Wanted to shine some light on one of my favorite characters and concepts within the series. Link's counterpart, Ravio! Lemme know what other characters you'd like me cover on from the series!
I remember Ravio helping us with the Weapons and until the end, he just start talking to Hilda to make Lorule do a right thing and I'm glad we gave Hilda a Triforce at the end and Ravio looks like Link I'll be honest because with the hair except with Black hair for Ravio and Link have blonde hair and I didn't know there's Ravio Diary but that does make since now
I think Lorule represent a different sort of qualities that is still the same. Wisdom that requires mistakes and regrets to learn, Power that is nothing more than a tool to be used but without a mind of its own and finally, Courage that hid itself within cowardice. Ravio is indeed a coward but for the person he cared for, he WILL find a way. In this way, he is indeed Link's mirror. After all, true courage is acting despite fear.
So instead of the tri-force just giving power, wisdom, and courage, you have to achieve power yourself, learn from mistakes (not just your own either), and overcome fear itself.
i always got chills when Ravio scolded Hilda especially when he said "the reasons our noble ancestors destroyed our triforce.... Was to STOP such madness"
The part I got chills was when the music started to get really hype and quiet and weird all at once when (before and after/during) Hilda was sharing Lorules story. And also when she demanded his triforce piece. Her eyes freaked me out man
@@banolphinblu2638 She's absolutely terrifying, but extremely sympathetic. You really do feel bad for her. She did what she thought she should, even stooping so low as to let another world potentially get destroyed in her wake. I love her so much! She's such a fascinating character, and an excellent antagonist.
I feel kinda stupid for just realizing that Ravio dresses like a bunny and is from lorule, and in link to the past Link turned into a bunny in the dark world.
well lorule destroyed its triforce long ago to prevent people fighting over it. So Ravio didn't have a triforce of courage inhabiting him, so he didn't overcome his fear of failure. Hilda didn't have a triforce of wisdom, so she was easily duped by a sorcerer. They aren't devoid of those traits, they just don't have the inhuman amount that a triforce would grant.
But still link didn’t get the triforce of courage until he completed every dungeon and freed all sages so even without the triforce of courage link was still courageous enough to free the sages and save both lorule and hyrule.
When I had first seen Ravio, I joked to myself "what if he's Lorule's Link lol" and forgot all about that until the reveal, remembered seconds before the reveal, and shouted "GOD DAMNIT I PREDICTED IT AS A JOKE BY ACCIDENT"
I love Ravio, he is my favourite Zelda character! Just imagine if Nintendo made a game called The Legend Of Hilda, and you played as Ravio. That would be awesome!
Ravio did in fact have some courage. Even though he was too afraid to act on his own, he still was able to take action, thus displaying he does have a degree of genuine courage.
But, that's the DEFINITION of courage, acting while in GREAT fear of, or in the face of danger or a threat. And since link barely shows in genuine fear... Link: BRAVERY Ravio: COURAGE Ravio IS a hero of courage.
I've always thought of Link and Ravio as two sides of the same coin. Link's the side of stereotypical courage--the hero in the spotlight saving the Princess through skill and determination. Ravio's the other side--he doesn't want the spotlight, he's too terrified to, so instead of doing it himself, he works behind-the-scenes to achieve his ultimate goal.
A ruler who lacks wisdom will lead her kingdom to ruin. A hero who lacks courage will fail to step up. A villain who lacks power will still find a way. With no one to stop it, evil will blossom, and yet... What cannot be found within, might be seen outside. A ruler who lacks wisdom can seek it from others. A hero who lacks courage can be inspired to act. A villain who lacks power will grasp desperately at false strength. When things come to pass, a stand will be made. The foolish ruler is reckless, and has courage to spare. The cowardly hero is clever, with much wit to lend. The weak villain has shallow strength, but he stands alone. The fool and the coward lean on each other, cover for each other. The villain will not last when his power crumbles.
I actually thought Lorule was sort of a shifting on Hyrule not an inversion. In this case, who holds what virtue of the triforce. Ravio rather than having courage, has wisdom. He's aware of almost anything, the bracelet he makes is HIS specifically designed to counter and weaponize his enemies greatest strength against him. I suspect he may have made all the tools he ultimately sells to Link. He knows how to get everything done as evidenced by the tools, but lacks the courage to do so. Hilda on the other hand has power. She's one of the biggest players in the plot to steal the Trifroce of Hyrule. Her casual confirmation of 'containing' the double up of Yuga and Ganon speaks of enormous magical power and she's only taken out by a last second treachery, a gutsy move by the the holder of Courage. Yuga is a crazy bastard with no care for his own safety and jumps from world to world with impunity, uses his power openly without fear of repercussion and so ballsy that he tries and actually pulls of merging with Ganon. Courage in spades no? If my little crazy theory is true there might be a mid-rule where the hero has power, the princess courage and the villain wisdom. Imagine how that would shake out.
@@saphiriathebluedragonknight375 Likely a game where he outright wins because he tricks you into helping him that has a recurring mini-boss that you only get the good ending if you outright lose to them. Although we can't really be sure. Zelda constantly has Wisdom but has pulled some seriously pants on head stupid shit. After all, in Ocarina of Time she flat out reveals herself in a display of magic to Link and gets promptly captured. What was stopping her from whispering in his ear? She surrenders to Zant in Twilight Princess which is intelligent at first. But there's no request of Midna and Link who can clearly escape to carry a message and start coordinating with her forces outside? Couldn't she have given some sign of favour that would let Link rally the troops and be all the more ready for the final fight? In Minish Cap the obviously Evil Cackling lunatic that looks like he's outright trying to look evil but is too goth for even that isn't immediately retreated from and she gets turned to stone for it. Though full points for getting Link a shield and I will go a bit easier because she's a child so young that no one bats an eye at her running around like she's hyper. In Link to the Past, why isn't she in disguise on top of simply hiding in the church? That would have bought you some more time, especially if you go to places like the Lost Woods or the like. Ocarina of Time shows us that she can disguise herself VERY well so why not do that?
Dear sweet hell, a villain with wisdom would be horrifying, hopefully a hero with power and a princess courageous enough to help would actually defeat someone who's trickery might just fuck everything up; if Yuga tricked Hilda, who's to say a villain with wisdom can't trick the princess or the hero, or hell, even both! We need more smart villains! Imagine a game where they're so thoroughly screwed that both Lorule and Hyrule have to help! And they only know because some wizard got desperate and broke the barriers to draw attention to the fact that THEY'RE IN FUCKING TROUBLE AND NEED HELP PLEASE! I WANT THIS GAME NOW!
@@saphiriathebluedragonknight375 yeah compared to zelda who actually has the triforce of wisdom he's much smarter because zelda hasn't really given any useful advice since for as long as u can remember
Lorule losing it's triforce also explains a lot about the characters. There was no triforce of courage, so Ravio was not brave enough to face an imminent threat. There was no triforce of wisdom, so Hilda fell for Yuga's guise. There was no triforce of power, so Yuga couldn't simply take what hyrule had by force. He had to use his unique abilities and cunning to set their plan into motion.
I remember I saw this one comic dub where Hilda names the lorulean triforce pieces I think it was something like Yuga = Art Hilda = Politics Ravio = Business.
the coolest part of the game for me was when Zelda and Link used the one triforce wish they were given to give Hilda and Ravio's triforce back to them. it was super thoughtful, instead of using it to repair their world, they used it to repair a whole other world
Oh my GOD yes! I loved their reactions to getting it back too- Hilda was so so relieved and was on the verge of tears as Ravio was blown away and was smiling ear to ear. Just- their reactions made the end of the game so so much more worth playing
I really wanna know how ravios reincarnations managed to save lorule in the future we should get a game where we play as ravio and like, get other heros to do our jobs instead
Assuming Lorule's triforce has the same virtues, I assume Ravio is wisdom while Hilda is courage. Because Ravio saw through Yuga, made a plan, and it worked. Hilda, while brave enough to literally fight for her world, made some... really stupid decisions. And then Yuga would still be power Also I really dislike Ravio for his greed, but he sure is an interesting character
You're on the right mark but since their triforce is destroyed, their respective traits are too. Hilda is now a fool, Ravio is a coward, and Yuga is a trickster. (as opposed to an outright tyrant) without their signature strengths they adapt to other methods. We don't get to see how they are once their triforce returns so we don't know. But sense would dictate this to be the case.
@@twobearshighfiving7660 Nice idea. I personally don't see how that'd happen within the game's lore though. The Triforce pieces go to whoever most believes in its respective virtue. Like, if no one has the Triforce, and then someone splits it, the courage piece goes to whoever most strongly believes in courage. Getting the piece doesn't make them courageous. Maybe it helps but you have to /already/ embody that trait to get the piece in the first place. Whether the Triforce is destroyed or not isn't going to change the personality of whoever would have wielded the pieces. Outside a lore perspective though, I can see your idea being an intentional thing the devs did. A backwards Hyrule where the Triforce wielders are backwards to how you'd expect.
@@lindenbree9188 yeah you're right on that. They gotta be worthy first. But the triforce itself being gone for so long has turned the land into a den of thieves and miscreants. It could be the triforces very existence is the embodiment of these virtues as they'd naturally occur in people. Without it's influence, the people of lorule turn to degenerate behavior. By destroying the triforce they destroyed their very ability to be strong, courageous, or wise?
@@twobearshighfiving7660 Hm... maybe. I still think Hilda was courageous, and Ravio wise though. But maybe no one can be balanced in all three aspects anymore. I also assumed the degeneracy was the natural result of the apocalypse occurring, but the Triforce virtues as character traits weakening/disappearing from the people over time is a neat idea!
@@lindenbree9188 I go with your idea, but would switch Hilda and Yuga, as someone mentioned before in replies to comments above yours. He had to have some courage, to have decided on such a scheme in the first place, and Hilda would have been very powerful, if she'd have done what she originally planned.
Ravio is (or at least a reference to) the bunny-Link of Link to the past. In the dark world link's true form is a helpless pink bunny until you get the moon pearl. The bunny mask is no accident.
I follow the theory which weilder of the triforce being switched. Ravio Having Wisdom instead of Courage, Hilda Having Power instead of Wisdom and Yuga Having Courage instead of Power.
Ravio's bird thing is also an easter egg because the colors are swapped with Navi with its wings being blue snd the body being white whereas navi has white wings and her body is blue
I love Ravio! I think it's mostly because he looks similar to me (as far as the green eyes and dark hair goes anyway), even if he lacks the courage to face evil. Still, he did show courage in his own way, and for that he's a hero in my book.
I think that Ravio posesses a different kind of courage. He is more like a behind - the - scene type hero. By the way, if anyone is familiar with the 80's LOZ cartoons, Link had black hair, a reference to how the early LOZ Games portrayed him. Possibly Ravio was a homage to this.
I legitimately thought this was some Zelda fanfiction, but I'm so glad I watched this. Hopefully, I will decide to play A Link Between Worlds thanks to you, ZeldaMaster.
He is courage, just not in the way you may think, yes he is scared, but does things despite being scared. Which in fact is the very definition of courage.
anyone else notice that ravios voice also changes to sound exactly like links after he takes off his mask? that must mean he previously disguised his voice to sound different so link wouldn't get suspicious
If we go solely based on that logic, then Ganon's Lorule counterpart was Yuga, who sought him out and fused with him. the villains of two worlds fused into one, becoming a single entity that threatened both worlds. It took both heroes, and both princesses, to defeat the villain(s) and save their worlds. I would love to see another game that followed ALBW, but happens just 10 years later, when Yuga and Ganon somehow return for both Hyrule's Triforce, and Lorule's Triforce, which causes Hilda and Ravio to reach out to Zelda and Link once more.
Lorule’s Triforce was destroyed long ago. As such, its destined holders were all effected: all of them were lacking in their traits. Yuga sought out the Triforce because didn’t have the power to enact his plans, Hilda didn’t have the wisdom to see she was being duped into dooming both worlds out of desperation, and Ravio didn’t have the courage needed to face them both to save the day. All three used their more complete counterparts to make up for their deficiencies.
The master sword he was supposed to wield must have been demise’s sword or is wasn’t created yet since link used the material to upgrade his master sword in Lorule. I wonder what happened to Ghirahim when demise was defeated
I’m so glad to see a video on this game, it’s my second favorite game of all time (Second to twilight princess) and it does not get the credit it deserves! It’s such an amazing game and I wish there was more content and praise for it
He’s such a likable character. I think it may be us seeing somebody re can relate to a bit more than Link. Let’s face it, how many ten year olds are capable of what Link does time and time again? Ravio is much closer to the average player
1:11 FURRY JUMPSCARE Also, im glad you made this now it'll be slightly easier to tell someone why he's my favorite Zelda character (Also ignore me saying this 5-6 years later-)
I always imagined that in Lorule the hero pocessed the triforce of wisdom, and the princess of courage. Hilda lacked the forsight that Zelda had, but had that same inner strength to face whatever came her way as Link, the same way that Ravio lacked courage, but had the smarts to realize Hilda was too far gone until he defeated her and Yuga. Ravio had that intellect that Hilda lacked and clearly missed at the end.
It would be dope to see another game kinda like this one but instead of Ravio dark link. But literally extremely evil. And with a blade reverse of the master sword. With the power to defeat light
It’d be cool if Linkle was canon. Especially she’s a Hero, too. Just from a different source. While the Links may have the Triforce, Linkle has her compass, which is something I’d like to see explored. Also, it’d be pretty great if the Anouki came back
Also I think every parallel realm to Hyrule has a "failed hero" of sorts. Just usually they can't step in because they're dead, like in Majora's Mask. It's nice to have a bit of variety.
Hopefully doing much better, since they have a Triforce, but I think Link between worlds takes place in the downfall timeline, since it's in Link to the Past's future
Or maybe it wasnt since the guardians and the divine beast was corrupted by ganon so in lorule the guardians and the divine beast killed yuga ganon but yuga ganon awakes after 100 years and rules the world
Courage isn't the absence of fear. Courage is the ability to take action despite one's fear. By that logic, Luigi is genuinely courageous, despite his "scaredy cat" persona. He has faced his fears three times already.
I always thought that moment Ravio throws himself between Link and Hilda was his bravest moment. I mean, since Link beat everything else already, doesn't that make him the scariest, most powerful thing in the kingdoms?
What’s funny is I just played LBW for the first time this year. And I genuinely didn’t know who Ravio actually was. Lol it was a pleasant surprise at the end of the game.
It makes me wonder what Ravio is like in other games and other parallels, such as if instead of Ravios hood in breath of the wild, in the porous version would there be Links hat.
I feel like this should have included a spoiler warning. Ravio is a very interesting character. It's too bad he probably won't be in any future games. (At least there's Hyrule Warriors.)
i clicked on the video because i've been playing the game and thought I was gonna watch a theory on ravio-I didn't realize it was actually an explanation and that i was gonna get spoiled!!
Nevertheless, it took a tremendous amount of courage for Ravio to find Link in Hyrule. There was no stopping Yuga and the first time I played the game, I was mesmerized by his overwhelming power. Once he merged with Ganon, I thought Link was going to die. However, when I faced him in combat, and managed to finish him off, I never knew Ravio would confess to something like that.
Wanted to shine some light on one of my favorite characters and concepts within the series. Link's counterpart, Ravio! Lemme know what other characters you'd like me cover on from the series!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
I get a video for my birthday!
I remember Ravio helping us with the Weapons and until the end, he just start talking to Hilda to make Lorule do a right thing and I'm glad we gave Hilda a Triforce at the end and Ravio looks like Link I'll be honest because with the hair except with Black hair for Ravio and Link have blonde hair and I didn't know there's Ravio Diary but that does make since now
Could u do a Video on Elzo! He is another underrated gem in the Zelda series
The Champions and their succesors
I think Lorule represent a different sort of qualities that is still the same. Wisdom that requires mistakes and regrets to learn, Power that is nothing more than a tool to be used but without a mind of its own and finally, Courage that hid itself within cowardice. Ravio is indeed a coward but for the person he cared for, he WILL find a way. In this way, he is indeed Link's mirror. After all, true courage is acting despite fear.
I personally really like this theory.
Kkkyyyiiaaaaaaa!!! This is so perfect!
So instead of the tri-force just giving power, wisdom, and courage, you have to achieve power yourself, learn from mistakes (not just your own either), and overcome fear itself.
Thats just a theory.... A GAAAAME THEORY THANKS FOR WATCHING
Wisdom that requires mistakes? "I am error?"
i always got chills when Ravio scolded Hilda especially when he said "the reasons our noble ancestors destroyed our triforce.... Was to STOP such madness"
He got the courage to confront her
The part I got chills was when the music started to get really hype and quiet and weird all at once when (before and after/during) Hilda was sharing Lorules story. And also when she demanded his triforce piece. Her eyes freaked me out man

yeah there has to be a connections besides just a reference.
@John Savva they hint that the old man in The village is that Link.
"By nature of definition, only the coward is capable of the highest heroism." David Gemmel
You forgot one important thing about Ravio... He can talk. The ultimate counterpart to Link.
I was looking for somebody to say this!
Link talks in some points
That’s illegal
Ravio talks A LOT.
Ravio be YAPPING
If Hyrule's triforce is made up of power, wisdom, and courage, then would Lorule's triforce be weakness, ingnorance, and cowardice?
Ohhhh, me like
LOL
@@ZeldaMaster Oh hello
Shut up
Candy deadmeme calm done mate
Also, here's another fun fact:
Lorule has a counterpart for EVERY character in the game, except the seven sages.
Huh…Now that’s interesting…Perhaps the Lorule Sages we’re murdered by Yuga before the events of the game? 🤔
@@Minecraft101ToonLink I don't think so. The Lorule smiths specifically mention that they've never had a son. They simply did not exist.
That’s also interesting. I forgot about that piece of text in the game.
no triforce no sages
There’s no seven sages because there was no triforce to seal also what would Ganon’s counter part be?
well lorule destroyed its triforce long ago to prevent people fighting over it. So Ravio didn't have a triforce of courage inhabiting him, so he didn't overcome his fear of failure. Hilda didn't have a triforce of wisdom, so she was easily duped by a sorcerer. They aren't devoid of those traits, they just don't have the inhuman amount that a triforce would grant.
Makes sense
But still link didn’t get the triforce of courage until he completed every dungeon and freed all sages so even without the triforce of courage link was still courageous enough to free the sages and save both lorule and hyrule.
Good point.
When I had first seen Ravio, I joked to myself "what if he's Lorule's Link lol" and forgot all about that until the reveal, remembered seconds before the reveal, and shouted "GOD DAMNIT I PREDICTED IT AS A JOKE BY ACCIDENT"
Me, I spent the whole game going, "Where's the Dark Link?"
The Reval touched my heart that he'd have the courage to admit he was scared and weak and that he went to such length to save her
I love Ravio, he is my favourite Zelda character! Just imagine if Nintendo made a game called The Legend Of Hilda, and you played as Ravio. That would be awesome!
Same I would Buy It Imeddiately. I love Ravio He is a good Character Because You Can Get Weapons You Need To complete Something
Ravio is such a cutie! He's so helpful too! Yeah, he's an expensive lil bean, but still!
I totally agree xD
I'm disappointed there hasn't been a spin off Legend of Hilda game yet
@@MarineNyx Yeah, Nintendo missed out on a great opportunity

He might not have had courage, but he certainly had wisdom.
Maybe he wields 2 triforce pieces
Mmm... I like this!
He was a coward but when he chooses to act despite his disposition - he became brave, he became a hero.
A ruler who lacks wisdom will lead her kingdom to ruin.
A hero who lacks courage will fail to step up.
A villain who lacks power will still find a way.
With no one to stop it, evil will blossom, and yet...
What cannot be found within, might be seen outside.
A ruler who lacks wisdom can seek it from others.
A hero who lacks courage can be inspired to act.
A villain who lacks power will grasp desperately at false strength.
When things come to pass, a stand will be made.
The foolish ruler is reckless, and has courage to spare.
The cowardly hero is clever, with much wit to lend.
The weak villain has shallow strength, but he stands alone.
The fool and the coward lean on each other, cover for each other.
The villain will not last when his power crumbles.
That is insanely beautiful
Dude... poetry
Did you come up with that yourself? That was beautifully put.
@@Acidfrog475 Yeah, came up with it on the spot.

I also assumed the degeneracy was the natural result of the apocalypse occurring, but the Triforce virtues as character traits weakening/disappearing from the people over time is a neat idea!
@@lindenbree9188 I go with your idea, but would switch Hilda and Yuga, as someone mentioned before in replies to comments above yours. He had to have some courage, to have decided on such a scheme in the first place, and Hilda would have been very powerful, if she'd have done what she originally planned.
I love Ravio, and really would like to play as him in a game.
Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition for the Switch has him as a playable character.
Ravio is (or at least a reference to) the bunny-Link of Link to the past. In the dark world link's true form is a helpless pink bunny until you get the moon pearl. The bunny mask is no accident.
I follow the theory which weilder of the triforce being switched. Ravio Having Wisdom instead of Courage, Hilda Having Power instead of Wisdom and Yuga Having Courage instead of Power.
Ravio is my favorite character from a link between worlds.
I love Ravio he is so funny looking
@@gamecavalier3230 lol I'm glad I made your day
@@gamecavalier3230 I didn't notice until I read your comment, and burst out laughing as well lmao the name and picture are great
I thought it was some version of link to the past because link turns into a bunny in the other demension
That's likely where the inspiration comes from
So i though he was links grandpa most of the game cause of that :/
Ravio's bird thing is also an easter egg because the colors are swapped with Navi with its wings being blue snd the body being white whereas navi has white wings and her body is blue
I'm still trying to figure out that name "Sheerow" tho.
@@chrissysonicutdrloz It's based on a "sparrow", a bird, and then "shiro", meaning "white" in Japanese
I would love to see a breath of the wild styled Lorule with even more twisted versions of Guardians, bokoblins and other such beasts.
I love Ravio! I think it's mostly because he looks similar to me (as far as the green eyes and dark hair goes anyway), even if he lacks the courage to face evil. Still, he did show courage in his own way, and for that he's a hero in my book.
I think that Ravio posesses a different kind of courage. He is more like a behind - the - scene type hero. By the way, if anyone is familiar with the 80's LOZ cartoons, Link had black hair, a reference to how the early LOZ Games portrayed him. Possibly Ravio was a homage to this.
In lorule, they would have the mistress sword if Link didn’t steal all of the master crystals.
I legitimately thought this was some Zelda fanfiction, but I'm so glad I watched this. Hopefully, I will decide to play A Link Between Worlds thanks to you, ZeldaMaster.
He is courage, just not in the way you may think, yes he is scared, but does things despite being scared. Which in fact is the very definition of courage.
anyone else notice that ravios voice also changes to sound exactly like links after he takes off his mask?
that must mean he previously disguised his voice to sound different so link wouldn't get suspicious
If we go solely based on that logic, then Ganon's Lorule counterpart was Yuga, who sought him out and fused with him. the villains of two worlds fused into one, becoming a single entity that threatened both worlds. It took both heroes, and both princesses, to defeat the villain(s) and save their worlds. I would love to see another game that followed ALBW, but happens just 10 years later, when Yuga and Ganon somehow return for both Hyrule's Triforce, and Lorule's Triforce, which causes Hilda and Ravio to reach out to Zelda and Link once more.
"YOU'RE A GOOD GREEDY DIRTBAG!"
Who thinks Link and Ravio are such beautiful boys?
Mmmeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
It’s like a mix between the cowardly lion and snagglepuss.
Lorule’s Triforce was destroyed long ago. As such, its destined holders were all effected: all of them were lacking in their traits.
Yuga sought out the Triforce because didn’t have the power to enact his plans, Hilda didn’t have the wisdom to see she was being duped into dooming both worlds out of desperation, and Ravio didn’t have the courage needed to face them both to save the day. All three used their more complete counterparts to make up for their deficiencies.
The master sword he was supposed to wield must have been demise’s sword or is wasn’t created yet since link used the material to upgrade his master sword in Lorule. I wonder what happened to Ghirahim when demise was defeated
I’m so glad to see a video on this game, it’s my second favorite game of all time (Second to twilight princess) and it does not get the credit it deserves! It’s such an amazing game and I wish there was more content and praise for it
He’s such a likable character. I think it may be us seeing somebody re can relate to a bit more than Link. Let’s face it, how many ten year olds are capable of what Link does time and time again? Ravio is much closer to the average player
Thanks ZeldaMaster Ravio is my favortie Zelda character by far! Thanks!
1:11 FURRY JUMPSCARE
Also, im glad you made this now it'll be slightly easier to tell someone why he's my favorite Zelda character
(Also ignore me saying this 5-6 years later-)
GUY!? I didnt expect anyone else here lol. And I agree that it is easier to talk about Ravio now
Ravio might has a fear and a big coward. He has a lot of courage just to step up and do something.
I always imagined that in Lorule the hero pocessed the triforce of wisdom, and the princess of courage. Hilda lacked the forsight that Zelda had, but had that same inner strength to face whatever came her way as Link, the same way that Ravio lacked courage, but had the smarts to realize Hilda was too far gone until he defeated her and Yuga. Ravio had that intellect that Hilda lacked and clearly missed at the end.
You can also say that Ravio has a different type of courage... the courage to seek help.
This was really good! I love Ravio~ Have you thought about doing one about shadow Link from the overall series? :D
Takes a lot of courage to stand up to a friend.
idk fuly why but whenever I see Ravio's name I think of ravioli and get hungry. IMMA EAT YOUR RAVIOLI, RAVIO!
I long for the day we get "The Legend of Hilda"
It is as courageous to know your limits as it is to know your strengths. The story clearly was painting him as a coward. I agree he was also a hero.
It would be dope to see another game kinda like this one but instead of Ravio dark link. But literally extremely evil. And with a blade reverse of the master sword. With the power to defeat light
I aways wanted a zelda game where link turns evil for some reason
And then another link comes to defeat him
Wouldn't an evil mirror to the master sword be Giriham?
That's too good to be true though
Not gonna lie, Ravio needs more rep in other Zelda games
Ravio and Hilda both do. I dunno why they weren’t included as ALT in smash, such a missed opportunity.
We need more RAVIO
Man, I love this ravioli guy
I love that Ravio had all the items from the beginning while Link has to find weapons along the way
Coward or not Ravio has a big soft heart and low key soooo cute 🥺✌️
It’d be cool if Linkle was canon. Especially she’s a Hero, too. Just from a different source. While the Links may have the Triforce, Linkle has her compass, which is something I’d like to see explored. Also, it’d be pretty great if the Anouki came back
Also I think every parallel realm to Hyrule has a "failed hero" of sorts. Just usually they can't step in because they're dead, like in Majora's Mask. It's nice to have a bit of variety.
imagine if in breath of the wild there was a way to go to lorule and see how its it like
Christian Beberagge oh gosh i want iT
Hopefully doing much better, since they have a Triforce, but I think Link between worlds takes place in the downfall timeline, since it's in Link to the Past's future
Zelda holds calamity ganon for 100 years
So in lorule
Hilda uhhh dead i guess.. Or still alive and the calamity yuga ganon there rules the lorule
Or maybe it wasnt since the guardians and the divine beast was corrupted by ganon so in lorule the guardians and the divine beast killed yuga ganon but yuga ganon awakes after 100 years and rules the world
I hope in the future we'll be able to visit termina and lorule again.
We need to see more or Ravio, his design is one of the best of all characters
Love how the actual video is around 7-8 minutes long but has enough music and images to pad it to 10 minutes
Ravio is cool. I like him. No homo.
Ravio is link without courage.
Courage is half of link
Ravio and half of link
Ravio+li=Ravioli
Courage isn't the absence of fear. Courage is the ability to take action despite one's fear. By that logic, Luigi is genuinely courageous, despite his "scaredy cat" persona. He has faced his fears three times already.
Love him wish he was in more games. What happened he was the hero but he failed he wasn't strong enough or brave enough to save his land.
I always thought that moment Ravio throws himself between Link and Hilda was his bravest moment. I mean, since Link beat everything else already, doesn't that make him the scariest, most powerful thing in the kingdoms?
Haha, that's a good point! Especially when Link was totally about to start thrashing Hilda's butt with the Master Sword.
This is one of the only times that link meets another link aside from the hero's shade
Kyaa!!!!
My duet Zelinker-feed for the upcoming holiday season. ⛩🍡🌸
Thank you for sharing, ZeldaMaster.
What’s funny is I just played LBW for the first time this year. And I genuinely didn’t know who Ravio actually was. Lol it was a pleasant surprise at the end of the game.
Ya finally my fav game is mentioned ( a link between world's )
Seriously tho love the difference between Zelda and Hilda
In my opinion I think Ravio is the best Zelda character, he kind of reminds me of Luigi and Luigi is my favorite Mario character.
Yes indeed.
ravio is courageous since he didnt face something he knew he cant handle
It makes me wonder what Ravio is like in other games and other parallels, such as if instead of Ravios hood in breath of the wild, in the porous version would there be Links hat.
That reminds me of shadow link from four swords. At least in the Manga, he turned out being good in the end.
He came at the end
That was such a great video! Keep up the great work!
Ravio boi fo life
I feel like this should have included a spoiler warning.
Ravio is a very interesting character. It's too bad he probably won't be in any future games. (At least there's Hyrule Warriors.)
He may have been a coward but he had the wisdom to seek link's help
I would like to be Navi so I could annoy the crap out of link
Hey Listen!
Hey Listen!
Hey Listen!
Fun game: drink every time he says hero
I actually really wouldn't call Ravio a coward, he already has more courage than I do
Was Link's Awakening on Switch completed? I didn't see the last part where you woke up the Wind Fish.
Ravio is honestly my favorite Zelda character
i clicked on the video because i've been playing the game and thought I was gonna watch a theory on ravio-I didn't realize it was actually an explanation and that i was gonna get spoiled!!
Nevertheless, it took a tremendous amount of courage for Ravio to find Link in Hyrule. There was no stopping Yuga and the first time I played the game, I was mesmerized by his overwhelming power. Once he merged with Ganon, I thought Link was going to die. However, when I faced him in combat, and managed to finish him off, I never knew Ravio would confess to something like that.
I wish we could see how Lowrule turned out after the game was finished. Like maybe a game that brings us back to that world chasing a fleeing boss.
Now that I see this, this game looks like Stranger Thins when you go through a portal
Maybe he lacked courage, because the people of Lorule destroyed their Triforce.
Link is always depicted as the one carrying the Triforce of Courage.
