Hope you enjoy the animation! Please look into the description if you're interested in where I got the models. I wanted to practice with facial expressions as well as working with smaller details this time around. Next up, I want to try creating my own models.
Little did Zelda know that Link had forgotten to increase his stamina, and with the increased weight of carrying her as well as the run up before, he only has the stamina to hold on to his glider for about a second longer. Also my god the animation looks outstanding. The bouncy expressive nature of it must've taken forever, but the dedication really shows!
Honestly the tweening and adding a bounce and stuff is the fun part. You get to experiment on how the animation is actually gonna look. I mean after you placed the more permanent poses when animating. Cuz if you change anything in the animation, it becomes an immediate nightmare…….
This is awesome! The Buoyancy Flexibility of the Animation, How bouncy it is and how expressive Both Link and Zelda are, It's perfect!, Hell, If you look closely, the way the characters blink is pitch perfect in timing and animation, and the voices for Link and Zelda are so good! Also this is wholesome as hell and it's a shame we did not get much of these moments in Totk
If there would ever be a LoZ movie, I hope it would be in this style. Zelda and Link's appearance and personalities are perfect here. Also I hope you make more Zelda animations like this.
Thanks, I'm actually currently working on one! Should be a lot easier and quicker to make, as I already have the assets ready, instead of having to rig both the models from scratch.
the animation, bounciness and expressions are so good!! You're so talented, it must have been hard to come to this level of skills but this clearly paid off!!
Tears of the Kingdom has put a plethora of Link and Zelda animations in my recommended all of a sudden. But out of all of them, this is the best I've seen, no doubt.
I really love the expressive style Christoph Schoch used for these models every time I see them. Like, I actually prefer this style to the actual models we get in the games. They're a lot more expressive and interesting to the eye as opposed to the official models.
the subtle movement of the ears are a nice touch. If the characters were human it would have been very weird but due to both of them are elven it looks very natural.
Love every sound in there, each perfectly adding to it, from the menu sounds down to the exceedingly subtle ones. Well done. The movements and positions are cartoony, expressive, and adorable. Hilarious writing. All around well done.
Ugh, I wish we had more slice of life moments between these two. Like compared to BOTW and Age of Calamity, there’s so little of it in Tears of the Kingdom. Also also, Zelda you do have a paraglider too y’know
This is so funny it could be happening in the botw canon hahaha And come on the animation is so carefully made and expressive, really good quality over here!
The bounciness makes Link and Zelda feel a lot more alive and cartoonish, which matches very well with the models. Hope to see more Zelda animations from you in the future after seeing this one.
Thanks! A little trick that we animators do when animating 3D, is when we have a perspective type view like that scene, we enlarge and stretch the hand closer to the camera.
Ahaha, thank you!! I'm still learning a lot when it comes to animation. Everything I've learnt was through TH-cam tutorials, but I know there's still plenty more to learn!
With that expression on your face you can tell she did this on purpose just cuz she likes when link "saves" her. Haha she just wanted to feel his muscles
already got the third blessing orb or whatever they are called, the game is so fun. A stupid trick to move around is take two floating platforms and move one jump on it, move the other and jump on it, reapeet, no flying machine needed air travel.
Hope you enjoy the animation! Please look into the description if you're interested in where I got the models. I wanted to practice with facial expressions as well as working with smaller details this time around. Next up, I want to try creating my own models.
I enjoyed the animation. Very lively. :D
Hey, did you have a business contact mail or something like that?
Did you use rotoscoping to animate those characters? Because it’s impressive how fluid the movement is.
Dude you blew it!!!
Seen so many other animations - but yours caught my eye faster than light!
And I was definately not dissappointed : )
It's the Purah pad now, just a small thing
Now I see why Link always has to save her: she’s oblivious to her surroundings.
Nice animation, by the way.
Especially in BotW. She would get so absorbed in her studies and new gadgets! 😂
Honestly that would be good way of giving her a flaw to make her more human
Less perceptive then a sedated Helen Keller
@@shadowbolthaseo1861 I dunno, sometimes Zelda is a person and sometimes she's the implacable queen of the magic kingdom. I like both
I think she’s really aware of her surroundings now considering they’ve been “demon boar” for about a century
Seriously, Link, you couldn't even tell Zelda to stop before she fell? Your dedication to being the silent knight has lethal consequences 🙄
Ahaha, I love this explanation! 😂
Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuuse me princess
@@A_Hylian_Not_An_Elf In your defense, she's got some poor situational awareness
Stuff like this is why he’s quiet
Sealiously Link?
I love the bouncyness to the model’s movements it really makes them both feel far more expressive
Edit: I have never gotten 1k this feels weird
Thanks! ☺️
@@LemonSamuraiI know it’s late but you mind telling me how you make your edits?
“animation”

Also my god the animation looks outstanding. The bouncy expressive nature of it must've taken forever, but the dedication really shows!
Thanks heaps! Most of the time spent was learning to rig the model. Now with all the assets ready, I should be able to produce another animation soon.
Just unequip glider and equip the glider 10 cm before impact. Guaranteed safe. Link approved
@@bearhugger3412i did it yesterday, i jumped and decided to try to open it before landing, and I didn't lose a single heart
Honestly the tweening and adding a bounce and stuff is the fun part. You get to experiment on how the animation is actually gonna look. I mean after you placed the more permanent poses when animating. Cuz if you change anything in the animation, it becomes an immediate nightmare…….
This is amazing!! Super bouncy and expressive, so underrated
Thanks! I emphasized on bounciness in the animation to make it seem more fun. Glad it was noticed. 😊
🤨 jk but in all seriousness very true
This could've easily been stale and awkward, but you put so much character into their movements and expressions.
Excellently done!
Aw, thanks heaps!
Her face at the end is the icing on the cake. Phenomenal work!
that was her plan all along...
@@BlueFlameFoxX yep
this animation is awesome!
Thankyou!
Exactly the hopping zelda is adorable
Getting an early volume RWBY vibe off of it.
That sassy look Zelda gave at 0:06 sold me on the whole animation. Superb.
Thank you!! Glad you liked that part. :D

Thanks mate! I've put more effort this time into the expressive details, glad it paid off. :D
If there would ever be a LoZ movie, I hope it would be in this style. Zelda and Link's appearance and personalities are perfect here.
Also I hope you make more Zelda animations like this.
Thanks, I'm actually currently working on one! Should be a lot easier and quicker to make, as I already have the assets ready, instead of having to rig both the models from scratch.
Buddy, I got news for you.
Congratulations on the animation, it's so beautiful and expressive
Thanks, expressive was exactly what I was going for! 😊
the squash and stretch in these animations give it so much personality
Glad it showed!
I don't know what is more impressive... How Link hides that glider up his butt, or how quickly he can pull it out?
Biggest mystery. 😂
Absolutely sweet and silly, love it.
Thank you!
I love how bouncy the animation is! Sometimes 3d models can look a bit rigid but this is so smooth
Thank you!
The animation is so good here, bouncy and stretchy in all the right spots, not to mention that this version of Zelda and Link is so cute together.
Thank you!! ☺️
Considering how much of a lovable dork Zelda is in this game, I wouldn’t be surprised if this actually happened.
Agreed! 😂
Hahaha the face that Zelda makes tell's me she does not regret anything...
😂
bro this animation is so solid i swear
Can't wait for this to be canon in totk
Just started up the game. Hoping to see more of Zelda this time. XD
@@LemonSamurai god dude I wish I could play the new game, I alr spent 70 bucks on a new controller since my pro got drift 😟
@@foshe If it's anything like the first one, there's gonna be heaps of content, so it'll be worth it once you're able to get it!
@@LemonSamurai hell yeah
@@LemonSamurai ive spent 6 of my 8 hours messing around with the new runes
Zelda knew the best way to get to hold Link close was if she was in mortal danger!
This was a set-up!
Haha, it would seem so! 😂
Zelda's facial reaction at the end at 35-36 sec mark is purely glorious animation
THIS IS SO CUTE
Thanks!
This animation is really snappy and expressive. I'm amazed by the amount of hard work spent in this short animation. You are impressive! 👏
Thanks heaps, glad you enjoyed it! I'm around halfway through the next animation, so I hope you'll look forward to it. 😊
Zelda's face at 0:34 reminds me of TCW Ahsoka Tano
the animation, bounciness and expressions are so good!! You're so talented, it must have been hard to come to this level of skills but this clearly paid off!!
Thank you! Went through a lot of TH-cam tutorials, and yes those have now paid off. ☺️
I have never seen this type of animation before and I love it!!!
this is how zelda ended up falling in totk, it's canon and no one can tell me otherwise
Too true!
Bro this is great! I love how Link just started running after her instead of trying to get her to stop too 😂
Silent protagonist syndrome. 😆
So cute!
Glad you enjoyed it. :D
is no one gonna talk about link’s girl boss pose at 0:11
😆
That side eye at the end...she totally loves that she gets to hang onto him.
I like how in all these Zelda is the bonehead for a change
She's book smart, Link's the street smart one.
They are very bouncy. Its cool.
Yep, I wanted to give it a more cartoonish and fun feel! Hopefully it turned out as I hoped.
The animation style is amazing it give how to train your dragon vibes
Tears of the Kingdom has put a plethora of Link and Zelda animations in my recommended all of a sudden. But out of all of them, this is the best I've seen, no doubt.
Thank you so much! 😊
They're both sweet dorks in their own right, and I love it
I love the little bounce that their ears have.
Love the details! Spot on with the facial expressions👌
Thank you! 😊
If you look at Zelda’s smug smile at the end, this is exactly the outcome she wanted. Link being played out here
Their looks at the end made me chuckle. And throughout, their ears are either very floppy, or very mobile and part of their expressions.
Glad you enjoyed it. ☺️
Link is always looking out for Zelda.
I live how link actually DIVES after her. Love the facial expressions!
One day I will understand where Link hides that huge paraglider all the time.
Also Zelda just needed an excuse to get this close to Link.
We need to figure out where how he stores all his items too. XD
I really love the expressive style Christoph Schoch used for these models every time I see them. Like, I actually prefer this style to the actual models we get in the games. They're a lot more expressive and interesting to the eye as opposed to the official models.
Yes, Christoph did amazing with these models! A lot of talent of there with the modelling.
Bro really fell for her 😎
😂
the subtle movement of the ears are a nice touch. If the characters were human it would have been very weird but due to both of them are elven it looks very natural.
Thanks!! Yeah, I made the ears wiggle a bit to give them a little personality. 😂
beautiful animation
but that look at the end, Zelda knew what she was doing
Thanks for watching! 😊
I love how bouncy and fluid the animations are, very nice!
The outlines remind me of the 3DS era games, but that's not a bad thing at all. Amazing animation btw
Thank you! I'm thinking of trying this other engine, which would make the outlines a little smaller and more defined. Hopefully it'll turn out well.
Your expression work is top notch
Thank you so much! It was really fun working on their expressions in these animations. 😁
Imagine LoZ in this style. It'd look insane!
I love how the characters bounce!!
The animation is so cute and bouncy! I love Zelda's little ear wiggles
Thanks! I thought making the ears wiggle would make the animation feel more cartoony and cute. ☺️
@@LemonSamurai well I always prefered when elves ears aided in emoting than just sitting there like normal human ears
This must be one of the cutest animations that I have ever seen.
Thank you so much!! 😊
Wow he actually caught her this time
I love the animation
Super bouncy and fun animation! Awesome job!!
Thanks for watching!
You really have the bounce and verve of these characters down!
I appreciate that the hylian hood is a slightly lighter brown, just like in game when you dye it
I love how lively and bouncy Zelda is in this, so cute!! ^^
Thanks, glad you liked it! 😊
There’s so much personality in this! I love how you did their body language. Great job! 😁
Thank you!! :D
This is awesome! I love how expressive and bouncy they are, keep up the great work!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Love every sound in there, each perfectly adding to it, from the menu sounds down to the exceedingly subtle ones. Well done.
The movements and positions are cartoony, expressive, and adorable.
Hilarious writing.
All around well done.
Thanks for watching! Hope you look forward to the next one. :D
Great animation! It feels like 2D cartoon animations , and the models you choose only help that effect, so its really nice on the eyes!
Thanks, I'm planning on keeping with the 2D style. :)
Much better than even the game. In game they are so emotionless
I love that their ears articulate with emotion!
Hehe, thanks!! 😊
the animation is so buttery smooth
Ugh, I wish we had more slice of life moments between these two. Like compared to BOTW and Age of Calamity, there’s so little of it in Tears of the Kingdom. Also also, Zelda you do have a paraglider too y’know
Yeah, some of the memories of the in BotW were very cute. Have an idea based on one of those for an upcoming animation.
This is so funny it could be happening in the botw canon hahaha
And come on the animation is so carefully made and expressive, really good quality over here!
Thanks! Love thinking of interactions for these two. XD
I love how bouncy this is! Its so cute!!
I would seriously love to see a Zelda movie in this animation. It looks so beautiful, distinct and fits the Zelda's game style so well.
It'd be nice if the movie was toon shaded, as it'll be the same shading as the games.
I’ve never seen a design for link that actually works so amazing job
This is hauntingly good animation.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll probably be finished with my next work sometime next week, hope you look forward to it!
I don't know why but when I look at your animations with Artstoff's assets, How to Train Your Dragon comes to mind.
The bounciness makes Link and Zelda feel a lot more alive and cartoonish, which matches very well with the models. Hope to see more Zelda animations from you in the future after seeing this one.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm working on one now, would probably be another month before it's ready. ☺️
Zelda's twirl at the start is so adorable.
Thank you!!
Omg the zoom on the hand when link realizes and the way you implemented the 3d models with the 2D background! I love it ❤
Thanks! A little trick that we animators do when animating 3D, is when we have a perspective type view like that scene, we enlarge and stretch the hand closer to the camera.
No hesitation. That's true love
This is so cute😭
What they don't know is that they are heading to Stone Talus
Rip. 😂
Maaan the animation is beautiful and so damn smooooooth!!!!
Thanks mate! Already got plans on the next one with improvements.
All according to plan.
- Zelda
Zelda knew what she was doing. Her face at the end gives it away.
Haha, glad you noticed. 😂
The animation is so fluid, noice work m8
Dude, the animation quality is outta this world!
Small animator? Really? You don't fool me, lad. That expresiveness, specially facial one, don't come without much experience and years
Ahaha, thank you!! I'm still learning a lot when it comes to animation. Everything I've learnt was through TH-cam tutorials, but I know there's still plenty more to learn!
With that expression on your face you can tell she did this on purpose just cuz she likes when link "saves" her.
Haha she just wanted to feel his muscles
That smirk she gave at the end leads me to believe that was all planned.
😏
The expressions are so good!
Love this! ❤️
already got the third blessing orb or whatever they are called, the game is so fun. A stupid trick to move around is take two floating platforms and move one jump on it, move the other and jump on it, reapeet, no flying machine needed air travel.
I kinda did that!😅😂
Ohh, I hadn't thought of that, gonna try it out! The 2nd game is incredible, there are so many different mechanics compared to the first one.
I love Link jumping without hesitation
That is *sooo* him!
Truly have improved by a lot keen to see more of your awesome work!
Why is the animation better then anything Nintendo has ever put out!!
I love this. It's just so well made!
Thanks. 🥹
The ear twitches just got me in the heart
Haha, thanks! I thought adding those would make the animation a little cuter. 😊
Total love it, their facial expressions are sooo cute and movements so smooth
Thanks for watching!! ☺️
