:0
Miyamoto reminds me of Batman, haha.
@@thestop-motionguy9909 how?
@@theboss9137 Because, Bruce Wayne stumbled across a cave.
Truly the darkest timeline.
Being born in 1980, I wish I could truly express how impactful Zelda II felt when it first came out. It’s a shame it aged so differently.
Zelda II is my favorite Legend of Zelda game
I was born in '79. I remember the Golden cart. I wish I could do the same, but I get you. I'll never be able to explain the emotions I feel hearing the music from The legend of zelda, and Link to the past 💗
Aged diferently?? I love the game. Dont let other peoples opinion afect yours. If they differ from yours. I never ever cared of no ones opinion when it comes to games at least
Born 1978 I loved both of those zelda games. The legend of zelda made my dad buy a Nintendo after renting the game for a week with a console lol so I thank that game for my gaming future lol
@@sirmi9868 dude is saying he wished they’d make more like the first few. He doesn’t care what others think.
Edit. Also newer Nintendo graphics and console sucks. The first three in USA were revolutionary. Since then it sucks. Nintendo doesn’t care like they used to. It’s too woke in the wrong way
WHY DOESN'T THIS HAVE MILLIONS OF VIEWS THIS VID IS SO GOOD
true
Maybe it will have in some years or month. Let us hope, that the algorithm comes in play.
Compared to the channel’s sub count this vid has an insane amount of views.
bc the channel requires dlc
I'm watching it back to back till we get there boys
How does this video not have more views?!? Very well done, thanks for putting this together!
Avalanche AND Zelda fan? good look sir !
Woah I just assumed this would have millions of views, only 11k!
Didn't realize it didn't have many views for how well it was made, I would've expected many more it's such a good video
How does this channel not have more subs???
prolly bc zelda fking sucks bro
10/10 underrated gem of a video!
Hi sc6ut
Agreed. I upvoted immediately when he called SMB by it’s name, Super Mario Brothers, rather than calling it bros like so many Nintendo YTers with no actual Nintendo knowledge.
True
Hey sc6ut I love your edits bro your my idol
It really isn’t tho
I love that nobody ever brings up OoT introducing the Deku. Makes them feel special since they're forgotten.
@@houseofskulltulips the Zora existed before OoT.
@@PatLund they said Deku
@@ItsSpice the person I was replying to deleted their comment or something. They said he never mentioned the Zora either.
Didnt they orgin from Karoki ?
Yet they become stalfos if their souls get lost
Breath of the wild is the most amazing game I’ve played. And I remember playing original Zelda as a kid. It’s amazing.
I still play Oracle of ages and Oracle of seasons whenever I get free time 2 of my favourite games of all time even though I like all the originals but yes BOTW2 IS GOING TO ROCK hope your getting your shrines and hearts up lol gonna need em 🙂
Agreed and Agreed
its garbage hahahahahahah "its amazing" XD !½
fucking scifi junk
@paper_news_ninja NICOLAS I couldn't agree more
This is a great documentary and I hope more people are able to see this
Omg pucci is a Zelda fan
A link to the past was most amazing to play back in the day..
Still my favorite game
I had never played any zelda game, and last year I decided to play ALttP in the NSO's Switch service. I loved it! It's still very fun and with all the pixel-indie games that are very relevant right now it doesn't feel aged at all! After that I played OoT, BoTW, LA and Caence of Hyrule and am very excited to play the rest of the games in the series!
Just picked it up for the 1st time since 2005...Still the best in the series 👌
Its stil is even without bringing up graphics it is up to part next to ocarina and I feel its filled with just as much story as it. Young link adult link. And light world and dark world
@@Serch_YB27 never to late to become a fan 😉
10:45 they’re really out here giving thriller a run for it’s money lol
A Link to the Past is the single greatest video game of all time in my opinion. It was in a league of it’s own when it came out and aged perfectly.
Excellent video, TLOZ is truly an iconic series and has come so far. It holds such a place in my heart, including Twilight Princess and BOTW, of course.
He
Love your onlyfans vids ;)
hell yeh
It’s crazy how far gaming has come in a short span of time
(Also keep grinding your talent will come to light eventually) this deserves more views
10:56 Imagine you're standing in front of a giant pig demon thing that could kill you at any second with one swipe and you decide the best thing to do is dance in a flash mob
I just stumbled on this video and... This was exactly What i wanted to see! Thanks bro, i concider myself subscribed, great vid!!
YES
It's hard to imagine Links Awakening and the Oracle series was created *after* LTTP, I played them reverse and it felt like a natural evolution of style
Superb video. Blown away by how good and informative this was. Thank you
my favorite game of all time is zelda twilight princess. i got it on my pc and was having a blast until dumb me tried to make a desktop shortcut for it and somehow that deleted the file for the game and i only gor 7 hours of playtime, but in that 7 hours it proved not only to be my favorite zelda game, but my favorite game of all time
My dad recently passed from COVID. I just finished oot at the time so I played Majora's mask and the motief of the game really helped.
TH-cam algorithm should recommend this more! Great content!
Minish Cap is easily the most underrated Zelda title ever. I've played the game all the way through at least twice, it's very fun and has the coolest secrets to explore
I LOVE WHAT YOU DID HERE MATE! the details was awesome!
Please do more of these!! This was really well done and a joy to watch. Thank you!
This video is absolutely amazing.
Thank you for this! I love it!
Zelda has and always will be favorite series.
Amazing work! This deserves way more views, I love when TH-cam sends me these gems. Looking forward to seeing more from you!
Amazing video!! I hope you do end up making more of these in this series. There's so many legendary game franchises you could do.
Magnificent video. This should have at least a million views. Narrative was great, a lot of information. Loved it. Thank you
Very underrated video; nice thorough analysis and you kept it engaging the whole time
Great overview of the whole history, even mentioned a few things I forgot about or didn't know already. How does a channel of this quality not even have 2k subs?
Agree
Awesome comprehensive video man! Really interesting stuff! You’re channel is way underrated!
Amazing video guys! Thank you for such quality!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wish they did more Top Down view games. I just love the mechanics of A Link to The Past
I watched the video because although I’ve been gaming since 1996, I haven’t touched Zelda. Gonna play through them all soon and wanted to know what to expect. I grabbed the Zelda collection for GameCube to start with.
Absolutely fantastic work and I hope you get back to these types of videos!
This is so well made, i’m gonna binge watch your other videos now
Truly entertaining and informative. Thank you very much for your great work!
The amount of effort and time put in this video is just wow. This really needs a lot more views
Blown away with this video. Thank you and well done.
this video is so well thought through and put together - lovely work!
Now THIS is what you call high quality content! The amount of research and effort put into this video was amazing! All of the 45 minutes were worth watching.
Looking at the comments it's cool to literally see a channel taking off. I saw a comment wondering how such a good video could only have 600 subs, now it is just shy of 2k. Keep up the good work!
Amazing.. Truly amazing.. New to the Zelda series and this was just perfect! Respect for the excellent work!!! 👍
Incredible video, enjoyed every second of it! Thank you very much.
Great video! Really nice history lesson of the entire franchise. I absolutely love the Zelda series and I could tell a lot of love went into this. I’m looking to replaying skyward sword this year!
Just found this. Quality work, it's a shame more people haven't watched this. I'll share it to my FB, and encourage you to make more episodes of this series. Thank you for your creation.
No thank you for sharing! I appreciate it. I have future episodes planned for this series, although I am working on a different video essay first
While I’m sure these videos are incredibly time consuming to make I would love to see more of these as they flow well, provide great info and are just over fantastic videos. Looking forward to more!
Link's Awaikening is the very best.
It was the first I ever played. That probably defined my The Legend of Zelda expectations.
Surprised dont got more comments on your video, i mean nice in depth review of the entire series and people behind it. good job. SUBSCRIBED!!!
I just thought of doing a video like this, and why it means so much to so many of us. Great Video!!
Such a great video, narration, editing and factually. Enjoyed a lot.
Great video!
hi love your vids
Who knew agadmator played video games lol
What, agadmator under a zelda video! Nice
Hello Aria Vachier-Lagrave
10/10 one of the best videos explaining the legend of zelda, hope you get more subscribers
Unbelievable video- loved every minute of it = great work!!!!
This video is so well made, made me fell a lot of nostalgia. Thank you Deserves a sub
Love how these masterpieces came to play. Thank you for telling us the whole story . 💞
Epic video, deserves 100x more views.
So much nostalgia watching this :)
Just fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed! Thanks
Subbed
Your channel is extremely underrated
You need more vids like this my man ! One of the best ive seen
Zelda 2 is the black sheep while the cdi wasn't even a sheep
What an absolutely amazingly well done video... well done.
I just want to say thank you for calling it Super Mario Brothers. So many Nintendo youtubers call it bros instead of brothers because they don’t know anything and then when you tell them in the comments they tell you you’re wrong. Instant like and subscribe.
oh man i sure do love the whole franchise, spirit tracks it kinda underrated, it was very fun and the ost was great
Great vid bro...really enjoyed watching, keep up good work
such a good video. loved learning about all the lesser known titles!
I LOVED the video!!! Great work for a Legend of game 💯💯💯
I"m gonna be a total boomer here but it just has to be said. I am 40 years old and to truly appreciate how fucking epic Zelda LTTP was you just had to be there during it's original run when it released on the SNES. My generation (boys born in late 70s and early 80s) grew up on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Trading carts, renting games, playing everything imaginable. Yes some of us had PCs or Commodore 64s or Macs but at that time none of those games could compete with the NES. When the SNES released it was a life changing event for an 11 year old boy in America. The music, the graphics and controls of those games were mind blowing...
LTTP though. It was an adventure like no other anyone had ever seen. Sure there were the NES JRPGs like Dragon Warrior and Ultima or Wizardry on DOS PCs but nothing could compare to Zelda 3. It was an obsession. The world was expansive and the gameplay perfect. Everyone talked about it during lunch or before class. The secrets. Who could beat it without dying. It changed the face of gaming. Felt bad for Genesis owners who never got to play it...
With that being said though....Ocarina of Time is the better game. Yes I was 18 years old when it released and had already moved on to playing games on Windows 95/98 and the Playstation but OOT is still the best game ever made.
Excellent video - I really enjoyed this, thank you!
I started the video not knowing if I’d watch it entirely but hey! I did and it was great!! Thank you for this
It’s so interesting to learn more about this incredible series, it’s a very nostalgic game for me and my Mother used to love them. I’ll always think of her when I play now, miss you Mom ❤️
6:02 How could someone allow this advertisement to be made???
You're just jelly because they're so rad.
@@naisi I feel sorry for the kids in tv ad, that rap is pure cringe
@@The_Blue_Otaku They're just too rad for you.
@@The_Blue_Otaku you can't comprehend the sheer magnitude of their *_drip_*
Respect tha drip
I'd love to see a video of the history of pokemon especially seeing how well done this video was looking forward to your future pixels to polygons projects go
Did I just watch a video that was 40 minutes long, and I didn't get bored? Amazing work!
Well done! Informative and great pace. Subbed.
Twin Peaks & The Legend of Zelda. Two of my most favourite things ever together 💞
Man this is a really good video I really liked it.. keep up the good work 💯
How do you not have more subscribers?? Your content is so well done I can tell that you're going to blow up soon!
Dude, I'm just watching this now because I'm writing an essay for my degree on Nintendo. Damn what a great video, I was gonna skim through it because I only needed tidbits but I watched the whole thing. You got a sub.
This channel deserves way more subs and this vid deserves way more views
Sorry I’m late to the party but glad I made it eventually. Fantastic video, absolutely superb.
Looking forward to an update to this bridging the gap from Links awakening remake to BotW2. Not sure if it would be worth it though.
Great research and coverage, really well done.
Criminally underrated From Pixels to Polygons series you’ve got here. I’ve gained a lot of insight, and knowledge into some of my favor gaming franchises. Love the content 👍+1Sub
Keep on going man, this channel only has 4K SUBSCRIBERS. The video quality you should have millions bro.
Well the algorithm worked for me. This is quality content, I love learning about gaming history.
7:50 Correction: Shadow Link was in LoZ 2. He is different from Dark Link.
I actually never knew there was a distinction, but upon further investigation you're right. Thanks for letting me know, it brought me down a fun rabbit hole
You make damn good content. Keep at it, your channels gonna blow up bud.
Long time Zelda Fan - Really enjoyed this vid - Thanks!
The 2 Zelda games (where you play as her) and the Seteleview I never knew Existed. good job on the research...My god
This was great, so much fun to watch
Enjoyed your knowledge! TYVM!
That took a lot of work! Nicely done, man
This was a wonderful video. Great content
This was a great video, really interesting to watch
Great video and an amazing nostalgia hit. Ocarina of Time was the first game I ever owned. Honestly it was such a foundational experience in my life.
Very good quality video from someone with a low amount of subs. I’ll definitely look forward to the next one
Beautifully edited video, congratulations
Excellent work, keep it up!
that opening music. ahhhhh amazing
6:04 an legend was born
When I heard him talking about the satelleview Legend of Zelda games I thought, "Holy crap they really are covering EVERYTHING aren't they"
The only video game series I will always love! Even above Resident Evil. Had tears in my eyes this whole video. No joke.
This is a quality Zelda video! Thanks dude you got my sub :)
