That laughing Ganondorf face has absolutely limitless meme potential
agreed
Literally history in the making, that face will be recirculated for decades
Fr
I love the entire memory sequence, but did they have to make that face so meme able?😂
It's kinda cursed tho 😅
I like that in #8 the vibe I get is "Grandparents want desperately to meet the man capable enough to impress their granddaughter".
Dying. 😂
Rauru acts like the kind of father Zelda needed.
Dude; what are you smoking to think that? There is no vibe like that at all. Seriously get some observation skills cause there's no vibe like that.

@@SJGaming64 Takes one to know one
Not sure how to word this but Zelda really earned having her name on the title.
yeah I get what you mean. In some games like Twilight Princess, Majora's Mask, the Oracle Games, Links Awakening etc so she seems so disconnected from the story that it's hardly a legend about her. But this game was just as much about Zelda as it is Link
she really did. this game actually feels like the legend of zelda
She held back Calamity Ganon for an entire century. She definitely earned it
This, and AOC, and Spirit Tracks,
It's a great game for Link but yeah the legends are literally about her
There is a small detail here that I don't think many people have notice: In the memories fron the previous game, you can see Link walks always beside Zelda, keeping his distance and watching her back as an appointed knight would do. But in this game, whenever they walk they go together, side by side as equals. It shows just how much their relationship has changed. I love that.
Also the fact Zelda moved into Link's house. Bro really got promoted from a professional acquaintance to a possible love interest
@@Choco____1little known fact but link allways was a love interest in fact it’s confirmed in btow that she loves him “the princess love for her fallen knight awakens her power”
She walks ahead of him earlier in the early cutscene. They aren't equals though. She's born and raised royalty and Link is the knight tasked to protect her. He is still fulfilling his duties. Even the game developers says this is wjat link is doing. They also said in regards to love interest, just play the game and use your imagination. My imagination will never ship them in any game. Nothing in any game is proof of romantic love.
I personally ship them in this trilogy of games, and in skyward sword. I haven’t played many others, and the others I’ve played are wind waker, which I don’t ship them in because they are children (maybe a crush like kids have but not a full on ship), twilight princess, where I do like Link x Midna (a little, still so-so on it) and Ocarina of Time, where I don’t really have a ship for that either. But yeah opinions are still valid, and nothing should have to be taken in a romantic sense.
@@zephyr_winds5718 trilogy? Botw and it's sequel? There is no game after to make it a trilogy.
That "Protect them all!" Gives me goosebumps everytime. I know its just a game but just the thought of being in her shoes having to give up her own body to repair and strengthen the sword.
Also it’s a call back to Ganon’s “destroy them all” which I think comes from ALTTP. Can’t remember which game exactly but that’s a Ganon line for sure right as he transforms into his beast form. Really great callback and parallel.
I lost it at that scene. From the trailer and the cutscenes in the game, I 100% thought she was going to finish with, “find me.”
When it took that intense of a turn, oh my.
Then cue the tears as she transforms and cries herself.
You should play Xenoblade 3, there's another character that pulls a wild stunt that isn't really similar, but equally sacrificial 👀
But is she willing to break Link's heart and the promise he has made to the champions? Urbosa would not improve of this since she wanted Zelda to find her own happiness.
@@jpak8nah it's more socially acceptable to play totk
I love how right after failing his invasion Ganondorf is just like
"Ah man bro, my bad"
And then proceeds to go “well, sorry your kind has all been wiped out. Except for you and your sister.“
@@NaBu972"be a shame if someone killed yall"
@@a_person4742man made a youtube apology
“Bro, it was just a prank”
I love in memory #8 that Sonia and Rauru tease Zelda a bit with her talk about Link, like two parents wanting to meet their daughter's crush.
I love how rauru was like an over protective father
God bless you ✝️😇
I like how King Rauru and Queen Sonia's relationship are much similar to Link x Zelda... just like how the pair is a metaphor of the Silent Princess flower.
Is Rauru also a Cockold Like Link ?
@@Drannos99 No.
@@Drannos99We know you're one.
@@Drannos99 why lol
I think Rauru and Sonia are cute together for some reason Japanese couples in games and movies are cuter than US ones
Matthew Mercer did an phenomenal job portraying as Ganondorf. His new form is much like Demise. This is the best version of one the most iconic villains in gaming history!
Yeah, the new version of the Demon King is both in likeness of Demise and Ganondorf, but that's how they made Demise in the first place was tying him with Ganondorf by making him have fiery red hair like actually on fire and the traits are similar in totk with the long flowing glowing hair.
@@Da_TboneLife I hope we get see his backstory of what drove him in conquering Hyrule for future DlC. In addition, have Zelda as a playable character as we get to see more of her own adventures in the distant past.
@@a.jthomas6132 mabye that might come true.
@@Da_TboneLife Hopefully we finally get the Second Quest fans have been asking for since Skyward Sword has failed to delievered.
I thought he was awful. He sounds like Matt Mercer, not like Ganondorf. I couldn't stop hearing Leon S. Kennedy coming out Ganon's mouth. His Mummy Ganondorf voice was amazing though.
Rauru doesn't run away even when Zelda tells him he will die. He put his people before himself and did not hesitate to save everyone even at the cost of his own life. This made me realize how almost every world leader in our own world is unfit to rule. Rauru showed what a perfect king is
At the same time, world leaders today don't exactly have to risk their hide protecting their kingdom...
@Survivor of the Curse The point is that these world leaders send their own people to fight while running away to hide in a safe bunker, risking civilian lives who never wanted a war in the first place.
@@survivorofthecurse717 Can you truly call it protecting?
That's why it's a fantasy game.
More importantly it sets up Zelda learning that to save Hyrule in her time she will also have to sacrifice herself by becoming a dragon. It's quite poetic.
One of the moments I found super neat was when you get to the bottom of Hyrule castle, Zelda's torch is on the ground. Thought that was a nice touch.
Wow. I didn’t notice till you mentioned it. 👍
lol i didn't notice
39:24 This part was so awesome. Not knowing who Link is, Ganondorf is destined to be defeated by him and then the music plays in the background. So powerful.
I was thinking the same thing!!! That part is so iconic
@@vayneeffortzelda main theme?
@@vayneeffort"Remember his name" is the name
@@rito6491 thanks, you saved my day ! :D
@@vayneeffort Glad to help :)
Memory 14 is when I knew this game would be my favorite game. BotW was so much telling, no showing of events I feel. Up to this point, we've only heard of the events by word of mouth (4 times) so to finally be able to see the Imprisioning happen, along with finding out how Ganondorf knows Links names absolutely blew my mind.
The music alone makes it my favorite cutscene.
“Remember this name.”
Cue main theme.
Plus Rauru’s strike right through Ganondorf’s heart with the green light exploding in the background. Ugh. They went all out and I think they knew they were gonna get lots of tears.
@@JacobBush16 yes, 1000% everything about it was AMAZING
@@JacobBush16 The music in TOTK is amazing. Memories 14, 17 and 18 music hit soooo hard, especially in combination with the voice acting and knowing the context of it all 😭
I haven’t finished the game yet but with the memories and Zelda going through time it’s kind of interesting that this game truly is The Legend of Zelda.
The Legend of Zelda: A Zelda to the Past
@@GyrateMeHoeFR
@@GyrateMeHoe The Legend of Zelda, a Zelda in Legend
if you didnt get the master sword yet.... then
1) make sure you get all your towes activated then
2) scout those geoglyphs to activate the memories
without saying too much, the sword is EZ peezy to get... without giving away to much plot, you dont even have to hunt or do any quests just have your towers unlocked so you can jump onto where the sword will be.
@@ericolens3 as someone who got the master sword today I highly recommend getting stamina from either the shrines which makes it easier or a bunch of stamina potions to reach the dragon as you won’t know where it is as it’s around the map randomly.
I thought that Ganondorf knew Link and Zelda's names because he fought them generations ago. I thought that they imprisoned him. But when I found out that Rauru told him to remember Link's name when they hadn't even met, I was so shocked. Also Sonia's death made me wanna cry I was scared shitless
In Zelda Games The KING Usually Dies But Its The Queen Who Died This Time
can I say one thing that bothered me about her death?
it's never stated she had a child so how does zelda still exist if she died?
nah i was just terrified of ganondorfs face
@@Brentonius_IIImaybe someone from sonia's family took leadership since i don't think a zonai and a hylian can have a baby
@@afriendlycampfire260 I think they can because they both acknowledge a blood relation to zelda
As soon as I saw the light dragon ( I didn’t get all the memories) I was just like “this thing is Zelda” and I got it right somehow
I thought that too but didn’t want to believe it. She’s just floating in the sky for eternity now. Pretty sad. The master sword breaking was really for gameplay reasons so we wouldn’t have access to it early on. Kinda wish they would’ve gone a different route
My reaction as well as I got the Master Sword before I got all the geoglyphs and was saying " This has to be Zelda" as the blonde mane and blue color gave it away but at the same time I thought "maybe it was a creation of Zelda's" until I found all the geoglyph memories.
I never saw the dragon until the final geoglyph so i was like "god dayum were you always here?"
@@thedarkknight4803 Someone hasn't finished the game yet
Its embarassing how many things flew over my head.
I didnt rven make the slight resemblance with Zelda, and when I got on her head, I didnt even notice the sword.
My biggest takeaway is that this game is Zelda's story more than anyone else's. She gets to catch up on her childhood by spending time with surrogate parents who show her empathy, kindness, and love. She learns more about how to use her powers from said parents and rejects the royal family complex of her time (which placed an unfair amount of pressure on her, backfiring horribly and leading to the Calamity) in favor of the old indigenous Hyrule in which she finds herself. Said surrogate parents also never try to force her into "fulfilling her duties" the way her father did. By the end of the memories, she makes a daring decision not out of sense of obligation but rather of her own volition and her love for both Hyrule and Link. She ends up setting in motion the pieces that will undo Ganondorf and end up authoring the prophecy of Link being a savior on her own. She writes her own legend on the literal in-game mural. I've liked past incarnations of the character, but this one is the first Zelda I've truly LOVED.
If there's a follow-up to this game, I don't expect Zelda to be playable, but I won't mind that as long as it provides even more development for her the way BOTW and TOTK did. There are some loose ends this game sets up that could be expanded on, especially considering that the ending feels open-ended enough for a sequel. For example, we only got a sampling of her learning to master her time and light powers in this game; that seems like the sort of thing that would come into play later on down the line. Like, maybe she would end up unleashing them on whatever the hypothetical next game's final boss turns out to be.
its always been about zelda it's her legend after all
she is one of the original strong female characters we are the avatar (link) to fulfill the goddess hylia's will
ye that's why it's the legend of ZELDA and not legend of link
@@maurinhos even though Link did most of the work
@@godricktheminecrafted3113 basically 😅
You know Zelda sang Link's praises if Rauru, never even meeting the guy, decided that if Link is the one destined to beat Ganondorf, then so be it, he will sacrifice himself to that end without doubt in his mind.
I would not say Link is destined to defeat Ganondorf. But rather Rauru’s only hope is to rely on Zelda’s hero/lover since the Master Sword is capable of defeating the Demon King by absorbing sacred power to make the blade stronger.
@@a.jthomas6132 Well, it pretty much is if you consider that through out the series only Link ( the reincarnations of the spirit of the hero) has ever defeated Ganondorf. And if the Master Sword is the weapon to defeat him, well Link is its sole owner, so there's really no way around it.
The reveal that Zelda possess both Light and Time powers with more strength in Time powers is insane cause it not only explains why her Light powers were weak in BOTW but also explains how she could travel back in time in AOC (but I haven't actually played that yet)
It makes alot of sense on how Terrako manage to travel back in time to create a split reality than the original.
39:26 Bro when I saw this in game, I actually started to tear up a bit. The music got me good
I was sobbing when zelda had to take the dragon cyanide pill 😭 😭
3:17 after you see memory 14 you can understand Ganondorf dissapointment, like "Rauru was really hyping this 10,000 years ago"
It's actually way more than just 10000 years.
44:03 ngl hearing these notes brought a little dragon tear to my eyes. This theme will always give me chills
Wonder what memory it holds
Ganon's horse at 28:39 HAS to be used somewhere else. There's just no way they've got this badass design modelled, rigged and animated only to be used during 3 seconds of a cutscene
you can get the horse in game
@@vader2312no thats a different horse i believe, thats the giant horse
@@vader2312 well yeah, kinda, I had him since BotW, but Ganon's has a badass saddle
@@TidoTheThirdwell I think the horse in the cutscenes and the horse in game are the same horses just the one in the cutscene is transformed like Ganon
You can transfer ganon horse from breath of the wild
That first cutscene made me realise link leaves his sword at korok forest every time hes done with it, meaning if trouble arises, he has to run all the way there to go get it
I think every link does that.
I remember in the ending of A Link to The Past the Master Sword is also put back in the Lost Woods.
Memory 14 had the absolute most fanservice-y moment in the franchise up to this point, and it was done excellently.
So glad we got to finally see the battle with Ganondorf in the distant past. The only time I really got annoyed at the cutscenes in this game was how each dungeon had the same dialogue with the past sages (especially since I did Gerudo last and was hoping beyond hope there would be something different there, given it’s history with Ganondorf).
But then again, maybe that made me appreciate memory 14 even more. After all that build up about The Imprisoning War with few details, we finally got to see it in all its epic fashion.
And the main theme kicking in with, “remember this name.” Just perfection.
they kinda have to have similar cutscenes at each dungeon tho since you can choose which one to go to first
@@bradyybeats8642I know why, it’s just an unfortunate part of an open world game.
I was really hoping for something extra from the Gerudo though.
@@bradyybeats8642It's truly the downside to having a fleshed out game like that. If it wasn't so blatantly obvious Zelda was in the past, and it was originally alluded that the Sage of Time in these memories was a future descendant of Zelda before being revealed that it 'is' Zelda, it would've made the Light Dragon reveal that much more impactful.
@@JacobBush16same
Dang, seeing Link lose all those hearts will never not be heartbreaking 😭 (edit: including Zelda's and Rauru's sacrifice.)
Also this feels like a movie ngl
I like how the first memory accounts for the fact that players may not have ever used the master sword in botw. It’s canon that link has drawn the sword initially before the calamity no matter what, but him having the sword post botw works now after this included scene.
Either that or the sword ran out of energy once more between BOTW and TOTK and Link put it in care of the Deku Tree so it can heal back again
@@Nini_Vieira The Master Sword recharges it's energy itself. It doesn't need to be brought back to the Deku Tree
@@ChristianSonicTheHedgehog When it broke in BotW it had to be put in the forest, who says that couldn't have happened again?
I like how that scene sets up Zelda's draconification later on, but it has me a bit worried that the next game will also have the Master Sword break. The weapon durability system really made the sword feel obsolete at times, so while I don't mind the system in these two games, I hope they do something different moving forward.
The way in which memory #14's music had me standing up instantly and screaming is insane. I heard the first few beats of it and just wow. THIS GAME
46:27 I like how in this shot you can map out what the old Great Plateau looked like. The new(old?) temple of time is where the old(new?) temple of time is currently. The old hyrule castle is on the cliffs above the shrine of resurrection. You can see a bit of it in the top left corner
In memory 7, the two gerudo flanking ganondorf could be koume and kotake. Even their clothing colors are blueish and reddish respectively
Edit: I also noticed that they're probably the two figures immediately behind him in memory 6, though their skirt things or whatever you call them are hidden from view. I also can't tell if they're wearing masks or face paint. Two gerudo voices are heard later on after the molduga are killed. Could these belong to kotake and koume?
The Hylian writing on their shoulder sashes spell Koume and Kotake, just like their hairbands in OoT did.
@@KisiroKitsune no way!!! this is so cool
The writing on his blade and spear that you get off his shadows have those kanjis
The green skin is a giveaway. As far as I can remember, they are the only other Gerudo aside from Ganondorf that has green skin.
Also ganondorf’s katana spell koume and kotake
20:51 In this memory, Sonia and Rauru is interested in meeting Link as Zelda speaks highly of him (since I can tell she’s blushing on the Hero of Hyrule and how much she admires his dedication).
It may sounded crazy but I feel her ancestors are the kind of parents Zelda needed since her father King Rhoam is always cold towards his own daughter, as well as forbidding her from being A scholar and calls her as "nothing but failure"
They would have accepted Link as her boyfriend since the pair do lived together in his childhood home in present day Hateno Village with two seats on the table. Thus, started to educate children as she saw herself through them.
Nintendo needs to stop given us hints and suggestions. Zelink needs to be canon since Breath of the Wild and Skyward sword. I hope we it for future DLC.
Honestly I don't like that idea. Link is a character who is the connection between the world and the player. That's why he even got his name "Link" and this is the reason why you can give him a different name in some other Zelda games. And I don't think that they make Link fall in love or something like that, and this is good because it is up to the player's imagination.
I just want them to have a Happy Ending
Happy ending or not, link to player or not, I will not accept the name zelink as a ship name
Linda or go home
@@invincitank No... no no no
lurelins village confrims it or hints at them dating
3:11
"All that for a drop of blood."
I said that in my head once I saw that scene! I half expected him to actually say the line
#8 was so cute. I felt Zelda speak so affectionate towards the topic of Link. Subtle hints that I feel strongly suggesting she has romantic feelings for him, but keeps distance as he is a Knight who is appointed to protect Zelda.
But they both totally deserve eachother. 😭
In btow it’s confirmed that Zelda loves link by kass he states that Zelda rejected a dude that loved her because “she only had eyes for her appointed knight” he also sings a song that states “the princess love for her fallen knight awakens her power” so it’s cannon that she loves link
@@wiskerfall4519 I had a feeling it's canon. Thats so cute 😭 they deserve eachother.
I wasn't actively geoglyph hunting until after Sonia's assassination, I just had to know what happened next. The way my stomach *dropped* when I got a clue of what had happened to Zelda, and how much I cried when my suspicions was confirmed at the akala swirl... Absolutely stunning storytelling.
I find it crazy how closely Ganondorf now looks to Demise.
More like it makes sense? I mean it's the first proper Ganondorf we've seen (in the mainline games) since Demise and the reveal of why Ganon appears time and time again . I mean Ganondorf here is called the Demon King, title he only has now that we know he comes from Demise the Demon King
@@polopuik9198 wasn't Ganon also called that in past games?
@@lilo7770 As far as I'm concerned, he has many titles but the Demon King one, specially as a surname when you battle him I only saw it in in Hyrule Warriors and Tears of kingdom, games that were released after skyward sword
The game is showing me Rauru vs. Ganondorf, but all I can hear is Dimitri vs. Chrom
I noticed that as well. Does rauru have the same VA as dmitri???
@@yoboiboy4182 yup, Chris Hackney. Now you can never unhear it. Sonia's VA is Cherami Leigh, voice of Lady Rhea as well
The legend of fire emblem fachlon to the past
Dimitri and Rhea have Rank S support in this game 😂
The sheer courage it must have taken her…
Her final, desperate cry... 😢
Fi’s theme in Memory 15 🥰
Yes! I find musical easter eggs in the memories all the time. Hearing Fi's theme in BotW also got me excited.
I think we need a story DLC campaign that takes place during this past era
I absolutely love your idea and I'm all for it
and perhaps Master mode with an update.
Yes yes yes
Definitely!
@@CherryEclipse yeah, the DLC that I think would be needed, especially to understand the law would be an ancient hero dlc, and an ancient sage DLC, as far as story goes. I would also like to see perhaps a Hyrule restoration DLC
"Remember his name." Chills. Chills.
They definitely made Ganondorf’s laughing face like that for the memes 💀
It’s implied that Zelda has command over both Light and Time because she is a descendant of Rauru and Sonia. So they must’ve had a child that we didn’t meet in this game, right? Otherwise how would the lineage carry on? DLC, anyone? Or maybe the next game in the series…
I wish we knew Ganondorf’s motivation in the game, other than him being power hungry. In a previous game he was envious that Hyrule was founded on green, productive lands whereas his people were secluded to the desert. That made him compelling. This version… not so much. It would also have been cool to see more of his time with the Gerudo and what led to the Sage of Thunder breaking away from the group.
I also wish Nintendo had come up with a better name than “secret stones.” It’s super generic. Even “sacred stones” would’ve been better, but there may have been some conflict over that moniker with the creator of Fire Emblem.
Speaking of the stones, Rauru and Sonia had theirs as early as their first appearance. In the scene with the sages where Rauru grants them their stones, there are 6 locked away. Plus Zelda seemed to have duplicated Rauru’s in the jump through time. So there’s 8 total? Kinda like the 8 pieces of the triforce scattered about Hyrule in the original Legend of Zelda… that’s interesting.
I really enjoyed Sonia’s voice actor. As well as Ganondorf’s.
I wonder if Din, Nayru, and Farore were Zonai. Ganondorf says the Zonai were regarded as descendants of Gods. Ocarina of Time describes them as 3 golden goddess. They appear renamed as dragons in Breath of the Wild/ Tears. Hmm…
The people of Hyrule are referred to as Hylians throughout Breath of the Wild. Evidenced by items like the Hylian Shield. Yet in the founding days of Hyrule, the memory where Ganondorf is brought before the King, he refers to Sonia as a “Hyrulean bride.” So according to this story, does Hylia make an appearance between Rauru and Sonia’s age, and before the events of Breath of the Wild?
I’m not necessarily looking for answers. I just needed to voice my thoughts.
Ganondorfs motivation was maybe to simply try taking over and destroying hyrule. In memory 11 he strait up says destroy hyrule. Why is there no reason you may ask? Cause I would like to think this was demises first attempt and causing destruction to hyrule. As time went on the reincarnations or demise and the evil that came with it had reason for their actions.
Havent played the game. Spoilers never steer me away actually wants me to play it more to experience it myself. Glad to see we learn how ganadorf gets the tear. Then uses it to make the blood moon
The Molduga theme remix on memory 6 was actually a bop
23:43 What is this face? Took me off guard the first time I saw it.
I get it now! These are not Link's memories, these are Zelda's memories that you collect!!
I wish we have memories of Link and Zelda spending their time together since she loves him in Breath of the Wild.
@@a.jthomas6132 Or DLC with bonus memories of Ganondorf's past
I love the implication that there’s a random goat/hylian kid running about somewhere but never named or mentioned 😂 Especially since it seems like there wasn’t one in the first past memory.
If this was an actual film I’d watch it
Same
Dude, if they can successfully make a Mario movie, they can probably make a Zelda one as well.
@@Farkathon best part is, the people who work on Zelda said that they were interested by the idea of it
I think in Memory 9 Gannondorf actually did Punch Sonia so hard that he killed her. The way the right side of his body is positioned seemed more like a martial arts stance than a weapon weilding stance.
i always thought it was implied he used the blade, since the geoglyph is of the blade itself
“You really have made up your mind”
Commercial starts playing “buttery seasoning-
Ok but if Ganondorf's horse in Memory 11 isn't available somehow I am going to cry
It is literally one of the most badass moments in the game I hope so as well
@@Beefan680didn't we found its defendant in botw in a side quest?
You can get Ganondorf horse if you know
@@kostakonomi yes we did but this horse kinda looks different
@@choiliao073 yes but this one looks a bit different
In a weird way this part of the story almost feels like a twist on Ocarina of Time that ends with Link failing. In that ending which I believe leads to Twilight Princess the Sages had to seal Ganondorf. It cool how they are sorta refitting existing timeline beats to fit the BOTW continuity.
No, Twilight Princess is on the child Link timeline
Link failing happened during OoT in Ganon's castle in the future. You got the wrong timeline split.
@@firionkaiser8291Granted, it's super confusing to begin with regardless of getting the right timeline
Its crazy how everything is so intwined. Like how see you certain parts of other games in botw or totk.
ehh not really; lore jacked up, but it's nintendo's toy and they are allowed to break it if the want
@@beezusHrist The lore isn't really jacked up though
@firionkaiser8291 it is though. Tears of the kingdom puts the past events that Zelda Traveled to even further beyond the timeline than Skyward Sword, and evidence of this is that the Ancient Hylians look primitive in that they have long ears and dark skin while Zelda, a modern Hylian, does not and neither do the Hylians in Skyward Sword, but somehow Rauru knew about the Sword that Seals darkness even though this is before it was created. The lore is JACKED UP
This is just one example, and I can keep going on and on and on. Also, since Zonai and Hylians can apparently mate, can Goron and Hylians? Zora and Hylians? Rito and Hylians? The story ALSO was not well thought out... like at all. It's almost laughable that they had 6 years and this is what they came up with, almost...
@@beezusHristwell everything you said is completely wrong considering Zelda DID NOT travel before skyward sword. I don’t even know where you got that from. They literally said it’s just a time more ancient than the Shekah tech era of botw. Don’t tell me “but hyrule was being created” either bc hyrule has already been “recreated” multiple times. Spirit tracks being one example
@@beezusHrist it's not that deep. they already said BOTW/TOTK happen so far after any of the timeline's latest point, and so further past that, that ANY of the timelines could result in the eventually that is the new Rauru Hyrule > BOTW > TOTK Hyrules. It doesn't make sense that she went back before SS because... she didnt... and they have already stated this. Its a reboot. This is why the Rock Salt mentions the Great Sea from WW. This is why the ruins of the arena where the Mirror of Twilight is findable. This is why Lynels exist. All timelines converge to this eventuality. You dont need to be doing so much. just enjoy it
"That laughing Ganondorf face has absolutely limitless meme potential" 23:40
Why is no one talking about how sick memory 14 is
Fr goosebumps everytime
*remember this name*
“i look forward to meeting him”
REMEMBER HIS NAME.
rauru is a badass in this game
23:42 - Ganondorf’s smile almost evokes memories of Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin…
I wish we heard more of the original zelda music during this game, I was kinda sad to never hear it up until memory 14, then I cried a little
Yo is anyone gonna talk about memory 10, I loved the detail at the end where Zelda uses the purdah pad to teleport them away.
*walks up to Deku tree.
Tree: Sup my homies
Zelda: You
This is 47 minutes of sheer brilliance. Tell me another short film that’s this gripping!!!
44:02 If you put atention you can hear some notes of Fi's Theme
I already unlocked all memories and got all main quests stuff. I just need to eliminate Ganonchad but chose not to, I want to grind more stuff
Yeah me too, i guess after finishing the whole story i won't enjoy it as much as before
How do you get the memories that aren't from the quest, also Zelda turning into a dragon destroyed my heart
Nobody asked bro
I thought that you fight ganon after the 4 dungeons, so I went and fought him early withou realisi g

I really wanted to know where memory #8 takes place (it looks like such a pretty spot) and after a quick look in-game I'm almost positive it's on the shore of Lake Kolomo. The area is more heavily forested in the cutscene but the shape of the land in the midground and Dueling Peaks in the background makes me sure its the north side of Lake Kolomo looking onto the other side of the lake where the Garrison Ruins are in modern Hyrule. The area is nowhere near as pretty in modern Hyrule and has no ruins of the gazebo, (but there is a korok on the island) but i think its super cool I was able to find it!
It's the trees which give it away for me
Ganadorf kneeling reminds me of Ganon knelling in orcrana of time
I feel like emphasis on the idea that turning into an immortal dragon keeps them conscious, but compelled to follow their most basic instinct/desire would have made Zelda’s sacrifice all the more tragic and ganondorf’s transformation more horrifying. Knowing what she did is sad, but knowing that she was basically unconscious and napping that whole time kinda undercuts the tragic nature of the sacrifice for me.
Also is there any lore about the other dragons and that imply they also used to be people who turned into dragons?
Super late but every now and then I come back to watch the story but anyways the 3 dragons have manes that are similar to Zonai hair meaning that these dragons could be Zonai. Even though before TOTK each of the dragons color and spring they guarded represented a different creation goddess so it could have been the goddesses or it could have been Zonai who were close to the goddesses
23:42 Me when I got totk one day early
From the beginning we thought we have to find her...but she ment we have to find the dragon (her). And the tear drops were hers...memories 10.000 years ago. So technically she was dead right after the falling in the start 😭
39:59 does anyone know what the name in the soundtrack for this is? That singing is so haunting but I love it
I gotchu

i love that memory 7 is giving off thebsame vibe as ocarina of time with ganondorf pretending to pledge to the king
How much you wanna bet every male Gerudo born after Ganondorf was killed shortly after birth
I started collecting the memories and realized I had gotten like 3 7 12 so I decided to get them all, skip the scenes, and come watch it all in order as if it were a movie.
I usually don’t watch any cut scenes in any games, but this is the first game making my yearn to learn the entire timeline.
In memory 15 you can subtly hear fi’s farewell Im crying 😭
49:18 made me cry realizing this whole time we were looking for a Zelda, and I pulled the freaking sword out of her head without noticing
Btw 47:53 botw music made me so happy
49:24 blue eyed mfs waiting for you to compliment them:
49:25
I love how her last words before she turned into a dragon was ‘link, protect them all’ showing how much she cared for hyrule even if that ment ending her bloodline
I find myself often zoning out about how id hoodwink OoT's Link into the past Zelda travelled to, Zelda's title became the Sage of Time so I see Young Link using the Ocarina of Time to travel to the era of the Imprisoning War by accident like Zelda did having both the Sage and Hero of Time working together for a time, how'd he be able to interact with other species having the Mask Transformations, standing guard over Zelda like her Link does but being foot shorter but the experience from when he was an adult, even when the Sages go to confront Ganondorf OoT Link see him powered up and has his own weapons decayed in the battle forcing him to uses Link's own powered up form being the Fierce Deity challenging him until Rauru can seal him, the Master Sword being sent to the past and Young Link seeing it in such a state and how when Zelda says she'll become the Light Dragon to repair it Young Link could make a plan to use the Fierce Deity's form to wait out the years turning more savage with each year because of the Mask's Effects but knowing he would stay immortal until the Hero of the Wild could defeat him to have a released Young Link use the Song of Healing to return Zelda back to her normal form along with giving her the Dragon Transformation mask to transform at any time. Heck OoT Zelda could show up in the present time guiding Totk's Link as Sheik to the Fierce Deity who has a boss fight similar to Majora's Mask's final boss with the new Sages fight Link's Transformations as the Fierce Deity takes on our own playable Link, It may be silly and filled with holes but I like zoning out to it(one big hole I see if whether the Dragon Transformation counts as a Curse or a Blessing, because in Twilight Princess OoT Link as the Hero's Shade's first song he used on TP Link was the Song of Healing because he saw it wasn't his original form and knew what to do out of instinct, but the Wolf Transformation counted as a blessing as the Twili referred to it as a Divine Beast so the song didn't do anything)
The voice acting and voice direction is much better than it was in botw.
Aside from Yunobo, should have kept the childlike voice from the jp version
This is a kickass story on it's own. I like how LoZ became so Anime. But in the context of other games an even just BotW it just leaves so many plotholes. Like, did Rauru and Sonia habe kids? We don't see any, yet Zelda is supposed to descend from them. Also, a huge giant immortal dragon flying around with another Master Sword in it's head flying around for a couple millenia certainly wouldn't go unnoticed.
they do hache children, they are just not mentionned or present. You can't have descendant without children. All of the champions have children.
@@CutieMoli Them not being mentioned or portrayed is what's called a plothole.
@@andyl7677 it's not a plothole, they're just not the focus. They exist since they hav descendant, that's proof
@@CutieMoli Yeah i dont think they issued birth certificates then
@@andyl7677 I think the big plot hole is more of how does this take place with Hyrules first king when skyward sword ending was Link Zelda groose and Zelda’s father started the kingdom of hyrule when the moved to the surface at the end of the game unless this game just retcons that games story
I haven’t sobbed like this in so long….
7:28 looks like shes standing where you walk out of from the shrine of resurrection.
NVM IT IS
Oh, I also saw that. I was like: Hmmmmm BotW reff
I just finished collecting the dragon tears earlier, and I certainly watched them in the wrong order, so it's cool I can watch them here in order since I never really felt anything while watching them until I watched them in order
12:30 as Mineru starts talking about the consequences of dragonification, the music picks up that somber violin sound that plays around the other 3 dragons. I I don't think there's any doubt that, at very least, Mineru is aware that those 3 dragons used to be zonai. And I can't believe that she would know and Rarau wouldn't
23:42 Th-that face! What is that?!
i think it's a bug lol
@@kaitoOgoat nah it’s not but it’s creepy
39:19 onward hit me like a truck. The song that plays when the name is said, sent a tingling shiver through my whole spine and cried a little. Legendary.
I love the little detail at 14:55 that Zeldas light aura is more massive than Sonia. Its litterally radiating off of her and it catches them both off guard.
Ganondorf was pretty smart. He probably wouldn't have one shot Sonia if it wasn't for that stealth strike.
In memory #14, during 37:13, the music starts off distorted, with low piano keys and notes signifying the severe struggle and tide of battle favoring Ganon.
However, when the scene transitions to Rauru’s pov at 37:26, the music becomes normal with regular piano and zonai keys and notes.
Despite it seeming as if Ganon is the inevitable victor, Rauru knew that with Zelda traveling back in time and their talk prior to the battle, there was still hope in the long term with Link in the far future and committed himself to ensure that Link would be the one to defeat him in the end.
I don't know why but the memories make recall looks so cool
26:58 look at Rauru’s *teeth*
Goat man aint a herbivore
Edit: 49:33 *OH MY GOD* EVERYONE!! PUT HEADPHONES ON AND LISTEN CLOSELY!! YOU CAN HEAR ZELDA *SCREAMING* IN HER SECOND ROAR
Holy
@@InredibleFart I KNOOOWWWWWWWW D:
I love the way that when we first saw the trailers we thought that Hyrule castle would be extremely high up yet in the game it’s just like a couple hundred feet off the ground (I don’t have a good perception of height)
Great video my man
Thx
all of the scenes where it goes silent and then sm badass happens are just my favorite (like when ganon enters phase two in the final fight)
memory 13 was the second memory me and my brother got after getting the one where zelda arrives in the past so it was really funny how the game went from introducing sonia to immediately showing her dead and buried
8:52 Why is no one talking about Rauru literally begins scratching himself in the background, most respectful grindset of any character in this game
I imagine rauru being that princy type with the ego that Sonia just kinda got rid of when she married him. He would be used to being inside and so he'd be like: "did a bug just bite me?" *scratch scratch*
25:19 you can see the shock on Zelda’s face because she realized that the thing they encountered underground in the beginning of the game was Ganon dorf
This should be an animated series
wow this zelda has been through so much, from holding back calamity ganon at the price of losing her friends and family for 1 whole century to having to be brought back in time to rebuild the master sword as a dragon for 100,000 years
seeing what becomes of zelda makes me tear up every time.
Watching this so I don't have to agonize over getting the Geoglyphs in order, I can now just enjoy progressing and exploring at my own pace 👍
