Question though. Why didn't they aged during the time when great deku tree dies. And deku tree jr. was born 7 years later so why didnt the kids aged 7 years during the span of deku tree death

Love this, I liked how you brought up the point that Marika and her family was not always broken. Miquella was once the one whom offered sleep and a lullaby to the Merchants trapped in Catacomb beneath Leyndel. He once had noble ambitions and a love for his siblings, and he like Marika destroyed himself in the persuit of power and imposing his own will on the world.

Subject: Delta is my favorite character in Bioshock, he's both imitating and awesome at the same time.

that or rename the Zelda games to Adventure of Link as base title instead. Legend of Zelda is just stupid.

I'm more then a year late but I'm still glad i found this. This is very impresive both from the analisys side of things as well as the execution itself. I've heard multiple times that one of the reasons that this game is not as good as its predecessor is because it did not have a big plot twist in the end. But does it to have to be there for the story to be good? It is hard to top what happend in Bioshock 1 but this game is not worse because of it. You did an awesome job on disscusing the political stucture and the moral principles of the game. Also you made me realize that I knew almost nothing and that I had a lot more to learn before I would hit the bottom of the sea. This is the first video of yours I'm watching and I wannt to say that you have done a great work.

Marika so quirky! Great video

Great video!

You can tell Kenny didn't work on the sequel at all, because it came out in a timely fashion.

Great video

were gonna be at a point where we dont even know what constitutes a Zelda game and im just way too tired to even be there for that conversation

For me the very open approach destroyed a lot of game. It forced the designers so have almost everything accessible from the beginning, which makes every puzzle "same but different" - which is boring as hell. Also it feels a lot like filler content. I disliked it in BotW the unnecessary long travel ways with much hated slippery terrain, but okay exploration on the way. TotK made it more worse, where even traveling felled like doing a chore. The linear path (with a little wiggle room for sidequests) was perfect in my opinion. I don't care if it is open world, but it should have a path, like most older Zelda games had

I don't agree, I love the unprecedented freedom of TOTK but I respect your opinion

I disagree, not happy about this. Sorry. Have fun swinging your magic rods of wisdom.

Tbh, I would like to see the full series remade, at least those that still were not, for example the original loz, the oracle series, and minish cap. Those games made this link awakening new style. Idk, perhaps my wild dreams

Another thing I want to point out is how unreasonably difficult “timeline theorists” want to make of the cesspool of a chronology. To me, there’s only one canon timeline. The others are either expanded or just separate from the existing timeline altogether. Period. But Zelda purists take the series for granted and decided to make the chronology more complicated than what it already is. I DON’T WANT to associate Twilight Princess with the Era of the Wilds, I don’t believe the Hero of Time failed, I don’t associate the chronology with the idea of “converging” realities back into one… Everything from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have NOTHING to do with existing chronology. But now you have people saying that Echoes of Wisdom has ties with the Zonai. Like didn’t we just come to terms that the Zonai were awkwardly and uninterestingly placed as far back as into the “era of Hyrule’s founding”? There’s just so much that doesn’t add up and make any sense. Just keep the realities and continuities separate from each other… End of story. Logic is done. No point for more complexity.

Before I give my take on Echoes of Wisdom, let me first consider the situation regarding the series future direction. Long story short, everybody both old and new to the franchise want the series to maintain the open air formula of the Era of the Wilds titles and combine it with the 3D Metroidvania structure format that past Zeldas have been renowned for. This move will have definitely guarantee The Legend of Zelda’s success as a stapled franchise for the narrative-driven action adventure genre. However! Nintendo wants restrictions completely out the window… and fans are not pleased with it. Until the next 3D Zelda, I’m quite certain Echoes will tie people over given that this is the first mainline Zelda game where the titular princess is playable. However! Prior to the announcement of Echoes and since the launch of Princess Peach: Showtime, people were already devising ideas about Zelda getting the same love and attention. A fully fleshed-out magic-wielding princess everyone came to know and love in Super Smash Bros. (More specifically, her Ultimate incarnation, given that her playability in past Smash has been debatable…) Then, the game gets announced and Nintendo seems to be taking the same approach and transition between Super Princess Peach and Princess Peach: Showtime. First vanilla, then the toppings. And given it took Nintendo THIS long to give Peach her first standalone entry in almost 20 years, it’s going to be that long just for Peach’s Hyrulean counterpart to get her the “topping” approach… While I’m still hopeful that we might get such a Zelda spinoff, but it’s the amount of time that gets in the way… I’m not holding against Echoes at all, but the fact of Nintendo playing too safe… they’re just repeating the past. Look how Kirby Star Allies got backlash prior to the updates. Yoshi’s Crafted World not being Woolly World, Donkey Kong not given a fresh new entry in 10 years, vanilla versions of classics in NSO despite superior versions out there… The list goes on. And they don’t care. They want your money, but at the same time they don’t. Why this constant hypocrisy?

Nintendo does love experimenting on their games. And Zelda was no exception, but each game still felt like a Zelda game. BotW was the first Zelda I played that didn't feel like a Zelda game. The last traditional Zelda game was Skyward sword in 2011. The fact that BotW was so successful along with both the devs saying they want to move to this new formula and Nintendo's tendency to abandon old concepts has lots of old fans concerned. I wouldn't be bothered if the new games went a new direction so long as a smaller team could still produce the older style games along side them. Sort of like what happened in the early days when we got main lines series on the consoles and older 2D games on the handhelds. I'll refrain from judging Echos till it comes out but I can't say I am very excited about the direction the series is heading.

The algorithm recommended this video, and I must say that I liked it a lot. You covered a topic with depth, but it was still concise. I'm subscribed now :)

totk had no business being a zelda game. it was an amazing game, but if it werent a zelda game it would have been much better. i'm excited to play a classic zelda world from a different perspective. zelda has needed to be a playable character in a normal zelda game for a long time

there are plenty character unexploited in this franchise, a whole seika game would be awesome for example

sorry but f y'all totk is perfect. I m not saying the open world formula is better I like hem both but saying that the new formula is bad, is just being a hater

You really couldn't find any other Zelda picture for your thumbnail than an AI one?

Echoes of wisdom is yet another stroke of genius. I’ll be honest, in a world full of talent (so many great studios out there) the Zelda team is the one that is ahead of the curve. Botw and totk prove that. Now we can’t wait for EoW!

I still don't get why they changed the name of Malice.

That's one creepy-looking ai image in the thumbnail, wow. 😅

They always make the Female Character less Combat Focused... in a Game where they have to FIGHT Monsters... Yeah just give Zelda a Stupid Wand and call her Harry Potter, let her make Duplicates of Useless Items, Terrain, and Enemies to fight for her or to Traverse the World. Let's try the Overlord gimmick but Zelda doesn't actually Fight. But why even give her a Sword, and Training in Previous Games in the Franchise to begin with if she's Actually Not going to Use any of it? There is no Fruition of her Supposed "Combat Training" because we never see her actually Fighting. This is what I will call "The Princess Peach Effect" or the Classic Damsel in Distress Trope. Despite having an Army at her Disposal, Princess Peach and Zelda don't utilize this Advantage to the Fullest. Despite that Zelda Seemingly has Combat Training because Royalty has to Resort to Fighting if Fleeing isn't an Option, but we see Zelda just Give up and not actually do anything of Substance regarding Combat. This make Princess Peach and Zelda Weak, especially Zelda who's Universe is Filled with Monsters and Combat is Essential but she's given a Wand instead of some Mystical and Magical Legendary Sword that has been passed down the Hyrule Royal Family for Generations. Nah Nintendo just wants to make Zelda into Princess Peach. Naive, Stupid, Unfit to Fight, has some Magical Wand or a Parasol, no Actual Combat Experience, way too Nice (same as being Naive) and trusts that Nothing will happen, and Nintendo will just make the Game so easy that a Toddler could beat it, aside from some Puzzle Elements. Basically Zelda herself is just Dumbed Down and given the "Super Princess Peach Treatment". Like seriously? Where is a Serious Zelda Game where Zelda is the Hero and she uses a Sword, Shield, and various Items and Tools to explore her Kingdom and some other Regions that she only heard of but doesn't actually know anything about? I think that we need a 3D Zelda Game like Twilight Princess with DIFFERENT Graphics instead of the Stupid Cartoony Cell Shaded look. Hell my Sister can't Enjoy Zelda Games anymore because she can't deal with those Stupid Wind Waker Graphics without the risk of getting a Headache or having an Epileptic Seizure! And I know that there are People out there who Suffer the Same Way, so basically Nintendo is telling people like these to Fuck Off. These People who Love the Legend of Zelda, who can't Enjoy Zelda because of the Cartoony Cell Shaded Graphics that would end up giving them Headaches or Epileptic Seizures. Thus Keeping these Players, these Customers from ever buying Zelda Games because Nintendo is going to stick with the Shitty Wind Waker Graphics. Never Expanding on the Twilight Princess Graphics that looked WAY MORE APPEALING to the Eye than a Cartoonish, Comic Book, Cell Shaded Turd. I'm tired of seeing this Cartoony Cell Shaded Art Style in EVERY ZELDA GAME! Honestly I BELIEVE that BotW and TotK would have Looked Better and the Grim and Dark Stories they told in the Twilight Princess Art Style. Zelda isn't some Saturday Morning Cartoon with such Themes like Death, Sacrifice, and so on. Zelda is Not good with such Kiddie Shit Art Styles. That's why Wind Waker got the Bad Rap it did Way back in the Day because of the Kiddie Shit Art Style. Though nowadays Wind Waker is a Beloved and Welcome Addition. Though again, because of the Cartoony Cell Shaded Art Style, People who can't handle it without having an Epileptic Seizure won't be able to Enjoy the Game, or other Zelda Games in that Shitty Art Style. Again BotW and TotK would have benefited More with the Mature Twilight Princess Art Style. But I doubt that Nintendo will listener not even see this Comment because they are Narcissistic Pieces of Shit Assholes. Don't Look at the Shitty Cartoony Art Style, just Consume Product.

I would love to play as Zelda and Gannondorf! I want to know the entire puzzle. Why did hylians do all the evil shit that they did? Why is there only 1 male born every 100 years? What is Gannondorf trying to achieve! So i find this a lovely direction! More Zelda Games! More Sheikah Games! More Gannondorf Games! More Zelda games in general :D

I don’t want remakes but I would like to see those past links revisited. I love the open world format, but also the traditional as well so I don’t care either. But Totk is playable all day every day even after beating it. You get your moneys worth.

I think I'm still gonna prefer botw and totk but this also looks fun so I can't wait

I don't see compromise here, I see doubling down on the do anything aspects of BotW/TotK. The "every experience will be unique" comment from Aonuma is concerning to me. There's a good possibility that puzzles will be trivialized once again and reduced to obstacles. The water blocks in particular seem a bit OP even if you might have a limit. I'll wait to see what this game actually is (not a day 1 purchase for me), but I'm quite skeptical that it'll give me a puzzle heavy experience. This (to me) seems to be the continuation of the devs attempting to make a Minecraft hybrid for the series, and I'm just not interested in that direction.

I am excited to see a new game with a large bestiary again, at least the trailer shows a dozen or so enemies

Your Zelda Reached Level 21! "What? Zelda is Evolving!" !@#$%^&*×+= "Zelda evolved into...?"

My first ever RTS experience was around 2007 when I purchased Rise of Nations at EB Games for $20. Before that I was strictly a console gamer, but after playing RoN I was hooked. I would go on to play Sins of the Solar Empire, Homeworld, Rise of Legends (Meh!) and so on. In the end, I just went back to console and TBS games like FFT and Tactics Ogre. The only RTS I’ve been playing for the past five years and still get a lot of enjoyment is Rusted Warfare on iOS and Steam. The graphics may not appeal to some gamers of the genre, but the offerings by way of maps, units and mods makes the game very fun IMO.

neat

Thank you, c'était magnifique

I hope so, I had so much fun with Age back in the day. My older brother taught me how to play AOE 2 and now I"m teaching my son how to play AOE 2 and AOE 4.This game is going through generations now.

Yo, they better.

man i'm so bad at RTS games lmaoo

no... they arent. its just the same crowd

Why did "prostagma" become a meme in Age of Mythology? Who or where did this meme originate from?

RTS is what got me into PC video games in the early 2000s and I played way too much of those games (RA2, SC1, WC3, AoM, AoE2, RoN) than I probably should've back in the college dorm. As much as I would like it to be the case, sadly, classics like AoMs being remade, reforged, retold, re-whatever ... is no sign that RTS as a genre is coming back, but rather the contrary: it is a thing of yesterday and companies are merely salvaging whatever nostalgic value there is in the ruins of a bygone genre. If RTS is trully coming back then we would be seeing a lot more new titles being announced and released, instead of old gems being exhumed and polished to be sold again.

I know this video isn't a true history lesson but to say the age of empires games popularized the genre seems a little off to me. Less people played warcraft and command and conquer but they were pretty known for the era, and Im pretty sure StarCraft 1 is the one that popularized the genre. It had sold more copies of the game back in the day(Original version of StarCraft sold over 5 million and the Original version of Age of Empires 2 sold over 2 Million before all the DE edition, hd, etc.). Not to attack Age of Empires 2 at all, nowadays that game has a even stronger fanbase now then Starcraft and that's great.

they have already returned unless you are living in a cave, there's been a ton of recent releases

Comment to boost rts hype !

OpenTDD best RTS

There wasn't really any significant/mainstream RTS since the peak of StarCraft 2 in like 2011-2013. Probably because nothing came close to SC2 in terms of mechanics and fun. That had to die so that others may live. Also MOBAs kind of scratched a similar itch for the average gamer, with a much easier learning curve.

I started playing the Age of the Ring mod for BFME2 and it’s amazing. I think there’s definitely an audience for these types of games, especially since we’ve been moving towards more single player experiences. Maybe it’ll be easier to program good AI too that’s better and noch just cheats to be more difficult

Overall kinda yes, its great, most subgenres have something decent in the pipeline !

I cannot stress how good supcom and faf are! still going strong and sanctuary coming late next year id say

If gamespeed is not double, of what the true Era of RTS was .. then yea - maybe it's 'returning', and can be interesting for actually new players to enjoy, in a steady balanced paced. : )
