2:12:25 is probably the only legitimate moment in existence I’ve ever seen link truly display fury and anger at something. He’s usually just a chill guy that reacts to everyone else around but here it truly seems like he can’t stand the sight of an injustice taking place right in front of him. Wish we could see more of this link
The fact that we don’t see much emotion from link in literally any other Zelda game, then we watch him almost cry in this one… probably hurts more than anything in that scene
i've been hopelessly obsessed with this game for 11 years. i've played every other zelda game and now i'm playing totk but i just keep coming back to this specific cast. this link, this zelda, groose, fi, ghirahim... no other zelda game has this brilliant of a cast, this emotional of a story. it's just so personal. in every other zelda game you play as a brave knight saving/helping a noble princess but, even though link and zelda have huge roles here as well, they're just regular ol' teens at their core. their relationship is so intimate and their emotions are so strong. all this mixed with the exquisite supporting cast, spectacular music (best in the series i'd say) and gorgeous world-building... skyward sword will always be my favorite game ever. nothing comes close
@@hawks-wingsI think for most people it’s a combination of frustrating mechanics and lack of freedom. Part of why I think OoT and BotW are so popular specifically is that they focus more on gameplay than narrative, which a lot of people only care about at a surface level. It’s easier to feel like the story is good when you’re having fun, even if you’re not really paying much attention and the story itself is shallow. And vice versa, if you’re not having much fun, it’s easy to get annoyed with and start poking fun at the story, which stops you from really taking it to heart and resonating with the ideas it’s trying to share. Not that you shouldn’t put effort into understanding it, just that most people don’t care enough to. But a lot of the criticisms people have with Skyward Sword have to do with the constant, long segments of dialogue, which can be irritating if you just want to keep exploring. There’s also the constant returning to areas and the exploration itself being pretty linear. Though for me, the story far outshines other Zelda games and more than makes up for some of its shortcomings.
@@hawks-wings i'd say it's herd mentality. its reputation was fine a decade ago until popular youtubers started hating on it way out of proportion. now people won't even give it a chance and just repeat criticisms they heard like "the motion controls make it impossible to play!!!" even though most players didn't struggle with them much lol

Out of all the zelda games I've played, this one puts a bit more personality on Link and Zelda. The others usually just depict them as taciturn strong characters but you never get to see a goofy side to them or even remotely showing emotion toward on another.
People can say what they want about the motion control ruining the game, Skyward Sword will remain one of my favorite just for how much characterization went into Link and Zelda here. Even with the cartoony design of Wind Waker, Link never felt so expressive as he was in this game.
@@quillion3rdoption I'm in no way saying this is the best characterization anyone has ever received in a video game, I'm saying it's the best exemple from the Zelda franchise. Story driven rpgs are my favorites games and I'm a ttrpg player as well. So I was glad to see Link and Zelda be written as something more than blank slate archetypes for once.
I think I knew it was her from the start since the hair strand thing, it’s probably good they kept it a secret until the end Edit: I thought you meant the whole time and not just the end
I just finished this game on the switch and links expressions in every cutscene are so good that I was taking screenshots and screen recordings left and right. I lowkey want to start a new playthrough just to capture all of the moments I didnt get because I was too absorbed when watching them the first time
Thanks for making this, just let my daughter see it so she could understand all the lore before TotK next week. She’d never have finished the game in time
This version of Zelda in the game is the best version of Zelda we have ever gotten IMO. Her relationship with Link makes the game so much more compelling and makes me so much more determined to reach her. I am not kidding when I say every time I play this game there’s always a small piece of me that genuinely hopes I can catch up to Zelda even though the story is hardcoded so you never really do until when she gives you that expedition dump.
1:35:51 one of my favorite cutscenes. Nintendo should make a cutscene showing what it looks like in the past or present when it was activated on the other side. Does it reverse destroy, or look cooler like this? Anyway, 1:38:45 to skip dialogue
I presume based on previous conversations it’s that she wanted to go down to the surface at some point and wanted to ask if he’d come with her, OR she wanted to tell him she had feelings for him
I bet she was gonna confess to him. Before that scene, she looked shy after she told Link he was amazing. And then she basically asked him out if you think about it.
1:04:12 is nobody gonna talk about this dialogue??? “I’d take pleasure in punishing you”, “but next time I’ll do more than beat you senseless”, “I’ll make the affair so excruciating you'll deafen yourself with the shrill sound of your own screams” -Gayrahim I might be thinking too much but- am I the only one??? 😭
Zelda says Hylia's plan was to reincarnate as human so that she could use the triforce to defeat Demise... but she never does... nor can she... When she reincarnates as Zelda she has no memory of the triforce and she clearly needs to sleep in the crystal to maintain the seal on Demise, so when was she going to get it and use it? Obviously Link is the missing part of that plan, but if she planned for him to get the triforce and use it, why did she need to become human?
@@housingfungus2843 The game never says that. She says specifically that she became human because Gods can't use the triforce. She maintains the seal in order to keep Demise sealed away whilst Link finds it, but she never says that she had to be human to do that.
@@RG-ZeldaplayerShe does say she received grievous injuries in her fight with Demise, and that she wouldn’t survive when he came back. That part about the Triforce did always bother me though.
I remembered playing this game on the wii. The first time I tried to beat the first boss in the first dungeon, I died. I came back to the game a couple of years later and I could beat him that time around
1:05:04 Groose: didn't anyone teach you how to land Me: excuse me but your the one that followed me knowing you didn't have a way to land safely ( Groose's face is also really funny)
I never played this game but when I realize Demise’s words…… My childhood came rushing back and being like 😱 I couldn’t believe in this moment there were multiple Links and Zelda’s… everything clicked.
@2:08:52 ^ best part right here your welcome okay i'm adding all my favorite moments too: @6:09 - loftwing throws mail at links head @7:32 - zelda sings @21:33 - link catches zelda #1 (NICE catch bro) @23:23 - link and zelda get real close to kissing @1:03:06 - link defends impa and zelda (NICE timing bro) @1:04:34 - link's face @1:35:44 - link opens gate of time and says goodbye to zelda @2:10:00 - link catches zelda #2 (EVEN NICER CATCH BRO) @2:12:21 - link gets PISSSSSSSSED BRO @2:29:57 - fi says goodbye T_T @2:37:13 - impa says HA TOLD YOU SO then dips tf out @2:46:33 - happy ending (:
If you really think about it though, the time travel standard they set in this game makes no sense to endgame cutscenes. They establish this system of “you haven’t been to the past yet so it hasn’t happened”, yet impa has Zelda’s bracelet and Zelda is locked away in crystal thing at the beginning of the game. I still really dig the time travel though, just got some weird inconsistencies from the standard they’ve set in the series
Even though he has blonde hair and blue eyes, I like how Link more resembles a Japanese teen in the later games beginning with TP. Kind of sad how Shigeru Miyamoto, the president of a Japanese company, has to make one of his titular characters Caucasian looking in order to market his game to the west.
I agree with you. In todays day and age it wouldn’t have mattered what he looked like but back then it did because people were so ignorant to anything different. Imagine a world where this game never got to reach the masses and have a rich history of sequels because of accurate cosmetics differences. I’m sad it couldn’t have been a completely love letter to Japanese culture but we still have it regardless of cosmetics ❤️
So if Ghirahim went back in the past to release Demise from the seal, couldn’t the Link and Zelda from newer games (like botw) go even further back in the past and prevent him from ever being released? Thus ending the curse bound to their souls? Sounds so easy, but technically couldn’t IT happen????
maybe, but we don’t know BOTW’s stance in the timeline. maybe when tears of the kingdom comes out, we’ll have more clues. and, some suspect TOTK to have time travel.
Bruh so after your done with the game. I just finished the game, can you not go back in skyloft and stuff and explore with zelda after the end???? Usually games let u explore even after the game is done..?????? CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN MAN I WANTED TO DO OTHER STUFF LIKE JUST EXPLORE MORE WITH ZELDA!!
Said it before and I'll say it again, this whole game is essentially hylia manipulating Link. She knew Link would jump through hoops to save Zelda, and regardless if it was meant to be fate, he not once had a choice in the matter.
2:12:25 is probably the only legitimate moment in existence I’ve ever seen link truly display fury and anger at something. He’s usually just a chill guy that reacts to everyone else around but here it truly seems like he can’t stand the sight of an injustice taking place right in front of him. Wish we could see more of this link
Even Groose seemed a little afraid of him. It’s like those memes about “when you see the chill friend angry for the first time.”
Ss link has the best emotions out of any game
I think it’s extremely important for an “All Groose scenes” video to exist in 4k
agreed but for ghirahim also

👁️👄👁️
Fr but i laughed and it feels like a crime to laugh so then i cried
he looks like he's about to break wind, but has to keep it in
i cakcled at it lmao its so funny
It's the music in Skyward Sword for me. Very cinematic and dramatic. Beautiful orchestration!
I've always thought it's soundtrack is one of the most beautiful ones in existance, and I still think so.
I love how even in newer games they still kept Fi's "voice" within the sword 😭💕
6:12 This part had me dying! The skyloft bird just spat the paper at him like *"Here's your letter %$#&!"* I loved it.
probably the single best moment in the entire game
Agreed
1:30:00 Gotta love how Ghirahim turns to the camera and blows a kiss at the player!
I NEVER NOTICED SJDJDJ
I NEVER SAW THAT AFTER ALL THIS TIME
WAIT WHATTTTT
funy numbr haha likes
I have never noticed that!!😂😂
21:34 i love that they gave link an emotional bond with zelda to save her
Most epic scenes timestamps:
1:01:47 The Temple of Time
1:39:26 The Seal of Zelda
1:59:27 Song of the Hero
2:04:00 The Triforce wish
2:28:40 Farewells
Might I add 2:15:31 Ghirahim’s True Purpose
This is still the most cinematic Zelda
In my opinion this is one of the best cutscenes in the game
(1:04:33)
1:49:03 Now we can experience Link's heartbreak in HD! :D
*sob*
The fact that we don’t see much emotion from link in literally any other Zelda game, then we watch him almost cry in this one… probably hurts more than anything in that scene
slow it down in that scene. didn’t know that i could cry over crying pixels yet here we are 😭

I literally do not get why people hate this game, it’s a masterpiece tbh
@@hawks-wingsI think for most people it’s a combination of frustrating mechanics and lack of freedom. Part of why I think OoT and BotW are so popular specifically is that they focus more on gameplay than narrative, which a lot of people only care about at a surface level.

2:37:15 It would’ve been such a powerful move if they changed the name above the text box to Impa.
Ikr! And then the power move would last for like 5 seconds before she freakin dies 😂
I think I knew it was her from the start since the hair strand thing, it’s probably good they kept it a secret until the end
Edit: I thought you meant the whole time and not just the end
I speak for everyone when Fi's voice is very calming, soothing, and pretty.
Annoying
No you definitely don’t speak for everyone
But she is also an elegant dancer and is so polite and beautiful
She always annoyed me so much and then when we were faced with the fact that we have to leave her behind in the sword forever I got so sad....😂
Frrr✨💞
Love how the credits show the cut zelda story somewhat. That’s cool
Just completed the HD game and it's one of the saddest yet satisfying games in the series
Why sad

Wow I wish someone would look at me the way Zelda looks at Link at 11:18 🥺

Thanks for making this, just let my daughter see it so she could understand all the lore before TotK next week. She’d never have finished the game in time
That crying at the end was moving how Zelda felt as it was quite an intense battle it was for link to win.
Link’s smile….I CANT HANDLE IIIIT!!!!!
Imma die from happiness!!!!
I think we need a playable sequence or full game to experience what they talk about in the opening cutscene of the game

And everyone thinks the OOT time travel ish is hard to follow lol. They’re gonna split this into like 10 different alternate timelines.
This game takes place at the start of the timeline though.

maybe, but we don’t know BOTW’s stance in the timeline. maybe when tears of the kingdom comes out, we’ll have more clues. and, some suspect TOTK to have time travel.
and, canonically, since skyward is the first link in the timeline (for now), maybe it would be too far in the past
