Always believed the old man who teaches you for a bit and then shows you the pit Is link from another verse or something. He was so proud when you beat the depths and even beforehand when you can go toe to toe against him. Radius from chrono cross style
"The memory of that kingdom vanished... But it's legend survived on the wind's breath." This line always gives me tearful chills. It's such a deep opening.
The Golden Hawaiian Swordsman Dragon HIGHLY AGREES!! The lore this series has is SO amazing, it's like the narrator is the actual Hero of Time himself!
4:01 "the memory of the kingdom vanished, but it's legend survived on the wind's breath" Goosebumps!!! And that song transition was top notch. This was a game well ahead of it's time and a true storytelling masterpiece
For those that wonder what the Hylian says. ""Long ago, it was said that there was a country chosen by the god’s power. The people who lived in this blessed rich land were called the Hylians, and were said to be able to hear the voices of the gods. They, together with the people of the plains, the people of the mountains, the Gorons, the people of the water, the Zora, the people of the desert, the Gerudo, and the people of the forest, the Kokiri, all carried out unique lives. Even in this rich land, the footsteps of destruction began to creep in. The Evil One seized the power of the gods, and wrapped this land in evil, and the once beautiful land fell into ruin. It was at that time when it happened. A being clad in green appeared out of nowhere, and, granted with the power of the gods, defeated the evil power at the end of a furious struggle. Peace had been returned to the land. It is said, having appeared by crossing time this person was called the Hero of Time, and became a legend in the kingdom. A time later, the kingdom that had been thought to have had its peace returned, again, had dark clouds standing over it. The one who held the evil power, who had been thought to have been sealed forever by the efforts of the hero, revived with no reason. Though the people waited eagerly for the hero of the Legend to once again appear, the hero traveled the flows of time and put the country behind him, and never appeared. With no one to protect them, evil began to draw near even the royal palace. The people, finally entrusted the fates of the entire land into the hands of the gods. Many years have passed since then, and the people who heard the words of this tale began to imitate the hero of legend, and are said to make a boy green clothes to wear as a celebration of his growth. "You who wear the green clothes. Take up the sword that emits light, and erase the malice in this world.” They are entrusted with the hopes that they will someday be raised into becoming fine people, that even the legendary hero would be proud of.:"
+Negasilver Its funny, because Future Zelda sent Link back in time in Ocarina of Time, which lead to the future timeline having no Link anymore, with Ganon returning as he promised, but there was no Link to save the people, so Hyrule was conquered by Ganon and then the Gods banned Hyrule under the ocean of Wind Waker :D That's now Wind Waker happened!
+Ademus Alpeus Gökeus that theory is something made up by nintendo to connect all of the games. more logical reason was he left hyrule to do majoras mask.
Both Wind Waker and Majoras Mask are sequels to Ocarina of Time and it makes sense, but the Fallen Hero Timeline is just BS made up by Nintendo to connect the remaining games. The Wind Waker being a sequel was planned when it was made.
I'm in love with 2:04-3:22 because as they're talking about our boy Link coming to save the day and sealing Ganon away the music is triumphant but as soon as they slowly pan to Ganon coming back from being sealed away the main theme that was once so nice and calming to hear now suddenly dies out and becomes more heavy. Then 3:22 happens and hits like a boulder since everyone was praying for Link to come back but such was not the case since he was sent back in time. One of my favorite openings to a Zelda game ever and I haven't even played it haha
The Golden Hawaiian Swordsman Dragon HIGHLY AGREES! The 1st Legend of Zelda game he played was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. When he 1st played it, he was instantly a fan forever!!
This is but one of the legends of which the people speak... In March 2015, Nintendo announced it's "NX" console. It was blessed with the power of both home console and portable handheld. But Nintendo was afraid that it's competitors would copy the NX, and so, they did not reveal anything else about it... Without any information, the internet was filled with half-baked rumors and speculation. But then, on June 14 2016, just when all hope had died and people started to think the NX would be delayed... ...a young boy clothed in -green- blue appeared as if from nowhere. Showing off his new game, he satiated the gaming community and brought the hype train to full throttle. This game, who's world was only _slighty_ smaller than Xenoblade Chronicles X, was known as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The gameing community was thrilled to see the assets of this new game. But then... they remembered that this didn't really reveal anything new about the NX. The unrest among the fandom... ...once again cought the internet in a slew of rumors, stronger and more heated than before. The fandom believed that the NX would be unveiled during Tokyo Game Show 2016. ...But the NX did not appear. Faced by an onslaught of speculation, the gameing community could do nothing but continuously browse online gameing news websites (which, more often then not, would either be clickbait or just a rehash of we already knew). In their last hour, as the suspence and anxiety became too much, they left their future in the hands of Nintendo. What became of the NX...? None remain who know. (Too lazy to finish the rest of it.) :p
AutobotsInferior The memory of the wait vanished, but its rumours survived on the wind's breath. Clothed in the rumours of the NX, the fans aspired to find real info and cast down clickbait. The elderly fans wished only for the youths to buy the system of legend... Not the best, I know, but I thought I should have tried to finish your comment off even if it barely made sense.
Its the nintendo switch, and i come from the future to tell you that yes, the competency (clony, sorry sony)is going to copy that idea of an hibrid console
And then when all thought it was the end Out of nowhere a console clad in red and blue called the Nintendo Switch came forth and forever defeated the darkness, Then... A star fell from the sky, and from it, came -beyblades- Smash bros ultimate.
One of my favorite game openings, hands down. I have this whole sequence as a poster too. One of the most chilling moments in Wind Waker is when you realize that the gods flooded the old kingdom and you get the call back to "None remain who know"
I remember when I once again played this game my father partly watched the intro with me reading aloud. First he laughed at it, finding it kind of childish. By the part of the end of the intro showing Link in the clouds, he admitted that this was some badass music for "just a Game". By now he knows how much I love Zelda Games and he sometimes randomly plays soundtracks from his Laptop of any Zelda game :D he's always suprised cause I know every soundtrack, thanks to playing almost every Zelda game :)
I was 11 years old when this game released and got this as a gift for my solemn communion (which was a big thing back then in Belgium). My parents had spoiled it by accident that I'd get this on the 'big day' and I remember looking at the case but not being able to play the game cause I had to wait. My last grandfather had just died and on the same day I got a note he wrote for me on that specific day. I still remember seeing this scene as a kid, getting intense goosebumps over my entire body as 2:04 kicks in and tells me: "Everything is going to be alright, be brave and face this storm." The impact this game has had on me, I will forever cherish this gem. ❤
Once in a while I always come here to be amazed just like the first time, oh those were really good times. This was my first TLoZ so for me it has a special place on my heart too
4:01 brought a soft melancholic feel that re turns when you discover Hyrule in the game. This was the first Zelda game that truly made me feel like a hero
Just started playing Wind Waker this Wednesday for the first time and let me tell you the intro with that violin made me cry with emotions!! A freaking game So powerful to move you 😭😂
Such a memorable introduction. It set the right tone for my first playthrough, which I needed. I was skeptical about this game 19 years ago because of its quirky graphics and the untoppable-seeming bar set by the N64 games. The music immediately hooked me. A different motif than I heard on the N64 games, yet it's part of the same recognizable theme of this franchise. Then the narrator establishes the multiverse of the LoZ canon. It relates the Hero of Time lore from OoT, yet it doesn't try to rehash it for this storyline; rather, it invites us to carve our own hero's journey with this version of Link in the same vein, which I found refreshing. It was a masterful way of acknowledging the OoT masterpiece without setting its unmeetable expectations for this game.
The song for this opening will forever be ingrained in my mind. I played this game so much throughout all of my life, ever since I was an infant and all I did was just fuck around, all the way to when I finally ended up beating the game as a teenager!
When this came out, I remember thinking “goodbye family, friends, all connection to the real world ... I’m off on a long voyage in my bedroom with a console”
"The elders wished only for the youth to know courage like the Hero of Legend" is so beautiful when you think about what it's saying about the franchise
Thank you for this.....this was my first game ever on the GameCube along with Sunshine.....this sends me back to my 8 year old self when it came out.....what a gem of a game it was when it came out....exploration and discovery was limitless
I really think the reason why he didn't return is because after the events of Majora's Mask, the hero couldn't find the way out of the Lost Woods when he left Termina.
This might as well be the opening scene of a Zelda movie, and I would watch the hell out of that movie! This is beautiful storytelling that I feel other Zelda games lack.
I feel like people will think I am weird for saying this but underneath the surface Wind Waker is actually quite sad. A Kingdom gets completely flooded, buried and is gone. Never to return again.
best intro in a game ever! art style is great, like you reading through a book! and how the music is used, it just completely fits the mood of what is happening and then, when all hope seems lost... the original theme kicks in OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!
I was too young for Ocarina of Time, but old enough to watch my brother play it. This, Oracle of Seasons and Ages on GBC were my intro to LoZ. Never looked back. The best gaming franchise ever, ingenuity, difficulty, story and lore.
Can't believe Wind Waker is almost 20 years old. AlttP is almost 30 years old. And so am i, because i am just 2 months younger than AlttP. The memories. The flashbacks. The Nostalgia. Outstanding.
Game cube was the first system I ever saved my money for. This game came with my purchase. Me and my buddy sat down and played this from start to finish over a couple of days some 17 years ago. We we're both 12 at the time. Nostalgia and feels.
this was the first ever game i played as a kid, at the age of 4. this song will forever be imbedded in my mind. i remember hearing it every time i played cause i never knew how to save the game cause i couldn’t read lol. i miss the days of roaming around outset island without knowing wtf to do because i was to young to understand anything. but despite i will always remember this song, couldn’t read the subtitles but still conveyed everything through music and pictures
The Golden Hawaiian Swordsman Dragon HIGHLY AGREES on how amazing this legendary adventure game's prologue is!! The writers should be given a award for the amount of storytelling they put in this!!👒🗡️🐉🎮🥰👍
3:00 These bellowing strings always give me chills. I can just imagine a mountain exploding and the purple mists of dark magic tumbling down towards the Hyrulians. I'd love this music to be in a Zelda movie with a deep chorus like Palpatines theme from star wars
I was studying for exams when this game came out. I had been waiting years for it. I somehow managed to find enough self-discipline to NOT play it until exams were over but I watched this intro time and time again. The excitement was almost unbearable.
This wasn't the first LoZ game I played, but i was old enough to appreciate and understand the impact of this intro at the time, its wonderful to say the least. :')
This game released 7 years ago?!?! Holy cow, it is one of my fav games ever. So many memories, replaying the HD really brought that sense of nostalgia.
I literally watched this intro a max of 5 times as a 6 year old kid when playing Wind Waker, and it was SO good that I remember every bit of it 18 years later. This game was a masterpiece and nothing will ever change that.
Игры
I think this intro is so much "shocking" for those who plays Ocarina. "Oh my god...I was this hero..."
Thiago Henrique And you failed to show up when you where needed again! D:
hahaha exactly !
goddamn, i shouldve never went to Termina
True, bro
BUT THAT WAS ZELDA'S FAULT
The contrast between this game's cheerful atmosphere and the great tragedy the lies beneath the whole thing is why I love this game so much
Breath of the Wild is like the HD Version of the Wind Waker's Post-apocalyptic Hyrule, except there it is was Waterworld.
People seems to misunderstand that.
I really love this game. It was the first one I played.
But the Wii U version.
Always believed the old man who teaches you for a bit and then shows you the pit Is link from another verse or something. He was so proud when you beat the depths and even beforehand when you can go toe to toe against him. Radius from chrono cross style
I love how this intro is basically a summary of OoT. No one will ever forget how epic that game was for its time.
I wish I could return to 1998.
It's because Wind Waker is a pretty direct sequel to Ocarina of Time. It's basically an alternate sequel compared to Majora's Mask.
Even in today's standards, it's a masterpiece. Imo, it's the best video game ever. Rdr2 is a close second.
Red dead 2 is average. Over rated as hell
Ocarina of Time is THE BEST Zelda ever
"The memory of that kingdom vanished... But it's legend survived on the wind's breath."
This line always gives me tearful chills. It's such a deep opening.
The Golden Hawaiian Swordsman Dragon HIGHLY AGREES!! The lore this series has is SO amazing, it's like the narrator is the actual Hero of Time himself!
///The goddess Farore also is the wind and it's p good in that sense
2:04 - never fails to make me cry of joy for how epic that scene is.
Mikael077 😂😂😂😂😂
I know Link is just stood there like 'asta la vista baby'
Dude I know what mean
It is spine tingling listening to that tune begin to play...

Goosebumps!!! And that song transition was top notch. This was a game well ahead of it's time and a true storytelling masterpiece
I love how they used wind instruments in that scene 🥰
Especially the reveal toward the end of the game. I was floored.
2:04 is like a base drop, but with an epic violin melody!
bass
THE TEARS! THE GOOSEBUMPS! THE CHILLS!
***** You manage to be less likable than the real Tom Green.
Impressive.
Geez bro after almost 20 years later this almost make me cry
Of the kingdom!

The hero travels the flows of time hmmm I wonder what that means
Zone Tan HOLY SHIT it's amazing :')
That Zelda sent him back to the past, so he wasn't in that timeline anymore
When I have kids I'm going to read this to them as bed time stories
T XIII Lol
T XIII that would be a pretty morbid bead time story.
Fernando Bottazzi I will stab them if they don't feel this shit.
T XIII RIP
i wanna be your son
Still the absolute best Zelda intro. "But the hero did not appear" still gets me every time.

Windwaker was my first Zelda game! going back to this today since I just finished OOT and now it has a different feel to it.
the best Legend of Zelda's intro ever!!!!
Best Zelda intro and best story IMO. Love that it's a sequel to the great OOT and the story ties together with that Nintendo Masterpiece.
Its not really a sequel this intro just retells the events of what happened in a previous game
@@hylianro uh huh, yes, that’s usually what a sequel does... mmhmmm so your point being...?
@@hylianro it's a sequel because we follow the same Ganondorf and seal him for good.

totally chills , to anyone who knows and loves the saga. tears and love
Once in a while I always come here to be amazed just like the first time, oh those were really good times. This was my first TLoZ so for me it has a special place on my heart too
4:01 Iconic. Sounds and visuals.
Right in the feels...
my childhood in 3 minutes ..
4:01 brought a soft melancholic feel that re turns when you discover Hyrule in the game.
This was the first Zelda game that truly made me feel like a hero
“And what became of that kingdom?
None remain who know.”
Reading that as the music cuts out gives me goosebumps.
I started playing throught the Zelda games for the first time very recently. And i started WW just minutes after finishing OOT., it was so amazing.
Why did you skip majora's mask??
And now, how many legends have you traveled ?
love this music
The music of this game is fucking awesome.
Zeldagigafan And that's an understatement!
fuck... even my goosebumps are getting goosebumps
fractal geometry
Mind blown
Just started playing Wind Waker this Wednesday for the first time and let me tell you the intro with that violin made me cry with emotions!! A freaking game So powerful to move you 😭😂
My 11 year old mind just could not comprehend the epicness of this intro. But 20 years later emotions are just flowing out
2:04 literally goosebump. Shout out to whoever nailed that solo violin
Believe it or not, it’s actually a sequenced MIDI playing with good samples. Mario Sunshine was another game that did this
My gosh at 2:04 the chills immediately started!

Are you talking about wind waker or breath of the wild?
Wind Waker & Twilight Princess will always have a place in my heart. ❤
My 2 faves as well
you get it
When this came out, I remember thinking “goodbye family, friends, all connection to the real world ... I’m off on a long voyage in my bedroom with a console”
Omg reading this made me cry idk why
This is still my favorite Zelda game, the story is probably the best out of all of them. And this intro is excellent.
2:58 This theme gives me chills. Every time.
It also reminds me of when the headteacher randomly walks into your class.........
"The elders wished only for the youth to know courage like the Hero of Legend" is so beautiful when you think about what it's saying about the franchise
Thank you for this.....this was my first game ever on the GameCube along with Sunshine.....this sends me back to my 8 year old self when it came out.....what a gem of a game it was when it came out....exploration and discovery was limitless
3:22 "But the Hero did not appear" always gets me 😢😢😢

@@Tekman_ no its because zelda sent link to his childhood so the adult timeline has no hero

i got a gamecube emulator on my phone, so i play it from there
Remaster, not remake ;)
@@notzeldalol712 can you tell me how to get ut
@@Romanattor google dolphin emulator
Port. It. To. The. Switch.
It's an absolute crime that they still have not done this all these years later. My gamecube can't read discs anymore...
ikr... 😢
This might as well be the opening scene of a Zelda movie, and I would watch the hell out of that movie! This is beautiful storytelling that I feel other Zelda games lack.
I’m not really a fan of Zelda but 2:04 was awesome. Perfect.
I got goosebumps the first time I saw this intro when it came out and it still happens now
"..The memory of the kingdom vanished, but its legend survived on the wind's breath.."
I was just a young kid. Greatest thing ever. Now I’m an adult with kids. I MUST SHOW THEM
I feel like people will think I am weird for saying this but underneath the surface Wind Waker is actually quite sad.
A Kingdom gets completely flooded, buried and is gone. Never to return again.
The end of an era😞
I cant believe the people stood to pray for Link the True Hero to return to save them again but he never returned.That had me chills down my spine
2:04 Overworld segment best part
Just one of the legends...
MUCH HELP WAS TO BE HAD THAT DAY!!! I needed this for.my essay!!!!!! thank you for uploading this!!!
ooh i'm getting all the goosebumps!
best intro in a game ever!
art style is great, like you reading through a book!
and how the music is used, it just completely fits the mood of what is happening
and then, when all hope seems lost... the original theme kicks in
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!
what i like about this intro is it is really dark and mysterious but the game's overall theme is joyful and shiny
Like ALTTP in a way.
I was too young for Ocarina of Time, but old enough to watch my brother play it. This, Oracle of Seasons and Ages on GBC were my intro to LoZ. Never looked back. The best gaming franchise ever, ingenuity, difficulty, story and lore.
Can't believe Wind Waker is almost 20 years old. AlttP is almost 30 years old. And so am i, because i am just 2 months younger than AlttP.
The memories. The flashbacks. The Nostalgia. Outstanding.
Game cube was the first system I ever saved my money for. This game came with my purchase. Me and my buddy sat down and played this from start to finish over a couple of days some 17 years ago. We we're both 12 at the time. Nostalgia and feels.
So over time the Zoras evolved into the RITOs.
The theme music 2:04 sounds INCREDIBLE so does the rest of the intro.
Goosebumps such a beautiful song
By far the best Zelda intro and still the best Zelda game imo.
I really hope they re-re-release this game for Switch. That would be epic!
this was the first ever game i played as a kid, at the age of 4. this song will forever be imbedded in my mind. i remember hearing it every time i played cause i never knew how to save the game cause i couldn’t read lol. i miss the days of roaming around outset island without knowing wtf to do because i was to young to understand anything. but despite i will always remember this song, couldn’t read the subtitles but still conveyed everything through music and pictures
The Golden Hawaiian Swordsman Dragon HIGHLY AGREES on how amazing this legendary adventure game's prologue is!! The writers should be given a award for the amount of storytelling they put in this!!👒🗡️🐉🎮🥰👍
Agreed!
You realize how sad this is because you know from playing games and watching the new versions of cut scenes. This legend is very sad.
3:00 These bellowing strings always give me chills. I can just imagine a mountain exploding and the purple mists of dark magic tumbling down towards the Hyrulians. I'd love this music to be in a Zelda movie with a deep chorus like Palpatines theme from star wars
This was my first Zelda and YEAH, i cried while listening to this.
I was studying for exams when this game came out. I had been waiting years for it. I somehow managed to find enough self-discipline to NOT play it until exams were over but I watched this intro time and time again. The excitement was almost unbearable.
Holy shit, you have amazing powers of self control!

This wasn't the first LoZ game I played, but i was old enough to appreciate and understand the impact of this intro at the time, its wonderful to say the least. :')
This is recommended too me every few months, and I watch it everytime :)
This game released 7 years ago?!?! Holy cow, it is one of my fav games ever. So many memories, replaying the HD really brought that sense of nostalgia.
bro 7 years ago? more like 20 years ago 💀
It released like 20 years ago
As someone who grew up playing wind waker... the opening gave me goosebumps man.
I have loved this intro since i first saw it. WoW...
This intro is a musical masterpiece, Zelda games soundtracks are on of the best in the game industry, if not the best
Agreed!!
It fills my eyes with tears every fucking time
This was my childhood!!! Gamecube till 1 am!
2:04 *Goosebumps activate*
My favourite Legend of Zelda game, my favourite game of all time as a matter of fact :]
Love how wood silhouette stands on the back for the rest of the video hahaha love from Mexico my guy ❤
I literally watched this intro a max of 5 times as a 6 year old kid when playing Wind Waker, and it was SO good that I remember every bit of it 18 years later. This game was a masterpiece and nothing will ever change that.
Man when the theme music kicks in, gets me every time
2:04 one of the most iconic and most memorable themes in gaming history IMHO
That one note has such a HIT to it. I have no idea how a string instrument was able to produce a sound like the strike of a sword.
The music of this segment,it's just so moving,it really gets you the feel of who the hero if time was
2:04... Motivation!
Exactly dude, when Link's Theme shows up it makes me wanna cry! All seems lost, and then... the boy clothed in green. Right in the feels!
I got chills!
3:07 chills every time
Meks me crie evrtme....
Not even trying to be funny. This is such an incredible and emotional intro. Absolute perfection...
It's been soooooooooooo long since I've heard this but I still hasn't faded from memory
