He saved the world twice, and faded from the world like a phantom, you have to wonder in battle mysterious battle he got his suit of armor, and lost his eye.
@@ChromeShade The ONLY theory I've heard of Navi's sudden departure was that Navi had fulfilled her purpose as a fairy, and so was destined to vanish back into the ether and she didn't want Link to see her die.
Strange enough, the Epona Song/ Lon lon Ranch music where Hero's Shade teaches his descendant the Great Spin fits well. Especially when it's Theorized that Link and Malon ended up together. I can see Link training his son how to fight in Lon Lon Ranch while Malon watches them to make sure they don't overdo it.
I would really love to see Link getting to live a bit of a family life, training up a son. My man really deserves it after everything he's gone through. Though I suppose we get to see a whisper of that here with the Hero's Shade, passing on his techniques to his descendant. Given that this game is around 100 years after Ocarina of Time, it would most likely be his great grandson. I like to think that the hero of time ended up happily with Malon as well
I wish they'd bring heros shade back in anticipation of upcoming zelda games they did this poor kid injustice he was an angel poor kid. If nobody knew heros shade Is the same link from ocarina of time and majoras mask he died In battle and no one ever found his body that's why he has leaves growing in his armor
I couldn't agree more. He deserved so much better after saving multiple kingdoms from destruction. He really is a tragic character. Maybe one day, we'll get some closure with his character
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The concept of the previous Link's ghost training the current Link has always been one of the most intriguing parts of this game to me. Like you said, it really is a powerful relationship
You're right, I never noticed but it actually does look a lot like the Breman mask from Majora's Mask. His design is really cool, I'd love to how he looked wearing that outfit while he was still living
@@kadimawolf7711 I always thought it was an owl. That seems to be the Hero of Time's animal motif. Kaepora guides him in OoT, theres an owl on his shield in MM, and its on his armor as the Hero's Shade
That voice break at the end, though! Omy gosh, I'm sobbing! It's like a proud grandfather with his grandson, like Disney's COCO all over again! WAAAAAAHHH!😭😭😭😭😭 And your youthful voice makes it sound like Time died young. Which makes it even MORE sad! My heart!
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and for letting me know how it resonated with you, it means a lot. I definitely get the feeling that the Hero of Time died far younger than he anticipated. He had future plans that he never got to see to fruition, such as training a successor. And given the fact that he has descendants, he most likely left a wife and children behind, which is heartbreaking. Based off of the armor he wears here and the missing eye, it looks like he met his end in battle. He really sacrificed everything for Hyrule, from his childhood, to his dreams, to his very life and a future with his family. Including the spirit of a past hero in this game was such a beautiful opportunity to explore that aspect of his story.
It’s been so long since I played this thing. I really miss it, I want to play it again almost as badly as I want to play Phantom Hourglass again, but my Wii has gone unused, and the sensor bar doesn’t work anymore. Yet, the scenes in this video, all of it… I recently watched a voice dub of majora’s mask, and knowing who this is, let’s just say it all feels shockingly different now. When I played Twilight Princess, and gained new lessons from the heroes shade, I now know that I wasn’t only helping Midna or protecting the land, I was bringing peace to the hero who has gone through far too much a young boy should never have to. Anyway, thank you so much for showing your work on this.
The Hero of Time truly gave everything for his kingdom. He is the epitome of self sacrifice. Playing Ocarina and Majoras Mask now, its impossible not to feel bad for Link knowing he will meet a tragic and unfilled end one day. I'm glad we are able to help him rest in peace eventually. Thank you for listening to my video and leaving your thoughts here
The game means an incredible amount to me as the first ever Zelda game I played as a child, and the storyline of the Hero's Shade and Link always spoke to me in a way I couldn't explain. Hearing it brought to life so amazingly admittedly made me tear up a little, particularly the final line Link ever hears spoken to him by his predecessor. Thank you.
That's beautiful. Thank you for the compliment and for sharing this wonderful sentiment with me. I'm glad I was able to help bring this storyline to life for you
Bahaha, thank you my friend. It's funny to think about Link being so confused by what the heck these people are talking about telling him to press this or that. Like when Zelda pushed him off of Skyloft and told him to press down on the D-Pad. He'd be like "press what!?" 🤣
@@ChromeShade Ever seen the Hidden Skill training from the Twilight Princess manga? It's hilarious because it's the game's text near verbatim, just without the button inputs and it just feels like "You're supposed to intuitively know what I mean".
Yeah, only a few even make any romantic relationships even make sense. I think the common theory for the Hero of Time is Marrying Malon and becoming a knight who dies in battle before managing to pass on the skills (It does fit really well with TP, a farmer, OOT Link describes TP link as his descendant) Maybe SS, It seems like SS link and Zelda are the founders of Hyrule.
@@mafescarmona5317 Me gusta cómo dieron suficientes pistas para teorizar sobre quién era sin confirmarlo deliberadamente hasta más tarde. Estoy seguro de que fue un momento divertido ser parte de la comunidad de Zelda. Pero también me alegro de que finalmente obtuviéramos una respuesta final en lugar de que no fuera concluyente para siempre.
This is very well done. I hope that Zelda Universe will bring you in as the Hero's Shade in the Twilight Princess English Dub for its 20th anniversary! Edit: I want to ask if you have seen or heard of QuestWithAaron?
Thank you, I really do appreciate that! I would love to be a part of their Twilight Princess dub. I wasn't familiar with QuestWithAaron, but after reading your comment I went to check out his channel. He does some great work, I especially thought his videos on Link's journal entries were very interesting and informative.
@@ChromeShade you're welcome and I hope that they will allow you to be a part of it as well. Also glad that you looked him because a few days ago Aaron had released a new video that mainly focuses on Majora's and in my opinion after watching that video I want others to spread this dude's channel out to the zelda community and zelda theorists because his videos is helping us understand what the true narrative of the zelda games really is!
@@tonystankylol I believe it was in Hyrule Historia that he got the official title of Hero's Shade as well as confirmation that he was indeed the Hero of Time. They never use the term Hero's Shade in Twilight Princess
Any scenes you'd like to see me voice act? Drop a comment and let me know!
You did a decent job. That being said, I feel the voice should be more other worldly. An echoing, hollow voice that fades in and out.
@@jeffcarroll1990shock Thank you for the feedback
He saved the world twice, and faded from the world like a phantom, you have to wonder in battle mysterious battle he got his suit of armor, and lost his eye.
I'd love to know more about his life following Majora's Mask. He deserves the world after the trauma that he went through. He truly is a hero
@@ChromeShade The ONLY theory I've heard of Navi's sudden departure was that Navi had fulfilled her purpose as a fairy, and so was destined to vanish back into the ether and she didn't want Link to see her die.
@@XX-sp3tt I think Navi is the great fairy in TP.

That "my child" at the end got me bad bro :"v
Exelent dub work!
Thank you very much my friend
I do miss the older titles. Where your swordplay mattered more than magic. In fact, there are so few magical items in TP compared to most games today.
Great Work. Twilight Princess is truly a great game, filled with allot of depth and atmosphere . The Heros Shade moments is truly some Powerful stuff.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The concept of the previous Link's ghost training the current Link has always been one of the most intriguing parts of this game to me. Like you said, it really is a powerful relationship
@@ChromeShade love this video
Return of the king
The way you delivered the last line has me bawliNG. Love this man, keep it up.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me my friend. All the best
Anyone ever noticed his chest piece looks like a mask of an animal? 🔥 (How fitting it’s a mask)
You're right, I never noticed but it actually does look a lot like the Breman mask from Majora's Mask. His design is really cool, I'd love to how he looked wearing that outfit while he was still living
@@ChromeShade Definitely agree it’s a bird type design. Others say it would be a face of an owl 🦉🔥
It looks borderline wolf or owl, hard to distinguish
@@kadimawolf7711 I always thought it was an owl. That seems to be the Hero of Time's animal motif. Kaepora guides him in OoT, theres an owl on his shield in MM, and its on his armor as the Hero's Shade
Your voice is oddly fitting for the Hero of Time
That voice break at the end, though! Omy gosh, I'm sobbing! It's like a proud grandfather with his grandson, like Disney's COCO all over again! WAAAAAAHHH!😭😭😭😭😭

Your voice dub is amazing and now I just see you as the hero shades voice.
If the hero of shade is officially given a voice, I hope it's Peter Cullen.
"Z-Target and press A!"
Thanks Gaiseric.
(Great dub btw, 10/10 would Hidden Skill Train again)
Bahaha, thank you my friend. It's funny to think about Link being so confused by what the heck these people are talking about telling him to press this or that. Like when Zelda pushed him off of Skyloft and told him to press down on the D-Pad. He'd be like "press what!?" 🤣

The dead Link is dressed like a ruler of royal guard.
In every life of Link, he never marries Zelda😂 he is just a pawn
Pretty sure the Hero of the Sky ends up with Zelda, as well as the Hero of the Wild.
And there is a possibility, though only a possibility, that they eventually get together after Spirit Tracks.
Yeah, only a few even make any romantic relationships even make sense.

Sky did, and Wild definitely will.
@@MHShah17 MAYBE ss? Nah you gotta be kidding.

Anyone use skull knights voice in their head while reading his dialogue
Just saying imagine if the gero of shade armor was part of tears of the kindoms DLC when they release one 😮😮
Someone tell Aonuma please 😩
You should speak the original Link I would love it
How did we learn his name was the Hero's Shade?
We always knew that. You know what else we always knew? That's OOT Link, like actually.
