Did you like Link's Awakening? Any version of it?
Honestly one of the best gameboy games
Like it for sure. Wish the Zelda Oracle games get the same remake treatment.
I agree! It was one of the first Zelda games I played. I think it's the best Game Boy game.
Me too! They've always been look over in favor of the other titles.
I'm 38 years old, I remember playing LA when it dropped on GB and again on GBC. Kids these days will never know the excitement of standing in line for a physical copy of a game only to not be able to play it until the sun comes up because you can't see the screen! HAHAHA!
To hell with the haters. I come here cause I enjoy your style and don't want you to stop. You have passion in your vids.
Thanks for always coming back and watching my videos. I appreciate what you said. I intentionally put dramatic parts in this just to poke fun at the few people that have commented negative things in the past.
@@NeanderMeander awesome. I'll always be here to enjoy your content
Much appreciated!
I agree!
I actually prefer your tone to other RUclipsrs. I can tell video games have had an important impact on your life, so of course it’ll be more serious. You approach these topics with great reverence, which is why I can relate to all of your videos in the first place. You seem more genuine than most.
I do my best! This video was a one time satire. I'm already making another video that is closer in tone to my other videos.
Thought it was funny how you made this video more "fun" and "silly"! However, I've always enjoyed your channel because of your expert videography skills and premium quality! I love getting to see your massive 3DS collection and hear about your gaming experiences! Keep making videos the way you wanna make them!
Thanks for watching my videos. I’m not going to be changing things up permanently. This was a fun video to make, but not really what I do on a daily basis. There are a million other channels trying to be funny, there are only a few that attempt to deliver a cohesive and entertaining story from start to finish. I try to do the latter.
Dude your voice delivers alot to your videos! Keep up the high quailty work!
Thanks man! How are things going?
@@NeanderMeander good. How about you?
It's been going really well. With the holidays right around the corner, I'm hoping there will be enough time to crank out a few more videos.
@@NeanderMeander Your videos are getting better and better! I wish I had more time to be creative. We should collab sometime.
@@officialnofriendo I would love to collaborate on something!
I actually have all 3 versions of Links Awakening, and I myself thought your voice was great, it's very slow and deliberate and gets your point across well. Your answer to the individuals who thought your videos were most humorous! I'm amazed no one has given me grief for my recent episodes that I've done in a more cinematic style for the opening credits, as I wanted to first, let the credits breathe and unfold in a slower fashion, and second, as I'm a fan of allegorical statements and things, I wanted to put subtle things in my cinematic beginning credits as well. As always great video, til the next. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈😊🎮🖖Marcus
You have great videos! I'm glad I was able to catch your stream the other day! I'm so bad at Mega Man games, it was good to watch someone who is actually good at playing them. Thanks for always watching!
@@NeanderMeander Thanks. I ended up finishing MM3 Revamped that night. Appreciate you greatly. 😊🎮
That's amazing! Good job!
Amazing video, i love how you actually managed to take every criticism to heart, while still taking the piss out of everyone. Even though i like your normally more monotone and cold delivery, this was a very nice change of pace
Dont listen to those haters, I love your presentation and narration! I come here to watch something different from the current "youtube meta", you always deliver with great content, keep the great job!!
Thank you for the kind words! It's great to hear that there are people who like watching the videos I make.
When I subscribed to your channel, it was because of your style. I had never seen a game channel like that. Change nothing.
Thanks for saying this. That was my whole goal with it. I don't plan on changing a thing.
Links awakening has always been one of my favorite zelda games. I remember the first time i played it it was around zeldas 25th anniversary. I would listen to the zelda orchestra cd while playing this game on my gba sp in the middle of the night. Good memories
That's awesome! I can imagine that being a really great experience. My next video might have something to do with this game. Keep and eye out for it.
Your videos are amazing. No complaints from me.
I appreciate that!
Omg this video was sooooo fun. Great video. You made me appreciate this game and now I kinda want to actually finish it. I personally enjoyed your previous videos for the time and level of quality. They definitely stood out from the other channels. Fun fun fun!!!
That makes me happy that you liked it. I wasn't really sure how it would turn out. You should finish the game. It's really good!
Lololol this was gold.
I love your normal format. It’s so freaking cinematic. I’m not sure why other people are complaining.
But your satirical response was priceless.
I'm so glad you liked this video. I tried to keep it in kind of the same style, but go way over the top with the silly stuff. I'm happy to see it didn't go over your head like some other people who have watched it. I haven't made another one like this because I prefer the style of my other videos. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Your channel is the main reason I keep eyeballing overpriced 3DS systems at my local game store.
Your videos may be “dramatic” for the subject matter, but your appreciation for the consoles and games are why I watch. Your enthusiasm comes through in a unique way. If I wanted to watch Scott the Woz… I’d go watch him.
You just keep making what you love. There is an audience for what you are doing.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words. I hope I haven’t convinced you to over spend for one.
Not at all. I'll pick one up when I find a great deal. Nintendo doesn't seem to be focused on making the 3DS library available on the switch. I'm excited to experience so many games I've missed out on.
My god man your humor is right down my alley. I love every vid I’ve watched so far. Great content man, don’t change a thing
I’m so glad you liked it! It was a fun one to make.
Lol don’t worry about hose haters, I think your content is original and I’m always here for each video! Love the effort that goes into each upload
Wow, thank you! I try to make videos that aren't like any other gaming videos out there. Sometimes when I get watching videos, they all start to blur together because of how similar they all are.
One thing I may love more than Link’s Awakening is this video lol!😆 Don’t listen to the negative comments, I really enjoy your video-making style!
Also, this game was the first one my non-gaming family actually sat and watched me play. We all loved the story and going through the dungeons together. Can’t wait for your next vid!
Thank you so much! That's a great story about your family being a part of it. That's awesome! I love hearing things like that.
It's your channel, do things the way you want. You always know what you're talking about.
I do my best to be informed on what I'm talking about. And you're right, it's my channel and I should be able to do what I want with it. It was a fun change of pace to make this one though.
Honestly with the quality of your videos I expected you to have a million subscribers. As always this was a good one, thank you.
Thank you so much for writing this. It's really good to read some positive words.
@@NeanderMeander Just being honest😃 and I’m sure many agree with me and choose to stay for this content!
Bro your videos are awesome. You have followers from mexico and your voice isn't robotic. I can hear the passion when somethign excites you like your top 3ds games. I hope o see a bioshock video in the future or something like that
Thank you so much! It’s so good reading comments like this. It makes making videos with it.
I love the Bioshock games! The first game completely shocked me at how good it was! I need to play all three of them again
I liked the toilet stuff you did but I love your videos for how they are originally made, please don't change to please others, your videos are great and I'm always patiently waiting your new videos
Thanks for saying such kind words! This video was more of one off thing. I made it way over the top, but still put in dramatic parts to say that I’m not going to change to appease the few that think I should be like every other channel. I’ll continue to make the videos I really like to make. Thank you for always coming back to watch my videos
This is both a great overview of the game and a hilarious way to shut some people up. Amazing work as always.
Thank you for watching this one. I tried to make a quality review and throw some sand in some haters eyes at the same time. I'm glad it came through.
I came to love your channel for two reasons
1. Nintendo/games
2.how dramatic you convey these things
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. It’s great reading comments like yours. Thank you so much
@@NeanderMeander I should be thanking you for your efforts to inform and entertain 🙏🙏🙏
Awesome content bossman...I enjoy your unique style of videos...please don't change it, there's enough "fun" cookie cutter videos out there...thank you for the informative content you create...
Thank you so much for watching this one. I’m not changing. I don’t think I can pull off comedy
Oh hey just a status update sense you’re last video I’ve beaten Metroid dread, super Metroid, and donkey kong country and I’ve started Kirby’s dream land 3 and a link between worlds. I’ve also opted out of getting the snes new 3ds xl and instead plan to buy a black one, I can’t afford the snes edition and I’m planning to do a shell swap in the future. Its also nice to see a video on my current favorite Zelda game, thanks for the video these always make my day.
Wow! You've been busy! How have you liked the Metroid games and Donkey Kong Country? I haven't played Kirby's Dreamland 3. I've heard it's really good.
I think it's a solid plan to do a shell swap. Those 3DS special editions are going for way too much money.
I'm so glad you come back and watch my videos when I upload new ones. Thank you.
@@NeanderMeander the Metroid games where grate I knew I was going to love them and donkey Kong country to say the least was challenging, you have my respect.
I liked your other videos, but honestly, this was the best one yet 😂
It was fun to make. I liked being a little more loose with the writing and filming. Though, it was a chore to clean up all that confetti. I'm glad you liked it!
ay f them haters man! I haven’t commented on ur vids in a bit but I’ve still kept watching and I love your content, keep up the great work!
Thanks for always watching! It's good to see you back in the comments
The way you make your videos is the reason I subscribed and iam sure iam not alone, i dont really care about the fun part, ilts not the purpose here, i love the tone of your voice when you talk about your experience on different games, i find it unique, i am 33 so watching someone throwing games in toilet is not really what iam looking for. Anyway what i wanted to say is you will never be able to satisfy everyone, maybe different videos with different styles would work, as for me i love the drama you add and the way you approach each topic
you have no idea how many hours I try to fight back the monkey that throws you bananas. I only managed to make him escape but never make him fall.
That's crazy!
Strange, another similar channel just released a video on this game. Which is fine, since it's my favorite 2D Zelda.
That is weird! I've been at this one for a while now trying to figure out a good way to script what I wanted to say about it.
I like your video style and this is my favorite Zelda game
Thank you so much! This is my favorite Zelda game too!
This channel is pure gold !
Thanks for watching! Especially this video. It didn’t get very many views, but it was fun to make.
Best Game Boy game of all time. My grandma bought me the original Game Boy and it came bundled with this game. I spent so much time swiping that grass to get rupees.
Agreed! It's the best Game Boy game ever! I did that with the grass too!
Don't change, keep doing what you're doing, do you, be you.
I'm not changing. This was just a fun video where I address those people who want me to be what they think I should be. More of a satire.
lol love the humor. But I subscribed to you because you make awesome content even without screaming and throwing your games into toilets.
I really appreciated reading this. All my videos take time to plan out every little detail. Even the script takes a while to write. I made this video to joke around with the comments I get saying I'm too serious. I even put in a small serious part around the end, just to really stick it to them.
Thank you for subscribing and watching my videos.
@@NeanderMeander of course man! Keep up the amazing work!
Dude, when you screamed and tossed the game in the toilet, I spat out my coffee. You owe me a Macbook Pro . . .I hope your adsense can cover that! :P LOL! Nah but seriously, super awesome video and please don't change who you are, I subscribed because I get tired of every content creator always yelling at me. It's a nice change up!
I'm glad you liked it! I hardly make any money off these videos. If you're good with a mac from 2008, I got you covered.
Your style of video and tone are great don’t listen to the critics
Thank you so much!
What is melody playing faintly in the background at 4:42 ?
That is the theme for the Face Shrine dungeon in Link's Awakening.
Cool video, amazing to see you only have 6k subs.
Also pretty neat how you reply to every comment, you don’t hide anything behind a paywall or have a E beg link tied to anything. Not very many channels left without some alternative motive.
Keep doing the channel how you see fit.
I'm glad you came back to watch this video! I do my best to reply to everybody that took time out of their day to watch and comment because I really appreciate it. There's so many other things they could be doing instead of watching my videos. I know there are other channels that lock content behind a paywall, which is fine. Unlike some of those channels, I don't depend on mine for my livelihood. This is all a side project for me. It's great for sharpening my film making and photography skills.
Your videos are always great and enjoyable 👍
Thank you so much!
The shade thrown on the negative comments are great. Keep it up. 🎉🎉🎉
Always!
I bought a Samus shirt from Nintendo’s online store. I thought I was going to get great mileage out of it. I thought I was going to get great mileage out of it. I thought I was goin...... I wore it once and the print immediately started to peel of. I spent $35 to were the shirt once..... I am beyond unhappy I actually like the shirt to I even got a matching orange dress shirt.
Wow, really. That's unfortunate. Did you buy it from Nintendo directly?
Always love your videos! Loved the satire in this one. keep being you!
Oh man I love the new links awakening game. I just bought links awakening dx to play through it on the game boy.
I'm glad you liked it! I thought it would be a fun change of pace for one video.
I love Link's Awakening. I played it like crazy on the original Game Boy when I was younger. Before the Switch came out, I got stuck on an airplane waiting for a storm to pass by. I ended up playing the DX version on my 3DS and had an absolute blast with it. It holds up really well!
ive beaten it on my game and watch and hope to on my 3d here soon it is definitely my favorite legend of zelda game although i've only beaten 2. links awakening and the og.
I think that's extremely cool that you beat it on the Game and Watch. That's amazing!
I actually dont know why I have never played this game.
I have multiple Nintendo.. switches? Never thought about getting Links Awakening.
You know what.
I will give it the chance it deserves.
I'll get it.
I love this game! It’s really quirky and full of charm. If you like top down Zelda games, you will most likely enjoy this one.
I Allways Loved your channel
Thank you so much for watching! I really appreciate it
I beat the original back on my Android long ago. I really need to jump back into the remake, but I’m more into the 3D games.
Dang! You beat it on your phone? That awesome! I played it on an Android years ago. But I remember the digital controls feeling off. I bet if I had used a controller it would have been better.
The remake is really good! All the changes they made make it the most playable version.
I'm getting into the 3D games. I hadn't played Ocarina of Time until 2016. That shows how out of touch I am with 3D Zelda.
@@NeanderMeander Yeah it was on a phone with a physical keyboard. Another reason I was sad to leave those behind.
@@switchunboxing Me too! Those keyboards were great!
Another great vid, and keep up the robo voice and dramatic intros!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked this and my other videos. I don't plan on changing
Huh that’s interesting I haven’t ever felt like your voice was dramatic or that you videos are not fun I for one enjoy them the way they are, I mean that’s why I subscribed, isn’t it?
Yeah, I made this video to poke fun at those people who leave those comments. I will say, it took me way longer and it was a more in depth process than my other videos. That confetti was a pain to deal with!
9/10, not enough confetti.
I knew I should have used more shots with the confetti!
I've always wanted to play this game and a couple of months ago I finally decided to play it, but also decided to create my own Game Boy emulator to do it. I'm like 80% of the way to being able to play the original version properly. I just need to iron out some nasty audio sync issues.
Whoa! That's awesome! I have no idea how to do things like that.
Hey I’m thinking of starting a channel where I do animations and discus game as I play them sense my collection is so small I figured I could use the channel as a sort of record of my collection and my first experiences with these games. I guess what I’m trying to get at is do you have any tips or pointers for me?
That's awesome! I would love to see what you come up with. My one bit of advice would be to plan out all of your shots before you begin. I used to find myself going back for shots I needed, which made me setup my set and cameras all over again. Just stay organized and have a plan.
With every video you upload i just think about one thing, why don't this dude have like 2.3M subscribers or something like that, wtf
I really appreciate hearing things like this. It's tough competing with the bigger channels that crank out videos almost everyday.
Hey man this video was way too funny. Maybe you can try being a bit more dramatic in the next one. Zelda is serious games and you need to be serious. Anyway great video, great videography, great audio. GREAT!
I love it! Thanks for the feedback. I'll do my best to make a more dramatic video next time. Speaking of next time, when are we going to make a video together?
@@NeanderMeander things have been crazy on my end... I'd love to get working on a collab video! I know I'm just going have to wait until after these holidays if you will still be down to work on something.
This was the first game I played on my Switch Lite, my first Nintendo console since my gameboy color in the late 90s.
It was a great game didn’t blow me away tho, the combat was a little to easy. But there were some times I absolutely had to look something up on a guide on the internet like when you are stuck in the forest in the very beginning of the game. I don’t have the patience for stuff like that lol.
I have never felt the urge to replay it like I do with 80% of the single player games I play. Maybe before Breath of the wild 2 comes out I’ll revisit it.
Please don’t be more like Scott the Woz he is entertaining but a little too try hardy if that’s even a word ;)
I'm not going to change anything up. This was a one time satire that I thought would make for a fun video.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the game. I played it at a really young age where I had plenty of time to burn figuring out all the little quirks it has. Trying to put time like that into a video now that I'm older, it doesn't happen often.
It is great that you take those comments and use them to your advantage, although your style is more neutral, which I like, I feel that it should be that way, only you explaining in that calm way without being the satire of another, I liked that conservative humor you did, keep being yourself, greetings from Mexico
Thanks for watching my videos! I’ll continue making videos in the style I’ve been doing in the past. I appreciate the kind words in your comment
@@NeanderMeander thanks to you, for making these videos, with such a unique way since your tone of voice is relaxing, which makes the videos pleasant, keep up the great work you do 😎
This is Scott the Woz on steroids.
I don’t think I can even touch how great Scott is. I appreciate the comparison though!
You can’t ever make everyone happy. I tried not being old in one of our more recent videos, turns out I’m 42 and since I don’t have Kardashian money or a team of plastic surgeons on speed dial I guess I’m just old 🤷🏼♀️
I enjoy your videos what ever way you do them. Apparently it never occurs to people that you can simply skip it and not comment if you have a problem. Weird!
You’re right, you can’t make everyone happy. There will always be people who feel the need to bring you down. I love the videos you make! They are extremely fun! The way you both interact with each other makes it feel like I’ve known you for a long time.
For this video, I thought I would use the comment and work with it by going to the extreme. It was fun doing something different. Though, I had to slip in a few really dramatic parts just to prove my point. Thanks for watching! It’s always great seeing comments from you.
If JerryRigEverything made gaming videos
Super enjoyable videos, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Lol this intro is great
Surprisingly, this video was tough to make. Adding all that party crap into it didn't make for easy shot changes.
I think you should definitely ignore the people who want more "fun" and "silliness". There are hundreds of other Nintendo-related RUclipsrs out there who thrive on that sort of thing, but sometimes you want something a little more serious. I've only just stumbled onto this channel today, but I MUCH prefer this serious style of video; it's unique and stands out way more to me.
Thank you for watching this video and commenting. As you can see, I'm not very good at making silly/fun videos. The arc of this video was to start out silly, transition slowly into a serious tone as I realized that all the characters in the game will disappear when Link wakes up, then "remember" that I was making a fun/silly video again at the end. I thought that would be a good way to show that I'm not changing my style to suit someone else's idea of how I should be making and writing videos. I hope that came across at least a little in the video.
@@NeanderMeander I actually thought this WAS a really fun video, proving that you can do well in both styles, and I did quite like the ending transitioning to a more serious tone.
But yes, I could have guessed from the snarky tone of this one (which is really just another facet of "fun" and "silly") that you would not be doing more videos in this style, and I'm glad to hear it; can't wait to see more :D
@@kryzethx Thank you! Wow, I didn't think I could pull it off.
I have a few videos in the pipeline right now.
Really good video and game!!
Thanks! The game is amazing
I have mixed feelings on this game. While I loved the art style and getting to play link's awakening on current gen hardware I hated the fps drops and the studdering on the screen. I really wish nintendo spent more time ensuring solid FPS on their games. If the FPS drops don't bother you and you can get the game on sale or for really cheap second hand then I say grab it and play it.
I’ve always wondered why Nintendo never updated this game to run more smoothly. Seems like something that could have gone a long way to show how much faith they have in the game and respect for the players.
@@NeanderMeander yeah if you look at mario kart, smart and mario odyssey they all run at a solid 60 fps. There's no reason they couldn't spend the time to make links awakening run at it too.
@@Captmorgann I totally agree with you on this!
Excellent use of streamers, great job
Haha! Thanks! I'm happy you watched this video. I kind of let loosened up and tried something different.
You forgot the secret ending of the remake though
I have the footage and planned on putting it at the end, but I totally spaced it yesterday when I finished the video. It's okay. I don't think this will be the last time I visit this game. It's my favorite Zelda game.
@@NeanderMeander sorry if my comment came off rude but yea this is my favorite and maybe forgetting it can make it a surprise for others.
you should make a video on hacking one of your 3ds systems. i recently did it and it’s insanely straightforward and could make for some good content
I've thought about doing that. My only worry is the process changing when the eshop goes down. It will make the video worthless if that happens. Though, who cares if it does, right?
the homebrew community has basically created their own eshop and suite of applications and it’s essentially like owning a new console, so i for one would love to see a video of yours on the topic
another random comment. i have never beaten smb3 and my goal is to beat it before the mario movie comes out speaking of which i better get busy.
It's a great game! I think you'll be able to get through it pretty quickly. It's not long of a game.
@@NeanderMeander I’m currently in world 3
@@neptunemacaw3354 Wow! That was fast!
@@NeanderMeander do you think any big youtubers like scottthewoz and beatemups will do a video tomorrow to salut the eshop?
@@neptunemacaw3354 I have no idea. I haven't watched any of their videos for a while. I should catch up on their latest stuff to see what their up to.
this is a channel for connoisseurs not kids ;)
just how i see it
I like this!
What book did you use at 2:20 ??
It's called: The Legend of Zelda - Art & Artifacts. It's a great book
@@NeanderMeander Thank you. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work
Your perfect
That's very kind of you to say! You are too
i love nm , post more vids
I'm working on a new one right now!
Fun 🎊
Fun, fun, fun!
fun
Fun, fun, fun!
@@NeanderMeander So much fun
I funning love you.
Haha! I may have overdone the fun part of it
@@NeanderMeander Nah this was amazing. LA was the game that convinced me to buy a Switch, I'm on a couple hours into it still, whooooooops.
I don't like humor made for babies, thanks.
Me neither
I don't really see what's wrong with your voice. It doesn't sound robotic but even if it did that would be less annoying than the prevalence of RUclipsrs with weird cadence and rising intonation.
Thanks! I agree, some of these video creators are way over the top
To whittle down Scott's humor into just screaming, it's insulting. He makes some of the most tightly written and clever youtube videos out there, you literally chose the worst person to make your point of "scream = funny." Like seriously, do you even watch his videos? I get the point you're trying to make, you were making fun of a hater. But in doing so, you hated on some youtuber who absolutely doesn't deserve it, falsely portraying his content. Taking a recurring joke out of context. You're better than this, and I mean that. You ARE better than this.
Whoa, I think you're taking this video way to seriously. This was a satire on a comment that means absolutely nothing. It is in noway a deep dive on what makes Scott the Woz a RUclips juggernaut and amazing talent. Yes, I have watched his videos and agree with you that he has some of the most tightly written and clever videos. This video wasn't meant to focus Scott or James (he was in that segment too). All shade was pointed at the comment left. I think you missed the entire point of the video. I added that into the video to show that I need to loosen up in my videos instead of being so serious about it. Obviously he's really good at making funny content and having people enjoy it. There's a reason why I chose those two people. They are great at what they do. I'm not sure why you're taking the Scott and AVGN section so personally.
@@NeanderMeander I understand your point, sorry. As someone from the outside, someone who doesn't watch your videos, it seemed like you were making a larger criticism on the youtube meta of screaming into a mic to make babies laugh. The assertion being that Scott was one of those youtubers, (since you were taking notes from him) and that you are one of the few youtubers above that sort of thing. I see now that it was ALL satire, which I knew it was to an extent of course. But with the overall sarcastic tone of the segment, I couldn't tell where the joke ended and where your actual thoughts began. You did mention your dry delivery after all, maybe that was a part of it. I shouldn't take things so seriously though, maybe I'm the one who needs to funny scream more.
@@EditUnivers75 You're good. I'm glad we were able to get on the same page. I have the utmost respect for Scott. He definitely doesn't make content for babies that I'm above. Far from! I really enjoy his videos! It would have made more sense if you would have seen any of my other videos. They are usually more dramatic in tone. This videos being the one video where I've deviated from that. I think it's great that you are so passionate about content creation. I hope to see you around here again.
The waffle house has found its new host
this is serial clickbaiting lmao
Yeah, it's probably the most clickbaity thumbnail I've made. I've steered away from this. My newer videos are more straightforward.
@@NeanderMeander did not expect such an honest answer. Congrats, you gained a new subscriber 😁😁🙏🏻✋🏻
@@S_F_S Awesome! Thank you! I hope you like the other videos I've made.
Amazing video, i love how you actually managed to take every criticism to heart, while still taking the piss out of everyone. Even though i like your normally more monotone and cold delivery, this was a very nice change of pace
I'm glad you liked it. I'll be honest, I wasn't sure how it would be received. I thought maybe I would have come off as being bitter and angry. I also wasn't sure if the jokes would land. Hopefully they did.
