My idea of a Zelda tv show would be an animated anthology series expanding on Zelda lore. Answer questions like Majora's Mask and Koholint IsIand, making them official to the canon. But this is amazing!
Too bad that the creator of missing link just got a threat from nintendo, apparently when they sue people they drag it out in order to make who they're offended by bankrupt, I'd be careful if anyone decides to do this.
Just how you showed Ganondorf at the temple of time and Links picks up the sword, but it instantly is put back and Navi leaves, like nothing ever happened. Link experienced a entire journey in the blink of a eye from Ganondorfs POV. This little showcase blew my mind to think about. I love seeing this Confused Ganondorf like "What just happened?"
In the original timeline which is the adult timeline, ganondorf walked into the blue light and entered the sacred realm while link froze for 7 years. But when zelda sends link back in time, she sends link back to the point where ganon sees the blue light but didnt enter the blue light thus creating the childhood timeline as shown in this video. this ganondorf had no idea he was defeated in the future timeline
"Wtf happened" "Oh I just clapped all your cronies, the witches that raised you, then ran up on you and dogged you in both forms before porking the princess and heading back to my childhood."
@@lifes40123 I know this fan made but this sort of created a error of Ganondorf see young Link, which is supposed to be the end of OoT and into Majora Mask, it created an error because you had to go back to your young self twice because of the Kakariko Village / Shadow Temple and Spirit Temple throughout OoT. You had to go back into the past to get the Eye of Truth, so you cant beat the shadow temple boss and Silver Gauntlets. But with that scene you just see Link timeskip to 7 years and comes back with the triforce of Courge in his hand. It just doesn't make much sense.
Everyone's talking about the Deku Tree Sprout scene, but it was his reunion with Skull Kid that made me tear up. After all these years, they're still close friends.
As soon as I saw Skull Kid I immediately started sobbing, that whole ending with them was so emotional for me since MM was my first Zelda and has always been my fav
The narrator was Sean Chiplock, the VA that voices the Great Deku Tree and Revali in Breath of the Wild. That's freaking awesome! Incredible work on this!👏👌🙏
I like how after so long, Navi has been vindicated by history and fans. No longer is she the patronizing fairy. She is, and always has been, Link's true friend.
I straight up cried when I beat this game for the first time when I was 10. Exactly when Navi flew out that window. Link already lost his childhood, you watch in the credits how the realm rejoices, yet mourns the loss of the Sages, as does Link, you see Epona running free and that tugs at the ol ducts, and then Link returns the sword and his oldest, most trustworthy, determined friend ups and leaves without a word. That shit hurts still
I'm sure there's still people who still hate her, however it's clear among the fan base that people are starting to come around and really starting to appreciate Navi for not only her relationship to Link, but her importance to Ocarina of Time and even the Zelda Series as a whole. Early in development of Ocarina of Time, Nintendo didn't really have much of a definitive story for the game, they were mostly just experimenting with what they could do. You can see this clearly in early footage of the game before release. They were mostly just trying to master a 3d world and game mechanics more than the story itself. This all changed with Navi however. When Nintendo created Z-targeting, they felt it was a bit bland and decided to add something else to it: A fairy, who would later become known as Navi. It wasn't until Navi's creation that the story of the greatest game of all time began to really take shape. A game that would have tremendous affects on not only Zelda, but all of gaming itself. All because of that little forest fairy, Navi. So when people say they hate Navi, they need to remember that without her, not only would Ocarina of Time not exist, Zelda would likely be nowhere near the status it holds today. Not to mention how it would affect the gaming industry would be huge.
Taking off the sword and instantly putting it back. Then Navi leaves. Bro, this was so awesome when I realised what happened. But Ganon didn't. Only you could think of something so awesome. Major, we salute you!!!
Wait, is that why Navi leaves without saying anything? Because she was outside of non-time? No, she is a fae, she would of at least felt something about the time Deus Machina.
I LOVE that scene with skull kid saying to play hide and seek next time because if that’s the last time you see him it makes sooooo much sense why you’re playing that when you see him in twilight princess 😭
Skull Kid: "Next time we meet, let's play hide and seek" _100 years later_ *TP Link enters forest* Skull Kid: "You left me waiting, let's play hide and seek now!" TP Link: *Aggressively hunts Skull Kid down, stabbing him with his sword and impaling him with arrows*
Seeing the Temple of Time scene from Ganondorf's perspective is absolutely amazing. Never once thought about what he must have seen, and see everything happen in the blink of an eye.
You've brought me back. Back to a time when fans of zelda would make their own animations/music remixes/fanfictions. Back when youtube was a very simple platform. Back to when Twilight Princess was just a rumor and the timelines were a heated discussion. Back to when I saw the world with color and had wild imaginations of the kind of adventures and trials the Hero's Shade went through during the aftermath of the 7 year war. With all the zelda fans growing up and putting a stop to their creativity to focus on life, you made this and brought me back to a happier place and time. Thank you. Never stop what you are doing.
you literally took the words right out of my mouth, YES! i went back to my vibrant childhood full of imagination and creativity!!! And you literally do get that warm feeling inside remembering those day!
Absolutely beautiful video. The way you re-created the Temple of Time sequence is absolutely GENIUS. If Zelda truly DID send him back to that point in the past, it absolutely makes sense that Gannondorf would see Link pull the sword, and then see him return it at the end of his journey in one flash. Just incredible. Can't wait for the next episode!
Though there would also be that weird sequence where he suddenly came back when to Kakoriko Village and caused it to rain in the windmill draining the well then climbing into it
True about the well however I always saw her sending him back by use of the ocarina of time negated the pulling the sword in the first place at least at the end. But it does make sense more sense for Ganondorf to see him reappear after disappearing but that also mean the ocarina can put the master back in the pedestal of time as well.
Major link actually did a video with that a while ago, its his "lost" series and its absolutely brilliant. Will definitely slap you right in the feels, id highly recommended checking it out.
@@pyriel6870 ik, ive seen it while beening released, good series but major link seriers dont really tie in with each other and also their both different links, also this is a joke comment lmao
@@lockthatgoddamndoor the great fairy sword shouldn't be in his arsenal if we go by the fact that Link uses the weapons from oot instead of mm, otherwise yeah, the great fairy sword should be his strongest weapon
@@Xtheartist465 doesnt he have the gilded sword, mirror shield, and hookshot from mm tho? (his oot adult stuff is still in either the sacred realm or the future)
@@lockthatgoddamndoor oh wait you're right, i didn't really remember that, mb, but i don't think he used it against ganon in the little duel they had, so maybe he doesn't have it? idk
Link stopping for a moment to gaze upon his old house just sent shivers down my spine. To think this hero (the hero of time) began his whole journey all because of Navi waking him out of bed in that same house. Honestly such a nice, brought back full circle detail there
I was actually hoping that Skull Kid would have been sent to the past or something by accident. He is using the Ocarina of Time after all, not the Saria's one...
@@krosis_lockwood I think it has to be done by the chosen one of the goddess does it not? I could be wrong though. And I kind of thought the same thing. The color of the forest slightly changed as he played it so I thought something might happen too
I love the way Links speech bubbles are like he's deciding what to say. And I love the detail of link has out grown the green tunic and has a brown one. Dude and the animation is fluent too and doesn't look stiff or unnatural. And gosh it was emotional too. Can't wait for part 2!
I'm gonna call it, Skull Kid's new purpose is going to be guarding the Master Sword. It's setting up Twilight Princess, that's why in the next one the higher ranking knights wear the same armor as The Hero's Shade.
I was about to comment about how skull kids cant leave the forest and then I remembered in TP the location of the master sword is moved to the sacred grove, or TP's version of the lost woods, works perfectly!
Really? Coming from Mattpat's theory I always thought it was simply that the next rank is the Royal Family Guard. Similar to the ones around the hedge garden that Link hides from to find Princess Zelda.
@@lunyxappocalypse7071 If you play Twilight Princess, the Hero's Shade's armor is exactly the same. It's also been (loosely) confirmed that the hero of time becomes the hero's shade. I also heard a theory (don't remember who's it was) that the skull kid in TP is also guarding the soul of the Hero of Time. This is based on the fact that, for some unknown reason, the skull kid seems to be carrying a po lantern. There were more details, of course, but it was an interesting theory and i really liked it. It'd be cool to see that theory implemented.
i REALLY don't want to say like an spoiler but... Remember when Twilight Princes Link finds the Master Sword with the help of a skull kid...? A chance to redeem himself...
_"It is enough for me, just to believe."_ This is such a powerful statement. People who can honestly say this in real life have a sort of strength that humbles me. I could only hope to be as strong.
I’m still trying to figure out how Majorlink created a scene where 2 of the characters cannot physically emote, 1 has no facial expressions, and the last is all but silent...and it nearly brought me to tears. The only way I can reason is magic. Wonderful job, beautiful music, and I cannot wait to see more!!
As hard as it is to animate a Zelda action scene, it’s harder to do a slower paced, contemplative story full of genuine heart and reflection. All of you nailed this. The soft, gentle music, heart warming scene amidst tragic backdrops, and loving reunion and a style for Link himself that I rather enjoy. And you animated his face wonderfully! Thank you for sharing.
That's one of the reasons I love Majorlink's vidoes. He really lets us slow down, breathe, reflect, and really get to know the characters as they are. While other stories focus mostly on how many bad guys the hero can mow down, these videos focus on the characters themselves.
First, I *shrieked* when you closed the time loop in the Temple, omg, genius! Second, the warm earth tones of Link's design really suit him. Mostly, I love how you've characterized Link in all your vids; he's such an earnest sweetheart
One of the reasons why Nintendo finds it hard and messy to create a complete and whole ''Zelda timeline'', is because they never ment for the games to have an overarching timeline in the first place, and it's all in the name, ''THE LEGEND of Zelda'', a legend is a story told multiple time, often having a few changes here and there depending on the mouth that tells the tale, and the tale might even change from generation to generation-- but a LEGEND, even if changing, always holds true to the purpose of the legend-- Which in this case, is the story of Zelda, Hyrule, and the age old tale of good versus evil. My point is: All Zelda games, were originally, most likely intended to be ''the same story'', if that makes sense, but just like old legends gone down through generations by word of mouth, they are bound to be told differently each time.
That isn't true as the games sometimes directly refer to one another and some are obvious sequels. Obvious sequels are Zelda 2 to Zelda, Majora's Mask to Ocarina of Time, A Link Between Worlds to A Link to the Past and the DS games to Wind Waker. Ocarina of Time was also quite noticeably based on the backstory of A Link to the Past. The connections beyond that are just messy but Breath of the Wild is obviously not telling the same story as Sprit Tracks. I agree that they never intended a timeline initially and they don't focus on it now either.
@@Supaninjafication Surely you are correct that there are direct sequels and prequels, but my comment was more in reference to ''the spirit of the Zelda games'', if that makes sense? And surely Nintendo have attempted to create a overarching timeline, but most of that is due to the pressure from fans, more than what Nintendo initially intended. While the games obviously don't have the same characters and story, they all attempt to tell the age old tale of good versus evil, and the story of Zelda, Link and Ganon, in some form-- It's like the legendary old stories of the past, they are told numerous times and down the line those stories are ment to portray the same story, and often finds itself with the same conclusion, but the story leading up to that conclusion often change over time from generation to generation.
I'd go even farther and saw its likely that they never intended for an overarching timeline and it only became a thing once cinematic universes became a thing back around the 2010s. after that, they decided to cash in. not a complaint mind you, I bought into it. I literally spent money on the historia. Even so, I think its cool that they listened to fans and made an established timeline.
@@bobmalibaliyahmarley1551 Speaking of sequels, there's also the fact that Majora's Mask was only made because of how valuable OoT's assets were to Nintendo at the time. Even the director for MM didn't really like how MM turned out. So if looked at it that way, OoT ended with the meeting of Link and Zelda. This whole connected timeline the fans are pushing for is just a mess because the games, as you stated, weren't really supposed to have some sort of 30yrs intricate connected gaming plot. They are just retellings of the same characters or story. Its also almost like 99% of the fandom just wont admit that the eternal reincarnation of Link, Zelda, and Ganon are just a way for Nintendo to keep reselling their Legend of Zelda franchise to make bank. There's even the fact BotW had voice acting because interest in Zelda was dying over the years so they did that to hopefully revamp the next installment and it worked. Imagine being a hardcore LoZ fan theorist lying in a hospital bed on your last breath thinking if Nintendo would ever make a LoZ game that would end the cycle of reincarnation so the 3 characters can finally rest....*facepalm*
Your mistaken, Ocarina of time was always meant to introduce the timeline splitting. Even before that during A link to the past Miyamotto had a document detailing what he wanted to do about the timeline. The truth is Aounuma started the timeline with OOT and then Skyward sword was meant to tie it all together.
Everyone talking about the Deku scrub and skull kid part, but When he heard the fairy sound and started running desperately through the forest.. that got my heart pumping and emotional. Thank you for this! ❤ 🌱
"I've learned to accept the little things I can do. Like being here for them... In case they choose to return. Even if it never happens. It's enough for me, just to believe." The Deku Tree's Son Dude!! I lost it on that. And all the small details, like how the music when Link found the Skull Kid was a variation on the Clock Town theme! Killer job man, once again. You do not disappoint. Thanks so much for making one part of 2020 nice. I will be waiting for the next one!!
This first episode was both incredibly sad and wholesome. My heart just snapped in half after seeing how sad little Link looked after putting the master sword back but I smiled the whole time Link reunited with Skull kid, Tatl, and Tael. This series looks great and I can't wait to binge watch this all.
Basically Link and Ganondorf of this history: “You Took Away EVERYTHING From Me”. “I Don't Even Know Who You Are”. And i think, more than the meme, it's tragic and nails. Ganondorf took away everything from Link. His childhood, his innocence, his friend, everything. And when this Link sees Ganondorf, he probably would saw him with almost hate and anger. But for Ganon, this is just the Boy who ruined his plan. He is not his mortal enemy. He just...doesn't know him.
As a person whose first real legend of Zelda game was Ocarina of Time. This video bring absolute joy to me. Subscribed and put my bell on for your content. Keep up the amazing work. It’s tough work to animate but one can feel the labor of love that went into this. From one fan to another, thank you, truly.
good gosh man, this is amazing, The way you did the scene with link chasing after navi and then meeting skull kid was phenomenal. On one hand it was absolutely heart-wrenching, tugging at the heartstrings in a way that is very authentically Zelda. also, how you had link leaning up against the stump after he trying to find navi, desparing over things, in the same position as the old man who was lost to the forest in the biggoron sword quest, and then had waking him up being skull kids entrance. I'm (almost) speechless. This contributes perfectly to Oot's heart wrenching story, and keeping its sense of adventure, just with Link's enthusiasm tempered by his sadness.
So this is how the Kokiri became the Koroks: the children who never aged grew more forestlike as time went on, or perhaps, as their new protector took time to grow strong enough to protect them
Rarely does Nintendo ever go into what the different heroes do after their journeys end. You provide in such a special way. Keep on doing what you’re doing.
That was interesting and I felt a little teary eyed when Skull kid asked him to come back an play hide and seek, only to learn his original friend never did. Really looking forward to the next piece.
I think this raises a very interesting point that most who played the game in its hayday, and even the developers, never thought we stopped to consider: Could Link really go back to a normal life after everything he'd seen? I think this animation brings a very realistic light to this. Link may have been intended to be a blank slate, for us to project ourselves onto. But by that definition, what would we all become had we seen what he had seen?
Speak for yourself, i'd love a cdi reboot. I'd be great if those games could be properly done. If you examine the plots of both, there are great fantasy stories in them. The problem is the jankness of the CDI really screwed them over... and the fact the writer had some weird fascination with ye olde english.
As a kid OOT was my first Zelda game I completed, then MM. I've always loved both games. And the old style of graphics. This video hits home. Seeing a grown link with the guilded sword and MM mirror shield is dope. Everything about this is simply amazing.
In general form our point of view sure navy is a bit of a pain but you have to remember that link waited and wanted his fairy his whole Childhood this isnt just a wait hey listen thing for him he was raised kokiri and not having a fairy made him feel .. less..
Somewhere in my mind I hoped that the journey was looking for Saria. She and kokiri in general vanished into the ether, and we haven’t seen them appear at all since Ocarina.
Imagine we all hated Navi when playing the game and now we're all crying in front of this video. Absolutely amazing video, you managed to put into the video the emotions we felt while playing the game. The 3D animation is on point aswell. I'll make sure to share this everywhere I can. Thank you.
"In hopes of finding his closest friend." "If you can call someone a friend you will stay bonded together no matter what" Message: This is something we all need to do, find a really good friend an keep them close, because you only find a really good friend once in a lifetime.
a really heavy burden that he carried, seeing so many loved ones leaving behind without knowing if he would meet again, the suffering on the journey itself and how sad his second journey in Termina Field was, him keeping all of this without venting a little with someone and when I had the chance it was a short conversation, with Zelda or Saria.. Link is the greatest hero ever in the history of video games
12:21 words cannot express how much I love this moment, Link immediately popping back in after being sent back to the past by Zelda right before Ganondorf enters is a stroke of genius
This is the one that started it all! The very first. Holy CRAP!! This is just so cool! Major Link, I hope you know how special this series is for us Zelda fans. Can't wait for episode 6 which finally has it's own trailer! Keep up the good work, my lad!! I can't say how thankful I am for this!😁😁
Everything here always gives me goosebumps. I love that the focus of these animations lies less on graphics and more on emotion through sound design, that's my absolute favourite kind of animation.
I can’t believe this is my first time seeing this channel… the algorithm finally blessed me with this video (on autoplay of all things, what the hell??? It is criminal you are not on the freaking top zelda recommend content page, point blank period). Forreal when I needed it most I can’t believe how lucky I am to get to see the rest of your works. This is the best creation I have seen on RUclips on all fronts. Majoras Mask hits me hard, yo. You have a grown ass woman bawling at 3am. And y
Major link...As a fan of Zelda and its lore since I was 3. You've made the most amazing thing ive ever seen it beautifully captures how it would really be between Oot and Tp. I honestly cried seeing link go through his emotions seeing link be more expressive and just seeing his tunic change from his green tunic through his harrowing journey to a dull and somber brown as a older more experienced link with sadness riddle about him! You've honestly made me so happy because through out my childhood I have nothing but bad shit and terrible things happen to me...but Zelda has always been an escape for me ive played every single one because love the universe that much! It made me relate to link....he was thrust into a shit hand like me...This Experience of 1 just 1 episode has me so greatful to be here to finally see what these stories would look like! Thank you major link
Holy crap, this has to be the best Zelda animation I have ever seen! The attention to the small details is especially well done, and really makes this whole project come alive. I cannot wait to watch more episodes
This was world class storytelling. You took everything that you and many of us hold special in our hearts and implemented it FLAWLESSLY into this video and story. This was honestly amazing. It made me smile. Laugh. Sad. Nostalgic. Wonder. Remember. Everything that a great story does. Amazing work. I can't wait for the next one
I was wondering why 13:20 invoked this melancholy, wistful feeling inside me, and then it hit me. The music choice of Courage for this scene, in addition to Link's sad face. What we're seeing here is an addendum to the final scene in Ocarina of Time where Navi leaves Link. At the end of Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess's music begins to play. It's basically highlighting that this is the point where Link stops mattering in the most important sense. His time's over, things won't pick up again until Twilight Princess. Destiny has come and gone, and the look on Link's face clearly shows he knows this. Now imagine feeling that after being forced to grow up and raid a bunch of monster-infested temples after seeing your childhood home and nearly every other place overrun by Ganondorf's evil, fighting to the death against the Evil King, and then just switching to a new timeline like with Rick and Morty. It invokes a similar feeling of existential nihilism, but it takes a different approach. Whereas R&M is about accepting that, Link is holding onto the idea that it all has to have some kind of meaning. Too much happened way too fast, and in the end, it's questionable as to whether or not it actually mattered. As a result, Link is feeling unfulfilled, despite being a big damn hero. Everything's changed, and he doesn't know where to go from there. It makes me wonder: did he want to find Navi only because he missed her, or was also to get back a piece of the life he'd lost?
I will forever cry over Navi I swear- you have a great way of taking the emotions that are just harsh and shoving them at you Not an insult, it’s a talent that I hope you see as good
You know, even after all of what happened, it still seems odd to me that Navi simply left Link. Why? What happened in between them? That could help determine the reason.
@@axelarias8110 I assumed Navi leaves because her task from the great deku tree had been fulfilled. Fairies are suppose to be guardians/parents of the eternal children, the Kokiri, but since Link was a hylian he would have to eventually learn to grow. Zelda sent Link back in time to live his childhood years, but Navi left so he could go on to become his adult self. Could be why the two fairies in MM have no issues being around Skull Kid, since he too is forever stuck as a child.
@@FishyFujialso at least to me it represents the little bit of links innocence that was left leaving Also come to Jesus if you haven’t. He’s the only one that can satisfy you in your life :)
Skull Kid is a better thief than Sakon and all the thieves in zelda. He's even better than Link, who didn't even notice. 😂😂😂 Thief who steals from thief has 100 years of forgiveness. 😁
The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. This game marked my life completely. Every time I finish playing it, it leaves me with a great emptiness and I can't help but cry for all that Link had to go through. When Link remembers Navi and remembers everything he went through, it makes me want to run and hug him and tell him: It's all right, I remember you, I know what you went through. You are not alone. My friend, I haven't stopped crying, you did a wonderful job. Congratulations, it is a masterpiece. 😭😭😭😭😭
Come to Jesus if u haven’t he will fulfill you with happiness that will leave you fully satisfied unlike anything else in this world :) if you need evidence I can give it just reply to this comment.
The saddest parts of the video is Navi, when we were kids we didnt know what to do but navi was there to help guide our way. When a boss gave us hard times navi was there to help us out not only that but help our trials and great tribulations, it saddens me that she isnt with link anymore even though she was a great companion/friend to him.
Oot Link has the most tragic story of all Links Spoiler He lost his "father" He lost his childhood He failed to prevent the distruction of Hyrule He lost his friends He defeated Ganon, but he never got to be remembered as an hero as he was sent back in time. The timeline he left ended up to be without the spirit of the hero, so he couldn' t incarnated to defeat Ganondorf again and the land had to be flooded to seal him. He found out he couldn't return to be the kid he once was. He failed again to prevent the distruction of Hyrule. He married Malon and had some children, which he wanted to train to fight so that his future descendants would have been able to defeat Ganodorf. He got killed young, full of regrets because of his failures and nobody remembered him.😢😭
The Same Happened In Breath Of The Wild Where Link Also Failed To Protect Hyrule Was Put In Slumber For 100 Years And Because Of Not Only Her Sealing Power Of What The Princess Had Done In Ocarina Of Time
@@videosagradables Yes, but just because Nintendo didn't confirm it yet, doesn't mean it isn't clearly canon. I mean, before Nintendo released the official timeline, the split timeline was considered a headcanon too, but the games were clearly designed after it. Same goes for Malink.
The Zelda movie fans deserves, and the one we need right now. So we'll watch it. Because we can take it. Because he's not any hero. He's a Hyrule guardian, a watchful protector. A Hero of Time. But really awesome work!!! The nostalgia here it's not normal 😭
You all have done something not many could do. This goes perfectly with the lore of zelda and its very dark. Thank you for the entertainment for the evening and I'll do all I can to support this project.
This takes place in the child timeline cause majoras mask is in the child timeline and heros purpose takes place after majoras mask but yes he does die but not before majoras mask.
This is phenomenal!! It baffles me that the Hero of Time still has such a large gap of untold journeys between Majora’s Mask and his appearance as the Hero’s Shade in Twilight Princess. Well done! 👏🏼
Idk how I ended up here. I‘ve been a fan of Zelda games since Childhood. And especially OoT has a big deep meaning for me. I usually don‘t comment on RUclips Videos but I‘m just so amazed by this series. It‘s in the middle of the night and I was literally bawling my eyes out tons of times while watching this bcs of nostalgia..thank you so much for creating this🙌🏻
I know Ive already commented once, but GOD do I need to say this. The Temple of Time section was masterfully done. The rising dread as we the audience knows whats about to happen but Link doesnt was beautiful. The music was amazing in that moment and I love it all. Thank you for an amazing first episode.
''He felt that maybe coming home would help him find his new purpose, a way to forgive himself.'' Hits even harder after Episode 5, DAMN, THE FORESHADOW
Hero's Purpose Episode 4 out March 25th! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for your patience!
Really looking forward to it.
Your welcome

What do you make your videos in
Amazing! This serie is a masterpiece.
Nintendo: doesn’t want to make a tv series about the hero of time
Major link: fine I’ll do it myself
Are you implying that Majorlink is Thanos?
Nintendo sees video
Monitize because nintendo
My idea of a Zelda tv show would be an animated anthology series expanding on Zelda lore. Answer questions like Majora's Mask and Koholint IsIand, making them official to the canon. But this is amazing!
Too bad that the creator of missing link just got a threat from nintendo, apparently when they sue people they drag it out in order to make who they're offended by bankrupt, I'd be careful if anyone decides to do this.
Pretty sure they wouldn't do as good a job as Major Link 😉
Just how you showed Ganondorf at the temple of time and Links picks up the sword, but it instantly is put back and Navi leaves, like nothing ever happened. Link experienced a entire journey in the blink of a eye from Ganondorfs POV. This little showcase blew my mind to think about. I love seeing this Confused Ganondorf like "What just happened?"
this went over my head and clears up my confusion about that part
I thought the same thing... this was brilliantly done
In the original timeline which is the adult timeline, ganondorf walked into the blue light and entered the sacred realm while link froze for 7 years. But when zelda sends link back in time, she sends link back to the point where ganon sees the blue light but didnt enter the blue light thus creating the childhood timeline as shown in this video. this ganondorf had no idea he was defeated in the future timeline
"Wtf happened"
"Oh I just clapped all your cronies, the witches that raised you, then ran up on you and dogged you in both forms before porking the princess and heading back to my childhood."
@@lifes40123 I know this fan made but this sort of created a error of Ganondorf see young Link, which is supposed to be the end of OoT and into Majora Mask, it created an error because you had to go back to your young self twice because of the Kakariko Village / Shadow Temple and Spirit Temple throughout OoT. You had to go back into the past to get the Eye of Truth, so you cant beat the shadow temple boss and Silver Gauntlets. But with that scene you just see Link timeskip to 7 years and comes back with the triforce of Courge in his hand. It just doesn't make much sense.
Everyone's talking about the Deku Tree Sprout scene, but it was his reunion with Skull Kid that made me tear up. After all these years, they're still close friends.
Yup and the Skull Kid will have an important role to play here. He will end up guarding the Master Sword and meeting his descendant
@@iwasanMBTInerd You replied today? :O
As soon as I saw Skull Kid I immediately started sobbing, that whole ending with them was so emotional for me since MM was my first Zelda and has always been my fav
They won't get to play tag. Tp link has gotta do it for him.
@@cryotin5460 ikr the little carving he made in the tree of him and link at the end made me cry tears of happiness
Link looked so sad and lost after coming back from his adventure, the Hero of Time seriously had the saddest life ever
A heroes journey is a lonely one.
yes, he deserved more
Indeed, from two adventures that had his history erased.
Not only that, he became a skeleton to train a later link

Incredible work on this!👏👌🙏
Wait really
That's nuts
WOAH COOL!!! I love botw 🤩🤩
And Rean in Trails of Cold Steel.
WAIT WHAT!!! THAT’S AWESOME!!! I already need the next episode!
I like how after so long, Navi has been vindicated by history and fans. No longer is she the patronizing fairy. She is, and always has been, Link's true friend.
I straight up cried when I beat this game for the first time when I was 10. Exactly when Navi flew out that window. Link already lost his childhood, you watch in the credits how the realm rejoices, yet mourns the loss of the Sages, as does Link, you see Epona running free and that tugs at the ol ducts, and then Link returns the sword and his oldest, most trustworthy, determined friend ups and leaves without a word. That shit hurts still
Shes my fav, sure she can be annoying but shes still an awsome companion
I'm sure there's still people who still hate her, however it's clear among the fan base that people are starting to come around and really starting to appreciate Navi for not only her relationship to Link, but her importance to Ocarina of Time and even the Zelda Series as a whole. Early in development of Ocarina of Time, Nintendo didn't really have much of a definitive story for the game, they were mostly just experimenting with what they could do. You can see this clearly in early footage of the game before release. They were mostly just trying to master a 3d world and game mechanics more than the story itself. This all changed with Navi however. When Nintendo created Z-targeting, they felt it was a bit bland and decided to add something else to it: A fairy, who would later become known as Navi. It wasn't until Navi's creation that the story of the greatest game of all time began to really take shape. A game that would have tremendous affects on not only Zelda, but all of gaming itself. All because of that little forest fairy, Navi. So when people say they hate Navi, they need to remember that without her, not only would Ocarina of Time not exist, Zelda would likely be nowhere near the status it holds today. Not to mention how it would affect the gaming industry would be huge.

She is my alert tone on my phone. When I get a text I always hear her **Hey!!!**
Taking off the sword and instantly putting it back. Then Navi leaves. Bro, this was so awesome when I realised what happened. But Ganon didn't. Only you could think of something so awesome. Major, we salute you!!!
i think he didn't put it back zelda made him return 7 year to the past with the ocarina
@@Whuman2 Well, yes, but this is what appeared to happen outside of Non-time. Wait, is that why Navi leaves without saying anything?
Wait, is that why Navi leaves without saying anything? Because she was outside of non-time? No, she is a fae, she would of at least felt something about the time Deus Machina.

I LOVE that scene with skull kid saying to play hide and seek next time because if that’s the last time you see him it makes sooooo much sense why you’re playing that when you see him in twilight princess 😭
Never thought of that while watching it but it make sense
Kust as if i wasn't crying enough i see this comment😭😭😭😭😭
Skull Kid: "Next time we meet, let's play hide and seek"
_100 years later_
*TP Link enters forest*
Skull Kid: "You left me waiting, let's play hide and seek now!"
TP Link: *Aggressively hunts Skull Kid down, stabbing him with his sword and impaling him with arrows*
I loved the reference so much!
ohhhhhhhhhh noooooooooo I just realized what that meant! 😭
THE TREMBLING LIP IN THE FLASHBACK WENT AND GOT ME YOU MONSTER!!!
Seeing the Temple of Time scene from Ganondorf's perspective is absolutely amazing. Never once thought about what he must have seen, and see everything happen in the blink of an eye.
You've brought me back. Back to a time when fans of zelda would make their own animations/music remixes/fanfictions. Back when youtube was a very simple platform. Back to when Twilight Princess was just a rumor and the timelines were a heated discussion. Back to when I saw the world with color and had wild imaginations of the kind of adventures and trials the Hero's Shade went through during the aftermath of the 7 year war.
With all the zelda fans growing up and putting a stop to their creativity to focus on life, you made this and brought me back to a happier place and time. Thank you. Never stop what you are doing.
In my experience, well written fanfictions of any medium on youtube are harder to find nowadays, but they're still around regardless.
fuck, now I'm getting flashbacks from a time when I first heard of RUclips
you literally took the words right out of my mouth, YES! i went back to my vibrant childhood full of imagination and creativity!!! And you literally do get that warm feeling inside remembering those day!
Its enough to make a grown man cry................
.......and thats ok
I think the same.
Thanks for bringing back these feelings :)
Greetings from Venezuela!
Absolutely beautiful video. The way you re-created the Temple of Time sequence is absolutely GENIUS. If Zelda truly DID send him back to that point in the past, it absolutely makes sense that Gannondorf would see Link pull the sword, and then see him return it at the end of his journey in one flash. Just incredible. Can't wait for the next episode!
Right
Though there would also be that weird sequence where he suddenly came back when to Kakoriko Village and caused it to rain in the windmill draining the well then climbing into it
I agree with you 100%
True about the well however I always saw her sending him back by use of the ocarina of time negated the pulling the sword in the first place at least at the end. But it does make sense more sense for Ganondorf to see him reappear after disappearing but that also mean the ocarina can put the master back in the pedestal of time as well.
@@dotblank1198 Exactly even the young Link spirit temple segment would've been awkward... Time travel is dangerous hahaha

@@lockthatgoddamndoor oh wait you're right, i didn't really remember that, mb, but i don't think he used it against ganon in the little duel they had, so maybe he doesn't have it? idk
Link stopping for a moment to gaze upon his old house just sent shivers down my spine.
To think this hero (the hero of time) began his whole journey all because of Navi waking him out of bed in that same house.
Honestly such a nice, brought back full circle detail there
It was beautiful! That moment gave me so much closure 😂
*Skull Kid plays Song of Time, Link is crushed by a giant blue block*

I was actually hoping that Skull Kid would have been sent to the past or something by accident.
He is using the Ocarina of Time after all, not the Saria's one...
@@krosis_lockwood I think it has to be done by the chosen one of the goddess does it not? I could be wrong though. And I kind of thought the same thing. The color of the forest slightly changed as he played it so I thought something might happen too
Th sw reason that time didnt rewind is because zelda from termina or should I say goddess of time as tatl puts it was what was doing it.
@@RandoGamer947 Goddess of Time is not Zelda.
I love the way Links speech bubbles are like he's deciding what to say. And I love the detail of link has out grown the green tunic and has a brown one. Dude and the animation is fluent too and doesn't look stiff or unnatural. And gosh it was emotional too. Can't wait for part 2!
I think the brow tunic meant he just hasnt washed his or gotten a new one in 7 years.
I'm gonna call it, Skull Kid's new purpose is going to be guarding the Master Sword. It's setting up Twilight Princess, that's why in the next one the higher ranking knights wear the same armor as The Hero's Shade.
link's hide and seek promise made me think of TP skull kid and TP link who basically do a hide and seek
@@shadowtheshadowlord exactly
I was about to comment about how skull kids cant leave the forest and then I remembered in TP the location of the master sword is moved to the sacred grove, or TP's version of the lost woods, works perfectly!
Really? Coming from Mattpat's theory I always thought it was simply that the next rank is the Royal Family Guard. Similar to the ones around the hedge garden that Link hides from to find Princess Zelda.
@@lunyxappocalypse7071 If you play Twilight Princess, the Hero's Shade's armor is exactly the same. It's also been (loosely) confirmed that the hero of time becomes the hero's shade.
I also heard a theory (don't remember who's it was) that the skull kid in TP is also guarding the soul of the Hero of Time. This is based on the fact that, for some unknown reason, the skull kid seems to be carrying a po lantern. There were more details, of course, but it was an interesting theory and i really liked it. It'd be cool to see that theory implemented.

_"It is enough for me, just to believe."_
This is such a powerful statement. People who can honestly say this in real life have a sort of strength that humbles me. I could only hope to be as strong.
I’m still trying to figure out how Majorlink created a scene where 2 of the characters cannot physically emote, 1 has no facial expressions, and the last is all but silent...and it nearly brought me to tears. The only way I can reason is magic.
Wonderful job, beautiful music, and I cannot wait to see more!!
truly beautiful and amazing!
I love how well this blends the OoT fanbase with the MajMask fanbase in a realistic and canonical fashion
Either way it is still the same Link; The Hero of Time.
Uh, Twilight Princess too, remember, the Hero's Shade
@@harbinger9231 yes but this is a good interpretation that doesn’t just vaguely skip over to TP
As hard as it is to animate a Zelda action scene, it’s harder to do a slower paced, contemplative story full of genuine heart and reflection. All of you nailed this. The soft, gentle music, heart warming scene amidst tragic backdrops, and loving reunion and a style for Link himself that I rather enjoy. And you animated his face wonderfully! Thank you for sharing.
That's one of the reasons I love Majorlink's vidoes. He really lets us slow down, breathe, reflect, and really get to know the characters as they are. While other stories focus mostly on how many bad guys the hero can mow down, these videos focus on the characters themselves.
First, I *shrieked* when you closed the time loop in the Temple, omg, genius! Second, the warm earth tones of Link's design really suit him. Mostly, I love how you've characterized Link in all your vids; he's such an earnest sweetheart
The Fact you used the Smash Model For Ganondorf is Pure Genius.
The Smash model for Ganondorf is basically a better version of the Ocarina of Time version.
@@rainehappy7097 I agree!
One of the reasons why Nintendo finds it hard and messy to create a complete and whole ''Zelda timeline'', is because they never ment for the games to have an overarching timeline in the first place, and it's all in the name, ''THE LEGEND of Zelda'', a legend is a story told multiple time, often having a few changes here and there depending on the mouth that tells the tale, and the tale might even change from generation to generation-- but a LEGEND, even if changing, always holds true to the purpose of the legend-- Which in this case, is the story of Zelda, Hyrule, and the age old tale of good versus evil. My point is: All Zelda games, were originally, most likely intended to be ''the same story'', if that makes sense, but just like old legends gone down through generations by word of mouth, they are bound to be told differently each time.
That isn't true as the games sometimes directly refer to one another and some are obvious sequels. Obvious sequels are Zelda 2 to Zelda, Majora's Mask to Ocarina of Time, A Link Between Worlds to A Link to the Past and the DS games to Wind Waker. Ocarina of Time was also quite noticeably based on the backstory of A Link to the Past.
The connections beyond that are just messy but Breath of the Wild is obviously not telling the same story as Sprit Tracks. I agree that they never intended a timeline initially and they don't focus on it now either.
@@Supaninjafication Surely you are correct that there are direct sequels and prequels, but my comment was more in reference to ''the spirit of the Zelda games'', if that makes sense? And surely Nintendo have attempted to create a overarching timeline, but most of that is due to the pressure from fans, more than what Nintendo initially intended. While the games obviously don't have the same characters and story, they all attempt to tell the age old tale of good versus evil, and the story of Zelda, Link and Ganon, in some form-- It's like the legendary old stories of the past, they are told numerous times and down the line those stories are ment to portray the same story, and often finds itself with the same conclusion, but the story leading up to that conclusion often change over time from generation to generation.
I'd go even farther and saw its likely that they never intended for an overarching timeline and it only became a thing once cinematic universes became a thing back around the 2010s. after that, they decided to cash in. not a complaint mind you, I bought into it. I literally spent money on the historia.
Even so, I think its cool that they listened to fans and made an established timeline.
@@bobmalibaliyahmarley1551 Speaking of sequels, there's also the fact that Majora's Mask was only made because of how valuable OoT's assets were to Nintendo at the time. Even the director for MM didn't really like how MM turned out. So if looked at it that way, OoT ended with the meeting of Link and Zelda.
This whole connected timeline the fans are pushing for is just a mess because the games, as you stated, weren't really supposed to have some sort of 30yrs intricate connected gaming plot. They are just retellings of the same characters or story.
Its also almost like 99% of the fandom just wont admit that the eternal reincarnation of Link, Zelda, and Ganon are just a way for Nintendo to keep reselling their Legend of Zelda franchise to make bank. There's even the fact BotW had voice acting because interest in Zelda was dying over the years so they did that to hopefully revamp the next installment and it worked.
Imagine being a hardcore LoZ fan theorist lying in a hospital bed on your last breath thinking if Nintendo would ever make a LoZ game that would end the cycle of reincarnation so the 3 characters can finally rest....*facepalm*
Your mistaken, Ocarina of time was always meant to introduce the timeline splitting. Even before that during A link to the past Miyamotto had a document detailing what he wanted to do about the timeline. The truth is Aounuma started the timeline with OOT and then Skyward sword was meant to tie it all together.

Killer job man, once again. You do not disappoint. Thanks so much for making one part of 2020 nice. I will be waiting for the next one!!
Why call it a killer job, that's just disheartening.
This first episode was both incredibly sad and wholesome. My heart just snapped in half after seeing how sad little Link looked after putting the master sword back but I smiled the whole time Link reunited with Skull kid, Tatl, and Tael. This series looks great and I can't wait to binge watch this all.
One thing we can all agree on is that the reunion with Skull Kid was the saddest part of this episode.
I thought it was adorable
True. Brought tears of joy to MY eyes.
Basically Link and Ganondorf of this history:
“You Took Away EVERYTHING From Me”.
“I Don't Even Know Who You Are”.
And i think, more than the meme, it's tragic and nails. Ganondorf took away everything from Link. His childhood, his innocence, his friend, everything. And when this Link sees Ganondorf, he probably would saw him with almost hate and anger. But for Ganon, this is just the Boy who ruined his plan. He is not his mortal enemy. He just...doesn't know him.
Such a good response!
Link: You took everything from me
Ganondorf: Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
@@phillipschafer380 Batman Beyond reference
As a person whose first real legend of Zelda game was Ocarina of Time. This video bring absolute joy to me. Subscribed and put my bell on for your content. Keep up the amazing work. It’s tough work to animate but one can feel the labor of love that went into this. From one fan to another, thank you, truly.
My first Zelda was thantom hourglass.
I agree. My first game was Ocarina of Time also.
good gosh man, this is amazing, The way you did the scene with link chasing after navi and then meeting skull kid was phenomenal. On one hand it was absolutely heart-wrenching, tugging at the heartstrings in a way that is very authentically Zelda. also, how you had link leaning up against the stump after he trying to find navi, desparing over things, in the same position as the old man who was lost to the forest in the biggoron sword quest, and then had waking him up being skull kids entrance. I'm (almost) speechless. This contributes perfectly to Oot's heart wrenching story, and keeping its sense of adventure, just with Link's enthusiasm tempered by his sadness.
So this is how the Kokiri became the Koroks: the children who never aged grew more forestlike as time went on, or perhaps, as their new protector took time to grow strong enough to protect them
Perhaps, though this isn't the timeline with confirmed Koroks, and there's no apparent Deku Tree at all in TP. I'm scared for the Deku sprout.

Rarely does Nintendo ever go into what the different heroes do after their journeys end. You provide in such a special way. Keep on doing what you’re doing.
That was interesting and I felt a little teary eyed when Skull kid asked him to come back an play hide and seek, only to learn his original friend never did. Really looking forward to the next piece.
I think this raises a very interesting point that most who played the game in its hayday, and even the developers, never thought we stopped to consider:
Could Link really go back to a normal life after everything he'd seen?
I think this animation brings a very realistic light to this. Link may have been intended to be a blank slate, for us to project ourselves onto. But by that definition, what would we all become had we seen what he had seen?
Especially the torture chamber they call the shadow temple
Eh, they kind of did consider it zelda.gamepedia.com/Hero%27s_Spirit

You've honestly made me so happy because through out my childhood I have nothing but bad shit and terrible things happen to me...but Zelda has always been an escape for me ive played every single one because love the universe that much! It made me relate to link....he was thrust into a shit hand like me...This Experience of 1 just 1 episode has me so greatful to be here to finally see what these stories would look like! Thank you major link

It made me smile. Laugh. Sad. Nostalgic. Wonder. Remember. Everything that a great story does. Amazing work. I can't wait for the next one
I was wondering why 13:20 invoked this melancholy, wistful feeling inside me, and then it hit me. The music choice of Courage for this scene, in addition to Link's sad face. What we're seeing here is an addendum to the final scene in Ocarina of Time where Navi leaves Link. At the end of Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess's music begins to play. It's basically highlighting that this is the point where Link stops mattering in the most important sense. His time's over, things won't pick up again until Twilight Princess. Destiny has come and gone, and the look on Link's face clearly shows he knows this. Now imagine feeling that after being forced to grow up and raid a bunch of monster-infested temples after seeing your childhood home and nearly every other place overrun by Ganondorf's evil, fighting to the death against the Evil King, and then just switching to a new timeline like with Rick and Morty. It invokes a similar feeling of existential nihilism, but it takes a different approach. Whereas R&M is about accepting that, Link is holding onto the idea that it all has to have some kind of meaning. Too much happened way too fast, and in the end, it's questionable as to whether or not it actually mattered. As a result, Link is feeling unfulfilled, despite being a big damn hero. Everything's changed, and he doesn't know where to go from there. It makes me wonder: did he want to find Navi only because he missed her, or was also to get back a piece of the life he'd lost?
Bro singlehandedly made one of the saddest LoZ stories even sadder
I will forever cry over Navi I swear- you have a great way of taking the emotions that are just harsh and shoving them at you
Not an insult, it’s a talent that I hope you see as good
You know, even after all of what happened, it still seems odd to me that Navi simply left Link. Why? What happened in between them? That could help determine the reason.
@@axelarias8110 I assumed Navi leaves because her task from the great deku tree had been fulfilled. Fairies are suppose to be guardians/parents of the eternal children, the Kokiri, but since Link was a hylian he would have to eventually learn to grow. Zelda sent Link back in time to live his childhood years, but Navi left so he could go on to become his adult self.
Could be why the two fairies in MM have no issues being around Skull Kid, since he too is forever stuck as a child.
@@FishyFujialso at least to me it represents the little bit of links innocence that was left leaving
Also come to Jesus if you haven’t. He’s the only one that can satisfy you in your life :)
The reference to Twilight Princess at the end... crying rn
Skull Kid is a better thief than Sakon and all the thieves in zelda. He's even better than Link, who didn't even notice. 😂😂😂
Thief who steals from thief has 100 years of forgiveness. 😁
Skullkid: "Could you teach me a song on your ocarina?"
Link: "Yeah but lemme sanitize the mouthpiece... you know, COVID and all.."
So that's how he became the heroes shade... 🤔 He only sanitised the mouth piece and drank milk with the same hand to pull the cork after.
@@fiercedezy3114 Gold Star post right here
I've been waiting for this since it was announced
The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. This game marked my life completely. Every time I finish playing it, it leaves me with a great emptiness and I can't help but cry for all that Link had to go through. When Link remembers Navi and remembers everything he went through, it makes me want to run and hug him and tell him: It's all right, I remember you, I know what you went through. You are not alone. My friend, I haven't stopped crying, you did a wonderful job. Congratulations, it is a masterpiece. 😭😭😭😭😭
Come to Jesus if u haven’t he will fulfill you with happiness that will leave you fully satisfied unlike anything else in this world :) if you need evidence I can give it just reply to this comment.
ALREADY LIKED IT, I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE FIRE CAUSE MajorLink MADE IT
Ikr!
RUclips: hey.
Me: no
RUclips: you wanna see this video about lin-
Me: yes
Me, after seeing the video: why
I love this- thank you
I'm really am excited for what going to happen in this Storyline And I can't wait for that to release.
The saddest parts of the video is Navi, when we were kids we didnt know what to do but navi was there to help guide our way. When a boss gave us hard times navi was there to help us out not only that but help our trials and great tribulations, it saddens me that she isnt with link anymore even though she was a great companion/friend to him.
Oot Link has the most tragic story of all Links
Spoiler
He lost his "father"
He lost his childhood
He failed to prevent the distruction of Hyrule
He lost his friends
He defeated Ganon, but he never got to be remembered as an hero as he was sent back in time.
The timeline he left ended up to be without the spirit of the hero, so he couldn' t incarnated to defeat Ganondorf again and the land had to be flooded to seal him.
He found out he couldn't return to be the kid he once was.
He failed again to prevent the distruction of Hyrule.
He married Malon and had some children, which he wanted to train to fight so that his future descendants would have been able to defeat Ganodorf.
He got killed young, full of regrets because of his failures and nobody remembered him.😢😭
Malink isn't confirmed, that is a headcanon
The Same Happened In Breath Of The Wild Where Link Also Failed To Protect Hyrule Was Put In Slumber For 100
Years And Because Of Not Only Her Sealing Power Of What The Princess Had Done In Ocarina Of Time
@@videosagradables Yes, but just because Nintendo didn't confirm it yet, doesn't mean it isn't clearly canon.
I mean, before Nintendo released the official timeline, the split timeline was considered a headcanon too, but the games were clearly designed after it.
Same goes for Malink.
@@la-zrider2749 its not canon if nintendo hasnt confirmed it. period
And it isn't confirmed that he died young
You can tell this is fake because Link isn't rolling around everywhere.
Man, i miss the rolling mechanics, why did nintendo have to take that away in botw?
He also didn't run backwards
It's still good anyways-
@@apxllo_am Yeah it was a joke. I agree with you, it looks very good and I really enjoyed watching.
Backflipping across Hyrule. Those were the days.
The Zelda movie fans deserves, and the one we need right now. So we'll watch it. Because we can take it. Because he's not any hero. He's a Hyrule guardian, a watchful protector. A Hero of Time.
But really awesome work!!! The nostalgia here it's not normal 😭
You all have done something not many could do. This goes perfectly with the lore of zelda and its very dark. Thank you for the entertainment for the evening and I'll do all I can to support this project.
Oh this gonna be the "Hero Dies" timeline for sure and I'm not ready for it
This takes place in the child timeline cause majoras mask is in the child timeline and heros purpose takes place after majoras mask but yes he does die but not before majoras mask.
Child's Timeline. Link defeated Ganon and Zelda sent him back in time.
This is the Child Timeline, but he does become the Hero's Shade.
This is phenomenal!! It baffles me that the Hero of Time still has such a large gap of untold journeys between Majora’s Mask and his appearance as the Hero’s Shade in Twilight Princess. Well done! 👏🏼
Someone has to tell us how ganondorf was captured in the child timeline. This is it
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS GAME NOW SEEING SOMEONE TELL THIS STORY IS LEGENDARY I LOVE U MAJORLINK UR THE BEEEEST
Idk how I ended up here. I‘ve been a fan of Zelda games since Childhood. And especially OoT has a big deep meaning for me. I usually don‘t comment on RUclips Videos but I‘m just so amazed by this series. It‘s in the middle of the night and I was literally bawling my eyes out tons of times while watching this bcs of nostalgia..thank you so much for creating this🙌🏻
I know Ive already commented once, but GOD do I need to say this. The Temple of Time section was masterfully done. The rising dread as we the audience knows whats about to happen but Link doesnt was beautiful. The music was amazing in that moment and I love it all. Thank you for an amazing first episode.
The sky and some of the backgrounds were fantastically animated you've outdone yourself Majorlink, I can't wait to see what you do with the story!
Brock Hewitt: Stories in Sound Just released a tutorial for the intro song! Check it out ruclips.net/video/f8H0HSZm908/видео.html
:O
GREAT JOB ON THE VID :DDDDD
This must become an official Legend of Zelda Game, Movie, Manga, Animated Series, etc.
IT'S INCREDIBLE!
Episode 2 soon please.
@@krishall4618 Yes! But MajorLink, take your time! It must be a lot of work making these! But, us fans eagerly await! Have a wonderful day/night!!!
''He felt that maybe coming home would help him find his new purpose, a way to forgive himself.'' Hits even harder after Episode 5, DAMN, THE FORESHADOW
