Sorry for the wait! I've worked the past year figuring out this whole animation thing and finding ways to make future videos less work-intensive for one person/bear to animate. This particular animation was actually planned exactly one year ago, so it's been a long time coming haha. New videos will be out faster and much more frequent, I promise.
I've also opened Channel Memberships! If you'd like to support the growth of this channel, I'd greatly appreciate it! (plus you get badges, monthly updates, and your name in the credits!)
Hey, you take all the time you need! I'm just happy to see a new video from ya! I know animation takes time, and especially since it's just you doing this I don't expect them to come out fast. Just do what you need to do however long it takes you to do it! We'll be sure to wait patiently! :)
I remember a one fan comic about this moment. Link had set up a separate cot and gave Zelda his bed. Zelda then got scared in the middle of the night and wanted Link to move closer (his cot was downstairs) so she would feel safe. Link then climbs into the bed with her and falls asleep immediately but Zelda upon realizing she's in bed with Link she gets flustered and can't sleep.
I found it really funny in the totk launch seeing loads of reddit threads unironically posting how stupid this was, just publicly admitting the subtext went right over their head
@@0sm1um76 THANK YOU. Finally someone who sees how idiotic the whole discourse has been. As if the start and end scenes of the game, crisis at hyrule castle sequence, the memory questline (even just that one memory with sonia and rauru) obtaining the sword, stuff like lover's pond, the yiga baiting Link with Zelda, basically the whole main plot isn't slamming you over the head with zelink subtext repeatedly. It isn't even just the house at all, much as those redditors like to pretend it is. Even the new house people try and use as a gotcha, an npc says dream homes are for couples and details of the house imply he will share that one with Zelda, too. Like there specifically being a scholar's study unit described the same way as the well. It's felt like people in this fandom either have actual goldfish memory or are deliberately being obtuse. The cope is unreal, and literally all just because they have some ridiculous dudebro, gooner brained, hookup culture version of Link in their heads from fanfic/rule 34 they consume and hate Zelda over a single cutscene from botw they took personally and don't understand what the point of that scene was, or think their dumb political headcanon should overwrite the actual plot because "ew cishets" "ew romance" or whatever other stupid as hell take they come up with to try and discredit an actually loving and positive relationship in fiction

@@0sm1um76 And once you realise that Link cannot sleep in the beds of most random houses in TotK, but he can sleep in the Hateno House bed, it starts to cross the line from subtext to just text.
I honestly would love it if Nintendo made some shorts in the Botw/Totk universe, just the two of them living their normal lives. No apocalyptic threats.
Hey, Colabear! Thank you so much for having me as the voice of Zelda in this video! It's always a pleasure getting to work with you, and the animation turned out amazing! Keep up the great work! ♥
You should have been the English Zelda VA. The fake accentuated Bri'ish voice in the official English version was scathing and made the cutscenes grating to watch, IMO. I couldn't play it in English. First game I ever played with French dub (the French Zelda VA nailed it) and it allowed me to keep the "read subtitles for dialogue as characters speak in Sims-speak" theme that the series has always had.
The animation is actually so well done! Amazing job! The voice actor for Zelda was pretty good too! I could totally see Nintendo doing an animated series based off this version of the characters.
@@wireframe7 Citation? OoT Link either became the adult Hero and Hyrule was ruined in his absence or the Child Link went looking for Navi after and died in the woods. Either way his ghost became the training stalfos in Twilight Princess.
@@Bactchan he definitely didn’t die in the woods, children who get lost in the lost woods become skull kids, and he’s also too transparent and ghostly to be a stalfos, his design implies he was a soldier who died on the battlefield, and also Twilight Princess Link’s mere existence implies that the Hero of Time reproduced at some point as he’s canonically his direct descendant.
@hobomike6935 You have a very strange mentality, dude, lol, sound a bit gooned out there tbh. This is one of the few Zelda series of games where they outright state that she is in love with Link. It's just narratively true this time around, you're writing more fanfiction than the shippers.
Link using signs as a way to talk in your animations made me think of all the ways Link can possibly communicate with others, HSL being my favorite way he could.
Honest he just talks out loud. He's able to interact with some NPCs through dialogue options that couldn't be simply intuited, and I don't think the whole kingdom is fluent in sign language.
@@OtakuUnitedStudioactually, in botw at least it’s the perfect setting for this to be the case. There are monstrous machines that can snipe you from miles away with lasers, and people continue about traveling and trading through the areas they occupy. People using a language that you don’t need to verbally speak makes a lot of sense to me
These videos are so adorable! This is what a Legend of Zelda movie should look like or a tv series. I can only imagine the amount of work that goes into them.
Thank you! Almost every creative work requires a lot of hard work and passion, but I'm just glad everyone here enjoys them! I've already got a bigger and more ambitious Zelda series in mind, so this definitely isn't the last you'll see of these animations. Also thank you for becoming a member! :3
Which is saying something given how sleepy Links can be. Though funny enough I think Skyward Sword Link is the one that actually gets the most sleep due to its Day/Night mechanic.
@BeaglzRok1 I would say SS Link is defo the laziest, he relied on Zelda to wake him up for school and put off his assignments/practice till the last moment without her to push him to work lol. WW Link sleeps a lot but we never saw him shirking duties in favor of sleep like SS Link
@@InvaderGIR98I forgot about skyward sword because it wasn’t a good experience for me and link in that game didn’t feel like I was playing as a legendary hero and felt more of an errand boy girling.😅😅😅
A Link to the Past Ocarina of Time Wind Waker Twilight Princess Skyward Sword Breath of the Wild Minish Cap There really are a lot of Zelda games that start with Link sleeping.
I swear this dude uploads once a year and yet never fails to make me so happy about how close to the actual game looks and the VA for Zelda is similar DUDE WHY IS LINKS SYNC SO GOOD LOL

I appreciate how seamlessly the music is implemented. Very well executed. Until I read the credits, I thought you might have had a composer with how well timed some of the moments were.
As someone who has been so chronically sleep-deprived that I've struggled to think straight, and I've actually wanted to attack people making noise at night, I get where Zelda is coming from. But my first suggestion to her, before resorting to explosives, would be to roll Link over onto his side, and try to keep his head at a neutral angle. A lot of people stop snoring when their airways are open and unconstricted.
They both are such adorable goobers and they match each other's energy perfectly. They just need a longer adjustment period, figure out each other's habits like snoring...
My house, in Breath of the Wild, had all the elemental swords, ancient weapons, and Lynel shields on the walls. In Tears of the Kingdom, they were all gone. Figured out Zelda was also living there after reading that note.
These videos are amazing. Keep up the great content! I wish the actual games had more moments like these where we get to see what their relationship was like.

0:14 I know the fan community has long theorised that Link can communicate using sign language, but I don't think this is what they meant.
This is exactly what I thought when they Said that link talks using "sign" language.
In the live-action movie he's apparently going to talk so we will have actual Link talking soon
@@CodyMKWi do hope they make him not talkative, like a mysterious hero trope
Link talks, he just don't get VA to voice his dialogue... he has many dialogue options in both BotW and TotK
I was thinking this version is better, sort of like Wild E Coyote. 😂
LMAO, he LIP-SYNCED WITH THE CLIP HE'S PLAYING, but kept it hidden to give the illusion of talking.
GENIOUS
I didn't catch that until you pointed it out. I was wondering where the audio clip was from. Was not expecting Malcolm In The Middle. LOL

That was a Malcolm in The Middle reference from the episode where Malcolm asks Hal to teach him how to skate. 😂
It isn't ALWAYS serious when Link speaks. Although, to be fair, THOSE times aren't canon. Only Philips CDi stuff.
THREE SANDWICHES
Honestly mood.
Or as Link would describe it, “a light snack.”
For Link, that's basically nothing.
Of course, that physique doesn’t come cheap
Moist and delicious!

do you have any idea how STUPID yet ADORABLE Link looks pulling out signs to speak? what a great idea that was.
He may be snoring like a moblin but it's sweet that Link's letting Zelda have the covers
Honestly with everything he's been through, would the covers even provide any amount of thermal insulation compared to his tunic?

First, I stumble across Dan Castellaneta's Homer Simpson as Bowser, and now _this._ Brilliant!

My headcanon is that Link has a very high-pitched voice, and that's why he decides not to talk.
