what’s funny is pokemon stole the “battle monsters and you can choose to either kill or collect them” pretty directly from megami tensei, which came out NINE YEARS before pokemon
They mention this later in the game when you need to feed some hungry gorons, the echoes aren't capable of feeding you. Since I assume Link/Zelda eats the hearts as they appear that explains why they can't just duplicate them as the echoes of hearts wouldn't actually do anything.
@@goober3666 Yeah, that review is one of my favorites. It’s not often Dunkey makes a serious review, but when he does, it’s pretty much always an all-timer.
Just wanted to say a heartfelt "thank you" to Mr. Big Mode for his amazing streak of content lately. IDK if he's just got a re-envigorated passion for videos or if Joey Bonzo has finally returned to take his revenge, but I've been watching for over 10 years and still nobody gets me chucklin' like the Dunkstin. Thanks for all the laughs, Bunko. You make this world brighter.
2:47 This is one of the things I like about Dunkey. He takes the small things you've experienced in countless games before and presents it to you in a humorous way. Spending nearly 20 minutes trying to bypass an obstacle that I obviously don't have the right equipment to deal with is just something I do, over and over.
1:29 Making great water is the visual equivalent of knowing how to play a really fast, technical piece on your instrument. It's hard to do, and even people who don't know the medium well enough to understand exactly how hard it is can appreciate and admire it. That makes it a great way to show off your talent, so it's something people do a lot.
I've been sayin this since they let Sony publish those zelda games on the playstation. SMH nintendo. really thought you were better than that. should've made the deal with Philips.

1:28 Game dev who did my own water effect here, I can confirm that this Is true. Making good water VFX is so satisfying that it genuinely prevents me from working on other parts of my game lol.
I love how dunkey has cultivated such a community of in-jokes and references that he can say something as small as "you can learn a tree" and I immediately know exactly what he's referencing. It really makes you FEEL like a dunkey fan.
Dunkey I doubt you’ll see this but just today my family and I had to put down our eldest cat. She was 17 years old. It’s been one of the hardest days of my life. I didn’t think I’d be able to smile let alone laugh today of all days but watching your videos made me do just that. Thank you for continuing to entertain us for all these years. It means more to me today than I could ever articulate here.
Gym Leader in Gen 1: I'm Jitters, leader of the Spooktown gym. I sure love ghost types, they're so mysterious! Anyway let's fight 'Gym Leader' in Gen 7: Hey I'm Jitters! But you already know that right, I just met you an hour ago when I gave you the extended tour of Spooktown! Now you can finally challenge me with the Ghost Type Trial woooooo. Oh no we don't battle, you're going to do a photoshoot of me making spooky poses for the next 10 minutes, then maybe if you do well enough with the wonky motion controls I'll let you fight ONE pokemon. Have fun! I haven't played the most recent games but I can only assume it's gotten worse.
If anyone is wondering if they should get this game, I highly recommend, especially if you enjoyed link’s awakening like dunkey did. I have a feeling they’ve been working on this game for a while and decided to release links awakening first to test the waters with the art style. It does have pretty consistent frame drops in the overworld tho like links awakening, but it honestly doesn’t bother me in a game like this.
I'm glad to see someone else drawing attention to the insane amount of talking in this game. It takes 15 minutes to buy like 5 potions in this game because Grezzo really wanted to add more text boxes to the game. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone else discover how insanely OP the sea urchins are tho, especially since you get them so early. It's the only echo that allows you to directly attack enemies in nearly all situations, and it's possible to drop like 5 of them per second. They also regularly get double or triple hits in, so if done correctly, you can attack enemies up to 15 times per second. Just jump while facing an enemy and mash the echo button. It's best if you can wedge them somewhere like a corner, since then they end up getting stunlocked, but it works basically everywhere.
Imagine if they did this with Metroid and made you play as a girl too.
If they ever made Metroid a girl, I would quit. What next? They make Mario a plumber?
@@FKyoutubeSERIOUSLYor make yellow Luigi get a game before green Luigi
