@@themindeclectic9821 agreed! It’s even stated in creating a champion (the official art book) that post reawakening Link’s demeanor is much more open and emotive due to a combination of his lost memory of what he used to be like and the loss of all the eyes and pressure he was under 100 years ago. It’s such an interesting dynamic ripe with potential that an event that spelled the end for so many, including him, ended up also being the thing that set him free in a sense.
@@Piiiiiiiiit his morals and drive in life was his blessing and his curse. Same with Zelda. I guess you can say a part of Link died in order for him to feel truly free, even if it was temporary.
@@themindeclectic9821 The best part about this is that you don’t even have to hold it strictly as a head canon; it’s legitimately canon! Link told Zelda in the past before the Calamity struck that he felt the overbearing weight of his responsibilities weighing down on him, so he pushed aside all of his emotions in order to fulfill his duties as Zelda’s knight and guardian. But after he’s lost his memories, he’s also forgotten all of his duties- so he’s finally able to once again fully express himself once more. Your head canon is truly canon!
Link finding the master sword as a kid and seeing all the past lives killed me, especially since i did the champions ballad and read mipha's diary about how much link changed. He was just a baby when he got pushed into his destiny. I love how carefree and emotive link is before regaining his memories. This is god tier
I’ve been thinking abt this for years, everyone seems to overlook these sort of things about Link character. Like you said he was pushed into it so young without a choice in the matter. I think it’s a bit tragic.
Just curious, but didn't Link only get the master sword when he was around 20? I know Age of Calamity isn't canon, but we can assume that the events prior to the robot time travelling were probably canon, and Link didn't have the master sword when he was about 20. Unless of course, you are talking about a different Link.
Its heartbreaking to see how happy link looked from 2:35 to 2:50. Since he lost his memory, he probably didn’t had the pressure of the memories of his past. Amazing animation💕
EARLY-GAME TEARS OF THE KINGDOM SPOILERS Yeah, and then the change in his expression afterwards and then the part where it cuts from his arm to Rauru's broke me.
Wow, just wow. The animation really shows the immense emotions, you can feel the pain and sadness, and the joy in every frame. Plus the animation is smooth, the rendering is beautiful, ant the whole thing is just done so perfectly. This animation must have taken a VERY long time to complete, and is one of the best ones I have ever seen.
@@zelda1410don't forget the reference to the original MV that match the theme and emotion to the brim. certain shots are reference to the MV and you guys better check the original as it also have chilling imagery

And I can still go on about many more things
I am INCREDIBLY glad that youtube recommended this video and was quite stubborn about keeping it on my recommended. I've watched this at least 4 times now and it really never fails to amaze!!! Amara isn't usually a song I enjoy that much, but the tone shifts between different sections work SO well with the abrupt timeline of events in BOTW! Your art style is amazing!!! The animation is amazing!!!!! The amount of thought that has gone into each scene is amazing!!!! Link really feels so alive with how the voice clips are used in the big fight scene!! I got a bit emotional at the part with Link turning around and cycling through all of his different armor and the things he's doing!! An absolutely gorgegous tribute :) I hope many many more people get to see this!
Thank you so much!! I'm so happy that you enjoyed the jumpy music and cuts and all that! And YES, the surreal differences between the past, present, and future was exactly what I was trying to achieve. Again, thank you for watching!
@@lrdtrout Speaking of jumpy cuts, it's a bit obvious that the fluid parts of the animation gets impatient about transitions to different scenes and styles, and then the lingering shots are only in places where the animation also cuts corners on filling in the in-between frames. A bit more detail in the lingering shots would class up the work quite a bit. Of course it's a balance act with how much value you'd sink into it altogether, but I'm talking about the stark contrast.
@@sboinkthelegday3892 You're right! A lot of shots do need some in betweens and more work, but these shortcuts were taken to test how quickly I could finish a decent product! I'll use this knowledge to try better next time! ^^
Jesus christ, the ending with his hand going to his one in TOTK, the sequence of his journey after he awoke from the Shrine of Resurrection, how perfectly it shows him expressing himself more.. my heart. My stupid little heart. This is likely one of the most beautiful yet heart-breaking things I've laid eyes upon in recent times. I hope this gets the true and outstanding recognition it deserves.
I always love when we get to see just how happy Link was after he lost his memories of his past life. He had so much riding on his shoulders that he barely ever talked and let his actions speak for him while post-calamity Link is making seal puns with the Gerudo, blowing up everything in sight, doing fun poses for the camera and shield surfing. It's just so beautifully animated how he goes from being so carefree and overjoyed to realizing just what destiny has in store for him.
2:37, just like how it’s the most replayed scene of the animation, is my favourite part😩the way link spins around laughing, looking and exploring in all his outfits with not a care in the world is just so nice to see🫶🏼🫶🏼
I shed a Kingdoms worth of Tears watching this. I like how it links to the past game. With this level of animation, and the fact that this was completed in 5 months, well, the only direction is skyward. Im glad that RUclips did not hide it within its realm of Twighlight. Even a princess would be graced to see this Theres no masking my surprise to this. Even my friend Majora found it quite good
This is amazing, it shows that all Link wants to be is a carefree and adventurous child and he's drawn, almost shackled to duty. The endless curse of reincarnation.
I can’t stop coming back to this I’m shocked it doesn’t have more attention by now!! 0:40 to 0:55 gives me chills every time I LOVE how it flashes through Links past lives in such an eye-pleasing way. AMAZING work!!!
In order: Hero of time (Ocarina of time/Majora’s Mask), Hero of twilight (twilight princess) in wolf form, Hero of the sky (Skyward sword), Hero of Hyrule (OG legend of Zelda and adventure of link), Hero of time AGAIN, Hero of time grown up, possibly Hero of awakening (Link’s Awakening), possibly hero of Twilight (regular form this time), and finally the Hero of the Wind (the Wind Waker ). That last one was obviously a toon link, you could tell by the face shape if you run the animation in 0.25x speed.
I've listened to AMARA non-stop since it released so I noticed the subtle audio changes. 2:04 - 2:20 was my favorite part!!!! Absolutely gorgeous animation, it reminded me of how much I love these games
the art style is GORGEOUS. it makes everything softer but at the same time, the body language, the eyes are so tender with emotions... and also like when Link woke up and have no memories, he's so happy and it's heartbreaking... love how in almost every scene it's a different palette, every scene is a different and unique poses/tunic. overall, this deserves all love and respect. wish you luck on the next animations! keep up the good work!!!
2:54 dude this literal frame of rauru's hand got me teared up in an instant;; the transition from him being a kid, to all of his former selves from the zelda series, transitioning to botw memories and then took suddenly came in and that frame hit me as to how link endured all of this and literally a new chapter or finding zelda again has just begun,,,, wtf my heart hurtsss q-q
This is gold! The animation is so smooth and fits perfectly. I love the all the little details. Like you can see Fi in Link's eyes at 0:52 it's just beautiful..

I’m having a really hard time expressing how beautiful and incredible this was through words. This is one of the most gorgeous animations I’ve ever seen - not even just in the TLoZ fandom, but in general. The emotions you managed to convey through Link genuinely took my breath (haha) away, and you told the story of Breath of the Wild so vividly while also capturing the terrible heartbreak of Link and Zelda’s destinies. This is an absolute work of art and I’m so, so glad that I got to witness it.
holy crap this is one of the best animations I've ever seen. as an artist who has dabbled in animation this requires SO MUCH WORK I'm surprised at how fast you did this, something this amazing i would assume would take 5 years, not 5 months. I'm genuinely amazed at the quality of this, the attention to detail and the lore is so good. its all so amazing I'm getting chills thinking about it. thank you for making this.
It's very evident that you know all the backstories given some of the scenes you made like Link as a kid finding the master sword or the fact that he shows more emotion after reawakening and losing his memories. This is truly a labor of love that I will come back to over and over!
This is so criminally underrated; I’m glad that I got this recommended, it was like watching a whole movie. The emotional journey this took me on is just- indescribable in words.
a tribute to one of my favorite games using a song from one of my favorite artists???? i am so indescribably happy right now. this animation is absolutely incredible, and i feel the song fits the theme surprisingly well!! i’m going to be rewatching this over and over now
holy crap, you're insane for this /pos amara is such a good song for this, the original song has such a great blend of tech and classical musical beats, its very reminiscent of the musical style of ToTK.... yeah, absolutely amazing. brb gonna watch this for the 20th time
I find it unbelievable that you managed to capture the aura of the game in a 3 minute animation. Not to mention you made your own as well. Props dude, keep up the good work!!
I have much to say about this animation but no words for it, it's so nostalgic and it has such a great way of telling link's story! The memories of his past incarnations, the transition to totk, the way the history and world of hyrule was represented, it's beautiful!
Oh. My. GOD. The LoZ series has played such a HUGE role in my life and seeing this just made it 1000x times better. I love how you drew Link's emotions and drew how happy he looked when he was truly free for a short while. The style for Tulin and Riju are my absolute favorites. The Divine Beasts looked so cool too! This animation is seriously one of the best I have ever seen. You put so much in during those 5 months and it looks amazing!
2:04 this part right here gave me CHILLS!! Made my jaw drop with how nice it was! And the way the eyes are animated in certain scenes is absolutely stunning!!!🫢 I LOVED IT 😍 I haven’t played Zelda so idk a lot about it,but this DEFINITELY makes me want to know everything about it 😭🙏🏾
That sequence at 0:53 with all of Link's past lives passing rapidly, to me it seemed as if they were shouting "No! Not yet! It's way too soon!" Lamenting that the cycle of demise and the weight of the hero's duty would reach a new reincarnation again, and at such a young age.
This animation is just absolutely breathtaking. The amount of emotion shown both in the flashbacks and the post-Calamity part while also paired with the incredibly dynamic fighting is just masterful work. Well done. Well done indeed.
2:03 - 2:21 gave me chills. The song and the scenes you showed in those 18 seconds really encapsulated hope and their determination to keep fighting, well done!
I don't wanna say much other than that its beautiful. I have not experienced a show that made me quite as emotional as BOTW and TOTK and you perfectly portrayed how I, and surely many others, feel about this masterpiece of a story. Amazingly done
I'm not gonna lie, this video captures the sheer beauty of the story so perfectly that it gives me goosebumps. The way you portrait Link's feelings and his journey in this is absolutely breathtaking.
i come back to this video often, as a game art/animation student, i aspire to create something as beautiful as this. ÅMARA is the perfect song for this and i fell in love with it as a result of this video. everything about the animation is so ethereal, thank you for taking the time and effort to create it and thank you for sharing it
aaaaaa this is so good, brought chills down my spine. im literally just commenting this for the algorithm because what im feeling cannot me put into words. this gave me such huge amounts of joy, my favorite song and favorite game have come together in a way i didnt think possible thanks to your work. this really is awesome
This animation fills me with emotion. Literally every time I watch it I feel a pain in my chest reminding me of why this story is so resonant with me and so amazing. Seeing Link smile and laugh after he died and came back always gets me. Amazing animation, AMAZING MUSIC, everything fits and it makes me so emotional. aough. amazing work.
Crying here because how changed Link was after losing his memory. He was somewhat more free in spirit and got to live a little ^^. Exploring, trying different foods, clothes, meeting new people. Very beautiful depiction of this! 💕💕💕 He deserves a break after that war he had to go through at such a young age. 😭
oh my gosh i absolutely completely ADORE THIS... one of my favorite vocaloid songs combined with botw this is actually perfect im in love 😭💙

After listening to this song for the first time when the animation was released, I had no words. One of Miku and Kaito’s best songs. I’ve listened to it over 40 times and it makes me cry every time, to make such a beautiful animation for a beautiful game is incredible, and the song is perfect. All of link’s emotions captured in one animation is amazing to watch. What a god of an animation.
This animation is just so captivating. From the way it just shows Links experiences from childhood to the current day SO colorfully and fluidly to how masterfully this music was to compliment the ancient theme, I was getting after chills from this animation.
I left a comment right after this came out about how you were going to blow up over this. Just came back and saw this at almost 600k views and your sub count has quintupled. Amazing shit my dude, can’t wait to see more from you!
you did amazing, especially 2:37 - 2:48 like the camera spinning is hard to do and links movements matching up is just perfect in every way. hope you do other animations like maybe splatoon or maybe a indie game like celeste. you're doing good
how did you manage to draw every character perfectly??? but seriously this is my new favourite video, the animation is so smooth and link as a small child is probably the cutest thing ever-

The countless dioramas are swallowed up by the response (sound)
On this planet where this prolonged heart shines
Even forgetting how to strip those words off
Imprisoned by the sounds of gunshots and something
I push through the moon's darkness
Uncover the fantasy
Defy the voices
Is this all reality or fiction? Not a single one of us knows what is beyond that
Is this all reality or fiction? Not a single one of us knows what is beyond that
Is this all reality or ficcccc
The seamless binds tremble at the response (sound)
The fortress is full of thoughts engraved in it
Even forgetting the name of whom the poem awaits
Abducted by the shooting stars and my tears
I conceal this glass heart
Uncover the fantasy
Defy the voices

Crawl into the heavens, into the night!

Thank you so much for adding the English translation of the lyrics, now knowing the words this song fits even better to the animation!
Yesss! Thank you!
ちゃんと途中で原作の声入ってるの良いわぁ……
I’m having a really hard time expressing how beautiful and incredible this was through words. This is one of the most gorgeous animations I’ve ever seen - not even just in the TLoZ fandom, but in general. The emotions you managed to convey through Link genuinely took my breath (haha) away, and you told the story of Breath of the Wild so vividly while also capturing the terrible heartbreak of Link and Zelda’s destinies. This is an absolute work of art and I’m so, so glad that I got to witness it.
歴代ゼルダの伝説が蘇るところすごすぎる……あと最後らへんの腕が変わるところホント鳥肌…
holy crap this is one of the best animations I've ever seen. as an artist who has dabbled in animation this requires SO MUCH WORK I'm surprised at how fast you did this, something this amazing i would assume would take 5 years, not 5 months. I'm genuinely amazed at the quality of this, the attention to detail and the lore is so good. its all so amazing I'm getting chills thinking about it. thank you for making this.
It's very evident that you know all the backstories given some of the scenes you made like Link as a kid finding the master sword or the fact that he shows more emotion after reawakening and losing his memories. This is truly a labor of love that I will come back to over and over!
This is so criminally underrated; I’m glad that I got this recommended, it was like watching a whole movie. The emotional journey this took me on is just- indescribable in words.
a tribute to one of my favorite games using a song from one of my favorite artists???? i am so indescribably happy right now. this animation is absolutely incredible, and i feel the song fits the theme surprisingly well!! i’m going to be rewatching this over and over now
this looks GORGEOUS! your use of colors and the movement is astounding!!!
記憶がないリンクが自然豊かなハイラルを楽しく冒険していくけど、その中で100年前の悲劇と絶望の真実を思い出していって仲間達と勇者となっていく姿を表現してる最高の神動画………！
ティアキンのやつも作って欲しい！！
2:37 記憶を無くして無邪気に笑うただの青年のリンクの姿、そしてその後に100年前の記憶を思い出して泣いている姿が、ゲームを始めて楽しんで、ストーリーを知って涙を流すプレイヤーとリンクしていてブレワイをやっていた時のドキドキとワクワクを思い出しました。素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます。
ほんとにこのアニメの全部が好きなんだけれども、その中で特に好きな部分が
0:00 から 0:16 と
0:55 から 1:14 と
2:02 から 2:57
共感の嵐
2:54 MY WHOLE BODY GOT CHILLS
one of the best zelda's animation in my opinion. i love how he's happy after he lose his memory
holy crap, you're insane for this /pos
amara is such a good song for this, the original song has such a great blend of tech and classical musical beats, its very reminiscent of the musical style of ToTK.... yeah, absolutely amazing. brb gonna watch this for the 20th time
後半の怒涛のラッシュが好き
I find it unbelievable that you managed to capture the aura of the game in a 3 minute animation. Not to mention you made your own as well. Props dude, keep up the good work!!
I have much to say about this animation but no words for it, it's so nostalgic and it has such a great way of telling link's story! The memories of his past incarnations, the transition to totk, the way the history and world of hyrule was represented, it's beautiful!
This is genuinely probably the best Zelda thing I've seen. The art, the music and the story itself is just amazing. Just wow.
I think "A Hero's Purpose", the start of "A New Calamity" and the whole fandom surrounding "Linked Universe" is pretty cool too.
Oh. My. GOD. The LoZ series has played such a HUGE role in my life and seeing this just made it 1000x times better. I love how you drew Link's emotions and drew how happy he looked when he was truly free for a short while. The style for Tulin and Riju are my absolute favorites. The Divine Beasts looked so cool too! This animation is seriously one of the best I have ever seen. You put so much in during those 5 months and it looks amazing!
また神作を発見してしまった。
ずっと鳥肌が立って最後ブワってなりました語彙力がなくて伝わらないかも知れないですが、これだけは言えます
あなたは天才
アニメーションが滑らかすぎる！
2:04からの歌詞がゲームに合っていてとてもいい…素晴らしい動画をありがとう
This is criminally underrated, I adore all of the love you put into this
2:03ここやばい！初めて聞いた時めっちゃ鳥肌たった……！
2:04 this part right here gave me CHILLS!! Made my jaw drop with how nice it was! And the way the eyes are animated in certain scenes is absolutely stunning!!!🫢 I LOVED IT 😍 I haven’t played Zelda so idk a lot about it,but this DEFINITELY makes me want to know everything about it 😭🙏🏾
That sequence at 0:53 with all of Link's past lives passing rapidly, to me it seemed as if they were shouting "No! Not yet! It's way too soon!" Lamenting that the cycle of demise and the weight of the hero's duty would reach a new reincarnation again, and at such a young age.
2:23 I really love the inclusion of Link's hyah!!!! That's cool!!! This whole thing is cool!!!!
the animation of this was thought so deeply about... it made me cry. It was so beautifully put together and it deserves so many more likes.
this is SO COOL. i've watched like five times already. I especially love the section with baby Link and the master sword... it feels so ethereal
AMARA was the perfect song for this, so ethereal and chaotic. The animation is beautiful, you're super talented.
The fact that the vocals kind of sound like the inverted vocals of TotK OST just make this even more breathtaking
This animation is just absolutely breathtaking. The amount of emotion shown both in the flashbacks and the post-Calamity part while also paired with the incredibly dynamic fighting is just masterful work. Well done. Well done indeed.
2:03 - 2:21 gave me chills. The song and the scenes you showed in those 18 seconds really encapsulated hope and their determination to keep fighting, well done!
I don't wanna say much other than that its beautiful. I have not experienced a show that made me quite as emotional as BOTW and TOTK and you perfectly portrayed how I, and surely many others, feel about this masterpiece of a story. Amazingly done
I nominate this for the intro for a breath of the wild anime
I'm not gonna lie, this video captures the sheer beauty of the story so perfectly that it gives me goosebumps. The way you portrait Link's feelings and his journey in this is absolutely breathtaking.
i come back to this video often, as a game art/animation student, i aspire to create something as beautiful as this. ÅMARA is the perfect song for this and i fell in love with it as a result of this video. everything about the animation is so ethereal, thank you for taking the time and effort to create it and thank you for sharing it
aaaaaa this is so good, brought chills down my spine. im literally just commenting this for the algorithm because what im feeling cannot me put into words. this gave me such huge amounts of joy, my favorite song and favorite game have come together in a way i didnt think possible thanks to your work. this really is awesome
This animation fills me with emotion. Literally every time I watch it I feel a pain in my chest reminding me of why this story is so resonant with me and so amazing. Seeing Link smile and laugh after he died and came back always gets me. Amazing animation, AMAZING MUSIC, everything fits and it makes me so emotional. aough. amazing work.
Crying here because how changed Link was after losing his memory. He was somewhat more free in spirit and got to live a little ^^. Exploring, trying different foods, clothes, meeting new people. Very beautiful depiction of this! 💕💕💕
He deserves a break after that war he had to go through at such a young age. 😭
Link is so happy to just explore after he wakes up but he’s sadder as he gets his memories back. Ugh this is so good!
oh my gosh i absolutely completely ADORE THIS... one of my favorite vocaloid songs combined with botw this is actually perfect im in love 😭💙
After listening to this song for the first time when the animation was released, I had no words. One of Miku and Kaito’s best songs. I’ve listened to it over 40 times and it makes me cry every time, to make such a beautiful animation for a beautiful game is incredible, and the song is perfect. All of link’s emotions captured in one animation is amazing to watch. What a god of an animation.
2:36 - 2:54 i love this part too much, its so smooth and has so much life in the animation
This is very emotional, I love 2:37 to 2:50, amazing piece of animation work here. Thanks for sharing this!
you couldn't have done this better. I especially love all of the past links flooding into his head. Perfect 👌
Woah! I was so used to the Sekai cut I completely forgot the other instrumentals. Amara feels so fitting for Zelda, great job!
This animation is just so captivating. From the way it just shows Links experiences from childhood to the current day SO colorfully and fluidly to how masterfully this music was to compliment the ancient theme, I was getting after chills from this animation.
this is beautiful!!! i think my favorite part is the transition between the links of different games. thanks so much for sharing!
I left a comment right after this came out about how you were going to blow up over this. Just came back and saw this at almost 600k views and your sub count has quintupled. Amazing shit my dude, can’t wait to see more from you!
I’m so glad this masterpiece is getting more views, I can’t imagine the amount of hardwork put into this
you did amazing, especially 2:37 - 2:48 like the camera spinning is hard to do and links movements matching up is just perfect in every way. hope you do other animations like maybe splatoon or maybe a indie game like celeste. you're doing good
やばい、鳥肌たった。
おすすめで出てきたから何気なく見てたけど次世代のゼルダの伝説シリーズが出てくるとは思わなくてこどもリンクと妖精が出た瞬間鳥肌たちました、一瞬でファンの心を盗んでくってカリオストロの城のルパンみたい、🥺
泣いてしまいました、イラストも綺麗でした、素敵な動画ありがとうございました😌💘
0:45
鳥肌たった
ゼルダ愛が伝わる
The array of emotions in this animation was what I wanted from the cutscenes in the games. Beautiful 😍
作者さんの愛が凄くてボロ泣きしました…素敵な作品を本当に本当にありがとうございます
I keep coming back to this video because it is so hauntingly beautiful and unique. It's so brand new yet so nostalgic and familiar.
THIS IS AMAZING. It portrays link’s life and previous ones and captures his struggles so well.
ゼルダ二次創作は、リンクが天真爛漫すぎてうーん。？と、なる事が多々あるけれど、これは表情、動きに本当にリンクそのものを感じました。素晴らしい作品をありがとう、、、
一つだけ言います。
大好きなゼルダと大好きなボカロを合わせた神動画をありがとう！
how did you manage to draw every character perfectly??? but seriously this is my new favourite video, the animation is so smooth and link as a small child is probably the cutest thing ever-
