His Twilight Princess Incarnation is only the best in Brawl. In Smash 4 he looks wrong. The other Twilight Princess characters looked wrong as well in Smash 4.
This is how I feel about Ganondorf’s Brawl design despite him being really bad in that game, though they really butchered his design in Smash 4 to the point where he looks more like a caricature of himself. He’s like a meme-ified version himself in that game.
I know the reuse of certain animations is probably just to make things easier but the fact that Time and Twi fight almost exactly the same way is super cool since one is descended from the other and one taught the other
I never liked that “pretty-boy-hair-flip”; I was oh-so happy to see the “heroic-pose-with-sword-and-shield” return in Brawl-and that it’s stayed with Link since!
Each Link is a different incarnation of the character either through spirit or directly linked to the bloodline of the Hero (no pun intended). Links like the one in BOTW have always been right handed, so memory loss wouldn’t have mattered in that sense. I shall bother you no longer.
Well the very first Hero (Skyward Sword) was right handed. To me it doesn't matter. It's nice to have a Hero that is left handed because I think they are only a few
It’s amazing what detail is put in! I already knew from messing around that the shields deflect projectiles, but didn’t know that the shield’s hitbox moved with the idle animation!
That’s subjective. I personally thought Nintendo could have done a little more with Link in BOTW. He’s much more a blank slate in that game than he is in any other Zelda, to the point where we don’t actually understand what or how he’s feeling in certain moments in the actual story. I understand that there is a lore given explanation for this behavior, but that only ever worked in some memory cutscenes within the story. Otherwise, his constant blank stare and reserved body language, more often than not, kills the moods of a lot of cutscenes within the game. An example would be his reunion with Spirit Mipha. While she goes on about how she awaited for his return, he stands there as if he has nothing better to do than stare blankly. It’s moments like that really stand out and kill the mood of an otherwise emotional scene. A scene in which Link’s emotions are on full display and it doesn’t feel off in the moment is in Skyward Sword, where he attempts to stop Zelda from sealing herself in the past. While yes, the moment before the direct action was a bit silly with the poor execution of his face before the sealing, it doesn’t change the fact that his reaction to situation at hand was *PERFECT* in my own personal opinion. If you’re the kind of person that gets attached to the Zelda of that game, you may be one of the few people that would react in the way Link did in that scene. I especially have to applaud the amount of sorrow you can visibly see on his face at the moment Zelda finishes sealing herself. It doesn’t feel out of place or kills the mood, as the emotional pain he feels is consistent with the scene at hand. I know there are a lot of people who couldn’t give two shits about Skyward Sword, but that doesn’t change the fact that they at least tried to make their Link engaging. That’s it for my rant.
7:11 Dizzy? More like agitated geez the panting tho 7:20 Y'all know where those moans came from 7:30-7:47 Actually dizzy. 7:48 Facial expressions make it even more sexual.
underrated opinion: TP is the better "classic design" but BotW is better in terms of how the series has come far. (Honestly some complain about his new look and quirks which is kinda valid but you cant make the same kind of person and let the dev team constrain their creativity. Thats why Nintendo also let some of their younger employees to pitch an idea to change the zelda formula, but still feel like a Zelda game)
It doesn't feel like a Zelda game anymore. Open World doesn't fit Zelda because Zelda is a story based game. It just feels like any other mainstream game we have today. Zelda used to be great, now it's crap. :(
@@lovedittheskinyourin3574 There's nothing special about being right handed, 90% of the world's population is right handed. Link is usually left handed and it's silly they'd change one of his quirks like that.
I love the fact that both versions of link from twilight princess have the exact same voice , while breath of the wild link is completely different sounding , also its the same for both versions of ocarina link
My favorite Link will always be Ocarina of Time. Smash 4 Link looks like a version of TP for children. Also, I wish they kept the camera angle for Link's victory screen#2 from 64. The behind the back shot is so much more badass than the generic frontal shot. My first thought was voting for Ness, but I kinda wanna see Captain falcon too. After looking at the list, I kinda wanna see Fox. Ultimately I voted for pikachu because i can't not vote for my mans and because Detective Pikachu is around the corner.
@@Someonee3452 Smash 4 Link is literally TP Link but much more colorful. SS Link doesn't have those arm and leg guards. Furthermore, Smash 4 Link is literally Brawl Link reused and redefined. Brawl Link is TP Link. And SS Link is right handed. Smash 4 Link is left.
I always found his voice so funny when he did the spin attack, it puts a smile on my face every time I use it, although it doesn't really even sound like a human voice to me, it's just such a weird sound lol
Amazing video! I've been looking for something like this for a while, especially since Link's big changes in Ultimate. It would have been nice if you had faced Link to the left and flipped the video to keep consistent (as BotW link is right handed) but even as it is, this is insane.
I think smash 4 Link is like techinically a Twilight Princess incarnation but the extra saturation and changes makes me think it's like a mix of the Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess versions
I found out that Link can charge because Toon/Young Link say they can. When you think about it, they’re all echo fighters of each other if Toon/Young had less range, toon has single smash instead of double/triple, and Link is ancient arrow.
Ditto 4 looked like generic Doll anime character with his soul sucked outta his body by a demon Perhaps ganon played with his design a little to make him look dead He had no soul He came from no zelda game He looked generic TP link (brawl) and Botw link are much better imo
We can thank Yoshiaki Koizumi (only he appears in the credits) for helping make the first Link in Smash for the Nintendo 64, of which all the other Links moves were based from.

What's wrong with botw link
Link is easily one of my favorite Nintendo protagonists. His Twilight incarnation is the best!
Most definitely
I like the brawl desing best
I know right his twilight incarnation is so cool
I like the Ocarina of Time one, or BotW Link.
His Twilight Princess Incarnation is only the best in Brawl. In Smash 4 he looks wrong. The other Twilight Princess characters looked wrong as well in Smash 4.
I love botw but Link’s Brawl design from Twilight Princess is hands down the best

Twilight Princess
Breath of the Wild
Windwaker

Brawl had more tougher sound effects.
Like Halo 4 did. Felt heavy and like you're doing damage.
