I always picked “Engineer”, because this Link never struck me as a fighter. He was a thinker, a handyman, and just a kind helpful soul, who happened to be decent with a sword. Plus, he was training (haha) to become one at the start of the game, and hell, he salutes whenever he boards the train, so he’s clearly serious about it.
Yeah, this Link is an engineer, through and through.
I replayed the game recently and I chose "Warrior", but your comment made me change my opinion. I know it's a three year old comment but it's very wise
Some Links really dedicated themselves as warriors though (BotW and OoT/MM being my best examples)
@@Giggles_iJestbotw link was born into a family of soldiers and raised… basically from birth to become a soldier. Ofc he’d be a warrior, considering that it’s also literally his job lol, he is a knight after all
yeah fr this link got a DEGREE for it and im not gonna waste all those years studying!
That's one way to think about it.
Here's another.
This incident made Link realize he actually had a strong aptitude for swordsmanship (as well as other weapons) and planted a desire within him to protect Zelda and the people of the world. Because of this, he decided to train to improve that aptitude should the land face another crisis.
The "dunno" ending was really sad because Zelda didn't know where Link went or what he is doing, she doesn't know if he remembers her.
Don't worry. I think it's safe to say that he does.
After all that he obviously remember her, that is also a famous princess. Also this probably is one of the first, if not the first, legend of Zelda adventures chronologically, so after this they will experience many other adventures.
Glank Chronologically this is one of the last. Remember that whole time split thing? This takes place after Wind Waker 100 years after they find more land and settle it as New Hyrule.
Same, except I'm pretty sure they will remember each other. Still it seems sad.
My brother chose dunno thinking it didn’t matter. I almost cried after this video
Imagine if three new timelines are created by the end choice...
n o
xD Don't give nintendo any new ideas for timelines
Mass Effect 3 Ending.
*THE CHOO TIMELINE*
After a legendary engineer has amazed the world, one chuchu decides to become an engineer.
*THE WARRIOR TINELINE*
Hyrule warriors.
*THE LONELINESS TIMELINE*
Zelda is so depressed, she...
well...
We’ll spare the details.
Michel Jean-Pierre stop it 😂
The "Dunno" ending implies that Link set off on another adventure. That's why Zelda smiled because she knows he was destined to be a hero and should go to where he's needed.
Link in spirit tracks never destined to be a "hero"
@@unknownuser494 yes clearly thats why he ended up saving everyone as a hero
@@Vulpori lol
Exactly! Just like Majora's Mask or Link's Awakening.
I actually really appreciate the dunno ending.
The option, though it might have seemed like a joke option at first, actually spoke to me a lot as a player who first finished the game when they were a young teen and had no idea what they wanted to do with their life.
I feel like Link, who seems to be of a similar age, probably would have felt similarly. He’s been so caught up in saving the world that he just kind of forgets that there’s still a whole ”after” ahead. And there’s no set goals to reach, no guidance, it’s so open and vague. It’s a little overwhelming.
And being put on the spot like that really does make you just pause for a moment and think as reality finally fits you again. Like, wow, what *do* I want to do with my life?
It just felt natural to say
I dunno.
And I liked the ending because it didn’t show anything specific.
It almost felt like a reassuring nod like, hey, you don’t have to decide on one path for the rest of your life. There’s a whole world out there. You’re free, so just take things at your own pace and find what makes you happy.
And Zelda just smiles as she thinks about Link, out there, trying to find his purpose in the world. I think he’s very brave for doing that.
Yknow, I never actually thought of it that way.
As a fresh young adult, people always ask me what I wanna do in the future in person, and my response is always just “I’m still not sure” because in a way I feel like I’m being rushed and/or pushed to do stuff one way or the other. I say that to be vague, because I genuinely “dunno”, especially with all the knowledge and talent I have now (I’m not ashamed to admit that, I literally have a verified music badge on here lmao).
Knowing that there’s no set path for me does stress me out a little bit, but after reading your comment I’m realizing that no matter which path I take in life, there’s still gonna be people that are happy for me no matter what I do. (And of course, I still have time to figure out what the hell I actually wanna do lol.)
This seems silly to say, but thank you for writing this comment.
@@NotHereBoi
Yeah, honestly “dunno” seems like the best option
This is such a beautiful interpretation.
I‘m turning 30 next month and deep down have always felt incredibly scared, lost and alone. It‘s only recently that I‘ve started to learn to hope for my future, to listen to what I really want to do and trust in myself, that as long as I follow this feeling I will find happiness. Although I‘m still scared, I‘m learning to embrace this freedom and enjoy my journey to find my purpose, knowing I don‘t have to keep rushing like I used to.
Wind Waker was my first Zelda game, so replaying Spirit Tracks and seeing that Link and Tetra found their purpose in this new land after all this time is so beautiful. Their legacy is living on through their successors and their kinship, through the song Tetra passed down to Zelda. And through Link now searching for a purpose of his own.
This ending used to feel sad for me, with Link seemingly leaving Zelda and Hyrule behind, but your interpretation helped me realize how beautiful it is. Maybe, once he has found his purpose, he will come back.
@@lmnt66 ❤
So technically, if you pick the 'Warrior Ending' Link does the same thing as Alfonzo but in reverse? If I remember right, Alfonzo was a royal knight but instead became an engineer while Link was meant to be an engineer but instead became a warrior?
It must be awfully hard to resist the opportunity to be the princess's bodyguard...
"What will you become?"
"Your lover."
*_Wakes Up From Dream_*
Dammit she would've said yes too after the journey
*Whistle in “Engineer” ending changes depending on what engine you were last using (Spirit, Wood, Steel etc.).
Oh, cool!
Well hot damn, that’s awesome to know and an amazing detail to add.
Warning: Don't use cake engine
@@stavenbyrne8010 why?
@@MCWalter126 it becomes loud and obnoxious
Engineer Ending is the best:
- A finishing honk when The End appears.
- It was the main focus of the game.
- Nobody would be able to leave any town, cuz there are litteraly no other trains (unless you count those 3 from the start).
naaah the train travel system was bad
I know that is the best choice in the game.
And I like trains.
By the way, I am pretty sure someone else in town could drive the train.
After all there could be more trains.
Yeah the only reason theres only 1 train at the time is because there are monsters, monster train and homing monster train
Selects "Dunno"
Sees Link outside flapping around with bird wings.
I picked "Dunno". I wished I picked "Warrior", the cutest fictional couple I have ever seen.
I feel your pain. I did not know the choice was important. I was just like: "woman, I have more important things to think about right know. Like, I don't know, saving the world? I will think about the future after I give you back your body before you go all crazy on me again. So yeah, Dunno"
Neo kirbyvskirby Link and Zelda set the bar higher than any video game couple. PERIOD.
@@user-yc4zq7ho3j depends on which Link and Zelda though ;-)
You got me right in the Zelink😫 ( but I still have the fan fictions though) 😏
They should have put "Your lover" as an option.
+Midna G,amer My bad, I fixed it.
I would love that. xD
***** Yeah! :P
Zelda II, one of the most underrated Zelda titles in the world just happens to have the best ending in the entire series
They’re like 12 here, so a bit too early for that. Just pick Warrior since that leaves Link the closest to Zelda literally, although Engineer can still lead to them together as well. “Dunno” as well but its so ambiguous and kinda depressing
I replayed this game so many times that I lost count but I tended to be torn between Engineer and Warrior.
Engineer: Obviously Link was mentored by Alfonzo and the entire quest was with a train so he has a lot of sentimental value to it.
Warrior: The ending cutscene was adorable when I first saw it, and Link had honed his skills as a warrior to save Zelda and Hyrule. While she does have a royal guard, he probably felt like he needed to stay by her to make sure this never happens again.
This game was (and still is) criminally underrated.
This game was really adorable. I also picked the warrior ending first time round. I'm glad I did. Does anyone else still play this game?
Just finished it yesterday having had it for years and being stuck on the ocean temple. Couple of days ago I finally picked it up again and completed it. Best Zelda game I have played, brilliant story, great mechanics and confusing puzzles! I picked engineer ending, I'm glad I did too, my favourite out of the three.
Yeah, the ocean temple was confusing as hell :D
I know this is late but I just played it today ( March 1 ) because I found my D.S. And all the D.S. Cards with it after losing it for three years XD blame parents
***** You can never be too late to a Spirit Tracks party :)
The LouseGrouse just finished today for the first time
I clicked "dunno" on my first playthrough.
At the end, when Zelda looks out the window and nothing happens, I was like "... what was the point of that??"
Dunno.
Dunno.
Dunno.
Dunno
.onnuD
Sprite tracks is so undeniably great
Typical; Link does all the work, but Zelda signs all the autographs.
Toon Zelda was awesome in this game. Why, oh why, didn't they add her to Super Smash Bros (or Tetra)?
or phantom zelda
If your talking about those papers She has, well She is Doing her Job Not writing autographs.
Kaiso Rain smash 4 oh just realised u said that 2 yrs ago
Zelda Joshua
Also give toon link his engineer outfit as a skin instead of color swaps
Engineer ending:
Link: I think I got the hang of this train now.
Zelda: That's awesome. Good luck
Warrior ending:
Link: Hey Zelda look what I can do. *Doesn't pay attention and gets knocked down* I'm okay.
Zelda: Next time keep an eye out.
I dunno ending:
Zelda: Link wherever you are I hope you're happy. Thanks for getting my body back
That’s sweet❤
I picked "Dunno" without knowing about multiple endings. Man was I pissed off at how stupidly the game ended.
In a way it's a great ending, because while in the other 2 a sound prompts Zelda to notice Link, in "Dunno" it's clear she thinks about him all the time
As much as I like the sword, I picked the "Engineer" ending. The "Dunno" ending ending didn't leave me fulfilled cuz it felt like Link had not made up his mind.
I love how Nintendo thought that the people who chose “dunno” were so boring that they didn’t deserve Teacher sleeping in the background
Phantom hourglass and spirit tracks, still playin 2018.
2019 almost 2020
I still play, even here, even now.
still playin in 2020
Still playin in 2021
I started to play in 2020 and finished the game today xP
I always picked the warrior ending because I always felt towards the end of the game that link and Zelda wanted to be as close together as possible. Even if they have different duties, they’re still super close to each other. And who knows what mischief could happen between them.
The same bro uwu 🥰
Link being close to Zelda by the ending doesn't seem so common
in dunno I think he choses to guard the spirits and live in the tower
_Picks "Your Nightmare"_
_Turns into Bellum attached to Ganondorf possessed by Malladus and Cole fused with Zant and that tounge dude_
Ded
U mean licked by ghirahim.
wearing Majora's Mask
Don't forget Vaati
Actually its mice...
Ikr
Ghirahim is a sword so
looked this up.
saw three endings.
watched dunno ending, cried a little.
Did Link just vanish in thin air or something when you chose "Dunno"?
Also it woulded been great if both engineer and warrior as a choise.
In fact I choose "dunno" because I haven't a preference between engineer and warri9r
No he did not. He’s probably still choosing a job.
Maybe he goes back to the town he lives in in the beginning? Or he goes to find treasure for Linebeck the 3rd? Maybe he's sort of drawn to Linebeck's grand kid since he's a reincarnation of the Link from the Era of the Great Voyage?
“Dunno” is just a “I wonder what he’s doing right now?” ending with Zelda thinking about and missing him. I hate it lol
I remember as a kid when I played this I thought Dunno was a piano player. After realizing that after 2 years I realized I gave stupid job names to everything. Like a waiter at a resturaunt. I use to call them food suits.
Roflol!
The ending to this game where u defeat the boss is great, because they where friends from the start, you can tell Link cared, the beginning, middle, end, you can see that he cares, and that he wants to be there, I feel this game gives them a bond.
You know that they enjoy each others company, this ending on this game is just, touching. He cares, she cares, they both care for each other in a special way. Beautiful, just beautiful.
Oh god, that doesn't mean another timeline split, does it?
I wasn't really complaining about it, just poking fun at the Zelda series' habit of constantly adding to it's continuity.
And to be honest, I'm a huge sucker for two things: complicated lore and Zelda gameplay, so I'm fine with the makers of the game to just make up where it fits in the timeline as they go.
@@karda009 then you probably love the kindom hearth lore
@@karda009 I've heard theories that Breath of the Wild could be the next game for any of the three splits. There's hints for every split with the 100 year war, then the koroks being the same as the ones from Wind Waker and all that. If you want to know more about it. ( i can't remember it) then Zeltik has a pretty good video about it.
I'm pretty sure engineer was the real chose, after all, he was on a train in brawl.
And he's back with it in Ultimate!
Warrior is also a good choice, as all Links tend to become Warriors. Plus, Alfonzo was a Warrior who became an Engineer. It makes some sense that Link could sort of be the reverse of that, going from Engineer to becoming a Warrior.
Either one is good tho. “Dunno” is the only sucky one lol
The "dunno" end is the one I choose , Link travel and his journey don't stop
Man Spirit Tracks is one of my favorite games from the series. Yes, the mic mechanic was pretty shit, but I love the music! Also, this is one of the few games where Zelda accompanied you the entire adventure, and I thought it was cute! The music was great, and the Lokomos were p cute tbh.
I just discovered the joy of replaying this on an emulator; the screen is large and freestanding, the scratchy stylus is gone, and I can 'blow into the microphone' by pressing a button that feeds the game an audio sample. Also fast forward so I don't have to sit there for an hour driving the train only to get blown up by an angry boi train.
@MrAnimedark Both the engineer and warrior endings are good. I feel bad for people that choose Dunno. Besides not getting a nice shot of the Tower of Spirits at the end, it is the only ending without the sun shinning behind the words "The End".
ZeldapediaVideo Thx for pointing that out!!
The timeline of Spirit tracks: Oricana of time--->hundred year later--->The Wind waker(if you watch the prologue about legend of hero of time then you know it)---->several month after event--->Phantom Hourglass---->next hundred year later----->Spirit tracks with Niko,Alfonzo descendant of Gonzo and Princess Zelda's granddaughter of Tetra
I don't understand how Tetra has a granddaughter and is dead when Niko (who I believe was a fair bit older than Tetra) is still alive and kicking to teach the next hero about the lore of the game he's in.
Technically right in the order, but wrong on the amount of time between OoT and TWW. It's actually *several hundred years*, according to Eiji Aonuma (mistranslated as "one hundred"), and Daphnes - the last King of Hyrule - in-game (TWW). :-)
So it's actually:
*Ocarina of Time [Adult ending] **---**> several hundred years later… **---**> The Wind Waker **---**> some months later… **---**> Phantom Hourglass **---**> one hundred years later… **---**> Spirit Tracks*
With the additional knowledge that the demon-spirit war was an **ancient battle**, and that the demon king Malladus - "Incarnation of Darkness" - was sealed away centuries before Tetra and co. arrived in the land that would come to be known as a new Hyrule Kingdom. This becomes clearer in the Japanese version of the game, which is truest to the dev's intent.
ShadowDariusEX I've a transcript and a translation of Niko's introduction/legend from the game here: docs.google.com/document/d/1KzQaboOSqgP1iJSVWZC1YIYXlSvNGqoIa7oZmBCT1IA/edit?usp=sharing
You're more than welcome to take a look at it yourself. :-)
Isn't Spirit Tracks the first? Cause Link seems to meet Zelda for the first time and he obtain the green suit there
Morgan Anderson because individual life spans vary. She could have grown ill in old age, or Niko has some secret ~~vegetarian~~ life-extending diet we aren't aware of. 😏
The “dunno” ending, is the most Zelda series like ending. It is most likely what all of the past heroes would’ve chosen, no one knows what exactly happens to them after finishing their mission.
wait where did the guy behind zelda go in the dunno ending. and the tower?
ZeldaGamer747, the guy behind Zelda probably went to the toilet. As for the tower, it was not in view that’s all.
Did anyone else notice Anjean’s vehicle at the bottom right? 0:50 💛
Wow! I never noticed this
I was thinking of custom dialogue for when I chose for Link to become a warrior, and here’s how it goes. “As long as I can remember, I wanted to be an engineer, but spending time with you has changed me in a way I never thought possible. You have inspired me to want to protect people throughout our journey together, and so, to keep on protecting people, I want to become a warrior.”
Wtf, Anjean's hoverboard is in Zelda's room 0:50 at the bottom right corner
Lol you’re right :o
what about the Timeline? is the adult timeline over? it's my favorite timeline.
I saw this on DeviantArt: www.deviantart.com/art/The-Legend-of-Zelda-The-Philosophers-Engine-417490477
I think it'd be cool if they continued the Adult timeline with something like that, going into a more modernish game, even if it's deviating from the typical setting. :)
nevasarini yeah, out of all the timelines the adult one is the most advanced,so this might be a reality.(gannon looks halarious)
ppvsonicspy i wonder how many timelines there will be in 5 years.
ppvsonicspy how? How would links choice of career affect the entire world?
I could see ganon not getting defeated and the world falling into chaos, but not link being a train driver and everyone else in the world decided to do techy stuff.
epicfaillord23 good point
Realizing that there was a multiple ending here has made me appreciate how I didn’t press "Dunno". But now I’ve made a decision, I’m going to clear my previous save files, reply the game, save right before the final fight, copy said save and continue to the a different ending with the appropriate uniform for said ending.
I think Dunno should have had Link knock on the door and visit Zelda =)
*me about to cry*
Ending music playing
*me crying*😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Ahh...my childhood. Memories ☺
"dunno" should have a better ending. i feel like its kind of intuitively implied to be the "right" choice, it doesn't tie you down to just one aspect of link's personality.
So the warrior ending is so cute >w
Picked Warrior first time. Figured after journeying with Zelda and defeating a Demon King that Link would change his mind about being an engineer and choose to become a warrior to protect Zelda.
Arcueid Brunestud Exactly what I thought
man this brings back so many memories
Wait, where did Zelda's secretary go in the 'dunno' ending? O_O
To the restroom... I hope.
Probably still waiting for that train ride
I miss this game
VERY UNDERRATED THO
GOD I LOVE THIS GAME
*Picks dunno* FFFUUU LINK, you know you want her, go for it
I think the dunno it's poetic because instead of a happy and funny ending Zelda doesn't see Link but she knows that Link is doing his job of hero and having adventures and he could be both because for travelling his train and his sword and shield with him like more or less the hero of legend
When I saw that particular ending it's kinda what popped into my mind... that Link decided he would guard the tower of spirits so as to prevent such an event like Malladus's return from ever coming again.
I realized this game had more than one ending today-I don’t remember which ending I saw.
It doesn't matter what he chooses. Whether in this life or the next, Link will always be the weapon of Hylia, the one to shoulder all of the blood and violence that the time inevitably demands of him. He does this because it is what he is, and he can't ever change that. The very reason that he exists is to answer the call, unable to exist in a time outside of a threat to Hyrule and it's Lady. Accept fate, or reject it, in the end he never had a choice. He is the Hero. There's no running away from it.
_You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?_
This gave me shivers. It is true. Link never has a choice. He's the one the goddess(es) use to fight their wars for them, and he goes through with it because of the person he is. Definitely someone you would want to be like, but *not* someone you'd want be yourself.
*sigh* Spirit Tracks is so underrated :(
To me warrior is the funniest
The "Dunno" option leads me to belive Link became an adventurer/wanderer/explorer.
Engineer or Warrior huh? Why not both? *O*
Engineer by day, warrior by night.
When you pick dunno I think it's cause link went to his hometown to live their again
Bruh I 100% completed this game 4 times and never knew it had multiple endings for all these years because I always picked engineer .-.
I would pick engineer, because that’s the main purpose of the game. Link would be nice as an engineer. Driving the trains around new hyrell.
That would be the life.
Wait,so which of the three is considered "the canon ending" I know I'm not the only one to think about it
Oooh I didn't even knew that there was multiple endings. This game never stops to amaze me.
i'd like to think that in the Dunno part he is out on adventure and becomes her lover. for engineer i think links just comes by everyday and warrior that he becomes her knight.
I picked 'Dunno.' The first time I played it, wished I hadn't now. It's such a sad ending compared with the engineer (which I was going to pick XD) and the warrior :/
I think the true epilogue is the engineer one. Because link can still be one and be a warrior at the same time. He just won't use his weapons until a new evil arises. Plus I picked the engineer ending. P.s does anyone think link still has the lokomo sword? Because anjean said that he was meant to wield it. And we don't see him get rid of it (For once) like he does with every sword he gets.
well it could have still been stuck in maladus when he went poof because we don't see it anywhere afterwards, so maybe it's either broken or is just somewhere in the dark realm.
Also how the hell do Link and Zelda survive the demon train exploding and sinking into the ocean, and then how do they get to land for the cole beast fight and then somehow get out of there even though their train is god knows where and on fire and where are they even to begin with?
I just discovered that they were different ending since I always picked « dunno » and go the saddest ending, like I became so sad and melancholy as a kid after my first ending 😭😭😭
Glad I picked Engineer on my first playthrough. It just felt right.
Dunno might have been like this:
Maybe Link chose to be a hero. And the shot of the tower of spirits shows that he might have gone to serve the spirits in Anjean's and Stavens place. In case another great evil might rise again to threaten Hyrule, and Zelda.
Just saying. Would like to hear some responses on this one.
I'm so glad I chose warrior. Best ending imo
Engineer ending is the most accurate one for this link.
But i really like the duno ending, link going to an adventure just like the links from majora, twilight or oracles... I just love that kind of ending for the character
@b2j135 My first ever playthrough of this game I picked dunno also. After I learned there were different endings I made sure to redo the final battle with the other endings to see them too.
For me the warrior option is the cutest because they arw closer.
Besides all incarnations of Link usually start off small time but in the end earn the reputation of badass and noble warriors who save the world. That's why I chose the warrior ending.
Mate, I didn't even know this game HAD multiple endings.
Weird.
Toon Zelda:Just to let you know Link, you are now creating 3 different timelines
Toon Link:Of course I am, Zelda
What about a Train Riding Warrior?
Is this the first Zelda game with multiple endings?
Link's Awakening sort of had multiple endings.
Only two, to be exact. One when you don't die throughout your game and the other when you do die.
Majora's Mask had different versions of the end credits depending on which sidequests you had or hadn't finished.
The Oracle games also ended differently depending on whether you were playing a Linked Game or not.
And I think Four Swords Adventures changes the color of the Link who appears in the ending sequence, depending on which one performed the best in multiplayer.
@jackiecarmer at least shes getting on with her paper work
I always picked "engineer". Link starts off as an engineer so why not end as an engineer (plus I beat the game while Link was wearing the "Engineer clothes" so it just made more sense).
I picked dunno...but I think I should've gone with Warrior...and Link's are Warriors in the end ;)
Is a crime just how underrated this game is
OMG This is one of my favourite games and I only just found out there were different endings!
Why do people come here just to hate on this Zelda game.
Guys I found my old DS and I played spirt tracks 3 times on 100% in 1 week help I love this game
What will you become?
_Dunno_
- Link, Hero of Thievery
Warrior ending is great because
Link and zelda are together
Damn! I chose engineer first but lost, then afterwards I would just skip that dialogue which amounts to selecting "Dunno". I'm glad I looked up "Spirit Tracks ending is awesome" right after I beat the game, so I got to see the ending I would have gotten.
@MangaEngel thta's the reason Link is badass, he is not part of a romance story, he is just a hero...
Dunno... Mabee live with zelda!
i'll choose Engi boy
Shucked shell I agree totally!!!!!! That would be cool! I picked warrior as my first time completing the game! Zelda is amazing!
And of course I picked the saddest of them.
Should have been more decisive...
no one really gets the idea of the dunno ending because you picked "i don't know"! no body knows what happened!
I feel the 'warrior' ending is particularly appropriate if you manage to get promoted to Captain of the Guard.
There are multiple different endings???
