20 Years of Spyro the Dragon Timeline 

Spyro remains a mythical character of the video game. Personally, my favorite Spyro game is The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon.

It's nice to see people not dragging the legend of Spyro & Skylanders on this video. I'm not into telling people they have to like something, but I think a lot of people didn't like them just because they didn't want to, didn't want to let go of the original. Each reboot is different but they're all enjoyable in different to me.

I have Spyro the Dragon, Spyro Gateway to Glimmer/Ripto’s Rage, Spyro year of the dragon, Spyro Enter the dragonfly, Spyro a hero’s tail, Spyro shadow legacy, The Legend of Spyro a new beginning, The Legend of Spyro the eternal night and The Legend of Spyro dawn of the dragon. I never got Spyro season of ice, Spyro season of flame, Spyro orange or the other portable ones. The Skylanders series I have are: Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure, Skylanders Giants, Skylanders Swap Force, Skylanders Superchargers and Skylanders Imaginators. I am also excited for the Spyro Reignited Trilogy

I love the classic trilogy, but The Legend of Spyro trilogy will always have a special place in my heart.

The legend of spyro is ever time in my heart, still for ever

My personal thoughts on each game I've played from the series: - Spyro The Dragon - Pretty good for the beginning of the series - Gateway To Glimmer/Ripto's Rage - A great improvement to the core gameplay - Year of the Dragon - I have huge nostalgia bias towards this game - Season of Flame - Great for a portable Spyro game - Enter the Dragonfly - The first Spyro game I personally owned myself, I actually liked it at one point as time went on I eventually noticed the flaws - A Hero's Tail - Jak and Daxter gameplay in a Spyro game apparently worked well - Shadow Legacy - This game is so tedious to the point where I haven't finished it after 5-6 years, quit after the first boss - A New Beginning - Good for the first few minutes, Spyro games shouldn't have a heavy focus on combat - Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure - Sure the toys to life concept is great (I was a fan of UB Funkeys prior so I was twice as hyped) - Skylanders: Spyro's Universe - This was a really good game (Also due to nostalgia bias), shame it was shut down though - Skylanders: Giants - I'm not a fan of the Giants figures or the story - Skylanders: SWAP Force - The last Skylanders game with decent appeal, any other Skylanders game afterwards is just uninteresting to me I am really looking forward to the Reignited Trilogy, just like many other people.

OK, so this is my story. I haven’t been a Spyro fan for that long. I actually just joined 3 years ago. My first experience with Spyro was with Skylanders, however I never truly got into it as a whole, and I didn’t even know who Spyro was. But then, in 2015 long after I stopped with Skylanders, I was visiting someone who was playing the classic Spyro games at the time I arrived. I got curious and asked her what she was playing. She then proceeded to explain, and I got even more curious. I then told her how I had heard about Spyro from the Skylanders games before, but she didn’t seem to know what it was. After that day, I eventually got so curious that I looked it up on RU-vid. And what did I find? A video showing all cutscenes from The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night. I watched the whole thing, and I immediately fell in love with it. So I then proceeded to watch theee hours of all cutscenes of all three games of TLoS. And I just kept getting more and more into it after that. I think I watched all those three hours of cutscenes three times before I found the first Spyro fan comic on the internet. ShaloneSK’s comic, ”Zonoya’s Revenge”. It was then I first found the Spyro fandom, and DeviantArt as a whole. Eventually, I found even more comics and art of it. I eventually even made up my own headcanon for the story itself with inspiration from other artists like WeirdHyenas and DragonCid. Heck, there are still things I adjust about the story I made to this day. Although, this series has made me despise Skylanders. I’m not going much into detail on exactly why, but I think it is mostly because I personally believe that Skylanders is so much worse than the previous games. This franchise and fandom has brought so much happiness to me, it has basically become a part of my life as a whole. It has made me better at both story writing and art. And if I even dare to say it, I think it actually has made me a better person. Everytime I watch the Reignited trailer, I smile. And I can feel so much emotion by just fantasising and listening to the wonderful music of TLoS. This franchise and its fans has really become a part of me, and that is something I am truly proud of.

Is this just me or spyro is more beloved than crash?

I can't believe I'm going to say this(die hard classic fan), but the music for the first skylanders was pretty neat.

A Hero's Tail and Year Of The Dragon are my favorite games :3

I'm going to be honest here: I first knew Spyro in Skylanders Academy not long ago (the ending of S2 just left me hyped!), and i actually liked it so I wanted to know more about Spyro, then i knew that there were tons of Spyro games and i wanted to try them all, so i first started with The Legend Of Spyro Series and I LOVED IT (I finished the trilogy some days ago), and just the story along with the soundtracks were just awesome. Now I'm going to play the first 3 original Spyro games on the PSP to see what made Spyro such a loved character. Maybe I started in some sort of an inverted way, but idc, now that the Reignited Trilogy is coming, it just makes me want to play the original series even more!!

Ripto's rage is my favorite one :D

Spyro games I've played and my opinion: Spyro the Dragon: SPECTACULAR!! Spyro Ripto's Rage: BEYOND OUTSTANDING!! Spyro Year of the Dragon: SO MUCH EXCITEMENT AND FUN!! Spyro 2 Season of Flame: Fun to play now and then. Spyro A Hero's Tail: Corny and cliche. The Legend of Spyro A New Beginning & Dawn of the Dragon: LOVE THE CHARACTERS, GAME-PLAY, MUSIC, STORY, ETC!! THE ENDING REALLY TOUCH MY HEART WITH SPYRO'S AND CYNDER'S LOVE!! I wanted to play the Eternal Night, but never got the chance. The Legend of Spyro and the original three will always be my absolute favorites forever. All the other, ESPECIALLY Skylanders, don't have a care in the world for them. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE REMASTERED SPYRO ORIGINAL! I'M PAYING FOR IT WHEN IT COMES OUT!

The song of the legend of spyro series kill me....it's so emotional

Wow, so much outside ps1/2 *Hears This Broken Soul .. oh god no, not the sorrow song. But that point from TEN changing to DOTD with the songs ... overwhelming feels. Here's to the next generation.

This is probably a pretty unpopular opinion, but I kinda like Skylanders Academy. I grew up playing the games and Spyro was my favorite character to play as. Even though I was already a teenager when the show came out, I got a bit nostalgic learning that there was a show, so I decided to give it a try. And I admit, the fact that Spyro was in it and voiced by another staple of my childhood, Justin Long, may have skewed my opinion slightly in favor of the show. But that aside, it's not half bad. If you get past some of the quirkiness of it, the sarcastic humor can be enjoyable, and it gets surprisingly dark for a kids show in the second and third seasons. I say, if you're interested, give it a try and be sure to keep an open mind.

A little fun fact for any LoS fans who don't know: Mark Hamill, Luke Skywalker himself and voice of the Joker played Malefor. Being a huge fan of Star Wars, I completely freaked out when I first saw his name scrolling in the credits. For any other Star Wars fans, here's another thing: Corey Burton, voice of Count Dooku in the Clone Wars played Volteer. For any How to Train Your Dragon fans out there who have seen the shows, Cynder in Eternal Night I believe, is voiced by the actress who played Heather.

I love spyro 2000 it's legendary game

From August 2006 to October 2008 where the best year's of my life

Let's...lets just forget enter the dragon fly..

I need to get that LOS music out of my head. Even when i just think about it i get emotional

dude this is just beautiful

My fav console Spyro games from worst to best are: Enter the dragonfly A new beginning Year of the dragon The eternal night Dawn of the dragon Spyro 1 A hero’s tail Spyro 2

I remember the whole games like it was yesterday. Memories...

The legend series was my favorites.

Notice how it's all upbeat and happy until the Legend series.

I remember I used to play Lost islands in 2013 and 2014 xD

spyro the eternal night and spyro dawn of the dragons was my two favorite that was my child hood

I get this is an old video, but the Skylanders games on 3DS are very different from their console counterparts. Totally different gameplay, and they’re pretty good!

One of my childhood games! I can't wait for the new one!!

can't wait for the reignited trilogy its going to be good to see spyro again in full hd

I Actually Recognize Spyro, Travis Plus I Have Four Games And One Demo Is Spyro Year Of The Dragon :D

Sky landers academy use to be my favourite Netflix animated series

Going through the Legend of Spyro ones,(my favs), I forgot how awesome music was. Why am I crying? Youre crying. It's so whimsical yet sad. Travis why you do this to me???😭

Neat. There were a few weird older games in there I hadn’t heard of so that’s pretty cool. Good vid

The legend of Spyro is my favorite trilogy of all time

Spyro 2 & 3 are my favourite game. Brings back memories

Yes. Now this is VERY GOOD!👍👍👍👍👍👑👑👑

Happy 20 years with spyro he knows that we all love him and that he will always be in our heart Mine only spyro game its the dotd and its mine childhood i cant lose it I also like the original games i have played them at mine tablet but I am crying when i hear the tlos soundtracks it touching me more than the original soundtrack idk why Welcome back little dragon

13:05 That song always gets me! 😭💔

i like the skylanders version of spyro

hopefully now we can all exist in harmony, the spyro war's have gone on for long enough! as one who grew up with both enter the dragonfly and skylander's, i can say that peace can exist amongst the fandom. as one of the last peace "negotiator's" i pray to the elements that the three waring kingdoms join together to defeat the true foe, one thought to be nothing more then a rumor, the one that hides within the shadows and pray's upon the mind of unsuspecting victims in the night, and this evil is: 5:39

no matter which trilogy would you like between the original and the legend triology. The thing we had to agree from the both side was the Skylanders spyro sucks. I'm talking about the character of Spyro in this game edit: From 14:14. skipped to 26:20. You're welcome

I miss Skylanders Academy.

Remaster *HYPE*

SPYRO IS THE "Fraddy mercury" of the videogames he is THE BEST

Remake of legend of spyro, with the skin from spyro regnited Triology

My first spyro the dragon game was the legond ones

The next Spyro remastered they should make is the legend of Spyro remastered.

I approve of all except for any of the Skylanders series. The Legend of Spyro games will always be my faves....especially the Dawn of the Dragpn. Absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking game.

Image The legend of spyro get an remaster version

The end of LOS3 is skylands, please accept it, please?

Skylanders looks more like a well polished version of the portable GameBoy ones with the similar 2 dimensional view, but with an animation of the characters that looks weird AF and makes it seem to have nothing to do with Spyro at all. I have all of the PS1 and PS2 Spyro games in my collection, but the handheld versions and especially Skylanders seems more to be a total rip off that I can't stand and can live without. Those versions looks like they were made to destroy the title of Spyro. On the other side, this was a good compilation of all the games. Greate job! 🙂👍

My love, my Life!!! 😢😍👍

10:13 - **GOOSEBUMPS** 😍

I played the 2nd one, it was the best

One of my biggest regrets in life is never playing any Spyro games. After all, Insomiac, his creator, is by far my favorite company, he is barely a year older than me, and my earliest memory period is me exploring the first level of the first game on my dad's PS1. My name translates into Dragon for fucks sake! But with the release of the Reignighted Trilogy, perhaps I can correct this mistake and bring this lovable Drake into my life proper.

When Spyro returned, I was like YEA BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

I liked the legend of Spyro and also skylanders And before you Spyro fans come up to me and threaten me I just to say I can like whatever game I like :)

May the ancestors look after you, may the look after us all....

spyro universe 1: characters are all goofy and happy while the environment is all jolly and happy spyro universe 2: good games and all, but the only things i don't like about it is how they turned it from happy games to emotional games (IMO) spyro universe 3: we shall not speak of it again

Omg so much Nostalgia

Legend of Spyro trilogy was the best

It's a good time to believe!~

Loving the classics and TLoS, they're amazing. Was fun to see some gameplay from all the games. Personally I wouldn't include Skylanders tho. Not for nostalgia, but because it's like including Smas Bros. in a Pokémon timeline just because Pikachu is in it... Spyro is in it, but they're not /Spyro games/. Heck, most of the footage didn't even have Spyro on the screen....

Am i the only one that gets at the legend part emotional? (Never played it. Dont know why i get emotional. Send help :P )

it was spyro timeline to skylanders timeline

*DAMN SON!*

8:38

me: oh dawn of the dragon :3 -next game is skylanders- -skips that part- ahhhhhh reignited trylogy -literally spyro was the first game I ever played, even if was in the time of the legend of spyro, I played the original trilogy on my ps1-

What’s the music they play when they show Spyro dawn of the dragon?

Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong

Skylander academy!!!

I hope there on of things coming spyro on ps4

I hate The Legend Of Spyro because my sister talk about that game like a billion time!! I really love that game but then my sister made lot of FanFiction of LOS

10:10

Legend of Spyro was meh. Took itself way too seriously.

God, I hate Shadow legacy so much. Gave me nightmares

Who else stopped watching after the Dawn of the Dragon part?

I want one Xbox One

Why did you count Skylanders (except for Spyro's Adventure)? He's hardly in every game regardless of the toys for the games. And Skylanders Academy was too cliche for Spyro to be in. As for everyone whom seem liked to like the Skylanders version, he suffered from marketing.

Techinnaly dude. Skylanders does not count as a spyro title. Its own right of a game title

Skylanders is not a spyro game franchise, it may have Spyro in it but they just used that character to help propel a franchise that doesn't even release New Spyro toys. Leave that carp off a Spyro history video.

I refuse to call what was in Skylanders Spyro.

Wtf did spyro look increasingly more downsindrome with each spin-off game 😂? A reflection on the shitty buisness and style chocies? I'm glad the remake is happening (finally!) and showing the other companies what made Spiro great. Also, fuck Skylanders. Shit game!

I HATE SKYLANDERS AND ENTER THE DRAGONFLY!!!!!!!!

See, I don't get why people hate on the LOS trilogy. I grew up with the original games and played the first game of LOS when a friend rented it when it came out. From what I remember it was alright. It was kinda cool. From what I see here it seems they had an idea and went with it till the end which is awesome and now I feel like playing the trilogy cuz it looks pretty good for that era.

Spyro is definitely the most awesome dragon

YEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH! I’m so hyped I’m your big fan SPYRO

Legend Spyro was by far the most emotional...

Yes! Finally someone that knows that Skylander was a reboot of Spyro just like TLOS. Perfect video, I think you put everything.

I Love Spyro he is the Best Dragon in the World Best Game in the World I Love him Spyro I Love you Hero xd

Damn this is a slap in the face of nostalgia. I love it!

Not to get legend fans excited but legend of spyro a new beginning is 12 years old now maybe if 3 to 7 years we can have legend remastered

10:10 up to dawn of the dragon, best. Most emotional, most asction, best story and... so nostalgic.

that score for the lengend series.. was beautiful... 😍👌👌 i have such a soft spot for the lengend series. its the only games that actually tried and was decent besides the OT games.

The Legend of the Spyro is the Spyro I grew up with and loved. Also, the name of the song used for the clips of The Legend of Spyro Trilogy?

OMG I REMEMBER SPYRO'S UNIVERSE I WISH IT NEVER SHUT DOWN :( I HAD SO MANY!!!

Just seeing this again. I can't believe it's already more than 20 years since the birth of one of the best and most memorable dragons ever existed. And also, how with time had changed. And while the fandom keeps separated with their versions of Spyro, we all can agree In one thing. We all are Spyro, we love him, we enjoy his adventures, his friends, and his worlds, no matter what. OG Spyro World is so colourful and cool. Legend of Spyro World is so emotional and majestic. Skylanders World is so varied and refreshing. So, what better way to celebrate him joining all of us together?

The legend was my favorite but og or legend I like spyro
