Link needs a hug. Someone give him a hug.

Everyone asks "Where's Link?" Maybe they should have said "How's Link?"

Everyone always asks “where’s the hero that seals the darkness?!” But not “how’s the hero that seals the darkness?”

I find it incredibly tragic how Link starts off pretty happy and expressive but the more he regains his memories the more he becomes that stoic knight from before the calamity and even at the end where he smiles it’s so much more subdued

Yeah everyone talks about how all his friends are dead but they never talk about how Link said, (according to Zelda's diary) that he didn't want to be the hero, imagine going through all this pain and loneliness for a life you didn't want in the first place

Something I’ve realized over the past few years: You can still have friends yet feel like the loneliest person in the world

Twist: The real reason Link lost his memories is because waking up with all his memories and realizing everything he loved and knew was gone would be too much, so the shrine was designed to take away those memories so that they could be regained slowly at a manageable pace, after the resurrected person had already started their "new life."

I played Breath of the Wild with my younger siblings watching me, and they always had something to say or point out and even helped me find mushrooms to make food when I was stuck on the Plateau. Their interactions and quips added so much to the game that I never realized until I tried playing it by myself, and I realized how truly lonely it is.

see, the zelda fandom can be two things: deathly loneliness and it's dangerous to go alone

Everyone always makes jokes and memes about BotW Link just screwing around rather than doing the main quest. But I haven't seen anyone stop and consider the fact Link has these fleeting memories and whispers following him everywhere he goes. He doesn't know who he is, or who these people in his head are. Link is thrown into this quest alone and confused. He knows he cares, but not the reason for it. He knows this world, but without context. He barely begins to remember his friends before realizing they're all dead. The entirety of Hyrule must be a lonesome land of déjà vu for Link! So, he distracts himself with simple tasks to keep his memory from wandering to places distorted by time. The amount of hidden angst below the surface of the game is astonishing, and I am loving it.

“With so much at stake, and so many eyes upon him, he feels it necessary to stay strong and silently bear the burden.”

Tears of The Kingdom just released today, and I can’t wait to see the community create more masterpieces like this video.

I imagine that BOTW Link cries a lot. He's failed his duties as the Hero to protect Hyrule, and now everything's in ruins, and there's nothing he can do about it.

10/10 anime opening

I’ve never really thought about just how isolated Link must have felt in Breath if the Wild. It really makes me appreciate how many people he has in Tears of the Kingdom to watch his back. Amazing animation (and song!)

The fact that in BOTW, Link doesn't talk in order to cope with the stress of his job as Royal Knight, that is insanely depressing. I once saw an article about this, which almost glorified Link's behaviour, praising it as a great example of mental health, when... it isn't. Link actively not speaking, not communicating his own stress and anxiety to the point that he almost comes across as a silent robot, is not great mental health, it's an extreme and unhealthy way of bottling up stress and emotion. Even though it probably won't ever happen, I hope that in BOTW 2, Link's bottling up of emotions is addressed somewhat

He protecc, he attacc, most of all he wants his friends bacc.

BOTW is actually so harsh on Link, he wakes up not knowing anything to suddenly learn everyone expects everything from him

God, imagine if we saw Link have a panic attack or a breakdown because of all the stress in the sequel

“Sometimes the people that you make memories with become the memory”

Hey look it's the thing that already made me cry when it WASN'T in my native language

I played BoTW all the way through, and yet this video is what made me realize that the Hero of the Wild, probably is the Link who has it the worst.

The reason why I love this song is probably because of the way it sorta humanises Link.

I swear this is my favourite thing about the horse mechanic: it gives Link a companion and that is just so sweet

I feel bad for Link. He’s not just a self insert. The character has real thoughts and feelings

This explains BoTW Link extremely well and it makes me depressed when I really think about it. Poor guy. Wakes up after 100 years with no memories only to find out that all those close to him are pretty much dead and he must carry on alone. Despite all this the art is actually really nice in this video

This song hits so hard when you read Zeldas diary in the castle, learning why he doesn't speak: "With so much at stake, and so many eyes upon me, I felt it necessary to stay strong, and silently bear any burden." It ties in so tightly to this video and Link as a whole. A courageous warrior who is completely alone, he stuck to his word told to Zelda that day, and that drives his grim determination as he slowly recollects the memories. He isn't afraid to die, he isn't afraid to fail. We see in the memories time and time again him throwing himself in the face of danger to protect those he loves. I love this Link, and I feel so sorry for him, the kid has gone through so much and yet through sheer will, lives on to fight another day.

hi guys, thank you so much for the continued love on this video, and I'm so excited to finally announce that - y'all asked for it! - this song is coming to Spotify and other streaming services SOON!! Please see my recent community posts for more info, but the gist is that I'm targeting a release date of MAY 6TH so if all goes smoothly we'll be streaming in just a couple of weeks!❤ hope you'll look forward to it!

What's so upsetting is that Link wakes up and finds that his 'first' friend is just a spirit in a temporary form, an he is immediately told to go visit an elder that (probably) doesn't have much time left. After speaking with her, he is immediately forced to free robots taken control, expecting to meet the champions only to find out they're dead. His only friend is Zelda, who didn't even like Link much from the start. The pressure must be very emotional for Link, especially when he hears their voices after they use their power or recharge. If anything, I'd love to talk to Link and become his therapist-

When you realise link doesnt even have a full day of his memories

Damn, this really puts into perspective how much Link had to sacrifice to do his duty and save Hyrule

I actually like the lyrics from this dub better than the original lyrics, "it's fine because it can't be helped" really hit hard. Great job!

When I hear the line: "Depending on somebody else to lead you on your way" I personally feel like that somebody is the player. Has anyone the same feeling?

The only blessing Hylia gave Link is his inability to remember his past lives, but even then... We don't even know if that's true.

Personally… I feel that out of all the iterations of Link, Wild is up there with enduring the worst torment through the course of his game. Time: Time travel, forcing a child to grow up then shunting him back to the past to let him grow up. Twilight: Honestly… the entire kingdom was attacked by creatures of twilight, he was turned into a wolf and taken captive for a brief moment and used by Midna Windwaker: A flooded hyrule… can’t really think of much worse. Wild: Failed in preventing the end of hyrule, almost dies, forced into stasis to be healed… Lost his friends, family, everyone he’s ever known. The only person he truly knows locked herself in the castle to prevent the evil from spreading… Wild has it rough…

I wish I could show this song to a non-BotW player and they could understand how sad it was. Link is a 17 year old kid that woke up with no memory of who he was or who anybody else is, and immediately has to complete a bunch of hard quests to save a princess he doesn’t fully remember. On the Great Plateau, he gets told after only a bit that all his friends are dead. He is subjected to “Deathly Loneliness” as a kid (only 17) and has no one to comfort him or help him all the time throughout his journey. As he says, there’s no way he can say everything he wanted to say to the people he wanted to say them too, because there’s no time. Everyone just expects him to stay silent and do his job, but that’s impossible for even the most courageous person to do. AND HE’S STILL A KID. Edit: This song makes me want to be transported inside of BotW, mosey on over to Calamity Ganon, and pull out a gun and shoot the everliving crap out of him until he can’t breathe or move.

Loved the Japanese version and now there is an English version! Time to play some more BOTW

Anyone else feel a massive gut punch when the Champions pass by Link as he breaks down? It's so beautiful yet heartbreakingly sad at the same time

No matter how you live your life, you're breathing every day Depending on somebody else to lead you on your way But even if they disappear you're breathing all the same ‘cuz all you’ll do is drag along whomever keeps you safe The people who I cherished and the people I forgot Relationships that came and went without another thought Although I felt an inkling “this is not how things should be” I guess I really didn't know a single thing Whatever anyone may say I know I've always been this way… As I avert my gaze away from bonds I’ve severed to this day Even I cry when I’m alone Even if nobody will know ‘Cause deathly loneliness strikes on its own For all the people’s feelings that I threw off to the side Although I know I needed them to keep myself in line The punishment for running from my duty all those times Has tightened all around my chest and now begins to bite Before I know it, something in my heart begins to change I wish I had somebody else to share my everyday My body feels so numb as I succumb to prickling pain I realize now that solitude is not a strength Whatever words I said out loud I know there's no returning now And yet again I tell myself “it’s fine because it can’t be helped” No matter just how much I cry No one will be there by my side The cracks within my heart run deep with time So that it wouldn’t break- So that I wouldn’t break- Although my hands were shaking I still tried to keep it safe Oh what a simple feeling and I fail still to comprehend-! I held too tight and it broke to pieces in the end Hugging my knees, I cry in vain Knowing that not a thing will change No one will answer to my useless cries that echo in this room Even the silence of the night Even the veil of the moon light Won’t erase, won’t erase What I try to escape, and that’s the truth... There’s no way I can say All the words hid away So deathly loneliness has followed me to this day

I love this video. It absolutely embodies the tragic side of BotW Link’s character. The guy lost everything: his memories, his friends, his family, and so much more.

Here’s a bunch of random details: 0:14 There are four empty slots, representing the divine beasts and how they are not yet reclaimed 0:52 Link is traveling while smiling, in direct contrast to the final few moments of the song 1:19 this isn’t really an important detail, but you can see that Sidon is out of frame (because he’s so tall) and that the people surrounding him are from the time of the game, not the hundred years before, like the others (the champions and Zelda) later on 1:36 The moon is larger than it is normally, just how it is in-game during a blood moon 2:16 As Link’s head turns, his eyes become barely visible, again, not an important detail, but an interesting one 2:28 As the Champions begin to fade, the Memories in the background become more noticeable and prominent 2:46 yet again a small detail, this time the sheikah slate pulsing 3:13 those surrounding him are all those he remembers now, including those from the time of the game and the champions, and Zelda, her face hidden 3:43 The divine beasts are now aiming at Hyrule Castle, all is ready for the final battle Around 3:47 There’s a flash of the symbols of the divine beasts and the full triforce, now grander than it ever was 4:00 Link is now much grimmer and serious about his duty, he is no longer smiling, why would he be? He has just realized that all his friends except one are dead or dying, his memory is so far gone he doesn’t even have a full day of his regular life to recall. And he is about to duel his greatest fears taken form. He has little understanding of who he is and why he must face this calamity... He just wants a friend.

I would pay good money to see this anime

I like the thought of Link wakes up, amnesia and all that. He gets told that he needs to save Hyrule quickly and to hurry. However, he’s immediately depressed and stressing out about being the only one who can. He has no friends, no memories, nothing. Therefore, he just chills and relaxes. He purposely takes his time and explores Hyrule. Not just for his memories, but because he wants to know how it feels to not be bounded by chains. He wants to live a life where he isn’t forced to do anything for anyone. He gets the divine beasts, sure, but then he continues exploring. Link wants to be free, and he is at the moment He takes his time, wanders Has fun with travelers and helping people out A small town hero is what he wants

"we rely on your knight, our last line of defense will be link" *Link crying in the shower*

“I wish I had somebody else to share my everyday” I’m not crying, you are!

We need a botw anime who agrees with me

I come back to this song time and time again, and only now did I pick up on Link heaving at the end. Personally, I see it as taking place RIGHT as Zelda asks if he remembers her. Him breathing tells us that he's hardly stopped to even BREATHE through this entire ordeal. This poor 17 year old boy has been running around Hyrule, struggling to even breathe properly.

I recently got this game, and for me, the moment where I cried was the cutscene after freeing Vah Rudania when Daruk was aiming it at Hyrule Castle. The moment where he notices Yunobo, his descendant, and give him a thumbs up, that fucking hit me hard.

If he doesn't have a companion in the sequel I'll feel so bad. The poor guy wakes up after 100 years to all his friends being dead except Zelda who he has to save all on his own. He carries the weight of the world on his shoulders and keeps it all to himself, a silent hero.

You know the entire franchise is like life, when you were young you were happy to save the land and its people but never put much thought to link or his happyness ,but when you growup you and learn how dark the entire franchise is and that link was actually suffering without saying a single word it just makes me cry

With the new totk trailer, we now know link is not alone anymore!

3:25 - 3:31 "No one will answer to my useless cries that echo in this room" My heart broke into frigging pieces at that scene, and it shattered into a million splinters with the lyrics. Its the perfect scene to emphasis how botw link lost all of the people he cared about in one fell swoop, and all the ways it might affect him. Whoever drew that, kudos. And the way the words are emphasised, as if the singer really is crying out, and the mournful instrumentals - kudos. Just, it played a large part in that heartbreak and that is a seriously good job done

ham this is so good!!!! literally everything about this cover is on point??? I stan a legend!!!!!!

How I wish this was a series... I would watch the entire thing

Link may not have died but truly he died after he lost his memories he lost himself he lost his memories he lost his family its like he started a whole new life with no time to figure anything out

The fucking guitar riff hits a spot and makes me feel an emotion I can’t seem to describe... it’s just so well executed.

This would be perfect for an anime series

Heroes never give up. I always believed Link had some mental issues and other hardships but we never really saw the details. Link is silent because so many people are relying on him, and he doesn’t want anyone to worry about any problems the only person keeping Hyrule standing has. So he keeps quiet. I feel so bad for Link. But he pulled through in the end and saved Hyrule. Can’t wait for the sequel!

2:42 the sheika slate blinks in tune with the music nice detail!

I like how he starts out kinda cheerful - he doesn't remember anything but he's getting to have conversations with a jolly old fellow, he's getting cool things to mess with, and he isn't really encountering anything dangerous. Even when the dude turns out to be a ghost, one of the things he does is point you to an entire town of people to learn about stuff from. When he first encounters the statue of Mipha, though, he immediately loses the high as the weight of what's happening settles on his shoulders. He gradually becomes more withdrawn and solemn until the segment at 2:55 where he's emotionally empty barely even able to go through the motions. Finally, something spurs him to motion and he begins to properly grieve all that he lost as he's filled with a grim determination to finish the job and makes his way inexorably towards Calamity.

Pretty much an Anime opening for breath of the wild

Yo, his smile at the end, why did it feel relatable? Like he's still going through everything, but instead of the smile at the beginning, this one's trying to say "Hmm? Oh! I'm alright! Let's get going, there's still much to do!" it's that **I don't want anyone to think less of me or worry about me**

Ahah, you remember "don't walk on the flowers"😂 Good AMV, it's beautiful❤️

RU-vid why have you only recomended this to me NOW!? I cause I could have been jamming out to this cover way earlier!

"nomatter just how much I cry " " No-one will be there by my side " Not a single monk cares about his safety Zoras make him fight a lynel Goron have him climb an active volcano No wonder he crys on his own

It’s honestly kinda sad. Link wakes up, with no recollection of what happened 100 years ago and is put to the task of stopping Ganon from infecting hyrule. And the more memories he uncovers, the more he becomes the stoic and quiet knight he once was. He needs a hug

Link has always been my idol because he is a silent hero, he may have his own problems but he always keeps them to himself because he doesn't want to be a burden to anyone. So, instead he stays silent and helps anyone else with problems they might face.

Imagine being the deku tree seeing countless incarnations of link come before him, knowing this child has been called upon once again to risk his life over and over. Wild link possibly being the saddest because he knows he used to have a family and friends but can’t remember any of it, which is arguably crueler than remembering nothing from his past lives. Imagine being the deku tree and when link stands in front of him he can’t tell the difference between the current one and the ones that stood before him before.

When I first watched the original PV, I cried so hard because I felt so utterly heartbroken for Link, and now listening to your cover, the same tears are brought back. I love this so so much and will definitely be listening to it on repeat for god knows how long

When you’re happy you enjoy the music When you’re sad you understand the lyrics

I AM BACK HERE YET AGAIN. AAHH THE CHORUS VOCALS GET ME EVERY TIME THEYRE SO GOOD. how to get this to play in the actual botw game

oh sweet lord who let this small child onto the battlefield he mUST BE proTECTED at ALL COSTS JESUS CHRIST HE'S SO PURE

Lyrics: No matter how you live your life, you're breathing every day Depending on somebody else to lead you on your way But even if they disappear, you're breathing all the same 'Cause all you do is drag along whomever keeps you safe The people who I cherished and the people I forgot Relationships that came and went without another thought Although I felt an inkling this is not how things should be I guess I didn't really know a single thing Whatever anyone may say I know I've always been this way As I avert my gaze away from bonds I've severed to this day Even I cry when I'm alone Even if nobody will know 'Cause deathly loneliness strikes on its own For all the people's feelings that I threw off to the side Although I know I needed them to keep myself in line The punishment for running from my duty all those times Has tightened all around my chest and now begins to bite Before I know it, something in my heart begins to change I wish I had somebody else to share my everyday My body feels so numb as I succumb to prickling pain I realise now that solitude is not a strength Whatever words I said out loud I know there's no returning now And yet again I tell myself "it's fine because it can't be helped" No matter just how much I cry No one will be there by my side The cracks within my heart run deep with time (( instrumental )) So that it wouldn't break So that I wouldn't break Although my hands were shaking I still tried to keep it safe Oh what a simple feeling and I fail still to comprehend I held too tight and it broke to pieces in the end Hugging my knees, I cry in vain Knowing that not a thing will change No one will answer to my useless cries that echo in this room Even the silence of the night Even the veil of the moonlight Won't erase, won't erase what I try to escape and that's the truth There's no way I can say all the words hid away So deathly loneliness has followed me to this day (( instrumental )) (( End ))

Are People in 2024 still listening to this banger?

This made me realize how emotionally invincible link is in botw and totk, link in this video has a realistic reaction to his world. But in the actual game he only ever seems to suffer when something hit him, or if hes to cold or hot. He never seems to suffer from being alone in game. But a normal person would.

THIS DESERVES TO BE ON SPOTIFY, DAMN IT

This game saved me from committing suicide, I was in a depressed state when I first got it, when I bearly started the game and heard the opening music I realized how beautiful it was...I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t of that game, when I played it I realized that the game is a mix of realism and fantasy but the common sense is realistic, I’m still recovering from depression but this helped me a lot....online friends also helped me bc my irl “friends” were the ones bullying me and I felt lost everywhere....when Nintendo said that the player can relate to link, they nailed it.

Watching this again, i think of the moment Link is gripping onto the master sword, and think about Fi just giving him a hug... damn, im making myself cry now.

Man I think people forget how tragic botw link is. First go ask anyone who’s been in a coma for a few *months* it’s like earth shattering. Now imagine 100 years. You have no idea who you are and a strange female voice is calling out to you to save the world. Your cold and alone. Having to fight non stop to just survive. And slowly you regain your memory’s… and everyone you ever cared for is dead. You find out the voice is the princess. And you have no idea if she’s even still alive.

Lyrics: No matter how you live your life you're breathing everyday Depending on somebody else to lead you on your way But even if they disappear, you're breathing all the same Cause all you'll do is drag along whomever keeps you safe (Brief instrumental) The people who I cherished and the people I forgot Relationships that came and went without another thought Although I felt an inkling this is not how things should be I guess I really didn't know a single thing (Chorus) Whatever anyone may say I know I've always been this way As I avert my gaze away from bonds I've severed to this day Even I cry when I'm alone Even if nobody will know Cause deathly loneliness strikes on it's own ( Brief instrumental) For all the people's feelings that I threw off to the side Although I know I needed them to keep my self in line The punishment from running from my duty all those times Has tightened all around my chest and now begins to bite Before I know it something in my heart begins to change I wish I had somebody else to share my everyday My body feels so numb as I succumb to prickling pain I realize now that solitude is not a strength (Chorus) What ever words I said out loud I know there's no returning now And yet again I tell myself "It's fine because it can't be helped" No matter just how much I cry No one will be there by my side The cracks within my heart run deep with time (Instrumental) (Bridge) So that it wouldn't break So that I wouldn't break Although my hands were shaking I still tried to keep it safe Oh what a simple feeling and I fail still to comprehend I held too tight and it broke in pieces in the end (Chorus) Hugging my knees I cry in vain Knowing that not a thing will change No one will answer to my useless cries that echo in this room Even the silence of the night Even the veil of the moonlight Won't erase won't erase what I try to escape and that's the truth There's no way I can say all the words hid away So deathly loneliness has followed me to this day (Instrumental)

"depending on somebody else to lead you on your way, But even if they disappear, you're breathing all the same" :(

1:53 I just noticed that in the second picture that appears here, the one where Link is sitting on the cliff with Kass, Link is wearing the first outfit he wore in Wind Waker! Has anyone else noticed that?

I am speechless with how amazing this is. The animation, the art style, the song, the story behind each frame. You can feel his emotions and it portrays so beautifully! Very well done; amazing job and fantastic song!

MAD = music anime douga, a term used by Japanese creators it is synonymous to AMV which we are more used to seeing in western media.

If they ever make a Breath of the Wild anime, this needs to be the OP. No exceptions.

Link needs a hug... The person who made this music vid needs a hug... We all need a hug😢 Hahaha amazing animation, music, feels, perfect songamation. Well done. You got my daughter to see this and spread it to me! Well done! Keep it up! Looking forward to more!

I always remember that despite the memes, Link is a broken hero. If only we get to see this more out of him.

What's funny is that this is a song that I can hardcore bop to but it also hurts me in the feelings

at first i was really enjoying it and then one of the lyrics hit really close and.... ouch

The "no matter just how much I cry, No one will be there by my side" went through my would and heart

Bro I just realized that the lights in the Shrine of Ressurection blink with the beat that's such a cool lil minor detail

Finally someone translated it to english!! Thank you so much! I know there are captions but still. I realised how hard the life must be for Wild Link. He lost all his friends except Zelda 100 years ago. Yeah, he can't remember anything at first but just imagine that you remember everything after they all died. He lost the one who loved him, Mipha. She wanted to marry him but she died. He lost his best friend Daruk. I can imagine they had it very fun together even though Link doesn't talk that much. But I actually think Link spoke the most with Daruk. He lost his "big sister" Urbosa. I don't know really much about their relationship but she's to everyone like a big sister (in my opinion it looks like this). And he lost Revali. Revali didn't like him but it's still sad that he died. And the king told him he almost died and Zelda rescued his life. She fought Ganon 100 years long and everything because he failed at the first time. Must be really hard to fail as a hero and to realise that Hyrule, that he had to protect, is destroyed. Poor Link I really want to give him a hug😢❤

Link remember that Zelda has been watching since the beginning.

Oh my gosh, your telling me this song wasn’t written for BotW?? Omg it’s perfect. The feels!!

I need a TotK sequel to this.

Man when I played BotW I just felt bad the entire game knowing how pretty much all his close friends had died alone and was powerless to save them (especially mipha who cared deeply for link and wanted to be with him), and now he really didn't have anyone close left. This song brought back all those feelings. 💔

This hits so much harder after Age of Calamity Playing Breath Of the Wild feels so... I don’t know, bare? Lonely? In AoC you always have allies by your side, but botw is so barren. It feels grim playing botw now

I've had a recent big Zelda phase lately, and going back and seeing all the videos I used to watch just feels so good. All the ones I've been rewatching, including this one, really just make me feel something, even if they're for more recent games, like BOTW. Though, BOTW's newness kinda flashed before my eyes-

The smile at the end- I can't- My fav song ever from now on! Love it!
