Every Zelda Ending Ranked from WORST to BEST 

Whats sadder is that Midna implies that she loves link. “Link I- see you later” She also says see you later when her and link both know, that’s a complete lie. She destroyed tue mirror to stop any incidents like that from ever happening again. At the cost of breaking the connection of the Twilight Realm and Hyrule. So we never got to see Lidna. The mirror is also a great representation of our hearts. Showing the bond and love between link and midna. But when midna leaves forever, the mirror fittingly shatter because of her tear. Just like our hearts

@susiehaltmann3342 wow, this is an amazing introspection. I never thought that she came to love him in any romantic sense, but I definitely felt that there was a friendship there.

Read the manga ending, you’ll love it!

I can’t disagree…

Totk should have been the worst one

So me right now 🤣🤣

Ikr, I thought for sure that Midna's farewell would be the last one. Fool that I am.

I was introduced to the series through twilight princess due to the amount of times i saw it on my recommendations and i still play it.

@@birukayalew8862I’ve played oot, majoras mask, botw and totk, skyward sword and links awakening. Should I get twilight princess?

SAME!!! this was my first zelda game its very dear to my heart

same. there just something so special about your first zelda game

Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule WISHES he was as cool.

@@andyblargextra Absolute facts, King Rhoam ain't got NOTHING on my boy Nohansen

DUDE unironically one of the most emotional endings of all time

I forgot to comment this. My favorite Zelda ending is also Link’s Awakening! It’s odd because as I watched your list unfold I couldn’t remember what games were left after TP, but LA was the most impactful for me not only for its ending but as a whole. The music and harmonies, the weird eccentric gameplay, the mini games and anime looking selfies, the Nintendo cameos. It all culminated in an ending that made me mourn for these little pixels. I cried both over my DX version and the Switch one haha I hope they do more wacky and impactful stuff like that in the future

While it makes sense for one game Zelda is the namesake of the series and would need to come back making the ending pointless no matter what. I think the ending was the best it could have been.

Zelda is never a reincarnation if we're following Demise's Curse from SS (common misconception tho). He calls out 'the blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero' specifically. That means that there could be a future Zelda post-TotK if the one in-game was still a dragon, they would just need to be someone of royal blood (who would, by pure coincidence, be called Zelda).

True but that’s not what @timestopMachinist was saying. He said it would be interesting if a sequel had Zelda still a dragon and how that would give the ending a larger impact

@@extra3817 I know, but one of the points made was based on a misconception which I like to correct cause I'm the grammar nazi of Zelda lore lol

I think it is fair to assume that neither of the Link's in the adult timeline have the spirit of the hero, especially if there is no ganondorf in the world anymore after WW.

@@jaytheamazing197 sure i guess but wind waker still had the odds stacked up against him more than others, spirit tracks was a friend of the hero and was therefore already connected to the royal family and then that was what sparked it

Maximally Wack Take. They totally undercut Zelda's sacrifice, pulled a furry Deus Ex Machina, Link doesn't get so much as a hug. Literally what's good about it?

@@Barquevious_Jackson I don't think they undercut her sacrifice at all. You're entitled to your opinion tho, but let me believe what I believe.

I personally think Zelda should have stayed as the dragon unless you got all the memories because recalling something is like using it's memories

Twilight princess is peak

@@d3va383 How was it not undercut? What parts were good? You're entitled to your opinion but you should be able to coherently express (at least) a reason for it or forfeit any pretense that it has any bearing on reality. They undercut Zelda's sacrifice because despite setting up the cost of the turning into a dragon (which to be fair: was interesting, dramatic, and said a lot about her character) no such mechanism was ever even hinted at to turn her back- quiet the contrary in fact, it is explicitly stated that there is no way back, that's what made it so dramatic! To simply undo that, let alone without explanation in such a way as to erase any consequences is baffling. It means that there was no cost, the sacrifice didn't actually mean anything beyond what Zelda assumed it meant with her incorrect information. Sure, Zelda would have done it even if there really wasn't a way back but there is, so Mineru was just wrong and we thought about it for no reason. And what for? Why make Mineru a liar on top of the worst sage in the game? So we can get the screen cap of Zelda smiling for the ending! Why worry about the consequences of our actions or suffer a moment in sacrifice to a greater cause? These things don't matter! A furry ghost will magic you back to your old self and you will not have aged so much as a day or suffered a single ill effect (except for link repeatedly hitting you with a sword for scales). It's cheap, it's just like Ganondorf, all surface level with nothing deeper or even coherent going on under the surface. Sure it feels nice but is it actually? Do you like it for a meaningful reason or do you like it because it's a pretty scene and Zelda looks nice in the scene?

Age of Calamity is last for sure. Hyrule Warriors would probably be mid tier

K.O.

Fi's farewell is not that emotional when the companion herself is terrible

I think this is Koopaseum from Mario & Luigi Partners in Time

@@matleb8491Thanks

The catching Zelda sequence though is awesome though I’ll give it that

Great video btw
