Life as a Bokoblin - A Zelda Nature Documentary 

Zelda: “Link! Please hurry!” Link:

“This is a trained professional” Cut to shot of link wearing the goofiest outfit I’ve ever seen

Why is this lowkey a legit documentary? I clicked for the title, expected a meme video and stayed very engaged to the end of the video. Very well done!

i could not stop laughing when he exploded the boar. i had been so immersed for 14 minutes feeling like i was watching a real nature doc because it was so well done and that bit just made me completely lose it

i like the thought that link ended up getting so sidetracked in his quest that he got roped into making a whole documentary series

“Grey, Red and...Larry” I absolutely lost it😂

this must be Kilton's favorite channel, and I don't blame him, it's an absolutely amazing show

Years later and this still holds up pretty well.... this really needs some kind of award....

Shoutout to the cameraman who flew all the way to Hyrule to get these shots.

I like to imagine this whole thing is narrated by Kilton

Using the "draw an unequipped weapon" moves for conversational Boko gestures is INSPIRED.

This was absolutely wonderful. I wish this was an ongoing series with the different species of Hyrule.

*Oh boy...it's time* THAT BOAR EXPLOSION SCENE LOL

I love how just someone can make a whole mockumentary about a single game mob in the style of a BBC nature show

I guarantee there is group of Nintendo developers who worked tirelessly on this game who will watch this and have their mind blown by it. Fantastic.

I REALLY hope you make another one of these with TOTK now that its released. Another bokoblin video could work now that boss bokoblins exist, or you could make one about a different group of monsters.

Zelda: "Whats taking Link so long?" Link: "Ooga Booga Bokoblin family now"

Zelda: “I don’t know if I should be annoyed about Link getting distracted or support the science.”

Okay, this is amazing. The script perfectly captures the spirit of nature documentaries and the voiceover is spot on. Just flawless

As someone who always liked to watch the Bokoblins doing their thing while playing the game, I can only say I love this. Every minute of it. Amazing job.

Me imagining Larry waking up and looking around for his friend who isn’t there 😢

Is nobody going to talk about the fact that this dude perfectly imitated a David Attenborough impression

For real, in TotK the bokoblins gor me confused. They have backpacks in which they put fruits like apples. They made armor to wear to be stronger. They cook. They domesticate horses. They attack humans mostly when humans come too close to their camp. And even when they have a human in their camp they imprison the human instead of killing them on the spot.

I'm actually shocked the bokoblins leave camp and like, an actual hunting routine and all that 😮 I mean it may just be good editing, but damn, I'll have to observe them myself 😂

You know a game is great when it sparks this kind of creativity

My favorite part of the whole thing is that one of them is called "Larry".

Dude really sounds like a wildlife discovery channel's narrator. Epic

I'm just completely blown away by how authentic this is. This is incredibly well put together. I've never been so confused and so impressed from a video. Wonderful job!

*Me walking by the bokoblin camp near the Temple of Time*: Hey, I know that place! That's where they filmed that one documentary....

The production quality on this was actually insanely good.

I personally would love if this became a series with a bunch of monsters

“Grey”, “Red” and “Larry” really cracked me up

I like to imagine Zelda watching you in the beginning and getting annoyed but eventually she’s like “fascinating”

Ahh, this is why RU-vid was created.

10:14 I love the detail of Link turning to face the camera for a brief moment, as if saying "this plan is going smoothly" 15:25 Why am I so emotional watching this

I know this video is old, but I'm so glad it got recommended to me. I had a lot of fun watching this and laughed out loud when Link pulled out the Sheikah slate to catch the boar. xD Amazing work, thank you. ♥

imagine if there was actually a side quest like this where a researcher wants to understand them more and you have to help hunt and stuff thatd be really cool and probably one of the best side quests

Zelda: Link, Hyrule needs you Link: One second I am making a nature documentary on bokoblins.

My first ever LoZ was ToTK, and I found the Bokoblins oddly cute. I came here as soon as I got the recommendation. I smiled through the whole video. Thank you for making this!

Update; many years have gone by and I have discovered a new plant variety called the muddle bud growing in the newly found underground chasms. Its effects are known to confuse the monsters as to if their tribe is friend or foe, making them often turn against their own kind. I will continue to research this as I become one with the bokoblin once again.

"We must be extremely careful when examining these bokoblins." *So we sent in a 16 year old.*

3:10 The cameraman that got that close to the lynel and was completely fine deserves a raise

Can we just appreciate the reader's voice for a moment. Few times did I listen so carefully to such a calming voice who could tell every story perfectly fine

possibly one of the most creative things i’ve seen come out of the zelda fandom, and so well done too!! kudos to everyone who put so much time and effort bringing this to life!

I can't believe how perfect this is got the Attenborough impression and the -bbc- mmc watermark and everything even like, the background music and how some of the shots are staged! the drone style overhead shots especially, freakin got me man

Me: “I watch documentaries.” Documentary:

That’s why I appreciate this game, man. There’s literally an entire ecosystem out there and you can just explore the wilderness and unite with wildlife

This is absolutely incredible. Well done, earned a sub. I know this is 2 yrs old but I hope to find more like this & maybe more for TotK after a while

one time I saw two Bokoblins chillin and telling stories with a Lizalfos. It was so wholesome I decided to leave them alone

Shoutout to Larry for being the first friend he made...

8:20 Grey Red and Larry this is probably the best educational piece of work I’ve ever seen

Whoever made this needs to be hired by studios to make content for their games/movies. Bloody brilliant

Bokoblins: *Hey, buddy, you got a Hylian stuck in your throat!*

I attempted to befriend one of the larger camps, it was one of those tree forts that you can find. it started out pretty good, I noticed that they had a lot of explosive barrels, and some were near the guard towers. seeing how the guards had fire arrows I didn't want anything to happen, so I took the liberty of moving all the barrels to one spot, the bokos seemed to see the barrels as treasure, so I put them all on the top of the fort with the other treasure. Everything went well until the lightning storm, I figured that the barrels would be fine, since the boko in charge of guarding the treasure had a wooden spear. Then I learned that it was his turn to go hunting. one of the other bokos took his place, and chose a metal sword as their weapon of choice. I did not notice the change of guard however, and had the bright idea to host dinner in the normal spot, guess where? that's right, in the treasure room, I heard the signature zapping noises, and I thought it was one of the things i was wearing. so I moved away, and started checking what I was wearing, the next thing I know... BOOOOM!!! just like that, the population of our fort went from 7, to 3, (two of them were still out hunting). I decided it would be in the groups best interest that I cleaned the mess up, and then left the tribe. I miss them very much.

Now i need an australian guy to document himself trying to get as close to a lynel as possible

The intro, the spot-on Attenborough impression, the camera work, the dialogue. . . I've watched innumerable BBC Nature documentaries and this is a parody of the highest order. _Perfect_ ❤

Mom: “what are you watching?” Me: “A documentary.” Mom: “I’m proud to see you are watching something educational like a mature young lady” Me: “yep!”

Zelda watching Link make a documentary while she has been struggling for the past 100 years: 👁👄👁

I thought this was gonna a joke or a meme. But this is actually legitimately serious and well done. I’m actually glad you went that route. Really makes this video memorable.

I would have been terrified getting that close. Kudos to the patience and bravery of our cameraman

Using the gesture where Link reaches for a bow but doesn't have any to depict him talking was really clever.

I don’t think any of us expected this to be so well done lmao

You should consider making more of these nature documentaries. I'd love to see some for the Lizalfoses, Moblins, and Lynels.

The editing, the cinematography, the voiceover... It's all so perfect.

How to make someone feel guilty about all the Bokoblins they've killed..

make this a series with episodes like lizalfoes and moblins

This is the side quest we deserved in Tears of the Kingdom. The goal being to spend multiple in-game days building trust with monsters all around Hyrule using the masks acquired from Kilton’s brother Koltin and report your findings to the Monster Control Crew. 11:03

Kept expecting a blood moon to rise and make everything go horribly wrong haha but the actual ending is awesome either way. Now that TotK is out, we need more of this.

whenever i walk past the camp on the Great Plateau im always going to Think about Gray, Red and Larry

The cameraman was the big w for getting too close to the Lynel

17:31 I love that Larry got a special thanks.

I feel so bad for stealing all their food and running away after seeing how hard they work to gather food and supplies.

We are actually analyzing this video in my college anthropology class. Just thought you should know this fact.

These documentaries were so peak when they came out. Getting a switch tomorrow, cant wait for the nostalgia to surge through my veins.😭

This is the most beautiful documentary I've watched, I would live to see more like this

I found Kilton's youtube channel, the search is over.

"Grey,Red, and Larry" Had me laughing so hard

Let’s take a second and appreciate how much effort went into creating a 20 minute documentary about a fictional on creature. But seriously this was a really amazing documentary

I hope to see this extraordinary documentary be continued, and the barriers between Hylians and Bokoblins to be broken.

“Hey lady impa? You know that champion of time guy that was here the other day? He’s running around in the woods in a fake bokoblin head.”

Can we appreciate the devs for designing an enemy that you can make a 20 minute documentary about?

This is an amazing documentary and I think it’s about time for a sequel in TOTK

I will never see bokoblins again with the same eyes ❤ absolutely flawless

We have: Grey, their chief in command (note that he is gray) Red, a footsoldier (note that he is red) and Larry, another footsoldier (note that he is larry)

Watching a video like this just reminds me how much detail went into everything in this game

Dude I thought I was on the history channel 🤣 this is awesome. Felt so real to me 😂 well done on the documentary 👏

Do hope they add these type of outfits in the Tears of the Kingdom. Blending in with the enemy felt natural in Breath of the Wild. A form of stealth. Thanks to anyone who reads this.

When you realize the bokoblins are more intelligent than the npcs from cyberpunk 2077...

Larry: "snort snort" Translation: "Wait... That thing on your hip. Is that.. a Sheikah slate?"

Truly moving🥹 the fact grey finally started trusting.

14:00 nobody is gonna comment how he blew up the boar 😂😂

In my headcanon, it's Kilton narrating this video.

Props to that impression of David Attenborough. Everything about this was really good - it was *very* funny, but nothing was over the top or too much, the BBC documentary vibe was maintained perfectly. And the MMC in the upper right actually had me lose it when I heard the voice and realized what this was going to be

This is one of the greatest videos I've ever watched. Well done and brilliant.

Plot twist! This entire documentary was narrated by Kilton, the monster expert.

Dude I would legit pay for a series about living as botw mobs

This is one of my new favorite documentaries.

I... was not prepared for a genuine David Attenborough BBC nature documentary. This is outstanding

Whoever edited this is a TRUE monster. The cinematography blows my mind. So much skill invested into such a silly idea. I love it.

I felt like I was actually watching a documentary this whole time which makes this a masterpiece.
