NateWantsToBattle: The Evil King [LYRIC VIDEO] A Legend of Zelda Song 

True

True and also any three of them can say that

I read this comment just as I heard that line.

@@robloxcool88 same

Best part of that. It’s to the beat of Zelda’s lullaby. It’s almost mocking them. No matter what peace you find. I will ALWAYS take it from you

A weapon far more powerful than the master sword

@Jordan Robshaw For a second I thought you meant it's more powerful than the longshot.

@Jordan Robshaw Oh, cool.

@Jordan Robshaw LONGSHOT!!! pun intended?????????

No he got turned into a 17 year old so technically in majoras mask he was a teenager in a kids body because he had to age it’s part of the reason majoras mask is so dark

lol yep XD

Jared Prather **slowly clapping** yes

+TrueTampur Well he is some kind of King.

Pyron 5 BLESSSS

the evil king vs the music king. who will win? I say Nate.

It took me waaaay to long to get that

That is scary....

Brb gotta make an edit

@@squigeon7959 id love to see that

SOMEBODY ANIMATE THIS-

@@squigeon7959 Where that edit at my man?

As someone who isn't much of a Zelda fan, could you elaborate on that? My scouring ZeldaDungeon currently isn't showing anything in this vein of Link dying alone, haha

@eadlirez If I recall it right. The Link of Twilight Princess is sporadically trained by a Ghost/spirit (Hero's Shade) that can turn into a light/golden wolf. In his final training with Link, the Hero's Shade states that and then calls him "my child" before leaving. So it's heavily implied that the Hero's shade is the Hero of Time of Ocarina of Time/Majora's Masks after he was sent back to the past by Zelda. (I think even the spirit of Light refers to him as The legendary Hero). However, the Theory is that no one, apart from the spirit, remembers that he was the Hero of Time. In the Castle graveyard of Twilight Princess, the player can find a tomb stating that the "Cursed Swordsman rests beneath the sacred tree" implying that whoever this tomb was for didn't have a great life or at least a good end. Why, how? Is the Hero's Shade truly the Link of OOT/MM? who knows? But the theory is there. Has Mido become that weird puppet master? So many questions and no answer =(

u **** im playing it and u spoiled me, I will haunt u forever xd

You mean demise?

@@novamarpo3 damn this touchscreen

Yoooo that’s far better than having Ganondorf be a reincarnation of Demise.

New headcannon acquired! Lol

I like this theory.

+Elemix ILLUMANTTI CONFIRMED

Nate actually voiced Link For Zelda Universe's dub over of skyward sword lol

linkbox135 Where is it I need to know. EDIT: The dub of SS

At one point I was thinking "when is link going to respond?" ...then I remembered the obvious lol

its also interesting cause you see the golden gauntlet through the whole video in a pool of blood. i would see it more as Gannon's has won, link is badly hurt and maybe missing a hand, and this is Gannon's last gloat before killing him and sparking the hero's fall timeline.

Yo, it took me 4 yrs to find this out

I knew I recognized that chorus somewhere!

Notice it starts out the same as This Old Forest transitions to Time to Go just before the chorus, and Zelda's Lullaby is in there too even

I WAS TODAY WHEN I LEARNED THIS!!!

The chorus is Gerudo Valley, the first verse is the same melody of "Same old Forest" and the pre-chorus is the same as "time to go"

QUICK UPVOTE THIS!!!!

This song is good enough already. Change My Mind.

YES.

Nate will be the true ruler of Game of thrones

I just realize this

well this form of ganondorf was the king of thieves. if I has to guess that was more of demise talking through ganon.

Well there's also the idea that someone would dare to steal from the King of Thieves is perhaps an insult in Ganon's eyes.

Technically it wasn’t Ganondorf he only takes the form of Gerudo which are females. They’re just damned to have Ganondorf reincarnated as the male that’s born every time. He’s destined to be king of the thieves by fate.

@@getoffmylawn6275 According to lore, there's a Gerudo male that's born once every 100 years, and he's to be the new chief. They just got unlucky when the male that happened to be born 100 years later was Ganondorf.

yesss

I was actually going to comment about that, good job on noticing as well.

I couldn't remember the name of it but I could hear it

I was wondering if anyone else noticed xD.

+SirSparkie1 same

But he was never alone. He always had multiple people on his side, backing him up physically and emotionally. Both Saria and the Deku Tree explicitly favored him even before the events at the start of Ocarina of Time. Ganon had... malevolent spirits of spite and vengeance, and that's literally all.

@@dontmisunderstand6041 Ganondorf was king of the Gerudo since birth, and the Twinrova raised him as their son. I'm very interested in stories where the hero and villain have similar backgrounds, and it lead one to evil and one to righteousness.

@@sarebear1800 Like I said... malevolent spirits of spite and vengeance. As for his status... how many people do you imagine have a meaningful personal connection to their monarch?

@@dontmisunderstand6041 The Gerudo aren't spirits, they're just people. I can't speak for personal connection, since I've never had a monarch, but the leader of a kingdom is hardly an outcast.

@@sarebear1800 ... Koume and Kotake are the malevolent spirits. For the record here, you're doing a good job at proving his point. "You could never understand how it feels to be alone." Not just Link, but basically everyone else. Including you, the audience. You can't even *conceptualize* it, that's how foreign it is for you.

He does that with all his songs about games

I never realized how much of that dialogue I remembered until I heard these songs... it feels like I've heard the songs before but that's just because I know the lyrics lol, never had that experience before.

He wanted to steal a nice place because his house sucked.

Dudebro Gaming Wind Waker takes place so far in the future that Ganon is able to quietly reflect on his actions, separated from the heat of the moment. Notably he never uses his desire for the wind as an excuse. He wanted the gentle winds of Hyrule so his people could have a peaceful future, however to obtain them he became evil. He really didn't have a choice in the matter. Demise's curse made sure of that.

So realistically speaking, Ganon wants to be a hero, but can't because he's stuck to his rule? Guess I've got a better reason to main him in Smash now...

@@RoobySwirl sorry not true ganon is evil, he wants to plunge the world into darkness as stated in every game, you cant describe him as not evil because he is literally the reincarnation of demise

Amanda Carmen yet Wind waker ganondorf would be the least evil of all the ganondorfs that have been reincarnated, he wanted to save his kind sure he did evil things but he kinda had to as no king is gonna let some stranger take a godly power for free lol but of course he could of things the longer and harder way but that would lead to the gerudo dying while hes waiting to the triforce peacefully. Ganondorfs intention especially in WW were good but he did evil acts. Another thing to note is ganondorf could have killed WW Link and Zelda/Tetra twice or three times. Ganon let link go and the second time he hurt link but nothing to bad same with tetra or zelda he just knocked her out during that time as he saw the wisdom piece there. And then the final battle and bed scene he could of killed Zelda anytime there or in the final battle instead of idk cutting her limbs or her herself he just slaps her to the point if knockout instead of actually crippling her to the point of no battle. All ganondorf wanted in WW was the triforce to save his people from death, he had good intentions but did evil acts but he wasn’t entirely evil as the other ganondorfs

Yeah that was a nice touch, but there is one thing I don't really get. Many of the other scenes feature rocky terrain and lava, implying it takes place near death mountain or some other volcano. Wouldn't it make more sense for the scenery to be more like gerudo desert, where Ganondorf grew up?

David Blaze maybe, but this is all about the climatic battle toward the end of OOT, which takes place in Hyrule Castle, which Ganondorf has corrupted and suspended above lava and obsidian, which is exactly what we see animated.

DarkMirria1 yeah

DarkMirria1 Oml YES

Another very interesting detail is how the final chorus makes callbacks to "Same Old Forest" which can be heard in the background

DevilBoss Ryan this is probably my fav Zelda song because I've only played Twilight Princess

@@Hamajii Yeah, I thought the whole "hero of our time" line would have made it clear that this is about OoT.

Well considering this is based on ocarina of time I'm assuming it would better fit the ganondorf battle there

On the same boat

yes.

Only half ? He is for ALL my playlist...

Same ATM

same

This song is basically built of echoes to previous songs from the album. "The same old boy from the same old house"-- the first line from "Same Old Forest". "Now I don't mean to alarm you"-- "Time to Go". The chorus has the Gerudo Valley theme just like "Shell". "You heed the ever-sounding call" is a line from "Twisted". "Called you the hero of our time"-- Take a wild guess. "You're just a thief, took what is mine"-- "Hands of a Thief". From verse 2, "And now I need my, I need my room to fly" is another call-back to "Same Old Forest". And finally (other than what you pointed out), you can hear backing vocals in the last chorus sing the chorus of "Same Old Forest" in counterpoint. This song is amazing.

This comment is way, way, way too under-rated. It's so good that you deserve to be the king of this comments section.

Gotta say, I’m okay with that

Yep there's my kink

Silver arrows are the chipped master sword while the magical sword is the depowered skyward sword. This is fake info, but Skyward Sword was really trying to push that as a fact.

Gary Morrison The Master Sword can't break. That's one of the main points in Zelda lore. Having a shard of it would be impossible. Sorry, but I just thought I should point it out. Not trying to be rude or anything.

Gary Morrison Well if I'm not mistaken, Ganon has had all tree pieces in Link to the Past.

Justin Eclipse *three

I would love the fact that if the final game in the timeline it ended with link stabbing Ganon with the master sword and then Ganon destroyed the master sword in his final breaths before dying off forever ending Demise's curse forever finishing the cycle.

Oooo that would be cool :3

Basically, the Gannondorf story of Hyrule Warriors?

it would be a hentai game

I side with Ganondorf, actually. He rejects the gods of Hyrule in all their hubris and vanity, their absence and apathy. Yes, even Demise, who lurks in his soul. His is a belief in humanity being in supreme control. "You can't see it. FOR YOUR GODS DESTROYED YOU." "Everything I do, I do for my people..." The dudes a martyr.

when you put it like that, I cannot deny that Ganondorf may have had a "just" cause if you look at it with a certain perspective, but that's it. perspective. it rules all. why do you think people root for the antihero in games/animes/books? it's because of perspective. because he's the 'main character', everything he does s right and everything done against him is 'wrong' going by that logic, It is perfectly possible for a game about gannondorf to come about wherewe all see gannon as protagonist and link as the big villian. (I think it would be cool if what we did was design the dungeons link had to complete)

I have not gotten that far in the game but this song would fill me with *_Determination!_*

Wrong game m8

Patrik Hajdúch It's still the right game. Even though Ganon isn't on all fours, his Pig-like form would still be considered Beast Ganon. At least, that's how I always categorized him.

+CrimsonEbonyTears I meant the comment referencing undertale

Patrik Hajdúch Ah.

you should make a video about how awesome nates songs are BTW I love you actually that came out a little strong and supporting someone else's channel on yours is kinda weird maybe just give him a slight nod in one of your other videos and keep up the awesome work

Ayy bb

+ConnerTheWaffle Hello Mr. thewaffle, keep up the good work

You watch a ton of the RU-vidrs I do! That's cool

that would be very interesting

That would be a very interesting and refreshing concept for a Zelda game, and honestly I think it makes this song sound that much more awesome.

I think the most likely scenario is Ganondorf being Link's mentor, but turning evil and not entirely because of power; Ganondorf turns evil specifically because he knows Link is fated to one day face him, that fate will pit them against one another someday and by embracing his darkness, Ganondorf subsequently makes it easier for Link to fulfill his destiny and rise from student to master by defeating Ganondorf. Despite being fated to fight one another, in this one tale of the never ending cycle, Ganondorf defies fate by being able to see his student grow from a boy to a man, making him proud to be his teacher and denying the hatred of Demise that persists from legend to legend. Since both Link and Ganondorf use sword techniques, it isn't farfetched; it should be made that Ganondorf uses a trident until their final battle, where he switches to using the same sword he used before becoming corrupted. The dynamic between Ganondorf's will to be his own individual instead of driven by a constant cycle of death and rebirth driven by the past legends should switch once in awhile, demonstrating Ganondorf's struggles to remain himself rather then what Demise's hatred wants him to be. Might be a bit reaching though, I just think it sucks to be stuck in a cycle.

+Minronis I would buy that game in a heartbeat

Ok aways had Saria but ganondorf had no one ganondorf had it worse

nice analysis

Thank you I tried

Jackattack2016 that's the point, is that it's music put to Gerudo Desert

Spencer Olson *lyrics

Your argument is really good, I will give you that. But one could also argue that Demise isn't reincarnated, but more akin to a spirit of sorts. Ganondorf sought the power to save his people and was lead to Hyrule. While there, Demise could very easily have begun to influence him, inciting his anger and hatred of these people with so much wealth that eventually, he lashed out. Especially when Zelda and Link, the two Demise hates just because of his its history with the embodiment of Hylia and people in green tunics. So, in effect, your theory is sound. There are tons of villains throughout the series that are not Ganon, with Vaati and Majora being two off the top of my head. These two are likely also influenced by Demise, with Majora likely having been a fragment of his power sealed away or a corruption of a different power by Demise. Demise's own name implies an "end" in which case, Demise is a spirit of the end, a harbinger of destruction. What do all of these villains have in common? They bring destruction. This is why I believe that Demise could very well have had a strong influence in Lorule's downfall. Because the destruction of their Triforce spelled the end of Lorule without Hyrule's interference. The quest for the Triforce by Ganondorf could very well be Demise seeking the end of Hylia's power. Ganondorf just happened to be in the right place to try and take it, and was almost successful, had the goddess not thought ahead to weigh the hearts of those who touch it first. When it is used subsequently, it is after it has been reforged in that timeline. This includes the Child timeline, as Link still bears the mark on his hand at the end of OoT. This means that the Triforce itself is on its own linear time, and is unaffected by time travel. What was my point...ahh. To conclude: Ganondorf, Link, and Zelda WERE in the right place at the right time for the influences of the past to affect them, and drag them into a conflict. With the establishment of Demise's curse, the legend of Zelda series becomes a horribly sad story of those who must face against each other endlessly. You can observe this influence of Demise in particular throughout the Zelda series in the backstory of each conflict. Ganondorf was merely the first and most successful of all of Demise's own puppets, as Ganondorf as well as Ganon return subsequently to try and destroy Hyrule or control it. Numerous times.

Tanner Bates I like your opinion, but you can't just reject Zelda canon. I, for one, love the Demise plot. It kinda makes you feel sad for Ganondorf, since he can never truly die. It also makes him the ultimate evil, so you hate him even more than if he only destroyed Hyrule at one point in time.

That American Narrator do you though? I can't say I hate him. Because in Wind Waker, I genuinely feel that he was freed from the curse of Demise. He was once again just plain "Ganondorf". This is due to the way Demise formed that curse: "So long as your descendants live, I will return". That curse required Link and Zelda to both to leave a legacy, either together or apart. If the hero had just stopped rising, or the royal family line died out, or someone left Hyrule with 1/3 the triforce (2/3 of which finally happened); the cycle of reincarnation would break, the gods would finally need to intervene to bind or purge Demise in whatever form he donned at the time. Ganondorf would possibly be "born" (read: exorcised) one last time as a mortal, and time would march on. We see a new hero chosen anyway, and the goddesses bestow him with the newly reforged triforce of courage, in a world getting a new start, free of the past and the chains of Hyrule's histories; and that's that.

agreed

Actually, you're not far off. There was a war. A war for the Triforce, which likely ended with the genocide of the Gerudo. Ocarina of Time immediately follows that. And Wind Waker Ganon is the same as Ocarina Ganon, hence his speech at the end. How could he have grown up in the desert if it was underwater? Plus, it's also canon that he escaped the seal Zelda put on him at the end of OoT and that's why the gods flood Hyrule. And, as suggested above, perhaps he isn't Demise reincarnated. He is Ganon reincarnated, but I'd guess that it's only Demise's raw hatred that drives Ganon to be the King of Evil. As for when he meets the king, I doubt he does even demand the spiritual stones. That would be way too obvious. He swears allegiance to the king and then secretly tries to force the other races to hand over the stones. He curses the Great Deku Tree, starves the Gorons, and does something to Jabu-Jabu, the guardian of the Zoras. Then he notices you and just quietly watches as you do his dirty work for him and then jumps in last second to steal the Triforce, which splits into three leaving him only the Triforce of Power. But that's all he needs to reign as king, even if he does want it all.

PLAY THE GAMES

+Adam O Donoghue Is ocarina of time good?

+SunTheGoldenRedPhoenix Seven Imo, yes! Nintendo is releasing Ocarina of Time 3D as a Nintendo Select for 20 Dollars this month actually. After OoT3D, play Majora's Mask 3D. Not sure what you should play after that. I've only played OoT3D and MM3D tbh.

+SunTheGoldenRedPhoenix Seven I say it's overrated, but definitely a good start if you want to try getting into the series. I'd also recommend Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.
