Link is unaware he is watching a play with a disguised Ganondorf. Ganondorf begins talking. Did you ever hear the tragedy of Princess Zelda the Wise? I thought not, it's no story the Six Sages would tell you. It's a Gerudo Legend, Princess Zelda was a Hylian Sage of the Light. She was so powerful, yet so wise. She could use the Jars to influence the Fairies to create Hearts. She had such a knowledge of the Light side, she could even keep the ones she cared about from a Game Over. The magic meter is the pathway to many abilities, some consider to be game breaking. Princess Zelda became so powerful that the only thing she feared was losing her power, which eventually of course she did. Unfortunately, she taught her knight everything she knew, then her knight took the bottled fairies to shield surf down a sheer cliff. Ironic, she could save others from Game Over, but not herself from heartbreak. Is it possible to learn this power? Not from any Sage. EDIT: Does this make much sense? I don't know, I thought it was funny to write.

In pretty much every Zelda game you can rename link to whatever you want. Zelda is a much more consistent name in the series than Link. We really only hear 'Link' when we talk about him outside of our own game sessions. Or when we boot smash bros 😆.

@midgetydeath 8 дней назад

No, only the Zelda of Skyloft was the goddess. The rest are all mortal descendants with particularly strong sealing power. This is why they are named Zelda and why she is called the Princess of Destiny. She's not _THE_ Zelda. Unlike Link and Ganondorf. You could think of all three as representing different types of fate through time. Zelda does not reincarnate in any way, each one is simply someone fated to be the Princess of Destiny. Link is pseudo-reincarnated as the Chosen Hero by inheriting the Hero's Spirit (which is kind of like spiritual essence in Japanese, it doesn't translate well to English). Ganondorf either just plain doesn't die or fully reincarnates as the King of Evil.

I remember my dad telling me that when he was a kid he had a NES.He only had Super Mario and Duck Hunt but he used to trade games with his friends,one of his friends let him borrow the original The Legend of Zelda.Since he didn’t know english at the time (so he couldn’t read the manual or the little story excerpt in the beginning of the game)he always thought the protagonist was nemed Zelda since there was no picture of a Princess or a woman in the cartridge of the game he associated Link as Zelda.It is only recently when Breath of the Wild came out that he would sometimes watch me play that he would be very confused when I called him Link “Link” I remember he telling me “who is Link?” I told him it was the protagonist.Thats when he explained to me that all this time he always thought Link was named Zelda cause he never actually beat the original game so he never saw Princess Zelda so he never knew about her.I always thought that was a pretty cool story and didn’t really occur to me that he never knew the protagonists real name.

7:32 - speaking of your Princess Zelda Power Ranking vid, as I commented on there, Zelda2’s backstory of every princess of Hyrule having to be named Zelda in memory of the cursed one is a handy way to solve the issue of the Zelda from the Oracle games appearing to be younger than the one in aLttP, despite featuring the same Link; the Oracle Zelda is simply the younger sister of the one in aLttP, and both are named Zelda due to the old law/tradition.

@firionkaiser8291 14 дней назад

It only became an actual law due to the events of the Tragedy of Princess Zelda which happened between Triforce Heroes and Zelda 1. Beforehand it was just a tradition. that started before the events of Minish Cap. Although I'm not certain if said tradition applied to all princesses including siblings. Her being called Zelda the First may imply that several centuries went by to the point where that tradition stopped long enough for the Royal Family to forget. Probably means ALBW Zelda was the last one to be named Zelda until the Sleeping Princess.

@lordofuzkulak8308 13 дней назад

@@firionkaiser8291 unless I’m mistaken, there’s no date given for when she was cursed, meaning that she could easily be from sometime between Skyward Sword and Minish Cap. Even if it was more recent than that, all it needs to happen is between OoT and aLttP and it still fits.

@firionkaiser8291 13 дней назад

@@lordofuzkulak8308 Well it's confirmed that her tragedy still happened after most of the Downfall Timeline events/games (This consists of ALttP's Imprisoning War backstory, ALttP, LA, OoX, ALBW, and TFH) so that includes being after SS-OoT. Her tragedy is one of the main keys that lead to the decline of Hyrule that we see in Zelda 1 and Zelda II, the other being that Hyrule doesn't have the full triforce anymore and the king (Zelda the First's brother) was unfit to use the triforce before hand because of his corrupted heart, eventually becoming a king full of regret. Between SS and Minish Cap doesn't really work due to two reasons. The interloper war mentioned in TP which was confirmed to take place at the end of the Era of Chaos is a pre Hyrule Kingdom Establishment event. OoT Rauru used the remains of the sealed grounds to create the Temple of Time and seal the Triforce within the newly formed Sacred Realm with the Master Sword being the key. Remaining undisturbed until the events of OoT (unless Nintendo decides to reveal new lore later down the line). The second reason being that after TFH, the triforce was used for several generations by each king of Hyrule with a good heart, creating a Golden Age era that would last until the death of the last pure hearted king. His next of kin being his son who he didn't trust with the full triforce and Zelda the First. There wasn't a Hyrule Kingdom prior to the Interloper War and post IW the Triforce is sealed inside the ToT. Between OoT and ALttP doesn't work for similar reasons. This was when the original Imprisoning War took place. Hyrule didn't have the Triforce in their possession as Ganon had the full thing and Hyrule wouldn't gain it back until Link defeated him ALttP. Above all else the whereabouts of the Triforce of Courage being in the Great Palace is what caused her to be cursed in the first place (aside from keeping quiet of course) kinda debunks any other placement aside from after TFH and the Golden Age. Since it was supposed to remain there until Link obtains in Zelda II.

That’s my take as well. It provides both a neat explanation for why these figures are always called Link and Zelda (they’re more titles for those who embody the Hero and the Princess than literal names), and for the three timelines. They’re not alternate universes but rather different Hylian subcultures’ versions of the legends.

@theoaremevano3227 14 дней назад

I call it a bit of both. Link finds the Master Sword, he fights Ganon, he meets the Hero's Shade, etc. There's always some tie to the old tales, but only some of it is clear. The rest, from his perspective, fits the bill for a 'legend'. Details may simply have been wrong, or embellished, names may have been forgotten, but he can't really be sure. For example, Link in Ocarina of Time didn't know for sure about Headmaster Gaebora in Skyward Sword, he only heard from the Gossip Stones that "rumor has it, the Owl Kaepora Gaebora is the reincarnation of an ancient Sage." The players get to see things differently, but each game is made with the in-world perspective that those old details only 'might' be true. So the 'just a story' aspect is true in-world.

@javiervasquez625 13 дней назад

It does explain why the "Era of Myth" is a thing in the Wild duology after any and all historical records from the ancient past (eg: the earlier games in the timeline) were lost leaving nothing but mere legends and tales for the modern Hylians to remember.

@StarlasAiko 13 дней назад

There is only one Legend of Zelda, but it gets retold over the generations, always slightly altered to fit the contemporary culture and worries. It is like the generational changes that happened with the retellings of the King Arthur saga or Robin Hood legend. We know, there was a Chosen Hero, named Link in the most popular historical version and therefor named Link in every retelling since. There is a Holy Maiden. There are Great Sages. There is the return of a Great Evil Conquerer. There is a Legendary Sword with which the Chosen Hero in the end defeats the Great Evil Conquerer. The Chosen Hero will travel between two worlds, the real world and another *(typically, in most versions of the Legend, the Spirit World, but also the World of the Past or the World of the Future). These things are equal in all versions of the tale. These things we hold true, no matter what details the current cultural backdrop set upon it. The Legend of Zelda is a myth, a gospel, a lesson. There will always be a Great Evil trying to take over the world, but as long as Wisdom and Compassion rule the hearts of the people, Good will emerge victorious, securing prosperity for all...until the next time Evil makes a move.

@theoaremevano3227 13 дней назад

@@javiervasquez625 : The Era of Myth may have been an effort to escape the orbit of Ocarina of Time, which for a long time was the source of the ancient legends of most of their games. Almost every game either took place after it, before it, or was in direct sequence to a game that did.

I recently learned that "Densetsu" in Japanese means "Legend", but more specifically, as a legend that is spread by word of mouth. So knowing that, it would make sense why Tears of the Kingdom had that story with Princess Zelda after all.

@momsaccount4033 14 дней назад

For a while, my personal idea as to why the name is as it is, at least in the context of Breath of the Wild, is that the game is called Legend of Zelda because, although we play as Link, Zelda is the main character that goes through a character arc. It functions as a sort of parallel to the Ghibli film Princess Mononoke, a film that BotW’s creation is most likely inspired by. The film is named Princess Mononoke because the character who goes through the most significant development in the movie isn’t Ashitaka, the character we follow, but rather Mononoke. You can draw parallels between the surface level characters of Link and Zelda with Ashitaka and Mononoke, even though their roles and personalities are very different. BotW isn’t a direct parallel to Princess Mononoke, it’s just inspired by the latter.

I’ve always imagined these games to be a bedtime story that a (possibly elderly) Zelda would be reading to her’s and Link’s daughter (or son, doesn’t really matter tbh) in the far future of Hyrule where the cycle has finally ended, the last Zelda game for us would be the point where the book finally closes, Zelda kisses the now sleeping child’s forehead goodnight, and leaving the room, closing the door behind her. All canon games’ stories (and AoC) are included in it, each chapter being the next game.

I like the mix of real world history and in universe lore you go into. I also wanted to mention that one of my favorite aspects of Tears of the Kingdom’s story is that because of how far back Zelda goes, and how many of her actions in that time are recorded in stone (or recounted by the ancient sages), Zelda’s story in that game is also somewhat of a Legend itself by the time Link is learning about it. The fact that Zelda’s final fate was something that very few knew (or could even see, since the dragons are apparently not visible to everyone) means that to most of Hyrule, the truth was obscured and the stories they had, which they try to come up with their own translations and interpretations, really were “Legends of Zelda”, which Link had to sift through in order to find out the real truth. There’s aspects of TotK’s story I wish were a little more rounded out but that aspect of another example of an in universe “Legend of Zelda” is something I really enjoyed about the game.

Btw, even though the Zelda are “entirely separate”, it’s still the same Zelda in a different body since the spirit is reincarnated, at least in the same way; also the timeline does not exist. They never confirmed it

@firestar01234 14 дней назад

Loved the video! As complex, at times questionable in sequence, and out of the realms of logic. You have to admire the storytelling and mystical aura this series, and especially its older incarnations give you. It IS an adventure to delve through the series and DOES leave a legendary impact on those that choose to pick up and experience it.

Interesting style of video! I think I prefer longer form content but I’m sure it’s a bit easier for you to make shorter vids like this so if you did more like this, I’d be down for those too! 👍

@shuraizo2877 14 дней назад

I like this format for trivia that would take much, much longer to be published due to requiring other facts or theories to go along for a longer video

@A-A-Ron3 12 дней назад

I like the shorter video as it fit the amount of time I had this morning for video watching so it's nice to have a mix of long and short videos or even long vs short versions of the same story so if intrigued by the short version then you can continue to the longer version...of course this is just my humble opinion on the matter

@faith-by-faith 13 дней назад

I remember when I first played Breath of the Wild, Zelda referencing other games made me think that all this time we haven't really been playing through a "timeline" at all, just different tellings of the same legend that probably didn't happen. That's just the vibe I got. I have no idea what the team had in mind, I just like the stories.

No one ever asks "Why is it called 'The Lord of the Rings' and not 'Frodo's Journey'?" Lots of things are named after the _goal_ rather than the hero. Zelda isn't unique. "The Wizard of Oz", etc...

@philw3039 13 дней назад

I thought of those two titles in particular too...and Nintendo has even done this with their other IP, which is why we have the "Metroid" franchise and not the "Samus Aran" series.

@AzarathMetreon 12 дней назад

“Link is the main character” isn’t exactly accurate. He’s just our perspective character. Link is Zelda’s defender in every incarnation, but she’s the one who drives the plot against Ganondorf/Demise.

@gaelonhays1712 9 дней назад

I like the short-form stuff as long as it doesn't take away from the longer videos. Eight minutes is nice for some trivia or a topic too small for anything else (but too large for a short); I also still want to see 15-45 minutes (or 2 hours, when I finally watch the Disappointing Masterpiece video) of facts, theories, and summaries. And the "Which is strongest" videos are great, especially for the Triforce wielders. I'm still happy that Spirit Tracks Zelda got as far as second place, and I understand why Minish Cap Link lost to Link (To The Past).

I mean, irl they just liked the name Zelda. But if you needed a in universe explanation it could fit with the first game in the timeline which is Skyward Sword. That Zelda brought Hylians down to the surface from the Sky, which is pretty Legendary.
