The 10 BEST Legend of Zelda Cutscenes

My personal favorite cutscene which is also the most underrated scene in Zelda was in Majora’s mask when Link plays the song of healing and Pamela’s father turns back to normal. It’s so simple yet so touching.

The mid-credits scene for Twilight Princess where Midna fully destroys the mirror was just heart-breaking to me and stands out as one of the best cutscenes.

One of the most heartbreaking was Midna's sacrifice, and Ganon breaking her empty mask in his hand. Leading to the sadness of her later goodbye... dangit that game pulls at heartstrings!

The giants stopping the moon!! my favorite of all time, especially with the music playing in the background

for me it has to be the moment zelda turns into a dragon, such a powerful scene

I don't really remember a concept in entertaining media where a character survives its execution and immediately kills the executioner. So after almost 18 years this cutscene still slaps

Shoutout to learning where the name "Tears of the Kingdom" came from, as you finally learn the Divine Dragon's origin and Zelda's resolve. Genuinely made me choke up and almost cry. I don't think any game had ever made me as resolute to defeat the antagonist after watching that scene. Cheers!

In the Secret Ending of Tears of the Kingdom, Mineru had theorized that reversing Zelda’s Draconification requires Sonia’s Time power and Rauru’s Light Power to be channeled through Link’s arm; but activating magic is also in need of strong motive. That is when Zelda smiles at her knight knowing how much his princess means to him. Now going back to when Rauru and Sonia's spirits appeared before Link standing above the Light Dragon, they channeled both light and time through him. But what requires most to reveres the effect of Draconification is a strong motive which neither the first rulers of Hyrule have. A fellow RU-vid user pointed out a principle that "magical powers can only be activated or exercised if the actor has a strong motive". It makes makes a ton of sense that Link's love for Zelda brought her back, and Zelda's love for Link in Breath of the Wild had both save him and awakened her powers. So it isn't a knight fulfilling his duty as her appointed knight. And it is not a friendship love. No. But it is a romantic love. I hope this comment does help you understand how Zelda is able to transformed back. Fun note: the Piano riff is a direct callback to the opening of Breath of the Wild.

The Legend of Zelda is incredible

The last catch in TOTK is my favorite ending playable cutscene ever. Magnificent

I'm still Your Zelda was a knife in the chest and the reason why I love Skyward Sword so much

The Zelda Cutscenes that REALLY sent Chills Down my Spine is seeing Ganondorf himself alive in the Beginning Game of *Tears of the Kingdom.* That's Downright Scary and Terrifying! 😱😱

One of my favorites is in Between Worlds, when we finally realize that Hilda was the one behind the scheme to resurrect Ganon to get the triforce back to her kingdom.

Glad you did include Link's and Epona's victory pose from Twilight Princess. Some minor ones I also like: the rising of the Tower of the Gods in Wind Waker, Link pulling the Master Sword (every game), Majora's Mask has several like the Giants stopping the moon, those that are about the Skull Kid, the interloper creepy scene in Twilight Princess.

Mineru’s tale about the Imprisoning War and Rauru’s sacrifice is more narrative than the same retelling the same story that was told by the Ancient Sages in Tears of the Kingdom.

I somehow forget how goddamned cinematic Zelda games can be. The BotW/TotK era is epic in scope, WW, TP and SS are legendary with their stories and characterization, and Link's Awakening and OoT are melancholy as fuck!

The thing I would like to include in *I’m still your Zelda* is a sense of guilt Zelda of not wanting to used Link for her benefits but she knows she must due to the heavy destinies neither one of them can avoid. And looking back at the opening where she spend her days happily with her childhood friend and crush in Skyloft, she is slowly losing her innocence as she went to each shrines praying to be purified in order to retrieve memories of Hylia herself. And throwing away her desires when the world is at stake. While true she is Hylia reincarnated, Zelda is her own person and always be Link’s Zelda.

Among my most favorite cutscenes is this one from Twilight Princess in which Zant gets what he deserves. Zant puts Link and Midna through so much hardship, and his almost killing Midna back at Lanayru's spring is unforgivable. It is so satisfying when the two heroes finally face him down in Palace of Twilight. After Link hacks and slashes at the usurper king and defeats him in the boss fight, Midna deals the killing blow to Zant, impaling the bad guy with her hair and making him pop like a balloon. That has to be one of the best and sweetest revenge scenes in Zelda history.

The final Kass song from Breath of the Wild. At first, he's an annoying character showing up on strange places to lead to shrine puzzles...but then you start enjoying it and get joy when hearing his accordion on the wind. Then you meet his kids, and realize the backstory... ...and then he sings his song, revealing he knew who you were all along, and the song is great too. Most unexpected tear up in a Zelda game ever for me.

I think Midna's departure is even more heart wrenching than Fi's, as she destroyed the only gateway, making it no longer possible for them to see each other again, unlike what Fi said.

Oh, another favourite for me is getting the Master Sword in Twilight Princess. As Link approaches in his wolf form, the Master Sword awakens and the power it exudes is enough to fling Midna from his back. Standing his ground, Link lets out a defiant bark and light bursts from him. As Midna sees the shard of dark magic form in her hand, she watches on, impressed by Link claiming the Master Sword, being accepted by it, and the surrounding fog being purged by a ray of heavenly light. The music that accompanies it is just perfect!

Anju and Kafei's wedding is legendary. They're so happy and in love that they just wait for the world to end together.

I’m still your Zelda will forever make me sob. I believe it’s the most emotion link has ever shown in a cutscene too

The reveal of Zelda under the Sheik garb in oot

One I have a fondness for is the ending of A Link Between Worlds. Hilda, realising the error of her ways, sends Link and Zelda back to Hyrule, making peace with their fate. Zelda, emphasising with Hilda and her plight, makes a joint wish with Link on the Triforce. Back in Lorule, Ravio and Hilda are shocked by a sudden quake and the explosion of the monument that had linked Hyrule and Lorule. Fearing the worst, they watch as something forms in the sky. Hilda's expression changes from concern to a gasp and tears of joy as she realises that, in spite of everything she put them through, Link and Zelda have used their Triforce to restore Lorule's Triforce and a bright new day dawns in Lorule. Also, I the BotW cutscene I prefer is the actual awakening of Zelda's power, as she pushes in front of an exhausted Link to try to protect him, even if she can't protect anyone else.

One of the most shocking moments for me as a fan since the very first game came out was when you became Adult Link in OoT, the ominous feeling as you left the temple of time that very first time gave me goosebumps.

The Prologue Skyward Sword managa also adds some lore about the Goddess Hylia and her first hero whom resembles Link.

The moments that made me chill were : learning that Hyrule was the country that was flooded in wind waker and the second one was in the same game. The king decided that it needed to be done with Hyrule and let the country be flooded

Top 10 best final fantasy cutscenes

You guys make great videos! I love your Zelda content!

My favourite is Ganondorf's survival after being run through with the sword in TP. Another iconic one has to be Lanayru's explanation of how the world was created and how the dark sorcerers attempted to corrupt it.

When Midna got back her human form... For a family company, they sure know how to create an "interesting" character... Japan, man...

Seriously.... the Zelda movie has so much to draw from. Really hope they do their homework

I really love the ending of phantom hourglass from the fight with bellumbeck to the end credits, as well as libk gaining yhe master sword in age of calamity

Zelda turning into light dragon on top for me

Zelda sending back Link to his original form as a kid in oot. I liked that very much.

Near the end of BOTW, when the divine beasts all fire on Calamity Ganon and take half his health away. You really felt the 100 years of PAYBACK. And the music perfectly matches the scene

The end of OOT Ganon battle where Zelda calls on the Sages to help seal Ganon always his me hard, ever since I was a kid, especially the content look on Saria's face when she knows her best friend was successful in defeating Ganondorf.

As someone who is into cool cutscenes rather than emotional ones,my favorite is when Link meets Ganondorf in Ocarina Of Time after getting all three stones

Love this list ❤

Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity cutscene of everyone being teleported and Princess Zelda speech for the final battle should have counted as a HM

I LOVE ALL OF LEGEND OF ZELDA! Great List!!

one that should have made the list. zelda sending link back to the past at the end of ocarina of time. obviously there are very strong scenes in ocarina of time , like the sheik scenes, the master sword pull, navi flying away, ganondorf blasting back link after zelda ran away with impa, any scene with saria in it, the deku tree dying,

I'm surprising the ending of Ocarina Of Time isn't on the list

My favorite cutscene would have to be Ganondorf's rebirth (you witness a king's revival) in Tears of the Kingdom. Everything about this scene - from the eerie and menacing music to Matt Mercer's incredible voice work - showed me just how strong and dangerous of a foe I was coming up against. When I first saw this scene, chills went down my spine. That's how great and impactful this scene was. But ultimately, the best thing about this scene was that I was witnessing the rebirth of one of gaming's most iconic villains.

I feel personally attacked that Midna's goodbye at the end of Twilight Princess was excluded from this roundup. I still think about that from time to time.

Sonia's death due to how unexpected and quick the whole situation escalated.

I just watched the end of OoT yesterday and forgot how impactful it was. The first 3D Zelda. Very simple and blocky compared to later titles. No voice acting. Yet it really is an emotional scene… but Midna breaking the mirror at the end of Twilight Princess and dealing herself away forever is phenomenal. The best support character gone forever. Plus the artwork is amazing.

The moon crashing into Termina should be #2 on the list behind Link pulling the master sword in Oot

SNUBBED - Saria says goodbye to Link.

Zelda turning into a dragon not being on this list is criminal. It was so powerful and brought a lump to many throats

My favorite is saying goodbye to midna in twilight Princess

Age of Calamity, Sidon rescuing Mipha

My favorite cutscene would be in BOTW when all the Champions and their Divine Beasts shoot laser beams at Ganon. The music was awesome

6:03 Despite all he's done, even w/ EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING TELLING ME IT'S WRONG, I STILL want to offer this version of Ganondorf a chance @ redemption by bringing him to King Rauru's Era...

Twilight princess is still my favorite Zelda game. I personally love the darker art style and tone of the story. Always thought this animation style could be perfect for an anime adaption but obviously that’ll never happen

I had plenty but catching Zelda flat out is the best of them all. Flat out.

Nah bro lol Valoo lighting up Ganondorf like the Fourth of July is the best scene in the Wind Waker lmao🎉

It's criminal that you didn't include the healing Darmani cutscene from Majora's Mask or the Dark Link Cutscene in Twilight Princess.

Imprisoning war cutscene is better than the catch 100%

The memory with Zelda crying in Breath of the Wild gave me mixed feelings. 😢

You know, there was nothing about ocarina of time and one of the best moments was Zelda running away with Impa from Ganondorf.

The Legend of Zelda is GOATED

I think this is a bit of a cheat but I like a moment that is not directly from the zelda franchise. I like several scenes from Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity. From the close battle between Link and Revali, the decendants of the champions traveling trough time to help, or some that affect me especially as the bother that I am, every interaction between adult Sidon and Mipha. But my personal favorite is Link getting the master sword in Age of Calamity. The scene was made to build hype, and it does it perfectly while playing the theme that always plays when getting the master sword immediately followed by an epic version of the series' main theme.

When ganondorf blast link with his dark magic in oot cmon

TOTK ending is PEAK

No oot?

Should've had getting the Master Sword from Ocarina of Time. Quite literally changed the game. Also for my personal TOTK cutscene, I would've chosen Zelda's transformation into the Light Dragon, but that ending is a solid pick.

Link, Zelda is your...

You might want to fix number 10 because the cutscene is glitching out

Not sure if this counts but when you go in the moon in majoras mask and walk towards that tree on the hill it’s just so…mmmm

Waking the Wind Fish is a highlight? 1:44 When this part happens I like to play Lost Horizon - Highlander (The One). 4:51 I'm surprised Link didn't do this when Zelda got trapped in crystal in Ocarina of Time. Zelda's despair is better in Japanese. 6:55 I actually thought Ganondorf was crying at first. 7:30 Just when we thought he was dead, just to screw with us the Goddesses gave him the Triforce of Power. You pronounced Fi's name properly. 9:32 I don't think Link would be able to catch up with Zelda. Wouldn't they fall at the same speed? 10:00 EPIC!

For me it is last memory from totk

When Zelda said “ Oh Link.. I’m home” in the English version of Tears of the Kingdom, I believe it is not just she really returned to the Hyrule she belongs to. But Link is her home. In Japanese however, Zelda said this: "ただいま... リンク" (pronounced as I'm home Link). These words depicts that is either someone close to family or a person you shared space with (aka lover). This is heavily implicates that Link and Zelda are indeed lovers.

Tbh I was so hoping The Catch was part of this list. TotK may feel weaker than BotW, that ending just felt so earned

Now from Final Fantasy

Are you serious?!?!?!?!? The moon crashing down on Termina is not on the list?!?!?!?

Music Lover ❤❤❤❤ like 👍👍👍👍

WW Ganon WAS NOT sympathetic! Same Ganon from OoT who in seven years of controlling Hyrule did NOTHING to help his people.

No ocarina of time

kinda surprised this one isn’t here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mI-9g46bmgI.htmlsi=VRsQKEzxefDU5e26

Early👀

The english sub is ugly… French version is so much better.
