The Legend of Zelda may seem pretty surface level when it comes to the plot, but there is a good amount of lore established in both classic Zelda titles and the media that came along with it. Join me in this compilation as I perform a deep dive on the Zelda media of old and uncover the origins of the things that set the precedent for the rest of the series.

Nintendo confirmed a live action Zelda is in the works. Do you think an adaption of the first two games would work?

@Chaosbean-1443 3 месяца назад

Definitely. Since this is going to be the first Zelda movie, it would be better if it stuck to its roots of the early games. The newer games have great settings and stories, but since they have to be adapted into film with a limited runtime, it has a high chance of becoming an expedition dump. Also, they really can't take the mario movie route this time since it will be much more serious. The great thing is that the first two games aren't too specific on the story elements, so I think, if done right (A BIG IF) it can leave a lot of room for a really interesting adventure.

@PartyDude_19 3 месяца назад

I really hope so, I think that the movie could take a lot of inspiration from the manga by Ran Maru as they introduce some interesting elements to the franchise such as Link being trained by a werewolf named Gump or that Link is accompanied by a parrot named Watto

@Chris-bz2rf 3 месяца назад

YES especially the first one, I could see it in the same vain of the dnd movie with link just running around and just doing random stuff, maybe he might accidentally do some dungeons out of order and it could widen the audience of the original Zelda, as most people write it off as too cryptic

In regards to Link's fate after waking the Wind Fish and ending up adrift in the ocean: in A Link Between Worlds there's Gramps who is the strongest opponent in the game, wears a green tunic, wields a Master Sword and any item Link can use and has a unique Zelda leitmotif in the end credits. It's not a big stretch to assume that Gramps is the Link from Past/Awakening/Oracles, running a sidequest to train new Links in his old age.

Awake Zelds does join Link on his adventures, and at one point while she was dressed as Link during a battle, she ends up killed by Ganon's minions to resurect Ganon... And when Link goes to revive Zelda, Ganon attacks em. And much to both their horrors, the corpse of Zelda falls into lava.... So yea to hide the fact that the current princess died horribly, when the sleeping Zelda was awakened, they all just pretended she was the other Zelda all along due to their similar looks... it's extremely messed up!

@ShytPump Месяц назад

The way the manga of a link to the past ended was realistic and bitter sweet. And i mean the version that was trickled out over a season of Nintendo Power mag in the early 90s. In case you never read it, it ends with Zelda approaching link as he places the master sword in its pedestal in the lost woods. He is all pimped out because he's now leader ift the Hyrulian Knights and protector of the Triforce. She tells him that while peace has been restored, its bitter sweet because her responsibilities to the kingdom, and his as a protector, disable them from ever seeing each other informally. She laments this sacrifice they make for peace ajtd covets her memories of being captive by Ganon because during that time she was connected to Link. She sheds a tear and her horse trots her away while link stands and sadly watches her leave. Then it goes to a shot a of the sword still in the pedestal, but now covered in moss and vines, showing that it was intouched for likely centuries. This indicated that Hyrule remains in a long period of peace from Ganon. Fantastic ending and I'd love to see something like that in the movie.

@Ironcabbit 3 месяца назад

I always thought that the first two Zeldas would fit into the 80s fantasy movie worlds: Legend, Willow, Ladyhawke, Conan the Barbarian, Kull the Conqueror, Beastmaster, Krull, etc. and A Link to the Past started the Zelda Series as we know it.

I experienced all of this in real time as it came out. It’s rare to see retrospective content take the releases in context like you did. I really appreciated that. The summer between getting the Nintendo Fun Club issue (pre Nintendo Power) that featured Zelda 2, and getting the game felt like an eternity. I was so hyped for 2, and loved it. ALttP blew me away - I still hold it above all others in my own head cannon. I remember how amazing little details were in this game, like the sound of the rain outside the initial Hyrule Castle run, but going into a basement level, you no longer hear it. Great video, man!

@gannon_banned 3 месяца назад

I really wish more people knew of the stories and just how deep the stories of just the first 2 games themselves went. I could never hate Zelda 2 because even though the game itself is definitely insane, the story of the game over screen where Link is literally SACRIFICED and they use his blood to resurrect Ganon... like what? For a children's game in the 80s you don't expect such a dark story but I absolutely love the manuals for providing us with the backstories of the games. I wish more people would give the first games credit for giving us a story while also providing us with an action adventure/fantasy dungeon crawler experience as best they could for the hardware had at the time I haven't even watched the video yet but already I just know I'm gonna love this based on the title! Great video already LOL

I grew up with a SEGA Genesis, and rarely got to play any Nintendo games when I was a kid. The first two Zelda games were some of my favorites when I did have the chance. I saw a babysitter's husband playing Faces of Evil when I was little. At first I was really confused because I knew the character on the screen was supposed to be Link, but it was so different. However, I also thought it looked really cool, and too my small brain, even scary at times. I wished I could have played it myself. Watching him play Super Metroid was also my introduction to that series, even though I didn't get to play any of the games myself until Prime.

My first Zelda game was A Link to the Past. I’ve played nearly every single game; and this is an amazing video! I’m playing Tears of the Kingdom as I watch this.

Valiant Comics' take on Samus Aran remains, to this day, the best interpretation of the character ever. Nobody else, not even Nintendo themselves, has managed to top it.

Do you think that Link only vocalizes shouts and hyas because that's how the plater had to defeat some enemies in the first game? With that whole thing about Link and the player working in tandem, I feel like there's a small chance it could be a cheeky little reference

53:14 Retroactively, the Nightmare's final form may be based on Vaati, the villain from Four Swords who first appeared on the GBA version of Link to the Past. He had a similar form with swinging arms.

This is really random but at about 41:32 it was mentioned that star signs were associated with the three goddesses and I would be curious, WHAT are their star signs? I‘ve been trying to find the answer but I only know the element each of them represents.

The first two Zelda games have such good gamefeel that I compare them to games like dark souls in its "precise clunkiness", they're always perfectly fair, but the moment to moment gameplay is difficult and immersive, but fairly simple when done right. The rest is knowledge based gameplay, so you either muddle through or learn it a little more every time you go through the time to explore it's world. That said they all feel a little bs until you get the hang of them or start getting wise to their tricks. It's definitely not NES hard.

There is no Wind Fish. It's Link's dream, they are Link's nightmares. Marin isn't coming to terms with her impending unexistence; she's a figment of his own subconscious, guiding him to accept his own death.

I saw a great theory about the two Zelda’s existing together at the end of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Zelda wields the Triforce of Wisdom, Link wields the Triforce of Courage and ‘awakened’ Zelda wields the Triforce of Power. Together they usher in a golden era of peace for Hyrule. If I remember correctly this also ends that particular timeline.

Sony really tried to put the screws to Nintendo over that Playstation bit. They basically had a team that kept pushing Nintendo about a partnership, and Nintendo agreed to explore it, at which point Sony announced the Playstation and then told Nintendo they were getting all the profits from CD games that were sold, while leaving the cartridge profits to Nintendo. Sony was basically going to rob them blind by moving all development to CD, and basically just use Nintendo to get into the market.

I appreciate the amount of work that was put into this project. X3 Side note, I, too, would like to see the Oracle games remade, but unfortunately, in order for Nintendo to remake those or "The Minish Cap", they'd probably have to talk to Capcom (Which I suspect is also why the Oracles themselves never appear outside of these three games.).
