Zelda Breath of the Wild - All Memories (Zelda & Link Cutscenes) Full Past Story 

Thanks for all likes and comments. It's fun reading your opinions. I did a new video with every cutscene (almost 2 hours) in the game, hope you will enjoy it as well: goo.gl/XkNsbL

In every clip with Link he just looks like "I am silent but I want to scream. I hate all of you."

When the master sword was flashing and ringing I wanted Fi to come out so bad and tell Zelda that her wii remote was at low battery

I like Link’s voice actor the best. It’s so magical

Zelda: This flower is a endangered species[...] Link 100 years later: lmao let me just cook this shit

Zelda: There is a voice inside that sword. Tell me, what is it saying? Link: It's saying my battery's low!

Link died because he had no shield to parry guardian beams

"Your silence speaks volumes" Link: SOMEONE GETS IT!

Zelda: “As brave as you are, that does not make you immortal” Me: *ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT PRINCESS*

Zelda: You're not going to die Link: lol watch me

I like how Link and Zelda's relationship grow throughout the memories, even though Link doesn't say a single word. The power of *listening to a friends problems.*

"The Silent Princess is a rare endangered species." Me, remembering that I always picked them up from their peaceful homes so That I could make stealth potions I never use effectively meaning I'm the reason they are endangered: ....cool

She goes to the desert with normel clothes, but we need a special outfit every time we need to go somewhere.

Zelda: "Stop following me!" Link: "Well, EXCUUUUUSE ME, Princess!"

"Link, tell me..." Link: "HYAAH!"

26:28 is probably my favorite moment. The sheer sadness on Zelda’s face and the fact that Link being so closed off is open and comforting to her in this time of need is just so beautiful

Finally a Zelda game in which Zelda isn't a superior wise being without any personality shortcomings.

Zelda: You're going to be just fine Link: [dies]

Don't you just love how all Link's memories are in 3rd person?

The more I played this game, and the more I encountered memories, the more I realized that this game was Zelda's story all along.

She gets protec She gets attacc But most importantly, She just wants link to love her bacc

I love that Zelda is a complete historical/scientific nerd in this game lol

for those of you who are bothered by Link's apparent lack of emotions, how about this? He is a knight. He is officially recognized as a knight, in fact really THE knight of hyrule. Knights, like in real life, are expected to be silent and show little emotion, it's basically part of their job description. It's demanded that they remain silent and professional in any situation (unless commanded otherwise for whatever reason), especially in the presence of a Royal family member. so I guess you can use that as an explanation for his stoicness. Of course, the meta explanation would be that he's the avatar, but I feel the first reasoning works well enough. :) *EDIT:* Apparently, according to Zelda's diary, Link is so reserved and silent because of the responsibility he holds, and the fact that everyone looks up to him as the chosen hero, it pressured him in such a way that he feels as though he should stay strong and silently withstand any and all hardships that comes his way. The burden of his destiny limited his ability of expression. That's actually pretty deep.

I see everyone is shocked about Link killing two Lynels and like 20 bokos, but look again. It's actually THREE LYNELS he actually killed. With only a sword while protecting the princess. He's got to be the strongest Link. Except for his swimming ability.

“There must.. there must be something I can do to help-“ *30 second unskippable shaving razor ad*

IM OBSESSED WITH WATCHING ZELDA SOB INTO LINK'S ARMS BECAUSE HE JUST HOLDS HER AND ITS THE CUTEST THING EVEN THOUGH SHES CRYING HE SEEMS SO CONCERNED FOR HER

"Maybe we can just settle his one on one" Falco vs Link. Final Destination. No items.

17:59 Zelda: How do u know what's good for me?! King of hyrule: *THATS MY OPINION!!!*

Ravioli: Haha you can't reach this Divine Beast. Link: Also Link: *Random debris, stasis, greatsword spin, upwards arrow*

Zelda: when he returns, can you please relay this message... Tell him I- --Fukien tree interrupts-- TELL HIM WHAT!!!!!!!

Mipha: The cute fishy lady Urbosa: The thicc badass lightning lady Revali: The bragging birdie man (ravioli) Daruk: Your potato best friend Link: the hero everyone’s thirsty for Zelda: The chick who wants you to eat frogs

The way he fails his duty as a knight in order to comfort her is amazing! He may be silent, but he has a huge heart.... And they way she cried into his chest after he died was emotional....

You know in the “Making of a Champion” book, Zeldas journey is detailed with a map. She was near Hateno village on the field, then made her way to the Lost Woods ON FOOT before walking to Hyrule castle and made her way through the docks up to the top floor and sealed Ganon. That woman is a trooper. Not only was she injured and scaresly clad in some cermonial dress. She snuck past all the monsters, traversed enemy territory and did it all ON FOOT no horses no fast travel, she walked that entire trip on flipflops. This game more then ever made me respect and love Zelda

"Be sure to protect her with your life" *dies*

Lol when your girlfriend takes up all the 128 gigabits on your tablet of taking photos of flowers

omg I just realized they didn't bother getting Link an English voice actor! listen, his accent sounds Japanese.

Zelda’s “What’s wrong with me?” Just hits me HARD for some reason and it HURTS

Huh, no matter which incarnation, Link sure has a way with the Zoras

Everyone is over here talking about Zelda's voice and her development but I'm over here focused on Mipha's expression when Revali started talking shit about link. Mipha looked ready to fry that bird's ass quicker than Colonel Sanders.

i just noticed zelda's lullaby playing when she finally uses her power! good lord that sounds beautiful

Bruh she nearly cried because of a flower and then immediately started talking about eating frogs

Zelda is the cutest. I loved when she tried to make Link eat a frog. She's such a science nerd, it's adorable.

"Whether skyward bound, adrift in time, or steeped in the glowing embers of twilight..." Hmmmm

I think my favorite memory is the one where Link saves Zelda from the Yiga. If you read Zelda's diary in the castle, she thought he hated her. She thought his silence meant he couldn't stand being around her. And then, he swoops in at the last possible moment and -quite literally- single-handedly saves the day, proving that he does care. His job is to protect Zelda, and he's gonna do it if it kills him. Also in that scene, not a word is spoken and yet there's so much emotion

Zelda:"This one here is called the Silent Princess." Me:"This one right here is the Silent Link

Wow, this incarnation of Princess Zelda really is complex. I love her character development and how she has to struggle at first with not understanding her own role and identity, not to mention the strength she shows by pushing through even after losing everything... They did a good job with her this time. I'm also surprised by how much I like her voice in English. I wasn't all that impressed when I watched the trailer, but it's grown on me. She's proven that she can portray a variety of different emotions quite well. And can I just say I love how we hear the sound Fi makes in Skyward Sword whenever the sword glows while Link is unconscious? That's just one thing I happened to notice randomly, but I really enjoy the little nods they've added from previous Zelda games.

Theory: When Mipha is trying to give advice to Zelda in order to help her channel her powers and embarrassedly says at 23:17 "I was thinking about what I do when I'm healing. You know what usually goes through my mind" then she is interrupted--- I think she was going to suggest that Zelda channel her powers by thinking of the person she loves most(Link) Then later when Zelda and Link are being attacked by the machines and one points it's laser directly at Link she gets in the way in order to protect Link and her power is released for the first time. Maybe she thought of how she didn't want the person she loves most, Link, to die then that caused her powers to be awakened. Just pointing that out in case you Zelda x Link shippers missed it😆 I might be reading too deep into the lines, but that's just what I got from all the scenes

he gave her the look HE GAVE HER THE LOOK *HE GAVE HER THE LOOK* Edit: guys he gives her the look when he "dies"

Imagine wearing what's basically a toga for 100 years like Zelda.

*sword shines* Zelda: So he can be saved? Fi: No bitch i'm low on battery, recharge me now. Oh and Link's low on vitality.

This is the first game in which is Zelda the one who has to do something to deserve her power instead of Link. Link has the Master Sword from the very beginning, yet Zelda has to go through a lot of challenges to get her holy power. The formula just got reversed for these two in this game, which is a nice change. Now we need a game in which we can see how both Link and Zelda must gain their powers.

you can really see it in Link’s eyes how much he cared for her 🥺

Zelda: Go on! Link: uhh... Zelda: Taste it!! Link: UHH??

Everyone be like: Tell me this and that Link Link: ._.

*"can you hear it yet hero?* yes i'm out of battery

20:08 I feel bad for Link here. He hears Zeldas plea and brakes his formal stance to turn and see whats wrong. He wants to help, but there is nothing he can do at that moment. All he can do is be with her. He feels pretty bad. Poor guy.

“As brave as you are, that does Not mean you are immortal” Me: B-But i got save files..

28:24 I swear if fi pops out of the master sword and tells Zelda that her Wii remote battery is running low I'm gonna lose it

GOD DAMMIT DEKU TREE! You interrupted what may have been a love confession.

Her voice is so British that my cup of coffee turned into tea

Zelda: “tell him i-“ Mipha’s ghost: “dont you dare finish that sentence.”

"There's a fine line between courage and recklessness!" *Looks out over field covered with dozens of corpses, including Lynels* Umm... I don't think that either word describes what just happened, Zelda. I think the term you're looking for is 'pure badassery'.

When you see the link getting his cut taken care of by zelda and see the tons of dead monsters and tons of dead lynels im like "welp whoever played link is pro"

28:06 In feel like he was going to say something but couldn't and fainted.

I don’t know why l’m crying And I wish this game will be a movie someday

I love how when Calamity awakens and Zelda says "It's awake, Gannon." Link freaking smiles! HE SMILES! I imagine in his head he's thinking: "OH THIS SUCKA GOIN' DOWN!"

Zelda: The Master Sword... I heard it speak to me. The Sword, probably: Master, your health is critically low.

I just realized this but when Zelda is giving that speech to link in that first memory, she is referencing other Zelda games! “Whether skyward bound (skyward sword), adrift in time (ocarina of time), or steeped in the glowing embers of twilight (twilight princess)...” I never noticed it before and I think it’s a nice touch.

10:18 For some reason this is the most satisfying scene to me. The way Zelda almost completely gives up on her life. The way Link slices the Yiga’s throat. The way it shows how Zelda reacts to Link saving her life. Her expression tells me everything I need to know.

Skyward bound = Skyward Sword Adrift in time = Ocarina of Time Glowing Embers of Twilight = Twilight Princess. God damn.

Voice Acting was definetly the best fucking idea ever! Zelda's character is so well done.

10:25 Bruh she couldn’t get away from the Yiga Bois cause she ran out of stamina

I love how you can see Link’s brows furrow when Zelda leans cries into him, you can see he feels bad and for a character who’s usually stoic it shows he cares about her :) such a sad scene though

my favourite part is 13:09 honestly Zelda Tries to Shove a Frog Into Link's Mouth (TM)

Anyone else notice how Zelda has her face pressed up against Link's and her arms wrapped around him in the last memory? She really didn't realize how much she loved him until that moment he was about to die.

"The Master Sword... I heard it speak to me. It talked about... batteries, or something..."

Friends: So what type of shows are you into? Me: It's complicated...

I think I like Zelda the scientist. Her character has so much depth compared to the Zeldas of other games.

5:22 And that's how Link got chronic back pain

11:15 ... ok. This... I can't... dude! Link beat all these guys, with only the master sword, ONLY. and he did this with probably not even full hearts and he survived with barely a scratch on him! ... it's not recklessness. It's Pure Badassery

Zelda: Go on! (Shoves frog in Link’s face) Link: what the- Zelda: tAsTe iT! Link: OKAY NOW WHAT THE ACTUAL-

Did anyone notice how in the frog-catching scene, when Zelda gets all sad and upset at the thought of the disappearing 'Silent Princess' flowers, Link actually hesitantly starts to reach out to her before she gasps and notices the frog (to which Link jumps in surprise and pulls his arm away)? Although I'm personally a Link x Mipha shipper, it's the little things like that that make me think the relationship Link and Zelda gradually develop throughout the game is really nice and cute :)

TLDR; Link has a backstory and subtle emotions, Zelda was interesting. Love the story. ----- I wrote this originally in response to a comment saying that Link was emotionless, but my reply got too embarrassingly long. Just want to say, compared to other entries, Link is less comical and expressive (to fit the atmosphere of BOTW), however I wouldn't call him completely emotionless. There's body language and cinematic direction showing Link's emotions and the back story between the lines. Nitpicking on details I loved and pointing out the blocking: 1:32 Link's eyes are not shown as everyone is literally looking down on him. 2:28 Link looks pissed and he backs off a bit from Revali as if intimidated 2:45 Here too when Revali makes fun of the Master sword. 3:35 Eyes wandering distracted as he's trailing Zelda like a dog from behind. Shows their relationship isn't good. 5:23 Obv Daruk's a big bro. 7:46 His derpy walk, like okay tantrum's over. I'm still following you. 9:59 it's comical how their eyes meet. 11:17 First time speaking eye to eye, sitting side by side. 12:09 Interest in the Sheikah slate 12:43 Interest in what Zelda's saying, compared to 3:35 13:52: Interest in Mipha saying he looks grown up now. 15:32 Surprise at Zelda's compliment 15:41 Derpy self-satisfaction in contrast to Zelda's insecurity 16:40 Changed relationship as equals compared to the first cutscene. 16:48 Face down staring at the floor when the king of Hyrule appears. You can't see his eyes for the rest of the cutscene. 19:24 Listening to Zelda intently 20:25 First time riding side by side 23:40 Surprise as he's trying to catch Zelda 24:09 Excited that Ganon woke up, in contrast to Zelda's horror 24:35 Slight nod as yes 26:26 Concern, note in the JP, the emphasis is on everyone dying rather than her personal failure, cuing Zelda's hysteric sobs. 26:33 Surprise 27:12 Pushes Zelda off, also of note in the JP version, rather than "save yourself" here, Zelda says along the lines of "it's enough, I beg you...even if it's only you... run!" 27:27 The Guardian beam remains directed straight at Link's heart. 28:07 Dies while staring into her eyes. Of note, in the JP, Zelda begs twice "don't die..." rather than EN "you're going to be just fine." So in between the lines, there's this story of a somewhat ordinary boy, son of a knight. He's a bit reckless, eager to fight, and a bit stubborn. He gets picked for this great duty, for which everyone puts great pressure on him. "It's a great honor, you know". Take down Ganon at the final moment, look after the Princess until then, and save Hyrule. Revali looks down on him, Mipha adores him, and Daruk believes in him. At first, shadowing Zelda is more of a duty. He follows from behind, is kinda distracted when she's babbling. Eventually Zelda gets sick of him and runs off on her own. (In a nod to past titles) Link chases down her to different locations. Catches up to her (again) at Urbosa's. There he listens about Zelda's past struggles, possibly starts to personally respect Zelda. Saves Zelda from the mobs, earning Zelda's respect. They sit side by side chatting. The rest of the journey is more intimate, i.e. frog incident. Side trip to Mipha shows that Link's close to her, where he's noticably less stiff and more relaxed. During their travels, Zelda compliments his sword skills and acknowledges him, making him proud, but revealing her own insecurities. He's fully taken on his role and the Master Sword. Now he's friends with Zelda, but still just a lowly knight in front of the king. Listens to Zelda's worries and hopes. Tries to catch and support her, literally and metaphorically. Looks outright excited when Ganon wakes up. Dies defending Zelda. I feel that the typical Zelda would have followed that story to it's happy conclusion and appreciated the twist of BOTW following Link and Zelda's utter failure (seriously, if she could have sealed Ganon, EVERYONE and the kingdom would still be alive). In every iteration, Zelda flawlessly inherits her powers, so this complicated more cerebral scientific Zelda was really interesting. She's skeptical of the magical spirit powers, starts out resentful of Link, and struggles against her destiny. Also the narrative structure of Link remembering the past (or optionally going straight to Ganon, due to his "courage") and freeing Zelda was different. In a twist, BOTW is not about Link's journey and how he was supported to defeat Ganon, but more how Link saved everyone by redeeming the past and allowing the spirits to move on (nod to MM?). The ending isn't shown here so I won't spoil it. Amazing game and worth four years. :) The story isn't perfect and has it's flaws, but I enjoyed the slight twist on tradition nevertheless. This comment probably will be buried and not read, still, Ty for uploading! :D

The developers mentioned that BOTW’s Zelda’s personality was crafted by the inspiration of Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess Zelda’s, highlighting her drive to fulfil her duty like TP yet still remaining playful and cheery like SS.

15:48 Zelda:what If u realize that you weren't meant to be a fighter Me:so ur saying that you belong in Super Smash Bros but Link doesn't

I like how every champion has their own unique personality and Zelda actually has character development. Neat to know the new game's actually pushing boundaries and not just copying old storylines.

I love this version of zelda, must more complex and interesting than some of the past ones... I just wish they'd given the game a proper ending to suit how well they built her up.

I like this rendition of Zelda. She's such a relatable character.

Every time I hear Zelda say "What's wrong with me?" it makes me tear up a little because I've felt that way since I was 5

I wish my eyeliner was always as on point as Link's...

And it also must absolutely suck having the apocalypse happen on your birthday... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PRINCESS!!

Zelda: as brave as you are that does not make you immortal Link: Dies 100 times (Me playing lmao) Link: Uhh i think i am

15:10 for some reason, this memory always hits me hard. The idea that maybe your destiny isn't good for you, and that being forced into it when you don't truly want it can hurt you and throw you off into another path.

People are probably gonna think I'm an idiot for saying this but... ...I actually think the voice acting in this game is pretty good. Even for Zelda

The Unsung Heroes, the two Sheik Ninja's who brought Link to the Shrine of Resurrection.

It only just occurred to me....Hyrule, her father and everyone else who she cared about (Except Link) DIED on her 17th Birthday. That is a REALLY low blow Nintendo.

10:49 *_THE MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND, THAT WONDERFUL.. BEAUTIFUL TUNE THAT I HAVEN'T HEARD FOR A LONG TIME?!_*

I don't care what anyone says, but I ship zelda and link.

I seriously think Zelda is in love with Link and her love for him is what activates her powers each time. 1) When Mipha was telling Zelda that when she uses her healing power, before she was interrupted by Ganon, I think Mipha was trying to say that she thinks about someone she loves (Link) 2) when Zeldas message for Link under the Deku tree is obviously "I love you" 3) when zeldas power literally only works when she's around Link or is trying to protect Link

If you read Zelda’s diary, she states how when Link opened up to her and explained why he doesn’t speak as much (he felt he needed to appear strong as everyone in Hyrule was watching his every move and was scared to display any type of emotion). Though he doesn’t speak in the flashbacks, you can see he goes from only showing a straight face to showing his emotions. You can see it mainly in the memory where him and Zelda are running in the woods, where he tries to stay strong but looks upset when Zelda turns to him for comfort. Also, his final battle before being put in the shrine of resurrection, he looked angry and in pain, something that he would NEVER have shown in the beginning of the game. We didn’t hear anything he said, but when he began to actually show emotion, we didn’t need it.
