Who/what is your FAVORITE boss from a 3D Zelda game? Also, what other franchises would you like explored on the channel?

An interesting note is that the Stone Talus are the only monster to get attacked by the corrupted Guardians which implies that they [the Talus] are not a part of Ganons forces.

That theory that Majora was a metaphor for overcoming childhood trauma makes so much sense when you compare it to Link, who by this game was a traumatized child soldier!

The video game Volvagia is a lot less sad than the Manga version (yes, there’s an Ocarina of Time manga, it’s pretty good). In the manga, Volvagia used to be Link’s pet lizard that he got in Hyrule Castle Market. He bought it and freed it, and it followed him and even eventually learned to say his name as thanks. Because of his journey, he had to part ways with it, though, and Ganondorf turns it into a huge monster. When Link slays it, it whispers his name again, thanking him for freeing him from Ganondorf’s curse 😭

I think Arbiter's Ground is supposed to be set up as a Panopticon, not a coliseum. It was a theoretical design for a "perfect' prison because the wardens would stand in the middle, and be able to observe all the cells arranged in the surrounding structure, all at once.

A two hours long video that can be treated like a movie focusing exclusively on Zelda bosses? Uh yes please and lemme grab popcorn too.

Always pictured Dark Link in OOT as a literal reflection. A thing of note is when you enter the room Link's reflection is seen in the water, but once he cross the island with the tree his reflection vanishes. It's as if his reflection came alive and gained sentience, or perhaps his reflection when he walked in was never his to begin with. In either case I agree that the room is a trial for the one entering it. Whoever enters reflection will spring to life and as Navi says they must "conquer their self". It's one of my favorite mini-bosses of OOT.

1:20:30 ... Ganondorf seems to forget that he could simply wish for the desert to turn into a nicer place where people could live, instead of using it to take control of Hyrule

[MumboJ]

Just had a thought regarding the Wizzrobes inconsistent appearance.
What if they are simply empowered/corrupted wizards?
They can be from any race, so the Rito looking versions were probably Rito before they became Wizzrobes.

[gabriellockwood]

What if the "LD" robots weren't originally Lanayru Desert, but Lanayru "District", or "Distribution"?

Since when the robots were built they were in every province of the surface while building the gates of time and mining the Time Shift Stones...

[Emogeta]

One thing your forgot about dodongos Cavern. Look at the ceiling. The literal cave itself was either the body of a dodongo or the body of a giant Goron. Which goes into the theory that Dodongos were once the predators to Gorons. That they grew massive in size to hunt Biggorons and Medigorons.

[JumpierNewt]

I always thought the idea of a Ganandorf learning his endless cycle of defeat would make an interesting story. Imagine a zelda game were it has a younger Ganandorf that tries to break the cycle that Link, Zelda and himself are stuck in, the cycle of reincarnation to reenact the fight of good and evil for all eternity. I don't know how the reat of the story would play out but I thought it would still be interesting.

Edit: Just realized that's the plot of Wind Waker, I have the stupid

[AdolisYT]

I wanna make a quick note about Volvagia that I never see. In the non-canon OoT Manga, Child Link finds a baby Volvagia at the market, and purchases him. Volvagia only truly cares about himself, until Link saves him from a Stalchild. To which Volvagia begins to say Links name over and over. In the manga, Link battles Volvagia and gets knocked out, the reason being he knew Volvagia and hesitated to fire an arrow at him. Link is saved by Shiek, who convinces him that Volvagias been corrupted by Ganondorf and the only way to free him, is to kill him. So Link does just that. He faces Volvagia again, this time cutting it’s head off. As Volvagia is dying he begins to cry and say Links name over and over.



Now i’m not saying that manga Volvagias backstory would’ve been better, but it hit extremely hard in the manga. Sure, it didn’t make a whole lot of sense, and doesn’t allign with the actual canon at all- but it’s just something I thought was pretty crazy. I really enjoy the LoZ manga as it takes some creative freedom in a lot of story points throughout all the iterations.

[NormDeMoss]

I'm sure this has been observed plenty of times before, but it's so lovely how you point out that Yeta doesn't actually get directly attacked for the vast majority of the Blizzeta fight. I also love that, while Darbus gets back to normal without much beyond wounded pride (big pure-hearted lunkhead got his shit rocked by dimensional evil at first, it happens), Yeta doesn't even get /that/ bad - and Yeto isn't made to suffer either, beyond his desperate and endearing worry for his INTENSELY beloved wife/darling/sweetest cutest best ever life partner. The evil magic gets its bidness totally wrecked, and the cuddliest characters in Twilight Princess IMMEDIATELY get back to hugging/cuddling/cooking amazing soup/doing baller sledding moves.

I've heard several people say TP's Link is the most happy and uplifting Hero of [Noun] we've had (farm boy saves his hometown, inspires kindness and valor especially in kids, pets animals, reconciles with even his foes, fights for healing with kindness for everyone he meets, and has a pro wrestling arc), but it just floors me how TP seems to have a stronger showing of overall joy and indefatigable love than most other Zelda titles. The common folk in all of LoZ are overall worth saving, obviously, but I adore how many folks in Twilight Princess deserve saving AND a hug. And the writers did that in a game with ancient execution sites, interdimensional parasite monsters, a snapped neck, WIDESPREAD impalents, and even plot-significant fantasy racism.

This whole vid was great, all the lore and theories are great, and LoZ's constant emphasis on saving others because it's right all the time (even for unpleasant people) is great, but TP just feels special.

[zzephyrenex]

the LD could also mean "Lanayru Droid" or "Lanayru Drone"

[jare]

I feel the real reason they did not let Zant rule is that he is just creepy in general.

Also, his evil plan was to turn his enemy into an Imp that the game fan base loves a lot so can add super evil to the list. like what psycho would do that to someone.

[bradencosier]

This whole time I thought Skull Kids just hated adults, but now I'm wondering if the Skull Kids attack adult Link not because he's an adult, but because they've been forced to defend themselves against Ganondorf's minions and mistook Link for one?

[HyruleGamer]

Ay thanks for the little mention in the beginning! 💜

[emiliomartinez]

I like how dark link just dodges the master sword and then lands on the blade like he taunting or toying with link 🤣

[emeraldnickel]

The Demise part of the Calamity Ganon theory aged somewhat similar to milk, but honestly the theory as a whole was mostly on the money. The Calamity was the leaking remnants of Ganondorf's power, which admittedly could still be Demise's power, inherited and amplified through Ganondorf's secret stone. I honestly think it would be really cool if Nintendo ended up referencing Demise in a future game to explain Demon King Ganondorf's immense power with the secret stone.
