    Just finished rewatching this series. The main reason why you are one of two of my favorite Zelda-reviewing channels, the other being Matthewmatosis, is because you are the single most passionate fan of this series on not just KZread, but everyone I know of in my life. The love you hold for this series alone brings so much character, entertainment, and rewatchablility to your videos. All this to say, I don't mind the long indefinite hiatuses you take because I take it as you've lost passion for the time being. I wouldn't want to watch a video you weren't able to pour your heart into, so instead of moping about it, I instead only look forward to the day I see your next video in my notification box.

I absolutely love in-depth dives into games like these, and the way you’ve gone in and dissected each game in a way that’s both very person yet still fairly objective is honestly amazing. Great work with these, man. I honestly hope this series picks back up some day. I’d love to hear your analysis of Phantom Hourglass, haha.

    I started watching you like 6 years ago on my dads old account. I was only 11 years old at the time, and my dad loved Zelda and played it when he was a kid. I was so interested at the time, and looked Zelda up on KZread and you were one of the first people I seen with your top 15 Zelda games list. I was shocked there was that many as I only known about the first one cause that’s what my dad told me about. Either way with you I was introduced to my favorite game franchise of all time and I couldn’t be anymore thankful you’ve returned to KZread after almost 5 years. Thank you for what you have done for me, and thank you for being an inspiration to get new fans into the Zelda series. Hope this makes your day

    This video was awesome. It felt like a true documentary with the footage and commentary and comparison to other games. A common theme I’m noticing and experiencing myself is that as a kid this game felt awesome, but on reflection it falls really flat. I was really happy with BoTW and couldn’t put it down because it was so refreshing for the series. As a kid a perfect Zelda formula game was exactly what I wanted, but now that I’m in my 20s I couldn’t imagine going back to that. My brother and I have all sorts of interesting Zelda debates, and something he used to say was that he wasn’t crazy about BoTW because it didn’t feel like a Zelda game, and I argued that that was the exact reason I enjoyed it so much. I think this video helped prove my point a little, so thank you! Love the content man

    I think I agree with your brother. Breath of the Wild is a fine game in it’s own right, but it just doesn’t feel like a Zelda game. At all. Change is fine, but the core of the gameplay should still like a Zelda game. Breath of the Wild feels more like a western open world RPG than it does like a Zelda game. When I play a Zelda game, I want a Zelda experience.

    I've been dying to watch this video, but I wanted to wait until I got to Twilight Princess in my own retrospective. Now that it's finally written and published, I've got to say: this is easily the best retrospective in your series so far. Even if I disagree with a few points you bring up, I think you've done an outstanding job at framing the issues surrounding TP's development and how it impacted the game. And I'm really glad you ripped into TP HD. I would honestly say it looks worse than the GameCube original (which I hold firm is the actual definitive version - just a pity about the difficulty.) TPHD's color palette looks far too muted for me, and I think the lighting effects becomes too naturalistic, almost conflicting with the opposition towards photorealism Satoru Takizawa wanted to avoid in the art direction. The GameCube's color palette balances a nice blend of loud (almost neon-esque) colors with more Earth tones than are typical for the franchise. To defend Wolf Link's role narratively, I would actually argue its weight is more thematic than anything else. Being transformed against his will gives Link a kindred connection to Midna while also uprooting his life and spurring him on his hero's journey. I've also always read Link's ending as being unable to return to Ordon Village, so him turning into a beast at the start of the game naturally plays into that for me. I have to disagree hard on Link's characterization in TP. I do not get apathy from him whatsoever. He's not as emotionally expressive as Toon Link, but he has subtle reactions to the world around him. He gets angry, sad, happy. His emotion is there, it's just more stoic and not as loud as in The Wind Waker. I think it's a bit unfair to say he's back to being a silent avatar. His arc is one about inspiring others' heroism - Midna can't develop without Link. I'd say his arc goes hand in hand with becoming a beast and being unable to come home. It plays second fiddle to Midna's arc, but I don't think that's a bad thing or a disservice to his character. I also think it's important to keep in mind that while Aonuma's direction may have come from a place that lacked heart, he didn't write the story: Aya Kyogoku did. By all accounts, it seems like she genuinely wanted to improve the story and make it better than what it was. She even told Satoru Iwata she wanted one more month to work on the game. That doesn't strike me as someone who was writing a passionless plot. I will say your criticism is dead on for Princess Zelda, though. She simply does not emote and there's little of actual value to her character. I am very glad you agree that Zelda should have stayed dead. We have very different takes on the story and I don't want it to seem like I'm criticizing your work (because this episode is genuinely top notch) so I'll relent from commenting on that front. For what it's worth, though, Zelda's role in the plot is a real outlier for me and my main gripe with the plot. It is strange how TP handles exploration via the Tears of Light, isn't it? You can see where they're feeling out how they'll eventually develop Skyward Sword, but that game manages to balance the whole "structure the overworld as a dungeon" gimmick with far more grace. It's also a crying shame how easy combat is. I knew there was no way you couldn't discuss it, but I'm glad you did. I love the Hidden Skills and how swordplay feels, but fuck, the game is just so easy. I desperately wish Nintendo added in Hero Mode earlier so I could play the GameCube version and get something resembling a challenge. What's worse is that the enemy design is actually fairly clever and the fact humanoids start wearing armor in later dungeons should theoretically lend the game a respectable curve. But it doesn't. This to me will always be my biggest gripe with Twilight Princess. I like this game quite a lot, but Nintendo made a serious mistake with difficulty balancing. (I do think auto-lock and auto-block are legitimately good mechanics, though, they just aren't utilized properly due to the easy gameplay.) The fact you bring up sound design is very warranted and I'm honestly disappointed in myself for not paying more attention to it! You're spot on , Twilight Princess' sound effects are incredible. On another note, your retrospective is great for just highlighting the smaller, finer details that others tend to miss. I also have to say that your dungeon analysis is fantastic. You always point out things I either miss or just don't appreciate enough. Like, I've always loved the fact Twilight Princess puts Heart Pieces in its dungeons, but you articulated that they're often the best puzzles in their respective dungeons. I've been waiting for this kind of analysis since Mark Brown's Boss Keys video on TP haha. I discuss this in my retrospective, but part of what I really like about Arbiter's Grounds is how it forces you to actually use Wolf Link (and meaningfully, at that.) I also think the lighting & atmosphere are phenomenal, and Stallord's one of the few bosses you can't just brute force. Also, your point about being able to visualize Link's growth through Ocarina of Time through his gear is just genius. And while I like Ilia's role in the plot, you bring up a fantastic point: they should have just pulled the trigger and gone full romance. But the plot wants to have it both ways where Midna and Ilia can both be seen as love interests as Link. It's a shame, they really could (and should) have done more here. Thank you for bringing up how bad the enemy music is by the way. I'd say it's the worst combat track in the franchise. I gotta say, I'm really surprised you'd call Hyrule Castle shitty. I don't think the narrative stuff works super well, but it's always been a favorite finale dungeon of mine. The Dark Nut rooms are reasonably difficulty, I love how you can get an extra key to access the hidden treasury, and the path up the castle does a good job at making use most of your tool kit. Though I do see your point about puzzles being reused. At the end of the day, I can't agree that I don't care about the main quest or plot. Twilight Princess' story works for me more often than not, but what I love about your retrospective is how it makes me consider new perspectives rooted in a genuine passion for The Legend of Zelda. I can't think of another KZread channels that offers such rich analysis on the series. Sorry this is so long haha your retrospectives are so in-depth and they always get me thinking. Super excited for your Phantom Hourglass video! I would sincerely love to hear your thoughts on my retrospective, as well: goombastomp.com/zelda-twilight-princess-gamecube-retrospective/ Happy Hyliadays!

    Your content is my favorite on KZread. I’ve replayed your old top 16 list just to listen to in the car or whatever probably a dozen times, and this current series is so much deeper and well thought out! Don’t lose motivation, you can do it and the product will last beyond just the month or whatever of main traffic. On the topic of love in Zelda, I consider Marin a strong candidate. The tragedy of her tale adds a romantic element, and I always like to think she found Link later following the 0 deaths scene.

    Twilight Princess was my first ever Zelda game, so I love it dearly for introducing me to one of my favourite video game series. However, I can still see the flaws and this video pretty much described them perfectly. You put so much work into your videos, they are an absolute joy to watch. Really looking forward to your thoughts on Phantom Hourglass (personally my least favourite game in the series). "After leaving My Chemical Princess", that joke just about had me in stiches of laughter. 38:25 was another that made me chuckle. 1:14:17 at this point had me crying of laughter.

    Ill always have TP as a special place in my heart given that it was my first 3D zelda game. But once I played more and more of the series and with that retrospective you made years ago it really shifted my perspective on the game. Youre kicking ass during this series and we can all tell your working hard on it. My only request is maybe you can make a discord so we can talk to you more and recieve more updates.

    Great video! Was worth the wait! I too have always had mixed feelings about TP, and I am less fond of it compared to other 3D Zeldas. From a recent new playthrough of the HD version tho I have to agree with one of your points: collecting all the heart containers really increased my enjoyment of the game, specially during the already great dungeons and overworld. The stamps from this version annoyed me tho. Can't wait for your input on the newest games! Keep up the great work, man!

    Twilight Princess is a game that tries a dozen different things but doesn't commit to any of them. It's like a restaurant where you can only have taste tests. What's the point? Examples: - Goat Herding - Lantern - Gale Boomerang - Most items for that matter - Wrestling - Exploration (It's a corridor simulator, and it's disconnected as you mentioned.) - Characters (The kids only show up for the beginning and then disappear the rest of the game.) - The resistance (They don't do anything, but we're supposed to think they're cool?) - The occupation of Hyrule - Shopping (There isn't a lot to buy, and there are a ton of shops alluded to that don't offer anything interesting (Ex. Apple shop, Hyrule castle goron shop, the inn at Kakariko)) - Fishing (Little incentive and not enough types of fish) - Canoeing (Why can't we canoe in Ordon or Lake Hylia! Missed opportunity for expanding exploration and fishing.) - Bomblings - WOLF LINK - The Bulblin Faction (Who are they, and where do they come from?) - Caves (Poor Rewards) - Outfits (Not a lot, and they're boring) - The Lost Woods (Little to explore and it doesn't lead to any different areas like in Ocarina of Time) - The World of Twilight (Really small and no overworld section) - Despite all of this, Twilight Princess is my most played Zelda game, and I love it. Bah, I suppose that's nostalgia talking. I want to make a video about it on my channel someday, but we'll just have to wait and see. (Fantastic job with the video! I don't usually watch 1 hour long videos, but this was well worth it.)

    Man the hype is real, absolutely adore your heart felt content on my tied for first favorite game series of all time, as hard as it may be you can get through Phantom Hourglass you’ll be able to do it😂 and following that all of the games are pretty solid in my opinion minus Tri-Force Heroes, but you didn’t include the Four Swords games so I’m assuming you shouldn’t have to worry about it. I’m very excited to hear your thoughts on Skyward Sword because I find it criminally underrated in the fandom, keep up the great work, I’m keeping my notifications on for the channel. Edit: I meant to ask, do you have plans to re-rank the Zelda games or do any top 10s or anything following the retrospective, very curious to hear some of your opinions on dungeons, bosses, music, characters, etc.
