Another reading of Majora's Mask is that death doesn't really separate us from the dead. We carry them with us, literally in the case of the game. There's a lot of hope in that thought

"Being messed up is not a theme. Darkness is not a narrative. Violence on its own is not mature." Thank you for that.

I saw someone mentioning this on some comments, the twilight hero by design is considered the edgiest version of Link, but ironically when you play the game he turns out to be the friendliest, he has a heartwarming smile that you never see on any other Link, the way he cares about his friends or even complete strangers, he's probably the most hopeful Link I've seen

can't believe i missed this one, such an important cathartic message. " 'being messed up' is not a theme" is an all time good line.

Dark as Majora's Mask is, it's heartwarming to see Link be so helpful towards a bunch of strangers' troubles if he completes the Bombers' Notebook.

Ok but what about the theory that Jacob cut himself shaving and this video is his hallucination as he bleeds out??

I was genuinely about to cry... and then I get hit with "ganondorf is the hottest zelda character" and a razor advert

This is exactly why Twilight Princess is my favourite entry in the series. Not because of its edge lord tone and twisted elements, but - like you said - because those things are used to highlight kindness, friendship, community, warmth... It's absolutely beautiful.

I end a lot of Jacob Geller videos thinking, "This is my favorite Jacob Geller video," but this might really be my favorite Jacob Geller video.

You just turned a bunch of games that I've never played into a metaphor that makes me proud to live the life I've been given and take pride in opening doors for strangers and comforting my toddler when she cries. You are a bard of the modern age. I anticipate the back catalog I have yet to listen to and anticipate everything that is to come. Thank you.

30:53 made me remember this quote from C.S. Lewis: "Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up".

I recently replayed Ocarina of Time and it shocked me how sad that game is. By the end of the game, all of Link's closest friends are gone or don't know why he is the hero. His closet companion abandons him and it feels like he's left hollow the land he saved and unable to find a home in it. He gives up everything, including his title, to stop Ganondorf gaining nothing in return. The greatest gift he gave to Hyrule was to make sure it never knew it was in danger while it steals his soul.

the conclusion to this video almost put me to tears. the real world is such a horrid place to be, but it's filled with so much beauty too. It's worth fighting for.
