Top Comments of this video!! :3
I found the Majora's Mask section to be particularly moving - love the parallels you drew between the threats to Termina and needing to distract yourself from the metaphorical "moon" representing current day issues in the real world. Very relatable.
Thanks for all the hard work you put into these, I've been a fan for years!

I like the way you handled this video, discussing all the games, not from a critical perspective, but from directly how you feel. And well, that's what games are, art, and that's what art is, an emotional piece. I was expecting an in depth analysis of ocarina of time specifically but it changed after having watched it all. Maybe your recent videos clued us all in on this but, maybe discussing media as something you feel emotionally attached to is much better than discussing it as something that serves a directly functional purpose.

Can we all just appreciate the masterful transition at 1:23:01? Truly a work of art.

Twilight Princess Hyrule Castle is such a haunting place, and it's not even the tower portion that does that for me
It's just...the dead silent gardens, the only sounds being the rainfall, the strange blue lighting in the graveyard area, like a place you weren't supposed to find. Seeing those dead soldier spirits just simply pointing to where you need to go, it always made me imagine Ganondorf showing up at the castle while you're running around and just cutting all these guys down, I find it so chilling to think about
Getting inside finally and just...more quiet emptiness, only the tiniest sliver of a song playing, like something far away is calling for you, the rain outside even louder when you're close to a window
This really was the area that made the strongest impression on me, I think

Randomisers gave me something I thought I'd never have: the feeling of playing Majora's Mask for the first time. As a kid, I watched my brother play through it 100% at least once before he would ever let me play, so when I eventually did play it on my own I already knew the story and where everything was, at least in broad strokes. I still always considered it my favourite game, but playing it with the items in all the wrong places made it a completely fresh experience that just made me fall in love with the game all over again.

This was an incredibly refreshing change of pace. I enjoyed and respected the things you had to say about Zelda in your previous videos, but this feels so much more... free. Like you've stopped caring about the 'objective' argument and you just wanted to talk about some games that mean a lot to you. And god damn the breakdown of Majora's Mask really hits home.
Your growth shows, KingK. I didn't even realize I had watched the entire video, and it was suddenly over. Phenomenal work.

Donāt let the imposter syndrome get to you. I suffer from it pretty badly myself, I think everyone does a little bit. Your old Zelda reviews still hold up and you made good points, even if you donāt agree with them anymore. Growth doesnāt have to mean you completely discard your past self. You can come to understand where you were coming from back then even if you donāt agree with what you said.
Great video as usual.

There's nothing wrong with taking an objective, critical look at these games, but I am so happy we're in a time where people can talk about why they enjoy them and what they mean to them personally. It's so engaging and even thought provoking. Even games I know aren't "great" I've seen people come out and talk about what they learned and gained from that experience.
I know you've been making a lot of great videos lately, but this one might be my favorite you ever done thus far. Thank you for all your hard work!

If you weren't playing games in 1998 (or maybe even born) it's going to be difficult to understand what a towering punctuation mark Ocarina was in the gaming landscape at that time. The tech has aged, which is bound to add an anchor to the experience of a new player and we now live with visuals we couldn't have even imagined in the 20th Century. As someone who got their first video game system in 1979 and who can remember when arcade machines were mechanical (& I don't mean pinball) and what a surprise Space Invaders was in 78, I really enjoy listening to the well-reasoned discussions of my most joyous game purchases by someone decades younger. I don't always have to agree with every point, but I can agree to think.
I've watched video games in the home arrive, become popular and develop from nothing to this multi-billion $/Ā£ industry and I still get excited at 'the next big thing' and I like to enjoy an intelligent essay on this subject that has been a close-companion for most of life.
Thank you for your videos. I'm no fanboy for any brand (at 55 ) and I've owned systems of all gaming creeds, but I have spent so many hours, days & weeks with Link in my life and just replayed Ocarina (again). It's been damn good and long may it continue, this adventuring on my TV (which gets ever larger as the years shuffle by).

Yo good on you kingK, I used to listen to your retrospectives to get to sleep years ago and always thought it was hella wack u didnāt scream the praises of the 3d Zeldaās but you always had something interesting to say.
Feels like a good chunk of adulthood so far is rediscovering things we loved as a child and accepting them for what they are and realizing they still have a lot of meaning, pretty cool keep it up dawg.
