One Unused Idea in Every Zelda Game

Bolero was going to be used for the title screen, not for the overworld theme. The title screen music was so quick to compose because it was a variation on the already-composed, iconic main Zelda theme

Imagine being Link in heaven talking with your ancestors. "Yeah, I'm the Hero of Time", "I'm the Hero of Twilight". And then you say, "I'm the Hero of Trains" 😭

So you're saying that one soldier in LTTP didn't end up being... canon?

My theory of Skull Kid having a Link mask is that he wears it to impersonate Link doing all that those terrible things to cast the blame onto him. Much like Bowser Jr. impersonating Mario in his Shadow Mario form in Super Mario Sunshine.

I've always preferred Ganondorf to Ganon, I just like the more sophisticated and intelligent concept better than the raging beast so I'm kind of gutted he wasn't used in the Oracle games.

I feel like a "Zelda's second quest" would've be the perfect edition to make Skyward Sword on switch ACTUALLY worth 60 dollars

Zelda playable in SS would be so much fun, not only because it would be Zelda, but for getting to know her side of things.

i still am just mind blown by the fact that playable zelda was an idea for skyward sword. BLOWS MY MIND.

The fact that I couldn't play as Zelda in Skyward brings me so much sadness

2:46 If you play the ALTTP randomizer with the enemizer setting (random enemies), the cannon soldier can be in your seed

I have a thought or two about TP's missing magic meter. My thought is that, especially if it was removed so late in development, it's very possible the devs simply couldn't balance it well in certain areas. Items like the Gale Boomerang and Dominion Rod are used a lot in various dungeons for puzzles that don't often have a "Use item once, solve puzzle" solution, with many of the boomerang's puzzles being something you have to do multiple times or which may require multiple tries, and with many of the rod's puzzles requiring it to be in use for long periods of time. It's very possible they simply realized how draining on Link's magic all of that would actually be and chose to remove it, especially if magic was also initially used in things like spin attacks or other sword techniques. Of course, this is just a theory, but it would provide a likely reason for its removal. Another possible reason is simply that there weren't as many items using magic. Sure, the boomerang and rod would have used a lot of it in certain areas, and the sword skills if using magic may have drained it, but aside from those possibilities there really aren't a lot of items which could use magic in the game. There are no fire/ice/light arrows like in previous games, no fire/ice rods, no abilities that would reasonably use a ton of magic. The only real other option is the Magic Armor, however adding a magic meter for 2 items and a set of armor doesn't really seem like a great use of the concept. It's possible it could've just been scrapped because there weren't enough items to get use from it. I mean honestly, it's possible both these options are true, and the heavy cost of magic in specific areas and minimal cost in others just made it a very clunky and imbalanced mechanic.

The Demon Train from Spirit Tracks was probably the hardest boss ever for me in a Zelda game. Its literally the most random boss in the series to be the hardest, but it gave me such a hard time and took me so long to beat, lol.

Been binging your videos a lot lately, I lost an incredible friend to the big c very recently. Miss him bad…He loved loz and always talked about it, your content is really comforting. Your videos are amazing, thanks

In botw, with kakariko and lost woods being swapped, it mirrors OoT map almost perfectly. Surprised I never noticed or thought about that before now. Pretty cool. Not just kakariko being at the foot of death mountain but the lost woods being close to its proper place in relation to the castle, death mountain, and even zoras domain.

I love how you say the words "CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED"🤣 to describe the Zelda that was on the CDI absolutely hilarious😅

Considering that botw2 has shown images of floating islands, the idea that various landmass have been swapped even makes sense story wise, some unknown event long ago caused similar floating land masses which somehow relocated at each others spots

Bolero gives a much more traditional “fantasy story” vibe than the swashbuckling, mysterious forward momentum the title arrangement of the over world theme does. I’m not going to pretend nostalgia doesn’t account for a lot of my preference, but that song accounted for a LOT of the tone of the original game, and I wonder if the series would be finally very different with that small change

The adventure of Link battle area is not omitted from the game. You can find it in the graveyard before entering the path to the last castle.

I fear no enemy But thing… * link mask * It scares me

Majora having the Link face was the true birth of Ben Drowned that we never knew
