After watching the video, I still disagree and think Rayman 3 is actually the best rayman game by far. If Ubisoft had continued on this path, they could have easily competed with mario platformers - too bad they abandonned the idea.

For me, Ganondorf who had the: Best Characterization: Wind Waker Best Nostalgia: Ocarina of Time Best Design: Twilight Princess Best Daddy: Tears of the Kingdom

Fantastic video. But I don’t think you understand the zelda timeline. I was waiting to hear why you disliked the zelda encyclopedia. And then you said it was cause of the timeline. And then you said “Zelda is an anthology series” I think this is where your problem id coming from. You have a misunderstanding of zelda as a whole. Zelda was NEVER intended as an anthology series. For example zelda 2 is a sequel to zelda one. A link to the past was made to be a prequel to those two games. And then ocarina was intended as a prequel to that. Majoras mask and wind waker were both clearly sequels to ocarina. Sure eventually they stopped trying to connect every single thing. But there was a clear timeline even if it’s just some of the first games. Unfortunately I think this a lack of research

I would have loved to see tears of the kingdom ganondorf transform into Ganon

Love this idea man

Love the idea wish it was real😊

11:27 Dude... do you even know how time travel works?

The video was really enjoyable. Moreover, I wanted to state how fantastic the new video format is. Really enjoyed seeing you more often on the screen, and love especially the humour. It made the video really engaging and enjoyable. Your accent amuses me. We’re both UK people, but some pronunciations, like how you say “ocarina” make it seem at times you’re from Botswana. Been subscribed and have watched your videos for years and years, but this is by far my most favourite one - not because of the character design analysis (which is as comprehensive as it always is) but for the new style you’re using and presenting. And yes. Wind Waker HD looks absolutely _atrocious._ They completely removed the charming paper texture out of everything, making it look soulless.

dmc3 and its not even close

My favorite is a link to the past, he looks so retro!

Hi 👋🏻 I used to be a heavy collaborator in the Zelda fan community, I ran a Ganondorf fan comic for a few years that got surprisingly popular, so I have some insights from my particular experience in that space Preface with saying that I love Ganondorf and think he’s an interesting character… BUT… There is a lot of cultural baggage with Ganondorf and the Gerudo as a whole. They aren’t depicted in the most sensitive way, being a hodgepodge of pretty ugly orientalist stereotypes, and while more recent games have attempted to make them distinct from any real-life people groups, there’s still a ways to go (why are they wearing *that* in the desert, etc) There’s some old concept art of OOT Ganondorf shown in the HH that is very uncomfortable to look at in today’s world, very glad they veered away from that one In particular though a lot of folks, myself included, take umbrage with how Ganondorf’s skin ends up greener and greener in every subsequent game, when his original complexion was, yes, olive, but not nearly as drastic. It’s a frustrating trend, especially in totk where he’s ostensibly still a Gerudo in flashbacks, powerful yes, but not distinct enough to make him *green* like some sort of orc I could see his color changing if it were a gradual display of “power corrupts” or that sort of thing, but unless every Gerudo male is just born green, it’s… weird and suspect to a lotta folks But hey,,,, at least he’s not a white man jumpscare like in a one-shot unofficial/official ALTTP comic that’s out there lol

While there are many things in the Hyrule Historia that do not make sense and were clearly just Nintendo pulling stuff out of their arse in an effort to fit everything in there somewhere or another... The connection between OoT, WW, and TP isn't one of them. In fact I'm pretty sure a lot of it was already known and generally accepted before that book even came out.

Mark denying the timelines is so funny. He sounds like a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist lol

Side note, you might want to fix the subtitles. They don't match what you're saying and the timing on them is very wrong

Love your character design videos, man, some of my favorite vids on UA-cam! Character design is one of my favorites things and I love seeing the evolution of characters through the years. Would love to see a video on Donkey Kong sometime. 👀

First person I have EVER heard bring up Nintendo magazine and I love it! The nostalgia! And yes I had that poster up in my room alongside a Mario galaxy 2 one that had skyward sword on the back, also from Nintendo magazine.

When Zelda sent Link back in time at the end of Ocarina of Time. She kept on living as well as everyone else in that future, without Link. Now Link is back to before he even met Zelda and is continuing from there. Two timelines.

This was a pretty good video, but i wish you brought up Dante's appearance in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocture. They used his DMC 2 design for that one, but seeing him in Kazuma Kaneko's artsyle was pretty cool.

Pikachu definitely still has a little bit of chub on him to be fair. It can especially be clear in the anime like when he’s laying down for example.

I have to set nostalgia aside and admit Tears has the best Ganondorf design, normal and demon mode. But I was not fond of his portrayal and the fact that he was a reincarnated Ganondorf. because it feels like there's no history with this particular reincarnation, and I know that's just a matter of preference. With the first teaser reveal, I thought they were setting him up as an ancient evil from an era of Hyrule that was long forgotten due to time, an era we were more familiar with. He would be the one connection to past games. But botw and tears are set so far into the future that Rauru supposedly founded the land of Hyrule again, separate from the kingdom of Hyrule from past games, and this Ganondorf was born in this new Hyrule. He obtained power, he briefly wrecked havoc on Hyrule before Rauru froze him in time and turned him into a mummy. Then when he finally awakens and his body is revitalized, Link kills him 15 minutes later. But I guess this is equally as much of a rant about the botw era rather than just about Ganondorf, because I feel like it was a lazy excuse to ignore everything about previous Zelda games. But again, just a preference.

13:40 The games' names are "Smash fo(u)r 3DS/WiiU"

You forgot Tekken Tag Tournament 2. 👊 Hope we see a Zelda design evolution pretty soon!

‏‪16:16‬‏ that freaking smile get me all the time 😂😂😂😂😂

I like all of them as ganondorf is my favourite villain. I like oot design the best just because in the art work for the game he just looks imposing as fuck. Next i would say twilight princess design as he looks like genuine royalty and still incredibly imposing. Next i would say wind waker as he again looks like legit royalty , like a king on vacation. When he uses the two swords it's even cooler. Last is totk. I still love the design and how giant and scary he is but the no shirt no shoes look makes him look like he isn't a king. Just a guy who is running a gang of thieves or something like that.

Honestly I think those “first, who is this character?“ intros are a waste of time. The average viewer who clicks on videos like this knows who he is. You don’t need to explain the obvious.

I like to think that the Ganondorf of Wind Waker is one that managed to break free of the cycle with the absence of the Hero’s Spirit, at least enough to realize how pointless the whole thing was. He still goes through with it, but he definitely seems to be looking back and asking “…why?”

His OoT design. No contest.

Love the character design analysis. Cool it with the "the timeline doesn't make sense cause I don't understand it" bs though

there really have been some gorgeous designs.. The only thing that bugs me is when people try to draw him freakin emerald green.. like no, he's got a sallow brown skin tone, there's just crazy lighting in a lot of the games. I was particularly happy with what Musou did.

What do you have against the Hyrule Historia? It is the official book that shows us the official timeline of the Zelda series.

I'd like to point that Sonic games generally happened one after the other, Adventure happens after CD, Heroes happens after SA2. The timeline is pretty much 1 game that directly follows the game that came before it.
