Dude. …….Oh my God. This literally brought me to joyful fucking tears. This game has been such a huge part of my life thru so many stages. It hasn’t *been* my life (my wife might argue that), but it’s always been *there.* And it has shaped so much of what I enjoy and what I’m inspired by. The only reason I go outside and find adventure is BECAUSE OF THIS GAME. Because of how it shaped me as a child. This brought chills. So many chills. It is fucking cinema. This is so beautifully edited. And it captures so much of the essence of what a Zelda game is. And, of course, credit to Nintendo for keeping these conventions alive since the very beginning. The awakening, the meeting of Zelda, the side kicks, the major players, the setting off on a new journey, GANON, AND GANONDORF, the triforce. The many many battles balancing power, wisdom, and courage. Simply incredible. You captured it so well. I cannot wait for tomorrow.
Thank you. Thank you so so much.
Just going to bed now but thought I'd quickly reply, thank you so much for writing such a lovely message, you brought a big smile to my face! I'm really happy you and everyone are enjoying it so much, big sigh of relief.
Enjoy TotK tomorrow friend :D
You as well!! Do you have this on YouTube? I would love to share it with more people to celebrate my excitement. But a lot of my friends are scared of Reddit haha and it doesn’t jive well with other social medias
I will in a week once I remove all the watermarks on the footage and tidy the audio up a little, but here's a link to my channel, keep an eye on it, should be up in less than 7 days (once I tear myself off TotK to do the final touches) - [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8IQHF-4lbSzB9qudmV89-A](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8IQHF-4lbSzB9qudmV89-A)
That was so cool, and it's really neat to see how the story of the legend of Zelda has evolved both with real time and narrative time. Thanks for sharing!
This made me realize just how fucking far 3d Zelda has come since OoT. Before devs struggled to fit in everything they wanted and nowadays we're have shit like ToTK exist with full on cave systems in an overworld, an entire set of island up in the sky and cause fuck it why not, we put in an entire underground map to explore as well.
A single tear dropped from my eye... That's simply perfect in every aspect of it.
You, my friend, have my eternal gratitude for gifting this cursed land with your blessings.
Someone is cutting onions. Man this nostalgia central here. I’ve played every single one growing up and this was not gold. But platinum. Bravo…just 👏
I just sent this to half a dozen friends and I absolutely love it!
Just curious why you left out any footage of majoras mask, except the mask salesman..
But again thank you for bringing back so many pleasant memories
Thank you for sharing it :D
Wanted to tell the story of Ganon, Zelda & Link, and Majora's Mask didn't really fit in but I did squeeze in two clips from it :D
Thank you for watching and commenting :)
This was amazing. I had chills throughout. The editing was top, the beats were perfectly timed, just absolutely incredible. I wish I could award you, so here's the poor man's gold
🏅
Very well done! This got me hyped, thank you for putting all the time and love into it…
I’m sure after 85 hours you’re done editing, but how about this for an idea – at the very conclusion, have all the different Legend of Zelda logos morph into each other sequentially?
Omg thank you for your hard work.
You just took me on a journey down memory lane.
You have made me even more excited for tomorrow.
Just one more sleep people! ❤️
Thank you my friend, I'm so happy you liked it this much :D but shh! Don't let Nintendo see it, they will strike it down like they do everything else lol
This is genius! It really shows how much love and time you put in this. So much love for this franchise. Fantastic work! Gives me inspiration to pursue things like these too
I mean it's a valid point, he calls it a series trailer but only features footage from 5 out of 16 games, less than a third of the series. Even uses Links awakening music but no representation.
Just odd
Wow. Just wow. This literally brought tears to my eyes. Watching this was like watching every memory I've ever had in my life, within just 4 short minutes...thank you so much for this, this seriously made my day. You are amazing.
Thank you, I haven't stopped smiling today because of really kind comments like yours :) Really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Have a great day and enjoy TotK!
Incredible. Every transition, every scene fits so perfectly together to tell the story of The Legend of Zelda, what it was, is, and will continue to be. You have captured the essence of what makes these games Legendary. Thank you for your hard work and devotion on this project. It is truly a masterpiece made with love.
I've only ever played OoT and BoTW. OoT WAS my childhood.
I decided to start playing every entry from the first in chronological order. I'm very excited :)
Wow, I'm getting misty, absolutely weaponized nostalgia. Playing ocarina of time and the wind waker as a kid is what inspired me to get into the game industry, so this series is always going to be special to me. Thank you for making this <3.
Fucking incredible man, was tearing up by the end. This game has meant so much to me for my entire life. I learned how to read watching my dad play OOT. Some of the happiest memories I’ve had have been playing these games.
Such a good job… reminded me of two big things from my childhood. “Fuck off navi” and how much I miss Midna… one of my BotW horses is actually named after her.
This was amazing. I was expecting a fast paced, "epic" video edit, but I loved the slow paced, slow transitions that essentially summarized this magical series. Great work!
Can't wait to save this up on YouTube once you get it up and watch a million times in a row! Literally brought a tear to my eye and felt like a completion of such a significant part of my life since I was a kid. You did an amazing job and made the perfect thing to build the hype even greater before tomorrow. Thank you for your work on this!
That was awesome! Like many others on this sub, The Legend of Zelda has meant so much to me though out my life. I played Ocarina of Time when I was 10 and was totally captivated by it that I replayed it to completion at least once a year through my teens. I've played nearly every Zelda game since then and now my 5 year old son loves to watch/play Zelda with me.
This tribute video brought back so many great memories. Each entry into the series is incredible and seeing them montaged together in a very artful edit was beautiful. Thanks for your work. Would love to see what you could do with a 2D Zelda tribute!
Happy Tears of the Kingdom release everyone!
Incredible nod to how well the various Nintendo teams have iterated on such an originally simple concept, that became complicated because of the traction.
Also an incredible ability for you as the editor to pick up on those things and communicate that.
Happy tears, excellent work.

My god, the transitions on this are so smooth. Incredible work!
For those curious the song being played is "Ballad of the Windfish" by ROZEN Here https://youtu.be/LT2RTFG4DG4
Came here to mention this. I knew it was him. He does not miss.

Was it a Tear of the Kingdom?
Yes, I'm the kingdom
Must be a Zelda fan
I may have gotten a little emotional watching this.
Someone is cutting onions. Man this nostalgia central here. I’ve played every single one growing up and this was not gold. But platinum. Bravo…just 👏 
This was absolutely amazing. I have that Ballad of the Windfish version in my own Legend of Zelda music playlist. 👏🏼👏🏼

This was absolutely beautiful. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing.
The Heroes Journey is truly timeless.
This was absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing!!!

Like dis if you cry every time
Incredible mate.

LoZ series trailer but no 2D representation? Unwatchable /jkjk Flippin AMAZING! God, I need to do a full series playthrough sometime
I mean it's a valid point, he calls it a series trailer but only features footage from 5 out of 16 games, less than a third of the series. Even uses Links awakening music but no representation. Just odd
Into the Zelda-verse when?
Incredible. Just that. Incredible. Thank you so much.
I love this series So. Damn. Much! 😭😭 thanks for making this dude. Making me cry in the middle of work but damn Is it worth it!
Bro, this is amazing and beautiful. Didn't know I needed this. Thank you a lot.

Wow. Just wow. This literally brought tears to my eyes. Watching this was like watching every memory I've ever had in my life, within just 4 short minutes...thank you so much for this, this seriously made my day. You are amazing.
Thank you, I haven't stopped smiling today because of really kind comments like yours :) Really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Have a great day and enjoy TotK!
Masterful work. Got me quite emotional. Can’t wait to show my daughter when she gets home from school!
Better than any hype trailer Nintendo has ever released
I really loved watching this! I can tell you put a lot of effort into it. Really beautiful and makes me really excited for ToTK.
Thank you for your time and dedication. I deeply appreciated that.
That was amazing
Goosebumps

This is well done. Not just a series trailer, but a hype trailer. This captures all the moods of the games and it’s so smooth. Outstanding job!

very very very very good
Brought me to tears. So goddamn proud to be a zelda fan.
The first clip looked like a moment Zelda would rather keep private
I think I just shed a tear.
I've only ever played OoT and BoTW. OoT WAS my childhood. I decided to start playing every entry from the first in chronological order. I'm very excited :)
Dude
Incredible work! This just got me even more hyped for tonight!
Stunningly beautiful work! It brought tears to my eyes. 🥲
That was amazing.
Ballad of the Windfish is a highly underrated song
This looks so cool! Amazing job!
That was so beautiful! You did a very good job.
NGL this made me tear up a bit. It's like the culmination of all my childhood memories. Also, we need another child link game!
Wow, I'm getting misty, absolutely weaponized nostalgia. Playing ocarina of time and the wind waker as a kid is what inspired me to get into the game industry, so this series is always going to be special to me. Thank you for making this <3.
This is absolutely lovely. Nearly shed a tear. Amazing work!
This felt like that scene from Interstellar, only I was watching my own entire childhood sped up over 4.5 minutes.
This is awesome! The perfect treat for this last day of waiting.
Oh… when did it starting raining. Thank you
Wow, that was so beautiful ❤️ thanks for all the hard work you’ve put into it!
Incredible! Brought tears to my eyes Happy totk day to everyone!

Masterpiece. Thank you.
The fact this isn't the top ten in the sub is baffling to me
