    I said it when this was first uploaded, and I'll say it again. Link's Awakening, The Oracle Games, Four Swords and Four Swords Adventure, The Minish Cap, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, A Link Between Worlds, and Triforce Heroes are NOT spin offs. They're main series games, as proven by the timeline.

      That they are canon doesn't mean they are not spin offs and many of them seem to go back to ckassic gameplay and graphics... they are great games but they are very possibly spin offs though i am not an expert so i could be wrong is difficult to differenciate spin offs and main stream games sometimes.👍👍👍👍

    • @TheCoolB2000
      @TheCoolB2000 Před 5 lety +3

      Sam I don’t know all the proper terms and nuances but I think they are still spinoffs, even though they are included in the canon story. The only one true Ku outside is hyrule wariors

    • @ChuckRoast14
      @ChuckRoast14 Před 5 lety +17

      No. Hyrule Warriors, Link's Crossbow Training, and the Tingle games are spinoffs. Link's Awakening, The Oracles, Four Swords/Adventures, Minish Cap, The DS Zeldas, and ALBW are all mainline Zeldas.

    This was trippy because I watched this on my console and didn't realize it was a reupload at first. PBG said it was the end of the month and talked about doing a lot of Zelda stuff which was weird since I knew he was skipping it this year. Then they talked about BOTW as though they had no idea what it was really about. That's really when I realized it was a reupload. Tripped me tf out at first tho

    5:17 I actually think that this kind of ideal practice for sequels or even threequels is actually pretty fair and nice! Sometimes if you feel like you can’t exactly One-Up a successful sequel or second installment it’s okay to announce that you’re going in a much more experimental and vibrant direction in which you want to go. Sometimes sequels don’t have to be constantly bigger and better.

  • @Focie
    @Focie Před 6 lety +3

    Oh right! This does indeed seem familiar, but I see it's a re-upload. Question; why do you call the handhelds spin-offs? If they follow the same story directly and is canon... and follow the same gameplay for the most part... Is it really a spin-off? Triforce Heroes is a spin-off, I think, but not Minish Cap or the DS games

I would not put it down, i took my DS wherever i went to play it. I think it was exploration and side quests Formula that pulled me in. And to this day, i still keep re-running the game 100%! II truly think that Phantom Gourglass is the best Zelda game ever made.

    I have a random memory from when I was little involving A Link to the Past. I walked into the basement in my house, to find my dad playing what I know recognize as the legend of Zelda. He was escorting a girl through the dungeon, when she suddenly turned into a hideous monster. Since I was like, five, I was completely horrified, and ran out of the room. I might have even gotten a few nightmares from the “horrific” scene

    Weren't Mario and Zelda developed more or less simultaneously, with the split in linear/open decisions guiding which features would go in which game?
    I'm pretty sure I've seen that several times.

    Minish cap was underrated- it was my first Zelda game (which might make my opinion a bit biased), and cap come did a great job with it. Any Zelda fans who haven't played it, I highly recommend it.

    What about the 2 Zelda CDi games (Link the Faces of Evil and Zelda the Wand of Gamalon) for the Phillips CDi?
