Absolutely love how Link's most recent text post was "does anyone know where to buy vases"
Yoo how did you even notice that?!
Every fan knows when he has the urge
Where? I can't find that XD
@@heatherrose8330 minute 1:49
it’s a primal instinct of the link, they evolved to be predators of the vases, in the modern world this primal instinct isn’t very strong but it’s still there and will still be an instinct for thousands of generations of links to come, they truly are a beautiful creature
I like how the first thing Sidon does when Link gets hit by the ball is make a selfie and post it.
It's nothing if not in character.
@@chaosinc.382 nah he'd defo just help link
@@milk-el8vq nah Link confirmed he was okay almost immediately, the selfie was obviously just poking fun at how clumsy he is. Didn't you read the caption he put XD "the hero has fallen!!Hahaha"
@@nerdycurls6253 yeah which is something out of character he would never mock link even in a joking matter after he got injured
Lmao right
People don’t realize how long it takes to make a 2 minute good animation clip. And especially for 1 person, it could takes several months. Clap it up for sharlene for showing us outstanding work 👏
I already knew about the effort put into anything animated as an Animation enthsuiast myself. There is a reason big studios exist to make the animation process faster so there are so many animators working on different shots. But for one person this is very impressive Indeed 👍👍👍
Fr like I try to make something like this it’d take me years
Also 👏👏👏
👏👏👏
so true its amazing !
He protected Zelda from harm, but could not prevent himself from getting whacked in the face...
Very fitting of Link.
Ironic... he could save others from ball...but not himself.
@@sauerkraut6571 a man of culture I see
Isn't that what mostly happens in games? He saves her while putting himself in danger by defeating ganon's horde
No matter his heroic deeds, his spot in hell will forever be placed as his war crimes against the koroks were beyond treason
That’s the classic link in botw and Totk. Tries to protect Zelda, and loses his arm in the process.
zelda's profile:"Courage needs not to be remembered, for it is never forgotten."*epic, heroic noises*
link's profile:hyah
Ha just saw that
hyah is also an epic heroic noise
And in the little stories beneath, Zelda's was about studying, while Link said something about buying vases...
1000snt like, you're welcome :)
Seems about right.
Love how Zelda actually talks and Link just makes ‘hrrg hnn hyah’ noises
What if link said "sussy bazinga" that would be funny i think
@@thenumber102k yeah that would be an epic gamer moment

"THE HERO HAS FALLEN" was the funniest yet cutest thing i've seen for quite a bit
Seriously, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom actually makes care a lot for Link and Zelda. These two are my favorite of all their incarnations.
My favorite incarnations of zelda are the links awakening and majoras mask ones :)
@Froggycolouring Hey I know this is random but I got botw like a week ago and I'm pretty new to the series so I have a question, does every entry in the series have its own story and history behind it? The more I hear of the franchise the more confused I get 😅
@@randomguy2484 yeah :D
Usually they also are connected to other games in the series since you can see the effects of things that happen in the previous games
Also the games tend to explain the story a lot, I would give an example but I don’t want to spoil any of the games for anyone
The other games are definitely worth playing too(though they’re pretty different from botw) and some of them have good stories
@Froggycolouring I kinda wanna get links awakening on the switch after finishing breath of the wild and then get tears of the kingdom after taking a break from the open world, do you know if links awakening is a whole separate thing and not connected?
Oh boy, do you know about Hyrule Historia? Basically, the Zelda story has different timelines
Link literally canonically has super-human reaction speed and reflexes, so he must've been REALLLY distracted to get hit by that ball
I am the 69th person to like this comment.
I hope that link really has like time abilities like he can stop time, because it would make sense and be super cool too
@@circadeus1200 would be cool if he used Stasis!!
@@nagywywy no like he can slow down time like when he dodges something in botw, it's actually him slowing time
@@slasherhacker2116 I have the entire boys map unlocked. I have looked in in every corner of the map, but I still can't find who tf asked.
the fact that his bio is just "hyah" fills me with so much joy
Hyah, do you really need more to describle link?
One word and you already know who it is
his postat the bottom of the screen ends with vase, we all know what he does with vases
We need a kickstarter to turn this in a 12 seasons anime, love it
Nintendo would have to be on with it though
@@Audio_Format_ we'll force them to
We don’t need cease-and-desist’s where we’re going
Yessss
It's been a while but no one pointed out how the way these two meet in this vid is akin to how they met in the actual game
Link was able to save Zelda from a stray guardian shot by parrying the beam, and here he saved her from the stray ball
I love how this AU shows Zelda's nerdy side. It was clear throughout the story of botw that she's really smart, and at the front of ancient tech research. It's awesome to see that reflected here.
Not just a science nerd, but also something of an archaeologist and historian as well, since most of the tech she was dealing with had to be unearthed.
Zelda: You know I'm something of a scientist myself
Yes
@@Stolanis Honestly, it's part of why she's my favorite of every Zelda incarnation by far. Just the simple additions of some actual inner conflict and a personality trait outside of "princess," really endeared me to the character. Her being a kind of scholar is a really fresh interpretation of her wielding the Triforce of Wisdom. She isn't a typical princess, but not in the cliche Disney, "I'm bored of my pampered lifestyle," way, just in that she has a much wider range of interests that humanize her.
@Logan Roof if you are not a bot , be quiet
Zelda's bio: "Courage need not be remembered, for it is never forgotten."
Meanwhile Link: "HYAAAAHHHHH"
@dbz fan actually he doesn’t say anything because he doesn’t know how to really project his feelings. He shy boi
@@Snailsnsialsnial._1 no, its because nintendo made most main characters mute as for giving a better gameplay (same to mario til rpg)
@@AEternamTenebris the thing I said was mentioned in game lmao
hyah*
Specially nice with his last post/message: "*something something* where to buy vases"
That look Zelda has when seeing Link's profile is too good. Like she can't comprehend what she is looking at.
" *hyah* "
I normally don't like modern Au's, but coming to this one its so cute and refereshing. The transition to what they would be like isn't jarring and show cases slice of life without it being pandering. I like this!
Yeah, I never do ANYTHING like modern AUS, but I really liked this
Zelda:“ Courage needed not to be remembered for it is never forgotten ”
Link:” *hyah* ”
In essence, they say the same thing
poetic
[pizza link]
He has such a way with words
Haha. Your pfp badddd
1:48 I can’t believe Link’s bio is just “hyah.” That is pristine.
THERES SOMETHING ABOUT BUYING VASES IN HIS TOP POST 🤣🤣🤣
My is "tacos yay" so thats pretty normal to me
Even seeing the word hyah gives me ptsd from fighting links online in smash.
@@Bayleaf6399 if you look real close on the next scene where Zelda puts the phone face down, it says "does anyone know where to buy vases"
That's pretty much 90% of Link's line through whole serise XD
Link even has his lore-accurate reflexes
Propably entered a flurry rush for this one.
Link and Sidon being best bros is also canonical. Pretty cool idea!
Even if Link has the triforce of courage, he can't talk to girls easily.
I identify with him.
LMAO
Cant really talk in general tbh
@@xedocat lmao
@Something sometime bots lol
It's all about having the courage to face your fears.
Sidon being the true friend and taking a selfie with poor Link on the ground gives me life
"The hero has fallen"
Revali: *HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…*
At this point, I've watched this an unhealthy amount of times, it's literally my comfort animation
I’m so disappointed . . .
THAT I ONLY JUST FOUND THIS NOW!!!!
This was so cute!!! Great job!!! I can’t with the little hyahs and grunts that Link makes with the new context behind what they mean it’s so accurate.
Love how Revali commented "HAHAHAHAHAHA" on the post of Link after getting hit by Sidon and Teba's soccer ball
it's the little things that make the biggest impact
@@alexfanfan9511 In this case it was the ball
football*
revali should be LINK and LINK should be the BALL
@@gerardo6525 in Canada we call it soccer, football is what we call American football so soccer is correct too
The social anxiety in this felt very real 👍 the constant fear: “Don’t read too much into it, Don’t read too much into it, Don’t read too much into it!”
Ooho yeah. Anxiety sucks sometimes😅
*Proceeds to read even further than before*
? I don't know, I thought that was pretty normal. Is being nervous around someone you like really social anxiety?
@@polgora It's more the violent overreaction to something that you've said/they said. Thinking about all the different possibilities, assuming the most likely possibility is the most negative one and then just spiraling into a downward arc of panic.
@@polgora no, it's just commonly used interchangeably with nervousness / shyness (which I 10000000% relate to, but I dont really have social anxiety lol)
I was so sad when it ended 😭 I could watch hours of this, wish it was a show. Perfect animation.
Protects Zelda's face
Breaks his own face five minutes later
Yup, that's our Link
i love how link's bio is just hyah, also his profile picture holding a pizza reminded me of the time when link just straight up ate a rock without hesitation in age of calamity
And how theres a post with something something "buy vases". Knowing Link he probably smashed one and now needs to get a replacement lol
yeah, links one of the bois. all the soldiers just follow him wherever, and more importantly will gladly go into a near impossible charge as long as link is yelling
@Logan Roof bruv

Hello verified person! I completely agree with everything you say because you are verified.

I think that’s Teba, not Revali.
@@JacobLink350 oop my bad

Strong and silent Link in normal clothes in a high school being super wholesome with Zelda, Sidon, and the others really gave me my serotonin for the day, thank you ☺️
Ye, so much serotonin
1:56 me every five seconds checking if the girl I like texted me back
I love the Korok on Zelda’s phone, amazing attention to detail and beautiful animation. ❤❤❤
The sense of detail in this is just gorgeous. There's such tactility in how you draw characters holding things. Zelda holding her water bottle, the was she clicks her pen, that little grip on the back of her phone and how she holds it. Meanwhile Link holds his phone in an entirely different, but still utterly real way. It's all so charming and full of character. So engrossing and soothing to watch. It's like ASMR for the eyes.
Dream
ikr
Exactly, her attention to detail is inspiring! I wish I could animate like her, beautiful 💕
@@movedchannels3680 With sheer will and dedication, you will reach it, someday.
The entire animation is great but while holding things is good I think she needs to work on the fingers a little bit because they look not quite right. That one bad thing in a million different parts of animation though.
I love how when link is scrolling through social media. His friends post is just “ A hero has fallen” 😂
Also Revali commenting "HAHAHAHAHA" on it lmao
Ikr lol
I also noticed the thing they’re using is called terry talk
@@BonkedCat *Tarrey

*_"HEY, YOU TWO SHOULD KISS"_*
lmao
Was that an asdf movies reference?
@@birdsbirdsandmorebirds6251 yup
bruh
@@birdsbirdsandmorebirds6251 birds birds birds birds birds birds birds
everything about this is beautiful, but can we talk about the sound effects? the little sound when zelda opens her water bottle, or the taps when they touch the screen of their phones? it’s such amazing attention to detail that really adds to the animation.
It's the same reason no one mentions ambient sounds, it's too minor of a detail.
Yeah, totally agreed
This is adorable. I like the modernization of their interactions as well
when it ended i was shocked and said “no is that it?!?!” out loud😭 this is so cute and i love all the characters from the game you put in
I love how you're creating a whole universe from these stories: Zelda, Link, the Champions, everything.. and they are in college, spot-on! Looking forward to seeing more!
Amen
It looks like Zelda is in college tho.
I think they're college students
@Logan Roof bro why
I love how this is in a college/university setting and not the typical high school one. It's very refreshing!
Also, in a way, cuter.

Im not the usual type to watch animations but I love the legend of zelda and this caught my eye so I clicked this and watched it and the animation was 100% in character and cute. Please make more content
I love how Link's most recent post is him asking where to buy vases, cause in the games if you break one rupees come out. Such a cute attention to detail!
Wait, where was that detail if you don't mind me asking?
@@leirawhitehart1236 at 1:49 at the bottom of zelda's phone
Hehe
Also, in WindWaker (and maybe even more games) there’s a house where you can break someone’s vases, but they yell at you to pay it back when you try to leave. I know it’s a different Link from a different timeline (kinda, I think all the timelines merge together into BOTW) but still would be a great reference.
@@dirgaasmoro9325 ah, thank you! ^^
You know, looking between this and the animation "Texting" you did a mere year ago, you have improved in both art style and animation fluidity TREMENDOUSLY. It's amazing and inspiring to see.

These videos always make me feel so relaxed and cosy, and a nice escape from stress and even a reminder that I can still be happy while balancing my responsibilities and obligations to not only others but myself as well.
I love how Daruk wingmaned for Link. He's like that cool Uncle who has a bunch of video games and is always sharing the secrets the adults never tell you as a kid. Keep them up! Your art is super wholesome.

Give him the Bayformers Bumblebee treatment and have his vocal cords be damaged.

I agree. I can totally watch a series of these videos. this was amazing.
I do luv the idea of this AU Version of Hyrule Castle is like a High School and Link isnt the Legendary Hero but mainly just a top tier student who gets along with alot of people and the King could be just a Principal AKA Zelda's Dad. Also Zelda's outfit is super adorable too! Its simple but it suits this incarnation of her character as shes nerdy and luvs to do research when shes not running for her life that is but shes also shy and insecure about Link always protecting her making her feel weak.
This animation has so many things that make my brain just run. I've only been doing art for like a year, and I can't help but just stare in awe when I see hands be drawn that well! This is an amazing animation!
Lots of personality, eye movements, nervous position readjustment, your understanding of human social behaviors bleeds really well into your animation, warm colors and soft sfx help seal the vibe, love the style, great work
