Welcome to The Basement! The Basement is the friendliest place on CZcams.
In today's video, we walk you through what it was like to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with a mod that lets you play as ZELDA. The great thing about this BotW mod is that it also changes her costumes, animations and even most sound effects.
We made it all of the way through the game and beat Ganon - join us for future videos to see what else we can uncover in this awesome mod entitled "Zelda's Ballad".
HUGE shout out and thank you to the creators of this mod (Zelda's Ballad), Survival of the Wild, as well as the entire BotW modding community. This has been such a fun experience.

The shirt would look more masculine on a man than the pants XD
Link is the one trapped in Hyrule Castle and instead of "open your eyes..." it's just Link going "Hup! Hyah! Haaa!"
Going "Hup! Hyah! Haaa!" for a full century while Calamity Ganon slowly goes even more insane, restrained by the undying knight of Hyrule but still fully aware
@@123890antonioj this is the funniest thing I've ever read I scared my cat laughing too hard
Blood Moon scene:
Link: *falling scream*
Zelda: ok dude!
PFFFfFFf
i would honestly love to see a zelda game where zelda is the main protagonist and needs to save link. maybe she could wield magic to replace combat with weapons?
Well… how do I break it to you… that’s one of the CDi games
It does say *Legend of Zelda* not Legend of link so zelda being the protagonist for once would be cool
@@snipermonkey8665 what’s it called?
@@sstarsodaa Zelda and the wand of gamelon…
The problem is it’s… not exactly *good*
@@snipermonkey8665 yeah isn’t the one shop owner meme from that game or the same creators of it?
Imagine if you finished Breath of the Wild 100% and your reward was that you could play as Zelda.
Galaxy shenanagins
“You can now play as Luigi!”
I think the ending with two Zeldas feels more metaphorical than literal. She is seeing the part of her she was searching for for so long. It feels more like an ending for a story about self discovery and that self discovery lead to her being able to destroy ganon
exactly!
Srsly tho
So basically Celeste on crack
This was pretty neat. My one critique to the modders is that they missed a huge opportunity to have the full "Sheikah" armor set look exactly like OG Sheik.
that's such a good idea omg
That’s probably my only real complaint with this mod
plot twist zeldas ballad is from the downfall timeline were there is two zeldas in links adventure
That would be cool, but there already is a sheik set in the game, you get it from using amibos
@@shadowdeer8455 it's only the mask, and the hair is cut short. the stealth set from the neck down isn't EXACTLY like Sheik's outfit. She also has red eyes, and the mask doesn't give Link red eyes.
It's so amazing seeing how Urbosa's dialogue changed to Zelda, kind of heartbreaking to watch as she told her in person to not blame herself.
I freaking love Urbosa. She’s a boss, and a good sort of mother figure for Zelda.
@@DukGood name of the mod please
@@Itachi-zv8oq idk
@@Itachi-zv8oqZelda’s Ballad I think
I just imagine whenever Zelda is supposed to speak in the game it’s just link groaning aggressively.
“Link, I finally defeated calamity Ganon and found you after all this time!”
“...HYUAGGH!!!...”
I love how throughout the whole thing you two are playing dress up with zelda and totally loving it being like “work it gurl”
Honestly- the girly walk animation was terrible. It just felt like something for the male gaze. Zelda might be a princess but in this mod she's also a warrior so I really like the way she walks and runs now
Yah, the original animation is pretty pathetic. I don't even know what to compare it to. Link's running animation on Zelda is a whole lot better.
@@sgthusla bruh Zelda aint athletic
I think that it’s cool to have Zelda as the character in this mod and changing a few things is needed. BUT there is a point where we go too far and just start feeding into unnecessary gender stereotypes that shouldn’t exist let alone be made more normal.
@@work90 I don’t think you’ve studied that hard into Zelda lore.
@@PloverTechOfficial atleast THIS Zelda
I just realize Zelda needs her own game oh wait...
yeah... she needs a GOOD one...

@@ttm3622 bro💀
as someone who has always played as Zelda in smash, and was pissed upon buying my first Zelda game and not being able to play as her; this brings me so much joy.
Damn, I've already managed to imagine the scene where we see Link fighting Calamity, and we know that he has been fighting non-stop for 100 years. No magic, he just fought with a sword, in tattered clothes, covered with scars
Finally... finally the legend of Zelda
The Legend of Link, you mean.
🤣🤣🤣 truee
The fairytale of link
Imagine playing through breath of the wild as Zelda... AS LINK!
impossible.
Now I understand why it’s called ‘The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild”
Lol you are crazy it's legend of zelda not legend of link.
Lol
@@mrdogbread6735i love your profile picture
These men getting excited for a modest but stylish outfit for a female character is both heart warming and makes me feel like I would be safe around them 😂
No literally they were so excited about the sandals i love it
Same 😭 I'm so happy to see men like them
I as a gamergirl would actually love a role reversed LoZ where Link is born as the prince and Zelda as the knight (or just a random person like Twilight Princess's Link) where as she travels due to some reason where she sees Link in trouble and being a good person she feels the need to help but in the time she's helping its slowly revealed their the two hero's decedents (as normal) and they have to train their powers to defeat the evil.... Or something along those lines IDK ha, love this video
To be fair this is basically what she did on HER side of the story during TotK.
Trained and fought together with others. Journeyed across the world. Unlocked new powers.
As Link we kinda just get to see "important moments" while the whole story was waaaay bigger and unlike BotW where Zelda was stuck in one place - she clearly had adventure of her own this time that took clearly more than a few days.
Sidon Fun Fact: According to Nintendo Sidon, when we see him grown up is of the age 135. Thus meaning that so called Baby Sidon, as cute as he is to see, is actually of the age of 35!
Also Sidon means Fishery in Hebrew!
Hahah that's awesome!
@@The8asement I know right?!
Are you sure it means that in Hebrew because I speak Hebrew and that word is not real
@@benhorn833 Really? Im sorry i was misinformed! Thx for correcting me!
@@auroraackley227 Ye, it more then likely comes from 'Poseidon' , the Greek god of the ocean.
The royal zora names also come from music notes " do-re-mi-fa-so-la-si-do".
Dorephan (do, re), Mipha (mi, fa), Zora (so, la), and Sidon (si, do).
This is further seen in Mipha and Sidon's themes as the most prominent notes for both are their respective music notes. Mi-fa for Mipha and Si-do for Sidon.
I think it would've been neat if the Zeldas were in fact same the same Zelda, but the one inside Ganon could have been Zelda's spirit, or an incarnation of her regret for not being able to save Hyrule the first time. It would've been cool if in the final cutscene the held out their hands and merged Byleth and Sothis style.
how about the zelda in that castle being her goddess powers. they split from her when she was defeated and placed in the shrine of resurrection. could explain why she can't use them the rest of the game.
Finally a game where the game holds true to its title. The Legend of *ZELDA*
Good news, there is another Zelda game where we actually play as Zelda. Bad news, it's one of those terrible CDi games that are considered non-canon by everyone and only remembered for the memes. The Wand of Gamelon. Link gets himself captured and Zelda has to go save his ass.
@@VegetaLF7 🗿
@@VegetaLF7wait what 😭 don’t you play as link in that?
Will say, I love the implication that Zelda already knew how to use weapons before she got out in the sleepy bathtub. Like, maybe that she secretly learned how to fight while out with Link or something.
They should add Zelda as a playable character in the new game or a dlc
I’m just getting into this game ;-;
I want to play as zelda in tears of the kingdom, at least a section of the game
@@microwaveablesalad8326 wat
@@julianheredia2281 Did you not understand what I said?
@@microwaveablesalad8326 nope I’m to stupid to under stand
Although I love sheik, I do kinda like that this Zelda has her own sheikah armor. Kinda keeps up the idea that every Zelda is different
maybe except for the loz 2 zeldas, where there’re 2 zeldas who are identical and has to fight each other for the right to rule the kingdom
Considering the MANY branching timelines, THIS could actually be a canon timeline were the triforces of wisdom and courage got swapped
Ooo interesting.
A world where there's no confusion about the name of the main character... I like it.
It would be cool if there was yet another multiplayer mod, but one player plays as Link and another plays as Zelda.
This really should've been called "The Legend of Link"
Genius
L.O.L
honestly even after the trailer, i still hope that we can play zelda in tears of the kingdom. would be so freaking dope
Finally, after all these years
It's actually the legend of zelda
The legeds of héro or link is canon 😱!!!
I respect the fact that whoever developed the mod didn't make it a thirst trap ahahahah. He could have been rich with a bit of jiggle physics and more revealing outfits. But instead he decided not to turn zelda into walking eye candy
Nintendo treats Zelda with respect, and the modders stayed faithful to that. Good stuff. 😀
Nice bro. The whole point of Legend of Zelda is to go save the world and maybe get rich from picking up thousands of rupees. I'd love to play as Zelda one day, but if the mod just made her look like a whore I'd just stay with Link.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Every second of Zelda in this was *still* eye candy, lol
@@aquaabouttogetfunky I know i know, i was just being silly
Jiggle physics or no, Zelda is still an absolute smoke show
I'd like to imagine all of Zelda's voice lines though the game are instead swapped with Link, and instead of there being any translations to what he's saying, the subtitles are literally just his grunts.
That would be an interesting twist. The idea for the hero is that its based on character snd willpower, thus Link, although trained as a night and not as a mage, could inherit the magical power to hold Ganon in the timeline.
I like that Zelda now can fight with weapons and now she's not just a mage.
Seeing the two Zeldas makes me want a universe in which Zelda has a twin/sister, and one of them fulfills link’s role in the prophesy and the other is normal Zelda. I think it’d be a really neat dynamic
I replied with the following in another post, but figured it works here too (a copy paste) 😄: Awhile ago, I started writing fan fiction after playing BOTW, except Link was the younger royal sister of Zelda. Ganandorf was within the castle and part of the royal court in hiding, waiting for the birth of the next hero. The fact that this Link was a girl threw all the bad guys off until she was strong enough to take on the role of the Hero. Meanwhile shes getting more bad ass each year. Ganandorf starts to suspect things and hires someone within the champions as a double agent to keep tabs on Link's training and skill, with the plan to assassinate her before she was too strong (but only if there was proof she was the next Hero so not to out himself as the reincarnate of Demise). I had plans for a character like Mipha to foil the murder plot... anywho...thats the general back story :p and yes there would be a love triangle in the middle somewhere, because who doesn't like a good love triangle.
@@ellegee4043 dont be shy, give us the link(pun not intended), i would absolutely love to read this
@@ellegee4043 please tell me you remember the fanfic.
@@Makaponpon Its still in draft mode in a word document haha.
@@sonoftheplague2867 do you mean the Legend of Zelda "books". Ive heard of them but never read them.
So, just in the beginning but I'm going to answer the question you asked. Not everything a girl/woman does has to look "girly" or "feminine". She's saving the world for heavens sake, not in a beauty contest. LEAVE ZELDA ALOOOONNNNEE
Plus, I remember capris being super popular with girls when I was younger. I also remember being pissed because my school banned them for some reason.
It's not that deep. Chill.
@@lh1822 It was a joke. Chill.
I wouldn't say Zelda's OG running animation is "girly," but it looks hella pathetic. When she runs like Link does, she actually looks pretty badass heroine. Like the dude said, she looks more determined.
@@sgthusla Honestly, I agree. I like it!
52:35 it looks like the Zelda that was inside of Dark Beast Ganon has been stuck in a loop unaging. Meanwhile, the other one has matured over her adventures.
So the one in the dress is just super excited running back and forth here like
"Ooh what's this? What's that? Look over here."
Meanwhile adventuring Zelda is just like
"Yep. Uh-huh. Ok. Sure. That's great sweety... You don't say?..."
Nice to see someone finally playing Legend of Link, it’s pretty good.
This mod has dudes playing dress-up with no questions asked, and I'm here for it.
You know... it occurs to me that this could actually work in the future, and would be an interesting twist on the whole reincarnation thing.
I don't think that the franchise has ever given any reason that Link HAS to be the hero and Zelda HAS to be the wisdom girl and/or plot device, only that the two are being reincarnated repeatedly. Heck, following the same logic, Ganondorf doesn't have to be reincarnated as the big bad. Strictly speaking, a game where Ganondorf stops evil Zelda while Link is the plot device could be possible within the lore.
We could have a story where the hero fails and Zelda has to save hyrule by herself
U dont know Skyward sword right? Like, link = the spirit of the hero zelda = the goddess and ganondorf = demise
From what I remember Zelda is always the princess of hyrule and is meant to be the reincarnation of Goddess Hylia, and Ganon/Ganondorf was Demise’s curse that there will always be ganon to hunt them
Skyward Sword specifies that Link, as legendary hero, and Zelda, as legendary goddess had been cursed by Demise to be reborn over and over again in the same roles, with Demise following them under the reincarnation Ganondorf, so yes, there IS a reason. That was specified in the very curse that caused the reincarnation.
True as the Skyward Sword Dilemma is, if a game so chooses to fully canonize Demise's curse as "Broken", who's to say the cycle of reincarnation won't continue anyway due to the influence of the Triforce and/or Hylia herself?
I wouldn't be surprised if the Goddess decided to keep it going just for entertainment's sake.
i guess it makes sense for the zora people to refer to link as the one mipha had feelings for, especially if the mod team is trying to be as canon-compliant as possible, but it wouldve been extremely funny to me specifically if they decided to go for Gay Fish Princesses for sake of ease lmao
I would love to see both of them as playable characters. Let us choose, they can just reverse the roles in the story for each.
This is an insane mod!…
Also… I find it funny that Zelda now has to rescue link. It’s like a parallel universe!
Imagine a game where a Zelda, from any timeline, somehow ends in a Hyrule that doesn't remember the legend of the eternal battle between Link and Ganondorf, and that also forgot about the Princess Zelda. That could be a nice context for any game that features Zelda as a playable character.
25:22 MANNN it really looks like a lot of care went into making this mod. I think there needs to be a new era of adventure games like this where the protag is a woman, and made in a way that she is relatable to ALL WOMEN instead of just existing to satisfy the male gaze
That's just the dlc cutscene. No mod
@@madre6970 Maybe they were on mobile and accidentally added the timestamp
Females though..
Shush, give me some chest, and don't make her fat (like they did with Aloy.)
@@RezaQin me when i dont see women as human beings
Link moving like a bokoblin is everything I never guessed I needed to see.
Zelda blowing up a bone lad while screaming, “WOMANS RIGHTS!” gets me every time XD
Girls be shopping, Zelda be linking
I just headcanon that a strand of Zelda’s dna fell into the shrine of resurrection with Link’s body, leading him to be revived as a clone of her.
Zelda had a twin named Link in this universe (the champion princess). She just couldn't remember her own name, only her sister, Zelda's so she took that name and everyone thought it was the heir twin. Any suggestion of a love triangle would have to be taken differently, and Mipha's into girls I guess
I think it is better that they didn't change too many of the animations. Just because the character is female doesn't mean everything she does has to be different. Though given the difference in personality between the two it would make sense for the animations to be different in some cases. On a side note. female Link is linkle but what is male Zelda?
Linkle is her own character. (With the background established for her being that she idolizes Link and wants to follow in his footsteps and prove herself to be the next great hero. I'd imagine that if she shows up again in a new story they might do something to distance the next Linkle from that type of start. Much like how incarnations of Link don't always repeat exactly the same backstory as previous Links.) Granted, she is the closest thing to "female Link" that anybody that keeps asking for it is ever going to see.
I don't think they've created a character that we could think of as a male counterpart to Zelda in the same way that Linkle is a female counterpart to Link. A character who could fill the same (or mostly the same) role in a story. It probably wouldn't be the king. Wind Waker established (if it wasn't already a thing in an earlier game) the king as being representative of the type of person that the Triforce would judge to be balanced between the three traits, unlike the usual trio we're used to seeing at the center of the series each representing one trait much more strongly than they represent the other two traits. A male counterpart to Zelda would have to be a wisdom type just like her, maybe a bookworm type of character like Twilight Princess's Shad. Plus there's the bloodline connection that the devs would want to stick to. The most likely candidate for her counterpart would be a prince of Hyrule, someone else who would be a descendant of the goddess Hylia's bloodline that traces back to Skyward Sword's Zelda. But the closest the franchise has ever gotten to including such a character is from a backstory written in the manual for the 2nd NES game. The story where the dying king had to decide whether his son or daughter most deserved to inherit the kingdom from him, and the court's wizard tempted the prince into helping him curse the princess into an endless sleep to ensure that the prince would inherit everything. For the entire rest of the series after that we tend to mostly just hear about the king and the princess. A mother has been mentioned a couple times, but that's as far as any mentions of other members of the royal family goes.
@@MuljoStpho I have seen a couple different ideas around the community but people are more interested in making female counterparts for known characters rather than male ones but that is just more of a general thing. At this point it has been established that the magic seems to follow mostly along the paths of the mothers. Which makes sense considering it was a goddess that the bloodline comes from. But regardless of it all. It is some things to ponder on.
28:20 "You are the hero. You are the one who bares the masculine energy"
classic nintendo plot right there 🤣
“Mipha really cared about the guy that she hired!”
Finally a gameplay of Legend of Link: Breath of the wild.
Imagine if this was an actual DLC.
"The Non-Cannon Attack on Ganon"
Would be a hell of a plot twist if, at the end, Zelda explained something like ...
Zelda: "Soooo ... remember that Shrine of Resurrection? Someone messed up the configuration to make you look like me! 'We want to see Zelda fighting instead of Link', I think there were some people saying something like this."
Link: "Oh! ... So that's why I have a ..." **Cut for the credits**
What
Lol that would’ve been so funny
Zelda just looks great in every outfit
THATS MAD!!! I've always wanted to see a Zelda game where you play as you know Zelda and have to rescue Link, after years for their struggle Ganondorf aims to take out The hero with Courage 1st leaving the Princess "defenceless" but she steps up and journeys on to save Link when recused only together can they defeat Ganon.
THAT FLAME GUARD REALLY LOOKS INCREDIBLE!!!! I really hate how the Link one is, and now i hate that one even more after seeing that one.
this is so cool, i've always wish we could play as Zelda in the zelda game
38:13 was hilarious 😂😂
Probably this was zelda trying to fight Ganon before link woked up. Obviously she failed as linked quest started on the actual game.
Great review. Whoever edited it all together deserves a raise
I want a Zelda centric game so bad! This mod just shows how amazing it would be!
Link: Zelda! Zelda! I can not defeat Ganon! You must hurry to save me!
22:31 made me laugh so hard I have tears in my eyes 😂😂😂
43:50 the reason the master sword last a long time inside the hurtle castle. The master sword will reach its full potential when fighting enemies with malice, the whole of hurtle castle is infested with malice and master sword lowers durability by decimal points when at full power.
*So I've been wasting weapons whenever I enter Hyrule castle?*
You know, looking at those outfits for Zelda reminded me of this piece of artwork someone did with a What if Female Link and what the various outfits in BotW would look like on her. They were very nice.
The one that was holding it back is the real power Zelda, and the one that you guys are playing at is that like physical form of Zelda, like in tears of the kingdom, where they can take their power forms out of their bodies
"EXCUUUUUUUUUSSSEEEE ME LINK"
Babbabhaahhaahahha
6:44 in and the rest is history 😂. One simply does not mock Princess Zelda for getting kicked by a horse
"Wooaahh! He's a Super Bokoblin!" I was...hearing that in Vegeta's voice XD
You're not dealing with the average Bokoblin anymore.
29:28 This had me dying, you guys have to make a full version of this!

Dope mod! Those costumes were on point!
Amazing video guys! My favorite thing is when you guys upload, keep the amazing work going guys :)
This was awesome man, love the humor in this. Thanks for making this, the video was a lot of fun.
Link :.........
Zelda: so I've been asleep for 100 years and need to come to castle to save you? Got it
Oh! I've been waiting for Legend of Link: Breath of the Wild to come out! This is great!
ngl for a second I was confused like
“i ThOuGhT yOu PlAy As ZeLdA”

This is a very cool “what if” mod and I’m all for it.
I like it this way in the game playing as Princess Zelda
i’ve always wanted to play as zelda. i would be so happy to be fighting monsters in curls and cute outfits!! i love the femininity implemented.
it has been my dream since I was 3 years old to play as zelda and for once not link, I always thought that she should be a playable character
I loved watching Ted and Peter completely GEEK OUT about the flame breaker armour XD
This video is literally a shopping spree and I love it
Zelda...Zelda...you're Hyrule's last hope...
This was actually an insane game of hide and seek
Zelda being the playable character in a Zelda game would've been fantastic for once.
such a good vid guys i love you guys! ive been watching you guys for about a year now
The two Zeldas could simply be twins, as an Occam's Razor explanation!
Imagine being the title of the game but you aren’t the main character???
It's literally been this way since it's inception in 1986.
I love this. I've never related to Link. Of course, I know I make his decisions, but if anything I felt more like a God, a being outside and watching the world from above. So I actually loved Age of Calamity bc the moment I played as Zelda, I finally understood what all the guys felt playing as Link. Also, that wide hipped Link thing is actually really weird lol.

It would be so cool if we got to play as Zelda or if you got to have a choice between Link and Zelda right at the beginning of the game. The game is named after her anyways. I could also just imagine Link as the damsel in distress 😂
i would love to see how the tunic of wild looked on Zelda but y’all would have to complete lots of shrines then 😅😭
You had me cracking up from start to finish 😂
That's actually amazing. I've always liked the idea of being able to play as Zelda even though BOTW was my first Zelda game and I didn't mind playing as Link at all.
Finally… The Legend of Link
This just makes me want them to give Zelda a proper game
Awesome vid!
I wish I knew how to mod Zelda. I used fancy graphics to make a manual achievement system for one of my videos, but a mod that made it all automatic would've been so helpful 😆
Can't wait to see what you do next!
The only reason I would want to play as zelda in this series is so I don't have to put on the Gerudo outfit every time I want to go in Gerudo town, cause Gerudo town is my favorite place to go to unwind and relax in. And yes another reason is cause of the outfits, they look sick on her
