anyways good game i love it here.
thanks for being here :) hope you have a good day!!!
tears of the kingdom gameplay
At the end of the game Ganondorf apologizes for being a "meanie head" and then he gives Link a hug and they all live happily ever after
Yay
oh thats nice
canon fr/j
How dare you spoil the the story
I really hope so
It'sso sad, since Zelda's mom died when Zelda was young, and Rhoam acted more like a king than a dad, Rauru and Sonia is the closest Zelda's ever got to having parents
One thing I noticed is that King Rhoam’s diary in Hyrule Castle where he laments how he treated Zelda and expressed his intention to stop pushing her when she comes back from Mount Lanayru and be more caring and loving towards her (which of course didn’t happen because he died before she got back), it’s gone. The diary is no longer there. We know she went back to the castle a few times and her own diary is also gone. She picked them up for sure. She knows now at least how he felt and that he was going to be kind and supportive to her.
I commented something very similar 5 days ago in another channel lmao. You copycat!!! Just jokint🤣 but fr, it’s so sad to see Zelda lose so much… Zelda and Link’s destiny is so cruel, having someone so young, having so much responsibility on their shoulders must be so exhausting but it’s not like they can just run away
Well in a way they are
You forgot Urbosa, she sleeping too 😢
There was also Urbosa. Which makes Sonia's death and Rauru's sacrifice that much worse for her. She has to lose a mother figure for the third time and a second, decidedly better father figure.
Something I really love about the Princess and the Queen is that they each have their own flowers. Sundelions for Sonia, Silent Princesses for Zelda. The memories hit hard
fr. the tattoo inspiration hit hard when i made the connection between the two flowers
@@jackal0p yeah you see the sundelions appeared in sonia's grave and the silen't princess appeared in zelda's last tear. Meaning that's the last of them both.
i think my favorite part of totk has been watching how... tenderly everyone treats dragon zelda once they find that out. like, there's multiple videos of people just bringing link up to sit on her head and saying "date night 😊!" and the like. my favorite is someone took a silent princess flower, used ultrahand to manipulate it so they could put it in front of zelda's eyes, then to her nose so she could sniff it. idk. i just love how sweet people are to dragon zelda
while i was farming her for parts to upgrade the champion's leathers i kept telling her how beautiful she was and how cool it was that we could fly around together!
And other romantic things like shooting her whenever she flies by so Link can give those parts to massive fairy women who drag him into their pond.
@@vbsenthusiast u heartless monster, how DARE u hit her. I hope u accidentaly cut ur toenails a bit too short so it hurts everytime u try to walk, and if u for some reason cant walk i hope both sides of ur pillow is hot when ur trying too sleep.
accually, scratch that. I hope ur both sides of ur pillow is hot even IF u can walk
'if i was a worm would u still love me?' yes, zelda, we do still love you
The Light Dragon trying to throw you off of her when you grab the Master Sword is so heartbreaking. She's really forgotten everything, if she can neither recognize Link or recall her mission with the sword. All she knows now is that you're hurting her. She's little more than a scared animal now, all alone in that grand sky.
That's what disturbs me the most about the dragon transformation. It's a fate worse than death as her brilliant mind is reduced to that of an animal.
I think there is some part of her that still remembered something. She tried to throw Link off not because pulling the sword was hurting her or getting her scared, but because she was protecting the sword from the intruder. She forgot how Link looks like, but she still remembered that she's supposed to guard this sword even if she had forgotten why.
its my head canon that fi being impaled in zelda head like that is to save zelda. fi sealed zelda mind away instead of it permanently being gone
@@shelliblossom8953 it isn't impaled though. It's just wrapped in her hair. That's why when she releases it link picks it up without effort.
I love quin’s arc from not liking Sonia to loving her
she’s so nice I feel terrible for not trusting her in the beginning
@@QuinBoBin same
@@QuinBoBin I loved Sonia and Rauru
@@jthegayjay1638 loved?
When I first heard Quin’s theory about Zelda becoming a dragon, I laughed and thought it was ridiculous. Then I got the final cutscene, and… D;
I thought it was a stretch at first too
@@QuinBoBin lol when i first heard you say that i had already seen it and i was like: AINT NO WAY THIS MAN CAN PREDIC THE FUTER
Quin: So Zelda is possibly a dragon Me: Should we tell him? 👀
@@Dandygirl_94 lol
I've been waiting so long to say anything in the comments. The best Quin reaction I could have hoped for. This game was very aptly named. I've cried so many times in this game. The only thing I'll add to this comment, is to make sure you have all memories logged before the final boss. I was missing one, which led to a slightly different ending, just like in BotW. I'm very excited for the rest of this playthrough
The zeldas lullaby as she is transforming is just a musclical masterpiece
ITS SO GOOD
@@QuinBoBin if you want more music nostalgia, start a quest at the stables outside of rito village and then head to the woodland stables. You need to get the band back together.
I DIDNT realise it was playing until after watching the memories again and i cried again cuz it hurt
Actually it's just 3 notes of the original Zelda's lullaby. And after that the tones went down clearly indicated something horrible/terrible happened. It was very well made and supports the scenes so perfectly.
@@jonson856 while twisted it is still zeldas lullaby. Same with the final trailler at the end. Only 3 notes but we know what it is
I absolutely can't when the light dragon tears up. I immediately start crying. But also doesn't that mean she hasn't lost all of herself if she's capable of remembering and feeling so much she's crying??? I'm grasping at straws here 😭
She's actually unconscious as a dragon. Maybe she got something in her eye idk
I’ve watched those cut scenes so many times, now, and I still bawl my eyes out every time. Sometimes I cry just thinking about it. And I believe there’s still a tiny shred of memory inside her, making her cry. But mostly, she’s not human anymore.
I think the tears are her memories that's most likely it and her shedding them means she's losing them as in losing her memories
don't want to be spoilery (!!!!!!) but the end of the game will answer this question for you
I hope you’re right
Helpful tip: if ur sad cause Zelda became a dragon, use that anger against the mighty force known as the Koroks. Also, Quin had a plan for once.
No no no use it against Ganondorf
@@spunkyfunkymonke the Koroks are a more terrifying force.
Nah nevermind i realize my mistake..don't worry I already know all the tears..
Thanks :,)
SHHH THATS A SPOILER TO PPL WHO HAVEN'T PLAYED
"Link protect them all!" that was the first time I legit cried about a video game gosh I love this game
THAT PART OH MY GOD
The first time I cried about a video game was read dead redemption 2
I cried when Zelda said “protect them all and her eyes became the dragon’s. Such a good scene.
Probably one of my favourite video game moments of all time tbh
more like a sad scene
@@QuinBoBin Same here!
Zelda's sacrifice is what made me cry. I'm glad Quinn decided to complete the Dragon Tears in one go. The Dragon Tears were like anime episodes where you "try" to stop yourself from continuing because it's already late in the night but you ended up watching the whole season till morning.
Personally this is what makes TOTK better than BOTW. Because in BOTW either you defeat Ganon or not you would have already get the complete story like there's not much mystery or story after defeating Ganon, you just get to see Zelda back. Oppose to in TOTK you will want to Destroy Ganondorf to be able to complete the story of which what happened/will happen to Zelda.
The part that always breaks my heart the most is that when Mineru talks about swallowing the secret stone, Rauru responds “that’s one way of getting to the future, but not a very quick one.” This means that ZELDA HAS BEEN A CRYING DRAGON FOR 10,000+ YEARS! It’s such a powerful sacrifice she made & I get chills every time I watch that final scene 😭
Actually it's far worse then 10,000 years. If it takes place before the first calamity then it's 30,000+ years and if that scenetakes place a bit before or after Skyward sword! We are talking around 1.6 MILLION YEARS of crying... Oof
SPOILERS At least, at the end, when Zelda gets turned back she says she barely remembers it. Doesn't mean it wasn't traumatic but it makes me feel a little better.
Watching BoBin play is the peak of my Saturday
Correct
yes
BEFORE TEN MINUTES TICKET
It's 11pm of Saturday. Tomorrow we have to go to church at 5 am. I may look like a zombie tomorrow but I'll be the happy looking zombie.
I am always so exited when Quin posts Zelda content and watch it at soon as I can
I’ve seen that last cutscene so many times and the “Link, protect them all” STILL gives me goosebumps
I can tell that part is gonna sit with me for a long time
I think I'm the only one confused by who "them all" are... Somebody help 😅
@@ashlynnbarber5433 I think it's just referring to Hyrule and its inhabitants. In BOTW and TOTK (and technically in most Zelda games), everything Link and Zelda do is to save their kingdom. Zelda, now all the way in the past, did what she could to stop Ganondorf in that era, but to no avail. It's now up to Link to protect the kingdom of the present time. It's extra touching, knowing that her sacrifice was horrible, but so necessary, and she was willing to take that risk for the Hyrule she'd already spent 100 years protecting.
I love how he just goes for all the memorioes and nothing can stop him
I had too the story is too good
@@QuinBoBinI can’t find the tears idk how u do it lmao
@@QuinBoBin It really is
@@Lando1115find Impa
@@ashlynnbarber5433 I found them like a week ago lol thx tho
I felt the same when I saw the last tear. I felt empty and numb. This iteration of Zelda is by far the one who is so different from the previous versions of her and went through so much. She struggled unlocking her light powers, getting pressured and frustrated that she couldn't do it and lost her champions in the process.. And when she did she held back the calamity and waited for Link for 100 years only for now to... be what she became at the present. And then you remember this is the era of Hyrule's founding. This predates the tapestry Impa showed us in BOTW.
I cried more in this game than in Botw. The 'Tears' in the title is no joke.
quin: *sees winged thing* also quin: bird
don't forget: this is the same guy who named the Korok with the lemon-looking leaf "Forklift." him calling an Aerocuda a bird is definitely something he'd do
Fi's theme plays when Zelda receives the sword. So awesome
Oh it does? I missed it
And the constant references to the master sword as "She"
Just so you know Quin, you didn’t miss any visions into the past cuz you’ll get some visions into the past just by playing the story
Oh ok cool I was wondering about that
He is just the best. Whenever he says “good morning how’s it going” makes my day
same. it just warms my heart up so much
When I saw the dragon crying for the first time it was like a knife in my heart. The whole concept of the game made sense. I still think that what zelda did was one of the most beautiful acts of love and trust, to lose herself completely so link could have a >chance< to win because she just trusts him THAT much. I started loving zelda as a character so much and the story of this game became truly important to me after that.
When i got the last tear i literally was so frantic running chasing after her and luckily a piece of sky island fell and i jumped on it, ran as fast as i could and reached her n got the master sword and literally the adrenaline rush, i was sobbing hysterically
At the temple where you see the locations, there's a plaque that says "a tear for a tear". I like the idea that it means a tear (as in cry) for a tear (as in rip. Like rip through time). You could probably look at other languages to know for sure, but I like that double meaning.
i also believe that that plaque refers to two different meanings of "tear"; however, I think that the usage of "tear" is the other way around...
@@danielburgess5864 it might be. I was going back and forth in which way made more sense... Still don't have an answer.
In French it says something like "la larme des larmes" which means "the tear of tears", both with the "crying" meaning as the two meaning are not on the same word in French like they are in English Don't know which one is more accurate to the original Japanese version but I would suspect it is highly unlikely that the tear/tear confusion also exists in Japanese
@@vb8133 yeah, in Japanese, it's both "namida" which is "tears" as in crying. It says something like "tear in a tear" if I'm not mistaken (泪はなみだに)
Quin, first my little bug heart bleeds for you, and while that blood is dripping it turns into little bug tears only one among many in the city of tears, but then that big city what does it do? It grows, it grows into a kingdom, and at last, we have tears fit for a kingdom. love you.
Quin bro don’t worry about crying, I was literally sobbing through most of this episode you’re not the only one
7:21 When Quin said "I'm a big fan of them" I fully expected him to pick up the fan. In Quin's words, sadness is a word that comes to mind.
God I cry every time, the music during Zelda’s transformation is actually bone chilling! Also the end of that last memory where we hear Zelda’s lullaby but with the same instrument that the dragons theme uses 😭😭😭 y’all remember that one trailer where they play it and focus on the castle and we were so confused?! It makes sense now….
Quin going to Lurelin village before me is one of the most useful monster warnings ever
No way, the proving ground shrine with monster tracking roombas is my favorite so one I’ve done in my play through so far! So glad it made it into the video. Every single time I see you’ve posted a video it makes my day better, even before I watch it I’m just happier.
it was really fun, I didn’t know something like that existed in this game
No game has teared me more up than this one
Tears of the gamers.
I’ve never cried during this game. I don’t cry nearly as much as I should. But I still cry whenever I see old negatives of a cat that died many years ago. If they put cats in the next game I’ll immediately cry for sure.
What is a negative?
@@tobiaspetersson6446 photo negatives, back when people printed physical photos from cameras. The negative was basically the unfinished photo.
@@midnightbloomofeorzea7182 People still do that. I have a bunch of undeveloped film that probably only has horrible photos because I'm a mediocre photographer. It's pretty cool that photosensitive crystals can capture a beautiful image. It just costs 25 cents for each picture.
I had tears streaming down my face watching Zelda sacrifice herself and then literally sobbed when her dragon eyes filled with tears. I was emotional for days after. And the way they blended BOTW’s theme with the new theme with Zelda’s Lullaby?? 😭😭😭 Also, we all wanted to be able to ride the dragons, but not like thissssss 😭😭😭😭 But way to go, Zelda. At the end of BOTW, she thought her power had faded over the last one hundred years. And here she’s been pouring her sacred light into the Master Sword for tens of thousands of years.
That music really does go right to the heart.
"I just want a timeline where they save themselves" 😭❤
I recommend going to speak to impa since you’ve finished all the memories. She has some interesting dialogue for what happened (she’s in the temple of time)
Oh you’re so right
The combat shrines in this game are made so well.
Yeah for real I really like them
When I finished the geoglyphs it had my crying so much! And the way you go to that last ear and when you finish it, you’re surrounded by Silent Princesses after had me sobbing! And I had this happen at night so I was just surrounded by these glowing flowers!
nice attention to detail, but you can briefly see link's eyes and eyebrows change like hes holding back his own tears. this game is perfect 😢
Watching Quin after a 9 to 5 shift is the most relieving thing ever
Quin! The memories you're missing are progression based, so the more you finish the game quests the more you'll see.
I now know why it's called tears of the kingdom... because the emotional moments make me cry all the time
Yeah, this hurt when I found out. it was like 2:30 am when I finished the tears. I had just figured out that you could ride the dragons like 45 minutes before and was already on a high from that. Then this. Such a game changing couple of moments. Before that I was having a REALLY hard time fighting shit. But dragon horns + master sword made things SOOOO much easier.
I recovered the smallest amount when the memory ended, then I saw the flowers and cried again
You are one of the best channels probably ever. Just in general. Thank you for being you. 😊
100percent agree too underated
Third time watching the draconification cutscene and I'm still getting goosebumps.
this and the sealing Ganondorf cutscene never fail to slap
With the last memory, this Zelda cemented herself as one of the best princesses in the series 😭❤️
Dude the fact that quin got his prediction of what’s going to happen right in the beginning of the game is absolutely insane to me. Also if you want to get the master sword your going to need 2 stamina wheels
Perfect timing I was just about to rewatch your other totk videos while I ate breakfast :) thank you!!!
so real for that
I remember watching the first episode of this and thinking the dragon was Naydra just because of the colours of the spine and the horns, not truly noticing the mane (pretty sure Naydra is also supposed to represent Zelda in some way). Finding out the dragon is Zelda makes me so sad man.
I got that final memory on the one year anniversary of my cat Zelda’s death. He was 17 years old when he died, and that made the cutscene hurt even more. He was such a sweet cat and was with me my whole life until June 4th, 2022. My brother named him Zelda because he’s a huge Zelda nerd, so this game has a grip on me. Rip to the two amazing Zelda’s
I just wish that we could learn more about this Ganondorf's backstory.
Me too
Every time Quin uploads it’s just the highlight of my day. Hope you check out Tarrey Town soon, there’s one of the cutest quests there.
Cant believe that at the end of the game link walks up to the light dragon, goes "HYAH" and eats it. It was such an emotional scene, and i cried real tears (of the kingdom) for hours :(
I didn’t believe his dragon theory, I was a fool. Me trying not to cry over that last memory was painful
I didn’t fully believe it either lol
can already tell it’s gonna be a banger video big man linkus
After I got that last memory, I actually couldn’t stop crying for a whole half hour. Like you mentioned, I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much over a video game either.
26:50 Quin is resisting the urge to say that it reminds him of shadow the calosses
Still blown away by the fact that Quin guessed the whole plot twist of Zelda being a dragon like two or three episodes ago
They went absolutely all out with the memories this time. Holy shit. Ganon is finally terrifying again, and Zelda is such a champ... I love this game so much!
When I finished the cut scenes I just sat there with my jaw dropped in shock for like 15 minutes in disbelief and I cried
I cried even worse when I saw all the Silent Princesses all around him. Just knowing she gave up her life for her world is just amazing!! I love Zelda so much
I love that the first thing sword does after time travel is telling Zelda that Link is fine. Master sword is like a best friend to both Zelda and Link and she knows what's on Zelda's mind and comforts her.
I just watched your last video yesterday. I swear I have wayched some series over and over. I put them in the bg of me drawing, doing chores, and even while exploring in totk. I enjoy your commentary a lot and I’m glad that loz allowed me to discover your channel
Quin i have rewatched these tears of the kingdom videos so many times i absolutely love them
Glad you like them
When I hear “Everybody!” It brings great joy to me.
The moment zelda,s eyes twist and transform. Nightmare fuel, i got goosebumps on places i didnt know i could have them
quinn, i want an episode of you unleashing the horrors of your goblin brain's beatboxing brain cells in the form of zonai machines. we need quinn building zonai machines for an episode
I was so shocked when I saw her transformation to the dragon, I needed two whole days to process it
It's wonderful being able to watch someone as enthusiastic about this game as I am. I never cry at games, but the way I felt so attacked when I heard FI, I all out lost it. I love Link's reaction. I love Quin's reaction.
When I started playing botw I started watching KZhead videos and Quin was my favorite KZheadr. I rewatched some of his videos 5 times because he was so funny. I have loved being able to play alongside him in breath of the wild, and now that is happening again for totk. Thank you quin.
The tear things that sonia, rauru and Zelda have look so delicious i want to digest it so bad
@@lexiofhyrule0409 yk, why not.
*In today's episode of Tears of the Kingdom...* It’s an empty casket funeral. Sonia's fate was predestined. *[REDACTED]* In other words: the woman’s fridged, folks. Stories continue without their darlings. In Quin’s time, Lurelin is under siege from a monstrous force in a literal sense. The Hero bravely bounds forth with a hive in hand before his swarm swarms him, and so that little village on the sea may wait just one more day. In a sense it may be better off this way, for now Quin may focus on the Tears of the Kingdom. The Imprisoning War is a tale of monstrous forces ripping apart Hyrule, as they do every few decades, though in this retelling the Hero is absent. The ouroboros snaps its jaws and the cycle falls shut once Rauru seals away the Demon King. Wait, seals…? Seal plushie cart?! Hyrule is in a state of disrepair without its Princess. The folk working on the Skyview Towers are *[REDACTED]* foolish at best, unlike Quin. He can ride a car and build drones… why is he out in the fields, again? Shouldn’t he be an engineer with all of the magical advantages he has? Certainly not the math skills, of course, but a bottle of glue will make things easy! …Pardon? _Oh-!_ Quin is _not_ distracted! He resists temptation. Neither koroks nor shrines may beckon his mind away from this _most sacred of sacred tasks,_ the geoglyphs! The tears fall and his eyes burn. …But how may he find Zelda when She is a wyrm? There are approximately 10,000 years between the ancient Great Calamity and the modern Great Calamity, and many more beyond this. In just a turn of the wheel, Hyrule has fought countless evils and cycled through a many Princess & Hero, each under the literally selfless eye of the mythical ouroboros. Now, in the era of the wild, the final tear falls, carrying Her greatest burden and Her final memory. Even flying through the air, She is not yet free: She still consumes Her own tale. The Light Dragon is beautiful. Quin is astonished: Unable to return to denial, he comes for bargaining. If he relieves Her of this great purpose, though She cries with his effort, he may give Her the peace She must desire. She’s been waiting for him for thousands of years, surely She may wait just one more day?... *Thus concludes our (mis)adventures for today.*
*Today’s Koroks:* 17:28 Despite his duty, Quin still manages to snatch away *Korok 34.* It’s better for the little guy to be out here than his homeland, eclipsed by shadow rather than the typical fog. Perhaps the Upheaval’s effects are more pervasive than they seem. 22:25 *Korok 35* doesn’t respect the emotional significance these geoglyphs hold. This is Hyrulean holy ground. *TRUE Korok Count: 35/???*
These are always so fun to read bahaha
i’m so impressed by how quin guessed the whole zelda turning into a dragon thing so early like maybe it was kinda obvious but i didnt waste one thought about it and i was so shocked when i realised😭😭
"Link, would you still love me if I was a wyrm?" -Zelda, probably
The "You must" as she steels herself to swallow the secret stone. My heart
I can't believe Rauru had more faith in and was a better father figure to Zelda in like a week then the Old man was his whole life.
The thing that really got me tearing up is that in the memory where Zelda turns into a dragon, Zelda’s lullaby is playing
When I saw how the memories turned out, I was so sad. Watching you find them, I halfway didn’t want you to bc of how sad they'd make you. Love your content. Keep going, the story is so good!
Hey quin, heres a tip. If you fuse a cart to a shield, and then shield jump, you'll be able to ride around like your on a skateboard. Same thing works with frozen meat, and even butter.
This might sound weird, but Quin has such a bright laugh, like one that makes you laugh too. It just makes me happy
I remember the first time i saw the final memory, was the first time a video game made me cry. It was such a good story
Watching Quin's emotions while collecting the memories was the same emotions I went through as well. I had the theory that maybe what happened to Zelda did happen to her but I was in denial all the way till the very last tear. And I couldn't even process the emotions I felt properly at the time. And now I cried after watching Quin go through it as well. I can't wait to save Zelda 😢. I love this game ❤
I already found all these memories, few weeks ago, I cried at the time, and now I am crying again. Also, to grab the sword you will need two full stamina wheels, just saying 😂. If you want to get in the Korea’s forest, I will say you have to go to the depths, I won’t tell you where to go though. Great video, love it. Ah, You should look for Kilton, you will have a laugh.
I remember watching your content 3 years ago when i didn't even know proper english (not a native speaker) and you still manage to brighten my day :)
i always watch my brother quinn play botw and totk he’s off across the country getting life saving surgery so i’m stuck with you 😔 jokes aside finding your channel back when you started botw and watching you especially now has really been a joy i’ve needed
I love how quin wishes only the best for link and zelda
if this man doesnt get more hearts with those 28 blessings he has im gonna lose it lmao
Hey Quin! To cheer you up, go to the underground colosseum with no weapons on you! You get something awesome
my favorite thing about the hunt is turning all of the little dogs on and just having one enemy left and seeing a literal ARMY ganging up on one of those robot guys
That smile from the dagger geoglyph is perfectly fine, you've just caught Ganondorf Mid-Suave
Bc everything was so sad this episode it may be comforting to know that in the 5 years between botw and totk zelda and link were in a relationship and lived happily in hateno
My power has been out for almost three days and I’ve been dying of boredom so you’re saving me right now
Man, you are the first guy I saw, that actually capture TOTK footage in a decent quality on the switch, thank you for that!
i just binged this series and i love it so much!!
I like the way Mr. BoBin solves shrine puzzles.
Ok honestly, Quinn freaking out about the bees as 1:40 is so funny to me, only because you can hear his chair squeak😂
I'm so glad Quin went through the exact journey I did of suspecting Zelda would do that when Mineru first mentioned the possibility, then denying it bc that would be too sad, to being forced to accept it with the game literally confirming the theory. Like, that scene ended, I was surrounded by Silent Princesses, and I was just screaming "NOOO, I was right!!!!" through the tears streaming down my face
Same!! I was in so much denial. And then when she was about to do it, I was like, “Zelda, no!!”
I see on my fyp a 30 minute Quin video. Now it’s time to watch it five times in a row today, thanks for the fantastic content and keep up the great work!
