Which Zelda game has the best Master Sword scenes?
Breath of the wild after the trials
The TOTK one
Obviously, the best moment of all time is twilight princess I personally have the game for GameCube
@@IamLegendaryguy1998yep me too
Obviously 2024, of course
Wind Waker is my favorite sword pull. I mean, these gigantic knight statues are actually tipping their swords at your accomplishment, how empowering is that? Plus, the sage concerts are a delight too
Wish we had seen a flashback showing all 7 Sages playing a concert as Daphnes conducts them when after removing the Master Sword as a foreshadowing of what Link would need to do to fully empower it. Hopefully in a future remake we'll get to witness such a scene.
I absolutely loved Wind Waker's concept. So few games have music as a central mechanic. And the concert with Medli has almost a Zelda's Lullaby feel. No wonder Medli passed out. And that one with Makar? He's a fiddler. So. Freaking. Awesome. Brings Saria's Song back in style.
Hopefully some intrepid KZheadr has made a video showing Toon Link conducting concerts with the seven sages of OoT. And the music? The temple return songs. Impa is my favorite of the Sages. No wonder she's in Hyrule Warriors.
@@ThePikachunianRebel Getting a bit of track there, buddy. Also Impa is weak af in Hyrule Warriors dude. When you play as her it’s like the Raiden punching Armstrong gif
@@topfranluis1 at least tell me if Sheik got into Hyrule Warriors. I know Sheik is the identity Adult Zelda assumed in OoT, but still...
The way you get the Master Sword was tragic and pretty dramatic in TOTK and I absolutely love it!!
I mean you're standing on top of a draconified Zelda who's been carrying the sword stucked onto her forehead for more than 10.000+ years so it's no wonder why it's such an emotionally drenching scene.
Tragic? She was always going to return to normal. And if you don't get it in the main story, the game just hands it to you at the end.
@@davidwhidden9337 I see.
@@javiervasquez625 true
@@davidwhidden9337actually you can get it during the main story, you need 2 wheels of stamina to get it
Favorites are probably Skyward Sword and TotK! I love the progress of the goddess sword how it becomes the master sword, and getting it in TotK is definitely one of the coolest!!
i will say pulling the master sword in totk definitely felt the most epic, but there is somberness to it that the other games don't have quite as much. like in most of the other games it feels like a huge accomplishment, a big heroic moment and a symbol that link has taken another step in getting stronger for his journey. in totk, you get that feeling kind of, but more prominently is the feeling of loss. this power cost link one of the most important people -- likely _the most_ important -- in the world to him. and when he pulls the sword there is no swinging or flourishing it, just quiet contemplation before sheathing it. it is just lovely. i really enjoy these videos where you get to see all the scenes back to back and catch different things like this!
I like the pull from BoTW better. Still somber, but with more urgency. Plus the Master Sword having a trial to pull it that if failed results in DEATH is a really good spin on the one sword that I think inspired the Master Sword: Excalibur. And side note: remember Caliburn in Sonic and the Black Knight? I did a bit of research on that name... "Caliburn" is actually another name for Excalibur.
@@ThePikachunianRebel i think botw overall is a more somber game -- there is a sense of loneliness, which i think is the point. it holds a special place in my heart for that reason!
@@lilscooter93 Just like Dragon Quest V for me... I consider it the BoTW of the DS. I'm attempting something I call the Master of Zenithia challenge. 100%, no game over. To give a glimpse at how hard it is, here's part of the challenge: All recruitable characters. The whole Big Book of Monsters filled. Every cursed equip. All knick-knacks complete. Every character at maximum level. Obtaining every Key. And the cherry on top? Taking down the superboss Estark in 15 turns or less.... all while under the threat of getting wiped out with Kamikazee. And yes, I have to recruit a Rockbomb. At least I just got my King Slime... But MAN, is it hard to level up.
Plus, my main character in DQV just had his first death (using Kerplunk does NOT count). And yet he was the only one to survive the fight for the Circle of Fire. Pretty symbolic that the Circle of Fire became his wedding ring.
It wasn’t epic.
As a knight pulling out a sword out of a dragon's forehead in the skies I see this as an absolute win.
Not just a "dragon" but your draconified immortal girlfriend.
@@javiervasquez625 Yeah, that's nuts.
I just realized. I thought it was kinda weird how when the Master Sword was restored, its blade looked newer at the part where it broke and was patchy but I think I get it now. They wanted to make the sword look like it got a brand new, regenerated blade, so any remaining metal on the sword's blade that never broke off WOULD look a little more dull. Its kinda like when the scab on your arm or leg finally falls off and leaves a faded spot on your arm to remember where the wound was, but the rest of your skin that was unharmed looks completely fine. I love how they made the sword actually LOOK like it had a small amount of age to it, but with the brand new blade, you actually have a clean, pure, new, unstained sword
I can actually see why in BoTW your health drains when attempting the pull... The Master Sword is using Link's life force to complete the restoration. I've come to the conclusion that Link gaining the Triforce of Courage has given him sacred power. The weapon he chooses is merely a conduit for this power. Even so, with the Master Sword and its holy power combined with that of Link, gives him the ability to destroy evil. It's also why the Master Sword is usually the weapon that allows access to Sword Beams in the top-down games.
Golden master sword should return, imagine it at full power in Totk and FUSED with an item
So true it was such a waste that we didn't get something like that considering Zelda's use of the _Triforce_ to empower the Master Sword for 10.000+ years only to look exactly as it did back in Breath of the Wild. Nintendo missed a chance for an epic callback to the original Master Sword from A Link to the Past.
we TECHNICALLY have a golden master sword in totk, it's the shiny master sword model that's used in the cutscene where you first pull it out of zelda's skull.
@@ggholdengo True yet you can't keep it in it's golden state during active gameplay (sigh).
Golden master sword was in link between worlds
What if we get a Master Sword that can be combined with items like the Phantom Hourglass and the Wind Waker? Sadly, NoA probably will never give us that pleasure.
I cried with the Last one
14:06 mi favorito sin dudas. Ningun juego después de Twilight Princess me a hecho sentir la misma epicidad y emoción que fue este momento
One of the most iconic swords of all time! 🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️
I like the OOT cause the way they also hide the sword with the camera and the door opening its crazy nice Twilight comes second...the way he pics it up and an aura leaves the ground and the best part its that its the same temple from OOT. my god these details
YES Thank you I was waiting for this upload ever since tears of the kingdom came out. Appreciate it BeardBear! ❤
40:31 Damn, that bird chirping is so spatial I thought it came outta my room window
My favourite is the Oot sowrd pull was so overwhelming
Link to the Past is my favorite game and master sword cut scene.
Pulling the master sword out a dragon's head, that was awesome. Tears of the kingdom, definitely the best.
Yeah, you need enough energy running meter to get the Master Sword after TOTK Ganondorf destroy Link original Master Sword.
Love your videos! Keep them coming! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oot, I always love listening to the Song of Time.
I never grow tired of Link getting the Master Sword, not to mention that I seriously like him in his Green Tunic better. I'm upset he didn't wear it in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Now I got this thought that his Green Tunic is being forgotten.
The legend of Zelda greatness
Excelente. Gracias por el video.
The Master Sword-The Blade barely used in Smash because projectile spam is how you play Link! That, or use bombs only when close to your opponent.
Wind Waker's moment is really cool! I wish they ported it to the switch cuz I wasn't going to waste my money on a wii U that had only one game I wanted to play. Skyward Sword the process to upgrade the sword to its final form was part of the story so the excitement diminished a lot since I was focused on that.
Awesomeness video when can you do sonic and the secret rings 100%? ❤️❤️👍❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
is aways a exciting ando powerful moment i love it so much
Nice
All was awesome
Visually, TP-SS-BotW-AoC-TotK have the best Master Sword design. It's so good looking. Musically, huge fan of TP integrating the Hero's Theme with the Ballad of Twilight. Mechanically, WW and AoC take the cake: Working hard to get a new sword upgrade, pulling it, and then immediately after, being able to straight up mogg on the enemies that used to give you trouble is the essence of a good power fantasy. Both games' surprisingly deep combo system helps.
twilight princess, botw, and totk on top 💪
Cool!😊
A Link to the Past Master Sword will always have a very special place in my heart since that was my first Zelda game and that moment was too epic, making me feel powerful, but I think Skyward Sword is my favourite moment from all games, TOTK was close to replace my favourite moment but no, SS is still the best for me, oh gosh, I love so much The Legend of Zelda saga ❤️
Fi still is in there 😅
I really enjoy the Skyward sword Master Sword and it means a ton of business and no evil will ever live
Legendary Link pull out the Master sword
I love how you see forest animals running around or circling around the Master Sword like it is their beloved guardian of the forest
When you pull out the Master Sword in TOTK, you’ll notice that part of it looks to made of the same material as the Light Dragon’s horns. She’s technically by your side for the rest of the game. 😭
Tears of the Kingdoms master sword pull is the best. And it’s the best portrayed when done in the final battle.
Honestly, the fact that you can still see where the old blade ends and the restored portion of the blade begins in totk is a little irritating to me.
I'm not leaving this life until I get the master sword in every game and I'm doing it, disarm me, good luck please.
Let me ask you this have you ever played Phantom Hourglass cause you haven't put any clips of it in your evolutions?
same with spirit tracks
@@selly7441 No he played that I seen clips of him playing it
I have several evolutions with PH and ST but I can only include them it fits the video topic.
@@BeardBear Ok then
They both dont have master sword
Always loved Ocarina of Time but Twilight Princess 😮💨🤌🏻
Both are top tier 🙏
I can’t wait for the legend of Zelda to get a movie along with Metroid, Kid icarus, StarFox and Earthbound!
EarthBound?! Finally found a true man of Nintendo culture. Though Mother 3 would be even cooler. Seeing Lucas change over time was awesome. Nintendo really knows how to let its characters shine. Plus, look up Locke's Theme from FF 6. Simple song but EXCELLENTLY placed within the story. Having it play during the fight to save Terra in the Narshe mines between battles hit home.
If I can ask! In a link to the past, can all bosses after getting the master sword can be defeated without upgrading the master sword itself? Or does it have to be upgraded for better safe then sorry?
You only need the base Master Sword, but upgrading it to the Tempered Sword and the Golden Sword is going to make the later parts of your adventure a lot easier
46:04 How did the Master Sword glow like that? As far as I can tell, it just starts to shine and make the counterfeit versions of the Champions disappear completely without a trace.
Plot!
@@davidwhidden9337 What do you mean?
@@xavierkittreles2711 The plot demanded that the sword glow like that. Hence the answer of "Plot!"
I seriously have no idea what you just said, but okay.
You're joking, right? How did the Master Sword glow and obliterate Malice, a byproduct of Ganon? Is that the question you're seriously asking here? You may as well ignore the loser wizard man because he's not relevant to the equation, regardless of his summoning them. Those false Champions are very very clearly Malice, and the Master Sword's whole THING is being the Blade of Evil's Bane.
Correction: TOTK was made in 2023, not 2024
1 other minor cutscene that includes the Master Sword pull...Smash Bros Brawl 🗡
What Zelda games has the master sword next?
Twilight princess was always the best especially for me❤
Well I already pull out of the master sword in Ocarina of Time
I seriously like Link in his Green Tunic better. I’m disappointed that he wasn’t wearing it in the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Do you all like Link in his Green Tunic too?
Do any of you like the Sword Pull from Twilight Princess?
What about the master sword in the 1st NES game? 🤔
Twilight princesses my favorite
Thumbnail threw me off lol. Went from 2001 to 1998 and then forward again
bro did you forget totk came out in 2023
43:46 Is Fi really inside the Master Sword itself?
Yes
@@kursedmilk I had no idea that Fi is the Master Sword itself.
@@xavierkittreles2711 she's the conscious part of the master sword but she was only truly active during skyward sword after that she goes into a eternal slumber within the sword.
@@kursedmilk You tell me now?
Is that dragon Zelda?
It is
Deku Tree: What is it you plan to do next princess Zelda: I- Add: T MOBILE 5G NETWORK IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD
Wheres the original?
Age of calamity did it better than breath of the wild
TOTK might just be the weakest version out of all the Swords.
Well gameplay wise totk and botw have the same strength but it should be the strongest sword since it was bathed in the sacred light for a really long Time or wtv
@@MADDIERAHHH It's really not though. It doesn't hit 60 power despite the blue glow against "gloom" enemies. Only damaging phantom ganon.
Nah OOS is. Like it acts like it's just another run-of-the-mill weapon
@@BombmasterGaming OOS?
@@davidwhidden9337 Oracle of Seasons
