Did you know that Zelda BotW has alternate Game Over Screens?
-
I love how Midna is shaking her head like "Really? You died to that thing? Come on" XD
-
7:26 Link just sitting in a burning train that's about to blow up: "This is Fine"
-
7:03 and the award for most dramatic game over goes to....!
-
It's the video who ganon would look for
-
14:10 that combo tho
-
Zelda 1: oh no! You died! )~: Zelda 2: I DIED AND IM TAKING YOU WITH ME flashes that could kill an epileptic
-
There's something about Link's ship sinking in Phatom Hourglass that gives me some crazy chills. Damn Nintendo....
-
Another title can be "Link suffering for 14 minutes"
-
Most of the games: “Oh no, you died!☹️Want to respawn?” Twilight Princess: “You failed. The entire world is doomed and everyone is going to die because of you.” Zelda 2: 👹
-
6:06 this scared me as a little kid
-
Fun Fact: the laugh in the game over screen for Zelda 2 The Adventure of Link was also used in Punch Out!! (NES) when you face Soda Poplinski
-
0:30 when you come home from a long day at School/Work.
-
Poor Link! He died so many times today ... Hope he will be alright. Great Video!
-
I remember the Zelda II one used to scare me when I was a kid
-
Botw and TP Links are the most dramatic 😂
-
fun fact: in BOTW, during the stealth mission of the yiga clan hideout, there is a brief dialogue before the game over screens appears.
-
Hasn't anyone ever done a Game Over screen in Twilight Princess when Wolf Link has to carry Midna after her exposure to Lanayru's light? If so, what happens?
-
1:20 at the funeral: gone, reduced to atoms....(flips to the next page)....by chickens."
-
I like how the zelda 2 one just says “return of Gannon” And literslly nothing else
