Dude I didn`t know you came to Screwattack

I would never have guessed XD. Seriously though that was fantastic and a brilliant video. Well done Bob(?).

I don't know how this guy can keep over-think this much without his head blowing up. ^^

A Link To The Past, meant the story was before the first Zelda. Then I seen some people think there all totally different from one another. Like, its basically the same stuff, but, retold over and over. According to them.


It's actually part 1 and 2 in the same blog. Was intended at first to be 2

As a writer the concept of a story being retold forever makes you feel immortal.

I love these videos. Great job as usual.

and. . . is it said if I actually gain some if not a lot of knowledge fro his videos?

that was actually pretty interesting, but now my head kinda hurts.

VERY good vid, very thought provoking. Also, is that Carl Jung Swedish? The way you pronounced the name sounded very Swedish :P



--The old sign is back--

But that's probably because I'm a writer (sort of)

Glad you mentioned the part about the comics
I use this opportunity to react to one of your earlier videos.
You know, one of the reasons why it is so hard to get kids into comics that aren't made in Japan is the continuity.

Let's face it, American comics are a mess as far as continuity goes.
Their stories drag-on for over entire decades and are all heavily intertwined.
People simply don't know where to start.

Manga (and also European comics, which are however overlooked due to Americas strong hatred for the old continent) on the other hand has a beginning, a end and is self-contained.
Emphasis on self contained, since you don't need to read several other series just for the sake of knowing what the hell is going on.


Personally, I prefer each of the Zelda games being a story on to it's own (except for the direct sequels)
That's what makes them accessible to new gamers.
You can play most of the games without knowlage of the previous titles, and that is a good thing.
Otherwise we would end-up with the same mess as American comics are in at the moment.

If I should compare the competing companies of this generations console market to the icons of the comic industry, it would be:
Nintendo - Stan Lee
Sony - Frank Miller
Microsoft - Rob Liefeld

It always interests me the whole Zelda thing. The never ending debate whether there is a tie in to the games or not. And even with that form saying that they aren't really connected, theres other top guys from Zelda who say they are. So who knows?

Anyway I often suspected there was no tie in myself, largely due to each game essentially refering to there being a story of a hero of time or light or whatever that was passed down prior to the games beginning, which gives the idea to me that there isn't a time line, but just basically the game telling you that the games are about passing on a new story, not really connecting a time line.

This was spelt out even more ofcourse in windwaker where the majority of the story is about indeed that the boy in the green tunic is the stuff of legend and that seemingly the only connecting elements are mostly in name rather than in soul.

Great video though, however it does seem dumbed down from most of the previous ones. What I mean by that is the list of psychology professors seem to mostly be name dropping rather than essential pieces of info like what has been used to back up stories in previous vids. But regardless. I enjoyed it, thats what really counts in the end right?
