Did anybody else cry at the end of this game?
The story wraps up so nicely, and the music is top-notch. I always tear up after Link puts the master sword back, and walks out of the temple. Its not because the scene is really all that amazing. Its because of the music. I always lose it when the church bells come in.

The only retro game I cried at the end of was Army Dog: The Videogame on the Saturn. In the end credits scene when Army Dog finally gets home and Master asks "who's a good boy?" and A.D. turns to look at the screen and say "not I. Good boys don't survive war" right before murdering and raping Master before committing suicide was emotional brutality.

I cried the last time I beat Starfox 64 but my dad had died recently and playing the game reminded me of growing up and the times we spent together, so I think that was a big part of it. It's a pretty solid ending though. Nintendo was really killing it during the 5th gen, especially with their first party software.

It was a very satisfying conclusion. And it helps to know that Majora's Mask takes place in another world, so nothing in it can undo saving Hyrule. There's nothing worse than a sequel that starts you off with "You saved the world!...just kidding everything is even more fucked now lol"

THis. What the fuck? I also thought that Zelda was going to give you some ass at the end. You have to wade through all these evil ass dungeons, being transproted 7 years in time, and at the end Zelda doesn't even let you cop a feel, have a kiss?

Fuck that shit. You go back in time, basically nullifying all your achievements so you can re-do them again in the future (wrap your head around that) and have a childhood, but oh fuck, since you're still going to have to fight Ganon, you might as well train for that day.

So instead you walk off into the Lost Woods, have a psychedelic fever dream while dying and becoming a Stalfos in search of Navi, who fucked off for no reason at all.

Here lies Link: He never scored.

With the successive releases the OoT ending only gradually became worse the more I think about it.

I look at it a different way. You could make the argument that Link and Zelda have more of a brother-sister relationship than anything. I mean, yeah, they were united in their desire to save Hyrule from Ganon, but if you actually think about it, they only met each other a few times over the course of the entire game, it doesn't make sense that she would suddenly say "here, jump in pussy". If anything, Link was just waiting to get back to childhood so he could grow up and pump babies in Saria, who was his real love all along. I mean, not only did they grow up together, but they canonically kept a constant line of communication throughout the entire game, unlike Zelda who was just some bitch that showed up a few times.

>>4291646
How not? I haven't read Hyrule Historia in quite a while but the way I remember it, the timeline splits at the end of OoT: In one world, you win against Ganon and all is well. In the other timeline, you get sent back by Zelda to the past, Navi fucks off, you try to find her in the Lost Woods, have the psychedelic dream of Termina, die, and appear as a Stalfos to teach Link in Twilight Princess. Sounds pretty shitty if you ask me.

>>4291648
Since Saria will effectively always stay a child, romance between them is ultimately impossible. I thought that was pretty well established in the scene where Link fucks off and she hands him the Ocarina, knowing that what she wants is not going to happen. Hyrulian on Hyrulian action seems much more likely.

Of course it's ridiculous to assume that just because you saved a woman (and her kingdom) that she instantly wants to fuck you. But Zelda is like a fairytale - the gallant knight saves the princess, they fall in love and live happily ever after. I always feel like that is heavily implied. And Zelda does seem to care for Link a lot. That's also established in the interactions you have with her Sheik form.

I can understand that she sends him back to experience his childhood, but he is either doomed never to fully experience it because history will repeat itself, or doomed to die as a virgin teen in the Lost Woods searching Navi. It's just emotionally unsatisfying and tragic. I'm not saying it's badly written - just kinda sad and frustrating.

Yeah no I don't really see the point, I kind of just said that. It sounds like you're just upset because the game didn't end on a highly generic "save the world, get the pussy" note. It's actually a lot deeper and more meaningful as a result, and I'm glad it ended how it did. Link is literally a time-traveling warrior who has been selected by fate to fight a never-ending battle against a demon. Zelda rewarded him with something better than money or a house: the opportunity to have an actual childhood and make up for the 7 years he lost.

You mean the part before he saved the world and altered the entire course of history? Besides, she left the Kokiri forest when she became a sage anyway. The kokiri don't physically age past their youth but that doesn't mean they are actually children. The future changed, who knows what could have happen.
>I can understand that she sends him back to experience his childhood, but he is either doomed never to fully experience it because history will repeat itself, or doomed to die as a virgin teen in the Lost Woods searching Navi.
But he's not. The whole point of sending him back to childhood was that he altered history, and wouldn't have to live out any of the shit he had already been through. Moreover, she had no way of knowing that MM would have happened, and nobody can confirm what the fuck MM even is anyway, just that it's some kind of "dream" or "alternate universe".

Zelda sent Link back to his childhood and then met him again at the end of the game. So not only did she want to give him some pussy, she wanted to be able to grow up with him and not be deprived of 7 years together. Seemed pretty heavily implied to me.

Yeah but she doesn't give you your childhood back to be nice. She says (IIRC) that she does it because there's still things you have to do (IE: save the world again, lose your fairy, fall down a hole, etc.) plus it just means you have to fight Gannon again in that life so it's just a middle finger. Should've gotten something as a reward besides, "you saved the world, do it again"

I don't see where you're getting this from. Where was it ever implied that you had to fight Gannon again or do anything other than live a normal, simple life? That was literally the point of her sending you back to begin with.

Retards like you are what's wrong with the world. Show any modicum of personality, emotion or soul and you're a "child" or a "faggot".

First of all, let's go ahead and get this outta the way : Eiji Aonuma is a fucking retard and I utterly reject his timeline nonsense (I picked up a copy of Hyrule Historia simply to have as memorabilia, not because I agreed with his shitty highly dubious tri-part timeline). Here's what I believe happened:

>OOT ends
>two timelines now exist: adult and child
>you are sent back to child
>adult continues on to Wind Waker and the Great Flood
>child Link gets back, does things differently (wait and gather proof instead of trying to go toe-to-toe with an evil thiefmage you dolts!), and ends up getting Ganondorf tried and executed in Arbiter's Grounds by the Gerudo themselves
>it's a disaster, end up with one sage dead and have to perform unreliable little-understood ritual and send his ass Nayru-knows-where
>they decide to to say "fuck it! good 'nuff!" and get on with whatever sages do when they're not having to deal with bullshit from a pig demon
>Link tries to settle in to his previous life, but it doesn't fucking work because he remembers EVERYTHING
>longs for Navi, who also retains every moment of their adventure
>sets off to find the annoying little chatterbitch (seriously screw you, Hero of Time, rather have the damn owl than that annoying microcunt)
>SKULLKID OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE
>Majora's Mask occurs
>fight preordained doomsday scenario to a draw, slay eldritch horror

Okay first off, "stuff to do" could literally mean anything and given that she's sending you back with the purpose of re-living your childhood, it's pretty clear that she means "you still have a life to live". Also, I still don't understand where you're getting the idea that you have to fight Gannon again -- just think about what you're saying here. You say the world and kill Gannon, so now she sends you back to do it again for no reason? What exactly would be the point of this? That's retarded. She's sending you back so that you can both inform the king of Gannon's plan BEFORE he has the chance to take over, thus saving the lives of all the people Gannon killed and getting to live her life with you. Why do you think they meet in the same garden at the end of the game where you met her the first time? What you're saying just doesn't make sense and is out of line with everything that actually happened in the game.

You're trying really hard to force this shitty false narrative all because you're upset about not getting some virtual pussy my dude. As >>4291705 just explained, it's pretty clear from TP's events that Ganon gets his shit pushed by the sages and the king DOES indeed believe him. Also, Zelda has no proof of what happened in the beginning of the game so if she said anything to her father he would likely not believe her. By the end of the game, her and Link have both seen his plans unfold and could very likely say "Hey uh, you might want to check out X, Y and Z that Gannon's doing". For fuck's sake, Link ends up going through MM after OoT anyway, and he's a little older in MM, so your argument is dead in the water. If you dislike the way it was written and would have preferred a more fleshed-out ending, fair enough, but you're just being retarded and pretending that the ending was something that it wasn't. Zelda sent Link back in time, Gannon got raped, everyone moved on.

As someone that studies Jungian psychology I think Ocarina of Time is one of the better exmplifiers of archetypal imagery. In particular is the role of Zelda.

If anyone knows what the Anima is, that's preciously what Zelda is. If you consider how the game unfolds from her perspective she has basically always been involved with Link, who is the self insert for the player's Ego, working in unseen ways and almost never encountering him directly. The point where she gives him the Light is in particularly very indictive of the Anima.

I can elborate if anyone would want.

Fun fact. The anima has 4 stages of development. It's highest stage is named after the Greek word for wisdom.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Ocarina of Time. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical time travel rules most of the jokes will go over a typical player's head. There’s also Link’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Ocarina of Time truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Link’s existential catchphrase “HYA HYA HYA,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Aonuma’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Legend of Zelda tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

There's nothing in HH to indicate that Link literally died and became a Stalfos. It's very possible that his spirit simply takes the form of a Stalfos in order to train TP Link, or that he really did become a Stalfos but it happened after he was an aged adult who already lived a long life with Malon or whoever the fuck.

Wrong. This is what you "think" happens, there is no proof of it. The only pieces of evidence you have to back up this claim are Majora's Mask and the fact that "the hero of time" (which could be any fucking incarnation of Link) appears in Twilight Princess. As for Majora's Mask, it is never explicitly stated what exactly is going on. Is it a dream? Is it a nightmare? Is Link dead? Nobody knows. All we actually know is that at the end of OoT, Link goes back to his childhood and meets Zelda again -- the end.
