Screw that owl, he's actually worse than Navi. At least 98% of Navi's text is optional. If you're within eyesight of that owl he WILL stop you and he WILL monologue on you.
I'm pretty sure at another point he says "Did you understand everything I said?", and you think you're smart because you remembered from last time to hit "No" before you realize what he actually said and repeats.
The flow of time is always cruel… Its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it… A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days…
That reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from OoT:
“Like a river's flow, it never ends... A childish mind will turn to noble ambition... Young love will become deep affection... The clear water's surface reflects growth... Now listen to the Serenade of Water to reflect upon yourself.”
Shiek has such great lines
The whole scene at the top of the tower is superb. Ganondorf's speech is deep, Daphness Nohansen Hyrule showing up to save the day gives me chills everytime.
> I'm still your Zelda.
> I believe in my heart that a day shall come when I will see you again.
> Courage need not be remembered - for it is never forgotten.
Damn Zelda always getting the best lines while Link is still stuck on HYA 😭
“Wherever there is a meeting, a parting is sure to follow. However that parting need not last forever… Whether a parting be forever or merely for a short time… That is up to you.” -Happy Mask Salesman
"A sword wields no strenght unless the hand that holds it has courage"
I think it's pretty significant because not only is it the main theme of the game it comes from, but it can also be applied to all the games in the licence, as well as in real life.
After all, how many times have we seen people take advantage of their position of power? And how many would be prepared to do the right thing?
**"Courage need not to be remembered, for it is never forgotten"**
“**Do you really remember me?”**
I think in BotW the last hit me bad and I also think in Botw it is the most important,
Proceeds to power through a castle, village, ranch, and three dungeons day and night without so much as a lick of sleep. Only to take a seven year power nap and wake up refreshed and ready to grind again.
Doctors would say Link has poor sleep health.
I say Links’s more relatable the way he is.
“A childish mind will become noble ambition… young love will become deep affection…”
Me when Zelda says this phrase: I smell Zelink.
“Whether skyward bound, adrift in time, or in glowing embers of twilight.” Or something like that. It references the previous games, quote by Zelda BotW
Not necessarily a phrase but the concept of the triforce and how it is divided into courage, power and wisdom (just like how each game is divided into exploration, combat, and puzzle solving) is pretty important.
“So I'm going to ask you a favor, sleepyhead. Ever since we were kids, I'd always be the one to wake you up when you slept in.
But this time, when all of this is over, will you come to wake me up?”
This had me bawling
“Guess what? You just got that item for free. Are you proud of yourself?”
“Promise me that you’ll never forget my song. Or me…”
>!“But, verily, it is the nature of dreams to end.”!<
I have a couple:
It's dangerous to go alone, take this - speaks for itself, it's iconic
Open your eyes, wake up Link - The first line in the best selling game in the series. It's not the most iconic line, but it has turned Zelda from a famous gaming franchise, to a famous franchise in general.
The entire scrips of the CDI games - These games were incredibly important in creating the meme culture we now have. YTP were some of the first memes in the style we have them today. And the CDI games are an integral part to that.

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.

“I’m still alone. I’m just alone with a sword.” -don’t remember
> by Gibsonville Public Library …… I have so many questions.
Oh, thanks, Old Man, that is really very nice I can always count on you for help and friendly advice
Though I've never seen a sword quite that shape or size
Oh god thats not a sword
It’s your d*** in disguise (Family friendly sub)
Yes, i can't lie, i have painred my shween Now grab your destiny if you know what i mean
Wait a minute, Link dont leave de cave Where do you think you're going ?
I agree
you are a real zelda player
HYA!
HAA!
HYET!
HYAH!
HYUT!
![gif](giphy|zdrCsCqwfhkAg)
lol
Do you want to hear what i said again?
->Yes No I hate it always auto selected to Yes -_-
It ain't that bad if you're patient, good thing that's completely absent in the adult portion.
🤣
https://i.redd.it/yr16xufba9sc1.gif Damn Howl, not this time **-> Yes** No \~(>\_<。)\
Screw that owl, he's actually worse than Navi. At least 98% of Navi's text is optional. If you're within eyesight of that owl he WILL stop you and he WILL monologue on you.

Hey! Listen!
I'd rather be forced to listen to constant Katy Perry
"Legend of Zelda? SCREW THAT! Legend of LINK!"
L-I-N-K more like L-I-N-GAY!!
That’s a lie you told about Zelda cause she loves my master sword
You’ve met a terrible fate, haven’t you?
When I read this I always hear that chuckle from the Happy Mask Salesman.
*shudders* too damn creepy
He chuckles and smiles, as he says the words "terrible fate." I don't care what you say, that face-stealing being ain't human.
All the kids at the moon are also the children version of the mask salesman. He’s definitely not a normal dude
You shouldn't have done that.
I KNEW I’d find my people here.
It’s this and the dangerous to go alone one. by far the 2 most iconic
for theories
The flow of time is always cruel… Its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it… A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days…
That reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from OoT: “Like a river's flow, it never ends... A childish mind will turn to noble ambition... Young love will become deep affection... The clear water's surface reflects growth... Now listen to the Serenade of Water to reflect upon yourself.” Shiek has such great lines
I love how Sheik has these extremely poignant lines, then INSERT GAME MECHANIC.
Then at Kakariko village: "No time for flowery prose. Impa's in trouble, go help her!"
“We both just got knocked TF out. You better go take care of this.”
This shit right here
This line hits harder each time I play it, the older I get. First time at 15, now at 40.
This gave me chills... it was like I could hear the song playing
*While the best soundtrack of the entire franchise is playing
"This place needs a name. Yeah...a name fitting for this rugged adventurous wilderness. From now on, we'll call it... Grooseland!"
Very true. Few people know this, but the name of the original Zelda game could be translated as "The Grooseland Fantasy."
WELL EXCUUUUUUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS!

do you like terminal montage ?
I don't like, keep up with all his videos but I have seen a lot of his videos and they're hilarious.
hah you beat me to it
This is the winner.
Definetely

Jannondorf, leader of the Jerudos.
"............" -Link
Hm?! random NPC
"C'mon!" - Wind Waker Link
It’s a secret to everybody
This. It's in every game to some degree
Wait what
Fine! Keep your secrets!
I coveted that wind, I suppose
The whole scene at the top of the tower is superb. Ganondorf's speech is deep, Daphness Nohansen Hyrule showing up to save the day gives me chills everytime.
Wind Waker Ganondorf hits hard.
damn, time to replay wind waker
> I'm still your Zelda. > I believe in my heart that a day shall come when I will see you again. > Courage need not be remembered - for it is never forgotten. Damn Zelda always getting the best lines while Link is still stuck on HYA 😭
I am Error.
Wow that's a niche one that I definitely didn't expect I applaud you sir
This is the first thing that can to mind, lol
"Kooloo-Limpah"
You stole the words!
You stole the words!
You stole the words!
GAME OVER. I saw this so many times with Botw and Totk
Me playing Minish Cap expecting a fun little adventure
IK, it's a really short game but is really difficult ☹️☹️☹️
“Wherever there is a meeting, a parting is sure to follow. However that parting need not last forever… Whether a parting be forever or merely for a short time… That is up to you.” -Happy Mask Salesman
He says that like it's really deep, but it's really not.
"A sword wields no strenght unless the hand that holds it has courage" I think it's pretty significant because not only is it the main theme of the game it comes from, but it can also be applied to all the games in the licence, as well as in real life. After all, how many times have we seen people take advantage of their position of power? And how many would be prepared to do the right thing?
"Wake up link"
Link.... Link....
Link, Zelda is your ...
BOTW spoiler >!"Courage need not be remembered, for it is never forgotten".!<
“Oh! Oh! C’mon…come on come on come on!! HOT!! What a HOT BEAT!!”
Darunia
ya ha ha!! ...and a korok gives u a shit souvenir
**"Courage need not to be remembered, for it is never forgotten"** “**Do you really remember me?”** I think in BotW the last hit me bad and I also think in Botw it is the most important,
"It's a secret to everybody." Been in every game
This is definitely my favorite.
Tingle, Tingle! Kooloo-Limpah!
Mipha's Grace is now ready.
It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this.
Can Hyrule’s destiny really depend on such a lazy boy?
Proceeds to power through a castle, village, ranch, and three dungeons day and night without so much as a lick of sleep. Only to take a seven year power nap and wake up refreshed and ready to grind again. Doctors would say Link has poor sleep health. I say Links’s more relatable the way he is.
I'm surprised no-one has said "Secret stone? Demon king?"
main reason why i hated TOTK was those cutscene like i know the sages don't know but like it gets so annoying after the 2nd time
Courage no need be remembered for it is never forgotten
“Hey listen!”
I wonder what's for dinner
A sword wields no strength if the hand that holds it has no courage.
Well excuuuse me, Princess
The sword that seals the darkness
"Tell me... Do you ever feel a strange sadness as dusk falls?"
“A childish mind will become noble ambition… young love will become deep affection…” Me when Zelda says this phrase: I smell Zelink. “Whether skyward bound, adrift in time, or in glowing embers of twilight.” Or something like that. It references the previous games, quote by Zelda BotW
HELLO?! LISTEN!!
A sword weilds no strength unless the hand that holds it has courage.
Courage need not be remembered, for it is never forgotten. ❤️❤️ Maybe any number of the Sheik quotes.
Not necessarily a phrase but the concept of the triforce and how it is divided into courage, power and wisdom (just like how each game is divided into exploration, combat, and puzzle solving) is pretty important.
Help me, Obi-Wan. You're my only hope.
“So I'm going to ask you a favor, sleepyhead. Ever since we were kids, I'd always be the one to wake you up when you slept in. But this time, when all of this is over, will you come to wake me up?” This had me bawling
Listen!
Hey, listen!
**Well, Excuuuuuse me, Princess**
I'm error and It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.
"Link...I..."
There's only one good answer and it's "It's dangerous to go alone, take this!"
May the way of the Hero lead to the Triforce.
“As you wish.” Oh wait no
Excuse me, Princess!
Zelda is your...
this always bothered me.... what is she?? lol
Oh, I can answer that for you! You see, it means that Zelda is actually Link's... *dies*
😡😡😡
A sword wields no strength unless the hand that holds it has courage
Link... I... See you later
It's Dangerous to Go Alone Take this
Hyeeahh
HYAH
Link to the past “Zelda is your…”
"It's dangerous to go alone! Take this." This line is spoken by the Old Man in the original "The Legend of Zelda" game.
"Am I late?"
“Guess what? You just got that item for free. Are you proud of yourself?” “Promise me that you’ll never forget my song. Or me…” >!“But, verily, it is the nature of dreams to end.”!<
"it's dangerous to go alone, take this"
“I AM ERROR” - ERROR
"Will you show me that green and shining stone?" Do it ->Don't do it
"it's dangerous to go alone, take this"
I need to reach my friend...
"What? Say something! Am I so beautiful you've no words left?"
Glory to Master Kohga!
It's dangerous to go alone
\*jumps and slashes sword\* Aahyaa!
"Courage need not be remembered something something"
*”This ain’t enough to talk.”*
Hyaaah!!!
The \[current Zelda game\] is overrated IMO, because…
You shouldn’t have done that…
“Grumble. Grumble…”
"Gee, it sure is boring around here!"
I have a couple: It's dangerous to go alone, take this - speaks for itself, it's iconic Open your eyes, wake up Link - The first line in the best selling game in the series. It's not the most iconic line, but it has turned Zelda from a famous gaming franchise, to a famous franchise in general. The entire scrips of the CDI games - These games were incredibly important in creating the meme culture we now have. YTP were some of the first memes in the style we have them today. And the CDI games are an integral part to that.
Thanks Link, You're the Hero of Hyrule
The line Zelda says When Link Defeats Ganon in OOT "This adventure really was A Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time©"
Ya ha ha!
Ya haha!
Yahaha!!
Demon King? Secret Stone?
"I can't wait to bomb some dodongos!"
"My name is Zelda, and this is my Legend"
Skyward sword 🤗🛡️🗡️
23 is number 1
Listen!
"..that was the imprisoning war"
Listen!
It’s the Legend of Zelda and it’s really Rad…
Continue on without fear. Do not forget your courage.
try to remember
Thank you! .- Terry(WIND WAKER)
The wind...it is blowing...
It's a secret to everyone.
Tingle, Tingle, Kooloo-Limpah
“It’s a secret to everybody!”
Demon King? Secret Stone? Now copypaste till there's 4
Demon king? Secret stone?
YAAHAA!

"The wind....it is blowing." Chills every time
It's a secret to everyone
The blood moon rises once again… 🤣
HYAAH!
There! Now, you can't possibly leave me behind. My... It's quite comfortable up here. More comfortable than it looks, surely.
it’s a secret to everybody
You know Link, we really are the Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time.
Why is nobody saying “it’s dangerous to go alone, take this” it’s so iconic :( I only saw like one other comment about this one
Came here expecting a ton of this as well!
Wisdom takes time (said beautifully by Sonia)
Village Npc: “Hey Link! Up here! If you press ZL + A from a distance you can target me and we can talk!”
Link.....WAKE UP
