"After all we've seen, do we not share the same wish?" *link touches triforce* *giant sandwich appears*

It doesn’t have the huge production values and cinematic presentation of something like Skyward Sword or Breath of the Wild, but the ending to this game still remains my favorite. That moment when Hilda realizes that Link and Zelda not only forgave her and even understood her, but that they selflessly used their wish to give Hilda and her kingdom another chance.....just wow.

It's not a zelda game till you have to play deadly volley ball with a boss

Maybe I’m reading too deeply into this. But I appreciate how Link and Zelda’s wish was for Lorule to have its triforce again, instead just wishing for Lorule to be saved. They placed the responsibility of Lorule’s fate back into Hilda and Ravio’s hands instead of their own. Giving someone the means and tools to fix their own problems is far better for them, than just doing it yourself.

When princess hilda cries at the end, you can tell the poor thing was so happy but emotionally exhausted. I wouldn’t blame her if she went on vacation after.

It's a credit to the animators how the subtle change in Hilda's face really drives home how overcome with emotion she is when her Triforce comes back.

"Hey, Triforce. Can you make a copy of yourself, turn it upside down, and send it to Lorule?" _"Lorule...the place where they blew up their Triforce? You want to bring my cousin Frank back to life?!"_ "...Yes. Please resurrect your...cousin Frank Triforce...and put him back in Lorule." _"Absolutely. You two just made my aeon! Frank makes the best barbecue in the multiverse."_

Can we agree this link is one of the best links to exist? He didn't save 1 kingdom but 2, he literally saved 2 kingdoms.

It might be just me but, after many, many years of playing Zelda games, there's something really special about seeing the complete triforce, being able to get close to it and a "Touch" option appearing.

The ending for this game was so good! I was so happy when Link restored Lorule's Triforce.

Still my favorite ending to any Zelda game. I actually teared up when Hilda realizes what is happening. Would absolutely love another game in Lorule, but I know it probably won’t ever happen...

18:50 Yep, still got tears in my eyes. One of my favorite Zelda moments period.

Princess Hilda, having sent Princess Zelda and Link back to Hyrule, turned to leave the Sacred Realm as the last bit of light diminished from the crack in the slate, and the entire world darkened, back to how it was before Hyrule's Triforce came through the portal. Her business in the Sacred Realm was finished, and there was nothing left to be done - there was nothing left that _could_ be done. Suddenly, the ground started to heave. The princess stumbled around, struggling to keep her balance, as fear and despair washed over her. Thoughts whizzed past her at a million miles per hour. 'This is the end of Lorule.' 'The world is finally crumbling away.' 'All hope is lost.' She started to cry, grieving for her people and for her land as she waited for the end. Suddenly, the crack in the slate began to glow again, and the tremors grew more rapid, and fearful confusion joined all of the other emotions Hilda was experiencing… and then, before she could even begin to process what was happening, the slate exploded! She shielded herself with her arms as debris flew in every direction, and at once, the tremors ceased. Now, the princess was utterly lost, and had no idea what was happening, and fearful of what might happen, and in total shock. Slowly and cautiously, she looked up from behind her trembling arms, and waited… Something started materializing from nothing, right in front of her very eyes. In a few seconds, she realized it was the Triforce. She wondered if she was dreaming, if this was just her mind playing tricks on her, and was still in shock… 'is this real? Is this really the Triforce I am seeing?' She heard Ravio gasp next to her, and she looked at him, and he was looking at the Triforce, too. She looked back at the Triforce, and realized the Triforce - Lorule's Triforce - really was floating in front of her. All at once, all of her despair, confusion, shock, fear, anger, regret… all of it turned to feelings of joy, gratitude, relief, and the realization that she was saved, and Lorule was saved, and she saw light in the world, her world, for the first time, and she broke down, crying harder than she had ever cried in her life, crying tears of joy. "Thank you, Princess Zelda… Oh, thank you…" Hilda exclaimed. "And to you as well, Hero of Hyrule… Thank you, Link!"

16:27 always makes me sad. The feeling of "yeah they did the right thing but they're still screwed."

Zelda: yet, after all that we've seen, do we not share the same wish? Link: .... * Zelda CD-i games never existed *

The part where Link and Zelda restore the Lorulean Triforce always gives me the chills.

The way Hilda weeps from sheer joy and relief at the sight of her triforce coming back always brings tears to my eyes

Even though many people won’t consider this the best game in the franchise, in my opinion this as one of best endings, just the way it makes you sad and happy at the same time even with the graphics of the 3DS is amazing

When I started a new file on this game more recently, I apparently forgot just how _good_ the game looks, to the point I was taken aback by it. Not "by 3ds standards" but just in general. Like _damn._ And this ending is easily one of the best. And i always loved how when Zelda and Link touch the triforce, they touch with not only their corresponding triforce piece, but with the hands in which their triforce piece appears on: Zelda's triforce of Wisdom on her right hand, Link's triforce of courage on his left hand.

I hope we get a game that says "the legend of Hilda"

The ending, the surprise for Hilda, is just so simple yet so touching, so heartening. Very well fucking done, Nintenbro.

that explains the vacant house in lorule....

Oh god this game so underrated

Oh, so HE get's to talk?

Yuga + Ravio = Yugio

7:13 I love this moment so much the rendition of Zelda’s lullaby is so beautiful and makes it so epic they really didn’t need to go that hard for getting the light arrows but I’m glad they did

I hope this will be one of the games to get ported to switch.

Still one of my favorite endings to any Zelda game also Shows how powerful the Triforce is that it can make another Triforce could they just wish for another one in Hyrule and there’s just two Triforces now lol

Really liked this video, you actually made the fight look like true fight/ challenge. Idk was just more entertaining than watching someone do the fight without getting hit.

O.o Seriously, the difference in the ending is that in the normal, some cute animals surround the master sword, and in hero mode the sages accompany Link? Not really worth the trouble of going through hero mode lol

I just LOVE this ending. And I also love Ravio and Hilda. Not only they are in completely different colour scheme but also their characteristics.

Poor Hilda, I wanted to cry when the triforce of her world was restored, I'm playing the game but have not checked or near the end have to get the pictures yet grrr

So if you can use a Triforce to make a Triforce... INFINITE TRIFORCES!

We all had the same thought when we saw that Triforce. We did share the same wish., Brilliant ending.

This ending always makes me cry!

just noticed that Ravio and Hilda were painted into the mural at the end.

Almost all the Zelda games are good, but this is the first one that made me CRY. I cry EVERY TIME I see this ending.

I love the little scene added at the end with link going with all others sages and zelda, that's nothing big but so cool.

The music in this game is top level. It is on par with the 3D Zelda games, it's beyond great.

I'm just curious how many people, like me, knew the game would end this way the second they heard Lorule destroyed their own Triforce.

6:04 : I love the Triforce icon to indicate that Yuganon has both Triforce of Power and Wisdom.

Oh yeah! Link brought that Yuga clown to his knees multiple times! At 10:12, Yuga was like "No!!! How can I lose to a worm like you?!? NOOOOOO!!!" In my view, it's like the mighty has fallen. And Yuga should have done his history homework from A Link to the Past to know more about the Master Sword and Link's Spirit of the Hero, but he didn't, which made Yuga a real idiot. This is what Yuga gets for being arrogant and calling Link a worm! Go Link!!!

I’ve always felt like the triforce itself are the goddesses of Hyrule...so hear me out. In ocarina of time when the great deku tree describes how the world was made, he says the goddesses ascended to the heavens and left the triforce in the sacred realm. But you don’t really see them leave in the cutscene...they combine together, vanish, and where they vanished the triforce appears. What if they never really left, but became the triforce itself? It would explain how it has so much power because the triforce IS the golden goddesses in a different form. As for lorule, when they destroyed their triforce it was equivalent to destroying their gods. Makes sense how their world ended up the way it is if the triforce isn’t just a magic relic but some sort of physical manifestation of their own gods.

the mid fight cutscene to give you the bow of light is insane. You get this wonderful Zelda's lullaby theme with the driving beat of the main boss theme, which then morphs to a heroic version when you zoom out to Link. It is one of my favorite music moments in the entire game.

This ending still makes me cry

Zelda: "Why don't you make the wish Link? We both know we want the same thing." Link: "Right!" **holds out hand** **bzzzzt** *"We interrupt this broadcast for an important announcement"* Sakurai: "I am very pleased to announce that Shrek and his swamp will be added as DLC in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a new fighter and stage respectively." Zelda: -_-

13:01 the feels and this whole scene is so great and emotional.

endings can't get much better than this

Hope Hilda will be in Super Smash Bros WiiU, I would love to see what that staff could do in her fight set.

6:20 : That organ jingle is so similar to the intro jingle of Zelda 1 Ganon battle.

I will maintain that this is the best ending to a Zelda game ever until another game comes along to make it not so(good luck). It was such a lovely character moment for Hilda to realize she can't save her Kingdom by dooming another, and her using the last of the bracelets magic to send Link and Zelda home meaning even if someone wanted to they couldn't return to Hyrule to try and take their Triforce and Lorule's sacred realm even losing the last of it's glow as we fade out. And in just about any other Zelda game that would have been the end with Lorule's ultimate fate not being 100% certain, but we rejoin the game with Link and Zelda waking up in Hyrule's sacred realm where they find the Triforce is already there and fully assembled, then we even have Zelda drop the line "Yet, after all we've seen, do we not share the same wish?" and you think that they're making Lorule's fate less ambiguous. *BUT THEN* we actually cut back to Hilda and Ravio who flinch when the tremors start thinking this is finally the end, only for Hilda's face to betray all of the joy, gratitude, and relief she is nearly floored by as she watches Lorule's Triforce reform right in front of her. You guys know full well most other Zelda games would have left Lorule's fate completely ambiguous so the fact that they were so upfront about it is mind blowing.

First time seeing any real footage from the game, and it really does look like the most exciting Zelda since Majora's Mask!

This is definitely among my favorites for Zelda endings, and might just be my favorite. It's not connected to a 3D Zelda game, which hurts its popularity, but I love it. It also ruined a fanfiction of mine, where Hyrule chose to give up on the blessings of God's, and embrace their own future, on their own terms, without the constant threat of Ganon. Then we find out the world CAN'T survive, and well... Still, a fun game, and a wonderful ending. A great addition/remake to LttP; my favorite Zelda game.

12:48 Ravio goes to talk sense into princess hilda. Those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Lorule's princess nearly made that same mistake in her desperation to save her land.

19:21 Me and my sister when we unwrapped our first Wii

I just finished this tonight. was fun

Nicely done. Thanks for sharing the Hero mode ending for those who just want to see the small easter egg :)

Finally. Finally a playthrough of a game, Zelda no less, where the KZfaqr actually gets damage done to themselves in the game and not just _oh look at me I’m not taking any damage hur hur._ Nonetheless, well done! I enjoyed watching this!

Labryanna, Holodrum, Lorule, Ambrosia, Twilight Realm, Dark world, Silent Realm. It's a shame they only appear once depending on the game.

This ending is so damn satisfying.

I like that, even though their Triforce was destroyed, and they may not have shown their traits at first, in the end, Yuga still had the Power to conquer Lorule and Hyrule, Hilda still had the Wisdom to know that, in the end, it would not be the right choice to destroy Hyrule, and Ravio still had the Courage to return to Lorule and set right the things he knew were wrong

Awwww poor Hilda, when she cry adter the triforce is restored. It makes me cry.

my reaction when i first saw rovio was a lorian when i beat the game:HOLY SHIZ,THE RABBIT RABIES-CARRYING HOBO IS A MAN!!!!1

She did feel emotional at the end but the boy is right chaos happened in their time and it would do the same to hyrule at least he is trying to make sense even though he did run off but he had the courage to fight his fears of betrayal and make his princesses understand the reason.

24:00 the journey ends, and the master sword was returned to the pedestal

The moment the Lorule Triforce appears... I was mimicking Hilda. I cried tears of joy! and screamed "no f**king way!" That was a sublime ending, for a game that was very funny and enjoyable to play, but not so much on the "legendary" aspect. Well, that ending changed everything. Every wish to the Trifoce in the Zelda franchise has always been so major. I am secretly dying to have it happen at the end of BotW2 now, it needs to happen!

Just beat this game for the first time today, and this is by far my favourite ending in any Zelda game.

I want them to make a squeal spin off to this, and have Ravio as the main, and have him redeem himself to become the hero of Lorule

I'm ugly crying, this game is so good.

si lo piensan bien, a lo largo de toda la historia de hyrule, solo se ha usado la trufuerza tres veces, una para acabar con el heraldo de la muerte en skyward sword, la segunda para inundar por completo a hyrule en the wind waker, y la tercera en este juego para restaurar la trifuerza de lorule

I think a butcher knife would have been more effective against pig Ganon.

I do have to wonder what virtues Lorule’s Triforce represented? If I had to guess, I’d say Cowardice, Weakness and Ignorance?

Legit best ending I've seen *YET*

8:20 I'm like what!!! I should have done that

Awesome Video, Boss, And Game!

Has anyone noticed that you can evade Yuga's attacks by running around the perimeter of this room (starting on the bottom right) ? It's gets quite easy to beat him then.

I dunno about you, I wish the final boss was called Yuganon, Yuga - Ganon - Ga, Yu-Ga-Non, Yuganon, this stuff writes itself people. But nope, it’s just called Yuga Ganon

I suspected Ravio to be something of a legend or a sage of some sort. Best ending from a Zelda thus far for me.

ravio and link are opposites, Ravio speaks while Link is mute :)

this is the best Zelda game ending.

19:50-20:05 i shed tears. as it took me back ALTTP back in 1992.

I hope lorule may come back in series after BOTW. Something like post-botw where lorule is now prosperous and well... hyrule is now in ruined in BOTW.

9:56 that sound and arrow hit as hard as a daym cutscene

6:15 "You don't have all the pieces yet, bitch! BRING IT!"

I kinda wished Yuga and Ganon would separate after beating him and Ganon would hide in the dark world for the final battle similar to Link to the Past.

A Link between worlds has the best ending of any Zelda game ever.

I’m I think 11 years late but I finally beat this game after replaying and beating ALTTP and man was this game great I liked a lot of the characters a lot Zelda Hilda Ravio and Irene

I honestly think that ravio actually would have the triforce of wisdom and Hilda the triforce of courage I hope I'm not missing something like a missing LINK

One of my favorite endings

One thing I would've liked to have seen in Hero Mode was new attacks on the bosses. Maybe Yuga Ganon could've gotten his huge lightning attack from when you fight him in Hyrule Castle, only it covers the ENTIRE field and you can't dodge/block it unless you merge into a wall in time.

I played the link between world before on the Nintendo 3ds and find all the secret and bonus games and I used to find master sword Hyrule shield and find all the hearts and power glove and fighter the boss and Yuga.

23:29 Woah looks like someone turned the content aware scale on a little too high for Ravio

The sound Ganon-Yuga makes when he appears reminds me of Kirby when he "pops" and he blows out air and stops floating

i'm sorry but Link standing in the wall while the little fire birds are attacking looks so funny to me

17:31 did you just thrust at zelda?

23:30 Ravio, Link's friend is that you? And Princess Hilda, are you here?

Im watching this because when I beat the boss my DS decided to glitch and say that my cartridge was ejected when it wasn't halfway through the ending cutscene. 😢

This is one of my favorite zelda games. It's so good.

Hey... random thought for a somewhat had ending... the triforce cant restore Lorules Triforce... if Lorule no longer exists. In other words Lorule was on its last leg the land was crumbling away and Hilda and her hero sent Link and Zelda back before the final collapse. Lorule then goes all Krypton explosion and the Triforce is no unable to grant the wish to revive Lorules Triforce because there is no more Lorule. Link and Zelda are in turn faced with the harsh reality that sometimes you cant save everyone. Lorule is gone and only Link, Zelda, and the sages are aware of the tragedy that was the loss of an entire Kingdom.

Enough to make a grown man cry
