  This is by far my favourite analysis of SS. The way you weaved all the different elements of the story together and slowly unraveled the themes, symbolism and roles of the various characters was just masterful. Excellent work.

  Incredible work and criminally low views, an all too common combination. I hope the algorithm decides to bless this video one day. More Zelda fans need to see it

  I got legitimate chills when you started pulling all the symbolism together with clips from all over the series, all timed with the music. Absolutely brilliant editing. 👏

  &quot;Look at this frog!&quot; Was not expecting the cute delightful delivery of that.<br>Anyway this essay is so long I&apos;m gonna have to watch it again for sure.<br>I can&apos;t believe another Hylian Dan essay dropped, so exciting. Loved the &quot;romantic&quot; thing about Link and Ghirahim, made my silly shipper heart squee. Calling him and Groose frogs, incredible.<br>Impressed by all the threads you tie in this one, you&apos;ve given me a lot to think about. I&apos;ll have to leave a better comment later lol

  So, I&apos;ve watched this video MULTIPLE times now. Every time I watch it, a new little detail stands out to me and completely shifts the way I see the series as a whole, and it only increases my affection for Skyward Sword. This was the first game I was able to buy for myself (my parents wouldn&apos;t buy the games for me growing up, so I bought it with money from my high school job), and so it was also the first game I was able to play all the way through to the end. It really filled my heart to see Skyward Sword getting the time and care it deserves, especially with so much respect coming from the speaker. This video not only confirmed the sinking feeling I always got at the end of the game (I never felt good about how the Triforce was used in Skyward Sword and felt like I wasn&apos;t supposed to be happy with the choice), and now I understand why that instinct was RIGHT. There&apos;s so much artistry and storytelling happening in this game. It just needed the right person to come along and share the beautiful yet haunting lessons of Skyward Sword. Thank you SO much for making this video! My favorite part was the end of part three (CHILLING) and the sharp transition into &quot;Look at this frog!&quot; I&apos;m still laughing my ass off. 😂😭 The final sequence showcasing all of the games&apos; climactic moments gives me chills every time I&apos;ve watched it, too. Your video editing skills and essay building are masterful, and I&apos;m so grateful that you&apos;ve shared this with the world. Seriously, I&apos;ve shared this with anyone who will listen to me long enough. This video deserves ALL of the views!
