Thats why its a terrible Zelda game. It *is* a kickass game, just a bad Zelda one. As soon as you meet Purah, you say "Zelda who?" As soon as you roast your first korok with a spanking machine made from boat oars, you forget Purah. Master sword? Nah. Weiner-Gundam that cooms fire from the sky. It could be a Spongebob game, and nothing would change. Just gotta figure out who goes in the one caked up cutscene. Sandy or Mr. Crabs.
@ʇןoʌɐbıb uoɔıqnɹ the original was about saving a princess from a pig-dude and genociding land-octopussesses. The further out you go, the more distant the concept. I think wind waker was about the limit of deviation from the formula. Not saying that Zelda has had many bad games, just not any recent 'zelda' games. To give an analogy... Gordon Ramsey comes to your house, goes into your kitchen, organizes your spices, helps your kid with homework, gives your dog a nail clipping, waxes your floor, does your taxes, then orders you McDonalds from uber eats before leaving. You wouldn't complain at all. You appreciated all of that. But he didn't cook or call you a doughnut.
When I got to my fourth “Demon King? Secret Stone?” I thought to myself: man, dunkey is gonna edit this in the funniest way possible. And you did not disappoint
Dunkey has a knack for being able to show you the biggest draws and downsides of a videogame with just a dozen minutes or less of your time without having read a script directly at the viewer. He's just gotta show you a number of clips from his play session and you just know whether a game is great or not. Truly a special videogame content creator
@jaylin webb the building and physics engines are so well crafted that it almost feels like it's "meant" to be broken. The devs definitely knew what they were doing and that's why the game is made this way.
2:23 I laughed way too hard on this, the big fat bokoblin just being launched into the air, as dunkey says “good luck” and that music and of course the scream
I built this huge tower to try and drop a boulder on it from the top, and when that failed horribly I realized the stabilizer made half the tower become unglued and launch upwards so I just used that instead
@nikko.tyh You people are so weird. You cjed the same few topics about BotW over and over again for 6 years, now you are gonna lie to yourself that you want this over traditional style Zelda, aka Zelda. These games are so lazy, and cash ins for Nintendo.
@Milk Toast Okay easy. The first one of these was a game stopped midway through development due to the demise of the system it was being developed for (which was midway through the game), and then what was left was made into a game. The original game, called Zelda U was shown in 2013-14 in a complete looking state, with a magic meter. Thats because that magic meter was there for most of the development of the original "version." My guess is it was originally a traditional style Zelda, and I feel there are many things that point to this very blatantly. This game, continues that "style" of game. A "style" derived from an incomplete vision of a game. Nintendo was not prepared for the mass of in-denial, brainwashed people, in addition to the influx of children who had no previous "bar" or experience regarding the series, and like a bunch of lemmings they praised it as the "greatest of all time" without experiencing what the series will go back to being (mark my words). I'm sure its a better game, a bigger sandbox with physics to experiment with... but its not for me, and no game, ever, has made me feel the way I felt when I finished the first part. It was not a good feeling, more of a reminder that I am done. Haven't touched the game since and I had it weeks early. PS: Same UI sounds, same graphics SIX years later... name another one.
The best part of these videos is that I can never tell if they're live reactions or narrated afterwards and at this point I choose to believe it's bits of both.
The mega-ding potential of the mushroom cannot be understated. Pound for pound, atom for atom it is the most robust atomical composition required for maximum dingition. 10/10 best mushroom IGN ever produced.
In dunkeys dark souls 3 video he fails the plunging attack, and at 4:35 he actually does it. He made a joke that took 6 years to pay off that most people wouldn’t even notice was a payoff, what the actual hell.
This video had me rolling. This was me playing that bell challenge. I built a fully functional pitching arm and spent like an hour putting stuff in the glove until it finally hit the bell.
I had that EXACT same reaction to the Lynel colosseum. After I beat the fourth one, with like 3 hearts unaffected by gloom, I thought "okay, that has to be it, no way they'll throw another one at me." Turns out 🤷♂️
I knew the “psycho mantis?” was coming as soon as he played the first “demon king?” clip and it still killed me. Master of comedy, that Dunkey character
To be honest, I was actually surprised it wasn't the next clip. Of course, then I saw that all three sages react pretty much exactly the same way and it started to make sense.
Considering I have self-respect, if he made many more videos circling a game that directly disrespected its fanbase and sold out its best concepts as soon as possible, I'd probably have to unsubscribe.
Since the video was nearly 13 min long I clicked expecting it to be a review video. Nope. It's 13 min of pure Dunkey Shenanigans. Amazing. I am continuously blown away by this game. It's a technical masterpiece considering its stable, has virtually zero glitches and just works on a friggin nintendo switch! Other game developers are scratching their heads wondering how on earth Nintendo pulled this off. And it's a gameplay masterpiece that has you constantly discovering new things from both exploration and experimentation. The sky's the limit with this game. I have no words to describe what an incredible achievement this game is.
This legit happened to me. I spent an hour trying to get this and ended up just putting a barrel in the end of two logs, attached it to the spring and fixed it to the ground with the Zonai spine and scored a 168. After getting the Ruby I was so tilted 😆
Gaming
I love how the video completely changes once Dunkey discovers the bell challenge
Was looking for this comment and it didn't take long to find.
😅

@Volyren in ur professional opinion, which zelda is the most kickass zelda
@Volyren well maybe they actually wanted to do something different, if you don't like it play the other zeldas you claim tone better than totk
@ʇןoʌɐbıb uoɔıqnɹ the original was about saving a princess from a pig-dude and genociding land-octopussesses.
The further out you go, the more distant the concept. I think wind waker was about the limit of deviation from the formula. Not saying that Zelda has had many bad games, just not any recent 'zelda' games.

You wouldn't complain at all. You appreciated all of that. But he didn't cook or call you a doughnut.
I can't believe just playing the main theme has become it's own punchline, it's so effective it makes me giggle every time
Right? It shouldnt be this funny lol
I might be very baked but I was almost in tears laughing at the bell challenge
Bot comment, btw, likely copypasted
Yes!! The bombastic triumphant peak of the music elevates anything it’s put over 😂
Bruh it’s a bot😭
love how literally everyone’s most used items are brightbulb seed, fire fruit, and bomb flowers, in that order 😂
I use bombs more than fire fruit but yeah the top 3 is still those three
@David Rossington Literally in every gameplay video hahaha mine bombs are second too
Muddle blood, fire fruit, bomb flowers for me. Why fight at all starting at low level when the enemies can just kill each other?
I mean…the depths are rough and there is ALOT of mining…
Muddle buds are also up there. Makes groups of mobs just clear themselves 😂
Dunkey finally using the recall ability to recover his machines is one of the greatest redemption arcs to date.
Darude - Sandstorm
Better than red dead redemption
By the end of this Dunkey will have two PHDs in engineering and a master's degree in literature.
Not to mention a masters in marketing.
He'll be the first to get a master's degree for getting master's degrees.
His essay on flames making it impossible to go further will get an A+
You assume he doesn't already have those. Man is a genius
He already has a PhD in Spaghetti and Meatballs
10+ heart with 1 circle of stamina. That’s so crazy
Along with 8 complete zonai batteries and silver enemies 💀
@friedmilk priorities lol
i just get the 3 circles of stamina with only 4 hearts and just because the 4th heart is mandatory
@Joniel Giancarlo same, if you need hearts then it's a skill issue
@Jersy Espinosa Pérez not me with two stamina wheels and twenty eight hearts
You know a game’s good when dunkey makes 2 videos on it
And the second one is 13 mins, that's pretty long as well
Was thinking this as I clicked.
The first strand type got also got 2 videos
how abt ow2
In a row also lol
When I got to my fourth “Demon King? Secret Stone?” I thought to myself: man, dunkey is gonna edit this in the funniest way possible. And you did not disappoint
I always look forward to the “Psycho Mantis?” 😂
This game really makes you feel like you're tearing up in the kingdom.
No joke. Happy tears, sad tears, frustrated tears... I'm gettin' dehydrated from all this cryin'.
Dunkey has a knack for being able to show you the biggest draws and downsides of a videogame with just a dozen minutes or less of your time without having read a script directly at the viewer. He's just gotta show you a number of clips from his play session and you just know whether a game is great or not. Truly a special videogame content creator
This maybe the only game that actually looks really cool broken 😂
Dunkey has a WHAT?!?!?
@Fork 3 DUNKEY HAS A KNACK TWO BABBYYY
@jaylin webb the building and physics engines are so well crafted that it almost feels like it's "meant" to be broken. The devs definitely knew what they were doing and that's why the game is made this way.
@Fork 3 KNACK IS BACK BAYBEEE
"YOU RUINED MY WHOLE LIFE" killed me, it just sounded so genuine.
2:23 I laughed way too hard on this, the big fat bokoblin just being launched into the air, as dunkey says “good luck” and that music and of course the scream
12:00 Dunkey doesn't make jokes with editing very often, and makes sense cuz his commentary is gold.
But this little part was incredible.
wait i just noticed😭i thought that mushroom really gave him 147 points lmao
@toaster2² I wish lol
Genuinely cried tears laughing, the build up to a mushroom was pure comedy lmfao
"Dunkey doesn't make jokes with editing very often" yes he does
I love how we all collectively got frustrated from the bell challenge and decided that the best strategy is a rock with ten rockets on it
I thought the object was to hit the target on the ground hard enough to ring the bell... I did not make it very far.
Dunno man i catapulted a small rock into the bell and got 167 first try. All your guys solutions are so complicated xD
I mean, if it works it works
I built this huge tower to try and drop a boulder on it from the top, and when that failed horribly I realized the stabilizer made half the tower become unglued and launch upwards so I just used that instead
@quoteMe just plunging attack from height limit
It's a miracle a game this good exists
Yeah okay. Jesus christ. The bar... lowered for you kids thats all this is.
@Timmy P okay timmy
@nikko.tyh You people are so weird. You cjed the same few topics about BotW over and over again for 6 years, now you are gonna lie to yourself that you want this over traditional style Zelda, aka Zelda.
These games are so lazy, and cash ins for Nintendo.
@Timmy P if you’re gonna make a claim at least argue it well.
@Milk Toast Okay easy.

PS: Same UI sounds, same graphics SIX years later... name another one.
I just love how much fun he's having, you really hear it in his voice
Dunkey seriously played this game, and then came back and was like "Look at all the things I've learned"
Tears of the Kingdom is so good. Thank you so much for making it, dunkey
I'm so glad Dunkey invented Nintendo 40 years ago
If he didn’t invent video games where would we be now
There's absolutely no way 32 npcs liked this generic ass comment in under a minute lol
What would we do without hideo game dunkey
@Cisco for real I literally just typed the first remotely funny thing I thought
2:28 He actually tried the "Jump in a crashing elevator at the last second" trick, and it worked.
i knew the “psycho mantis” was coming and i still laughed out loud
I nearly choked on my dinner from the part at 11:17 peak physical comedy there.
Are you ok
@p Yes, I successfully defeated my dinner thank you.
@Assel Passtelloddly wholesome lol
The best part of these videos is that I can never tell if they're live reactions or narrated afterwards and at this point I choose to believe it's bits of both.
I'm fairly certain it's all edited in afterward.
You can tell if it's a live reaction because the mic sounds different
I love how the minute he gets to the bell part, you know he's gonna spend the rest of the video on it. classic dunk, great vid
Dunkey hitting rocks into a bell for 5 minutes is truly the first strand type video
lol
This better be a whole series, this is peak dunkey
The trombone playing louder and louder as you continuously fail to get a new record is the icing on the cale
The mega-ding potential of the mushroom cannot be understated. Pound for pound, atom for atom it is the most robust atomical composition required for maximum dingition. 10/10 best mushroom IGN ever produced.
this is probably the dunkey video that had me laughing the hardest. I couldn't stop laughing in the last half
5:05 killed me. First time I tried the Helibike I had the exact same encounter and reaction
This game really makes you feel like you spent 2 hours making an elaborate flying contraption to get a bundle of arrows
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote:
"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes"
~ Oscar Wilde
And it is worth it every time!
@Philosophy_Botbad bot
Hey, you should be thankful for those arrows! If you flew a homemade airplane to a hidden sky island in Elden Ring, you'd get [Mushroom]
@Ctr1A1tDe1Eat Everyone knows that it’s an Arteria Leaf. Did you even play Elden Ring?
Watching videos of TOTK makes me realise how I've barely been experimenting at all
same
Same
same
Same
@MrDuckEatsBread blawg replied to his own comment 😭😭
i havent LOLd irl that much in a long time thanks dunkey. the megading scale part aboslutely killed me!
Anytime a game makes Dunkey say he's gonna return it multiple times, you know he loves it
The Lynel coliseum commentary made me laugh way too loud 😂 “There’s another one?!” God i wish i could see that live
Imagine his reaction when he finds out there are 2 silver lynels.
I only got past that part because I remembered I had 1 ancient blade left. Didn't bring enough sunny meals with me
In dunkeys dark souls 3 video he fails the plunging attack, and at 4:35 he actually does it. He made a joke that took 6 years to pay off that most people wouldn’t even notice was a payoff, what the actual hell.
Okay but that shield surf Dodge into a bomb bounce into a melee combo was unironically the most fire shit I’ve ever seen
Can I get a time stamp? I must have zoned out.
@Clockwork 5:23
@Clockwork 3:02
@ZRC 3:02
3:58
In the breath of the wild, dunkey demonstrated how creative you could be with the game mechanics. I'm glad he could do the same with this game
This video had me rolling. This was me playing that bell challenge. I built a fully functional pitching arm and spent like an hour putting stuff in the glove until it finally hit the bell.
I had that EXACT same reaction to the Lynel colosseum. After I beat the fourth one, with like 3 hearts unaffected by gloom, I thought "okay, that has to be it, no way they'll throw another one at me." Turns out 🤷♂️
I knew the “psycho mantis?” was coming as soon as he played the first “demon king?” clip and it still killed me. Master of comedy, that Dunkey character
samee
To be honest, I was actually surprised it wasn't the next clip. Of course, then I saw that all three sages react pretty much exactly the same way and it started to make sense.
but dunkey real. Isn't he?
Same here!
@ThePCguy17make sense ?
I laughed so hard through this video! Thank you Dunkey!
Thank you so much for this amazing video Dunkey i love what you are doing !!
I've watched this vid 100 times. It helps me from dark places. Thanks dunko
You are absolutely treasure please keep making more. Your videos bring me joy when I am in deep sorrow.
an almost 13 minute zelda video from dunkey makes my heart so happy.
Considering this game has basically infinite shenanigans potential, dunkey could probably keep making these videos from now until the end of time.
Dunkey turning back into a 1 gam channel. League of Links babee!
Considering I have self-respect, if he made many more videos circling a game that directly disrespected its fanbase and sold out its best concepts as soon as possible, I'd probably have to unsubscribe.
@Kevin Sugia How will he cope?
Or at least until the next zelda or mario galaxy game comes out
Since the video was nearly 13 min long I clicked expecting it to be a review video. Nope. It's 13 min of pure Dunkey Shenanigans. Amazing.
I am continuously blown away by this game. It's a technical masterpiece considering its stable, has virtually zero glitches and just works on a friggin nintendo switch! Other game developers are scratching their heads wondering how on earth Nintendo pulled this off.
And it's a gameplay masterpiece that has you constantly discovering new things from both exploration and experimentation. The sky's the limit with this game. I have no words to describe what an incredible achievement this game is.
Really makes you FEEL like a tear of the kingdom
This is glorious. Dunkey highlights make my day every time
I laughed way too hard at your inventions man, this is why I follow you with multiple accounts, can't miss your videos.
I muttered 'psycho mantis' under my breath at least 3 times while playing totk. Thank you dunkey for the human experience
I didn't know Hideo Kojima wrote this game
"Psycho Mantis?"
2nd floor basement???
You’re that ninja…
Secret mantis?
We need a new installment of the "THIS is the most killdest guy ever" series in Zelda
Man you never seem to stop amazing me with your content brother top tier 😂🖤
Been a fan for years! Keep it up, wish you more success in the future. Great video
Dunkey never disappoints. Pure happiness
You've made me laugh so much, thanks dunkey
I would enjoy a 1 hour long video of dunkey doing this
Yes!
Watch him stream
This helped my mood improve today. Thank you as always, Dunky. You're the GOAT.
actually he’s the donkey
Finally... A game with accurate plunging attack mechanics
This legit happened to me. I spent an hour trying to get this and ended up just putting a barrel in the end of two logs, attached it to the spring and fixed it to the ground with the Zonai spine and scored a 168. After getting the Ruby I was so tilted 😆
You can tell when dunk is really having a good time
This game really makes you FEEL like Link graduated with an engineering degree since the last video.
And he got laid
this game is a true masterpiece
this made me laugh out loud so many times thanks dunkey
Dude spent 10 hours figuring out how to lunch that rock for a score of 20, and then just threw a mushroom for 147 😂
the mushroom at the end made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂😂
I haven't laughed this hard at someone playing a game in so long. Thanks man!!!
I'm happy that GMod has finally been ported to Switch
Period after exclamation, genius. Edit: Was talking about a bot that got banned now I guess.
I’m glad people still remember GMod
@SCP-049 me too even so long after Garry Mod died on November the 18th 2012 R.I.P miss ya big man gone but nae forgotten
MGSV*
The first part with the spinning tree is just ravenholm
4:35 Finally the best attack in the whole game
this game is SO SO SO GOOD, wish i was better at crafting like dunkey!
dude is a legend!
The bell segment had me crying! Such a good boi!
dunkey really makes the game look a lot more fun than it really is...
8:13 I LOVE THAT HE SPENDS THE REST OF THIS VIDEO TO THE MINIGAME
I love when you can tell dunkey is just having fun in a game
He would have more fun if this game had a scene of Link and Zelda going on the bed and start "having a real adventure" if you know what I mean
😐
@The Golden Diamond hell yeah brthur
@The Golden Diamond😐
he spent unknown amounts of hours trying to ding a bell lol
"Nobody worry about this guy, he's cool 😎" That killed me lol.
Oh my lord this has me in literal fucking tears and I barely finished the video, this guy's amazing already! First video I've stumbled upon.
From humble league content creator to media giant. Keep it up dunkey
Vette serie!!! Lekker bezig!!!
This may be the first time in Dunkey history the plunging attack actually worked. Immediate 15 out of 10.
Dunkey swapping the scores for the rock and the mushshroom actually got me for a minute
i legit thought the scores where accurate
I could tell but I had to rewind because that score didn't make any sense. I haven't even found this challenge yet and I'm nearly 100 hours in.
@exzisd bruh if you dont use guides there has to be like 1k hours of content in this game, its nuts
I'm waiting for the Octopath Traveler crowd to say Dunkey lied about a bell
Mush Shroom
i fucking love dunkey, no other youtuber makes me laugh this much
I love how he spent so long making a bajillion boulder contraptions to get to a hundred, and then throwing a mushroom got 147.
Every time dunkey fails something, i alwayswonder if it was just a masterful plan and it actually just turned out exactly like he planned all along.
genuinely one of the first games that actually feels worth the 70 dabloons
Love to see dunkey having fun
Dunky and totk is the combo we all knew we needed
The combo we needed, the combo we deserved.
@Sam F.S. because his name is Batman
Best fusion
ur so cool and handsome
2:20 Oh, I get it! Because he’s literally frozen solid. Well played, Dunkey.
You can tell Dunky’s just having a lot of fun with it!
The mushroom throw at the end 😂
I could watch this guy make elaborate devices to solve various tasks, all day!
The plunging attack is the most reliable move in the game.
Gotta love when dunkey uploads a gameplay video that's over 10 minutes. This game is a masterpiece
I never thought I would see Dunkey playing and enjoying Banjo and Kazooie Nuts and Bolts 2
The main theme playing just before a mishap is hilarious every time :D
This is a very good video. I really enjoyed this one! Congrats on your Mega-Dingers Dunkey
The Lynel coliseum is exactly how I experienced it, except with the added bonus of it being my first Lynel fight ever
Imagine throwing all these rocks , machine contraptions and strapping rockets just to be beaten by a thrown mushroom
I knew the psycho mantis was coming but still had me in stitches😂
dude i literally said “2nd floor basement?!?!?” right as it happened 😂😂😂😂
Psycho stone? Demon mantis??
i made this same comment before i saw this hahaha
“Nobody worry about this guy he’s cool” dunkey is a genius
Yes thank you
Can’t wait to see the speed runs
