In this video, we dive into the Japanese versions of the Legend of Zelda franchise and examine the profound influence of Japanese culture on the series' narrative and Link's character. We examine the contrast between the Western and Japanese interpretations of the concept of a "hero" and uncover the true definition of the "spirit of the hero", as described by Demise in Skyward Sword. We also explore the Silent Realms' objective and character, how they help Link in his journey towards becoming a hero, and much more. All translations in the video have been completed by me. I'd like to give a special shoutout to Monster Maze for discussing various concepts with me. If you're intrigued by what I cover in this video, I highly recommend checking out his content, especially his video about the Triforce. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKX-Widxmokt8VyIblzdN3w
