Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages - A Leap of Faith Liam Triforce 2021-03-14 | The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: https://skl.sh/liamtriforce03211In the past, I've discussed how trading quests and seeking out information can shape areas in a Zelda game. For Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, Hidemaro Fujibayashi and his team chose to implement their incredible new ideas and mechanics around this philosophy in an effort to channel the original Zelda. The result is a wildly entertaining, challenging, puzzling, and ultimately enjoyable couple of games that don't get the attention they deserve. They're not perfect, but they represent a leap of faith for the developers, and for the rest of the series.Thumbnail illustrations by Nin10ja! twitter.com/nin10jaThanks to Rebecca Tripp for letting me use her remix of Tarm Ruins (youtube.com/watch?v=AuEWfWSC-CU), and my brother Daylan for illustrating (instagram.com/daylanb.art)Also features music by Marble Pawns (marblepawns.bandcamp.com/album/mm)My video on Link’s Awakening: youtube.com/watch?v=ilRPu_x7jYYSources:Corey Bunnell’s story - kotaku.com/american-says-in-2007-its-his-dream-to-work-at-nintendo-1793403037Hidemaro Fujibayashi interview - web.archive.org/web/20110930045222/http://www.gpara.com/contents/creator/bn_106.htmIf you liked this video and want to see more, give it a like and consider subscribing for future updates from yours truly!Be sure to check out Last Life, a community and forum for thoughtful video game discussion! last-life.netIntro by Pico: instagram.com/icarotkdLike my videos a ton?

Understanding the Music of Doom Liam Triforce 2020-08-04 | UPDATE Nov. 2022: Mick Gordon deserved far better for his work on the soundtrack of Doom Eternal. Read Mick's side of the story here: medium.com/@mickgordon/my-full-statement-regarding-doom-eternal-5f98266b27ceIn 1993, Doom became one of the world's first immersive video games, and we can attribute a lot of that to Bobby Prince's score. Today, Mick Gordon has adapted the diversity of Doom's soundtrack in a slew of unorthodox and incredible ways. This video explores how Mick was able to do this, what it adds to both games, and why his compositions were so important.Sources:doom.fandom.com/wiki/Doom_musicMick streams Doom Eternal music - youtube.com/watch?v=3lQUuXKW4FQDoom Eternal OST Open Letter - reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/gdg25y/doom_eternal_ost_open_letterSub-bass explanation (listen with headphones) - youtube.com/watch?v=3jVLQm8Ej2oMick Gordon’s pinned comment on this video - youtube.com/watch?v=dbf_car6W60Mick @ GDC 2017 - youtube.com/watch?v=U4FNBMZsqrYMick Gordon hops into Hana Macchia’s stream (follow puppy) - youtube.com/watch?v=lxwL-FCt0iYFeaturing some music by HOME, HEALTHDoom - Behind the Music Part 1 youtube.com/watch?v=ua-f0ypVbPADoom Eternal - The Heavy Metal Choir - youtube.com/watch?v=Zx55zOYnlEgIf you liked this video and want to see more, give it a like and consider subscribing for future updates from yours truly!Be sure to check out Last Life, a community and forum for thoughtful video game discussion! last-life.netIntro by Pico: instagram.com/icarotkdLike my videos a ton?
