The Legend of Zelda – Full Retrospective DVD November 22, 2006
If you have not heard or seen anything about the Zelda Retrospective series, it’s about time you did. GameTrailers.com released 6 in-depth videos looking at the entire Zelda series. They released one video a week since October. They finally wrapped up the last part this past Sunday. You can view all 6 videos below:
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6
THE DVD
With that being said, WiiNintendo decided to combine all 6 videos into ONE 50 minute video. It was edited down to run seamlessly through, then output to DVD (Video_TS folder, ready to burn to Disc.)
Here is the general synopsis of the DVD:
We take a look at the humble beginnings of the boy dressed in green, and the adventures he found on his quest for greatness It continues with a look at Link’s return to his roots, and his first handheld outing. Then we find Link riding his way onto the Nintendo 64, and becomes the ultimate master of disguise. After that Link brings us back to the handheld market where Link meets a few new friends. Lastly, ventures onto the GameCube where he undergoes an extreme makeover, and meets a talking cap that’ll change his world perspective.
As our retrospective comes to an end, we try to make sense of the history of Hyrule and it’s ever-present green-clad hero.

Here is the 50 minute plus DVD on Google Video:
UPDATE 1: GameTrailers.com wanted their bumper back in the video (understandably), the reason it’s not in the Google Video version is because it’s a rip from the DVD, which has their logo and website on the DVD and DVD case.
UPDATE 2: Here it is back on Google Video, we’ll see how long it lasts (ALL CREDIT, Gametrailers.com), it was created into an .mp4 for iPod, I’m working on getting a GT Logo in there, I have to re-render, upload, etc…:

When it is converted to .VOB it keeps full resolution and DVD data. I’ll be uploading a DiVX, mpeg-4, and flash version soon.

This is sweet, I can’t wait until its completely seeded so that the download rate speeds up! If anyone doesn’t know about downloading torrent files, you’ll need a bittorrent client to do so. I’ve got links to three that are all pretty good on my website:

After downloading these files you’ll need a program like dvd shrink to burn them to a dvd.
Just some helpful info for anyone that didn’t know!

i made a dvd jacket.
it’s about 20 mb (because it’s a high quality 300 dpi image) so i’m asking nicely if someone could help host it or make a torrent or something to relieve the strain from my site. it’s a pdf and should be printed on a legal size page. it has a 1/8th inch bleed and crop marks.

also, please continue to seed to torrent.

How do I burn this on unbuntu? do i just burn a data disc with those 2 folders on it?
November 26th, 2006 at 10:31 am
Burn this as a Video DVD, then just drag the Video_TS folder in that’s it.

Zelda Retrospective Video…
I think the Zelda games are alot of fun and I enjoy them. Other people REALLY like the Zelda games. Some Zelda lovers have created a video that is circulating around the net. It is a documentary about the Zelda games called The Zelda Retrospective. …

So now that twilight princess has come out, where does it fit on the timeline??
November 27th, 2006 at 10:40 pm
@steve
shhhh. spoilers, but I have a general idea. They have mentioned the goddessess who created hyrule in twilight princess (I’m only 1/2 way through), so I know it comes AFTER Ocarina of Time.

[...] GameTrailers (whos videos won’t play on our site, dammit) has been releasing their in-depth Zelda documentary in 6 parts over the last month or so. Thankfully, a kind soul has put all six parts together into one 50 minute video and posted it on Google Videos. (which we can play here!) You can also go directly to Google Video and download it for your iPod, or if you are a true archivist, you can order a DVD version from WiiNintendo.net. Enjoy! [...]

Hope your still reading these replies, thekinginyellow, because I absolutely LOVE your DVD Jacket. And since it’d take a lot more time for me to hack out a DVD Disc Cover image from the cover, I was wondering if you could make a quick one based on your Jacket sleeve.
If so, that would make this entire thing perfect! Either way, thanks for the time spent on creating the Jacket!

Can anyone just create the DVD for me and send it in the mail? I’ve wasted too much time dealing with torrents and the like. I’ll gladly buy the damn thing for a few dollars just to avoid trying to download it through a torrent.

Hiya huys…
Does someone have the script of the whole video? I’m trying to translate this retrospective to the spanish language.
Yeah, maybe I could make it, but due to my lack at english I just can’t understand all the words.
Thanks for your help…

After watching the Zelda Retrospective and thinking about its theory of the time line its still unclear about some things. I defeated Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and if everybody saw the info on G4 Ganon was revived and defeated once again but their was no info on a flood in hyrule. So unless they create a game that follows this one and installs the flood it can not fit into time line B.
it could fit time line A to well ether but it would have to be a decendent of the link from A Link to the Past’s link, like a great grandson in the future. So far that fits best. those are my theories for an upgrade on the 2 time lines. We may just have to wait for the next game to prove my theory, but in some ways it would make alot of sense, because the new link didn’t have a past he was just living in the village of Ordon.

[...] It’s a simple story, really. Gametrailers produced a brilliant and quite extensive Legend of Zelda retrospective in 6 parts (detailing every Zelda game ever made and attempting to make sense of the series’ time-line) and WiiNintendo.net edited the whole thing into one 50 minute DVD format video. And we (they, too) lived happily ever after. Despite never producing any porn. Learn the happy details and download the DVD and some lovely cover art here. [...]

haha! that was great! XD actually its funny i dont think there is suppose a time line really for the events :\ but then again they do mention what happened years ago etc. quite interesting. So if it works that way then yes perhaps it does come after ocarina of time >< but then when does hyrule get flooded? :O
