I feel like his dialogue tries too hard to be poignant and misses the mark sometimes, but his art is pleasant enough

Yeah, this one fucked me up pretty good. Sorry Shadow.

>>92735944
That's fucking retarded.

>>92735944
This is dumb because the ability to defend yourself obviously secures life.

>>92736246
why not a shield then?

>>92736297
They do related but different jobs in the realm of self defense.

>>92736246
Violence begets violence. Those who live by the sword die by the sword. By giving him a weapon he invited violence and death into the boy's life.

Explaining the joke.

>>92736322
But how is Link going to save Zelda without a sword

Good, your transformation is complete. Rise, tumblr.

It's not always poignant.

Fun Fact: Zac was a writer/boarder on Over the Garden Wall
He wriote/boarded:
The Old Grist Mill (with Steve Wolfhard and Natasha Allegri)
Mad Love (with Nat Allegri)
and boarded on the one scripted episode (Into the unknown: boarded with Cole Sanchez and Vi Nguyen, written by Cole, Bert Youn, Amalia Levari, Tom Herpich, and Pat McHale)

he also solo boarded a single uncle grandpa episode (Hundred Dollar Gus)

People have just been saying it since before Jesus was born for no reason.

>>92737267
No, I meant the last part about how a weapon invites violence. The world is a dangerous place, violence can't be avoided.

>>92737307
>about how a weapon invites violence
But that is litterally the point of the adage. Don't bring your guns to town.

>>92737179
>>Somebody hasn't seen Logan...

>>92737307
It doesn't attract violence literally, but putting a child in this dangerous situation and telling him he'll have to kill will fuck him up.

>>92737347
Watch Shane you half-assing faggot.

>>92736322
Nigga there are octupuses that spit rocks and a giant pigman kidnapped the princess to conquer the world.

>>92737342
There are no more guns in the valley.

>>92737342
A gun isn't violence. A weapon isn't violence. But a weapon may be the only thing that can stop violence. Sure, sending a kid into the world to fight monsters is a terrible thing to do, but Link was going to do that anyways, best to give him a weapon to defend himself with.

I bet every incarnation of Link ends his journey with serious mental scars. Especially Majora's Mask.

>>92737439
I figured the Old Man is ashamed that to save the world he must tell a child to kill.

>>92737439
Dude, it's a thematic element that has been used for millennium. Almost all revisionist westerns are about that idea, there are songs about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTAZ7xzZKAw, Logan was about this concept.

>>92736322
yeah but the issue is that Violence rsvpd long before Link got that sword. Link had a target on his back the second it was apparent he was the chosen one and it got brighter the second he went on his quest.
The adage doesn't fit well with the legend of Zelda.

>>92737444
>Especially Majora's Mask.
Special mention should go to the first Toon Link, cause damn if he didn't see some serious shit.
Keep in mind he was the Link in both WW and PA, and while WW didn't have a ton of scar material PA was just straight up unsettling a lot of the time..

>>92737547
I only really got into the Zelda series a few years ago, and I've kind of noticed something.
The Zelda series is a depressing cycle of death and devastation, where nearly every major conflict is solved by sealing the bad guy away to be a nightmare for future generations, and people reincarnate to fill the same miserable role they filled last time.

I'd wondered what Miyazaki meant when he said Dark souls borrowed from Zelda.

>>92737651

>PA

Which game is this? I know WW is Wind Waker.

>>92737760
I think he meant PH, Phantom Hourglass.

>>92736219
Replace Shadow with Curly Brace and that's pretty heavy. It doesn't help that there's literally no way you could possibly figure it out on the first playthrough, so no matter what you feel guilty about leaving her at least once.

Technically, it's completely possible to beat Zelda 1 without ever getting the sword.

>>92736595
Fun Fact: That was better than any pretentious drivel he ever created.

You should take a step back and ask why it bothers you. Is it something you don't like or what memes told you not to like.

I played Smash all the time as a kid, and I always just called him Shortround from Temple of Doom. I was in high school when I learned he fought Cthulu Fetus.

>>92735866
So is he an actual cartoonist or does he only do Nintendo fanart?

>>92738195

>>92736595

>>92738195
He did something for Costume Quest and he worked on Over The Garden wall.

>>92736219
Letting Shadow die is better than watching him kill himself later on. At least then he dies with "purpose" of having your team escape.

They were the same level of "pretentious." you just have a very low threshhold for "pretentiousness" because middle school infected you with a deep-seated anti-intellectualism so anything that even SEEMS like it might have a thought behind it and doesn't have the approval of a large media company makes you nervous.
