What makes the OoT animation a bit cooler is that Link is older after the animation, like the beams hide him from your view and after the flash of light, he grew old (and everything else changed as well, but you only see that after leaving the cathedral)
Which seems weird when you think about it. Has he been passed out there for 7 years? How did he stay alive? Where did he get clothes that fit?
The sages used their advanced technology to send Link into a divergent timeline but had to massively simplify their explanation for refugee child living in the woods.
And why can he not use the Kokiri Sword as a dagger? It’s like he’s not even trying
Even as a silent GIF I hear something like this masterful rendition of the song play in my mind’s ear.
Meanwhile 8year old me with a ps1 seeing this for the first time and thinking I can never be happy again
Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/299/
Yes, but only after I collected the Knights of the Round materia just to watch the minute and an half animation of them beating sephiroth’s ass.
Me having my first ‘open world’ experience with TES Oblivion and not enjoying it until my inner monologue suddenly switches from “I don’t know where to go. I don’t know what to do” to “I can go anywhere. I CAN DO ANYTHING!” and then I am slaughtered by the guard for trying to kill the nearest random peasant.

Lucky you. I only had Lee Carvello’s Putting Challenge. I kept hitting the ball in the parking lot.
Me, but when I gave the stripper money in Duke Nukem 3D.
