Top 10 Legend of Zelda Cutscenes

You forgot the absolute best one; Groose following Link down to the surface in Skyward Sword. Sheer brilliance.

That final cutscene from TP, when Midna leaves Link through the mirror of twilight and breaks it. Just Links facial expression to her leaving and they’re both looking back at each other gets me everytime. :( You really see Midna’s character development thoroughout the game!

In Wind Waker, Ganondorf explains that the wind brings death. After burying the Master Sword into his forehead, Ganondorf's final words are "The wind ... it is blowing" and death comes for him. What an incredible ending.

Man, that intro gave me CHILLS!

There are so many others that could have easily made the top 10. Valoo attacking Ganondorf, the dark interlopers, Midna's goodbye, heir to a throne of nothing but failure, everything I have doing up until now was all for nothing, BotW 100% epilogue. Getting goosebumps just thinking about them.

As a kid I was completely amazed by the cutscene where the goddesses create Hyrule in OoT, I even had dreams about it.

One of my favorite zelda cutscenes, and not one I've seen mentioned elsewhere here yet, is when you heal Pamela's father in Majora's Mask. You have a little girl who is all alone, trapped in a land swarming with the undead, her father turning into a monster himself, and the second Link heals him she just rushes up in order to comfort HIM instead of the other way around. It's a very sweet cutscene/moment that has always been one of my favorites.

The giants stopping the moon will forever be one of my favorite moments in gaming The music elevates it so much too

Zelda's apology and goodbye to Link before she goes into the seal makes me cry everytime, its so good

Midna’s plea for Zelda to help Link while Midna is at death’s door is an extremely touching scene. I would pick that as Twilight Princess’s best cutscene.

Wind Waker's ending is just.. so good. Ganondorf's final defeated laughter, it's just so haunting.

OK first...THAT INTRO WAS AMAZING. Also, Colin saving Beth was great to imagine the kind of rage Link felt as he rode in and saw the situation. I always felt link showed Colin more respect than the other kids did.

I love the entire finale to ALBW, more so what occurs after you defeat Yuganon. Hilda rises and she's determined to fight Link and Zelda by herself. Ravio's arrival, and the reveal about who he is. His speech as be pleads with Hilda. Link and Zelda get yo return home and leave Lorule to its doom. But instead, in spite of everything Hilda did, Zelda and Link wish to restore Lorule's Triforce. The look on her face as she sees the inverted triangles reform, the sun shines on the kingdom for the first time in who knows, and the simple "thank you, Zelda!" Good stuff. Great ending. Killer game.

I loved this! A few scenes I'd add: - Sad Grandma (Wind Waker) - Nayru's song (Oracle of Ages) - Real Midna (Twilight Princess) - Zelda drops her sword (Twilight Princess) - Kakariko village on fire (Ocarina of Time) - Anju and Kafei reunion (Majora's Mask)

I know a lot of people didn't care for Ganondorf's late inclusion in Twilight Princess because of how detached from the rest of the story he was, but that scene of him on his horse holding up Midna's helmet like some kind of war trophy is one of the most badass scenes in the entire series.

The scene with Zelda explaining Hylias plan from skyward sword will always rank as the top cutscene from any Zelda game for me. The grief of the newly reborn Hylia, the desperation from link as he pounds on the crystal, the momentary break Links otherwise stoic expression, it truly is wonderful

One of my favorites comes from Spirit Tracks, the scene where Byrne sacrifices himself so Zelda can pray for Tetra's blessing to reclaim her body is so nice, and the final duet that comes after the first phase of the Malladus fight is so beautiful.

The final cutscene in TP when Midna breaks the mirror of twilight will always be my favorite Zelda cutscene ever. That game as a whole had a huge impact on me, but that last scene... the music.. realizing what Midna is doing, after everything they went through together... tears will always fall

The Twilight Princess soundtrack for this intro will always give me goosebumps! Has to be the most impactful intro music other than OoT's IMO. Minda's reveal and goodbye brought literal tears to my eyes the first time I played it. It still hurts my heart even now.

This intro is as epic as it can get, what a true master piece
