"It's easy when you're big in Hyrule, oh big in Hyrule"
-Fierce Deity Link

You saw it right - I hit 20 this year. Not sure how in the world I could survived to this age but it is what it is. This video took too many time to make. And even then it has quite a number of simplifications compared to the original video.

Thanks for sticking around my channel for those who actually watch!

Music used: Alphaville - Big in Japan (1983 original mix)
About the music:
""Big in Japan" is the debut single of the German synth-pop band Alphaville from their 1984 album Forever Young.

Marian Gold developed most of the lyrics while visiting a dentist. The theme was based on two friends who were involved in the sordid drug scene of Berlin's Zoo station. The refrain "big in Japan" symbolises the idea of being successful in another world, a fantasy about being drug-free. Gold said: "That line has a certain meaning. It means that if you're a complete loser, you're telling other people, 'I'm not a loser because in Japan I'm really big.' It's the lie of the loser and it fitted perfectly into the story of these junkies, which the song is about, in a very tragic way." Gold later explained: "We originally weren’t sure whether we should put it on the album, because it’s a bit autobiographical in that it reflects my time in West Berlin in the late 70s, with the drug scene around the train station and the zoo, and all the underground things. It has nothing to do with Japan."
