Stop Motion. It’s under-used, under-appreciated and I really have a soft spot for it, particularly when it’s as well done as this Zelda effort. It even has a rubbish ‘vine’ pun in there. This video has everything.
I think I like stop-motion purely for nostalgia reasons. Coincidentally, this might be the same reason why I love Zelda so much. Therefore this video makes perfect sense. It has Link fighting off a couple of monsters, but eventually facing off against a mini-boss with vines for weapons.
It’s a joke that sort of makes sense at the end. The joke kind of sucks, but the execution and the fight itself is fairly spectacular by stop-motion standards.

I own that Link, unfortunately I don’t posses the talent to make such an awesome video with it.

I was kinda expecting the chest to hold a compass. That damn, useless, compass.
