About

Hey! My name is Austin and welcome to my humble channel! I've long been a fan of deep-dive videogame analysis video essays here on YouTube, so I eventually decided to make my own. My focus has been on my favorite series, Zelda, Pokemon, and Bioshock, but I also enjoy shaking it up every so often. I know my content might feel somewhat amateur when compared to more experienced content creators, but I'd love it if you give me a chance. My favorite part of this YouTube journey has been hearing from viewers; I promise that I read every single comment so please share your own thoughts and memories with me too. Thanks for stopping by; I hope you enjoy and decide to hang around!

Video Description

I'm back with a big one! No disrespect towards the earlier Zelda games, but when I set out to do a full series retrospective, I was most excited to tackle the 3D titles like Ocarina of Time. This legendary title is so much bigger than it's predecessors that it demanded a more extensive reflection. I tried a new format in which I go through the game bit by bit and offer my commentary along the way. As you can tell, the video ballooned accordingly... I apologize for such a long wait since my last video, I hope to keep the gap between videos much shorter moving forward. If you're here for my Bioshock videos, I hope you weren't too disappointed to see the return of Zelda and I promise Infinite will be the subject of my next retrospective. This project wasn't easy so please continue to show my channel some love if you like what I'm trying to do. Because this video was a little different from my others, I'm really looking for feedback on how effective the new format was. Thanks for your time and I hope you enjoy my Ocarina of Time Retrospective!
