Pretty pretentious..

You really built it up at the beginning when you said it was something people can learn from and that they should examine your animation frame by frame to learn something...

There really wasn't that much animation for what was there.. but when they did move it was jerky and wasn't very smooth, even for a rough animation. I'd say it was a good effort and that you have some talent, but its just a big turn off when you read a disclaimer like that at the beginning. Just say its "unfinished" and leave it at that. I also felt like the characters all looked like that Sasuke guy from Naruto... and I hate Naruto so no bonus points there.

Hoping you'll take it down a notch next time and be a bit more humble. Artists shouldn't have egos, because if they already think theyre such hot shit then they'll never get better.

Good for a second flash!

Nice original story based in the Zelda world. I was expecting Link to appear at some point but it was still interesting none the less!

I didn't know this was only your second attempt at making an animation! Great work for your second attempt (my second attempt was much worse lol) My favorite thing about this was the use of color- very vibrant and you chose lots of great purples and stark contrasts that really remind me of the majora's mask art style. I also loved the cinematic camera angles- you really have an eye for setting the mood in that way.

The thing that bothered me the most was the character animation. If seems like nearly all of this was tweened. In some places that works just fine but in others it looks very awkward. I used to only tween when I first started using flash but after reading some books on traditional 2D animation I realized that frame by frame animation is MUCH more effective and much less restrictive. Try learning some frame by frame techniques and implimenting that into the tweening techniques that work well in your animations.

Thanks for sharing this! :D

Yeah I wanted to have the charcters try to hold their own without Link because I really admire them :) So far I am incredibley grateful for the constructive comments I've recieved about this, especially from and artist that inspires me such as you. Yeah this wouldn't have made it without the darkness of major that I love so much. The most that I could ask is that people want to revisit the game after this.

You know you are absolutely right! Frame by frame is my logical next step, so maybe you could pm me some pointers on where to begin with that. haha I sure love to throw that camera around. ffex is showing me how to make it less squishy, thank you for your review :)

lol

That girl is a hoe...

Sorry, most girls wouldn't do that.

But beyond the far fetched story it was really good. Great backgrounds and the characters were really appealing. Good work as always :)

Great work!

You're a very talented animator!
All this needs is some polishing. A few more inbetweens would help in some of the "jumpy" areas, but your timing and use of squash and stretch is very appealing!

I'm also not a fan of the soundtrack. I actually found it somewhat distracting.
But overall, great work! Polish this and it could be a portfolio piece!

This is what life is really like- if you don't like it then take the route Jerry took haha
