Jared is better :P

[1crazykoala]

oh destin, how we miss u

[dcel8]

This guy looks like the Irate gamer, must be cousins

[sexybutts7]

Destin is a dooshbag!

[simozonelayer]

alternate take on destin intro: watch?v=OoU7q87enGE

[cheeseypants88]

1:57 bad FK to IK switch on Link's arm over one frame, amateurish. also, when he's bringing down his sword, his wrist is probably broken.

/nitpick

[Tw1St3DSt33L]

No Destin, that was the lamest thing you've done so far. Who knows what lame things await you?

[ChaosJ615]

Happy birthday link

[jimp]

Thumbs Up for singing along Happy Birthday to Link!

[targetdemographic]

awww

[dodopoopinpoop]

So I guess nintendo really doesn't give a shit about link's 25th just like with Mario's 25th anniversary they treat it like garbage. UN-FUCKIN-BELIVEBLE NINTENDO!! You need to be shamed of yourself!

[libbyandtai]

Happy 25th Birthday Link

you have No FINALY Reached Your Adult Link Age

[GabeLaneG]

Personally, I see nothing wrong with paying people to post positive reviews online and saying good things. That is basic marketing. Paying professional reviewers to lie is going too far though.

[SwordsDragonsAndCoke]

fuck you link

[MultiRandomable]

@SwordsDragonsAndCoke fuck you zelda is awsome

[HoSKRevival]

@MultiRandomable fuck you it sucks except links awakening

[MultiRandomable]

@HoSKRevival ok play OoT, Wind Waker, and Link to the past and you tell me that zelda sucks fag

[SwordsDragonsAndCoke]

@MultiRandomable you think i havent? its pretty simple; 3d ruined zelda

and how dare you bring up wind waker u masochist!

[MultiRandomable]

@SwordsDragonsAndCoke realy? im a massochist because i referenced a game? wow faggot Ocarina of time is one of the best games of all time

[SwordsDragonsAndCoke]

@MultiRandomable no you are a masochist because u liked wind waker and an idiot cause you cannot even read my comment

OoT is over rated BIG TIME

[Hopebringer24]

seems like 9 ign employes watched this vid..

[MrArcananox]

Link owns....period!

[rayblack2004]

I cant stand Destin GET SOMEONE ELSE!!!

[SturmWolfe]

Two Worlds is actually quite good, I've played it for several hours. It's not top in my books, but still a decent game.

[ZeromasterLP]

the only review of two worlds 2 that matters is angry joe's

[DangerasTM]

@ZeromasterLP i think not angry joe i used to rezsxpect untill i realised he isnt bal;anced in his reviews he either hates something or loves it he trashed alot of good games cause he had a bad experiance or just didnt know how to play the game properly

[ZeromasterLP]

@DangerasTM not quite, he analysis the games for all it's qualities & features & rates the game based on how they contributed to the experience. I will agree that sometimes he gets out of hand but that doesn't mean he doesn't know what he's doing as a reviewer & doesn't make him any less valid then any other video reviewer out there. Besides, my point was that there are plenty of game companies who pay off the top dog reviewers, & even if they did that shouldn't affect how the game is played.

[DangerasTM]

@ZeromasterLP lets take shall we say....fable 3 the majority of shit he complained about were miner inconveniances at best or Alpha Protocal he complained that he couldnt hit anything cause he didnt understand the shooting mechanics or said sneakings too hard when he was useing noisy armour...shit like that led me to beleive he doesnt know what hes doing

[VVWEtitantrons]

@ZeromasterLP who?

[barakuda1111]

Thats what she said

[stoolpusher]

i laughed very hard at the birthday song and his following reaction

[Rogue257]

25 years and Nintendo has STILL never managed to release a Zelda game that appeals to me or interests me in the slightest

[jasamdomo]

@Rogue257

you are a very tough person to please

[evangelion243]

I liked Samus Bday better :/

[JimTimBro6]

@evangelion243 wen is it?

[HubbsTheThird]

I knew IGN been doing that for years now.

[jimmyboy2021]

Even if Two Worlds was getting honest reviews, its not like a review stating a game is great on the box or a movie is going to make or break sales. All games give some sort of positive review. What if that sonic kinect game actually said on their box "Game does not work with motion controls" yeahh right. Even saying something like 'This game is not good' is taken as 'this game is...good!' and people believe. Whatever

[Renkay141]

dats not his birthday!

its...

"Link He Come to Town" song xD

[Rosvolainen]

Zelda is 25? That's legen... wait for it... Hmm, in five years time her expiration date will have passed and Link will probably not even want to save her anyway. ...dary.

[rasmusmm]

I share birthday with Link.. I am awesome!!

[SECRETBOL]

This is info for nerd losers.

[glitchz1]

@SECRETBOL you my freind, are one of life's bigger failures.

[moshpitmachine]

@SECRETBOL so your watching this because your a nerd loser? you obviously sat through the whole thing or else you wouldnt know what kind of info it was and if you didnt then you simply prove that your an ill informed ass hat. so either your a nerd loser or a ill informed ass hat. i myself am proud to be a nerd who has probably seen more poon in a year thar you ever will. so enjoy you loser

[HermanAnimation]

Link is gay.

[Rosvolainen]

@HermanAnimation Why? Is he fifteen and still playing with legos?

[k1tsun31989]

Best cake ever. =D

[Electroguy1996]

I totally sang happy birthday to Link.

[canuckleful]

Taht was pretty lame. Of course in typing this I miss spelled "that" and decided not to fix it, so we all have flaws.

[ProtoSnake]

The King should give Link a kiss, for luck.

[macbookproization]

hbd -.- ...........

fuck face book

[Mustkunstn1k]

720p! FINALLY! Hard News is finally in 720p.

I noticed how Destin's face was much better quality that usually. :D

[dukenukem997]

Mabye Call of duty got fake reveiws and activision paid reviewers to always say that call of duty is better

[DaiAisuKatana]

I expected a better joke at the end.

[ky20855]

nice, Link and I share birthday dates

[AFistfulOF1UPs]

I moved into my new house Yesterday, ON LINKS BIRTHDAY!!

I also have a Triforce tattoo so I'm either really REALLY cool… or a complete dick.

[LadyKaellyn]

You have a beautiful singing voice Destin.

[MrDestiny80]

I hate Link, Mario, Pokemon, Sonic an most other Nintendo characters, not cause the games are bad but because they are addressed mostly to CASUAL gamers and ignore hardcore gamers / more mature themes

[Ons0001]

@MrDestiny80 That does not make any sense!!! And Sonic is a Sega character!

[anenue0]

If LInk gets tired of being 25 he can just play the song of time

[LewizX90]

Happy Birthday Link!

[saligari666]

sieg pipen!

[cruellordsoth]

Two worlds is going re vam the RPG first and 3rd person action game sorry link move over there is a next level of game innovation and its called two worlds 2...

[karasuat]

You know you have to pay a load of cash in royalities for singing that song.

[Fransinn3]

Watch Out Kid!!

That Angry Birds Cake is a LIE!!

[SogeKingDedede]

YES! I share my birthday with Link! Best day ever

[Oturan219]

I would prefer it more if you didn't do the pointing. The zooming in is alright I guess.

[Ibl33dGr33n4Life]

Hahah I bet EA does what topwear is doing to get good reviews for the constantly dissapointing Madden series haha

[Gaztinerag]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINK !!! :D

[giga0524]

Angry bird cake kid, and link get a birthday shout-out, But not Kurt Cobain? The fuck kinda shit is this?

[cowhobozrule]

@giga0524 Who the fuck is Kurt Cobain?

[giga0524]

@cowhobozrule google it.

[AirMan928]

@cowhobozrule *deathglare*

[blank139]

@cowhobozrule your joking right?

[cowhobozrule]

@blank139 No, Im probably just that stupid :)

[blank139]

@cowhobozrule he's the lead singer and guitarist of the band nirvana

[Chippermonkey33]

Happy birthday Link

PS That song is copyright, I hope you don't get sued.

[HubbaBubba9849]

wow, short episode

[fsmetal]

Happy Birthday Zelda. Thank you for so many great games

[41181131815239]

Link is my favourite video game character and I will be playing his games as long as they don't suck

[RelaxNplay64]

you have the voice of an angel

[ledawg1138]

Too bad Nintendo isn't doing anything for our boy Link. No special edition re-release of any games, no Triforce stamped Wii, no cos-playing people singing it's praises, nothing.

[Nobigami92]

@ledawg1138

no, they just have a new game coming out is all. it's no big deal... *sarcasm*

[ledawg1138]

@Nobigami92 The game's release has nothing to do with the 25th Anniversary of the series. So, it's not a big deal.

[zombiseatppl]

uhhh I'm scared... Destin was like... serious. For a whole 15 seconds 0.O is he all right???

[chetcheez]

awesome its my birthday today 2!!

[captainclayman]

haha coolest dad ever

and happy birthday link, you 25 year old green tunic wearing faggot.

[SpaghettiCatt]

One of these days, that camera is going to zoom out instead of in.

[UltimteLifeForm]

@SpaghettiCatt It did on friday

[RobotSlideshow]

correction, it's Links 25th so he's a tunic wearing "man"

[nschuel]

[BAB13100]

So, is Link 25 years old, or 25 years added to his age?

[kexxrulz]

@BAB13100 The Links in all of the games are different people :/

[thbebokg1]

@kexxrulz comment fail

[BAB13100]

@kexxrulz I'm aware of that. I mean 25 years added to all of there ages?

[wrja13]

Happy b-day Link 25 years of awesome gaming!!!!

[watercat8]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINK! LOZ FOREVER!

[ThicknSwift]

I hate both Call of Duty and Zelda

[xXbelmontXx]

OMG Happy Birthday Link!

[Falcovsleon21]

Hey Top Ware, if the rumors are true, you wanna ask the makers of Kane and Lynch how that approach to selling your game worked out?

[gamerguy2207]

Happy birthday Link! Hope to another 25 years of bliss and greatness!

[monkeylemur]

happy birthday link, you made video games what it is today... or at least 5-10 years ago.

[MrRayge82]

Happy Birthday Link. I feel so damn old now.

[TheLoadingScreenz]

1:36 Oh oh this video's gonna be taken down that songs copyright! :O

[ThePrimal1994]

@TheLoadingScreenz fuck the boy scouts of america. i will commit arson on them if this video is taken down

[ilovemadnesscombat]

@TheLoadingScreenz and I sung along, am I gonna get sued?

[escelante]

@TheLoadingScreenz

Depends on which version is being sung.

[lobstertrainfilms]

@TheLoadingScreenz Don't you mean "that song has been copyrighted"?

[ryan9169]

happy birthday link

now be a nice guy and give me another SS trailer

[TheManSand322]

The tune of Happy Birthday is copy rite material....

[1chuckman1]

Anybody remember Jess Gerstmann's review of Kain And Lynch.

This reminds me of that.

[xSUPERSONICx99]

Happy B-Day Link! 25 years of pure greatness

[eandjproductions2]

[greenblattsamuel]

Two Worlds 2 SUCKS

[Whiteranger93]

And it's my birthday Today lol

[EuroGamer360]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINK!!!

[Xidphel]

@OrangeOxProductions 98% of teens don't believe in christ.

98% of teens have tried smoking pot.

98% of statistics found in people's youtube posts are made up.

[Ryuzaki40]

@Xidphel 50% of gamers have attractive wives.

85% of Americans think that George Bush was a great president.

99.99% of what you hear on the internet is bullshit.

[lyelibi]

@Xidphel not funny...

[manfandan]

We shouldn't JUST be celebrating links B-day! Sonics in coming up....

[hayesman24]

@manfandan link is way more important some dumb hedgehog. link ftw

[AUBD0G]

@OrangeOxProductions Is that an actual mathematical calculation or are you pulling those numbers out of your ass?

Oh wait, I know the answer to that one!

[thevisualboy37]

Happy Birthday to the Legend of Zelda Series... and to Link!

"You're still sleepy, aren't you? It's your birthday!"

-Ariel, Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

(And cue the rabid fans telling me I misquoted or something.)

[xiocx1]

AwEsOmE

[kyleangus]

For the Legend of Zeldas 25th Anniversary, I bought the original on Wii-ware, Beat it, and cried...mostly on how easy Ganon was...

[xiocx1]

@OrangeOxProductions that just a dream.....

[Guncon3]

Giving a Thumbs up for Destin singing.

[superbowlbound]

@OrangeOxProductions Because Zelda hasn't had a good game since ocarina, its been a slow fall downhill. Also the wii sucks.... but that goes without saying (and before you comeback, keep in mind I don't play COD)

[harry426]

@superbowlbound yeah... Ocarina of Time is over-rated, and Majora's Mask and Wind Waker are two of the best games ever made. As for the Wii, it's debatable.

[superbowlbound]

@harry426 Yeah, its not really debatable. The Wii sucks

[ChrisSniped]

@superbowlbound Are you really fucking stupid. You're saying that the console which Sony and Microsoft had to make their own version sucks. You're basically saying that not only the Wii sucks, but so does the PS3 and Xbox 360.

That's a lot of hate in one sentence.

[superbowlbound]

@ChrisSniped Yeah, they made peripherals, which are very different. I don't really know how the two are the same, so yeah... try again

[ChrisSniped]

@superbowlbound The Move is basically a ball on a stick mimicking the Wiimote and the Nunchuck. The only real difference between the Kinect and the Wii is the fact that you don't have to have a control on Wii, which basically alienates handicapped people from the legs down, unlike the Wii.

[superbowlbound]

@ChrisSniped Okay... ignoring the fact there aren't very many handicapped games, its still a peripheral and not a console. I can't blame companies for wanting to make money, which they did, but something that makes money can still suck (see mac laptops)

[ChrisSniped]

@superbowlbound No, I mean that seeing as you have to use your full body to play the Move, it alienates gamers that are handicapped from the waste down. Even though there is the Wii Fit, there is just the normal Wii where all you need is your upper body.

Personally I don't have a problem with your disliking the Wii that much as long as you use some decent points, which you did.

[xLuCiFeRz]

Wooow. Who ever says tha COD is best or better than Zelda is a very RETARDED BEING with IQ of -1.

[laughingfurry]

@OrangeOxProductions

It's okay. Seeing how people tend to group critics, haters, trolls, jokers, fanboys, and jaded gamers into the same basket, it's very hard to find individual information on each. If I had a wheat for every critic people called a troll. Forget penny, I'm going lower with wheat.

[AceofShadow]

Will publishers ever realize we will always catch this shit?

[CaptainLuffy91]

best cake ever

[krystaldragon17]

Yes, here's to 25 more years of water temple renditions.

[laughingfurry]

@krystaldragon17

Too bad there's nothing similiar to the water dungeons of Link's Awakening and Link to the Past. Those were good.

[laughingfurry]

@OrangeOxProductions

Actually, it's 68%. The other 2% are people like me who have the tendency to use the comments section like a public restroom.

I admit, it's immature. But it's sure alot of fun if you're the least bit sadistic.

[DeadOmega]

lmao. "aw."

[dron233]

yay!

[BrighterThunder]

@OrangeOxProductions So, in a perfect world COD gamers are real gamers?

[SilverMoon1134]

How is Two Worlds 2 is it any good?

[tomakaze23]

@SilverMoon1134 look at the positive "reviews," think deeply of the "bribery," then you tell me you You "think."

[jasamdomo]

@tomakaze23

having played it, it's not that bad

[tomakaze23]

@jasamdomo I'm not entitled to an opinion, those types of games dont interest me. I bet they're good, but just not for me.

[NeverendingTwilight1]

It's been 25 years since the original Legend of Zelda was released? I could of sworn it was longer than that... eh... oh well. Hope we have 25 more years of fantastic Zelda games on the way.

[stevetheblobman]

@OrangeOxProductions < this guy right here is win

[pjb453]

i actually sang

[Zeldaschampion]

@OrangeOxProductions sad but so true....

[ChadzBeerReviews]

i can't believe I watched the whole thing!

[MetaWhiteYoshi]

When I saw link on the picture, I was like.

AWWWWW YEAH

[tiagoversalike]

Happy Birthday, Link and Zelda. :)

[superbowlbound]

@OrangeOxProductions fanboy faggot

[FireWing404]

link and mario are both 25!
