00:00I owe all these creations on the theme of Zelda in part to my father.
00:04Today, I want to talk to you about my history with the Zelda games.
00:07which started on Super NES with A Link to the Path.
00:12But not as a player, as a spectator, or rather co-pilot.
00:16Because at that time, it was my father who held the controls.
00:19And I had a very important mission: to guide him through Hyrule using this map.
00:25This card, which I actually recreated entirely in wood to give to him.
00:28Well, looking back, I realize that it was above all an excellent way
00:31to make me believe that I had responsibilities.
00:34And it worked.
00:36I must have been between 4 and 5 years old at that time,
00:38We used to ask ourselves fewer questions about the time spent in front of screens.
00:42But above all, without realizing it, I was discovering a whole new world
00:45who would accompany me for decades.
00:47These characters, these enigmas, these objects.
00:49And of course, that music.
00:51These few notes that I only need to hear today are enough to take me straight back to my childhood.
00:55And then in '98, I was 10 years old, and this time, I was the one who broke the peace.
01:00Controller in hand, I discover Ocarina of Time.
01:03And at that point, it's difficult to explain what I felt.
01:05And above all, this feeling of experiencing something much bigger than just a video game.
01:10I could talk to you for hours about Ocarina of Time,
01:13But many others have already done it, and probably better than me.
01:16What I can tell you is that this game profoundly impacted my imagination.
01:20And then I grew up, just like the Zelda universe, which kept expanding.
01:23So no, I haven't played all the episodes.
01:26But it's not a big deal.
01:27It's actually quite funny how you have to prove your legitimacy as a fan on social media.
01:32Simply, almost 30 years later, this universe continues to inspire me.
01:36And when I look at all the creations I've made in the last few months,
01:39I realize one thing.
01:40In the end, I never really left Hyrule.
01:43Today, I am a father myself.
01:45And I can do with my children what my father did with me.
01:48Just to give them a few minutes or a few hours to discover this world.
01:52Share an adventure or solve a puzzle together.
01:54So I'm still the one holding the controller.
01:56And paper maps no longer exist.
01:59Perhaps these moments will not have the same impact on them as they had on me.
02:02And that's okay.
02:03Because deep down, what I want to convey is not simply a video game.
02:07It's this desire to imagine, explore, or create things.
02:10To pick up a branch in a forest and imagine holding a legendary sword.
02:14Or spending hours crafting an object that only exists in a game.
02:17Simply for the pleasure of seeing it become real.
02:20And I believe there is no age limit for experiencing that.
02:22So yes, my Zelda storyline is coming to an end.
02:25There are still a lot of things I would like to create around this universe.
02:29And believe me, I haven't said my last word with this license.
02:32But today, I simply wanted to thank this franchise.
02:35For memories, for the imagination.
02:37And above all, for those moments spent with my father, which I can now share with my children.
02:42So, have fun everyone.
02:43In the meantime, I'm going to play a little.
