There Be Dragons In This Episode of Tier Force Heroes
Posted on November 30 2022 by Sean Gadus
Tier Force Heroes are back with more exciting Zelda content for viewers to enjoy! In this episode, Gooey Fame, Corey Richmond, and Skull Kid Nico discuss all of the dragons and dragon-adjacent creatures from across the Zelda series. Dragons have a long history within the Zelda series; the dragons Aquamentus and Gleeok appear in the original Zelda game as bosses. Since 1986, western and eastern-inspired dragons and dragon-like creatures have appeared as bosses and side characters in a variety of Zelda titles across all of the different timelines.
One of the most interesting and humorous parts of the video is the discussion of the Snap Dragon, which according to the A Link To The Past instruction manual, are the result of the plant experiments of a “mad alchemist” who is never seen in-game. The crew also spent time appreciating the trio of dragons in Breath of the Wild, and the spectacular feeling that many players felt when they saw these dragon for the first time within the game. Gooey, Corey, and Nico ranked Naydra ahead of the other dragons from Breath of the Wild because it has the most memorable sidequest. The group also had a lot of fun with Stallord, discussing whether the creature was a dragon and having a laugh about the origins of its name. The dragons that the Tier Force Heroes considered the most iconic or memorable were Aquamentus, Naydra, Gleeok, Valoo, and Onox. There is sure to be a lot of discussion among viewers about the dragons in the A-tier. Five iconic dragons just missed the cut for S-tier.
