Looking at Zelda video games on YouTube was on odd mix of "interesting and informative" with "redundant". Sadly, most of the Zelda videos were top ten count-downs of everything from the worst bosses to the creepiest places in Zelda. There was a funny parody by college humor that addressed the fact that you can run off to gather chickens to get an item pouch while Ganandorf is invading the village and still get back in time to kick Ganondorf's butt. There was also an interesting video discussing whether or not the video going industry was sexist or not. The video was stating that the gaming industry was not, but the way they presented everything makes me think it is now more than I did ten minutes ago… But I digress. So, lots of top ten countdowns. Here was my favorite one(If I can figure out how to get it not here. If not copy an paste this url to see some awesomely awful Zelda bosses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5nQP96tQNg :))
I have found that the genre of a top-10 countdown is extremely popular no matter what it is that you are looking for. I personally find those kinds of videos to be sort of stupid, but apparently someone likes them. The idea that the gaming industry is sexist being discussed in these videos is what I find the most interesting, I like that even in a video talking about a video game there is that kind of cultural interaction and dialogue. I don't know if the industry is sexist or not... but it is very interesting that people are asking those kinds of questions.
I don't know much about Zelda but I do know it is pretty popular so I bet there was a lot of videos for the topic. The top ten countdown is also very popular for videos. I bet there are some parody videos for your topic as well.
