According to the popular YouTube channel (best known for documenting long-lost video game history), its recent <strong>Heroes of Hyrule<\/strong> video received a copyright strike.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Nintendo has removed our Heroes of Hyrule video from YouTube. This was a journalistic video documenting a game that Retro Studios pitched to Nintendo nearly 20 years ago. This is an attempt by a large corporation to silence whatever journalism they don&#8217;t like, and a slap in the face for video game history preservation. We are exploring all available options to restore the video.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Did You Know Gaming&#8217;s research revealed Heroes of Hyrule was styled like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gba\/final_fantasy_tactics_advance\">Final Fantasy Tactics<\/a>, and would have been focused on three heroes who were tasked with rescuing Link. In the end, Nintendo rejected Retro&#8217;s pitch before any gameplay prototype could be completed.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2022\/06\/another-popular-youtube-channel-pulls-nintendo-music-after-500plus-copyright-claims\">isn&#8217;t the first time we&#8217;ve seen a copyright strike like this<\/a> and there&#8217;s nothing stopping companies from issuing copyright claims in these sorts of scenarios.
