Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask have such a fairy-tale/storybook quality to them. Your calming voice and narration style are perfectly suited for these stories. Thoroughly enjoyed the video. 👍
You're right. Ocarina's the storybook version, Mask is the Fairy-tale version. And by those, I'm referring to the difference between the Classic versions and the modern versions. Fairy tales used to be much, much darker than they are nowadays.
I never really thought about how lonely it must have been for Link during his adventures in OoT. His old life is gone and he can't go back. So many years lost with only more loss to show for it. When he finally wakes up, it must feel like a race against the clock to restore what was lost only for the new friends he's made along the way to forget him when he gets to go back to being a child, probably with some PTSD and some abandonment issues.
He comes back from boarding school, and when his childhood crush comes to meet him at the station, she is a crossdressing ninja who vaguely tells him to go to this countryside city because she heard if you dig up a grave there a ghost will give you a harpoon and harpoons are the best way to deal with broken staircases so he can save his other childhood crush, who is 50 or something but still looks like a child
27:12 - 27:25 A panini doesn't have to be baked and is generally more sandwich shaped whereas a calzone is baked, generally with pizza topping. Like, a folded pizza. ... I found your videos a few days ago and absolutely love them. I love the storytelling and lore, and the simple fact you put feeling and effort into your reading. Even videos I don't have prior knowledge on (like Bayonetta or Ori), I can just sit down and listen to and feel motivated to keep listening.
I found you a couple of days ago through your Horizon: Zero Dawn videos and just finished my binge of all your stuff. It's a crime more people don't know about you but it looks like your channel has just gotten traction, so congrats!
This is the first game I ever got into heavy. Played start to finish countless times growing up, and I feel so lucky to experience the growth of games through a golden age
17:41 it has been 25 years and I am just now learning you can jump the side walls out of the ranch? Every single time I’ve played this game, I jumped the gate that Ingo closed on me. 47:32 I busted up laughing at “CURSE YOU… Lnik!”
This is definitely a hidden gem youtube channel that deserves to blow up. I've watched almost all of your back catalogue in the last few days and I'm continually impressed with the quality of your videos. I would LOVE to see you tackle Cave Story. I think that game has such an interesting and overlooked story.
30:30 If I recall, I remember seeing a video about how Bongo Bongo was the leader of the hylian rebellion during the hylian civil war, essentially the one who inadvertently got Link's mother killed (and likely his father). Captured, he was brought to the shadow temple to be tortured, interrogated, and eventually decapitated. His ghost haunted the shadow temple however, and unable to exorcize the spirit, the Sheikha sealed the temple and the spirit within it. When Ganondorf took over, he would eventually learn of this sealed spirit and used his dark magic to strengthen his corpse (thus its size) and also likely helped to weaken the seal enough for Bongo Bongo (idk why he's named that, probably a nickname made by the previous temple staff) to escape. He likely did this recently, probably not long after Link re-awakened, a contingency measure of sorts, he likely never expected Link to be able to travel between the future and present simultaneously. Tl;dr Bongo Bongo, considering the security used to contain him, was likely a high ranking member if not the leader of the hylian rebellion against the royal family. He was killed at some point, and his spirit haunts the temple. Ganon freed the spirit so it would destroy the entrance, preventing Link's journey. This failed because Link can time travel.
This is so epic like what a journey 😂 they need to remake this game in 4k Edit: also shout out to Ganondorf playing the organ 😂 what a badass he was like "I can provide my own boss music"
Not gonna lie, teared up a few times. The way you told the story was exactly how I remember experiencing the game first hand. Many, many moons ago. Thank you.
After about 23 years, I've had the pleasure of picking up Ocarina of Time again through highly unexpected means! Through those same unexpected ways and means, I've found your lore channel, and it is an absolute master class! I cannot wait to watch the rest of your work!
If I'm not mistaken, OoT was the first Zelda game where music was truly a major part of the title, and what beautiful music it is. Every piece has significant meaning, and is so perfectly tied to the area it debuts in. This will forever go down as one of the best games ever and is a personal favorite of mine.
@@Rammstein0963. I still get chills to this day at the Ganons tower part. You start off thinking it’s just a sound track and then it’s revealed that no, the music was legit part of the sound. You heard what link heard.
Of all the puzzles in OoT, and perhaps even all of Zelda, the panini/calzone conundrum may be the most daunting. Only the truest Zelda scholars dare to approach such a question.
Loved the video. Also, can we talk about Deadhand for a moment here? Far as I'm aware, he's never explained. And out of all the monsters I've seen in the series, he's easily the most disturbing.
The road of the hero can be a long and lonely one. Even though many in Hyrule may never remember who he was or what he did, we'll always remember his name and deeds. For he is Lnik, Hreo of Tmie.
So glad to have found this channel! Have watched all the Zelda lore videos so far, MULTIPLE times! I'll put the Zelda playlist on to fall asleep most nights now! Your voice is so calm and soft, it's a joy to the ears :) you really deserve to blow up, I hope this channel keeps taking off more and more. I can't even imagine the time that goes into these videos. Such great work !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been absolutely bingeing your content lately, subbing to your patreon only seems fair at this point, I mean this content is GOLDEN. Truly Masterful!
I enjoyed this so much! I wish it could’ve have gone longer because I enjoy your storytelling so much!. I’ve never been so into audio storytelling but damn! This is good!

I like how you listed off each event in a specific order such as leaving the Bottom of the Well off until after Link entered the Shadow Temple despite The Bottom of the Well being accessible as early as the completion of the Forest Temple.
Me: *watching this series of OoT lore videos* "This should be fun." Also Me: *seeing Link only collecting Heart Containers and few upgrades* "My inner completionist is shuttering."
I’m not one to comment on UA-cam videos, but I just needed to say how much I loved this!! I had to go back and watch your other videos. You truly make the story so compelling. I cannot wait for you to do Majora’s Mask (I really hope you do it’s such a great story and my favorite Zelda game 🥺)!
So many times in part 1 I keep hearing voice inflections so close to lydia in Skyrim it's super spooky. I've done zero digging. But awesome job. Thank you for making what you do.
I absolutely love the way you tell the lore of video games, especially the Zelda series which is one of my favourites! Your voice and the way you speak of the impactful story beats is so beautiful and I can’t wait for more!
Thank you random youtube recommend for letting me discover your channel! I am now a big fan and looking forward to more lore videos from you. Your way of story telling is amazing and it helps me know the story of vague games or games that i could not play. Time restrictions and responsibilities made me unable to play a lot of video games but i am still interested in knowing their stories. Thank you for your wonderful videos which made it possible.
Tiptoe, I really gotta say, your narration is amazing. I love re-contextualizing stories and this video really helps sell the immense scale and gravity of Ocarina of Time and just how dark & dire it can be. Awesome video, looking forward to so many more of your videos 👌🏽👌🏽👍🏾

Love this video. Your narration and ability for storytelling is truly wonderful. Having never gotten to play these games, I really enjoyed this as a way to experience the rollercoaster of emotions this game takes.
Loved this! Looking forward to the next. I missed the Livestream so not sure if you covered it, and didn't see it in this video, but you should check out the other way of getting over the broken bridge into gerudo valley. Use epona! It's a pretty cool cinematic scene. You can do it the same way you jumped over the fence at Lon Lon ranch.
What a great retelling of the story of Lnik, the Hreo of Tmie.
This needs pinned
I was gonna like this but keeping it at 69 would be so much more funnier
I was looking for this comment

Took the words right out of my mouth.
Ive watched this one like 4 times already.
Id say wind waker is the real story book. The repeated stiff animations and the pauses in between actions. It’s like a pop out book.

Oh God... you made me cry almost with that ending...

And what a masterpiece it was! I hope you enjoyed that one also

You just made me rethink my favorite zelda game, and truly connect Termina to Link on a personal level, deeper than ever before. Wow
"Lnik" lmfao that made me cackle everytime it was on screen
when you said " he so lonely so lonely" that made me cry 😭😭
This is the first game I ever got into heavy. Played start to finish countless times growing up, and I feel so lucky to experience the growth of games through a golden age

A hero’s gotta hero. Truer words never said ;)
I genuinely know most of the lores you go over already but I watch them all bc ur voice is so calming
Wow. This was so good!!! Thank you so much for catching me up!
This is wonderful, spectacular job as always and that last part eluding to Majora's was on point
9:00 Missed opportunity for a strike pun, "Here, he presents a game of baseball, if you strike, electricity will strike you."
I thought my eyesight went bad for a moment when I saw Lnik
6:35
Malon: singing a lullaby
Link: *whips out a bomb*
Nice touch using the old soundtrack for the Fire Temple. That song is awesome!
What a treat! I'd honestly listen to an episode of you just exploring the world and side quests in Ocarina of Time.
17:40 WHAT?!
You're telling me that's been an option this whole time?!
@@ViolentDetour Did you not think it was? Did you unlock Epona but never figure out what to do after that?

the first time i noticed the name was right after he beats ganon and zelda says "thank you, lnik", i lost my shit

Obsessing over Dark Link being forgotten, you made up for it with "Link is not a city planner. He is a hero and a hero's gotta hero".
