What a coincidence. I just dug out my older brothers Nintendo 64 two weeks ago and started playing Ocarina of time. I’m stuck on the forest temple right now and it’s embarrassing because I’m 24 and my older brother beat this game when he was 10 years old with no help from internet walkthroughs. Impressive, Rest In Peace Phil ❤
The Forest Temple is still my favourite in the game, potentially in the entire franchise. The music, the aesthetic, the atmosphere - it's a perfect blend of intrigue and just has an element of spookiness that hasn't left me since I first played the game when I was 7 years old.
Rip 🙏🏽
I’m so sorry your loss, I’m glad you have his old N64 as a way to remember him and be close to him
I like that the games that follow the Hero of Time imply that even if he died with regrets, his life was likely a peaceful and happy one. With Twilight Princess Link being both the Hero of Times direct blood descent and a farmer, it’s very likely that he settled down with Malon, and since he wasn’t a renowned hero due to time travel that means she didn’t fall for the Hero of Time but just Link, the fairy boy.
Although he probably became a soldier, hence his armor, lost eye and overall role of training the hero of twilight. Maybe he retired or was something like a part time soldier (So he was only on duty when it really was necessary) I like the idea that if he couldn't enjoy his childhood in the kokiri forest, he maybe even worked at the farm as a kid, made his new home there, fell in love with Malon and could enjoy a nice life there
Is never actually stated if he is blood related to the Hero of Time, since is stated that Hero of Time Link died in his journey looking for his Fairy and became that skeleton warrior as a result. He did that as a kid, so there no chance of him staying with Malon and continuing the bloodline, as far as I know.
@@MaskOfLimbo It's explicitly stated in Hyrule Historia that Twilight Princess Link is the decedent of the Hero of Time, who is the Heroes Shade. It's never stated how he died, and there's no mention of it being related to looking for Navi or the lost woods, and even then he's not a skeleton but a spirit, like those found in the rest of Twilight Princess. The whole idea started as a dumb theory by MatPat that has no basis in canon.
I kinda like the idea that he eventually settled down with Malon.
And now I'm beyond hyped for you to eventually get to Twilight Princess, easily my favorite Zelda game.
fellow Twilight Princess enjoyer
on wii?
@@Rasakson I originally played it on GameCube actually
Based, GameCube Twilight Princess is the best version
@@hardiergnome2 yeah, Wii version is annoying to play because of the motion controls
I can't remember the specifics but I think the inspiration for the Z-Targetting system came about when some members of the team saw a theatrical performance out in town one day where a guy stood in the middle of a crowd of enemies, the enemies coming at him one at a time and he'd just lock on to each one
For 1998 I’m very impressed with the mechanics of Ocarina and Majora’s mask. I been playing Ocarina lately for the first time in 15 years. I wish had a CRT tv. I’m stuck on the Forest Temple right now.
@@wattsnottaken1 The 3DS re-releases aren't too bad, but if you prefer the older style and look Emulation may be your go-to.
No, the act of Emulation itself is perfectly legal, it's moreso the acquisition of the titles to emulate that it gets into the weird gray area.
@@c0baltl1ghtn1ng I reccomend Ship of Hikarian. It is the entire game itself on the same engine and using the same assets. But you can make it perform a lot better like 120 or 60 FP/S. And it allows you to even play with a keyboard since you can customize what button is translated into which button. It is a very good OoT Emulator because you can even play in the original aspect ratio.
If you liked the theme of Link growing up, strap in for Wind Waker, easily the best embodiment of that IMO
Indeed, That Link tops out at what? 14? 15? And then has this crazy adventure where his entire way of life is flipped on its head?
Honestly, I was expecting Breath Of The Wild or Tears Of The Kingdom if you were to do a Zelda title, but thinking about it... yeah this is probably the best one you could've gone with.
Also, if you're gonna do any more Nintendo titles, I feel like an obligatory one is Super Mario Galaxy
This video taught me a new secret I never knew about this game.
The shadow in the water disappearing halfway through that room in the water temple. Have watched so many other hidden secrets videos, but never saw that before. Awesome
Mf really posted this right when I’m about to go to school
It's a wonder that you r going school and still know this 😅
Blud I’ve been out of school for like a month where are you from
I’m still in school too
@@nagol37my kids are still in school as well
Sounds like it’s time to skip school buddy
Every Zelda game has a very heavy, underlying tone beneath the warm colours and atmosphere that it shows. I love these games so much, not only was the gameplay fun, the puzzles creative, and the characters loveable, but what drew me to them time and time again was the overall message that each game tells. If you just skim the surface, you get the moral of the story. If you dig deep into the story, you find the life lesson that is trying to be conveyed. The harsh nature of reality and how hard accepting the truth can be.
Unrelated note as well, I love that you can see the downside of being a hero. Especially one that doesn't get any credit. You save everyone and have finished your duty, and yet nobody is there to receive you, congratulate you, or even spite you, as nobody remembers you. You did the right thing, but everyone you fought for don't even know you, everything you had is now just a memory.
My dude, you absolutely gave this game the love and respect it deserves 👍
Please do Majoras Mask too
Never even played this game and that intro song gives me nostalgic vibes
Great video, but I have one nerdy correction -- it is confirmed that the Hero's Shade is the Hero of Time. It is not confirmed that he became a Stalfos or got lost. That's an assumption that I don't think is supported, because Stalfos are just mindless physical monsters, not intelligent ghosts, and in any case the Hero of Twilight is explicitly his descendant, which means Young Link grew up and had a family (given the Hero of Twilight is a farmer, my money is on him hooking up with Malon).
this is true, plus he was wearing hylian knight armor when you find him in twilight princess. He more than likely returned to hyrule and became the official head knight for zelda. It would be awesome if they gave the hero of time just one more game showing his final days. Maybe end the game with him sacrificing himself to save the kingdom or something
@@mookiestewart3776 That makes my Zelda heart happy thank you both
@@mookiestewart3776 Well given just how beaten and broken his body and armor are as the Hero's Shade, it likely wasn't a very clean death. Dude was missing an eye in the afterlife. If we ever got his final moments, I'd imagine it would be something out of Halo Reach.
@@nicholasholladay-elser7307 I don't think the state of his armor as a ghost is all that indicative of the state he was in when he died, considering the shade is also like 8 feet tall.
@@Dragoon7485 He was tall but he wasn't 8 feet tall. Also even if he was, he could have gotten bigger as a lingering effect of all the magic items he had (things like the Giant's mask or Fierce Deity) or be a representation of his strength/will in the afterlife.
Never knew I needed this so badly, really hoping you do other Zelda titles my dude
After this amazing video imma need one on Majoras Mask next
Exactly man
Im trying to be the best shoulder devil i can 😅 i convinced him to do this one, so i think there's hope for majoras mask! Glad to see so many fans of zelda wanting more 💜 stay tuned for THE SAUCE 🤘
Now I’m BEGGING you to eventually do a video on Twilgiht Princess!
Still my favorite Zelda game hands down! Also I’ve been playing Zelda games since I was a kid and THIS game on the N64 was my first exposure to it. Great video!
The moment I saw this video, without even watching, I gave a like. I knew you would give it the respect this game deserves, and you did. Thank you.
I would love to see Majora's Mask or Twilight Princess!!! TP is my favorite when it comes to the whole atmosphere and style, and MM is severely underrated.
I'm another person who played Ocarina of Time, my first ever Zelda game, as an adult. It was the passion and praise from fans of the Zelda series, and Ocarina of Time specifically, that made me grab a Nintendo 64 online and, along with some of my old childhood favorites, buy Ocarina of time in order to fill the haunting void of time that started in 2020.
Seeing a review of what makes the game great from both a nostalgic perspective of an adult who was once a child, and an adult exploring the world for the first time is so beautifully poetic for this game. The children of the 90s and early 2000s get to reflect, while the adults who are diving in for the first time get to explore a vast world previously unknown to them, both like adult and child Link respectively.
Ngl, at the ending, all the feelings I had playing this as a kid and teenager came back all at once and seeing that end screen made me tear up a little.
Greatest game ever! So many awesome memories. I was born in 1985 so I was 13 when I first played it.
My dude! I love that you got to experience the masterpiece that is LoZ:OoT! I have so many memories of playing this game, reading the strategy guide, and working on the best techniques. It doesn't matter that this is the first time you've played it, I'm just super stoked that you can enjoy it now for what it is and what it meant to everybody. It is really a testament of how amazing this game is for it to have that much of an impact.
I was 14-15 when this released and it's the last game my younger brother and I played together before he died. I still have his save file.
OMFG YESSSS!
Had no idea i wanted this. Not the game I was expecting a video on any time soon, but im sooooo down!
What a great game this is! Please do Majora's Mask. It is by far the darkest and heavyest game in the searies.
Yesssss so glad you went back to this classic! Majora's mask would be awesome to see but there's so many Sony and Nintendo games from the late 90s and early 00s that would be awesome to go through like this. Thanks for all the hard work that you put into your videos
Actually, Link looked for Navi, but he didn't get lost. He grew up in those woods, did you think he'd get lost in them? He went to Termina, saved it, went back to Hyrule after having accepted that he may never see Navi again and grew up naturally and had a kid. If Link HAD gotten lost, Twilight Princess Link would never exist.
It would have been cool if your friend was in this one too. So that you're narrating your experience while he narrated his
35:44 That's a concept the first Bayonetta game deals with, too, just in a different way with Bayonetta having to care for her childhood self (something she didn't want to do at first, to say the least, but by the midpoint of the game, grows protective of her child self, so it's as much the first thing as it is Bayonetta growing as a "parent," for lack of a better word).
Fun Fact: Did you know that in The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time opening theme is actually Zelda's Lullaby backwards.
You're thinking of the Skyward Sword theme. The opening theme in OoT is the recorder sound from the original Zelda.
Now I do. Thanks
@@Dragoon7485 Oh
30:00 You missed that there's a Hylian Shield you can get for free if you go into Kakariko Graveyard and pull out the right gravestone to find a chest under it. It has to be done at night or else the kid will be a buzzkill and stop you if you try during the day.
I remember playing through this game the first time. Must have been something like 6 years old. I watched my older very intently when he played so I would know what to do when I played 😂
6:25 Imma be honest, when I first played this at 3 years old, this moment actually scared me so bad that even now 21 years later I still feel little phantom remnants of that same terror when I reach this moment again
out of the many times ive played this game, ive NEVER seen shadow link stand on top of links sword...this game is gonna probably keep giving details for years to come
Also worth mentioning, when this came out, if you were stuck, *you couldn't look it up there was no Internet yet*
Yessss I love all of this. Watching this made me nostalgic but in the best way. I'm so glad you loved the game and really hope you do more Zelda games in the future!
Water Temple: I realized by complete accident that raising the water level raised the brown block inside the center tower up a level, revealing the passage underneath which led to a key. The only reason I even thought to look down there is because I played the SNES version of Zelda, and a few of those temples kicked my butt... so I came to OoT well prepared to explore every nook and cranny of each dungeon... I guess practice pays off? lol
You did open Pandora's box, but not only for Zelda games, but older games in general. Personally I would LOVE to see You cover FFVIII, one of not many games to be overshadowed by its predecessor. But any game from our generation's childhoow would be amazing, bringing at least a shimmer of magic we lost and are never getting back...
Let me use this occasion to also state how much Your channel means to me as a whole. Too see a confirmation of our love for video games, too see that somebody felt similiar, was moved by the same... Not only it gives us some validity for love we share to videogames, it also makes us feel a part of a bigger group, not alone at all in awe for this amazing art form (YEAH I SAID, BRING IT ON PUPPIES, I'LL TAKE YOU ALL). I belive I am not the only one who grew up surounded by people so sure that videogames (or anime, sci fi books, comics, take your pick) are something not worth time, or something you should grow out of. Why would we though?
To add to FFVIII as a suggestion, I would also toss on VI, given that while it may be because it was my own first FF that I have that nostalgia for it, but I think it handled having a bigger cast better than VII.
In the words of the late great Satoru Iwata "Video games are meant to be just one thing, fun...fun for everyone."
Can't wait to see you review more nintendo titles
9:54 Saying goodbye to Saria. THE scene in the game, the one that you ever find the courage to move past, or you shut the game down.
That's another great thing about many Nintendo games. Their stories aren't extremely grandiose with multiple minutes long cutscenes. They often rely on masterful subtext eg. in Zelda games like OoT, Skyward Swordand BOTW (the latter does have real cutscenes) where Zelda and Link's struggle quite a lot with destiny and the like. Another example are Kirby games which have texts about bosses and other stuff in the Pause menu, which tell you about their backstories which can be surprisingly tragic
slight correction, Link is not the "the triforce of courage" he's the WIELDER of the triforce of courage, he is however though the embodiment of the spirit and courage of a hero (the one thing all Links have in common despite them not being the same person and have varying personalities and it's also a completely separate concept)
So I've never played this version of oot, the gamecube one, my version was the remaster/remake for the 3ds. I remember I was somewhere around the age of ten and my family and I were going on a vacation. We got like 30 minutes into said vacation whenever my mom turned to us and said happy early Christmas and gave my brother, sister, and I all 3ds's. My sister had gotten a barbie dress up game, my brother got spider-man edge of time, and I had gotten ocarina of time. At first I was super jealous of my brother for getting a spider-man game because I had thought that he had gotten the better game.... but boy how wrong i was, don't get me wrong I love almost everything spidey but when I started playing oot for those 9 or so hours I quicky fell in love with the game and made me so excited for everything zelda. I did damn near everything in that game and quickly moved onto others in the series. By the time I was a sophomore in high school I had played all the games and done almost if not everything. And I tell you what hearing the opening ost sent a chill up my spine and almost made me start crying. I really hope he gets around to covering majora's mask because I feel like he would really vibe with the games somewhat hidden messaging. And hell if he eventually gets around to covering all of them I'd like most others would be very happy campers.
I never played this either until last year and man I loved it.
Edit: this was my first Zelda game too and man what a game
I genuinely played through this game only a month ago or something. And it was my first (and to this date my only) Zelda game ever. And it was absolutely amazing. I did play it on a 3ds emulator specifically because of the water temple and the Iron boots. Made the whole experience feel very smooth.
I hope one day for you to do the reboot Tomb Raider Trilogy on this channel. keep up the good work
Credit where it's due. It's nice to see a 'Everything Great' video for a game released in the 20th century.
Happy 25th to one of the greatest video games of all time that I've played. To simply put it Ocarina of Time has had a big impact on my childhood and is forever etched in my brain in terms of the level depth in gameplay experience.
Right left right left straight left right. Memorized it back at release and never forgot. Also, the real purple ghost spins when the three illusions come out.
I beat this game when i was 9 years old, but a few years before that i remember my uncle playing and he was using a players guide for the game with step by step instructions to beat the game.
I didnt use the guide but i remembered parts of the spirit temple and the shadow temple.
I was born in 2004, so I didn't get to enjoy OoT when it was released on the 64. My family owned a 64, but it was sold before baby me could think, let alone hold a controller. No, my household was a GameCube household, and even then it was strictly Mario Kart: Double Dash (arguably one of the best Mario Kart games) and Mario Party 6. I didn't learn the joys of single player stories until years later on the Xbox 360 and PS3.
I didn't play a Zelda game until 2018, with Breath of the Wild. That game was so good that Zelda is now my favorite franchise of all time. It was so good that I bought a 64 from a second hand store as teenager and sat down and played the Ocarina and Majora back to back.
That was the late 2010's. I owned a Xbox one, with all it's high end games like Halo and [Insert Xbox Title Here](I don't play a lot of Xbox anymore, since all the good exclusives are on PlayStation). Yet the story, gameplay, music, and characters of old school Zelda made me wish that I had been born in the 90's so I could be apart of the people who got to see this stuff come out. This sparked a flame in me that has lead to me purchasing GameCube Wind Waker, Skyward Sword HD, and I'm actively in the process of finding a good version of Twilight princess to play (I refuse to play the mirrored map on the Wii).
I have loved every title in this series, all of them for different reasons, but that fact that playing these games on the 64 still holds up today will forever be an amazing thing to me.
Thank yo for coming to my TedTalk.
So glad we were able to get this video. So sad about his death at the hands of Nintendo's lawyers
It's so cool to still see people playing this game for the first time and sharing their experience with it! I'm glad you enjoyed it, I hope you play more Zelda games and give your take on them.
73 = “Roll credits!” Great video BTW. You rock!
YESSSSSS ZELDAAAA thank you very much i love these videos ive watched the GOW-R like 4 times
Fun fact, when I first had got my N64 the TV I plugged it indidn't have the right port for the sound. I had to navigate the entire Lost Woods by trial and error.
I know it'll probably never matter, but my recommendations of LoZ games to play: Minish Cap, Twilight Princess, Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom and Windwaker are all what I would say are the essentials.
Love this game. My first Zelda when I was kid and played the 3DS remake. Now I’m 20 years old and only 1/4 of the way though TOTK and watching the video while building a Lego Indiana Jones set. Some things don’t change.
For all my peeps who struggle with Dark Link, they're one of the few bosses you DON'T want to Z-target (unless you have the Biggoron Sword equipped, his AI can't handle that)
i was given ocarina of time as a little kid and I missed out on so much. I couldnt figure out that I needed to jump on the web in the deku tree and never got past that.
Grew up w/ two older brothers and the oldest usually owned all the games and game systems so he always insisted to be in the room when playing older games like Dragon Warrior so we saved in the correct way. When playing this game, my other brother and i weren't allowed to progress further than our oldest brother. While i really enjoyed this one, it didn't beat my enjoyment of A Link to the Past on the SNES.
Man this gives me majoras Mask flashbacks damn that were good times
43:43 I have to correct you on this. The hero shade in twilight princess isn't a Stalfos. You can see that he looks more like a knight of hyrule who lost his eye. So the hero of time was actually a warrior who most likely was killed in combat
Now you need to do Twilight Princess. TP was like Nintendo's love letter to OOT.
Yoooooo so hyped for you to do Twilight Princess and Wind Waker, easily my two favorites
Going back to this game after the Souls series really does just feel like baby's first Souls game
i’m currently playing through oot for the first time and after hearing about how hard dark link was, i ended up shooting him with my bow and realizing that at least in the version i was playing it never missed and i killed him super easy. still super cool looking tho
I was so close to the end of this game on 3DS and then i took my car to get cleaned and forgot it in the console, it was stolen and i never finished it 😢 but this video was very good, and definitely one of the best games of all time.
Link didn't die right away in the lost woods, he did have a family because twilight link is his direct descendant
The point about modern games is so relevant with Tears of the Kingdom, in a way.
With the final boss, you have to intentionally go into the fight extremely unprepared if you actually want a challenge. I went into the fight the exact same way I had done in BotW, and TotK's final boss was *absurdly* easy in comparison, I didn't need to heal even once. People have argued that "Well, this is a game meant for all ages, so it needs to be easier", but I feel like that just takes away from the experience. If the final boss goes down far easier than one of the previous bosses in the same game, there's a genuine issue, imo.
if you loved this, you might also love Tomb Raider 1 :)
it’s a decent bit clunkier but immensely satisfying to get the hang of, and it respects your intelligence with the puzzles. It’s like a whole game of OoT dungeons!
It’s also just as immersive and has a mystical, beautiful atmosphere to it that feels a bit lost in modern gaming. Worth giving a shot :)
Great video btw
I hope you end up covering Minish Cap. That game was my childhood.
So can't wait to see Twilight Princess!!
The ending always makes me tear up.
At around 35 minutes in, he was talking about the Stalfos. But he started one of the sentences with A. So it sounded like he said Astolfo and I was so confused. Like, he knows about Astolfo?!? lmao
You left out the important bit of the music of the lost woods, in how as a child it was a guide for you through it, but as an adult you must rely on your memories of your youth to guide you as the growth into adulthood has dulled your connection.
My deepest darkest confession in life is that I honestly never hated the Water Temple. Of course my first exposure was in the 3DS version so that may have played a part in it. That being said, I hate the boss fight. Due to the visual themes of the temple, I was convinced it was going to be a sea serpent type monster during my first play through. The disappointment when it was revealed to be just living water was huge to say the least
I am not asking you to do it today, nor next week ,nor next month, but in the future please consider doing a video on Breath of the wild, or other Nintendo games. Amazing video, as always. I love your videos so much. Keep up the good work man.
The first Zelda game I ever played was A link to the past But I never finished it because I wasn’t that interested but Ocarina of time made me love the Zelda franchise and is the first Zelda game I ever finished as I was amazed by everything The story, the music, the characters I really do love this game❤
YESS GREAT VIDEO
PLEASE
play night in the woods i think you’d love it
As annoying as the water temple is(the 3DS version fixes this issue) I love how it has one of the most badass Zelda bosses. Not the main boss fight. That one's annoying on both versions. But Dark Link is thematically the best boss in the game aside from Phantom Gannondorf in the Forest Temple and of course Gannondorf himself.
I've only ever played one Zelda game before (Hyrule warriors) but after this i wanna play more of em
PS you should do twilight princess, majoras mask and/or skyward sword cause i've heard good things bout them (and they look fun as hell)
Well if you gonna do the Story of the Hero of Time you might as well finish it, hopefully we see Majors Mask next or soon.
Yess apply the pressure 😈
If you do more Zelda game I would love to see Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword.
Twilight cause I love it and Skyward cause it's the very beggining of the timeline and reveals why it's always those 3 (Zelda, Link, Ganon[dorf])
Everyone asking for twilight princess. Has he played Majora yet?
One of my favorits,link to the past and the latest two
“My dad was shirtless, put on his bandana and beat the hell out of the king of hell.”
Is your dad named Zoro? 😂
36:37 still love the walking dead clips
Didn't expect to see this. Just when I started replaying it
I love this franchise
best franchise in gaming baby!
You should try the Master Quest version. They make the dungeon puzzles harder and introduce tougher enemies earlier on.
I've played Ocarina of Time 3DS, so I feel a good 95% of your OGs' excitement
I really hope you do more Zelda games!
The fact that this video is 45 minutes long says enough.
Being a PlayStation guy, when are you gonna do Bloodborne?!?! That game is a masterpiece, from the H.P Love craft inspired lore to the combat to each and every weapon being unique it's so amazing
Boy are in for a treat with all the Zelda games after Ocarina
I still remember the first time I dropped a fish in front of jabu jabu. But I can't remember if it was an accident or if it was intentional, I just know it was too terrifying for my little 8 year old brain to handle. I think I had to take a break from the game by started that dungeon
Oh my gosh the 1st boss at the deku tree
It’s took me 3-5 minutes to realize I had to look up 😂
This my childhood right here
Just a quick tip on the Shadow Link fight. If you use the megaton hammer it’s one of the easiest “bosses” in the game lol
Just going to say that nobuyuki hiyama is a major win
Didn’t expect this. I love this game!!
Next time you go to fight dark link , put on the iron boots before you start the fight
