      In the manga adaptation it was given to him by Impa when she deemed he was prepared for the adventure ahead. But she didn't tell him she was going to do it either. She just walked up to him and jabbed him in the earlobe. I would think the fact that this caught him off guard would have sent her back to training him but hey.

    hey Scott I'm so proud of you for beating the forest temple without help and being resilient! I would never knock you down for using a guide but I did really enjoy your excitement and sense of achievement when you figured it out yourself. This is my favourite dungeon in all of the Zelda series too which makes it more fun for me. Have a great Christmas.

    2:44:20 Don't forget the game has a bunch of minigames. I don't think you've played a single one yet apart from the fishing minigame. You also didn't realize either that when you were a child the world was changing every time you beat one of the first 3 dungeons to get the sacred stones. When you finished all 3 some things that were under construction or renovation were opened up. Also a lot has changed going from a child to an adult. You should spend some time re exploring places you've already been including the houses.

    Mask of Truth
    Big Goron Sword.
    These 2 side quests are essencial to understanding OOT and Majoras Mask.

    2:00 - I’m surprised to hear that! I didn’t have the Internet when OoT came out, so I played through it without any guides and enjoyed the occasional point of confusion where the game expects you to try things out for 20 minutes before stumbling into the correct solution. But I wasn’t playing for an audience, so I totally get why using a guide might be a good backup plan after getting stumped. The new Sheikah Stones is a nice option in-game that won’t mislead you the way Google AI answers have earlier in this play through.
    16:30 - In Zelda games, enemies that begin with “stal-“ are skeleton monsters. BOTW has stalkoblins, stalnox, and more. Twilight Princess has my favorite version of this as a boss, so I’m looking forward to you meeting him :)
    2:00:00 - Amazing job so far! There has been a few times in your game that Navi has flown to OPTIONAL secrets that you can’t unlock yet. In this case, it was misleading you since it’s optional. Slight spoiler: you need a scarecrow fiend + hookshot to get to them)
    2:23:52 - I’m glad that worked! As others have probably told you, the intended solution was to shoot the eye a second time. THIS IS NOT TYPICAL for eye target. Usually they don’t flip back and forth.
    2:29:40 - Awesome! I’m so glad you found both solutions to that frozen switch puzzle. The main dungeon designer for OoT, Eiji Aonuma, was a director for BotW :)
    3:10:51 - Great work Scott! I’m lad you figured out this temple on your own. I’ll never complain if you use a guide, but I think the time spent figuring these puzzles out is very rewarding. OoT has a lot of “old game feel” to it. Getting only 3 hearts when you start a new life is a classic Zelda convention from the days where you were expected to spend hours collecting resources. It sort of made sense when you needed a signed game to last for months of playtime.

    A tip with the lock on. I don't think you've realized this.
    You can ONLY lock on to something when NAVI is Hovering over it and is yellow. It doesn't just lock onto whatever is in front of you it only locks on when your camera is facing it and NAVI flies to it. Once she flies to something you can lock onto it. The thing that keeps throwing you off is that you use the lock on button to turn towards your enemy then hold it as if it is locked on but until you turn around and give NAVI a chance to fly to the target you can't lock onto it.

    I love the lore in this one! I feel like each Great Deku Tree creates its own Kokiri, and the one that died at the beginning of the game, charged with protecting a baby hero of hyrule, made a whole generation of kokiri to look like human children just so Link could grow up among people that look like him. I honestly think that’s super sweet!

    Enjoying your play through, take your time with the game.
    Non-spoiler tips:
    •Continue holding forward while landing after jumping to roll
    •Short falls won’t trigger a roll
    •Far falls will prevent fall damage
    •Very far falls will still hurt
    ---
    •L-target to face forward
    •Lock-on occurs when Navi highlights present enemies in yellow
    •This system is still present in BoTW & ToTK without Navi
    •Sometimes Navi turns green to indicate secrets requiring a song
    ---
    •Continue charging your spin attack for a second power level

    1:57:26 Sir, you are not the Village Idiot ;-; Eiji Aonuma made insanely puzzling dungeons ;-; These dungeons are designed to have you scratching your head & wondering how evolved from apes we truly are, LOL
    It's funny, I have almost 0 memory of the Fire Temple next, and all my memories of the Water Temple are of me playing for days and days and then making my brother beat it for me so I could just move on, LOL
    Eiji knew what he was doing with these games, hehehe

    @Reegareth 27 днів тому +5

    The hookshot has many different things it can hit. Chests, Vines, Some wooden things(not all as you discovered), Hookshot targets, some torches, and ladders.
    The hookshot can also collect some items that are out of reach (Not heart pieces) such as golden skulltula tokens

  • @Reegareth
    @Reegareth 26 днів тому +5

    2:56:10 This was how you were supposed to be doing this whole fight lol. You just never realized it but EVERY time you hit him before this you just happened to time a swing with his attack perfectly and reflected his attack back at him instantly... I was face palming just a bit because you were winning but in the most Scott like way where you found a way to fight the boss that was like 10 times harder then the way that you're supposed to lol. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm glad you realized on your own that you can bounce his attacks back at him though lol.
    PS If you die in a boss fight it isn't really that big of a deal. It will put you at the start of the dungeons and most of the time the boss room is near the beginning of most dungeons. You don't lose any progress though you may want to go and collect some additional fairies if you're having a very hard time.

    Hey man! Growing up, the forest temple was always my favorite. I remember just wanting to live in a place like that, with the secluded courtyards and everything like you noted early on. Accompanying you as you puzzled through it for three hours was a joy, and you did great. Especially when you powered through and approached the twisted rooms from first principles to figure them out. Thanks for sharing. Also, this is the Perfect game to play right before revisiting BotW ;) I might have to do the same.
    (Also if I may, I know others have said as much, but getting lost and feeling out of one's depth in a classic OoT Zelda dungeon is such a treasure in itself. Just take your time and enjoy the atmosphere. The music in this game is something special)

  • @juegocurioso
    @juegocurioso 12 днів тому +1

    I am so really happy that you didn't use a guide and resolved it by yourself! Doing it that way You got the really experience of the game. Yo can get a lot frustation trying to resolve things but when you resolve them, the feeling you get is amazing!! That's how games are meant to feel. In the other hand, if you use guides, you are following the steps of another gamer, so in those cases, you are actually NOT playing yourself, but beeing the other person you read the guide from. Try to resolve everything by yourself and feel great when you resolve things. You will also become better gamer doing it that way by yourself becouse you learn and you improve your game skills by that. It doesn't matther how long it takes, that's the way games are intended, otherwase, if you follow the steps and indications of another gamer (guides), then why should we watching you and not them? Think about that!

    2:23:35 Dude you said the correct things so many times! Very clever way to figure out the eye but you didn’t even try to see if the eye was a switch! Don’t hate yourself, you did awesome but all you had to do was HIT THE CLOSED EYE AGAIN with your arrow and BAM 💥, twisted corridor! You had it so many times! But that’s what keeps this channel entertaining! 😂

  • @laurenw8990
    @laurenw8990 23 дні тому +3

    I'm at 12:21 and I wish so bad I could whisper through the screen and give you (encouraging) spoilers, LOL!! I think that when your hookshot gets upgraded to the Longshot later, you'll really enjoy the weapon more :') The hookshot is great, but has such a short reach D;
    I was SO excited when you tried to use the hookshot to grab onto the chest at the top of the tree! If the hookshot were longer it would have snagged the chest and brought you over. I wonder if you'll discover this when I hit play on the video? Hehehe
    I think you can use the hookshot on vines to shave off some climb-time too, if I'm remembering right. I should watch the whole video before I start commenting, but I'm so excited to see the rest!
    I had a good old sit-down reprimand talk with myself and reminded myself that this is YOUR playthrough, not mine, you know? And it wasn't fair of me to be impatient before with things like the rooster and Talon.
    You're experiencing everything, genuinely for the first time, and you need to discover the game your way and play it your way - and that means taking chances, making mistakes, and getting messy! (....Did I just quote The Magic School Bus? Maybe, but that cartoon was the GOAT, so I'm not even mad lol)
    Honestly, your first time play through with this game is a lot better than mine when I was a little itty bitty me. The way you somehow got Epona to jump that gate and the way you were able to shoot that chicken through the criss-cross wall challenge were SO freaking genius!
    Anyway, I'm really excited to continue now but I couldn't contain my excitement lol

    21:45 oh, I’m glad you’re not playing the N64 version, even tho I personally prefer it. The 3Ds upgrades are indeed so very much in the spirit of this channel. There is just a little too much of a classic 90s “F MY LIFE WHAT IS THE POINT I THOUGHT VIDEO GAMES WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FUN AND THIS IS NOT FUN” to a couple of the original quirks that they ironed out for the remake 😂
    (Still, Nintendo, give me a Switch remaster! Throw in Wind Waker while you’re at it!)

  • @mixedbouquet1
    @mixedbouquet1 23 дні тому +3

    There wasn't much in the way of guides on the internet back when this game came out. I don't remember the first one I ever used. I think it may have been Majora's Mask. But you would laugh at what the guides looked like back then. Pretty much all text documents. They have come a long way since then! Nintendo Power magazine had mini guides and hints or you could buy the guide books.
    Sometimes Navi will turn green and fly to a high spot. It isn't obvious why. I'm not sure if you want it spoiled, but at the same time, it could easily be something you never discover on your own...

    1:14:40 2 things Don't forget you have a View button on the bottom screen to look around with.
    Second is that you can draw an arrow with the bow without releasing it. Just hold the button down then release when your ready for the arrow to fly. The tip of their arrow should be about where it lands so it'll help you aim better. This works for the hookshot as well. When you've been using it in this video you keep pressing the button over and over and making it so that it stops short. You gotta just press it once then let it fly out if you press it again it'll instantly retract and shoot again.

    The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and most Zelda games have one solution for most puzzles, Breath and Tears puzzles have multiple solutions.

    Hey Scott, finished watching this episode. You totally rocked it figuring out the temple all on your own. Don't put yourself down so much about being the "internet's village idiots"...you totally have awesome gamer creds and it always takes time to learn the different aspects and hidden parts of a game. Especially one from the 90's (they didn't do too much handholding back then). While there are times you may feel bad because you may have missed something no so obvious, there are plenty of time (more times that I can count) where you have done expert level stuff in games. So definitely don't feel bad to toot your horn when you do awesome stuff! You deserve it!

  • @Rkay421
    @Rkay421 23 дні тому +6

    Now that you beat the forest temple I can tell you that the deflection method is actually the intended way I wasting to see if you would figure it out or not I’m glad you did. It was kind of funny when you said back in the off days when you would use the shield to party but for a lot of people this was the old days. Also you asked if the hook shot showed up in other games. I think it is in every 3D Zelda although sometimes it called claw shot Breath of the Wild and Tears of Kingdom was the first 3D games to not have which was surprising since they are a fan favorite item. Good episode congrats on beating the first adult dungeon with no guide.

    • @Seabasstard22
      @Seabasstard22 5 днів тому

      They said the hook shot was considered in BOTW but felt it would have made traveling the map too easy, the first Zelda game that was open world so they made climbing everything but Sheila’s shrieks and their insides, possible. That meant making you travel vertically to travel horizontal log distances via the glider so they added physical challenges and obstacles like the rain/lightning storms, and if we could have hook shot every surface we’d be like spider man in the 2021 game and we’d be traveling the whole map very quickly and miss all kinds of geographical secrets

    • @Rkay421
      @Rkay421 4 дні тому

      @ I always felt the hook shot useful as it may be was over rated and was glad it was not in botw or totk I mean it’s not even that hard to travel in that game with fast travel and paraglider and once you get the gale it trivializes it even further I never felt that traveling was a struggle

    Dude you're not failing. There's no "bad end" to this game.
    Also i should say, another channel called Lil Indigestion has been playing this about as long as you have and he only just reached the Zora. As in, the FIRST time. As a child. And if he and his viewers can have great fun fumbling his way through every nook and cranny, you have nothing to worry about.

  • @herezmikey
    @herezmikey 26 днів тому +3

    I am loving that you didn’t use a guide but I believe with that eye you can keep shooting it but great thinking way out of the box. When using the grabbing hook if you see parentheses outside the circle, then you can hook on to it.

  • @Seabasstard22
    @Seabasstard22 22 години тому

    3:13:32 remember it’s been tens of thousands of tens of thousands of TENS of THOUSANDS of years since this game that botw and totk take place we still don’t even know how far back in botw that totk and botw’s kingdom was established, its implied that some of the bruises in some of the games were REfounded after some major war or event that caused Hyrule to fade from memory to be reestablished like in skyward sword, in that game there was a land full of different races and that game was the first Hyrule kingdom but rauru and Sonia (possibly a MILLION years later - who knows the actual gaps between games) think they established it first when Nintendo confirmed it’s the most RECENT in the timeline. Meaning Hyrule gets established sometimes, deku trees appear in all timelines, and not all Zeldas or deku trees are the same.

  • @ribzer57

    Next time don't save after dying - that way you get to keep your stuff. You should probably save before major battles. I don't remember exactly how autosaving works in this game.

  • @mixedbouquet1
    @mixedbouquet1 23 дні тому +2

    Some switches do toggle back and forth. I was dying when you actually figured it out when talking about what to do. Then you tried everything except the answer LOL.
    I love the longer episode. And also how you are starting to think like a Zelda player. 😊
    I know a lot of people hate Faores Wind, but that eye switch is one place I often use it. FW can save a lot of backtracking. I will cast it in places I know I must return later. Then when I find the key or needed item, I can warp back. There's a particular spot in Fire temple that is a pain in the rear to get back to if you mess up the task. I always use it there too.

  • @Reegareth
    @Reegareth 26 днів тому +3

    2:24:00 You're gonna kick yourself a bit for this... all you were supposed to do is shoot the eye on the twisted hallway with an arrow again. You never tried it after you shot the eye in the main room and (that awesome word again) assumed that because one eye wouldnt open again the other eye worked the same. Just remember for the future not all switches work the same. 😅

    Great job this episode. You seem to instinctually pick up on the subtle clues that led you through the temple. There are definitely more complicated temples in OoT but I think you can beat them all without a guide, seeing how well you did the Forest Temple.

  • @SideQuestStories
    @SideQuestStories 26 днів тому +2

    Some really good comments down there, well worth a read. The main reason I'm cautious to recommend looking things up is that it could easily spoil an overarching puzzle rather than just the thing you're looking for help with. Good thing about the Sheikah Stone is it never does that. You're being a lot more thorough in investigating puzzles now which is great.

  • @TheWhitster21
    @TheWhitster21 27 днів тому +2

    I was very impressed you did this without a guide! Love the determination and it paid off big time! In my experience I thought the next temple was similar in difficulty with the Forrest Temple however I can see you get so frustrated with the Water Temple. You proved me wrong before but would love to see the same determination with the Water Temple but I think the Water was by far the hardest…not in combat wise but brain power wise. I’m going out on a limb and saying you’re looking stuff up for the Water Temple. No shame but very impressive today Friend!

    • @SideQuestStories

    A nice example of this version vs. the original, that first room in the temple where it zoomed to show you that chest up high. Originally, you would have just had to go explore the vines out of curiosity to go find it. Which to be fair, you probably would have.

  • @Seabasstard22
    @Seabasstard22 22 години тому

    In the area where you get the sun song I think (there’s a ring”of torches) there’s an ingraining or carving or image of Din’s Fire icon in the item menu, and it’s cause the medallions were originally going to be used items and each would’ve had unique ability to them like Farore’s wind and Din’s fire

    Ganon likes playing tennis as you found out. Interestingly, you can use a bottle to deflect the energy balls if you dare try it without your sword.
    Yes, you got that phantom Ganon outfit in BOTW and TOTK. At least part of the set.
    Most of the temples will give you a shortcut to the end. Being sent to the temple entrance upon dying is often a good thing because you have the chance to replenish your arrows, refill your bottles, etc. before heading back into the boss fight.
    You did a good job. Give yourself a break. This is your first playthrough, it's supposed to be challenging!

    You were thinking like a Zelda player when you got the bow and then used it on the Poe's in the paintings. The N64 version aiming controls are stiffer comparatively. The gyro controls on the 3ds is nice. Plus the quality of life improvements is something that I think may be the better experience for you.

    You also could have used the Master Sword to return Phantom Ganon's attack back to him. Also Phantom Ganon did appear in Tears of the Kingdom not only after defeating Gloom Hands but also in the Sanctum when Zelda revealed her true form as Ganondorf's puppet and in the final battle against the Demon King.
