It was such a pivotal game to me that I remember reading the instruction manual for the first time

I had to like grow up a little bit to finally understand Ocarina of time. I got it Christmas of 2000. It had already been out for a while by that point. I was in second grade. My mom randomly bought it, she had no idea what type of games to buy me she just bought one that looked cool I guess. I didn't start playing it till fall 2001 because I got stuck in the first room of the Deku tree. I would just walk around the Lost Woods assuming that somewhere in there I can find another way out of the forest. I was also afraid of spiders so I couldn't go through the Deku tree. So I left the game go for about 10 months which in childhood time is forever. Then in fall 2001 I realized I could jump through the central web in the Deku Tree. Then it was pretty straightforward until I got stuck at the water temple for a year. I gave up. I always do look back to playing the game right after I got it though where I was afraid to go into the Deku tree. For like 2 weeks I would just explore the Lost Woods randomly thinking that eventually I can find a way out. You would find those areas that led to Goron City or Zora's domain but you couldn't get by the obstacle. The game seemed so vast. I assumed that once you got out of the forest you could go right into the castle and just start talking to the king of Hyrule. Now the game seems so small but I remember that feeling of wonder

Thank you!

You deserve a lot more subs. This was great.

I played this game alot when it was free.. But at a certain time you had to pay to continue I never did but it made me sad...

I can’t get this game bc I don’t have money bro😭

the game reminds me of a book and movie called “white bird”

Ok lol

My old school was full of bullies and the reasons often were because I was ginger haired. Often they would choke me in water or throw my food to the garbage. Jesus, that kid had a worse situation than me I feel really bad.

I feel bad for this child, he suffering through racism and bullying. Like not every German is like that, and y'all should know that.

Do you have to pay to play this game?

I rememeber when OoT released, it was magical. But I did have some issues! Being the prequel to ALttP, we all knew Ganondorf would get the Triforce. But the plot twist that Link pulling out the Master Sword was what caused this to happen was amazing. Likewise, the second Triforce plot-twist was timeless: The Triforce split when Ganondorf touched it. This was different than what ALttP suggested, where Ganon wanted to break free, while holding the entire Triforce. The problem was, you beat OoT and Ganon is sealed away with just one piece of the Triforce. He cursed the descendants of the Sages and Zelda, clearly directed at the story of ALttP. But one piece of Triforce is not the same as all 3 pieces when breaking the seal in ALttP. This was hair pulling madness for fans at the time. Until Wind Waker became the new the sequel to OoT, and the Downfall defeat Timeline reversed the effects of that one plot-twist, and restore the original Zelda continuity.

Great video. This hit the feels a bit. Hehe To me there is a little meaning of "we all must grow up and see the darker side of the world" when playing this game. I played this game when I was 14 years old. It definitely a VERY important time of my life and this game really put a lot of things into perspective. It's not just easily one of the GREATEST GAMES OF ALL TIMES, but like you said, the nostalgia of it really hits. I will never stop playing this game. I do put it away for sometime but every now and then I start new file and go back at it again! Hehe. Once again, thanks for your video.

This is an amazing video on Ocarina of Time this along with Good Blood’s video makes me appreciate the game more than ever!

This game broke my heart

What the fuck is an Ocareener?

I wasn’t alive when oot came out, my brother had gotten the collectors edition for GameCube and that was my first experience with the game. Around then I put myself in the shoes of young link because I was close in age and Mat pats canonical height of link. Now I look back after school, after my childhood, watching this while clicking away working at my computer. Your words cut deep almost reading my subconscious on how I feel with this game. I always wish I could go back and play this game with my brother for the first time, time flies

Too many video essays at this point.

Wow. All I can say is wow. And thank you.

This was such an interesting, well put together, and beautiful video. If you keep up this kind of content, I have no doubt you will have 50,000 subscribers by the end of the year. Kudos

I had to get off my bike and shed a tear at this. Thank you for such a beautifully written and heartfelt eulogy of ocarina, and your optimistic yet fair analysis of nostalgia. I will carry it with me for the next 7 years, and then some I hope :)

When i catch the teacher its on sight.

Fantastic video. I didn't play Ocarina of Time until after Twilight Princess and yet somehow it still gives me so much nostalgia. When I first played it, I loved it, but not more than other Zelda games, but as time goes on I keep coming back to it more than any other game.

Truly inspiring and wonderful. I can connect with all you said. 34 years old now. And I think you described it perfectly. Nostalgia, looking back, passing of time & changes. Wow!

This is hands down the greatest Ocarina of Time video I’ve ever watched . Thank you so much for putting the work in to creating this masterpiece. I’m 33 now, I beat this game as an 8 year old and it’s always been my favourite game due to how it made me feel as a young boy, thank you for putting such an intricate perspective on the nostalgia this game gives so many. Once again best Ocarina of Time video on RUclips, thank you .

I was on my lunch break and just looking for something to watch and I saw this and thought “Another ocarina of time retrospective wouldn’t hurt” and I ended up sobbing. You so easily conveyed into words just how much this game still means to me, what I think and what I feel every time I remember it, this video essay is amazingggg

I’ve seen nearly every video essay of this game and just when I thought there was nothing left to say or hear about Ocarina of Time…this is one of the best video essays I’ve seen on this seminal game. Fantastic work. I hope this reaches far and wide

Nice vid, you gave some uniqueness to the topic of everyone praising this game and just calling it the perfect experience and the perfect videogame etc.

Oot is probably the most important game to me. My and my only girlfriend broke up and after 7 years we got back together and have been for 3 years now Oot 7 years skip was the only thing I could think off. I feel like we are the same. She's no different to me as when we were teenagers. Now we are almost both 30 and still as nerdy together as ever.

great work man this video was awesome

This was a beautiful omage to ocarina of time and how it means so much to so many thank you for you elegant video

If you are an adult and you have never played OoT, don't bother testing it because it's too late for you (unless you understand what it's about after watching this video), give it to your children, your nephews or your friends kids, they will benefit much more from it than you! Thanks to this video I see why a lot of people have trouble understanding why this game is one of the best games ever created (in the top 3 without hesitation), how lucky I was to play it when I was a child!

The water temple only sucks if you suck.

Brilliant video, thank you. I’m so grateful to have been a child when this game came out and to grow up with the endless, treasured memories it gave me. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone discuss the meaning games have to us in such an eloquent way. And as someone who has spent a huge part of their professional career as a creative fighting to prove nostalgia has a deeper, more important place in our lives than just wanting to go back- thank you for exploring the many angles of this sort of dreamlike topic. I have been a gamer all my life but Ocarina of Time is the only game I regularly make time to replay, probably at least once a year and now that I’m in my thirties, I can’t imagine any game that will ever mean as much to me.

One of the best video essays ive seen in a while, even if I only played Ocarina of Time for the first time within the last 7 years... hmm....

This game is🗑️ especially compared to the original

Very well written and edited video. You really capture the essence and messages of Ocarina of Time by eloquently explaining the themes and plot. That is no easy feat and I applaud you good sir!

I am so glad to see that you are a mature enough person to recognize that you love this game for where it took place in your life. I must say, I usually walk away from an OoT video with a great annoyance at the author and especially the comments, who all seem frustratingly blind to what they are recalling. The game is not interesting because its the best thing ever made and it should be pushed on people like gamer evangelization, its interesting because the story it tells is relevant to the generation that played it...its just sad that the hardcore fans of that game in particular seemingly cant understand that you can replay the game but you cant replay your childhood, its better to leave it as it is and learn to make new memories.

This video popped up at incredible timing for me. I’ve been ruminating on nostalgia and zelda whilst trying to come to terms with not enjoying totk as much as I expected to. Thank you for creating this incredibly beautiful take on oot. It gave me a new perspective on myself as well as the game!

One night, before i opened the door of time, i had a nightmare that it housed a freaky monster

Just had a thought I'm not sure if I've seen mentioned anywhere before but... The master sword is a metaphor for the OoT N64 cartridge, when young Link takes the sword out of the pedestal he becomes an adult. When adult Link puts the sword back into the pedestal, he is putting the cartridge back into the console to become a kid again. There was one day we took the cartridge out to put away our childish things and grew up, but we can still put the cartridge back in and become a kid again, if only briefly and still with our adult baggage, but it's always still there... Crap I just finished the video!

This game means so much to and yeah the water temple is actually awesome especially if you play the remake I wanna make a video this game as well

Amazing video

"In the blink of an eye, 7 years passed.." Yeah, it goes just that fast too.

I’m not crying, you are.

I'll sit by the fire and share my nostalgic story with you *sips his beer* As a kid born in 93 I was a little young and not really good enough to beat OoT. That being said, I still rented it from the local movie gallery nearly every week. My brother who is 10yrs older used to get mad for always renting the same 2 games. OoT and smash. I played the heck out of that game. I watched my brother beat 1st 2 dungeons and I did all the exploring in-between. He never could figure out Lord jabu-jabu's puzzle with where to put princess rito. At some point, I stopped renting the game because he wanted to explore other games. We never beat it. Years later my mom was at Jake's flea market, and she saw the game and picked it up for me for like $5. I believe I was now about 12 or 13 old and so excited to be reconnected to the game after a handful of years. Let me tell you that I beat lors jabu jabu. My mind was absolutely blown to the maximum when I realized there was master sword and pulling it made you an adult. I have never experienced something like that again. That has been a quest at this point in my life. Trying to discover something so mind blowing. Nothing has and nothing will. OoT is untouchable in that way to me. Of course I proceeded to beat the game. What an absolute pleasure. I've played some fantastic games that I really love but OoT hands down takes the cake, and that's probably all thanks to my mom being an avid flea market goer. What a steal she got that day. Thanks mom!

Greatly written (so much so that this is the first time in probably a *long* time that I've commented, lol). Now I wanna talk about my own nostalgia for the game (in a video), because I know I've got quite the story to tell. It allows me to hold onto the memories of someone who I would otherwise love to completely forget about, as well as practically help save me from a toxic friendship (all the credit can't go to OoT there, but it certainly helped with forming the cracks). It's amazing what the game has done for me in the past 25 years, so much so that I can't even properly comprehend it all. One thing I will say is that I imagine Link is rather lonely to a degree on his journey, given MM and his adventures and such (especially since, from an in-game perspective, practically all of his accomplishments are erased), and maybe I'm just spitballing the idea, but I feel a somewhat connect to that as two of my favourite characters in gaming ever are Navi and Kaepora Gaebora. *Maybe* it's just the child-like naivety in me talking, but I've never truly been able to see them the same way as most others seem to see them - and to me, they seem like friends watching out for you.

This is criminally underwatched. Beautiful piece with a truly unique take on this game!
