I can't decide if this is more hilarious than cool looking or the other way around. The cigar, the arena, the sheer absurdness of Kaepora with a huge humanoid body is hilarious, but the animations, the sound design, the setting, and how imposing he looks is so cool. And it's a well-designed boss all around.
When Kaepora Gaebora turned heel in the late 90s, nobody was expecting it. We all know Link should have been disqualified for pulling out the light arrows, but Vince wanted a new baby face at the time.
Fr tho, usually i never use fairies for these showcases but i got sick of that phase 2 laser instantly killing me with such a short visual indicator lol.
@@omanophil Killer Instinct did have a SNES version, but I think the version of the main theme here is from the original arcade version. It sounds so crisp!
Dude, this is the kind of stuff that the programmers had wet dreams about when ocarina of time was released! If they could see this back then, it'd blow their minds 😤
The moment I saw machoman owl, I knew this fight was gonna be unhinged. As unhinged as it is though, part of me finds this boss fight weirdly fitting, given the goofy nature of some of the Zelda games sometimes have.
I clicked on this for the ridiculous meme of it, but holy shit, this is sick. The music, the crowd, the environment, the CUSTOM MECHANICS! The rope bouncing technique is cool as hell.
Man i played sc3 first on ps2! Got that olcadan nostalgia but now all my ps2 games lost in thrown out due to a renovation in 2019 :( Olcadan is a chad. Kaepora ..... Is the Ultimachad! The ultimate human life form
Everyone’s talking about how he has too much HP but that’s the point. You keep spamming A which makes the dialogue drag on forever, and likewise, the fight also goes on forever, until you’ve literally broken the NPC itself. He cannot go on spouting the same dialogue over and over, his second phase is his last. By spamming B instead of A, you defeat Kaepora Gaebora through brute force, something players could never hope to do. Truly peak characterization.
It’s a Dark Souls 3 boss down to the slow moveset, abnormal height, and HP sponginess. I think they could probably have made him faster and more-damaging but lower-HP (kind of the approach in Elden Ring).
This is the real reason why the Gods made time travel impossible. If i had played this in the old N64 days, my childhood self couldn't bear to experience this level of unexpected satisfaction without it making literally everything else for the rest of my life seem unfathomably less cathartic by comparison.
For this to happen there would have to be two separate outcomes. If Nintendo bought Rare, the first game would have had to sold well, or if on Xbox the developers of the original would have not have been spooked by cancel culture as it’s the reason for censorship in Live and Reloaded, also if it was Xbox hopefully Microsoft didn’t ever fear of Nintendo attempting to sue because of the Kaepora Gaepora parody.
The character would of course look like something out of Conker while the transformation has movesets inspired as if it was by Ocarina of Time, the appearance may be a bit inspired by Killer Instinct, like he came from that world. Also Conker’s Other Bad Fur Day would be cool if they brought Pipsy looking like this, just look up yoshiyoshi700 Pipsy AU. I’m referring to the photo where she’s using her goggles on her eyes and the back of her wrist over her hip.
As a big oot fan holy shit this boss is pushing the limit of the engine, I’d love to know how he gave Kaepora those animations and how they made link able to bounce off the edges of the ring
Finally! We can get revenge of all the times that Kaepora had to make us tap the A button only to accidentally say yes just to make him repeat everything again. 😂
@@Duskaria oh, apparently the gerudo mask buffs your other swords to biggoron's strength with the member card (fighter card) So that plus the rope jump attacks should make quick work of him
I've been trying to think of a comment that could meaningfully articulate how floored I am by this, but nothing really does it justice. So instead, here's a list of things I audibly yelled out loud while I was watching this, in no real order: "Wait are those smash brothers sound eff--YO WHAT THE FUCKING SUPLEX" "Oh my god why is the model animation that smooth" "Holy fuck you can go off the ropes?!" "Oh okay so you can block hi--DID HE JUST TAKE THE SHIELD" "This soundtrack goes crazy wtf" "Jesus that is so insanely clean looking" "Of course there's a fucking phase 2" "Oh my god that light arrow dodge" "Fucking hell man, you're getting worked" "Oh thank god he's got fairies" "WHY DOES THE BIRD HAVE A FUCKING STAND" "Did he just FUCKING JUGGLE YOU OFF THE ROPES" "Is this even really a fucking Zelda game anymore" "WHAT IS THAT LASER SHIT HELLO" I probably forgot some of them, idk, I'm about to go back and watch this again.
I was expecting something similar to the final boss of Banjo-Tooie, where dialogue interrupts the fight every so often and your choice dictates whether the boss attacks faster or slower. How I was imagining it would play out was that every so often Kaepora would start going on some tangent or tirade, and end with a text window similar to 'do you want to hear what I said again' but it would randomly be either 'do you want me to hold back' or 'do you want me to go all out', but there would actually be two different versions of each, one where 'yes' was above 'no', with each choice setting the boss to a either a faster or slower attack state depending on the question and the chosen answer. Or heck, to really mess with people, have a few different 'speeches' show up randomly, with each one having either 'slow' or 'fast' somewhere in them written in red and have the whole speech be skippable text, and then at the end he's ask 'do you want me to act how I said' with the choices 'yes' or 'no', with said choices corresponding appropriately to whichever word was in the speech. Mind you, all this went through my head before I saw it was an owl-headed ganon-voiced buff dude wrestling match.
The ring mechanic is amazing. Also the fact that you control the tempo is awesome. No waiting for the boss to use a certain move, just hitting him as hard as you can whenever you think you can get away with it.
The fact this exists at all brings me great joy. What a good bit. What commitment to see it realized, what execution! This is the kinda passion proper AAA games can never capture.
Bro got tired of having to repeat himself every time we hit yes
thats actually his secret attack. Dialog Lock
Oh my gosh i cant tell you how i just wanted to punch my own face for pressing yes just to see his dialogue all over again.

Fucking hell mans been to the best gym in Hyrule
Imagine he said "do you want to listen to that again?" And then it just repeats like every zelda game when you beat the boss. Nothing changes
A wise owl saying "bro" ruins it for me
This is the price we pay for skipping the dialogue.
What in gawds name has modding done
haha ikr i feel like even in just this past few years its been getting crazy
DeComp changed everything
give us the best we can have
