You are faster than Korporal K. Reep, a guy that is always one of the first making good comments, just a few seconds, but you still beated him, this the first time I see this become true, congratulations.
"And finally, the King of Darkness fell." "What killed him? The holy light from the arrows?" "Er, no." "The divine might of the Master Sword?" "No, not exactly." "Then what killed him, Grandpa?" "Blunt force trauma."

You can defeat Gold Skulltulas with rocks. I know this because one of the houses in Kakariko Village near the entrance to Death Mountain Trail has rocks by it, and a Gold Skulltula that spawns on the wall at night. Every time I start a new save in OoT, I always try to nail my Rock Throw to take down that golden skitter-skitter, and I almost always succeed. (Edit) 100+ likes? Thanks! Was it not common knowledge?
Oh, so that's why Ganon is so much more accurate with his attacks, and turns around so much faster after being hit in the second phase. I never put it together that he was targeting you. It's so obvious thinking about it now, considering he has to walk in a circle after being hit to face you again in the first phase..

@@FanofGuardianTales To be fair, Korporal K. Reep here has the funnier version of the comment. So I don’t think it matters if he was a few seconds slower.
Ganon: OW! What the hell are you doing Link!?!? Link: I'm killing you. But I could only find pots, so it's gonna take a while. Ganon: Ow! Ow! Stop it! Link: Give up Ganon. Let the sweet release of unconscious flow through you.
I think a more accurate depiction of that situation would be it going like this: Ganon: "Oh? You're approaching me?" Link: "Well, it's not like you're gonna approach me, dumbass. Now it's time for pottery dodgeball. And it's one kid vs the rest of the class. And you're the one kid."
This whole video just made me laugh. One of the most evil forces in the Zelda series, defeated by a bunch of pots thrown to his head. lol So as Ganon he was already concussed from his battle as Ganondorf. lol You have the patience of a saint. I would've given up after the first couple of pots. lol
You can hurt enemies with rocks too, the problem is simply that the hit-box of rocks are super small comparatively to pots, barely even 1/10 the size of the rock itself! Meaning, it isn't that rocks are unable to harm enemies, it is simply extremely difficult to accurately *HIT* the foe with a rock. Meanwhile, the hit-box of a pot is roughly the same size as the pot itself, which makes it relatively easier to hit things with. An easy way to test this is throwing rocks at pots themselves. So long as you are in an area where pots are abundant, throwing a rock is likely to hit at least one of them... Granted, in Kakariko Village, after you've gathered all the Cuccos in one location, it can be fairly easy to hit them with rocks as well (assuming they are bunched together on one small area). In my experience, the easiest foes to hit with rocks are any flying foes that come swopping down at Link from above. If you simply wait until the very last second before they hit Link to throw the rock at them, you'll nearly guarantee hitting them with the rock. However, there aren't very many locations within the game where you can pick up a rock to throw at aerial foes. Meaning, apart from using a hack/cheat to forcibly spawn rocks in locations they wouldn't normally otherwise exist, the only opportunities you'll get to hit flying foes with rocks in regular gameplay will be Dodongo's Cavern and Gerudo Desert. It is also possible to harm signs with rocks so long as they are signs that can be destroyed and so long as your aim with the rock-throw is good enough to actually hit the sign.
"Interesting enough, the second fight with Ganon is actually way harder than the first." I mean, that is pretty typical in games, even when you're not utilizing clay force trauma.
me too man!!! Like come on nintendo, do you not want to empty my wallet? I thought having OoT Ganon in smash would get us an amiibo at least, but sakurai shot that down.
They actually did make action figures of Ganondorf, Link and Zelda from OoT back when the game was new. I bought them. Sadly, over the past 20+ years only Zelda is left, and her nose is chipped.
Satoascorpion yeah, i’ve seen em. I just want ones that look a little less...wonky? a little polished and not just a toy, yknow?? They made a cool ganon figure for wind waker HD, an amiibo for TP ganon, so why not my favorite version of him?
@@spoon7053 I thought they did make new amiibos for past fighters with new looks. They made two different versions for Cloud and Bayonetta, one for Advent Children Cloud, and one for Bayonetta 1 Bayonetta (her default is her design from Bayonetta 2)
Brady Marchant they did that for Smash 4. In the min min reveal (i think that was the video?), Sakurai said that while some fighters like Ganon and Zelda look different in Ultimate, they won’t get new amiibo. So yeah, an official deconfirm. I really hope they change their mind, but i don’t see it happening.
Beating Ganon with a soup ladal and a pot lid! Fun! Yes someone's actually done that in Breath of the Wild. If you watch SMF Cartoon's there's a particular one where Ganon is trying to read a book and have some soup where Link is causing all these fights and explosions around him interrupting him. It's funnier when you actually watch it. I think that's why there's a soup ladel in the game. A programmer saw the cartoon.
The mirror shield in this game and Majora's Mask are really impressive graphics-wise. The reflections of the light on the shield looks dynamic, I wonder how the developers pulled that off.
Another fine video of absolute insanity. However, I can’t help but think it would have been even better if you’d been deflecting Ganondorf’s blasts with the pot’s smaller , more useful little sibling, the bottle.
7:02 you can hear the pain in his voice he doesn't even fear the light arrows or even the master sword anymore... He only fears the pots now no matter which timeline he ends up in he will eternally keep his fear of pot and nothing else even after losing his mind in the oracle games or being impaled with a flying sword or being buried beneath an ocean he still fears the pot and only the pot...
I really hope the lockdown never ends. Since everyone's stuck at home and bored, its the perfect environment to create absurdly difficult challenges over and over again.
IronMan: I have the most kill in history. I used a power glove with jewelry and the snap of my two fingers to finish off a tyrant! Link: Hold my Ocarina
i smoked a way too fat of a joint to be seeing this right now, i think the pots you placed next to you during the final blow really killed me lmao i remember struggling as a kid to fight ganon and you slay with with clay, bruh
holy crap, his little head-shaking animation.. I've never seen that. you monster, someone spent ages on the potting wheel and the kiln to make those pots.
Doing this must have been torturous, but the concept is quite interesting. I'd like to see a full playthrough of OOT where you can only use pots to hurt enemies.
I didn't think this would be possible, as I wasn't able to deal the final blow with the biggoron's sword(before the cutscene). I guess it checks to see if you'll have the master sword equipped, not whether that is what hits him.

It's a small glass pot.
I was always a fan of the smashing board instead.
Hope someone gets this reference
Could’ve used a bottle to deflect ganon’s orbs, it’s more similar to a pot than a sword
a bottle is a type of pot, right? you should have used that to bounce the magic ball back at ganon
turms spitzewerk
I was thinking the same thing: bottle for the energy balls, then pots for the melee weapon
All these years playing this game and I had no idea you could only defeat Ganondorf with a melee weapon.
