An interesting thing about the Dark Link fight, is that at the start of the fight, he only attacks when you do. When you hit him more and progress through the fight, he starts attacking without waiting for you to.
@@nathang9644 Link: "That's correct your honor, I was attacked by my own shadow." Judge: "It's clear you are crazy. You're going straight to the nut house!"
The fight progresses either from attacking him or very slowly while doing anything else. So even if you're a pacifist he will still attack you eventually :(
Let's be real, the real reason Dink runs from Link with a fishing rod is because he's seen exactly what kind of shenanigans those with the spirit of the hero can pull if given the most random objects possible. Case in point? The heroes of the Four Sword with just about any of the equipment they get. - Nev
that, or hes heard the 'Legend' of Twilight Princess Ganondorf, so Dark Link overcompensates by being Hyper-Aware (instead of Distracted)... ...still dont know why it stops him from Attacking though...maybe hes also like RoboCop or whatever, and cant attack targets who are only "armed" with non-threatening objects...
@@rtyuik7 My guess is due to coding. Technically, when Link is equipped with a fishing rod, he is in a non-combat situation as far as the game is concerned. In which case it appears as if Dark Link instead acts as either Link's Shadow(if anyone notices, Link's Shadow disappears after passing the island that Dark Link is encountered on), or another Link entirely.
@@ILOVEKIRKHAMMETT911 Dink is a shortened mocking version of "Dark Link". It's honestly my favorite way to refer to them, since I'm under the impression that if you ever called them that to their face they would become incredibly angry about it.
Fun fact: One time I went fishing IRL, and apparently, no fish wanted to even get near me. No fish noticed. There was fish in there, I know that, but the fish just did NOT want to go near me.
15:29 "Hey everyone! Link here, back with a new vlog! Today I'm at it again with my fishing adventure. This time I'm trying ice fishing! Stay tuned till the end of the video to see what other crazy places I end up!"
I've got an idea for a video. What if you tried loading the battle with Ganondorf into weird places? Think it would be interesting seeing what happens if you beat him in areas nowhere near Ganon's Castle since the whole escaping the castle sequence is supposed to happen right after.
Imagine spawning him in Hyrule Field (though Phantom Ganon might be better for this). Imagine this guy just chasing you down to play tennis as you go about your day.
@@HighPriestFuneral A long time ago there was someone on RUclips who was known for doing interesting things with Dark Link. Even knocking him out of a Skulltula tree in the test room
@@lindseylindsey9200 No, the name of the RUclipsr who did experiments with Dark Link (if their name is Dark Link, I'm gonna need a URL cause there are several accounts named Dark Link and variations thereof)
The reason they don't work in Lava or the chamber of sages areas is because there is no water boxes. Water boxes are the physics that says there is water in the area and allows Link to swim/dive. It's what the fish use to swim in otherwise they just fall because they think they are outside the water. Water boxes are separate from water mesh you see on a map.
I loved hearing that Glover music in the video. It was one of my favorite games as a kid and I'd often just play it to listen to the soundtrack. Nobody ever does glover videos!
BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME TOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Seriously though I would’ve laughed SO hard if Dark Link also pulled out a Fishing Rod and started fishing too.
The idea of being able to fish in a bunch of different bodies of water would be a nice side quest in an OOT mod with different fish in different areas of the map
Is one of your "Signature crates" ALSO known as a SwankyBox??? 😆See what I did there? Awesome content as usual... your videos are always super fun/interesting for die hard zelda fans, well done as usual 🙏
The fact you did the shadow link room just shows you listen to your fans I was commenting thinking id never see the video and here it is. I also cried this morning listening to oot music on youtube and reading comments. Love you all
If I were to guess, it looks like the lure falls forever like that because the map you loaded has no water. It appears to select the highest water level (or maybe just the first water level in memory) to set the fishing water level, so with no water in the map, that level is null. Just a guess idk if you've gotten it to load in any other maps that don't have water.
I suspect that in the chamber of sages the fish DO spawn in but they fall through the floor immediately and are falling through the void forever before you get the chance to see or try to catch them.
PLEASE make a video on gyroids and what they are. not from a game perspective, but from a lore perspective. i mean, if someone saw a gyroid irl, they would be so confused. how can it talk? how can it dance? how can it hear the music your playing??? kthxbye ps, i know that gyroids are based off of those japanese statues that they put next to graves or whatever, but they can’t talk to you like lloid or sing like the other ones. neither can they dance
I noticed that the DEKU BABA inside the DEKU TREE when Link's an adult are giant sized, which is really interesting! I'd love to see a video about exploring INSIDE THE DEKU TREE as an adult as it always bugged me that the DEKU TREE wasn't accessible in the Adult Timeline (I get JABU JABU's BELLY not being accessible, but the GREAT DEKU TREE should be accessible like DODONGO's CAVERN) despite the fact that the GREAT DEKU TREE died with its mouth open, yet it is closed seven years later! I assume there may be versions where this wasn't the case as I remember a Nintendo Power screenshot that showed Adult Link standing in front of the Great Deku TREE with its mouth open back in the day!
So there's a way you can walk up to the fish while you've cast the rod like at 15:00 without cheats - it's not quite as simple in v1.1 or v1.2 of the game, where you have to dive at a specific point of the fishing pond and cast your rod at the same time, but in v1.0, you can equip the hover boots and cast the rod right as the hover is about to run out, and it works the same way. This is how you steal the rod in the vanilla game
It would seem where the fisherman spawns gives you a somewhat exact indicator where the maps 0 point XYZ location is. I would assume the 0x,0y,0z would be in front of the fisherman's desk back at the pond just to give you an idea. Still, huge missed opportunity for Nintendo to make a fish anywhere function instead of locking it away in just one map. And especially missed with the 3DS remake :P
This made me think that there is a miss opportunity with fishing in this game. There could have been a Fishing log to catch fish from all over Hyrule, but logging the location of where you catch them by means of bodies of water like a river or a pond. Too bad this isn't a thing. It would have been nice though. You would have to own the fishing rod instead of borrowing it. That would allow us to swap between a sword and a rod freely.
This was so damn funny, my favorite was when Link went fishing in Dark Link's domain, this is proof that Dark Link isn't totally evil, once he realizes that all Link wants is a day of good fishing he F's off, he's just like "ok Link if enjoying some fishing is more important to you than saving Hyrule i'm just going to leave you to it" 🤣
It's echoey and it seems the audio is also choppy, which you can hear in Link's voice. It almost sounded like a sputtering when I first heard it, that's why I was confused. After you identified what it was, I noticed Link's voice, too
Dark Link: You ready for our battle? Link: One sec man, I'm trying to reel my fishing line and catch some fish. Dark link: I- fear no man but that fishing rod, it scares me-
I use to use the Iron boots and and go into the water so just Link's head was out and could fish from there in the fishing pond. I hit it once where for some reason Link was sliding below the water just as the fish caught and I could still reel it in. So Link was underwater holding a fish. But that was the only time I ever had a glitch like that.
it is, in fact, surprisingly, vahl vajia. like for once, the pronunciation matches english instead of matching the spelling (like you'd expect 'vole') Though that might be because volcano derive from 'vulcan' which would be vahlkahn in their pronunciation, so..
Would've loved if Dark Link pulled out a fishing rod and fished alongside Link. It's like the only wholesome encounter Link would have with Dark Link Link goes to the center island. Dark Link appears. After a few seconds of staring each other down. *Link:* Want to go fishing? *DL:* Bitchin'!
Death Mountain Crater might not have collision for the lava, as the respond is activated just as link "sinks into" the lava. I'd guess the same thing would happen outside Gannon's Castle, and inside at the Fire and Shadow trials.
I think it's lack of a water plane/box. The lava areas have no water level so the fish/pond level is set to zero which is way down in the void (that or because there's no start position for the water, the fishing line goes down forever) Unlike Breath of the Wild it seems like lava is not treated like a water plane in OOT. :P
Any particular reason why you can't just move the fishing objects so that they're in a more accessible spot? (I feel like you may have explained this already but I don't remember.)
Absolutely love these videos breaking the game. I was one of the ones who suggested Dark Link's room too on the last video! Thanks for showing that, it was so fun to see.
Hey! I love your videos! In a future video, do you think you think you can explore the unreachable water and lava planets in Super Mario Galaxy's Bowser's Galaxy Reactor? These planets are different from the ice and lava planets you visit - you can see both of them in the distance at the top of the tower in the beginning of the level. The lava planet is massive with fireballs swirling it, and the water planet is just a featureless ball of water. I've noticed these planets since I was a little kid, and I've always dreamed of going to those planets up close, even if there is nothing much there to see. If this isn't enough content for a single video, do you think you could ever do this in a compilation video where you visit multiple places? Thank you!
Um, Swanky are you not aware of the trick to fishing underwater (its been awhile but I remember there was a exploit that I think involved the Hover Boots that resulted in Link being able to cast while underwater (not sure if I ever got it to work on my N64 and not sure if it was patched in re-releases or the 3DS remake)! Then again maybe you did but forgot about it or it just wouldn't work outside the fishing pond or one the particular version you were using!

Honestly, just sounds like a Friday night to me!😂
I like to see how you can do illegal fishing in Majora's Mask (like in the poisoned swamp, the pirate fortress, and inside the moon)
Ooooh with the 3ds version? Yeah that would be fun too. But the assets do exist in the N64 version somewhat.

Seeing that weird Dark Link behavior, now I'm curious to see what happens if you spawn Dark Link in unexpected places.
There's some really cool things. Spawning Dark Link's room in Kakariko for instance has some interesting effects.

This might be the best series on youtube i have seen this year
“Naw son - heat seeking fish is WILD.” - Ganon probably
You labelled Atlantis Ruins as Ocarina of Time while you called Glover's Water Temple
I would watch Link's fishing vlog
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't.
In death mountain, clearly the lava dried all the water in there, so that's why you can't fish in there. Hope this explanation helps! ;)
My guess for why the infinite fishing animation for Chamber of Sages and Death Mountain is because it's trying to reach water... that doesn't exist.
Would've loved if Dark Link pulled out a fishing rod and fished alongside Link. It's like the only wholesome encounter Link would have with Dark Link

Fishing in illegal places without a fishing license. You're going to jail bro.

Maybe the lure goes on forever because there's no barrier for it to hit at all
can you get into the upper part of the cube center room in the water temple with the fish loaded?
did you know that there's an Arwing enemy in kokiri forest? can only be encountered via gameshark, though.
Come on fish! It's a Pole of "Friendship" !
Can you use the lure to get the fishing line lower?
I wonder if you could load Dark Link in Kakariko Village and make him attack one of the cuccos..
a real fishing channel finaly!
Why did they program the fishing rod to be able to deal damage to enemies?
Um, Swanky are you not aware of the trick to fishing underwater (its been awhile but I remember there was a exploit that I think involved the Hover Boots that resulted in Link being able to cast while underwater (not sure if I ever got it to work on my N64 and not sure if it was patched in re-releases or the 3DS remake)! Then again maybe you did but forgot about it or it just wouldn't work outside the fishing pond or one the particular version you were using!

Is it possible to get fishing rod ISG?

Be kinda neat to see the PC version get a fishing mod with almost every water area getting a fishing section (lava area's too)
