- I guess people like this game.
So this was just a little review for Zelda: Ocarina of Time, a game that's near and dear to my gamer's heart. It's not extremely serious I thought it'd be fun to talk a little Zelda, and throw around what I think about a classic like this.

Here's a more in depth review I did on Super Smash Bros Brawl!!!!! • Why We Love Super Smas...
Watch me get SUMO SLAMMING in Tekken 5!!!!! • Video
I always loved the Legend of Zelda series. I...am...old, lol. I remember playing the original game. The gold cartridge was so cool, and the game didn't disappoint. It rose above expectations. The best game on the NES. It took me YEARS to beat it. When I finally got that silver arrow and hit Ganon, it was so satisfying. I also loved Zelda 2. I really thought it improved on the original. The downward stab, the Iron Knuckle...on horseback, the maze-like Temples, the Magic meter, Shadow Link. It was so...awesome. Then Ocarina of Time came out and it just blew everything else away. I love this video. You nailed it. This game is just so much awesome crammed into a game that can barely contain it on a system that can barely do it justice and it still somehow comes out shining, and you conveyed all that.
It’s one of greatest game series of all time! Every entry is just so unique and freaking groundbreaking. And they just know how to immediately capture the imagination. It’s something that I still can’t wrap my head around😂
It was awesome of you to credit Koji Kondo. Please make more videos like this.
Love the original nes game I have the gba port because I dont own a nes anymore
I read this and thought ‘but I remember playing original and I’m not that old’ and then I remembered I collect retro consoles and you obviously played it when it first came out lmao
Same bro I’m 32. It was the first game I beat!
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is my first ever game that I played and what made me into a Zelda fan for life and my roots, I played countless hours on the N64 with this game as a kid. I'd like to say that I started off with a bang.
I started with Ocarina of Time as well, but I was a new gen player so I started with the 3DS version when I was about 10 years old but I'm in love with Zelda because of it
Pretty much the same here!
Then there’s me who’s playing it for the first time just now😂😂😂😂😂
Orcarina of time on the 3DS was my third. Minish cap, Skyward Sword second. I understand now after playing why the impact OOT made was understandable.
Ocarina of time was the thing that also made me a fan. Next was Majora's mask.
Oot still has the greatest credit sequence of all time
Greatest credits and opening, started z targeting, a graphical beast for its time and my favorite game of all time and favorite Link
Also the context based button
@@Buff_Drio that title theme man.. It just never fails to make me cry
You spelled Majora's Mask wrong.
If you’re referring to the remake on the 3DS, that wasn’t the original ending. That was a special ending exclusive to the 3DS version.
I can never look at OoT in an objective light to be honest. I remember getting this game as a suicidal teenager in a really shitty spot and it helped me a lot. It was a healing hand on my shoulder when I definately needed it at that time and its one of those pieces of art that defined me as a person.
Either way, I've been in those ALTTP vs OOT arguments and my position stands as;
people don't love ALTTP, they love playing it. It might sound like splitting hairs but its important. People love OoT. They love the world, the story, the characters, the little nuances you can find in the world. I can barely find fanart on Sahashrahla or Agahnim but I can find tons of fanart on the cucco lady.
The cultural impact of Ocarina is something that it holds over all the other entries in the series. And like you said, it was a really special piece of art and helped shaped so many people. Thanks for sharing!!!
What I find interesting about that ALTTP statement is that ALBW is kinda opposite; I absolutely love the game to death, playing it can be annoying until you can buy your items rather than rent, but it’s such a great game with one of the best villains in Zelda; as for the cucco lady, her model was used for Anju in Majora’s Mask, so of course she’d be massively popular, at least I think so
I feel like most people don't understand statements like that, most people are like "uhhhhh how did a GAME save your life?" Sometimes we forget what joy is but then some games like OoT or Mario 64 or Sonic 2 remind us how to smile, it brings back that blissful peace we used to have when we were little
I remember as a kid getting NES and playing the original Zelda, then a SNES combo with LTTP, then the N64 OoT combo pack then playing MM, then buying Gamecube with WW and TP, playing SS and TP on Wii, and finally buying a Switch BOTW combo pack, buying Links Awakening, and currently waiting for BOTW2. Legend Of Zelda has been my favorite game franchise since i was 4 years old.
There’s just something that special about it I can’t describe it honestly lol. I’ve played a good amount of them but I’ve NEVER tried a few of the handheld ones so hopefully I get around to em!!!
It seems that you, like everyone and their mother's brother, skipped the Wii U.
I remember playing ocarina of time for the first time and being TERRIFIED of the shadow temple. Now I’m doing a fellowship in opera to accompany my BA In musicology because of Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. I teach music because of Zelda and it’s like I’m guiding my students on their own musical adventure
Dude that is so cool. Saria's song is still my favorite.
Indeed. That’s so awesome. I love the positive impact this game had on a whole generation. Truly the greatest of all time
I can absolutely relate to this. Zelda ignited my interest in film/video game scores from a young age, and now I'm an undergrad working on a performance/composition double major! Zelda's music will always be legendary.
The fight against Ganondorf and Ganon is almost biblical.
Every game seems to have its own distinct hue and tone that makes you recognize it.
Instead, OoT's trademark is that it features all of them. In contrast with most games out there, you can't fully know OoT unless you complete the quest to the end.
You start as a 10 year old in a bright green forest with cute little music, basically pass through every color of the rainbow thematically and aesthetically and in the end, you have become the embodiment of the archetypal hero, fighting Satan on a plateau of dust and rubble, surrounded by ominous moutains and a ring of fire, with only flashes of lightning helping you make out the beast that you have to take down.
If you first played the game young, that same growth could be reflected through you as the player, who struggled to make out the controls at first and ended up mastering all the mecanics of the game in the end. It also makes the ending of going back to the past all the more bittersweet.
All of this contribute to making Majora's Mask a great sequel that only those who played the first game can understand.
Tl;dr: the game was setup to be a memorable experience in every way possible.
There’s a video done by this channel Good Blood that really goes in depth into the themes of the game. It’s called Ocarina A Master Class In Subtext. It basically connects the game to the values of the Shinto religion which I found really cool! But I completely agree with you on the religious symbolism!
What you said in the middle paragraph was great. When I started the game up and was exploring the Kokiri forest, my dad came by and said "I don't understand how you can play such a silly game". Weeks later I made it to Ganon and I kid you not, he said "This game is much better than the stupid one you were playing a couple weeks ago". I'm like "Dad it's the same game..." He was in shock lol.
@@skylargray5642 That's cool as fuck. Sad thing is that many people put the game down before even reaching the adult portion.
A+ video for an A+ game.
I will never forget that Christmas my parents hunted everywhere for a copy, and then seeing that perfect size gift under the tree. Played it day and night till it was done, and then did it all over again.
Now I'm old, and I dusted off the 64, and played through it with my kids, reliving the glory of OOT through their eyes. A proud daddy moment when my 5 year old beat Ganon.
Last Christmas I got them (and me) Breath of the Wild, and the magic and wonder is still playing out in our house every other day. Everything has come full circle.
I love that! Playing a classic for the first time is so memorable but there’s something possibly even more special about sharing that experience with people later in life! That’s why I started making videos in the first place, to share the things I love with other people. Thanks for watching!!!
You’re 5 year old beat Ganon? Jeez, took me years
@@marafolse8347 he is one with the force and the force is with him.
@@marafolse8347 yeah wtf right? Kids these days laugh at that stuff. He was playing, and making me look horrible on comparison, mega man 3 when he was 3. 🤷🏻
Awesome! I also got it for the first time for Christmas when I was a kid. Christmas 1998. I was 11
This was the first 3d game for people who wanted a questing adventure on a console and not a platformer.
Everything came together for this game. Puzzles, dungeons, story, music, time travel, and, most importantly, great controls. Sure, the graphics are outdated bit everything else holds up.
What if what I'm really looking for is a clean burning fuel?
The N64 version? Great controls? It does its job I guess, but great controls is not it
@@gaius5901 The controls are absolutely great. It doesn't just do the job, it does it well.
I still remember the feeling 12 years ago when I beat the game and the end credits played for the first time... there’s a magic that was captured within this game that will never be replicated again. People say video games can’t be art, but this game in every sense of the word, is an artistic masterpiece.
I replayed OOT a week ago, I had this stigma for a while about how it was pure nostalgia; But boy, they fucking nailed it on the first try, is a smart game, well designed, treating the player with intelligence.
I recommend playing the og game with a CRTV , believe me it helps a lot in how the game looks, and boy the fucking story and overall kinda sadness feeling in the whole game. This game has fucking soul.
It was the first game that gave me a true sense of melancholy at the end. It was fascinating going through all this effort, all the build up, all the exploration and growth as you came to love this world and grow in it, as Link gave everything, including his childish innocence, to struggle his way up to the big climax against a rightfully intimidating enemy who managed to be one step ahead of you the whole way. And then at the very end, it capped that subtle feeling of sadness, loneliness, fatigue, and estrangement by forcing you to watch Zelda forcibly return you to the past where none of your success or achievements would be remembered. The most real video game parallel to a soldier coming home to a country that fundamentally fails to understand the sacrifices he made to preserve their peaceful ways of life. It crushed the little child me, it was the first time I cried at the end of a story where we had won. Though I didn't realize it, that moroseness was always there, and it consumed me as I subconsciously understood how sad it was for Link to have no one at the end, not even Navi. The world needed him, but he had no one he could lean on.
Watch a video Called "Ocarina of time - A masterclass in subtext"
If you want to learn more about the sadness in Ocarina of time
Belive me.. You will love it!
If you are concerned about looks play it on an emulator, preferably Dolphin doing the GC versions and use a texture pack. You'll have 2x or 4x the resolution plus updated textures since the N64 couldn't fit much with such little memory.
@@sprockkets Those always look terrible, they don’t respect the original look of the games and use the most generic stock google images for textures, Nerrel is the only one doing an accurate texture pack.
@@sprockkets I was talking about how the intended look of the game still looks good
This is the game that got me into gaming. I'm from '86, and had already played some classics. I played Qbert and pitfall on the atari, I remember playing the sega with terminator, Ghostbusters and sonic, and the SNES (it had Mario all stars and star fox). I had played Wolfenstein at that point, and Mortal Kombat 2. Goldeneye and Mario 64. But OOT made me fell in love with gaming. The scale, the score, the characters and stories, the sense of exploration - it all just came together and it was all just too good. So good that I knew games weren't just there for fun. They were there to elicit emotions. And I was hooked.
While it wasn't my first zelda game, (BoTW took that) it is by far my favorite zelda game, everything about it, the music, the dungeons, the characters, even the N64 graphics, they always have a special charm to them.
First person i’ve ever seen who likes an older zelda game over botw, after botw being their FIRST. Usually people love their first in a series the most. Majora’s mask and ocarina of time will always be tied for my favorite zelda, and favorite game of all time. But botw, and now botw2, is very close behind in 2nd
I died when he said "and sonic?....he started smoking crack and said fuck it" its funny and sad how sonic games were good but then turned into hot shit
I might do a video on Sonic because he’s a REALLY interesting case. Plenty of good games but the hot garbage is HOT GARBAGE
I am not that deep in to Sonic but Sonic Mania is pretty good in my opinion. I did not really got in to the gameplay of sonic unleashed but I liked the Story Sonic and Chip where great characters.
I am a Sonic fan hardcore. I find most Sonic games are incredible. Sonic 1, 2 are awesome. Sonic Spinball is fun (and frustrating). Sonic Adventures (DX) is awesome. Adventures 2 is also great. Sonic Mania and many more.
But it also depends on whether you enjoyed the consoles they were on when they dropped otherwise, you just see outdated, clunky trash. LoL
Sonic adventure on the dreamcast was pure magic.
We’re hoping the next sonic is gonna be different. With money from the movie and the remasters and the longer dev cycle, we have hope!
Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to drop your favorite Zelda game or moment down below!!!
(My first couple dislikes. Really moving on up in the world🥲)
Majora's Mask. I love all the side quest.
@@TearYouApart360 Definitely some of the best sidequests in the series IMO
I love all the Zelda games but OoT and BotW are tied for first place for me :)
ocarina of time my fav
BotW, but I'm also really hoping the sequel does some of what Majora's Mask (the other sequel) did, so definite special mention to MM for the side quest and character stuff
It just has to be my favorite game of all time. with TP coming close. Im 21 now and I first beat it when I was 14 on the 3ds. Beat it idk 5 times since. I love the new Zelda games but especially some like BOTW just haven’t hit the mark the same with rich story telling. As I get older I can’t believe Im still hooked on a game that came out before I was born. How is it that I still consider it better than new 4K games in 2021. The only thing that comes close is well… other zelda games. But with that being said OOT still stands just a little from the rest. I wish I could replay it for the first time just like that favorite movie we all have. It almost makes me sad because It’s kinda like The Mona Lisa sometimes there are things that just only come once in a life time and are extremely hard to recreate even by its own creators... Many times I truly believe Ocarina is one of those things. Mind blowing it happened to be a video game. Legendary. Beautiful. Experience and feeling indescribable. Thats Ocarina Of Time
Agree I'm 30 I played ocarina of time and majoras mask when they came out. Still my favorite 2 games ever. Playing them on the n64 is amazing. I played ocarina religiously from 98 to 2009 when I graduated hs. I've beat that game probably 100 plus times. I still will randomly play through it!
The impact this game had on Zelda as a series can never be overstated and the soundtrack was so good that they basically just copy and pasted it into Twilight Princess. The sense of adventure that came with playing one of the first 3d games ever was also pivotal, as the sense of discovery and exploration was unmatched at the time. I avoided all trailers and media for BOTW when it was in development, and as such I was able to play it completely blind and I was able to recapture that feeling of wonder
Why no one shuts up about Zelda Ocarina of Time? Here's a quick answer:
Cuz it's a great game
Im thoroughly annoyed that they didnt do anything with oot for the 35th
Ikr? Like, couldn't they have at least made a port for the Switch?
True Story: I begged my mom to teach me how to read so I could read the instruction manual for this game. I literally learned to read because of this game. LOL
That organ still sends shivers down my spine to this day. That never gets old lol! That sound as you get closer and closer to the top of that tower is in fact…classic!
Not to mention how open-ended it was left, giving the theorists and fanfic writers endless fodder for angst and conspiracies to unpack.
Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are two games that I've never played, but I wish I had. Fans have spoken about these 2 games so much that I want to share in that nostalgia. Also because OoT starts the Zelda Timeline split and that is so awesome. I hope OoT and MM comes to the Switch. I will definitely get it.
The very end fucking sent me that was hilarious 😂
OOT is one awesome game and when I play it on my N64 it remindeds me of my Dad's friend that was like a uncle to me that gifted the 64 and OOT to me for my birthday gift when I was 10 or so years old and he passed away a year or two ago and I am 24 years old now and I cry reambeing him and think how awesome him and the game is
There was something magical about the game that can’t be replicated. If you were a kid playing it without being spoiled by so many other games that refined the genre, the game pulls you in.
Something about the graphics, music, structure and atmosphere all put together made such a memorable experience that I played the game over 200 times. It’s just that good.
I'm a HUUUUUUUUUGE Zelda Fan (I have a giant Triforce tattooed in my back close to the shoulders), and this video just was recommended for me, here in Brazil - well, I'm Brazilian.
And I'm so happy that I clicked on your video and watched. You nailed it. The humour, the passion, the facts, the way you talk about that 90's gaming era and how you explain Zelda Ocarina of Time STILL IS A BIG FREAKING DEAL it's just amazing.
You've earned a Brazilian Subscriber. Wish you all the best, buddy! Congrats about your pretty good work. Keep going!
I remember watching my mom play the original Zelda, with the golden cassette ;) , it was too hard for me, I was 6 or 7. I played Link to the past with her help for some puzzles. When Ocarina of time release I was a teen, my mom did'nt like the control, she never get used to it . So I played it and she watch, and helped. This is really good memories, I will cherish all my life!! Just the music give me chill
I go back to this game every now and again like most hardcore gamers that peaked during this era. And God damn, it's still so flawless the way it captured every one of us. Little hiccups but it's nice seeing how game development and gaming evolved. And it's even better seeing new videos like this one crop up over the years. Great review. Subbing to the channel
Ocarina of Time was such a different sort of game from what had been available at the time, even at a time when games weren't at all mainstream so everything was novel. OoT hooked me from day -5 (seriously, my first experience of OoT was with a rented version back when you could rent video games. I was convinced the log you fly through in the menu background scenes was the way to the final boss). It was an accomplishment of storytelling and gameplay well beyond the standards of the time and it captured my unlimited little mind back then.
This was my first Zelda game and gosh it's such a magical experience that I'll always hold dear to my heart. I just beat it for the first time a couple weeks ago after pulling an all-nighter with a whole 12-hour session of Ocarina of Time. What a game.
Don't forget both Ocarina of Time and Majora's mask are talked about a ton to this day
I'm so glad that this game in particular was my first video game ever. There's such a unique interaction with nostalgia here, starting off playing as a child reminiscing my own childhood playing the game, and then pulling the Master Sword and reflecting on how I too, have grown up. And all of Sheiks quotes drive that feeling home even harder
I was expecting you to have 733k subs not 733 total lol
Great video, subbed
The cold pool analogy with the emergence of 3D tech was so apt and funny
Would've been fun to note the reason why Z targeting 'works' even though it narrows your focus down to one enemy and not your surroundings. Is because in the code whomever your z targetting will be the only one to attack you (outside levers) while everything else makes distance.
That was the one area in the video I felt a little iffy about to be completely honest lol. Thanks for watching though! I’ll try to be more in depth here and there!!!!
10:30 I love Zelda but this theme and setting along with climbing the tower to face Ganon is the absolute best thing in this game for me. After all of those trials, this is where you know it's either gonna be YOU or Ganon in the end. Also 11:17 LMFAO!!
I didn't play Ocarina as a kid so I don't have any nostalgia associated with it. I don't like playing it very much. What I do like is the music. Lots of songs came out this game that are present in pretty much all future installments in some variation. And I greatly appreciate the game pioneered 3d games. Obviously it's not the sole contributor for that but it's up there. I'm 100% positive I would have loved it as a kid but as an adult it's sort of meh. It's a tremendous first attempt at a 3d Zelda though. I won't take that from it.
Seeing modern 3D games kinda ruined old games to me.
Thats why i like retro games; all the charm, none of the inconvenience
The overall high fantasy tone of this game, the amazing original score and songs, the perfect balance of child’s game and dark mature tones, all of these things make it perfect and unfortunately all of these things are actually missing from BotW which is why I still view OoT as a better overall experience.
some of my earliest memories are of watching my dad playing Ocarina Of Time and then i eventually played it along with majoras mask and i will always cherish the zelda series for that reason i made such good memories with my dad and had such a fun time playing all of the zelda games throughout my life this game especially and the series as a whole will always hold a special place in my heart. I still own the original N64 and game that i played on with my dad so long ago and its nice to replay it every now and then its good memories
I don't even need to watch this video to answer the question why nobody shuts up about this game. The answer:
1. Its arguably the greatest video game ever made.
2. Its replay value is off the hook.
3. The level and game design is not only classic but basically flawless from almost every standpoint.
4. This IS the real Zelda story if no other Zelda game was made.
5. It's an experience that will live on forever.
6. Its the Super Mario Bros 3 of the NES. Ex: NES games look terrible now people forget Super Mario Bros 3 is still an 8-bit game that holds up in 2021. Wow. Super Mario 64 graphics suck now even though a great game and OOT still on same engine and still holds up with same poor graphics. Look at the sky in the open field on the N64 game. Its realistic and shockingly real looking. 😳
7. Even playing OOT a 100th time I experience something new that I didnt before.
8. The lock on Z tagetting was done so well that countless other videogames have copied it the last 20 years.
9. The dungeon design is top notch and basically perfect.
10. The feel of the game has a rare classic uniqueness not many other games before it or after have.
EgoRaptor influence very apparent in this video format, lol. Nice video highlighting Ocarina in all its glory and imperfections.
Just binged like 4 of your videos & I mean this in the best way but your video style & humor fills the hole Sequelitis has left in my soul. Love your stuff man
Thanks for running through the catalog glad you enjoyed it! Sequelitis is a huge inspiration to me so even being compared to that means more than you know man I appreciate that
I didn't get to play this game until it came out on the 3DS and only years later after BOTW was already released. It also wasn't even my first Zelda game either, but I still think Ocarina of Time is the best Zelda game to date. It just captured that magical wonder of what an adventure game truly is. Damn, I wish I can play this game for the first time again
Because it was great, unbelievably fun to play, came out during a time period where video games, specifically 3D video games, didnt have that strong of a foothold on the market yet, so it stood out remarkably. It was the first 3D "pseudo open world exploration" game. The story was fresh, exciting and had depth. The creatures of hyrule were intensely grotesque and well designed.
*shows glover as mediocre*
Me, a glover stan: how DARE you sully the glove like this
Thought the exact same thing lol
It's the greatest game of all time. I'm mid thirties and still yet to see better, BOTW came close but after all said and done Ocarina is number 1.
Botw got boring for me after about 30 hrs
BOTW needed actual fucking dungeons. Also more iconic music. Those 2 elements would’ve given it ocarina status for me
@@12poopie I agree with you 😎
@@12poopie I agree. The lack of dungeons is what killed it for me in the game
OOT was the one who set the classic 3d formula, and it did it so masterfully that every game up until Skyward Sword only added or improved the formula slightly. OOT is the perfect example of doing something perfectly the first time you do it.
BotW in the other hand is the only game since that has changed the formula and it's clear that there still lots that need to be improved, despite how inovative and refreshing the new formula was.
this goes to show you how sub count doesn't equal quality content
This game touched my soul in ways no other franchise has, there are times where i will literally have tears come down my face when listening to some of the tunes in the game... OoT is what solidified me as a zelda fan; even now, 12 years later..
I didn't play it as a kid, I first played it when I was about 18 after hearing so much about it.
I really didn't understand the appeal because by then I had already played many games which were more robust and refined.
I can understand how it was groundbreaking for the time, or that you still have enjoyment for it if you completed it as a child; however, I don't think it holds up without nostalgia.
"An experience you can't forget" I've forgotten almost everything that happens in this game lol. But at least that gives me a reason to play it again. The good thing about having a terrible memory is that I can experience games like this for the "first time" more than once! I always see people saying how badly they wish they could re-experience all of the surprises in classic games without knowing about them already.
How can you remember that you forget what happens
First video I have sat and watched all the way through in ,....I couldn't tell you how long. I subscribed, keep up the great work.
Thank you for watching it really does mean a lot!!!!!
Energy Tennis is officially called Dead Man's Volley, thanks to Phantom Hourglass name dropping it.
i LOST it at the dancing to the forest music tune LOL
Because has everything:
-Beautiful Music
-Great Story
-Creative Dungeons
-Excellent Mechanic and Gameplay
-Beatiful Graphics (for 1998)
-Adorable Characters
Every modern Zelda is lacking something!
Breath of The Wild is amazing but would be perfect with traditional dungeons and more impressive story.
Wind waker is amazing as well !
I have played since the beginning of Legend of Zelda. Every single one ups it to the next level. OOT was the first to to z-targeting. It broke all the norms....I loved LTTP but OOT had a vast story, awesome music, great puzzles, you could do everything or just minimum. It changed 3d gaming & rpg. I became a super fan with AoL and every game has Meade me or of one. I own them all & will keep buying them until I am to old to play them.
This is what began my love for the Zelda series, I remember being a child at my grandmothers house playing the original N64 with the gold cartridge at her house with my older brothers, so much sentimental value behind these games. Simpler times :)
If a game this old captivated my kids as much as it captivated me…I feel like it’s worth talking about.
This game is a masterpiece in so many ways and it is definitely my favorite game of all time. It also definitely has some of the best music and sound elements of within a Zelda series of course as well. The artwork based on the game is truly beautiful, and despite what most might say, I love game’s more simplistic art style. It’s a pretty ambitious and amazing first rendering of Zelda within a 3D world in my opinion as well. Most games these days seem to focus too much on how the game looks and other gimmicks, and seem to miss the point of truly being a great game and experience. Even one of my earliest memories are of me watching my mom playing this game as Link riding around on Epona 💕🐎
This video game changed the fabric of who I am as a person. I will never love a video game the way I love Ocarina of Time. Our generation really witnessed something special with this one.
Every entry has its reason for being beloved, and this one is simply because it breathed unfathomable life into the series. Every game since then has improved on OoT, in some way, but we'll never be able to relive the experience that it brought us. BotW did something similar, so it's probably going to be the OoT for the newer generation.. well, that, PLUS they're all freaking amazing games
When I fought the water boss in the water temple dungeon on the 3ds the first thing that came to my mind was "hey isn't that the thing from the movie The Abyss?"
The most bizarre thing to me is that I have nostalgia for many old games but ocarina of time just gives me such an intense sense of wonder magic and nostalgia that is not like anything else. Im not even a big zelda fan by any means this is the only one ive beat. What is it with this game that it goes so deep for us all??
I remember my journey through the game. I didn’t have an N64 at my place but my cousin did, every time I went over there I’d play their collectors edition of Zelda which had Oot among other Zeldas. It took me years to beat the game simply because I was too young to solve all the challenges the game was throwing at me, but when I finally did beat it after years of deleted saves (cause remember, not my console) it was such a good feeling. It really did feel like a went on a journey.
Zelda Ocarina of Time is the greatest video game of all time. PERIOD. I probably have more hours in Ocarina of time than every other game.
For me the reason I love this game is because of its lack of "Fluff." You know what I mean, like how Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword had an entire opening of tutorials, establishing character relationships, and dialogue before you get to your first dungeon. Ocarina of Time is very quick to give you your first dungeon, some lore/story, and then let you be on your way. Granted it lacks any real depth as all the story is surface level but it gets the job done. I think Majora's Mask reaches a good balance of non intrusive tutorials, story depth, and solid gameplay but that game is its own beast.
It takes a lot of guts to cover a game with so many people having said so many things but you did a great job and made it your own
"having an intense one-on-one duel with Dark Link"
Or you use the Megaton Hammer and turn what's supposed to be an intense duel into whack-a-mole.
or get the biggoron sword and end the fight in two moves.
I didn’t like OoT when I played it, felt incredibly disappointed from what was supposed to be the best Zelda no, the best game of all time... what I found was a good game. Now I kinda like it.
MAJORA’S MASK THO THAT’S A MASTERPIECE
You're a man of culture.
each zelda has its own unique charms that make them stand out
but yeah the og's are masterpieces
especially majora's mask
The absolutely only thing about this game that makes it impossible for me to play it is the framerate. I live in a country with PAL systems so the game runs at an average of 16fps which is honestly abysmal. It's such a shame because I personally adore the "outdated" graphics and I don't mind the controls all too much. Thankfully I've had the fortune of playing it on 3DS, a remaster of which many view to be straight up superior, but there's something about those old shitty N64 graphics that truly captivate me.
You can emulate NTSC versions.
I played oot on the 3ds for the first time never played it on n64 but those graphics interest me
Dude, you would get a like from me for the strangely cute Bettlejuice Cow hangin' out in that dingy cave alone, but I'll give you one for the rest of the great video too! The editing and pacing has that classic amateur charm (not in a bad way), and you've found a way to make _just another_ video about OoT actually interesting. Love the jokes and the cheesy voice changing drops, keep up the great work!
Ok but the dancing overlaps 🤣👏 gained a subscriber for that
How do you have just 1k Subs is beyond me... Great vid dude. Good jokes, great timing and still cool review of sorts, Keep it up!
This video is so fucking good had me dying the entire time. Can't wait for the next upload homie.💯
Hey thanks for watching brother I appreciate it!
POV: you’re waiting for The Void to start talking
This is a solid vid dude keep this up! 🙌🏽
I really appreciate that! I had a lot of fun making it! Thanks for watching man!!!
It's a masterpiece in storytelling. No matter how anime they make the later games, they all miss the mark.
A few of my friends learned how to read because of this game. I can see that alone leaving a lasting impression on them.
Excellent video my dude keep rolling, my favorite Zelda game is probably the one and only Skyward Sword😆
Still can’t believe I haven’t played it🤣 Thanks for watching Ben!
Big Scott the Woz energy from this video, especially the first few minutes 👌 Also, I love OoT. Played it for the first time last year and it held up really really well
Also Sequelitis...to me at least.
I was 9 years old when this came out. I got a 64 and OoT that Christmas. Literally changed my life.
I like your editing style and humor
You mate got my sub!
You've found yourself a new sub. This was a REAL treat, thank you!!! 😎🤓👍
Thanks for watching!!! 🥲😁
This is my first and childhood game growing up with my dad. I would watch him defeat dungeons and learn secrets. Those were the Nintendo 64 days.
This video was hilarious! Subscribed! Can't wait to see where you take your channel in the future. Keep going strong my guy. You're videos feel professional, with fun editing and such. This channel has big potential.
This video tickles my funny bone exactly
Perfect references and awesome production value!
This is the game that got me into my Legend of Zelda obsession. I have every version of it and I can’t wait for them to announce an HD version on the Switch. This is all I’ve been waiting for.
''...Nintendo took a fat piss and it wasn't so cold anymore...''
Jesus, I nearly fell from my chair xxDD!. Love this kind of humour xD.
Awesome video from criminally undersubbed channel! Great writing, loved the funny voices and vocal FX, great comedic timing and references?? Subscribed.
Also if you’re looking for a star crossed love with a indie game, CrossCode has all of those things and is just a flat out superb game I want more people to play. I highly recommend it and wish to see a review on your channel about it someday, perhaps????? :))))))
I’ll check it out! Thanks for the recommendation man!!!
Bro you need more subs this is some quality stuff
Thanks man I really appreciate that!!! I’ll try to keep pumping out quality stuff as much as I can!!!
Still after all these years. Its still one of my favorite games of all time. I may not have my N64 anymore. But i have the remake on 3ds and its a yearly thing for me to replay it. Every time i play it it brings me such joy. Yes i will say it has its flaws. Theres no denying that. But its still a wonderful game that i would always be happy to go back to anytime i have the chance
I remember playing both OoT and GoldenEye all night at my friends house, my long awaited intro to the N64. My poor parents had to endure a lot of begging from me after that lol. They finally caved around when Majoras Mask came out.
I immediately loved your videos! Ocarina of time will always be in my heart, it was the first game I’ve ever played at 3 years old. I cherish this
Thanks for watching!!!!!
@@VoidReviews looking forward to seeing you make more!
I played OoT for the first time this year and it's probably the game that's stuck with me the most out of everything I've played since the pandemic started. Everything was ace and the graphics had me nostalgic for a year I wasn't even alive in. Totally looking forward to playing it again someday
When this game came out the graphics were amazing and like nothing I'd seen before in realtime, and it had an amazingly cinematic feel. But I always found the gameplay to be a bit thin and it felt like a 3D remake of Link to the Past. I still feel like LttP holds up as a better game and it's a shame seemingly everyone thinks of Ocarina as being the first Zelda worth playing.
(Also Link's Awakening still has the best story!)
Playing Ocarina was probably the first time me and my older brother acted like actual brothers (He is 13 years older than me) so this game always holds a real nostalgia for me!
I didn’t understand until I played the game for myself. And then over the course of the next couple months after beating it, I gained a new appreciation for the game and understood even further
Appeared in my recommended and I was hesitant but this is good. I like it. More!
Thanks for taking the time to watch!!! I try to upload every week so I’ll try my best!!!!!
