    First off, I want to say THANK YOU for watching! This was my first attempt at an in-depth Zelda video, so I apologize if its a little rough around the edges. Consider this me testing the waters or gauging interest in future Zelda videos. If you enjoyed it please consider subscribing or giving it a like, with enough interest I'd love to do a sequel focusing on Majoras's Mask and other bits of Zelda lore. The best way to support me is to follow us over on TWITCH, where we livestream story/lore runs of all the games in the Zelda series!! Links to our Twitch and discord are in the video description so I'd love to see some new faces and feel free to let me know your thoughts on the video in the comments!! Have an amazing day/night and thank you again for watching this video that meant so much to me.

      Much more than nostalgia.
      I played it on the N64 for the first time in 2022, I liked it so much that I had to give it 100%.
      Ocarina of Time is the perfect balance of:
      Having a badass story with badass temples, and having side missions and items scattered throughout the world. However, having one of the best exploration mechanics.
      Both skulltulas, heart pieces and upgrades require creative systems to be collected. Some are simpler, others more complex, many of them involving people, minigames and strategies. Much better than in Twilight Princess, for example, where the heart pieces only live in chests, the insects roam the world along with the poes. (Not that they are bad mechanics, but rather, weaker compared to Ocarina).
      Then you can do the side missions:
      The mission of the masks;
      Ice Arrow's mission;
      The mission of the 4th bottle;
      And the Bigoron Sword quest.
      You just don't stop doing things as you progress through the game.
      It's an addictive and never-ending experience! You never stop exploring and discovering. This game is amazing

    I remember my mother, who hated LoZ because of the 'evil magic' present in it, (she is a strict, protestant, ethnic, Christian woman) sitting down and watching me try to figure out how to get to Gerudo Valley. She never liked it when I played. Yet she spoke up and said "Why don't you try and jump your horse over the bridge?" I was 5 years old and I'm 30 now and still remember it.
    And another thing that I think is so powerful:
    The game allows Link to travel between his childhood and adulthood with music.
    Just like how we use the OST to travel to our childhoods when we played this.

      Nintendo despite their way of handling Community etc, might have to much of an respekt of this title, since it is the closest thing we have to a best game(with the most amount of people agreeing that its this one) so a remake would have to be either exactly the same which i doubt they want, or very similar but improved, but the problem is this game is so good that changing anything can end realy poorly if done wrong.

    I'm really glad that you mentioned the cinematography. OoT's cinematography is absolutely one of the most overlooked aspect of the game, and it adds so much to the scope of the story. It was one of the things I noticed was lacking from the 3DS version, although I can understand given the smaller screen.

    • @akward4210
      @akward4210 Год назад +6

      @@WeirdEdz There's actually a significant difference with how the the scenes are shot in the 3DS version versus the N64 version as well. The camera movement seems a little "tight", if that makes any sense, in the 3DS version, which makes the cinematography appear less grand in scope. You can also notice that certain camera angles during cutscenes that were achieved in the N64 version that are not quite the same in the 3DS version. One example of this is in the scene right after child Zelda tells her version of the Triforce origin story, and the camera zooms back in on Zelda and Link. The N64 version zooms in to have the tulip flowers frame around both Zelda and Link, where the 3DS version shows the flowers in the bottom left of the frame, and has only Zelda in frame between flowers but not Link. Another example is when Ganondorf starts talking to Link at the top of his tower, and mentions the Triforce resonating. The scene in the N64 version then turns to show a side profile of Ganondorf, Zelda, and Link, standing almost on the opposite ends of a triangle from one another. The 3DS version however does not have the same side profile shot, it instead shows the three while the camera is further behind Link; Ganondorf is now standing slightly higher in the shot, and the triangle motif is not nearly as present. It might not be a major difference, but it is noticeable.
      Also, if you compare the scene where Link and Ganondorf first meet after Zelda and Impa flee, the scene is almost entirely shot differently in the 3DS, including a different sequence of dialogue to action.
      Edit: Relating to the scene where Zelda and Link first meet, I forgot to mention that the N64 version pulls off a dolly zoom (or vertigo effect) when Zelda notices that Link has a fairy and the camera focuses in on Link's face. The 3DS version does not do this, it just slowly zooms in on Link instead. This is another example of the cinematic feel that the N64 version had over the 3DS version.

    Also its even more for me since it is my whole childhood. When i was too young to play/understand or just have my own console i just watched my brother play it. as well as wind waker. always fascinated about the story and how it does things no game i know does with its story. Splitting and playing around with the timeline, even in between games. giving it a whole other level of depth in its story since its really deeply connected to all those other zelda games.
    so that fascinated me as a kid. as well as the setting the game plays in. Then i grew into it and played it myself later. now looking back, and realising it means so much to others. the game that made my childhood. I still have the same disc laying around here. occasionally playing it again. Its everything i love, combined in a game. fantasy setting, mistery, mind fuck, fucking around with complicated things like time and much more. making a small game into a whole universe living in it self.

    I enjoyed this video so much. Thank you for creating this masterpiece of a masterpiece. I'm a early 90s baby and this game played a major role in my life. There is just no way I can express in words the power this game had on me as a child. Even now in my early 30s this game is held high in my heart. Also made the Zelda series my favorite. Nothing make me feel like a kid again than Zelda. Every time I play OoT I get such a nostalgic feeling, I start remembering all the thing I forgot as a child. Thank you so much.

    Ocarina of time just sets the tone for every other Zelda game to come based of the experience you had with it. For me this game being my first 3d Zelda game, it did just what it needed to do. If you never played you’re missing out, even if you hate other zeldas.

    The water temple ain't hard. It's just tedious and since our short term memory has a tendency to vanish when we interrupt an action, it makes us forget where to go or where we came from. Here's why I love the game tho. It's my favorite because it took the ideas from A Link to the Past and brought us this game that was so ahead of everything else that was out and it had this epic feel to it. Being a kid I felt like I was controlling the main character of an epic tragedy or something. It was and still is all flash and all substance. Three weapons can be equipped also!

    Imo the iron knuckle (or however you spell it) was pretty easy, you just had to get close, then when it swung at you jump back and then hit it a couple times before it can hit back and do it a couple more times until you beat it

    on of the most satisfying moments to me was after you have been thrown in that cell from the Gerudos, and got up to the window high above using the grappling hook . From this position you can oversee almost the whole outdoor area and shoot down some guards unseen with your bow (of course without killing them). And when you have timed it right, the sun rose right in this moment and the music changed into a very motivating one....

    When I first played this and even entering the Deku Tree for the first time. I just felt something special that I'm about to play. This was the first Zelda game I've played despite growing up with Super Mario and the original NES. When I finished it off and defeated Ganon I felt a sense of accomplishment that not many video games give. Still get giddy playing it today than when I first did in early 1999. The 3DS version of the game just makes it even better. It's going to take a lot to surplant this as one of the best video games ever.

    I think when I first played Ocarina, it was the first time I ever actually loved a video game. I played many games before it and always liked games and thought they were fun. But Ocarina changed the way I saw the medium itself. I had never considered before OoT that games could be more than fun entertainment, that they could actually be art that moved you on a deep level. That will always be its enduring legacy for me personally. It want just an amazing game, it literally changed the way I saw games forever

    I am confused when they say Zelda has never had great stories. I mean, what more can you ask having Ocarina of Time? As you say, story, characters and music are the soul of the game. Later installments of the series have destroyed this consistency.

    Funny.... when I played this game as a 10 year old I did not understand why Zelda wanted to send Link back n the end. I was like "are you kidding? Why should Link want that, he is the Hero of that time!" Now as an adult I totally understand what kind of gift and sacrifice this was from Zeldas side

  • @tonyt3955555
    @tonyt3955555 Год назад

    i think you did a great job with this video, tone and atmosphere is one of the strongest characteristics of ocarina of time. i think the only part of the game which felt off which i also felt back when i played this in 1999 was ganondorfs castle i remember visiting it early and a few times through out the game wondering how to get in and my imagination went wild with what would be lurking inside,especially after being terrifed of the zombies in the plaza and the cool visual of outside the castle. When the end of the game neared and i got inside i was pretty disappointed with the small very basic mini puzzles that were all themed the same as other parts of the game and were done fast. I was hoping to see a grand final dungeon, but at least after you lower the barrier the game did not disappoint starting with that iconic scene of walking up the staircase to face ganondorf playing the organ.
    some of my most memorable moments/imagery from the game was the cursed skulltilla kid, camera changing when getting face hugged by the zombies, almost everything in the shadow temple (had no clue about the lens of truth went through the whole thing to get to the boss and realize i couldnt kill him, took me so long to figure out i had to change to a kid again to go down the well) amazing music with imagery when first entering the spirit temple, going the wrong way in the ice arrow mini dungeon and running out of keys locking myself out of the ice arrows. the organ stair case which i previsouly mentioned with gannondorf, the sound effects and animation when hitting ganndorf with light arrow, and like you said the final fight after an epic tower collaspe, everything about that fight was so immersive and powerful.

    You've described perfectly why this is my favorite Zelda game. I get flack for that, I hear people say the game is "overrated" but to me it's anything but. The Zelda franchise I would argue even struggled to escape the shadow that the game left because it had been so impactful that following games were...well...just not Ocarina of Time. That's not to say I didn't like the Zelda games that followed, far from it I still enjoyed them. They just haven't impacted me the way this game did.

    I played Ocarina of Time a while ago. I have no nostalgia for this game and I only got into gaming a few years ago. I think that it is one of the best games ever made. Everything from the atmosphere, soundtrack and overall adventure is just iconic. Most of the story can be understood without much dialogue which is something that sets it apart from many modern games. The gameplay has aged mostly well and almost every temple / dungeon was a blast to go through.
    I have just one big critique and a few nitpicks. The main issue I have is that there is SO much backtracking and the game wastes your time with pointless cutscenes and long animations for everything you want to do. Like I know Link isn’t the strongest man alive, but could he at least push those boxes just a little faster? Or could I fast travel without having to hear a song every time? Or how about next time I open a chest, you just give me the thing that I need without a cutscene. Little things like that just make playing the game feel tedious.
    The nitpicks are the owl and Navi constantly interrupting you, some boss fights being underwhelming and annoying enemies.

    the WaterTempel really gave me a hard time as an as a 10 year old. In every playthruh. but still every time I "faught my way through" because I really had the urge to complete this journey and save Hyrule, because it's the right thing to be done . i think that is also something special bout Zelda : In the most other RPGs you have to decide if you gonna help other charachters, or even trie to betray them somehow to complete quests. In Zelda the only possible way to act is altruisticly, because thats Link's nature. In all his reincarnations
