SO! Things are getting changed a bit, the series will now be 4 parts, part 2 and 3 being out this month, and the finale next month. The next episode features Majora's mask and wind waker! It should be out this weekend!
Yeah, when you're going to kill off a character for funnies it has to be a quick one off, basically a slapstick gag. Honestly it got so weird I was turned off from the rest of the video in case there was another one.
The only time she's actually useful that and your first time ever playing when you don't know how to beat an enemy (save for the big fuckers by the forest temple and shadow link )
I always hear/see people say Fuc# Navi but praise Fi who is extremely annoying and tells you to take a break or tells you to go do the quest every five minutes. Fi is one of the reasons I won’t replay SS to see the ending while I regularly replay OoT.
You can actually do most of the Adult dungeons in OoT out of order. You can do the Fire Temple before the Forest Temple. You can do the Water Temple before the Fire Temple (but not before the Forest Temple). You can do the Spirit Temple before the Shadow Temple. And that's without exploits or partial completions (getting the item from a dungeon and then leaving).
Ælec Eoforheard oh yeah yeah can get the key item leave and do another dungeon. There are no barriers that disappear after beating a dungeon excluding Ganon’s tower.
PlayerNamedQuix Holy shit, I clicked on this notification and when the video played, I got ANOTHER Teen Titans Go ad. At least it was somewhat more family-friendly lol
So to those wondering the next video should be out next month, it'll cover Majora's mask, Wind Waker, twilight princess and skyward sword! I know this was a little different than most salts and I probably could of written it better but I've never made a video this long, lemme know whatcha liked and dislike so I can learn and make the next episode even better!
I loved the video, other than the fact that you would start rambling on basically stating the same point over and over again. That was especially shown in Ocarina of Time (yes I do agree with what you said, but it just seemed to be a bit too tedious)
Shows Skyward Sword in the beginning “I didn’t hate it” Honestly, same. The motion controls were a little wacky but i absolutely liked the game and story itself
thats why you cheat it so u can have fun honestly though even with save states it was a hard game death mountain rapes you if you dont have the guide the axeguys are overrated in their difficult but the one that through their axes are bullshit i have a feeling if someone remade the game today it would be good
Oot is fun, but u should know that you can press B to skip most dialogue entirely, including some of Navi and THE F***ING OWL, also ganons blood was red good job u have an early version
yup... i've heard plenty much better reviews. this was just about hating a bit of crap that weren't a problem. then saying i'm older, and it inspired me. everybody feel good. see yua.
I love Ocarina Of Time being overrated I love the game, I am proud of it being my favorite I don't care about getting shitted on, everyone has their opinions, but it will always be my favorite game of all time.
Never tried the original, but the 3DS remake is great! Although it can be a bit cryptic with its subtle hints (this only applies if you're not relying on the visions). Especially for 100%. Oh and fuck that well. I'm an adult in my 20s, but the music just keeps me on my toes in there. Well, until I got the Lens of Truth and used the sun song on the redeads.
You love it .. being overrated? Something being overrated means that it's liked more than it deserves. You love that people unjustly praise the game? Uhhh ..
I first encountered Zelda with Majoras Mask when I was like 12? I had no idea what to do and gave up. When I was 18, I played OoT. And I got bored after a while and frustrated with some things. I understand how important a game it was for the genre and gaming in general. But, I think it's flaws are what stand out most to new players years later. I have many games myself from childhood that don't hold up, but because of when I first played them they were of date or I was too young to care about the problems. Nostalgia is a powerful tool. Regardless of my feelings on the game, I'm glad you still love it. That feeling those special games give you is amazing. And I wouldn't trade it for anything
well theyre not made by nintendo so yeah they are no zelda games they were just licensed games (nintendo allowed them to use the name that was everything)
Maybe some day he can get sig and tessa to be financially beneficial. As for now, watch, like, sub, spread the word, and maybe donate some dolla bills.
Response to 14:00 I think they were excited to show off the 3D world, being one of the first (if not the first?). So every chance they got they made you look at all of the 3Dness that they had made. Lol
The expression you drew on link was really amazing. Your art is super cool and your reviews, even though I dont agree with everything you say, is still fun to watch. Keep up the good work. Please.
About the constant "Back patting" in Ocarina of time and how they showed you something in ALttP, remember that they have two complete diferent perspectives (3D vs 2D) to show you your progress and where to go. Sure, there were times that the place or door you needed to head on next was right in front of you, but there were times in the game that weren't (Water Temple as an example), if the game didn't do that "unnecessary back patting", you'd all probably would have got yourselves lost more than once during a dungeon or a temple, as for a Link to the past... Well, in a temple or dungeon, you could see the entire room on the screen, so yeah, the diference is in perspective ladies and gentlemen.
The whole "What is happening here? Oh its a chest!" Was basically my reaction when playing OOT for the first time. Everything about the game basically made me overly excited. Yes it does get a bit old when you are trying to play through the game for the 3rd time, but on release OOT was the shit. Yes it is a bit over rated, but on release it was without a doubt one of the top 10 games ever made, possibly number 1 based on tastes. OOT was revolutionary, building off the also revolutionary success of my personal favorite ALTTP. So while OOT in direct comparison to some more modern titles does not hold up as well as it used to, when you factor in its age it is amazing. It taught many lessons for the industry in general and well earned its place in gaming history.
OoT is a game that's still perfectly playable, but it hasn't aged as well as some games in the series. It was fantastic in its time, but we've just learned so much more about good game design since then. Future Zelda games often avoid the mistakes that bog OoT down. It was an important milestone in the series, but you can see the learning curve the designers went through in making it. Hell, even the immediate follow-up, Majora's Mask, made some significant improvements on the design. It was still stuck with a few limitations, but in many ways it was a huge step up.
Man Arin sounds different, and did Matt and Ryan edit this sequelitis? And did Ross do the animation or Arin? It looks like neither of their art styles.
Some Guy Yeah I think they hired a new guy his name is something like, withasideofsaltisalliwilleverbeknownforandprobablythemostpopularvideoivemadeisoneofthem
Skyward Sword did have its flaws, but it also had some of the best bosses in the series. I never really understood the hate for it. Yea it wasn't the best Zelda game, but it wasn't a bad game or even the worse Zelda. Also, the controls were a Bluetooth thing. If you had a Bluetooth device nearby, like a phone in your pocket, then it would mess with the motion plus controller. If you cleared the room of Bluetooth devices, then you could play for hours without re-calibrating.

Wait, Oot isn't ALttP3D? I played both for the first time a year or two ago, and they were practically the same game. There were some differences, but I didn't notice many.
a) dude, the fact your animation passion was fueled by zelda spoke to me. zelda and pokemon were my doors to gaming, and led me to study game development. right on. b) 90% sure i saw your Squid in my Splatoon 2 game. i kinda flipped ngl.
The love of the game is really felt with this video. I have a newfound sense of respect for you, man. Not just a humorist, but you actually mean what you do, so to speak.
I didn't remember all these problems in Ocarina of time 😂 That's... just my entire childhood. Everytime I see images from this game I can't help but feeling nostalgia and happiness, and I think that's why in my heart, this is the best game ever made! ...I'm not sure I'd enjoy it if I'd play it today though...
It's still a decent game given the time it came out. May not have been the best for it's time but was still a big and fun(ish) part of my childhood honestly.
Honestly most of the time that I've had issues it's been a result of me missing something obvious. Take the forest temple for example: after getting the bow I went back to the room with the stairwell to kill the Poe, completely forgot about the other door in the Bow room so I spent an hour walking around in circles trying to figure out where to go.
OOT is controversial? Wtf? I've literally never heard anything but good things about it and absolutely loved the game myself. It was my first Zelda game as a kid and it's still a solid contender for favorite game ever for me even today. I've played through it multiple times and have done so recently, so it's not just nostalgia, I genuinely love the game. I"m pretty sure Metacritic still has it rated as like one of the top games of all time (If not #1, although I didn't check that recently so Idk if that's still true). I'm not disagreeing with you, it's an opinion and an opinion literally cannot be wrong, I'm just really confused because I've never heard anything about OOT except how great it is.
Why are you skipping the handheld games? Link's Awakening and the Oracle games are very solid entries in the series that helped define the series, especially Ocarina of Time.
I got linked by a friend (he told me that you used the wrong warp tutorial vid I made). Awesome video, Scott! I never knew about your channel but I'm going to stick around for sure :)
This is like, the most human thing I've ever heard out of anyone's mouth about the Legend of Zelda series XD LoZ is most favorite games series', and I don't think I've ever heard anyone word it any better. Everything you said is a wonderful example of how (I feel) people should see the games. Most see it as controls based, and some see it as story based. Others just ignore all of it together, but the way you've worded it, music, story, progression, controls. Throwing every aspect into one, referencing the game AS A WHOLE, the way it should be. I'm actually surprised cus I expected it to be an animation making fun of the whole series and calling it crap, and I was prepared to laugh it off, but this is actually very insightful XD I know you don't need to hear me say it, but good job dude xD I thinks you've gained a surbcrabler :D
A lot of the things he said don't make sense. They also apply to other Zelda titles often to worse degrees without mention in their respective reviews.
Oddly enough, I didn't even know he uploaded OW stuff. I remember him from his older animations and didn't know that he started uploading videos again.
That last point about the biggest problem with OoT being that we grew up is fucking perfect. This is exactly the reason why the grandeur of the game has worn off on most people, and is the answer to that issue that I've never been able to put into words until you did. Well fucking done ScottFalco!
This is literally everything I've been missing for years in terms of gaming comedy and critical analysis since Sequelitis unexpectedly stopped happening literally years ago. Subbed after minute two. Great job.
I hated it, but it's not without its merits. The story is one of the best ever in a Zelda game and the art direction is phenomenal. I hated just about everything else, but it had brights spots for sure.
"we grew up..." that line hit me hard man. I can't remember a time when as a boy where I don't spend every weekends to play my ps1 or go to a friends house to play link to the past (😜), but as I grow up I notice I game less and less now. But does that mean I start to dislike many of the games I played in the past? no, I don't hate them, because they were fun. At the end of the day thats what a video game does, to give us a good time, so we can have fun within it.
I think tying into the "we grew up'' thing it's true when you grow up reality hits like a freight train you come to this conclusion of life is shit and as a child we tend to have a very open mind when it comes to concepts and imagination as well as hopes and asperations and dreams untill whap like a deku but to the face your ass sees the light :T as a kid we love the idea of out there concepts sadly alot of us lose that (SpongeBob to Squidward syndrome basically) everyone loved self inserting as children and letting our minds do what childish minds do. True we come to terms with the snowflakeyness of it all but as it's said in this video it's nice to feel special in a world that loves shitting on people having those moments. Reality is cruel it's nice to escape at times.
In my opinion oot isnt my favorite zelda *cough* skyward *cough* sword *cough* but i think it has aged really well. It was inspiring,a dn the puzzles, music and story were great.
BoBoMosasaur it really hasn't. I have played it for the first time recently and it's dreadful to go through. Not just the graphics but the gameplay and characters i just couldnt enjoy it. Sure back then it was a big deal but i doubt many new players will love zelda oot especially after playing something like botw
A lot of people argue over it's quality now, and many people consider it overrated, and say that it hasn't aged well, and if I'm to be honest, I kind of agree (Don't kill me)
Zer0dog What's weird is that almost all the complaints he made could be carried over to his favorite game MM. Yet he did not mention them once in his much lengthier review. It's almost as if those "problems" aren't really the issue.
ScottFalco complains about "cutscenes for everything", but having recently watched an LP of a romhack of Ocarina of Time where the hacker didn't always include those cutscenes showing what unlocked or changed... you kinda learn to appreciate them. Yeah, sometimes they're unnecessary, but you notice when they're not there and you suddenly have to search for the switch or treasure chest that just appeared. Navi moonlighting as Captain Obvious is pretty annoying, but you have to remember that these games are designed to be accessible to young children, as well as adults.
you mentioning and showing a link to the past gave me goosebumps, as a kid I didn't understand the game as I was just too young to grasp this game back than and now I think I'd rather watch someone play it instead like a lets play
I loved this and can only focus on the very last bit. We grew up! OoT was amazing when it first came out and was everything to me which is why I don't go back and play it again because I am afraid it will ruin that memory. It's no longer new or ground breaking, but when it was, just like all new things, was the best thing ever.
Well personaly, i really enjoyed Zelda 2. Even tho its not a good "Zeldagame" In it's time it was a pretty good game! (But hey its 2017 my oppinion probably triggered thousands of people)
im scared for his twilight princess review. you are allowed you own opinion but he was kind of biased on zelda 2 (which i know he said he was) but isn't twilight princess kind of hated (someone please confirm or deny) its my most favorite zelda of all time
Personally I've seen some people say that Twilight Princess is fun but pretty flawed, and a ton of comment sections spammed with "TP IS MY FAVORITE GAME, WHY IS IT SO HATED"
Oh u should worry I watched his streams and let's just say twilight princess is not going to be a fun time for any fanboys im talkin *mountains* of salt
I enjoyed your genuine words at the end, not saying the whole video wasn't genuine just that at the end I felt as thought you were speaking from a very personal place
*shrug* I see this as a fair assessment. With a franchise spanning 30 years, every game deserves to be graded on a sliding scale, and when it's not, you get salt. OOT transports me to my childhood. A zillion cut scenes and achingly slow text just makes me kind of fond.
Can you make a Handheld Zelda with a side of salt please? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the Oracle games, Link’s Awakening & Minish Cap. Oh! & ALBW of course.
So the original Zelda was Dark Souls before Dark Souls or Demon's Souls was even conceived....rip any semblence of originality in game measuring sticks.
Dark souls was inspired by the berserk series (very heavily tbh) as for whether berserk or Zelda came first it's hard to tell that said both are a really lore heavy series which makes them really good honestly
The 1 thing that leaves me full of salt is THAT WHY THE HELL IS IT CALLED LEGEND OF ZELDA IF IT'S ABOUT LINK? WHY ISN'T IT CALLED THE LEGEND OF LINK? WTF, MATE?!
Link, not always going by the name... Sometimes his name is Assface, buttnut, cockman, or whatever else I could fit into the name screen on my file select. though my favorite is "...you" since it seemed like everyone just forgot who Link was when talking to him. "It's ...you! The hero of time!" "Thanks for the help ...you." etc.
15:15 The exact same thing happened to me with Munch's Oddysee. My dad got so far in that game and I used to watch him all the time, but when I was like six I accidentally deleted his save file and he never played it again. :'(
SO! Things are getting changed a bit, the series will now be 4 parts, part 2 and 3 being out this month, and the finale next month. The next episode features Majora's mask and wind waker! It should be out this weekend!
Cool. Can't wait!
ScottFalco minish cap was absolutely amazing
ScottFalco This was so boring next time keep it interesting instead of bla bla bla this bla bla that
how so?
in that order Scotty? Hey it's fine that was a gud vijda.
was the joke of that entire horrific animation sketch that... Gorons have small legs?
cool
ikr
kinda ran a little longer than needed. probably could've worked in majora if he kept the joke quick
Yeah I was waiting for the payoff and it just never came. Good animation but it didn't really have a point.
Yeah, when you're going to kill off a character for funnies it has to be a quick one off, basically a slapstick gag. Honestly it got so weird I was turned off from the rest of the video in case there was another one.
Honestly, I think he added that because he felt that it was too short but thought that another segment would make it too long.
the minish cap its super good but no one talks about it
Thank you minish cap is god
Yeah!
@Big Butter Building but still not as good as lbtw
Hell yea, and don’t forget how broken the boomerang is in that game
it's a _smaller_ game compared to its siblings
I find Navi helpful because sometimes I put down the game for a long time, come back and forgot what I was doing.
The only time she's actually useful that and your first time ever playing when you don't know how to beat an enemy (save for the big fuckers by the forest temple and shadow link )
Yeah she's useful when she tells you the info the first time but if you dare go a different path...
HEY LISTEN!
I just want to go fishing Navi, please spare me-
I missed navi my first time fighting ganondorf
I always hear/see people say Fuc# Navi but praise Fi who is extremely annoying and tells you to take a break or tells you to go do the quest every five minutes. Fi is one of the reasons I won’t replay SS to see the ending while I regularly replay OoT.
You can actually do most of the Adult dungeons in OoT out of order.
You can do the Fire Temple before the Forest Temple.
You can do the Water Temple before the Fire Temple (but not before the Forest Temple).
You can do the Spirit Temple before the Shadow Temple.
And that's without exploits or partial completions (getting the item from a dungeon and then leaving).
Really? I gotta try that some time
Ælec Eoforheard oh yeah yeah can get the key item leave and do another dungeon. There are no barriers that disappear after beating a dungeon excluding Ganon’s tower.
i used to go to the water temple first, get the long shot then go back to the forest temple, that was before my 3ds broke...

I've done all the temples instead of shadow.
I prefer to call him "HIAAAGH"

Haha
Deathwolf sometimes hes young sometimes hes hot sometimes hes toon and sometimes hes Not but hes alway HIAAGH!

this better be worth it I saw a teen Titans go ad and a scary shot of Robin's ass for this

White Hawk they shouldn't let disturbing ads like that show on a family friendly channel
PlayerNamedQuix Holy shit, I clicked on this notification and when the video played, I got ANOTHER Teen Titans Go ad. At least it was somewhat more family-friendly lol
PlayerNamedQuix you have my sympathy
So to those wondering the next video should be out next month, it'll cover Majora's mask, Wind Waker, twilight princess and skyward sword! I know this was a little different than most salts and I probably could of written it better but I've never made a video this long, lemme know whatcha liked and dislike so I can learn and make the next episode even better!
ScottFalco loving this mini series! Keep it up!
ScottFalco wtf mon! Good video tho.
this is great
I loved the video, other than the fact that you would start rambling on basically stating the same point over and over again. That was especially shown in Ocarina of Time (yes I do agree with what you said, but it just seemed to be a bit too tedious)
ScottFalco I like this side of you personally
"Is this the krusty crab?" "No, this is quality content"
*PATRICK TRIGGERED*
No this is a dead meme
Shows Skyward Sword in the beginning
“I didn’t hate it”
Honestly, same. The motion controls were a little wacky but i absolutely liked the game and story itself
Oh me too
"Theres so much padding to the game"-Scott falco
"Theres so much, GOD DAMN waiting in ocarina"-Egoraptor
You forgot that Zelda 1 was the very first game to let you *save*.
The first CARTRIDGE that had a savings battery.
same thing
COUGH (PC games) COUGH ULTIMA
Is Zelda The Green One
And this is why gorons roll. Take notes kiddies.
Says there are no bad Zelda games.
Immediately shits all over Zelda II
bradley stone well Zelda 2 was shit so I concur
SanjiBaratie Zelda is easily my favorite franchise to anything.
But zelda 2 was objectively shit.
It had a good concept to it but ffs it was unbearably difficult and just SO irritating all the time
thats why you cheat it so u can have fun honestly though even with save states it was a hard game death mountain rapes you if you dont have the guide the axeguys are overrated in their difficult but the one that through their axes are bullshit i have a feeling if someone remade the game today it would be good
I never made it to the first dungeon.
The game tells you NOTHING.
Oot is fun, but u should know that you can press B to skip most dialogue entirely, including some of Navi and THE F***ING OWL, also ganons blood was red good job u have an early version
Oh the god damn ever talking OWL f*ck
"'Accidentally' deleted my dad's save." OK, sure
My favorite part was when Zelda saved the princess from Bowser
Beautiful.
Old Channel wasn't the princess called Pauline?
Old Channel you're a dumb fuck donkey kong stole the princess
Krazy Karma24 It's a joke
He knows. What he said was a joke. Ganon stole the princess. I hate to be that guy, but... Eh.
Oh dear this is a lot of salt
This isn't The Legend of Zelda with a side of salt... This is... SALT WITH A SIDE OF OCARINA OF TIME!!!!!
yup... i've heard plenty much better reviews. this was just about hating a bit of crap that weren't a problem. then saying i'm older, and it inspired me. everybody feel good. see yua.
yeah, this video covers like... 4 games
X Nade a 'plethora' if you will
Would you like some water with that salt?
Been waiting for the next Sequelitis.
ImmaSquidlng lol yea
Spidermanky 65 I that just how you respond to anything?
Yeah same. its much better for a video that talks about game design when the author actually understands game design.
Spidermanky 65 boi
still waiting lol
I love Ocarina Of Time being overrated
I love the game, I am proud of it being my favorite
I don't care about getting shitted on, everyone has their opinions, but it will always be my favorite game of all time.
I prefer majora's mask. I know it has flaws, but it's my favorite.
I kinda enjoyed OoT but it didn't had that feel to keep me intrested, and it killed the open-world'ish zelda formula
Never tried the original, but the 3DS remake is great! Although it can be a bit cryptic with its subtle hints (this only applies if you're not relying on the visions). Especially for 100%. Oh and fuck that well. I'm an adult in my 20s, but the music just keeps me on my toes in there. Well, until I got the Lens of Truth and used the sun song on the redeads.

"People can't say that there isn't a bad Zelda game."
Looks over at The Wand of Gamelon, and other CDI games
"I will only be covering the main console Zeldas."
I think you missed that part.
TheMarkipShow *_Those are not Zelda games. Do not speak of them._*
well theyre not made by nintendo so yeah they are no zelda games they were just licensed games (nintendo allowed them to use the name that was everything)
they're zelda games.
and a link to the past
When r u going to talk about the best Zelda games? The faces of evil, and the wand of gamelon?
Patrick Ngaeiouyen Don't forget about Zeldas Adventure as well...
Also Zelda of TRAAAAINS.
Yeah!
yeaah
don't forget about a link to the past. the totally not terrible game

So er... unless its been cancelled and I dont know (If so please tell me) When do we get more Sig and Tessa?
hes not focusing on that rn maybe someday
He can't afford to stop A Side of Salt for very long without bad money issues
Unfortunately this, if I had my choice, id work on Sig and Tessa all the time but its basically putting in months of work for zero pay
Maybe some day he can get sig and tessa to be financially beneficial. As for now, watch, like, sub, spread the word, and maybe donate some dolla bills.

"all games are well received"
>proceed to acknowledge the trash that is Zelda 2 and the CDI games
I got sad when you said your dad stopped playing once he lost his save. Does he still play any games at least?
Oh boy I can't wait for the skyward sword hate circlejerk because no-one could get the controls to work.
i did. [am i lucky?]
animayo it's not the controls. It's the shitty gameplay, boring story, and dreadful character design.
To bad cuz he actually likes it and so do I and I could get the controls to work
Zelda plebs right here.
Skyward Sword did have its flaws, but it also had some of the best bosses in the series. I never really understood the hate for it. Yea it wasn't the best Zelda game, but it wasn't a bad game or even the worse Zelda.
Also, the controls were a Bluetooth thing. If you had a Bluetooth device nearby, like a phone in your pocket, then it would mess with the motion plus controller. If you cleared the room of Bluetooth devices, then you could play for hours without re-calibrating.
*Angry comment even though the only zelda game I've played is a link between worlds*

i don't recommend a link to the past.
Bconroy328 you aren't funny
Subb Sticksus Trees because you don't have a console to play it?
Bconroy328 lol
That was a great video. At the end I was like "what? Its already over?" I just got so invested. Looking forward to the next one!
This is far better than any of the Overwatch-related content you've made. I can't wait to see the next part!
Someone who likes ALttP and doesn't outright despise OoT for not being ALttP3D? You dont see that everyday.
Finally! A person like me! Thx bro!
ALttP is still best girl
@egoraptor
You don't? I loved ALttP and OoT. I hated Majora's Mask though.
Wait, Oot isn't ALttP3D? I played both for the first time a year or two ago, and they were practically the same game. There were some differences, but I didn't notice many.
When your that one guy that can't complete a Zelda because it was to complicated.
TO THE ONLINE GUIDES
Reinhardt looks really small, and so does his shield, also why is he green?
Lol you silly billy that's not Reinhardt in the green that is Zelda!
Don't. You. Dare. Call. Link. Zelda.
Volt i mean he does have a massive hammer so i guess there are similarities
It’s Zelda
Lmao just get a joke
a) dude, the fact your animation passion was fueled by zelda spoke to me. zelda and pokemon were my doors to gaming, and led me to study game development. right on.
b) 90% sure i saw your Squid in my Splatoon 2 game. i kinda flipped ngl.
The love of the game is really felt with this video. I have a newfound sense of respect for you, man. Not just a humorist, but you actually mean what you do, so to speak.
This...
*THIS SMELLS LIKE EGORAPTOR*
This..
*THIS COMMENT SMELLS "ORIGINAL"*
Ah c'mon, Egoraptor wouldn't have cut me off!
Pretty sure he doesn't even know you exist.
Pengu Egoraptor would have change for a 20...
Egoraptor wouldn't be so rude.
2:40 that was dark
Most of it was dark
oh i remember zelda!
*he* was cool!
almost as cool as metroid the space marine!
Tryhard
HELL SPOON zelda is a girl
Zeldafan1022 that's the joke
Zeldafan1022, you just got JeBaited.
Oh that Metroid I love that guy. He is so cool in his armor.
By far my favorite salt series keep up the great work!
I didn't remember all these problems in Ocarina of time 😂 That's... just my entire childhood. Everytime I see images from this game I can't help but feeling nostalgia and happiness, and I think that's why in my heart, this is the best game ever made!
...I'm not sure I'd enjoy it if I'd play it today though...
It's still a decent game given the time it came out. May not have been the best for it's time but was still a big and fun(ish) part of my childhood honestly.
Honestly most of the time that I've had issues it's been a result of me missing something obvious. Take the forest temple for example: after getting the bow I went back to the room with the stairwell to kill the Poe, completely forgot about the other door in the Bow room so I spent an hour walking around in circles trying to figure out where to go.
OOT is controversial? Wtf? I've literally never heard anything but good things about it and absolutely loved the game myself. It was my first Zelda game as a kid and it's still a solid contender for favorite game ever for me even today. I've played through it multiple times and have done so recently, so it's not just nostalgia, I genuinely love the game. I"m pretty sure Metacritic still has it rated as like one of the top games of all time (If not #1, although I didn't check that recently so Idk if that's still true). I'm not disagreeing with you, it's an opinion and an opinion literally cannot be wrong, I'm just really confused because I've never heard anything about OOT except how great it is.
I used to love it a lot but while I still like it, its not even top 5 for me anymore. There are way better zelda games out there. Many many more.
Brady McLean Ever heard of Egoraptor?
Brady McLean I love Ocarina of Time but everything said in this video is 💯 % true.
Why are you skipping the handheld games? Link's Awakening and the Oracle games are very solid entries in the series that helped define the series, especially Ocarina of Time.
Piks Cast are you saying Ocarina is a handhold, cuz it's not.
I got linked by a friend (he told me that you used the wrong warp tutorial vid I made). Awesome video, Scott! I never knew about your channel but I'm going to stick around for sure :)
This is like, the most human thing I've ever heard out of anyone's mouth about the Legend of Zelda series XD LoZ is most favorite games series', and I don't think I've ever heard anyone word it any better. Everything you said is a wonderful example of how (I feel) people should see the games. Most see it as controls based, and some see it as story based. Others just ignore all of it together, but the way you've worded it, music, story, progression, controls. Throwing every aspect into one, referencing the game AS A WHOLE, the way it should be. I'm actually surprised cus I expected it to be an animation making fun of the whole series and calling it crap, and I was prepared to laugh it off, but this is actually very insightful XD I know you don't need to hear me say it, but good job dude xD I thinks you've gained a surbcrabler :D
You can definitely skip and speed up dialogue in OoT...
A lot of the things he said don't make sense. They also apply to other Zelda titles often to worse degrees without mention in their respective reviews.
err.. looks at zelda's lullaby conversation and ganon's encounter cutscene
but mayority of the text is unskipable
Navi’s unskippable which is bull
Ffs people, he's allowed to upload other things than overwatch
The only thing wrong with this video was the animation more specifically the "joke".
Oddly enough, I didn't even know he uploaded OW stuff. I remember him from his older animations and didn't know that he started uploading videos again.
Ovarian of time 3d was my first Zelda game and I loved it
That last point about the biggest problem with OoT being that we grew up is fucking perfect. This is exactly the reason why the grandeur of the game has worn off on most people, and is the answer to that issue that I've never been able to put into words until you did. Well fucking done ScottFalco!
This is literally everything I've been missing for years in terms of gaming comedy and critical analysis since Sequelitis unexpectedly stopped happening literally years ago. Subbed after minute two. Great job.
That bit with the Gorons man. It was simultaneously hilarious and accurate about how ridiculous such a huge creature having stick figure limbs is.
OHMYGOD I FOUND SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T HATE SKYWARD SWORD
Skyward Sword is one of my favourites
Duddridge1 agreed
Gage Stewart I think Skyward sword is a good game.
I hated it, but it's not without its merits. The story is one of the best ever in a Zelda game and the art direction is phenomenal.
I hated just about everything else, but it had brights spots for sure.
Skyward Sword is my first loz game and honestly my favorite. I LOVE ZELDA IN THAT GAME SO SO MUCH
And i really like motion controls too so
What game inspired you to be salty? Overwatchu? Lugu of liegends? Runescape?
mahbeh tuf tew
"we grew up..."
that line hit me hard man. I can't remember a time when as a boy where I don't spend every weekends to play my ps1 or go to a friends house to play link to the past (😜), but as I grow up I notice I game less and less now. But does that mean I start to dislike many of the games I played in the past? no, I don't hate them, because they were fun. At the end of the day thats what a video game does, to give us a good time, so we can have fun within it.
I think tying into the "we grew up'' thing it's true when you grow up reality hits like a freight train you come to this conclusion of life is shit and as a child we tend to have a very open mind when it comes to concepts and imagination as well as hopes and asperations and dreams untill whap like a deku but to the face your ass sees the light :T as a kid we love the idea of out there concepts sadly alot of us lose that (SpongeBob to Squidward syndrome basically) everyone loved self inserting as children and letting our minds do what childish minds do. True we come to terms with the snowflakeyness of it all but as it's said in this video it's nice to feel special in a world that loves shitting on people having those moments. Reality is cruel it's nice to escape at times.
Nice job on this video man. I like how it was delivered.
That little skit in the beginning was really well put together 😄
In my opinion oot isnt my favorite zelda *cough* skyward *cough* sword *cough* but i think it has aged really well. It was inspiring,a dn the puzzles, music and story were great.
BoBoMosasaur it really hasn't. I have played it for the first time recently and it's dreadful to go through. Not just the graphics but the gameplay and characters i just couldnt enjoy it. Sure back then it was a big deal but i doubt many new players will love zelda oot especially after playing something like botw
good to see someone else likes that game.
Majd Saade *cough* oot 3D
Majd Saade i played recently for the first and it is my favorite
Okay, this honestly made me realize how bias I am towards OoT, but it didn't change my mind.. Still my favorite Zelda game honestly.
OoT isn't highly debated, it's considered one of the best games. Idk where you got that info from, but most people enjoy this game
A lot of people argue over it's quality now, and many people consider it overrated, and say that it hasn't aged well, and if I'm to be honest, I kind of agree
(Don't kill me)
BigHailFan well no mostly just its overated.
where were you for the last 4 years
Zer0dog What's weird is that almost all the complaints he made could be carried over to his favorite game MM. Yet he did not mention them once in his much lengthier review. It's almost as if those "problems" aren't really the issue.
The Pure Trash of The Internet I don't care about all of this , i love every zelda game equaly. Exept Zelda 2....fuck zelda2
ScottFalco complains about "cutscenes for everything", but having recently watched an LP of a romhack of Ocarina of Time where the hacker didn't always include those cutscenes showing what unlocked or changed... you kinda learn to appreciate them. Yeah, sometimes they're unnecessary, but you notice when they're not there and you suddenly have to search for the switch or treasure chest that just appeared.
Navi moonlighting as Captain Obvious is pretty annoying, but you have to remember that these games are designed to be accessible to young children, as well as adults.
you mentioning and showing a link to the past gave me goosebumps, as a kid I didn't understand the game as I was just too young to grasp this game back than and now I think I'd rather watch someone play it instead like a lets play
Ya i love the part in the game where link pulled up with a glock and killed the goron 100% would play 👍
I loved twilight princess💕
Its my fav game too
well, you can play the gamecube version, doesn't have any motion controls.
Queen Ruiz I love that game!!!
this remeinds me of egorapters reveiw of zelda oot
*Walks to goron to talk*
30 seconds later...
JESUS CHRIST!!!
That escalated quickly.
I loved this and can only focus on the very last bit. We grew up! OoT was amazing when it first came out and was everything to me which is why I don't go back and play it again because I am afraid it will ruin that memory. It's no longer new or ground breaking, but when it was, just like all new things, was the best thing ever.
Wind Waker use to be my favorite... Then Breath of the Wild came out.
Well that escalated
for "research"?
*cough*
sorry I chocked on some salt...
DiamondKid14 oh god im dying
Don't worry Scott Falco. Skyward sword wasn't that bad.
I too accidentally deleted a parent's Zelda save and thus claimed the game for myself. But it was my mam's save file in Link's Awakening.
Wooo! Loved this video, and I can't wait for the next Zelda one!
this comment section has more salt than the video lol
Many people don't like others criticizing games they like, which is unfortunate and unrealistic.
10:22
Then you wouldn't like The Binding Of Isaac...
He said he doesn't need a bullet hell game _in LoZ._
Well personaly, i really enjoyed Zelda 2. Even tho its not a good "Zeldagame" In it's time it was a pretty good game!
(But hey its 2017 my oppinion probably triggered thousands of people)
Lmao at 3:10 words so serious and then it just Fades out and the happy pot music comes back and that one Gorgon picks his head up like huuuuuuh 😂🤣😂
awesome video as always! Keep up the great work!!!
Call me a special snowflake but Zelda 2 was my shit yo, felt so satisfying to finish it
People actually finished that game?
Same.
Yeah it’s satisfying to beat a hard games ass
the story in a nutshell: green dude saves princess from a giant pigman
banananana Or a demon, or a Gerudo, the games are VERY inconsistent as to what Ganon is
and now he some evil shadow thing that gets bopped by some bright arrows
im scared for his twilight princess review. you are allowed you own opinion but he was kind of biased on zelda 2 (which i know he said he was) but isn't twilight princess kind of hated (someone please confirm or deny) its my most favorite zelda of all time
Personally I've seen some people say that Twilight Princess is fun but pretty flawed, and a ton of comment sections spammed with "TP IS MY FAVORITE GAME, WHY IS IT SO HATED"
Oh u should worry I watched his streams and let's just say twilight princess is not going to be a fun time for any fanboys im talkin *mountains* of salt
when u talked about zelda 1 i just shuddered remembering everything you described.
I enjoyed your genuine words at the end, not saying the whole video wasn't genuine just that at the end I felt as thought you were speaking from a very personal place
I honestly think you were too hard on Zelda 2. Sure, it wasn’t a great game, and it did get pretty tedious, but it had some great ideas.
Can you do Pikmin with a side of salt?
I love me some mass slavery- I mean Pikmin.
Zelda's the green dude, right?
Boston Bubbles no
Bora Boyacı Damn! I was so sure that was his name!
Boston Bubbles I think his name is ganon? 99.99% sure.
*TRIGGERED*
Boston Bubbles tRIggErEd
*shrug* I see this as a fair assessment. With a franchise spanning 30 years, every game deserves to be graded on a sliding scale, and when it's not, you get salt. OOT transports me to my childhood. A zillion cut scenes and achingly slow text just makes me kind of fond.
Can you make a Handheld Zelda with a side of salt please? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the Oracle games, Link’s Awakening & Minish Cap. Oh! & ALBW of course.
So the original Zelda was Dark Souls before Dark Souls or Demon's Souls was even conceived....rip any semblence of originality in game measuring sticks.
Dark souls was inspired by the berserk series (very heavily tbh) as for whether berserk or Zelda came first it's hard to tell that said both are a really lore heavy series which makes them really good honestly
The 1 thing that leaves me full of salt is THAT WHY THE HELL IS IT CALLED LEGEND OF ZELDA IF IT'S ABOUT LINK? WHY ISN'T IT CALLED THE LEGEND OF LINK? WTF, MATE?!
Medicinal IMO, The fact that legend and link start with L makes it sound better (i know theres a word for that but i forgot it)
NIGHTMAREGuy pretty sure that's alliteration
Yay school taught me something
TheBaconBros yes that one 👍
Link may be doing the adventuring, but Zelda is the one keeping the legend.
In Japan is called hyrulian tails
Yea Scott we know you want doomfist nerfs
Link, not always going by the name...
Sometimes his name is Assface, buttnut, cockman, or whatever else I could fit into the name screen on my file select.
though my favorite is "...you" since it seemed like everyone just forgot who Link was when talking to him.
"It's ...you! The hero of time!" "Thanks for the help ...you." etc.
15:15 The exact same thing happened to me with Munch's Oddysee. My dad got so far in that game and I used to watch him all the time, but when I was like six I accidentally deleted his save file and he never played it again. :'(
