mmmm white man video essay
lmao they love this game
@@user-ui3jo1um8b ?
I was 7. I watched my brother play OoT with my dad. Saw Gohma for the first time. Ran out of the room crying. 10/10 best game ever.
God that title screen music gets me every time
oh my god that boy aqua
for the next 90 minutes and 1 second final exams dont exist
BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR EXAMS KING 🫡
Oh my god I can relate, good luck😊
Dude I wish I had half your tenacity. Such an ambitious project again and the quality bar never dropped even when the quantity was daunting! Did not feel like 90 minutes at all, this was such a heartwarming love letter to a classic. Absolutely adore how you marry your voiceover gags with fresh on screen stuff(you making out with spirit temple is literally peak RUclips). You have a real knack for being able to get real meticulous and keep it interesting, every videoessayist is jealous! I think a huge strength of yours that goes under the radar is your narration. It’s damn hard to recite events in a compelling way but you do so in a manner that sucks the viewer in for story time around the campfire. I revere you as a creator even more with every upload, hope you can give yourself a break! ❤️🔥
Xander you are absolutely the goat forever and always. Thank you for being the kindest and most supportive friend. Literally means the world to me!!!! Can't wait to HSM with you soon
So happy you mentioned how underrated the Spirit Temple music is! When I was a kid, I often turned on the game and went straight to the temple just to listen to the music - especially the incredible way it starts!
Loved your video 🙌
I was 10 years old when this came out. I beat it without a guide and I will never forget the sense of accomplishment and sadness I felt when it was finally over. It's 100 percent my favorite game.
Nobody gonna see this comment so I say I'M GAY AND I LOVE MEN*
Nah, I see it lol.
Just like Ganondorf fr fr.
U right, I ain’t doing it
@@ghost-do3hu no, you don't
I'm gay and I love women bro
It‘s ok to be gay
The Bottle being used as a tennis racket is actually a reference to the Bug Catching Net doing the same thing in A Link to the Past.
I didn't know about the Bug Catching net until I started playing alttp randomizer.
Who knows, there's no quotes saying it was
Hard disagree with anyone that says Spirit Temple before Shadow, the game says you need the boots to cross the desert, and you get the boots inside the Shadow Temple. Bloinking your way over the desert doesn't count and going into the Shadow Temple, getting the Boots and leaving is also bloinking in it up. Spirit is the final temple thematically too since you use the time travel elements inside the dungeon and not just some mini dungeon well. You last see the owl at the Spirit Temple and pretty sure Navi even says Shadow before Spirit.
Although gameplay wise I agree the order of the medallions implies spirit before shadow and also the order of the ocarina songs. Maybe originally it was intended but when you play shadow before spirit feels better
Another reason I believe shadow comes before spirit, is because in the games code, you can only get the nocturne of shadow after you have the forest, fire, and water medallions. Without those 3 you can't activate the cutscene in kakariko. That gives me hard belief that the game wants you to do shadow before you do spirit. Plus I think fighting the two witches who are known to be Ganondorf's mothers just before you fight ganondorf himself is more poetic than fighting a weird tortured beast monster thing.
@@blue_hoodie21they’re Ganondorf’s mothers???????
@@Snugboy yeah, consider them as his foster moms.
@@Snugboy Yep. More or less foster mothers but still mothers nonetheless
I was born in 89. Was there during the release but there's something great about a young squire going through and experiencing it. Subscribed.
After almost a year of sporadically playing TOTK (first Zelda game since becoming a father!) and still not completing it, I really miss how self contained and linear this game is. And oh how I miss proper dungeons!!!
me too man i just became a father 9 months ago still havent beaten totk im on my first ever playthrough of OoT and man it really does hold up as well as people say i cant actually remember the last time i played a game so fun
Watching Gen Z review a game from my childhood is both perplexing and hilarious and odd in so many ways.
I was 8 when this game came out. I cannot exaggerate how amazing this game was playing it through the first time: the plot twists, the fact you changed into an adult, the shock of being tricked into fighting Phantom Ganon in the forest temple, and lastly the revelation of Sheik being Zelda figuratively blew mine and my cousins mind.
I thankfully still have my OG N64 and copy of OoT. I cannot wait to play it with my kids when they’re old enough.
This is the first time I've seen someone discussing the order of the Shadow and Spirit Temple. I always thought it was obvious that Spirit is last, even given its area. You have access to the desert much later than everything else, and even its narrative with the boss being the witches and the mechanics of the child/adult link to solve the puzzles, wraps everything up perfectly before the final battle.
Oh man you never disappoint. thank you so much for this Video! OOT was my childhood (im 37 years old) and I hold it dear to my heart. And I really really like your humor and style of your videos I'm so happy watching this. Its 6 am in the morning on a monday and this video made my day . Thank yooou ! Love from Germany ❤️❤️❤️
Ocarina Time Baby, let's hear Snug go on about his VERY hidden love of Zelda
It’s so hidden im kinda surprised you even knew about it??
This is so well done! Absolutely amazing. Thank you for all the effort and time you put into this!
I was ten when this game came out. My family got it close to, if not on release, and when we played through it we loved everything about it. Less than a year later and I was fully bored with it. All classic Zelda games fall pray to this. The games have puzzles that have one solution, and once found or solved the games loses most of their fun. For all the revolutions in gaming this game made, now it is just a tiered old man in a young man's world. I'm sure that had I never played it as a child I would find it really fun, but I did and now I can't find any enjoyment out of it.
36:36 YOU. YOU GET ME. the Shadow Temple is only as scary as a Spirit Halloween and I stand by that
Eating food and a Snugboy video?! this is so peak
I'm a 90's kid. My first zelda game was a link to the past, I played it at my cousin house but ocarina of time was the first game that made me love video game. It truly felt like a revolution at the time, younger me understood that I was playing something special. By today standards I don't think you can call OOT the best game ever made but at the time of its release I believe you could have made a good argument to back up that statement. Anyway it's still a fun game to play to this day
that is so cool!! thank you for sharing!!
Same. This game came out when I was 12. I originally played link to the past and loved it. But when Ocarina of time came out it was such a magical experience. Nothing else have even come close to what that was like back in the mid 90s.
Man fr in 98-2003 this game WAS Huge and the graphics WERE awesome. This game really was bombastic af for the time and blew my 5 year old mind when it came out. This game really is one of the best games of all time. Im glad to see someone who is younger give this game some love.
The "Why you just don´t eat the boulder?" line from terminalmontage´s video on OoT always pops in my head everytime I see someone talking about Dodongo´s Cavern lmfao
They eat fossilized dodongos. Dodongos cavern is the internals of an ancient fossilized dodongos many times the size of king dodongo.
@@dustybees6308 YES AND ITS SO COOL
Ship of Harkinian is now such a good way to play OOT. Lot of optional enhancements that fix some of the more annoying bits that would be solved in later games. Also, modern texture packs and it not being an emulator, but a native port instead. Improvements such as faster text speed, block pushing speed and ladder climbing. Can change default response to the owl to "Yes." Can have golden skulltulas spawn during the day as well. Little things like that.
I'm one that doesn't find the water temple all that bad. Most players seem to get stuck at the point where they need another key at the hookshot waterfall platform puzzle on the 3rd level. Most miss that there's a secret hole under the floating platform inside the center tower when you raise the water level to level 2. I like that the dungeon requires you to go back to other areas and complete stuff that weren't possible earlier on.
As for the Spirit vs. Shadow debate, the game prods you toward Shadow Temple. Navi hints at going to Kakariko village after Water Temple. From there you meet Shiek again, who teaches you the Nocturn of Shadow. There are zero hints in the game to go to Gerudo Valley at all after Water Temple. That being said, I like: Well -> Gerudo Valley quests -> Shadow Temple -> Spirit Temple.
I have to say, I'm about to turn 30 myself, and ever since I was around 4 or 5, this was the game that sparked my love for what video games could be. This is my favourite game ever made, and it was honestly really cool and heartwarming seeing someone significantly younger than myself in this day and age, have such a genuine love and appreciation for a game that is so incredibly dear to me!
First video I've seen of yours, and it was such an incredibly well well crafted video and analyses of OoT that I'm subbing and definitely checking out your other videos!
PS. Only thing that stuck out to me as a little incorrect was the "Boss Music". If you're unaware, there's actually 2 "Boss Themes"; the original that you hear during your first Boss fight against Gohma and MOST of the bosses. The second is a different song that plays as the Boss Theme to the Fire Dungeons King Dodongo and Volvagia fights!
Every single time snugman uploads is the best, always makes my day. Great video dude ❤
Wow, great video bro, really cool man, I loved to hear about your opinion, really well made bro GG
Replaying it currently again for like the 20th time, and its better than ever 👌
I'm willing to throw hands over your song of storms take
Fr though finding out that you were born in 2002 is more than enough motivation for me to finally launch my RUclips channel this summer. I always figured people wouldn't be interested in my opinions on older Zelda games because like you, I was barely a thought in my parents mind when the N64 titles came out, but idk I sat through this whole video and I know I'm not the only one lmao. Keep up the great work man I enjoy these long form Zelda retrospectives!
You’ve got this!!! Best of luck launching your channel!!!!!!
also something that i realized when i beat ocarina of time a few months ago, ocarina of time is the only game where ive genuinely cried at the ending, i dont know if its nostalgia or just how good it is, but it hit me so hard recently that when i heard the bells from the master sword scene and saw the final scene with link and zelda i just cried, it hit so hard
awesome video, really thoughtful and really funny all throughout
you keep getting more and more based by the day friend. thank you for watching
Snugboy this video proves why you are truly the biggest youtube channel in Australia
Yaaay new snugboy video 🩷
Lovely as always
Please do the TOTK video!! More Zelda content from you is always cozy
Perfect thing to watch while procrastinating about finals!! thanks Snug!!
I remember when OoT came out and we got it for our N64. My dad tried to play it, got through the Deku Tree dungeon and then at Gohma, he quit. Because he didn't understand (somehow) to use the camera to look around for it. My mom always got headaches from the 3D space so she never played it. They never could make the jump to the 3D aspect of games.
Then one day i picked up where my dad left off, doing what I always do and press every button until I solved what the game wanted me to do (use the camera to find Gohma) and from there, I was hooked. When I was real little, ALttP was my introduction to Zelda, but OoT was special for me because it was my adventure. I would watch my parents play ALttP, but never really played it til years later, after OoT. For me, OoT is what hooked me in as a Zelda fan. But I'm like you, I played Twilight Princess a bit more than repeat plays of OoT and also did fun glitch runs on TP, so TP at times edges out in some regards. xD
As for Zelda = Sheik reveal, honestly, I was like, "Oh, this is like Mulan, cool". And that was it. Not a lot going on in my kid brain.
Don't want to blow your mind but you can do the Fire Temple before the Forest Temple btw
Snug and Zelda, my favorite duo and in extra long form too :D You're so talented, how do you do it? How is this another masterpeice? How did you manage to break my heart at the reminder of all the thoughts and feelings I had as a kid that were recontexualized as an adult in the unending stuggle that is adulthood and then mend it again with the musical break down as only you can? Oh and also how did I not guess that I would be witness to your attempts at making out with the wall?? Some things cannot be unseen ;) But seriously this game means so much to me and I loved loved loved watching this!
Leminnie you are the goat thank you so much for always being so supportive
You're absolutely right. I was 12 when Ocarina of time came out and played a ton of Super Nintendo. When the n64 came out and I played Mario 64 it felt like magic. It was absolutely mind blowing. Kids today really have no idea. There haven't been really any massive changes between next gen consoles since then. Link To The Past was my favorite Super Nintendo game so I remember how excited I was for Ocarina. Back then we didn't have RUclips to look up trailers. I remember seeing the 1st screen shots in a Nintendo Power magazine and was just awestruck. Then when it finally came out it truly did feel like a masterpiece. I have a ton of great childhood memories from that time involving the n64. So many amazing games. I'm now 38 and honestly I don't enjoy gaming nearly as much. I'm sure some of that is because I'm just older and I MYSELF has changed but I think the games have changed 2. The latest Zelda games now like BOTW & TOTK I really enjoyed but honestly there was just too much going on with them. Too much time in the menu (attaching an item to an arrow) and a lot of other complaints. I long for the simpler games back when I was a kid. The Super Nintendo-Gamecube era. That's why I love watching videos like this. It takes me back to that time in my life where there was little to worry about and we were experiencing the golden age of video games.
Thank you for sharing!! I am so jealous like I wish I could have been there for that jump.
@@Snugboy You're welcome. Your work is amazing. Yes it was a great time to be alive. The world is incredibly different now. There is a documentary on Netflix about Blockbuster. It was beautiful and I got tears in my eyes. As amazing as streaming is there's something missing. I remember being a kid and a young adult walking around a Blockbuster or some other video rental place and deciding what to get plus snacks they sold. The excitement and wonder is not at all just scrolling through Netflix or another streaming platform. There was no trailers back then you could easily look up. You just had to judge by the box or word of mouth. So there was a sense of wonder that is missing now. I feel old talking about this stuff but it's true. Very different world now. Just like Blockbuster vs Netflix and how movie watching has changed so has video games. The games coming out today are awesome but there's something missing.
THE OCARINA VIDEO IS HERE LES GOOOOOOO
IT IS AND ENJOY
I used the Prima complete guide but I didnt have the Sheik is Zelda thing ruined for me. It made my jaw drop amd i couldnt stop smiling. Makes me happy to see younger kids playing these games and doing movies on RUclips and showing appreciation for the work that went into them. I was 11 win this game came out and it is still my favorite Zelda
I thought I was going to bed and then I saw there was a new upload, so decided to watch this instead. It's been a physically taxing couple of days, so the little "congrats on getting up today" bit was appreciated lol.
Also, please do drop your hot takes on Tears of the Kingdom!!! Your videos are the best. Never shut up, Snug! 😄
I still have it and replayed it during the pandemic. I also listen to Zelda music during work
As an ancient fucking relic in their 30s the jump to 3D was mind boggling. I had a difficult time adjusting. It made me motion sick even.
Great watch, lots of nostalgia, even though I grew up with the master quest bonus disc because I'm just too young lol
I was there 3000 ye...I mean 25 years ago, I was 10 when the game came out. It was something I've never seen before, a revolution.
17:53 If you want to feel even cooler, you can perform a quicker speedrunning trick and that is to backward jump over it!
This video essay makes me wanna boot up my N64 and snort the game again, and then go through Master Quest on the Gamecube. Thx for this man!
I agree with the always keeping the Ocarina slotted, all my game, as soon as I got the fairy ocarina from Saria, down-c slot and then considering the slingshot/bow was always left-c, I basically had to just go on with the game with right-c as the "majority boomerang/hookshot but also the only slot I am willing to give to the context of the puzzle item button".
THIS WAS SO CUTE AND I UPVOTE U MAKING A TOTK VIDEO
YOURE THE BEST THANKS FOR BEING SO NICE AS ALWAYS
Goddamnit, Snug. Still putting out the most cleverly edited videos on this whole website.
You are the goat fr thank you for always having my back man :,)
Yes, do a video on TotK. I liked it BUT, it cannot repeat the same magic and wonder as BotW. It really needed to do way more to feel like a proper sequel to BotW. For the length of time it was in development, I really expected more.
I can’t believe it took that one Fire Temple Goron (and a little Goronitarian spirit) just to learn the spacebar trick…
LMAO
Snug boy is back!!!
replayed this game for the first time in over 10 years a few months ago ... fully expected it to not hold up at all. damn, I was blown away. it was just as magical as I remembered as a kid (if not more). one of the few times my nostalgia actually lived up to expectations.
It still baffles me you don't have well over a million subscribers by now.
Absolutely amazing taste in video games (might be biased here, lmao)
Very reasonable and good takes
Amazing editing
Great humour
@RUclips get him in everyone's algorithm, jeez
This is so sweet thank you so much!! I am still astounded at 33 thousand!!! That’s an incredible amount of people!! I am very lucky!!
@@Snugboy and you definitely deserve every single one us of! 🫶🏻
Every time I see you uploaded another video I get really excited and look forward to having a chill night off and watch it with some snacks ☺️
OKAY, THIS VIDEO IS FIRE!! 🔥🔥🔥
I've seen your first Legend of Zelda Ocarina Of Time video & while you made fun of it. I'm glad you improved since that video. That video isn't that bad, but I'm glad you had fun messing with your own stuff. 😂
I really like your jokes, a lot of creativity & love your breaking down in tears jokes. Your editing was top-notch as well!! I had to watch this video three times to get all of your jokes & amazing editing!! 😍
OKAY, I SERIOUSLY NEED TO SEE MORE ZELDA VIDEOS FROM YOU!! YOU ARE KILLING THESE VIDEOS, EVERY TIME YOU COVER IT. I WATCH IT!! 😱😱😱
Thank you for making a peak video, I'm going to rewatch all of your Zelda videos again!! (Twilight Princess is the best Zelda game!! ❤️)
OriginalKingJulian thank you for this super kind comment!! I really appreciate you always showing up to these videos. Means the best. Legend!!
@Snugboy I tried my best, but I have been busy lately. I'm just glad you made my day with this masterpiece!! 👌🏼
yo snugboy, i raaaarely ever write aaaaany comments but i love this video and your passion for OoT. i mean, i feel very similar, zelda oot was one of my first real adventures in the 3 dimensional world. i remember vividly I'd never make it past the forest temple when i was younger. getting back to it with the age of 15 (?) on the gamecube and never got past the shitiy daemonic water temple until i eventually beat the game after countless of tries on the damn wii u a couple of months later!! such a wonderful game, and yea there's loads of nostalgia but it nevertheless deserves to be called a damn masterpiece.
have a good one snugboy!
thank you for sharing this!! I love how persistent you were lmaooo
Good to see this game still resonates with those born after its release. I would certainly watch your take on TotK.
Just started watching the video, but im gonna bet in advance:
Twilight Princess will be mentioned at least 10 times in this Ocarina of Time video.
lmao bro ok you caught me ok
Damn, as a 90’s kid who still remembers his older brother telling him we got the game when getting picked up from summer camp, I can confirm the plot twist of shiek being Zelda as unparalleled and next level.
The reality? I never got past the water temple and just played my brother’s file after he beat it. Only to finally play the game all the way through yeeeears later.
Great video, literally going to replay it after watching. Been a few years so it’ll be nice and fresh.
7:39 Twilight princess glaze AND a kiss? I’m subscribing now
Growing up with an NES/SNES, I could NOT comprehend how the game was supposed to work when I first saw the beta screenshots for this game in Nintendo Power. It blows my mind when little kids nowadays are just born with this type of knowledge. 😂This was such an impactful game for me (like FFVII)...though, when I grew up it wasn't my top favorite anymore...like FFVII. 😂
I did think it was funny when later copies had green blood for Ganon because BLOOD! Loq
Agreed on Sheik being a dude, I always assumed that the transformation was magical somehow. It also definitely seems like the original intention- the in-game dialogue referring to Sheik as a young man, and looking at his art for Ocarina. Like... Sheik has pecs, lol
My first time playing Zelda was with my brothers copy of Links Awakening. Then my Dad got me a Gamecube that came with the Zelda Collection, when scrolling through the games, I thought the Mask on Majoras Mask looked cool and played that one first, figured out it was a sequel when I went over to OoT and the game was less impressive and the only transformation was from Kid to Adult. OoT is definitely a big game when it comes to what it inspired in games from then on, but MM and LttP are def better games. Great video man.
I was 10 at the time. I still remember feeling the anxiety waiting for the game to come out, reading all nintendo magazines and drawing Link all the time. We dont have that anymore, really. Feeling old now thanks.
Ayo an hour and a half? The fans are well fed, ty snugboy
There’s so much I could say about OoT. The music is my favorite of the franchise. I have so many great memories of my younger brother and I renting it back in ‘98 over Christmas Break, and we couldn’t figure out how to get into Dodongo’s Cavern (give me a break, I was 10, and he was 7). This moment birthed our tradition of playing Zelda with nothing but Christmas lights on during the Holiday Season. The story was fun as a kid, and is really meaningful now as an adult that is nearing my late 30’s with a child of my own that is almost 10. It’s my favorite of the franchise (TP is an extremely close second).
Also, I would have sworn the copy we rented as kids had Link make a “Tee-tee” noise after he yawned and stretched if you’ve been idle for a bit. I’ve never heard any other time than that though, in any other copies so it probably isn’t real.
Also, I’d love to hear your thoughts on Tears of the Kingdom. I liked your video on BotW.
Ocarina of Time is a very important game. It took everything from Link To The Past and put it in 3D. Sure the game is pretty vanilla nowadays, but without this game, we wouldn’t have gotten Twilight Princess.(The GOAT) Plus, there’s the Ship of Harnikin PC port that enhances the game and makes it more open, and the 3DS version which fixes up the Water Temple, no boring and slow text scrolling, better item placement, and (in my opinion) better graphics that are faithful to the artwork of the original game.(sorry for this long comment)
Him: Claims to be treading water in life...
Also Him: opens a seal version of N64 Ocarina to read manual instead of selling...
Yo wtf I never knew that thing about the space bar that’s crazy, thanks goron dude
Woold like one of em WW videos one day for sure!
Finally, someone who pronounces Nabooru's name correctly! 😊
YEAHHH- can't wait to watch this in the morning
great video, and yes i would LOVE to see a video of your thoughts on totk :)) as someone who didn't play this game as a kid i've always thought this game was super overrated and just a less good version of twilight princess since they partially in some sections have the same formula, but as i've grown up i've grown to appreciate this game for what it is and realized the themes it presents really are special and unique. but still TWILIGHT PRINCESS GOAT
I started playing this thanks to NSO. After playing TOTK you can definitely tell 3D Zelda has come a long way since then.
When Snugboy makes a Zelda video, my day gets 10x better.
At 7:00, when he shoots an arrow into the sun, what does that accomplish? It played a cutscene, but it didn't show the outcome. 25 years later, and i have never seen this before 🤔
It’s how you get the fire arrows :)
@Snugboy oh, I must have done that as a kid and forgot lol
what makes this game even more amazing is that the few complaints you had were either improved or fixed in OOT 3D on the 3DS. That game to me is the definitive version of OOT.
Cursed Comment: "Man, Link could blow Ganandorf while standing straight up."
Reasonable response: "You're right, but please shut up."
Shout out bro fire commentary
I was there when it released and while i was only 8 it's still the best game of all time and it changed my life.. also FYI i've yet to play a fishing sim as good as ocarina.. you're wrong it's insane
this is the video oot deserves
Not sure if Snug will ever see this comment, but I just wanna say that it was thanks to your content (and Xander’s Cut) I decided to open up my RUclips channel. I am trying my best to do the best content I can do, but I wanna thank you for giving me the push to do it.
Fantastic video man, and best of success.
I see everything 👁👄👁
Keep making stuff!! You've got this!!! We're all rooting for you!!
GRACIAS AMIGO!! 💚
Look who’s back
Yeessss give us your TOTK hot takes. I want that spice!!
OG guide book had the spirit temple last. Closest to cannon I can think of.
Also yes please to a TOTK video!
im 30 now and played this game when i was 5 for the first time
majoras mask is still my favourite, remember me and my dad being in snowhead temple together at like 7-8
The title screen music always brings us back.
Sheiks theme also has Zelda’s lullaby hidden inside of it, if you listen closely to the last part of it, it plays the notes quickly before going back to the first part.
It mirrors how Sheik always comes and leaves quickly before her true identity could be revealed
I DON'T HAVE THE TIME FOR ANOTHER OoT PLAYTHROUGH WHY DID YOU UPLOAD THIS?!?!
A few notes:
1.) I believe that you can tell where the water will get raised to in the Water Temple based on Link's vertical position when he plays the song. So if he's at the marker that's high up, the water gets raised high up. At least that's how I remember it.
2.) There's a line in the game that says that the Gerudo sneak away to find boyfriends in Castle Town and that's how they get pregnant. By relying on Hylian men. Definitely a fascinating culture lol.
3.) I'd love to hear your thoughts on TOTK! Please make a video! :D
Anyways, this video was great. I really enjoyed listening to this at work today :)
Yeah, one of the gossip stones mention point number 2
Absolute BANGER of a video, and also yes please share opinions on TOTK so I can agree with what I’m sure will be a based opinion 👏🏼
idk why but ive always loved the water temple, sure the menu boot switching is ass but playing through ship of harkinian makes it sooooo much more enjoyable
OOT was my OG Zelda, never shut up about it. I'll always be back.
Oh yeah, I was 6 years old when came out on Mexico and it was mind blowing, my stupid little kid mind can't process how the game was in 3D, it was the first game that really made think I could do anything I want (The next game to do so was GTA San Andreas).
It really was an experience once in a life time.
I like your videos a lot, and i subscribed to you when i saw your Twilight Princess video beause its my favorite too- its so underappreciated! Ive been arguing with people my whole life about how good TP is, and im glad to see that its getting more love these days from a younger generation of gamers.
Im curious though, you said TotK disappointed you?? Ive been seeing that critique a lot. There are so many videos calling totk a disappointment and i simply do not understand, i think its a phenomenal, gorgeous, exciting game. I couldnt get into botw because the open world stresses me out, but i started playing a few months before totk release because i wanted to be able to appreciate it. Then when playing totk i was totally blown away! The gameplay is more streamlined than botw(imo) and i find the depths absolutely captivating. I think they overhyped the sky, people were expecting some Skyward Sword shit and i didnt play that one bc i hate the art style, so i wasnt let down by the sky. They didnt even tell us there was a whole new map to explore beneath the surface and i think it is amazing, beautiful, and fascinating. Im nowhere near completing my map of the depths, maybe a bit less than half, and im 330 hours into the game. I havent beaten it yet, i just now got the last sage(the secret one) and im about to try to find Ganondorf finally. So i havent watched any of the critique videos because i want to experience the whole game organically.
The Master Sword pull in totk was the most amazing experience in Zelda to date. When i found it i hadnt collected all of the tears yet, so i didnt even know what was happening. I was completely mesmerized. It was incredible. I even reloaded and put on a different outfit because it was so cinematic i wanted to see it in cooler gear. I wish id had the Fierce Diety set at the time lol that would have been cool af. Also. When i stumbled upon the Fierce Diety mask i nearly had a heart attack. I didnt have the quest for it yet so i was totally surprised. I love totk so much! I dont understand why anyone has a problem with it /: such a great experience. Ive loved every minute.
Also, you mentioned voice acting. I HATE voice acting in games, it always feels super unnatural and ruins my immersion. Like i can hear the human person talking in the recording studio and i dont feel like im listening to the characters. I despise the voice acting in botw/totk. Zelda in particular sounds horrible, i hate her forced british accent and how deep her voice is. Ganondorfs VA is the only one that didnt make me cringe. I have the same problem with anime, dialogue that was written in japanese sounds wrong and unnatural in English unless the translation is super seamless and the VAs are super talented. And even if they are, there's always going to be one or two who totally phone it in, or try way too hard and put on a voice no living person speaks with. Like with every single female character lol. At least Zeldas VA didn't put on an artificial kawaii-desu bullshit voice, but the fake accent is just as bad for me. Needless to say i switched the voice language to japanese as soon as the first cutscene was over. Much much better. I felt like i was playing an anime during a few of the scenes, especially the flashback Ganondorf battles.
I unironically didnt know about the spacebar text thing, thanks i guess xD
My goal is to become successful enough to sit down and marathon every zelda game in in-universe-chronological order.
Give us the Tears of the Kingdom tea! I am getting that tea kettle ready NOW
