    My theory is that Age 5 and Age 12 might be switched internally somehow, they must have started development with modeling Deku Link and realized he couldn't be the first Link actor in the lineup, so they swapped them. Link is 12 and Deku Butler's son is 5.

    • @sheridanrathbun
      @sheridanrathbun 2 года назад +115

      They weren't switched. Ocarina of Time has the same debug menu and young link's age is listed as 5 there as well. Either they simply hadn't decided how young he should actually be at the time they chose that number, or it was decided by someone but not fully communicated through the team, so a programmer chose a placeholder value (it's not like the player ever sees it anyway). In Ocarina of Time it is long confirmed in other ways that adult link is 17, and that he is 7 years older than young link. Therefore young link is 10 years old in Ocarina of Time.
      It is not clear how much time passes between the end of Ocarina of Time and the beginning of Majora's Mask, so he might still be 10 years old in that game, or he could be slightly older (11 or 12). He looks pretty small to be any older than that ;)
      In Zelda age is literally just a number :)

      @bluegum6438 2 года назад +43

      IIRC Link's age is referenced internally in code as 5 and 17 for child and adult respectively in OoT (found with the decompilation project). Which doesn't really make any sense, he's just not 5 years old. It also represents a 12 year gap instead of a 7 year gap, so who knows what the deal with that is.

    The Zora longevity was actually tacitly confirmed previously in Oracle of Ages- the past and present eras in Labrynna are centuries apart, and when we first enter Zora's Domain, the king is long dead from illness. After saving him in the past, he's there (albeit in a slightly differently colored outfit) in the present to let you enter Jabu Jabu's Belly.

    I don’t remember if you’ve covered these in past videos or not but… plus they’re glitches more than secrets but still…
    You can enter sakon’s hideout early by rolling into the gap between the rock and the wall, which will have you jump and either fall into the void or land in the loading zone. Strangely, kafei won’t spawn unless you’ve properly progressed his quest, locking you in the first room as the button only starts the conveyer belt section but you won’t switch to kafei, the most I’ve accomplished is squashing myself with the door kafei would normally go in.
    Speaking of the hideout it can also be used to wear fierce deity mask (almost) anywhere. You just wear a non-transformation mask as link and while in control of kafei, pause and put the FD mask on the same button as the mask link was wearing, making you transform as soon as you switch back and stay transformed after the hideout, you can technically do it with the giant’s mask too, but it crashes (or softlocks, can’t remember) instantly. That being said FD is easy to soft lock, for starters you HAVE to leave the canyon via the river or you’ll be stuck where you can’t exit, additionally several NPCs will softlock if you talk to them since they don’t have valid programmed dialog with FD.

    • @elli_senfsaat
      @elli_senfsaat 2 года назад

      In the 3D remake, it's easy as pie to use the FD mask anywhere. I enjoy it running around, checking how NPCs react to him. Most act as if he's Deku, ironically.
      With the same glitch, you can use just any "restricted" item with the transformations, though only a few show effects. Giant mask makes the game crash bc it's unable to load the corresponding map when not in Twinmolds battle area.

    In Ocarina of Time after pulling out the Master Sword, Na’vi mentions they travelled “7 years” in the future. Link being 10 years old would make more sense, at least 8 but 10 feels more valid imo.
    Majora’s Mask only took place several months so Link never did aged, but did grew taller in the original. He looked the same in 3D remake, in fact he look like from Majora’s Mask in Ocarina of Time so theres no actual physical development for Link comparing to the originals.
    It should be worth noted also Darmani died from a “blizzard” when it was a Big Goron that likely blew Darmani away, was horribly influenced by the temple that corrupted him and blow anyone coming in. Darmani was the victim and fell to his death.
    Mikau died from being brutally beaten by Gerudos, and then get thrown in the sea after he got caught trying to recover the eggs.
    Meanwhile, Fierce Deity Link, the only one NOT a victim, was actually created from all the people of Termina’s suffering, through all the masks you’ve given. This creates Fierce Deity, who turns all those suffering, into power.
    His fight against Majora’s Mask is the result of that power he gained from many.

      Yeah, I thought for sure it was something that Oracle of Ages made up (Labrynna's King Zora ((who might or might not be the same one as seen in the Ocarina of Time, as "XVI" is the only number ever given by any source)) being well over 400 years old). I'm still skeptical because of the Link part, but if we assume that Zoras age 3x the speed of other humanoids (because humans reach puberty around 10, and Zoras reach it around 30, with early or late bloomers... it's a whole thing... Imma go with 3) the Mikau is basically 26. Now, like Cats & Dogs, I assume they age quickly at first and then it slows down, and you need some sort of aging chart (which we'd need much more info to fill) because 400 years would be over 130, and that's just not going to work. Now, does this make all of Link's Zora friends from 100 years ago 33⅓? No... they are whatever age they were then _plus 33⅓_ don't let's be silly.

    Doubt they were going by the same rules with the Zora’s lifespan back then. Ruto is described as a child when Link’s a child and they both grow up in parallel pretty much after 7 years. The Zora child in BotW mention how slowly they grow, being eager to grow as fast as Hylians.

    In all honesty I feel like the ages make way more sense if Link and Deku are switched, as well as Darmani and Mikau. Link obviously isn't 5 years old, but that age makes a lot of sense considering the treatment Deku gets. Correspondingly, Darmani seems fairly old to me. He's a known veteran, and was in line to be the next patriarch of his tribe, a rank usually reserved for wise and elden Gorons. It's true that Zoras have a long lifespan, but to me it makes way more sense to read Mikau as 30 and Darmani as 78. Fierce Deity's age is spot on, though.

    Getting that Gian Poe from the graveyard feels like more of a hassle that just doing the well. Although I suppose that on future runs I could just take advantage of doing that quest before getting the mirror shield since I usually do 100% runs.

    The thumbnail had Hylian Link at 5. I believe he is 10 in Ocarina of Time though.
    Since Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time use the same game engine the model of Link is pretty much the same (if not exactly the same).
    This should mean that Link is 10 in Majora's Mask, too.
    Also, doesn't Majora's Mask take place right after Ocarina of Time? In any case, it's very hard to believe that Link would be 5 in Majora's Mask.

    Since Sidon was a very young child, before the events of the calamity, and appears to be in his early to mid 20's, 100 years later. I think its safe to assume a Zora ages 20 years, every 100 years.
    If this is even roughly accurate, Mikau, died probably around the Zora age of 17/18.
    Which is pretty damn young...

    2. You can dodge a Garo’s charge attack with a well-timed back flip
    3. Some enemies will drop items depending on a arrow type they’ve been killed by:
    Fire arrow = More arrows
    Ice arrow = A whole heart (a rupee if full)

    If they were, then the age of 12 for Young Link would place Majora's Mask canonically two years after Ocarina of Time.

There is no other indication in the N64 games that N64 Zoras live this long, Link sure isn't 5, the little Deku could have been though and both Darmani and Mikau look more fitting as 78 and 30 respectively, at least from a human perspective. If the devs had meant for N64 Zoras to live that much longer than humans they would have let it be known somewhere, like in BotW where it's a plot point and remarked multiple times. Also consider that around 30 is a normal age for men to start having children, and Mikau died a dad.

    Link can't be 7 years in Majora's Mask because he's absolutely 9/10 this has been confirmed, but inconsistently over the years. We know he HAD to be sealed away for 7 years to wield the Master Sword which means he was 16/17 when he came out, also confirmed. Even sent back in time back Zelda, she only sent him back to regain his 'lost' time, which is every moment he lost AFTER meeting Zelda for the first time. Therefore she brought him back as a 9/10 year old, which is where MM begins. He could be older by the time of MM, but no way is he 7 years old.
