This game is such a masterpiece! It’s so magical to discover this game for the first time. Your reactions remind me of Pesky Play’s first time playing oot. Very heartwarming!
Especially with what we know about Carl's sense of direction. Its a wonder someone hasn't made some kind of "troll maze" level to take advantage of this yet.
So here's a small fun fact about OoT people might not know about that much: In Spain, for whatever deadline and/or technical reason they could not finish implementing the Spanish translation into the actual game before its release. What they decided to do instead was make a whole book that was essentially an English-Spanish dictionary of *all* the in-game text (item names, options, GUI elements etc. as well as dialogue of course) and include the printed book with the game (which by itself was left entirely in English). I worked with game translation for a while and this oddity made OoT a bit of a legend in and of itself in game localization folklore!
IIRC Spanish is also the language with the most speakers in the world, so it's odd they couldn't manage to do a proper localization. Props to them for making the effort to do what they could about it instead of just releasing a half-translated product. I'll bet this even turned out to be a neat tool for introducing Spanish speaking kids to English.
oh ma gawd...oot first playthroughs are not that common. but now we're getting one from a jank afficionado and overall nice guy. what a treat. thx carl
Appreciate the turnaround of putting these vods, and even trimmed down a little, on TH-cam so quickly after streaming. Much prefer to watch TH-cam video than vod :)
5:00 The textures are 1) made for much lower resolution, and 2) made for CRT, where pixels tend to bleed into one another. All in all, that means textures have _very_ different requirements than they do in a modern game. I didn't actually _look_ at them that closely back when I did play this on a CRT (because I was 8), but I'm sure they look much better one one of those than they do on a razor crisp 4k LED display.
At the same time, I recall the fixed camera rooms with one giant Resident Evil-style texture (where Carl pointed the pixels out) always kinda looking like shit - it was harder to make out what stuff was supposed to be in comparison to the rest of the house interiors.
this actually made me cry from nostalgia, carl. my grandmothers favorite game when she was alive and seeing someone experience it for the first time is so magical. please keep uploading
21:31 Larl: “Was the shield in here?” Link, my dude: Stares DIRECTLY at shield very nearly centered on screen. Larl: Looks around a bit. “Oh, there it is.”
You'd be surprised how not obvious anything looks in this game when your brain isn't used to seeing N64 graphics. It pops out to you I'm sure, but that's because you're used to seeing it.
@@BenTobitt Maybe hold off on being judgmental, and then I’ll hold off on being hypocritical. Carl is a gaming legend who proves his acumen time and again, and that joke was from a place of love and respect. His mastery of combat in this game on a first playthrough is quite impressive, as is his ability to find new ways to oob that I never knew about or considered as possibilities. Everyone brain farts, and ADDing to the chat adds to that probability of occurrence. It’s ok, Carl, we laugh because you’re cool like that, and can even poke fun at yourself for not checking the action icon at the tomb’s poem.
43:03 15 mins took me years to figure it out, but largely because I first tried on a friends copy and didn’t get my own copy until the wind waker pre sale bonus GameCube port of oot
I completely forgot since it’s been about a decade since I last played, but as soon as that sign was destroyed I remember slaughtering hundreds of signs for fun! I should play this game again, and maybe this time I won’t need my grandpa to fight the battles that scare me! 😂
Carl I'm sorry.... But it's to late. You will never understand the nostalgic love that people that played this when they were a child have. It's still amazing but will never be the same.
I remember playing FF7 for the first time (or Pokémon Red or Link's Awakening). I think the feelings are similar and I understand quite well which parts of OoT would feel similar as a kid experiencing them for the very first time.
I first experienced this game through Internet fansites, fanfic, and strategy guides long before I got to play it myself. The GameCube port, mind you; I loved the N64 as a kid, but I’ve never owned one. I’d completely forgotten “twenty-three is number one”. Dang, there’s a blast from the past.
Lol, everyone saying he cheesed that heart piece or asking if it's possible on N64. That's literally the intended way. Everything about that house in construction is made with that purpose, the thing in the middle has the exact dimensions so you can throw the cuckoo and not lose it, the only reason there's a guy running around up there is so there is a challenge and he even talks about the cuckoos, the jump with the cuckoo from the beam is almost the exact distance to be a very easy jump that looks like it might miss etc.
When I'd originally heard that he'd only gotten as far as the Deku tree, my first thought was "Oh, sounds like he only played the game in Walmart." Those game try-outs were amazing though.
I've played multiple times and 1. I did not know you could shoot gohma down before she dropped the eggs and 2. I didn't know the scrub in the lost woods gave you the ability to hold more sticks, I just thought you were buying more
add me to the "got past the deku tree then quit" club, probably common among people who couldn't afford a N64 at home but got one as adults when we didn't have time and the graphics didn't look good anymore.
I have a vivid memory of being a child and trying to figure out how many pieces you can cut a sign up into. I think the answer is 4 pieces plus the post.
I was never able to do the Super Cuccoos without the cheese strat. The Cheese Strat is that before talking to Talon you pick up all the cuccoos and throw them between the desk and the stairs. They won't leave so when Talon releases the Super Cuccoos they are alone.
I have played this game many times over the years and never once noticed the light in the lost woods 🤣 I know the route without it and that's probably why but I remember using the music as the guide when I was young
I only played this game for the first time myself last year, and I don't think it's as perfect as people say, but that doesn't mean I love it any less. Despite its flaws it's still a wonderful & beautiful experience, and it's an experience that means so much to me. I'm super excited to watch you play it!
A lot of people say it's perfect because it kind of was for its time. You have to put those opinions in the context of when the game was made. 3D games were in there infancy. No one knew how to make 3D game properly until PlayStation introduced the dualshock controller. Everything else can be chocked up to game design standards of the time. It was mind blowing at the time.
@@GeneralNickles Yeah definitely, sometimes I forget how far gaming has come but if I try to imagine what it was like back then I can definitely see how mind-blowing OoT must have been. Even now, over 25 years later, it may not be as mind-blowing but I would still consider it a masterpiece despite how flawed it can get with today's standards.
Finally getting around to watching this and he says he enjoys water levels going up and down puzzles. So can’t wait to see if he changes his mind in the water temple!
Obviously I'm not caught up at all, so this has probably been addressed already, but the whole "press z to switch targets and back to un-target" is because for some reason you have the z-targeting set to toggle instead of hold. For most people, hold is MUCH more natural. You simply hold z to target, and let go of z to un-target. I've seen someone go through almost the entirety of Twilight Princess (literally the boss of the second to last dungeon) complaining about the targeting system, and then remembered he had switched it to toggle before recording the first episode. After he switched it back to hold during the boss fight of that dungeon, he said it was SO much better and wished he had never switched it toggle. Lol
Dont know if this was mentioned in the comments already, but in the file select screen, when you select your file, there is a 3 digit number that tracks your deaths for you.
Watching Carl depth-first-search the F out of Kokiri Forest, including early Sacred Forest Meadow before finding the FRONT DOOR is extremely aggravating TBH
But if you don't know where to go it isn't obvious the place to go isn't in kokiri forest. You know. I don't. Plus I kept making progress and finding lots of things, I enjoyed it. "Early" means nothing when I don't know the game yet. Hopefully this makes sense.
@@CarlPlayin42 It's cool. I'm just giving you a hard time... with maybe the tiniest suggestion that "I think I'll explore this later" is sometimes worth considering. Such as Lon Lon Ranch in this video! Thanks for uploading these blind playthroughs, we love you Carl!
I can't wait to watch more of this! I've played the game so many times that I've forgotten how you're supposed to learn how to do certain parts of the game, so it will be that much more interesting to watch!
Carl just going back through the same entrance he came in the lost woods (multiple times) 🤦😅 The 30 30 30 and struggling to get out of Kokori Forest..this is gonna be a fun one
Kinda wish I had been a stream watcher, would have been delicious to post "He doesn't know about the three shells?" when he was looking at the soft soil patches.
Fun facts: This game is built on top of the Super Mario 64 game engine. Carl is playing the PC port called Ship of Harkinian. It is easily one of the best, most fully featured community-made PC ports of a console game. It includes a built-in randomizer, which is lots of fun and I think any OoT fan should try at least once. There are glitches in this game which can allow for arbitrary code execution through precise corruptions of memory which are real-time viable. As a result the world record for any% is as of this comment 3 minutes 50 seconds. Without glitches the record is 2 hours 9 minutes. For comparison, Carl took 1 hour to enter and complete the first dungeon, and an additional 30 minutes to learn that you progress by walking in a straight line from the Deku Tree to leave the forest. Carl says any % used to do Deku Tree and Ganon. The newest glitched ones cut both of these out. There is a hidden enemy of a Starfox Arwing in the game code which was likely used for testing. It can fly around and shoot at you, and can be blown up. It's theorized one of the bosses shares code with it for its flight, hence why it is in the game at all. There is a Game Genie code floating out there to force it to spawn. I think Ship of Harkinian might have some control to get access to it as well. The original game rran at 20 fps. The 3DS port ran at 30 fps. Ship of Harinian can run at 60 fps. The 3DS port has a bug where dropped items despawn faster due to an oversight... they count frames, not seconds, until they despawn.
Once he is done, we need to get him to try a randomizer for either Ocarina of Time or Link to the Past (though if he hasn't played LttP he needs to play that normally first). Randomizers have just that level of trollishness and puzzle that Carl seems to like.
Best way I've found is to map these controls are to have your A and B buttons be like Square and X, then have C-Left be Triangle and C-Down be Circle, map C-Right and C-up to your Right stick. So you basically have a partial N64 controller there, and get the accessibility of two of the C-buttons and one you use less often, and C-Up isn't needed all that often so it's fine being on the stick. To help visualize it: (/\) O (>) (
I think you should download and install a copy of the instruction manual for this game. There was a lot of tutorialising, but I still think the instruction manual is a required read in this era of gaming.
I'm excited for this playthrough! In all your time at GDQ, did you ever watch a speedrun of this? If not can you watch it on stream? Without giving away anything it's a stream friendly speedrun full of jank! Edit: nevermind, got to where Carl said he's already seen speed runs 2:28:11 😅 should have waited to comment.
@@Fox22791 I wouldn't have that music any other way tbh. What I'm trying to say is I've never heard a better song for the OOT Fire Temple. I don't like the changes they made to it at all.
@Lonewolf3515 i thought it was a perfect touch. I had a 1.0 copy as a child in like early 1999, i thought it to be Volvagia making noises in the background, despite his different roars when actually fighting him.
Growing up in Chicagoland in the ‘90s, I always thought of it as a reference to Michael Jordan being the best basketball player. I’m glad that there’s an actual Japanese pun behind it.
being carl must be great, no short term memory so you're amazed by everything for the first time, even after the 12th time seeing it (no hate my dude this is only a joke)
Great to see you playing the N64 Version. Other then the graphics and some QoL changes there aren't many differences to the 3DS Version. With Majoras Mask, sadly the 3ds version is much worse then the original n64 version. So I'd reccoment playing the N64 version as well. I'd recommend a QoL mod tho, so you don't have to open the inventory every few seconds to switch to important items.
Ocarina of Time 3D on the 3DS XL is the BiS version to play this game on. Though streaming it would probably be awful. Can’t wait to watch this whole playthrough and scream at all the secrets you miss. 😂
I was kind of hoping it would be uncut but then again considering how straightforward this game is it's probably not a big deal as it was for tunic or the other blind plays
How can someone so good with Kaizo Mario not have the skills to learn a few buttons? More than an hour in and he still doesn't remember the sword button and the action button (for the jump sword slash). Were we all like that when playing this for the first time?
My dude, @@CarlPlayin42, I don't think so, but I did play this on the N64 originally. I guess you were struggling with the DualShock mapping too. Love your content, by the way, don't let the troll in me bother you. ❤

I like how, without fail, Carl cracks up at "my dude" every single time.
I like how you are playing exactly how a new player should. Taking your time. Exploring. Solving puzzles. I hope this will be a complete playthrough!
POV: Watching the video in 480p for that historically authentic low-res experience 😁
There’s no way! You’ve not played Ocarina of Time? Well, it’s never too late! Love when people go back and check out old stuff :)
Arguably one of the best games of all time.

@@Fox22791 I wouldn't have that music any other way tbh. What I'm trying to say is I've never heard a better song for the OOT Fire Temple. I don't like the changes they made to it at all.
@Lonewolf3515 i thought it was a perfect touch. I had a 1.0 copy as a child in like early 1999, i thought it to be Volvagia making noises in the background, despite his different roars when actually fighting him.
Hell yeah! I'm really excited for this playthrough! I binged through the whole Dark Souls 1 videos too :D
Fun fact, the "23 is number 1" is a pun.
In Japanese 2 is ni, 3 is san. So the bush us saying niisan (big brother) is number one.
Growing up in Chicagoland in the ‘90s, I always thought of it as a reference to Michael Jordan being the best basketball player. I’m glad that there’s an actual Japanese pun behind it.
I'm gonna say it, the sages should've just touched the triforce and lead hyrule into a golden age without stupid sand people
OH MY GOODNESS WHY DID TH-cam NOT RECOMMEND THIS IMMEDIATLY THIS IS AMAZING I AM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS WAHOO
I’m….shocked at how little I actually remember reading ANY of the dialogue of this game 😂😂
I'm surprised how GOOD the beginning tutorials are! They tell you a LOT
being carl must be great, no short term memory so you're amazed by everything for the first time, even after the 12th time seeing it
(no hate my dude this is only a joke)
Great to see you playing the N64 Version. Other then the graphics and some QoL changes there aren't many differences to the 3DS Version.
With Majoras Mask, sadly the 3ds version is much worse then the original n64 version.
So I'd reccoment playing the N64 version as well.
I'd recommend a QoL mod tho, so you don't have to open the inventory every few seconds to switch to important items.
Oh OoT is really great, unfortunately i can't replay it fresh because i've seen to much speedruns and randomizers
Ocarina of Time 3D on the 3DS XL is the BiS version to play this game on. Though streaming it would probably be awful. Can’t wait to watch this whole playthrough and scream at all the secrets you miss. 😂
Love your content I have a 3 year old named link!! Keep up good videos
I think at one point Barb said this is the best game ever made. Full stop.
YOOOO!
I was hoping you'd play this sometime. OoT is great. It has an item randomizer that's a lot of fun too. You should try that sometime.
Carl woke up 1 day and said. “Hey guys. I’m going to play all of the greatest games known yo man.”
Side hops are really fast, and I'm surprised they let us have such a good dodge.
Did we miss things when the video just skipped 3 minutes, those numerous times while he was in Kakariko, particularly chasing the chickens?
You missed me unable to find chickens
@@CarlPlayin42 thanks for replying! I thought there was some Deeper Meaning, haha!
I think I'll watch this at 240p to feel more authentic... and also to not see chat
I was kind of hoping it would be uncut but then again considering how straightforward this game is it's probably not a big deal as it was for tunic or the other blind plays
It's not cut except for the intro.
I love how "spaghetti'd" is still a thing that streamers, well, at least Carl uses. It's simply the best.
Water temple no spoilers? This should be fun
How can someone so good with Kaizo Mario not have the skills to learn a few buttons? More than an hour in and he still doesn't remember the sword button and the action button (for the jump sword slash). Were we all like that when playing this for the first time?
An hour in? You probably were like that until a week in.
My dude, @@CarlPlayin42, I don't think so, but I did play this on the N64 originally. I guess you were struggling with the DualShock mapping too. Love your content, by the way, don't let the troll in me bother you. ❤
Anyone else think they can 100% this game from memory?
I would pay actual money for Carl to watch one of ZFG's 100% speedruns after this series is complete.
