The Mystery of the Giant Enemies in Ocarina of Time (Zelda)

- In the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, we spent lots of time battling the various foes and bosses the game had to offer as Link. But there was one strange occurrence that threw a lot of us for a loop as a kid. These were the giant enemies that roamed the land of Hyrule. The mystery behind these enemies always perplexed me as a child, but this bizarre event set off a chain of events that lead on one of the greatest hunts that took place in the game. Did hidden giant creatures exist besides giant Stalchilds and the other common ones? Let's turn back the clock and talk about the strange circumstances around these bizarre enemy spawns!

A giant Dead Hand would be nightmare fuel.
First reply carry on
Giant Dead Hand...!?!?!? Please no.
Yoshikage Kira would argue against that *heavily.*
Lol that's some funny stuff , I bet your shocked fosho
U made me think that u were selling a netendio switch I spelled something wrong
I remember hearing a rumor when I was a child that giant stalchildren could throw rocks and trees. I would try for hours to get them to do it...
Oh, that would be tight.
Aura Fox
That reminds me of when me and my brother fell for the old pokemon rumour that said using splash repeatedly would eventually cause a really powerful attack.
ShadowDragonGamer 476 Or that if Goldeen fell in the lava on Brinstar in SSB it would evolve into Seaking and kill everyone except whoever summoned it with a Horn Drill.
RondoOfBloodX
I haven’t heard that one before
ShadowDragonGamer 476 It was a rumor started by a kid at our school who claimed he had seen it happen.
I used to hide under my shield at night when I played and wait for the sun to come back up. Those skeleton shits were too scary.
mmik
I always rolled constantly to castle town before night fell and timed the day passing in other areas so I would have to face them.
mmik
I was still quite a wimp when I got Ocarina of Time 3D, so at first the Stalchildren scared me. Eventually I found out how weak they were and ended up spending my nights in Hyrule Field slaughtering them out of boredom.
Then I saw the ReDeads and Dead Hand and realised how stupid I was for being scared of the Stalchildren
The first time I played Ocarina as a kid, I rented it from the store - the save file on the cartridge I loaded up was in kokiri forest at night; first thing I did was ran outside, saw these horrifying skeletons with glowing eyes burst out of the ground, and shut the game off. one of my favorite gaming memories though
Bruh i always atacc them
I get the feeling you weren't ready for dead hand
They drank their milk. Case closed
Wut
they also do yoga every morning, eat vitamins with each meal, and get 9 hours of sleep at nighttime
@@Lazuli04 CASE. CLOSED.
Stalchild's are skeletons so they can't produce milk. To grow big they drink cows milk that mix with blue potion
They drank too much Lon Lon Milk.
Now we know how that stalchild got so big in Majora's mask
that doesn't make sense though because I'm prety sure that affect doesn't work in majora and he was a human once so maby being brought back to life and skull kid sending negative vibes might have corrupted him.
@@sbellcaster No, he died years after Majora's Mask. He travels to Termina in search of his lost friend, Navi. He found and saved Termina but didn't find her, and went back to Hyrule. Termina disappeared from existence. Link became a knight, and served Hyrule Kingdom 'til his death. This is canon. Link might've married Malon and settled down in Lon Lon Ranch before his death as well, based on where his descendant would be raised in the Era of Twilight.
@@BenteinBjerke can you imagine if at the end of majoras mash link looked at the fierce dietys mask and was like "I'm keeping this thing!" that would maker the rest of the timeline a breeze!
@@BenteinBjerke Is it really Navi tho? There was a running theme in OoT that Link's "friend" was always Saria. Him going into the lost woods to find her makes more sense imo.
This is how Captain Skullkeeta came to exist
We found captain Skull Keeta.
Da Skull EETAAH!
OK that was bad.
That was the first thing i thought of
Yeah me too he's in MM
Damn, I guess Link was just the small kid in every class
You are gonna be the new Justin y

Screw that!

thing is, those respawn, don't they? it should be possible..
😭😨
No. Never. Eff That
Says a lot about a game when you're still talking about it 20 years later
Just like stryder7x and videos about paper mario
Well...
There was the 3d version so I can't say it is really 20 years
Remi Lalaque yes, but the original was.
@@bakaron7842 yes, it is the game who aged the best but you may speak of a game because there is a recent remake.
@@omniscientomnipresent5500 this makes no sence.
Huh.. I knew about the giant enemies, but had no idea they can keep getting bigger and bigger. Thanks for the new info about my favorite game.
I just knew about the stalchild, didn't know about the other ones because I never felt like killing a lot of them
only the stalchildren keep getting bigger, the other 2 only come in 2 sizes
Yeah, I only ever got one to be bigger by a lil bit.
I knew about the Stalchild because, well, very easy to get, and I knew about the leevers, but the birds?!
Whoa! You have no idea how much you blew my mind! I remember as a child, one of my friends told me about a giant stalchild he had found in OOT he assumed was some kind of rare, secret boss. The mystery perplexed me to no end and I spent who knows how long looking for it, to no avail. This was before Majora's Mask, mind you.
But when Majora's Mask had come out featuring a giant stalchild, I started to doubt if I was remembering it correctly. And although some part of me still remembered that it seemed like I had heard the rumor BEFORE MM was released, over the years I just kind of assumed I had mixed up the details and he was telling me about the Majora's Mask sequence. But now I realize IT WAS TRUE! He must have found this exploit somehow aaaall the way back in the late 90's, and I never should have doubted him in the first place! My God, you have no idea what closure this brings me! The mystery of the giant stalchild is true!
HEHE NO RY VGcZFD G
Not an exploit, pretty well known feature even back then
Allon who cares he can now make amends with his friend and go on to live a happy and healthy life. 🤣💕
Only enemies that constantly respawn did this, the crows at lon lon ranch also get bigger. And the small green exploding dodongos you encounter as child link also do this.
Really I didn't know that
Now we gotta find the fifth
@@antenna_prolly yep
He talk the crows in the viedo
@@bewearstar9462 Yes, but he only mentions them appearing in the dessert along with the Leevers. He doesn't say anything about them appearing in Lon Lon Ranch.
Man seeing link fight the large Stalechild reminds me of Shadow Of the Colussus.
If I ever get better at drawing, I'm going to make an epic scene like that
@@theHatted that be sick, I would love to see that.
Okay, just wait a few years and it'll be ready.
Yeah, I'm not too good at drawing, but it is coming!
I was thinking opposite when I saw Shadow of the colossus for the first time
stale....child?
as opposed to freshchild.
When I was kid, the skullchild popped up and I screamed in fear really loudly. Safe to say I ventured hyrule in the day and kept on the path lol
I've played through Ocarina of Time at least 5 times and I've never known about these giant enemies
You just had to put my childhood nightmare in the intro...
Jess Thompson the other stuff was still scary to me, but I was also terrified of that section too. Even when the HD version came out I still had some of that lingering fear.
@Jess Thompson I'm the same. I have later figured out that it is because the Forsaken Fortress part is a genuine fear of mine for a real life scenario.
damn.. so could you make a 50ft large bird!?
Oh my God and I can't believe he didn't freeze the night cycle to try it on the birds.
Nope the giant guay doesnt grow in size
@@SeanLaMontagne He wouldn't have to. In certain areas time doesn't pass and Guay can be found in Lon Lon ranch at night. I remember because I tried getting a massive Guay to spawn, but they didn't get any bigger.
@@captainbanjaxavalanche4313
Sad day
You haven't played ocarina of time enough
Holy shit I seriously thought this was a Mandela Effect thing going on in my head for years. I never found the answer. This is why I love these channels.
Can't you just look into the game's coding to see which enemies have this growth cycle rather than manually testing every enemy?
You can, but as the video maker notes at 2:26 this initially happened at an age where he and his friends weren't familiar with cryptozoology meaning that they were likely too young to be aware that looking directly at a game's code was a thing you could do.
well where is the fun in that
two types of people in these replies here
As someone who focused entirely on just beating the game, I usually ignored enemies in the overworld. It's pretty cool to learn new things about old games.
When I was playing Sonic and the Secret Rings as a kid, I discovered a glitch that allows you to walk through the spikes. And I got super excited
Dude, I wrote about this in the Zelda wiki when I was in Highschool.
Cool kid ;D

"Is there a chance a giant redead could spawn? "
Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope. F that. I'd be out if it happened
Man, you remember the first time you encounter in castle town? That really got to me.
@@leozar69 unless you were to go to the royal family tomb and getting the sun song but redeads being everywhere Down there
@@prestongarvey9366 Castle Town was the first time i saw the redeads back when i first played Oot.
YOOOO MY FRIEND IN 5th grade tried to convince me of that and I never believed him man. Holy shit that’s insane how I’m just now realizing he might have been telling the truth
Hell no
I thought something was up when I first encountered a giant Guay in Lon Lon Ranch. Never knew they could also become big ones as well. On a side note, these big enemies remind me of Badass variants of enemies found in the Borderlands franchise: bigger foes, better loot.
The first sponsorship that I've actually considered purchasing. The cases look really high quality.
I really enjoy seeing the panned shots with the custom camera, they really help show off the scale of the games.
Kaisogen . You mean the first time you have been almost conned into a total crock of shit lol!! Seriously though if you could not here the fakeness in his voice as he was explaining the pros of the case then just damn!! Its like oh yea it totally sounds like you like your sincere when talking about this shit case that you HAVE to talk about being there sponsoring you lol! Yep your not going to take a fat piss inside that case after the vid not at all!!
John Hosp wtf is wrong with you.
@@jhosp89 okay... I'm just saying that I thought the sponsorship was neat. A lot of the time it's some random mobile game that doesn't fit the audience.
@@jhosp89 Stop. Get some help.
Wtf mate🙄
Captain Keeta was the result of too many Stalchilds being killed in OOT.
Lydia Similar to Naraku?

"What did you discover in your childhood"
If we count things like this that can be explained with a bit of logic and the knowledge we can access today? As a kid I discovered being able to clip through the walls/floor in Super Mario Sunshine and how standing in the blue void kills you. Let me tell you, that freaked the hell out of me. As a 2000's kid who loved discovering things about video games I knew a little bit about out of bounds areas, but not enough to make a clear connection between this blue void and being OOB. IIRC I thought it was some kind of hidden area, but not one we're meant to find or explore.
That giant bird is the first enemy ever to strike real life fear in me, when I am not playing the game myself...
Well done
Stalchild just drank more milk when he was alive
7:48 Wow
I always encountered a big Stalchild during my playthroughs, and knew it was a number occurrence. But I never thought to continue past the first phase, because I just thought it would be the same size for a minor enemy.
Boy, I am wrong and that is terrifying!
Never knew about the Leevers and Guays, though.
I always knew about the Stalchilds and Leevers but didn’t know about the Guey’s.
The giant enemy trick looked like some Keter SCP type stuff. It could out grow the map.
neat video, I just wish you'd read your script in a way that flowed a little better instead of making everything sound like a question in a sentence that isn't quite done yet.
You're exactly right, I rewound and listened and heard exactly what you meant. Now it's extremely annoying.
i actually came to comment something similar to this! the video was great, but as a word of constructive criticism to the uploader, i mostly had a hard time understanding what he was saying. i think the uploader should try to slow down and enunciate more, because most of the video was overexcited slurring.
Yes that and the half related long tangents made a 2 minute video into 8 minutes of weird sounding audio. Thanks for pointing this out.
Im loving this lil hate pocket on this video. Yall are right and im glad i could find support on this. I literally hate this way that some people enunciate when reading a script
Just tried this in the 3DS version and it does work. However, I can only get one enemy to spawn at night. It lasts too little!
It looks like the scale factor applies to continually spawning enemies, this could be why Redeads don't do it, as they're room-based enemies. It's been a long time since I've played Ocarina, but I would think there would be other continually spawning enemies in the game, like Wolfos?
I can explain these. Every 50 enemies that spawn naturally will be bigger. No redeads or like ikes spawn those. I found one as a child and asked around if anyone knew about it. It was one of those things that spawn in the desert. 3 years later I found a second one and started reasearching them. I realized that every 50 or so is bigger than normal:edit thank you for the likes yhe most ive ever gotten was 3
Aeden M my thoughts exactly. This looks like it works on any enemies which replenish themselves. I can’t think of any others apart from the wall master incidentally. I wonder what happens if you keep leaving one alive and letting it regrow?
Ive always hated the wall master. Scarier than the dead hand. I had a nightmare about it once...😱
The plural of "stalchild" is "stalchildren"...
No shit
I’ve got something I’d like to share. This is probably my own “Mandela effect” because nobody else has ever heard of it. When Ocarina of time first released, a rumor went around school that you could get to a Triforce temple in the desert by finding a ridge where two quicksands diverge and standing on it. You play the song of storms and move only when there is lightning sounds.
Strange thing is that it actually worked. I spent hours trying it but managed to get only 20-25 feet in. No temple though. If anyone has an original copy and could try it out, it would be awesome to learn what’s up with that sand ledge. I distinctly remember falling off immediately when no thunder was playing. But I could walk when there was.
Future video on Dead Hand?
Specifically "What the hell is it?" and "What significance does it have to the story/lore?"
KainaX122 deadhand is an amalgamation of tormented spirits which forms in a location where great suffering was experienced by many people at their time of death. the 2 places we find this type of spirit are inside of a mausoleum respectively and at the bottom of a well which once belonged to a powerful shiekah turned necromancer. bongo bongo is a lich, in legends surrounding liches, they gain their ascendancy after a grueling ritual in which they rip souls from many bodies in a most excruciating manner. in the case within bottom of the well, our favorite headless drummer would tortured hundreds to gain teporary Immortality, leaving a mass grave of damned souls in his wake. these tortured souls would form a physical presence out of sheer willpower for revenge. much like the Poes found in hyrule which have wrongly died at the hands of men in war, the deadhand hungers for revenge
How many rupees did that 20 foot tall stalchild give upon defeat?
I don’t think the amount of rupees goes last 3 reds. All big ones drop that much, no matter how big. Could be wrong though.
@@wallywutsizface6346 have you tried the glitch out for yourself and noticed that trend?
I’m guessing that they’ll be worth the same as killing the Skull Kid as a adult.
@@DarkMirria1 really??
Yes. Be adult Link and use the biggoron Sword to quickly stab him and a giant rupee is left behind.
Could you imagine if the N64 had an achievement system and we learned about this "secret" on day 1 of release from achievement completionists?
Oh how I wish Nintendo had an achievement system I would wholeheartedly become a Nintendo fan boy all over again
That seems like a double-edged sword. Pros and cons.
the Deadhand at the beginning forced me to get up and go grab a drink as an excuse to run away from the computer.
Idc how old or experienced you are, Deadhand is just so, so disturbing on so many levels.
He's a lovable character. He's like the Kool-Aid guy!
Never knew about the Giant Leevers, and definitely not the Giant Guays. Guess cause I always ran as fast away from them as I could lol
"He's just big-boned." Chris Punska 1999
When this game came out, there was barely something on the internet about it. Those were the smart days.
Me: Ah a nice calming OOT theory
Intro: *exists*
Me:AHHHHHHHHHHHH HECC HECC HECC HECC NOOO IM OUTTA HERE.
Nice music. I love botw's korok forest theme. And it fits well with the whole mystery theme, seeing that it was a hidden forest.
The music is my ringtone ;D
I’d enjoy a long video filled with The Legend of Zelda Cryptids, havent seen any vids like those yet 😁
Total nostalgia right there cause I always remembered the skeletons always being huge
Your commentary and editing skills from the custom frame representing your channel to the nostalgiac music that you use to set the mood perfectly, man just everything about your videos, even your audio and audio leveling are perfect like bro please dont stop making videos, there are people out here like me that notice and appreciate you man. Kee it up!!!💪👍👌🤟
@SwankyBox
I've never actually heard about the large enemies lol hot damn
In words of Qui-Gon Jin: "There's always a bigger fish"
I was terrified of Stalchilds as a kid. So the thought of Stalchilds so big they start clipping through the boundaries of the map make me internally scream in horror just a little bit.
this is the first time i legit didnt know something about OOT. I knew they grew but i didnt know they grew infinitely. wow.
7:25
" *the blood moon is rising...* "
"my lord. we have suspicions that gannondorf has kidnapped the prince- WHAT IN GODS NAME IS THAT???"
I had no idea about giant Guays or the fact that you could keep increasing the size of the Stalchild. Crazy
Does anyone remember, in SpongeBob SquarePants - Battle For Bikini Bottom, that one plant arm thing in the Kelp Forest that damages you, but you can never kill it? It's an invincible enemy time that appears nowhere else in the game.
I didn't know the stalchildren can get THAT big!
Play Legend of Zelda to grow big and strong, easy.
Stalchild the size of Hyrule Castle: still has only 2 HP.
I still remember 10 year old me playing Zelda for hours, even though I had nothing else to do in the game besides beat it for the 100th time, and finding stuff like the giant Lever and Stalchild and being both mesmerized and confused
Dark Cloud..... playing it now I can see more details in the world's 'lore' then I used too and I love it, love how there's more to its world than what in the story shows. ^___^
The intro gave me a painful flashback
Don't stop making these awesome videos
Love this series and the channel!
That giant Stalchild is actually made up of thuggish ruggish bones.
The evergrowing Stalchild is the only thing that can stop the penny that doubles every day.
Another amazing video! every Sunday I look forward to seeing your new content !
I love your videos man!
The weirdest thing I did in Ocarina was finishing the Fire Temple without ending the Forest temple (of course without the bow either); I was a child and I still dont know if the game was supossed to be beaten in that way...I still haven’t finished the Forest temple.
The work that you put in each video is amazing. Keep up the awesome work!!!
The mystery present in old games is something I miss the most about gaming. Nowadays if you can't figure out a dungeon or there's some mystery within a story, you just look it up and everything is answered for you within seconds.
Back then, if you couldn't figure it out...then the entire fifth grade class in your elementary school couldn't either but each of them had their own unique take on it and offered their own unique insights and rumors and red herrings. And if you solved it...wow, that was a real accomplishment! Even the easiest of mysteries or riddles became something great.
OoT was so full of mystery back then I couldn't even describe it to people who grew up in the era of easy access to the internet and official guides and reviewers who are given advanced knowledge of any real or potential mystery that will ever appear, whether on release or in ten years from now. It was almost magical. I genuinely cite gaming in the late 90's as producing some of the most cherished memories of my life.
Lol I remember the first time I realized you can get milk from a random cow in a grotto with Epona's song. I flipped my shit and screamed for my big sis to see! She was like "wtf the cow can talk?!"
That intro sound is my child hood nightmare
Mine was exiting the temple of time adult Link, and entering the town... After that, nothing fazed me. Dead Hand just felt interestingly creepy to me.
Link is just short
What's your point?
Seeking attention?
@@bowens9211 who hurt you
Intro: OOT Video, MM music xD
Very cool video 👌
As a kid I was always terrified when night came, since skeletons scared me a lot xD
Can we just talk about that intro?
No we can't
I support you a lot more since in that sponser, you were playing octopath
Upvote for best girl.
@@Atlessa Agreed. Tressa is the best girl.
I guess they are sort of like the zelda equivalent of those "shiny" pokemon that we thought were shiny but actually weren't, like the pink Butterfree or the purple Keckleon.
I always wondered why the stalchildren wouldn't spawn if you were wearing the bunny hood. I know the running man mentions rabbits being hunted into extinction, but it's never fully explained if they're connected. Also would love to some day find out what would happen if you could beat the running man's time challenge.
Hey, the bagsmart case? That's the same one TetraBitGaming sponsored... I've got one, and I would agree, it's awesome as heck :)
@VandaIeyes ...?
I JUST STARTED PLAYING 3DS REMAKE
Wow
It's a lot of fun
Third video i watched from your channel, Well done my man. Im subscribing. I love the music in the background, and you are so articulate. Makes me a little jealous XD.
I feel like I’ve been waiting for this video since I’m 6 years old.
I encountered the giant stalchild when I first play Oot. My friends and I went "Well that exists". It wasn't till later that one of us was like "Wait, what did that skeleton belong to?
This video is 8:47 long and it takes 2:30 to get into the actual content.
The whole video is just rambling, this could have been 60 seconds long with the same information.
I already knew that with ocarina of time.
There is planty of smal secrets that you can discover in that game. I remember that one version of the game I had on N64 the kokori forest was never invaded with enemies when you became adult link. After restarting enough new games it suddenly triggered and the kokori forest was overrun with giant dekubabas and scrubs. That is how it always was supposed to be and I did not get that.
Also the Megaton hammer had so many good uses that was never utilized completely. It affected much more enemies than you could imagine, ground based monsters and Wal spiders had special interactions with it and Megaton hammer was also able to be glitched with a simple combo of using it once on the ground and then hold sheild and switch to sword. In that stance you could break stones faster.
What a great game!
Underrated info
You should def do more challenges from these old n64 games. Love these and I know I'm not the only one! Good stuff buddy
It's interesting. I've played the 3DS version and I couldnt even get past the inside of that annoying tree. Orcarina of Time is a hard and mysterious game. It might be a glitch. But I wonder if this is in other versions of the game.
Ocarina of Time hard...
I can only wonder what would u call dark souls...
you..just kinda suck. sorry, OOT is not a hard game, and this is from someone who can't beat a Mega Man, DMC or Dark Souls game.
Anyone here has TLOZ four swords anniversary edition?
On the 3DS? Yeah.

Lol.
Please never run out of Oot content
Watching your videos have really made me think back on my old n64 memories since that's the system I grew up on I've really wanted to go back and stream these game or make let's plays of them now
Wtf was that intro tho
Also, start of the video: 2:05
The video starts at 3:20. The beginning is just filler.
Who knew?! I've played this game probably 30 times and never knew of the larger enemies, that's crazy! Love finding out weird easter eggs like this in games I thought I know like the back of my hand.
You can actually make the giant guay appear in Lon Lon Ranch at night as well.
