Ocarina of Time is the simplest and most straight forward of the 3D Zeldas, and there is an inherent appeal in that. You boot up the game and you're in your first dungeon in 30 minutes. This pace is relatively consistent throughout the whole game, too, especially if you don't bother with many side quests. In fact, if I had to describe this game in a word, it would be "consistent". It knows what it wants to do and does it effectively without much fluff. Every subsequent 3D Zelda has its own baggage you have to deal with when playing, whether it be MM's first hour, WW's sailing, TP's wolf hunts, or SS's sometimes questionable pacing. OoT has nothing like that. All that being said, however, it is still my least favorite 3D Zelda. I think all of the others have higher and more frequent high points that more than make up for their low points. MM specifically is my favorite Zelda game; I think the only problem there is the beginning. OoT is widely regarded as a fantastic game, and deservedly so, but I prefer the other games more because I like what they do more. And that really comes down to taste. But I do greatly appreciate OoT for both being a good game and for setting a standard of quality that all later 3D Zeldas should be held to.
I'd say my personal main gripe with this game has got to be the long cutscenes around the beginning, yeah, you may reach the first dungeon in minutes, but the early game is plagued with characters telling you about the lore and whatnot with the world's slowest text-scrolling speed x) I can't think of another 3D Zelda where that's a real problem for me. *Really* hope they allow some skipping in an eventual other remake. I think TP is the only Zelda that would allow almost every cutscene to be skipped... and that's a damn shame. More games should do that. Scratch that, EVERY game should have that option. Another OoT thing for me would be the overworld, but as long as you have Epona for the Adult half of the game, I can tolerate it.
I agree that practically every future game has higher highs than OoT, but I personally think that MM does have the lower lows and until BotW I considered it my least favorite 3D Zelda purely because the mechanics it introduced are nothing but annoying. While there is always plenty of time to do any particular quest during a fresh cycle, I hate that I have to do the same tasks over again if I screw up a later part of a quest or if the conclusion isn't available until later in the game, i.e. the Kafei quest and the Don Gero quest respectively. Seriously, I usually end up having to fight Goht 3 or 4 times every time I replay MM and it's quite annoying. Of course the 3DS version of MM does improve on a lot of these problems, just being able to travel ahead to any hour rather than just from day to night or night to day with the song of double time is a *MASSIVE* improvement, but the underlying problem is still there. I still have to fight Goht multiple times, I still have to revisit Woodfall Temple and fight the mini boss after completing Great Bay Temple for the Don Gero quest (assuming I have enough time after finishing Great Bay, and if I don't I have to do that temple over again too), and I still have to do the entire Kafei quest *twice* by default, which if I screw up at any point I still have to do the entire thing over again (UNLESS I'm playing the 3DS version and remembered to save between key points of the quest since that's another improvement from the remake, owl statues actually saving your game rather than just creating quick saves). MM 3D improved on the original in every single way (with only 2 caveats which I personally am *easily* able to overlook considering how many improvements it made) to the point that I now consider it on equal grounds with OoT 3D, but if we're talking the N64 originals I'll take OoT any day of the week. Yes, the world and characters of Termina are much more interesting than anything OoT does with its world, but none of that matters to me when I have to slog my way through so much tedium to experience it. Gameplay alone is what really drives replayability and MM just has so little of it compared to pretty much any other 3D Zelda for me, again minus BotW. If I had to summarize my opinion of MM, it would be "go watch the AVGN video on it".
7:11 - 7:21 GameInformer made a Top 300 Games list twice? Their latest list is pretty questionable since, for example, PUBG is in the top 100 games and I'm pretty sure it's still in Beta. Also, Ganondorf is REALLY hanging on here. 8:28 "I can't believe the Great King of Evil was beaten by this boy... DEEEEEEEWD!!!"
Thus it comes to an end. For the ganondorf battle, I'm pretty sure you can just shoot him with the light arrows when he does the multi-light ball attack. I actually never knew you could deflect them with the spin attack, but it seems so obvious and fitting when I think about it. One of the most memorable moments of this game (for the surrealness and horror) is that single redead on the bridge. The redeads are horrifying enough, but put one on such an enclosed space when you have a timer ticking down, it's some intense shit. The castle's destruction reminds me of the goomba king's castle destruction in paper mario 64, how it falls apart so neatly. For the ganon fight, I agree, the 3ds loses menace because of the increased light. Sometimes a lack of light can amplify instead of reduce. As for Navi leaving, she was original assigned to Dewd as someone to guide him on his journey. Since Dewd finished his journey, Navi probably assumed he didn't need her anymore. Clearly she was wrong~ I have a hard deciding what my favorite zelda game is, because ALTTP/ALBW, OOT, MM, and TP are some of my favorite games of all time. While I don't play TP anymore because it's a bitch to setup, going back to OOT or MM or ALBW is easy, because they've got so much to do that I never feel bored when retreading them, yet there's not enough to do that I get burnt out mid-way through. The same can't be said for BotW or SS, both were a chore to playthrough with few redeeming features (SS being worse). For ALLTP/ALBW, I enjoy their item selections the most, for OOT I enjoy the dungeons the most, and for MM I enjoy the masks and the optional stuff the most; TP has a bit of everything. So yeah, I loved this playthrough, I got to learn new things, I got to see new (and horrifyingly glitchy) things, and overall you guys I treat to listen to.
My favorite thing is that if you glitch the game and get to the final boss point with Child Link, a Deku Stick is as powerful as the Master Sword here if I remember correctly Since they didn't expect you to be here with it, they never changed that
the master sword as the same power output as the deku sticks, however enemies in hte adualt link dungeons are beefed up a bit so the scaled system making the master sword feel meh
Shade1602 is it like the knife in the Krauser fight where that one weapon's damage values are boosted so high? And since deku stick matches the Master Sword...
no, here the master sword uses hte same damage value as deku sticks, there is more proof of this as deku sticks do more damage to ganon and there are people who mod hte master sword to kid link, where he holds it with both hands
And the premise for *The Legend of Link: Lucky Number 13* was born - Link gets sent back... only for Navi to wake him up and take him to the Deku Tree. Cue Link bitching about being stuck in a timeloop that no one acknowledges but him.
When you see Ganon in this game for the first time, it is amazing how atmospheric it is. From the overall lighting to the sheer size of Ganon himself, there is an absolute air of menace floating around. Plus the music even adds to the intensity of the fight.
Number one gaming memory. I was so intimidated. The atmosphere is just perfect, and Zelda's shrieks are a great effect. This is the reason I fell in love with the Legend of Zelda.
While the 3DS version may take away the menace, it also adds in the fact that you can see the being you are fighting in it's entirety, which is also fairly menacing. Too bad this Ganon is... Really small compared to other Ganons...
other then majora mask and BoTW ive never played any zelda games all my experiences have been with you guys and i thank you for it so much never stop as long as you can go guys
I'm going to be completely honest. I find this final boss to be mediocre. I mean, the first phase is only little more than a tennis match with light balls. The second phase is an escape sequence that has a generous time limit and makes no sense contextually since you and zelda both know warping songs. And the third phase is just him slashing, walking towards you and slashing again. It's just...so bland. Don't get me wrong, the atmosphere is LEGENDARY...but the actual set of fights? Meh.
My personal favorite Ganon fight is in Hyrule Warriors, since it requires you to use everything you've learned on your journey, while Ocarina of Time's is just Light Arrow-Attack the Sword, and Twilight Princess is... Well, a little unwieldy, to say the least. That being said, Puppet Ganon/Wind Waker Ganondorf fights trump that, but neither of them are GANON.
Smug Sneasel you can say that about a LOT of zelda bosses sadly, Twilight Princess comes to mind immediately, the fights LOOK amazing, but they boil down to using dungeon item and mashing A
I'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks this boss is poorly design. All you do is hit the head to stun him and hit his tail to damage him and thats it. And despite how powerful his attacks they're very easy to avoid.
35:00 A popular fan-theory as to why Navi leaves: Navi helping Link during the final fight used up all of her energy as a fairy. When the fight is over and Link returns home, she's essentially used up the last of her life and is about to die.
it is very unfortunate that this LP has been done. I enjoyed this very much and laughedso hard sometimes . thank you for the good entertainment of you all rock .
Fun Fact: The final hit for Pig Ganon has to be with the Master Sword not the Big Goron Sword or Megaton Hammer, because if you don't use the Master Sword the fight will never end probably because the event was designed to activate with the Master Sword not any of the other weapons.
AlmightySmorg yeah I learned that the hard way as a kid. was like"i have the biggorron sword, I'm gonna use it". 20 minutes later "why hasn't he died yet?!"
Aviox The Master Sword nor light arrows can actually kill Ganon/Ganondwarf. They can only incapacitate him for a time, as seen by him reviving each time the Master Sword/ Light Arrows were used. Only the Silver Arrows can truly kill him.
Basically when I watched this the second time I actually teared up a bit because of how The SGB explained why they love this game. I agree with them wholeheartedly.
Thus ends one of gaming’s greatest triumphs. While this is still only my sixth favourite game in the series, I still enjoy this game, its story, its characters, and the way it revolutionized the series and video games as a whole. For that, it has my respect.
@@TheKpa11 The blood was censored to be green in version 1.2 and onward. The gold cartridge (which is the original release 1.0) had the uncensored blood and the second release 1.1, in a gray cartridge, also has red blood if I remember correctly.
Did anyone else tear up a little during the scene with Navi leaving Link? Not just because of her leaving but the somber music and epic bell tongs that played as Link walked away from the Master Sword.
Ocarina of Time is my favorite 3D Zelda game. It’s already been said, but this game still deserves the respect it got for laying down the 2D Adventure Game format Zelda has had into 3D.
The Ganondorf tennis fight has a few things you can do that Matt didn't show. For one the Long Shot can be used on not only the center platform to reduce the climb, but the Windows in the corners and Ganondorf himself. Also when he charges the multi blast attack you can just shoot him with a Light Arrow. Those are the only things I can remember off the top of my head anyway, been a few years since my last playthough of the game.
33:33 compared to Twilight Princess, Johnny "I would definitely say Ocarina has a better soundtrack." Johnny the flood gates you just opened for raging debates in the comment section will never be closed. *Even though you're wrong, TP's OST is better* >:) *Edit:* 7 months after posting the original comment I re-watched Johnny's Twilight Princess Review randomly and in it he said TP has a better ost compared to Ocarina so I am now confused :/
24:29-24:33 In the words of ZeldaMaster, “Ganon, YOU HAVE BEEN STABBED!!!!!” Also, fantastic job, dudes! Even though I prefer A Link Between Worlds and Majora’s Mask over this, OOT is still a really fun game even today and its influence on the industry will never be forgotten.
Also another thing. Ganondorf says he still has the triforce of power and not once have the sages or anyone thought "hey we should... Like you know, take the triforce of power from the fucker"
Well it was stated in an early development interview that Navi had feelings for Link (which later got added to the departure scene in the manga) so one of the theories for her leaving Link is centered on this.
35:08 So....question: Has there ever been any word on whether or not Link actually succeeds in finding Navi? Because as stated here, Majora's Mask begins with Link trying to find her and he does seem to continue that search at the very end of it...but that's also the last time we ever see N64 Link, (Not counting the implications of him turning into the Hero's Shade in Twilight Princess) so I'm not sure if Link ever did find Navi or if he died trying to find her and thus became the previously mentioned Hero's Shade in Twilight Princess.
They didn't show it off very well here, but in the fight against Ganon, you can trick him into breaking the towers around the area and they drop things. That's probably where the magic and fairies that Matt picked up came from, though it's hard to see. Each one drops a specific item; there's also one for arrows and I think there might be one for bombs.
fun fact in the zelda manga this was when Navi reveled to link that she was in love with him and right before she left told him that she feels secured now because the kokari forest was in the hands of a true hero
To be honest, and I said this before: I HATE that the series has an official cannon that tries to connect EVERY Zelda game as one continuity split into 3 other timelines. The Legend of Zelda games, to me atleast, is a Tale retold through different interpretations. (Like an actual Legend.) With some of those interpretations having their own sequel/continuation. (Zelda 2 being the continuation of Zelda 1, Majora's Mask being a continuation of OoT, ETC.) Just forcefully connecting them all into One Stable Continuity is just stupid to me
You can blame that on the fans, wanting a Canon timeline for the series. They're the ones who cried and whine about there being no timelines or connections to the series DX.
You can blame nintendo for that when fans wouldn't whine about timeline if nintendo didn't do constant prequels to the series so they can reuse the same final boss over and over again in 1 form or another.
You shoot that theory in the foot when you go and make actual sequels to these supposed retold legends. It's not so bad until you get to Wind Waker, which seemed so obsessed with making direct references to Ocarina and being its true successor. Then encouraged TP to do the same The true misstep was including the Four Swords games which had absolutely no reason to be there
The final boss fight against Ganon is the one reason why I'm so glad you guys chose to play the N64 version. The lighting and atmosphere is so perfect like you guys said. In the 3ds version it's like all that Ganon caused is a mild overcast...oh no.
In the original timeline where Ganondorf gets arrested because of Link's knowledge of what is to happen, Link can back up his story because in his meeting with Zelda after the credits, Link is in possession of the Triforce of Courage. That's how I see it. Why else would the king of Hyrule believe a 12 year old kid, if the kid has no proof? The proof has to be the Triforce of Courage. Anyway, great playthrough guys! Looking forward to Majora's Mask when you guys get to that.
Actually, since Hyrule Historia was published, Twilight Princess was put into the same timeline with Majora's Mask. Including Four Swords Adventures oddly.
Ok, yeah, it set the groundwork for all future 3D action-adventure games, but nearly every action-adventure game after this did it better. If this game deserves more praise than those for allowing them to be made, then PUBG deserves more praise than Fortnite.
I am not sure if I am crazy or not for this...but I somehow remember using the spin attack to reflect Ganondorf's charge attack, and all of his projectiles managed to land, skipping the light arrows in the process, as he lands directly on the floor if all hits land. Either way, it's just better to shoot him while he's charging, rather than waste additional magic.
And one more little Manga note to close this out. Navi's departure in the manga is explained as her only being allowed to follow Kokiri as a Fairy, and she also separates from Link during the travel back in time in that version, which makes it ambiguous if she returned to the Past with Link, if he even saw her go, some speculation was even that she left for the Sacred Realm, things like that. I found it interesting since it addresses the question without concretely answering it, in a way.
*Hyperon’s Notes* -Ganondorf’s ultimate plan was to be the ultimate organ player and show off his sick organ playing skillz. -I noticed the EEnE reference Elliot. -Ted’s foot in mouth continues to haunt him. -Yeah, Far Cry 5 was NOT meant to be up yesterday.
you can also simply shot a light arrow while he is charging and it will nullify the attack and down him edit, Deku Nuts work on Ganon too, for stun and damage
Wow, that was kinda painful to watch, no offence matt. It must be the let's play curse, kicking in. Anyway I had a really fun time with this playthrough, especially the jokes from you guys. As for the ocarina of time, I still think this is still good game, not my favorite, but it's still pretty darn good. I can't wait for the Majora's mask and Wind Waker, let's play's soon. These are by far my favorite 3D Zelda games in the series!
There are several ways to fight Ganon. For example, I roll under his legs and use the Longshot. Also, Minish Cap is MY favorite Zelda game. And I made someone squee by admitting that...
You know what the next games going to be. My favorite Zelda game period. I hope they get Uncle to be a part of it. And Sabrina too. The more the merrier.
7:00 you're supposed to do a charged spin attack when Ganondorf charges that much lightning. Also, the bottle doesn't increase the speed on the "tennis ball" as much as a sword swing. That AND the fact that you stood as far away as you did is why you were stuck in such a long loop. Edit: not 40 fucking seconds later, and I'm obsolete. -_-
I always found a bit weird that the final boss in the 3ds version of the game had so much more light in it. It honestly seems like a pointless change since one of the things that make the fight against Ganon so epic is the fact that you can't completely see him. It's especially odd when you consider how the 3ds version of the game keeps so many glitches from the original version.
Zelda: dewd this place is collapsing we must leave! Me: oh jeez Zelda you think? I thought we just sit around and have a nice picnic while the place falls
Ganondorf: Dewd! How dare you interrupt my organ lessons! Now, help me practice my tennis skills!
Dewd:........why?
Ganondorf: Gotta get prepared for the Hyrule Olympics
Dewd: ok. But why the organ lessons?
Ganondorf: I’m going to play our anthem song.
Dewd: oh cool.
Ganondorf: And I’m singing!
Dewd:............Oh 3 sacred goddess. Please forgive our sins
Alejandro Rodriguez LOL I'm crying oh my god
Super Joe101 Haha this deserves more likes
36:31 Johnny: "Matt's going to be taking control of Majora's Mask."
...Oh no.
oh yes :3 I always wanted to see what his play-style was.
The Fresh Prince of Gerudo made me laugh. Great LP, SGB!
Someone needs to expand it into a full song! That would be awesome!
And this is why I'm going to miss SGB.
that bottle is the true bane of evil.
I thought it was the jump slash deku stick?

Aviox The Master Sword nor light arrows can actually kill Ganon/Ganondwarf. They can only incapacitate him for a time, as seen by him reviving each time the Master Sword/ Light Arrows were used. Only the Silver Arrows can truly kill him.
SonicMaster Sword Wind Waker and Twilight Princess have Ganondorf get killed by the Master Sword, silver arrows aren't a requirement at all
The Fresh Prince bit was amazing, best part of the video.
Good job on this, Matt! This was a great Let's Play to watch. I really need to replay OoT at some point.
Basically when I watched this the second time I actually teared up a bit because of how The SGB explained why they love this game. I agree with them wholeheartedly.
Thus ends one of gaming’s greatest triumphs.
While this is still only my sixth favourite game in the series, I still enjoy this game, its story, its characters, and the way it revolutionized the series and video games as a whole. For that, it has my respect.
And thus a new timeline was born and my Inner Life....
Look I've been late, but I will remind you it existed
Your lucky Matt.. To own the copy when Ganon coughs blood.
I thought it was determined by the name you put in, the version my brother owned and played again years ago also had Red blood
@@TheKpa11 The blood was censored to be green in version 1.2 and onward. The gold cartridge (which is the original release 1.0) had the uncensored blood and the second release 1.1, in a gray cartridge, also has red blood if I remember correctly.
Did anyone else tear up a little during the scene with Navi leaving Link? Not just because of her leaving but the somber music and epic bell tongs that played as Link walked away from the Master Sword.
I love Elliot's reaction to using the bottle for the energy tennis.
Ocarina of Time is my favorite 3D Zelda game. It’s already been said, but this game still deserves the respect it got for laying down the 2D Adventure Game format Zelda has had into 3D.
so in this part we turn ganon into a pig-skin rug?
26:08, you can add on to the SGB greatest hits, along with
theme to the dark world,
the monster smash,
cover of superstar,
and many more tracks.
The Ganondorf tennis fight has a few things you can do that Matt didn't show. For one the Long Shot can be used on not only the center platform to reduce the climb, but the Windows in the corners and Ganondorf himself. Also when he charges the multi blast attack you can just shoot him with a Light Arrow. Those are the only things I can remember off the top of my head anyway, been a few years since my last playthough of the game.
I'd love to see you guys tackle metroid prime 2: echoes soon
I loved this playthrough! Can't wait for Majora's Mask!
I was in the middle of catching up on all the episodes I missed, and then this got uploaded. Oh fuck yeah.
33:33 compared to Twilight Princess, Johnny "I would definitely say Ocarina has a better soundtrack." Johnny the flood gates you just opened for raging debates in the comment section will never be closed.
*Even though you're wrong, TP's OST is better* >:)
*Edit:* 7 months after posting the original comment I re-watched Johnny's Twilight Princess Review randomly and in it he said TP has a better ost compared to Ocarina so I am now confused :/
Salvador....
*"LONG TIME NO SEE"*
Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda and the soundtrack is amazing. Love your pfp :D
You can shoot him with a light arrow when he’s charging the volley
I never tried that🤔
How did I forget that? I've been sitting here trying to avoid it. 😂
24:29-24:33 In the words of ZeldaMaster, “Ganon, YOU HAVE BEEN STABBED!!!!!” Also, fantastic job, dudes! Even though I prefer A Link Between Worlds and Majora’s Mask over this, OOT is still a really fun game even today and its influence on the industry will never be forgotten.
Actually, this has an official term; it's called Deadman's Volley, if you guys didn't already know that.
Andy Murry, shows up in the sky and says Dewd you made me proud XD
Also another thing. Ganondorf says he still has the triforce of power and not once have the sages or anyone thought "hey we should... Like you know, take the triforce of power from the fucker"
The Fresh Prince of Gurudo make that a t-shirt I demand it XD
Awesome LP guys! Can't wait to see Majora's Mask. :)
What a great play throigh! But I never knew there was 3 time lines from this game 0_o
5:21 I think I heard the fact that as you fight him, his cape deteriorates.
7:43 I didn't know this can happen😮
7:11 OMG I don't know how much time passed between that jumpcut but look at how many hearts he lost!
Well it was stated in an early development interview that Navi had feelings for Link (which later got added to the departure scene in the manga) so one of the theories for her leaving Link is centered on this.
35:08 So....question: Has there ever been any word on whether or not Link actually succeeds in finding Navi? Because as stated here, Majora's Mask begins with Link trying to find her and he does seem to continue that search at the very end of it...but that's also the last time we ever see N64 Link, (Not counting the implications of him turning into the Hero's Shade in Twilight Princess) so I'm not sure if Link ever did find Navi or if he died trying to find her and thus became the previously mentioned Hero's Shade in Twilight Princess.
Oh man, this was a great LP. I can't wait for the Majora's Mask LP.
They didn't show it off very well here, but in the fight against Ganon, you can trick him into breaking the towers around the area and they drop things. That's probably where the magic and fairies that Matt picked up came from, though it's hard to see. Each one drops a specific item; there's also one for arrows and I think there might be one for bombs.
My god this was an amazing let's play and the end of it was gorgeous.
And next, Majora's Mask... 10 years later
This is the first time I noticed it... in 35:56, you can see the Triforce of Courage still in Link's hand.
fun fact in the zelda manga this was when Navi reveled to link that she was in love with him and right before she left told him that she feels secured now because the kokari forest was in the hands of a true hero
To be honest, and I said this before:
I HATE that the series has an official cannon that tries to connect EVERY Zelda game as one continuity split into 3 other timelines.
The Legend of Zelda games, to me atleast, is a Tale retold through different interpretations. (Like an actual Legend.)
With some of those interpretations having their own sequel/continuation. (Zelda 2 being the continuation of Zelda 1, Majora's Mask being a continuation of OoT, ETC.)
Just forcefully connecting them all into One Stable Continuity is just stupid to me
You can blame that on the fans, wanting a Canon timeline for the series. They're the ones who cried and whine about there being no timelines or connections to the series DX.
You can blame nintendo for that when fans wouldn't whine about timeline if nintendo didn't do constant prequels to the series so they can reuse the same final boss over and over again in 1 form or another.
Well, Breath of the Wild kinda fixed that by making all three timelines just legends.
Until the next game comes out and Breath of the Wild becomes timeline #4. Watch, it's totally going to happen.
You shoot that theory in the foot when you go and make actual sequels to these supposed retold legends. It's not so bad until you get to Wind Waker, which seemed so obsessed with making direct references to Ocarina and being its true successor. Then encouraged TP to do the same
The true misstep was including the Four Swords games which had absolutely no reason to be there
Are you still planning on doing Majora's Mask? It's been a couple years so just wondering.
They where but then 2020 happened.
The LP curse was strong in this one.
I never knew you could deflect the electric balls with bottles. xD
7:44 - And I didn't know you can do that too! :O
Why did you spin attack the shots in Ganondorf round 1? Ganondorf drops to the ground if hit by Light Arrows when he summons the Genkidama
The final boss fight against Ganon is the one reason why I'm so glad you guys chose to play the N64 version. The lighting and atmosphere is so perfect like you guys said. In the 3ds version it's like all that Ganon caused is a mild overcast...oh no.
When my sister beat OoT, she theorized that Navi was a young Great Fairy. There’s nothing in the game that implies that, but it’s fun to think about.
In the original timeline where Ganondorf gets arrested because of Link's knowledge of what is to happen, Link can back up his story because in his meeting with Zelda after the credits, Link is in possession of the Triforce of Courage. That's how I see it. Why else would the king of Hyrule believe a 12 year old kid, if the kid has no proof? The proof has to be the Triforce of Courage. Anyway, great playthrough guys! Looking forward to Majora's Mask when you guys get to that.
Actually, since Hyrule Historia was published, Twilight Princess was put into the same timeline with Majora's Mask. Including Four Swords Adventures oddly.
Ok, yeah, it set the groundwork for all future 3D action-adventure games, but nearly every action-adventure game after this did it better. If this game deserves more praise than those for allowing them to be made, then PUBG deserves more praise than Fortnite.
I am not sure if I am crazy or not for this...but I somehow remember using the spin attack to reflect Ganondorf's charge attack, and all of his projectiles managed to land, skipping the light arrows in the process, as he lands directly on the floor if all hits land. Either way, it's just better to shoot him while he's charging, rather than waste additional magic.
And one more little Manga note to close this out. Navi's departure in the manga is explained as her only being allowed to follow Kokiri as a Fairy, and she also separates from Link during the travel back in time in that version, which makes it ambiguous if she returned to the Past with Link, if he even saw her go, some speculation was even that she left for the Sacred Realm, things like that. I found it interesting since it addresses the question without concretely answering it, in a way.
I lost it at 28:46! Can't stop watching it over and over again! XD
8:48 Mr.Ganondorf, I don't feel so good
you can lightarrow ganondorf when he does the giant sphere attack, I didn't know you could bounce back those spheres coming from it though lol
So wait, if Link had to get into Ganondorf's tower with a magic bridge, where the fuck did the dirt bridge they escape on come from
*Hyperon’s Notes*
-Ganondorf’s ultimate plan was to be the ultimate organ player and show off his sick organ playing skillz.
-I noticed the EEnE reference Elliot.
-Ted’s foot in mouth continues to haunt him.
-Yeah, Far Cry 5 was NOT meant to be up yesterday.
8:31 is that a pokeball on his glove?
Navi leaves and is like "Bitch you killed the deku tree"
The whole towers on fire!
Cool! Its raining firey rocks!
PyroJiro the whole city's on fire
Dinotoonz AKA Ashton Fitzsimmons
Yep. Sure was what I was referencing!
you can also simply shot a light arrow while he is charging and it will nullify the attack and down him
edit, Deku Nuts work on Ganon too, for stun and damage
Roll under Ganon, nut on his tail, rinse wash and repeat, its super easy and humiliating to Ganon.
Fun LP guys!
the link lose time line is when link doesnt go face ganon and hyrule converts to christianity
Great video but wow I can't believe this took longer than resident evil 4
Wow, that was kinda painful to watch, no offence matt. It must be the let's play curse, kicking in. Anyway I had a really fun time with this playthrough, especially the jokes from you guys. As for the ocarina of time, I still think this is still good game, not my favorite, but it's still pretty darn good. I can't wait for the Majora's mask and Wind Waker, let's play's soon. These are by far my favorite 3D Zelda games in the series!
Fun Fact you can use Deku Nuts on Ganon's tail and it will count as a hit, so yes you can nut Ganon :D, Great lets play overall Love you guys
25:23 - And then we learned the story of the sages and Ganon's defeat were all an allegory for representative democracy?
Little tip: don't jump to and from Ganondorf. Use the hookshot on Ganondorf and the stained glass windows. It's infinitely safer.
At least the Twilight Princess Timeline doesn't have a lot of death like the other two as one had a big war and the other had a flood.
There are several ways to fight Ganon. For example, I roll under his legs and use the Longshot. Also, Minish Cap is MY favorite Zelda game. And I made someone squee by admitting that...
Thats the GBA game, right?
(Im going on a GBA binge soon btw. I managed to get Wario Land 4 yesterday)
PLAY MINISH CAP! PLEASE!
Consider it done
Or atleast added to my lil bucket list
7:43 "Spinny Attack! Shiny Attack! Stabby Attack!"
You know what the next games going to be.
My favorite Zelda game period.
I hope they get Uncle to be a part of it. And Sabrina too. The more the merrier.
CDi Faces of evil... ofcourse
This is a little late, but the Hover Boots help traverse the gaps a lot easier.
for the multi projectile attack, no need to spin attack, just shot a light arrow while he's charging. Much easier and faster.
7:00 you're supposed to do a charged spin attack when Ganondorf charges that much lightning. Also, the bottle doesn't increase the speed on the "tennis ball" as much as a sword swing. That AND the fact that you stood as far away as you did is why you were stuck in such a long loop.
Edit: not 40 fucking seconds later, and I'm obsolete. -_-
How the hell have you not figured out how to do the Quick Spin? It doesn’t even use magic!
I wonder what Johnny's (or Elliot's) next game is.
the fun thing about Ganondorf's charge up attack is you can just shoot him with the arrow to interrupt
Matt using Deku sticks as kid Link but not Biggoron's sword as adult Link is an example of what happens when you don't take your ADHD meds.
I always found a bit weird that the final boss in the 3ds version of the game had so much more light in it.
It honestly seems like a pointless change since one of the things that make the fight against Ganon so epic is the fact that you can't completely see him.
It's especially odd when you consider how the 3ds version of the game keeps so many glitches from the original version.
i think it was done because its a handheld
Zelda: dewd this place is collapsing we must leave!
Me: oh jeez Zelda you think? I thought we just sit around and have a nice picnic while the place falls
