Bongo Bongo + Ice Arrows = hilarity. Because if you shoot his hand with an ice arrow, it freezes solid, and BB will outright stop the fight entirely, then proceed to smash his frozen hand with his free hand. This skips the need to shoot the second hand, and makes a fun little easter egg should you get the arrows before fighting him.
Funny story… when I played through Twilight Princess for the first time, I didn’t get any of the howling stones other than the first, did almost no side quests or mini games, and was not prepared when I got to the Ganon fight. When I found out that you could use the fishing pole to distract him, I very much took advantage of that. I literally couldn’t kill him otherwise so the fishing pole helped me beat the game despite my inexperience. Love your videos and hoping to get BOTW this Christmas!
The drawing on Link's tree is rather simple. It is just a drawing of a kid who admires heroism and potentially wants to be one himself one day. Rather than it being something specific, it can instead be seen as looking into Link's heart.
I always assumed it was a dream he had. Link does have dreams of future events in oot so I thought maybe he dreamed about dodongo? I don't know though.
@@ValerionIncubusWolf That alone is something worthy of an extensive theory. Link, the Hero of Time, proved to have the ability to see into the future. I think Zelda has the very same ability in oot, which could further imply something about the two characters. Is it common for the incarnations to have visions?
* Zelda and Impa fleeing for their lives * * one of the happiest songs in the game playing * Makes total sense. In all seriousness, fun to see these secrets!
Watching the 3DS footage of Odolwa made me so sad. That boss fight used to actually be FUN. Until all you had to do was drop a deku nut on him. You used to actually have to FIGHT him, and just kill him however the heck you could manage. Not a simple one-attack repeat :(
A neat detail I also found out semi-recently about the bug net being used in the Demise fight is that not only can it distract Demise, but it if you time a swing with the bug net properly, you can also deflect the lightning sword beams demise shoots when he swings his inverted Master Sword. I imagine it's a call back to both the fishing rod distraction in TP, and also the long running bottle swing against Ganondorf's energy balls.
I had a stray thought today while playing botw, unrelated to the video. Do you think Jabu Jabu has any relation to the Moldugas in botw? The Gerudo desert was once a sea, right? Is it possible that the moldugas are a version of whatever Jabu Jabu was? Not being fed by the Zora people, maybe the species adapted to be more predatory and then eventually to the sand as well?
*"The Gerudo desert was once a sea, right?"* You mean Lanayru Desert? I do not believe that Lanayru Desert became the Gerudo Desert. One reason for this is that the Lanayru Province is the location of Zora River and Zora's Domain but south of the River in some games (LoZ, ALttP, ALBW, BotW) is a "mountainous" desert-like location with few or no greenery where in some games (LoZ, BotW) is connected to the sea, and some of those games (ALttP, ALBW, BotW) do have a different "sandy" desert surrounded by mountain ranges just like Gerudo Desert known in some games (ALttP, ALBW) as the Desert of Mystery. This "mountainous" desert-like location with few or no greenery within the Province of Lanayru where in some games is connected to the sea is very likely Lanayru Desert. It makes more sense when you realize that the entire game of Skyward Sword is mirrored just like Twilight Princess (Wii).
I do like being able to pick up the huge swords after the koloktos fight. Would’ve been fun if you could go back right before the demise fight and carry a giant sword back to the final battle I’m just picturing Demise growing impatient while waiting for link. Then he just sees link teleport in with a sword dwarfing everything on the battlefield Lovely video as always btw!
another secret demise waits for link to pull out his master sword from the ground or water in skyward sword when link misses the fatal blow on demise (small point)
I always assumed that the Great Deku tree cultivated the friendship between Saria and Link. He would have known Saria's destiny if he knew Link's. This cultivation could be what Mido perceived as favoritism and what made him jealous. Saria spent one on one time with the Deku Tree being told stories of the other races and being told about their lands and he encouraged her to spend time with Link and share these stories. They spent hours together Saria telling Link stories almost like a bard telling tales of lands far away. This was likely a drawing from what was interpreted from a story passed from the Great Deku to Saria and then to Link. This is even supported in the game by dialogue from Saria. There is knowledge she passes on to Link and implies she learned it front the Great Deku Tree. We also know that she spent one on one time with the Great Deku Tree often and it is implied Link did not see him very often if at all. It alternatively can be implied that Mido could have been jealous not bc of having a crush on Saria but bc he knew if she paid attention to a boy it is bc she was being told to by the Great Deku Tree and Mido wanted to be important and was a prideful little thing. The Great Deku tree noticed Link and Link was getting more recent attention. Saria, having a closer connection to the forest and to the Great Deku, sees Link and pays attention to him. This means, to Mido, that the forest and by extension the Great Deku views Link as important and not Mido. Either reasoning for Mido's jealousy, I do still feel if you read between the lines, that my assumption that Saria was encouraged to spend time with Link is supported, in game, and thru these stories she shared with Link, a drawing could have been rendered. She probably intended to tell him more but Link was prompted for his destiny before she could. I mean she never got to tell him of the Zora. It is clear Link had to embark on his quest sooner than the forest had prepared him for. Link learns of the Zora thru the forest spirits when playing the ocarina to commune with Saria.The wording here implies he has never heard of the Zora and Saria implies she heard the stories of them thru the Great Deku Tree. This also explains why the Korkiri are told they will die if they leave the forest. I believe the Deku Tree had them take this form years before Link arrived because I believe he has prophetic powers and knew Link would come one day. This was to comfort Link and manipulate events to prepare him for his destiny. They were given this form and told this to protect Link. If he stayed among a race that was peaceful and open to all other races he would be exposed to everyone and it is likely they did not know where the evil would come from precisely. This approach allowed them to live in forest isolation and covet Link until he is ready but destiny came way sooner than Hyrule had anticipated which is also why I believe the timeline split. If Link had been ready and had aged enough before Ganondorf made his move then there wouldn't be a split. . The adult timeline and downfall timeline are a result of Link not being prepared and freezing him in time only aged him. He did not gain the life experience he would have if he lived those years out naturally. He was a boy in a man's body, he was never a man. The child timeline would not exist either bc it was the innocent Link that Zelda met that she felt bad for and it is why she made the childish decision to send him back in time without understanding the consequences. So why was Ganondorf so powerful and why did he rise to power so much sooner than destined to? Simple, his surrogate mothers had the power of prophecy as well and saw Demise within the boy and likely taught him magick and probably set him on his destiny. I don't even think the plans in OoT were his plans. Yes, in later installments we see him as very cunning. But these plans were likely in the making years and years ago. We also see that these surrogate mothers took over the Spirit Temple. They likely told him of the sages and where the Triforce could be found and taught him how to do the curses and who to target. They also likely knew of Volvogia. If not for their influence he might not have acted as quickly and Link might have been a few years older and more prepared. The series shows that age does not make the hero but rather his experiences and the help he receives from those around him. But in many titles Ganondorf does not have much in the way of help but rather he manipulates others and takes power for himself. He had help in OoT and Link, while receiving some help, was not able to embark on his journey when he was supposed to. He did ultimately gain the necessary experience and sealing him in time for 7 years did grant him the body of a man, but he was still just a boy inhabiting that body and while our family experience does not highlight what I am saying all that well and we may find it hard to see how this is different from any other title, the difference is written in volumes in the timeline split that results from Ganondorf embarking on his destiny sooner than the gods had anticipated and Link embarking sooner than he was prepared for. When Link was told about where to find the Gorons, I get the impression he does not know the location but nothing directly implies, from what I recall, that he doesn't know what a Goron is. And his surprise when meeting one does make sense if he has never met one but did happen to hear stories of them from Saria. I don't think anything in the game contradicts this theory and it can explain the drawing so it is what I choose to believe. Additionally, I think it shows or hints at a slow plan to prepare Link for getting the spiritual stones and then using the sword to stop Ganondorf but since things were set in motion sooner than expected, he was sealed for 7 years because he was not ready, which means the game supports what I am saying. And the temples were attacked and so the quest and destiny was extended to include more heroism than was called for in the original plan.
I unironically like that time Link fought "a train". So strange. I wouldn't have given "the Zelda series" a chance without a game about locomotives, I'm kind of grateful ST exists.
As I was first playing Breath of the Wild, I was looking for any Majoras Mask references that might be there, and decided to stare at the moon for a long time, thinking that there would be an Easter egg with the Blood moons or something. Instead, I ended up noticing something kinda interesting that might be a subtle nod. When the moon hits midnight, it rotates around 90 degrees and starts to head towards the horizon. The craters seemed to look vaguely like the imprint of a face, 2 eye divots, a longer crater that looked mouth-ish, stuff like that. It’s definitely not flat out eyeballs and teeth, but to me it seemed interesting nonetheless. Then I looked at a picture of the real moon and realized that the one in BotW wasn’t just a copy of the one irl, meaning that any details on it would have been deliberately put there by a developer. Plus the fact that the real moon doesn’t shift 90 degrees at midnight. I haven’t seen any theories about this detail ever crop up online, so I thought maybe a channel like this could take a look at the moon and confirm that I’m not just seeing things haha.
I don’t think this would count as a secret, but in Breath of the Wild you can distract both Master Kogha and Monk Maz Koshia with bananas. This makes sense in the game because ALL members of the Yiga Clan can get distracted by the potassium-rich berries (Yes, Bananas are actually Berries. The More You Know). As for Maz Koshia, they are an ancient Sheikah monk, and the Yiga Clan are an offshoot of the Sheikah that decided to worship Ganon.
What a fantastic video, and glad that footage was put to good use! Happy Halloween Hyrule Gamer (HHHG) Zelda bosses are so iconic, so this is such a great video concept. Well done. Edit: I did not know about that last one!! Such a great detail!!
The carving on Link's house was likely made by him and based on one of his prophetic dreams. The game begins without of these said dreams depicting the scene of Ganondorf pursuing Zelda, so we know Link has visions of the future in his dream it's possible one of those visions was of him battling King Dodongo, inspiring that carving he made on his home.
I'm pretty sure the intention with the drawing at link's house in oot is that he's had visions of fighting king dodongo, much like his other visions and so he drew a picture of it much like how a lot of kids will draw stuff from their dreams
I have a favourite secret to share with you Hyrule Gamer. While fighting Majora's Incarnation in Majora's Mask Final Battle, I noticed an easter egg when Majora does this similar dancing fashion of a ballerina, it chants 4 beats. It's sounds very familiar because it's actually a reminiscent to the theme of Level 9 Death Mountain in the classic game, The Legend of Zelda.
@@HyruleGamer I'm such a huge fan of your channel Hyrule Gamer. To be honest, I have so many secrets to share with you just in case if you want to take notes, but there's too much to talk about lol.
The faint wisp of Majora's mask that appears after beating each of the 4 Bosses in the game is supposed to symbolize the curse that was placed upon them being broken, as all 4 masked beasts are respectfully imprisoning one of the 4 giants that protect the land of Termina!
What's better than one secret from Majora's Mask? Two secrets! I do believe I knew about Odalwa's chants, but not the special smoke after the boss is defeated. Wonderful video.
5:25-5:35 Also in the house in Kakariko where the man doesnt like people barging into his home, you find several drawings. If you look closely each one references a detail in the game
That Dino drawing, maybe Link has dreamt about the fight, like he dreamt of Ganondorf before and since he's a child he was like "eh looked cool, might as well draw it"
In Link's Awakening (the original & DX) if you hold the mushroom (the one that you'd normally use for magic powder) out you one shot the blob boss (forgot its name) in the color dungeon. It also defeats the first phase of the final boss the one where.
5:43 Correction, OoT Link is known to have prophetic dreams, similarly to Skyward Sword Link, as shown by OoT Link seeing Ganondorf's Introduction in his dreams, only to face the situation after getting the Spiritual Stones. It could be that the drawing was part of a prophetic dream Link had in the past, foreseeing his fight with King Dodongo, or maybe even a dream relating to a past Link's interactions with Dodongos.
In Ocarina of Time, if you shoot Bongo Bongo with Ice Arrows, there is a secret animation of him slapping his frozen hand with his free one to break the ice. Almost nobody has seen this but it exists in the game, there's youtube footage of it. Most players find out about this decades later when they have cheats on to get everything in their inventory, and are just messing around with the ice arrow. Nothing else in the entire game does that, and you can't replay bosses in the original, so it's extremely rare to see. The only legit way to see this is to get the items in the shadow temple but purposefully skip the boss, then also play the rest of the game enough until you unlock everything in the Gerudo ice arrow dungeon, then happen to go back and fight Bongo Bongo and think to use the ice arrows, which is even more absurdly unlikely for random casual players to do. Nobody knows why they bothered to do this.
Also, I wanted to apologize for a comment I made on you Valentine's Day video. I don't know if you remember it, it was a while ago lol, but I just went back and saw it again and realized I was really rude, so I changed it. It was a while ago, I just felt the need to apologize for it
ever since i first played majoras mask, the first boss battle always made me laugh. specifically at the part where hes calling the moths i like to imagine that he's struggling from a rough divorce and resents the world, so he screams her name in agony while intending to kill link with the moths: SHADONA! SHADONA! SHADONA! SHADONA!
I saw you in the comments on QuinBoBin’s Minish cap video. Thought it was fun seeing you unexpectedly. On a different note, this was a good video, very informative.
personally I think the drawing of link fighting a dinosaur on the tree is just something him and saria carved into the tree when he was a child, I think it's suppose to be more of a world building thing about their friendship rather than a hint about Dodongo or Ganon
The dinosaur drawing could also be one of Link's dream visions. The game does start with Link having a dream about confronting Ganondorf in front of Castle Town's gates after all.
Okay, that last secret was awesome. I never noticed that in my old play-throughs of the game. Does that image appear in the original, or only in the DS remake?
I wonder how Odolwa's audio was found. The original audio was never found, as far as I know, and I wonder if in whatever source it came from it had a translation of what the chant means, and the developers thought it would be cool, or if this was all just a huge coincidence A little bit of nitpick, but I wonder why choose to show footage from the Majora's remake, where the boss fight is so disappointing compared to the original
Ok, everyone, let’s sing together. Is this the real life? Is this just Termina? Caught in a Deku sprout, No escape from the salesman. Open your eyes, look up to the moon And scream… I’m just a fairy boy I need to find Navi….
Actually, the drawing of King Dodongo might make sense. Link had a vision of Ganondorf at the start of the game. We don't know how long this was going on or how many visions he had, so it's possible Link saw himself fighting King Dodongo. A lot of kids draw their dreams, and I'd imagine fighting a fire breathing lizard would've been pretty memorable.
I always thought that Odolwa said (2 of the 3 phrases) In the first one : get outta the way! Get outta the way! Get outta the way! And the second one when he starts flipping and dispatching enemies: You’re gonna die! You’re gonna die! You’re gonna die! XD little touch of the Mondegreen I guess haha
The drawing on links house could be a time Paradoxon aswell because Zelda puts link back in time to relive his childhood so the drawing could be link against ganon maybe?
These were really interesting, HG! I didn't know the one about Fyrus. Unrelated, but Twilight Princess is the third Zelda game I played (back around middle school, WW->SS->TP (all three were played around the same time)), and it has some incredible music. The nostalgia might be intensifying it, but I think it's the Zelda game with my favorite music (with Wind Waker being tied or a close second, and SS a close third.) The funny thing is, out of those three, TP is the only one I haven't beaten (and because of two Pieces of Heart, I ain't gonna 100% it, lol.)
First time I met Fyrus I was both tired and stressed that using my iron boots the thought never fell on me, beated him with shooting arrows only xD I just remembered it after watching this vid
I definitely was one of the people who thought it was Ganon as a kid and now. I guess because King Dodongo never actually stands on two legs. I thought that perhaps Link, like Zelda, had dream/premonitions of things in his fate and interpreted the Ganon battle as a giant dinosaur. Being a 9 year old obsessed with dinosaurs when OoT came out it made sense to me 😅 Once I heard the Dodongo interpretation I could definitely see it, but the bipedal nature will always make me see Ganon. Great vid! Thanks for your hard work, happy Halloween!
I've always assumed the drawing on Link's tree house was from one of his prophetic dreams, i.e he decided to draw the monster he saw in his dream. I'f he foresaw his interaction with Gannon outside Castletown then he very likely foresaw other battles and interactions in his dreams.
Not a mystery, but a particularly creepy moment was the first blood moon in BotW... when you don´t know whats happening, the music gets faster, everything turns red... damn, that scared me.
6:31 you forgot to mention that detail is only in the 3DS version, it’s a neat detail but man it’s sad how the boss fights in that version of the game were ruined
How is it that young Link can be next to the lava(or magma?) in that boss battle (2nd dungeon), but adult Link can't be in the Volcano in Death Mountain? I get that young link isnt completely in a volcano but there are still some spots that have lava/magma of some kind.
That drawing link did around his tree house most likely just his childhood fantasys only it became legit what he was going to do in real life I seen a few kids hade fantasys like that heck I was one of them now I'm all grown up knowing these fantasys I have are actually dangerous for a child to be in lol.
Honestly, I don't think that drawing on Link's house represents anything specific. My interpretation has always been that he'd (figuratively) dreamed about going on adventures outside the forest, simple as. Of course then he quickly discovered that going on a quest isn't exactly a fairy tale.
Happy Halloween btw! 🎃
P.S shoutout to Mother Hyrule AGAIN as they showed me the last secret of the video! 💜
Happy Halloween too!

I haven’t seen any theories about this detail ever crop up online, so I thought maybe a channel like this could take a look at the moon and confirm that I’m not just seeing things haha.
I don’t think this would count as a secret, but in Breath of the Wild you can distract both Master Kogha and Monk Maz Koshia with bananas.
This makes sense in the game because ALL members of the Yiga Clan can get distracted by the potassium-rich berries (Yes, Bananas are actually Berries. The More You Know). As for Maz Koshia, they are an ancient Sheikah monk, and the Yiga Clan are an offshoot of the Sheikah that decided to worship Ganon.
Haha that is cool though!
That last one was spooky! A perfect fun fact for Halloween.
Indeed!
I can't believe there are others who love Twilight Princess! You have given me so many hours of videos to watch while I build Zelda legos !
Shoutout to the Discord Family!!!✨ And Happy Halloween 🎃
Thanks! Happy Halloween 🎃
Yessir 🎃
💜
What a fantastic video, and glad that footage was put to good use!
Happy Halloween Hyrule Gamer (HHHG)
Zelda bosses are so iconic, so this is such a great video concept. Well done.
Edit: I did not know about that last one!! Such a great detail!!
Thank you good sir!
The carving on Link's house was likely made by him and based on one of his prophetic dreams. The game begins without of these said dreams depicting the scene of Ganondorf pursuing Zelda, so we know Link has visions of the future in his dream it's possible one of those visions was of him battling King Dodongo, inspiring that carving he made on his home.
Using the forest water on kalle demos in the forbidden woods to instantly kill it is one of the coolest boss secrets.
I'm pretty sure the intention with the drawing at link's house in oot is that he's had visions of fighting king dodongo, much like his other visions and so he drew a picture of it much like how a lot of kids will draw stuff from their dreams
Oh interesting
I have a favourite secret to share with you Hyrule Gamer. While fighting Majora's Incarnation in Majora's Mask Final Battle, I noticed an easter egg when Majora does this similar dancing fashion of a ballerina, it chants 4 beats. It's sounds very familiar because it's actually a reminiscent to the theme of Level 9 Death Mountain in the classic game, The Legend of Zelda.
Interesting
@@HyruleGamer Thank you
@@HyruleGamer I'm such a huge fan of your channel Hyrule Gamer. To be honest, I have so many secrets to share with you just in case if you want to take notes, but there's too much to talk about lol.
The faint wisp of Majora's mask that appears after beating each of the 4 Bosses in the game is supposed to symbolize the curse that was placed upon them being broken, as all 4 masked beasts are respectfully imprisoning one of the 4 giants that protect the land of Termina!
So cool!
They don’t show up in the N64 version do they?
@@SaxyCalzone Nope
@@SaxyCalzone Not that I recall. It's only seen in the 3DS remake.
I always assumed that the little drawing at the base of the tree was a reference to the first boss fight from the original Zelda .
Hey HG!
I’m new to your channel, but I’m enjoying your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot!
What's better than one secret from Majora's Mask? Two secrets!
I do believe I knew about Odalwa's chants, but not the special smoke after the boss is defeated.
Wonderful video.
Thanks!
5:25-5:35 Also in the house in Kakariko where the man doesnt like people barging into his home, you find several drawings. If you look closely each one references a detail in the game
Cool stuff! I never saw that little puff shaped like Majora's Mask before.
So cool!
That Dino drawing, maybe Link has dreamt about the fight, like he dreamt of Ganondorf before and since he's a child he was like "eh looked cool, might as well draw it"
I noticed when fighting Demise in Skyward Sword HD, if you hit him with the Clawshot as he is charging at you he stops
"Be like Link. Don't steal."
TP and LA Link: **nervous sweating**
The British museum bit is hilarious
@@nebnub4965 yeah lol
Haha
The Majora’s Mask after boss defeat is neat!
Indeed!
It was a cool addition to the 3ds version. They weren't in the original N64 version
In Link's Awakening (the original & DX) if you hold the mushroom (the one that you'd normally use for magic powder) out you one shot the blob boss (forgot its name) in the color dungeon. It also defeats the first phase of the final boss the one where.
Cool!
That carving looks more like Godzilla than any of the bosses in the series to me.
Spikes, that's all im saying haha
"You're not the British Museum." 😄
Great line!
😅🤣
5:43 Correction, OoT Link is known to have prophetic dreams, similarly to Skyward Sword Link, as shown by OoT Link seeing Ganondorf's Introduction in his dreams, only to face the situation after getting the Spiritual Stones. It could be that the drawing was part of a prophetic dream Link had in the past, foreseeing his fight with King Dodongo, or maybe even a dream relating to a past Link's interactions with Dodongos.
In Ocarina of Time, if you shoot Bongo Bongo with Ice Arrows, there is a secret animation of him slapping his frozen hand with his free one to break the ice. Almost nobody has seen this but it exists in the game, there's youtube footage of it. Most players find out about this decades later when they have cheats on to get everything in their inventory, and are just messing around with the ice arrow. Nothing else in the entire game does that, and you can't replay bosses in the original, so it's extremely rare to see. The only legit way to see this is to get the items in the shadow temple but purposefully skip the boss, then also play the rest of the game enough until you unlock everything in the Gerudo ice arrow dungeon, then happen to go back and fight Bongo Bongo and think to use the ice arrows, which is even more absurdly unlikely for random casual players to do. Nobody knows why they bothered to do this.
Now knowing that Odolwa was shouting "head will ache and burn" makes that dancing man WAY more intimidating.
Also, I wanted to apologize for a comment I made on you Valentine's Day video. I don't know if you remember it, it was a while ago lol, but I just went back and saw it again and realized I was really rude, so I changed it. It was a while ago, I just felt the need to apologize for it
Yup, very intimidating!
I like this video! This was cool. Thanks!
I appreciate it, thanks!
ever since i first played majoras mask, the first boss battle always made me laugh. specifically at the part where hes calling the moths
i like to imagine that he's struggling from a rough divorce and resents the world, so he screams her name in agony while intending to kill link with the moths:
SHADONA!
SHADONA!
SHADONA!
SHADONA!
I saw you in the comments on QuinBoBin’s Minish cap video. Thought it was fun seeing you unexpectedly.
On a different note, this was a good video, very informative.
Thanks a lot!
personally I think the drawing of link fighting a dinosaur on the tree is just something him and saria carved into the tree when he was a child, I think it's suppose to be more of a world building thing about their friendship rather than a hint about Dodongo or Ganon
What about some of the bosses you can beat with an empty bottle?? ie the second boss in Wind Waker, or even Ganondorf from Ocarina of Time.
Pretty well known imo and I try to avoid those :)
The dinosaur drawing could also be one of Link's dream visions. The game does start with Link having a dream about confronting Ganondorf in front of Castle Town's gates after all.
Could be
Okay, that last secret was awesome. I never noticed that in my old play-throughs of the game. Does that image appear in the original, or only in the DS remake?
I wonder how Odolwa's audio was found. The original audio was never found, as far as I know, and I wonder if in whatever source it came from it had a translation of what the chant means, and the developers thought it would be cool, or if this was all just a huge coincidence
A little bit of nitpick, but I wonder why choose to show footage from the Majora's remake, where the boss fight is so disappointing compared to the original
Ok, everyone, let’s sing together.
Is this the real life?
Is this just Termina?
Caught in a Deku sprout,
No escape from the salesman.
Open your eyes, look up to the moon
And scream…
I’m just a fairy boy
I need to find Navi….
You beat me to it!
Love it!!
Full version pleeeasee
How did you get access to my lyrics!?
Actually, the drawing of King Dodongo might make sense. Link had a vision of Ganondorf at the start of the game. We don't know how long this was going on or how many visions he had, so it's possible Link saw himself fighting King Dodongo. A lot of kids draw their dreams, and I'd imagine fighting a fire breathing lizard would've been pretty memorable.
Was the Marora's Mask vapour when the bosses die in the original, though?
Just the remake
Great video as always! I think my favorite secret is the last (about the majora's mask design)
The first one's really cool too
Nice!
Also Monk Maz Koshia loving bananas, implying Yiga's obsession with that fruit comes form 10 000 years ago
True!
I always thought that Odolwa said (2 of the 3 phrases)
In the first one : get outta the way! Get outta the way! Get outta the way!
And the second one when he starts flipping and dispatching enemies:
You’re gonna die! You’re gonna die! You’re gonna die!
XD little touch of the Mondegreen I guess haha
The picture one Link’s house isn’t a reference to anything in the game but a reference to none other than the OG Big G himself, Godzilla.
The drawing on links house could be a time Paradoxon aswell because Zelda puts link back in time to relive his childhood so the drawing could be link against ganon maybe?
Your videos are soo amazing and I love watching them all !
The shade on the British Museum is chefs kiss
Link the only person to pull out a fishing rod or bug net to tease his opponents
Great vid bro love your vids and happy Halloween!
Thanks a lot!
These were really interesting, HG! I didn't know the one about Fyrus.
Unrelated, but Twilight Princess is the third Zelda game I played (back around middle school, WW->SS->TP (all three were played around the same time)), and it has some incredible music. The nostalgia might be intensifying it, but I think it's the Zelda game with my favorite music (with Wind Waker being tied or a close second, and SS a close third.) The funny thing is, out of those three, TP is the only one I haven't beaten (and because of two Pieces of Heart, I ain't gonna 100% it, lol.)
Thanks for watching!
First time I met Fyrus I was both tired and stressed that using my iron boots the thought never fell on me, beated him with shooting arrows only xD
I just remembered it after watching this vid
I definitely was one of the people who thought it was Ganon as a kid and now. I guess because King Dodongo never actually stands on two legs. I thought that perhaps Link, like Zelda, had dream/premonitions of things in his fate and interpreted the Ganon battle as a giant dinosaur. Being a 9 year old obsessed with dinosaurs when OoT came out it made sense to me 😅 Once I heard the Dodongo interpretation I could definitely see it, but the bipedal nature will always make me see Ganon. Great vid! Thanks for your hard work, happy Halloween!
Thanks for watching!
I've always assumed the drawing on Link's tree house was from one of his prophetic dreams, i.e he decided to draw the monster he saw in his dream. I'f he foresaw his interaction with Gannon outside Castletown then he very likely foresaw other battles and interactions in his dreams.
Interesting take
5:02 kikiri woods u say? Hmm 😂🙏🏼
4:06 when I enter the room I saw the flower understood what I needed to do and Finnish the battle without him attacking once
Your intro never gets old.
Thanks :)
@@HyruleGamer your welcome.
Happy Halloween from your favorite skull kid
:D
I love your videos!
Thank you!
Didn't know about that last one. Was it only featured in the 3DS version or both?
Yup 3DS only!
Not a mystery, but a particularly creepy moment was the first blood moon in BotW... when you don´t know whats happening, the music gets faster, everything turns red... damn, that scared me.
6:31 you forgot to mention that detail is only in the 3DS version, it’s a neat detail but man it’s sad how the boss fights in that version of the game were ruined
Finally we know what Bohemian Rhapsody was really about. "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?"
Haha
Love the intro btw
Thanks!
5:42
I always saw that as a reference to one of the bosses in zelda 1
3:48 The number one boss in the series that is insanely easy.
Mmmmmmmm
How is it that young Link can be next to the lava(or magma?) in that boss battle (2nd dungeon), but adult Link can't be in the Volcano in Death Mountain? I get that young link isnt completely in a volcano but there are still some spots that have lava/magma of some kind.
The carving in the tree is likely a reference to lizalfos.
love that intro!
Thanks!
The little clouds of Majora's Mask after killing its bosses was actually added in the 3DS version. They arn't in the original N64 version at all
The second secret was really funny to me, I also didn’t know it so thank you for Informing me about it
:D
What if link was having dreams of dodongo before he started his adventure 🤯
Possible!
That last one fkd my whole world up
Lol
Another banger 👍🏽
That drawing link did around his tree house most likely just his childhood fantasys only it became legit what he was going to do in real life I seen a few kids hade fantasys like that heck I was one of them now I'm all grown up knowing these fantasys I have are actually dangerous for a child to be in lol.
Very possible!
I have Never noticed the tiny ghost majora's mask 😱😱👌 wow
Super cool!
i wonder if the phantom majora's mask escaping from the defeated bosses inspired the malice escaping from the guardians you beat?
The Land Of Termina...
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Loved the vid
Thanks!
5:40 I say King Dodongo bcuz Ganon has tusks & the monster in the drawing doesnt
If you sheath you sword during a Girahim fight he starts slapping Link.
Is that last secret about the bosses a remake/ remaster exclusive secret? I dont remember ever seeing that on the n64
Yup 3DS only!
Is the Majora spirit visible in the n64 release or just the 3ds?
Welcome to my Country, hope we are not serving the clishees
Lol
@@HyruleGamer if im allowed to ask in which region you are/were?
Honestly, I don't think that drawing on Link's house represents anything specific. My interpretation has always been that he'd (figuratively) dreamed about going on adventures outside the forest, simple as. Of course then he quickly discovered that going on a quest isn't exactly a fairy tale.
Nice Queen reference in this video. Not sure if it was intended or not lol.
:)
You know you're a Twilight fan when you call the Goron boss battle (Fyrus) "incredibly awesome". 😅🥰
Lol
Does the Majora's Mask spirit happen in all versions or just the 3ds version?
Just the 3DS!
I know al these games.. i know a lot of these secrets,
The last one of M.M. really surprises me.
I guess it is replay time!
Wow you've gained alot of subs since the last time I watched
When did you last watch? 🙂
@@HyruleGamer I think back in August or July
@@HyruleGamer only reason I haven't watched you in a while was because n9jenof your vids have popped up
