Why Spending 24 Hours in VR Ocarina of Time was a Haunting Experience

- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a game that is engraved into my brain. I know this world... But do I know it in VR? Today, I embark on a quest to spend 24 hours in VR Ocarina of Time and document all my feelings and experiences. The world of Hyrule feels a lot bigger in first person, and the magic it has to offer is only amplified.

So something important to share about this experience: Recorded footage doesn't do it justice. It's like taking a photo of something amazing like the Grand Canyon vs actually being there. With recorded footage and photos, you lose out on so much depth. Worlds appear flattened. With the headset on, this was not the case at all.
You should try Luigi's Mansion VR.
SwankyBox do u havt that phone? iPhone 5* i feel bad for u bro love ur vids!
EDIT: why dont u try 24 hours in a horror game??? original idea 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Sounds cool
I really hope citra gets a vr branch someday so we can play the 3ds version of ocarina of time in vr.
Dang, kinda want to try this out! My favorite place to go would probably be the Forest Temple, the music is pretty calming to me, although seeing it in VR may change that feeling into spooky.
I'd love to experience 24 hours in Majora's Mask, but I'm pretty sure my heart wouldn't be able to handle the anxiety.
DPadGamer I love majoras mask but I don’t think I can handle that
Especially those nightmare fuel cutscenes and mask sequences
Easier said than done
No changes
Just looking up at terminas moon would be scary
Fighting Gyorg would be so pleasant..
Kokori: Hey Link, why are you sleeping on the roof?
Link: I didn't want to listen to music in my house all night.
As an audio engineer, I felt this
MOOD
Haha this one original.
I think after some time i would never enter my house again. Its like a torture
>Kokori
LMFAO
Childhood vibes sounds like:
daada daada daada DADADA! daada daada daada DADADA! daada daada daada dadaDADAAAAAAA!
imagine playing wind waker in vr and just sailing across the ocean listening to resonance by home.
Life on repeat - XXYYXX
baibinshee saivinshee then running into a big octo
@@thefiercedeity9669 or dozing off and waking up while your boat is spinning around a tornado.
I WOULD NEVER LEAVE VR BRO THAT JUST SOUNDS SO AWESOME
This would be a dream come true!!!
Shoutout to Kaze for all these mods. I know Nintendo isnt giving him much love right now, but man he deserves better for being a so talented.
It was also great listening to your experience Swanky.
For real, Nintendo should just hire Kaze for future VR projects.
@@freshrot420
They wouldn't even need to sell it mainstream, just create an attraction at Nintendo World where you experience it.
*IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME*
Jeez, reality must suck after experiencing that.
Quicksmith Genius I have a idiom I made for that. It’s called “taking off the headset.” It means to return to reality after being in some other paradise world. Whether that’s a LARP camp, or a video game, or just some form of escape, you eventually have to take off the headset and return to reality. Taking off the headset doesn’t diminish any of those experiences you just had, but it simply says that they are over. You experience taking off the headset usually whenever you return from a camping trip, or any trip, for that matter. Hopefully it makes sense enough for you to use it and pass it around.
@@Solrex_the_Sun_King That idiom works really well! Even not just for gaming, but generally. Thank you for telling me!
Quicksmith Genius thanks. I generally use it infrequently, but when I do, I explain it, since I made it up.
@@Solrex_the_Sun_King We gotta promote that idiom
@@Solrex_the_Sun_King Love that. That's how I would feel after an acid trip. It was always so beautiful and you'd have plenty of wonderful ideas for the happiness of the world. But as it's effects wear off, you start realizing the next day you have to go work, make money, pay your bills, and just get back to the droning of a work life. I always hated "removing the headset" coming from an lsd trip lmao
This was AMAZING, and for the first time in awhile actually made me excited for the future of VR because I have hope that some of our favorite games (like OoT) could actually be reworked for VR so it feels natural (rather than a hackjob, the game being built ground up for VR). Also you connecting the experience to feeling like a kid again was surreal, I have so many ancient memories of playing the game when I was like 7 and going back through VR feels like a timewarp. Basically, I'm shook (in a good way!)
*grabs popcorn*
This is gonna be good...
EDIT: Yeah this was awesome Swanky...GG for making it 24 hours!!
You have trolls to get to. Shoo, beardie!
oh hey its dgr
Dude it's 24 minutes, not hours.
Woah its dave
Nice joke DGR
This video made me feel really good for some reason. Whenever you said that the experience reminded you of being a child, being free from any responsabilities, just being free to sightsee and enjoy the world for what it is without being forced to do anything, I felt nostalgia. Amazing work, SwankyBox!
Kaze is a N64 genius, bless them
CanadasElite him
kaze is the GOAT
bless her

Y'all
imagine doing this to BOTW
I would love to see that
BOTW has a official VR mode
@@Aiden07_YT it's not true vr
I don’t think I’d be able to go back to the real world after that
Great - you would have gotten to Kakariko village maybe
22:36
"Hey, you. You're finally awake."
Skyrim lol
Imagine!
You take off the headset and you are in a wagon proceeding to your execution.
This probably feels like a fever dream of childhood memories.
I definitely related to when you said it was nice to not have anything to do in the back of your mind for the day. It really has been a long time since I've played a game and thought that
What was It like waking up and you’re in vr space? I know you slept poorly but surly it was weird opening your eyes to hyrule.
I was waiting for him to talk about it and was dissapointed
Ive woken up in VR (job simulator) its not a weird as you might think kinda nice actually.
@@johnboats9075 I would agree that it isn't weird
It's awesome to me
Here I was thinking someone dug up my old Kokiri Forest VR demo.
Sadly, the only other scene I ever released was Zeldas Courtyard, and that was only in early VRChat. I worked on Hyrule Field, Temple of Time, Kakariko Village and Chamber of Sages too, but never released them as there was sadly not much of a demand for them...
But yea. Those scenes I made were more about basking in the scenery. Trade off versus this method is losing content for higher, smoother quality of the visuals. This emu hack method seemed extremely nauseating compared to what I'm used to of those scenes.
Holy shit, you might be the guy who made my very first vr experience all those years ago. I remember kokiri forest, and saw you were working on the others on the oculus forums, but then you disappeared. Even now after all this time and so many games, explaining my experience seeing the great deku tree in vr for the first time is always the story I use to tell people why I love vr. Even if demand wasn't great, if you're the person I'm thinking of, you absolutely introduced me into one of my favourite hobbies and I'll never forget that experience.
Edit: just checked and yep it's you. In your oculus forums thread, I'm right at the top of the second page, "MrKaru". My first post was literally telling you that your demo was tempting me to buy a dev kit. I'm so happy that after all these years I can finally tell you how much I loved that demo.
It's very nice to hear you had a good memorable experience! I certainly understand the appeal. It was what I wanted to be my first VR experience as well.
I may have disappeared from the oculus forums, but I was still around reddit, VRChat and Skype groups for awhile. I just moved my focuses around, as sadly as I said, there wasn't much interest from people to continue working on what I called "Project: Ocarina". I still work with VR, but mainly with Unity Asset development. That old demo led to my interest in VR and Unity development, so its something I can look back on fondly! =)
Are you going to finish it?
Next up:
Spending 3 days in Majora's Mask vr
🤘🤘
Sonic UltraCollection oof
@The Very Edgy Yoshi I wish nintendo did this kind of stuff
@The Very Edgy Yoshi i liked the idea until i realized itd take 72 hours just to get the ocarina back
@The Very Edgy Yoshi i thought of that, which would make for a good challenge though not complete run. That doesnt however fix that you need multiple cycles for some sidequests. And the sidequests are debatably the lifeline of MM so either way a perfect run might take 6 days of real time
Next video: Why Spending 3 Days in VR Majora's Mask was a *Mistake!*
I would have thrown up all over the place with framerates this low.
HAHAHAHA
....
same
I couldnt even watch half the video. I am getting dizzy
lmao
I would have thrown up simply from turning requiring use of the joystick. That always makes me feel sick in VR, no matter the framerate. In every VR game I've played so far, I've stuck to turning with my real feet in order to not feel sick.
Properly calibrating your IPD in the headset will help immensely with long session eyestrain like you experienced in this video. Take this note from someone who's spent over 800 hours on VRChat, in this year alone.
Not to mention the bingewatching I do in Bigscreen
Yes! The one thing nobody talks about. I found out about it by simply being curious about it on my Quest. Turns out I have a perfect 65mm IPD. Haha But I know a lot of people have different very narrow or wider eyes, which can greatly affect comfort.
@@TayoEXE
TL:DR software IPD is bad and correctly set hardware IPD is god's work.
I've actually had two VR headsets, a Lenovo Explorer and a Samsung Oddysey+ (the one I have now), along with being able to demo a Rift S and free near-limitless access to an original vive at my old college.
As a result I have experience with both software and hardware IPD, on my IPD of somewhere between 64.9 and 65.2.
Software IPD seems to work for some people, and even though my eyes are well within the range of most software adjusting headsets, I can set it to my IPD, and it still gives me headaches as if it weren't calibrated; I forced myself to use my Explorer far more often before I got rid of it, and the headaches went away, but simultaneously my IRL vision got really messed up for a while. This is possibly because most software IPD headsets are manufactured with a hardware distance somewhere between 63 and 64mm, I think the Explorer is 63 and the Rift S is 64.
The Samsung O+ and Vive both have hardware adjustment, and I've had playsessions on the vive that lasted most of a school day, and sessions on my Oddysey+ that lasted well into 16 hours minus breaks with no hint of a headache or eyestrain.
The 6DoF VR platform really is amazing, even if you have an oculus Quest; even on that headset the possibilities and immersion are almost limitless, despite the weaker hardware over PCVR. 3DoF headsets aren't quite as nice, but still an okay entry point considering the Oculus Go can be paired with NOLOVR and VRidge for 6DoF down the line.
Even though it looked flat in the video, you’re description and what I could picture it looking like made me actually almost cry it was beautiful. I was introduced to Zelda through this game so watching this was amazing. Thank you Swanky
Digital Playground perfectly describes how I felt playing games like this!
I would love to play a version of OoT made for VR from the ground up. That would be wonderful.
I want to say it could be possible, but just not entirely sure how. I'm playing Half Life VR for the first time on Oculus Quest, and it's haunting to me. It may be an older game but dang it's freaky in VR. Monsters coming for me, never sure what's behind you, etc.
@@TayoEXE A roommate had a horror VR game. I didn't like it because the zombies come from everywhere! A normal adventure like Zelda would be really fun though.
Me too dude :)
I’ve had dreams of walking through Zora’s Domain in real life. I’m so envious you got to experience that 😱😍
i wanna wake up in vr lol

I feel like this has a lot of potential for improvement and Kaze could be the one to do it. Imagine he gets it fixed to the point of motion control
Of all the Zelda games that have potential for Motion Control, I'd say it would be Breath of the Wild. It's possible to do something like this actually. Half life got a Quest VR update from modders, and I've been playing with motion controls in 6DoF. They managed to get the Oculus SDK working with the Android version of the game.
Ninty doesn't like that
@luichinplaystation610 oh, I call it that to!
Imagine fighting that one really creepy, long limbed mini boss from the shadow temple in vr
Oh Dead Hand?
*NOPE*
Imagine playing Skyward sword,flying high in the sky in Vr
When I was a little kid I legit was scared of the stalchildren
I could've sworn they had laser eyes..
Namii chan -I remember having to have my dad do the shadow temple for me when I was little and hiding behind his chair when he fought the Boss - terrifying lol lil me was a pussy looking back at that precious moment now haha not much has change still a pussy but no dad to hide behind anymore rip😑
Jesse Harris I had to pause at some parts but I did it all on my own
@@jesselee1031 damn I wish I had my dad play for me that's actually smart strats
I just ended up not playing the game for like 5 years until I thought to myself “why was I scared of the temple… I need to play through and see this”
What other people see: spending 24 hours in Ocarina of Time VR
what I see: ...
*_Ocarina of Time Isekai_*
I really wanna do something like this, even if it ain't Ocarina of Time, but I can't really afford a headset
This is on my bucket list before I die for sure.
I feel like I’d have a similar reaction coming out that I do when I finish watching an old black and white movie. “Wow! Reality is so high definition!”
Lmao same.
James! 🌹
This is beautiful you can see it in his eyes when he takes the headset off, those are the eyes of a man who just re experienced ocarina of time as a kid.
And maybe a bit of eye fatigue but beautiful none the less. One of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time, I’m subbin baby.
"And honestly, I can think of no complete world that immediately grabbed my attention the way that Ocarina of Time did." -SwankyBox
Yup.
Imagine being able to do that on the 3ds version
Sean C That would be amazing!
On acid
@@roninlviaquez on your mom
@@Absolutely_puck_fakestine You're profile picture makes that comment so much better
Sean C Could happen soon through Citra
I want to play a virtual reality version of Thief: The Dark Project
The haunted cathedral would be far more terrifying...
I remember that game haha.
I'd pick Theif II, but yeah, that would be intense. Possibly too intense. Not sure how I would deal with seeing a random Mechanist bot spot you and start attacking.
this was actually so interesting! amazing idea. i hope someday ocarina looks even better than the 3Ds version and a fully from-the-groundup VR designed version comes out for people to experience what you did, an even more immersive way
Wow, this was a fantastic watch. It must have been one incredible experience to truly relive a part of your childhood in this crazy way.
imagine if nintendo made a official vr headset like valve with similar capabilities of switch and we got an official updated visual of oot through twighlight princess. next you gotta try the witcher 3 tho
I think it will happen at some point. Might take a few console gens though.
They tried doing that
Just imagine how hard it is to make a game from the Nintendo 64 to computer, and then putting the game into a VR headset from the computer. That is crazy.
Who else is completely jealous of this guy right now? Like is there a way that we could download this version or something?
What’s an emulator?
A program designed to simulate a system. That’s how people play old games on PC
It runs off Roms
This makes me want a legit vr ocarina of time.
This video makes me want to tear up a bit, not because how much nostalgias the game brings, but it restores the feeling of being a carefree child that run around in the wild. It's an idyllic feel I rarely experience as an urban kid.
Just saw this and I have to say man, wow. I mean just the tone of your voice as you are talking about this game is very romantic and passionate. Not just this video though, all the ones you made about The Ocarina of Time. It's heart breaking for me because, at one point, I thought I was one of the biggest fans of this legend but, I have been put in my place. It's not a bad thing however. It's as if I'm reliving the same experience I had when I first played it but through the eyes of someone else, literally enjoying every single aspect of this game. It almost feels like when I first introduced this game to my 5yo nephew. The excitement he got when he faced Queen Gohma for the first time made me smile wide and remembered that it was my exact feeling when I first fought her. It's that feeling of nostalgia that I get from watching these videos. Thank you :) and stay safe out there man.
Literally living the dream. Inspiring nice
This sounds like...just as you stated...an experience. I'm sure it was an adjustment by the looks of it but if you can get past forcing an older game into a VR platform (especially with controls and odd camera movement) I could only image how amazing it must've been to capture the precious moments of this title that personally.
Furthermore the fact that you were almost trapped in the world of Ocarina of Time, needing to find a place to sleep, working out on Death Mountain, etc....it just seems magical
@@hylianlad I think that's the feeling SAO originally tried to go for. Imagine the immersion, isolation, and wonder of being trapped in a virtual world for 2 years.
I did this before. Back in the good ol' year of 2000 I put my TV, N64, and a beanbag in my closet and I locked myself away for 24 hours with headphones and a box over the TV that wrapped around my head so all I could see and hear was the majestic world of Ocarina of Time. Started playing at night and when I finally emerged from my contraption and looked out a window, it was already nighttime of the next day. Hey... it was the closest to full immersion I could get back then
I'm waiting for a GoldenEye VR mod. Could go live in the bathroom in Facility for 24 hours.
At least you'll have a place to go to the bathroom, if you need to.
Live ya know IN THE BATHROOM lol had to do a NintendoCapriSun reference here.
The future of gaming isn't streaming. It has no right or purpose being the future.
VR is.
The Legend of Zelda: Link?
Nah, streaming will always be around, vicarious enjoyment is not a force to underestimate.
@@MrChocolateDinosaur I think he meant cloud gaming like Stadia
How did you go to the bathroom?
Piss jugs. like a trucker lol
He pissed off the waterfall in Zora's domain.
And how did he see the time on his phone when he never took off the head set...
Rai Sie 😲
Rai Sie Siri?
I love this kind of experience. I started playing The Talos Principle and making puzzles but I saw a nice beach area and I just couldn't resist sitting down and putting my hand on the sand. It feels good even though it's fake.
They remade this game in 3d, I know for a fact that can run in vr smoothly. Its phenomenal beyond belief how well playing 3rd person games works in VR. Unbelievably good.
imagine doing this on acid lol
was looking for this comment 😂 this would be the ultimate experience
This game is so wonderful, everyone has their cozy little secret hiding spots. sequel too. You just wanna... live there.
This VR setup looks pretty unsuited for the game and could be made better
hearing the excitement in your voice throughout the video is glorious, these are the kind of things we could only dream about as children, yet technology brings it closer and closer each day.
Your video makes me want to rush out and buy a vr headset, despite knowing i am very prone to motion sickness and would not have a similar experience, the idea of just being able to live in a fantasy world, even if only for a few minutes, sounds amazing.
Added onto that. i could not help but be afraid when you were on death mountains highest peak for a workout. i would have freaked out due to the hieght (heck, i had to look away from the video just to not panic.)
This makes me want to see a full VR remaster of Ocarina of Time. That would be so cool.
Twilight princess music at the end made me think what would be for me playing the zelda game of my childhood in vr. It wold defeinitely be an experience.
Skyward sword with an emulated nunchuk will be lots of fun.
I love how much you appreciate the pleasantness of the game, it's so nice :)
Man, the that idea of playing your favorite game as a kid vs now is really felt. I have memories of playing twilight princess in my room a decade ago vs now and the feeling definitely isn’t the same. That’s not for the worse though, because remembering those times is what makes the game so incredibly special to me.
Playing through a game in VR? Sounds like an awesome and familiar idea. By the way, I finished my set up guide for Luigi's Mansion VR if you are still interested in that.
I've seen a 24 hours in Super Mario 64 and now Ocarina of Time.
Now just Banjo-Kazooie left. And Tooie.
@Random Person Or both
hey swanks, that was very touching, the remarks you made throughout the video were so spot on to how powerfully nostalgic and magical that game is. well done sir!
Of course that would be a haunting experience, any game with old graphics would be a haunting experience.
Don’t even start with the Golden Skulltula....
Exactly. That's how I got motion sickness - by playing a game in *ego perspective* - Unreal 1, after all these years when Playstation 3 was out and I had played with graphics like Crysis.
I’d be more worried about seeing the cursed Skulltula family up close.
Try ET
Swanky, i can't imagine being pleased about fighting the Dead Hand.
Nathaniel did super Mario 64 Vr, swanky Box did ocarina of time vr, now we need antdude do banjo Kazooie VR for 24 hours
Props to you that you even did this, man. What an experience. Keep experiencing things and enjoying life even in game worlds. God bless yours and you! :)
have you modified fov settings somehow? I think everything looks pretty "zoomed" with the defaults.
detailed explanations on how to set this up would be great!
At least you didn't spend 24 hours in a worse VR Zelda, like the *_CDI Games_*
*_-twilight princess, majora's mask-_*
@@marcusmccloud6907 oh no you didn't
At least the music will be nice, unless it's Zelda's adventure of course.
[Approaching hour 21] Gee, it sure is boring around here!
@@marcusmccloud6907 Dont ever disrespect tp and mm
Im cry over this video, I just got an oculus go and I have the potential to do what you did and it's almost bringing me to tears that such a nostalgic thing is in my reach, something I have thought about since childhood.
this actually made me cry at the end knowing it's over and he had to take the vr off knowing how sweet and nostalgic the game is. it made me so happy seeing him be able to just be a kid and have fun without a care in the world and seeing it end to go back to an adult life is saddening
Sounds like the mod needs a bit more tweaking, I hope someone upgrades it further
Imagine a vibe check while you are a day into the vibe
link: sleeps on mido's house
mido: wait WHAT THE?!
I’m so glad you exist to do these things for us. Just watching this is giving me a freakin’ headache
Working out on Death Mountain?
That makes me wonder… has there ever been a bodybuilder goron character?
The Three Goron Brothers of BotW (Bayge, Heehl, and Kabetta) are supposedly dedicated to working out and getting super ripped... but you realize soon enough that they are lazy af :V
@@angelsmile6942 As a super lazy bodybuilder, I can't hate on em. The gain train's gotta slow down sometimes
That sounds like a side project in OoT: Master Quest.
lol
That was an incredible adventure, thank you for that.
Excellent man. Great job I love this game and the idea of living in the world for 24 hours. Thank you for making this.
I would like vr metroid prime :D
Me:sees redead coming near him
Also me:gets scared
You're an absolute madman and I love it.
Awesome job on this man. I was expecting this to be much cornier.. you proved me wrong. Actually looks beautiful. I hope someday someone can improve the FOV and let people enjoy their childhood gaming environments some more. Great idea!
then he was turned into link & he never came back
Omg that would be so trippy and really scary in places I’ll be checking for browse stains every time the Skeleton things pops out the ground or the boss what jumpThrough the pictures as a kid that boss scary the Life out of me I used to get my order cousin to do the boss for me at that point.
this video really touched me, it probably is because I'm having a tough couple of days, but it also transported me back to my childhood, OoT was a very important game to me and I just got flodded of memories I didn't know I had
I think I'd like to do this with one of the original Spyro games, especially 2.
Imagine being in Summer Forest or Autumn Plains, listening to that soothing, dreamy music, with the sound of babbling water or breeze accompanying it, all while surrounded by the beautiful environment.
Imagine spending 24 hours inside elder scrolls 3 moorwind
Oh, dude!
The scenery, ambient sounds and music!
I feel more for Morrowind and Oblivion than I do for Skyrim :P
5:17 imagine seeing this when you were a child
Trueblade -I mean as a child and the game being new it was terrifying without VR ( rip shadow temple that shit was scary) if the graphics were better and you actually felt like you are in the game they would have to give it a higher rating to keep kids from playing it and having nightmares and stuff
@@jesselee1031 Same.
My first ever nightmare was of this boss
“Working out on the summit of Death Mountain” is one of those things where I didn’t know how badly I needed to do it until I learned it was possible.
I appreciated this more than I thought I would, nice video
Hey, at least it wasn't Majora's Mask where the moon literally kills everyone....
Ocarina is far scarier.
Can we take a moment to appreciate Kaze? The man's a god damn genius and the work he puts into n64 games is incredible.
I've always wanted to play a Zelda game where Link has to fire tracers out of his slingshot and bow, this was awesome Swanky!
This is Amazing I remember when I 1st played Ocarina of Time and enjoying the Open Country Side but seeing it in VR is totally Different now!
Imagine playing the unreal engine version of Ocarina of Time, that would be neat
Breath of the wild would be awesome
There's a mod for that.
Imagine playing this in VR in 1998, awesome!!
Great video man!! I watched allll the way through just for you
Why do all youtubers want to suffer with vr+nintendo 64.
