Seeing a lot of folks saying we called Malon "Marin" (the similar character from Link's Awakening), but this isn't the case. We were quoting the developers when refering to Malon, and the character's Japanese name is Maron. You can see this if you watch the video with captions enabled. We should probably have put a note on screen though.
As for calling Lon Lon Ranch "Romani Ranch" in the intro, that was just a dumb mistake and it's a shame we let it slip by.
Lol I actually didn't notice these until i read the comment
Why not call Waluigi "Waruiji" then? XD IDK, I think you should've just gone for Malon for simplicity's sake.
I KNOW it's called lon lon ranch, I've known since I was 10 years old! But when you said romani ranch I just kind of accepted it lol 🤷.
I am Japanese and this doesn’t make sense… In Japanese, Maron and Malon are the same. There is no need to make a complicated explanation for a simple mistake! Anyway, I really enjoyed the video! I learned many new things. Thank you!
You guys have a stellar reputation for original content and accuracy! I did notice and immediately checked the comments. I've played Ocarina of Time for hundreds of hours and still doubted myself over that lol. Perfection is not expected, love the video, love the channel!
Miyamoto's response to his staff telling him that the ranch guys were just Mario and Luigi was hilarious.
i laughed at loud upon hearing it!
lol. epic shiggy.
"Well whatever, just roll with it" feels like a very Miyamoto thing he'd say when he gets called out on something like this... and yet, I'd also expect him to call out others whenever he catches them recycling Mario/Luigi on other things like a hypocrite :P
True gamers already knew all this. Congrats on your first deep dive. 👍
@@ARTPLAYSGAMES86 You are tired. 2023 and we still got these elitists. This ain't 2005.
Kaepora Gaebora originally having a split personality makes so much sense, given how he spins his head around during his idle animation to reveal a second face.
Admittedly the second face wasn't very obvious to me as a kid, until I saw its depiction in the official manga... in which a light lit up in my head realizing what he was trying to do in-game.
@@SorcererLance It's practically a trope at this point. Those of you who played _Okami_ will know of a character known as Onigiri-sensei that did the head spin into a different personality. Even Rare (then known as Rareware) pulled this trope in _Conker's Bad Fur Day_ with the angry deaf cog with a cigar in his mouth spinning into a nicer but foppy persona smoking a cigarette in a holder. Their names are Carl (the former) and Quentin (the latter)
@@JamesDavy2009 yep, just the low-res textures and low-poly model of the owl wasn't exactly obvious at first glance in a blind playthrough as a kid, the other examples you gave were much more obvious due to better character models showcasing that trope more clearly
Pokemon Snap having the original VA for Oak is probably a huge reason why its so nostalgic for a lot of people. It felt like an extension, or an episode of the show!
Exactly! To this day my brothers and I still says "You were close!" in our best Professor Oak impressions whenever someone does something slightly incorrectly.
@@qwartktsI came for this comment, my brother and I do the same thing lmao
@qwartkts similarly, I played so much FZero-X in university, my friend for years would do an impression of "You're going the wrong way!" when we were out cycling.
💯
"Welcome back!" never failed to make me smile.
Few things fascinate me more than Ocarina of Time's development. That game was crazy ambitious for its time.
...i still wish we got the og vision with DD buffs. sigh. it just looked more interesting. also i like the beta link look lol. idk why ppl hate him.
People nowadays don't understand how massive this game was at the time. It's like developing the equivalent of TotK without having BotW as a reference. And a very limited experience regarding 3D videogames because it was relatively new at the time.
And a lot of the game's mechanics are an integral part of gaming today. Z targeting, still background to create a 2.5 D space, dynamic combat with sidehop and backflip, contextual camera angles to indicate progression with a unique sound cue associated... Videogames have been revolutionized with OoT
Amazing game
@@ssppeeaarrapparently there's a rom hack that is trying to do that, saw a trailer for it in the "F3" video for this year. OoT hacks tend to not happen sometimes, but they have decomped OoT so possible!
cool. i hope it gets complete n released... 😁@@Infindox
Hiring someone to translate Japanese was the best investment this channel could have made. Awesome video!
They use google translate
@@HistoryandReviews
You're not going to believe this, but that still counts.
This stuff is seriously the best content. I love these long forgotten interviews finally being translated.
true I didn't even know about that gaming
Truly one of the best content on youtube
Fr ong 💯
Didyouknowgaming inspires me.. My parents said if i get 40K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
@@namantherockstar no
I love this type of content. Feels so nostalgic, but not nostalgic like "I'm playing the same game I have played 1000 times since I was a kid". It's a different type of nostalgia, like we are actually learning and living the news about games from 20 years ago, reading magazines and feeling like the N64 is the most modern and cool thing in the world. I love that feeling
I really miss the wonder and excitement over the N64 and it's catalogue of games. I would scour so many old magazines for any info I could, being born in 97, when the GameCube was more new in my memorable part of my childhood (I was poor so I didn't get a GameCube til like 04)
It was such a great time, this video does indeed invite that feeling.
that's a great way to summarize DYKG's appeal - a look back into the past we didn't know. it's also genuinely excellent journalism, a rarity in the videogames space these days.
@@benamisai-kham5892I have that feeling towards all of the SNES, N64, PS1 GameCube, XBox, and PS2. It's pretty interesting what they were able to do despite the limitations.
@@miscellanonymous If only they recognized there were other topics BESIDES just Nintendo.
It's like talking to your parents about stuff that you vaguely remember happening, and didnt register as a kid, and they explain everything from an adult's point of view.
Hearing about Charles Martinet going off script as the characters makes me want a Mario anime with the video game voices even more.
Peperoncini
Waaa! Waaa!! BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP.
Peperoncini!!!
damn
Waluigi bring created to annoy the hell out of players is just as believable as the main explanation for creating him.
Didyouknowgaming inspires me.. My parents said if i get 40K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
That explains why Nintendo were surprised that Waluigi became a fan, favorite
Very believable
@@namantherockstarget a job
@@namantherockstar Your parents don't love you
I always knew Camelot was a quality studio, but man they really put their hearts into their work and it has always showed
the river being the 1st stage makes a lot of sense, since the intro cinematic of the game also takes place at the river which I always thought was odd but makes so much more sense now
dev team filming themself for reference for pokemon is basically every dev team. it's the most normal thing, but i'm guessing at the time it wasn't seen as common
It wasn't common at the time, and the fact is? sometimes it's dedicated actors doing the mocap. just thought you should know.
Nah this has been common practice for over a century at this point.
For example you can view parts of the original live action animation reference used on the 1938 version of Snow White.
I guess you could argue it was somewhat new for the games industry but even then you had games like Prince of Persia in 1989 and Mortal Combat in 1992 showcasing live action/rotoscoped animation reference well before Pokemon Snap released
What likely made it different (for them as developers) is acting like animals rather than watching a nature documentary or something. People are going to be a lot more awkward/embarrassed acting like an animal (and made up one at that) than a person.
Yeah everyone does this stuff for pose reference when drawing or animating and stuff
Now THIS is DidYouKnowGaming! I remember reading all the old facts on Facebook. Seeing these new facts are really interesting!
"But when you look at Mario characters, they're all hard to hate... That's why when the Gamecube came out, we stretched out Daisy's face to have the dimensions of E.T.'s face, and we gave her a smoker's rasp."
Hearing these interviews for the first time is just pure gold. Thank you DYKG
That last fact on Martinet was so wholesome! 😊
Even though the day counter from Ocarina of Time was never implemented into the final game, the Japanese version of Majora's Mask does have a counter in the file selection screen that tells how many times the player has played the Song of Time to rewind the clock to the Dawn of the First Day.
the game actually did implement the day counter though, the number of days passed is stored in your save file, it's just never displayed anywhere in the game.
For several years I kinda felt like my nostalgia was burning out for video games, because it felt like nostalgic gaming became too main stream. Was like hearing the same thing about nostalgic gaming for the 100th time or seeing the 100th playthrough.
DYKG however revitalizes my nostalgic feeling for classic video games however because you guys always go the extra step to find special information like actual dev commentary or dev processes that we would otherwise never have known. Feels extra special.
Benimaru Itoh is the king. Just when you thought you couldn't love him any more.
He also made the Super Metroid and StarFox 1 comics for Nintendo Power magazine. (Wish VIZ would rerelease those like they did Super Mario Adventures.)
"Let's start with a Miyamoto interview about Ocarina of Time from the 90s"
Instantly hooked
It's Lon Lon, not Romani. Romani Ranch was the name of its Terminian counterpart from the sequel, Majora's Mask.
Came here to say this, too.
love the developers starting out reluctantly doing animations then challenging each other and giving their all 😭😭
great video! But at 0:02 in the video, Lon Lon Ranch from Ocarina of Time is referred to as Romani Ranch from Majora's Mask!
He also refers to Malon as Marin at 4:25. A minor mistake but it definitely bothers me.
@@friestedt idk. a channel about facts making a mistake is not minor. it spreads misinformation, albeit unintentionally. ill give them a pass but they should at least make a pinned comment apologizing for the clerical errors
I literally never get tired of this stuff. Listening to retro game trivia whisks me away back to my childhood and reminds me of all the fun I've had playing video games from then until now. It also makes me want to really grow my retro collection until I start looking at the prices of collecting retro these days.
I seriously appreciate the work put in to find and translate stuff like this, it gives an even greater insight into what was going on in the companies that produced the games that gave many good childhood memories.
the levels of dedication and love that went into Pokemon Snap and Ocarina of Time are just crazy. We need more of that these days sadly.
_Ocarina_ was innovative as it was the cornerstone that future games of that franchise would be built upon (aside from future 2-D Zelda games).
@@JamesDavy2009It wasn't just the cornerstone of Zelda, it was the cornerstone of all adventure games made in the future and even some jrpgs too (particularly action jrpgs). It changed everything and people don't give it enough credit (which is saying something considering it's one of the most acclaimed games of all time). I don't think something like Elder Scrolls in its modern day format or Dark Souls could exist without the heavy lifting Ocarina set in place.
Calling the Deku Scrubs "Hobbit" makes sense, when the first Zelda games were written by Takashi Tezuka with inspiration from the Lord of the Rings books
I still find it hilarious that non-pokemon devs put more effort and thought into textures and animations than modern gamefreak, stadium and snap still look and move amazing
Theyre dated
@@HistoryandReviews still move better than Violet/Scarlett, Snap and Stadium even have reaction animations and special animations when they get knocked out
@@Arcademan09 Dragon Quest/Warrior Monsters has ALWAYS been superior to pokemon and even went fully 3D years before Pokemon did. Checkout Dragon Quest Joker 1
@@Arcademan09Dragon Quest/Warrior Monsters has always been superior
Did he seriously called miyamotto shiggy? XD I loled hard.
"Did you know Miyamoto was gonna have the Romani Ranch burnt to the ground?"
Miyamoto putting in a little request to Aonuma during BotW's development be like "I've waited 20 years for this".
I can't say I expected the Mario Golf and Tennis section to be my favorite portion of the video, but damn. It's awesome to hear how much the Takahashi brothers were into Tennis, they sound like a really interesting duo!
I think a Mario Bowling game could be a blast too. Wish it would happen for Switch.
@@dbloam Closest we got was _Wii Sports._
It's interesting how their perspective is how a lot of old heads feel about the NBA today. They prefer traditional ball more focused on skill and ball IQ over raw athleticism. The zoomers have a low attention span thanks to modern technology, and want to see high octane feats of athleticism to hold their attention. It's also largely why the WNBA doesn't draw any interest in America.
Now this is why this is the only true gaming trivia channel there is, always coming up with something never heard of before, kudos!
6:48 Love the "Note: we did not edit this" underneath the image lol
25:05 wishing you the best on your game, loving the commentary
It is just like Martinet to go crazy with his characters. You can tell he's really having fun when he goes completely off-script and starts making silly crap up for the characters to say. I have to wonder what all roles he just threw the script out on?
Probably most xD
I'd love to hear the entire recording session Charles Martinez did with them.
"Just stick to the script, Charles."
"Waaaaaahhh!!! Waaaaah!!.... *burp*""
I met Charles Martinet twice. Really nice guy and he's pretty funny as well.
Somthin to tell the lost media folk to try and find lol
"Lost rare Charles martinet Mario tennis raw audio, unused unheard voicelines"
@@CanadianDude You must have been star struck.
@@JamesDavy2009 I was a bit nervous.
Adding a split personality would add 6 months? Interesting
Maybe they meant to add all features they wanted
If played straight, I'm curious if it meant different quotes, words, and at random that'll vary across playthroughs and within the current one as well.
I'm guessing it meant it was more plot relevant rather then simple text, especially if you consider the cut light temple and the owl's connection to it but that is just speculation
Good video with a lot of great new info... but you got a couple names wrong, lol
In the intro, you call Lon-Lon Ranch "Romani Ranch" from MM instead, then you later say "Marin" from Link's Awakening instead of "Malon"
I was going to mention it if no one else did.
Just smashing Zeldas together, no one will notice.
Something tickles my funny bone about Camelot's thought process of "we'll make the game so good, Nintendo will ask us to put Mario in it!" and then Nintendo looking at it and saying, "hey, you should put Mario in this." Sometimes things pan out as simply as envisioned, I love it.
Also the part where they talk about tennis and how it used play and wanting to recreate that in Mario Tennis 64 was super interesting. Not much of a sports fan but I respect the hell out of the drive to create the game in video game format like how you love it to be played.
i really like the "new" DYKG that does novel research instead of reheating the same old facts like most people do
You guys kill it with your research, the passion is undeniable.
3:51 Shigeru Miyamoto was probably like " I created Mario and Luigi " quieting everyone in the room. I love interesting fact videos like this. Cool video. ^_^
Man learning even more ocarina cut stuff now I want to see yet another mod that tries to recreate this stuff. Showing Kakariko on fire during the lon lon ranch stuff reminds me how strange it is that the fire just stops like nothing happened. I wonder if it was ever more plot relevant too.
Also rip hug bed :(.
I'm thinking the lon lon ranch fire was reworked into that scene, and also a lot of these ideas were likely worked into other nintendo games so you've probably seen them at some point if you think about it
Oh, yeah. It's easy to see why there is so much excitement at the time and nowadays about Ura Zelda.
originally, you need the Song of Storms to put out the fire in Kakariko Village
Should’ve made Navi tuck Link in.
@@playcube4564 Reminds me of the part in Twilight Princess where you have to escape the burning buildings as Wolf Link and later again as human Link iirc.
Pokémon Snap was a favorite of mine. The amount of secrets it has is the one reason I loved it. Really good times.
And most of your shots getting a "You were close" result.
That Pokemon Snap section is ADORABLE. That cheetah print guy needs a hug from me, ❤
Hiroyuki: "What if we gave Wario and Waluigi girlfriends?"
Miyamoto: "D I S G U S T I N G"
I played Snap as a kid. Loved every second of it as a 10 year old. Love it still 19 years later.
Just picked up a copy at 26. My 6 year old loves it so much 😂😂
300 people likely already said this but its Lon Lon ranch in Oot. Romano ranch is in Majora's Mask. And then you called Malon Marin. Similar but not the same
I really hope you guys can keep producing this kind of content. It’s awesome to watch.
Waluigi being created to be annoying is so hilariously on brand for his character.
That last segment about Martinet hits different now that we know he's retiring...
I am still blown away by the fact that the same guy who voices Baby Mario also voiced Paarthunax in Skyrim. What a singular talent Charles Martinet is
I was today years old when I learned this.
I legit thought someone was trolling when they mentioned it in a Twitch chat, but was pleasantly surprised when I checked out the IMDB listing, lol @@willkriss1497
He also voiced Orvus in _Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time._
This Benimaru Itoh sounds like the best person ever! I would hang out with him after work, he sounds like fun!
Crazy thought.
Do you think there's a Japanese DYKG that covers crazy facts about western developed games.
I like the thought of the role reversal there!
“Are you aware? In Call of Duty there’s a character named “Soap McTavish”, but “soap” is also a name for a cleaning product used to wash your hands.”
@mrshmuga9 huh.... yeah that pretty much sums it up eh.
The fact that you take the time to translate Japanese magazines is such a fantastic development in your content. Great work
"Whatever, I do what I want" - Miyamoto. So badass 😆
I love the bit about Link escaping from a burning Lon Lon Ranch with a bunch of horses and carrying Malon under his arm, haha. That needs to be fanart.
It would be awesome if Nintendo remade OOT and added in the cut content they wanted to have but couldn't from hardware limitations. Same for Majors mask
*Ashura Benimaru Itoh* is now officially the reference model for the Great Fairies in Ocarina, and you can't convince me otherwise. I don't care if it was meant as a joke, I reject your reality and substitute my own.™
Really loved the Pokemon Snap info. How they did the Pokemon animations. I’d love to see that footage.
Search “Horton Hears A Who animation reference”. You’ll seen the animator act out his scenes for his own reference. Obviously it’s not the Pokémon Snap ones, but it’s the same sort of thing. Same with Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug.
0:03, no specially because I never heard about Romani Ranch appearing in Ocarina of Time.
I think it's one of those things they add to be able to see who's stealing their facts/research, though I wish they'd be more subtle with it
Or Malon being named Marin.
@@SilkSkinFantastic That too lmao
@@603840Jrg Sounds more like an excuse to not admit they lack proofreading before finishing a video.
@@Mari_Izu It could be both, iirc DYKG and Guru Larry had some issues with bigger channels (at the time) like WatchMojo taking their content verbatim so that's why they started doing this
the funny thing is: it took almost 2-3 years for OoT to be finally developed only for it to be so broken you can speedrun it in 3-4 minutes
I love Mario Tennis 64. The back and forth feels amazing. Whomever had the idea to give different swings specific colors, I salute you
Ocarina of Time really was the Dark Souls 2 of its day.
That Pokemon fact made my day.
I think pikachu is quite a cute little critter :)
This is amazing. I love all these games and it's surreal to step back in time for development history.
This is my favourite DYKG video now, love hearing new N64 facts
"We should make something so good that Nintendo would want to put Mario in it"
What a beautiful quote; knowing they actually fulfilled that goal just makes it ever so sweeter.
I like this. This clearly took time and shows passion and providing video game information and even if it took an extra month or two, I really like this kind of direction. Obviously it's easier to say that kind of thing since it's a popular franchise, but still
Incredible research and journalism, as usual. Thank you for sharing your passion for gaming with the world. Best wishes for your upcoming trivia game!
DYKG is doing so much video game history, tysm
That last bit just helps to prove the Mario franchise wouldn’t be where it is today without Charles Martinet. That man is a treasure.
Even how he landed the role has become a video game legend at this point from crashing an audition to his Robin Williams-esque improv take.
Excellent and well-researched video of some of my childhood favorites, might be my favorite DYKG video to date. Thank you!
4:18 - Well...at least we got Link swooping in to save Malon in the Ocarina of Time manga.
I friggin love Shigerus "Lean into the criticism" mentality.
Great video! Always appreciate the newly translated facts!
"Shiggy" Caught me off guard lol
That name conjured an image in my mind of Iggy Koopa with Miyamoto's face.
Thanks, everyone. I always enjoy learning more about game developers and the effort put into the games I love. This new info is very refreshing.
romani ranch isn't in ocarina of time
True!
The Ranch scene in Ocarina would had gone so hard tho
Interesting how Wapeach was recently leaked by her designer, she’s gotten a lot of attention of twitter!
i busted laughing on that great fairy fact. 10/10
That Mario Golf 64 portion was surprisingly inspiring.
The Romani Ranch was in Majora's Mask, it's The Lon Lon Ranch in Ocarina of Time.
These videos are honestly important for videogame history, thank you so much!
I know that the development went through multiple iterations, but the notion of development hell as the term is commonly understood seems almost alien to a masterpiece like Ocarina of Time.
I love these kinds of videos with all those facts... Thanks a ton for making them!
The best TH-cam channel for over a decade ❤
Thank you for sharing translated interviews, it’s all so fascinating to know the process to the games we love.
I somehow DID always know Waluigi was created to annoy players
Great content! This transports me back to the past and fascinates with the interesting facts.
"Ocarina was too branched out and hard to follow". Hold my beer.
Thanks for keeping our N64 / Retro Gaming Memories alive with Videos like these
"They're just Mario and Luigi."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Let me give him a Bowser necklace."
it's really interesting to think about the developers being tasked with speedrunning. ocarina of time was a game that i played over and over trying to beat it faster, it just felt natural. then discovering all of the interesting glitches provided a way to super speedrun lol. ocarina of time is so good
Every time the trivia about "Wario's girlfriend" gets dredged up, I only get sadder that it means nobody was likely talking to anybody from Nintendo SPD for their input. We could have had Captain Syrup as Wario's "partner" and a regular for other Mario spinoffs ages ago!
Now that you've put it into the world, I am extra sad that it never happened. Wonder what made Daisy okay but Syrup was off limits?... But then again, would it have meant sacrificing Waluigi, and would it be worth it?
Waluigi being made to be annoying is based.
based? based on what?? based on being annoying. haha. just a bit of comedy to lighten the mood
@@Moniak Wow! Are you the *real* Waluigi?
bAsEd
@@HalfMoonProphet Yep that's me Waluigi here! Wah!
@@Moniakwe like to have fun around here
SUCH a tragedy we’ll never get to know what Wario’s girlfriend looks like
I always watch and love every minute of it! Takes me right back to the day I got my 64 on launch and the games that came with it and after!
