As an oldie that grew up with these golden NES carts, it’s nice to see younger folks enjoying them! Zelda 2 crushed many a child’s dreams 🤣
My father loved these games so there was a friendly competition on both LoZ, AoL and ALttP( my favorite of the three) 😋 I absolutely agree, Zelda 2 made me learn a lot of curse words from him 😂
Zelda 2 was easier for me to figure out than Zelda 1.
@@Bashfulday Geez I remember not knowing how in the world to get the hammer. If you didn't know someone who knew what they were doing, or have the Nintendo Power magazine, it was pure trial and Error!
To this day I still despise Zelda 2
@@totalimmortal88 A villager literally tells you it's in Spectacle Rock.
7:08 That's my favorite easter egg, the entire area from the first game (lower hyrule) is all tucked away below death mountain there. Gives the world a whole new perspective when you realize how much ground link is covering when he walks from place to place.
This is very true! Look at the graveyards for example, the one in AoL must be massive!!
lol i never saw it like that that’s extremely cool and now my favorite Easter egg too!
Yes in the manual it explains that the overworld map icons are just symbolic and what is actually there is what you see when they cut to the horizontal view. This implies the world is huge. So for example when you see an icon of an enemy on the overworld map, it symbolizes a whole horde of them moving around. And when you think about it, the overworld map shows just a few tiles beyond where many cave openings are located, but the caves often have several horizontal screens to them when you enter.
I’m 38 now and I’ve played this game since before I could really even play it. It’s nice to see people in a new generation enjoy these classics. I’ve introduced them to my own young children and I hope they will love them overtime too
I'm 14 and never beat the 3rd dungeon.
@@m9henri give it another try, wait till the last boss of the last dungeon. The thunderbird is actually awful, but there is a hidden boss after this boss… that last battle is making you work for that friforce let me tell you!
@@Bashfulday I meant Zelda 1. In Zelda 2, I didn't even get to the 1st dungeon. 😅
"[...] since before I could really even play it."
I almost forget about these times... back when I could barely make it to Piston Honda 1 at the SEARS NES multicade... My dad worked for SEARS in the service center, and he taught me about the DIP switches so I could play for more than 2 minutes at a time lol
Funny thing about the town named Mido in Adventure of Link and the name not corresponding to a sage in Ocarina of Time, in the version of Ocarina of Time that was shown at Spaceworld, the medallions were called the Sage's Seals (the Fire Medaillion was called Darunia's Seal for example). The item that would go on to be called the Shadow Medallion was called Mido's Seal.
That’s actually really cool, I didn’t know that!!
Kasuto is also named for a Sage but said Sage has not appeared yet as of Tears Of The Kingdom.
That's terrifying. Mido already was a butt head but being related to the shadow temple is wild
@@SECONDQUEST In that build of the game the Sage's Seals also had item equivalents called Medals, with names corresponding to their element, and in turn the element of the dungeon and Sage they were from. The item equivalent of Darunia's Seal was the Fire Medal, Saria's Seal was the Wind Medal, Ruto's Seal was the Ice Medal, and so on. They were used to cast magic like the medallions from A Link to the Past on their own, but they also had a secondary function where equipping them to the c-button that already had the bow on it would combine the two to create various elemental arrows.
I've always assumed the 'x awakens as a sage and adds their power to yours' was an artifact of this build, especially considering it isn't the only instance of in-game text I can think of that would fit more with that build than what we got. In the cutscene where you get the Light Medallion, Raura says 'when the power of all the Sages is awakened, the Sages' Seals will contain all the evil power in the void of the realm'. Anyway, the main reason I brought up the Medals is that the item equivalent of Mido's Seal was called the Dark Medal. So the dungeon he was associated with was probably going to be called the Dark Temple of the Temple of Darkness.
In Z1, gettting hit by a white bubble (temporary loss of sword use) is on an internal timer. If you get hit, and blow the flute, that'll be enough time to use your sword again. Basically a pause to let you sword come back.
The original game’s level one locked door thing is actually a glitch. The way the game knows to keep an unlocked door open is if you went through it, or in other words, which side of the screen you walked off. Because you walked off the bottom of the screen to leave the level, when you load back into the level, the game says, “hey, you walked off the bottom side, so the top door should be open”
I didn’t know that was considered a glitch! I guess just call me a hacker😂… seriously tho that’s really cool the code reads like that tbh! I wonder if this works with any other rooms in the game 🤔😋
@@Bashfulday I play the randomizer of Z1 pretty consistently, and you abuse this glitch constantly. If you enter a level, and there's a bomb wall, if you exit the level, go in and out of the side the bomb wall is, and enter the level, the bomb wall will be open without using a bomb. Not very useful for base game, but a neat feature.
@@ugondisnesruns9436 Kanana-key!!
This is actually really cool, there is no set up besides going in and out of the level? Might add this into the long video!
@@Bashfulday If the locked door/bomb wall is on the top, then leaving and coming back in will trigger it to open. If door/bomb wall is say, on the right of entering the level, you must leave level, AND leave the next screen in the direction of the door/wall, then come right back and into the level. No real use in vanilla other then level 1, but super useful in the randomizer.
Wow, after all these years I had no idea about the manual save in Zelda 1. My mind is blown.
Awesome video!
Ironically, you'd have known that if you'd read the manual. Page 15.
Good video! One correction for you. The grave heart container in 2nd quest Zelda 1 doesn't require the power bracelet. You can push it at any time.
Also, you should do a similar style video for the exploitable glitches in these 2 games. A lot of people are just learning about block clipping, screen scrolls, fairy clipping, etc. I think it would be a good introductory style of video for a lot of the people getting familiar with seeing or using the glitches.
I love seeing people NOT in their 40's and 50's getting in to the NES era! Lol
I didn’t know that, I thought you did need the power bracelet! PEOPLE DONT KNOW ABOUT THOSE!? I can definitely do a video on them! I like the NES because of my dad but I’m only 24😋
@@Bashfulday neither of the pushable graves need it (1st or 2nd quest). Love to see the younger people taking an appreciation in the classics!
And in the 2nd quest, if a bubble takes away your sword permanently, you don't need a bubble with that other color, you can but you don't need to. Because you can leave for the overworld and go to any fairy that will give you the sword attack back. I'm 99% sure that I remember it right. What's best depends on where you are in a dungeon and how close it is to a fairy.
Another important thing is the fluit. It's never random which dungeon it brings you to. It depends on how many times you blow the whistle and which direction. Plus which dungeon you visited the latest. Something like that. So my advive is to practice this. Point down and blow the whistle and repeat it after every warp. Then do it when Link is pointing up. Also same thing when pointting left or right. Practice this is the best way to learn it.
Next important thing is that "the 10th enemy got a bomb", this is a fact in Level 8 in 1st Quest. So kill 9 enemies with the sword (maybe boomerang and other weapons will work as well) and then kill the 10th enemy with a bomb and you will force a bomb drop. Important is that you cannot take any damage while doing this. When you take damage the "kill counter" will get reset. And then you need to start over. It's useful!
In Zelda 2, there's a very useful tip in the overworld, especially when you're walking to the great palace. There's some mandatory encounters that you can skip with some easier versions if you walk into the overworld enemies/fairies at the same spot as the mandatory encounter, with a good enough timing.
In Zelda 2 there's also something about every 6th or 8th enemy that will drop magic. Or 10th. Hard to remember. Useful in some areas in some palaces. I'm pretty sure about this.
For beginners in Zelda 2, before entering palace 1 you can walk down instead on that desert and leave that and walk down more, and pick up a heart container. Then walk up to palace 1 with more life. This is really good!
@@cjeelde These are actually super helpful, I'll add them in to the final video combining all the games secrets! Thank you so much for your additions!! 💕
@@Bashfulday hope you can play the games and verify what I wrote 🥰
Nice video! One thing that might be worth a mention is, in Zelda 2, if you jump above the screen (using the Jump spell while on a high roof or something), and cast Fairy while you're off screen, it makes the game freak out. You end up in weird towns, or pallette-swapped dungeons, and leaving takes you to random places. Once back in the day, I left a glitched town and emerged way off in the ocean somewhere.
I didn’t know this! I’ll try it out and put the results in the final video! Thanks for the addition!! 💕
@@Bashfulday Indeed, this trick is most easily done in any of the Palaces that have falling block rooms. You'd have to have the Handy Glove item from the swamp palace in order to "dig" a way to the top. In the town of Darunia, you can use the Jump spell and use the Fairy spell while on top of the tallest building in town. However, this has some weird side effects if you're not careful. One is getting soft-locked out in the ocean sometimes. Another is that you can accidentally turn palaces that you haven't been to yet into rock... which can end up forever locking you out of The Great Palace at the end of the game, or prevent you from collecting all the necessary items that will be needed to get there.
@@bardinblue9830 this is so cool!! I’ll definitely try it out, I’m not really worried about soft locking my self but I will tell in the video to be careful with the side effects you listed! Thank you so much!!💕
@@bardinblue9830 Same thing happened to me, ending up in the middle of the ocean. I think a certain way you can get altered npc text this way too somehow?
6:40 it's Mr. X's laugh from kung fu also.❤
This is facts! I didn’t learn this till after I posted this video but this is absolutely true! 💕
One of the heart containers in the second quest is in the level 4 after you beat the boss, the room with the triforce walk through the false wall to the north
I FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE, good save! I’ll add it to the combination video of all of them together! 💕
@@Bashfulday I just watched a video on the second quest and I guess I was wrong about that heart container cuz apparently it's the raft not a heart container in the dungeon above the triforce room
@@alexblack3200 Thank you for the update! I haven't had time to try it myself haha!
@@Bashfulday yeah I knew there was something there but it's been years since I played that and I was under the impression it was a heart container but I remember now it was the raft, the second item you get in that dungeon
I played these games in the 80s, and beat them both. I bet they're much easier with save states.
I've tried many times to beat these games, and they kick my ass every time. 😂 Especially Zelda II... Unfortunately, I just don't have the time or patience nowadays to really give them a good shot.
You could always save in the original games
@@wheeze_sanchez I'm 42 now, a working man. I don't have all day to hang out, playing video games. These games probably wouldn't be enjoyable without save states.
@@MGTOWGuy you might not have saved when you were younger, but you could have. Zelda was the first game with such a feature. Give yourself a little treat sometime soon. It won't mean you are forced to play the game for 5 hours
2 important things missed in this video: (1) Keep 1 enemy alive in each screen in the overworld. The others will never respawn. (2) The Pols Voice dies instantly with the arrow. One of the old wise men gives you this hint.
All add the 2 one to the final video and tweak the over world enemy respond I have in the video!
As someone who has been playing these games almost since the day they came out, I figured there was no way I was going to hear something I didn't know. Nicely done, you proved me wrong! 😁 I had not heard of talking to a fairy before you Up+A save to start with full health next time. Something else with the faries if you are going to recover more than about 4 hearts hit Select right as your hearts start to fill. The screen will pause but your hearts continue to refill. Once they refill the screen unpauses and as soon as the heart ring completes it disappears, letting you leave right away rather than standing there while the heart ring circles around you for a few seconds.
In AoL a number of map tiles have fights that are triggered when you step on them (i.e. the path to Darunia). These fights are typically more difficult than the fights from colliding with the roaming monsters. If you can time it so you step on the tile at the same time you collide with a monster you'll get the easier monster fight and bypass the "scripted" one.
Thanks for the entertaining video!! Looking forward to more!! 😄
I didn’t know the health hack in LoZ, I’ll have to try it out!! Also in AoL I didn’t know about the overdrive on those tiles! I’ll definitely add those into the end video!! Thanks for your additions!! 💕
Finally, someone that also knows stuff about the first Zelda
7:13 - WOW!!! I've been a fan of these two games since childhood, and am 45 now. I knew that Spectacle Rock was a corresponding location between the two games. Somehow, I always thought that in the second game, the entire area south of Death Mountain in which the first game took place had been flooded or something. It never really dawned on me that the tiny little area south of Death Mountain in the second game was actually a miniaturized version of the ENTIRE MAP of the first game!!!
Error changed his message when talking to another NPC at a different village then go back to Error.
Pols Voice in the style of Wind Waker's design made them look great. They look just like their classic Zelda one look instead of the bunny like look from Link's Awakening. lol
Cool to see the current youth enjoying retro games
I grew up with these 2 games back in the 80’s. Pure nostalgia❤❤❤❤❤
Kinda related, I learned by curiosity in Ocarina that when it's night time and you're on the yellow paths in hyrule field, enemies won't spawn like they did in Zelda 2. It was a neat discovery for me when i was young that they had that feature!
I didn’t know that in OoT! I will for sure put that in the Ocarina of Time secrets video!
Many actually do not know that Reflect spell blocks items Link cannot normally block. Many think it's just for reflecting the wizard attack.
Here's an actual legit secret for you in Legend of Zelda 1. Two screens left of Dungeon 3 in Quest 1, play the recorder. "Pay me for door repair" guy.
Those guys gave me such false hope everytime I found a secret door and it was a damn pay to fix door 😭😂
@@Bashfulday I played Zelda 1 SO MANY, many, many times in my youth. I memorized every little thing, including which holes were a money giver, and which holes were the others. *chuckles thinking of when he played for a friend of his*
I didn't learn anything new, but I'm glad to see younger folks playing these games still. I remember playing and beating Zelda back in the 80s, and the way we found secrets was literally burning every bush and bombing every wall. I never could beat the Adventure of Link and still haven't!
That's how my dad learn the secret locations and showed me... after of course making me try to find as many as I could as a child haha! Adventure of Link isn't my favorite by any means but if you can get past the level system and the side scroller POV its actually a pretty cool game!
Cool video! Something fun I used to do, was setting a bomb just before grabbing a Triforce piece, if you time it just right, the screen stays grayscale(black & white) for a little bit while the music plays and your health refills. the screen colors return to normal once it places you back in the overworld though. 🤓😉
I used to do this too sometimes, there is actually a lot of things you can do to piss the game off so it revokes the color from the game, especially with bosses! I’ll add this in the final combination video!! Thank you for your addition! 💕
Growing up, I loved Zelda I just as much as Zelda II. Still do.
The sound of getting into a fight in the overworld in Zelda 2 is also very similar to the sound of an enemy strong attack (usually an uppercut) in Punch-Out NES.
That’s funny, it fits it feels like I would rather be knocked out than fight with a pop up 😂 I didn’t put those together though, thanks for this addition! 💕
Hah, I knew about the Popinski laugh, but I never noticed that one.
There was actually one in there I didn't know! And Z1 was one of my very first NES games when it came out!
I didn't know about the heart maxout at a fairy fountain! Combine that with all the stuff you can pick up in the overworld before going to any dungeons, and you can be next-to-invincible in the early game!
Yesss! That’s my power move, usually I do the items first then go back to level 1 and start finishing dungeons, very very occasionally I’ll do the max hearts but it’s fun to basically walk through the game!
@@Bashfulday - Hmmm, I just tried it in-game from a fresh (second quest) file, and it didn't do what I expected. Does it grant max health containers or just function as a heal-save warp combo?
It should if done correctly grant your current heart containers full plus and a save, I did however one time get an extra heart or two from doing it like that. Maybe it’s a statistical thing, maybe it occasionally does give hearts?
Well its official that you can teach an old dog new tricks! I never knew about the hungry goriya disappearing with the save screen. 37 years later Mind blown 😳
How I loved these games... I still have the original NES to play them and I do play them from time to time. Even my kids played them! Thx for the video.
The Zelda 2 world map is, iirc, a horizontal flip of the state of Washington (inspired by Nintendo of America's headquarters being located in Redmond WA)
One secret of The Legend Of Zelda is that when they were making the game, it only used half of the memory that they expected, and that's when they decided to make the other quest, which was named The Second Quest, or for some of us, it was called The Master Quest.
This is absolutely correct! It was a built in DLC haha! 🤣
I'm amazed. You gathered up some things I've never heard of and I thought I knew it all. My favorite was saving at a fairy fountain for opening up the game with extra health.
Personally my favorite is going in the dungeon and taking all the items, it is just a gremlin thing I guess 😂😂
@@Bashfulday What I meant there was my favorite thing I learned from you today. That's just a cool thing to be able to startup maxed out. In the same context? Oh my favorite thing would be the same as yours. Raiding dungeons for the loot is a great feeling.
Did you ever get that feeling playing Diablo II? Perhaps in Fallout 3? Both of those games really nailed the feeling of loot hunting like few other games ever have.
I haven’t ever played either, but I would like to play some of other games besides Zelda on my streams and so similar videos on them along with Zelda/Nintendo content in general!
@@Bashfulday Well there's a summer sale on Steam right now, it's the right time to strike for purchasing games for your pc. I didn't think the ol clunker would run Fallout but to my surprise yesterday it did. Even if you're busy, it's always good to get games on the cheap for later.
Heh, I did mostly know these, but nice video.
I often wonder if the Error/Bug thing was also kind of a pun on the name Errol. Like you'd read it in katakana and go "Oh Errol? like Errol Flynn?" then you would see Bug and go "oh.. no. It was Error."
If you're taking video ideas, while I can't think of any specific secrets that mustn't be missed, I could see you maybe following up "Did it Survive" with something like "What's new?" which would cover the enemies that are new to each game, whether they ever came back again or were one-offs...
THATS A GREAT IDEA, I’ll definitely look into doing something like this! Thank you!! 🤩
The kana is エラー, which transliterates to "eraa", so there isn't a possibility of confusing l/r at the end
@@wheeze_sanchez Ohhh I assumed it was エロル or possibly エーロル Like you hit those loanwords every so often where the rules go out the window, because of the language roots. In that case no, that can't have been a pun..
@@KairuHakubi That's an understandable mistake.
If you don’t mind me geeking out on language a bit, read on. I’m going to guess by your error, which is a familiar one for me, that you must come from a place that uses rhotic Rs (think: pirate r). It's different now, but the Japanese language was more influenced by British English (non-rhotic) early on, rather than gloriously rhoticized American English. Think of how a Brit is likely to say "error", and you can see where the Japanese are getting that pronunciation. Also, you already know about the Japanese flap R that can create difficulty, so it makes sense that the Japanese would prefer to clip that terminal R trouble when they have a good reason.
If, for some reason, you'd like to see me rattle on some more, ask me about 和製漢語, my absolute favorite category of Japanese, but definitely not English, words
@@wheeze_sanchez I'm aware that typical english words ending in the R sound are just aa in Nihongo, my point is that, of the words that break that rule, fancy and technical words like error kinda fit the bill. I guess. Actually I'm having trouble thinking of which types of words do that.
I did not, however, consider that it's because of the British influence. That makes a lot of sense, I know there are a few loanwords that are clearly from British English, though I forget which ones.
4:01 you can yell at the controller to make those go away? That's really funny 😂
Yess! It’s so funny 😂
@hawkfeather6802
The nintendo famicon controller had a microphone.
Famicom Microphone Games
Which games make use of Controller II's microphone?
Atlantis no Nazo (NES = Super Pitfall II) - get the microphone power-up and then yell into the microphone to freeze and kill most enemies.
Hikari Shinwa: Palutena no Kagami (NES = Kid Icarus) - talk into the microphone to bargain for lower shop prices.
Raid on Bungeling Bay (NES = Raid on Bungeling Bay) - ?
SD Kamen Rider -- in one of the mini games, blow air into the microphone to get a windmill to spin.
Takeshi no Chousenjou - featuring Takeshi Kitano who starred in Zatoichi, Battle Royale, Violent Cop, etc.) Kitano hates videogames and wanted this game to show its players how futile and pointless their hobby was. Amongst the challenges included in the game were a section where the player must hold a single button for up to an hour, a boss that takes over 1,000 punches to kill and of course the microphone section, where players are required to sing a verse of karaoke or talk whilst playing a pachislo minigame. The microphone section was replaced in later versions of the game once the microphone was dropped from the Famicom.
Zelda no Densetsu: The Hyrule Fantasy (cart/disk) (NES = The Legend of Zelda) - yell into the microphone to kill Pols Voice enemies.
Yeah you need the japanese Famicom for that. The 2nd controller got a mic. That's a huge difference between Famicom and NES.
Amazing video, looking forward to the rest of the series. In the Wind Waker episode you should talk about the tingle chests, they are hidden bonus chests in the dungeons. I recently found out they still exist in the HD version but with no indication of location.
I absolutely will do! 😋
You have a wonderful voice. I liked and subbed after hearing it with the thought your channels gonna take off and grow a lot.
Thank you so much!! 🥹💕
@@Bashfulday You're beautiful too! I liked seeing your after the video commentary in Did it Survive Zelda? Looks, voice, and you like games. You're the total package. I wish I ran into people like you irl more often.
I’m trying to get my stream stuff completely set up with better lighting so it’s not so dark and I look washed out haha, but thank you! 😋💕
The blue to red potion thing doesn’t save rupees in the long run. If you are going to use one and then go and replenish with a blue, it will cost you 40 rupees each time you do that. By the second time you’ll have spent 80 rupees. If you just used both your servings and replenished with a red, it only costs you 68. I’d only do the blue upgrade for 40 if you were heading into level 9 with a blue potion.
I usually don’t need the potions, but I get a blue one and if I have to have it I just go refill it before the next level! Especially for the last few levels, but you are right the math doesn’t stand very well if you constantly refill the bottle!
Brings back so many memories! Thanks for sharing :-)
In Zelda ii, I think if you repeatedly use enough magic, the old women’s refill will eventually end, I tried this once out of curiosity, I think I used life about 6 times or something
I’ll check it out!
Zelda 2 has a ton of hidden areas for extra lives or xp bags. Would be cool to see them all mapped out.
I agree, I just didn’t have time to make the map for this video as well. I’m going to add it in with the finished combination video but go ahead and post it to my Reddit when I finish it!!
it's me again, loved the video! please keep making then, you're awesome!
Thank you so much! 😋💕
Wow what a coincidence finding this video! I’m playing Zelda 1 for my very first time and on the o.g. NES and a small CRT TV. It’s super fun but also super aggravating. I played ALttP and later games, but I was just a bit too young for the NES Zelda games. No way anyone could beat this without a walkthrough. I am on the 6th dungeon now and the 5th dungeon with the blue knight rooms really made my blood boil. I’ll remember this video as I’m playing it.
2:29 The map shows the northeast graveyard, where the magic sword is on the first quest.
Yes I know it was an over sight on my behalf, a viewer pointed it out to me. It will be corrected for the final video!
All these "secrets" are more or less a fundamental part of the game. You should know these secrets if you have played the games.
Here is an Easter Egg for you for Gameboy Color Legend of the River King 2 English Version. Take the game and run it through the Gameboy MOM Analyzer on PC and change the cartridge type to 1EH from the selection. Then fix the header afterwards until it is correct. This will enable Rumble that was programmed into the Japanese version and just needs to be opened on the English Version. It's way better with Rumble thanks to the original programmers and myself. Catching fish and battles are way more fun. Oops that first M in MOM was supposed to be an R. My bad. This works with the Epilogue GB Operator set to Rumble even if your Geek Tech Premium FRAM Cartridge doesn't have a motor. You could just use mGBA and skip that though. Also works on the Pow Kiddy V90 with the Pocket Go Firmware Update to support Gameboy Color Rumble. It has a motor inside.
Nice to know!
as a younger gen z who's favorite game is zelda 2 in a world of botw/totk fans, i enjoy lowkey videos like this about my favorite era of zelda. i miss this era. here's hoping that echos of returns at least some of that classic feel!
I agree, I do like the simplicity of the earlier Zelda games. The newer games are for sure more open and a free to roam type of game play, you can go forever without even doing a quest!
@@Bashfulday very true! though i will admit i have a slight distaste for that, only because its trying to replicate exactly what zelda 1 was without the core elements. and also without adding crucial elements that could have made zelda 1 better such as a thought out plot and well written story/characters that aren't flashes of memory, and more opportunity for in depth world building. i won't go into my full extent of opinions on that because we here for days LOL, i by no means hate those games, they are just different and not for me, which is fine! i just see a lot of opportunity there that wasn't taken, you know? i hope you have a good day! ❤️
I'm sure there are more factoids and tidbits you could dig up from this game, but with that being said this was a very fun interesting and entertaining video. Good job and keep up the great work
I highly recommend the Redux rom hacks for the first two Zelda games instead of playing the plain vanilla version. They improve upon the original games in many ways that make them more enjoyable. It's like an updated version of the games. Even removing some of the issues you mentioned in the video such as being able to manual save with controller 1, and no flashy screen when dying in Zelda II. There's also Redux hacks for A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening that are also much better ways to play them.
There's also a PC version of Zelda II which is also fantastic to play and adds a few new areas that are a nice surprise. Overall, I wouldn't recommend touching the original versions.
In majorinas mask, there are some interesting Easter eggs as well as some objects hidden in plain sight. One of the objects hidden in plain sight is the mysterious 11th owl statue Which can only be accessed by using either cheat codes or glitches Because it sits just beyond the loading zone.
I’ll make sure to add this one in, I’m actually a big fan of this secret!
@@Bashfulday There are a lot of Easter, eggs and secrets in Majar's mask. If you know where to look... Including doors that open up that go no where ... If one.
Is able to in ocarina of time if you can talk to every Statue with the mask of truth.There are a lot of interesting secrets And details about the game that can be learned.
2:29 the reference image you put up has the NE graveyard circled instead of NW.
7:12 That's my favorite; you mentioned it! 😄
Damn, you’re right! I must have been looking at it wrong haha! I love the little map at the bottom, it’s so cool! It’s an awesome reference point for the rest of the map in Adventure of Link!
@@Bashfulday The inset map at 2:29 with the NE graveyard circled shows the spot of the Magical Sword in the first quest, so it's probably just a case of having grabbed the wrong image.
I don't have the second quest nearly as well-memorized as the first quest, I have to admit, so it was neat seeing it covered. First quest, I did enough times that I still have practically every positive secret burned into my brain. And Zelda 2 was a great game, it just wasn't the same as the others, so it gets a lot of hate. Definitely got some rough edges, I admit. There's a fan remake, ZIIAOL by HoverBat, which adds a ton of neat stuff to the game and is definitely worth playing. ^_^
You have a lovely voice, and a great cadence in your recording. You sound relaxed and natural, while still also staying professional. While there were a couple minor mistakes, they weren't severe enough to detract from the video. Videos on these older games are such a coin-toss, whether they'll be good or not, but I really enjoyed this video! And it's great to see people still enjoying these classic games, all these years later. (Funny coincidence, I just happen to be wearing my "Ugly Christmas Sweater" Zelda shirt today.) I hope you do well, whether it's having this channel take off, or if you end up doing something else, like voice acting. ^_^
Thank you so much! I hope to be making videos for a while it makes me happy to see so many people enjoy the things that I do too, however voice acting could be cool 😋🤔
I like the potential of this channel, going to subscribe for future alerts. I didn't know about a few of the secrets.
Funny thing.... my original Zelda II nes from back in the day STILL has a working battery! One of my saved games is still there from the 80s...
This is actually really cool, must be super batteries haha!
Little sister I knew most if not all of this , before your parents met 30 years ago.. still love the effort
I think the fact that the Zelda in Zelda 2 is not the same Zelda but it's the same Link is crazy cool. You may have missed that
I didn’t say it in the video, bc I thought it was common knowledge but I did know it’s the same link! I’ll add it in the full video! 😋
Ali-Express has Rumble FRAM Cartridges and a device to make a game with a motor. No battery, save forever.
this was a great video, I learned a couple new things and I've been playing Zelda for 3 decades. keep up the awesome work!
Thank You! 💕
Never knew of the multi controler stuff.
I am a big fan of 2.
Now I know why names were nostalgic in ocarana as a kid.
I cannot think of any others
But I like the NES versions came with so much in the Manuel.
Like a full map and a lot of lore not seen in the game itself.
Here's an easter egg you forgotten in Zelda 2. You don't have to put the crystal in when you beat the boss of the temple. If you jump over it, you can exit the temple. Then when you beat all 6 temples and max out your attack, life, and magic to 8, you can go back to each temple and put in the crystal. Each time, you'll get an 1-up. That's 6 extra Links that you use to get to and through the final temple.
THATS SUCH A GOOD SECRET! Thank you for sharing this!! 🤩
Great job on the editing, 9k views in 4 days is amazing. Keep up the good work 😁👍
Thank you so much! I’m extremely grateful for everyone that has watched, I’m having a hard time believing the numbers I have been seeing the last 4 days as well!! 🥹💕
as far as "favorite secrets" go, im not sure if i even have one...but the 'first to mind' is that the Warp Whistle tune from Zelda-I not only returns as the Warp Sound in SuperMarioBros3, but it gets 'extended' into a full melody on Zelda-OoT's "Press Start" screen...
...that, or how most games in the series have some sort of reference to the first game's dialogue, even as recent as BotW/TotK, where you can find the [Zelda-I] Sword (as in, its just called 'Sword') with the item description saying something like "take this when going alone would be otherwise dangerous"...
actually, check that-- i just thought of my 'favorite secret', and its from OoT-- didja know theres a brief window (after collecting the Three Stones but before pulling the Master Sword) where Child-Link can watch a Hyrule Castle Soldier fucking die?? he was wounded during Ganondorf's attempt at attacking the Castle (yknow, why he was chasing Zelda/Impa in that cutscene you just watched at the moat) and as the last few letters of his textbox type out, he stretches an arm out, shaking, before falling limp...trying to A-Speak to him afterward just has Navi tell you "He's not moving anymore..."
These are really good, I forgot about the solder in OoT! I’ll add them in to their respective games videos!! Thank you for your addition! 💕
We played zelda when we were kids, and I remembered having hearts all over in a roll on the top screen, but find anything about it now
I’ll see what I can dig up! I know link can jump up there by accident sometimes same thing with enemies, most commonly noted is the wizzrobe roaming up there sometimes!
6:37 The laugh of the hunchback wizard is similar to this laugh but not identical
Are you talking about the Magician boss on level 4 of Kung Fu? They do sound very similar.
@@darrylshields6148 Yes I forgot to mention the game
Ok. Didnt know avout the manual save in LoZ2. Which is my favorite game in the series. And didnt know about getting to skip handing the meat over by respawning.
I need to get back to doing gaving vids too. New sub
It is really nice, that Young generations, enjoy old school games
This is one of my all time favorite games! 😋🤩
This is a really solid video for anyone new to these games can appreciate and enjoy. I look forward to your next video
Thank you!! 🥹💕
@@Bashfulday All the best, Happy Thursday
@5:40 younger me says you have to use the shield spell before going down the chimney so you can pretend to be Santa Claus
Haha, Santa is that you???
I like using the manual save to cheese the casino to the left of the starting location in Zelda 1
Yesss!!! It is quite useful!
You can also hold reset and turn off power to save
I didn't know that!!
If you get 2 hearts first you can get the 2nd sword before the first dungeon in Zelda 1
This is very true!
Amazing. Great video and I was surprised to even learn something new. :D
Thank you! 🥹💕
Hanks …. SECRETS
You can save on the games with another controller?
I am pretty sure you can only save on the gold ones. They contain a battery that is needed to be able to save.
I have no clue, I can do some research and get back to you! 🤔
i knew about 65% of what you covered....great job on covering Zelda..... :)
Thank you! 🥹💕
3:28 I cant be the only one that sees that green bit in the corner ☠
The not-so "secret" save menu was printed in the manual. It's more appropriate to call it the forgotten save menu
I haven't played since the 90s and I still remember where to bomb 😂
I have played the first Zelda so many times and I never knew about the manual saving😭
Lots of interesting details!
Buttons on the NES controller are pressed or pushed but never "clicked."
This is a valid point 😂
I think I found them. Oh and That laugh should be first go to Bald Bull. And Mr Sandman had that too
Yeah I think a lot of the fighters in that game had close to the same laugh if not the exact same tbh, it was probably a timesaver for the devs
@@Bashfulday so far 3
it has been so long since i played, but i think there was some cheat involving the fairy at a pond or something..... i can't remember what it was though
I enjoyed the video, you did a good job. My only critique is to pick a topic that has less saturation on TH-cam if you want to stand out. If you're just making videos for fun then you're nailing it
My goal is just to have fun making videos on topics I enjoy, I’m not really on TH-cam for any monetary gain! 🤣
Power braclet isn't required for the grave yard heart container in Quest 2. Fyi
I didn't know that at the time I made the video, but I do now!! 😁
I re-made the original Legend of Zelda in Game Boy Color-style: th-cam.com/video/2UM_7XA7UW8/w-d-xo.html
I made sure all of the secrets, tips, and tricks were implemented.
THIS IS SO COOL!!
@@Bashfulday I appreciate that
Your vid’s are awesome. I haven’t played video games for about 10 years or more, last Zelda I played was Spirit Tracks and of course, I beat it 😁. I’ve beaten every Zelda up to Spirit Tracks. Watching your vid’s makes me want to go buy a Switch and get back into it… To show everyone who holds THE REAL MASTER SWORD 😀😆
Yesss! It would be an honor to be the one who got you back in the franchise!🤩 I played 16 out of the 20 main ones so I feel you, I plan on playing and finishing the last four I haven’t played before on stream eventually so I can have help if I need it haha! 😁
@@Bashfulday I’m good at puzzles 🧩, YOU know, when you get to a room and get stuck lol I’m pretty good at figuring them out 🙂
I'm not sure who this video is meant for, as all of this information, ALL OF IT, has been well documented over the years on TH-cam, much less magazines, message boards, FAQ's, etc.
That being said, you did a good job in presenting the information, without adding on a bunch of unnecessary fluff. So, kudos to that. I just hope you set sights on games that haven't been overly documented to death in the future.
Thank you, everyone has to start somewhere and I chose to start somewhere I was familiar with. I plan on having a WIDE variety of games in the future that I plan on making content for. I’m aware it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but for some of the newer players or even the older players seeing new representation of the series they know or are just finding out about could be helpful for them. 😁
Do a video on the real secrets, like the pink ring or zoras flippers.
Up thrust and down thrust.
You are correct, I just call them strikes I forgot they were called something else… my apologies
Cool, God I´am old! By the way, its better to keep the gems out of the statues, until you are in the higher levels ( Adventure of Link)
I learnt this recently myself through you guys, I had no idea you could do that!
@@Bashfulday Well, old people are there to share their experiences with young people!
It's so interesting.
A shy hello from Switzerland to you, Bashie! :) I have made some custom quests based on the NES version of Zelda (such as NES Zelda Hero Mode and NES Zelda Lost Levels), and I had to learn all of those secrets as well. Your video is really well made and I love your voice, you could easily narrate stuff for very famous gaming channels such as IGN for example. :) ~ Matt
Thank you so much Matt! 🥹💕
@@Bashfulday You're most welcome. :) I hope it's okay that I sent you a similar message on your Insty, because I wasn't sure if you'd have the chance to check TH-cam comments, being so famous already. :) I'm Schweizelda there, I followed you today. ^^
I knew a lot of these... But only bc I'm old. 😂
Not old but seasoned! 😋
Lovely video overall, but the saving was never a secret. It's in the manual for each game. Cheers!
Yes. I did. Because I played the before you were born.
Poop, I’m old.
Nonsense, a game is a game! You can ever be to old or young! 💕
Want your mind blown. We all love Zelda but do a Star Ocean Till The End Of Time reaction. Ps2 game.
Sounds like a stream game!! 😋
@@Bashfulday no, it's a very very very meta game. I won't spoil it, but it's my 2nd fav game (#1 being Final Fantasy 7). It's hardest at beginning but becomes very enjoyable after you level up a bit
Zelda 2 was a b***h back in the day, would help if you had a full sword instead of a knife. Just look when you attack an enemy up close, your hand is holding a knife
Good work, basic for those that would not know! Work a bit with the normalizing of your mic though, the volume shifts and your t's and sh's peak a bit. Just a tip!
Yeah I’m still pretty new to all of this, but I’m starting to think it’s just the way I say word on somethings haha. I’m trying tho! 💕
