What’s your favorite Zelda easter egg/secret?
Awesome Video
11:54 Okay you just activated some shipper lore. So, Epona's song was just confirmed to be passed down from parent to child in Malon's family right?... pretty much confirms who Link gets with at the end of Oot. TP Link grows up on a ranch, and literally knows Epona's song by default. Malon's own voice can be heard singing over the Hyrule field night theme, It's like Link's ancestors are watching over his journey. The Hero's shade passing down sword techniques, and Malon calming the sky over the field where Lon Lon ranch used to stand.
100% I love that you are separating your paid placement from the rest of the video with the chapters/bookmarks.
Wish I could do more than sub and like for the effort you put in that way.
This isn't Ocarina of Time but one of my favorite Easter eggs is Zelda's cloak in Twilight Princess having a Sheikah symbol on it.
I knew these hidden things and I believe one of the kokiri tell you about the signs or it was a gossip stone but I didnt know the last one I think that's cool and I so believe that
I’ll never forget the first time I found out Link could eat Poe souls. My brother was playing and he had one in a bottle. We were like, “no, you can’t eat tha-“ then all three of us siblings watched in horror as Link chugged the ghost’s remains down his throat and lived.
First time I ate a big poe soul and let me tell ya, the sheer horror of my health going all the way to one heart was enough to make me never try drinking anything other then milk in Zelda games after that🤣
Same. I remember I did it by accident. Lol
Honestly I really enjoy the idea that Malons mom might have been Gerudo. It adds an interesting element to the story
Malon's mom is Gannondorf, confirmed.
Talon says the same thing if you talk to him wearing the Goron's Mask. Was Malon's mom a Goron? Or is this just NPC dialogue that people read too much into?
Especially since the premise of the game is around sorrow loneliness etc. So knowing your wife is alive and have no way of being with her and having to keep it a secret to protect your daughter...also being a mom knowing your child is out there but cant do anything because your superior (ganondorf) will use that against you... it fits perfectly sadly enough
@@williammachie1176 Well, it makes SOME sense, Gerudo have brown skin and red hair and Malon has a similar shade of red hair, it would simply be a case of her not showing all the traits from her mother
@@baxterbruce9827 think of the region as well naturally those in the intense sun in the dessert would get more tan while someone living in a cooler region would have lighter tone. Also since her father has light skin the child would fall in between if the gerudo have naturally darker skin
5:24 "you will eventually play OOT again. Its inevitable."
People who haven't played OOT will never understand how true this is.
I even replay OoT in my head. I can see it perfectly.
What people will reply games they enjoy?
Shouting from a distance: OH WHAT A SHOCK!?
@@Sgt-Wolf I have barely played it and I want to visit it and it's the same for games like risk of rain but on a much greater degree
its the music that always brings me back
I've just started my third playthrough in the past year.
That last secret on Malons mother is something I didn't know, but what's even stranger is now after BoTW we know for a fact Gerudo women mate with Hylian males, since there race is all female, but exactly why wasn't Malon forced to go back to be with the Gerudo clan as is customary? Maybe that's why they deny it fervently because her mother would be breaking Gerudo customs and if anyone found out, Malon would be torn from her home and dragged to the Gerudo settlement
actually, it was mentioned in ocarina of time that the gerudo look for hylian boyfriends around castle market. This isnt something that just happened in breath of the wild. As for why Malon didnt remain behind with the gerudo is honestly baffling as well, but then again, we can't say for sure it is true. Either way, if it IS true, I assume maybe Talon couldn't be with his true love at the time out of the strict rules in the gerudo society. So he took Malon away when she was a baby so she wouldnt be subjugated to such a life.
Though, Nabooru being a sage, a very savvy leader, knows Ganondorfs intentions better than most. Post Hyrule Civil War. Maybe she was smart enough to know a food stable hand and ranch would be helpful down the line. Whilst her Sage wisdom wasn't awakened no, her military and Gerudo mechanics were her faute. It could've been a very sensible move, knowing as a Gentle Woman, a humble (albeit slack) farmhand, may be a very good ally against the future plans of Ganon. Esp as we know the Ranch has been a Hotspot in prior wars and in Ganondorfs eyes.
@@DreamingHearts Or maybe Nabooru did not want Malon raised as a Gerudo under king of thieves Ganondorf. Whom even then she could tell was going to be a bad leader. (I mean he was literally raised from birth by two evil twin witches, in such a situation how do you not end up one evil, twisted, screwed up, mother fucker). So she left her daughter to with her mate protect her from Ganondorf's evil while telling the Gerudo that she miscarried or something. Then she tried to stop Ganondorf, was captured by Kome & Kotake, and brainwashed with magic for seven years. Then she was awakened as the sage of spirit and after that we don't know if she could or did return to / interact with the physical world.
@@jlk461 Precisely the Game I think she played! Along with knowing too, not jus does she want her daughter an enchanted slave or warrior under G'dorf. But down line, she's connected to the Demise curse by Tribe. So knows well a Hero resurrects. Leaving Malon, seeing a gentle soul (as no way Nabooru doesn't have extra liberty of travel ex, part why I think, her little adventures n what not. Let Koume n Koutake to such extreme suspicion, then action), would down in time, be something highly prized. Esp given aforementioned factors and G'dorfs fondness of the strongest Horse. Hence all the mess with poor Epona. Nabooru could've had ALOT planned through all that.
We shouldn't forget that Malon is a Hylian (look at her ears), and maybe that's why she wasn't taken into the tribe
To show you the power of Zelda's Lullaby, I chopped this sign in half.
True power
The same mechanic also works in MM, although you play the Song of Healing there. Cool, huh?
That's a lot of damage!
@@OfficialFedHater
How about a little more?
**charged spin attack on the sign**
_Now, _*_THAT'S_*_ a lot of damage!_
Yes
“You will eventually play ocarina of time again. It’s inevitable” hey man don’t call me out like that I totally don’t have it in my n64 which I have set up 24/7 ready to play at a moments notice
Wish I still had my n64. Yeah I have oot on the gc and 3ds but it's not the same as playing it on official hardware and using a crt tv.
Yeah bro! I just bought the gold cartridge on ebay for about $80
Im on the Texas Mexican border right now but when i get Odessa im gonna do 100 percent completion on all three save files
lol.... I was reaching for my 3ds, just before he said that too!!
My original OOT cartridge was stolen.
I have two n64 copies of it as well as a gamecube version.
Alas both n64 cartridges are faulty, which is weird, because no other n64 game I've ever gotten hold of has been...
KuraIthys that sucks. I had to repurchase because my cousin took my console for over half a decade
The Malon's mom thing, It would be very interesting if Hudson and Rhondson had a daughter in BotW2 that looked a lot like Malon. Maybe give a hint at how Gerudo and Hylian genetics work
gerudo are dominate genetically, any kid born would be female, and look like a gerudo.
@@azadalamiq We don't know that. It is possible that whenever a child with stronger Hylian genetics is born they are immediately thrown to the wolves, so to speak.
@@attackcrash0787 I always thought it was like Calico cats, you get a female Calico (Gerudo), a Male Calico (With XXY genes, very rare, Male Gerudo, Ganondorf) or not a calico (Malon, it helps that she has similar red hair, making this theory sound less like a throwaway line read into too much and more like "Huh... Kinda interested... Maybe.")
Azazura-daro if you really wanna talk about genetic science, then men are the ones that provide that genetic morph of whether a baby is going to be male or female. Women genes don’t play a part in that.
@@Mbull4935 Yeah, but it's clearly stated that, for example, only one male after 100 years is born. It's not a matter of genetics. It's a matter of lore.
It's stated female gerudos mate with hylian man, since in Ocarina of Time they go to the Castle Marked looking for men. And as such, every Gerudo no matter they mate with an hylian, would be a dark skin red haired female.
That being said, as I mentioned in another comment, Malon knew her mother for long enough as to remember Epona's Song, given she herself tells you her mother taught her that song before falling ill.
So, no. Nabooru is NOT her mother.
8:27 Actually, you can walk up the chains at any time during the day.
Was about to comment this as well. You also don't need the drawbridge up to collect the Rupees, just go to the top of one of the chains, roughly one chain link from the end, and do a running jump to the left or right (you want to jump toward the opposite drawbridge chain). If you do it correctly, you'll grab one or two invisible Purple Rupees (worth about 20 Rupees each). There's 3 invisible Purple Rupees and you can only grab 2 with each jump, so you'll have to climb and jump off the other chain to gather them all.
Then you can just walk inside of the city and back out to respawn them, for potentially infinite money (until nighttime comes and the drawbridge raises, although you can just reset it with the Sun Song). I also spam the chains for early money, especially now that I'm playing "Ocarina of Time Randomizer" a lot.
a even more precise way is when you go out of town just keep z down, run forward, side jump till you touch the white stone and keeping z down, backwalk to the wall, this way is 0 risk of falling since you will reamin aligned with the door because of the z button.
@@Augoeides32 But purple rupees are worth 50 rupees. You mean red rupees.
@@psuedonym9999 Whichever. The point is, you can earn potentially infinite rupees this way.
It seems overpowered at first, but considering wallet limitations, and how your constantly buying important stuff to progress the plot, it's less stressful to farm money this way. Also, a lot of times you end up wasting rupees from dungeon chests when your wallet is full, so this is a nice way to make up for that money loss.
@@Augoeides32 But you don't need to farm rupees in OoT period. Your wallet fills up way quicker than you can spend rupees on things, even if you do get the Giant's Wallet as a kid. Between the Running Man, the frogs at Zora's River, the Big Poes, the various chests with rupees, and the rupees you collect that just add up, you have to go out of your way to buy stuff. On my most recent playthrough, I had to use up and then get a Giant's Knife sometimes partway through a dungeon just to keep my wallet from filling up completely.
Thanks for having me on Mr Bandit! Enjoyed working with you as always and your video turned out fantastic! Very enjoyable, fun and informative, I LOVE talking Zelda Secrets man :D
There are so many!! Thanks for joining me friend :) here’s to the next one!
You too are awesome and great. Awesomely great? I love both of your content, keep up the good work.
Always liked the theory about Malon's mother being a gerudo, but I think it's also worth noting that if you approach Talon with the goron mask, he'll say the same dialogue as the gerudo mask.
Late: but plottwist. Her mother is a goron. The gerudo reaction was his more recent gf
I'm surprised you guys didn't mention the dialog from one of the Gossip Stones: "They say that Gerudos sometimes come to Hyrule Castle Town to look for boyfriends". It certainly adds weight to the Malon's mother being a Gerudo theory.
Just a heads up about the hidden rupees on the bridge secret. You don't have to wait for the bridge to raise, you can just walk up the chains and then jump off toward the centre of the bridge, and you will catch the invisible rupees in midair. No waiting involved so it's a very handy way to grab some quick rupees on your way in/out of Castle Town :)
I find it funny that every video that brings up the three hidden rupees over the entrance to hyrule castle town. I never waited for night. I just jumped mid day and collected them after walking up the draw bridge chain. Lose half a heart but a heck of a lot faster. Did it back when the game first came out as a kid.
I remember when I discovered those rupees too just from messing around and walking up the chains and then jumping along the top haha
Just roll when you land and dont lose a heart
Even better, you can steer yourself toward the entrace of Castle Town after getting the 2 red rupees closest to the chain and go in before even touching the ground. If you hit the transition this way link goes through thw ground, lol. Then of course you can come back out and get more rupees.

@@masahirosakurai64 What is it from, it doesn't look like anything I have ever seen
@@SilentVinyl Nick Robinson
Regarding Talon's reaction to seeing the Gerudo Mask, he has the exact same reaction when he sees the Goron Mask too, giving less credence to the theory of Malon's mother having been a Gerudo.
Well, it kinda eliminates Nabooru, but one could argue that Malon's mother was a Gerudo that also happened to resemble a Goron. Just throwing that out there.
@@geoffreyrichards6079 Since genetically speaking, Gorons tend to be stranger than Gerudos, could it be possible Malon's mother had both Gerudo and Goron in her ancestral history? Or, maybe not, since Gorons seem to breed slowly, rarely, and with no other race likely due to their own unique binary gender often referred to as male for ease of reference?
Y'all are thinking too hard about this. Occam's Razor says the reaction to both masks was just a joke meant to make us laugh.
Besides, we've seen what a Goron/humanoid hybrid looks like in Rosso from A Link Between Worlds. If Malon's mother looked anything like Rosso, then surely Malon would have inherited some of visible signs of Goron genes, too. Yet, she ain't no fat rock girl.
@@milestinker2178 Forgot about Rosso lol.
Who mistakes their wife for a strange humanoid animal species?
😂
I've always thought the spirit temple statue's nipples being hookshotable was funny because hookshot targets kind of look like nipple rings 😂Maybe they had actual hookshot targets there in development but decided they looked too ~lewd~ and removed them but didn't remove their collision.
idk why that was added, It Was Even Added in the 3ds Remake!!
They can also damage you
@@AkameGaKillfan777 the fall damage? or what?
@@christianjames3797 Directly hookshotting onto it. You have to be at a specific angle which I still don't know exactly what it is, but it works on all versions of the game.
@@christianjames3797 For in-game adult humor! As for why all versions have it, it was too good a secret not to share from generation to generation.
I thought the ghost drinking was pretty common knowledge
Same, also isn't there flavour text explaining what poes might do in the menu screen?
@@hikaru9624 I kinda remember some form of text alluding to the mystery of whether it would help or hinder you to drink?... Unsure.. There were a couple of effects... Empty magic fill magic... Gain half heart loss hearts and so on
Yeah ikr
@@jackdlaw yeah I'm pretty sure there is text hinting this. I mean it makes sense for the game to tell you to some degree! This should also be in the 3ds version which definitely does have flavour text for items.
I thought the sign recovery, fire temple, and light arrows were also common knowledge. The only one that wasn't was the Malon thing in this video. I'm surprised he didn't mention the secret Mario pictures in Zelda's garden. Here is one that I've heard barely anyone mention. There is a glitch called Like Like clipping where you clip through the floor/corner of the wall after stunning them and making them a solid object. There is another glitch involved with stunning the Like Like. Try stunning them (deku nut, hookshot, etc) as they are in their lunging eating animation. Now back away from them and look at the distorted model you've created. This doesn't work with the Majora's Mask ones for whatever reason.

@@HyruleGamer oh hey
We need more of these collabs
I have played OOT once a year for the past 20 years. I haven't done my playthrough for 2020 yet. Better get on that. Thanks for the inspiration!
I always just walked up each chain and jumped to the middle instead of waiting for night.
Same or play the sun song
what about those big pink faires that appear in werid spots after you play the song of storms
Thassa good one
Or some of the holes in the game that will only open up when played said song lol.
"Let us delve into the secrets that you may have missed" then immediately goes into an unskipable ad lol
Ah yes, drinking a ghost. A perfectly normal thing to do.
XDDDDDDDD
Ectoplasm. Perfectly fine to ingest.
Drinking spirits.
Spirits -> alcohol
this video just proved to me that I was completely obsessed with this game as a kid because I actually knew everything
So, I guess we may have a part-gerudo Link, given TP Link is descended from OoT Link and almost certainly Malon, and if Malon is half gerudo, then we have a part-gerudo Link.
This franchise is absolutely insane and full of secrets and I love it
OoT Link may be slightly Gerudo as well. I mean, in game, he looks like he's almost got strawberry-blonde hair or orange hair. Which is a combination of blonde and RED hair. And who are the only redheads in the game? Gerudo or their descendants.
TP Link is not necessarily FROM Ordon originally. That's just where he grew up. Have you ever noticed that he's the only Hylian with pointed ears in Ordon? Everyone else in the village has rounded ears like the Gerudo. Hmm...
There is no “part-Gerudo” as that’s not how their genetics work. Malon wouldn’t be “half” Gerudo. She’d be 100% Gerudo.
Think about it; if Malon was born from Gerudo and Hylian and was Half and Half, when she grows up and has a child with a Hylian, that child would be 1/4 Gerudo. And then that child would grow up and have a child 1/8th Gerudo...
Gerudo wouldn’t be a thing after like 3-4 generations.
Instead, when a Gerudo has a child, that child is full-blown, 100% Gerudo. It’s part of the reason why they almost exclusively give birth to females.
Which brings up the next point. Link.
Link CAN’T be Gerudo. Because that would make him 100% Gerudo, and that would make him the Gerudo King. But a male is only born every 100 years or so, and in OoT, Ganondorf is the Gerudo King. Furthermore, by BotW, because Ganondorf is still actually technically alive, the Gerudo have not had another male birth. Ganondorf is still the Gerudo King, he’s just locked under Hyrule Castle.
So TL;DR - there is no such thing as part-Gerudo. All Gerudo are 100% Gerudo, no matter who the father is.
@@wokeupinapanic this doesn't make much sense.the baby would have part of the bloodline of the father too.
wokeupinapanic thats a fair point, but remember how in OoT the gerudo have round ears, but in BotW they have pointed ears. This isn’t just a retcon, it’s because they’ve been breeding with Hylians for so long. These aren’t pure gerudo. But again, you have a fair point, but another thing to note is the very inconsistent logic from game to game, and this could be one of those times where it doesn’t work right.
@@Elementianhero22 I had never noticed the ears thing. Definitely going to keep an eye out for that on my next play-through, though I do know Ilia's dad has round ears.
Fun fact regarding the last fact: In Breath of the Wild, there is a Gerudo in Kara Kara Bazaar that is looking for love of something. The interesting thing is, she something about how because only one male Gerudo is born every hundred years, they have to hunt out for a husband.
That in and of itself is a reference back to OoT, where one of the Gossip Stones in game (I forget which one, maybe one of the four near the Temple of Time?) tells Link with the Mask of Truth that "Sometimes Gerudo thieves come to Hyrule Castle Town to look for boyfriends." That's how the tribe survives. If the child is born female, they almost always return to the Gerudo tribe to live in their society when they come of age. (With Malon as the exception)
That is a fact that has been arround since OoT, but with the popularity of BOTW and no longer that being a hidden fact, it has become more of common knowledge
Yeah Ganondorf usually is that one male, he certainly was in OOT, he betrayed the Gerudo tribe to go after the triforce.
Peter Y you idiot, that’s common knowledge since oot
I went into this video thinking I wasn't going to learn anything new, but 2 out of 5 were totally new to me, I'm impressed! Great video guys, done very well!!
As much as I love the Malon’s mother theory. If you wear the Sora mask or the goron mask. Talon says the same thing. So it’s not really credible.
But it does make you wonder who Malon’s mother is.
Nabooru doesn't say the same things though
5:46 The mood changes are so funny, it reminds me of Tetrabit gaming :D
Well I just got ocarina of time 3d so thanks and I had Majora's mask so it felt wrong not owning oot
That was cool af. Especially the little theory at the end there. Really got me thinking.
In Majoras mask, playing the song of healing will repair signs the same way lullaby does in oot. I actually do think this was alluded to in the official guide of oot.
I never knew of the connection between the Talon and Nabooru dialogue and I believe they were ment to connect, the fact that those two dialogues share similarities in writing and response to the same mask says it all.
Aww I didn't know you have a dog.. The dog is so cute! ^^
I have two! This one is a 10 month old blonde German Shepherd. He’s my heart
@@BanditGames Aww cool xD
I believe I leaned the signed respawn from one Gossip Stones. I remember learning that somewhere in game but can't remember exactly where.
I like how you and hyrule gamer are friends so I can watch 2 zelda videos in one day
Ocarina of Time: I am inevitable.
Super Mario 64: And I am Mario.
*snaps*
Came in thinking I would already know everything you would say.
Never knew you could drink a Poe.
Never knew about Talon and Gerudo.
Very cool!
The ghost shop guy is the guard. When you're kid link he says "I'm interested in ghosts" and "you never know when a time that info might be useful" or something like that.
I thought the last secret would be about the hidden dialogue when you play Epona's Song to Malon at night before taking Epona.
I discovered it this week
🤔 what does she say?
I'm curious as well. What happens?
@@andyq524 "Do you know my mother's song?
Everyone really liked that song... My dad... Even Mr. Ingo... But...since Ganondorf appeared, Mr. Ingo has changed completely. I can remember the good old days only while I sing the song. Also... Epona really liked that song... Only I could tame that horse... Even Mr. Ingo had a hard time... Hee hee hee!"
@@dadistalon7546 I came across that when I played as a kid by accident. Made me REALLY want to run into Malon's mom, spent the rest of the game hoping for it lol.
@@dadistalon7546 Neat. I thought I knew that game like the back of my hand, but I never knew about that.
8:20
Incorrect, you do NOT need to wait until night for the drawbridge to retract
You can simply walk up the chains when the drawbridge is down.
The middle rupee can still be obtained this way if you know where it is and are good at jumping.
11:10
Seems you didn't hold forward after hookshotting the Sand Goddess.
Those points are sharp enough to hurt Link if he touches them.
This dude deserves about 1 or 2 million subs
I was 8 when this came out! Dude I'm 29 turning 30 "almost having a midlife crisis" as I type. Lol
Can I be a kid again!??
The 90's were amazing!!!
#timeofmylife
Same here man, those years were great. The 90s Spider Man cartoon is on Disney+ if you watched that one much.
Thanks for the secret info we all found out 20 years ago.
Thanks for being an asshole.
I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE SECRET ROOM ON MY OWN! Well - not on my own technically because it was in Multiplayer. B-but you get the point. 😅
You have a cute pupper. Also I played and beat Ocarina of Time on 3ds in april, it is an amazing game.
as for the sign thing, I learned it from the nintendo power guide. This is where it gets weird though, I learned it in the back of the Majora's Mask guide, and in that game, it's the song of healing. Makes a bit more sense there.
I still remember the first time I played this at my cousins (before I finally had my own). I was still on my Super Nintendo. The sounds of the menu. The different clothes. The sounds of the game itself. It’s a journey I’m glad I took and one I miss taking for the first time. Nothing since then has ever come close to comparison.
Here's a secret I found that surprised me. Did you know that if you go back to skull kid as an adult he will attack you and be an enemy and if you kill him he will drop a huge rupee every time you do it?
That I did
Did it surprise you?
*shifty eyes*... i totally didnt already know about the statue
Well I know already all these secrets (except the last one) since I was a little boy.
But one of the Shiekah stones ( I didnt know their english names) told us that the Gerudos comes sometime in the castle town, looking for men.
I just want to mention that he said he would take a minute to talk about the sponsor, skip 60 sec and BOOM right back at the video. I'm impressed by your accuracy MaskedNintendoBandit!
You don't have to wait til night time for the draw bridge. Walking to the top of the chain and jumping off towards the end of the chain will net you 1-2 red rupees per leap.
You forgot about ALL the swordless Link shenanigans. Basically you save and quit after Ganon knocks the Master Sword out of your hand. It causes a lot of fun glitches.
Just wanna say that Talon gives the same dialogue about his wife if you show him the Zora and I think the Goron mask. Has the dude never even SEEN his wife???
I missed three of these secrets.
1. Light arrows making monsters drop 50 rupees.
2. Zelda's Lullaby repairing signs.
3. Talon's and Nabooru's reactions to the Gerudo mask.
Another interesting thing about Malons mother being Gerudo is that there’s a Gossip Stone that DOES say sometimes the Gerudos come to the Marketplace to find boyfriends.
You don't have to wait for the drawbridge to raise. Anytime the drawbridge is lowered you can run up the chains and side hop to grab the rupees
You don't need to wait till nightfall to collect the red rupees on the gate. They just float up there. Just walk up the chain and jump across.
I'm actually impressed. There were two of these I was actually not aware of. That is such a rare thing by now. With playing the game through, countless times, an all the theory and secret videos I've watched, Nintendo Power magazines, and traversing old gaming boards in various languages, somehow I hadn't seen them. Thanks!
You can only hookshot the statue's nipples in early versions of the game. It was eventually taken out due to complaints from parents.
Scarecrows song = Hey Pierre you wanna come out here!
I didn't know that about the Light Arrows, because I didn't want to use them up. The rupees over the draw bridge can be jumped to in the daytime. You don't have to wait for the gate to close. The one about Malon's mom is amazing! That's the kind of thing that makes me want to wear each mask and go talk to every single NPC.
I remember as a kid, our local box store (Zellers, no out of business) had a system set up where you could play whatever game they had in there for a few minutes, just to get into it.
The system would reset itself automatically at the end of the time limit...and they set up OOT. But apparently the people who chose the time limit had never played it before, because if you were *really* fast at entering your name, you might get to the end of the opening cutscene a split second before it restarted. I was so pissed when that happened.
Something about the Ghost Hunter in the guardhouse while playing as Adult Link is that he's heavily implied to be the very same Guard in there while playing as Child Link. If you talk to said guard at night, he'll say that he studies ghosts as a hobby.
To add to the Talon theory, if you wear the mask of truth and use it on one of the stones in front of Temple of Time, it says the Gerudo will come to town every few years to seek a boyfriend. It adds up
In Ganon's Tower, after you go through the first door, drop down under the bridge and use the Lens of Truth and you'll find a room with a forest aesthetic that has Fairies and Business Scrubs in it. If I remember correctly, they sell Red and Green Potions, Bombs and Arrows. On Master Quest there's an additional one that sells Deku Nuts.
I remember doing the chain walk as a kid just because I loved exploring everywhere in OoT and MM, also in BotW now.
I remember accidentally drinking the Poe and freaking out as a kid thinking I screwed up and couldn't catch that big poe again. Those other ones were super interesting, especially with the scarecrow. I could NEVER figure out it's purpose other than I thought it was a fun dev tool they decided to leave in the game as I got older.
Regarding the hidden red rupees above the draw bridge into castle town, you don't have to wait for night to collect them. Just walk up to the top of the chain during the day and if you roll jump you can collect two of them from one side, then either go get the third one or enter and exit castle town to reset them and rinse and repeat for super easy rupees any time
Congratulations! The secret about the Gerudo mask potentially revealing Malon's mother is the first thing I've seen in one of these videos that I have no memory of discovering for myself way back in 1998.
For the red rupees at the drawbridge: you don't need the bridge to go up. Just scale a chain and jump off parallel to the wall. That gets you 2 of them, then do the same with the other chain and you'll get the 3rd.
You can actually take the three red rupees atop the castle gate during the day. You'll have to go up the gate chain, then jump to where the rupees are. If done correctly, you should at least be able to obtain two out of the three red rupees.
Also, I first played this game when it came out 20+ years ago, have played it several times since, and did not know that light arrows yielded purple rupees! This game just keeps on giving! Thanks for letting us know!!
In Majora's Mask, you use the Song of Healing to fix signs instead. That's actually how I found out about the Zelda's Lullaby sign fixing mechanic, because in a secrets guide, after mentioning the Song of Healing sign fix, they alluded to the same thing existing in OoT but with Zelda's Lullaby.
Another interesting secret is in the Ocarina of Time Manga. There is a bonus chapter after the child arc that is a original prequel story about the Skull Kid in the game. He says Link's face looks familiar (a distant memory of what he looked like before) and when Skull Kid's flashback as a normal kid is shown, it's shown that he was a Hylian boy with Blond Hair and Pointy ears and when you see his mother in the background she has the same hairstyle as when Link's Mom is shown in the Manga in another flashback. While non-canon in the game it is a possibility that Skull Kid was Link's older brother who got lost in the lost woods and turned into a Skull Kid in the manga.
The theory about Malons mother being Nabooru makes perfect since in light of breath of the wild. We see Hudson, another very Mario-esque looking character who married the gerudo that came to settle in Tarrey town.
Secret 3 --- you don't need to walk across the top of the drawbridge to collect those rupees, you can just walk up the chains during the day and jump across. You may have to do this on both sides to get them all, but you definitely don't need to wait until the drawbridge goes up.
Fun one with the signs. Equip deku nuts. And chop up a sign and play zeldas lullaby then quickly throw a deku nut, you can end up with the top half of the sign floating in mid air
One of the gossip stones will tell you that the Gerudo sometimes come to Castle Town “to look for boyfriends.” I always read that a veeeeery different way until now.
If you throw a dekunut while fighting a poe it will turn them visible again
Extra little secret: When you first are about to meet Zelda, shoot the window above her, off to the side through a window will be a picture of Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach.
I think this is 64 version only, I tried this in 3DS version and it didn't work, but if you shoot the left window, someone throws a bomb at you (right window is 20 rupees)
I don't know how many people know this, but I didn't know this until recently and I've played the game at least 100 times.
if we gunna include the zeldas lullaby to fix signs try catching a butterfly on the end of a deku stick, it will then turn into a fairy that you can capture in a bottle. Best place to try this out is the field outside of the castle as a child, but any where theres a butterfly will work. Just make sure to move very slowly as fast movements cause em to run away
Bro my dad showed me that when I was a kid and it blew my mind but I couldn't recreate it. I'm definitely gonna try again now.
I just beat OoT on my 3DS a couple days ago. We had it on my Nintendo 64 when we were little and I remember I always wanted my older to beat the shadow temple for me because it spooked me. Lol
Regarding those red rupees atop the drawbridge, you don't need to wait until sundown to collect them. You just need to climb up either chain and jump towards the other. You'll get the middle one most of the time and the edge ones each time you climb up the respective side and then subsequently reload. :3
Adding to the "you can walk up the chains any time of day" thing, if you end up waiting for night you dont even need to go up them...just stand on the edge of the drawbridge and you dont even need to move
You can collect the rupies on the bridge by walking up the chain and juming down towards the middle of the bridge. you just have to make sure to not stand at the very top, but a little off from the wall. enter the the castle, go out, repeat.
I remember stumbling on the sign repair trick in my original playthrough definitely surreal to see it here I thought it was just a known thing lol
Oh yeah, there's a LOT of fun dialogue to be found when talking to people with the masks. The Gossip stones also have a lot of little lore bits.
One secret that doesn't seem to get alot of attention that I remember from many years back is also one in the Gerudo base. When you free the last carpenter from imprisonment as adult Link you encounter a character who engages in dialogue without being hostile. I can't remember if it was Nabooru or not, but she will always be wearing the same color of clothing as the tunic Link wears, and if you change tunics in front of her, the color of her clothing will also change to match. Its an interesting detail, albeit a vague and situational one since this is the only time where this occurs, and when you leave the room, it never happens again since you never encounter this character again outside of cutscenes.
I've been playing this game for like 3 weeks and it has been the best gaming experience I've had in a while
Aw, such a nostalgia trip! I dug so deep on the internet in the early 2000s, I actually knew all of these already. XD
For the rupees on the drawbridge you can go any time the drawbridge is down, then you walk up the chains till you reach the top, then you jump down. You can also get the 40 rupees that way.
The secret of malons mother makes sense. Also makes her proposition to link less creepy when you think that maybe she too was trying to arrange a marriage between link and malon
It's very rare that one of these vids teaches me something new since I've been playing this game over and over for decades but I truly didn't know about those hookshot target nipples lmao
Biggoron's Sword + Killing the skull kid = 500 rupees
Never gets mentioned and good foreshadowing for majora mask
Way late but with the poe drinking thing, it either takes or gives 1 heart but if you have less than a full heart, it can't kill you and always gives you 1 heart.
found the sign repair trick on my first playthrough around 20 years ago ^_^, happy to see it included here.
Another Secret of sorts is that the other Scarecrow (Bonooru?) will memorize whatever random notes you play him, which is unlimited maybe? I don't remember, but when you beat the game, if you wait a couple minutes, you will hear the same "Song" you played to the scarecrow played, and every couple minutes it will play again, in different pitches, and styles, such as malon singing it (I think?), and becoming sharp or flat. Easy to miss if you turn off the game right after beating it.
Two more things:
You can beat the last form of Ganon with Deku Nuts. (The last attack must be from the master sword.)
Also, you can sell a fish to the rocking guy in the town square as a child, or in the village as an adult. He buys the fish for 200 rupees every time. (Fish is trapped/caught in a bottle.)
Just an FYI, you don't have to wait for nighttime to get the red rupees over the drawbridge. You just need to jump at a 90 degree angle to the chains to get two of the three. There's also an entryway right there so you can just leave and re-enter Hyrule field to respawn them. As far as I remember this is the best repeatable source of money in the game, as the only ones that are faster are only available after you have completed most of the game and no longer have any need for money. Wallmasters are maybe better, but they sometimes just feel like dropping 15 instead of 60 rupees.
