What if I told you that I'm extremely happy that you're finishing this game and as a disabled veteran your videos always give me something positive to do on a Saturday
I'm disabled as well. It's great having something this quality at this length. Even though I've beaten this game a million times since 1992. I still learned something. Take care Dude.
Disabled vets unite! I love UCBVG, it's always a pleasant notification to get ,even for games I have already beaten dozens of times like Link to the past. I even learned a couple secrets I wasn't aware of!
It's cool that you managed to get the exact right amount of detail in these videos. I legit think you're doing a thing that nobody has ever really done before. It's easy to find people talking about Zelda or playing it or speedrunning it but doing an actual step-by-step walkthrough while also being entertaining is, I think, completely novel. I wish these videos would start getting like 5M views so that it would become an entire genre.
@@reallytiredmachinist I just looked at his channel and it's exactly what I expected. It's each game broken down into dozens of parts. I guess there's nothing wrong with that but it feels like a totally different approach to UCBVG.
I agree, this channel feels the most like a friendly Nintendo Power magazine come to life than any other channel I've seen. (I'm sure there's plenty others I haven't seen yet, but I doubt they'll nail quite the same vibe)
@@lukasketner True. But some of the games Nintendo Power covered aren't as in depth, and the strategies alter a bit to still give you a run. For example. NP suggests in MegaMan 1, to tackle Bomb Man first. Which a lot of people do. Whereas UCBVG Suggests Fire Man first. The game, while beatable starting with Bomb Man, was easier with Fire Man's weapon throughout, because it didn't use as much energy as the Hyper Bomb, and was tactically just as or more effective in a number of stages.
@@youkai3785 Neat, I can't remember much from those years of my life anymore, but it sounds to me like I tried it every way I could think of, and somehow ended up remembering going with bubble 1st? to kill the fire guy or something? It's been soo long
39:33 This is the only time my mother and I needed to call the Nintendo help line. We tried bombs, wands, staves, the hammer and running into it and everything EXCEPT pulling on it. For some reason, we just never thought of it. Maybe we subconsciously thought we had already tried it? We explored the world and did as much as we could until that was the only thing left to do, gave up, and called the hotline. We felt dumb, but it was worth it. [related but off topic a little] My mom always played games with me, often taking turns at the controls of the RPG and adventure games, and defeating them together. She used to read and explain the various text with each game to me. As I got older, I read - with her help - and asked questions. I was eventually able to read and understand the games on my own. She passed away in 1999. I think one of if not the last game we beat together was OoT. There just weren't many good RPG/Adventure games for the N64. She never lived to see BioWare RPGs. She would have loved KotOR, Mass Effect and Dragon Age for example. I was able to keep the tradition going with my sister - who recently gave birth and wants to do the same with her son.
I have a 5 year old daughter who loves playing Zelda with me! Your story reminded me so much of her; because we just beat Majoras mask together, and every time there was dialogue (which there is a lot) she would ask me to read it to her! I hope we can continue to bond over games, as we are currently playing Links awakening! May your Mom rest in peace; and may she watch over you, smile and enjoy all of your RPG playthroughs from heaven!
@@brendenhassler4613 - thank you so much. Cherish those moments and I encourage you continue. my wife and I are yet to be successful with children, but we hope to do the same. I suggest that you try some beginner level Dungeons and Dragons table top adventure games with her as well.
There's so much stuff in this game that it would be pretty well impossible for a single person to find everything without help or without spending waaay too much time trying everything.
I already knew about the anti-faeries, but I didn't know magic powder could be used on bees as well. It's cool that even though these guides are for casual players, they still have some info that even veteran players might not know!
it never ceases to amaze me when I find out how much people don't know about this game, that I thought was all common sense, assuming you had ever beaten it before.
1:33:17 -- can't believe just about everyone who covers kholdstare misses this little tidbit: for a fraction of the cost of constant fire rod spam on the shell, you can use the bombos medallion to immediately take off his icy shell. Then with plenty of magic power you can then spam the fire rod on the three eye things in part 2... Or use the sword. That's fine too
Bombos can also be used to get through the Ice Dungeon w/o the Firerod. Funny enough, I always used Bombos on Kholdstare because the game required you to use Ether and Quake elsewhere, so I thought that boss required it.
@@shawnking6753 nope, gotta use the rods. My opinion: take out the ice head first. Not only does the ice linger for the whole battle but the fire rod shoots faster than the ice rod
This is legit the best thing about the weekends. It gives me the same joy I used to feel back in the days of good Saturday morning cartoons and Lucky Charms. Thank you, good sir. Thank you.
I was surprised you avoided the bomb spiting tree after the first bomb it threw. You can speak to every tree that has eyes, they give more lore to the game and I think some may give you clues.
1:25:34 Use the Pegasus Boots to charge to the bottom of the room, then make your way to the stairs in the upper left while the traps *_Slowly_* return to their starting positions.
@@Pants69 it makes tearing through those other 2 dungeons so satisfying, you totally should! It really tones down the difficulty of the 3rd dungeon with all the Gibdos (mummies) and Wall Masters (falling hands that take you back to the entrance).
Even better: add in dungeon 6 so you can get early access to the silver arrows and lvl4 sword!!! You need to beat dungeons 5 and 6 in order for the dark world bomb shop to stock the super bomb
@@JPBrooksLive cool, man! I'll do both of these suggestions. Will definitely fix myself a nice cup of tea and start playing tomorrow after breakfast. :D
I do the same thing except I leave the temple once I get the hammer and then I do the same thing in the 4th once I get the titan mitt. Then I get the master sword tempered and then I go beat the temples in order.
If you dont feel like constantly turning around to block the Eye Lasers in Turtle Rock, you can just charge your Sword and walk sideways. Just make sure your Shield is on the side where the Laser is coming from.
I found the imprisoned maiden immediately suspicious back in the day as everyone without the cyrstal in the dark world takes on a twisted form but she did not.
A few helpful tips for this part of the game that weren’t mentioned, you can actually get through and beat the ice palace without the fire rod by instead using bombos on the ice golems and melting kholdstare, also the trigger to unlock the super bomb at the dark world bomb shop is having beaten both the ice palace and misery mire palace, with this information my preferred order to do the dark world dungeons is 1-4-6-5-2-3-7 this insures you’ll get the sword upgrades as soon as possible and can have the golden sword and blue mail for dungeons 2,3, and 7. I also do 6 before 5 because i like having the cane of somaria to skip the annoying block puzzle in the ice palace. just make sure to grab bombos and the 1/2 magic upgrade asap after dark palace and maybe some green potion for ice palace and it makes a really fun route!
My grandmom got me into video games and zelda was her game. I would watch her play this all the time and remember the day she beat it. That ending got to me. Alot of good memorys.
Something that really helps in the ice dungeon is the Bomb Medallion, makes the rooms with the penguin guys really easy Also, something that I used to do was finish the Misery Mire dungeon first to get the Cane of Somaria and use it to push the button near the end of the ice dungeon, so I could skip going around the dungeon
I've been playing this game over and over since it originally came out in the 90s, and I think this is the first time I've seen the ice dungeon done the "legitimate" way. I always do Misery Mire first.
Same here BUT on the GBA version of the game they changed the way that SWITCH Puzzle in the Ice Palace works so that you can't USE the Red Cane at all.
@@veghesther3204 oh man, I don't like that... It restricts how the player wants to go about beating the game and makes it more linear instead of open-ended, the way I prefer Zelda, honestly
My theory is that if a Wise Man had no descendant then the magic of that Wise Man simply would have disappeared from the world, and Agahnim would not have been required to offer up a maiden to break that part of the seal. Another possibility is that the Wise Man's magic would have returned to his respective temple, and then Agahnim would have been required to seek out a descendant of a more recent Sage from that temple, if not that existing Sage. So if the Wise Man of Fire had no descendants, Agahnim either would have offered up no one at all, or if an offering was required, it would have to be Darunia or Link. Goron Link, that is. As for Zelda's comment about her always feeling that Link was the Legendary Hero, at the time this likely referred to when Link saved her in The Legend of Zelda. But since Ocarina of Time, this would refer to their meeting in the courtyard. That's why Ocarina of Time included dialogue about Zelda having a dream about Link appearing like a ray of light from the forest. It also explains why she was so quick to trust Link with the task of claiming the Triforce. And yes, this is the fifth time Link has saved this Zelda. Once in Ocarina, once in the Oracle games, once in Legend of Zelda, Adventure of Link was a different Zelda, and twice in A Link to the Past. 2:16:16 I think you can use the Fire Rod to light that torch from the upper platform to reveal the path. The Triforce grants all wishes of its wielder, not just one. Also, it wasn't explained in A Link to the Past, but Ganon never actually touched the Triforce in this game. Ocarina explains that simply entering the Sacred Realm will turn it good or bad depending on the person's heart. So the Essence of the Triforce, in context of the larger plot, was explaining that Ganon's wish to conquer the world is what turned the Sacred Realm into the Dark World. It was from there that Ganon planned to build his power, then send out his army to take over Hyrule as well.The fact Ganon was just a spirit means he couldn't touch the Triforce anyway, which is why its Essence says Ganon was trying to make his wish come completely true. Ganon also mentions this before the battle with Link. Regarding Agahnim, I think the game implies that Agahnim was one of Ganon's underlings, and allowed Ganon's soul to possess him to augment his powers. That's why Ganon rises out of Agahnim's body when Link kills him. Ganon was a spirit in Link to the Past, which makes sense following Adventure of Link where he was dead and his minions were trying to resurrect him using Link's blood. This is why the Essence of the Triforce confirms to Link that he completely destroyed Ganon. Meaning, even Ganon's soul no longer exists since it was destroyed directly. Ganon never broke through the Wise Men's seal. He was dead since Legend of Zelda, and merely contacted Agahnim as a spirit. Speaking with the dead is pretty common in the Zelda series. If you're asking about Ganon breaking out of the seal after the Wise Men cast it, the short answer is that Ganon wasn't sealed in the Dark World by the Wise Men. The long answer involves going through the various iterations of the Zelda timeline, which no one wants to read about. Uh... I think the Zora just has multiple pairs of flippers for sale. I think the implication of the Master Sword sleeping forever was that Ganon had been destroyed and the Sacred Realm turned into a paradise. And the seal was back in place, with the warps closed and those trapped in the Sacred Realm sent back to Hyrule. So there would never be any need to use the Master Sword again. Link to the Past is basically the end of the series, aside from side quests such as Link's Awakening.
You're making a lot of crucial mistakes here. First off, Ganondorf is 100% *alive* in this game. That makes sense, as he killed Link in Ocarina of Time, took all three Triforce pieces and wished to rule the world, transforming the Golden Land into the Dark World (and Ganondorf into Ganon). Some time later, when Hyrule had fallen into decay, the seven Sages sealed Ganon away in the Sacred Realm, after which it looked like peace and stability returned. However, people started learning about the Triforce and the entrance to the Golden land and started looking for it. None would return (probably due to the power of the Golden Land preventing them from using their weapons). Then, evil power started flowing from the seal, a sign that it was weakening, and Ganon started influencing a priest called Agahnim to help him break the seal. He sets out to find the seven maidens, descendants of the seven Sages, and brings them one by one to Ganon, who then locks them up in the various palaces. This breaks the seal of the Sages, and Link has to stop him, before the seal opens wide enough for Ganon to pass through and attack Hyrule proper. Link kills Ganon's body, but his spirit remains (because of Demise's curse), and eventually returns in the Oracle games, A Link Between Worlds, the Legend of Zelda, and Breath of the Wild (though he will have lost all his humanity by that time).
@@AO968 You're going off the horribly wrong Nintendo "timeline". Link never dies in any of the games, and if he did, there's nothing anyone could have done to stop Ganon in that case. If Ganon got all the Triforce parts, he would basically be a deity, and Zelda would have been dead, meaning no Seven Sages sealing anything away. The Nintendo "timeline" doesn't work. Throw it in the trash. If the Seven Sages sealed the Dark World, then how did people fall into it and go missing? The Link to the Past backstory states people were getting lost in the Dark World before the Seven Wise Men sealed it, not after. Yeah, you're mixing up the order of events. The backstory claims the Wise Men sealed the realm after Ganondorf entered it, and that after sealing it, the evil power no longer flowed from the realm into Hyrule. No, the prologue states that Hyrule was plagued by cataclysms. The King ordered people to investigate the Wise Men's seal, but they found nothing wrong with it. Then Agahnim showed up and used magic to quell the cataclysms, and he was honored as a hero. That's how he insinuated himself into the King's inner circle. Turns out, he was the one causing the cataclysms in the first place. If Ganon was alive, why didn't he just cross over into Hyrule immediately? First, the Demise storyline is dumb. Second, even if you want to recognize Skyward Sword as canon, I think that game actually ends with Link obliterating Demise and his curse completely. I guess it's open to interpretation. But no, Link definitely destroys Ganon completely in A Link to the Past. The Essence of the Triforce says so. The Oracle games take place after Majora's Mask, and before Legend of Zelda. That explains why Komue and Kotake are alive. They were never killed in the original timeline. If you think the Oracles follow the end of Ocarina of Time in a timeline where Link died, then you must admit Komue and Kotake died as well. So yeah, we saw Ganon rise out of Agahnim's body. He was a spirit. Link to the Past also follows Adventure of Link, during which Ganon was dead and his minions were trying to resurrect him by getting Link's blood. If you think Legend of Zelda came after, you'd have to explain how he managed to get the Triforce of Power again. Hate to break this to you, but when the writers made Wind Waker, they threw the entire Zelda timeline and it's lore right out the window. And the storyline has been nonsense ever since. Now the series is just a cash cow.
*_My god was this nostalgic af!_* *_The Hookshot was my very favorite!!!_* *_This was easily the most epic video game of all time! The creators were absolute geniuses!_*
Yes!! I waited all week for this!!! I played a little bit, and pressed pause and saved my game so I could pass you the controller to see how U Beat a Link To The Past.
One of the things that narrows down the flute without the good bee is that the boy mentions he buried it and planted some flowers. So you can just dig the parts of the grove that have flowers growing, which is still a little more time than the bee trick, but is a decent alternative to digging the whole darned place up.
1:32:00 One small thing you missed is that if you kill those ice enemies (the Freezors), a chest will spawn. While it just contains some bombs in the normal game, this is useful to know if you play this randomized, as I learned of this chest because it had something important for me. EDIT: 1:43:50/1:44:50 Another smallish thing, in the room at 1:43:50, if you walk on the spikes you can lift the skull to reveal a switch that reveals a chest containing the last small key, so even if you waste a key, you can still get in the room. Nicely edited and done video, btw :).
Also for such an old snes game. The 3D tri force stuff was cool. The graphics in mario rpg(another fun one to go through) are crazy but I’m assuming it had other chips in it developed later. Links awakening would be cool Too but like I said I want a full blown oracle series of videos as well :).
@@davidmcgill1000 mario rpg didn’t really throw many polygons in the mix either now that I think of it. Can’t think of too many non fx chip games with polygons.
Watched the whole thing, despite constantly playing the original and randomizers, I even learned a couple of things like selling the good bee/fish to the bottle merchant, or turning Grandma into a fairy lol Surprised you didnt get the ice rod before the desert palace - I think Nintendo Power recommended it as the rod works on the worm boss, 3 hits each. Also surprised you didnt get the Butter Sword and Silver Arrows before Turtle Rock - the Super Bomb appears once link collects the 5th and 6th crystals. Very well done guide, enjoyable background watch while playing other games. Thanks!
This is a stunningly good video in terms of accessibility. I am visually impaired and your narration of what's going on, not just the exhausting "now go here, do this, do that, *irrelevant sidebar while I keep playing and doing things*" stuff is so welcome and welcoming. You even 'read' the cut scenes without explicitly reading everything -- these natural summaries are wonderful as well.
Actually, the Master Sword DOES "sleep again forever." This is the Imprisoning War Timeline, and after this game, Hyrule enters a period of decline. The original Zelda game and Zelda II, both of which come after this one do NOT feature the Master Sword. So while the Master Sword may be important in other timelines, not so much here. A caveat on this is A Link Between Worlds, which is the sequel to ALttP. I've seen the theory that the ending scene for this game takes place AFTER that game.
I love your videos and THIS game is a masterpiece that I have beaten a few times. Its so nice to watch you play and Im like oh yeah I remember that. It is great to refresh my mind in this game
I’m playing it for first time. By chance I got the game right before he released the first video. Still playing it first, but when I get stuck I’ve watched. It’s fun to make errors and search through.
It isn't silly, Erick, we all go through rough patches, and tbh, I am going through one right now as well, and UCBVG is absolutely something I look forward to on Saturdays as well. I wish you all the best, and want you to know that some random TH-cam commenter is rooting for you.
@@FallingXion Thank you, your encouragement is welcomed. Hope your struggles cease sooner rather than later. I rarely post any comment and don’t have social media, so its cool to hear from others in a community like this.
Cool playthrough. I really enjoyed this. I thought I knew a lot of secrets to the game but you showed some more. I am really enjoying this channel and thanks for doing all of these playthroughs.
I found this game in a pawn shop about 10 years ago (never had it as a kid) I took a week off work to play it and my save file got corrupted at the last dungeon! I got a SNES mini just to play this game and managed to finish it in one sitting! Only found out recently about "anti fairies" with the magic dust, son of a...!!!!
PSA: Once when I was playing (unfortunately on a saveless/deathless run) I was doing the flute quest, and lock/crashed the game. I don't recall exactly how it happened, but I know that my mirror transport was too close to the flute boy's stump. I ended up triggering the small vanishing cut scene right as I entered the light world, which locked and crashed my game. UCBVG directly contradicts this in this video, but just sayin, I wouldn't risk it, and transport further away from stumpy boy ;)
"Sadly the priest isn't there to refill your hearts....that guy's dead..." All of your videos are great but that made me crack up and may be your finest moment!
For the first time I knew what video would be coming and I was so excited to see it. Love your channel brother. I had no idea about the magic bee. I still remember digging forever to find the flute. Lol. This is still my favorite game ever and I didn’t know a half dozen tricks or so
I can't wait to watch this in full! By the way, I too prefer to do the Gargoyle's Doman second in the Dark World- I like to get the TItan's Mitt, and the Tempered Sword, as soon as possible. The Titans Mitt opens up a lot of the map, and the Tempered Sword helps in combat.
And what if I told you.. you can clear dungeon 5 and 6 and then get the super bombs early and then you get early access to the silver arrows and lvl4 sword
@@adventureoflinkmk2 Oh sweet! I didn't know that you could get it that early! I thought that the first six dungeons all had to be cleared before the super bomb appears.
I already mastered this game many, many years ago, but this has been a charming stroll down Memory Lane! We appreciate these videos, TLoZ:ALttP is a classic. As usual, you expertly showed off as many details as possible, including a couple of little extra nuances that (as long as I've known this game) even I didn't know about. Triforce of the Gods/A Link to the Past is easily one of the most important games to the Zelda series, if not the most important. With its introduction of so many series staples such as the Hookshot and a generally more fleshed out narrative compared to its two predecessors. While not a series-wide or console-wide favorite of mine, I still find it rather enjoyable to play through every few years or so. This is actually the first Zelda game I ever played! Thanks for this comprehensive guide as always, I'm sure you've helped out quite a few people who might be new to this game, and made some new fans. See you next time!
19:09 - Stand right next to the shopkeeper. Fire an arrow whenever a squid exactly lines up with the second to last curtain. You'll never miss. 33:50 - It seems the devs intended for you to use the hookshot on the torches to get through the room faster, if you happen to have that already. 38:33 - You talk about refilling your health while walking right past the fortune teller, who does exactly that! 48:28 - This chest will have the magical boomerang if you don't already have it. 58:40 - If you visit the switch room first and lower the blue blocks, you can get back to the switch faster after grabbing the key. 59:35 - You can just slash the switch through the wall 1:00:55 - Irrelevant in the vanilla game, but fun trivia: if you're playing a randomizer and you already have the hookshot here, you can hookshot right over to the other ledge without having to go upstairs again! 1:02:25 - Walk the loop first, then push the block, and you won't have to walk the whole loop twice. 1:22:14 - Penguins are weak to the hookshot. 1:23:38 - If you toss a bomb over the orange blocks so that it lands at the bottom-right corner of the cracked floor, it will hit the switch and blow open the floor at once. 1:25:58 - If you don't bother with the key until coming back, you won't have to walk over the spikes. 1:26:19 - Surprisingly a lot of people don't know that you can use the powder on one of those yellow things that turns you into a bunny (sometimes called bunny beams), and it will turn into a fairy! 1:29:25 - Beat Misery Mire first, and bypass the whole puzzle with Somaria. 1:31:04 - If you would have killed the ice monsters in the room to the left earlier, a chest would have appeared. You could have hookshotted to that chest as a huge shortcut, even avoided revisiting the "very obnoxious room". In fact, if you would have gotten the blue mail the first time, you could have used this shortcut regardless. 1:33:22 - Use Bombos to skip Kholdstare's first phase entirely. 1:48:51 - Are you... are you... going to Turtle Rock BEFORE getting the gold sword? Why???? The pink bomb appears as soon as you have crystals 5 and 6. 1:55:55 - It's much easier to light all the torches quickly, then hookshot onto one of the torches to fall into the pit and respawn at the door. 2:04:00 - Much easier to hold out your sword, which holds your shield at your side, to block the lasers. 2:04:20 - Bomb the wall at the bottom of the room to go outside. The point of going outside is that you'll respawn at this entrance if you die. 2:08:26 - To get the pink bomb to the pyramid, it's much faster to mirror, take it across the bridge north of link's house, and use the Hyrule Castle gate portal. 2:15:02 - The intended method is to use the Cane of Somaira to hit the switch remotely. 2:16:40 - The pots are there so you can bonk on them from the other side to jump across the pit and skip the whole invisible maze. But if you really must cross the maze, light the torch with the fire rod first. 2:27:46 - is this the first time you realized you can powder the bunny beams? 2:45:00 - Also important to note that fairy revivals will count against you, too.
I really like how you can give a super informative walk through while staying entertaining at the exact same time (which you don’t see very often anymore) I followed both your walkthroughs and finished the whole game in one sitting. You make probably the best walkthroughs I have ever seen
Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of your videos with us all and they really come in handy when playing and getting stuck somewhere. This guide and part one is and was a really big help. This is the first time I'm playing any kind of Zelda game and I'm hooked on the Zelda games thanks to your channel 😂. Your Super Star Wars guides also helped alot too thank you again for posting these guides please keep them coming. Your channel is the best. Have a great day my friend and thank you again.
UCBVG is the best gaming channel on TH-cam, no one else does a full playthrough with tips and tricks and even goes back to play a section twice or more to show you other options.
This was one of my favorite games growing up. Makes me so nostalgic. Also so interesting now with the randomizer of this game keeps it popular today. You should also do super metroid. Another great and difficult session game. Great video can't wait to see more.
This game and super metroid are still my "go to" games after all these years. This was truly the golden age of video games. Great video by the way Thank you for another great video By the way, you really should do Super Metroid as a video.
Bought this game back when I was in high school. I was so excited when I beat it and as the credits rolled, I hoped there would be a second quest. So a question: Has anyone ever been able to kill those squirrel looking things on Death Mountain? The creatures that turn to stone when you hit them?
You can only kill them if you use the magic powder or quake medallion, it will turn them into those yellow slime enemies that can be killed in one hit.
Quick heads-up: the strange enemies (looks like a cluster of stars) can also be turned into faeries, if you use the magic powder on them as soon as they're revealed (but before they start moving). Or, if you know one's hidden in a skull/under a block, use the magic powder before you pick it up (the block/skull).
What an awesome, in depth walk through! This is my childhood, I watched my older brothers play this game & always thought to myself I can never complete this game. But now we have a NES & will try it out! I think this is the best video game ever made, especially at the time it was released. Thank you for making Part 1 & this part 2 video.
LttP is one of my favorite games of all time. I've probably legitimately played it through it dozens of times. For me, Dark World dungeon order is 1, 4, 2, 3, 6, 5, 7, 8. Obviously as you showed in the video getting the Level 3 sword early helps a lot with 2 & 3. And I don't care for the block stuff in 5, so I grab the Cane of Somaria from 6 first and use that to make 5 easier/faster.
Could you consider a second channel where you mute in game music and sound and only have your voice. Some of us struggle to hear music and voices and relax
In Turtle Rock 2B the southernmost room, the eye beam room with numerous chests, you can also charge your sword so your shield is always facing the eyes while you loot the chests. Also, you could've upgraded your sword to the rank 4 Golden Sword and arrows to silver arrows before Turtle Rock.
Best walkthroughs on the internet. I can already beat video games, but UCBVG is so thorough and fun to watch. And I always learn 2 or 3 things I didn't now.
11:24 But don't we all have an obvious vulnerable spot on our faces? ALSO 2:35:28 if you accidentally go too far to the right, the game will bring you into another room, but it's no big deal, just step back into the room to the left and you should be right on track to hold up and reach the ending. That's what I've found, anyway.
I remember playing this game when it came out, I could not for the life of me figure out the water temple. I thought my game was bugged or I had not found the item to get past the entrance. Until LTTP was rereleased on GBA I took a shot in the dark and drained the swamp in the light world and was shocked it worked. Yes, I would agree that the mechanic would have been better more times throughout the game. That way players could understand that it was another option. But just to have it only happen once was a pain.
I played a really fun Adventure Time game on PSVita that was very much based on A Link to the Past, a true tribute with a lot of it's own fun, challenge and humor to offer, not just a new franchise repaste
The super bomb (and therefore the silver arrows and golden sword) actually unlocks before Turtle Rock dungeon. The actual requirement is having rescued the swordsmith and defeated the bosses of both the Ice Palace and Misery Mire. I've played through LttP so many times at this point that I like to save as many bosses as possible until after getting the silver arrows, because all boss monsters that aren't immune to arrows take massive damage from them. Another great video, keep up the good work!
"da fountain of happinezz* yall anit even fixen 2 uze all Dem bomz an arrowz, 20 bomz, an 20 arrowz datz enough 😽 datz all,😺 goin bak & 4th, by da tyme i get 2 weer im goin, id been don had alot of bomz an arrowz frm pickin up potz and mo, otha dan dat, good job😺
I bought Zelda ALTTP when it first came out in 1992. The SNES was really MY system growing up and to this day. By far the very best in my opinion, and getting in on the ground floor with it (unlike the NES it took me about 4 years to get), I was completely engulfed in its whole era and works. It’s actually still the only system that I still have my original of, with its box and all paperwork, along with 5 of my favorite games, also in perfect condition with their boxes. But Zelda for SNES was the game that I knew EVERYthing about. Despite how deep a game it was and still is. That being said, my mind was totally blown that I discovered just two new things about it in your video. One, the “Good Bee”. I never ever even heard of that, or that it could be used to fight the moth boss or show you the area to dig for the flute. Second, while I always found the Cane of Bryna, I never found too much use for it. I was just a completionist and got it. But using it on the moth boss, or a few others to avoid damage while also getting a few extra hits in addition to your sword? Brilliant! I probably knew 99.999% of every trick, strategy, and item in this game, but it blows my mind that after 30 years and playing it completely through countless times, that there was still something I didn’t know. But in my defense, I never bought strategy guides, it was a pre-internet time when this came out, and I just liked discovering everything on my own.
This is such a cool game. But I wouldn't want to play it without someone walking me through it. It's just too time consuming otherwise. So, thanks for this video.. really helped alot!
Ok... gotta be honest, never had the idea of using the Golden (Good) Bee to figure out the location of the shovel... I mean, the flute, seems like I still have to learn new stuff on most games I have already played so far.
2:03:47 just a tiny addition to this part of the strategy to not getting a laser hitting you as you attempt to go back to the middle... if you are charging for a circle sword swipe, you are holding your shield to the side, with the mirror shield equipped, you can still stop the beams from hitting you without having to play a game of Rhythm Heaven just to safely make it back in one piece
Okay, something I didn't know until this video. The Turtle Rock boss, I thought you had to only use magic against the fire/ice heads. I beat this game in the early '90s and I always hated that boss because I thought it took way too much magic to beat. Nice to know it isn't so bad.
It took me two days, but I slowly made my way through the video. Honestly, having something like this to watch in my free time has been wonderful. Thank you!
I've beaten this multiple times. Never did it the way you did though. I never knew the Cane of Byrna was so useful and I've never used the cape to it's full effect either.
i had…never…used the hammer on the helmosaur king. 😂😂😂 i had only ever used bombs. it should have been obvious to me, but….this dungeon also took me a massive amount of time to work through

What if I told you that I'm extremely happy that you're finishing this game and as a disabled veteran your videos always give me something positive to do on a Saturday
💪🙏😎
I'm disabled as well. It's great having something this quality at this length. Even though I've beaten this game a million times since 1992. I still learned something. Take care Dude.
Chris and Stuart thanks for your service brother
@@johngavalas74 I appreciate it Sir. I'm not a veteran. I know it's the internet, I have to correct that. Take care.
Disabled vets unite! I love UCBVG, it's always a pleasant notification to get ,even for games I have already beaten dozens of times like Link to the past. I even learned a couple secrets I wasn't aware of!
It's cool that you managed to get the exact right amount of detail in these videos. I legit think you're doing a thing that nobody has ever really done before. It's easy to find people talking about Zelda or playing it or speedrunning it but doing an actual step-by-step walkthrough while also being entertaining is, I think, completely novel. I wish these videos would start getting like 5M views so that it would become an entire genre.
Sweet Johnny Cage does a real go guide for this game. That's how I beat this game.
@@reallytiredmachinist I just looked at his channel and it's exactly what I expected. It's each game broken down into dozens of parts. I guess there's nothing wrong with that but it feels like a totally different approach to UCBVG.
I agree, this channel feels the most like a friendly Nintendo Power magazine come to life than any other channel I've seen. (I'm sure there's plenty others I haven't seen yet, but I doubt they'll nail quite the same vibe)
@@lukasketner True. But some of the games Nintendo Power covered aren't as in depth, and the strategies alter a bit to still give you a run. For example. NP suggests in MegaMan 1, to tackle Bomb Man first. Which a lot of people do. Whereas UCBVG Suggests Fire Man first. The game, while beatable starting with Bomb Man, was easier with Fire Man's weapon throughout, because it didn't use as much energy as the Hyper Bomb, and was tactically just as or more effective in a number of stages.
@@youkai3785 Neat, I can't remember much from those years of my life anymore, but it sounds to me like I tried it every way I could think of, and somehow ended up remembering going with bubble 1st? to kill the fire guy or something? It's been soo long
39:33
This is the only time my mother and I needed to call the Nintendo help line.
We tried bombs, wands, staves, the hammer and running into it and everything EXCEPT pulling on it. For some reason, we just never thought of it. Maybe we subconsciously thought we had already tried it? We explored the world and did as much as we could until that was the only thing left to do, gave up, and called the hotline. We felt dumb, but it was worth it.
[related but off topic a little]
My mom always played games with me, often taking turns at the controls of the RPG and adventure games, and defeating them together. She used to read and explain the various text with each game to me. As I got older, I read - with her help - and asked questions. I was eventually able to read and understand the games on my own. She passed away in 1999. I think one of if not the last game we beat together was OoT. There just weren't many good RPG/Adventure games for the N64. She never lived to see BioWare RPGs. She would have loved KotOR, Mass Effect and Dragon Age for example. I was able to keep the tradition going with my sister - who recently gave birth and wants to do the same with her son.
My mother also passed when I was in my teens as I am assuming you were as well. 1997.
Thanks for sharing your memories.
@@skeeterd5150 - Yes. A freshman in 98/99.
I have a 5 year old daughter who loves playing Zelda with me! Your story reminded me so much of her; because we just beat Majoras mask together, and every time there was dialogue (which there is a lot) she would ask me to read it to her! I hope we can continue to bond over games, as we are currently playing Links awakening! May your Mom rest in peace; and may she watch over you, smile and enjoy all of your RPG playthroughs from heaven!
@@brendenhassler4613 - thank you so much. Cherish those moments and I encourage you continue.
my wife and I are yet to be successful with children, but we hope to do the same.
I suggest that you try some beginner level Dungeons and Dragons table top adventure games with her as well.
Can’t believe I played through this game multiple times back in the day and never knew about anti faeries and magic powder. 🤦🏻♂️
There's so much stuff in this game that it would be pretty well impossible for a single person to find everything without help or without spending waaay too much time trying everything.
Magic powder also works on the yellow blobs that turn you into bunny Link, but you have to be quick to about it (hitting them as soon as they appear).
I hear you, I only found out about that by accident in Link's Awakening.
I already knew about the anti-faeries, but I didn't know magic powder could be used on bees as well. It's cool that even though these guides are for casual players, they still have some info that even veteran players might not know!
it never ceases to amaze me when I find out how much people don't know about this game, that I thought was all common sense, assuming you had ever beaten it before.
1:33:17 -- can't believe just about everyone who covers kholdstare misses this little tidbit: for a fraction of the cost of constant fire rod spam on the shell, you can use the bombos medallion to immediately take off his icy shell. Then with plenty of magic power you can then spam the fire rod on the three eye things in part 2... Or use the sword. That's fine too
Played this through a thousand times.
LEGIT DIDNT KNOW THIS!!?
@@shawnking6753 yeah that's what I thought.. and was referring to
Bombos can also be used to get through the Ice Dungeon w/o the Firerod. Funny enough, I always used Bombos on Kholdstare because the game required you to use Ether and Quake elsewhere, so I thought that boss required it.
What about the turtle rock boss? It sure would be nice to take those first two heads out with a couple medallions.
@@shawnking6753 nope, gotta use the rods. My opinion: take out the ice head first. Not only does the ice linger for the whole battle but the fire rod shoots faster than the ice rod
This is legit the best thing about the weekends. It gives me the same joy I used to feel back in the days of good Saturday morning cartoons and Lucky Charms.
Thank you, good sir.
Thank you.
That's how I feel
Same here
O-kai 😺
I was surprised you avoided the bomb spiting tree after the first bomb it threw. You can speak to every tree that has eyes, they give more lore to the game and I think some may give you clues.
Always loved the end credits. Brings a tear to my eye when the original song plays.
Same
Even after all these years, I still remember how it felt seeing the credits roll, and hearing that music for the first time.
Same, beat it the other day and end credits made me cry ...powerful stuff.
O-kai
Saturday afternoon saved, yeah. Now getting some fresh coffee and enjoy more Zelda!
Yep. I'm doing a tour in Washington DC and I gotta stay with the coach so this means I got lots of time to watch UCBVG
1:25:34
Use the Pegasus Boots to charge to the bottom of the room, then make your way to the stairs in the upper left while the traps *_Slowly_* return to their starting positions.
Link to the past is a masterpiece, but this walkthrough is a masterpiece in itself. Great job!
I’ve been eagerly awaiting Part II! One of my favorite games from my teenage years!!
This Contra 3 and Turtles In Time were my go to
@Gambit Odsey so did i great times!
I always like to go straight for dungeon 4 in the dark world after the 1st so I can have the upgraded sword for the 2nd and 3rd dungeons!
I want to play through this game again and do that :)
@@Pants69 it makes tearing through those other 2 dungeons so satisfying, you totally should! It really tones down the difficulty of the 3rd dungeon with all the Gibdos (mummies) and Wall Masters (falling hands that take you back to the entrance).
Even better: add in dungeon 6 so you can get early access to the silver arrows and lvl4 sword!!!
You need to beat dungeons 5 and 6 in order for the dark world bomb shop to stock the super bomb
@@JPBrooksLive cool, man! I'll do both of these suggestions. Will definitely fix myself a nice cup of tea and start playing tomorrow after breakfast. :D
I do the same thing except I leave the temple once I get the hammer and then I do the same thing in the 4th once I get the titan mitt. Then I get the master sword tempered and then I go beat the temples in order.
Loved the reference to the old Raccoon’s cartoon. That was an underrated show. Great work, as always on this!
If you dont feel like constantly turning around to block the Eye Lasers in Turtle Rock, you can just charge your Sword and walk sideways. Just make sure your Shield is on the side where the Laser is coming from.
And that will be the right side unless your facing East. Link is a lefty so the shield is in his right hand.
I found the imprisoned maiden immediately suspicious back in the day as everyone without the cyrstal in the dark world takes on a twisted form but she did not.
Maybe the little girl _was_ blind's twisted form. Big bad thief on the outside, helpless little girl (sans the implied misogyny) on the inside.
The other clue is that the chest in her cell contains a key. Why didn't she just let herself out?
@@Neoprototype huh? Why would I lie?
@@katiepersons6575 Yeah I don't understand why people lie online.
some people are like that nowadays! Gotta scope with your third eye to see beyond the facade!
I've been waiting impatiently all morning for this! Best game of all time and an excellent walkthrough so far. Thank you for this.
A few helpful tips for this part of the game that weren’t mentioned, you can actually get through and beat the ice palace without the fire rod by instead using bombos on the ice golems and melting kholdstare, also the trigger to unlock the super bomb at the dark world bomb shop is having beaten both the ice palace and misery mire palace, with this information my preferred order to do the dark world dungeons is 1-4-6-5-2-3-7 this insures you’ll get the sword upgrades as soon as possible and can have the golden sword and blue mail for dungeons 2,3, and 7. I also do 6 before 5 because i like having the cane of somaria to skip the annoying block puzzle in the ice palace. just make sure to grab bombos and the 1/2 magic upgrade asap after dark palace and maybe some green potion for ice palace and it makes a really fun route!
There is an issue with this: Mothula is immune to the Level 4 sword, thanks to a bug in the game.
Also good to find the heartpices
Had no idea about the ones in the chestgame and diggame
@xanthamew. Irrelevant, as you can kill him with the fire rod as intended.
@@Xanthemew if you have the gold sword, then you have silver arrows. Silver arrows one shot most enemies.
Not a bad idea, but I still think 1-4-2-3-6-5-7 is optimal considering dungeons 2 and 3 aren't hard enough to justify delaying, imo.
My grandmom got me into video games and zelda was her game. I would watch her play this all the time and remember the day she beat it. That ending got to me. Alot of good memorys.
Was your granmom an ex hippie?
lol
Something that really helps in the ice dungeon is the Bomb Medallion, makes the rooms with the penguin guys really easy
Also, something that I used to do was finish the Misery Mire dungeon first to get the Cane of Somaria and use it to push the button near the end of the ice dungeon, so I could skip going around the dungeon
I've been playing this game over and over since it originally came out in the 90s, and I think this is the first time I've seen the ice dungeon done the "legitimate" way. I always do Misery Mire first.
I'm doing it exactly the same way. I always thought i was weird for doing that.
Also RE: Bombos medallion and Ice Dungeon, it takes out the boss's protective ice in 1 hit instead of 8 hits with the Fire Rod
Same here BUT on the GBA version of the game they changed the way that SWITCH Puzzle in the Ice Palace works so that you can't USE the Red Cane at all.
@@veghesther3204 oh man, I don't like that... It restricts how the player wants to go about beating the game and makes it more linear instead of open-ended, the way I prefer Zelda, honestly
My theory is that if a Wise Man had no descendant then the magic of that Wise Man simply would have disappeared from the world, and Agahnim would not have been required to offer up a maiden to break that part of the seal. Another possibility is that the Wise Man's magic would have returned to his respective temple, and then Agahnim would have been required to seek out a descendant of a more recent Sage from that temple, if not that existing Sage. So if the Wise Man of Fire had no descendants, Agahnim either would have offered up no one at all, or if an offering was required, it would have to be Darunia or Link. Goron Link, that is.
As for Zelda's comment about her always feeling that Link was the Legendary Hero, at the time this likely referred to when Link saved her in The Legend of Zelda. But since Ocarina of Time, this would refer to their meeting in the courtyard. That's why Ocarina of Time included dialogue about Zelda having a dream about Link appearing like a ray of light from the forest. It also explains why she was so quick to trust Link with the task of claiming the Triforce.
And yes, this is the fifth time Link has saved this Zelda. Once in Ocarina, once in the Oracle games, once in Legend of Zelda, Adventure of Link was a different Zelda, and twice in A Link to the Past.
2:16:16 I think you can use the Fire Rod to light that torch from the upper platform to reveal the path.
The Triforce grants all wishes of its wielder, not just one. Also, it wasn't explained in A Link to the Past, but Ganon never actually touched the Triforce in this game. Ocarina explains that simply entering the Sacred Realm will turn it good or bad depending on the person's heart. So the Essence of the Triforce, in context of the larger plot, was explaining that Ganon's wish to conquer the world is what turned the Sacred Realm into the Dark World. It was from there that Ganon planned to build his power, then send out his army to take over Hyrule as well.The fact Ganon was just a spirit means he couldn't touch the Triforce anyway, which is why its Essence says Ganon was trying to make his wish come completely true. Ganon also mentions this before the battle with Link.
Regarding Agahnim, I think the game implies that Agahnim was one of Ganon's underlings, and allowed Ganon's soul to possess him to augment his powers. That's why Ganon rises out of Agahnim's body when Link kills him. Ganon was a spirit in Link to the Past, which makes sense following Adventure of Link where he was dead and his minions were trying to resurrect him using Link's blood. This is why the Essence of the Triforce confirms to Link that he completely destroyed Ganon. Meaning, even Ganon's soul no longer exists since it was destroyed directly.
Ganon never broke through the Wise Men's seal. He was dead since Legend of Zelda, and merely contacted Agahnim as a spirit. Speaking with the dead is pretty common in the Zelda series. If you're asking about Ganon breaking out of the seal after the Wise Men cast it, the short answer is that Ganon wasn't sealed in the Dark World by the Wise Men. The long answer involves going through the various iterations of the Zelda timeline, which no one wants to read about.
Uh... I think the Zora just has multiple pairs of flippers for sale.
I think the implication of the Master Sword sleeping forever was that Ganon had been destroyed and the Sacred Realm turned into a paradise. And the seal was back in place, with the warps closed and those trapped in the Sacred Realm sent back to Hyrule. So there would never be any need to use the Master Sword again. Link to the Past is basically the end of the series, aside from side quests such as Link's Awakening.
You're making a lot of crucial mistakes here.
First off, Ganondorf is 100% *alive* in this game. That makes sense, as he killed Link in Ocarina of Time, took all three Triforce pieces and wished to rule the world, transforming the Golden Land into the Dark World (and Ganondorf into Ganon).
Some time later, when Hyrule had fallen into decay, the seven Sages sealed Ganon away in the Sacred Realm, after which it looked like peace and stability returned. However, people started learning about the Triforce and the entrance to the Golden land and started looking for it. None would return (probably due to the power of the Golden Land preventing them from using their weapons).
Then, evil power started flowing from the seal, a sign that it was weakening, and Ganon started influencing a priest called Agahnim to help him break the seal. He sets out to find the seven maidens, descendants of the seven Sages, and brings them one by one to Ganon, who then locks them up in the various palaces. This breaks the seal of the Sages, and Link has to stop him, before the seal opens wide enough for Ganon to pass through and attack Hyrule proper.
Link kills Ganon's body, but his spirit remains (because of Demise's curse), and eventually returns in the Oracle games, A Link Between Worlds, the Legend of Zelda, and Breath of the Wild (though he will have lost all his humanity by that time).
@@AO968 You're going off the horribly wrong Nintendo "timeline". Link never dies in any of the games, and if he did, there's nothing anyone could have done to stop Ganon in that case. If Ganon got all the Triforce parts, he would basically be a deity, and Zelda would have been dead, meaning no Seven Sages sealing anything away. The Nintendo "timeline" doesn't work. Throw it in the trash.
If the Seven Sages sealed the Dark World, then how did people fall into it and go missing? The Link to the Past backstory states people were getting lost in the Dark World before the Seven Wise Men sealed it, not after.
Yeah, you're mixing up the order of events. The backstory claims the Wise Men sealed the realm after Ganondorf entered it, and that after sealing it, the evil power no longer flowed from the realm into Hyrule.
No, the prologue states that Hyrule was plagued by cataclysms. The King ordered people to investigate the Wise Men's seal, but they found nothing wrong with it. Then Agahnim showed up and used magic to quell the cataclysms, and he was honored as a hero. That's how he insinuated himself into the King's inner circle. Turns out, he was the one causing the cataclysms in the first place.
If Ganon was alive, why didn't he just cross over into Hyrule immediately?
First, the Demise storyline is dumb. Second, even if you want to recognize Skyward Sword as canon, I think that game actually ends with Link obliterating Demise and his curse completely. I guess it's open to interpretation. But no, Link definitely destroys Ganon completely in A Link to the Past. The Essence of the Triforce says so.
The Oracle games take place after Majora's Mask, and before Legend of Zelda. That explains why Komue and Kotake are alive. They were never killed in the original timeline. If you think the Oracles follow the end of Ocarina of Time in a timeline where Link died, then you must admit Komue and Kotake died as well.
So yeah, we saw Ganon rise out of Agahnim's body. He was a spirit. Link to the Past also follows Adventure of Link, during which Ganon was dead and his minions were trying to resurrect him by getting Link's blood. If you think Legend of Zelda came after, you'd have to explain how he managed to get the Triforce of Power again.
Hate to break this to you, but when the writers made Wind Waker, they threw the entire Zelda timeline and it's lore right out the window. And the storyline has been nonsense ever since. Now the series is just a cash cow.
*_My god was this nostalgic af!_*
*_The Hookshot was my very favorite!!!_*
*_This was easily the most epic video game of all time! The creators were absolute geniuses!_*
Yes!! I waited all week for this!!! I played a little bit, and pressed pause and saved my game so I could pass you the controller to see how U Beat a Link To The Past.
The ending still gives me the feels to this day, 31 years later
One of the things that narrows down the flute without the good bee is that the boy mentions he buried it and planted some flowers. So you can just dig the parts of the grove that have flowers growing, which is still a little more time than the bee trick, but is a decent alternative to digging the whole darned place up.
I didn't even know the Good Bee showed the location of the Flute. I learned that from this guide!
1:32:00 One small thing you missed is that if you kill those ice enemies (the Freezors), a chest will spawn. While it just contains some bombs in the normal game, this is useful to know if you play this randomized, as I learned of this chest because it had something important for me.
EDIT: 1:43:50/1:44:50 Another smallish thing, in the room at 1:43:50, if you walk on the spikes you can lift the skull to reveal a switch that reveals a chest containing the last small key, so even if you waste a key, you can still get in the room.
Nicely edited and done video, btw :).
Been looking forward to this part2! Thanks for your hard work on these videos! :)
Completed this game when it was released but I am enjoying watching and listening to your playthru. Thank you sir.
The super bomb is available after Misery Mire is defeated, so it's best to get the Golden Sword and Silver Arrows before heading to Turtle Rock.
Please continue these type of games even after you are famous with 1m subscribers
Also for such an old snes game. The 3D tri force stuff was cool. The graphics in mario rpg(another fun one to go through) are crazy but I’m assuming it had other chips in it developed later. Links awakening would be cool Too but like I said I want a full blown oracle series of videos as well :).
Super Mario RPG had the SA1 chip but it was just a fast coprocessor, which would only improve frame rate.
@@davidmcgill1000 mario rpg didn’t really throw many polygons in the mix either now that I think of it. Can’t think of too many non fx chip games with polygons.
Watched the whole thing, despite constantly playing the original and randomizers, I even learned a couple of things like selling the good bee/fish to the bottle merchant, or turning Grandma into a fairy lol
Surprised you didnt get the ice rod before the desert palace - I think Nintendo Power recommended it as the rod works on the worm boss, 3 hits each.
Also surprised you didnt get the Butter Sword and Silver Arrows before Turtle Rock - the Super Bomb appears once link collects the 5th and 6th crystals.
Very well done guide, enjoyable background watch while playing other games. Thanks!
If you time it right,you can hit Agahnim with all 3 energy balls,essentially doing triple damage
This is a stunningly good video in terms of accessibility. I am visually impaired and your narration of what's going on, not just the exhausting "now go here, do this, do that, *irrelevant sidebar while I keep playing and doing things*" stuff is so welcome and welcoming. You even 'read' the cut scenes without explicitly reading everything -- these natural summaries are wonderful as well.
You could've gotten the golden sword aka your Level 4 sword and Silver Arrows before coming to the Turtle Rock.
Most who play this game do
Actually, the Master Sword DOES "sleep again forever."
This is the Imprisoning War Timeline, and after this game, Hyrule enters a period of decline. The original Zelda game and Zelda II, both of which come after this one do NOT feature the Master Sword. So while the Master Sword may be important in other timelines, not so much here.
A caveat on this is A Link Between Worlds, which is the sequel to ALttP. I've seen the theory that the ending scene for this game takes place AFTER that game.
Understanding Zelda's timeline might require a Ph.D. in Quantum Mechanics.
@@CharlesUrban indeed
@@CharlesUrban Try figuring out the Sonic the Hedgehog timeline. It can be daunting.....
@@CharlesUrban But theorising about the timeline is soooo entertaining :D
How does the Master Sword "sleep forever" if you pull it again in A Link Between Worlds?
Brings back more than just memories
I love your videos and THIS game is a masterpiece that I have beaten a few times. Its so nice to watch you play and Im like oh yeah I remember that. It is great to refresh my mind in this game
I loved the dark world music as well as the boss music in this game..time to load up my snes emulator
I wish I could go back and experience this game for the first time again. Definitely one of my all-time favorites.
I’m playing it for first time. By chance I got the game right before he released the first video.
Still playing it first, but when I get stuck I’ve watched. It’s fun to make errors and search through.
I was very young but it was the most captivating game I ever played.
O-kai 😺
Not sure you’ll see this, but your videos bring joy during a time in my life where I am really struggling on many fronts. Sounds silly, but thank you.
It isn't silly, Erick, we all go through rough patches, and tbh, I am going through one right now as well, and UCBVG is absolutely something I look forward to on Saturdays as well. I wish you all the best, and want you to know that some random TH-cam commenter is rooting for you.
@@FallingXion Thank you, your encouragement is welcomed. Hope your struggles cease sooner rather than later. I rarely post any comment and don’t have social media, so its cool to hear from others in a community like this.
Cool playthrough. I really enjoyed this. I thought I knew a lot of secrets to the game but you showed some more. I am really enjoying this channel and thanks for doing all of these playthroughs.
I found this game in a pawn shop about 10 years ago (never had it as a kid) I took a week off work to play it and my save file got corrupted at the last dungeon! I got a SNES mini just to play this game and managed to finish it in one sitting! Only found out recently about "anti fairies" with the magic dust, son of a...!!!!

PSA:
Once when I was playing (unfortunately on a saveless/deathless run) I was doing the flute quest, and lock/crashed the game. I don't recall exactly how it happened, but I know that my mirror transport was too close to the flute boy's stump. I ended up triggering the small vanishing cut scene right as I entered the light world, which locked and crashed my game.
UCBVG directly contradicts this in this video, but just sayin, I wouldn't risk it, and transport further away from stumpy boy ;)
"Sadly the priest isn't there to refill your hearts....that guy's dead..." All of your videos are great but that made me crack up and may be your finest moment!
Oh yeah! Let's do this. One of my top 3 SNES games. I'm curious as to how to beat it in 3 minutes.
love that intro
For the first time I knew what video would be coming and I was so excited to see it. Love your channel brother. I had no idea about the magic bee. I still remember digging forever to find the flute. Lol. This is still my favorite game ever and I didn’t know a half dozen tricks or so
A cross-dressing thief in a Videogame?? How did Nintendo let that go thru lol
Still say best Zelda and in history
Great run
I can't wait to watch this in full! By the way, I too prefer to do the Gargoyle's Doman second in the Dark World- I like to get the TItan's Mitt, and the Tempered Sword, as soon as possible. The Titans Mitt opens up a lot of the map, and the Tempered Sword helps in combat.
And what if I told you.. you can clear dungeon 5 and 6 and then get the super bombs early and then you get early access to the silver arrows and lvl4 sword
@@adventureoflinkmk2 Oh sweet! I didn't know that you could get it that early! I thought that the first six dungeons all had to be cleared before the super bomb appears.
@@co81385 nope, I looked it up, and the pre-requisites for super bomb are dungeons 5 and 6 cleared.

I already mastered this game many, many years ago, but this has been a charming stroll down Memory Lane! We appreciate these videos, TLoZ:ALttP is a classic. As usual, you expertly showed off as many details as possible, including a couple of little extra nuances that (as long as I've known this game) even I didn't know about. Triforce of the Gods/A Link to the Past is easily one of the most important games to the Zelda series, if not the most important. With its introduction of so many series staples such as the Hookshot and a generally more fleshed out narrative compared to its two predecessors. While not a series-wide or console-wide favorite of mine, I still find it rather enjoyable to play through every few years or so. This is actually the first Zelda game I ever played! Thanks for this comprehensive guide as always, I'm sure you've helped out quite a few people who might be new to this game, and made some new fans. See you next time!
19:09 - Stand right next to the shopkeeper. Fire an arrow whenever a squid exactly lines up with the second to last curtain. You'll never miss.
33:50 - It seems the devs intended for you to use the hookshot on the torches to get through the room faster, if you happen to have that already.
38:33 - You talk about refilling your health while walking right past the fortune teller, who does exactly that!
48:28 - This chest will have the magical boomerang if you don't already have it.
58:40 - If you visit the switch room first and lower the blue blocks, you can get back to the switch faster after grabbing the key.
59:35 - You can just slash the switch through the wall
1:00:55 - Irrelevant in the vanilla game, but fun trivia: if you're playing a randomizer and you already have the hookshot here, you can hookshot right over to the other ledge without having to go upstairs again!
1:02:25 - Walk the loop first, then push the block, and you won't have to walk the whole loop twice.
1:22:14 - Penguins are weak to the hookshot.
1:23:38 - If you toss a bomb over the orange blocks so that it lands at the bottom-right corner of the cracked floor, it will hit the switch and blow open the floor at once.
1:25:58 - If you don't bother with the key until coming back, you won't have to walk over the spikes.
1:26:19 - Surprisingly a lot of people don't know that you can use the powder on one of those yellow things that turns you into a bunny (sometimes called bunny beams), and it will turn into a fairy!
1:29:25 - Beat Misery Mire first, and bypass the whole puzzle with Somaria.
1:31:04 - If you would have killed the ice monsters in the room to the left earlier, a chest would have appeared. You could have hookshotted to that chest as a huge shortcut, even avoided revisiting the "very obnoxious room". In fact, if you would have gotten the blue mail the first time, you could have used this shortcut regardless.
1:33:22 - Use Bombos to skip Kholdstare's first phase entirely.
1:48:51 - Are you... are you... going to Turtle Rock BEFORE getting the gold sword? Why???? The pink bomb appears as soon as you have crystals 5 and 6.
1:55:55 - It's much easier to light all the torches quickly, then hookshot onto one of the torches to fall into the pit and respawn at the door.
2:04:00 - Much easier to hold out your sword, which holds your shield at your side, to block the lasers.
2:04:20 - Bomb the wall at the bottom of the room to go outside. The point of going outside is that you'll respawn at this entrance if you die.
2:08:26 - To get the pink bomb to the pyramid, it's much faster to mirror, take it across the bridge north of link's house, and use the Hyrule Castle gate portal.
2:15:02 - The intended method is to use the Cane of Somaira to hit the switch remotely.
2:16:40 - The pots are there so you can bonk on them from the other side to jump across the pit and skip the whole invisible maze. But if you really must cross the maze, light the torch with the fire rod first.
2:27:46 - is this the first time you realized you can powder the bunny beams?
2:45:00 - Also important to note that fairy revivals will count against you, too.
Now find the 3/4 Magic Bar.
Jesus. Make your own video.
Been waiting all week for part two to start my own trip back down memory lane lol.
I was wondering can you make a video dragon quest 2, 3 and 4? That would be awesome because I never got around to playing them all the way!!!!
Watching these videos is like a toll free call to the nintendo power tip line.
Do Willow for the NES!
I really like how you can give a super informative walk through while staying entertaining at the exact same time (which you don’t see very often anymore) I followed both your walkthroughs and finished the whole game in one sitting. You make probably the best walkthroughs I have ever seen
Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of your videos with us all and they really come in handy when playing and getting stuck somewhere. This guide and part one is and was a really big help. This is the first time I'm playing any kind of Zelda game and I'm hooked on the Zelda games thanks to your channel 😂. Your Super Star Wars guides also helped alot too thank you again for posting these guides please keep them coming. Your channel is the best. Have a great day my friend and thank you again.
UCBVG is the best gaming channel on TH-cam, no one else does a full playthrough with tips and tricks and even goes back to play a section twice or more to show you other options.
This was one of my favorite games growing up. Makes me so nostalgic. Also so interesting now with the randomizer of this game keeps it popular today. You should also do super metroid. Another great and difficult session game. Great video can't wait to see more.
This game and super metroid are still my "go to" games after all these years.
This was truly the golden age of video games.
Great video by the way
Thank you for another great video
By the way, you really should do Super Metroid as a video.
Bought this game back when I was in high school. I was so excited when I beat it and as the credits rolled, I hoped there would be a second quest.
So a question: Has anyone ever been able to kill those squirrel looking things on Death Mountain? The creatures that turn to stone when you hit them?
You can only kill them if you use the magic powder or quake medallion, it will turn them into those yellow slime enemies that can be killed in one hit.
Quick heads-up: the strange enemies (looks like a cluster of stars) can also be turned into faeries, if you use the magic powder on them as soon as they're revealed (but before they start moving). Or, if you know one's hidden in a skull/under a block, use the magic powder before you pick it up (the block/skull).
Keep up the great work you can beat video games! This game is still one of the best and will always be the best of classics for the SNES
What an awesome, in depth walk through! This is my childhood, I watched my older brothers play this game & always thought to myself I can never complete this game. But now we have a NES & will try it out! I think this is the best video game ever made, especially at the time it was released. Thank you for making Part 1 & this part 2 video.
You can also use the Bombos magic to defeat the first form of Kholdstare instantly instead of using the fire rod.
LttP is one of my favorite games of all time. I've probably legitimately played it through it dozens of times. For me, Dark World dungeon order is 1, 4, 2, 3, 6, 5, 7, 8. Obviously as you showed in the video getting the Level 3 sword early helps a lot with 2 & 3. And I don't care for the block stuff in 5, so I grab the Cane of Somaria from 6 first and use that to make 5 easier/faster.
Could you consider a second channel where you mute in game music and sound and only have your voice. Some of us struggle to hear music and voices and relax
In Turtle Rock 2B the southernmost room, the eye beam room with numerous chests, you can also charge your sword so your shield is always facing the eyes while you loot the chests.
Also, you could've upgraded your sword to the rank 4 Golden Sword and arrows to silver arrows before Turtle Rock.
I bet this game for the first time the other day. Sadly when you started your guide I was on Dungeon 6 😭😭. Thanks for all you do.
Best walkthroughs on the internet. I can already beat video games, but UCBVG is so thorough and fun to watch. And I always learn 2 or 3 things I didn't now.
11:24 But don't we all have an obvious vulnerable spot on our faces?
ALSO 2:35:28 if you accidentally go too far to the right, the game will bring you into another room, but it's no big deal, just step back into the room to the left and you should be right on track to hold up and reach the ending. That's what I've found, anyway.
I remember playing this game when it came out, I could not for the life of me figure out the water temple. I thought my game was bugged or I had not found the item to get past the entrance. Until LTTP was rereleased on GBA I took a shot in the dark and drained the swamp in the light world and was shocked it worked. Yes, I would agree that the mechanic would have been better more times throughout the game. That way players could understand that it was another option. But just to have it only happen once was a pain.
i love this game, i didnt know about the bees,esp selling the good bee
I played a really fun Adventure Time game on PSVita that was very much based on A Link to the Past, a true tribute with a lot of it's own fun, challenge and humor to offer, not just a new franchise repaste
The super bomb (and therefore the silver arrows and golden sword) actually unlocks before Turtle Rock dungeon. The actual requirement is having rescued the swordsmith and defeated the bosses of both the Ice Palace and Misery Mire. I've played through LttP so many times at this point that I like to save as many bosses as possible until after getting the silver arrows, because all boss monsters that aren't immune to arrows take massive damage from them.
Another great video, keep up the good work!
AKA a "pilfer run" where you pilfer all the treasures before beating the stuffings out of the helplessly weak bosses.
Say what you will about Ganon, he's a boss that believes in second chances.
"da fountain of happinezz* yall anit even fixen 2 uze all Dem bomz an arrowz, 20 bomz, an 20 arrowz datz enough 😽 datz all,😺 goin bak & 4th, by da tyme i get 2 weer im goin, id been don had alot of bomz an arrowz frm pickin up potz and mo, otha dan dat, good job😺
I bought Zelda ALTTP when it first came out in 1992. The SNES was really MY system growing up and to this day. By far the very best in my opinion, and getting in on the ground floor with it (unlike the NES it took me about 4 years to get), I was completely engulfed in its whole era and works. It’s actually still the only system that I still have my original of, with its box and all paperwork, along with 5 of my favorite games, also in perfect condition with their boxes. But Zelda for SNES was the game that I knew EVERYthing about. Despite how deep a game it was and still is. That being said, my mind was totally blown that I discovered just two new things about it in your video. One, the “Good Bee”. I never ever even heard of that, or that it could be used to fight the moth boss or show you the area to dig for the flute. Second, while I always found the Cane of Bryna, I never found too much use for it. I was just a completionist and got it. But using it on the moth boss, or a few others to avoid damage while also getting a few extra hits in addition to your sword? Brilliant! I probably knew 99.999% of every trick, strategy, and item in this game, but it blows my mind that after 30 years and playing it completely through countless times, that there was still something I didn’t know. But in my defense, I never bought strategy guides, it was a pre-internet time when this came out, and I just liked discovering everything on my own.
I’ve beaten this game dozens of times and never knew some of the things shown. The “good bee”, the net trick, etc. cool stuff!
This is such a cool game. But I wouldn't want to play it without someone walking me through it. It's just too time consuming otherwise. So, thanks for this video.. really helped alot!
Ok... gotta be honest, never had the idea of using the Golden (Good) Bee to figure out the location of the shovel... I mean, the flute, seems like I still have to learn new stuff on most games I have already played so far.
I’ve beaten this game 1000 times yet I just watch your videos hahahah
2:03:47 just a tiny addition to this part of the strategy to not getting a laser hitting you as you attempt to go back to the middle...
if you are charging for a circle sword swipe, you are holding your shield to the side, with the mirror shield equipped, you can still stop the beams from hitting you without having to play a game of Rhythm Heaven just to safely make it back in one piece
Came here to say the exact same thing
Secret of Mana would be awesome.
Heck yes, BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. can’t wait to watch this later. Thanks!
Okay, something I didn't know until this video. The Turtle Rock boss, I thought you had to only use magic against the fire/ice heads. I beat this game in the early '90s and I always hated that boss because I thought it took way too much magic to beat. Nice to know it isn't so bad.
I beat this whole game a few years ago and I was proud asf cause I almost gave up on it as a child cause I had no strategy guide for it back then
No hook shot in botw had me depressed. Also I don’t think it’s in either of the oracle games. Something similar tho in those.
I'm also disappointed you never used the hammer to smash the pots/skulls.
It took me two days, but I slowly made my way through the video.
Honestly, having something like this to watch in my free time has been wonderful. Thank you!
Please do dragon warrior 2 PLEASE
I've beaten this multiple times. Never did it the way you did though. I never knew the Cane of Byrna was so useful and I've never used the cape to it's full effect either.
She needs the intercom now because it’s the dark world? No? Regardless, these Link to the past episodes have been fantastic man!
Maybe it's because she's imprisoned in a crystal #SpoilerAlert
@@adventureoflinkmk2 oooooooh yeah good call hahahahah. I haven’t played it in many, many years!!
i had…never…used the hammer on the helmosaur king. 😂😂😂 i had only ever used bombs. it should have been obvious to me, but….this dungeon also took me a massive amount of time to work through
