If you land the finishing blow on Ganondorf while wearing the Iron Boots, Link still wears them in the following cutscene.
He moves unencumbered by them, yet they stil make a loud clang with each step he takes. Which is great when he runs up the hill to meet Midna.
Combine that with the Magic Armor without any Rupees
@@silverman1205
"how are you moving so fast in that stuff?"
link: shear force of will
Dude I need to see this, please tell me there’s a video online lmao
@@nightmarepotato343 I second that. That’d be amazing to see.
@@soulreapermagnum nah link would say somthing like HYAH!
Me: "Zeltik has such a way with words."
Zeltik: "Retail kamehameha wave."
This should be a final smash
Maybe we can get a downfall timeline link in smash and its final smash is
Retail kamehameha wave...
Now i don’t mean to be rude. But as someone who has watched Dbz (i don’t doubt many of You have) i personally and honestly Think that just looks a Teensy bit more like a Specialbeam cannon
@@henrikfoersom9649 retail beam cannon? 2for1 special beam cannon?
boa c OR! How about This: RETAILBEAM CANON? Ehhhh?
CzsWorld I love your content cool seeing you comment on others videos !!
Seeing as Ganondorf is the same dude across most of the games you'd think he'd stop using Dead Man's Volley against Link eventually.
"No it's a different guy this time. There's no way I'll be bested again"
What an amazing leader
Maybe he was a failed badminton player and could never let that go.
@@goggles8691 "hmmm, what if this time it works?"
-ganondorf
It's even worse considering in Ocarina of Time alone, he had Phantom Ganon use it against Link first, saw it fail, and then tried to do the same tactic again when he faces Link for real in the same game.
In his off time Ganondorf is a great sqush player just wants to show off his skills
Also, the women in Castle Town resemble races from Ocarina of TIme.
Telma is a Gerudo, the Fortune Teller is Sheikah, Agitha is Kokiri.
Oh hey what are you doing here?
On the Zeldapedia fandom it says Agitha's race is Hylian but I think I would agree with you
@@Joey-dl6nm they're all Hylian, they just have a passing reassemblance to other races
A couple missed:
-In the cutscene before you fight the Final Boss, when Ganondorf is standing up from his throne, the tune that plays is the same as the tune that plays when you enter Ganon's room in the original Legend of Zelda (Albeit altered slightly at the end)
-There's a Bullet Bill on Fyer's sleeve
the wolf stone thing is literally one of the first things he mentions. He doesnt go into detail about them as they are well known already.
@@GL_099 Sorry, guess I missed it. Fixed.
Theres also the chime at the beginning of the Puppet Zelda fight. Its the same chime that starts the theme of the ganondorf battle from OOT.
He also missed that in the goron mines in the chambers of the elders, there‘s one of the sacred stones of OoT at each elders place
@@exschweizer Really?
I miss Twilight Princess. Hope we’ll get a Switch version!
I love TP as much as the next guy, but that would mean that Twilight Princess would be on every single console since the *Gamecube* . Not a single game that I can think of has gotten that treatment for any console except for maybe Skyrim.
I hope too !
@@skyler6987 as my fav zelda game and not owning the wiiu I can only dream
Even if it does, I still wouldn't buy a switch. Unless the Heavy from TF2 gets added to Smash.
@@skyler6987 Resident Evil 4
I don't know that he's a Beedle reference, due to the fact that he downright hates those twilight bugs
Xargen Tel'Nada
Uh...I think even Agatha would draw the line at those things
It's probably either meant as a contrast to Beedle's love for bugs, or it calls attention to the unnatural nature of the twilight bugs. Same as how florists dislike plastic flowers, for instance.
But yeah, he's a very obvious Beedle reference. Hairstyle and clothes aside, they've got the exact same posture.
I’m pretty sure he’s a Jayden Smith reference. Looks just like him
Xargen Tel'Nada well yeah but there not your every day insects
Ikey Ilex
...I would admittedly like to meet a Lion...
*5 seconds before disaster*
...well I mean I never said it was *advisable*
The most powerful weapon: The Master Bottle
Stop.
Such a thing would tear the continent asunder!
Catriam Flockentanz
Nah. We’d just use it to scoop all the Malice Goop out of Ganondorf then have Zelda blast it. No more cycle, no more threat of Demise returning in full OR possessing a much weaker vessel and turning him into PigGanon
Anonymous Fellow no
You need the bug net for demise
The bottle only beats ganon
the commenter
... Only the true hero can use it properly!
master torch
"No wonder these things are so rare in Zelda games." That line cracked me up because it's kinda true. With an empty bottle, anyone can take on Ganon/Ganondorf. Maybe he sends his monsters and minions to destroy as many bottles as he can before each game so that no one can challenge him. I got an image of him trapped in a giant bottle unable to escape. That leads to him being dressed like a fairy. These thoughts are making me so happy right now.
Well that, and glass is likely rare in Hyrule
You can also beat his third phase with the fishing rod.
Icalasari the gerude just don’t like to trade sand for anything
I’m scared now
Poor tingle, that explains why he thinks he's a fairy, he got trapped in a glass bottle when he was younger. His father probably smashes ever bottle he finds out of anger.
In addition, I've always believed that the visibly female monkey in the Forest Temple, with her hibiscus flower, was a visual reference to Marin.
Birdie Senpai
Nah, probably an extremely obscure easteregg for Oracle of Ages:
After you rescue Nayru, the Forest of Time in the present (starting area east of Lynna City) will have one screen full of monkeys, one of which is coded as female and sports a hibiscus flower
@@anonymousfellow8879 good call out!
thats a good point I never thought of that lol
@@anonymousfellow8879 And what do you think that single monkey with the hibiscus flower is in reference to - Marin from Link's Awakening. She's always been depicted as having the hibiscus flower. So it's still technically a reference to Marin.
4:55 I imagine this is what everyone who works in retail wishes they could do
*Breaking News: Shoplifting rates drop to 0%*
I have worked in retail for 4 days now and yes, i want to.
I saw the thumbnail and just clicked. I've always believed that the guy that runs the clawshot game was supposed to be a throwback to Tingle. I feel like he would look even creepier if he was the Tingle we've seen in Majora's Mask and Wind Waker
Some good old Twilight Princess content is definitely appreciated. Interesting little references.
Hitting the energy back with the bottle in Ocarina of Time is itself a call back to A Link to the Past where you can hit the energy balls back with the bug catching net.
In ALttP you use the net to place items like fairies and insects into the bottles.
However in the same way OoT did away with using the net to catch things and then putting them in bottles, instead just using the bottle itself. So too does the Dead Man's Volley also do away with the net and directly uses the bottle.
Oh you are right. It was called the bug catching net. I called it the butterfly net above since it's called that way in the German translation... which I played first.
Exploiting collision detection can be fun.
Also the bottle trick works in Wind Waker
And the bug net in a link between worlds.
I think my favorite detail is how the forest Temple was clearly once the home of the Kokiri, that's since been abandoned and thus overran by nature and monsters.
That’s definitely one of my favorite parts of the entire game. It’s kind of chilling. Like, at some point after OoT, they lived in this big temple and now they are completely gone. Like, what happened?
I was alway thinking that the Forest Temple in TP is actually the remains of the Great Deku Tree from OoT. The foggy area in Faron Woods with all the wooden ruins, is maybe used to be the village in Kokiri Forest, which was demolished once. So the Kokiri were forced to find shelter in their once lived father's dead corpse (or whatever left of it) to struggle there until they finally died out/vanished/turned into koroks and started to play hide n' seek...
I love love LOVE it when I see new Twilight Princess content. Fave game EVER
Yeah TPHD is my favorite game of all time. Glad to see another :D
Same!
Huzzah, a woman of quality.
I've never played Twilight Princess HD, but I've played the original.
The original is better tbh 🤷♂️
Last time I was this early, Lon Lon ranch wasn’t destroyed!
i laughed way too hard at this
You should be a comedian
@11:53 the bottle technique in OoT was itself a reference to being able to use the Bug Net in aLttP during the Agahnim fight.
Another reference is the Goron mines theme you can hear the gorons lullaby
8:42 "Following the classic progression of Fire, Forest, then Water." You sure about that, Zeltik?
TheHonestLiar
It’s the case for Windwaker. Since TotG was *almost* a water level. You have to cruise and swim around for the first third, anyway
Anonymous Fellow but the first dungeon is usually a Forest dungeon, it's the case for most Zelda games.
Forest, Fire, Water, Desert, Ice, Time, Sky
@Manek Iridius I've played twilight princess before, and there is not 5 dungeons
Got to say, the musical Easter Eggs in TP are pretty awesome. Not only do you get one of the most calming songs from OOT but also one of the best boss battle themes as well! Can't wait for The Wind Waker and Majora's Mask episodes!!! 💖
2:02 Tell that to the Carnies who operate the cannon.
XD you made me snort my cereal
Those two are honestly the creepiest part of TP.
One of them looks like an AU good Kefka.
I think my favorite musical reference (obvious though it may be) is that, when you enter Hyrule Castle, you hear a version the Hyrule Castle theme from A Link to the Past. And then as you ascend the castle it gradually fades away in favor of Ganon's leitmotif (which I believe also originates in A Link to the Past).
Wall placards by entrance to Hyrule Castle show a history of a young Link meeting other races, including Rito! These placards are found in other places in castle town.
Shaz is a reference to Mako from Wind Waker, both hide daggers in their books!
Pictures of Raaru and Rutella hang on the walls of the Yeti mansion. Nobody could tell who it was until the HD release came out.
The fancy castle town shop has statues of Raaru on the walls.
On Ganondorf's armor you can see a version of a young Link fighting a large bird. People think it's Wind Waker Link fighting the Helmaroc King. Until the HD version came out, nobody could tell it was there!
Me and my friend always referred to the "dead mans volley" as Magic Ping Pong.
I've always heard "Ganon Tennis." That might be a choice of the old in-print Versus Books Strategy Guides, though.
How about 'magic baseball'?
Yasssss man, always love a Twilight Princess video! Really enjoyed this one, I knew most of these as I'm TP crazy but I didn't know about the Beedle or Bird one :)
Perfect timing, i just got done replaying TP 😂
That one clone who Punched a droid and died same but for the first time almost put in 75hrs
Same, fantastic game
Nice. I haven’t played it since 2012 or so.
Nice what console?
OnTheArchipelago wii, this is like my 20th play through and even after 100 percenting it, it just never gets old for me
Another tie between the two that's pretty neat, in the fourth dungeon in each game, the forest temple and arbiter's grounds, you have to chase down four Poe's in order to re light lamps and move forward!
The way you eloquently narrate your videos just adds to their overall quality. Great work man!
Gor Amoto also was inspired by an old concept for a Wind Waker island . The original island design featured a larger design to the stovetop isle in game, a village with a goron of a similar design who enjoyed tobacco, and was the home of the wandering goron traders.
Yes, Zeltik covered that... yesterday I think? Maybe two days ago. I'm kinda surprised he didnt reference it here.
Max Mustermann Couldn’t recall if it was him or that Hyrulian Historian guy who mentioned it before.
"Tingle wouldnt mix with TPs dark atmosphere and themes" oh my god Zeltik, not you too! Did you forget TP has literal clowns, floating baby heads that make funny sounds, a doctor with GIGANTIC glasses, goofy fat guards, a hippie, etc? TP didnt have Tingle simply because they wanted to target NA audience and they hated Tingle.
They had those clowns, they could've easily added tingle and it would not have felt out of place at that point :'D
people really do forget how many goofy characters are in Twilight Princess
Stallord is one of my favorite boss fights from LoZ, but I never made the OoT connection. Makes me love it even more!
"Stallord is a remix of the Death Mountain bosses"
*_And Fyrus._** And Fyrus* is a remix of that.
It's just in that one, it's a different part of the original song and comes in towards the end of a loop.
Consistantly the most engaging Zelda content in the internet
if I recall correctly, you can also play dead man's volley with a fishing net in a Link to the Past.
It is a butterfly net. I was amazed that Zeltik noted "for whatever reason" when talking about the bottles. The butterfly net could be used "for whatever reason" like a tennis racket or rather a lacrosse stick against Agahnim. Since the net was dropped for OoT and one could catch bugs directly with the bottle they placed this ingame joke that one could equally fo the other part with the bottle, too.
Michael Klaus this was referenced in skyward sword
Demise could be fought with the bugnet to shoot back his anti-skyward-strikes.
Trank you. Twilight Princess is my favorite game.
Same!
I thought they left out tingle because he*is* a little green bloke in spandex who thinks he's a fairy?
No
They left him out because survival of the fittest.
Not everyone can make it in hyrule when ganon never died.
Maybe if they had used a bottle in Skyward Sword, there would be yet another timeline where Ganondorf doesn't become the vessel for Demise.
Serenade of water was my favorite ocarina theme so I was glad to hear it in TP, along with other themes.
And, as I listened a lot to my ol' OOT CD, I instantly fell in love with the boss fight in Arbiter's grounds, which was the most immersive temple already.
I think the goron with the brown paint on himself is a reference to various re-deads... It's just a hunch though. The way he sits reminds me of how some of them sits in wind waker, and the chant he does when in the kakoriko village reminds me of the chants they do in OOT where in that game is also where you'd first see a re-dead.
He even screams after he's done chanting
3:48 that bird be clippin tho
I’d love to see you talk about Hyrule Warriors!
I love the Twilight Princess version of Serenade of Water so much, I let it wake me up in the morning for an entire year. 🌊💙 one of my faves
Having worked in retail, you have no idea how much I wish I could kamehameha thieves.
I adore the soundtrack of this game
(By the way midna terrifies me) hahah hahahah
postscript:
I actually speak German but I love your videos.
Hey sameee. Wie gehts? Was ist dein Lieblings Zelda Game ?
Hallo mein kamerad
@@minyoonca5187 Ausgezeichnete Frage, zu Beginn mag ich "Twilight Princess" Es ist wunderbar
Und Ich persönlich mag "Breath of the Wild" nicht sehr.
David camilo Mellafe meza Interessant. “Twillight Princess” ist mein absolutes Lieblings Zelda Spiel, vor allem weil ich viel Zeit damit verbracht Bad es gemeinsam mit meinem Bruder zu spielen. Außerdem komm ich mit der Steuerung aus “Breath of the Wild” nicht wirklich klar und ich vermisse die typischen Zelda Elemente. Dürfte ich fragen woher du kommst?
@@minyoonca5187 Ich komme aus Württemberg, bin bei meinen Eltern In Berlin und denke, dass die neuen Zelda-Spiele mehr Geschichtehaben sollten als der Versuch, eine typische Formel zu haben, Dein antword Es Ist ausgezeichnete.
I feel like there's an even more direct -- and even more obscure -- reference to Tingle, all the way over in the Snowpeak Ruins, in the foyer. Once you've taken out the annoyances in the vicinity, go up stairs to the first landing, and check out the portraits. One should look rather like Tingle, if blurry.
Speaking of musical references -- and A Link to the Past -- there's Kakariko Village. While TP Kakariko Village doesn't use the same theme as the village of the same name in ALttP, the TP one's musical track starts with a little riff that is almost certainly a reference to it.
4:59 didn't think to see my boss in screen
Love these vids dude keep em coming
So you're saying the strongest character in the entire Zeldaverse is a shopkeeper...?
It gives so much sense that TP has alot of references from Oot since those two Links are related
I finally recognized the melody in your intros! It's the song that plays when you meet the Wind Sage (forgot the name and I'm still at the Earth Temple).
Omg from what game?! Been looking for the song forever
@@MatsuHama Wind Waker. Thought I put that, but I guess I forgot to.
6:31 is my morning alarm
Thanks for the entertainment man! Love these videos and the Zelda series Ofcourse., thanls for making this quarantine much better... be safe Dude!!!!!!
I fully agree with you about Coro being a reference to Beedle, since I missed his name when I played it growing up and just called him Beedle
Goron mines is such a good dungeon, very under rated in my opinion.
Aaaa I loved this video, references are one of my favorite things in tloz!!! 💝 Great work with all of these!
I love your voice. It's so calming. Perfect vor voice overs. You should consider doing podcasts or something. Listening to you is really nice! :)
Great video like always
9:16 I wonder if Gor Liggs has this colouration due to learning some ways of the Sheikah. He sits in a meditative pose similar to monks in BotW, has clairvoyant abilities, stays in Kakariko Village, the Sheikah are referred to as the “Shadow Folk”, and his Goron emblem on the shadow side also has a similar colouration to the Sheikah Eye.
Also interesting that his navel area looks like a hand was placed there with the thumb extending all the way up to his head.
Links ultimate weapon: an empty bottle, used to deflect dark magic back at the user
Koro definitely reminded me a lot of beedle, so i thought it was just me!
great job with those musical remix references
I loved the scratchy fishing bowl owner detail! So much care into the story!
Just great stuff man
Me: Having a bad day
Zeltik: NOPE!!!
Hope you're feeling better :)
Jade Black thank you for that nice comment much appreciated as one of my family members died but still thank you
@@Oliver-wm8nb I'm sorry to hear that. I'm glad I can help :)
Very interesting. Keep it up.🙂 I need more stuff to watch while I'm stuck at home.
The beedle/corro theory makes sense, and I love the trill attacking link connection to link's awakening. Also, dead man's volley is also an attack that phantom ganondorf used in wind waker.
And A Link to the Past with Agahnim vs the Bug Catching Net.
@@ChaoticHoly Oh! I'm still in the process of playing A Link to the Past so I wasn't aware of that. Thanks!
That's what I'm talking about! Great vid man! Thank yoooou! 👍👍👍
I just adore your Easter eggs and references videos 😍
I enjoy how you never say it's fact and can be up for debate, it shows you are a pro at this stuff, as a zelda fan i enjoy these videos, subscribed and liked!
i really do love that death tennis is a recurring thing in zelda
Twilight princess is one of my favorite games of all time and i love the music inputs this video really made my day
my friend I don't know how you keep finding content to make on Zelda games but I commend you on this!
Thank god your cover this. No one talks about Twilight Princess. I feel like its the most Zelda game thats forgotten but its by far my favourite Zelda Ever. Not putting it lightly. I wish i still had it for my Wii
You deserve more subs. Been watching your stuff for a while
Twilight princess content? All day my friend all day.
Really love your videos 😊
You need to upload on a daily basis, your videos brighten up my day so well . Just by listening to your voice and this amazing details of an awesome game .
i know how you feel, but these videos take time to make and he can't just come up with a topic daily, and if he did, the quality of the videos would suffer tremendously and so would his channel.
@@joseph-ni5ul I know I just wanted to show how much I love his stuff
Keep in mind (don't know if I'm spelling this right), Koro from Faron Woods also sits in a similar way to Beedle in Windwaker. I'm mentioning this specifically because Windwaker came directly before Twilight Princess.
Regarding the boss fight in TP against Zelda: many of her attacks in TP are used in Hyrule Warriors. Zelda, when using her Rapier weapon moveset, has access to two attack strings one infused with light, one without. One of her early combos when infused with light will make her form am orb of light and toss it at enemies, like the deadmans volley attack. And one of her later combo attacks when infused with light forms the massive glowing triangle below her and destroying enemies around her.
Also she is capable of summoning the light bow and arrows with her Rapier moveset, for both her light infused attacks and special attacks, the light bow she uses is the same one Zelda uses in Twlight Princess.
This is so relaxing.
Thank you thank you thank you, I love Twilight Princess so fuggin much 🥺❤️
You know what I just realized the entirety of Twilight Princess is a zelda reference. It has link in it and zelda and the master sword.
Where do you draw the line between an Easter Egg and a reused feature?
If you go too far along this path you'd end up with the Bow being an EasterEgg towards the first Bow in the series..
Broockle Well, they explicit state that the bow in TP is the *exact* same one from OoT, so I mean...
Plus, bomb arrows were an unintended feature that got turned into a real feature fir this game, idk what you’re on about lol
@@wokeupinapanic
w8 when were bomb arrows an unintended feature? As far as I know projectile bombs only existed in WW with the Boat Canon and the Bomb Arrows in BotW.
Well I'm on about how the Bird pecking you when you steal can only very loosely be considered an easter egg.
Broockle - Link’s Awakening. If you equip both and hit A and B at the same time it shoots a bomb across the screen. It has no real use in-game, as as far as I am aware was an unintended feature.
@@wokeupinapanic
neat
This was just such an entertaining video!
The consistent amount of love that goes into Zelda games is crazy
Great video
You can just give whatever money you want to the bird(like a single rupee) and he'll leave you alone, he'll call you cheap tho
Wow this video FLEW by, it's great stuff!
As soon as the music kicked in I got hit with nostalgia!
6:45 “While Link speaks with Rutella”
Laughs in HYAHS
I never knew about the bottle fight in Twilight Princess! I did know about fighting gannon with the fishing rod though!
That ending with the botw wind and tree and Chillhop music...I would looooveee to be in that atmosphere 😊
Easter eggs are awesome!
I don't know if he is a reference to him, but Coro's affinity for birds may be connected to the Hylian found under the bridge in A Link to the Past, or his counterpart in A Link Between Worlds, the Bird Lover, as the more likely connection of the two. In the latter case, he also has birds resting on and around him, though is a bit annoyed at Link for making them fly away by approaching. They may not be connected at all, but Coro also sells you a Bottle filled with Lantern Oil just as the Hylian and the Bird Lover give you one (though it should be noted that Beedle also sells one on his Masked Ship in The Wind Waker).
Awesome video, man!
I don’t know if this is obscure or not, but a really good one that some may not know about is the dark link reference.
If you go to Link’s basement, get out the lantern, then hang it on his side as you stand in front of the mirror, the shadows and all kinda look like dark link.
Its been a real long time since I played the game, so I could be misremembering but I distinctly remember being creeped out as a kid but thinking it was cool. My apologies if I’m wrong.
The reference to the Serenade of Water, I actually pointed that out to my brother recently when I was trying to play it. (I was too scared of the Goron Mines when I was little.)
I usually give trill some extra rupees. A hard working bird deserves extra.
Same here. Last time I played I ended up giving Trill my entire wallet full of Rupees. I had the giant wallet.
Great video I’m watching it twice.
I always thought beetle was the mail guy because they're both (as far as I know) characters excited to see link with a happy "HEyyyyyy!" "HiiiI"
