I just love the Ocarina ending. First, a memorable boss fight with great music and big setpieces. Then, a great medley of the game's music with a big dance party.

This was a lovely way to re-experience the game with Frenzy's experience and Silverchaser and SorryNotMorrie's inexperience, but often great intuition. Thanks for doing it, it will be great to see you guys teaming up again in the future.

Writer's Tears is a good whiskey, and this has been a wonderful LP. Thank you, Frenzy, Silver, and Sorrie, and I'm looking for to the eventual Majora's Mask lp!

Incredible LP, and the imperial march giggles were wonderful.

Agreed, the Imperial March interrupting every couple minutes got funnier each time it happened. Thanks for doing the LP!

Don't think I've lingered on the ending frame long enough to get the scarecrow song which is probably for the best because I never made a actual song for the scarecrow.

I dont think they regret it as much as they dont really factor it into development anymore. Skyward Sword was the big nod to it, but then BotW/TotK took and picked whatever the devs wanted without really caring where it would land the games chronologically.

Honestly its my opinion that its The Legend of Zelda and not The Completely Accurate Historic Records of Zelda and the timeline should be used as a suggestion at most.

Kid's blasting everything in sight with that new-fangled musket.


Legends of Zelda are about as accurate as the Pokedex because both are largely compiled by credulous children who just want to make up cool poo poo.

I'm glad people ended up enjoying this thread so much. I said near the beginning that I was a little worried people wouldn't be interested in yet another Ocarina of Time LP, but it really was great getting the girls' first impressions and reactions and theories.

And I'll say again, I do plan on bringing them back for Majora's Mask. But I'm going to wait until it gets a Ship of Harkinian emulator because it's just so much nicer than regular emulators.

Just a note as I'm watching.

You can also use the spin attack to bounce back all the projectiles on his charge attack.

And you can use Light Arrows to stun Ganon Phase 2 so you can get at his tail easier!

Since this bit wasn't mentioned in the LP, leaving this here:

It's Ganon bottle

And still learning new things up to the end. I really wish I knew about the spin attack thing, I bet that looks so cool.

Honest to god I would just love to see the girls react to Gerudo Town in BotW.

There's a lot of things in BOTW and TOTK that would be great to show them, but I really don't think I'm capable of LPing them. They're just such huge games with so much in them, I think it would require an entirely different style of planning and playing and editing.

I hate timeline chat so much because aside from the obvious direct sequels like Majora (or Phantom Hourglass or Tears of the Kingdom or Twilight Princess I guess, etc, etc) you just know nobody actually making the games cared that much. They put references to other games in the games but that doesn't mean they're on some magic actual timeline. It's just an idea so Nintendo can get more people to buy Hyrule Historia and folks bought it hook, line, and sinking lure sinker.

... actually I guess all this anger really just stems from me thinking that the idea/addition of a "Link Dies" timeline is the stupidest loving thing and I hate it.

This is sorta how I feel about the timeline stuff. It's neat, and I like a lot of the references that do exist, like the stained glass in Wind Waker and locations like "Mido's Swamp" in BOTW/TOTK. But all the effort and rationalizing to try and fit it into a formal timeline just turns me off. Personally, I like to think of it more like a multiverse scenario, and Ganondorf trying to take over the world and being foiled by Zelda and Link is like a nexus event or a fixed point or whatever.

Hey Frenzy do you know about the hidden restock room on the bottom floor of Ganon's castle? IIRC correctly it's directly under the entrance door (or directly opposite) and it's hidden by a Lens of Truth wall.

Because of the age and near mythical popularity of Ocarina of Time, I think people sorta assume that everyone has played the game, and so most LPs usually end up being ROM hacks, gimmick runs, or just lazy longplays. This is actually the first "plain" LP of OoT I've watched from start to finish (sorta; still 4 vids left,) because, first and foremost, you let the game unfold itself at its own pace, showing us why OoT is such a beloved game. And not only do you three have fantastic chemistry, you're also really good at knowing when to let the commentary take the back seat, so the game can shine. This was a fantastic LP, and you guys were the perfect crew.

I think they had the split timeline in mind when doing Wind Waker and Twilight Princess specifically due to what OoT references got put into those backstories, but the "Link dies" timeline got invented for Hyrule Historia just so they could have a spot to put in all the pre-OoT games which weren't intended to be on a timeline.

I really appreciated getting the first time experience because I never beat Ocarina as a kid. I wasn't good enough at video games to get past the first temple until Majora's Mask, but I never beat the last temple of that one either. So it was nice to see a let's play that didn't assume I knew everything about the game already.
