 Yes, it's another LP of Ocarina of Time. Developed and published by Nintendo, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the fourth game in the Zelda series, but the first with 3D graphics. Released on the Nintendo 64 console in late 1998, Ocarina of Time won an absolute poo poo-ton of awards inlcuding many Game of the Years and is still the highest rated game ever on Metacritic. It is a fantastic open-world adventure RPG with fun characters, engaging side quests, and an excellent story. So here's the deal. A couple of my friends, SilverChaser and SorryNotMorrie, have recently started working on their own LP content, and I had been trying to think of a game to play to bring them on as guests. When I learned that they had never played or otherwise experienced the old N64 Zelda games, I knew what had to be done. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was actually the first game I ever owned. I received it for Christmas 24 years ago along with an N64, starting my decades long love affair with video games that continues to this day. What I hope to do with this LP is to take my friends on a guided tour of a fantastic game and get a fresh perspective through their eyes.  01 - The Boy Without a Fairy 02 - Inside the Great Deku Tree 03 - The Market 04 - Hyrule Castle 05 - Kakariko Village 06 - The Graveyard 07 - Lon Lon Ranch 08 - Death Mountain 09 - The Lost Woods 10 - Dodongo's Cavern 11 - King Dodongo 12 - Running Errands 13 - Zora's Domain XX - A Smashing Sidequest 14 - Lake Hylia 15 - Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly 16 - Barinade 17 - The Temple of Time 18 - Revisiting Kakariko Village 19 - Horsing Around 20 - The Forest Temple 21 - Phantom Ganon 22 - If I Could Turn Back Time 23 - Questionable Craftsmanship 24 - The Fire Temple 25 - Volvagia 26 - Who You Gonna Call? 27 - The Ice Cavern 28 - The Water Temple 29 - Morpha 30 - Lurking in the Deep 31 - Bottom of the Well 32 - Getting That Gossip 33 - The Shadow Temple 34 - Bongo Bongo 35 - Gerudo's Fortress 36 - Haunted Wasteland 37 - The Spirit Temple (Kid's Club) 38 - The Spirit Temple (Adults Only) 39 - Twinrova 40 - Gerudo Training Ground 41 - Trading Up 42 - The Round-Up 43 - The Triforce 44 - Ganondorf  SilverChaser's Channel Frenzy's Twitter FrenzyTheKillbot fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Nov 1, 2023 |

Hey, I'm pretty much in the same boat as your co-hosts. I loved the NES Zelda games and Link to the Past but never had an N64 or any more recent console, so most of the newer Zelda games have pretty much flown right past me except for watching the occasional LP. I'm looking forward to this one!

Same here, Link's Awakening was basically the last Zelda-title I played until I got a Switch and Breath of the Wild, so I managed to completely miss all 3D-Zeldas up to that one.

Is this being played on Ship of Harkinian? It feels like it's running really smoothly.

Yeah I was going to say that the framerate looks a lot smoother than even the 3DS remake and it looks really crisp so I was wondering if Frenzy was using Ship Of Harkinian myself.

Seeing this game run at a framerate higher than 15-20 fps is kinda giving me anxiety, to be honest.

lol yeah it's definitely Ship of Harkinian. In my head I remember the Deku Tree's mouth opening to be really "creaky" but seeing it at 60fps it's buttery smooth and it kinda weirds me out. I actually played for a little while with it rendering at 1440p while I was testing and it works really well. It does introduce a few visual bugs (although less than I would have thought) and so for the LP I'm rendering it at 540p and upscaling, but I think it gives it a little bit of blurry CRT-ish authenticity. Nissin Cup Nudist posted:You should pull a Vicas and play an N64 classic with your feet You got me thinking about this, and Z targeting is actually a toggle, which would probably making playing it with your feet possible. Zelda does rely on the C buttons way more than Mario64 does, so I guess it'd be all about that toe dexterity? I think I'm just going to stop thinking about it.

It's kinda weird seeing this game run so fast and smoothly, Link's run animation along with so much else is burned into my brain into being so much slower. I imagine there's a bit of a reactions readjustment period you're headed for and that should be fun to watch.

Count me in as someone else who never played this game. Played a few (OG, Link's Adventure, ALTTP, Link's Awakening, Seasons, Minish Cap, Twilight Princess) but didn't have an N64 so I never played this or Majora.

Bit of a deadbeat dad if you ask me. Probably knew all along Link would get blamed and cast out and force him to go on the quest  (I forget if this is an actual plot point).

As for the rest of it, I always got a "life was tough on you but it was necessary to make you into a hero" vibe from his treatment in the Kokiri Forest.

That's the 3D version of the Peahat, those weird stop-and-go enemies that you could only hurt while they were moving in the 2D games.

Aww, you didn't show them the easter egg when you shoot a slingshot seed against the window opposite to the one with the mario paintings? Also, one theory of what Impa does when she disappears, is she just throws a nut and walks off calmly, because the nut stuns you and freezes time for you.

Just popping in to say that I'm really enjoying this lp. I played OoT on the GC, and was rather underwhelmed as so many games had surpassed it by then. So it is with joy that I can follow along with two people who've never experienced a LoZ game, and can see the world fresh with their eyes.

This is just one of those weird things but I always felt like I was mispronouncing Kakariko when I was a kid. It never sounded right. No I don't know how else you would pronounce it.

Majora's Mask is my favourite Zelda game, but the first day(s) are very restrictive and frustrating. I totally see how you could end up rage quitting. I also want to say that I'm planning/hoping to show the girls Majora's Mask after this LP, but I may wait until it gets the Ship of Harkinian treatment as well.

Off the top of my head I'm going to say that the royal family is buried with their servants like Egyptian pharaohs. Which means their Sheikah bodyguards end up getting entombed and turned into zombies. It would explain why Impa is apparently the last Sheikah as well.
