He definitively is!

Definitively!

It's fun to visit these older videos after learning about the blue dog's true win.

@@raydespoir Yeah, I discovered Vidya James' video about the Blue Dog yesterday. While my video scratches the surface way more compared to the analysis of Speedrunners (dissecting the actual game-data), I hope it can still provide a practical and empirical case-study of real races in addition to the theoretical analyses these videos present.

Thank you very much. :) Nice observation about the Gossip Stone in Mountain Village. I too think that Epona was teleported to Romani Ranch by Skull Kid. Him placing the boulder there just makes much more sense all things considered. As you say, he's already in the area (if not physically then at least magic-wise), and it just makes sense with him preventing Link from seeing Epona again. Romani Ranch and the Gorman Brothers probably are competitors for years now, yet this seems to be the first time a boulder is placed on Milk Road.

I mean... I too would love this to be the case, but with her being a sage in the Adult Timeline and all that, I think this complicates things a lot. Many years ago I staunchly believed that Link would search for Saria in the Lost Woods (and subsequently get lost, leading to the plot of MM), but by now I have accepted the fact that it is Navi he searches for - since searching for Saria logically makes no sense, as Link always knows where to find her in Kokiri Forest, or her special place in the Sacred Forest Meadow. This I think also sadly implies that Saria couldn't completely emotionally fill the emptiness Link felt after the events of OoT. But they do have a really cute friendship in OoT, I totally agree with you.

@@moodyowlproductions4287 What a weird humour from him!

@@GearoxButaBox Ah, what a funny coincidence! Thank you for your support. Crazy to think how bad Majora influenced him.

@@MasterFhyl Skull Kid's sense of humour might be weird.

@romano-britishmedli7407 lol

Thank you very much. :) I put a lot of work into my videos - it's always nice to hear such encouraging words.

You have earned my sub, as a person who never really played MM, this was the perfect vid for me to understand the grocery list of things Skull kid did.

@Notartorias211 Well, thank you. I like the game because of its dark atmosphere and lovable characters (it's actually my favourite Zelda-game precisely for of this reason). If you like Zelda, you might give it a try (although I can understand while the strict time-limit is offputting for many people - you can slow down time in each cycle, however).

The clock is what threw me off, i love the series (oot is my favorite) and I didn’t know you could slow time

@Notartorias211 Yes, you can slow down time, by playing the Inverted Song of Time (every note in backwards order - it's even called this way in the game). In the N64-version, time gets slowed down by times 3, in the 3DS-version its unfortunately less than that (slowing down by times 2). It's really helpful when playing Majora's Mask, and the first thing I do when starting a new cycle. Ah, Ocarina of Time! Another great Zelda-game. Yeah, I get why it's people's favourite.

It's as if people just don't want to die...

@@romano-britishmedli7407 cause of woke i cant bring down moon anymore smh

Thank you.

Thank you. :) I see your reasoning. If we assume the same "What if"-scenario as for the moon falling, meaning that the Giants are not freed of their imprisonment and the dungeons are not cleared, you could be right that many people in these regions could face extinction: - Starving in the cold, the Gorons are screwed! (The most obvious case.) - The Zoras might face a slow extinction, with no new children being born. If we assume a BotW-lifespan, this extinction might be veeery slow in Hylian terms, spanning over several decades. Though inevitable eventually, I think. - Not sure how much would change for the Deku. They at least can hop over poisonous water, so they might somehow scrape by, but if their source of food dies due to the poison, the Deku might face extinction as well, or at least a massive shrinking. - As weird as this sounds, Ikana could be mostly alright? The Ikanans and Garo are all dead anyway, Sakon will live, Pamela's father might die, and for Pamela it could go both ways - she might escape, stay and fend off the Gibdos by herself forever, or die. - The Gerudo could also be relatively alright. They can just continue their pirating. - Clock Town (technically not one of the four regions) could be relatively fine as well (assuming the moon's gone, of course) - though I'm not sure what their trade-relations in material goods with the four regions are, outside of Romani Ranch. Technically we'd have to go region by region in deciding whether it's The End of the World or Traumatizing, but if I had to choose, I'd put it in a low-tier End of the World. Now that I think about it, this could be a great idea for a video. Maybe I'll create one in the future.

@@romano-britishmedli7407 I look forward to it if you decide to make it :D

Kind of, yeah.

Oh wow, thank you very much. I'm doing my best with research and editing. Glad you liked it. :)

Thank you very much. :) Yeah, I'll definitively do more lists - already have an idea for another video of this sort.

Yeah, he's one of the most interesting, and always was one of the most memorable and favourite for me in WW.

Oohh, that's an interesting idea! Thanks for the suggestion!

I uploaded a certain video...

Thanks for your comment. Glad you found it interesting. I've encountered this theory roughly a year ago or so, and thought it was interesting and worthwhile discussing.

Ah yes, I am sorry to have neglected this very important part of the human mind. I guess this video is only for psychopaths who want to use capitalism for profit, then. The wolves definitively deserve to be fought. It's only self-defense from Link, of course.

Good points. There's definitively enough time to do all of these (maybe with the exception of the beaver-races, depending on how good the player is), which I think is the main part and argument of this video. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure why I excluded these - maybe I just forgot. Especially fighting Captain Keeta (which I did), racing the Deku Butler and taking a picture of Tingle don't take much time and can easily be dealt with inbetween some other issues (after clearing Woodfall Temple and bein in the Southern Swamps are good times for this). I too am absolutely unsure about the hungry Goron - I will test this in the coming days. I think you are right as well about the races still being closed.

Okay, I checked it out: The hungry Goron is gone once you defeat Goth. The frozen waterfall he's standing in front of is melting, therefore there's too much water for him to remain there. Don't know if he appears somewhere else afterwards.

Ah, I think I get what you mean. Sorry, can't exactly do these "outside of boundaries"-type of videos. Although I too think there's probably nothing there. But nevertheless, thank you for this comment.

@@romano-britishmedli7407 That's fine I still enjoyed the thought process behind it makes alot of sense

Aw, thank you for your compliments. :) I constantly try improving my recording. I definitively made huge progress over the last 2 years, but I feel like there's still room to improve a bit more. Yeah, Zelda is a great passion of mine, so I enjoy making these theory-videos.

Ahoy there!

Thank you very much. :) Glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you. Theorizing can be a difficult and delicate task sometimes, when trying to avoid too rampant speculations, though. We then can only use what the games offer us. That's why I was careful with what conclusions to draw in this video and theory. TotK even confirms it with Yona that there are places outside of the world-map we see in-game, with it being stated that she comes from another domain. Oh, and let me tell you that Hyrule in OoT contains waaayyy more than 70 people. ;)

She definitively needs it.

You have my support!

Thanks. :)

What do you mean by that?

@@romano-britishmedli7407more frames needed

@@ThaGreatChemist Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, I had this thought as well. Will keep this in mind for future mapping-videos. Thanks for the comment.

Interesting. Might not only depend on the software-version being played, but also on the hardware used (some processors calculate things differently than others). Maybe the Golden dog saying "Rrr-Ruff" races better in other versions of the game or on another console.

@@romano-britishmedli7407 I hope it's coincidence and not the return of BEN except he just haunts the dog track RNG.

@@casowling I unfortunately can't tell you that, since I never really watched/read the Ben-creepypasta. Just know the general stuff about it. Although the haunt being limited is an interesting thought. Why do you think he would limit himself to the racetrack? Hhmm...

Yeah, that's how statistics work. Sometimes, there are just outliers like that. "10% probability" doesn't mean "exactly every 10th occurrence". I'm not claiming my results as the absolute and final truth, just wanted to highlight the most important trends. :)

Thanks for the comment. :) It's nice seeing other people like her as well.

Aahh, perfectly well said. While I objectively have to rate the Anju & Kafei sidequest as the best one in Majora's Mask, this one at Romani Ranch comes a very close second. It's just as meaningful and deep of a sidequest as the wedding. Link staying at Romani Ranch is a very interesting scenario. I think it could alleviate a lot of problems Cremia and Romani face.

Thanks. I put a lot of work into it. I hope you liked it.

I can't tell you. The algorithm has its own ways for sure.

Thank you very much. It seemed to me that few people had done such an analysis before, so I thought it would be a good idea for a video.

61E62ww

Thanks. :) Oh, she certainly presents her actions in that noble way, that's for sure! Whether or not to actually believe her... I'm somewhat skeptical, to be honest. They're still pirates, mind you, doing this... "business" for (at least!) some years (or maybe even Tetra's whole life); and she had no hesitations leaving Link behind on Outset Island at the beginning of the game (she had to be talked into accepting Link into the group by Quill the Rito-postbird). I personally think she robbed the bomb-shop for more selfish reasons.

Well thank you. Hope you liked it. :)

Yeah. In hindsight it might've been unexpected for me how much development Tatl actually gets, especially compared to other companions (Navi, the King of Red Lions, Fi - even Ezlo and Ciela). But she sure is very interesting.

@@romano-britishmedli7407 True, though I think Ezlo had some decent character development too.

@@midnalazuli793 I have to admit I don't really remember how much (character-)development Ezlo got in MC. Might have to replay it again while looking at the game from such an angle.

Definitively! I'm sure a lot of us will have hundred(s) of hours of fun with this series in the years to come.

Thanks for your story of your experiences with the Trails-series. :) Will you play Cold Steel as well? "the pandy"! XD I always forget that Trails into Reverie exists - one more game to go through, yay! Sky 1 and 2 were already peak storytelling and character-development - how can Zero and Azure even top this? Part of me refuses to believe this, but it seems I'm in for a hell of a ride. I'm sorry you're feeling withdrawal - I hope you can manage it. Yeah, I too am glad that I don't have to wait too long to play these games. I make sure to be taking my time with them. For me, New Game+ somewhat helps - you have a rewarding experience (IMO) breezing through the story with your insanely strong/overpowered characters (or some challenge-seeking people are even free to play Nightmare) and you get to know the game and characters even better with looking at them from different angles.

You expressed my feelings perfectly. I honestly don't get why Tatl is overlooked so much, and I am always very baffled when people praise Midna but then don't even mention Tatl. Like: What?!? - Why?!? Both had character-developments and likeable moments! Tatl is way more interesting than Navi or the King of Red Lions (they're both very bland and mediocre in my opinion, when we remove the whole King-thing from the talking red boat and rate him purely as a companion). I recently played Phanto Hourglass and found Ciela to be a quite enjoyable and likeable character. Eerr, anyway, back to topic. I once heard someone call Tatl "Proto-Midna", and I honestly think it fits a lot and describes her very well.

Oh interesting! I somehow completely missed the possibility that the contact-person could have been Weissmann himslf. It just sounded to me like Weissmann was talking about a third person, who was different from Weissmann (and different from Joshua, obviously). Joshua tells contact-person -> contact-person tells Weissmann - that's how I always thought it was. I'm just confused why people would remember the name "Weissmann" when thinking about their loss of memory and this mysterious person they talked to. The screen in SC, when Estelle tries and fails to remember Professor Alba, blurs out not only the face but also Alba's name in the dialogue-box after he did put a spell on Estelle. This is evidence I think that Estelle in particular didn't remember a name "Weissmann (the Faceless)" - so why should Kurt, Richard or other people remember this name when Estelle doesn't? It just doesn't make sense to me.

I don't remember all the details, but he was probably talking about himself as Alba. If I remember correctly Joshua sometimes gets headaches and that's because his memory of their meeting was erased. Weissmann just chooses what they should remember or not, he's just called the faceless, not the nameless. I guess he chose to erase his name from her because of her strong connection to Joshua. If she could give the other bracers a name they would know.

@@Weirdwolf81 Hm, this possibility totally slipped my mind. Yeah, Weissmann choosing what his victims should forget and what they should remember makes sense. Many people could call him "the Faceless", not just his victims; I guess you are right. Your explanation of why Estelle didn't remember his name is a good one - I like it.

Can't say I'm 100% correct though about everything, but that's the closest I can get right now, haha. It was nearly 2 years since I played them now. Now I'm just looking forward to play Kuro no Kiseki 2: Crimson Sin. I played the first one with a fan translation. But I'll probably replay the long awaited localizaton of Hajimari no Kiseki aka Trails into Reverie this summer. Good times for us Trails fans lies ahead!

@@Weirdwolf81 I personally avoid the fan-translations for one reason. They at Geofront did an amazing job with this dedication and passion, don't get me wrong (and it's really cool that it has been acknowlged by the developers with letting them help with official translations, if I'm informed correctly), I just want to fully go the legal route this time. Had enough Nintendo-emulations used in my youth, haha. Yeah, good times lie ahed of us Trails-fans indeed. I still can't fully comprehend that we have the... luxury (?) of only needing one platform - PC - to play all Trails-games localized in the West. That's amazing. I see no reason Falcom would stop this practice, so I'm looking forward to be playing the Calvard-arc in this fashion as well. But I, unlike others, have the advantage of being behind in having played/completed all these games and arcs, so while I take my time catching up with the overarching story, other games will get localized as well in the near and medium future.

Oh I sure hope so. Started playing it these days. I'm looking forward to all the twists and turns with Ouroboros. It was interesting seeing these events in Crossbell from afar, from the Erebonian perspective in CS2. Though it seems to me that Crossbell's quest for independence will ultimately be in vain, since at the end of CS2 they get annexed anyway. A shame, I would have rooted for them prior to playing the Cold Steel games.

Definitively!

As I've stated in the rules, I consider a mini-dungeon (in this case the Gerudo Fortress) retroactively completed after only completing the main-dungeon. But considering with how many time I was left in this challenge, I certainly could have done saving the Zora-eggs as well.

That's why I've added subtitles, in case some people don't understand me talking. I'm currently adjusting my audio. I hope it gets better in the future.
