8 Secret Rooms You Might Not Know About

[@markasscop]

oh dang, thought it was going to be 8 secret rooms in ocarina of time

[@drachenschnitzel3297]

I find the Ocarina hidden room baffling. The one heart reward is so trivial that relatively few players would ever need it for the fight. Yet it’s so hidden that those relatively few players would ever find it. I certainly didn’t find it: jumping through lava seems like the way to lose health. It makes me wonder if the space originally had a bigger intention, like a piece of heart, and got swapped for a regular heart because no one found it and/or Nintendo decided to only have the whole heart containers in dungeons. Or… maybe just bad judgment.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

My guess is that it was meant to be a different item but they changed it at the last minute. Either a large valued rupee or some bombs. Given that it's behind the lava. I wonder if the Eye of Truth reveals it, meaning it would have been a reward for late game backtracking.

[@CayenneGaramonde]

It's probably just cut content and the heart is a placeholder for something else that was planned to be there.

[@micheal7932]

In the Zelda series, hearts are sometimes used as physical symbols of gratitude. The room itself could have been added last minute by a developer and they left a heart for any players who found it.

[@JacobDragyn]

@@micheal7932 Are there other examples of this gratitude symbolism?

[@SuperCilis]

It has to be changed content or just a little thanks from dev. It IS on the map, but doesn't look like a room and who, besides me, would just yolo through lava for it. My guess is a dev cookie

[@Tor-Erik]

I discovered the hidden room behind the lava fall already as a kid after I - get this - got knocked back by Lizalfos's attack into the room. Thank you for showing and sharing many of the childhood secrets!

[@LooygiBros]

That's actually a pretty stylish way to discover it! 😄 Thank you ^^

[@Tor-Erik]

Of course. :) Sadly I didn't have a VHS footage of that moment as a kid. After all, VHS recorder was very expansive to purchase back in the 1990s. We always had to rent one, and my parents were always using it. Now as an adult, I have tried to recreate this stylish way many times on an N64 emulator. It couldn't be done.

[@kairi4640]

I kinda wonder if that was the original intention, lol. I mean if you got knock-backed you would lose health. Course I forget if getting hit into the lava was one of those black screen fadeouts where you automatically respawn. 🤔 My memory is bad, lol.

[@Tor-Erik]

@@kairi4640 Actually no, you don't automatically respawn after get knocked back into the lava, all though you do take damage from standing on the lava after the after-hit invincibility wears off.

[@johnfeather6476]

Here’s an interesting one. For years, I’ve had this false misconception that Ganon’s Castle from “Ocarina of Time” only contained one entrance, with that being the one you see before crossing the rainbow bridge made by the sages in order to reach the castle at the game’s climax. Lately, however, I’ve realized there’s actually a secret second entrance on the far right side of Ganon’s Castle. Once you first enter inside, you go down a flight of stairs leading you to two beamos guarding the door leading to the barrier chamber. Once you’ve entered that chamber, you’ll notice a bridge to your right leading to another passageway directly above the Water Barrier Section. The only time you can access that bridge is when you’re leading Princess Zelda out of the castle during its collapse. Upon crossing that bridge, you’re taken to another flight of stairs similar to the one you went down from the castle’s entrance. This second set of stairs doesn’t have two beamos guarding it at the bottom and leads you directly to the castle’s second exit. Upon narrowly escaping the castle, this exit contains a protruded cliffside for Link and Zelda to safely stand on before the castle collapses entirely. This cliffside wasn’t present at the first entrance after crossing the rainbow bridge. I can’t believe it took me all these years to figure out that tiny detail.

[@MrV902]

Yeah, that bridge always bugged the crap out of me.

[@Dwedit]

One day I noticed that in Ocarina of Time, hearts placed on the map are completely different than hearts that spawn when you defeat an enemy or lift a rock. One is a rotating 3D model, and the other is a sprite, and the sprite has a different graphic.

[@KairuHakubi]

isnt that weird? just like the separate 3d model for an item that you pick up.. i guess they had to be different entities.

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

When Mario 64 pops up: "Oh, I thought this was going to be all Ocarina of Time" When TotK pops up: "Oh, I thought this was going to be all N64"

[@jpfoland01]

That hidden room in the tower of SM64 is a legit shock for me, I've completed that game so many times and I had no idea something like that was there!

[@linconnuedetous]

The 1up mushrooms start to have a beard waiting like this

[@micheal7932]

SM64 has so many 1-UPs hidden throughout the levels and overworld that it could video all of its own.

[@fridaynightfunkinfan5627]

How do you not die instantly from jumping into the lava fall in OoT?!

[@MrV902]

It's a mirage. Those are a consistent theme of Zelda games.

[@Kira_Pac]

There's a video on youtube of a guy running his hand rapidly through molten metal. It's because he wet his hand first and went so quick, the heat exchange could never make it to the skin.

[@fridaynightfunkinfan5627]

@@Kira_Pac I bet that felt like putting your hand in hot water. 🌫️

[@Mike-nf6nf]

The secret rooms in the first Metroid on the NES drove me nuts as a kid. You can see them partially by doing the "door trick" where you clip through the walls and scroll the camera vertically.

[@harukaze7388]

you _know_ there was a gold skultulla where that heart is. there's no visual indication, but you'd be able to _hear_ it and there's another "off the map" gold skulltula in the deku tree already

[@GamingKingdom91]

The OOT one is neat and also weird.. I never knew about it until now..but its weird because you'd think jumping through lava would take you down a heart,but nope

[@AIMusicExtensions]

Link casually jumping across a lava fall

[@elsiebartlett6808]

Only knew about the Zelda ones and the one from Kirby’s adventure. Nice vid!

[@reven0699]

I feel like it's been a while since ive seen one of your videos, always excited to see new zelda content :)

[@robinson32993]

I’m so happy you finally made another OOT video 😊. I wasn’t bored of these videos yet, nor of the MJ ones 😊.

[@RTheu2109]

In ocarina i dicovered a few hidden rooms playing the master quest version, it makes a lot of the optional rooms in the original game mandatory to progress

[@VegaPhil]

Amazed no one has got in touch with Chris Houlihan, or he even come forward himself, to find out the truth about the room.

[@mattb6522]

Very interesting! I've played through Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 multiple times for many years, but I had no idea about those secret alcoves! I've heard of secrets behind a waterfall, but never would have expected one behind a lavafall! 😅

[@WhoIsSirChasm]

I knew five of them, which isn't bad; I feel like I should have known about the "DYDDY" code, and while I knew Kirby's Adventure had a HAL room I didn't know which level it was in. (Also nice triple jump off the Whomp. When people ask why I love Super Mario 64, it's things like that.)

[@Stinkyremy]

I love that game too. I don't really even play 2d mario games but because of that game I often play 3d mario games trying to relive the hype that game had as it was so good. Still no 3d mario game has competed. I thought odyssey would, while it is a good game, it's nowhere near as good as M64.

[@purpleplasma4824]

"DYDDY/DIDDY" that is unironically genius ngl. 3:00

[@kairi4640]

Rare Ware did love it's Easter Eggs back then lol. Banjo Kazooie was the most obvious one. 😂

[@xinpingdonohoe3978]

Wait, did Diddy Kong get his name from P. Diddy, who was kind of the smaller sidekick to Biggie (because Donkey Kong is a big and powerful presence, like Biggie)?

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

There's another hidden room in Vegetable Valley, in stage 1: under a waterfall, you'll see 4 floating blocks with one not having the visual effect of the water under it like the other 3. Going there and pressing Up will take you to a room with a 1up and a UFO enemy, letting you use the extremely rare and useful power early on. Unfortunately, UFO can't be taken out of the levels that it's found in under normal circumstances - completing or exiting the course will have Kirby lose it.

[@dullahan1]

I was so obsessed with Kirby's Adventure as a kid, and I remember finding that room for the first time and just being in awe! I still love to show it off to this day, because I feel it's such a lesser known secret in the game. There's also a hidden door at the end of 1-2 near the end of the stage that leads to a room with a Bronto Burt and a 1-up. To this day it amazes me how many fun secrets they packed into this title.

[@Porkey_Minch]

Wow, even after playing and watching many OOT randomizer seeds I never knew about that secret lava room

[@drpseudo]

the mario 64 one was in the strategy guide. I felt so OP knowing about this

[@escopeto7849]

The Looygi Bros. found the Amber Rooms of Nintendo! Splendid video, thank you!

[@LooygiBros]

Thank you so much for the support! ❤️

[@Frosty301289]

The room in a link to the past can also be accessed normally, i think it was in a cave next to where you get the ice wand

[@Peartato59]

I always find the Whomp’s Fortress one interesting. I’ve known about it since the game was still fairly new so I was shocked to find out the majority of people have seemingly never known about it until recently.

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

1:04 Link: Is there something here? Bonus Stage within a Bonus Stage. Bonusception. I actually reached the Chris Houlihan room not too long ago. I had a hard time getting to it before because I didn't know about the easy method. Chris Houlihan's story is a legend. Legends say that Chris Houlihan is the lucky winner of the contest. However he was never confirmed to be a real person.

[@Boss_candy]

Yo! I know this is random but I just wanted to say that I've been watching your videos for a while and your intro is really nice!

[@LooygiBros]

Hi! Thank you, so glad you like it! 😊

[@istrasci]

Don't think I knew about that one in DKC. Awesome!

[@aki5970]

That's so crazy, thanks for that!

[@cecillewolters1995]

You guys might like to feature Bomberman 64 in your videos, the game has some cool details and secrets not many people know about and the music and aesthetics are really charming if you like oldskool gaming

[@DeadweightLKS]

More of this please!

[@Bullminator]

One hidden room a lot of people dont know is from mdk game and you have to follow a invisible path and only way to see if ground is safe if you go to sniper mode and shot down.

[@KingMorgan6]

I never see before "Chris Houlihan" but the facts this game almost over 33 years and history legend!

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

That's almost impressive, since it's one of the best known examples of a hidden room in video games.

[@Adam_Flick]

I stumbled on it once and then never knew how I did it or how to do it again! And the internet wasn’t really a thing…

[@rmat9023]

fake lava in Oot is always lol

[@laverdieremath]

The 1-up in Whomp's Fortess was in the official guide if I remember correctly

[@じょせふ-v2z]

[@joaquimtoskano2803]

I have a secret one for you! I played majora's mask (3DS) (i dont remember which version) and at the start of the Ikana river there's a dungeon (covered by the waterfall)

[@BR-jw7pm]

I knew about quite a few of these but only from random comments/vids/sites on the internet

[@Kyrika]

6:50 I wonder if anyone ever figured out what a "Nintando" game is.

[@crabwaluigi]

So much knew ocorina stuff, amazing game, I still like majora and twilight more though

So for jumping through lava, your reward is a heart refill? ok ^^

[@happyhunting7002]

That last one was pretty neat. Too bad his name was programmed into such an out of the way place.

[@jeremysteelman2900]

The only one I didn't know was the DKC one. I would have shit across the room if I found that one as a kid.

[@TKnHappyNess]

Most people know about the bonus room in a bonus room because you need to do it for 101% completion

[@mattdkfan92]

Still very well hidden, took me YEARS to realize what i was missing

[@ArcRay20]

boy that TotK one was a strange one to put in here: "a video all about secret rooms with no hint on how to enter...also a room that isnt a secret cuz you can see it and you arent supposed to enter any way"

[@DukeSR8]

Does the second room still exist in SM64DS or did it get removed?

[@LooygiBros]

It exists in SM64DS too :)

[@zediahtimmons9704]

In DKC if you hit the reset button after playing the animal levels you will start with the lives you collected on your file

[@mattdkfan92]

Interesting

[@mattb6522]

That's pretty cool. It reminds me of the trick in both Sonic 1 & 2 for the Genesis/Mega Drive where if you collect a Chaos Emerald and hit the reset button, that Chaos Emerald will still count as collected when you start a new game.

[@mattdkfan92]

Fun fact: Chris Houlihan room is actually an error handler

The easiest way to ALttP's secret for me, is jumping into the water outside the dropdown fairy a few times, without the flippers, then into the hole. Learned this from Andy Laso, a great ALttP(+randomizer) speedrunner, and is funny!
