I think such “time” speed differences can be better explained by them not being based on Earth, or on an Earth with a very different rotational speed, rather than time being faster or slower.

The timer in hot areas works exactly the same way, and it scales with increments of less than quarter hearts which is interesting since the HUD doesn't even show those. In fact if your health is low enough (about 1/16 of a heart iirc) then the calculation fails and you just have infinite time

[@Iconic_Zoot]

The interesting thing about Link is that in OOT, the time he can hold his breath for is dependent on how many hearts he has when he goes underwater. The max 20 hearts allows him to hold his breath for around 2 minutes and 30 seconds if I remember correctly. A single quarter heart is 2 seconds. Edit: Nevermind, you discovered that on your own during the video. Nice catch, it's cool you noticed.

[@lordderpingtonII]

And if you get to 1/8 hearts its infinite

[@LilacMonarch]

@@lordderpingtonII 1/8 gives you 1 second, 1/16 is infinite

[@melty4204]

For anyone reading these comments who is confused. Although the health bar divides hearts into 4ths, internally one heart represents 16 hit points. Every 2 hit points equates to 1 second on the drown timer, this is also true for the timer you get in hot places like death mountain crater. If you lower your health just 1 hit point (1/16 of a heart) the timer will be set to 0 seconds which will make it so it doesn't even start. All direct damage in the game deals more the 1 hit point, however, it is possible to lower your health to 1 point using slip damage from being set on fire or frozen. A common use for this glitch is to purposefully get burned by the Fire Keese in the first room of Fire Temple to be able to walk around the dungeon without Goron tunic.

[@captainnintendo]

Now this is some hard science right here. But I digress. Guybrush Threepwood is clearly the winner when it comes to holding one's breath. Unless you count characters that can just survives infedefinitely underwater like the Kongs

[@georgegrenvillethe7thpm176]

Guy can only be killed via drowning, that’s a big weakness

Out of the many years I've played and replayed Ocarina of Time, I never thought the drowning timer was related to the amount of hearts you have. I honestly thought it was random.

[@sirGuy1995]

I think if you know where to go and how to navigate fast, you can actually beat the game without the read and blue tunic. (Death mountain timer is the same as the drowning timer)

[@globalistgamer6418]

When I saw the Banjo drowning animation, I had a strong memory that when he rises up during the animation, if he reaches the surface he can actually still get air and recover. I'm not totally surely if this is a feature in BK or some other similar game I'm misremembering from, but if so that means his time is a little longer, since he hasn't actually died from drowning until the animation ends. One thing I'm a bit more sure of which doesn't actual extend time but is nonetheless impressive is that Mario in SM64 can breath through his feet and not lose oxygen even if his head is completely submerged.

[@roboticfox375]

[@kzyrichm]

If link on OoT has the white border hearts, gets down to a quarter heart, then get tapped by a keese, it'll put him at 1/8 of a heart. This causes a bit of a miscalculation on the part of the drown timer. It will literally cause a link with gills. His timer will become absolutely infinite.

[@Leekodot15]

In Sonic's defense, he should consume energy by the GIGAWATTS to run as fast as he did for as long as he can, especially oxygen, so it honestly makes sense why he's incapable of holding his breath for long. Even humans can possibly last for a whole minute while holding their breath and running at top speed, but Sonic is stuck at a mere 30 seconds, even while resting, due to his lightning fast metabolism.

The timer for link can be delayed further by which scale he has, that is if you can get underneath something at the bottom of his dive. So ideally, I think, max hearts (with enhanced defense maybe ?) no iron boots, golden scale, dive as deep as he can in water temple and get underneath a platform for the most accurate measurement. Or maybe a platform just under the surface of the water is better instead of at the bottom of the dive. Unsure!

[@caffelino9687]

Useless info but: Link's drowning timer starting point varies greatly depending on *how* you drown him. Removing iron boots, for instance, resets the timer a few seconds in regardless of whether link surfaces or not. You can thus prolong the timer for a really long time also by equipping and unequipping the iron boots at the right rhythm. Also if you have the silver or golden scale, the diving timer is increased, so Link can dive deeper and therefore his drowning timer starts even later. Also trapping Link's resurfacing takes much longer to register for the drown counter than just equipping the iron boots. So theoretically you can expand Link's drowning time for at several seconds longer (I'm estimating at least 15 seconds, but probably more) just by diving and not surfacing, then just before the timer is about to appear you equip the iron boots to force its start, then remove it after a second or two to reset the timer, and repeat the last two steps until the game finally refuses to reset the counter.

[@Brain-washed2]

oot Link can hold his breath longer the more hearts he has. each quarter heart is 2 seconds so at 20 hearts he holds his breath for 2m40s. if he has 20 heart containers but 1 quarter heart remaining, he'll have 2 seconds. fire damage applies dmg in 8ths, so if you take fire dmg at 3/4ths of a heart and extinguish yourself, you'll have 1/16th of a heart and the timer won't start at all and you can breathe underwater forever or maybe it's some kind of underflow glitch where the timer will countdown from whatever the biggest number the n64 can process or whatever (but basically forever). maybe you can run an experiment to see if that's the case haha same applies for overheating in death mountain. learned this in the looygi brothers video "cool things in oot part 6" great series, not your average "did you know" series

[@CIubDuck]

The programmers made an error when rounding the numbers, they coded the timer to round down your hearts instead of rounding up. So when Link have 3/16th of a heart they made it so it rounds down to 2/16th of a heart which gives you 1 second on the timer. But if you have 1/16th of a heart it still rounds down that number to 0/16th hearts, so the timer just never starts since you're considered dead according to the timer programming, but you're still alive according to your heart value. And since you're "dead" the timer just never starts.

So, funny math with OoT link. Basically, his health it broken down as points in the game. Every quarter heart is 2 seconds, but his health is broken down in a more complex manner. So, if we use fire damage, which in the game does about 1/16 of a heart of damage per some variable I can't remember, we can lower that quarter of heart to an eighth of heart. Which will reduce the timer to one second. HOWEVER. You can reduce his health to the lowest it can go, at 1/16th of a heart. It breaks all timers related to health, allowing him to have unlimited breathing time under water, or burning time in death mountain.
