7:08 That's my favorite easter egg, the entire area from the first game (lower hyrule) is all tucked away below death mountain there. Gives the world a whole new perspective when you realize how much ground link is covering when he walks from place to place.

This is very true! Look at the graveyards for example, the one in AoL must be massive!!

[@cal5964]

lol i never saw it like that that’s extremely cool and now my favorite Easter egg too!

[@rogerschneider5971]

Yes in the manual it explains that the overworld map icons are just symbolic and what is actually there is what you see when they cut to the horizontal view. This implies the world is huge. So for example when you see an icon of an enemy on the overworld map, it symbolizes a whole horde of them moving around. And when you think about it, the overworld map shows just a few tiles beyond where many cave openings are located, but the caves often have several horizontal screens to them when you enter.

Funny thing about the town named Mido in Adventure of Link and the name not corresponding to a sage in Ocarina of Time, in the version of Ocarina of Time that was shown at Spaceworld, the medallions were called the Sage's Seals (the Fire Medaillion was called Darunia's Seal for example). The item that would go on to be called the Shadow Medallion was called Mido's Seal.

[@Bashfulday]

That’s actually really cool, I didn’t know that!!

[@TheBanishedWind]

Kasuto is also named for a Sage but said Sage has not appeared yet as of Tears Of The Kingdom.

[@SECONDQUEST]

That's terrifying. Mido already was a butt head but being related to the shadow temple is wild

[@devonm042690]

@@SECONDQUEST In that build of the game the Sage's Seals also had item equivalents called Medals, with names corresponding to their element, and in turn the element of the dungeon and Sage they were from. The item equivalent of Darunia's Seal was the Fire Medal, Saria's Seal was the Wind Medal, Ruto's Seal was the Ice Medal, and so on. They were used to cast magic like the medallions from A Link to the Past on their own, but they also had a secondary function where equipping them to the c-button that already had the bow on it would combine the two to create various elemental arrows. I've always assumed the 'x awakens as a sage and adds their power to yours' was an artifact of this build, especially considering it isn't the only instance of in-game text I can think of that would fit more with that build than what we got. In the cutscene where you get the Light Medallion, Raura says 'when the power of all the Sages is awakened, the Sages' Seals will contain all the evil power in the void of the realm'. Anyway, the main reason I brought up the Medals is that the item equivalent of Mido's Seal was called the Dark Medal. So the dungeon he was associated with was probably going to be called the Dark Temple of the Temple of Darkness.

In Z1, gettting hit by a white bubble (temporary loss of sword use) is on an internal timer. If you get hit, and blow the flute, that'll be enough time to use your sword again. Basically a pause to let you sword come back.

[@RipVanFish09]

The original game’s level one locked door thing is actually a glitch. The way the game knows to keep an unlocked door open is if you went through it, or in other words, which side of the screen you walked off. Because you walked off the bottom of the screen to leave the level, when you load back into the level, the game says, “hey, you walked off the bottom side, so the top door should be open”

[@Bashfulday]

I didn’t know that was considered a glitch! I guess just call me a hacker😂… seriously tho that’s really cool the code reads like that tbh! I wonder if this works with any other rooms in the game 🤔😋

[@ugondisnesruns9436]

@@Bashfulday I play the randomizer of Z1 pretty consistently, and you abuse this glitch constantly. If you enter a level, and there's a bomb wall, if you exit the level, go in and out of the side the bomb wall is, and enter the level, the bomb wall will be open without using a bomb. Not very useful for base game, but a neat feature.

If door/bomb wall is say, on the right of entering the level, you must leave level, AND leave the next screen in the direction of the door/wall, then come right back and into the level. No real use in vanilla other then level 1, but super useful in the randomizer.

Good video! One correction for you. The grave heart container in 2nd quest Zelda 1 doesn't require the power bracelet. You can push it at any time. Also, you should do a similar style video for the exploitable glitches in these 2 games. A lot of people are just learning about block clipping, screen scrolls, fairy clipping, etc. I think it would be a good introductory style of video for a lot of the people getting familiar with seeing or using the glitches. I love seeing people NOT in their 40's and 50's getting in to the NES era! Lol

[@Bashfulday]

I didn’t know that, I thought you did need the power bracelet! PEOPLE DONT KNOW ABOUT THOSE!? I can definitely do a video on them! I like the NES because of my dad but I’m only 24😋

[@SassageLink83]

@@Bashfulday neither of the pushable graves need it (1st or 2nd quest). Love to see the younger people taking an appreciation in the classics!

[@cjeelde]

And in the 2nd quest, if a bubble takes away your sword permanently, you don't need a bubble with that other color, you can but you don't need to. Because you can leave for the overworld and go to any fairy that will give you the sword attack back. I'm 99% sure that I remember it right. What's best depends on where you are in a dungeon and how close it is to a fairy. Another important thing is the fluit. It's never random which dungeon it brings you to. It depends on how many times you blow the whistle and which direction. Plus which dungeon you visited the latest. Something like that. So my advive is to practice this. Point down and blow the whistle and repeat it after every warp. Then do it when Link is pointing up. Also same thing when pointting left or right. Practice this is the best way to learn it. Next important thing is that "the 10th enemy got a bomb", this is a fact in Level 8 in 1st Quest. So kill 9 enemies with the sword (maybe boomerang and other weapons will work as well) and then kill the 10th enemy with a bomb and you will force a bomb drop. Important is that you cannot take any damage while doing this. When you take damage the "kill counter" will get reset. And then you need to start over. It's useful! In Zelda 2, there's a very useful tip in the overworld, especially when you're walking to the great palace. There's some mandatory encounters that you can skip with some easier versions if you walk into the overworld enemies/fairies at the same spot as the mandatory encounter, with a good enough timing. In Zelda 2 there's also something about every 6th or 8th enemy that will drop magic. Or 10th. Hard to remember. Useful in some areas in some palaces. I'm pretty sure about this. For beginners in Zelda 2, before entering palace 1 you can walk down instead on that desert and leave that and walk down more, and pick up a heart container. Then walk up to palace 1 with more life. This is really good!

@@Bashfulday hope you can play the games and verify what I wrote 🥰

[@ersatz_cats]

Nice video! One thing that might be worth a mention is, in Zelda 2, if you jump above the screen (using the Jump spell while on a high roof or something), and cast Fairy while you're off screen, it makes the game freak out. You end up in weird towns, or pallette-swapped dungeons, and leaving takes you to random places. Once back in the day, I left a glitched town and emerged way off in the ocean somewhere.

[@Bashfulday]

I didn’t know this! I’ll try it out and put the results in the final video! Thanks for the addition!! 💕

[@bardinblue9830]

@@Bashfulday Indeed, this trick is most easily done in any of the Palaces that have falling block rooms. You'd have to have the Handy Glove item from the swamp palace in order to "dig" a way to the top. In the town of Darunia, you can use the Jump spell and use the Fairy spell while on top of the tallest building in town. However, this has some weird side effects if you're not careful. One is getting soft-locked out in the ocean sometimes. Another is that you can accidentally turn palaces that you haven't been to yet into rock... which can end up forever locking you out of The Great Palace at the end of the game, or prevent you from collecting all the necessary items that will be needed to get there.

Cool video! Something fun I used to do, was setting a bomb just before grabbing a Triforce piece, if you time it just right, the screen stays grayscale(black & white) for a little bit while the music plays and your health refills. the screen colors return to normal once it places you back in the overworld though. 🤓😉

[@davidmartin8068]

As someone who has been playing these games almost since the day they came out, I figured there was no way I was going to hear something I didn't know. Nicely done, you proved me wrong! 😁 I had not heard of talking to a fairy before you Up+A save to start with full health next time. Something else with the faries if you are going to recover more than about 4 hearts hit Select right as your hearts start to fill. The screen will pause but your hearts continue to refill. Once they refill the screen unpauses and as soon as the heart ring completes it disappears, letting you leave right away rather than standing there while the heart ring circles around you for a few seconds. In AoL a number of map tiles have fights that are triggered when you step on them (i.e. the path to Darunia). These fights are typically more difficult than the fights from colliding with the roaming monsters. If you can time it so you step on the tile at the same time you collide with a monster you'll get the easier monster fight and bypass the "scripted" one. Thanks for the entertaining video!! Looking forward to more!! 😄

@hawkfeather6802 The nintendo famicon controller had a microphone. Famicom Microphone Games Which games make use of Controller II's microphone? Atlantis no Nazo (NES = Super Pitfall II) - get the microphone power-up and then yell into the microphone to freeze and kill most enemies. Hikari Shinwa: Palutena no Kagami (NES = Kid Icarus) - talk into the microphone to bargain for lower shop prices. Raid on Bungeling Bay (NES = Raid on Bungeling Bay) - ? SD Kamen Rider -- in one of the mini games, blow air into the microphone to get a windmill to spin. Takeshi no Chousenjou - featuring Takeshi Kitano who starred in Zatoichi, Battle Royale, Violent Cop, etc.) Kitano hates videogames and wanted this game to show its players how futile and pointless their hobby was. Amongst the challenges included in the game were a section where the player must hold a single button for up to an hour, a boss that takes over 1,000 punches to kill and of course the microphone section, where players are required to sing a verse of karaoke or talk whilst playing a pachislo minigame. The microphone section was replaced in later versions of the game once the microphone was dropped from the Famicom. Zelda no Densetsu: The Hyrule Fantasy (cart/disk) (NES = The Legend of Zelda) - yell into the microphone to kill Pols Voice enemies.

[@cjeelde]

Yeah you need the japanese Famicom for that. The 2nd controller got a mic. That's a huge difference between Famicom and NES.

[@KairuHakubi]

Heh, I did mostly know these, but nice video. I often wonder if the Error/Bug thing was also kind of a pun on the name Errol. Like you'd read it in katakana and go "Oh Errol? like Errol Flynn?" then you would see Bug and go "oh.. no. It was Error." If you're taking video ideas, while I can't think of any specific secrets that mustn't be missed, I could see you maybe following up "Did it Survive" with something like "What's new?" which would cover the enemies that are new to each game, whether they ever came back again or were one-offs...

[@wheezesanchez5661]

@@KairuHakubi That's an understandable mistake. If you don’t mind me geeking out on language a bit, read on. I’m going to guess by your error, which is a familiar one for me, that you must come from a place that uses rhotic Rs (think: pirate r). It's different now, but the Japanese language was more influenced by British English (non-rhotic) early on, rather than gloriously rhoticized American English. Think of how a Brit is likely to say "error", and you can see where the Japanese are getting that pronunciation. Also, you already know about the Japanese flap R that can create difficulty, so it makes sense that the Japanese would prefer to clip that terminal R trouble when they have a good reason. If, for some reason, you'd like to see me rattle on some more, ask me about 和製漢語, my absolute favorite category of Japanese, but definitely not English, words

[@KairuHakubi]

@@wheezesanchez5661 I'm aware that typical english words ending in the R sound are just aa in Nihongo, my point is that, of the words that break that rule, fancy and technical words like error kinda fit the bill. I guess. Actually I'm having trouble thinking of which types of words do that. I did not, however, consider that it's because of the British influence. That makes a lot of sense, I know there are a few loanwords that are clearly from British English, though I forget which ones.

First quest, I did enough times that I still have practically every positive secret burned into my brain. And Zelda 2 was a great game, it just wasn't the same as the others, so it gets a lot of hate. Definitely got some rough edges, I admit.

Then when you beat all 6 temples and max out your attack, life, and magic to 8, you can go back to each temple and put in the crystal. Each time, you'll get an 1-up. That's 6 extra Links that you use to get to and through the final temple.

[@Bashfulday]

THATS SUCH A GOOD SECRET! Thank you for sharing this!! 🤩

The Zelda 2 world map is, iirc, a horizontal flip of the state of Washington (inspired by Nintendo of America's headquarters being located in Redmond WA)

[@DarkKnightBatman420]

I'm amazed. You gathered up some things I've never heard of and I thought I knew it all. My favorite was saving at a fairy fountain for opening up the game with extra health.

[@Bashfulday]

Personally my favorite is going in the dungeon and taking all the items, it is just a gremlin thing I guess 😂😂

[@DarkKnightBatman420]

@@Bashfulday What I meant there was my favorite thing I learned from you today. That's just a cool thing to be able to startup maxed out. In the same context? Oh my favorite thing would be the same as yours. Raiding dungeons for the loot is a great feeling. Did you ever get that feeling playing Diablo II? Perhaps in Fallout 3? Both of those games really nailed the feeling of loot hunting like few other games ever have.

[@Bashfulday]

I haven’t ever played either, but I would like to play some of other games besides Zelda on my streams and so similar videos on them along with Zelda/Nintendo content in general!

[@DarkKnightBatman420]

@@Bashfulday Well there's a summer sale on Steam right now, it's the right time to strike for purchasing games for your pc. I didn't think the ol clunker would run Fallout but to my surprise yesterday it did. Even if you're busy, it's always good to get games on the cheap for later.

[@kirkericson2722]

I didn't learn anything new, but I'm glad to see younger folks playing these games still. I remember playing and beating Zelda back in the 80s, and the way we found secrets was literally burning every bush and bombing every wall. I never could beat the Adventure of Link and still haven't!

[@Bashfulday]

That's how my dad learn the secret locations and showed me... after of course making me try to find as many as I could as a child haha! Adventure of Link isn't my favorite by any means but if you can get past the level system and the side scroller POV its actually a pretty cool game!

Here is an Easter Egg for you for Gameboy Color Legend of the River King 2 English Version. Take the game and run it through the Gameboy MOM Analyzer on PC and change the cartridge type to 1EH from the selection. Then fix the header afterwards until it is correct. This will enable Rumble that was programmed into the Japanese version and just needs to be opened on the English Version. It's way better with Rumble thanks to the original programmers and myself. Catching fish and battles are way more fun. Oops that first M in MOM was supposed to be an R. My bad. This works with the Epilogue GB Operator set to Rumble even if your Geek Tech Premium FRAM Cartridge doesn't have a motor. You could just use mGBA and skip that though. Also works on the Pow Kiddy V90 with the Pocket Go Firmware Update to support Gameboy Color Rumble. It has a motor inside.

[@Bashfulday]

Nice to know!

[@cliffjumper1984]

Ok. Didnt know avout the manual save in LoZ2. Which is my favorite game in the series. And didnt know about getting to skip handing the meat over by respawning. I need to get back to doing gaving vids too. New sub

[@darksheikgaming]

One secret of The Legend Of Zelda is that when they were making the game, it only used half of the memory that they expected, and that's when they decided to make the other quest, which was named The Second Quest, or for some of us, it was called The Master Quest.

[@Bashfulday]

This is absolutely correct! It was a built in DLC haha! 🤣

[@rubenmejia4881]

Well its official that you can teach an old dog new tricks! I never knew about the hungry goriya disappearing with the save screen. 37 years later Mind blown 😳

The blue to red potion thing doesn’t save rupees in the long run. If you are going to use one and then go and replenish with a blue, it will cost you 40 rupees each time you do that. By the second time you’ll have spent 80 rupees. If you just used both your servings and replenished with a red, it only costs you 68. I’d only do the blue upgrade for 40 if you were heading into level 9 with a blue potion.

[@Bashfulday]

I usually don’t need the potions, but I get a blue one and if I have to have it I just go refill it before the next level! Especially for the last few levels, but you are right the math doesn’t stand very well if you constantly refill the bottle!

[@kodytiffany5686]

Never knew of the multi controler stuff. I am a big fan of 2. Now I know why names were nostalgic in ocarana as a kid. I cannot think of any others But I like the NES versions came with so much in the Manuel. Like a full map and a lot of lore not seen in the game itself.

[@KrisBrazil-l3v]

Little sister I knew most if not all of this , before your parents met 30 years ago.. still love the effort

[@MattAkiyama1]

I highly recommend the Redux rom hacks for the first two Zelda games instead of playing the plain vanilla version. They improve upon the original games in many ways that make them more enjoyable. It's like an updated version of the games. Even removing some of the issues you mentioned in the video such as being able to manual save with controller 1, and no flashy screen when dying in Zelda II. There's also Redux hacks for A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening that are also much better ways to play them. There's also a PC version of Zelda II which is also fantastic to play and adds a few new areas that are a nice surprise. Overall, I wouldn't recommend touching the original versions.

[@Bashfulday]

I agree, I do like the simplicity of the earlier Zelda games. The newer games are for sure more open and a free to roam type of game play, you can go forever without even doing a quest!

[@murmirr]

@@Bashfulday very true! though i will admit i have a slight distaste for that, only because its trying to replicate exactly what zelda 1 was without the core elements. and also without adding crucial elements that could have made zelda 1 better such as a thought out plot and well written story/characters that aren't flashes of memory, and more opportunity for in depth world building. i won't go into my full extent of opinions on that because we here for days LOL, i by no means hate those games, they are just different and not for me, which is fine! i just see a lot of opportunity there that wasn't taken, you know? i hope you have a good day! ❤️

[@_OCPGAMING]

I'm not sure who this video is meant for, as all of this information, ALL OF IT, has been well documented over the years on KZbin, much less magazines, message boards, FAQ's, etc. That being said, you did a good job in presenting the information, without adding on a bunch of unnecessary fluff. So, kudos to that. I just hope you set sights on games that haven't been overly documented to death in the future.

[@Bashfulday]

Thank you, everyone has to start somewhere and I chose to start somewhere I was familiar with. I plan on having a WIDE variety of games in the future that I plan on making content for. I’m aware it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but for some of the newer players or even the older players seeing new representation of the series they know or are just finding out about could be helpful for them. 😁

[@SECONDQUEST]

I enjoyed the video, you did a good job. My only critique is to pick a topic that has less saturation on KZbin if you want to stand out. If you're just making videos for fun then you're nailing it
