I love how Link is exhausting under water, breathes in and then realises that this makes him die.

[@mickkelley3776]

Imagine coming into the room like Link did with the hovering superslide. Major style points, cha cha real smooth.

[@mickkelley3776]

@@KairuHakubi I was thinking more like that one scene with the guy sliding into the room after turning on "Old Time Rock and Roll" - no idea where the original comes from but I've seen parodies of it everywhere; heck, once even on Fairly OddParents.

[@Dvdsmith2002]

[@Diaage]

Seeing this reminded me of how my dad and I would challenge each other to do the Fire and Water Temple without the tunics and with the fewest amount of hearts as possible. We also would deliberately skip the bottom of the well and do the Shadow Temple without the Lens of Truth as it is not required to complete that temple.

[@BeingBetterBarney]

If that's real... That's cute asf.

[@Kaldrin]

This is so cool

[@Diaage]

@@BeingBetterBarney it was at least 15 to 18 years ago as I was in Jr high at that point but I enjoyed the challenge.

[@rachelnielsen167]

I remember one summer I decided to practice speed running the game without glitches it think the best I ever got was 1.5 hours for the first part (child) and 3-4 so a total of around 5-6 hours for the second I kinda want to get back into it maybe try out some glitches. I remember using the forest as a quick way to get to each temple once I had unlocked all the passages. Mind you this was back when I was like 7 or 8 so it's been a hot minute although I recently got ocarina of time for the 3ds again, I had originally played on the n64 and I got to the shadow temple in about 4 straight hours which I was impressed with given that I hadn't played in forever

[@Osai1234]

You have the coolest dad ever

[@A7XRaydog247]

Thank you for these videos, you've given us all a chance to feel the magic of discovering something new about a game that I think for many of us thought we had nothing left to discover

[@KairuHakubi]

seriously. and there were already SO MANY things like this in this game, it's freaking impossible that there are so many more. I've been studying these for 20-ass years.

[@UniverseofDominion]

This completely. I used to pride myself on knowing everything about OoT, until this series. I love the fact that there are so many tiny details still under our noses that enrich the world and reveal elements of the game's creation. Bravo fr

[@aurafox1]

The fact that the timer doesn't appear at all at 1/16th of a heart is very fascinating to me as a programmer. It sounds to me like Link's health is stored as a floating point number (that is, it's capable of differentiating between 1, 1.5, and 2, for example.) But the timer converts that floating point to an integer (that is, it can only differentiate between 1 and 2 with that same example, 1.5 is read as a 1). I imagine what's going on under the hood here is that the game stores Link's "real" HP as a floating point value allowing it to be divided several times, but the heart display and timers display it as an integer value. The heart meter representing a quarter heart for every 2 HP and the timer reflecting the exact integer value of Link's HP with 1 HP = 1 Second. The reason this is significant is the truncation of the decimal part of a floating point value in conversion to an integer. If my understanding is correct, then "1/8 of a heart" equates to 1 HP, in which case 1/16 of a heart equates to 0.5 HP. The heart meter recognizes that Link's HP is not zero, so it doesn't remove the last heart. However, the timer tries to convert 0.5 to an integer resulting in receiving the number 0. When the timer ticks down to 0, Link is killed and the timer disappears. But since the timer starts at 0 rather than ticking down to it, Link is not killed but the timer disappears instantly as intended. I wonder if Ocarina of Time will ever get Pannenkoek levels of coverage...

[@Kram0tron]

It's so nice to see these "X cool things you didn't know about X!" videoes. No talking/commentary, no web camera of some guy, no "this video has been sponsored by X", just pure gameplay with game sound effects.

[@ladylite]

Holy hell thank you yesss I agree. None of the heyyy like and subscribe for more content like I understand the grind but if I liked you I’d subscribe without you asking lol

[@MrDrBoi]

These videos are absolutely fascinating. Even with the things I did know, I find out little nuggests like the fact that fire damage only does 1/8 of heart. Excellent stuff!

[@devonm042690]

It does less than that. If it did 1/8 at a time, the final bit of #3 wouldn't be possible.

[@juan95194]

This video series is like gamespot's on breath of the wild. Every time I'm in disbelief that there's another video and absolutely confused to not know any of this and I loved this game all my life. Fantastic work

[@Jisawbam]

Love your channel. I've seen a million "10 Things You Didn't Know About X!" videos over the years and it's always the same stuff. You manage to buck this trend. Keep up the great work!

[@CernMog]

I absolutely love this series! Many obscure facts - weirdly enough after my many years of playing this game I've never seen the Shadow Temple pit-fall?!

[@devonm042690]

"Make my beak face the 'Skull of Truth'. The alternative is descent into deep darkness." What did you think was gonna happen? Or did you think it meant the pit around the stone tongue, since solving the puzzle opened the way forward?

[@RestlessWandererOriginal]

[@realoctolink64]

6:50 I didn't even know you could use a regular arrow for this... As a kid I was so stuck at this part, I had to go on my parents computer very early in the morning and look up where to get the fire arrows 😭

[@jonathanlampkin6673]

The hover into solid ground seems intentional. Like an extra thing for that dungeon specific item to do in it's intended dungeon.

[@SyphistPrime]

A fun thing to cover might be how the game codes in strength upgrades and how you can RBA different colored ones. Another good topic is how much damage enemies take from different sources and how they have certain weaknesses. Regardless what you cover I'll still watch though. I'm always down to learn new things about this game.

[@SomeoneElsesSomeoneElse]

Not to be too nit-picky but I feel you should measure the backslide glitch from the moment you pull a bomb from the bag. The extra seconds it takes to perform the glitch still count if you were to race a back-stepping link to the gate.

[@JLees_96]

Your vids are totally unique to other youtube videos, and also 10x more interesting than the random trivia you often see on other channels

[@nickmiller8855]

On my first play through as a kid, I never figured out how to get the goron tunic so I just beat out the timers in the fire temple. I found if you go through doors it resets the timer so sometimes I would leave a room and re enter it if the timer was low.

[@explosionpills]

For #8 there is also a scarecrow you can summon with the scarecrow song to hookshot across

[@MasterHigure]

I discovered a few years ago that all soft soil skulltulas jump out and land on the south side of the soil patch. This was apparently unknown to people in the speedrunning discord at the time, so I gather it is unknown to the general public as well.

[@Fabstron]

Man I've been playing this game on an almost yearly basis and your videos still manage to show me new things. Thank you!

[@conr__]

[@IvanFranco120]

[@cinemagoose]

With the shadow temple skull of truth puzzle, you can also use the infinite sword glitch to survive, since in that state Link just floats in the air until the floor comes back.

[@dankness420]

but to perform ISG, its not only a frame perfect imput, but also you need to open a textbox (anything Z-targetable/navi/signs) other than waiting 2,000 years for navi, is there a way to get ISG in that room? ISG= infinite sword glitch

[@cinemagoose]

@@dankness420 If you are fast enough, you can drop a bomb and get ISG with it before throwing it away and avoiding the explosion. There might also be a signpost in that room. If you turn away from it while crouching, you won't knife it in half and can keep trying in perpetuity.

I had no idea the timers were linked to how much health you had, that was very neat to learn

[@pchurch692]

Glad to see you back and that the issue got sorted out! Great content as always!

[@chompythebeast]

Actually, Stonehenge marks the _Winter_ Solstice, not the Summer one, despite the large congregations that form around the place in the (far more comfortable) summer event. Other megalithic sites around the world are of course aligned to the Summer Solstice, the Equinoxes, and other celestial events. In any case, that's an awesome little detail I never knew about this game―I love how these vids _still_ actually manage to contain things I somehow didn't know about one of the greatest games ever made Edit: Ok wow that 1/16th heart exploit is amazing. Does the timer start if you gain health? I gotta try that

[@FFKonoko]

I'm not an expert but I thought it marks both the midwinter sunset at the winter solstice and the midsummer sunrise at the summer solstice. At the summer solstice the sun rises behind the Heel Stone.

[@DarkMirria1]

I love these videos because they’re actually full of things about OoT I didn’t already know.

[@calebstevens1935]

I don’t know if you cover this in any of your videos. But, here are a couple of neat things that I like to simply watch from time to time. 1. Hyrule Castle’s grotto (accessible during the child time only, after the Song of Storms has been learned) is the only grotto to have free-roaming bugs and an infinite supply of them. Other grottos’ bugs must be exposed by cutting the bushes with the sword or boomerang. 1a. Bugs do not appear if the bushes are picked up and dropped. 1b. Unless my memory is correct, they do appear if bombs are used. 2. Bugs will crawl on chests and wooden crates. Here is a minor detail that tends to be more of a nuisance at times. The floating objects (often rupees). (1 of the quickest ways to observe this is the like like in the child section of the Spirit Temple’s Master Quest layout. Have Link use Din’s Fire to defeat the like like and hit the crystal switch after it drops its rupees.) To the best of my knowledge, that was fixed in the version for the 3DS.

[@DarkLightProduction9]

link's idle animation where he swings his sword around for no reason, it has a hit box and can kill enemies.

[@robertplourde2447]

[@souio]

Welcome back!

[@HeranBago]

The legend returns

[@fireaza]

I'd wager that the reason for the extended time when underwater if you have more hearts is because they're simply re-purposing the code for the health system. While Link is underwater, he takes damage (though they don't reduce the number of hearts shown on the HUD) until he dies as normal, but with a special death animation.

[@omegarugal9283]

takes the amount of health you have and translates it into seconds left, with 1/8 being less than 1, rounded down to 0

[@BigBoy257]

[@linus327]

If you have issues with the superslide (it is fairly hard with one bomb), you can use Nayru's Love and shield and try to pick up the bomb and as long as you aren't too close Link will get stuck in an animation trying to pick up the bomb and will superslide backwards when it explodes! If you mess up and can't do anything, just backflip or sidehop, you got something called a ground jump. You can use it to grab ledges that you normally can't reach!

[@Dorraj]

Extra fact: #2 is called Inverse Kinematics in video games! This was extremely rare in games back then, so as a kid I really enjoyed seeing this. Tho most games now have it, it's still not a guarantee!
