Good one

[@jaqirei]

Guess we know why the guy sitting under the tree at night in Future Kakariko called his poacher dad disgusting. I think his mother at the potion shop adopted the baby tiger after her husband killed the poor baby's parents. Or maybe she's in on the scheme and raises them for fur, which is why she was called disgusting, too.

[@Arasarcan]

I never knew that the potion shop owner is his mother! Is there and in-game reference to that? 😯

[@jaqirei]

​@@Arasarcan The potion shop lady was only speculated to being sad tree guy's mother because of vague comments she makes during the Odd Mushroom quest, but it's never explicitly stated. Later it was confirmed outside the game in an official Zelda encyclopedia endorsed by Nintendo. Every wiki I look at says the potion shop lady and the master craftsman are married, and the cucco lady and the guy under the tree are their kids.

[@KairuHakubi]

or she just wanted a pet baby tiger and sent her husband out to get her one, and he killed the mom in the process to make pants. Either way, what's weird to me is the tigers are _yellow._ a feature often seen in old asian art, but not on any real tigers.

[@Arasarcan]

[@scantyer]

Bruh what how

[@McSandwich121]

@@scantyer Because it's a game released in 1998 that I played when I was like 5 on a crappy CRT so the visuals weren't exactly up to snuff and I didn't exactly pay much attention to it.

[@Diwasho]

There was another youtuber who pointed this out as well, then he proceeded to check EVERY building in the game to see if the windows inside and outside line up correctly, and in many cases they don't.

[@justadude257]

The circles around the guard is impressive! As was the trick shots with the pots! I have never done that before. I also have never realized that stuff you went over about Link's house. Ha ha, crazy, the stuff you learn years later about a classic!

[@DementisXYZ]

I'm sorry, but my biggest takeaway from this one was that the Carpenter and the Potion Shop lady are married. Never knew that one.

[@HailSocialite]

I think it's adorable how you always use the word "stylish." Makes me smile

[@ByoKora775]

PMTTYD timin those parries or counters was always fun and landing the stylishes were fun too

[@user-if4nx2jn8r]

Even though it looks silly it's actually kind of impressive for a brief mechanic used in one area in 1998 the Gerudo have a rudimentary line of sight. I know the Dekus in the palace in MM do since the game shows you it at night, but I wasn't sure how it worked in Ocarina of Time.

[@unison_moody]

the guards in the castle have was well!

[@Refreshment01]

Well maybe you this will impress you a bit more: They actually programed how far the gerudo guards could see depending of time of the day. At night their viewing distance is quite reduced. Devs of this game are getting really old, so i would like to hear a compilation of the ideas they had fr the game when it was planned for the 64 DD. Some of the stuff i heard was beyond anything at the time.

[@user-if4nx2jn8r]

@@Refreshment01 That does impress me!

[@clonedbraixen]

The Beatles reference is sick, I never knew that before! And also needs to interrogate the Dying Guard at the Market's Backalley.

[@ThePurpleSpartan]

Fado says the poacher's saw is what remains of Grog when you talk to her during the Biggoron quest chain. Grog is the Master Craftsman's son. Suddenly Grog being in the OoT Lost Woods with a poaching saw sorta makes his Majora's Mask counterpart hit all kinds of different.

[@KairuHakubi]

I think it's safe to say he stole it from his dad. possibly because he thinks the poaching his dad does is disgusting.

[@diegotoonmaster]

Majora's Mask: Anju's dress and Kafei's sleeves have the same design, just with the opposite colors

[@myopia8097]

I've been ranting about that window in Link's treehouse for years. They didn't even fix it in the 3ds remaster!

[@ForumcoldiArchon]

Cause from the inside you can clearly see its made out of the tree itself and is closable. People always close their Windows when leaving to make it harder for thieves (here maybe squirrels) from entering. Its therefore conceiled and stealthy

[@TheSonicFairy]

🎶Ring-a-round the Gerudo... A pocket full of rupees... Bomb-chu! Bomb-chu! We all fall down!🎶

Wow, those facts about the Gerudo guards are really, really neat! And I never expected two of my favorites to ever cross paths, and yet: The Beatles are referenced in Ocarina of Time! Only the German version, but still. Very cool!

[@macuser7048]

Zimmerman is a reference too. Hans Zimmerman!

[@YokusaHHart]

Imagine your a desert bandit, just trying to guard your secret base and mind your own business. And then some pretty-boy teenager dressed green breaks in, screams his head off and throws a pot at your head.

[@YouDoNotKnowWhoIAm]

He's wearing green.. that part's important

[@navaldeus1327]

The Gerudo Fortress is one of the parts that always gives me a challenge... and now I see that you can literally run around the guards. I'm not sure if you're an OoT master or if I suck 😅 Next time I play, I must do the jar knock-out!

[@YouDoNotKnowWhoIAm]

Good luck with the jars

[@lennonnicolas5994]

What can be seen as another fun reference with the carpenters is that all of their last names are the same as Bob Dylan's birth sir name aka Zimmerman!

[@seriouskano2]

I mean, Zimmermann is German for carpenter so I don't think that one's intentional.

[@MrEnte3000]

That's not their last name, that's their profession.

I like how the gerudo guard didn't even react to one of the other gerudo guards getting a clay pot thrown at her. how did the other gerudo guard not hear that, when she was RIGHT there?? 😂

Ok, so I've been reading a lot of negative comments that ''Oh, this isn't anything special, I found this out at the age of -BLUGH-!'' But can we just take a moment to appreciate the combined efforts of editing and camera work? THAT is something that sticks out imo.

[@nathanieldeclarador1466]

Link makes the drawings on his house because he had already fought and defeated Ganon. He warped back in time and doodled his adventures.

[@johnfeather6476]

You know, if Link’s house was originally planned to be in the Lost Woods, that definitely would’ve helped push the narrative that Link was an outsider amongst the Kokiri for not having a fairy companion. That would’ve been such a clever detail.

[@perks6292]

Hitting the Gerudo guards with the pots made me lol

[@jatekforditok]

Another day, another Looygi video. Makes my day better

[@LochNessHamster]

The pre-rendered view from the doorway and window in Link's house was really striking to me as a child. Those monolithic woodland towers; silhouetted in the dense, green fog of the forest. Assassin's Creed 2's San Giacomo's skyline at dawn and dusk had a very similar feeling. I know now that it's more of a product of the limitations of the N64's graphics, but as a kid the mix of organic woodland scenery and strikingly sharp geometric shapes created a really memorable aesthetic to me. As if the gods carved this land out of the earth itself with perfect precision. Particularly in the Lost Woods and Sacred Forest Meadow. It's an aesthetic that I associate very strongly with Zelda.

[@elianewinter2638]

As someone who grew up with the german version i had no idea that the Beatles reference was unique to it. That’s cool!

[@XMan2001X]

2:56 The programmers must’ve REALLY loved Tom & Jerry enough to include one of their routines in this already timeless game. 😂

[@johnsmith5255]

Sure, one can focus on the big cat head in the shooting gallery since we're talking about tigers and the like, but does anyone wonder why they also got a horse head among the trophies?

[@marcybones64]

i would love to see videos like these devoted to the added details in OoT3D and MM3D!

[@JJAB91]

If you pay close attention you can see Link's house when he is outside of his house doesn't match the size of it when hes inside it. Using Link's model as a gauge you can see its much larger when you're inside, OoT is actually full of this. For example the Fire Temple is two large vertical shafts, the implication is its located inside spectacle rock as seen in Death Mountain Crater but if you use a website like no-clip you can easily see the temple is too large to fit inside the two rocks as seen in game. The same is true for the Spirit Temple which is supposed to be located inside the Desert Colossus but the temple would be too large to fit inside the in game colossus. I personally see this as every location in the overworld is a scaled down version of what it would be "in lore" due to the N64's limitations.

[@Mote.]

Thank you for all the great videos.

[@richardlabrie515]

About hitting Gerudo guards with jar, you can also kill GS with them. A nice way to progress out of logic in randomizers when you're stuck without a weapon

[@DarkSavior_Elis]

the good o'l Gerudo guard pot attack made me chuckle! :D

[@pinklovr3]

Idk if this was shown in the last Gerudo color changing clothes, but if you take out Cojiro (the blue chicken) while the Gerudo is wearing green, the Gerudo changes to the Red outfit

[@calebstevens1935]

Note for the piece of heart in Zora’s Fountain: Link can also acquire that (as well as get on top of the other ice floes that share its behavior) by wearing the hover boots. (I was shocked to not see this method in the video.) A couple more peculiar thing about Link’s boots: The iron boots cause him to walk slower on land but quicker underwater. (Most people [especially seasoned players] probably have noticed these.) However, from what I have observed, his swimming animation (and possibly ability) seems slower while he wears the hover boots. (?) Has anyone else noticed that?

[@ChampionRevilo]

I'm more suprised by the FREAKIN RIFLE in the shooting gallery more than anything else.

[@SharpingtonTheGreat]

I love how you mention hunting trophies and then immediately pan up to the horse's head 💀Also that looks different from the regular horse mesh/texture. I wonder if it was an old placeholder or if they intentionally used a different model?

[@CraniamonRoyalKnight]

There is something that you have probably miss Looygi Bros about Ganon (Final boss as boar form. Not Ganondorf): If you look carefully between OoT64, OoT3DS and Smash Ult, you notice somes details about Ganon. For example N64 Ganon have just 4 fingers while the one from OoT3DS and Smash Ult have 5 fingers. N64 Ganon have just 2 sharp teeth into his jaw while Oot3DS Ganon have 4 sharp teeth into his jaw while Smash Ult Ganon have better quality and more sharp teeth into his jaws. N64 Ganon don't have any tongue but 3DS and Smash Ult Ganon have a tongue despite 3DS ganon tongue is almost visible. N64 Ganon have a black thing clothe (the armor destroyed) behind his head with a yellow O draw on it while 3DS the destroyed armor is better see but missing the O yellow draw in back while Smash Ult Ganon have missing armor and missing yellow O draw and just have red clothe. There is more details to say like the horn on head who are different but it's to you to found out what else I didn't tell ;) If you wonder how I can know it, I use a 3D animation software called Source Filmmaker and use Gmods for export somes models from Gmods to SFM and people have manage to export Ganon from OoT64, OoT3DS and Smash Ult so it's more easy for me to notice thoses details ;)

[@Mari_Izu]

3DS and Smash models were closer than the artwork (that could be or not be made after the N64 model)

[@Hexstream]

Absolutely insane that I never realized the window at the back of Link's house is just not there from the outside...

Nah, the guy's a misanthrope, he thinks everyone is disgusting and only calls you nice guy because you brought Cojiro to him.

[@1BlueYoshi]

Somehow, throwing the pot to knock out the guards seems more violent than using a sword lol

[@kenhollis6197]

I'm quite sure that "Poacher" is what Fado called the craftsman's son; he did, after all, steal the saw from his parents. I think it more likely that the tiger is a family symbol or mascot, and the craftsman's pants are synthetic. His son was just a depressed misanthrope. His sister, the Cucco lady, is obviously an animal lover, so I doubt she would abide by her father being a poacher of tigers.

[@ChaoticHoly]

Huh. Never put 2+2 together between OoT Master Craftsman's tiger-fur pants & BotW Bolson's tiger-fur vest until now.

Grog's father is the Master Craftsman and when you get the saw from him it's called Poacher's Saw so...yeah.

[@HighPriestFuneral]

Interestingly in the beta version it was just the Master's Saw, so this was an intentional change.

[@michaelappleseed1993]

These video’s are amazing

[@Aelvir114]

The Craftsman is worse than a poacher he’s an idiot that got his son killed. But Fado is an even worse person. Not only is she the only Kokiri that we see to actually judge Link outside of Mido, she says that the only people who can’t get lost on the woods is the Kokiri, but it is heavily implied she let him leave (or even convinced him to) to become lost and turn into a Stalfos, when she could have shown him the way out. She literally killed a man. Wouldn’t surprise me if she did the same to the Graveyard Kid and the Death Mountain Gate guard.

[@ThouzandWattz]

[@kingnewcomer2029]

I'm guessing maybe the Poacher's Saw was called something else in the Japanese version that might've fitted the craftsman aspect better? Who knows? Also, I don't really care if there were any tigers that were harmed in Ocarina Of Time since they're not real.
