The most hidden rupees! - 9 Cool Things About Zelda: Majora's Mask (Part 8)

[@ThePurpleCheeseMan]

4:15 I remember learning about this in Ocarina of Time. At lake hylia, I would change the time of day and jump into the water to hear the funny underwater wolf howl. It's cool that the bells are affected by this too!

[@reconsniper_9649]

Same but with navis z targeting

[@Octolicia]

I think what happen is that all sound effects are programmed the same way with a distortion effect added every time Link gets underwater. Like a switch or something.

[@MasterSpud]

So awesome to see these videos every time they’re in my recommended, Ocarina and Majora are so detailed and most people probably wouldn’t even know about half this stuff without these videos.

[@DarklyBigNozerz]

On the note of the water droplets, I noticed one day that they react to all REAL geometry. so underneath the graves I happened to see one crash into one of the stalagmites. And I wonder "Can you stand there??" And to my astonishment it turns out you can jump off one of the stalagmites using the bunny hood to get from the second grave to the first. Its super helpful if you wanna save the First day for something else.

[@TommyViper]

Almost feels like the gossip stone trick was a bit of a debug feature but it's certainly interesting nonetheless! Awesome finds!

I dont know for sure but I wanna say it's more of a fail safe if you miss all your bombchu shots. I missed them all in the 3ds remake and looked up a guide then discovered the song still works in the remake too

I can't believe I never knew they actually left a cardboard satsuma box in the final game―it's even more of an anachronism than the paper plane in Ikana! Easter eggs that seem meant _For Dev Eyes Only_ are always some of the most interesting

[@TheStorne]

considering majora's mask's short dev time, it's entirely possible it was intended to be a placeholder item only, and accidentally got left in.

[@ChillstoneBlakeBlast]

@@TheStorne Probably a joke from the devs to be honest. An old, short hag standing on a common cardboard box ..

[@Octolicia]

@@TheStorne Sometimes, Placeholder that aren't meant to be visible are left in. It's placeholders that are inevitably visibles (like wheel rims placeholders on a racing car) that must be removed. "Fixing something cost money and ressources." That phrase can't be more true for a video game: Fixing a placeholder requires a level editor to remove the item, a compile team to...compile the new build, QA testers to make sure that the new build remain stable... If it's not broken, don't fix it.

[@sadscrub]

Whoa that mask in the Stock Pot Inn also has three rupees in the 3DS version! You have to use the restricted items trick to bomb it though because the Zora barrier is greyed out

[@TheFatestPat]

I like how the tower in Clock Town ties in with the plot. They were supposed to build a bridge to the clock tower but the carpenters all ran off, which is why you need to do the whole moon tear trade quest. The boss is still there on the 3rd night, and he has different dialogue for the different Link transformations.

[@_Mars1040]

Another alternative way to beat a boss: You can stand at the entrance to Goht's lair and pelt him with Fire Arrows every time he passes. The pots with arrows and magic respawn infinitely. My brother and I found this out because our N64 controller was broken and you couldn't tilt forward on the analog stick all the way, making Goron racing impossible.

[@Nephrite_Harmony]

as a kid i always found #6 to be unexplainably funny, especially when the wolf howls

I did not know about the Song of Storms opening the paths in the Moon's Twinmold mini-dungeon. I'll need to remember that the next time I play the game.

[@brightwolfz]

The twinmold thing is what we do in Glitchless speedruns as we have Kokori Sword making Giant's mask extremely slow. Plus with single magic, giants mask resource management with low damage is a pain. We end up just skipping the chest entirely, haha. The hitbox is indeed wonky as the hitbox is only the inside diamond, not the entire tail, so it tends to feel like you shot right through it. Instead of 4 of each elemental type, however, we mix in regular arrow shots as 3 elemental + 1 normal shot is enough to kill. That way, with single magic, we should have plenty of shots for both twinmolds (although, I imagine top tier runners just don't miss their shots and they may be able to skip the normal bow shots, haha). For any inaccuracies, I must apologize, haven't ran the game since like 2017

[@adirblazkowics7717]

In the 3DS rerelease, the giants mask has Link punching Twinmold, and you get opportunities to grapple'em and do some honestly goofy looking moves

[@BR-jw7pm]

When recently replaying the 3ds remake and the Switch port, I used that song of storms secret to skip the bombchu puzzles. I found them online cuz I was gonna be damned if I ran out of bonbchus…

[@realoctolink64]

That's likely the exact reason why the skips exist, in case players run out of bombchu

[@chompythebeast]

@@realoctolink64 Of course, you'd have to know this trick ahead of time, since nothing indicates its existence to the player, and even worse, you have to activate these things the room _before._ So you'd have to kill the Iron Knuckle to be able to go back to play the song to unlock the first room. I don't know why it's there, or how they expected anyone to know about it

[@realoctolink64]

@@chompythebeast Yeah, that is definitely very weird. 😅 Maybe they planned to put the secret in an issue of Nintendo Power or something. Or it could be something for testing

[@evalinksarchives4045]

But they patched it in the 3DS version? The song of storms does not work on it. I've tried every OoT songs on 3DS to see if any worked and none (beside Song of Time and Epona's) works

[@foreverpyrite6343]

It's actually unintentional, the flag for the puzzle completion was actually stored on the same bit as the "has fairy spawned from gossip stone" flag (which was implemented to stop people from farming faires from the stones) causing the two to overlap allowing the skip. 100% unintentional. In fact, if you do the puzzle normally then go to play the song at the gossip stone as, you would for the skip, a fairy will not spawn.

[@dshaynietheawesome]

[@devonm042690]

I only found out about the Inn rupees because I'm playing an Allsanity Randomizer run. I only found out you need Zora Link because when I saw that the tracker was telling me I could get that location I started unticking what I'd ticked recently one by one until the tracker said I couldn't get it anymore. Really obscure, that.

[@user-if4nx2jn8r]

I've always wondered why they changed the Deku Palace in the Western versions. Sometimes it's pretty obvious why they would change something between versions, but that is totally inexplicable.

[@timurkral3781]

Yeah shut up

[@KairuHakubi]

it was kinda hard before it got changed.

[@TheGameCreator13]

Pacing. No reason to drag out a section that was already tough for most People to get right on their first playthrough. Maybe they should've added bombable rocks blocking these grotto's and if You came back later in the game You could get a Heart Piece for going through a chain of grotto's. The content going unused in the US/EU versions *IS* a shame but I think it was asking a bit much of the player who is still trying to get used to the 3 day limit. Majora's Mask is still pretty severe with it's crypticness as it is, the devs felt it was a tad too much for an early part of the game and I don't blame them. Possible I would've been fine with it but I don't represent everyone who plays this. Still reworking it into a heart piece challenge You seek out later would've been the best of both versions in my opinion

[@KairuHakubi]

@@TheGameCreator13 oh yeah american version also added the ability to suspend your game at an owl statue right? for same reason, less frustration. it's fascinating to me how eastern players are much more tolerant of a game not really respecting your time. I mean this is the country that had the BS Satellaview, where a game would be essentially 'broadcast' live, and you could only play it while it was up, for those hours, for that short period of the week, and then it was gone forever.. and we worry about online games getting taken down now.

You can actually complete a heart container as Deku Link within the 1st 3 day cycle. You can obtain these 4 heart pieces in Clock Town as Deku Link during this cycle. The 1st one can be obtained on the Clock Tower deck after trading the Moon’s Tear. The 2nd one can be obtained by winning the postman’s game on nights 1 and 2. The 3rd one can be obtained by trading the title deed at the inn after midnight. The 4th one can be obtained by winning the Deku Playground game 3 times each day.

[@thanesmashmontages412]

Back again! I’ll just keep adding this until hopefully you see it and put it in a future video: During the fight with Majora’s Mask, when you get to Majora’s Wrath, if you do enough damage for it to start attacking you with the lasso tentacles, change into Deku Link. Because Deku Link is small and light, when Majora’s Wrath throws you over its shoulder, you can actually fly across the entire arena. If aimed just right, you can get it to throw you into the alcove where Majora’s Mask is stuck to the wall at the very beginning of the fight. This makes it nearly impossible for Majora to hit you. This is only doable in the N64 version. On 3DS they patched it and there’s an invisible barrier over the alcove.

[@KairuHakubi]

The tower thing was so obvious, and then the water drops, I was like come on everybody noticed that... then you pointed out the different sound when the drop hits Link, and suddenly I'm blown away again.

Getting them to spawn can be tricky, but I've found that looking at those locations as soon as you look through the telescope to have pretty good odds. Edit: I misremembered and you did already cover the Telescope Guays, so I'll request you cover about the Song Wall in north Termina Field instead. Every in-game hour the reward for playing the song changes, there's different rewards at 6, 8/12/16/24, 2/10/14/18/22, 4/20, and every odd numbered hour.
