Giant Cucco! - 9 Cool Things About Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Part 16)

[@g2a5b0e]

The custom cam angles in this video are absolutely amazing.

[@IvanFranco120]

Yeah

[@randomuploaderguy]

It's the OoT Speedrun Practice ROM. You can manipulate your camera, show hit boxes and world collision planes, etc. The Majora's Mask speedrun practice ROM isn't as fleshed out as OoT's and in many cases doesn't work the same way, sadly.

[@unison_moody]

@@randomuploaderguy Speedrun Practice ROM? You mean Debug Rom for sure.

[@rmissing3361]

@@randomuploaderguy It's not, it actually the official debug camera used for cutscenes

[@MrFoxInc]

1:51 Ohh, even using Link's animations to make it more visually interesting! I love the ideas you put into this, good work once again!

[@arthurbarros5189]

That probably was a lot of work.

[@IvanFranco120]

The looking animation sure was detailed...😏

[@chompythebeast]

Ok yeah that was even better than I thought it'd be, the camera panning and Link still being there is sort of peak Zelda cinema, peak 90s indie thriller flair. Bravo, Looygi Bros

[@escopeto7849]

You guys are like a fairy fountain: Always spreading a refreshing plethora of Zelda secrets at the end of a strenous day - Thank you for sharing!~

[@LooygiBros]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@Zersetzor]

I love how you have Link look at stuff. It's a really nice touch and fits perfectly with the content. Also how crazy is it that they fixed the compass for the remake?

[@radioactivejackal]

The compass was probably fixed because they remade every texture from scratch for OoT 3D, and they probably noticed while remaking the compass that it was wrong

[@phattjohnson]

@@radioactivejackal I noticed how out of alignment it looked more than anything! :P

[@SECONDQUEST]

The remake had so much attention to detail. They did such a good job

[@winkone101]

Twinrova: "East? I thought you said 'Weast'"

[@Kaitri]

The giant cucko is fascinating. In speedruns you pretty much never see this place but since i was a kid i was curious about it. This clip with it really was satisfaction pure. 20 years later i finally got to see it up close. The curiosity that bound us all at a young age

[@TommyViper]

This is so awesome, you're still finding new ways to rip this game apart. It's truly amazing just how much detail was put into the game and most of us never knew 90% of these things! Can't wait for the next one!!!

[@raidonothoboi4842]

I like the fact the Bubble's eyes change based on Link's tunic, just like the Gerudo. Because in the randomizer, Link's tunic can be any color as well as the Bombchu trail. The Bombchu trail can also have a rainbow fade, which means bubbles can have rainbow eyes! I gotta try that. Now I wonder what other things in OoT change to the tunic and bombchu trails. Also that hover boots/fish bottle trick is super useful in randomizers. I only known iron boots/hookshot.

[@IvanFranco120]

That's nice

[@Sauraen]

The Bubble's eyes is just that they forgot to set the prim color before rendering it. If it just matched Link's tunic that could have been intentional, but matching the colors of other things rendered before just means it's an oversight.

[@devonm042690]

@@Sauraen It's the same with Aveil. Yes I know she doesn't have a name, but Avail of Termina's Gerudo Pirates uses the same model, just with the color actually set.

[@garrettchandler1948]

I wonder if that is the reason they removed the eye color in MM

[@KairuHakubi]

@@garrettchandler1948 possibly even by mistake.

[@KaguyaH]

Not sure if it's been mentioned in previous parts, but there's something interesting about the Twinrova fight. In earlier builds of Ocarina of Time the Water Medallion was an Ice Medallion. If you look at the magic sigil that both Koume and Kotake use during the fight, in the center of Koume's Fire Sigil you'll see the symbol used for the Fire Medallion and on Kotake's you'll see the symbol used for the Water Medallion, presumably when this boss was programmed the Water Medallion was still an Ice one.

[@devonm042690]

Kotake's sigil is the symbol on the Water Medallion because the symbol on the Water Medallion is the symbol for ice.

[@calmac938]

The production value is off the charts. Custom cut scenes?!? Very well done

[@eduardorpg64]

The fact that Nintendo fixed the compass in the Twinrova arena for the 3D remake is mind-blowing! The attention to detail that the devs put into both the original OOT and the remake is insane, and I appreciate it. I never noticed that compass thing when I originally played the game. I didn't know that the Hylian letters meant "N", "W", "E", and "S" either. I get the feeling that, if it weren't for this video, many people wouldn't have noticed that the east and west directions were inverted in the original OOT, and the wouldn't have noticed that they got fixed in the remake. Nintendo is amazing!

[@Adamski20XX]

At 3:38, that up-close free-look thing actually makes a lot of sense when you remember Ocarina of Time was originally built in the same engine as Super Mario 64

[@ghost198810]

I think that BOTW is the first zelda that don't use the engine of super mario 64

[@JBaughb]

@@ghost198810 I know wind waker, twilight princess and skyward sword all used the same engine, but I believe they are unrelated to the Oot engine.

[@deepcovergecko]

@@ghost198810 Get your facts straight, only Ocarina and Majora used the mario 64 engine.

[@ghost198810]

@@deepcovergecko I had read this in an old article but it may have been false. TWW, TP and SS have the same engine.

[@LupinticDream]

@@JBaughb IIRC, Wind Waker used a very heavily modified Majora's Mask engine, but it's been awhile since I've source checked that.

[@davestrides]

so cool! and i definitely agree with another commenter that using links animation to check the compass was a really cool touch

[@BR-jw7pm]

There are only three certainties in life: 1: Death 2: Taxes 3: Ocarina of Time detail videos

[@zenbmonk1016]

I love finding out more about the Zelda franchise when these videos drop. Didn't know until now that the Bubbles eyes match links tunic, just like the Gerudo's Link fights.

[@oreganoCure]

Considering the use of mirrors in the spirit temple, maybe it being backwards was intended. You use the mirror shield to win the fight in that room, after all

[@phattjohnson]

I was thinking that!

[@maskedfoxx7173]

If it was intentional why flip it the right way in the 3D version though? 🤔

[@ALivingFlame]

That's a clever head-canon!!

[@oreganoCure]

@@maskedfoxx7173 the 3ds remake was made by a different team. They could've noticed it and assumed it was a mistake, so they fixed it

[@TheHylianBatman]

Very nicely made with Link's animations! Great job!

[@DreadlordZolias]

About the lake laboratory trick... I think it's actually a check within the game to see if you're touching the bottom after having the iron boots on, which if true disables the trigger. It might also have an internal timer for after the boots are removed before the trigger reactivates, ensuring that removing the boots will simply not fool the game... but then forgot about the box with the skulltula inside being a hookshotable target lol

[@navaldeus1327]

I've played this game many, many, MANY times, and there are still things I've never seen or noticed before... Thanks a lot for your hard work!

[@IvanFranco120]

May try the 2D games first before the 3D ones

[@navaldeus1327]

[@michaeldavis9190]

I don't know if you've ever shown this, but if you haven't, I think you'd find it interesting. When Deku Link makes a bubble, his head gets smaller as the bubble gets bigger.

[@EdibleOneNine]

I appreciate the details they give to games in general. I also appreciate the people who look for these small things to show to others. Thanks.

[@Baddaby]

2:50 to me this just solidifies the fact that OOT3D was made with waaay more care and passion than MM3D The first had such an attention to detail, that they would correct such a small error. The second needed a fan remake.

[@jonsmith5058]

Well MM3D didnt try to fix glitches or mistakes, it tried to ‘fix’ gameplay features and just made them worse. Truly tragic as MM is an incredible game with characters waaaay more complex and interesting than OOT, its crazy what they did in such a short time. It deserves a quality remake.

[@Baddaby]

@@jonsmith5058 you should really try the fan HD remade then, they really did a great job

[@Howitchewstofeel5gum]

It's not that MM3D didn't have any attention to detail, it's just that they "fixed" stuff that didn't need fixing and thus made it worse in the process. They did too much rather than too little.

[@schalomforever]

I really love your videos! I always learn something new and the editing is always done so damn well! 🔥👌

[@demetriuskafkoulas5005]

One of my favorite details that I don't see mentioned much: The sages of the game are actually named after the towns found in Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link. Ruto, Rauru, Nabooru, Saria, and Darunia are all town names in that game. Curiously, Impa isn't a town name, but there IS a town named Mido.

[@StarShine480]

In an early build of Ocarina of Time (a 1997 SpaceWorld demo that was translated to English and put up on romhacking), the medallions on the quest status screen describe them as being "seals" instead. The Shadow Medallion says "Mido's Seal". Maybe Mido was intended to be a sage instead of Impa.

[@rynobehnke8289]

I think Impa comes from the Name of Zelda servent that recruted Link to save hyrule in Zelda 1 manual

[@brandoncolis3841]

Kasuto is another town from Zelda 2, but I do not see any reference to that in any of the other Zelda games.

[@brandoncolis3841]

@@StarShine480 It would have been very interesting to see since Mido is a Kokiri and supposedly cannot leave the forest though we see him, Link, and Saria are all in Hyrule field at the epilogue.

[@StarShine480]

@brandoncolis3841 There is a reason for that, as described in Hyrule Historia, actually! The reason that the Kokiri will die if they leave the forest is due to the Deku Tree's magic keeping them from aging. But the magic doesn't extend to outside the forest. Hence, the Kokiri start aging again and eventually die, like a normal person.

Se puede ver el cariño y la calidad que dejas en tus videos. Sigue así, excelentes videos y curiosidades.

[@LuxOx412]

It is incredible how secrets of Zelda Ocarina Of Time are still being discovered today, not to mention the small details that the developers included even though one could not see them with the naked eye in a normal game. This shows that developers in the past put more love and dedication into games, but today they eliminate many details due to development time issues. (In those days, video games and their developers were not as exploited as they are today). excellent video 🙌

[@KairuHakubi]

ehhh they still worked ridiculous hours, it was just by choice instead.

[@RootVegetabIe]

Most developers didn't put this much effort into things most people would never see or care about. It's silly to act like every game was like OoT.

[@GymnopedieTornado]

Honestly, I would watch like one of those “hour long mixes” of this game’s music if it was your outros or custom camera work. It’s always so good!!

You know what's neat about the diving heartpiece glitch? It shows how the game was programmed. So they would have programmed it so all you need to actually do is touch the bottom to get the heartpiece, but they also added an exception where it doesn't count if you're wearing the iron boots.

[@nononame26]

You can escape the cuccoo attack by standing with your back to a wall and using 1st person to look straight up. Its pretty funny, the cuccoos just shoot off in random directions like darts and despawn

[@randomuploaderguy]

When Link swings his sword and says SKANK, I feel that. He really hates jars and pots.

[@GanonGhidorah]

When I was a kid...I survived a cuccoo attack in Kakariko. It took a lot of effort to keep moving without getting hit, and I ran through all of my bottled fairies...but eventually, they gave up. I couldn't believe it; it had never happened before... I told my older brother; but he didn't believe me. So I tried to replicate it...but never could. And I never found anyone else online who could verify that it _was possible._ ...Until now...

[@chompythebeast]

The colors of the Bubbles changing is a lot like the Gerudo guards' clothes changing depending on your tunic (can't remember if you've covered that one in these vids), specifically the ones who attack or confront you in the Fortress when you free the carpenters. Their entire outfit will spontaneously change color a split second after you unpause having changed clothes. Presumably both of these are instances where the code is pulling from the same pallet as other loaded assets, either to save memory or due to a simple glitch or oversight. My money is on it being a memory-saving function, though the Gerudo instance is quite jarring. But it's hard to imagine it wasn't seen in bug-squashing, so I guess they were just cool with it

[@WhoIsSirChasm]

For the giant Cucco in the Bombchu Bowling Alley, is it possible to attack it using cheats? I'm curious if it'd be a significantly larger Cucco's Revenge Squad.

[@SuperPrestogamer]

I would imagine these cuccos are coded not to attack, since you can hit them with bombchus and nothing happens except they get stunned, which is actually unique cause when you attack a regular cucco they run away…

Really really early beta versions of OOT didn’t have any first person aiming at all actually! The sim functioned like it does now but it looked like how aiming looks when you’re targeting something (that over the shoulder sort of look) So the looking around animation is probably a leftover from that!

[@marshmellow9070]

Thanks for looking at the Jukebox! ☺️

[@39peevedturtles19]

I remember I used the hookshot/shoes glitch in oot 3d! There was a glitch involving the touch screen buttons and farores wind in castle town. You have to select it for the few frames it's selectable after closing the menu, and the camera angle changed. I'm pretty sure I used that same method to take off the iron boots while using the hookshot and got the heart piece. Later I went back and did a legitimate 100% run and had to do it the legit way. Not fun. Kinda impressed I figured that out I was like, 11.

[@devonm042690]

In OoT3d you can just hit the button to take the Iron Boots off after you hook the crate before Link lands. It doesn't require the restricted items glitch.

[@Mote.]

I've learned so much from your videos. Thank you Looygi Bros

[@Diwasho]

Since OoT is built on Mario 64's engine I guess it's not too surprising that the looking animations in first person mode carried over, and they probably wanted to avoid clipping the camera through the head so making it move out of the way depending on the angle makes sense.. But it's a nice detail, modern games typically just remove the head or push it way back or down. I wonder if TP retained that quirk of OoT's first person since it still had substantial parts of SM64's engine left in its code even though it was a decade old by that point.

[@nousernameinputed]

I could be wrong, but I believe those same 1st person animations are used in Majora's Mask during the boat ride.
