My Childhood Ocarina of Time Cartridge 25 Years Later

[@commonwealthrealm]

This game is the definition of magical.

[@miniDrew4]

I remember playing this in fourth grade... all drawing pictures of Link, talking about getting stuck in the water temple, how great the music was, etc. My parents recently moved out of the house I grew up in and I found my original strategy guide with all the songs written down by hand. Simply one of the greatest games ever made.

[@Derpgamer2016]

You still gotta finish the master quest series

[@DismaliciouSx]

🥺

[@rehansubramanyam9148]

Truuu it’s been so long

[@usertoto6969]

Yes

[@usertoto6969]

True

[@Alphaproductions768]

That’s not the only series he needs to finish

[@litfilms_7]

I still have this OG cartridge as well! So many memories with my older brother and sister that I’ll never forget. I’m turning 22 this Sunday, yet playing this game as a kid felt just like yesterday. It’s priceless how this game is truly an eternal time capsule for us all

[@10kMR]

It would be cool if he did another 100% playthrough of this cardrige

[@iluvphillip13]

I'd watch that!

[@JoeyD82288]

This game holds a special place in my heart as well

[@SullyPwnz]

Bro I was into Zelda games whatchu talking about 🤨

[@Welchesfruit56]

😂😂😂

[@jamesrivas4572]

You know I really loved seeing people when their childhood games bring it back like very old and very many years before but at least you have the childhood memories about it and at least you're happy again and remember

[@FiercedeityBrad]

That OG fire temple theme terrified me as a 17 year old 😆. I remember getting oot for Christmas 1998, I was not a fan and didn't even know about zelda but my dad decided to get me an n64 and the game as a surprise, I'm a huge zelda fan now.

[@Mtndew_bajablast]

Just hearing it rn terrifies me 😭

[@oinkerdapig6293]

One of the greatest games of all time, OF ALL TIME

[@Scarecrow2004]

A Link to the Past was my first Zelda but Ocarina of Time was the first Zelda I beat and then circled and beat the others. I still have my copy that I bought when I was 14 back in 1998.

[@marieeerie8238]

Ocarina of Time is so special to you and it’s your gameplay of this game that had me discover you and your KZbin channel. Ocarina of Time was my very first LOZ game and you helped me through the game. I’ve been a fan of your videos every since :) Thanks for still being here, giving us great vids to watch

[@jjonno]

That's a crazy cool setup man

[@justaman3817]

Dude has it really been that long, I’ve got both early release cartridges with the blood/haunting music in their boxes. Such a timeless game.

[@ssdeity]

Definitely would absolutely love a full playthru series with this cartridge!

[@Santiago4Twenty]

Oot and mm were my first Zelda games this one holds my heart up every time I see gameplay of it.

[@sora_xiao]

Ocarina of Time was also my first Zelda game and what got me into the series. It is such a magical game, watching this brought back so many memories.

[@joshuajohnson1796]

My favorite Zelda game of all time! With twilight princess behind it and link to the past and wind waker etc

[@randyholcomb2140]

Magical doesn't even begin to cover it when it comes to the effect this game has on my spirit

[@necropimpthephantom3726]

i still have nightmares about the redeads and im 32 years of age

[@corsadonk]

I was late to Zelda, I played a link between worlds first and fell in love with the series after playing ocarina of time. I'm in my 40's now. 😂

[@penguinclub2008]

This was one of my favorite classic Zelda games

[@annamae4761]

A nostalgia walkthrough would be fun to watch. My sons have enjoyed your walkthroughs. Sharing what I grew up with with them has been a blast as a parent 💛

[@tTauceti]

This is so dope! I wish I had my OG WindWaker disc for GameCube as that was my first LoZ game!

[@CatnipConsumer]

Fun fact: if you wait on the title screen of OoT and go through 2 cycles, you will get different clips than just the one of the spirit temple. For example, you can see Link and Sheik in Death Mountain Crater presumably after learning the bolero of fire. Link is actually wearing his green tunic in that too.

[@linkypoo600]

I will always keep that game so close to me and since every year it goes on by ill never let that game go may this always keep a wonderful experience and keep Saving hyrule for ever and ever!

[@raychuang9922]

Your video very passionate and wonderful I cannot wait to continue watching your next tears of the kingdom video

[@joshuajohnson1796]

Would love to see you playthrough this again! I’m playing through ocarina again today to celebrate!!

[@theforgetfulalchemist]

My OG North American cartridge unfortunately but the dust, but a friend and I got a Japanese copy years ago that we physically modded to play on a NA N64 and it still works

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

25 years ago? Old 👴... Oracle of Ages got me into the Zelda series and I didn't play Ocarina of Time until the Game Cube version got released. I didn't have an N64. I had a Playstation. I mostly played the Spyro trilogy on that one. I don't know if it's a good idea to blow on the cartridge but it sometimes works. This game is lower quality then I thought. I am so used to playing the PC version. There is an N64 filter on the PC port but I don't use it. I did try it out to see what it looked like before switching back. You don't necessarily need an adapter to play N64 game from different regions. You can mod your N64 to be region free, you can carve out parts of the cartridge which is a bit risky, or just replace the back of the cartridge with one from a different region. I think the 64DD does work on an American console but you may need to use those region methods to use the games that are compatible with it. Why do you own the Japanese version? I don't think it's that different from the original. I sometimes give Link a funny name like "ARRRRRRGH!". Recently I named Link "uh...you". I also use the red tunic. It's very useful since it's fire proof and you can walk on spikes for a few seconds without taking damage. I prefer to keep the shield. This game didn't scare me too much. I was in my teens when I first played it. I never had issues calling Epona. You have the uncensored version. Lucky. Do the Skull Kids have black skin and does Ganon vomit red blood as well? I remember seeing Ganon vomit red blood and wondered why it didn't happen in the version I played. 13:24 You know the language?

[@TheAutisticGeek206]

I still have that cartridge, and never will want to sell it. That is what I vowed for!

[@rebd00mer93]

I still have my OoT and Majoras mask n64 games AND boxes. Both are the gold special editions. I was lucky to get the gold OoT one back in the 90s. Ganondorf has red blood in that game instead of the green in other editions.

[@Tobias1992]

This game is my childhood and i still have my cartridge of the Game.

[@michaelcain7183]

Used to play this for countless hours as a child and still when I get a chance love this game

[@DrakeAsleep]

I remember playing this game as a kid and i fell in love. It was super difficult that i never passed it back then there was no KZbin nothing! You were on your own but if you owned Nintendo Power magazines they helped you a little! Thank you Shigeru Miyamoto for inventing zelda and thank you for my beautiful childhood!❤️ Now i own almost all zelda games and can't wait for what comes after Tears of the Kingdom!❤

[@GillianMStarlight]

I still have the cartridge, I remember preordering it, picking it up at a KB toy store and getting a t-shirt with it, maybe that was part of the preorder deal.

[@rehansubramanyam9148]

I would watch an LP of this game on the og cartridge!!

[@Roseforever84]

Oh man, I remember sharing games with my brother! We had one Nintendo DS between us when I was 11 and he was 9 back in 2005, and we used to play Animal Crossing and Nintendogs. It was hard enough waiting for my turn with one sibling, I can’t imagine four!

[@emsthegoddess]

This game was my first game I ever played and is the reason I love TLOZ and gaming period. Happy birthday to Ocarina of time 🥹

[@JamesCarpeDiem]

This was a great video ZM

[@williamthompson9496]

Nothing Beats A Classic, Happy 25th To The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@QueenSharotto]

6:06 I though Luke mentioned in his first Wind Waker HD playthrough (around the time of WWHD’s launch) that he discarded the cartridge in a garbage bag.

[@johnhoran9840]

Mine is the gold version, and I still have it. Wonderful memories.

[@littleguystar]

Honestly the video capture for the authentic N64 being low quality is part of the experience. Emulating OOT in high res loses some of the important little bits of extra when your shadows are stupid dark and it’s hard to see the distance and the textures don’t look so blurry

[@Handbuilt1]

Yes , Ocarina of time was a magical game , probably one of the best game I played , I also have followed you in all the latest walkthrough of each Zelda game , but I never finished the latest '' tears of the kingdom'' because I think that this particular game after while got too repetitive . I would like to know what was your thoughts about the latest game over all . Thank you .

[@taykey17]

I still have it too. We moved around alot with a divorced mom and lost almost everything else.

[@sav827]

Yep, I too still have my N64 and Ocarina of time game as well. Love this game and all the old games.👍😁

[@iluvphillip13]

Five boys?! Wow, what a party that must have been every day! :) I helped raise 5 girls (my stepdaughters) along with my 2 sons, and it was wild. The boys were more interested in playing video games and most of the girls were into fashion and fixing cars. Go figure. So exciting that you still have your original cartridge and an actual Nintendo 64!! I don't remember what happened to any of our old consoles or games. They either got sold or lost when we moved, or some may be stored in boxes somewhere. How cool! :)

[@denisejoanne]

Did the gold cardridge come out later then? That’s the one I had, with the updated version of the Fire Temple soundtrack.

[@gabetheOG]

Love you ZM you probably wont see this but you’ve genuinely changed my life and intrest thank you ❤

[@emillioheredia6253]

On top. The producer who made the Zelda studio gible needs to happen. Miyazaki would approve. I know he would 😢😢

[@RetroGoosen-ux8ty]

My cousins mom’s boyfriend bought him an ocarina of time N64 cartridge to impress him but he owned a PlayStation. So he gave it to me and that’s how I became a Zelda fan. Completely by accident.

[@masteraustin11]

Loved oot as a zelda game. One of my favorites in the series and the game series I am rewatching for like, the billionth time on your channel. Love your content ZM, always will, do you think Nintendo will make another remake for the game for the next Nintendo console?

[@masteraustin11]

Also btw, forgot to mention, would love to see you do a replay through of the original game! Would be an amazing experience, especially since I know very little of what the original version had versus the ones we have now.

[@theamazonbois7970]

Yes I would like to see a series like this

[@GamingQueenDaisy]

Definitely bring back memories when I first play this after watching my auntie rest her soul at first I was scared because of the redead and how they sound but it doesn't matter me when the time past

[@pali_nadeen]

My favorite game of all time ❤

[@heejinscloud]

not Zelda related but I had such a nostalgic moment when I was going through boxes in my garage and a Gameboy color fell out of one of the boxes to only realize that it was my childhood Gameboy color and when I put batteries in it, it didn't turn on but after cleaning the battery terminals with isopropyl alcohol and then it was fine but unfortunately i do not have the pokemon blue cart I played on when I was younger

[@Kass_Everdale]

I still have my Nintendo 64 to this today and this is my First Zelda Game as Well

[@exitstage1eft]

I still got my original gold cartridge from my day 1 purchase. I have the best memories from playing that game. TOTK is great but nothing like OOT.

[@GOLDICU]

i still have my same cartridge and its been my first game ever too. Once my dads and now mine.

[@WinspearUltima]

Man this game is just so good, by the way I’m surprised you still have those saves there it’s such a classic Zelda game

[@Anthony-mq5uc]

Memories 😔 😭😭

[@emillioheredia6253]

Hollywood should really reach out to you for a part in the live action. They usually bring people of high knowledge to bring scenes together

[@DanHallow]

I remember when my super nintendo had a saving problem where if we took the cartridge out of the snes it would reset our files, so I would always get ip to the master sword before it was my brother’s turn and then cry about how my file would be deleted at least i’m good at mastersword speedruns

[@DanHallow]

my first OOT Cartridge was golden

[@XStonedVikingX]

would LOVE a playthrough on this gem of a cart on the OG N64

[@kassiemontalvo6277]

Loved everything about this

[@niallfoust8558]

It would be awesome to watch you do a play through of the original! I have my original copy too and it’s the same one with the original fire temple music

[@rag0t2010]

And it is still hard to believe this game was going to be bigger (proof given by content from URA-Zelda and knowing Mido and the other Kokiri girl were going to be Sages acknowledging this game as a prequel from Zelda II adventure of Link

[@Welchesfruit56]

A live stream play through would be cool

[@sireorcry]

Such a cozy game, despite the terrifying redeads!❤ I still have my gold cartridge, with the label half peeled off!

[@BankerBoy1205]

I would be up for the play through. I still have my original with the original shield and chants as well. Still play it on my original 64.

[@dominguezvive]

Hi!!! I have it too, And the N64 I love this game is my Fav...

[@brianbowers2827]

I had a friend tell me that this game was so nostalgic even though he's only played it once

[@steveweimar1624]

I love this i got the gold looking one for Christmas that year :) i purchased a special adapter for my tv :) so i could play it

[@IcyJenna0924]

I've played the 3ds ocarina of time like a year ago and it took me 20 days to finish the normal series, my favorite is ocarina of time, wind waker and twilight princess

[@calvink6]

Definitely would love to see an old school playthrough of OOT Luke please play it again

[@ShadowWizard224]

My top 10 greatest of all time: 🛡️⚔️ #10 A Link To The Past #9 Link’s Awakening #8 Twilight Princess #7 Minish Cap #6 A Link Between Worlds #5 Tears of the Kingdom #4 Breath of the Wild #3 Majora’s Mask #2 Wind Waker #1 Ocarina of Time The Hero of Time has stood the Test of Time 🙏

[@tommoore2012]

Darn. I was hoping that he would see what Navi had to say on his file.

[@emillioheredia6253]

Orphan?....? Damn never knew 😢

[@maddoxreynolds569]

Wow started watching you when you made the ocarina of time 3ds remake videos

[@elsiebartlett6808]

Personally I love my original hardware copy more than the emulation or 3ds remake…mainly since my copy has the original fire temple music, and the red blood-can’t get it anywhere else 🙂 I will be very sad the day the battery in the cart dies. To me sounds like epona was stuck on something nearby but yeah that is crazy. I’ve never even seen that glitch in my cart!

[@Phases_RebornYT]

Got any bloopers? I feel like they would be funny ngl 😂

[@josephroy1194]

Zeldamaster: The origins

[@ihasethan]

Twilight princess was my first Zelda game

[@FallingAlien_]

I have the og zelda i didnt know they change the song to it and the sheld it is cool

[@gabrielfox9854]

Definitely should play through it

[@alysupersmashshow]

When I had the og cartridge, i was at the temple and my mom heard the bismallah and allahu akbar chants, and thought i was playing at satanic game bc of the chants and told me to turn it off. That was the last time I saw that cartridge until recently 😅

[@FallingAlien_]

When i hade that glith i would telaport somewhere and call her agian

[@TheHeatherjane]

I would love for you to play this again!!!!!!

[@hidinginmycaropeningpokemo9006]

It’s cool that you know the actual words being chanted, I’d be interested in knowing what the words mean too if you do a full play through

[@EMSBallistics]

Do itttttt, 100% playthrough!

[@Queen_Audrey1803]

duuuuuude you gotta playthrough the O.G that would be so cool

[@JoshDensle]

Half-Life's 25th was pretty recent, too.

[@josemelendez537]

With if the Great War in Oot was an adaptation of the war between the Byzantine Empire and the Ottoman Empire?

[@916nicoya]

You should do a lets play that would be amazing

[@james441]

Would be great if you could do a playthrough of this on original hardware

[@586bomin]

I'm down for a replay on the og !😊

[@shado2us]

My nestalia is of Final fantasy and Dragon Warrior of the NES!!!! Then later the rest of the NES games that set the precedence of video games!!!

[@joshuasmith8865]

Oh yeah!
