My FIRST TIME playing 💚- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time BLIND PLAYTHROUGH (1)

[@lilindigestion]

HI FRIENDS, I hope you enjoy the first installment of Ocarina of Time!! It was so cool to see how much excitement there was on the comments of the update video yesterday. I think this is gonna be pretty special :) episode 2 will drop on Monday at 11am!

[@lavenderirisi]

Thanks for the early christmas present! I hope you thouroughly enjoy this game and avoid all spoilers❤

[@kinosnake]

Now that you've played all the super famous Zelda games, I'm really curious where you'll go next. (I hope it's Link's Crossbow Training)

[@lavenderirisi]

@@kinosnake I feel like MM kinda counts in the top famous ones. I do hope he does MM next for lore reasons!

Find my comments ! ( Easter eggs)

[@ourdroneonnativeland8958]

Weird , I never added 8958.....as if someone already took my username, or 8957 people. 😅

[@Churahm]

Just to give you an idea of how groundbreaking that game was. The whole "lock on" system, or z-targeting in this game, this game didn't just use what was popular at the time. This is the FIRST game that ever had a lock-on sword fight style. Some older games had lock on for stuff like projectiles and such, but this combat method which is used even now in modern gaming, for example in fromsoft games, was absolutely new at the time.. This is one of many things that this game brought to the gaming industry, its influence even today is completely insane. Also, why am I not surprised that there was a deku seed/deku nut joke in there.

[@KIFulgore]

Yep, OoT pioneered the lockon system used by 100s of games since!

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

I always find it hard to understand what about old games made them so revolutionary because im coming from a perspective where the things they did have become the norm that I grew up with. So thank you for giving this information

[@chaerry_cy]

FINALLY A PLAYTHROUGH I CAN WATCH AS IT’S BEING UPLOADED LETS GOOOOOO

[@lilindigestion]

LETS GOOOOO

[@Peter_1986]

I like that Ryan actually takes the time to thoroughly explore things in the games that he plays, and ask himself questions about various things - some blind-players are too much in a rush for my liking, and make a few half-hearted attempts with a few things and then instantly forget about them, but Ryan is determined to try to figure things out.

[@lavenderirisi]

NO SPOILERS!!!!

Hinting at something? That's a paddlin'. Suggesting or guessing how to do something? That's a paddlin'. Answering a question that's not a "front seat question"? Oh... you better believe that's a paddlin'.

[@Jirodyne]

@@sophiamarchildon3998 Don't forgot "Complaining he doesn't know 'x' Mechanic" or "He used to know 'x' but forgot so let's remind him" are also both a paddlin'

[@DeadDancers]

I love the attitude in Link standing with his hip cocked, hand on hip, talking to Mido. Such an old game, telling stories through the absolute basics they had to work with.

[@jascur2]

9:43 I think nostalgia is more than just "hey remember that thing from when you were a kid?" I have a lot of nostalgia for Outer Wilds, which is only 5 years old. Some games are just great at creating that magical, warm and fuzzy feeling

[@ElliotKeaton]

Nostalgia is the single most abused word among gamers. Nostalgia is a bittersweet feeling caused by longing for something from your past that's no longer in your life. Your childhood, your family home, an old friend who you parted ways with... Gamers use it to discredit everything over 8 years old without allowing it to be put up for discussion "because obviously the current generation of games is superior in every way". Someone could say their favourite Fallout game is Fallout: New Vegas for a variety of reasons and that gets countered by someone screaming "Nostalgia!" at the top of their lungs.

[@Vekuyo]

The english language lacks the words to express my excitement. Any day Ryan and Zelda appear on my feed together is a good day.

[@NaliaDanger]

This is basically a blind watch for me - I didn't get very far when I played this one back in the day. Looking forward to experiencing this game with you!

[@bloomwiththestars]

Same here. Little kid me got stuck pretty early on so I'm excited to see it along with him and y'all.

[@Peter_1986]

First time I played this game was on the morning of Christmas Eve in 1999, which is the day when we in Sweden actually celebrate Christmas. My little brother and I had got it as an early Christmas present in the morning, and it was super-cool to play it in the early Christmas morning like that, while it was still dark outside.

[@GellertGreer]

@@Peter_1986 Such a beautiful experience. Also first played this on Christmas, walking into the room hearing the title music play as Link rides across Hyrule is burned forever in memory.

[@KIFulgore]

I'm so stoked for this series! Do you truly know nothing about the story or game? If not, you're in for a treat. I dearly hope there are NO SPOILERS for you 😃. I'd love to see this game played like it's 1998 all over again. I was 19 when the game released. I got the gold collector's edition and played it my sophomore year of college, mostly over Christmas break. I was a bit older, but still consider this my last "childhood" Zelda game. Sorta... I was 13 when LttP released and this game made me feel like a kid again for a couple weeks. We had to wait 6 years for the 4th major home console version of Zelda. In the 2000s it felt like new Zelda was hitting constantly, but OoT was incredibly highly anticipated.

[@Panda_Steph]

the sole reason why so many people my age know what an ocarina is

[@ElliotKeaton]

Music stores were surprised when the demand for ocarinas picked up seemingly out of nowhere. And they couldn't be those cheap plastic ones either, they had to be ceramic and for some inexplicable reason they had to be blue.

[@rjenyawd]

@@Panda_Steph I told my elementary school band teacher that I wanted to play the ocarina on the first day of class. ... She looked at me like I was crazy and gave me a trumpet instead.

[@gambitgurlisis]

Wonderful! I love this game. It is worth noting (and this is absolutely not a spoiler of any kind, no worries Ryan) that this game was meant to be viewed on an old CRT television so the contrast between backgrounds and 3d, and the edges of the 3d models were often just slightly blurrier. It holds up pretty well on HD, but just, forgive this old game it's artifacting.

[@TheTghs1000]

To answer your question, yes this was the first 3D Zelda game!

[@neatoinmyspeedooo]

I have been waiting for this! Also, it wouldn't be a proper lil indigestion playthrough if Ryan didn't hyperfixate on exploring the wrong place looking for an item while ignoring the correct location right in front of his face :)

[@David-bf2cg]

It is a bit weird for the sword to be given after the sword turtorial are though.

[@Rynn22]

I think you are the only person that spent an hour in that section and I love it

[@accomplisheddust4242]

My sister and I used to spend hours playing this game as kids. I've been wanting to play again now that she has passed away but couldn't bring myself to play alone. So thank you for playing. I'll be watching every episode with my cat, Navi.😊

[@smalm86]

Thw confusion over getting lost in the Lost Woods is fantastic 😂

[@Peter_1986]

If his first reactions to this game were this positive, then there is a very great possibility that he will enjoy the rest of the game as well.

[@snailyluke]

I’M SO EXCITED!! This was indeed the first 3d Zelda and was also foundational for 3d action games in general!

[@Chisel1337]

Holy fuckin shit. It’s time. This was the first video game I ever played. I was born in 2001 and I couldn’t have been more than 6 years old. I have the most comforting childhood memories of firing up my n64 and just running around the forest, thinking of all the endless possibilities. You’re right in your assumption, this was not only the first 3D Zelda game but one of the first 3D games in general (if I’m remembering it right) This was the game that truly sparked my love for video games. To see you playing the n64 version makes it even more surreal. Ryan. Without sounding too weird, you’re one of my favorite content creators dude. Ever since I was scrolling through Subnautica videos and decided to give your playthrough a try, I’ve respected and admired the way you analyze and process as much lore as you can with every game you play. I can’t even describe how excited I am for you to dive into this game. Thank you so much for just being you and for loving games. You’re a really cool guy and I’ll be looking forward to every video of this game you post until you inevitably finish. It couldn’t be more perfect that this will be the first game I genuinely follow along with you as you post and not just binge a serious you’ve already mostly/totally completed. You’re seriously in for a phenomenal experience man. Again, THANK YOU and KEEP BEING YOU!!!!

[@missbelled6700]

I remember my neighbor coming home with this sick golden cartridge saying we needed to play this game, I was immediately hooked. I was also 6 at the time. Just a beautiful experience as a kid (and an adult too, but my goodness this was such a perfect adventure game for kids).

[@Slick-n-ick]

Instant subscribe!! Great reaction. Love to see reactors really get into how ahead of it’s time this game is. Too many start playing it and then just make fun of it their whole playthrough which really turns people off who come to watch these for the nostalgia and love of the game

I'm so excited for this playthrough! This was the first ever video game I played when I was 7 or 8. My sister and I would rent it from the video store for 7 days at a time for YEARS trying to speedrun to get further and further (since the save files were on the cartridges themselves, we always started from the beginning). To this day, I can do the first third or half so fast but get so lost later. My nostalgia goes brrrrrr for this game. SO happy to see you enjoying it so far, I can't wait for more!

[@MyGoodFriendJon]

I really love how well this Kokiri Forest area does to train a new player. There's a surprising amount of stuff to be learned in such a small area, and seeing Ryan pick up the basics that quickly and simply is a testiment to this starting area.

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

I only started to play the game for the first time a few days ago, and my initial reaction is the opposite: almost none of the teaching is organic, it's a series of infodumps. 😕

Welcome to one of the games that brought 3D to the world! Hearkening back to the days when mood and mystery defined an adventure game. Though rough around its low-poly edges, OOT will always be a classic.

Very excited to be able to follow your journey in a new Zelda game. Currently rewatching your botw playthrough which meant alot to me during tough times. Thank you for being a such a kind and positive soul out here. Alll the best from Sweden

[@coldcoma]

Yes this is infact the first 3D Zelda game. And it is also the first 3D game to *ever* feature an npc / enemy targeting system. Nintendo invented that for this game.

[@haddocksmack]

I'm so stoked for this playthrough! OOT is probably my second favorite game. My brother and I rented the game a few times and had to experience what I see others in the comments did, having to restart the game multiple times since our save was locked on the cartridge we rented. When Majora's Mask came out, we faced the same problem that we couldn't find it in stores, so we had to rent it to play it. This time was different because we decided to continually renew the rental until we were able to buy the game, then we switched the new cartridge with the rental cartridge so we could keep our save files! I'm pretty sure the person who rented the game before us did the same thing because the cart was missing the barcode sticker that was on all the other games we rented.

Most hated controller, but the games that were designed around it worked so well you almost forget that you don't have 3 hands lmao

[@ivanheffner2587]

@@SacredLiquidI love this controller, especially considering when it came out. It was a great blend of the controls that came before it (SNES D-pad, shoulder buttons, 4-button cluster) with added capabilities (analog stick, trigger button, two more buttons in the 4-button cluster). It crawled so others could run.

[@missbelled6700]

@@SacredLiquid It can be SOOO awkward playing OoT/MM on non-N64 layouts too, that particular A/B/C layout was so crucial to the game's ergonomic design.

[@ElliotKeaton]

Anyone who's actually played a N64 game understands how the controller works. It was made when most console games were switching from the D-Pad to the analog stick but some games were still being made for the D-Pad instead. The left prong had a D-Pad and shoulder trigger while the middle prong had an analog stick and underneath trigger. You used one. There isn't a single game that used both. It's a well designed controller that gets shit on by people who don't understand context.

It's so interesting seeing Ryan at the start of a new game, learning its language as he plays. Ocarina of Time is a particularly unique one for that, since it was such an early 3D game that the norms for teaching how to move through a space and what you can do weren't established yet. Really enjoyed watching this!

Great start, Ryan! Can't wait to continue this journey with you. I never owned this game growing up, but had some cousins that did and was immediately charmed (though also hopelessly lost) by it. I also only really played an hour or two then. My first Zelda game I owned and played through myself was Twilight Princess on the Gamecube and it became one of my favorite all-time games. I tried to get back to finish Ocarina of Time at several points, but always dropped off after getting lost or frustrated by the controls. I finally finished it just this past year, and despite the janky controls and a few frustrating moments, it really is something special; especially if you can transport yourself back to when you're a kid playing video games for the first time.

I actually first played Ocarina of Time when the remake came to 3DS. Like Ryan, I was in my 30s when that happened. I throughly enjoy this game despite it showing its age with the camera controls and the flat looking backgrounds.

[@cogspace]

This is such a treat! No spoilers, but OoT is easily in my top 5 games of all time. I first played it as a kid the year it came out and it is by far the console game I have played the most over time, sinking thousands of hours into replays and randomizers and some light speedrunning. It is absolutely a landmark game both for the Zelda franchise and for gaming as a whole. It's got everything from a great story and timeless music to fun boss fights, great dungeons, innovative mechanics, and even a bunch of interesting glitches that are fun to learn to mess with.

[@fueamin]
