Seeing a lot of folks saying we called Malon "Marin" (the similar character from Link's Awakening), but this isn't the case. We were quoting the developers when refering to Malon, and the character's Japanese name is Maron. You can see this if you watch the video with captions enabled. We should probably have put a note on screen though. As for calling Lon Lon Ranch "Romani Ranch" in the intro, that was just a dumb mistake and it's a shame we let it slip by.

[@leifallen8077]

Lol I actually didn't notice these until i read the comment

[@rapidriver]

Why not call Waluigi "Waruiji" then? XD IDK, I think you should've just gone for Malon for simplicity's sake.

[@Jesse__H]

I KNOW it's called lon lon ranch, I've known since I was 10 years old! But when you said romani ranch I just kind of accepted it lol 🤷.

[@gogongagis3395]

I am Japanese and this doesn’t make sense… In Japanese, Maron and Malon are the same. There is no need to make a complicated explanation for a simple mistake! Anyway, I really enjoyed the video! I learned many new things. Thank you!

[@EhurtAfy]

You guys have a stellar reputation for original content and accuracy! I did notice and immediately checked the comments. I've played Ocarina of Time for hundreds of hours and still doubted myself over that lol. Perfection is not expected, love the video, love the channel!

[@s-wo8781]

Miyamoto's response to his staff telling him that the ranch guys were just Mario and Luigi was hilarious.

[@ssppeeaarr]

lol. epic shiggy.

[@SorcererLance]

"Well whatever, just roll with it" feels like a very Miyamoto thing he'd say when he gets called out on something like this... and yet, I'd also expect him to call out others whenever he catches them recycling Mario/Luigi on other things like a hypocrite :P

[@mookieyomu7285]

People nowadays don't understand how massive this game was at the time. It's like developing the equivalent of TotK without having BotW as a reference. And a very limited experience regarding 3D videogames because it was relatively new at the time. And a lot of the game's mechanics are an integral part of gaming today. Z targeting, still background to create a 2.5 D space, dynamic combat with sidehop and backflip, contextual camera angles to indicate progression with a unique sound cue associated... Videogames have been revolutionized with OoT

[@NateIsCorrupt]

Amazing game

[@Infindox]

​@@ssppeeaarrapparently there's a rom hack that is trying to do that, saw a trailer for it in the "F3" video for this year. OoT hacks tend to not happen sometimes, but they have decomped OoT so possible!

Kaepora Gaebora originally having a split personality makes so much sense, given how he spins his head around during his idle animation to reveal a second face.

[@SorcererLance]

Admittedly the second face wasn't very obvious to me as a kid, until I saw its depiction in the official manga... in which a light lit up in my head realizing what he was trying to do in-game.

[@JamesDavy2009]

@@SorcererLance It's practically a trope at this point. Those of you who played _Okami_ will know of a character known as Onigiri-sensei that did the head spin into a different personality. Even Rare (then known as Rareware) pulled this trope in _Conker's Bad Fur Day_ with the angry deaf cog with a cigar in his mouth spinning into a nicer but foppy persona smoking a cigarette in a holder. Their names are Carl (the former) and Quentin (the latter)

[@SorcererLance]

@@JamesDavy2009 yep, just the low-res textures and low-poly model of the owl wasn't exactly obvious at first glance in a blind playthrough as a kid, the other examples you gave were much more obvious due to better character models showcasing that trope more clearly

Pokemon Snap having the original VA for Oak is probably a huge reason why its so nostalgic for a lot of people. It felt like an extension, or an episode of the show!

I love this type of content. Feels so nostalgic, but not nostalgic like "I'm playing the same game I have played 1000 times since I was a kid". It's a different type of nostalgia, like we are actually learning and living the news about games from 20 years ago, reading magazines and feeling like the N64 is the most modern and cool thing in the world. I love that feeling

[@benamisai-kham5892]

I really miss the wonder and excitement over the N64 and it's catalogue of games. I would scour so many old magazines for any info I could, being born in 97, when the GameCube was more new in my memorable part of my childhood (I was poor so I didn't get a GameCube til like 04) It was such a great time, this video does indeed invite that feeling.

dev team filming themself for reference for pokemon is basically every dev team. it's the most normal thing, but i'm guessing at the time it wasn't seen as common

[@Moniak]

It wasn't common at the time, and the fact is? sometimes it's dedicated actors doing the mocap. just thought you should know.

[@andrewgebert5718]

Nah this has been common practice for over a century at this point. For example you can view parts of the original live action animation reference used on the 1938 version of Snow White. I guess you could argue it was somewhat new for the games industry but even then you had games like Prince of Persia in 1989 and Mortal Combat in 1992 showcasing live action/rotoscoped animation reference well before Pokemon Snap released

[@mrshmuga9]

What likely made it different (for them as developers) is acting like animals rather than watching a nature documentary or something. People are going to be a lot more awkward/embarrassed acting like an animal (and made up one at that) than a person.

[@Absquatula]

I always knew Camelot was a quality studio, but man they really put their hearts into their work and it has always showed

[@LycanLink]

"But when you look at Mario characters, they're all hard to hate... That's why when the Gamecube came out, we stretched out Daisy's face to have the dimensions of E.T.'s face, and we gave her a smoker's rasp."

Even though the day counter from Ocarina of Time was never implemented into the final game, the Japanese version of Majora's Mask does have a counter in the file selection screen that tells how many times the player has played the Song of Time to rewind the clock to the Dawn of the First Day.

[@Chromeless12]

the game actually did implement the day counter though, the number of days passed is stored in your save file, it's just never displayed anywhere in the game.

[@heyhackurs]

​@@JamesDavy2009It wasn't just the cornerstone of Zelda, it was the cornerstone of all adventure games made in the future and even some jrpgs too (particularly action jrpgs). It changed everything and people don't give it enough credit (which is saying something considering it's one of the most acclaimed games of all time). I don't think something like Elder Scrolls in its modern day format or Dark Souls could exist without the heavy lifting Ocarina set in place.

Feels extra special.

it's really interesting to think about the developers being tasked with speedrunning. ocarina of time was a game that i played over and over trying to beat it faster, it just felt natural. then discovering all of the interesting glitches provided a way to super speedrun lol. ocarina of time is so good

DYKG is easily one of the very best channels on KZbin, and some of the best online gaming content regardless of platform. I will always feel they are under appreciated, even if they were the #1 most interacted channel on the web. The pure joy they are able to invoke in me, while providing me with knowledge on one of my favorite industries and at the same time preserving its history and legacy.
