[@dasherpie]

When he sneeze it’s super adorable ❤️

[@BubbleArcadia]

Link is a man child. I love how they kept them the same animations even as an adult link cause he really is still just a child even though he slept in time for 7 years. Nothing has changed. He must be protected at all costs.

[@ocarinaofwastingmytime607]

I never realized this until now, but sometimes when I'm just standing there or just bored, I tap my feet behind me twice, just like Link does! And just like everyone else, my favorite idle animations were the yawning and sneezing ones. So cute!

[@nintendokings]

I do the same!

[@jesusvera7941]

twilight Link does that too. I do it but against walls, steps and alike, not into the floor. The best way to quickly get rid of dust under boots that i know.

[@janicerogalewski8500]

Child links sneeze makes him look sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute.

[@SuperfluousMoniker]

Blowing my mind with these hot and cold area idle animations I had no idea existed!

[@Imgema]

OOT is filled with little touches here and there. Little things that are there but are also easy to miss. But these things make the game world more alive and mysterious. The idle animations is an example of how many little touches this game has. Unfortunately, more recent Zeldas lack this kind of detail and, of course, they only have like 1 or 2 standard idle animations. I guess nowdays they only have time for the 100% needed, obvious stuff...

[@Old_account_skreebs]

Link sneezes like a kitten omg

[@kamilee4123]

The cold ones... My baby...

[@jasonball3496]

Fascinating. I too had never noticed several of these, like the sneezing. I really love the sword swings. It would be really neat if it did damage. Like, some stalchild is stalking towards you as you're standing still, then BAM he gets killed by an idle animation.

[@kamilee4123]

I was (trying to, I failed) replay the Ganondorf fight a month or two ago and Link did that idle animation while I was waiting. It three off my timing and I couldn't hit the energy ball.

Adult Link sneezing is my favorite one. You should do a ten hour version of that!

[@edgiest-edgelord-that-edges]

The sneezing is so adorable XD

[@newheroofhyrule935]

Are you basically saying that you like your own sneeze?

[@edgiest-edgelord-that-edges]

New Hero of Hyrule UH, NO! Yes ;^;

[@newheroofhyrule935]

It sure sounds like it, Link. You are the young version of him, after all.

[@newheroofhyrule935]

New Hero of Hyrule Also I've just noticed that when Adult Link yawns he also makes a little squeak.

[@luanegra9320]

Ya :D

[@TheRealMink78]

I’m late but I agree

[@Myriadis]

It does, but it's actually the sneezing animation. I guess that happens because the windmill area is linked (heh) to the Gravediggers Grave, which is an underground type.

[@wing00hero]

You dumbass lol...

[@Bismuth9]

Link sneezing! I had never seen this!

[@nekokuriboh1683]

the sneezes tho!

[@yagirlsilverr]

Cutest sneeze ever!

[@jco2135]

I swear the animation for this game was fucking amazing. In fact, it's till impressive. I'm guessing these are the areas where mo-cap was used? Be cool if they utilised that in newer Zelda titles as well.

[@Madame_V_Locklear]

[@cheesebatto]

I never noticed his face when he's waving his shield lmao

[@bottlerocketcentral]

he's such a cutie patootie

[@Axelotl38]

I can't remember if this is one, but if your in the windmill hut, on the windmill while your spinning, then Link will clutch his stomach, feeling sick. But I'm not sure if that actually exists.

[@SuperMikeFender]

Nah he just sneezes

[@AHHHHHHHHHHHHl]

He shivers and sneezes because the windmill is connected to Dampé's tomb

[@kostaspolyzos6540]

He only sneezes

[@Myriadis]

Accoring to what I found, the amount of motion capture was rather small compared to the traditional, hand-made animation. If that's right, it is even more impressive, because it still looks good.

[@LaniHerrera]

2:17 kawaiii~~ (/ * u * )/

[@powergannon]

After all these years I don't think I'd ever seen any of the environment specific idles. Just goes to show that even your favorite games can surprise you decades later.

[@dasherpie]

Why is young link so adorable ❤️

[@sheltonposey6458]

You're missing a few idle animations. One in particular is an idle animation where he yawns, stretches differently than in the shown yawn and he even has what looks like a smile on his face.

[@LITTLE1994]

What are you talking about? That doesn't happen in the N64 game. Maybe you meant in the 3DS remake.

[@Binkus_.]

@@LITTLE1994 yep

[@manimanistatue]

@@LITTLE1994 Yes it does, I’m playing it right now

[@LITTLE1994]

That was uncommon and a big deal in 1998. I always laugh when Link checks his sword or shield (if he don't have one, he uses his arm!). His realistic reactions to the heat and cold or when he yawns are classics. Edit: I forgot to mention, if Link wields the Deku Stick, Megaton Hammer or Biggoron's Sword, in most of the animations, he will hold them in ONE hand.

[@mrandrossguy9871]

Yeah I wonder if they really used Real time body movements as they are so Smooth and natural !

[@LITTLE1994]

@@mrandrossguy9871 Yes, they actually used motion capture to do all of Link's animations, believe it or not.

[@hawks-wings]

there’s a lot of stuff in this game that i could imagine was uncommon and a big deal in its time! the grass in the fishing pond actually bent when you walked over it or beside it and the lily pads moved out of your way (and remained like that for a little bit…) i’m sure there’s more, but i was a tad bit busy not existing in 1998 so I couldn’t really say…

[@KingdaToro]

There were two-hand weapon idle animations that were cut, Ship of Harkinian restores them.

[@Roboglenn387]

Now I learned first hand of these idle animations when I put Link on the windmill wheel after playing the Song of Storms. And I just assumed those "cold + sneeze" animations were him getting sick to his stomach and upchucking.

[@princesszelda5374]

How cute X3

[@gukeoke6312]

Adult Link yawning is HILARIOUS

[@turbochop3300]

I'm one of those who loves to sit and watch the idle animations of any game. I've studied all the idle animations in OOT, and thing always bugged me: What the hell is wrong with links eyes when he fidgets with his shield?

[@Myriadis]

The first place you see is a room that is left out of the orginal game. It was shown in some beta video, I think. You can access it via the level select in the debug rom of OoT. I also managed to get Child Link into that place via the level select. It's cool that the developers even thought of that, as there is one Gerudo standing saying that you have to go back.

[@TVthePunisher]

I always wondered why he does that "cheep!" noise during his yawn at 2:56.

[@mrandrossguy9871]

Does it as Adult too

[@deletedaccount3187]

i never noticed his facial expressions in the n64 version, or 3ds version! most of the time i am too busy looking around the room(s). also, fyi, i play the 3ds version

Young Link's sweating animation is my favorite

[@Myriadis]

Ah thanks, didn't notice it. Fixed.

[@FrogFin]

Thanks for understanding not every video needs BGM

[@Myriadis]

No, not really. It pretty much just randomizes between these 5 animations and there's no animation that is used more often than others there. Recording this really wasn't that easy.

[@adalopez4034]

ha ha link don't have earrings

[@LITTLE1994]

Strange, because in the official artworks, he does.

[@Myriadis]

The first ten animations (5 for child, 5 for adult Link) are common idle animations, that why I called them "basic animations" in the description. Other animations can only be found by being at certain places (the annotiations down there say where you can get these animations), so I wouldn't say that they're as common.

[@DarkMirria1]

Does he have any different animations for when he has the Biggoron Sword or if he doesn’t have a shield?

[@mrtesticlease4638]

what the hell are you standing on for it to be making that squishing noise

[@theperfectbusiness8903]

knowing that the voice actor for child link is a woman, imagine hearing this out of context 1:35

1:39 link moans

[@robinausbayern1999]

Not only there: also at 1:53

[@CaioXG002]

Are any of these particularly more common or less common than other? Because the "looking arround" one is almost always the one I get when I'm looking arround to see what to do next too, no matter what Zelda game am I playing.

[@CaioXG002]

But, well, as I said, I get the "looking arround" one more often than the other 4, so between these 5, do you know if some is more common than others?
