Ocarina of Time N64 100% - Episode 27 - Shadow Temple

[@crazydeadpool9560]

When I was much younger, I used to watch my dad play this game on the n64, and man, he had played through so many times he didn't even have to use the eye of Truth. Still and will always be the coolest person in my life.

[@d.davidson534]

[@snapjackal]

Awesome. My dad was the same. Old school Zelda guy. He was so happy to watch me work my way through this game when I was 8 or so - helped me when I needed it, but always refused to do it for me. He passed away this year. And I'm revisiting OoT on the N64 Expansion for the Switch - alone this time. Hope to be able to share this game with my child(ren) if I'm ever so fortunate. This game is truly a masterpiece.

The Shadow Temple is where Link should be questioning whether Hyrule is even worth saving.

He does it for the princess and the other people he cares about. There are good and evil people in every country.

[@MelancoliaI]

I remember the Nintendo Power strategy guide stating that the Shadow Temple was literally "built from the blood and bones" of those who died during the wars of Hyrule's past, and that the Shiekah used it as a place to interrogate/torture the enemies of the Royal family. As if the place wasn't creepy enough, but it adds an element of moral ambiguity to the story when you realize that the supposed 'good guys' aren't so squeaky-clean after all.

[@scintillam_dei]

Torture isn't always wrong. As I used to be, you are all poisoned with liberalism. My video "Liberals hate Justice" compares the US and Saudi Arabia on crime. Arabia is far superior despite being unjust for imposing satanic Islam.

[@seanconnolly5968]

Yep, and Link finds this out in the adult timeline, where he learns that the world isn’t as black-and-white as he thought it was when he was a child.

[@nintendofanatic2837]

The scary thing is that this temple has nothing to do with Ganondorf. The royal family of Hyrule themselves built this temple to torture enemies. What's even scarier is the fact it's underneath Kakariko Village with little to no knowledge from the people who live in the village.

[@UncleJun50]

Bruh...

[@MrMarkovka11]

I wouldn't say its directly underneath kakariko village. If you visualize the spatial orientation, the temple lies beneath the mountains that you see at the graveyard. Although the well is kinda a microcosm of the shadow temple, and it lies right beneath kakariko village. If nothing else, there's always that random hole you can blow up by the tree, which if you go inside, contains 2 redead monsters. And that's barely beneath the surface lol.

[@anonymousandy2789]

The fire temple was a royal prison. It made me question if Ganondorf was so evil when I saw the hell they had created, and the to free the race that was likely the guard staff locked in the cells. Link literally looses everything in this game and dies in the lost woods as a child trying to go home in the sequel. He did it all to save the royal family

I was a changed person after experiencing this temple. I'm telling you, it took every bit of courage i could muster to even set foot in this temple when i was a small child. If it weren't for my brother walking me through the beginning part of this temple, i probably would never have beaten this game.

[@Lubin-md4ml]

lol thats funny. As an 8 year old child i wasnt afraid of anything in my life, neither darkness nor of the shadow temple in ocarina of time. But i get that this temple was brutal to young children, and that i was just one of the lucky ones not to be afraid of this temple as a child. The only things that i really were afraid of at that time was probably the bleeding eyes paintings you find through the temple (those really freaked me out). And also the giant slugs who eats your shield. Those were also really freaky. :P

Coming back to watch this video after learn ing about the lore of The Shadow temple. Apparently the Shadow Temple is where the Sheikahs would bring enemies of the state and those who conspired to rebel against the ruling family of Hyrule, torture them for information, and then kill them. That information really makes me view this dungeon in a new light.

[@samwescoat5750]

E for everyone ladies and gentlemen

[@ykMMD]

In a new light?? How did you see it before lmao, with the blood, blades and everything else. There was always a torture purpose to this temple.

[@FIDEL_CASHFLOW_]

@@ykMMD right but the lure in the game itself isn't well elaborated on so when you have those creepy walls talking about the history of hyrule's bloody past you don't really understand what they are talking about. Now that I know that the Shadow Temple had a very explicit dark purpose it gives it a whole new meaning for me personally

@@nadiantix1882 Yeah, when you think about it, the Bottom of the Well is kinda scarier than the Shadow Temple in a way considering it's not surprising that the Shadow Temple is a torture chamber but the Bottom of the Well is an entire underground dungeon network that even has coffin rooms...all inside of what should just be a well...that people drank out of...eesh.

The Shadow Temple is laid out like an obstacle course for prisoners to test their will to live. If they made it through they would be released, if not then they died a gruesome death. Or they were offered a quick death

[@WcHDICE]

In my theory I think the Sheikahs built thiz temple as a triumph for those who can See the Truth and becoming an Elite if pass I don't think prisoners will go through these obstacle course cuz how terrified they are and all that pain they have to go through cuz they can't barely move

Temples that should take 20 minutes, being 2 hour long videos, because the person playing is just as confused as the people watching for help, haha. I've made sure to look the videos up on this channel from now on. You think you'll do walkthrough guides for the new Zelda game, or is this more of a classic gaming channel?

I hadn't thought much of it before, but the Shadow Temple entrance kinda reminds me of the entrance to the Black Warriors' lair in the arcade version of the first Double Dragon, especially since you warp to it in a part of the graveyard that's high up off the ground sorta like the cliff in Mission 3 and it's even dark and stormy similarly to how it's night in the forest in Mission 3; even the Shadow Temple entrance has a sliding door with a similar color to the one in DD (except the DD one slides horizontally). Not only that, but the names "Black Warriors", or, "Shadow Warriors" and Shadow Temple" are even fittingly similar.

[@UncleJun50]

I hated this temple way more than the water temple

[@TigerPaint92]

Finally someone says it. I don't see how this is easier than the water temple. So many people saying water temple is harder. I too found shadow temple more difficult and frustrating. Very irritating temple.

[@turtleduck1200]

playing this game for the first time as a 16 year old hits different because i can't relate to any of the comments about being terrified as a child. however, it is Hard and a little scary so thats why i am here lol

[@OldBenKenobi2318]

I’m literally 16 and playing it for the first time as well. And I have the same feeling as you lol.

[@Alexiih.70]

33:58 What a combo!

[@JOHNNY-qi2vm]

the feelin i had when i first time used this master key. i was so scared

[@craghopper3028]

I'm so late but dude thank you I died at the boss and thought I would have to go through the dungeon again. I admit it's tricky but once you get it once it's easy.

[@Imsoconfusedthesedays]

Nintendo and their creepy hands man…

[@Alexiih.70]

Bro, when i was a child like 9 or 8 years, i was very fûcking scared. This temple is very scary and creepy. When i was child i remember i say this, "Oh sh0t, this is a creepy temple?, the music is rare like 3:00AM." Meeeeeeeen what a memories in 2014-2015 when i was 8-9 Yearsssss!!! Now im 16, but in this year, 17 years. Well bye.

in that first silver rupee room are you required to use the hookshot or is there a way to reach that without it?

[@jakeansell5408]

Bongo bongo the boss of the shadow temple i actually found quite easy and not as hard i thought he would be

[@nikhilmurthy7096]

26:07 It is NOT recommended to use jump attacks while fighting the 2 Stalfos on the boat despite the increased damage as one could fall off. As such, one should fight them without using this technique or, at the very least, keep them at bay (watching out for their own jump attacks) until the boat reaches the other side.

[@keanureeves9802]

I’m on this part of the game after beating TOTK. I must say for a old game, a lot of newer games stole the sauce from this one. It’s that good..

[@NintendoMovies]

That's true! Ocarina of time was a big new kind of game and everyone loved it, and copied it

[@2222Public]

22:30 that was awesome!

[@IAmJeka]

The box on minute 23:58 looks different than on my switch. But I can’t remember how it looked like on my n64 back in the day. Lol

[@-obamium5320]

The torture chamber under the water well is directly below the village and was their water source.

[@a_single_white_female]

This looks so good, what are you playing it on?

[@siqnoir3626]

I’m guessing 3DS!

@@siqnoir3626 How can you not see the difference between the gamecube version and the 3DS version... They look nothing alike.

FlyingGorilla probably because I played the GameCube version 10+ years ago on a box tv. The quality was nothing like this and I haven’t played the 3DS version. Dick.

the constant 5 rupee chests really make me laugh knowing the lore now

[@Ftahirmt]

When I was younger my mom had been doing drugs and my grandma took custody of me and my cousing who lived there had an n64 and he would help me out on this game when i was stuck mind you i had no phone or internet at the time so i would have to wait for him the n64 holds alot of my core memories

[@Jason_Van_Stone]

I can't even comprehend how I beat this temple + game, with no guides as a young teen. Here I am at 39, thinking this game is harder than any Soulsborne.

[@Kirbini1]

If you think about it Oots lore is similar to the manga berserks lore

[@joseh6281]

This guy destroyed bongo bongo. Dam

[@SeanAndrew8973]

2 spin attacks to defeat mini boss after using bomb twice to draw it out. Always love playing sun song & using spin attacks on zombies to defeat all at once.

[@timsamkidsgaming5126]

So do you have to fight the boss or can you just bounce out 😅 I really hate the shadow hands yuck gives me the creeps 🤣

[@clear8629]

amazing dungeon loved the aesthetics!

[@graceperez9636]

I love how he says he will show us 3 ways to beat this level but only shows us 1 way lol

[@XxCityofLostAngelsxX]

It said 3 ways to beat the boss, and it did 😂

[@yugmittal445]

Water temple may be more difficult, but Shadow Temple honestly was more disturbing, especially the lore behind it
