[@dorkly]

What game should we investigate next?

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Kirby! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@anthonyshedd6411]

MegaMan exe

[@JaredBissell]

Metroid

[@puncak3s976]

Castlevania

[@andrewsides4484]

Pokémon

[@bewilderbeestie]

Fun fact: if you ignore the moblin funeral and explore the graveyard, you'll find it extends off indefinitely in every direction. Turns out that over the years, Link has killed a _lot_ of moblins.

[@MrDeedsly]

Awe so that's where Kojima got the idea from for MGS 3's river of death.

[@JGreen-le8xx]

You missed one Easter egg. In the old man's living room where all the swords are in the upper right, the fifth one in is the master sword painted green and brown!

[@judaiyuki5597]

lol yeah the master sword traveled back in time so it could exist 😂

[@JGreen-le8xx]

@@judaiyuki5597 it existed but no one knew cause its hiding in that pile. 😁

[@judaiyuki5597]

@@JGreen-le8xx lol aight i can work with that 😂

[@jcsjapan]

This works, because technically the Master Sword, or at least some form of it, exists by this point, as the original game is way down the Fallen Hero timeline. Considering the Master Sword is in Link to the Past and Link Between Worlds, it is in this timeline somewhere, so I buy your Easter Egg theory. ;)

[@estevez_company-ish2.mp4]

Where? I don’t see it.

[@BuildinWings]

This is one of the most-original premises for a sketch I've seen in a long time. Perfectly clear set-up, countless chances for escalation, any number of games. Please do more of these!!

[@wugglesx]

Another guy did one for Mario , starts off believable then gets ridiculous, like 3d in a nes game. This being dorkly worked against them for me a little. Instead of wondering what i didn't know i was like "what crazy stuff are they gonna come up with" haha. They still got me good 😂 the animations are just getting better with time to

[@avataraarow]

Yeah this is such a good idea I love it

[@RabblesTheBinx]

@@wugglesx that... was also Dorkly (possibly Lowbrow before the merger, but doesn't matter, they're the same animators, either way).

[@DavidCruickshank]

They did one for Sonic way back in the day.

[@wugglesx]

I found out the one i was talking about by accident it was doogtoons.

[@Akex-if2pi]

I remember finding this Easter Egg by accident as a kid but could never recreate it! Glad to see someone else found it!

[@retsz]

What? How did you miss an entire stage where the Zora from the lake gets indicted for leaving link to drown without attempting to render aid or call emergency services? The sentencing phase of the trial is the single hardest stage in all of Nintendo history as zora tries to flee the courtroom while avoiding the bailiffs and family of the victim

[@timwoods2852]

Link has a family!?

[@retsz]

@@timwoods2852 link to the past, opening scene, his uncle goes to save the princess himself. He doesn’t make it very far. Ya see: In west hyrule born and raised, on the playground is where he spent most of his days. Then a couple of guys they were up to no good. Started making trouble in his neighborhood. Got in one little fight and his mom got scared. She said “you’re moving In with uncle in Bel-air” I think she meant to say hyrule Either way, yes. That was his uncle Phil. There are more relatives but they don’t have catchy theme songs describing their origins

[@timwoods2852]

@@retsz While I respect the dedication to the reference (👏), that's a completely different Link. To my knowledge, in the original game, he has no family.

[@retsz]

@@timwoods2852 you’re right. I got them mixed up. well, this link here has a completely different origin but I can’t remember the entire verse of the song that describes it, but you can rest assured it’s catchy and definitely isn’t anything you’ve heard on ABC network’s TGIF lineup sometime in the early 90s.

[@lisandroreynoso]

You missed one Easter egg: if you reset the game after Link's drowning and you stay in the title screen for 5 mins, Link's body goes down the waterfall

[@JB52520]

Huh. Neat.

[@dshaynietheawesome]

The animation on 8 bit sprites is so fluid i love how it’s evolved over the years

[@wstine79]

I'd like to see what secrets happen in the Legend of Zelda 2. Like, what happens when that lady in the red dress heals you in her house?

[@Significantpower]

You discover her hidden drug den.

[@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785]

Oh, I think we all already know the answer to that. 😉

[@elijahechicagobearsboyd5734]

SEEEEEEEEXXXX

[@MemphiStig]

@@elijahechicagobearsboyd5734 yt is trying to translate that to English! 😂

[@ThatAnArchyDude]

Just boot it up on an emulator & remove the foreground layer. 😜

[@crash.override]

The true final boss was how to cook those f*ing pizza poppers! 🍕

[@shadowki5687]

Dang, i knew i missed something in that first level

[@MontegomeryLoL]

The two rupees over the dead moblin's eyes was a nice touch.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Thanks For this Guys! Never figured out how to enter this one!

[@TheLunarLegend]

How will Nintendo react? Nintendo: DMCA, you'll be hearing from our lawyers.

[@UnknownKRSM]

3:19 Did you literally do all that, just to kill Link?! Because that's super funny.😂

[@Jianichie]

Ugh. I never moved the table! No wonder I never got that tunic.

[@MTown587]

Link would’ve probably survived the water if he had a fish suit

[@GabePuratekuta]

A lot of games can be improved with a fish suit.

[@Ferrari255GTO]

​@@GabePuratekuta God Of war had one in one of the Ps2 games and i'm pretty sure it's the best one in the whole series, clearly can't go wrong with the tuna suit

[@ThePencilpants69]

Well, he does have his blue armor set from "Ocarina of Time".

[@KFCuser]

@@Ferrari255GTO You're right and it was called the ''Cod of war'' costume

[@S1L3NTDr460n]

With a little bit of scrolling, it doesn't look like many other people picked up on it, but don't worry, your "hott coffee" mention was not lost on me ;)

[@MorglortheMangler]

All that trouble, grave robbing and drowning just to get a new sightly darker version of your old outfit…..totally worth it.

[@brandongiles7240]

I love how original these feel. A breath of fresh air from “what if video game character turned into fucked up monster” sketches

[@DacDaMan710]

Lol that start sounded so real i though this was a stream for a second lol

[@procow2274]

Pffft i discovered this easter egg when i was 8 silly young people rediscovering the wheel

[@TheStickCollector]

Nice artwork

[@keith9129]

Are we gonna ignore the unfinished lore of the dorsel seven? The shark suit?? Stop avoiding the questions that matter Dorkly

[@MJMcKenzie322]

If Nintendo re-releases the original few games on Switch, these Easter eggs should be included. That includes this, the humping goombas, and whatever they do in the future. Maybe Kirby 1?

[@XXSoulReaverXX1]

That was brilliant! Best vid you guys have put out in a long time.

[@ablosch2452]

This vaguely reminds me of that old Call Of Duty Fake Easter Egg video where they made it look like if you shoot the corners of the one doorway in a specific way, an angry old lady would come out and yell at the player. Anybody remember that video?

[@bunkerzero]

Everyone: classic dorkly skit!!! Nintendo: HOW DID THEY KNOW!!!

[@TheSameGoobyGuy]

Kirby idea: Kirby walks in on dedede piggishly eating all of dreamland’s food

[@blaster915]

This is brilliant!! Great concept!! Love to see more of these!! 😁😁

[@Phoenix_257]

I tired to do this as soon as I started watching this video, following the steps. But now I have become depressed now knowing that this was fake

[@BlixerTheGamer2024]

1:19 POV: You lost all your money after gambling

[@bruvlodski317]

That bit where you reveal that moblin picture is absolutely wild

[@CrazyGamingYT56]

Love your content keep up the great work

[@karljohan2300]

always amazing how expressive one can do with pixels

[@davidbaker9479]

This is top tier dorkly! I am so glad dorkly is making things lile this again.

[@darkreflection9087]

This always surprises me because I can never expect this

[@petermontgomery638]

This explains the weird scene in Link's Crossbow Training, didn't realize it was a callback

[@ivanmegafanboy1981]

That's a beautiful flailing and drowning animation

[@francoalmiron5107]

I remember that Easter Egg too, i actually loved staying in the break room and see what stuff they have, hope we see more of these videos, they are very nostalgic remembering those Easter Eggs.

[@ImaginaryTerrie3]

My dad when he was a kid did the mocap for Link drowning.

[@patrickblakethesaint]

I freaking love this series so much

[@Stawnish83]

I love this! This is for all the OG original Nintendo players 🙌

[@jierdareisa4313]

I love ALL Dorkly videos!!!! ❤

[@levischuurmans9400]

"How do you like my swimming?"

[@inkomi2142]

That Link drowning animation had me dying, props to to the animator!

[@Hack_Man_VII]

After the annoyance of the OLD MAN in the Zelda Rap, I was legit hoping that Link would have to MURDER him on Cold blood to progress.

[@punkylynneramone1981]

I didn't know about any of this! That's crazy.

[@vanceamazing9745]

Not gonna lie, a slightly darker character skin sounds like a real easter egg reward for most videogames.

[@Alicorn_Fox]

Yooo, Sonic, I love hearing you rip some names. I wish mine could be on the block!! Just wait til I get the big bucks lmao

[@MPAbsorb]

Loved it!

[@shirrenthewanderer414]

The instruction manual specifically says that the swords are made out of wood. That's better than nothing at all and I don't see any blacksmiths around in this part of Hyrule (note that the first sword you get in Twilight Princess is a wooden sword. And the fact still remains you can shoot beams with it at full health (or throw the sword and somehow magically get another one).

[@keyblader007]

Lol these are great!

[@yatanogarasu]

That poor old man, but giving out crappy swords to innocent boys like Link.

[@rphb5870]

ye know that is not a wooded sword right? [best zelda rap ever]

[@jaydenblyden1703]

"*LOOK I KNOW I WEAR A TUNIC, BUT I'M NOT INTO MEN!"*

[@novamarpo3]

Aight this was fun!

[@PhoutianPhill]

Love it and this style More please.

[@giggityking6505]

If King Dedede had an assistant

[@sonsoflightinc]

Oh wait, Kirby. Cuz...well that's an easy one! There's so many directions you can go with that one.

[@rocknatex5013]

After seeing the thumbnail, I assumed the secret to everybody was finally revealed, leading to the Moblin needing to be silenced.

[@theoblongtomato]

For a second, I was sure this was going to turn into Ben Drowned

[@TheNonameHousehold]

I am loving these! can you the battle toads? 😁🐸🎮 -Adam

[@SmokeyMcb]

To Dorkly: The next game that you should investigate next is: Chrono Trigger

[@theangriestgamer]

They had me in the first 10 seconds.

[@jayrony69]

Aww come on dorkly is doing it too?

[@stebbenwolfe]

I never noticed this until now but isn’t it strange that the title card has a cutlass but as far as I know no one in the game uses a cutlass?

[@Zwyrx_Hgqfyggz]

Dorkly went from calling Dan Forden the Toasty Guy to actually using his name I'm so proud

[@DarkOrderSolDjango]

In the selection screen if you write AGGIN backward you get a cool easter egg.

[@madsorathewolf2036]

I tried this, and it just makes the game unbeatable. Soon as you enter the cave and get the sword and come out, you get surrounded by bugged-out Wizzrobes with a white pallette, that quickly give a game over.

[@kingeagle410]

Do Boy and his blob next

[@youtubezanimeartfanz3973]

I thought we'd see links body go down the waterfall at the title 😅😅😅

[@manoftheusajones5147]

Do Freedom Planet next!

[@demos456]

That last screen link jumps into reminds me of Startropics. Do not read any further if one of these are true: - you didn't finish this video. - you plan on playing Startropics for the first time. Not sure which level it was in, but in some dungeons you can find secret areas that gives you "potential" lives (it can actually take one from you sometimes...), hearts, and weapons. But there's one that has another secret in it... which leads you to a room full of water and Mike doesn't know how to swim XD Devs must have had the time of their lives when they thought about what they were doing with that one :P

[@patrickbuswell]

Wow!! Amazing one! Mooooore plz

[@gamashito3771]

There are some secrets that I wish I never knew this is one of them. But it is still funny

[@Kentrc11]

Giving Tone Loc some love. Wild Thing!

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Good video

[@jamesnguyen8731]

Really love this secret. really makes you think.

[@darknessblades]

But what about the Ultrasupersecret level, that you get after squeezing every ruby out of the enemies at the poker table

[@polfachini6489]

love you Dorkly! 🇧🇷🔥👊 CHAMA!

[@Sly88Frye]

All that just to drown and slightly changed Link's color.😂

[@the14thgamer31]

Remember the saying: If they DMCA / Strike it down, It means It’s cannon

[@TheGiggleMasterP]

I compared the pixels. It's the same.

[@Doomic-zc5um]

Bro in the water section I swear when I looked at it more , the more it looks like I'm looking at a 3ds. It's so weird. Cool but wierd.

[@XxNeonRayxX]

Holy crap I remember this dam this was good Easter egg 🥚 blew my mind back then

[@denifnaf5874]

Reminds me of the smb one

[@Impstar]

When Link was drowning, you were supposed to press ^ V < > clockwise 3 times and hit A when the Octo appears. Doing so will give you 50 rupies and a blue tunic on the next restart of the game. =3

[@digimainerogers4164]

They are contractally not allowed to fight you LOL!!!

[@DanielLCarrier]

Why were they going to bury that guy in the break room?

[@Morboeatspeople]

I'm STILL watching the Resident Evil one pretty much every day; now this? You know I have other things I need to do, right?

[@marrinox]

I legit was expecting all that for a piece of heart, but this was still decent, lol

[@brandonnewby178]

*horror flashbacks... I had to draw that scroll... 17 times...

[@arkbuble]

For anyone who is confused, when you enter the a cave it usually send you to a specific location depending what square are you on the overworld. However, because of an oversight it's possible to trick the game into thinking you are in a different tile by what we call "B-A dry humping wall", where you use those two buttons simultaneously to change a specific bit making the game thinks you are in a different location. But since the position of the cave is also a factor to determine where you are going to end this makes you go to a "combination" of two different caves, one of which was never implemented in the game but have part of its code still in the cartridge. Once you make it to the cemmetery and the Moblin has been pushed, you enter a space he was stood in that is technically out of bounds so the game will then try to push you back to the previous screen, this is where we take advantage of the scroll which starts changing a lot of bits in the cartridge, one of them making the casket a movable object while also making the hole another entrance to the next screen (DO NOT USE ANY OTHER ITEM It could be very dangerous if you are playing on an original cartridge), those rupees while be very important lately, wait for it. Before this glitch wasn't that useful, since people couldn´t predict where the next hole would send you because there was no way to consistently change the exact data to send you to where you wanted to go. So this exploit went ignored for years, but in June 2016 the SpeedRun community discovered "The Double Expresso Skip" which sends you right to the Zelda room at the end of the game, and the rest is history.

[@MegaPacKid]

¿Why are these animated in 16:9 when the games, including the title screens which are shown unedited, are in 4:3?

[@gregoryvn3]

I am disturbed now.
