Zelda: Ocarina of Time Piano Medley (Extended) Nostalgia Edition

[@christianbaeza7122]

My dad wasn’t a gamer but he loved a great story, I was a gamer and I had just gotten OOT, so he sat there with me watching me play and deeply immersed in the adventure. Hours we went laughing, seriousness, even scary moments all with the amazing score of this timeless game but he was there with me through it all to the end. My dad isn’t here with me anymore but his memory will forever be... yes I cried my eyes out but I truly want to thank you. You reminded me of not just those gaming moments with him but of just my dad being my dad. I could not have asked for a better reminder of how awesome he was. Thank you.

It shows how emotional Zelda music is, so many of the comments are, ‘I played this game, at this age, with this person, but they’ve passed away now.” It’s lovely to hear of the great times, and the super amounts of nostalgia.. but it’s also super sad reading that those times can’t be shared anymore.

When you play this game as an adult and realize you've lost all the imagination you had as a kid.

You were so engaged into the story, and immersed by your surroundings that every area you explored had its own smell. I really miss that.

As an adult that limitless feeling can now be experienced in the real world, and the bounderies of video games can be appreciated :)

Of course I had a Nintendo but I had never experienced legend of Zelda let alone an RPG. I’m 30 years old now and that memory sticks out, my biggest influence in gaming was my father. The worst thing this life ever hit me with was your sudden passing at my great uncle funeral. I think about you often, especially when the nostalgia transports my mind to days long since past. Thank you for getting me into horror, and video games and giving me support whenever I needed.

Full disclosure: the water temple never bothered me. I didn't even know water temple hate was a meme until sometime in the past couple of years 😆

[@thejediyeti8372]

@@TheFiddleFaddle The only reason it was labeled this way is because of the fact that in the N64 version you had to go in and out of the gear menu to switch the iron boots on and off. The boots were needed alot in the temple (obviously) and this was the most tedious thing to deal with. This problem was solved with the 3DS version ofcourse and still the temple received the connotation of being "hard". This even confuses me because the temple in my opinion isnt even hard compared to the other ones in the game and is one of the easier ones.

I used to play hours and hours when I was a child and I remember I couldn't get pass the Kokiri forest because I didn't understand what I had to do (I didn't understand english at the time). But I didn't care because I imagined behind the walls there were magical and amazing places to explore, and I tried to go beyond the walls without success. But the day I could get out to Hyrule field, I wasn't disapointed and every town and dungeon was way better that I imagined, and the excitement to fight against a boss and finish the game for the first time, is a feeling I have never felt since..
