That key drove me crazy 😂

[@Hexadeca]

The ear flick of annoyance at 10:02 was so good. Any game where you're missing the last dungeon key and you swear you checked every room is maddening.

[@Tylendal242]

I reached the epitome of that in the TP water temple. Since the boss door is so far away, I didn't realize it was a boss key door, I thought I needed another Small Key. I searched the entire dungeon trying to find something that didn't even exist.

[@bensoncheung2801]

Toads.

[@jacobzawadzki2051]

Absolutely nailed every aspect of this. Missing the bottom room in the central tower, all the pausing to switch boots, not grabbing the golden skulltula in the room before dark link bc you dont have the longshot yet, links shadow disappearing after walking across the little island. Everything about this is perfect. Well done! Edit: OH MY GOD missing one small key at the last door too 😭

You actually encapsulated every thing annoying fking thing about this dungeon. The boot swapping, the floating center pillar hole area that *everyone* misses, the scouring for the boss key; the lot. You can tell you really did have this experience when you were younger with the rest of us. Absolutely incredible video!!!

That final realization he doesn’t have the key at the end of the dungeon hits deep. The painful backtracking is the one thing I remember about this temple, besides the Shadow Link fight.

[@kuraraan_]

8:44 THE WAY LINK WORRIES FOR NAVI IS SO ACCURATE I remember how in old animations they always portray her as annoying thanks for not doing the same 😔

[@VortexF]

I mean,she is, it's just that old animations portray link as not as someone who would care about his only friend in his life,but as the player having to deal with navi's stupid voice and repetitive dialogue

[@LunaHeroflare]

That's a thing I always love about his animations. Terminal doesn't always just go for the low-hanging fruits that pretty much every animator uses (link hates navi, mario and luigi hate each other, sonic hates tails) but he portraits them mostly how the games intended and turns that up to 11.

[@D_YellowMadness]

@@LunaHeroflare Yeah, like he only makes Simon insane because he already seems a little insane to begin with & he only make Kirby terrifying because he already kinda is but he doesn't make either of them plain evil.

[@Arcessitor]

@@LunaHeroflare Doesn't go for low-hanging fruits - did you seriously not look at the video? Everything in it is low-hanging fruit. That's what makes it funny.

[@wilhemtehlynx]

That Dark Link fight was so epic. That miniboss was more interesting and fun than the actual boss of the dungeon. Just you, your shadow, and evenly matched skills.

[@NotLordAsshat]

What's funny to me is I actually have no idea how the fight goes. When I fought it as a kid I thought it was literally impossible to fight him conventionally, and that you had to use magic, which is what I did Edit: notably magic kills him in like two hits

[@BeckyNosferatu]

Animation was fantastic, too. But the actual fight? Naaah... he only mirrored sword and shield. I would just thrust-stab with the Biggoron sword. He doesn't jump on that one like he does the Master.

[@hakai1014]

I would’ve like Dark Link to be the actual boss of the water temple

[@potatosackhead5922]

Switching Boots Almost Every 4 Screens Is Too Accurate.

[@Promidonigadon]

[@addison_v_ertisement1678]

Remaster players can't relate.

[@timothywarren6574]

The constant pausing to switch boots, Link constantly missing the hidden door at 5:22 . . . it's comforting to know we all have the same bad memories about this temple

[@JoshDeng]

A clue!

[@DandyGizmo]

It took me and my brother over 2 years to find that blasted key inside the center pillar after raising the water and that water platform. We reset the game multiple times thinking we missed something. That whole scene of Link looking everywhere for the missing key was basically me and my brother for over 2 years. It's both hilarious and painful to watch... lol

[@cowbats]

That is some wild dedication 🤣

[@johnlimones210]

Dude I got to that part when I was 12 in 2002 gave up cause it was driving me crazy!!! Then got back to it when I was 18 got stuck on the same part then went to KZbin I was so content on beating the game with no help but when I finally saw that I felt so stupid the rest of the game was a breeze after. That was the only thing I looked for help on

[@thecatastrophe132]

[@Blubbii88]

As a kid, I would go over to a friend after school and we would play Zelda OoT. We were also missing the last key. My friend even bought the official strategie guide and we knew where the last key was, but we didn't know how to get there. After multiple weeks daily scouting, we came back one day and his older brother progressed. He didn't even remember what he did, but we never made a new save because of the terrors of the water temple. Many years after I played it myself on my own console and found out, that there was a passage behind the hookshot.. We never bothered to revisit the room, expecting it to be a dead end treasure room.

[@Rhy2412TitanGamer]

Love the attention to detail with the Dark Link fight. As a minute passes he slowly goes from being transparent to opaque. He stops defending & starts becoming aggressive to a high degree & could easily cause players to run out of fairies if they didn't learn he couldn't block the Biggoron sword, Giant's Knife, or was powerless against Din's Fire. You could also use the hookshot to force a dodge roll, then slash him before he recovered if you were fast & close enough if you had the skill. But I like that this tackled the fight from a new player's perspective of Dark Link turning into a literal nightmare if you didn't know how to deal with him. *Bravo!*

[@Whofan06]

I really need to do the Dark Link fight correctly. He's so easy to cheese if you use the Megaton Hammer or the Biggoron Sword, i never got to see what was so awesome about him

[@phidostik]

Headshots with the bow.

[@jarrmann]

also the part where link gets cucked by himself i hated that part in the game

[@pknepps]

​@Whofan06 the point of the fight was to cheese him. Dark link was supposed to always beat link in sword combat, its the fact that link has powered up in the form of hus items that makes hims now special

[@MsDBZbabe]

9:21 my brother thought the game was broken cuz he couldn’t find the last key and gave up the whole game, thankfully I finally turned it back on and continued finishing what he started, funny how we all experienced this running around pain

[@EmperorHelix]

He missed the key in Ruto's room lol

[@ajohnymous5699]

What I love about these are how close they get to describing something frustrating, yet endearing, about the game. "You have to navigate and invisible fire maze where you almost walk through it before knowing if it's safe." Or "you had to pause the screen like a million times for the iron boots on water temple." The fights, the puzzles, common places for mistakes depicted perfectly.

That was my last time getting stuck hard on that game but I had been stuck other times.

Everything here was so relatable. The boot swapping, the annoying enemies, the confusing puzzles requiring water level manipulation, link (us) getting fed up with it as some point and learning to streamline actions, practically every single room animated in the temple was instantly recognizable and brought me back to playing it on my N64 as a kid. Congrats on the animation. As another commenter said: this really is the essence of the water temple.

[@IamCoalfoot]

I think we know why this video specifically took as long as it did. It was animated in realtime alongside playing it, _it just took that long._

[@paulmann8570]

This video makes me realize I might be one of the few that played this game around release that to this day still has a detailed gameplan for this specific Temple. It’s actually not too bad, just remember which rooms on which levels to hit now or later and make sure to remember that key below the center. If you feel insecure, double check the map and compass to be sure. The part of this video that has me appreciating the attention to detail, though, is when the enemy theme starts playing despite an enemy not being in sight. More than two decades of playing this game and that’s the detail I remembered most from this temple. Sadge.
