[@crzymage]

​@SkeleTonHammer is it lazy though? It's such a poor argument on reused assets because there are so many games that reuse assets...but are they also lazy? Trails games, BotW/TotK, some Tales games, pokemon, Xenoblade, Final Fantasy, Dark Souls are among the many that reuse assets; some heavier than others. I do agree that the gameplay loop can be a bit tedious and frustrating often if you don't finish an area in time and you'll have to redo it, especially on a blind playthrough. I wish the song that slows down time was a little slower, but it is sufficiently forgiving enough if found.

[@whatername528]

If he thinks Ocarina is creepy…

[@jordancooney6817]

​@@SkeleTonHammerTo say Majora's Mask had a time crunch would be the understatement of the century. Miyamoto told Eiji Aonuma (the primary dungeon designer for OoT) to make remixed OoT dungeons for Ura Zelda (a remixed, harder OoT, which the concept of eventually became OoT Master Quest). But Aonuma didn't want to redesign the dungeons he had worked so hard on to make, as he thought they were at their peak. Miyamoto then allowed him to make a whole new, asset reusing game, but he wouldn't give them any extra time for it than they would have been given for Ura Zelda. That new game, the first Zelda game entirely directed by Eiji Aonuma, was Majora's Mask. I haven't fully played Majora's Mask, but I watched a full playthrough, then after finally playing OoT for myself, I started Majora's Mask, and it's fun so far.

[@Blackbaldrik]

Don't worry, your Scarecrow-based frustration is _completely_ valid, that guy is the single most BS thing in this entire game. Most people never even get him, and those that do rarely even figure out how to use him. It took me FOREVER. Thank goodness he's optional, or this definitely wouldn't be my favourite game. xD

[@UltiNegative]

54:12 is the reason why I will never call anyone who plays this game (and other games) stupid for not figuring things out. Even though I was only 5 or 6 years old, I vividly remember being stuck on that door and after 3 or 4 hours of running around in circles my Grandfather called the helpline to ask how to reach it. So no matter how much I know now, I always remember the regret of wasting money just to be told "you just jump."

[@Niko__01]

I am not that far in the video yet, but I suspected what it was and looked at the search bar for that time and I was right... I don't remember how old I was, but I was 8 when OOT came out (didn't get it right away, but pretty sure I got it by 9 years old, as I remember playing it with my friend in the first house I lived in, and I moved right before I turned 10)... I'm pretty sure the fire temple, and that jump specifically, was our first hurdle in the game... It just doesn't look like you can make the jump, and if you try once and fail, it just locks in that notion, so you won't try again... until there is nothing else to do. I think we also wasted hours there.

[@JackHeRare]

@@Niko__01as a kid that part of the fire temple wasn’t what had me stuck until I got much older. It was the damn door that’s guarding the Fire Dancer mini-boss fight. I don’t recall the game EVER telling you that you can use a bomb on it but the “special Gordon crop.”

[@DarkClaw0912]

All of these dungeons were giant puzzle boxes. The Water Temple still gets me to this day and I have replayed OoT I don’t know how many times.

[@Gaming_Garo]

I just played a Randomizer and got stuck and asked in the Discord how to progress. Turned out you can in fact jump from the hands of the Spirit Temple's statue to the platformer next to it even though it seems way too high up. There was a Golden Skulltula holding the hookshot.

[@newsoulsam3889]

I gotta add to the chorus and just mention that I recall getting stuck at that jump as well, and not for an insignificant amount of time lol

[@Talinka85]

This damn door was the reason I was stuck in this dungeon for literal days when I was a kid. I even had the guide book, but it wasn't mentioned, that you just had to jump over there. It drove me crazy. One day my older brother watched me playing and asked me why I don't just jump over to the door. I answered hin that this doesn't work, because it's too far away. I wanted to show him and jumped... Never felt so stupid in my life...

[@KonKaji]

@37:25 Don't listen to anyone calling you dumb for someone playing first time/blind playthrough. It takes multiple Zelda to notice patterns, you are doing fine. I actually enjoy watching someone experience it for the first time because it's been nearly over 30 years and still remember how lost I was playing my first Zelda (which was Link's Awakening) on original GameBoy.

[@timboslice8559]

Don’t think he’s dumb just sucks at the game sometimes. Btw I’ve never played the N64 Zelda’s. I appreciate him though

[@Chamomileable]

Fire Temple (short of that jump that looks impossible) is a great example of how fresh every OoT dungeon is. Each one doesn't just have new puzzles, but new themes for puzzles. Like how in this case the Fire Temple is very largely based around a network of single-room puzzles. There's not a huge amount of traversing backwards to slowly piece together puzzles in individual rooms (like twisting the Forest Temple for example) but instead it's small single-room or two-room puzzles that link together to get you around and open up travel while you free the Gorons.

[@Blackbaldrik]

Over _two hours_ of Ocarina of Time? What have I done to be so blessed this day?

[@daniellemcfadden3348]

Anyone calling you 'stupid' or 'dumb' for not figuring out everything on the very first play through of *any* game is a troll not worth giving the time of day. You're doing marvelously. You improve each episode and I really enjoying watching you figure things out organically. Keep it up!

[@maxsoap5650]

Bro , screw those haters. That's ridiculous. You're one of the best at what you do. Your attention to detail , lore and self immersion is fantastic. You're as real as it gets and sometimes it feels like were just chillin on a couch with snacks and tokes while playin games

[@YellowBirdOfParadise]

Oh man, I remember being stuck in that room with the moving fire for ages as a kid. It really does look like a jump you can't make. Honestly sometimes walking off and puttering about somewhere else for a bit is what you have to do, to shake off the frustration and give your brain the time to figure it out. Or ask a friend. That is alo a valid strategy. You know, I don't think I've ever fought the flare dancer the way you're meant to (aka with the bombs, as the Goron tells you to). When you first tried to hit the dragon with the hammer you actually hit the ground instead of the dragon, that's why nothing happened.

[@SolDizZo]

A lot of times with older games the clunky controls meant you weren't rewarded for your curiosity probably 20% of the time, which is too often

[@ferbdog0151]

For reals, that jump looks impossible. I was stuck in this dungeon for a whole day because I didn't bother to try and make the jump *sigh.

[@Lexyvil]

Is jumping that seemingly wide gap really the only way to make it there?

[@SolDizZo]

@@Lexyvil can you get the hover boots before this?

[@lukes.3679]

Your playthrough has been one of the highlights of the month for me. I hope people don't bum you out too much in the comments. That jump is sketch, I got stuck there in my first playthrough. There's a reason Nintendo used to have a hotline that you could call to ask for help in their games if you were stuck.

[@lermrodgers3082]

"So i need a bomb flower, but i havent seen any". Or just like a bomb 😂. I get it tho, the goron specified our special crop

lol that fire temple jump is infamous

[@rhysplaysvirtual]

I knew that one jump was going to give you trouble. Many, many people have run into the same issue. It really doesn't look like you'll reach, and when you do it's like... come ON.

[@turntsnaco824]

I agree that it looks like you probably can't make it, and even when you do, it almost looks like you glitch your way up - but it's so tantalizingly close that I refuse to believe most players don't at least try to make it. As if no one ever attempts a jump they think they might not make in a video game. 😛

[@crust5909]

you can see Link's model almost teleporting a bit to register that ledge grab lol.

[@cleverman383]

@@crust5909 Yeah, I'd love to hear a technical explanation of what's going on there. Did they have to specifically program in the ability to make that jump in particular? It doesn't look like a natural jump like the normal jumps in the game.

[@fsmvda]

You are actually doing very good at playing these just from the game itself. Some things in older games can be very opaque. While I get frustrated sometimes depending on what gets missed it's more of a fun thing and honestly you're doing better than almost anyone else would do. Keep it up with the blind playthroughs it's awesome!

[@kura-pika]

for some reason, some of my most vivid memories playing this game are from the fire temple. It wasn't my fave, nor least fave, but I think I got a bit stuck at one point so I remember it so well. Like that room with the wire fences and the shooting upwards lava block...I think I probably had fever dreams about that room as a kid lmao I feel like I was in there so much haha

[@imladrad2584]

Oh man, I’ve been waiting for the fallout from that first scarecrow encounter. 😅 You had so many great reactions to things this episode, including every time you got jump scared by a platform shooting upwards! Also - Con: You got stymied by that one jump in the Fire Temple Pro: You got to hear the Gerudo Valley theme!

[@MumboJ]

I'm so glad to hear the mods are providing spoiler-free help when you ask for it. So many times I just want to scream "Keep trying, you've nearly got it" or "No you're in the wrong place, come back later"

[@RedRupeeless]

1:16:45 "I'm gonna need a pen and paper" Dying laughing! I've been waiting for this moment since you met that dang scarecrow earlier in the playthrough. You're moderators are correct, but I knew you would eventually be prompted to encounter it. I think we all watched you make that song like "Now, THAT might have repercussions". Still love the playthrough! You're doing great!

[@spacefacecadet]

I know i used Pierre to get to that platform in the fire temple, but i have NO memory of that platform that goes into the ceiling or the room it takes you to. Either I got up there with the scarecrow and gave up, or totally deleted it from my memory. Wild. Keep up the awesome play through. People who are giving you shit are crazy. This is awesome.

[@92bstove]

This has been one of my favorite episodes. The talking through your logic on everything along with all the sidequesting was so fun

[@Majixe]

You're exactly right! This was one of my very first games, I was probably 6 years old when I started watching my older sibling play before playing it myself. I don't remember learning or figuring out half of these mechanics, and these same mechanics transfer to future Zelda games as well. It can be frustrating sometimes to watch and be internally screaming "no do x or y instead of what you're trying!" but it is genuinely fun and interesting to see somebody figure it all out for the first time, and then when you do figure the thing out it makes me even happier to see that you finally did it! Overall, it is just very fun to see somebody experience one of my favorite games for the first time and be genuinely figuring things out as they go :) Thank you for posting these and sharing, they've been a lot of fun to watch

[@tarnw3301]

fantastic episode, as usual. I'm gonna make it a habbit to point out things I never knew or have tried before (afair) in each episode: - I didn't know the pillars in the room where the flame wall chases you are high enough to safely stand on them. - I didn't know that bombs work on the flame dancer. - even though I know of the scarecrow song, I haven't used it in all possible locations. so the 200 rupee reward is something I haven't seen before.but I remember wondering, how you get to the room. apparently never figured it out lol I think that's all for now. see you next time for "OoT stuff I haven't seen before" thanks for reading (feel free to join the club)

[@Pr0phetless]

For the scarecrow song in the fire temple, I play OoT as a randomizer, so all chests have the possibility of being something you need to beat the game. So I have to know where/how to access every chest/hidden locations in the game

@1:15:36 "the scarecrow" while that ominous enemy music is blaring. 😂 it's just perfect

[@madelync7414]

The original version of the game had slightly different music for the Fire Temple. It included a prayer chant in the background. From an article, “The chanting was taken from an open sound library as opposed to composed in-house by Nintendo, and it is an Islamic prayer chant.. There was no public outcry - Nintendo only realized after initial release that it was a prayer chant, which conflicts directly with their “no real-life religious references” policy. In response, they replaced the track for all subsequent versions.” Anyway, I’d recommend looking up the original music to hear what it sounded like! I always loved it.

[@Mr-Draco]

I really enjoy both versions of the Fire Temple music, it has something very calming and mystic. I also thought about sharing that fact, but I couldn't have written it better. 🙂

[@atllauren]

I expected him to have the original Fire Temple music in the emulator version he’s playing, because the blocks have the original crescent moon icon. IIRC that symbol was replaced at the same time as the Fire Temple music for very similar reasons. When I saw the original icon in this game I thought he’d have the original music too.

as per usual, I'm amazed by your playthrough. I can't say that I've seen anyone insult you for your decisions or how you accomplish things, but if you ever read one, please ignore it to oblivion. You figure things out as you go, which is something these people simply don't remember going through somehow. You don't have to know everything about every little details in the game. And to be honest, I don't fault you at all for asking some help from time to time. This is, once again, how it happened for us as well. We'd get stuck for the whole day/afternoon, get back to school and complain to our friends about it. Sometimes they'd know what to do and tell us, and sometimes they'd also be stuck there as well and it was brainstorm time. As you pointed out yourself in the first few episodes: games weren't as straight forward as they are now with their hints (I'd even argue that they are over-hinted at this point). Anyway, great episode, you've made me laugh quite a bit and is it just me, or you seem to be getting the hang of your controller?

anyone that is leaving hateful or otherwise rude comments on your BLIND oot playthrough have clearly never finished a game without a guide, and it shows. you're experiencing the game as it was meant to be played, with lots of exploration, trial, and error - and that's half the fun of games like this!

[@cleverman383]

I played it with a guide and I regret it. I'm watching this to vicariously get the blind experience that I missed out on through Mapo

[@SnailHatan]

Ahh, yes, they must have used a guide because they’re “hateful”. Perfect logic

[@cleverman383]

@@SnailHatan It's not suggesting a direct "hateful, therefore guide user" connection. Rather, it's inferring guide usage from the commenters' unrealistic expectations about puzzle-solving speed. The argument is that these individuals are leaving hateful comments because the player is taking "too long" to figure things out. This implies they expect near-instant solutions, which is unrealistic for a blind playthrough of a game like Ocarina of Time. Such expectations suggest they might not have experienced the natural process of discovery and problem-solving themselves, leading to the conclusion that they likely relied on guides. Their hatefulness is just how they're expressing their impatience, not the reason for assuming guide usage.

This is so much fun to watch!! I can’t wait to watch you play all of the other zelda games!!

[@jelyse14]

What's frustrating about that ledge was the fact that it isn't clear that you can even make that jump, it clearly looks too high. I've always thought about this every time I replay this game and how much it might've contributed to many people getting "stuck". I remember even getting stuck one time myself because I'd forgotten about it. Its most frustrating because it isn't even a puzzle you can figure out, its 100% the map designer's fault. Definitely early 3D video game design.

[@cleverman383]

Yeah, very true! I wonder if you can even get there legitimately within the game engine or if they had to specifically modify something about it so the game lets you climb up when normally you can't make jumps like that...

[@DJ-ml9up]

I remember getting stuck at that same place in the fire temple where the ledge looks too high. I was so frustrated and spent so much time stumped that I looked it up. I was not happy at all to find out I literally just have to jump lol. Really enjoying this playthrough. For going blind you are doing/have done a great job.

I’ve been going through a really tough period and being able to come watch you experience this game blind brought me back to precious childhood memories at a time when I needed it the most. Thank you and keep doing things your way. It’s the best.

This particular spot I find is a excellent place for that wind spell 37:35

I'm totally with you on that Fire Temple jump. Even on my second playthrough it just looked too far so I searched all over the place until I remembered the solution.

[@Gravitation86]

I only like watching blind playthroughs of games because it's less exciting when they know what is coming. Sometimes people getting stuck on things or not realising things can be frustrating especially if it's something the game told you but I would rather watch all the mistakes and laugh at them than have you be completely perfect at it straight away because thats the fun of a blind playthrough the figuring it all out 😁 loving this playthrough so far 😁

[@ohheyychristian]

Thanks for bringing us on this journey! It's great to watch you think through the puzzles and find different ways to do things. On to the famous water temple next (this was my favorite actually).

[@chrisisjoking]

I got stuck in that fire wall room years ago because I was convinced I couldn't make that jump either, so you're in good company lol. Thanks for an awesome playthrough, this has been fun watching you figure things out.

The firewall room jump is where I got stuck as a kid. I always ended up getting to this point and then restarting the game and doing everything possible up to that point again, and again, and again, until I lost my cartridge and wasn't able to get another copy for seven years (thank you Wii Shop Channel). Was pretty mad when I watched a video in the early days of KZbin and found out all I had to do was make a leap of faith. 😅 It's been really cool watching you play when so fresh to the series that even some of the tropes and gameplay habits are unfamiliar to you (and this game is ideal, honestly, because it tutorializes those as well as all of the early 3D gameplay features and mechanics), and while that can sometimes be frustrating I think it's more important that you're having fun and learning the game on your own terms. Your commentary is incredibly enjoyable.

Love this series 100%! I never got to play OOT with no knowledge from before hand. This is so much fun. Keep up the good work my friend!

I love how Volvagia's skull turns into the heart container.

[@eemilsalms5092]

Im glad I found this channel.

[@nimbus3218]

It’s so entertaining seeing you find interesting solutions to the game like using bombs instead of hook shot to beat the fire dancer.

[@miwer1000]

"i don't have to hold any notes" wait a moment. You think you have to copy the exact speed? No no no, just mash the right order and your good for any song

[@Rulytasho]

I think people felt justified to tell you about the Roll, cause it is something you'd know if you read the instruction booklet that comes with the game. No one had that issue cause back then, cause if your parents bought you the game, on the ride home you read the booklet, mostly cause you are excited to play. It is basically a ritual.

Discovered your channel a few days ago! I like following this project a lot and i am glad I can watch a new part of it every day. Cyberpunk is next on my list. Thank you for this, Sir! Also, you seem like a very enjoyable, considerate person. I like how you emerge into the world, comment on atmosphere, music, NPCs and dialogue. I enjoy listening to your perspective. And fuck all haters and impatient fanbaseliners; you are progressing very well ingame despite playing blind. You should've seen me on my first playthrough... I was stuck in Kokiri Forest for four reallife-days, because couldn't find Kokiri sword! Or rather: my 10-yo-kiddo-brain couldn't remember, that i needed the sword in order to continue in the story. And who else can claim that they knew the path to Forest temple by heart before having gained access to Deku-tree yet!? In the end, I only found the sword, because I was like "Hell, yeah, I am gonna practice my swordsmanship with a Deku-stick in the Kokiri training grounds while i don't have a sword yet!!!" - so I went and found the hole that lead to the Kokiri sword XD Happy little accidents, like Bob Ross would say! Even I eventually progressed and managed to beat the game without a clue, a brain, the internet or an eager commenting section! You got this, too, I believe in you!

[@conradoccaminha]

"We have a hammer, there's multiple holes in the floor... Is the boss Whackamole?" Yes.

1:39:06 - "What's the time limit for?" he asked, while staring directly at the huge wall of fire directly in front of him that wasn't there a moment ago.

Just adding to the chorus, the ledge got me too. I also never knew those shaking blocks went up because they scared me so much I jumped off immediately. I got frustrated/stressed a lot in dungeons and ran around doing side stuff constantly is when I found a bunch of fun weird stuff like the scarecrows. If you never get frustrated and take a break explore you miss out on some of the fun stuff that isn’t strictly necessary to beat the game but is cool to discover and most of what I like about it. When I replay I’m shocked at how straightforward it can be because as a kid the game was essentially riding Epona around and exploring, with sprinklings of plot. I am stunned at how fast you managed both the run to the hammer chest and the run to the optional scarecrow chest. Maybe just me but I really struggled to get the timing right on the narrow paths and had to try over and over. No worries about consulting help; if I’m remembering right, part of the goal for Zelda from the first game was to be tricky enough to encourage talking to friends for help. And it is maddening when you can see what is next but the pieces aren’t clicking yet. Anyway: thanks for posting these, they are very fun, and I appreciate your low key but enthusiastic approach.

[@coffeec8873]

you have great mods!! it can be hard to give only the exact information needed to progress. looking stuff up yourself is just full of landmines 💀

[@timothyalton3821]

Prepare for the most certified banger of all Time 1:12:04

[@The_dandy_zombie]

I feel like the fire temple really teaches you to never assume something wont work until you try. The game teaches you that before but its very apparent in the fire temple

[@dheu]

I know you want to make your target audience happy but anyone who would call you stupid for playing through at your own pace and having fun as you work things out aren’t people you should consider your target audience. Please do your best to ignore them because those people absolutely needed help in figuring out some of these puzzles and absolutely got stuck at least once or twice, they just pretend they know it all. I and many others are really enjoying this journey with you as you figure everything out. This is a genuine blind playthrough which is rare to find nowadays, and I think you’re doing really well.

[@toadynamite8141]

Your doing great in this Temple Mapo, my favorite Game, probably of all time

[@erikd16]

The scarecrow thing was hysterical! I’m glad you worked it out in the end. The only reason I knew how to do that was because I owned the guide
