Don't know if you know this yet, but the song of time blocks are quite interesting. All of these maps exist in both the child and adult versions (though many are unreachable as a child). When you play the song of time to a song of time block, you aren't actually getting rid of it, you are actually moving it to the other timeline, from adult to child, or child to adult. This isn't actually important to the main game, besides being cool in game lore, but in some modded versions of the game, that mechanic is quite useful.

I watched the stream and here I am, so you can see my answer to your question about comparing this temple to the N64 version. 1. The places where you raise the water were not colour coded, you just had to remember where to go. 2. The boots were part of your equipment screen so you would have to pause to unequip/equip them every time you wanted to sink/surface. 3. The camera does not pan to that hidden room inside the center pillar. 4. The crystal you hit to gain the skulltula on the floor level was hidden behind the gate, where you would have to use a bomb/power sword attack to hit it. PS that Dark Link edit was fantastic. That intense music brought me such joy.

[@King_Luigi]

@@geschnitztekiste4111 It doesn't have those glowing lines on the wall, which lead you to each of the water level "switches". They also added this little cutscene at 25:32 to show that hole (it's easily missable and leads to a key, so it's also necessary). There's also a quality of life change that just makes the temple far less annoying. That being, the iron boots are an item now. Originally it was equipment that you had to _pause the game_ _every time_ you wanted to equip and un-equip them. The game itself also had a lower framerate, so, as if moving through water wasn't already a slow process, the low fps made things take that much longer. So y'know, exploring it was really tedious and slightly harder to navigate.

[@thajocoth]

In the original version of the game, the Water Temple had a lot more tedium to it because you had to open your inventory every time you wanted to change your boots. If the water level changing spots were replaced with switches instead, then all the tedium would be removed. This tedium is why people have so much trouble with what is otherwise, in my opinion, one of the best designed dungeons of this game.

[@jonatanrk]

Just the fact that this version puts focus on the hole/path when you raise the water level to 2, makes it soooooo much more playable.

Something interesting I don't know if you noticed, but as you progress the Dark Link fight he gets more and more opaque and solid.

Yeah, they streamlined the 3DS remaster with a bunch of useful stuff to make the Water temple less confusing and tedious. Not to say it completely alleviated it, but it is much better. For instance, they color coded the water levels. Before you just had to remember which symbol raised to which height. Another big difference, and probably the biggest improvement to not just the temple but the game as a whole, was the itemification of the Iron Boots. Previously, the Iron Boots worked like equipment, similar to the different colored tunics. So, in order to swap the boots on and off, you had to pause the game, go to the equipment tab, and change which boots you where wearing. It got really old, really fast. It also made locations in the temple where you breezed through a living nightmare.

The Biggoron sword is the instant win button vs dark link. Mad respect going back and doing the fight with the master sword even though it wasn't necessary.

You always keep me smiling the whole episode. Your ocerina of time episodes never come quick enough for me. Keep up the good work. I genuinely enjoy seeing you experience the same things I have all them years ago.

When this first came out, I played it every day for my 3 kids when they finished their homework. I've beaten it repeatedly and found every piece of heart through all of Hyrule. Though BOTW is now my favorite in the series, Ocarina holds a special place for me, my sons Joshua (almost 30), Austin (28), and my daughter Heather (26). Thank you for bringing back such wonderful memories!

[@victorholowinski4619]

I'm not sure if you do the editing on your videos or not, but the editing is so good. I caught most of the livestream for this episode and whoever does the editing does a great job of not cutting too much out, but also cutting out unimportant parts and the parts where you interact with twitch chat etc. Awesome work!

When I was growing up with the game the water temple was such a pain but...that Dark Link is my favorite mini boss of all time.

[@shantakidd6230]

Fun fact I just found out about the music in the water temple. The trickling water sound repeated throughout it is just a sped up higher pitched version of the clanging sounds that can be heard at the beginning of the forest temple music

[@SeniorLady]

I've never seen anyone so crazy-happy to find the Boss Key!!! Lordy, this is a funny episode! Love the second Dark Link fight - so beautifully epic in this edit.

[@dimetrodon2250]

the dark link armor set in botw is based on ocarina of time dark link (the tunic and hat are just a recolor of the ocarina of time armor set). the hair is even the same.

Back in my day, you had to pause the game in order to put your boots on and take them off...and you liked it!

[@Allaiya.]

I never ended up beating OoT on the N64 as a kid because of the Water Temple. If I recall correctly, they don't mark the rooms where the water levels are, the iron boots must be equipped like normal boots, and they also don't have the camera angle to show you where that hidden room/key is when you raise the water level - you just had to discover it on your own. So I ended up missing the key, raising the water level, & couldn't figure out how to go back & get it. Eventually I started over as a teen & finally beat it. XD

36:40 i love that the battle of Link vs Dark Link he start transparent and gradualy become clear as do you damage him.

[@117green11]

Now imagine doing this temple without any signs that you can raise or lower the water and needing to go into the equipment screen every time you want to put on and take of the iron boots

[@thenonexistinghero]

They also added visual cues to the different entrances to make it easier to determine where you are.

[@joerexhausen8897]

The water temple isn't as bad to me as i feel the Master Quest version of it is when i first played it at least. The dungeon is much easier to navigate w/ the water levels if you know about the scarecrow song.

[@Zaya512]

And this is the easier version, they added a lot to the remake to make it easier. He always talks about how did you guys do this as kids" it wasn't like this when I played. It was even worse. 😄

[@unclebobboomergames]

I dont feel like looking it up. What did they change? I notice the marks to show what level it brought the water level to. Thats all I've noticed. Maybe the focus on the whole the block makes instead just showing it flow up

[@mindaraneras2679]

@@unclebobboomergames One other thing was that they made it easier to equip and unequip the iron boots. In the original, you had to constantly bring up the menu to change.

@@mindaraneras2679 I remember. And honestly...to this day it still doesn't really bother me.

[@multivversecomplex7917]

fun fact: dark link doesn't just copy your moves. he will always have the same health as you regardless of your run. for example if you fight him with 6 hearts, he will have 6 hearts. if you have 10 hearts he will have 10 hearts. and the longer you fight him the more solid he becomes and more powerful. in the most real way "Dark Link" is Link! he is you! Physically and emotionally!

[@MarcelaR-L]

The iron boots in the N64 were not an item. We had to pause everytime we wanted to put on the boots. Also there were no markings on the walls to help find where to change the water level.

[@DarkNog]

Not sure why people hated this temple. Yes, the mechanic with putting the boots on and taking them off in the pause menu was irritating. But the design and concept of the temple is, in retrospect, extremely well thought out. It's unrivalled in OoT because it's so non-linear. It's hard to get proper stuck in the other temples.

[@andykegs5584]

I was watching this on twitch when he was playing this. I love how you cut the fire arrow, it took soooooo long to get Deebee to figure out what chat was trying to tell him 🤣

[@the_bookworm8281]

If you thought the Water Temple was cryptic and confusing, believe or not, it was even WORSE in the original N64 version. 1) The pathways that lead to the water level switches were not color-coded in the original game. This can make it hard to know where they were at times, and it is harder to make clear on changing the water level. 2) The cutscene at 19:34, showing you the way downwards, did not exist in the original game. The end result is that many would miss out on that small key and be stuck at that point for a long while. 3) The biggest of all, the Iron Boots couldn't be assigned to a button. You had to go into the menu every time you want to equip and unequip it.

[@solitarioerrante4296]

The only time i had problem with this temple, was in my first time playing this game, after this, the water temple turned into a pretty fine level

[@guilherme9850]

One thing you should do more is to use the map and compass. They really really help you to know where you came from and where you still have to go. But, I glad you beat this, it was a great accomplishment

It is incredible how easy this temple becomes with the small changes that were made for this version...

[@plee821]

On the N64, I remember I was stuck in this templefor more than a week LOL.

[@Mike_jmg9]

I'm probably one of the few people in the world that actually knows the water temple in OOT, and I'm able to backtrack where I messed up, if I did. Pretty awesome first attempt at the water temple. Specially beating dark link with the master sword, it's way easier using the big goron sword which you already had. Most of the time I end up missing one key when I have to go get the boss key. That one is way more frustrating than missing the boss key. On the other hand you did struggle quite a bit with some of the easiest rooms in the temple

[@princeofhyrule2205]

I’ve been watching your livestreams, but I still go back to watch your yt vids too because u put so much love into your videos and edits! I’m really glad I found u on KZbin and can experience your adventures with link for the first time! Thank you so much!

[@Merz0r]

The fish tank during the live stream was so good lol. Man, you're fortunate to run the Water Temple on the 3DS. Some nice quality changes. Water Temple in the N64 version requires you to pause and go to your gear every time you want to equip and unequip the Iron Boots. Dx
