[@MidnightWonko]

A few interesting oddities for you: Blind, the boss of Thieves Town, has loads of HP, but the HP doesn't matter, because the fight is 100% scripted. Blind drops to the ground and detaches his head after being hit 3 times and then again at 6 times, and dies after being hit 9 times. It doesn't matter how much damage each hit does to him, so long as it does damage. Blind takes damage from any sword, the hammer, and the canes of Somaria and Byrna. During the Ganon fight, if one lights the left torch before the right torch ever goes out, the right torch will never go out. Additionally, the Silver arrows are not required to defeat him at all (though they do speed things up a LOT); after Ganon is stunned, the split second after he recovers, he can be legit damaged by a sword attack. The timing on this strike is very narrow, but can be made trivial by charging up and releasing a spin attack just as Ganon is about to recover from being stunned. It's possible to beat Link to the Past in under 15 minutes by walking through walls. To do so. after speaking with your uncle, go inside the castle and climb up the stairs in the foyer. Jump off the ledge, but save with Select before you land on the ground. If done correctly, this will confuse the game as to which layer you're on. You can then climb back upstairs, get damaged by a guard to glitch under the upper layer, and then simply walk to the Triforce room to win. Throwing rupees into the Fountain of Happiness results in getting a weird message that tells you what kind of luck you will have today. This actually has an influence on the game: if you get "big trouble," the next ten enemies will not drop anything at all, whereas if you get "great luck," the next ten enemies are forced to drop something for you.

[@triforcetimes]

thanks for these!

[@PowerPandaMods]

Here's some trivia The game has a fully-working 1/4 magic meter upgrade, but it's never unlocked in the game. Also, it's possible to use the knockback from the Pegasus Boots to jump some of the hookshot gaps, like in the first room of Misery Mire.

[@triforcetimes]

Love these facts, thank you

[@mresturk9336]

There was also a built in button-based inventory cycling feature that was cut for unknown reasons. Would have been much nicer than having to open up the inventory menu every time you wish to switch items. Also if you sprinkle the magic dust on the sweeping woman in the village it will turn her into a fairy. You can also turn the magic stealing skull bubble enemies into fairies by using the dust on them. It is a deceptively useful item.

I use spin attack to clobber multiple enemies, penetrate offenses, deal heavier damage, and direct shield while facing in other directions. It's a pretty good tool imo. 🎉

[@carljohansson3512]

A few things I know: In the Japanese manual the Master sword was forged to prevent an ancient evil from kidnapping the Triforce by divine command while in the American manual it was translated as "the Master sword was forged as an answer to Ganondorf obtaining the Triforce", the Japanese manual is more consistent with the later Master sword Lore in the series where the one that commanded the creation of the Master sword turned out to be Hylia while the ancient evil was the demon king known as the person/one/avatar of demise, TP established the ancient sages' role in the creation of the Master sword and while SS doesn't have the sages appear as part of the Master sword story their symbols appear on the island of Hylia and Sealed temple/temple of Hylia. We also learn that the sages and the knights of Hyrule didn't have enough time to find the Master sword or a hero due to Ganondorf's approaching miasma. The manual establishes that the human inhabitants of Hyrule are called Hyruleans but their ancestors who had a close connection to the gods and used magic were called Hylians because the blood of Hylians have faded over time. The pointy ears of Hylians symbolizes a connection to the gods. TP's Japanese text later showed that the Oocca are the ancestors of the Hylians(originally human in appearance) and creators of Hyrule kingdom(left the kingdom and their artifacts in the hands of their descendants when they decided to settle on their new sky city, in SS the name Hylian doesn't appear because the culture hadn't been born yet) and closer to the gods than the Hylians were. The Zonai are similar and likely also closer to the gods than the Hylians are. In Japanese the word used for wise men can also be translated to wise ones and sages. Ganondorf calls Agahnim his Bunshin in Japanese. The word has been used to describe Meg the poe sister's copies in OOT, Ciela in PH who is a bunshin of Oshus the ocean king and the Blight Ganons in BOTW who are bunshins of Calamity Ganon who is in turn a bunshin of TOTK’s Ganondorf, a manifestation/incarnation of his emotions and desires. Bunshin means split soul/part of oneself/other self/offshoot/copy/clone/alter-ego. In the battle with Agahnim at Hyrule castle when the priest of darkness is defeated a spirit of Ganondorf rises from his body. In Ancient stone tablets Agahnim is explained to have been someone who got possessed by a part of Ganondorf's soul, Ancient stone tablets takes place six years after ALTTP and Ganondorf's being in that game is sustained by his miasma/malice/evil energy after his body was sealed away, this likely means that a part of Ganondorf's soul left entered Hyrule alongside his miasma before the events of ALTTP. ALTTP and LA's Japanese manuals are the only times in the series where the word for Ganondorf's main title isn't Maō(king of evil or demon king), instead a word that translates to king of evil but not demon king is used. ALTTP is the first time the name of the demon tribe appears, during the encounter at Hyrule castle Agahnim says "so in the end even the legendary "hero" is no match for us of the demon tribe who hold the golden power". In the American localization tribe of evil/evil tribe is used instead of demon tribe. The demon tribe's name would later appear in TWW where Ganondorf says that his demon tribe and demon magic was sealed by the Master sword, the name appeared again in Skyward sword where Ghirahim and Demise's titles are chieftain of the demon tribe and Fi says that certain demons like the dark enemies(or blue bubbles in some games) can unleash the hatred/curse of the demon tribe, Demise also uses the name of the curse of the demon tribe which in the context of his speech is a descriptive curse that already exists(Three Buddhist poisons, a single lifeform, God, spirit or demon's eternal attachment to Saṃsāra, Saṃsāra itself, evil always existing in the world no matter what happens, no matter how many times it is overcome, the state of demons) and not a prescriptive curse. Demise was explaining the reality of the situation, every evil in the world is represents the curse of the demon tribe and anyone who has the same amount of malice in their heart as Demise had can become a demon king like him if they so desire. The name of the demon tribe has recently appeared in BOTW and TOTK. In some of these games the name of the demon tribe was removed by the American localization. ALTTP is the game that establishes that Ganondorf's demon beast form is a mirror reflection of his heart, soul and character just like how Link’s bunny form is a mirror reflection of the hero's pure heart or how other characters in the dark world were transformed into mirror reflections of their hearts. And because Ganondorf's original human form and full name was first established in ALTTP the name Ganon was established to be his nickname and the common name that is used to refer to him and his bunshins, realms and headquarters etc. ALTTP established Ganondorf's demon magic, his miasma entered Hyrule and caused disasters and made some people fall ill, this concept was reused in TOTK where a woman in Kakariko has fallen ill because of Ganondorf's miasma. ALTTP is the first time a demon villain in the series is associated with a great calamity. The one of demise is associated with a great calamity by Fi's prophecy in SS, other demon villains have caused disasters that can be described as calamities. The name of the seal war/imprisoning war can be used to describe similar events where a war lead to a seal upon a demon king like the war against the person of demise in SS's backstory or the war against Ganondorf in TWW's backstory for example. Other games like OOT have a conflict that can better be described as a seal/imprisoning battle. In ALTTP's manual Ganondorf slaughtered his own followers to get the Triforce for himself, Ganondorf also was balanced enough to obtain the entire Triforce without causing it to split apart. In the backstory Ganondorf couldn't figure out how to leave the Sacred realm because he stumbled upon it by accident. In the GBA version of ALTTP it is established that every Link is born from the knight's family/knight's clan, the two lumberjacks who live near the lost woods also know a sword technique meaning they too are members of the knight's family. Death mountain's name is a bit confusing in the Japanese version of ALTTP. In the light world it's called Hebra mountain while in the dark world it's called Death mountain. ALTTP touched showed the ultimate goals of the demon kings: Turn a world into a world of darkness/world of demons resembling the original demon world/hell and rule over it. Later games showed why villains like Ganondorf wants this:war, violence, greed, survival of the fittest, might makes right and no peace or harmony meaning less weaklings in the world in his eyes. ALTTP was the game that introduced eye symbols but the eye symbol in ALTTP represents the demon tribe, some fans have called it the evil eye/the unblinking eye of malice/the demon tribe eye. This eye symbol appears on Agahnim's robe and outside Hyrule castle's tower(if I'm not wrong it also appear outside Agahnim's boss arenas). This eye symbol has made appearances in later games in the series:The palace of twilight's throne, a variation in Ganondorf's tower(TWW), temple of the ocean king(PH), Some of Cole's traps in ST, a variation on Veran's clothes(OOA), Vaati's demon god/devil forms is basically a physical version of the eye symbol, in AOC Astor has the eye symbol on his circlet and Sooga has it on his swords, some villains, enemies and bosses like Majora/Majora's mask temple bosses(3DS), Ganondorf in OOT, BOTW and TOTK(plus bosses in TOTK) have eyes that are the type of eyes the eye symbol represents. The Sheikah eye(which represents truth and knowledge) in BOTW is used in Kakariko village to ward off evil. Moldorm and big Moldorm aren't called Moldorm in Japanese but are instead called Tail and Big tail(there are a few different tail enemies in the series like the sky tail in SS), this is the reason why tail cave in LA has it's name. Swamola is an enemy in the dark world which in Japanese is called Moldorm, this enemy resembles Twinmold in MM. Ancient stone tablets is a less known sequel to ALTTP that was developed for the Satellaview, episodes of the game were broadcast in Japan a few times during 1997 and 1998 so not many people got to play it but some fans have managed to translate the game and make it playable in the west. Ancient stone tablets features a playable character who isn't Link, this character is an avatar that represent the player more than Link. If magic powder is sprinkled on one of the Cukemen they will tell the player that Link can't leave the dream(a reference to Link’s awakening which according to AST takes place around the same time, six years after ALTTP). AST was included in a movie chronicling every mainline game from Zelda 1 to The wind waker. AST has a bit of lore that can explain a few things in the oracle games and ALBW and while the Zelda team hasn't talked about it for years there is no reason for why it can't be considered a canon prequel to ALBW and a sequel to ALTTP. The final word on the timeline has after all been left to the player's imagination and not every part of the timeline is set in stone (like some of the official timeline's placements that aren't suggested by the games or contradicts the games), both the Zelda devs and the writers of HH and HE have tried to emphasize that the official timeline is not the be all end all of Zelda canon and don't want people to only use it. What the games say is more important but there are some stuff from the books and the official timeline that can be used for a timeline theory. It's just that they aren't gospel, only interpretations that could possibly or possibly not be correct so there are always things that can be questioned.

[@triforcetimes]

this is epic, thank you for this

[@carljohansson3512]

Extra bit about the titles of Ganondorf: Ganondorf is called a demon king and a demon king of darkness in ALTTP, in FSA he is called a king of darkness and calls himself a demon king of darkness but because he was operating from the shadows most characters use a generic Japanese male pronoun to describe him, in the Oracles he is both called demon king of darkness and a Daimaō(Great demon king or Great king of evil, a title that is also used for Ganondorf's OOT/TWW/TP/PH iteration, in TWW he is called the emperor of hell/the demon world while PH's prologue calls him Great demon king, in TP demon thief is used to describe Ganondorf before he became a Great demon king because of his use of dark magic/demon magic), in ALBW Great demon king is used as Ganondorf's title while in the backstory he's called a notorious thief.

Ffs I ain't reading all that.

[@deldante]

Ok so In 1998 we were like 8 years old and we were stuck in the Gannon fight. The game was in English and we spoke only Spanish so we never knew about the silver arrows. We tried fighting Ganon in many different ways but we could never beat him. One day my brother tells me that him and my cousin found something new. They said during the Gannon fight when they fell down, they saw 4 more links in different colors fall down that pit in the middle. So they were convinced we needed to go down there. I never believed them but they were convinced they saw multiple links. Years later when we got the GBA version and went into the palace of the four swords, my brother said that's what him and my cousin saw on the SNES version those many years ago.

[@taemien9219]

I'm surprised many of these videos about LttP with the emphasis on facts you may not know are usually things found in Nintendo Power or other magazine articles. And not some more obscure things such as tricks like 'Fake Flippers' where if you jump into the water without flippers and immediately swim forward to a screen transition you can continue swimming. This allows you to get the bottle from the hobo before getting flippers. And can only be done on the Japanese version of the game (as it was patched out of the English one). Also if you are in the Dark World without the Moon Pearl and enter a building on the frame you get struck by an enemy or use the mirror (but enter the building before the mirror transports you) you will be able to use your sword, items, and open chests, which you can't normally do as a bunny. Can also dash with the hammer (other items work too) by pressing Y + A at the same time. This lets you hammer the stake puzzle really quickly by simply dashing through rows and they get knocked down as Link runs through them. This one also requires the Japanese version. Quite a few other things like this, but these are the ones I can reliably do myself.

[@triforcetimes]

Yeah great 👍

[@markmedlen9248]

The only thing I think you missed is the house in the very southwest of Kakariko Village. If you bomb it in the middle it opens up. You can used it repeatedly the whole game to get bombs and arrows. Also I still believe A Link to the Past is the best because it was way ahead of it's time when it was made.

[@triforcetimes]

you are right, I forgot that house. Thanks for the add. Yeah, ALTTP is my fav zelda game among many greats

[@lehiboo]

One of my favorite ones (with Wind Waker and BOTW)

[@triforcetimes]

Oh same

[@HarmonicWave]

How could you mention the origin of many pieces of amazing music and not mention the Kakariko village theme. This was the first game with Kakariko village and still has the best version of it's musical theme.

[@triforcetimes]

naming all the music tracks wasn't the focus here, I mentioned the ones that stuck in my memory

[@MartKart8]

Wait, I'm confused I remember you did this video before, I thought the next one would be The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening, Facts such as how a lot of Mario characters appear in that game, first appearance of a talking owl, in the original everytime Link bumped into certain rocks dialogue appeared , until the remake which got rid of the annoying text. Marin playing the crane game was a good one.

You should’ve shown the Fish 🎣 to Bottle 🫙 Merchant in Kakriko village screenshot as well!!

Still great commentary , watch Andy L for Zelda Lttp Randomizer videos with the community to learn really cool stuff you & others may have missed , yet mostly for speed running & entertainment fun :)

[@triforcetimes]

unfortunately I couldn't show that one - I couldn't find a way to get the fish to respawn:(

[@TyphinHoofbun]

You can also sell a Gold Bee to the same merchant (though it likes to go after the Weathervane if you haven't activated the flute, so release the bee while standing further to the left and recapture it if it goes after the statue) and he'll drop 5x Red Rupees. Since you can always go back to the Ice Rod Cave right side for another Gold Bee, you can farm money that way. Especially with the flute, since spot 8 will drop you off right in that corner of the map and spot 3 takes you back to town.

[@neoanimefreak_7606]

There is still a lot of debate around whether or not the Chris Houlihan Room was named after a Nintendo Power contest winner, as there hasn't been any definitive evidence to support this. Until then, it's just an urban legend.

We can thank Zelda 2 for this. Because part 2 was such a let down and looked at like a complete pos by Nintendo, they swung the pendulum back in the opposite direction and way over compensated by making this masterpiece. So thanks, Zelda 2.
