Zelda: Ocarina of Time WITH LYRICS feat. Dave Bulmer - Brentalfloss

[@quotastrider801]

This is the kind of song you suddenly remember every few years and can still recite it by heart

[@fifthace2247]

Actually, 6:32-6:49 is still Gerudo Valley.

[@billny33]

Really? I couldn't place it. It seemed like they cut out some big pieces of the Gerudo Valley melody and also used a slowed down version of it so their confrontation setup/lyrics would work, by the end I couldn't recognize it as that at all.

Revisiting this song after I’ve been thinking about it for days and forgetting to watch. I can’t believe this isn’t more popular. This is my absolute favorite thing Brent has made, and most of the time I absolutely love anything Brent does with Dave. This was beautifully written and composed and I can see all of the work that went into this. All of the editing, training, writing, blocking, everything is so beautifully done. It breaks my heart that he hasn’t posted something (or given an update if he is) like this since this song. I wish there were more people like Brent here online.

The collaborations with Dave are always the best. Super Mario Land is my other favorite. They make such a great duo.

[@Kandragonicus]

No matter how many times I listen to this song, it remains an inspiration. I get chills at the end. "You're Wrooooooong" "So even though" "so whaaaaat" "you're wrong I know" "we'll get aloooong" "we'll still be friends" "Whatever you think about ooooocarina of time!" A message everyone needs to hear and counterpoint that still nearly makes my heart stop.

[@Pcuspy]

Honestly this video is one of the best videos on KZbin. Conveying two different sides of the argument and the issues with each. Brent and Dave both have good points, but they're burried by blander issues that don't take a presence. Dave doesn't listen as he's wearing his rose-tinted nostalgia glasses, yet Brent is trying to compare two games in two completely different genres, Super Mario 64 and OOT, which eventually delves into a standard KZbin comment arguement, as Dave has a hard time explaining why he likes the game so much, saying the experience of it, and Brent hates the change, of his own nostalgia. Brilliant video.

[@pinballforlife7948]

actually he compared a topic that can be shared with all games despite genre now if he had said 64 was a better game over all then yeah but he said that 64 handled graphics better which is true

[@UltraLuigi2401]

I'm pretty sure that them not really giving good points is part of the point, they were trying to exaggerate how most arguments on the internet are like.

[@pinballforlife7948]

UltraLuigi well yeah but my point was graphics go beyond genres

[@virtal7348]

If you hack the camera in Oot you'll see that the 3d space is just a giant green room with the characters running around. The graphics you see in game are imposed onto the room. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fobKdmyCbLtnpbs

[@spongehead93]

As someone in the "Ocarina is overrated but still a good game" camp, this was good to see. I do wish Brent would've actually finished the game before having this kind of argument, though.

[@brentalfloss]

Think of this video as a parable rather than a thing that actually happened :)

[@spongehead93]

First, ERMAGURD, BRENTALFLOSS REPLIED TO ONE OF MY COMMENTS! Second, okay, that's a fair.

[@spongehead93]

'98, and fuck you too.

[@IceMaverick13]

DeckardPAIN But spongehead's point is actually valid and true? People act like Ocarina was the be-all-end-all of Zelda games and nothing would ever surpass it. It's a damn good Zelda game, but it's not like it's as orgasmicly great as so many people make it seem. People just have their 3 pairs of nostalgia goggles strapped on too tightly.

[@spongehead93]

Exactly. As someone who came back to Ocarina about ten years after it's release, I will say that it is a thoroughly enjoyable game without nostalgia, just not best game ever material.

[@nimnim4699]

Yall marked my childhood forever with this song. I love you. My little brother and I know it almost by heart, and we sing it in the car still to this day. I sing Dave's, and my brother sings Brent's.

I just found this a couple of weeks ago, and I gotta admit, I don't think I've gone a day without watching it since. Just so well done -- the lyrical banter between you and Dave is top notch, I've never seen an argument set so well to music, especially provided that the background a capella is so crisp and clean, and makes your voices pop out gorgeously! The blue notes are tactically positioned and the transitions between songs are seamless. Probably my favorite work on your channel Brent, cheers to you and Dave both. This and Mario Land are my favorites, I hope to keep on hearing such awesome duets from you two in the future.

Gotta ask: Brent, do you actually not like ocarina or was the hate just for the video? Great song either way! Love the argumentation!!

[@MooseEatsBears]

He's mentioned he's not a huge fan of OoT, but he doesn't actively dislike it, and that the goal of the video was to overplay both sides of the argument to the extreme.

[@threepunch5702]

Thanks! Since I’ve gotten older I’ve begun to realize the true satire of this song and how it makes fun of extremists

[@jacobhero1577]

@@threepunch5702 extremists in every way suck

[@frozenaorta]

I also prefer Link to the Past. Ocarina felt like a rehash of the same story with just the worst early 3D graphics and awkward controls. LttP reigns supreme.

[@daveharrington1393]

I'll always prefer LttP. Everytime I try to play through Ocarina I just get board. Thought it was just me until this song. Lol.

[@Fludd-Stop]

Dave's part at 1:40 is still so freaking magnificent. Incredibly pleasing to listen to for one, but also a genuinely great way of explaining what made Ocarina of Time so revolutionary and memorable, so freaking good!

[@rubikthegeek2138]

"You're the missing Link to the past!" OHHH SHEEEITTT

[@mixolydian45]

I don't know how many dozens of times I have watched this video and it never occurred to me until now to actually read the tweets at the beginning. The amount of detail that went into those is amazing!

[@shadow759]

A great song on telling people to like what you like and not follow everyone else.

[@DoctorTalon]

The overlapping duet is so Jean Valjean vs Javert and I loved that part so, so much! I keep coming back because I love this song so much!

[@montseyc3888]

God, this is such a nostalgia blast. The harmonies and acapellas are just so well done, and my favorite part even after all these years has to be 8:51, where y’all break into melody/counter-melody and it’s just UGH! So good!

[@K0DeX]

The vocal work in this entire thing is incredible. Amazing arrangement guys. Amazing.

[@Vospader21]

I love the les mis reference to the end.

[@PROTurkGaming]

i watched les mis but i cant really see a reference...?

[@williamdelargy5455]

Trymphus it’s the confrontation right after fantine dies Dave is Valjean and Brent is Javert

[@PROTurkGaming]

Ohhh thanks

[@rollingthunder1043]

Indeed. It's not a direct reference, but the melody of that part is almost (if not exactly) the same as part of the song "Confrontation", and the line where Dave sings "This is just nostalgia now/You just weren't the proper age/Nintendo Power scored it high/its pace was taut, yet fun!" very closely mirrors Valjean's lines "I am warning you, Javert/I'm a stronger man by far/There is power in me yet/My race is not yet run!"

[@SquishyPixelz]

Omg I just noticed that. This is amazing

[@thewillster18]

Honestly I could hear this for 24 hours straight and still not get sick of it. Honestly one of my favorite songs of all time! You two were wonderful on this!

[@devoncerda9684]

I saw this when it originally came out. Now, almost 3 some years later, I look back at it and think that this is still a kick-ass song. Seriously. Major kudos to these two. They rock, roll, and then some.

[@VengefulKBM]

Still watching this all the time over half a year later... and I have to mention, I can't get enough of Dave's perfect Colm Wilkinson yelps in the "Confrontation" section. They're so perfectly done.

[@Psionic_Pootis]

Wow. I was 10 years old when I first listened to this song as it came out, little did I know back then that this video along with your other musical videos would shape my future. There are some things about this video that I didn't really notice when I first heard it. First off: The acapella is really good and very nice to listen to, I much prefer it over if there were actual instruments. Second of the writing of the lyrics is just genius! Especially with tying together the " Stop before you say something you might regret " near the end of the song. Yeah i'm aware that i'm writing this comment almost 7 years after the video came out but I feel like I just had to say that. It will be this videos 7th anniversary 9 days after I write this comment.

[@thogameskanaal]

I always come back to this video when I'm feeling down. It's a great symbol of how a different perspective can influence your view on something. I used to enjoy games like Dave. All the wacky and colorful elements in a game sort of sucked me in and made me feel like I was in the game. When I got older and the world started to ask more of me, I started to suppress that magical feeling and look at thing much more objectively. Games I once enjoyed started to feel dated and clunky, and I started to notice the flaws and imperfections in both modern and classic games, making it much harder to enjoy my time with them. Which is weird, because these games were designed with fun and accessibility in mind. How I was once like Dave, I started to become more like the character Brent plays in this video. The world becomes a dark place when you can't enjoy living it. It's really important to remind yourself it doesn't have to be like that. Take it easy, relax, and enjoy the things you like to do during your down time. I will never stop playing this video over and over again. It is a reminder that a foul mood is all just in your head, and that the world doesn't end just because you have a bad day/week/month/whatever…

[@nidmight]

Please don't tell me that I am the only one who has this song memorized word for word.

[@nickthestick26]

I'm not very far off lol

[@WilliamSteelheart]

The REAL trick is finding someone else to sing with who knows it just as well. It kinda demands a duet, especially at the end. XD

[@Kuronosa]

Back when I was a dishwasher at a dining hall for a university, I would sing this all the time, because I loved it so much, and it would pass the time.

[@travishyman4629]

Coming back 8 years later to ask… did you guys take inspiration from “The Confrontation” scene from Les Misérables? Because your dueling verses is so comparable. Love the tension all surrounding one great game. Hope you guys are doing well all this time later!

[@rachaelbrown3656]

Honestly this video is unironically genius. The actual morals, the mirroring of Dave’s drawing and Brent’s against when they played the game (Brent as an adult, Dave as a kid). The acapella is gorgeous! Man it’s been so long but this is still a favourite of mines :’)

[@Valor6]

I still love the line 'Fandom starts with love'! So incredibly wholesome and explains why some people can be hurt when someone insults something they enjoy! No excuse to flame and troll, but there really is genuine affection toward these games!

[@moop15]

The segment with Brent and Dave singing their own very different verses simultaneously over the same track is my single favorite piece of Brentalfloss musical wizardry. I can't get enough of it. I know something similar was done in the Ballad of the Mages, and I wish he'd do more like these now that he's back in action. :D

When this song first came out back in 2014, I was in the 3rd grade and I can safely say that listening to this helped solidify my love for Zelda. Not only because it was about the series itself, but also due to how it gave me insight into how passionate other people were about the series in my early days on the internet. I would listen to it every morning before classes, and 8 years later, as I graduate high school, I find myself drawn back to it for those same exact reasons. Keep on keepin' on Brent!
