actually its the hardware limitations that force you think outside of the box and this results in classic games being born... modern gaming lacks this the game designers have been spoiled with good hardware...

Link's Awakening was so colorful and care-free that one developer also included a fishing mini game just for fun; also it was partly inspired by the surreal Twin Peaks... the duality of man

In the original version you can use the screen skip trick to warp the fisherman into the tree to the south of him and then "go fishing" it will take you to broken glitch world with invisible broken pathways to any place in the game as well as inaccessible areas. However if you didnt leave this "glitch world" in specific way you would be stuck there wandering in broken pixels and horrid glitch amalgam enemies and solid floor tiles that you can swim through or fall through.

The fact that Gold and Silver had a very obscure anti-cheat, means that Nintendo was well aware of people who exploit the trading features of the mainline games as well as the glitches found in the first generation of games, so Clair is effectively self aware of the glitchy reality she resides in. When triggering this anti-cheat, the game effectively has banned you from finishing the game.

That's not the only one. If you use a GameShark code to get all the badges before you actually beat the gyms, there's a guy in Mahogany Town who sells RageCandyBar who blocks the east exit to Route 44 and normally leaves once you got the seventh badge (Pryce's Glacier Badge)...yeah, you hack the badges in, HE WILL NOT LEAVE. EVER. You're screwed and have to basically start the entire game over. Unlike Clair, this guy won't call you out for cheating...he just keeps doing his normal thing of pestering you to buy the candy and won't leave even after beating Pryce. Same for Crystal, too. So Nintendo was probably also aware of the fact that people were using cheat devices, which they were adamantly against to the bitter end.

The original Link's Awakening and a gameboy pocket were my first gaming experience. I was so young that I hadn't learned to read yet, so I had to have my parents read the text to me. Some of the best music in videogames

Here lately I have been too busy to actually really get into any gaming but getting deep dives into games that I grew up with definitely scratches that itch, thanks for the videos!

Oh man. I got me a Gameboy pocket one year for Christmas and I've loved playing videogames (preferably portable games I can take anywhere) it's great. I think I'll play some right now!!

I just love How links awakening was just a simply class like project and when done it literally was beloved by all

I remember seeing DYKG YEARS ago but never really watched their videos until recently, now I have a backlog of content to watch. Very nice

Link's awakening was my first game ever. Sweet nostalgia.

Relaxing narration on top of classic game tracks is why DYKG videos are top tier. It's video game ASMR and I love it.

Those long videos were my favorite ones during the pandemic sleepless nights

Opposed to the “it was overhyped and not that dangerous” nights?

I still got my Gameboy Color and Link's Awakening DX. That game holds up so well, I still play it whenever the nostalgia kicks in

The gameboy was a huge portion of my childhood. We didn’t have a lot of money so the gameboy was my main video game console, also living in a rural area I had a lot of commuting I did with my family to go anywhere so the gameboy was everything to me.

Thanks for these long play facts. It's so fun to listen to at work!

Can’t believe they missed the chance to call the Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls into “For Whom the Bell Toads”

Going into my driving playlist right away! Love the compilations!

The Zelda train ride sounds amazing! Especially since they were playing my favorite Zelda game!

Thanks DYKG. I love falling asleep to these.

Damn, I didn't know that the Pokemon Trading Card Game for gameboy had a sequel. I actually really liked that game, so a sequel would have been right up my alley.

If only you knew about the translation of Link's Awakening for the German release. Boy, they were special in some parts.

These videos always make my day! Thank you guys! You guys are great!

Always love to see fun facts about games I grew up with, like GSC and the Oracle games.

Link's Awakening is still my favorite Zelda game of all time. Such a good original story

Link's Awakening is one of my favorite games of all time, and I always love learning more about how it came to be

I never had a OG game boy but I had a game boy advance sp and I miss that thing like crazy. Probably some of the most fun I’ve had gaming was on long road trips on that thing playing Shrek 2, Donkey Kong, and Pokémon.

Thanks for mentioning before that this show is available as podcast as well. I am listening on my way to work and back and it is great.

The hour just flew by.

I welcome the switch to more longform and indepth videos. I think preserving videogame history and talking to devs while it's still relatively easy is super important. Even more so as games with mandatory online components become the norm. One fascinating video I recently watched was about restoring the online hub in MHTri after Nintendo shutdown the servers. Things like these are at risk of being lost to time.

This video came first for 3 nights in a row after picking shuffle on the dykg 1 hour playlist. Neat.

Makes me happy hearing how Link's Awakening influenced Ocarina of Time, such a good game and it being on the GameBoy makes it easy to think that it wasn't all that pivotal or important to the franchise.

The gameboy color was my first ever console (N64 came maybe a month after) and it will forever be nostalgic for me lol. Love these vids

The games pictured in the thumbnail are literally my 3 favorite Gameboy games of all time, well done.

the gameboy was always a great console, i remember playing games like pokemon and mario all the time

One of the first few GB games that I've played was Bomber King. I didn't know back then that it was part of the Bomberman series.

The original Game Boy blew my mind when it came out. Got one in 1990. Also wished to get a Sega Game Gear, but that never happened.

Best handheld of all time, great video, keep it up! 😁

The Game Boy has such an amazing line up of games that people barely bring up, and that's a shame. I really hope whenever we get GB games on NSO more people will be able to discover the gems on this console.

I loved using the palette-swap function on the Game Boy Color/Advance, as a kid.

Oh man I loved the Pokémon trading card game. Wish we had a modern version

I believe it is possible to transfer between the first GameBoy and a newer GameBoy idk which one I think it's the adcanced one now through a mod a KZreadr made recently

Hahahah I live 10 minutes away from Irvine... I love that the college was subtitled as University of California, Irvina. Love your guys' content. Thanks for the videos!!

19:26 Can you imagine the people who actually had Mission Impossible *and* Robopon? Robopon had a sensor that could receive remote control signals to unlock chests and to power up Robopon. And Mission Impossible could send remote control signals. There's probably a handful of people in the world who actually used those two functions together.

Out of this entire hour of video, the most memorable moment was the narrator mispronouncing 2002 as “Two thousand thoo”. 44:00

8:12 also bonus fun fact...that I learned from DYKG, the ability to make your own dungeons was something planned for the original Zelda on Nes, (I think you might also mention it in the mario maker video?) anyway... it's cool to see they finally added that feature... albiet 20 or so years late

I feel like yelling that narartor, for building up the drama for the guy sleeping in his bunk. It felt lke when michael scott hit meredith and said "Meredith was hit by a car. It happened this morning in the parking lot. I took her to the hospital and the doctors tried to save her life. They did the best that they could" and oscaar says "What is wrong with you? Why did you have to phrase it like that?"

Dispite it's shortcomings, the Gameboy was my favorite handheld system. Maybe it could just be the nostalgia since it was my first handheld system.

Conker's pocket tales also shows the GBC animations when played in the Super Gameboy, GBA, and GCN GBA Player.

I love the irony of having hour long videos in a channel originally meant for shorter videos

Dude...told to get on a train, travel across this beautiful country of ours, and while I'm at it try to complete Links Awakening on my own GB ? Sign me up!

I did not know that David Lynch was an indirect influence on Link’s Awakening. That explains a lot. I wrote a small book for an art class at age 12 mostly inspired by Link’s Awakening and later I was getting into the surrealism of Lynch, like Lost Highways and the music in that.

Played a bunch of tetris on gb, I like that they added the theme to tetris 99

DYKG Clips is the best!!

I was genuinely surprised at how few RPGs were on the Gameboy. I would've thought that they would probably have some of the most titles of the entire library, but I've only been able to find 2-3 good titles. Maybe I'm just underappreciative.

19:55 There was an episode of Wheel of Fortune where the answer was "Shitpiss"??? What the...

Do you have any plans to do a video about the second Japan-only Pokedex Book that was made for Gold & Silver, similar to how you did for the first? Anyway, excited to watch this great analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

It's funny that Universal went from suing Nintendo for thinking they infringed their rights over King Kong to making a Donkey Kong land in their amusement parks.

The Gameboy's amazing.

my workout music is just dykg videos

"Pika's Prey" It's Pik-Asprey. Asprey is his last name.

I always sleep to these it’s like AVGN did game facts lol

21:47 I would expect DYKG of all channels to know that that's not just any knockoff Lego, but Nintendo's own N&B blocks from 1968 when they were a toy manufacturer. I suppose though that they aren't quite as well known as something like the Ultra Hand or the original projector version of Duck Hunt though.

"If people like this idea of arranging dungeons, we'll keep it in mind." Aww, crud! LAS's dungeon maker was garbage though. I really hope they make a full game of it someday anyway. 🙏

Man i enjoy the handheld games a lot thanks to their portable of it heck every game generation didnt matter which system I got i always have a Nintendo handheld with me

Man, I would've LOVED a Pokémon TCG video game! 😍

In anticipation for Metroid Dread, I played through every Metroid game (excluding pinball). I was quite shocked by how much Metroid 2 (GB) improved on the first Metroid (NES). The Game Boy was quite the little beast.

lol there is no timeline Miyamoto said they are not connected and more or less the same story being told in different universes

46:00 that is hilarious. Love that game and would of never known lol

Really wish the IR sensor was used in more GBC games...

Sometimes, these days, I forget that Egoraptor actually has a decent voice and can talk like a real human.

39:45 Yes and no. "Gerbera" is more likely a reference to the _GP04G Gerbera_ in keeping with the theme of the four RX-78 GP series Gundam units, though you're still _technically correct_ because Anaheim never completed Unit 04 as a Gundam, instead refitting it as the _AGX-04 Gerbera Tetra_ and giving it to the Zeon remnants of Cima Garahau's fleet where it became her personal mobile suit. *[Adjusts glasses]*

if i had to guess, the secret jelly fish room in the Spongebob game was meant to be some sort of rhythm minigame

Ya know, I love emulation, flash carts, etc. Essentially, any way that lets me play roms. For multiple reasons of course. I love the ease and convenience of having all of my games in a big list that I can just pick and play. I can also play games that I missed out on. AND, the biggest reason, being able to play games from other regions. For example, Pokemon Trading Card Game 2. There's a whole english translation you can find online. I can play that english translation on my actual Game Boy Color or even GBA (or any number emulation devices). I played the hell out of the original Pokemon TCG on GBC, and being able to play the Japan-exclusive sequel is amazing. And over the years, I've managed to play so many non-english games, in english, that I'd otherwise never get to play. Even more recently, playing Monster Hunter 2 on PS2. The Game Boy line of consoles are probably my favorite games to play, ever. Through emulation or real consoles, I can play pretty much anything from old MS Dos and Atari 2600, up to Xbox Series S/X games. Yet I go back to Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance more than anything else. I have flash carts to play on a real handheld, I have a handheld emulation console, and I have emulators on my Xbox. I play Game Boy more than I play my actual modern Xbox games.

I think I find the fact that developers don't like glitches is really interesting, since most people I know find them fascinating

one hour of Zelda facts is the perfect background video to trying to sleep to insomnia, although maybe the fact that I'm posting this at 02:48 am might be a contradiction lol

I have to agree, but honestly the music always left me a bit disappointed, except a few tracks. Like the theme while in Wario's Castle? Perfection. Just, the whole, *mostly silence, add some squeaks* songs I really didn't enjoy.

The reason for the success of the Game Boy is honestly in part the same reason that indy games see success. It honestly doesn't matter how good the graphics are. What matters most is how fun the games are to play. That should always be what matters most.

8:25. "We'll keep that in mind going forward." That's such a powerful courtesy and the Zelda franchise has continued to shine. Not perfect, but certainly coming into it's prime. That's the difference between Zelda games and the contemporary Pokemon main series experiences. When fans make an uproar about something, they listen, and if nothing else, they take it seriously for future game developments. I want great pokemon games back with all the love, sweat, and tears they used to bring with them. If they just had more of that kind of attitude we'd have better games too.
