RE-UPLOAD ALERT: Hi friends! This is a compilation of the entire Dungeon Design in Zelda series for OOT. So, yeah you may have seen this stuff before. The first episode of this series was uploaded 3 years ago on Jan 8th 2021! Time has sure flown by. It is fascinating seeing how far my video making skills have progressed since then. My voice work, writing, editing, all of it feels so much less refined here, unfocused by my standards today. Yet, I still feel like the meaning behind my scripts holds up well enough, even if I wasn't as good at articulating those thoughts. But hey, I'm not here to dunk on my own work! I often have people tell me that they like long form content and binge these videos, so I figured putting them all into one long video would be worthwhile. Enjoyyyy! I appreciate you.

@@CaptBurgerson in this current era of Devs remaking old classics, I'd love to see Nintendo re make OOT. Have a similar art style to the original. Incorporate some of the design changes made by the randomiser team like iron boots on the d pad or ocarina. Ultimately make the game they envisioned then but couldn't due to the limitations in the N64. They could do a double release and also do the same for Majora's mask. Also don't forget there was the cancelled Zelda Ura expansion for oot. It's not confirmed if master quest mode and ura are one in the same.

I'm definitely an oddball when I say I actually loved the intro to Twilight Princess, it was a good way to get you to care about the characters and grounds itself a lot more with its lived-in setting, I felt the game was heavily more narrative driven and it takes more of a slow burn start then just plopping you in, and the impact makes a difference, it wouldn't have worked for TP in any other way. After getting Saria's song I completely forgot about her and the rest of the kokiri brats until the endng, but the Ordon villagers I actually remember and had a purpose to wanting to save the kids, they were my friends and neighbors in a way, I spent real time with them, and then it kicks off the rest of that adventure perfectly.

I reject the idea that games *necessarily* have to be designed for ultimate replayability. I agree with OP in that the intro to TP sets up the narrative beautifully and organically. You get this slice of Link's life and the serenity of this little town, and the outrage of that being disrupted makes the call to adventure that much more potent. Link doesnt leave because he's "the chosen one", he has to leave because his friends have been captured by monsters. Much more immediately meaningful and relatable. PLUS without the intro, you wouldnt get the payoff of the best sequence in any video game ever: when timid little Colin saves his friend by throwing himself into danger, and Link comes in PISSED AS FUCK to save him. That shit had me INVESTED as a kid, and still does al these years later

The fact it's already dry shows that everything link did as a child has already happened, including when he time traveled back to the botw and gerudo desert. Interestingly, zelda's memory of seeing you when ganondorf chased them can be altered slightly depending on which shield you last wore (or didn't) as a child. Not what you had equipped in real time at the time. I don't know if this was due to limitation or for narrative/character reasons that her memory can be affected like that. So you can effectively have 3 variations of that same encounter with ganondorf. The dream (future), real time encounter (present), zelda's memory of it (past).

I was 7 when this game came out and was one of the first "proper" games I played. I remember being so scared of Gohma my dad had to do the fight for me 😅 Now 26 years later I still love Ocarina of Time (and all the Zelda series) and credit it for instilling my love of games

I think part of what makes Ocarina so memorable, in addition to the beautiful graphics (for the time), story, characters, etc. Is the *music* Ocarina was the first Zelda title not only in 3D, but it made music an integral part of the experience, a trend that continues to. this. day. Seriously, everything in this game has a soundtrack of its own, every new location, every boss fight, ambient background music, even opening chests, everything has its own musical touch, and that's before you even talk about the Ocarina tunes. Everyone has their favorite tunes, The menu music as the logo appears, Zelda's Lullaby, The unsettling mania of the Forest Temple, Saria's Song, even the legendary "Song of Time" itself. Music made this game memorable for so many, and Nintendo hasn't forgotten that.

Yeah I noticed this as well when watching a new player play the game. You literally have to do Bottom of the Well first, which points you straight back to the Shadow Temple. Admittedly, though, you can do Bottom of the Well as soon as you beat the Forest Temple anyway, get the Lens of Truth, then do the Spirit Temple once you have the Longshot and Megaton Hammer. Hover Boots are very helpful in the Spirit Temple but aren't required. (It makes defeating Twinrova much easier and several areas in Spirit Temple have long gaps designed for using the Hover Boots on). I think it also makes more sense it was intended to be last because its split into child/adult sections. Bottom of the Well arguably counts for Shadow Temple, but in that case its a separate dungeon and you can do it long before entering the dungeon, whereas you cannot do the child Spirit Temple without first competing Gerudo Fortress and reaching the Temple as an adult.

My favourite series on KZread of all time

I am so glad you mentioned the different fire temple chants. The original one was awesome

im surprised he didnt go over the Dead Hand trick for adult which is to use the lens of truth to see where he is hiding in the room. you can then use a bomb to get dead hand to come out of the ground without being grappled.

There are many retrospectives I've watched about this game. I love watching them because it's like hanging out with a friend reliving or talking about those first experiences playing through OoT. The way you've talked through the whole game is the best of them all. Really like vibing through the nostalgia together. It made me feel great, thanks man.

I FULLY appreciate this compilation, it was actually recommended to me and I’ve not seen any of these videos before. It’s almost like a sort of guide too, and I’ve learned all sorts of new things in the compilation which is MIND boggling 20+ years later. Thank you for doing these videos and making this total compilation. Thank you for recognizing the different versions too, and I LOVED this video! Never skipped any part :) a great listen! Thank you!!!!

1:23:19 3 bottles makes this easy enough. That's how many you get as a kid & they're much easier to get than the one you get as an adult.

Ive never appreciated how atmospheric the bosses first encounters are, in a lot of them you as the player have to do something first to trigger them, like looking up to ghoma's eye, getting grabbed by the creepy hands in the bottom of the well or passig by the tree before shadow Link. I really accentuates the combat that is about to come, unlike totk or TP where you just enter a room and a cutscene plays automatically

This is an incredibly well produced video. The blend of personal stories without the typical overuse of "factual" regurgitated points made it an entertaining breeze to watch. Well done!

It was a very wise choice to finish up this series and then compile a long video. You know how much people love long videos about nostalgic/comforting things, me included! Thanks!

I unironically love the Water Temple because unlike the other Temples, its challenge of trial and error made it memorable for me as a child. I remember because me and my buddy refused to look up gameFAQs or walkthroughs and tried to figure it out on our own and it honestly was rewarding. We also took each section one at a time and navigated it that way. Plus the music is heavenly.

The best thing I can say about Kaepora Gaebora is at least they gave him a banger theme song 😂

I can remember a few iconic rooms visually but like none of the puzzles.

My dude, even after 25 years of playing OoT over and over again and even when not playing it then watching speedruns of it - this was a great and entertaining video to watch! And also I'm pretty sure (and shocked about that fact tbh) that I never in 1X playthroughs noticed that "water temply" platform you mentioned in the (I think) shadow temple. Need to rewatch this and to find that on my very own next run. :) However, you got a great way of narrating things and convey a great deal of personality with your narration.

Thanks for the fresh take on the Ice Caverns and Water Temple. By far and away my favorite part of the game, even back then. I love how methodical you have to be to clear it, and as a child playing it back in '98, it was just so full of mystery. Nowadays I play it with three goals: Never use the Water Tunic: Only use two cycles of water level changes, and ALWAYS have the keys needed for each locked door (although on my last playthrough I screwed up exactly where you cast Farore's Wind, so that got a chuckle out of me). I just love it. The ambiance is second to none, and the whole reason I am replaying the game was specifically for that temple.

Fun Dark Link tip: You can actually beat him consistently with only the Master Sword, using a specific combo. Quickspin to make him back off, then while he's approaching start a reverse horizontal combo (hold right and B). Time the finisher so it lands *just* as Dark Link gets into range and you should be able to get around his shield every time. The timing is a little tricky, but it's completely consistent in my experience. Awesome video, by the way! Love seeing dungeon breakdowns of Zelda, and appreciate you including the lore angle as well!

I had to wait 4 months to be mentally ready for this. this video is the EXACT stuff that my mind loves thinking about waaaay to much, especially about these games

I never would have watched this if January 2024 hadn't turned out to be a month of intense catharsis via Ship of Harkinian Randomizer runs. I've now beaten 15 full item shuffle randos and it's forced me to think so far outside of the original scope of the game. Beating Fire Temple with a spare key because I already had hover boots, beating Phantom Ganon without a sword and only a bottle to reflect the projectiles, doing most of the Water Temple without a Zora Tunic, etc etc. Dang did it remind me how important this game was to me as a kid and this video compilation hits the mark SO EFFING HARD that I easily binged the whole thing while getting the final checks needed to complete Ganon's Castle in my latest, 15th, run.

Saria was killed by phantom Gannon, daruna was eaten by volvega, Ruto was killed by the water thing, impa was killed by bongo bongo and naboru was killed by twinrova.

The game nails it on every front, where as most Zelda games can be considered amazing in most places, but have one or two weak spots, OoT delivers on every possible accord. As far as dungeon design goes, Id say its definitely at the top, although i would say that the dungeons in Twilight Princess are perhaps a bit better. The problem TP had like you mentioned, was everything around those dungeons. Like i said, it excels in one spot (Dungeons) but is weak in others, dragging the experience down. OoT never drags in any moment. It is a masterpiece

Thank you so so much for this video!! I grew up with OoT 3D and I think the last time I played it properly was like in 2017, so going through the dungeons with a "grown up perspective" was very interesting and nostalgic at the same time. This might be one of the greatest games of all time and I love it wholeheartedly

The future is weird and mostly terrifying and distressing, but the fact that OoT is still being talked about with so much love...makes all the dystopia worth it.

i would love to see videos on all the other games as well truly informative and fun

Awesome video. Been listening in bed and enjoying using my minds eye to picture the scenes ur describing as I know the game so well. Can't wait for the majora one. Love from UK 🇬🇧

I bawled my eyes out learning the four Poe sisters in the Forest Temple were named after the four sisters in Little Women: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy.

Get a grip

Awesome can’t wait to leave this on my tv

This is so well done and multiple levels, thanks and great work! My only idea to perfect this would add bits of LORE but, that's jsut my personal opinion.

I think it's worth noting that the main two reasons that OOT's 'Intro' section doesn't feel like a 'Bunch of chores' like twilight princess is that it gives the player two seemingly simple tasks...and then lets them go. For both tasks you must acquire info to discover where a suitable item might be. For Task A, the deku shield, you then have to Explore the Kokiri Forest in search of money- With near total freedom. This mimics the exploration aspects of the game, letting the player explore and discover things on their own. For Task B, The kokiri sword, you have to navigate what is, essentially, a miniature dungeon- Having to navigate a small 'maze' of narrow corridors with a trap a chest and dead ends... This mimics the dungeon crawl portion of the game. The forest is laden with neat little things to discovery like the square hopping rupee, and characters and signs that teach you SO much without ever seeming like it's trying to teach you.. It sets you up expertly with all the skills you'll need to complete the game right at the start. Twilight Princess on the other hand is a bunch of literal chores that attempt to masquerade as teaching moments but fail miserably and go on for FAR too long while being entirely restricting.. No freedom to do what you want to do or solve the problem how you want to solve it.

This is fantastic. Very well done

13:19 The music also did fit well, like it's something big and scary but not really hurtful

the Deku Tree is honestly one of my favorite dungeons in the series 👌

I don't think anything will ever top getting big and entering the Forest Temple for the first time.

Love to hear about your memories of this great game. I feel the same way. I was 12 when we got this for Christmas in 1998

I’ve fallen asleep to this compilation the past 2 nights! Please upload the rest! I love it!!!! It’s nice to have them all in one long video

More will be coming! Thanks so much

Really nice vid. i played this game for the first time last year (was also my first zelda game in general) and I absolutely loved it, and the dungeons were definitely my favourite part, so it's nice having this as a recap of what made them so great. I think the spirit temple is probably my fav, it's just so epic and well thought out, fun, i love the boss fight, and the music is goated. 10/10. Funny thing about the "correct" order of the adult dungeons: I actually did the fire temple before the forest temple. I dont remember exactly why, but I think it was because navi told me to see the fairy at death mountain right after becoming adult link because I havent done that as child link, so I thought this was the place to go. I didnt actually have any issues completing it before the forest temple. Im not sure however if you can do the water temple before any of those 2 dungeons first, would be interesting to try out for sure.

"Really easy" Lol first grade me couldn't even get to the miniboss in the deku tree

I appreciate your dedication to this game, great video. Forest Temple & Water Temple 4 life

This game came out when i was about 7 months old and i use to play this all the time with my grandmother so this place is going to always hold a place deep in my heart

Fantastic job with this video!!

This game came out when i was about 12 years old and it literally catapulted my life into hitherto unknown levels of joy. Experiencing the magic of this game during a time when these graphics were basically unheard of was pure ecstasy. A truly glorious time to be alive. This game is a masterpiece.

Great video. For all your in-depth analysis into the (iconic) music, I'm surprised you didn't have much on the best song in the game (Gannondorf castle-top battle).

I wish I could forget what happens in these games so I can play them for the first time again glad I had Nintendo growing up

All the dungeon analysis videos put into one cohesive video and it takes a longer amount of time to beat the water temple for the first time then it does to watch this video.
