14:59 "We know there's a hundred rupees in their guy" lmao absolutely clowned on the buffoon

I remember going through this game and burning every bush, bombing every wall looking for secrets. The feeling you got when you found something was incredible 😄

Fun fact: the "master"ghosts in the graveyard only move in 4 directions: up down left right. The ones that get summoned by touching the headstones move in any direction. If you lose track, look for the one moving only in straight lines

The first steps before Dungeon 1 are an amazing help. Having the white sword, blue ring, and additional hearts definitely increased my enjoyment of the game overall!

Okarnia of Time lmao You make good videos, dude. That just threw me for a loop.

I am completely addicted to this channel. This is commentary done right. Great job!

"Ocarnia of Time" I damn near died laughing when i heard that.

When we were young this was an epic weeks-long quest. You turned it into a half afternoons distraction.

Thank you for this documentation of gaming history. This video should be preserved and shown in the 2080s or even 3080s to demonstrate what the early days of personal video games were like.

Your channel is going to take off HUGE. Remember us little people. Thanks for the great videos!

I love how you know all the random enemy names and point each one out. It's a nice touch you put in all your videos.

Memories of sleepovers, pizza deliveries, and staying up all night with friends playing this golden childhood gem.

It's crazy that having played and beaten the game numerous times as a child and then rediscovering it years later, I never knew of the order of the item drops and other things as well. This game never seems to run out of secrets. Very cool.

Your method for clearing areas by avoiding enemies unless necessary is certainly efficient. Watching all those enemies survive and rooms not explored drives me nuts though.

This is my new favorite chill out channel. You're the Bob Ross of lets plays. I love it

I got stuck at level 5 and never got the magic sword. My mom had graph paper for each level and methodically marked every attempted and successful bombed wall and burned tree. We even had graph pages for each scene in the overworld. It was so much fun as a kid to go into that much detail and watching her beat the game!

Ahhh yes, some of my first memories are of Zelda. I remember making a sword and shield out of wood and proudly plastering my holographic Zelda sticker i got out of a cereal box smack dab in the middle of the shield. I dedicated a corner to the man cave to this series, and with good reason! Timeless classic. Also never beat it until emulation years later lol.

I'm going to give you the craziest tip on Zelda. But it is so weird, that I have to explain it, otherwise it makes no sense. First off, understand that all of Link's items are DIRECTIONAL. This means the direction you face when you use an item (including playing the recorder) matters. When it comes to attacks, Link always attacks in one of four directions. Think of it like using the sword (or wand) to stab/attack up, down, left or right. Everyone know that Darknuts are vulnerable on three sides (his left, his right, and his back) but are shielded on the front. The NES figures out whether the Darknut takes damage or not based not only on the direction the Darknut is facing, but also the direction Link is facing. It makes sense. If Link is facing Left when he stabs a Darknut that is facing right, the Darknut doesn't take damage. It's simple. But here's where things get weird. When a bomb explodes, it creates seven puffs of smoke (which, by the way, do not hurt Link in this game, so there's no need to run from your own bombs). These seven puffs of smoke are what attacks enemies, giving the bomb a very large attack footprint. But remember that I said that attacks are directional? Yes, even the seven puffs of smoke attack in one direction, only. Which direction you may ask? They attack in the same direction that Link was facing when he dropped the bomb. For most enemies this is not an issue. But it is important for Darknuts. Let's say Link drops a bomb while he is facing UP. A Darknut walks DOWN and the bomb explodes BEHIND him. Well, since the bomb exploded behind the Darknut and the Darknut is vulnerable from behind, it should hurt him with shrapnel in his back, right? Wrong. Since the smoke is ONLY attacking in an upwards direction (as Link dropped it while facing up) and the Darknut is facing DOWN (which means he is shielded from upwards attacks), he takes no damage. That's right. The Darknut's shield, which he carries in front of him, can protect him from bombs that explode behind his back! And you would never know this. Why? Because the Darknut will flicker like he took damage and even get pushed backwards by the explosion, making you THINK that you are injuring him, but he actually took no damage. I've watched frustrated gamers unload 16 bombs on a Darknut who survived them all. This is why. You have to strategize the DIRECTION you place the bomb.

I always start with the first dungeon. It is easier than some of the fights in the overworld, you are likely going to get some bombs there, the heart container and the boomerang help immensely when traversing the overworld.

I've always wanted to play this game but have been privately very intimidated by it and games like it. I finally am tackling it with an original cartridge on original hardware and using this guide to figure out where to go and when I get stuck I reference this guide. It's been wondrously helpful in making this game a pure joy to play but it's also saved me months of my life that I would have spent through trial and error figuring out everything blindly. I've watched many of your guides here and I have to say this is one of the best channels on RU-vid. I hope you continue to do this for a very long time.

The “O-CARNIA” of time. Nailed it.

*Fan 1:* "OH-carina!" *Fan 2:* "AH-carina!!!" *UCBVG:* _sweeps the leg_

"... And Zelda: The Ocarnia of Time." Love it.

That dude rapping actually said "wickey-wickey-wick", I'm guessing an actual turn table wasn't in the budget...making it priceless

*starts game* "Okay now, the first thing you want to do is enter this cave and grab this wooden sword for free." *two minutes later* "Okay, it's time to upgrade that sword..."

The Gerudo theme has always been my favorite 😻

In the 3-trap room in level 6 you can avoid all 3 by just continuing to move forward through them without stopping. Just hold up starting before you enter the room. DONT STOP.

It was an honor sharing my first playthrough of “The Legend of Zelda” with you, looking forward to the next one in the “Adventure of Link”

How is this not the number one gaming related channel on you tube??? Man i love this channel! Keep up the excellent work!

@1:42 Woo! Go Zelda: The oh-carnia of time!

The magical rod was always my favorite item. Link can also strike enemies with the rod itself for the same damage as the white sword.

This guys doing the Lord's work LOL. Watching these videos makes me feel so warm inside great memories

You sir are a master of nostalgia! Best binge watching channel. P.s. the doggo opening is so adorable

Watching all my favorite childhood videos games get beaten is so relaxing. You have a very calming voice too, I've been falling to sleep listening to you. Not that you're boring lol, just very calming and comfy to listen to while laying down.

I'm glad I never saw the rapper add you showed, in Montana. I must have spent weeks playing this video game. It was exceedingly fun. Even the game play counselor didn't know that trick about getting into level 7. I wish you'd have been around 35 years ago.

I've been playing since I was practically a toddler, beating the game recently (I'm almost 17 now) was so rewarding!!!

This is easily becoming my favorite channel on YT. I feel like a kid again watching you play these games.

Also, level 3 isn't a swastika. It's called a manji in Japan. It's a Buddhist religious symbol.

22:22 A chocolate candy that has come to life. 😊

Watching this it's surprising how much I still remember about this game, and yet there was still some stuff to discover in it. Thank you!

Mario 3 is still better than some games made today.

I remember the last thing my dad ever said to me: "I will not speak to you again until you've beaten Legend of Zelda on NES." I feared I may never get to speak to my father again. Now that I have seen this video I can beat Legend of Zelda and reunite with my estranged father.

Amazing video. I got this game for Easter 1988 and as a 12 year old it blew my mind. I'm glad for the help the game had, as it's very complex for it's time. The rich detailed manual, the map/guide book included, the coverage in Nintendo Players Club and the Players Guide, the hint book you could order....nowadays when I play the game I do EVERYTHING I can before I even start level 1. You can get just about anything with some time and effort, and then you can just cruise through the rest of the game.

I literally just watched this entire video! This has got to be the greatest Legend of Zelda full walkthrough video on RU-vid! You have one of those voices that is PERFECT for these types of “how to” videos! You sir, have earned a subscriber! I look forward to going through your other videos and seeing what other games you’ve covered. I’ve recently hooked up my old NES for the first time in a decade and I came to RU-vid looking for a video that would give me the hidden secrets to Zelda and this video did not disappoint! Excellent! Thank you so much for taking the time to do a full walkthrough and explaining each and every enemy and how to defeat them. Not to mention the time you spent explaining forced item drops. I’ve seen other videos (speedruns) that briefly tried explaining how forced item drops work, but none of them explained it the way you did! Now I completely understand how it works. Again, thank you for taking the time to make this video. I’m sure it will help all of us retro gamers who want to knock the dust off of their gold cartridges and become the hero of Hyrule once again!

I can't help it. My OCD has always forced me to kill all enemies on a screen especially if they were weak, the Rope snakes in particular...and if a monster dropped an item, I HAD to get it.

He is the Bob Ross of gaming. I get to watch a master at his craft as well as get transported to my happy place at the same time.

The Legend of Zelda has now become one of my favorite games that I just played on the Nintendo Switch! Despite having won twice in the first mission, I was (more or less) aware of some of the strategies the game brought us and I remember several puzzles along the way! Thank you very much for your tips and revealed well-hidden secrets that the game brings!

At 9:01 is that a golden retriever, retrieving a golden cartridge? Such a terrible pun I would have done it too. Also you do a great job on the commentary. It is smooth, fact-filled yet not dull or exaggerated. Wonderful balance sir.

This guy's voice be like Bob Ross. "And now Ganon's about to have a happy little accident...'

Love the original TLoZ. Something about it just feels so good to play, even just running around and doing nothing in particular. It's very calming to me. Obligatory mention for the sake of clarity that the dungeon is supposed to be a manji, not a swastika. The reason the snakes are called ropes is probably because an old Japanese word for snake is said to derive from their appearance to rotten ropes. Just realized Birdo from SMB2 and Wizrobes have the same attack sound effect.

I know this video is two years old but I absolutely watched every single second of it. I play Legend of Zelda all the time on my Switch. Brings back memories of my childhood. So many of these secrets I had forgotten about! Thank you for the BEST walkthrough on this platform!

Thank you. Just followed along on my Switch Lite and beat this for the first time. Reclaiming my childhood one game at a time.

A sincere thank you for putting so much time and effort to create these incredible videos. Well done on all levels, great presentation skills, and perfect editing. It is much appreciated.

As a speedrunner of this game, it's good to see a video like this that explains a lot of the bomb counts, etc to other people. It can be confusing to most, and I suck at explaining it. But you put together a good video. Keep up the good work!

I have such great memories of this game. I played it nonstop for years.

I’m totally addicted to this channel, so much nostalgia. You are replaying my childhood one video at a time. Can’t believe I just beat this game in under two hours, even with my dads hand drawn graph paper players guide when I was 10 it took me forever but I was limited to one fairy pond per day. Our Nintendo wasn’t for the kids. And was only like a reward. Only when I got into high school and my friends would loan me n64 games, did I get to play on a regular basis.

This is the first game I needed a guide to beat, and yet still learning stuff, never knew you could blow the recorder multiple times and do the math, always just went one dungeon at a time, and didn't know facing mattered, great job!

The problem with the step ladder. It isn't your REAL ladder.

I didn't really want to watch the walkthrough but, the whole introduction you do up to that point is amazing! Love the history of the games you show. Great work.

This game takes me back. With this video, I finally beat this game 30 years after I first played it as a kid. Thank again You Can Beat Video Games.

This is the second video I have watched of yours and I find it soothing and informative at the same time. Despite your Ohcarnia, you deserve a like and a sub lol.

Been binging this channel the last few days, please do A link to the past. Great channel!

I been following your channel since day one today was the day I finally got around to playing Legend of Zelda with your walkthrough it took me 7hrs to complete cause of all the challenges that that comes with an old school console like NES plus I use my phone through emulation with no controller. I know 7rs is still no excuse. Your guidance through the game was perfect. Thank you please don't stop.

Watching your videos brings back so many great memories! This was a whopper game back in the day. You have it down to a science! Amazing work.

wish the intros were in the same voice as his game play... Intros sound like he’s trying to make his voice deeper.

Great presentation my friend, you just earned a new sub. Endless replay value with this game

This is just the type of channel i didn’t know i needed in my life. As an adult i don’t have the time or patience to play thorough a game several times to work out where all the hidden stuff is. So this channel is perfect for that

This was my first Nintendo Game. It's beautiful and intertained. Thanks u for this guiline.

you deserve more views, quality work bro

I remember once I found the secret in the Northeast corner, I would skip getting the wooden sword at the beginning of a new quest, and buy the candle and bombs. I hope you will do a walk-through of the second quest.

halfway through the game now. been following since episode 1 and cant say enough how much i love these.

Thank you for the video. I was stuck on this game for so long, and I finally beat this. Keep them coming.

Also, what about the second quest?

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone butcher the word “Ocarina” more than you just did

I remember playing this game in the early 90s. I could never figure out how to get past all the creatures and dungeons. Thanks for bringing me through my childhood with all your classic game plays.

Another great video! Thanks to you, I’m tearing through the NES games I was never able to complete! First Metroid, now Zelda 1! Thank you!

1. Leave one enemy on the screen on the Outworld. That way, you won't have to worry about fighting the same number of enemies all over again. 2. The Wallmasters can be stunned all together with the boomerang. After that, kill them to reap in some rupees! 3. The walls to the right of the entrance on Level 2, can be bombed to reached the top of the level. And to get the blue boomerang, as well. 4. The candle (both red, and blue) can be used to kill enemies. The blue one can only be used once per screen, though. 5. The enemies to the right of the warp entrance between Level 1, and 2 give a good amount of rupees if killed by the white sword. 6. The boss of Level 5 can be killed by using the flute first. Then switch to the boomerang, stun it, and finish it with your sword/bomb/arrows/candle. 7. If you leave a strong enemy in a room in a level, and go out the door and come back in, that enemy might sometimes become a weak one. 8. There is win/lose rupees game one screen left of where you start the game from. One of the upper walls needs to be bombed (I forget which one). If you win, save your game. If not, reset it, and try again to rack up rupees early in the game. 9. If there is a controller 2 connected, press Up, and A at the same time to bring up the save menu. 10. Princess Zelda will have on the same color dress Link has, depending on the color of the ring he's using.

I always, as a rule, every time I play this, get the blue ring and white sword before I even start level 1. Lol

Did Everything, EVERYTHING, on this game when I was 8-9 years young back in '87 You're a God my Man, you're a GOD! 😁

Great walkthrough, never played this as a kid and would never have finished it as quickly without this video. On to the second quest

Never knew that blue plus blue equaled red. Thanks Zelda!

How about a deep dive on the 2nd quest? That one always gave me trouble. Well done btw.👍🤘

I keep going to this channel to maximize the enjoyment I had in playing these games as a kid only this time I actually have a shot at beating them. Thanks so much for this content

I was always so intimidated by this game as a kid and it feels so good to revisit as an adult and actually play through some of these harder dungeons that I used to think were impossible. Thank you for making this guide!!

This man said Ohkarnia of Time tbh

The game has a second more difficult setting, I want to learn to beat that version!

I love your narration when you are going through the walkthrough. Very relaxing. Keep up the good work.

Great playthrough. I wasn't planning on watching this whole video, but there was something so relaxing about your narration style I did! Now I'm inspired to beat Zelda. Never did finish this one as a kid.

I was waiting on damaging the old mans door.

Do you have a walkthrough for the second quest, where you type in "Zelda" in the profile select screen?

This is my favorite new channel I've discovered within the past few months. Keep up the great work!

Got it as a kid back in 94', it was epic! Will always remember when me and my dad played together :)

OH-CAR-NIA

Now do Quest 2!

I watch a lot of similar content and this is up there with the best, great job. I know this is a ton of work and you’re killing it!

Just started this again on my new Game and Watch 35th anniversary ... first thing I did was load up this video and bookmark it for when I get a brain fart lol. Kudos again!

This is the absolute perfect guide for this masterpiece of a game. Thank you!

This is probably THE best videogame walk-through channels on RU-vid, and one of the best videogame channels period.

The grandfather of NES games. Still a treat to play, I'm glad I own it.

This video made me absolutely happy. Thank you for taking me back in time.
