I played it once as a kid, and didn't get past finding the shield and sword to get to the deku tree, I thought that was it and it was boring, fast forward to when I was around 17 I played it again on 3ds and was hooked. No nostalgia here lol.
Except when you climb that mountain, instead of discovering nothing, you discover a huge side quest involving several characters where you exchange several items and discover an entire sub-plot, and get rewarded with a secret weapon.
The genius of Kondo's score for this game isn't just for the variety of feels that he manages to produce, but that he builds almost every melody around the five notes available to the player on the Ocarina.
@@AGuy-vq9qp He had to do it cuz the ocarina mechanic only used 5 different buttons (4 C Buttons and the A Button), so the player can only play 5 ocarina notes. The game still uses all 12 notes across its soundtrack, for harmonic colour and to flesh out melodic ideas, but the main melodies, front and centre of 95% of the soundtrack, are built around just 5.
@@AGuy-vq9qp You can hold the r or z buttons playing the ocarina to move the pitch. The music is mostly not recorded, it's programmed(with some exceptions, the fidelity is very low, it's mostly used for short sound effects) it takes up very little storage space.
Yeah same, I feel the designers did that on purpose to symbolize people in society, how as kids we are so happy, full of love and ambition; but as we become "adults" and transfer into society as a cog in the system, some people either lose a little of that kid inside, or they just mask it off and everyone acts like an "adult"
I think the most genius part of this game is the Bottom of the Well area. Because it's an imaginative way to show that Link after traveling to the Future can't see the world as a bright and colorful place anymore. Before going to the future Child Link had all these wacky adventures and fun areas of him and Zelda being like "Yeah we can stop Ganon we can save the world!" But when you go to the future and come back as a Child for the Well you suddenly see the world is much scarier. Ocarina of Time truly is a masterpiece of a game and there's no doubt in my mind that it is Nintendo's (and Aonuma's) Magnum Opus
I never thought of it this way at all but you’re right, The only time I think that you have to go back to being a child is to visit the well to get the lens of truth. It’s like you look back on something from your childhood and realize years later that something was not as you remembered it.
It reminds me of my childhood I grew up in a third world country farm w cows horses and a mountainous landscape, i always had my machete w me and my grandpa made a handcrafted slingshot for me those where very popular in my country, then grew up, moved to the capital and i work behind a desk now... I miss my childhood.
I heavily disagree, but i they did more with what they had than any other game by a longshot. Audio, graphics, etc. can make a huge difference in a games atmosphere so i think there are several games with a much more impactful atmosphere, but i think oot does more with less than any game ever
@@elididde3377 hey everyone, look at dumbo! he's willfully wrong LOL ofc you disagree you fucking redditor but you've yet to offer any competitor that even comes close you badabitchass contrarian
@@vedaryan334 god damn I still remember writing this comment. I think it proves sometimes Dunk is a little wrong and jumps the gun with his assessment of games based on shallow biases he has. If it's AAA and not overly inventive, he typically says he doesn't like it, but it's clear that having spent time away from the game he actually respects some of its design elements a lot, to the point where he refers back to them. I KNEW he would feel differently about Death Stranding after his initial video and now he has some praise for it. I think he was dead wrong about Horizon Forbidden West being boring and uninspired and hope he'll give it a second chance, it's another great game. Coming from someone who mostly plays indie games
I come back to this review time and again. There is something so infectious and satisfying about Dunkey's passion when he talks about Ocarina of Time that watching the video has become as nostalgic as playing the game
It's because he uses the game's score to emphasize his points. He's literally showing a huge part of what makes the game great in the video, and I think that's what gives the video that quality.
Agreed, it's one of the best gaming videos out there. He breaks down why this game is so good in under 5 minutes, and packs a lot of meat into that breakdown.
I remember beating it as a kid but felt it was incredibly difficult. It wasn’t until years later that I realized I didn’t know there was a lock on system and had played through the whole game without it.
What.... how is that even possible...? lol, was your z button broken or something? I'm not doubting you, I just find it hard to believe you made it through the entire game without accidentally locking onto something at least once and then figuring it out from there
I always see people say "Ocarina of Time aged horribly, play it again and you'll see that it's actually not that good of a game by today's standards." And then I play it again. And they are fucking wrong.
Yeah as somebody who just got into the Zelda franchise 3 years ago I can say that while Oot isn't the best game ever, it's definitely up there and has stood the test of time. 10/10 will play again.
lol oot is easily the greatest game ever created. its not even up for debate, especially if you where born in the 90s. you guys are just to simple to grasp anything but cod .
I wouldn't mind just porting the 3DS version of the game and maybe add in some more quality of life improvements.. Make it 720p/1080p 60fps and we are GOLDEN
That's the biggest flaw in most movies, and some story driven video games, today ( *cough* Destiny *cough* ). Telling a bunch of stuff, and not much showing the cool stuff.
That's why, in Star Wars, the 2D clone wars cartoon is better than the prequels and the 3D clone wars. They show you Mace Windu is a fucking badass. They show Grievous is a badass instead of talking about him. They show you anakin getting darker not by the words he says but by the people he straight up murders. 2D clone wars was the best man.
I remember seeing the Ghoma boss as like a 11 or 12 year old and saying, oh boy this is gonna be a nightmare, then beating it easily. Then I finally got to Hyrule field and dies to a stupid plant that FLYS oh and a couple skeletons.
@@unlimited8410 In some ways , unfortunately yes. If modern standards are just technical stuff like graphics and ui etc., then maybe not, but as a game this is miles better than 99.999% of the video games of today. There's like 10 games as good
Still my favorite game of all time. Another thing I absolutely love about this game is the Forest Temple. The first time you set foot in the sacred meadow, now filled with Ganondorf's minions, and you hookshot up to that ledge, you know you're in for some serious shit. The music in that temple is just sublime and sets the mood perfectly, the atmosphere is through the roof, and then fucking ghosts appear just to fuck with you and you have to track them down to restore the elevator. And then there's the Phantom Ganon boss fight, an awesome foreshadowing of the final battle. I also love the gimmick of shooting the paintings he's coming from. And all of this in your first dungeon as Adult Link. Once you get out, you can feel that the game is serious now, but there is still hope, even after 7 years of darkness.
You know this one time, I had aids, right? I know crazy, but then, I watched Sky beat Dunkey, WOOPS I mean, Dunkey beat Sky, almost got those mixed up, one with a masterful smash player, and Sky.
Words can’t describe how incredible this game was when it came out. It wasn’t the first adventure game but the scale of things just felt so massive compared to anything. Being able to just explore hyrule pretty much influenced every open world game today and it still feels awsome to explore. Just a masterpiece. My jaw just constantly hit the floor as a kid
I just finished this game like 10 minutes ago and goddamn this video just fit PERFECTLY. Such an Incredible feeling. Such an Incredible experience. Such an Incredible game.
every single time someone asks what my favorite game of all time is and i tell them it's ocarina of time and they look at me weirdly I always tell them to go watch this specific video because you're right. this video is a PERFECT review for Ocarina of Time.
'You enter and the camera slowly pans down revealing the huge interior of the deku tree. You see that it's cluttered with webs and malicious spiders and plants. Then very slowly the music starts to creep in and you understand that this is a sacred place that has been dying for probably hundreds of years.' This is how you establish atmosphere in a video game review
Ive just finished this game as a 21 year old for the first time few weeks ago. Perfect ammount of difficulty dungeons, fun and well writen plot. Bosses were fun not too hard not too easy. In my mine this is will be forever a timeless classic.
Good for you trying older stuff! Another thing that makes this game great is how much it did first. Target locking ("Z-targeting"), the block-roll-strike style 3D combat, the hookshot, "map anything" buttons... the list of innovations goes on and on. I've often said that every modern 3rd person action game from Assassin's Creed to Dark Souls is essentially just a reskin of OOT.
I am only playing the 3DS version now and it’s an absolute masterpiece. Developers had to be very creative due to the technical limitations at the time which resulted in a compact and meaningful open world. Hyrule field is basically empty but it works as a build up to your next dungeon, it’s like a mini journey/downtime which benefits the pacing. These days all you get is 100GB of massive open worlds which are mostly pointless and full of padding. OoT world and locations have meaning, it’s more videogamey but that’s good because IT’S A VIDEO GAME. Devs these days basically have virtually no limitations, you have several GB of storage, RAM and loads of processing power. They’re not forced to be creative and work around extreme limitations anymore.
Truer words have never been said before haha!! Today's games make me anxious most of the times.. I appreciate them but it's really hard to get into them.. The old Zelda formula is the most video game a video game can get haha It's even wild that OOT was considered the biggest game of it's time
yeah open world games these days are dead with just pointless repetitive meaningless crap in them.. Ocarina did it right tbh. You travel the field to get to lon lon ranch or the castle town area or kakariko etc.. Breath of the wild did open world well for the design and time of the game. Like it feels like aged so its interesting seeing a the remnants of places etc.. With zelda games they didn't just design the game like throwing shit at it for the sake of it its like they thought about the lore and having reason for things to be the way it is. Most open world games these days feel like they are built just to exist in the present time of the story. they don't feel lived in like the world existed before your story or will even exist after your story.. Thats a huge difference you can feel when playing it
It"s only empty when you explored it all. These massive things that start to fly, cutable grass, grottos, trees, the skeletons, the poes and as you said lots of paths to new areas. The first and only one of a few areas with real time daylight cycle
This is the absolute best description of this game I have ever heard. Yes, the video is funny...but very wholesome at the same time. The way you analyzed this game was spot on. It's good to see Koji Kondo mentioned, because a lot of the time he is passed over. Perfect video, my friend.
I played the game for the first time about two years ago, and it all seemed fine. granted, nintendo didn’t know how to program first person controls and they still don’t, hence the shitty aiming. But besides that it plays very well so I dont know what the hell your talking about mate
When you realize the ending of OoT is satisfying but afterward, tragic: -Adult timeline, Forgotten and almost turned his story into a legend; -Kid timeline, nobody knows he is the Hero of Time that saved Hyrule from Ganondorf's suppressing idea of power.
I call crap on that. If you played TP, they can't shut up about "the ancient hero" which is obviously OoT link. -The Gorons hold his bow as a sacred artifact. -the Zoras speak of him in melancholic tones and kept his jacket as another heirloom. -when TP link gets the green, everyone calls him a larper and a poser for wearing the "ancient heros" garbs. -art of him is plastered all throughout multiple dungeons. -when ya meet him, hes a seven foor tall skelly man with bright gold armor and he says he's only sad that he couldn't pass down his techniques, nothing to do with being remembered as a hero.
@@modterra1397 what I mean is that people think link was forgotten about in the child timeline, but hes not. Even if they dont know about his adventures rolling around hyrule fighting ganon as an adult, he's became a mythical figure later on. Hes not forgotten in that timeline.
My favorite game of all time, ocarina of time was a game waaaay ahead of its time. The story, the characters, the music, the mechanics, the world. This game is a masterpiece.
Well as a matter of fact, OOT was actually created in 1879 as a technological experiment, and was thereafter the inspiration for every game ever made, but they postponed the release to just a century or so after its conception due to concerns for children who might find their hands on the game. Facts
Played my first Zelda games on the 3ds (I do not count minish cap since I never finished that game lol). It totally hooked me to play more zelda games, and after playing windwaker, twilight princess and BOTW, legend of zelda has become my favorite franchise.
+yungtown Your bachelor video was the shit - continued great work by you. I've watched you for years man, I hope to see you as popular as Dunk one day. :)
This was really satisfying to watch. The passion and love for this game I've already had was fueled even more by your enthusiastic review. I think another play through is in order.
Genuinely so happy that kids can experience the same shit on 3DS that I experienced when I was that age on the N64. Even if you aint a fan of the Legend of Zelda series, you gotta play this game at least once in your life.
RossBoomsocks I have to play it on 3ds some day, I started this saga with minish cap (which literally took me 5 years to clear without guides, yes I'm a dork fucking Vaati 3rd phase fucked me really hard) and from that one on I've been trying to at least see a walkthrough of all of them, but I have yet to experience this ride which has been called the best LoZ of all
I'm so happy it's out on the 3DS because I popped out my mommas vagina in 97 and LEMME tell you something, playing or Ocarina of time or majoras mask was some scary shit at my age. Luckily I have a Fuckwit older brother that I watched beat the game. Back on topic im glad I got to play these masterpieces, I can safely say it's one of the best games out there. However every game has to bow down before metal gear solid hehehe
I first played OoT on the 3ds when I turned 8, because I saw my cousin play it right after it came out on 3ds, and it seemed cool, and I asked for a 3ds and OoT for my birthday. I've played it a bunch over the years, and it will remain my favorite game of all time, partly because of nostalgia, but mostly because of the great story and gameplay.
This came out during my childhood. I was 8 or 9 and this game, for all intents and purposes, was God to me. I took its messages of ethics, responsibility, compassion and perseverance and made that my concept of what it is to be a good person and explore life with a sense of awe and wonderment. Obviously as a kid, I didn’t know that it was doing the job of a parent, but hindsight holds no regrets for me on this one. Thank you for reminding me, man. Thank you so much.
@@alexanderm6742 Not in those expressed terms, no. But I learned to value being an outlier that pursued individual responsibility and standing for what’s right and rejecting bullshit accepted by the masses.
@@subotrash686 If you’re saying I couldn’t articulate this in those words as a small child, you’d be right lol.. That said, yes I absolutely did take those things away from this game, at that age.
@@conservat1vepatr1ot I think people underestimate what children can feel and think. Even if it’s not as laterally complex and developed as say you thinking about those things as an adult. I totally believe you derived that from the game. Because it’s clear you have obviously discerned these POVs thru adulthood and childhood. To at least some degree, anyway. Wishing you a great day.
Ah. Good. This is what I needed. Not "Ocarina of Time is the best game ever because fuck you." Not "Ocarina of time is the worst game ever because I'm edgy." An actual proper evaluation of the various elements of the game. And all delivered in a comedic way. Thank you.
For real, Egoraptor's review of Ocarina of Time just about epitomises the 'it's cool to hate OoT' trend. I really lost all respect for him after watching that and realising he was clearly just nostalgic for Link to the Past and used that to fabricate lies about later Zelda titles to make them seem awful
+Panheim Even though I don't necessarily agree with his opinions on Ocarina, I still love that video. It cracks me up and I think it's very useful insight into the creation of games. And I don't know if I'd go so far as to say he was fabricating lies... he just has unpopular opinions. I honestly see most of his points. I do really like Ocarina of Time, though.
+Snow White That's not the point. Hating it just because "bleh eh graphics and eh yeh fuku" is crap, especially since it's not a question of opinion that there's a LOT of love in that game, as well as original ideas. Being bored by it because you just not really like, well, be it the gameplay or its fantasy setting - that's a whole different thing. I for mine surely can't understand how to not like this game, but that again is a different matter. No one here ever criticised a legit opinion.
I think you need to chill yo. No one is obligated to like Ocarina of Time, but what is merely being pointed out is that certain people hate it simply because it is seen as trendy to do so. The game is not perfect, but it's a little tiring when criticisms don't make much of an effort to carefully dissect the issues it faces and instead resort to portraying those who disagree as morons (see case in point: Egoraptor's analysis)
my bigger problem with this video and oot is when he says exploration is rewarding? what the fuck? first off watch egoraptors oot vs link to the past, second let's look at what exploring gets you in link the past? new weapon that makes a boss 10 times easier and multiple useful items and heart containers, what do you get from oot? 300 rupees at best and maybe just maybe a heart container
It is kind of cool to hate OoT nowadays. I am so glad you could dive in unbiased because of youtube hipsters wanting to be interesting. It's like me when I was a kid playing the game for the first time. Cheers mate!
Some of my casual gamer friends used to say this and I suggested them Crysis but then they said " It's too hard. There's nothing good about it except graphics" -_-
I JUST NOTICED. When Dunkey talks about the time travel mechanic, he gives exemples of how things in the young link age change 7 years later. When he talks about the past, it shows footage of Ocarina of Time for Nintendo 64; when he talks about the adult age, it shows game footage from OoT 3DS. Genius. Btw this is one of my favourite videos on youtube love you dunk
+videogamedunkey I was more referring to the framerate of the video rather than the game itself. I know that the N64 OoT is capped at 20fps and was thinking that the stuttery video footage was dunkey setting up a joke about the game's low framerate.
+liveFinalFantasy some of the footage is the original n64 version and when the frames aren't shit it's the 3ds version. You can tell from how Link's face looks as well
+ShowmenTv You want a negative thing about OoT? You can only have 3 save files, meaning you have to delete one once you beat it three times, and delete another one for every subsequent file you want to start.
well of course some things don't hold up, our standards as consumers have changed since then. The unskippable dialogue with the owl and navi one of the biggest things that stands out. While not a drawn out tutorial level with nothing interesting, just a 'monkey see monkey do' type of thing, these unskippable dialogues are overall better, but tutorials are something people have become increasingly against in recent times. The graphics also don't look as impressive anymore, but they still look decent because they're stylized and thematically appropriate (Same reason why WW on GCN still looks good). Not to mention, one-time use dungeon items that you'll only need for one dungeon and then never have to use ever again
Near perfection. Phenomenal gameplay, great story, great themes, real discovery and sense of adventure, great directing and phenomenal pacing. No redundant mechanics, no grindy filler, excellence in every single area of design. Still used as a reference to this very day for world class game designers. It's up there with the likes of Tetris, Portal, Half-Life 2 and Nintendo's own stable of candidates for best game ever as an example of a truly near perfect videogame.
@@ChodyRay and I fully respect the game for achieving that. But calling it the best game ever?? Nah. It may have been amazing back in the day and still holds up to a really good game today but it isn’t the greatest game ever. I can easily point out many flaws of the game (which again, for the time it was made, it is completely understandable). The greatest game ever is probably something like god of war, the last of us, red dead 2, Witcher 3 or breath of the wild (these are the ones I can think of at the moment but I am pretty sure there are plenty more)
@@juice8431 that is biased, you are thinking those games are the best only because they came out recently and look amazing compared to older games. But if we are looking at games that was amazing at its time compared to games that came out amazing in a different time, zelda ooc smashes everything.
This is far and away the most intense and passionate video game review I have ever seen. Subscribing to your channel based on this alone. This was beautiful, dude. If I had never heard of this game before, I would need to go out and buy it right now. I have played through ocarina of time numerous times and I agree with every word.
They truly nailed the way to tell a story; I played it when I was a kid, never could have imagined the masterpiece would it be but I sure was completely immersed in it and I still remember it fondly to this day.
+1objection Yeah, that video ultimately comes down to "I don't like this game because I don't like 3'D mechanics." Still, I found it hilarious and really liked the dig it took at Skyward Sword. Because fuck Skyward Sword.
Daxinar0 Skyward Sword wasn't even that bad though.... and he gave no argument for why he didn't like it. The entire time he was just yelling "NO, SKYWARD SWORD, NO" for the "comedic" effect it had.
+1objection Well that's because Dunkey does almost nothing except praise it. I agree more with Egoraptor's LoZ. Having never played the game when I was younger, it really is lacking in combat. Sure the different items are varied and dungeon theming is quite good, along with a fantastic atmosphere and wonderful soundrack it's a really solid game, but not as amazing as a lot of others lead it on. I think the reason why you and other's dislike Egoraptor's review on it was because he was focusing mostly on the negative of the game and didn't spend much time praising a lot of the fantastic parts about it.
Wrosgar No, I can agree that the combat isn't great in this game, but Egoraptor's video is nothing but bashing on stupid shit like how he can't explore a late game area until its unlocked or how the puzzles are made annoying in the 3d Zelda games because he has to look up slightly and use an item instead of mindlessly hitting targets on a 2d screen.I agree that Ocarina of Time is overrated by today's standards, but at the time, it deserved all the hype it got.
+1objection So you prefer the ignorant worship this video provides, rather than the actual objective review of someone who actual cares about the zelda series? that's ok, you're entitled to your hilariously misguided opinion lol.
someone told me that ocarina of time isnt the best game and then proceded to talk about a game that i dont even remember the name of. You can disagree but in the end legends will be remembered.
I think this is my favorite dunkey video. I come back and re-watched this over the years. It so perfectly compasses what makes ocarina of time so special. This video is that fucking masterpiece shit.
I remember hating school when I was about 5 and my mom brought out her Nintendo 64 so I could play Zelda and I loved this shit. I even learned how to read off of it because of how dedicated I was to finishing it! I had an 8th grade reading level in 3rd grade.....but then I learned that math existed and now here I am. Watching old videos late at night as a mediocre junior student. Life is depressing.
Dick Baguette I had a college level reading comprehension in first grade. Now I have a D in English. Funny how that works; you pass 13 and suddenly every merit you have means jack shit.
When I was in elementary school my mom refused to allow me to have any video game systems. So when I went to my friends I would enjoy going into their basement with them and play N64 all night long with them. Specifically MarioKart and Orcarina of Time. This game gave me so much joy aside from the game aspect, it took me into a marvelous dream every time we played. I loved to free roam and just admire the characters and scenery and imagined everyone in the game was a real character (not an NPC) a living character that had a life like the farmer from Lon Lon Ranch and the Gorons. When you went to the future and everything was broken down and dark it gave me this sad feeling but in a good way because it made the game that much more real. Until this day I've never owned a gaming system but these experiences really rooted me into the Zelda series and I occasionally watch gameplay of the newer games on youtube to see what the games are like now. I normally don't write long-winded storytelling comments but this game is a MASTAPEECE. *5months after this comment update* 1. This is my most liked comment ever, its so cool, thx guys. 2. I've been playing Breath Of The Wild with my girlfriend the last few months, AH IT FEELS GOOD. 3. Like this video or ima punch you in the balls. BYE BYE
RubADub Media Yeah, and the fans that defend the fun they have with mediocre games : They don’t have the same connection as you; they probably never did; or they forgot the ones they had during their childhood with time; and now they don’t know what they miss; because they never defend the connection they have with the “plank-of-wood”, poorly written NPCs, amirite ?
Ihave an idea.... Buy a console. No but like, 80$ or some shit. Buy that shit, get the controller and data cartridge, pop the disc in and boom ocarina of time. Gamecube games are abit pricey.
This game means so much to me. For me Nothing has quite recaptured the sense of adventure and growth that this game has. Not a lot of games are like this as most of them get tedious after 10 hours.
Dunk, you need to make a full "let's play" of this game, for sure. You know you'd love to play it again, and that we'd all like to see some more raw dunk.
A couple months back i had just gotten my 3ds and got a game every month. On my 3rd month i had no idea of what game to get so i just chose at random and i chose ocarina of time. It just had this look of adventure so i went into this not knowing anything about the game except the characters (my older brother knew zelda and i learned some things from him sometimes when he played a game of zelda). So i got home and played this game and it was the greatest decision of my life. I fell in love with the game and i became a zelda fan ever since and seeing all the love this franchise gets is phenomenal.
This video has brought so much joy to so many people. I keep coming back here. If I'm in a bad mood, it puts me in a good mood. If I'm in a good mood, it puts me in a better. Dayumn boi.
"this game is a true classic, and it stood the test of time" -Dunkey (3:34). he is very obviously praising and applauding and commending the game for its content, gameplay, and atmosphere. he starts off sarcastic because he is saying that as a kid he thought it was garbage, because its graphics were so outdated. Yes, hyrule field is massive and travelling through it sucks, but that's not what Dunkey (or anybody else who appreciates the game) cares about. the music, the cutscenes, the puzzles, the battles, they're all unique and beautiful
i think you just don't know how to appreciate a video game for what its worth. there's a reason why nintendo rebooted OoT for GameCube and Wii and 3DS. yes the simple creatures are repetitive to defeat, but most of the boss battles require you to use different methods to beat them; therefore, NOT all the same. your argument for the songs is stupid though, the "boring ambience" dungeon music sets a somber, sinister tone, and each song/music for each specific location is unique and different. what 4 or 5 songs are the only ones that people care about? yes the cutscenes might not hold up against today's video game cutscenes, but I don't think Dunkey was comparing them to today's video game cutscenes
do you just hate OoT because you don't like zelda games or the commitment it takes to beat them? it's meant to take time to beat, it's meant to immerse you in Hyrule and that whole world
The music is amazing because it is atmospheric, each and every song perfectly describes what terrain you are going into. The different dungeons, the graveyard, all of it has something that matches it. An OST doesn’t have to be memorable to be good. The feeling the songs give you is much more powerful than what it actually is. Original Metroid 2 on gameboy is a very good example of this. I think that people not liking hyrule field is kind of strange. I mean I don’t love it or anything, but I’ve never found it annoying at all. It feels like you have to rush through it to get where you need at certain times which makes it stressful rather than boring, and by the time you don’t, you have abilities to make it rather quick. The entire size of the area is cool to me too. However that one random fence that is there for no reason will always bother me. It’s all a matter of personal taste.
Inside The Deku Tree Theme in my opinion is one of Koji Kondo’s best works because it so cleverly encapsulates what OOT is about but it’s so simple and foreboding and yet it still cleverly communicates what the player should be feeling without even telling them. video games are art and Koji Kondo is an artist
I love how when Dunkey gets passionate about games, he is able to paint these graphic images in the mind and bring even the tiniest details into the spotlight, whereas most people just pass them over, only focusing on the fighting or graphics. Gives me shivers
