Ocarina of Time (OoT) is often viewed as a "masterpiece", gaming's magnum opus. "Does It Hold Up" was originally designed to question the longevity and legacy of older titles. What better than the "perfect game" to put to the test?

1) Since the Deku Tree dies immediately after Link goes to visit him, Mido believes Link is responsible. This is a rumor that eventually spreads amongst the Kokiri.
2) Hints from Navi, NPCs, or the Map screen is what I'm referring to when I talk about doing what is "suggested".
3) Malon will also spawn if you leave and reenter the area, as this is how she's programmed.
4) Talon's appearance is based on Mario, and the position he sleeps in is a direct reference to Mario's Idle animation in SM64. Talon and Malon both wear a Bowser pendant as a little bonus easter egg!
5) According to the games lore; Kakariko Village was founded and inhabited by the Sheikah tribe. Impa eventually opened the village to poor commoners, becoming the "leader" of Kakariko as a result.
6) The Goron Bracelets also allow Link to pick up grass and move the larger blocks found in the Temples. Link, even as an adult, needs this item to do said things.
7) It is technically possible to open the door to Shadow Temple using fire arrows, however this is an insanely difficult thing to do. This bubble was mainly for the "um actually" people.
8) This is the only section of the game where being completely lost is understandable to me. None of the NPCs or Navi provide any direction on where to find Ruto's Letter or Obtain the Silver Scale. While the path to the diving minigame is straight forward, its very easy to think “i don’t wanna play a minigame, i wanna continue the story” like i did during my very first playthrough
9) The clip used is sped up, so on a technicality I didn't play the whole thing for you :D
10) Playing sun's song during this time will mess with the skybox since the game is trying to force it to be night.
11) If you go into Dampé's hut, you can read his journal where he'll state that he'll give you his "stretching, shrinking keepsake"
12) These Poe actually have names! They are Joelle (red), Beth (blue), Amy (green), and Meg (purple)!
13) The fight with Dark Link reportedly doesn't change for OoT3D, however many other players also felt that it was easier. This may be a result of OoT3Ds increased frame rate.
14) Technically you can go through Shadow Temple and Haunted Wasteland without the Lens of Truth but unless practiced, doing so is highly unlikely.
15) Bottom of the Well features things like blood splatters, and visible torture devices in the main room. I avoided these areas on autopilot, but wish I had them for B-roll shots. My bad!
16) Shadow Temple does feature the "Gibdo", which is essentially just a redead, however they are programmed slightly differently. So I was incorrect, however they're still boring so who cares?

I’ve seen a few comments claiming that people who enjoy OoT are nostalgia biased. As the creator of this video, I’d like to throw out the fact that I was not alive when this game came out. I didn’t play OoT until it got its 3D remake, and had never touched the original until a few years ago. Preferring other entries to the series is okay and understandable. Despite my high rating OoT isn’t even MY favorite Zelda, I’m just able to look past my own personal enjoyment to acknowledge that this game is fantastic. Gameplay and graphics aren’t everything

@Ikronix007 Месяц назад

THANK YOU!! No one understands that last part at all. It just so annoying.

Месяц назад

@@Ikronix007 I'd agree with most of what Flaaphy said, but an emphatic note here, OOT's graphics (yes, n64 version) are AMAZING. Not everything needs high poly count to be beautiful. OOT graphics were humongous in 1998, and are equally gorgeous in 2024, just with a touch of retro charm now. The use of atmospheric effects (hazy in the morning, misty in the forest, dusty in the caverns), the art direction, lake Hylia at sunrise, the textures and colors in the forest temple, the scale of the world, the colossus statue, the excellent poly count for a 1998 game, everything comes together for a majestic presentation. Just a gorgeous, gorgeous game for any era, any age, any time.

@ Oh I agree. I'm saying that not every game has to be hyper realistic it pisses me off. Realism leaves no room for imagination. Thats what makes N64 Graphics great. Idc if the game looks like it was made for the N64 as long as the gameplay is good and it has a decent story.

No, the game is good, but compare it to breath of the wild or tears of the kingdom. Ridiculous comparison. It's the same thing as comparing SM64 to odyssey. Think I'm biased?

@TheUntypicalGerman 2 месяца назад

I had a great childhood in every aspect, but the N64 and especially Ocarina of Time still hold some of my fondest memories .. This game truly is a masterpiece, especially if you consider that it was the first 3D Zelda game on a very new Console in an era where 3D wasn't common at all yet, and they absolutely *nailed* it first try. Beating the game 100% all by myself without any help, not even internet, at the age of 10 made me feel so incredibly proud!

@jonathancangelosi2439 2 месяца назад

I grew up with this game, in an extremely literal sense. When I was around 5 years old, I got to the Deku Tree but had no idea you could light deku sticks on fire, so I never progressed beyond the room below the first spider web. Anytime I entered the room with the locked door and the unlit torch I thought I had softlocked, so I would grab the compass then save and reset, which would put me at the entrance of the Deku Tree. For about 3 years, I would play from the beginning of the game to that point in the Deku Tree and then reset. Then, one day, I accidentally lit a deku stick on fire, and that was when I realized what I had been missing the whole time. I made it through the rest of the dungeon, and I entered Hyrule Field for the first time. It was such a surreal experience watching the world open up to me beyond my comfortable home in the forest, and far beyond anything I could have conceived as a 5 year old. Not long afterward, I got to the Adult Link phase, and I was haunted by the Market. I remember crying because of how scary and menacing it was. I also saw Ganon’s Tower for the first time, and something about the camera staying really close behind Link in that area made it seem even scarier, as if I myself were hiding close behind Link. The crows and whooshing noises made it even more harrowing. Forest Temple definitely spooked me, too. But Spirit Temple left the biggest impact on me. It’s hard to put into words the way that temple made me feel. The idea of reconciling my youth with the necessity of growing up was such a profound message at my age. The impact this game has left on me is something I’ll never forget.

@TheMemessiah 2 месяца назад

I think OoT is more about the extremely lasting impact it had on gaming and its legacy. Sure, even in its time, it was completely groundbreaking. This game basically defined an entire genre and showed people what games could be rather than what they had been. That alone is probably already enough to get most people dropping near perfect scores, but then it has the audacity to actually have a compelling narrative (for its time) with intricately designed 3D environments and dungeons and a completely unforgettable soundtrack? Maybe some aspects of it don't hold up these days, but there's no denying its place in gaming history, and I think that's the most important thing about it to preserve for the generations to come.

I'm glad that very early on you phrase the internet's complaint about not being able to find stuff as "the game wasn't designed for babies".

Hell, the original game genuinely didn't tell you anything if you didn't have the manual

@CalamityVirus 2 месяца назад

the thing is, OoT tells you exactly where to go. It's just not presented in a quest log with markers. Navi will literally always tell you where to go next at every mile point. And NPC's dialogues also give a lot of extra information on top of that. If you're still stuck, Saria will also give you more information at each mile point.

What possible reason could you have for disliking OOT 3D? It upgrades the 25 year old (12 at the time) textures and makes quality of life changes to gameplay like having gyroscope aiming for the shooting galleries. It also revamped master quest and brought it to a wider audience which is great in and of itself. I will grant you that Majoras Mask 3D is inferior to the original due to some quality of life downgrades but Majoras Mask 3D still has good quality of life changes like the New 3DS compatibility and it is still my preferred version. OOT 3D however was untouched in pretty much every regard.

Great video dude! One thing that always bugged me was when you receive the medallions from the sages, they say they are adding their power to yours, but of course you can't use the medallions so they didn't add any powers to you. Of course, I learned later that that was the original intention in an earlier version of the game. Each medallion would give you different elemental powers, including dark and spirit! But in the end, they relegated the powers you WOULD have gotten from the medallions instead to elemental arrows and the 3 spells (din's fire, farore's wind, nayru's love). I like the idea of getting powers from the medallions way more. Would be fun to play a version of that game with that added back in.

This video made me realize I took for granted having a vast wealth of knowledge about the game not just at my disposal, but engrained into me. I grew up watching my older brother play OoT and MM religiously, over and over, for years. Of course you try to emulate your siblings, so I’ve loved Zelda (N64 especially) for as far as I can remember conscious life (being born the year OoT came out). Watching him beat the game repeatedly, I just absorbed the order of events and I beat the game by myself for the first time at 7. Come to find out afterwards that beating OoT is like a rite of family passage. My brother couldn’t figure the game out by himself when he was my age and it first came out, so my MOTHER beat the game in its entirety by herself and that’s how he learned what you’re supposed to do. I plan to make it family tradition passed from one generation to the next, where beating OoT is a requirement for coming of age. Thank you Momma for spending months homemaking a Link Halloween costume for me at 6 years old because I insisted that’s who I wanted to be and refused to cede ground (OoT Link! I hated Wind Waker as kid.) Majoras Mask is my favorite game ever and OoT is definitely top 3. While I see the valid criticisms made, I’m so blinded by nostalgia of simpler times and innocence, that these games can never be knocked off their pedestal in my eyes. Just too much of my childhood and emotional well-being wrapped up in these beautiful bundles we call N64 cartridges.

It's hard for me to be objective about this game. I played it properly for the first time in 2000 when I bought a used N64 with allowance money. I remember that at that time, and at that age the game felt like a sandbox full of possibilities and secrets. I probably spent countless hours just exploring the world, finding hidden areas, and doing sidequests. These days it's a hard game to go back to because I know it so well. I've sorta optimized the fun out, and had done so long ago. I know where to find things, which things are necessary for completion, and glitches and exploits to make the game easier. I can't see it with fresh eyes anymore. I think the game probably holds up in a lot of ways, but it's more notable for its impact on the industry than where it stands today removed from that context. It's a good game, and an important game, but not a perfect game or some unreachable benchmark of quality.

I agree 100%. If anything I feel like OoT is more of a benchmark for gaming in today’s standards, as it was able to accomplish so much with the limitations the N64 had.

I'm so sick of ppl complaining abt it being overhyped. What hype lmao its 20+ years old.

@@pianoman7753it was ocarina of time that eroded the Zelda formula, not breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom. Botw felt like such an unfaithful game because a bunch of kids grew up on the wrong formula, the traitorous games, assuming they were what Zelda games always were. If you look at the original game and link to the past, they were some of the most open games in the world at the time. Skip to ocarina of time. Completely and totally linear, without taking advantage of that linearity like most games do. It’s like it’s trying to trick you into thinking it’s open, just a cheap way to fill up the game with nonsense. The intention is to get you to explore every square inch of the map, so the developers didn’t have to make a big game for it to feel big. The result is a bunch of nostalgia blinded no life’s proclaiming to the whole world that it’s the best game of all time, when in fact its specific game design aged particularly horribly compared to other 5th generation games. I would rather play Mario 64, which aged quite well for a 5th generation game. (Although it has still aged)

@Twilightprince491 2 месяца назад

@minecrafter3448 Literally every Zelda game other than the 1st and Zelda 2 are linear. Oot didn't erode the formula it took the existing formula and translated it into 3d as the 1st 3d game in the series. The only part of the game design that aged poorly was the water temple. How does the game design age poorly when the blueprint for 3d combat and general gameplay is still being used in 3d action titles? Hell even botw uses what Oot started and if anything eroded the formula it was botw and totk. Ppl scream linearity yet forget the main criticism botw gets for being open being how lame the dungeons are in both titles. You keep saying the 5th Gen games have aged, no shit they came out in the 90s and it's aged better than titles that came out within the last 5 yrs. Also Mario 64 is a mindless platformer, it's turn your brain off fun and Mario in general appeals to more ppl for this reason, weird takes dude.

Great job on the video. I am someone who played this game shortly after its original release, and have also played it several times afterwards. It is a very special game not only for the nostalgia prisoners such as myself, but also to anyone willing to dive fully into the experience. In my opinion, it is best played without a guide, without cheats, in it's original form (no remasters), and without a set schedule. As you so thoughtfully highlighted in your video, a lot of the charm that makes the game so special are the environments, the characters, the vibe, and the music. If you're rushing through the game just trying to beat it, going from A to B as fast as possible, you will miss a lot of this, or experience it in a different context than if you just take your time and have fun. Yes you will get stuck, yes you will get frustrated, but that was just as much of a part of it as everything else.

But I do acknowledge it as very impactful and its addition to the pool left one of the largest ripples we've seen, hell, even Demons Souls and its children were based on OoTs gameplay. I personally find that LttP and MM are better, more fulfilling games with more replay value, but everyone gets different things from these games and theres nothing wrong with saying OoT is your favorite Zelda or game in general for any reason, game is still leagues better than BotW 1 and 2, by far.

It’s an old, archaic game, but there is no denying its impact. Personally, I beat the game for the first time last year on my third play through attempt. It is now my personal favorite game.

@awakenedcrowl Месяц назад

58:25 This likely wasn't intended back then, but I just realized how TotK's "restoration of the Master Sword" with Zelda's Powers over Time MIGHT just be the reason the Master Sword had the power to make you or others travel through time later on. After all, it was directly regenerated WITH Zeldas "Divine Dragon Body", that had power over time. It didn't show that power in Skyward Sword, which, if I get it right, is still the ONE game chronologically before ToTK. And later, in OoT and Wind Waker, it showed to have that power. It also didn't show a time travel power in many later games, but maybe it still POSESSED that power in those. Just a little idea.

Back then the minigames were far more enticing and intriguing. Compare it to Red Dead Redemption where people ranted and raved about how cool all of the immersive cowboy mini-games were... The game frequently encourages you to engage in side content, get lost in the freedom of the "open" world. One of my core memories after watching my brothers play was me just constantly practicing the minigames to be as good or better than them. But I don't think it was necessarily the element of competition that drove those minigames for me. Back then, my favorite game was Megaman Zero. Nowadays, I can barely endure a few levels of that game due to the trial and error design. Basically, OoT for its time bridged the gap and laid the groundwork in people's minds to come to the games of today where people can engage in the story first and foremost and be satisfied with simply that.

@WolvesBaseballNine 2 месяца назад

Just played it and completed it again after about a decade a few days ago. Other than the dreaded water temple(lol) I had no real quarrels or complaints with the game. It's controls can use some refinement, but they are still more than adequate to do everything the game asks of you. The duels with Dark Link, Stalfos, Wolves, Lizalfos and Gerudo guards all boil down to spacing, footsies, and timing your hits. You can also use Din's fire, and a well timed Deku Nut also opens them up to a jump attack if they get stunned. Really the flying enemies are the toughest enemies to kill without getting hit sometimes since they just kamikaze into you lol, but I've seen players just quickly spin attack to deal with them effectively, so I just suck eggs. A lot of people complain about how linear the game is, but in reality you can do quite a bit of sequence breaking in this game. It's possible to get the Biggoron sword before you even get the hookshot I heard lol, and on my last playthru, i went and got the Ice arrows before going into the Shadow Temple since I saw how effective they are at dealing with Bongo Bongo. You can also do the first three adult temples in any order you want. The game will guide you a certain way, but it doesn't force you to go that way. Theres still player freedom, just like in A Link to the Past where it's possible to get the Orange Sword after getting the Magic hammer in the first Dark World dungeon. This game even tho it's over 25 years old as of this comment absolutely still holds up, especially if you play it with quality of life mods to iron out some of it's minor kinks and blemishes. It's timeless. It's something i thought of over a decade ago when i first played it, and that statement still remains true for me personally. I hope every gamer out there plays this iconic masterpiece so they can also share with us their tales and read some of the most heartwarming experiences this game has produced for others.

Solid vid, and it's a ground-breaking game... On the other hand, I just played through completely, and I'm left feeling slightly disappointed in the game, plus disappointed that RU-vid videos seem so monolithically positive about it. (Plus I can't knock the hustle, but I can't believe that it's so popular for RU-vidrs to just recap the entire game!) Which is all fine, but myself, I don't feel it's a perfect masterpiece of a videogame, or a perfect analogy of growing up, etc. What I do agree is that it was probably the perfect game for a kid to grow up with: Cozy natural environments, great music, practically endless gameplay. It's great that there's tons of safe spaces that Link can stand and let the game keep running indefinitely, to enjoy the environments & music. But I do wish the environments were a little better. Link's village is probably the best environment to hang out, in the entire game! Most places are subject to day/night cycle and music changing, so you can't really just leave it on a waterfall most of the time, you'll keep hearing the rooster crow and overworld music, half the time. Environments could have been more. There's no way to have it just rain without constantly hearing thunder every few seconds, AFAIK. Kokiri Village music is lovely but you can't stop hearing cows and chickens, lol, so Super Nintendo has the better version of the same song. Whatever, but also, traditional RPG's usually have more of a flow, and more of a reading element (plus more characters, etc.). I think a more compelling series is Ecco the Dolphin, albeit a dead series now, and on Dreamcast, I think it's the best nature graphics of any videogame ever. Ocarina of Time is great but it leaves me feeling let-down, and just wanting to go outside in real nature (or use Google Earth to wander around somewhere lol).
