Those WEIRD little spots in Ocarina of Time | Video Game World Tours 

I always imagined the carving on the root of Links treehouse was something he made himself. He was the one Kokiri who was always a little different from the rest, and while his neighbors were content to live out their serene life in the forest, he dreamed of adventure and making a name for himself.

This series just hits different

I believe the tools in the kokiri houses were meant to hint at how their houses are literal carved out trees. The shop is a very obvious stump shape. I think those trees were seeded by the great deku tree himself, though that is more my headcanon than anything official I know of. They're a very secluded bunch like the Gerudo, so it makes sense for them to also have some sustainable food source.

I love this series a lot. The thing that sets it apart from simply picking apart how well a game world emulates reality through its mechanics, is the emphasis on player immersion and the emotions the developers can potentially evoke from them. Being able to articulate this so well demonstrates very impressive emotional intelligence.

You are going to the big leagues soon, son. Just keep the good job and keep your content unique like that. I really want to see you as a great content creator on this platform.

8:25 that's not a regular Fairy that's a Fat Fairy they fully restore all your hearts AND magic they're rare and only appear in certain areas like that one

These videos are just so cosy. I never really got to play Nintendo games as a kid and I'm really loving these tours through worlds that are kind of familiar but still new to me. Your narration and editing are so chill.

What an awesome little secret behind the Great Deku Tree. I never knew about that!

Link's house is odd. If you look at the view through link's window, it does not seem to match what you see outside... The view most closely resembles the tall tree trunks around the bridge that connects kokiri forest to hyrule field, suggesting that link's house was placed away from the main village. The agricultural tools retroactively make more sense when/if you obtain the "easter egg" reward (a cow) from lon lon ranch horse race time trial in the future that malon delivers to your house (not sure how malon knew where your house is), but it does not explain why the tools were already there long before that.

This was amazing! I’ve always been fascinated by weird areas in video games, and the strange aura that comes with them. I’ll definitely be binging this series.

Your videos bring to mind all the ideas and feelings i had about all those old ps2 games like final fantasy and jak and Dexter etc, you've done an amazing job with these videos man. I haven't ever had the words to describe my thoughts on those games and their vibe. I was only like 5 or 6 but ill never forget the memories i made w my family on our snes and ps2, absolutely timeless works with unmatched aesthetics.

My favorite little cozy area on Ocarina is the fishing pond by far.

I know this is an old video, but I'm just gonna chime in a bit about Kokiri Forest - it's extremely unlikely they have contact with other settlements, for two reasons. For one, they're not really supposed to leave the forest - the other Kokiri make a big deal of Link leaving the forest at the start of the game. Going the other direction, people who enter the Lost Woods turn in to either Stalfos if they're adults, or Skull Kids if they're children. It's a little unclear if this only applies to the area that's literally called "Lost Woods" in game, or the whole forest. Presumably, the reason Link is fine despite living there is due to having the spirit of the hero and/or the Triforce of Courage. It should also be said that the Kokiri are forest spirits. By the time of Wind Waker, they've changed into Koroks, but unlike the Zora, it is never explicitly stated that they "evolved." So, while this *would* be a retcon, there is a distinct possibiliy that the Koroks already existed before the time of Ocarina of Time, but when Link's mother arrived in the Lost Woods while fleeing conflict with her baby, the Deku Tree decided that it would be best for the Koroks to take on a form that more closely resembles that of Link himself, so that he wouldn't grow up feeling alone, and dubbed them "Kokiri." So while they certainly still have to eat and stuff, them being magical beings of the forest (whether they're Koroks that transformed, or whether Kokiri are a separate thing), I think it stands to reason that the forest holds all that they need in order to survive. Of course, that may not have proven true for long if Link didn't stop Ganondorf, since he seemingly used some sort of dark magic to poison the Deku Tree. That sort of tracks, since in A Link to the Past or any of the following games, there's no real evidence of living Kokiri. But in the intermittent state that Kokiri Forest is in during the events of Ocarina of time, I don't see it being a huge issue for them that they're sort of cut off from the rest of the world. (I really hope none of this came across as "ummm, actually here's why you're wrong," that was very much not my intention, the Zelda series is just one of my many hyperfixations, this comment is all meant in good fun!)

I've never played any Zelda games but you did a great job showing the atmospehere of the game! Thank you so much for another great video, I love watching them when I'm stressed because they calm me down quite easily!

I distinctly remember playing around with the dogs in Hyrule castle market at night

The carving on Links' house helped little me defeat King Dodongo.

4:45 that’s actually untrue. He does return the Kokiri sword! The sword in MM is called the “Hero’s Sword”

I love the vibe the Kokkiri Forest has. I loved just hanging out here and there and exploring all the corners to see what else of interest I could find. I also love just staring at the canyons in Metroid Prime 2 Echoes. I love the art direction of that game. Also just watching the vistas in Xenoblade. Playing it on an emulator and setting the resolution to 1080p makes the art style really sell its beauty. OH GOD, I'M A TOURIST!

I really love this series and wish you a lot of success

15:01 Just finished replaying this yesterday and I gave my flatmate a whole speech about how cosy that wee area in the cow shed was!

14:37 I agree I never been that much of a Zelda fan but this place is by far the best part of the game or even the series. I wish fishing games would be as this enjoyable.

Aww love these series. So comfy and nostalgic

To me, Jabu Jabu's Belly (and similar videogame levels taking place inside tunnels of living, pulsating flesh or any scene in a cartoon where characters get swallowed and travel through the inside of a body) has a _cozy_ vibe. Were it not for all the deadly hazards, most of them seeming to be a combination of parasitic infection and Ganon's curse, I'd be right there with Ruto that it seems like a great spot to hang out.

Cool Videos! I've been watching your Zelda themed vids. I remember the first time I saw the very first 1986 Zelda it blew my mind. It was miles above anything else available at the time. It was in a class of it's own. 37 years later BotW and the upcoming TotK have both given me that same feeling. Wow what am I looking at?!?! Big nod to Ocarina of Time. Epona! You really got my nostalgia flowing even more! After thought, I suppose the thing that really hooks me with Zelda games is that they have heart. Real heart with a pervasive spirituality toward all things good.

I love how you question the logic of some things in the game, such as the ever moving boulder, but you don’t linger too long on things :)

The tree carving on Link's house may possibly resemble mario fighting bowser. There's even what looks like a fireball on top!

It's king dodongo, link has constant dreams of the future. Hence the opening cinematic hehe. Just fyi.

I was scared of those flying pineapples as a kid as well lol What a great video.

Really relaxing video my man, you have a great style!

Great observation on the farming tools. I do recall noticing them my first time playing.

The spot that weirded me out was the section with the grotto with that deep pond with the tektite on top. Something about that area was uncanny and bizarre. Maybe the bits of the castle it shows freaked me out. Like a gate that is intimidating because of its height and width.

maybe the drawing on the tree(house) is Dodongo, from one of Links dreams. I never saw the cave (@ end of video)

how the hell do you not have 300k subs yet these videos are so engaging, well edited, AND well scripted

14:35 i distinctly remember this area being far more vegetated.

You ask why is there hay in the house. The reason is probably to feed the cow. Later on in the game you can unlock a cow in your house.

I can’t believe he just doxxed Mido like that, but I also can’t say it’s not deserved.

I have a sort of explanation for the 'Rainbow Grotto' in the Sacred Forest Meadow. That room is all that remains of the scrapped 'Temple of Light' we were supposed to go through in OoT's unmade expansion Ura Zelda for the N64 DD. (Which phailed miserably)

I thought about the day and night cycle the same way ! Nice to see somebody else put this idea into a video ! It will be nice to see the next episode !

Wow. All these years later, and I never even thought of Walking up. the tree root to walk around the barrier 6:00

I assume the statue in the Castle Courtyard is the king surrounded by the sages/other tribes? As he's taller, surrounded by a group of smaller people, and OoT king apparently reunified the kingdom after a civil war?

god i cant wait for your channel to blow up so we can get more of this content. i’m absolutely loving it

Honestly your content is incredibly high effort and high quality, especially for a smaller content creator. Keep it up you legend.

This series is wonderful, really enjoyed this one!

bro idk how i got here but it's comfy, ngl

I like how he called Peahats as "Pineapple Dudes."

The Great King Ganondorf got rid of those pineapples - say thank you!

i actually didn't know much about ocarina of time til I watched this c:

11:35-11:40 Peak comedy This sends me into a fit of laughter every time

15:24 in my whole life playing this game, I never knew that spot existed!!

Please do a video about Luigi's Mansion and mention on how "liminal" it is when taking a step back and how nonsensical and weird the house layout is.

You should do a world tour on multiplayer shooter maps! Old COD and Halo games have got some vibes going when no one else is around. (Halo CE especially)

The windmill is titled "?" because it's the same area as Dampe's grave. Each area can only have one title - I'm not sure if they went with the question mark because Dampe's grave was supposed to be a mysterious, unknown location and the windmill was just collateral damage, or if it was just because they didn't want to give either room an inaccurate title.

The hay in Link’s house is for the cow you can get in the game!

Watching this after spending years watching terminal montage makes this hit differently

Love these videos, glad I found the channel

Amnesia the dark descent could be a nice addition to the video game world tour series 👍

I just love how you call the flying peahats Pinapples!

Omg, watching this i remembered as a kid finding these "spots" in Harry Potter I and II for PC. Design of these games is inspired by Zelda games, so it would be cool, if you made a video about spots in them someday.

Of course not, they know their actions are controlled by Control Stick movements and button presses. Remember the girl on the shop overhang who teaches you how to use a fairy? And that's a thing that only continues with later entries: Sue-Belle from Wind Waker tells you what button to press to pick up and set down pots so you can tell your sister, while Jaggle from Twilight Princess wants you to tell his kids to hold L and press A to talk to people from a distance, because they don't get it. (But they do know the controls for using the Slingshot and sword moves.)

I didn’t know there was more than 1 pineapple dude in hyrule field. I’ve never gon that way on the start of the game

Even as a huge zelda fan i have never seen or heard anything about that "oil slick" room. Are there any items you get there? Has anyone ever made a theory on why it looks like that?

Shin Megami Tensei actually is not really an oldschool dungeon crawler. Its based on european rpg computer games from the 80s. Those were the oldschool ones.

I look forward to the second part! This series is so great, and this is one of my favorite games ever! Keep up the great work!! (^u^)

Kokiri is a giant treehouse

Sneaky object at 13:49

Interesting take on the 'Unremarkable and odd places in OoT' idea from Any Austin.

So that farry is actually different. The puff ball is bigger and it has an additional effect. I think it restores your magic meeter too.

Underrated af channel

i've never seen that last room in my life what on earth

First time through a game I always take my time dicking around. Notice things like this. But then you replay a game and you're in gamer mode and roll/sprint past shit and skip cutscenes. It's like a metaphor for growing up. As a child you don't prioritize the way you do as an adult so you spend/waste time on things that don't "need" the time. But as an adult you waste your time on things you hate out of obligation or "need" like the need to pay rent or eat...

You make content I never knew I wanted and it’s great

It would be low key lit to collaborate with a cut content expert. I bet ya many of these spooky areas are cut content areas!!-

Love your style! Keep it up :)

Comfy

I remember always trying to enter Hyrule Castle from the front. The actual interior we never get to see always had me wondering how it wold look. Do you think it would look like Link to the Pasts version?

I love this series

Bro casually doxxed mido

Uh Any Austin?? you know theres a youtuber that has been doing this for a little bit already right?

I really hope you do all dungeons, and maybe do another episode on lordran!

Does anyone know what that weird underground grotto at the end looks like in the 3DS version?

Great video 🤗

How do you freely move the camera around, is there some kind of mod/AR code? I want to get some footage for a video but not sure how. Also, do you get any ad revenue from this video? I'm worried about making anything with Nintendo content and it getting copyright claimed immediately. (Not a RU-vidr yet, I'm still learning how)

3:45 That is absolutely a reference to Link fighting the 2D bosses.

best content out😊

nice

someone else think elder scrolls series(Morrowind,Oblivion,Skyrim) would fit in the series?

missed opportunity to also show the reimagined scenes and locations from the 3ds remake side by side

His name is link, not zelda😩

The Waffle House has found its new host

That last grotto was jarring to me. Never knew about it. Extremely surreal, gave me similar vibes as the scrapped Pegasus fountain

> walks upon Ganon Castle > "I never realized how doom and gloom this all is" LMAO WHAT

Really enjoy the content, just not sure why you insist on speaking like you intend to entertain small children

Speaking of open worlds being shrunken down, I always thought it was funny how the gang in Red Dead 2 hangs out twenty yards out of town and thinks they're laying low. The sheriff can hear your arguments from his office!

your videos always have such a welcoming and comfortable vibe to them. thanks for the upload ^_^

Reminds me when I was a kid. The only N64 games I had was; this game, Mario 64 and Goldeneye. I used to stop and smell ALL the roses.

Can someone explain what the arrows in the thumbnail are pointing at?

He does return the sword actually, the one he has at the start of MM is different. Also I think the drawing might be King Dodongo, but idk how that can be if it's there before the game even starts.

15:46 "This cave is not a natural formation: someone built this."

I only discovered your channel earlier today and I can't believe you don't have more subs and views then you do. your content is so well done. Keep up the great work.

how is my man not at 100k subs yet
