The bunny hood trick to repel stalchildren works in real life too. I've tested it out. I always wear one when I go out at night and I've never ONCE seen a skeleton pop out of the ground!

I played Ocarina Of Time so many times and yet I never knew half of these.

20 years in, and I’m still finding secrets! Love this game so much

I think the windmill is "cold" because it's technically an extension of Dampé's grave

When I was a kid playing OOT for the first time back in the day, I was in the windmill and Link was sneezing. My dad (who was watching) told me that I "Had a cold and needed medicine" and that I had to go to the town and buy some". I told him I was too scared of going back into the field at night, and he told me he'd return the game unless I did. What a weird scenario that was, looking back.

God, I am always so impressed by the amount of character link had in that game JUST by some simple animations.

All of these small details are evidence of how on fire the development team were when making it. You can't do this without being obsessed, inspired, dedicated and in love with the thing you're creating. It's a work of the absolute highest order.

Some of these were pretty interesting that I didn't know. Also, sure, Link can sneeze when in cold areas but on the flipside, in hot areas such as Death Mountain Crater/ Fire Temple, Link can wipe sweat off his face

Another cool piece of information I found out lately is that Bongo Bongo is weak to Ice Arrows. If you shoot one of his hands with one it freezes and he tries to break the ice off with his other hand. Makes the fight a bit easier and it's a bit cool to see an actual usage for Ice Arrows since generally speaking they aren't all that good.

Regarding the Goron Tunic and its extra protective properties, this also applies to spike floors, like the ones in the Water and Shadow Temples

You can actually hookshot onto Ganondorf in his boss fight. You don’t have to run over to him.

The tunic color with the Gerurdo Warrior also applies to randomized colors

Fun fact: hyrule field theme is adaptive depending on what we do, for example, if we don't move, the music becomes calm and peaceful, if we are on horseback or if we walk, it will be a happy song, and if we are in death mountain or in battle the theme will be danger (I don't mean the normal battle theme, but the battle theme that Hyrule field has)

You can beat Ocarina of Time, but definitely you never "complete" the game. Even 23 years later, there's always something new.

Link assumes the damaged pose from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link when hit by Shaboms and Spike Traps. Also, Dark Link assumes this pose when hit.

Wow. I've played this game since I was 5 and I'm 21 now. I'm astonished at the detail of this game, still finding out things I had no idea about. Ocarina of time really is a masterpiece

This really just further proves that this game is absolutely amazing. The passion and effort put on by the devs while making this game are extremely rare in videogames.

if you want to kill bosses/enemys even faster: the shield stab (hold shield and then attack) has no attack value set to it - so it just takes the last attack value you did - meaning: if you did a mastersword spinattack or jump attack then EVERY hit of the crouch stab deals that same amount of dmg - but its obviously MUCH faster and spammable than doing a lot of spin attacks in a row

Being a programmer myself, I can speculate on how the blue fire is able to break bombable walls. Many things in this game actually only have 3-4 properties as far as damage goes. Bombs are a notable example of this, because of their utility outside of battle. The Hammer is another example of something that shares a few of those damage attributes, as it can ALSO break bombable walls, and it can open bomb grottos and destroy bombable rocks. My theory is that the blue fire, much like the hammer, shares these traits in common with bombs to keep programming how they deal damage to things easy. I'd love to know whether the blue fire can open bomb grottos, because if it can, that pretty much proves that it shares every attribute with bombs, except maybe being able to damage enemies. As far as the gerudo clothes changing colors, that's actually pretty simple to explain; they use the same color pallete that link uses, at least as far as their clothes go.

I've always been fond of the inexplicable alcove behind the waterfall, I remember discovering it by accident back in 1998.

I have watched many many ocarina secret vids, and yet in this one I still discovered numerous fresh things. Brilliant, what a spectacular game, so far ahead of its time.

This game is legendary. So expressive and detailed! And it was in the end DOWNSIZED from it's original form (beta and ura content)

5:48 this is probably due to just retexturing lava to use for the water

I've been playing this game for over 20 years, and I had no idea. That's so cool. Nintendo really went all-out for the details in Ocarina of Time.

This really goes to show how much detail went into this game, it deserves to be called one of the best games of all time! Good work

The spin attack killing ganandorf is something I never knew. Also the red tunic resisting poison water.

4:48 I learned this the hard way when I beat the game with 3 hearts. I was in that room in the Spirit Temple and cast it thinking it'd kill them. It didn't. Just made them spicy. And then I lost my shield. And then I died. Keese are the worst in a 3 heart run.

I never knew hearing Link sneeze would be something I needed to see in my life. 😊 I didn't know about the blue flames destroying the breakable walls, Phantom Ganon's laugh, or Link sneezing (but I knew he shivered).

I knew a few of these, but the Morpha battle, and Ganondorf spin attack were really satisfying to watch. 👍🏻

0:30 this is helpful in the Gold Quest ROMHACK

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the reason that blue flames destroy breakable walls is that they share the same base property as red ice

The most surprising one I didn't know about was the blue fire thing with the bomb walls... like who would ever do that you get blue fire so much later than you get access to bombs

It’s seems the OOT secrets are endless. I never stop finding them after over 20 years of playing this game. Timeless

The bosses in oot were all pretty easy,but each one was worth defeating the intended way because the music pacing and everything about the boss battles just feel epic lol

This is SO well edited, all the clips have the necessary length, everything flows together - well done!

I remember playing this recently and randomly doing the spin attack for every boss. It’s amazing because we’d never think of that as a kid.

Can’t believe I still learn stuff about this game after all those years, amazing work!

man, stuff like this really brings to attention how much love and care was put into this game

The attention to detail in this game is absolutely stunning.

#16 - The text box ignites when using Din's Fire (Nice detail there).

I remember seeing #11 as a kid... I thought the Keese was suicidal at first or something, and it blew my mind when it reignited. Kinda makes you wonder what's on them that does that

Over 20 years later still figuring out things about this game... amazing

Really weird, but really cool that the blue flames destory those walls. Wonder if it was a glitch or intentional. Either way, it's always really cool to learn new things about this game!

I’ve played this game my entire life, and the only thing I knew I COULD do was walk on lava/fire with the Goron tunic. But you still blew my mind showing that you could technically walk on it at all times when you jump (I didn’t know that) along with the poisonous water. Decades later, us fans still find something new about Ocarina of Time, and to me, that is truly special

I knew most of the things in this video except for the fact that Din’s Fire does anything against Morpha and I didn’t know was shooting those spots on Hyrule Castle dropped 20 rupees lmao. You got me there! I guess Din’s fire is the last thing you’d think to use against a water boss lol. Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone get the 20 rupees on Hyrule Castle before. Always just got the one that you can get by climbing the chain on the Castle Town bridge. I had forgotten about the whole blue fire working on bombable walls thing until you reminded me though. I guess it’s just because it’s useless unless you run out of bombs which, most of the time when that happens you won’t have blue fire just sitting in your inventory lol. I feel like most people never use blue fire outside of the Ice Cavern and unfreezing King Zora/The Zora Shop. Even then, who actually ever unfreezes the Zora shop? It’s like the most useless shop in the game lol. Unless you fail to kill a Like-like that steals your Zora Tunic, which pretty much never happens lol. I also forgot about the heart behind the lavafall but, that’s also because it’s almost useless.

iirc, keese can also rekindle themselves into ice-keese using the blue flame.

The textbox burning when din's fire was used was a pretty neat touch

7:22 This is satisfying af when you are used to the lag that occurs there on the N64 due to many light particles

3:39 i love this detail. it explains how the running man doesnt get attacked by zombies. its un nessisary but so good. side note i appriciate that the bunny hood was brought back to majoras mask and improved upon.

3:26 When I was younger, I used to think that the bunny hood prevented the stalchildren from rising up because they thought Link was a rabbit pattering about on the fields instead of a live human being wandering all alone at night.

Another neat trick at 7:28 is That when he Gathers the light (small blackhole above him) if You have a Charged Spin Attack and release it as the light beams about to hit. Then release charged Spin, They will hit Ganon and you just need to follow-up with a light Arrow on him.

My main take away from this is that OoT Link has an adorable sneeze?? Love that heheh

some other facts not covered (at least a few that I know of there's probably a bunch of hidden cool detail stuff out there) but for one I think if you wear the skull mask, keese no longer attack Link. The other is that you can use ice arrows to freeze bongo bongo's hands stunning him as he tries to smash the frozen hand open. This can be a good way to take down the boss as his eye will open when this happens without needing to hit both hands with an arrow, just one of them.

1:31 he's sneezing fit?

#3 1:10 THAT'S FLARE DANCER'S LAUGH!!! #5 I knew I didn't dream this up! That scared me as a child! #7 I had no idea about this and I always assumed the Thieves you fight wore red which matched the setting very well...because I was always wearing the Red Tunic during the Gerudo levels because fit the setting well. XD #8 YOU MEAN THIIS WHOLE TIME WHEN I WAS TERRIFIED AS A CHILD BEING IN HYRULE FIELD AT NIGHT I COULD HAVE-......Also staying on the path is a nice subtle nod to Zelda II. #9 Fire beats water? Steam? Okay interesting #10 I knew that about the Iron Boots and I loved it. #11 I remember I discovered this with Din's Fire and was thoroughly upset with myself XD. Also most people probably notice Keese kindle themselves. I was always stressed to kill them as quick as possible whenever a torch was also in the room. #12 Interesting that the hidden timer for being on walkable magma resets when you jump, that's probably a developer oversight. Also I guess the poison floor had the same properties in development. #14 I knew this through the original Brady Games strategy guide (which I still own!) which is a very interesting Easter egg but makes a lot of sense. #15 I'm actually disappointed you didn't add something cool about the Ganondorf battle. And no I'm not talking about the bottle trick. When Ganondorf collects a black ball of energy to throw a slew of homing electric balls at you, most people boringly shoot him with a light arrow before he's even half way through charging. But when I played I didn't know you could do that, thus discovered on my own that you can actually charge up your spin attack at that point and throw them all back at him. You got a time it right and then hit him with a light arrow. Much more satisfying and it makes me upset when I dont see other gamers do this as well.

For #7, the Gerudo’s clothes will also match a pulled bomb or bombchu, blinking black and red until it explodes.

This is pretty cool! I think some other things to also mention is that if you get the Zora Tunic First, when you rescue King Zora, he gives you a kiss instead haha. And Also if you use the Ice Arrow against Bongo Bongo, its hand freezes and it punches it with the other one to shatter it free.

your videos are the best! you guys highlight details that often get overlooked and teach something new. i love it,, keep it up :)

3:14 I wish I knew this as a child...When OOT first came out I was so afraid of the stalchildren that I'd stay in Kokiri Forest for so long until I mustered up the courage to roll across Hyrule field as fast as I could to the drawbridge. If I didn't make it in time I'd stand on the path until morning so I wouldn't see them. Though, the bunny hood isn't going to help you at the beginning of the game obviously since you don't have it, but. Yeah. Dang.

5:43 it works for spikes too! almost everything that link can stand on and take damage is retextured lava

Here’s another interesting tidbit you could put in another video; by equipping the hover boots in the haunted wasteland you can actually walk across the river of sand without sinking, granted you can’t use the roll action but very interesting nonetheless.

I've been playing this game for 23 years and I only new about 7 of these. Insane haha

The Fire Keese one kind of stands out as info that doesn't seem like it's meant to be obscure or secret at all. Like the room where they give the example almost seems set up to work that way. And I reckon most people have seen Keese flying into torches before. It's a pretty open element of the game.

Other masks have unique abilities besides the Bunny Hood. The Skull Mask prevents keese from targeting you, and the Spooky Mask glows at night.

1:44 - What does sneezing have to do with feeling cold?

2:42 I noticed that too! Even when enabling the extra tunic color cheat code, the Gerudo’s clothes also changes color! I find it so weird that her clothes changes whenever you change from tunic to tunic lol

this is my all time fav game. Remember obsessing over it as a young boy 3-5 years old and then later on replaying it many times and I didnt know more than half of these details! Amazing video and its great to see the intricate details put into this game. I will forever cherish it.

I love the little details you add to the videos, talking about using Din's fire on the Keese then having the text box crackle away in flames.. just a nice touch! 🔥 Always great to watch these!

I don’t know at least half of these things! Thanks for this video. So cool to learn new details about this game!

This is so awesome! Your videos are always so interesting! Please do more for Ocarina of Time if there's anymore you can find! Majoras Mask would also be super interesting.

I knew some of these (Windmill being cold, roads being safe at night, Iron Boot sounds, the Keese thing, and the Song of Storms desert thing) but the rest were new to me. Really interesting video.

I knew of all but 2; the blue fire breaking damaged walls... and the spin attacks. I never even considered to use the rotated stick spin attacks. I'm gonna have to try that one!

I've been replaying this game since it first came out, and I never knew about these secrets, what an awesome game

6:45, amazing

These videos are so well-edited. I don't normally comment about such things on videos, but these just really stood out as exceptional to me. Nice job and thanks for all the obscure little facts. 😊

I think this was the first list of trivia facts about a game I'm intimately familiar with where every single one was totally new to me. Awesome work compiling together some obscure and fascinating tidbits about this classic!

20 years of OoT and there stuff yet to be discovered ... amazing as always, out of these, the ones i didn't know was the Blue Fire on walls and Din's Fire against Morpha; the spin attack slipped cuz i always use Biggoron Sword crouch glitch (Z + A, R + B) which kills some bosses in 3-5 hits

It baffles me how these small things are hard to implement in Modern Gaming.

Wow i genuinely learned a thing or two. So many of these type of videos are things anybody knows from playing the game through a couple times. But there were several things here i didn't know. Nice work! 😎👍

I'm an expert of Ocarina of Time for many years since original release, and a few of them, I never knew till now! #7 is classic cartridge limitations. Many 1970-1990s games do that. Whenever something shares the same palette, the others swap the same way! Lol

How can there still be stuff I didn't know? How can this game be so detailed?

I've been playing it again recently, and I also discovered Din's Fire melts Morpha's tentacles. But some of these I've always known. The Gerudo changing her clothes to match Link, the Iron Boot sounds, the Goron Tunic protection, the sneezes, the Song of Storms in the Haunted Wasteland, and damage from the Running Man. I also saw a video about some of these, but I didn't know about the Blue Fire destroying bomb-able walls.

Wow, I didn’t know a lot of these! You did an amazing job, so I hope to see more like this 😌❤️

This is a fantastic video! So may of these I have never seen or knew about before. Thank you for sharing this us all.

1:49 i love the sound when young link sneezes

I believe most masks have some kind of special effect. Keaton Mask - Grants Link free access to Death Mountain Skull Mask - Prevents Keese from attacking Link Spooky Mask - Glows in the dark Bunny Hood - Prevents Stalchildren from spawning at night Mask of Truth - Allows Link to read Gossip Stones' minds

This list is amazing! Many things I didn't know!! I played basically every release of OoT in every plataform but still didn't know everything. Amazing!

That intro so fun ! Liked just for that. Did not know that there were so many small details in the game! Please do Majora's Mask as well.

We need to find out what happened after Majoras. This was definitely the best story ever. Did he ever find Navi?

How you STILL managed to find things I don't know about this game is mind-blowing. I swear I've got a Master's Degree in KZfaq video knowledge on OOT. Thanks for the PhD!

Wow this is one of the 1st videos where it lists things I had no idea about, and I've thought I heard all of them! Good video.

Ok, I'm impressed. A couple of these I did know, but most of them I didn't, and I've been playing this game for years! Thank you for sharing this!

Man, I absolutely loved this game as a kid and played it over many times, I never knew about most of these!

Love how he makes his fighting sound when opening a bottle

Even with all the times I’ve played Ocarina of Time and watched many OOT videos, I really learned a lot from this video! Thanks!

I knew a lot of these but blue fire to melt bombwalls was new, Glad to learn new stuff!

The sneeze, I never stood still in the ice cavern to see that nor the grave/ windmill, I kinda consider myself an OOT EXPERT too. Really cool stuff

Expertly executed gameplay, might I say. It was a joy to watch. Such interesting little details as well!

Many good details I didn't know. I absolutely love this game. And I remember doing the Spin Attack back in N64 or GC, even 3DS, could mean breaking your Stick... If used too often. Which I didn't do.

Such a deep game, so much detail. Paved the way for a lot of great games that came after it's release.
