For some reason, Ruto's extra eyes moving into her head as she ages is a lot more disturbing to me than her just having four eyes.

Ruto being a hammerhead shark is *awesome* and blew my mind. I always wondered why her head looked like that, and I finally understand why BoTW has shark zoras. I've always seen the previous versions as being a mix of fish and dolphin, so it seemed like a big shift in their design. Funny to learn it was actually referencing such a well known character!

dang, no wonder everyone sees link as a shining light in the dark. he's got a skybox around him and only him at all times

I feel bad for that kid turning into a skull kid, between Link's childhood and adulthood. I'm guessing his father went missing during Ganondorf's coup, and due to his fascination with the macabre, that probably lead the kid to even think of searching the Lost Woods.

The guards are like: “yeah I know I see him, but that dang rooster hasn’t crowed yet”

It's been 25 years, and I'm STILL learning new things about this game. Insane.

I always assumed Ruto's extra eyes were fake, like an angel fish. Of course, considering that she no longer has them as an adult, it seems reasonable that they were vestigial to begin with.

I would have never thought those were eyes, I always thought they were earrings if anything. Now that he said "It's like a hammerhead shark biting a kid's head" I totally see it! I'm afraid I can never unsee it lol

The kid turned into a skull kid!? Poor guy, I always imagined he turned into Dampe for some reason just because he's always lurking around in the cemetery like that kid used to.

Both N64 Zeldas are masterpices in every single way. Incredible

The fact that a magazine took the time to ask Koizumi why an obscure character doesn't appear in the adult timeline makes me wonder what else they asked him?

The extra eyes are probably a defensive feature in Zora children. Either they're just eye spots used for intimidation or misdirection or they're real and they expand her field of vision. Either way, once she grew up she had no need for them, so they either faded away or either atrophied or she keeps them closed so that she doesn't creep humans out.

I thought everyone knew about Ruto having four eyes... no one ever talked about it, so I assumed it was common knowledge. Whoops.

If you talk to Malon in the German version wearing the Keaton Mask, she will reference Star Fox by asking if you are Fox McCloud and says that she has heard a lot about you.

The cinematography on these is getting so good. The camera moving through the lost woods at kid height, looking for Dad, is so freaking cool. Great work

It’s amazing that this game is almost 30 and we’re still finding stuff, really says something about he quality

Pretty sure if you try to enter the shop in Kakariko as a child, you get told by the shop owner to go play with their kid in the graveyard.

It is crazy how many masterpieces this franchise contains. Can't wait for the next one on May 12th.

Who never thought that Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time were originally planned to be much like Super Mario 64 by having a Ganon Castle with different rooms and worlds linked together. Boy, I am glad that didn't happen. Unlike The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64 as well as other Super Mario 64 clones (like Banjo and Kazooie) is as good as it is with it's linked world gameplay style.

How have I played this game like 20/30 times and yet I hadn't watch the Stalfo's falling to their knees death animation... Well, not to mention that aside from the skyboxes and that OOT was firstly a Mario 64 type of game, I knew nothing about any of this. This series is amazing, thank you for continuing it!!!

20 videos on Ocarina of Time. Game’s a masterpiece!

Glad to see the Ocarina of Time video!

Funny fact when I was 9 years old playing this for the first time I tried so hard to give the gravekeeper kid the Keaton mask cos I noticed that connection and I thought the guard was asking me to get his son the mask!

You never fail to impress us, keep 'em coming. For the graveyard kid, I guess this negates the theory that he became the poe seller like some peole claim

It's incredible how even today, we can learn things about this game that we didn't even expected to be in. This truly is a masterpiece

Everytime these vids amaze me, just at the sheer detail of the game; stuff I didn’t know for decades despite playing many times

2:35 Man, I'm glad that Miyamoto's original idea didn't end up becoming the game. :D These masterpieces like Ocarina of Time should not be taken for granted! There's multiple factors that could have made it much worse. Although the "Ganon's castle hub world" game would have probably been fun too.

Wow, that skybox is super interesting. Ruto's eyes, though... I could've gone on not knowing that. I never caught that she didn't have them as an adult.

You guys do great work. I've learned a lot about OoT in this channel. That being said, I'd have been happier going my whole life without knowing about the Ruto eyes and the graveyard kid. 😂😂😂

It's still the best Zelda game to this day. Nothing can change my mind

Ruto: "My eyes are up here. … No, up HERE."

I love that I'm still learning new things about this game.

“If you finish it from behind, it will fall on its knees instead” . Makes sense 😅

The camera work on this is amazing. It completely transforms a game ive seen a million times and somehow makes it feel new!

i like how its basically: oh he went into the lost woods and became a skull kid😆

The camera angles are unusually well done for a video like this.

#2 You finally cover it. Ive been sugfesting that since long a go in this series. #4. Another cool detail is that its the dungeon is a proto "open air dungeon". There are sections that reflect the time of the day when youentered the dungeon. This is also seen in desert collosus hands or later in the series in Dragon Roost or Forest Temple in TP. #5 There are other enemy details you shoUld cover. Like when choping an Stachild arm or head. Finally you should pay attention to the game lighting effects. There are details in there that took years for other games to apply.

5:40 i love to "ask my daddy a keaton mask"

I'm glad they didn't have ganon's castle be the only place in the game. That would have been like star wars, having the really interesting parts explained in a single sentence during the opening title crawl

What is more curious is that those holes in the texture resemble eyes... The same image used for her eyes

Holy crap I never knew stalfos had that death animation. You hardly see it seeing as how they're always facing you. Also don't they have a crumple animation aswell? One where they just fall apart?

I kind of want to see a Zelda game in the future that all takes place in one location, and you slowly unlock more of it bit by bit (à la the Temple of the Ocean King, but without all the bits that make it awful). That could be super interesting to play

Finally my favorite series of this channel. Thanks!

I was always told in school by my classmates that I had four eyes, and never understood what they meant. Thanks to this video I now know where to check! Thank you Looygi Bros!😊

I use the light arrows on Stalfos as a quick kill strat in randomizer runs. Depending on if I get ice arrows or them first, that is. It takes one immobilizing arrow and one solid jump attack with BG sword. Tangentially, on the note of speedy kills, it takes 15 bombchu to kill the two iron knuckles in ganon's tower. Just enter the room and spam the bombchus without moving. They will both be defeated before they reach you.

I LOVE THIS GAME, can't say it enough. This is the best series on YT

4:48 Link: My mom with a sandal (Master Sword), ready to whop my dignity Stalfos: Me, trying to get a nightly snack

Wasnt expecting the graveyard kid ends up possibly being a Skull Kid. I always thought both him and his father left Hyrule due to Ganondorf’s reign.

25 year old game and we're still learning new things. The Legend of Zelda series is truly a master class of art. There's so much love and detail given to even the tiniest thing. Nothing is every insignificant

That's both so interesting about the articles I would love a obscure facts video on Zelda games.

I wish I didn't know that Ruto fact lol

So... RIP injured Guard on the Market's backalley

1:45 "GAH! How long have you been standing there?!"

3:33 Can't stop hearing SUAVEMENTEBESAME when I see this room

Brilliant video. Finding that 64Dream article wow

this really put me in the mood to play some more zelda and pay real close attention. : )

Puts Zora's into a new light. 💀

At first, I thought finding out Ruto has four eyes was kind of creepy, but then I realized it's not too dissimilar to one of my own characters, Olvie, a frog-like monster who has two dot eyes on her face, and two frog eyes on her head (the frog eyes being a separate character still part of her called Frog Friend), so then it became un-creepy again.

You put in so much effort into these videos!!! You are awesome!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As a child rutos second pair of eyes also have blinking textures

love it, bring more things about zelda

This was a very cool and well edited video. You've gained a new sub.

your videos are so interesting and professional. I LOVE IT

Lovely camera work!

Wow, your work is incredible❤️‍🔥 Congratulations 👏👏

Yeah they will always be head holes. The 4 eyes doesn’t make too much sense. And if her eyes did go in, doesn’t that mean she constantly see inside her head while seeing with her normal eyes?

What a game, huh. So many details for something coming from the n64.

You can clearly see Ruto has the same hammerhead eyes as child and adult in the OOT artwork though. Additionally, the only 3D model of her where it kind of looks like she has holes in stead of eyes is the original OOT model, and even on that one they kind of look like eyes. Her OOT 3D and Hyrule Warriors models make them look more like eyes. The only thing really pointing towards them being holes is that interview as far as I can tell. So is it possible that there is some sort of translation error, or that he made it up on the spot? Or is it more likely that the original OOT model is the only correct one, and all the others are wrong?

this thread of videos is infinite for sure

Perfect, more holes, exactly what I need.

There's a right way and a wrong way to do a hammerhead shark version of a Zora, the right way is Prince sidon, the wrong way is Princess Ruto

The whole Skullkid thing makes no sense because there were always 3 of them in Young Links time. If the Graveyard Boy became one then there should’ve been one extra SK in Adult Links time.

Gatekeeper and graveyard kid, that's so sad now 😢😢😢

yeahi another video!

Theory on why the stalfos just get stunned by light arrows: They arent directly made from Ganondorf and evil magic, they're just cursed souls who got lost. They arent pure evil!

7:40 I guess Jabu Jabu managed to get a beef meal for Ruto. Near the top left.

I honestly think a Ganon's Castle only game would be pretty bad ass

I love zelda❤

My goodness so much detail. you don't notice these things and until someone points them out.

I love your it content. Hope never ends

I really hope this kind of trivia video from Tears Of Kingdom on future =))

The stock artwork that appears in the instruction manual and players guide make it more obvious that those are eyes on the side of Princess Ruto's head.

I am casually playing oot right now, and just realized that in the Temple of Time the walls are printed with plenty of Master Swords

It's so weird that he mentions Ruto's eyes sinking in as an adult, with it not being the case in anything except for the N64 model, all other art and models have them as slightly larger eyes like her child form, so weird

I'm not complaining in the slightest, but how the hell is series still going on?!

It was obvious to me that those were eyes, but I never noticed they had been replaced by holes in the adult version, and I probably would have just dismissed that and thought they were still eyes if a dev hadn't said someting.

If Ocarina of Time only took place in Ganon's Tower, the game wouldn't be nearly as popular or impactful as it would become.

Man is amazong how the literally create a entire world in this game!

Amazing how fast you run out of WW stuff

The sky on the ceiling triggers my claustrophobia and I'm not even claustrophobic...

Em I weird for thinking that eyes were less creepy looking than making her look more like a scientifically accurate mermaid

Something I like to do that no one ever talks about is to freeze Stalfos with Ice Arrows and then run them through with the Biggoron Sword. It allows for a one-hit KO.

Cool video!

In the child era light shines out of the main room of the temple of time in the adult era the light is no longer there!😀

I didn't even know the pots rotated in the air at all

Greetings from Venezuela, South America.

Smashed the Like.

7:12 Princess Ruto

7:07 what if the graveyard kid is actually the Skull Kid you fight in Majora's Mask makes sense since he's such an asshole to you and won't let you go get a couple chests, add a fairy's fountain in some graves

Wow, I always thought that adult Ruto kept the eyes of the head, that the change in appearance was because the pupil was not centered, but instead was oriented backwards, as if observing what was behind him.
