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?

[Bubbles]

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?
