/r/ZeldaOoT will be merging with /r/OcarinaOfTime

Hello Everyone,

In an effort to combine communities and discussions, this subreddit will be merging communities with /r/OcarinaOfTime. If you have any suggestions or requests for things you would like to see implemented at /r/OcarinaOfTime, please type them below and we will see if we can make accommodations. Going forward, however, please make any post relating to the game instead at /r/OcarinaOfTime.

To keep it short, both subreddits serve the same purpose likely to similar audiences. Because of this, myself and /u/SupplePancake believe the best thing to do for the viewers is to combine communities. Not to say much will change (which people may enjoy), but hopefully more posts will be created and posts will be seen by more users. At the end of the day, Reddit is a place for people to share stories, videos, and thoughts with others.

This isn't to say each community hasn't done great on its own accord.

When I look at how this subreddit has grown over the years, I am shocked that it really went anywhere, so thank you to everyone who has posted, commented, and viewed over the years. The css of this subreddit is bits and pieces of the original /r/Zelda css back at that time and the profile banner was a picture that I stretched to fit my original laptop screen, not realizing that it would not correctly scale for other computers.

This is also not a post that I am done with the game as well. I play this game most days out of the week and am gracious that /u/SupplePancake has invited me as a moderator to /r/OcarinaOfTime. So I will be moving along with everyone else.

All posts here will be archived as Reddit normally does with posts, so if there is a bookmark you made or a post you want to search for at any time, you should be able to find what you are looking for.

A big shout out to /u/Sephardson for helping with this transition.

Here is where the subreddit was as of 2/15/2021: https://imgur.com/a/q6Ofy3w

What was the Manor before being abandoned

22 Upvotes

I wonder who used to live here in the abandoned manor mansion before it was abandoned long ago? Did some of the Hyrule Family used to live here? Or some rich family?

This abandoned manor does remind me of Lugi's Mansion 2 in some way especially the ghosts. But it looks more serious and darker of course.

I do like how OoT Remake is shaping up to be a much darker game more intone with the original N64 version.

But does anyone know who used to live in this manor before it was abandoned long ago? The manor looks very beautiful and elegant but now being abandoned it looks very foreboding especially that red room area of the manor.

Zelda Posting every day until Ocarina of time comes out. day 37: Barinade

Post image
18 Upvotes

has your enormous fish god become irritable as of late? has he started to eat everything you put in front of him? did he even eat your princess? sounds like the giant fish you worship for some reason may have come down with a bad case of Barinade. Barinade is a parasitic anemone that has a symbiotic relationship with Jellyfish creatures called Bari. it's like they always say, when life gives you Bari you make Barinade.

try asking your doctor about hero of time. hero of time works from the inside, making his way through your goofy fish deity while attacking all parasites before arriving at Barinade. Hero of time works fast, destroying Barinade with his boomerang (boomerang sold separately) and saving your princess while he's at it.

side effects may include nausea, internal stab wounds from the hero's sword, loss of your royal family's spiritual stone, and the princess falling madly in love with the hero. hero of time does not prevent your huge fish god from going missing in the event of your entire civilization freezing over. ask your doctor if Hero of time is right for your divine fish freak.

The newest Zelda video showcases a unique feature we hadn't seen before: the Hall of Fallen Foes which really brings Hollow Knight's Pantheon to mind. It even has a timer! Do you think they'll add a boss rush mode as well?

The Forest Temple Remake

I love how the Forest Temple looks like. Here is the red room, which looks very foreboding. I like how it looks like a real elegant old Mansion. It reminds me of Lugi's Mansion 2 but a lot darker, unsettling, and has this foreboding atmosphere vibe.

The redness gives that really unsettling vibe, don't you think? Especially down the stairs and seeing those stained glass windows shining red through them.

It's a abandoned old elegant Manor Mansion hidden in the deep lost woods inside the Forest Temple. Long abandoned.

Replaying Majora and some other N64 games and now I can't stop thinking bout button layouts please help

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I would buy an OG or 8-Bitdo controller, but I don't got the money so I'm stuck with Switch controller

Been thinking alot about a layout that might get close enough, but the only things I'm sure about are:

1] C-Directions should be mapped to Right Analog AND each be mapped to a Button, since most games ain't designed for dual analog

2] I really like having C-Left and C-Right on the bumpers, 'cause it feels better to turn the Camera like that in SM64 rather than tapping the stick, but that layout may not be for everybody

3] L button rarely gets used, so it's fine if it gets mapped to Stick-Click or something

4] B on the Left and A on the bottom is more accurate, but keeping it how it is on Switch controllers is fine. Less objective improvement and more personal preference

What do you think though?

Zelda Posting every day until Ocarina of time comes out. Day 36: Volvagia

Post image
21 Upvotes

Volvagia was once considered the guardian of death mountain, until one day it turned violent and started attacking Gorons. an Ancient Goron hero, wielding the megaton hammer, defeated volvagia. but during Ganondorf's conquest of hyrule, the evil Gerudo king revived Volvagia, feeding the Gorons to Volvaga in order to make an example out of them. if not defeated, Volvagia may have burned down all of hyrule. so how does our hero link defeat such a fearsome dragon? by playing wack a mole with it, of course.

Volvagia's first appearance was actually in zelda 2... kind of. there was a fire dragon boss and it was initially named "barba", but later on Nintendo started calling it volvagia. Barba/volvagia actually had 2 different sprites, one for the Famicom version of the game and a different one in the international NES version. one of many odd differences between the versions of Zelda 2.

despite being just one of many Ocarina of time bosses, Volvagia continues to have a lot of ongoing lore attached to it. Valoo from Wind waker is said to be Volvagia's descendant. unlike Volvagia, Valoo is actually pretty chill and does it's job as a Guardian properly. in twilight princess, a skeletal boss called Stallord is theorized by many to be Volvagia's skeleton, which if true would mean that Volvagia is the final boss of Link's crossbow training, AKA the best zelda game of all time.

and then of course Hyrule warriors asked the question absolutely no one asked: "what if we turned Volvagia into a tumblr sexy man?". maybe I'll talk about the strange hyrule warriors OCs another day. but before opening that can of worms, we still gotta finish this week where we talk about all the Ocarina of time bosses.... oh right, this week is for all the ocarina of time bosses. I don't think I officially announced that, but yeah, that's what I've been doing. in case you didn't notice.

Zelda Posting every day until Ocarina of time comes out. Day 35: Phantom Ganon

Post image
35 Upvotes

Phantom Ganon, the boss of the forest temple who isn't even remotely forest related. maybe that has something to do with the fact the forest temple was originally supposed to be the wind temple? who can say... either way, Phantom Ganon's battle involves him riding his horse in and out of paintings. the poe sisters, whom I previously covered, also were found in paintings. you may be wondering why the forest temple and its bosses are so painting focused, but there is a reason for that.

Mario and Zelda, having the same creator, share a lot of DNA. it's common for an idea that started in Mario to end up in zelda, and vice versa. in this case, during Ocarina of time's development they weren't sure if they could create a big, connected 3D world. while the Nintendo 64 was set to be the MOST POWERFUL console at the time, the fact it used Cartridges instead of Disks limited the maximum storage space games could have on the console.

at one point, they considered having all the game's locations connected via Ganon's tower, and Link would access these locations by JUMPING INTO PAINTINGS. that's right, just like Mario 64! Phantom Ganon's battle comes from an early idea for the final boss fight, in which Ganon would ride in and out of the paintings. of course, they didn't end up going with the painting Idea and ended up being able to create Hyrule field. this idea for a final boss based around paintings likely would have gone unused, but they repurposed it into a mid-game boss fight by making a fake Ganondorf.

unlike the real Ganondorf, whose appearance changed a bit during the 7-year time jump, Phantom Ganon initially looks identical to the Ganondorf of 7 years ago, the Ganondorf Link remembers. but then he puts on a spooky skull mask so you know he's a phantom.

there were actually more ideas for the final Ganondorf boss battle that didn't make it into Ocarina of time in any form. these ideas came after the painting idea, as both utilized hyrule field. one idea was to have link battle Ganondorf on horseback through hyrule field, an idea we wouldn't see come to fruition until Twilight princess's final battle. the other idea was to have Ganon's pig form be massive and you had to climb up him shadow of the colossus style, an idea we wouldn't see until... megaleg from super mario galaxy? yeah, according to interviews, that's what became of that concept. like I said, mario and zelda share ideas all the time.

Phantom Ganon would appear in later games fulfilling the same purpose of letting the player fight A Ganondorf before fighting THE Ganondorf. he appears in wind waker, where he doesn't even remotely resemble Ganondorf. he then appears several times in Tears of the kingdom, but I also have heard some people argue that the four blight Ganons from Breath of the wild count as phantom Ganons. those people are wrong. those are not phantom Ganons; they are blight Ganons.
