Help me, Oppan. You're my only hope.
My favorite was when Nappa killed Piccolo and Gohan sadly tells Goku when he arrives, "He sent Piccolo to another dimension."

When I was 14 I was so confused by that. I was trying to figure out if they were literally saying Nappa had hit Piccolo so hard that he knocked him clean out of our universe and into the next one or something.

I believe even in the uncensored version. There was one next dimension thing. Were Vegeta fighting Zarbon. Though it was just a taunt there saying how he was going to blow Zarbon into another dimension.

I always assumed it was just a weird part of the culture of the DBZ world that they called the afterlife "The next dimension". In a way that's what it is.

A little logic in the right place can cause chaos without limit.
On the subject of outrageous lies and/or things...



They told me that if I ever left this forest... I would *die*! They told me that about *everything*!

As you brought it up:

There's random NPCs saying the following (if I remember correctly):

If a Kokiri leaves the forest (or gets lost in the forest? Not sure), they become a skull kid. Like the little guys you played the Ocarina with back when you first entered the Lost Woods.

When another person enters the forest, they'll eventually turn into a Stalfos (the big skeleton guys you fought).

So they can leave/enter the forest, it just has bad consequences.

The turnip cutscene said that Link's mother died soon after entering the forest because of her war injuries. So she died before she was hit by the Stalfos curse.

Link is the hero, destined by the Goddesses. I believe he must possess a Goddess-given power which prevents him from being affected by the curse.

Also, Faerie Fortune, seeing that you learned some important lessons from ChaosArgate's replay of that part of the dungeon, partially about how your actions make us feel, I'm in a way glad that the recording mishap happened. It may improve all upcoming parts of the LP. :)

I can't think of the weirdest things my parents have ever told me. My mom was pretty good at telling me the truth about a lot of things but then she'd turn right around and drop one of those "seeds will grow in your stomach" things that you mentioned. I can't think of anything specific at the moment.

One of my earliest memories, though, is of my babysitter telling me to stop picking my nose because the boogers would grow into worms in my stomach and eat me alive. I was three!

Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?
We didn't have any particularly good lies I recall...
Except when my older brother's dog was hit by his schoolbus when he was 6. Then, my parents decided to actually, and I'm not kidding, do the "he went to live on a farm" lie.
Which was probably particularly believable (I was too young to recall this, so this is a family story), since we actually did have a dog who went to live with someone else, because the dog had been my parents' before they had kids, and hated my brother like crazy. When we were little, we'd sometimes get Christmas cards from the dog's new owner, showing the dog in little Christmas outfits.

I'm pretty sure none of the bubbles in OOT will curse you. Blue bubbles do curse you in Majora's Mask, but not this game. The hookshot can also be used against Meg and Phantom Ganon, so running out of arrows won't render you helpless.

I don't know if the game ever says anything about the disappearing, reappearing Kokiri, but back when I played I thought of it as the magic, never aging, forest children being able to turn invisible to hide from all the potential dangers and only show themselves when you're close enough that they can see you aren't a monster.

I never got parent lies that I can think of. I did get a bedtime story where a kid doesn't go to sleep, looks out a window, and gets cursed by a witch that turns him into a carrot by morning. That one made me walk faster past windows for a few years when it got dark out.

My parents were depressingly straight with me.

"Mom, what happens when you die?" "It's a lot like you're sleeping forever."
"Mom, who was the first human?" "A lot of people think it was someone named Adam, but we don't really know."
"Dad, Santa ate the cookies we put out for him!" "Hate to break it to you but it was actually your mom."

That last one may not have actually happened, but I do recall knowing at a very early age that Santa wasn't real. :(

Technically you didn't, because she restarted the fight with a savestate and got past the first part without wasting the fairy, losing it instead in the second part. Without the savestate, there'd have been more game overs.

I'm playing through the 3DS version now, and you're half right. When Kokiri leave the forest they turn into skull kids, but people only turn into Stalfos and Stalkids when they get lost in the Lost Woods, give up on finding a way out, and fall asleep. The forest itself and the Kokiri village are safe spots.

Also you playing dark souls would probably lead to you learning how to fight stalfos better, since funnily enough they both have a similar style for sword and board. If anything it would teach you to mash the attack button less :v:

(Would probably also show why I cringe every time the sword scrapes off something, especially if you try ds2)

Maybe it's okay to leave the forest to get a pizza or whatever, it's more if they decide to abandon the Kokiri forest as a home, or get banished or something that they turn into skullkids? Because you never see skullkids outside of the woods, like they aren't at Lake Hylia or Castle Town or whatever. And you see other Kokiri kids in the Lost Woods too, and they're fine. Also if it wasn't possible for other people to travel via the Lost Woods there wouldn't be that shortcut to Goron City. Maybe normal people can enter the Lost Woods but they're only safe until they get lost? Then they get sacrificed to TreeDad's TreeCult.

I made a thing. I'd include a recording but I'd rather not have to try and explain why I'm singing a Zeldafied Disney song to the internet at midnight.


Beata Saria
You know I am a righteous tree
Of my slingshot I am justly proud

Beata Saria
You know I'm so much huger than
The common, vulgar, weak, unmoustached crowd

Then tell me, Saria
Why I see hear them crawling there
Why their skittering noises still pierce my soul

I feel them, I hear them
The spawn dropped from the spider queen
Are crawling in me out of all control

Like spiders
Math spiders
These spiders in my skin
This skritching
Of spiders
Is turning me to exposition

It's not my fault
I'm not to blame

It is the Gerudo
The wizard who sent this plague

It's not my fault
If in their plan

They made the dark lord so much
Stronger than a treedad

Protect me, Saria
Don't let this wizard cast his spell
Don't let these spiders make my corpse their home
Destroy King Ganondorf
And let him taste the fires of hell
Let the Emerald remain mine and mine alone


Great Deku Tree, the Gerudo has escaped.


What?


He's no longer in the forest. He's gone.


But how? Never mind. Get out, you idiot.
I'll stop him. I'll stop him if I have to send a ten year old with a knife.

Math spiders
Dark spiders
Now Ganon, it's your turn
Face me or
The Hero
Of Time and you will burn

Gods have mercy on him
Gods have mercy on me

But the Hero of Time
Will see him burn!

Only watch between 9:19 and 10:14, for those who don't want spoilers beyond Fae's knowledge (though it shows things from Twilight Princess, and parts of the opening cinematic of Majora's Mask). Also note that the video and title is just ridiculous theory-crafting, which is the gimmick of the video maker, so I'm not considering it a spoiler.

I've been waiting to post this remix for a little while, but I had been waiting for this dungeon and only just now got caught up due to finally having enough free time. For some reason I thought we didn't hear Sheik's theme until this dungeon, but after double checking it seems we first heard it in the Temple of Time. Oops. Anyways, have a really nice remix of Sheik's theme I stumbled across a while back. Polsy'd for spoilers in the comments, and probably in the recommended videos as well.
