Is this some sort of preview for next episode?

I just watched a video about Majora's Mask glitches. I won't link to it here because of spoilers, but the guy said an interesting thing. Apparently, quite a few graphics in this game were literally copy-pasted from Ocarina of Time, including that wooden entrance gate to the ranch. The Romani Ranch gate has Hylian text on it. According to the guy in the vid, it actually says "Welcome to Kakariko Village". E: typo. Carbon dioxide fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Feb 1, 2014 |

This was one of my favorite parts of the game. So creepy and unsettling.

I love how zelda dorks are also cryptographers, and everything has been translated. I love that the signs can actually be translated and aren't just random textures. That makes me sad that they would re-use the texture. I don't mind cloning 95% of the population of hyrule, but I figure the people of Termina would know how to read... And besides, for the flak this game does get for re-using models, there are still quite a few new ones like the masks, transformations, enemies and even a few characters. I don't think a texture or 5 would be too much to add.

To be fair, Wikipedia says that the Hyrulian language didn't come out until Skyward Sword. Up until that point, that sign (and all others like it) could have said "Welcome to here" for all we knew.

The language differs a bit per game. In A Link to the Past, it was just random gibberish. Starting in OoT, every glyph corresponds to one character in a real language, originally to characters in one of the Japanese writing systems, later (in Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword) to English letters. So yes, the text on the sign can be transcripted to Japanese rather easily.

 Doing things slightly out of order this week and next week. It'll pay off when we get to doing the Great Bay proper. E: We joke a bit about band names at the end, but I just realized that the episode title would make a good one. ThornBrain fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Feb 5, 2014 |

I thought of the eggs being stolen as a metaphor for a miscarriage. Not that she's lost her voice as she's lost her words? Because the game is dark.

Agreed. OoT3D was nice and all, but it would've been appreciated had they done more than pretty up the graphics.

"[Darmani] died and he peed on everybody, and here [Mikau] died and he's a rock star" He's a fish; explain how an underwater toilet would work. He peed on everyone, whether he wants to or not.

The hand in the toilet is Mikau, It still makes sense since his fins can detach.

Obviously skulltulas are immune to kung-fu, they're bugs. God do none of you play Pokemon? Fighting type-moves don't work on them.  Also somehow I completely forgot that Zora Link's fins actually do work like boomerangs. Probably explains why I never managed to finish any of the Spider Houses. Can we get like a T-shirt at some point saying "Spider House Rules" maybe? FinalGamer fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Feb 7, 2014 |

I know I've completed this Skulltula House as early as just after getting the Goron Mask. It's largely a matter of bringing in a bunch of seeds so you can plant them in the holes on the ground, then use the plants to fly to wherever the tokens are.

I don't think I've done the spider houses but once, ever. I was going to say I never did, but I distinctly remember getting the thing I'm not going to name due to spoilers at the end of the game, and don't you need the Mask of Truth for that?

You need every mask in the game for that, if we're thinking of the same endgame item.

Yes, so apparently I did complete the skulltulla houses (perhaps just the swamp house) at least once. I just have no memory of doing so. Might be because skulltullas creeped me the hell out when I was younger.

I believe you need to complete both Skulltula houses to collect every mask. The first one has a mask as a reward, and the second one has a reward that's required to get at least one mask.

You literally sold somebody's soul for 200 rupees. How do you feel about that Thorn? You feel good with your soul money? I forgotten a lot about Ikana, I never got to that area much in the game.

Ikana's always where I stop my replays because I am, to this day, terrified of Wallmasters. Ocarina of Time's forest temple broke 7 year old me.

OH! Just remembered that I wanted to say this because I thought it was cool. A bit late, but the bremen mask is a reference to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_Musicians_of_Bremen Also, the name Darknut might be a result of it being from the era where video game names were bound to 8 letters? After that it just carried over. I like it since Dark Knight is kind of a boring enemy for any fantasy setting.

Well thanks for reminding us Gensuki, that's a cool folklore reference! And I agree, Darknut as stupid as is, is better than plain Dark Knight because that's just so exactly what it is.

In the original LoZ they were called Darknuts, while in the sequel AoL they were called Iron Knuckles.

I wonder what it says that the one character whose name remains the same between games is a blind, lumbering coward that Link has to almost literally pull around by the nose to get to what he needs. I don't think he was anything like that in OoT. Or maybe I'm overthinking it.

He wasn't, you had him actively assisting you with robbing a haunted graveyard in OoT.

Well I always did it kind of the way the game intended, getting the 3 eggs inside the fortress, then getting the bottle up the waterfall. But this game does give a bit of freedom for when you want to get stuff anyway so it all works out in the end anyway.

So I'm a little behind in watching these but I just got to this one. I'm very lucky that no one was around when I was watching it at work because the kaleidoscope of ocarina failure at 15:26 makes me cry with laughter every time I watch it.
