The Legend of Zelda: Thread of Awesome

[TheWombatOfDoom]

So long as you get the chicken fence jump down, yeah. I have a much easier time with the desert, as I drew myself a map. :3

However, I generally like playing through the game normally!

New Question: Zelda has often been known for it's easter eggs hidden within the game. What's your favorite?

The Arwing in the Kokiri Forest.

[Landis963]

The flying Remlits in SS has to be mine.

[Lentrax]

Not much of an easter egg, but I enjoyed in Link's Awakening, if you steal from the store, everyone will call you THIEF, no matter what you named yourself.

[INoKnowNames]

Technically it's possible to reach the temple as child link, the trouble is getting past the gerudo fence to do it. (not to mention getting through the desert...)

.... how on -EARTH- do you get past the... you know, Giant Cliff of Doom? Or the rest of the freaking Gerudo Fortress?

The desert is really the hardest part. Especially since you are not allowed to have the Lens of Truth.

Eh, seems like trial and error until you figure out where which way is which...

I assumed you'd have todo something like that...

The Arwing in the Kokiri Forest.

That's my favorite, too. Because that's just plain -awesome-.

It's funny until you go back to that store and the store owner blows your ass up!

Still quite fond of the guard throwing a bomb at you in the ocarina of time if you shoot the window in Princess Zelda's room (or the mario and rupees in the other one).

[Triaxx]

There's a bridge as child link and the fence is on the other side. I can't recall the exact method of getting through, but it's possible. Unless I'm completely mental and the trick is just play the song without learning it. Which I'm incapable of doing.

Jump off the support on the far side holding the chicken, and then jumpslash over from off the chicken. Then get past the guards without them seeing you or they throw you back. It's much harder than it sounds.

I ACTUALLY DIED TO THAT!

...So, basically, The Legend of Metal Gear: Ocarina of Snake?

[Lentrax]

Yup. Exactly like that.

Link: tamer, rider, and torturer of Cuccos.

[JoshL]

The Arwing in the Kokiri Forest.

Very awesome that.

Not an easter egg at all, but I remember very clearly the first time that I encountered the money giving Moblin in the original game. I had no idea why he was there, other than his saying "it's a secret to everyone". My imagination went wild in a way that games hadn't inspired me before.

That's what I loved most about the NES era. Not full story telling, as in modern games, or an entire lack, as in older games. But often just enough story to get the imagination cooking. Great stuff.

My favourite easter egg? Bombing Gossip Stones so they launch into the air like a rocket~

[TheWombatOfDoom]

I love the gossip stone reactions.

On another note! I WON THE MASTER SWORD IN A CONTEST! :3

When I get home. I have two.

Favorite easter egg. Hmm... that's a toughy. I'm going to go with the Mario Mask on the salesman's bag.

Anyone else ever beat the runner in OOT? I recall having done it once, but it's supposedly impossible. Yet... there's that memory of doing it. It's strange.

That was either a dream or a lie you told so much you started to believe it.

It's impossible. You can teleport directly to the bridge and he'll still beat you by one second.

You can make the timer stay at 0:00 and he'll claim he got there a second faster than you.

The game has been data mined - there is no text for beating him, and no prize.

I'm sensing a new Chuck Norris joke here...

[Triaxx]

Must be a dream, because I've never mentioned it. Of course, I might also be confusing it with another game.

Yes, thinking back it must have been a dream, since it comes from reaching the bridge by teleporting to the Forest temple, then jumping or hookshotting to the bridge and having him come running out of the tunnel.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Sorry I didn't get the pictures up yesterday. You'll get them soon!

Yeah, there is no way to beat the running adict of ocarina of time. In my youth I spent a whole day trying to do it different ways, and to my increasing frustration failing to.

Also, does anyone play Halo at all and use the forge? I'm remaking Ocarina of Time on Halo, because I can, and it's coming along fairly nicely. I'm soon going to be ready for beginning to film a machinima playthrough, where I pretend to play the game by filming it in Reach. I'm hoping halo 4 offers a desert for gerudo fortress, and maybe some others.

So far I've completed:
Kokiri Forest (inside of buildings in one file and the area itself on another)
Lost Woods
Hyrule field (WIP)
B1 of Deku tree dungeon
Deku Tree Exterior
Hyrule Market Town (WIP)

It may not sound like much progress, but it's a lot of work.

I could have sworn I saw a video somewhat based on this, actually... the only thing I remember was that it was still based on Halo heavily, but you could tell it was being influenced by Ocarina of Time.

That, and that it was glorious...

On that note, I assume that someone has long since made a completely faithful representation of at least one version of Hyrule in Minecraft?

RedAshMason is doing a great job, but he isn't done yet.

And one of my maps got featured on youtube when I turned it into a fighting map for someone. That's not my intention over all, but it shows you some of the features of the map. Check it out!

There's also an attempt to make old-school Everquest on Minecraft. So far, I've seen Qeynos and several of the Freeport zones. Someone also did Cabilis.

Yeah, I saw that too. Looked pretty sweet the parts I saw. : )

My current evening's entertainment: playing through Zelda fangames and romhacks. On the second quest of Zelda Outlands right now (which is pretty well done). Any others I should hit next and/or avoid?

Zelda II: Shadow of Night seems like a suitably Nintendo Hard version of one of my less favorite offerings from the Zelda series, and made it actually entertaining.

You will probably want to do a bit of level grinding at first, though. Everything is a lot harder to kill, and bosses are completely immune to stun.

[Sipex]

There are zelda romhacks? Good ones?

Why did I not know of this sooner?!

[Lentrax]

Because you know not of the power of almighty Google?

Or were just looking in the wrong place.
