What was the purpose of this room?
>>729257116positive sovl energy infusion

>>729257116Originally you got the ice arrows here, but things got shuffled around and then the ice arrows became a pointless item that got shoved into the training grounds.
>>729257116sovl
>>729257116Link gets infused with unicorn energy
>>729257525Yeah that's not true.
>>729257116It's where the Zoras were taken and frozen.

>>729257116Secret entrance to Temple of Light. You have to unfreeze Zora's Domain and learn the Overture of Sages.

Aura farming wolf and liminal vibes
OP likes to sit here and think about other men.
>>729257116without the crt filter it does not look as good
>>729257116Mini dungeon cobbled together in a short period to make up for the change in how item acquisition was supposed to work (Supposed to get the Ice Arrows in there)
>>729257116cool miniboss room but due to devs reshuffling content a lot it ended up without a proper miniboss so they put a white wolvos in there
I haven't kept up with OoT romhacks and the native port, has anyone made a romhack yet of cut and beta content like the Ice dungeon being fully fledged out along with the Light Temple?
>>729257961I hope you die in 2026
>>729258769Explain
>>729257116it's a test room for parallax, retard
>>729259046Ice Arrows were not supposed to be a useless, retardedly out of place late game award from the Gerudo Training Ground. They came from the Ice Cavern dungeon and were a vital part of progressing the Water Temple.All those water spouts you walk on in there? They were SUPPOSED to be shot with ice arrows to make ice platforms, like Majora's Mask.Pic related, remember this obscenely annoying area at the boss door trying to walk past these annoying fucks? Well fun fact, ice arrows temporarily freeze these. The puzzle here was intended to be a double item check. Freeze them with Ice Arrows and walk up the slop with Iron Boots.They shitcanned the Ice Cavern into a mini-dungeon, slapped the Iron Boots in there then just pretty much made the Ice Arrows useless. Made the water spouts regularly walkable and then forgot to change this room.
>>729257116Before gaming died AAA devs would have a little fun from time to time. It's like the Faustian spirit taken to the digital realm.
>>729259003angry nigger
>>729257116To be SOVLFUL
>>729257116Temple of light entrance
I just did this dungeon. Sheik says she saved the Zora princess. When you meet Ruto she says her race is frozen but the only way to get to her in the water temple is having freed her father to get the water tunic. Additionally it isn't explained what happened to Jabu Jabu, we don't even see his remains. I don't like that part of OoT because of how disconnected it is narrative speaking, it's a little sloppy. No Zora surviving is underwhelming and no one is unfrozen either after completing it. Felt half baked.
>>729257116To hold the dungeon reward item you stupid fuck
I love as soon as you become an adult, the world really opens up and you can do whichever pre-temple quest you want, even doing the Fire Temple first and the Ice Cavern.
There was a boss in it.
>>729259997I don’t know what it is but the transition from child link to adult link and then getting the horse has to be the best thing I’ve played ever as well as the final boss of the game (yeah it’s pretty simple and whatever but muh atmosphere), it’s just so FUARKING fun, it hits harder when you actually are a kid playing it though, fuck all you retarded niggers who hate this game I hope you all have a very merry christmas.
>>729257116graphics
>>729257116I want to fuck 90s twunk link that’s the purpose of that room!
>>729257116what was the purpose of your fucking existence?
>>729259997Every single time I replay OoT, the first things I always do immediately after becoming adult Link are: get the hookshot, free Epona and get the Biggoron sword.
>>729264104For me; it's go fishing to the lake Hylia

I miss when games would have cool little unique looking areas and enemies and stuff like that. It feels like for every major release I've played in the past 15 years there's like a few copy paste designs they use for areas and enemies and any other asset just because they're so much more expensive to produce now.
>>729264413>go play TotK>every old area is copypasted from the last game>almost every single new area is a copypasted cave, dark cave, or sky islandThe exploration in that game felt so hollow. Especially since the Great Sky Island was so linear. The Great Plateau let you just free roam, do the shrines in any order, and even fight a world boss.I wish Koizumi was in charge of the next game.
>>729257116Cool as fuck.
>>729259296Makes me wonder just how much got moved. I know that the Water Medallion is supposed to be the Ice Medallion (named as such in code, has a snowflake as its symbol, old code says it shoots pillars of ice). So what was meant to be the reward for the Water Temple? If it's the Ice Cavern that froze Zora's Domain, why is that connected to the Water Temple? In the final game, somehow Morpha (the water monster) is related to freezing in a body of water on the opposite side of the country.
>>729257116My guess is it was supposed to be a room with invisible walls and a huge starry skybox, but technical limits made them say "fuck it" and pasted the texture on walls.
>>729257116Sex with Shiek
>>729264778>Koizumi>Unabashed tragedy builds character chad and waifuchad >Credited in the biggest acclaimed Zelda games and Mario games>Relentlessness pushed Rosalina in more Nintendo games and escaped Miyamoto's impotent rage if he's creatively upstaged (Toadworth got the curtains because Miyamoto did not create him, as did many non-Miyamoto approved characters)>Is getting more Mario Galaxy content and Rosalina content>Got Rosalina added to Mario Wonder as wellDamn Koizumi fucking played the long game and beat that boomer Shiggy.
>>729265298Look at the crystals on the ground >>729258535. It was supposed to be this
>>729265876Bad move, in a short period Rosie became Nintendo's Shadow.
>>729265640what killed dampey?
>>729266051>Nintendo's Shadow.nobody thinks this any unironic fashion
>>729264223Catch a 25 pounder. Max normal fish size. 1/1600 chance. You can do it
>>729266093Put himself in grave danger too often.
>>729266093He was executed after they found what he did to the graveyard kid
>>729266140I do, it's the same effect of saturation due popularity in that ONE game. I like both characters but you'd be retarded to deny saturation isn't a thing
>>729259296should have had the spikes on a lane of water to give you more of a clue
>>729266186you fuck>>729266218bruh
>>729259296might have just been them not thinking of any other ideas for the Gerudo training grounds, not so much ice arrows didn't slot well into Water temple
>>729266241no. it's a retarded comparison.rosalina hasn't even starred in a game.
>>729258535>>729266006Why do old school vidya crystals have SO much sovl
>>729265876Miyamoto never did shit against Rosalina and it's been proven countless times.You are seething over some old jap like a faggot.
>>729266093Probably digging up too many angry ghosts
>>729266241No one has said or thought this at all.You worthless fag
>>729266093He dug up the wrong grave.HIS OWN!
>>729257116Never forget that the water temple was originally an ice temple, hence why Ganon's Trial is ice themed and why Koume's magic sigil bears the water medallion symbol.This room likely had much more significance earlier on or the texture/effect was made for the old Ice Temple and they liked it enough to reuse it.
>>729259818Let it go, unc. It’s been 30 years.
>>729266714And it looks like a snowflake the way the fire one looks like a fire
>>729266714Don't forget that the fire medallion is used on the pedestal to enter the Shadow Temple, because you were meant to use that medallion to open it, since it functioned as Din's Fire.
>>729257116Being cool. That's what it is for.>>729259296How did people have problems with this? If you time it right, you can just run up at the edge where it meets the wall. Of all of the things in the water temple, this is one of the easier things to deal with.
>>729266312how would you walk over it then with the iron boots if it was waterthink unc use ur dementia-addled brain lol
>>729264104Fire Temple, then getting Epona, then the Ice Cavern and then the Forest Temple.Current playthrough I may do the above but get the Bow and do Water Temple before Forest.Fire>Forest>Water>Shadow>SpiritThis is the best way to do it and you won't tell me otherwise. I may mix it up a little for fun.
>>729266428Galaxy was centered around her, anon. Kind of surprising they haven't made one with her as the main playable character>The next SMB movie is literally about GalaxySounds familiar?
>>729266714>>729267415The Forest Medallion was the Wind Medallion too, wasn't it? Explains Ganon's Tower forest section being all wind.
>>729267854Was it?
>>729267906Yep.
>>729267906Yep. It also used Farore's Wind as its effect, or rather the other way around.The Spirit Medallion also used to be yellow, which is why all "Spirit" dialogue in OoT is in yellow. The Light Medallion was white, and Shadow was black. So they seemingly forgot to update the Spirit text to be orange.
>>729268084>The Light Medallion was white, and Shadow was blackoh boy
>>729268084>>729268169
>>729268581>the spiritual stones were meant to look like music chords>they also slotted into the ocarina
>>729267921Yes, by far.>>729268169BRAVO LUCAS!
>i need everything explained to me
>>729257116Holy SOVL...
>>729268581What's the leaf thing? Like the deku leaf fan from Wind Waker?
>>729257525I believe this
>>729269796Reed grass, it was reused in Twilight Princess.
>>729268581>>729270027Oh, that made me realize.>all of the notes there are only for (what I would assume to be) the warp songs>Prelude of Light was white, because the light medallion was white>because the medallion got recolored to yellow, Prelude is yellow in the final game>the white music note then got recycled for the six generic songs in the menuNeat.
>>729259003Edgy
My best mate when I was a kid lost his mind and thought he was some kind of werebeast when he saw this room. That was over 25 years ago. I still see him from time to time, now he lives in the woods.
>>729271321...I think your mate became a Stalfos.
>>729271321That's pretty cool man.
>>729257116it's where the soul is stored
>>729266683hehe
>>729267562no just like a shallow puddle so you think "wait maybe it supposed to be some indicator of using ice to stop it"
>>729266093probably being an old bitch
>>729259296>They came from the Ice Cavern dungeon and were a vital part of progressing the Water Temple.There's several issues with those theories. The water spouts can't be frozen because they were never programmed to be, there obviously wasn't ever an Ice Temple as we've seen with the Gigaleak, the Water Medallion or Ice Medallion at the time was needed to cast the Ice Arrows to begin with meaning so you can see the obvious flaw with that little theory.
>>729258535If only I had a giant... but hole!
>>729276838>the Water Medallion or Ice Medallion at the time was needed to cast the Ice Arrows to begin withNo, the ice medallion just shot out pillars of ice, like Din's Fire but with ice.
>>729266093The vaxx.
>>729277097The Medallions could be equipped to arrows too.
>>729257116To look cool as fuck and hold iron boots
It was cool.
>>729279215Of course it was, the room is made of ice, doofus.
>>729266473Because you were raised on them so you have an emotional attatchment to them, same way old people called everything they grew up with soulful and everything you like was slop to them. Do you tards not get how emotions and nostalgia work?
>>729257354>mini-boss that dies to one jump attack to the back
>>729258535No, no, NO, Crash! To save the world, I need Crystals. CRYSTALS! One more time, they look... like... this. Crystals, Crash! Go back through one of those doors and BRING ME CRYSTALS!
>>729264223>>729264104>>729266182>when you're playing the OOT/MM randomizer and you need to get the hookshot from the child fishing game, and the longshot from the adult fishing game (they're progressive)>forget to enable cross-game hookshot, so you still have to find a third hookshot besides that
>>729264223OOT has been raped so much with romhacks I'm surprised theres no super fishing mod
>>729279243I can hear the Water Temple music emanating from this image.
>>729279498You don't need longshot for anything.
>>729279312What’s funny is I wondered why I never had issues with Wolfos as a kid and just learned why. Apparently when you’re Z-targeting one, it’s coded that other Wolfos won’t attack you.
>>729280228It's not just Wolfos that do that. The inspiration behind it was from a bunch of old samurai sword fighting movies that the development team watched.
>>729257230My pupils dilated and I got goosebumps when I saw OP's picture in catalog; this is true
>>729279312>timeskip introduces a larger wolfos variant>it still dies in one hitThey should have tripled its health or something.
>>729279312It doesn't even need to be a jump attack.
>>729279312That happened the very first time I played through the game as a kid, four seconds into the fight he's dead in one hit. Was a little disappointing.
>>729280462Neat
>>729266035That always bugged the shit out of me. Why was that even there to begin with? I later theorized that it's the ass-end of Kokiri Forest or the Lost Woods.
>>729286119The warp from Lost Woods to Zora's River supports it. Maybe another part of the Lost Woods would have had a pond or lake that connected to it.
>>729257116this game had some very obvious early 3d areas like this that always felt like old original star trek sets.
>>729257116For me, it's the fairy fountains. Something about the water trickling down from those black void ceilings while the fire crackles is so relaxing.
>>729279312Truly mastery over a video game's combat, don't know how anybody got filtered from the combat system.Shit, now I miss how simple the combat used to be.
>>729288356>dodging in OoT meant avoiding an attack, maybe>dodging nowadays means i-frames and bullet time slowdown
>>729257116It IS a very weird room in the entire game, and without real reason why. Just, "you did the cave, here's a weird room for your amusement"
>>729283150>>729284407Both are reasons why OoT (and MM) are so good at secrets.The Deku theatre is inside a small hole hidden out of the way hidden out of the way of the Lost Wood. No one is ever expected to find it. Yet, you've got several heart pieces and random reactions out of it, just because.The fishing place has a random superfishing bait spawning completely invisible somewhere around the wall, which can be used to fish a super secret lamprey. They didn't need to do that. They just did.
>>729288413>bullet time in a sword and board franchise.It feels patronizing
>>729279443heh
OOT>MMthe time gimmick is fucking annoying
>>729289728Nah it isn't. Not if you have the songs that slows time to an absolute crawl and the song that throw you 12 hours later. Then it's just carefully preparing for each 3 days cycle, going through the citizens, preparing, knowing intimately the game, etc, which MM is made for. Or taking one or two cycles to prepare further, maybe complete a quest, know more secrets, it's the closest to groundhog day in a game you'll ever get. It's comfy.The time gimmick holds the game up, it does the exact opposite of sinking it.
was OOT always a shit game that is praised only for nostalgia?
>>729257116you didn't beat the game if you didn't exclusively wear the iron boots from this point forward
>>729289957Let's be honest, you didn't beat the game if you used a potion, milk or fairy.
>>729289917were you always brown
>>729289957A friend when I was a kid used the hover boots at all times after getting them
>>729290024I wish they could have been used for more stuff, 3 seconds in the air is fun, but also they're not that useful. And slippy as fuck. You'd believe that if boots were that fucking slippy, they'd allow some more awesome stuff.MM did grant extreme traversal options with their 3 mains masks, at least. The Goron mask is still the best feeling traversal mechanic in all of Zelda.
>>729289728I just don't like all the fucking waiting around. That and MM is less stable. Doing something like super sliding will fucking crash MM 50% of the time.
>>729289728it's only annoying if you have some kind of severe autism. normal people don't think about it
>>729290294Uh clearly they fucking do since that's the reason people rank it poorly compared to OoT.
>>729257116To look cool just because you can make it look cool, silly.
>>729290024and then died repeatedly to iron knuckles?
>>729290342you are not "people", remember what your mom said, you're a special child
>>729257116Cursed image.
>>729258535Gottem!
>>729266006I think about this level a lot. It's the only one of its kind. An entire unique track and ice cavern tileset.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEOYy4_3ciAOddly enough it's also one of the few songs that's not Jungle Japes that got Smash representation.
>>729267562Freeze it
>>729290024I do this...
>>729290365Okay now step away from the mirror.
gorons run this fucking board
>>729266006Damn, Rare mogged the competition during the SNES days.
>>729292707More than 70 of the IP address on /v/ come from Goronia. Makes you think.
>>729292790>Goronia
>>729288413I hate that every game adds iframes to dodges now, it removes a level depth from fights and just makes it a glorified parry. I blame it on players who have an obsession with only wanting to dodge, so the developers have to make dodge viable against every attack. Still not sure if botw uses iframes or not, or if the game just checks if you did the right dodge for the attack the enemy used.
>>729289223Oot and WW had the best sword and boarding. Firstly you actually have to hold the button to raise your shield, and it was not guaranteed protection, attacks could get around your shield and you had to position yourself properly. And the sound and visual feedback and the pushback you would get made it satisfying. It was similar in WW too.
>>729257116Jerk off crystals so you can come to this room and jerk off with your bros and share your masculine energy.
>>729293506WW is kind of ruined by the timed super attack counter and the beyblade spin you get from the swordmaster
>One faggot autistically discussing with himself the difference between water & ice
>>729283150Weird little place. But I like it.
>>729257116It's all for the Serenade of Water cutscene
suffer not the heretic left handeds are of the devil
>>729259818Sheik likely saved Ruto from Zora's Domain, and Jabu-Jabu is probably in the chunks of ice up there. The Zora are still alive, albeit frozen, and thaw out in time to survive during the credits.
>>729294915link is one of the good ones.
>>729296853he wields the emblem of the enemy
>>729266035iirc there was supposed to be an exit from the lost woods into the fountain and there's an unused player spawn in that area that confirms it
>>729296905yeah but that's not his shield, he found it in one of their temples
>>729265876>mario games and mario character designs become gayer as he gains more powerTingle was his idea
>>729298407Tingle is the most based Zelda character ever made, good for Koizumi.
>>729299335Fag
>>729290181Majora's mask is the rare game that actually got better with age. Because now when playing it, if you have to wait 1-2 minutes for an event you can just pull up some youtube shorts on your phone while you wait.
