The "How to obtain the Triforce" urban legend in Ocarina Of Time is one of the dumbest things in gaming culture. Unfreezing Zora's Domain I get; something about that region remaining frozen feels incomplete, and most people probably tried to use Din's Fire at some point when they were kids. Beating the running man I get, because it really felt like you actually could somehow beat him, and back then we had no way of knowing that he was just a prank from the developers.The myth about finding the Triforce somewhere in Hyrule, on the other hand, is completely retarded, and always was.>But it's a Zelda game. Surely the Triforce must be somewhere in there.Yes, and the game literally explains it and even shows it to you. It split into three when Ganondorf entered the Sacred Realm, and you unknowingly carry the Triforce of Courage for the entire adult portion of the game, with Zelda and Ganondorf carrying the other two parts. This is explicitly spelled out for you and shown in cutscenes at the end of the game.How did this stupid shit survive for decades? It's on par with being stumped by how the apes managed to get the Statue of Liberty to their planet in The Planet Of The Apes.
>>737066063there never was a urban legend about it in the first place
no one says or thinks that tho
>>737066063>How did this stupid shit survive for decades? It's on par with being stumped by how the apes managed to get the Statue of Liberty to their planet in The Planet Of The ApesWAT
It was like 10 years olds that came up with the rumor
The rumors were always fun to read back in the day.
>>737066063But enough about unlocking Sonic and Tails in Melee.
>>737066063because there's a greyed out space in your inventory for the triforce
>>737067379>>737068231There absolutely were rumors about obtaining the Triforce in OOT, similar to a playable Luigi in Mario 64 and Bigfoot in GTA San Andreas. Not sure why you would claim otherwise. It was stupid then, and it's stupid now.
>>737069118>Not sure why you would claim otherwisebecause unlike luigui or bigfoot the triforce was actually a thing? you literally get told and shown that link, ganon and zelda got a fragment each
>>737069615I know, which is why I said the urban legend was dumb. A few years back, some very crafty modders even obtained the complete Triforce live. It's really impressive on a technical level, but the original rumor was still dumb.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_RighmL04g
It was a different time where people actually had imaginations, didn't datamine every single game the week before its official release, and trolling was an art.
>>737070461Don't get me wrong, video game urban legends are kino. It's just that the one about the OOT Triforce was dumb.
>>737068913I wonder what Ariana is doing now
>>737066063cant wait for nora fagaragi to come in with his nonsense about how "its just hidden" and how finding it will unlock some parallel dimension of the game. recently he's been spamming "the remake will just hand it you, robbing you of the accomplishment of finding it yourself, and you'll slurp it up anyway"newsflash faglord, it doesnt exist, plain and simple. the "parallel world" doesnt exist either. never has, never will. you have zero proof of your "hidden other half of games" claim, and thats why you got laughed out of court.
>>737068913holy fuck I used to visit this site as a kid
>>737066063It wasn't without some basis, the extremely early trailers of OoT did show Link receiving the triforce. I've heard arguments too that because ALTTP had it, it wasn't too weird to think that OoT could as well.Honestly, the amount of things changing over the course of the game's development fueled a lot of speculation and wild theories.
>>737071170I just always found the speculation silly, since it's already featured so prominently in the story. Having the Triforce split into three among the main characters is much more meaningful than just finding it in a chest somewhere.>when Ganondorf is confronted, the camera angle frames the three of them as a TriforceKino.
>>737070461It's such a weird coincidence that they placed that truck over there just off screen.
Don't tell me you couldn't find the way under the Zora domain's underwater cave.
>>737072024Of course not. You just use the special fire spell that you get from defeating the running man by starting the race, going back in time, and letting your console be turned on for seven years on the Lost Woods bridge. Duh.
>>737067379there was, same with Coloured Gauntlets. Coloured Gauntlets were true by the way, they are dev items you can glitch in
>>737066063The rumor was never about obtaining it as a proper item that you can use; just that it was hidden in a dev room somewhere for cutscenes and that you could glitch into it somehow, or that it was linked to some N64 DD content.
Alright, I think I got it this time... ▲ ▲ ▲
>>737072464>The rumor was never about obtaining it as a proper item that you can useincorrect
>>737072534
>>737071842I mean, it's a dock, in terms of realistic ideas of placement it makes sense to have something on standby for loading and transporting cargo. Kids saw it and imposed this imaginary idea that because it was such a standout thing that doesn't make sense for detail from a simplistic game perspective, though, here we are.
>>737070931Same. Learning about "Zelda 64 Gaiden" through it was a trip.
For me, it was the Hylian Loach. I never had a reason to return to the fishing spot after getting the scale and heart piece so that legit blew my mind.
>>737066063Still better than TRULY RETARDED SHIT like the mario 64 iceberg
>>737068913You just reminded me how much I miss that brief time of the internet after OoT and MM but before WW and all the little sites dedicated to zelda. Truly was a different time.
>>737073068The Hylian Loach is real though, although I never caught it or even saw it as a kid. I did stumble upon the sinking lure though.
Does anyone else remember looking for "arnaca" in pokemon diamond and pearl by walking through walls with their action replay
>>737073079I never felt the negative aura of Wet-Dry World as a kid, but I always thought the skybox was enticing. Always loved that level.
>>737073843Anon, I said that it blew my mind, meaning I caught it.
>>737074027Oh, my bad. I thought you meant that reading about it online blew your mind.
>>737066063There's also a little doorway-looking area underneath the water. There's nothing there but if there was it would only be reachable by equipping the iron boots to adult Link.
>>737074558Well, that too.Seeing a lot of pre-release screenshots was cool too, this one being my first.
>>737066063It was mostly because of an early clip that showed Link opening a chest and getting the Triforce. People just blindly assumed it was in the game.
>>737074730>Link with the tan undershirtI still love it.
I remember going on CheatPlanet and getting trolled frequently. >unlock Big Head mode from GoldenEye in OoT by rolling into a tree X amount of times
>>737066063It was spawned from savvy autistic kids lying to other gullible autistic kids.
>>737077818
>>737066063>how the apes managed to get the Statue of Liberty to their planet in The Planet Of The Apes.bruh you realize they never left the planet, it was future earth
>>737077901>type in your name as “TINY” I miss it so much.
>>737066063>It's on par with being stumped by how the apes managed to get the Statue of Liberty to their planet in The Planet Of The Apes.This is going to be stuck in my head all dayhttps://youtu.be/sMRcIOjdojU
>>737070461>and trolling was an artOr just kids lying for attention.
Fuck the Triforce I wanted to find the Unicorn Fountain more.
>>737073934>>737073994These two posts together made me remember how fucked up and mysterious the Unown were to me as a kid and how utterly confused I was when I saw the cut Azure Flute shit and the leaks came out about giants or some shit. I'm evennmore confused now than I was when I was a kid.
When I was a kid I thought you’d be able to upgrade the master sword like ALTTP even though I had the Biggoron Sword. I looked around the game a ton, even after beating it and knowing that Ganon knocks it away. Thankfully MM brought back sword upgrades cause I like upgrading the sword.
