kind and attack lengths due to the quantity of enemies and they're relatively quick movement speed this can actually be quite dangerous early on in the game when link only has a few heart containers if link enters a new area though the cuckoos will stop attacking them number 44 during the game's final battle its weak manages to get the hind Ganon and throw a deacon oddities tail Ganon will

lengthy game time if stuff with like swords flattening for several seconds if hit by the Megaton hammer and spinning around rapidly and momentarily growing in size if touched by dense fire or a magic arrow and changing from blue to red while beeping until eventually blasting off like a rocket if bombed Gossett's tomes give no reaction to D ku nuts or d2 sticks number 53 jump attacks that are performing the Megaton hammer will deal no damage to the skull chile's gold skulltulas or big skull Chile's those strikes to a wall with dislodge and kill any skull Chile's nearby number 50 for

concurrently have one if he does the chest simply contains a blue rupee number 56 this one is for all those that like to go fishing the sinking lure is irresistible to fish they love it once link has lore it becomes much easier to catch the largest fish in the pond although it'll be marked as illegal by the pond owner but if you go ahead once you find that sinking more and select let's talk about something the pond owner will render it as legal and will allow you to use it number 57 the hyrule loach is extremely rare and very difficult to catch unless you have the sinking or it's almost impossible to find him after finally catching one link presented to the pond owner for a purple ruby the owner will then release the fish due to the fact that it's very rare so he won't keep record of what the weight or the size of it is link will have to exit and re-enter the fishing pond if he wishes to catch another loach number 58 when link goes to see Princess Zelda for the very first time if he is spotted by the guards while in the castle grounds they will toss him out in front of the gate talking to the guard after being thrown out or simply speaking with him repeatedly results in the guard soliciting of five of 10 rubies to open up the gate it looked talks to him after paying the bribe the guard will say keep it a secret from everyone this is a reference from the infamous dialogue of the secret modeling from the original The Legend of Zelda game number 59 on the bottom of the pool inside the Lakeside Laboratory a still image of a large shark can be seen prepping its face against left set of iron bars number 60 while difficult for link to defeat the hostile skull kids as an adult he can do it especially with the added range and damage that the bigger and sword provides upon death these enemies drop a huge rupee that's worth 200 rupees number 61 ice arrows appear to be the strongest of all the magic arrows besides of mobilizing enemies in ice for a short time ice arrows kill common enemies such as blue tektites in one hit number 62 despite the mirrors shields light reflecting properties the projectiles octa roads or DQ scrub spit at length are not deflected it simply breaks them this is likely added to provide a good reason for switching back to the Hylian Shield so link and deflect projectiles number 60 31 in the fishing pond as an adult link can actually cast out this fishing rod and catch the pond owners hacked he can either go ahead and cast it further into the water and let it sink to the bottom or he can return it if link chooses not to return the hatch and let it sink to the bottom of the pond the pond owners going to charge you 50 rupees and if that hat sinks to the bottom of the pond the pond owner won't have the Hat for the remainder of the game not even during the credits hooking the pond owners have also prompts them to add another rule to the side of the pond that says don't cast at anyone number 64 in the castle courtyard with Princess Zelda in it pictures of Yoshi Mario Luigi pink and Bowser as they appear in Super Mario 64 can be seen if link looks into the castle through the right window number 65 playing the son song will cause all read deaths and give those in the currently loaded area to turn white and become paralyzed a read dad or gibdo will not move or attack while in the state number 66 if link hatches a regular poni bottle he can drink it doing so will usually refill one heart container occasionally this will empty one heart instead and very rarely it will empty all of linked heart containers but one from number two t7 as a child playing the song with storms in front of a magic bean plant will cause the plant to grow several feet in the air releasing three healing fairies then Oh retract back into the ground number 68 in the ocarina of time 3d there is a poster with length official artwork for The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword hidden behind some crates in the Garos fortress as well as an indigo room at Lon Lon ranch and the bond shoe shop in the Hyrule Castle towns back alley number 69 inside the grottoes fortress are a few cauldrons of bubbling substances inside jumping or climbing inside these we usually result in link receiving a red roof number 70s scattered throughout the corridor fortress or wall ornaments that often consist of colorful feathers and what appears to be a castle when shot with a ferry boat some of these will reward length with rupees or even an occasional fairy number 71 it lengthens a member of Kakariko villages fabulously rich family with a sword Lincoln usually use this opportunity to move behind it and slash it into an oval bag the result is a screaming sound effect and the creature tune blue and stunned for a while after this it link approaches the creature without first exiting and the three entering the house it will spin around once in retaliation damaging link and knocking him back number 72 there used to be a jump button Yoshiaki kazumi revealed that the auto jump mechanism that 3d Zelda games are known for actually came along later on the ocarina x development at first just like in super mario 64 you had to push a button to make link jump this was removed to simplify the experience and to shift the focus from the puzzle elements rather than the action number 73 while the nintendo president Satoru Iwata admits that ocarina of time we became a massive project immobilizing really everyone who belongs to the EAD it initially started out as a three-member team number 74 trim bar movies were a huge inspiration it was Takashi Mizzou's I guess make a Zelda game with the Chamara action style because they were the people talk about The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time they mentioned various things like an epic story sobbing puzzles riding across a broad field on a horse and just how cool link looks but it began with a single theme of making a Zelda game that included Chum borrows style swashbuckling number 75 it all started in Zelda 2 in fact before Super Mario 64 quiz my son had eventually been working on a polygon Zelda 2 we were experimenting with a thin polygon link seen from the side and fighting with the sword he couldn't really bring zelda to the adventure of link into form at that time but I kept that desire to achieving a sword fighting Zelda game until I joined the team well I'm glad that he stuck with it number 76 the idea of D targeting came too close too moist on while he and aza wanna Sanh were at a toy healer studio park a sword fighting show at the park is what made it all click so there's a script and there's a certain set up the enemies don't all attack at once when the first guy goes down then the next one steps in and so on z-targeting flex one particular opponent telling the other one to wait until it's their turn number 77 Navi was originally a triangle yes you look Clark Lee has a boy's son remembers that they wanted to make it easy for players to tell which enemy they were targeting this triangle eventually became Navi the loudmouth area that we've all come to love and number 78 link was nearly deprived in the childhood yeah could you imagine that having baby lengths while the concept of going back and forth between childhood and adulthood is now a defining characteristic of the game at first link was only going to be featured on from adults never 79 Epona's well-known as links constant companion in the 3d Zelda games but she almost made her debut in the super mario 64 the idea of having a horse in the 3ds platform was eventually dropped but cousin my son was intent on doing it for ocarina of time number 80 link wasn't always a pretty boy Mike is known for his sharp features and his elf ears kakuzu Nissan revealed that his design went with many changes at first the Hylian hero actually sported a button nose and more rounded features number 81 during early development the market was at number 82 much like Bowser's laughs is fed up in the super mario 64 to create boos laughs ganders laughter set up to create the laughter at the post sisters in the forest sample number 83 originally a player would have used a real wizard kalapana this however was replaced by opponents Tom number 84 a blink fails to hit a single target in the shooting gallery the order will get angry and will not allow the player to retry until Winky leaves and reenter he will also avoid looking directly at one as opposed to him looking at link like usually does number 85 dark blink mimics all the players moves the amount of healthy has also correspond to the amount of heart containers of Claire has by the time they fight him potentially making him very durable or quite weak number 86 in the early versions of the games cheeks eyes were blue but were changed to ride in the later versions number 87 the owl that follows lengths throughout his quest is actually the light stage rauru number 88 a glitch called the wrong warp which can be used to teleport the player from the Deku Tree basement to get on the tower as well as several other locations this glitch can be used to complete the game in a very short period of time number 89 Zelda's Lullaby sounds extremely similar to the song in 1976 concerto for Phil and Ron and Pozos by Mort Garson number 90 the night link fighting in the early Zelda 64 trailer uses the same texture as Metal Mario from Super Mario 64 number 91 the baseline for the song of storms sounds very similar to the baseline for the castle theme from Super Mario World to Yoshi's Island number 92 after killing a redead all the other reads will come and flock and sit next to that fallen enemy it's speculated that the red dots are either mourning the loss of a comrade or they are eating the dead corpse either one of those really explains it for me number 93 the character say Kahn can be seen running around the Hyrule town marketplace if the player speaks to him he will say haha I'm late I'm late for a very important date I wonder where they pulled that one from number 94 a time paradox is created in Ocarina of Time according to guru guru in Kakariko village link plays the song of Strauss's child - sped up the window now Linkous talks the song by gurus and adult because of this the question of who originally composed the song still remains a mystery number 95 in some early versions of games blood can be seen throughout the color band was changed to green in the newer version number 96 the name of Link's horse Epona when translated from Baelish means great mayor and is the Celtic god of horses donkeys and mules remember 97 if you go into the room with the giant statue inside the spirit temple and you aim the hookshot where the nipples used to be you'll find that you can actually drop along to them it's possible that that's a joke by Nintendo seriously nipple grappling number 98 throughout the game you may see a symbol that looks like a crescent moon in the star this symbol can be found on blocks floor switches and even the mirror shield the symbolist caused some controversy as the moon and the stars resemble an Islamic symbol and all new rate releases of the game it has been changed to a new symbol number 99 the music for the fire temple once had chanting as a part of the background music chanting was a stock sound effect that should have been games like crews enrolled for n64 and kokuto trojan for Xbox the changing resembles Enix lammott prayer and seeing the problems that it could have called sometimes decided to change it number 100 according to an interview with Yoshi akka Kazumi and the 225th issue of Nintendo Power the battle against Ganon would resolve around link having to scale his body which would have been gigantic at the time however it was later changed due to how players can be confused in the fight and rendering his colossal body at a steady framerate would have easily strained the n64 hardware number 101 Joelle meg Beth and each the pose in the forest temple are named after the main characters from The Little Women Meg bats Amy and Josephine number 102 the sound of the Warped bristled which can be found in the super Mario's three can be heard in the title team number 103 in the German version of the game the Carpenters are named John Paul George and Ringo after the 60s British pop group The Beatles number 104 it's speculated that the forest and water temples in the ocarina of time were originally wind nice temples the symbol on the water medallion from the water temple appears to have a snowflake on it and the forest medallion design resembles a fan number 105 during beta testing for ocarina of time developers added an arwing to the game to test enemy AI and see targeting well I was never actually used in the game the code can actually still be accessed you could use gameshark or action replay number 106 in the German version of ocarina of time if you speak to Princess Zelda while wearing the Keaton mask she will say what are you oh you're one of those golden little Pocket Monsters right which is somewhat of a reference between the mask and Pikachu number 107 the hylians also known as the highly of people are a
