Let's Play A Link to the Past #02 - Don't Eat the Mushroom

[EndlessNytemare]

holy smokes 16,000 views and no dislikes dude you rock!

[SchlossRitter]

Infected Mushroom?

I see you're OCD about killing everything even when you don't need to, just like me.

I'm into real RPGs too, but Zelda II took way too long to level, and the action got too hard in spots.

I've beaten this game long ago, but when I played recently, Link actually died in the sewers due to my keyboard not letting me move and attack at the same time.

[jedisociety]

ProtonJon disapproves (-10)

[ooggabooga54]

How come in different games, Link and Zelda have different childhoods?

[chapacoka]

@ooggabooga54 What do you mean?

[ooggabooga54]

@chapacoka Like in Ocarina of Time, Link and Zelda are on land. But in Skyward Sword, when they're older, Zelda said she wonders what it's like to be on the surface, "Land". So obviously somethings going on here.

[golbezchaoslord]

hmm majora's mask was good, but not my favorite 4 main dugeons. just didn't do it for me. no dugeon at all has come close to topping the fire temple for favorite dugeon.

[123jeune]

dont eat da mushroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[Charmolution]

Zelda's in your hands?

Sounds vulgar.

[JHawkeye9000]

Why the heck would the bandit tell you that it's their hideout?

[Spikester55]

zelda is your destiny......that's what he meant

[x7VI7VJAv]

Zelda is your destiny

[LunarianCrystal]

"Zelda is your... responsibility"<<

[eddog6666]

HcBailly what is your take on the Zelda Timeline, Spilt or Lineaur? I think I havre a good guess.

[letsplayerwannabe]

@eddog6666 lemme clear it for you bailly,

He meant:

HcBailly, what is your take on the Zelda Timeline, Split or Linear? I think I have a good guess.

Basically, he's asking you, do you give a damn about the timeline, and if you do, which one do you like better?

[eddog6666]

@letsplayerwannabe Thanks for clearing that up. I always misspell the word linear unless it's near by. come tell me your idea. I have a really good idea and I would like to see if someone can check it out.

[teefa85]

Yeah, that's one of the things I like most about Zelda games. I like looking around for everything and exploring the world. My mother and I were playing this earlier in the year and we were having a grand old time collecting everything.

[Brennan75]

why is his hair pink? o.O

[ARandomUser5]

Awww yeah another Majora's Mask fan, hi-five HCBailly!

[thekyster07]

The monsters have rupees because monsters need to buy food too, you know!

[JadePharaoh]

Yeah, that's why I liked Oracle of Seasons a bit more than Ages; the latter had a lot more mini-games for almost everything which I felt slowed the pace of the game down.

[SmellsLikeDarkside]

Haha nice dragon ball z reference.

[RockBanned]

Yeah I've never understood why there's such hatred for Zelda 2. It's one of my favorites in the series. You can't really blame them for making it side scrolling and going against "tradition" because there was only one Zelda game before that. I guess the one downside is the lack of puzzles, but still, it was awesome in my opinion.

[326Sirian]

Nothing travels faster then the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news which obey its own special laws.

[Ui2019]

Damn, I haven't played this one in 15 years or more... Gotta replay and then come back to this LP

[PianoManT]

Ah, good old "Kakariko Village." Twenty years later, and I still can't get enough of that song.

[Kengirl01]

@PianoManT One of the things that annoyed me about Twilight Princess was the fact that the Kakariko Village music sounded way off. This is my favorite song from LttP and OoT.

[KarlBonner1982]

3:27 ..."One of TWO items that could let us get through there."

Clever foreshadowing...

[Buretsu]

"Zelda is... your problem now, chump.."

[aquaguy34]

Nice ProtonJon reference

[ChaosBahamut]

Fun fact about the fortune teller, when you have your fortune read your health also gets a complete refill. (at least in the GBA version) There are other (free) ways of getting healed, but when you're in a pinch you'll be wise to take what you can get.

[comedycurtis]

In the Japanese translation of the 'Uncle Dies' scene, he is quoted as saying "Zelda is your destiny.".

[ElfSponge]

Rakes are MY greatest foe!

[OnePieceFollower]

How dare you mix in piss ass DBZ into the greatness that is Zelda?

[ruffmajor]

@OnePieceFollower Dragon quest is not Dragon ball.

[OnePieceFollower]

@ruffmajor ... okay

I meant when HCB said 'Kakarrot'

[DistadaeD]

Do I smell a Runaway Guys reference in this title?

[terryrds]

The one thing that always struck me about this game was that you technically saved princess zelda and hyrule is fine but yet you still have an entire quest...

[KingOfHalla]

@terryrds Aghanim killed the king. Was sacrificing women. And theres other stuff wrong too.. How is Hyrule fine? >>

[thebeefmaster]

One of the things I actually liked the most about Majora's Mask were the mini-games.

[Biospark88]

Yep, I have the GBA version, and the script was changed quite a bit. It feels less awkward and stilted than the original, and some things are renamed or rephrased (Seven Sages, for example)

[AhziDahaka]

I'm one of the rare people in the "didn't like Majora's Mask" camp. I found the game to be completely unimmersive. "What's the Cucco Lady doing here? What's up with these Malon clones? Why is Ruto wearing a dress now?" The least they could have done was recolor the textures or something, but instead I kept getting reminded of how much I'd rather be playing Ocarina of Time. There's more to it than that, but alas, there is but so much time and character space one has.

[Dratenburg]

ZOMG DID YOU NOTICE HOW BOTH THE TOP COMMENTS ARE BY THE SAME GUY?!?!?

[aquaguy34]

HCBailly + NCS = Win!

[EricStelzman]

Did you know that there was a manga adaptation of A Link to the Past by Shotaro Ishinomori (creator of Cyborg 009)?

[Terestrasz]

Apparently Link's uncle was supposed to say "Zelda is your destiny" but it didn't fit and the translators decided to have a bit of fun.

[Rusaarules]

"Blocks! My greatest foe." should be a t-shirt.

[Zalis116]

@Rusaarules If I remember the enclosed instruction book correctly, it actually had a hint saying "Help, I can't get out of the castle tunnels!" "Try pushing the blocks in your way."

[Blackdrake1]

Whenever it gets cold I don't feel like doing anything, but Cooking or sleeping. I really need to finish up Super Mario Galaxy 2 now that I've unlocked the Green Stars.

[PrinceDoebler]

Little tidbit: If you don't have the lamp, you cannot push the shelf.

[proadam09]

Hey HC I'm curious as to why Majora's Mask is your favorite in the series. I really thought LttP would be your number 1, as it was a snes game (your favorite era of games?) thus had the graphics and music sound you love, as well as a handful of dungeons and a decent difficulty level (challenging compared to future additions to the series). Care to elaborate on what you loved so much about MM?

[HCBailly]

@proadam09 Majora's Mask is the only game in the series that I've played that I felt had a great plot, quality NPCs, and kickass music. Generally, I feel the focus of the Zelda series on the gameplay, but MM really took the other aspects to another level.

[myohel0]

@HCBailly I personally feel Majora's Mask has a huge amount of personality for a Zelda game, not to mention it's the only Zelda game where I can truly imagine myself as a resident of the game's world. I truly feel sucked into Majora's Mask when I play it, that I know some things about it by heart :)

[MisterCrim]

@HCBailly It's ironic that you say that. Eiji Aonuma has said in interviews (especially for SS) that he prefers to build a game's story around the gameplay instead of the other way around. Frankly, as far as adventure games go, I have to agree with that. It's why Darksiders and Brave Fencer Musashi are good. RPGs are easier since the story and the gameplay elements can and often are separate

[SmellsLikeDarkside]

@HCBailly It felt like the side quests were more important then the main quest which was cool each NPC had a story to tell. MM is currently tied with OoT because It was my first Zelda.

[spudnspud]

@HCBailly

Hey HC Bailey? Have you played The Wind Waker yet? Majora's Mask is also my favorite too, but I feel TWW also had amazing music and a great story. It follows the traditional Zelda path, but the characters and writing is superb and great,

[showstopgamer]

@proadam09 MAJORAS MASK ROCKS.the graphics rock,storys origonal, thairs more masks,and the wepons are awsome.ITS THE BEST IN THE SERIES

[PaperSpock]

Hey, I can't remember, are you supposed to disappear when you take damage, or is that an effect of the medium you're playing on?

[proadam09]

I'm sad that this a side LP... I am refreshing my youtube subscriptions every 15 minutes to see if a LttP HC LP video has been posted. Sad panda.

[AlbatorScourge]

Lol @ SotN reference.

[abadlex]

Are you going to show off the super-secret room?

[NurseRekka]

Something I noticed with SNES Zelda with sword swings. The further you are away, feels like a grazing/glancing blow = 2 hits. The closer I was it seemed like a one shot. Can't verify this, but it makes sense in reality. More sword = more hurt. Just a thought... OR maybe I just got really into it. >_>

[mhall47685]

Oh how I love the snes days, so many great games. While there are some great games in the present. Nothing brings as much nostalgia, and ability to replay a game over and over as much as the earlier games do

[AerithyZacky]

Omg not seen this game in years, I was never good at it as a kid and always used to pull the wrong damn lever~!! XD Oh lol, happy days~

[jammo2000]

Zelda 2 hatedom is a case of "It's different therefore it sucks"

It's good for what it is.  People shouldn't judge games by comparing them to others. They should judge them by their own merits. How you tell if you think a game is good. Ask yourself. "Are you having fun?". If you say yes it's a good game.

[proadam09]

@jammo2000 I completely agree. And this theory can be applied to more then just games. People hated Metallica's St. Anger because it lacked in comparison to their other albums, but was fine for what it was. In the video game world, Final Fantasy XII and XIII fall under this theory for sure. Both were great titles but they innovate and develop and the series instead of just cloning FF7, so people dislike them. The theory of "it's different so it sucks" is definitely valid.

[duncanidaho7]

Any sequence breaking?

[SomeKindOfDoctor]

That 10 minutes went by way too fast, loving the series :)

[SongoftheLute]

I would like to see the very first two zelda games, but people tell me they are really hard to play.

[FlamesUnderneath]

@SongoftheLute Look up NintendoCapriSun's Channel, he has LP'd them. Infat, I believe he has top comment on this vid right now, click his name.

[SongoftheLute]

@FlamesUnderneath Thanks for telling me, I didn't know about the LP's. I love looking at the roots of games to see how they have developed into the games I love.

[ryanphoenix]

07:33 Don't hear many people claim Majora's Mask as their favorite in the series. It's not my favorite, but definitely up there. Loved all the sidequests & characters for that game. I'm glad to see that you are going for as much of the side items as possible right away. That's personally how I play the game myself.

[Semiomniscient]

I really enjoy watching these on my lunch breaks. I teach at a pretty rough school, so seeing these bits of my childhood really make me feel better. HC, you the man!

[TheBoshman95]

Rupees are easier to get than gil...

[MrSteveHazzard]

I have a sick love for both Majora's Mask and Zelda 2, between those 2 and Link to the Past are probably my favourite in the series.

[Cheerfuljochan]

Awesome! :D I was waiting for more Zelda love ^_^

[ethershine0]

There are actually three items that will let you get through that cracked wall.

[drunyon214]

@ethershine0 What's the third item?

[Mrcarzylegoguy]

Heck Yeah More zelda!

[MatsukaAtsushi]

@HCBailly Are you doing SD3 as a co-op LP? Or just on your own?

[MikeyS9607]

Fuck, a really depressing ad always comes on before a happy LP doesn't it? Good as usual Baily!

[OmegaCoolsterDX]

"this isn't actually RPG" i personally thought Zelda series genre was Action RPG, but i can be wrong ;p

[StanleyIRichards]

I'd like to see if there's a person who's played Final Fantasy but not Zelda.

[karagkiozis1821]

@StanleyIRichards Me.Played all Final Fantasy main games (none of the spinoffs),but none of the Zelda games because I HATE HATE HATE...HATE HATE Nintendo.

[RDV333]

@karagkiozis1821 Since when does hating a company invalidate the enjoyment of their product?

[karagkiozis1821]

@RDV333 I just can't get into them.I don't like action RPGs.

[Waterwish545]

Wow, I never get that many rupees with the rats, they don't like me much.

[ReloadPsi]

I like Zelda II for a few reasons, least of all the fact it doesn't feel like a carbon copy among the many other carbon copies in the series.

I could never get enough of fighting the Iron Knuckles in that game.

[BurningVortex]

Oh my god! Majora's mask is my favourite, too! :D

[superstickman42]

HCBailly, Is it a coincidence that all of your favourite games and movies involve a element of time travel/changing of time periods?

But HCBailly what about triple TRIAD (unless you don't count that as a mini game)

[CptRoboto]

Glad to see you're doing this game. Thanks. Feels like Christmas past.

[Swepaat]

"Die birdie! you don´t belong in this world!" i see what you did there.

[shinrenx]

Heck yea! Majora's Mask, Link to the Past and the original Legend of Zelda are the all-time top3 Zelda games, hands down. The actual order I'm not too sure about, but Majora probably deserves the top spot. Heck, it's the only Zelda that has any character development!

[CobraCommanderNLD]

Bet you gonna do Palpetine's UNLIMITED POAWH!!!! When Aghanim shoots lightning instead of a ball :P

[AND4H]

Funny tidbit, if you don't have the lamp, the game will not let you move the shelf in the throne room.

[5k4k1dhtp]

Hey! Majora's Mask is my favorite too!

[NintendoCapriSun]

Zelda is your density. I mean, your destiny. To me, it really takes three things to make an RPG: Two or more playable characters, experience levels, and damage numbers. Zelda 2 feels pretty close to one though, despite only having one of those things. Always elated to see Majoras get some love.

[NintendoCapriSun]

@NintendoCapriSun Actually now that I think about it, I do consider Dragon Warrior an RPG despite only having one playable character, so I guess it's variable.

[RealSolidSalamander]

@NintendoCapriSun Stop talking to yourself. :P

[ktsjr15]

@NintendoCapriSun Yea, in my opinion majoras mask and zelda 2 are the closest zelda games to true rpgs, while true you are playing the role of link, but considering that majoras mask technically had more than one playable character, and zelda 2 had the level up system it takes for a good rpg, all in all both of them were great games.

[Arachi123]

@NintendoCapriSun I don't really consider "Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask" much of an RPG. I find it closer to an action/adventure game with RPG elements. I still find it a great game though. In the end, I believe the classification of an RPG game is completely subjective.

Ps. This is the 3rd comment of your's I've commented on. I guess that makes me a youtube stalker XD Great Vids by the way.

[FlamesUnderneath]

@NintendoCapriSun IMO, those terms go to JRPG's, because RPG's in America is apparently a much broader term.

[proadam09]

@NintendoCapriSun Two or more playable characters? So Bethesda's games aren't rpg's!?!?! Re-consider your criteria my friend.

In the same regard, Zelda II is a still side-scrolling adventure game, but it definitely has core RPG elements.

[EvilCronos13]

yay comments are working again. Youtube managed to mess them up earlier today and nothing I typed would post

[EvilCronos13]

This is interesting. The last LP of LttP that I watched had the first pendent by the end of the second video. But he didn't get everything. I always seem to be missing 1 or 2 hearts at the end of the game, I'm ready to learn where they are :)

[Reanchi]

I always figured he would say "Zelda is your Destiny"

which it is.

[firdauskotp]

cool



[L3WCore]

I mean how could the news travel fast if there was no one left to give the news. I mean it looked like you took out almost ever knight in the castle and the King's dead. I mean who would you believe a suspicious wizard or an innocent (six year old child lol) Idk you got me there HCBailly and I played this game too many times to count. If only there was a way to travel to through time..oh wait wrong game :)

[Ace24Warrior]

Only HCBailly could make a reference to his own Let's Play

[Skaeryll]

Proton Jon reference in title?

[jayzien]

Because as we ALL know, HCBailly will choose the wrong switch for completion's sake.

[nickarnoeyts]

"Little boy! You must kill the wizard! And we can't send you any help."

[chrisbg99]

Makes me want to play ALttP again this year. But I still have Skyward Sword to finish up.

Great game though and I always love watching people play through it even if I know the game way better than I need to. I think I have beaten it around 30+ times in my life.

[Bioarmor]

Crossing fingers for ffxii xD

[Hriedmarrj]

Zelda... is your... destiny.

[ff2paladin]

also, I know this goes without saying, but will you be angering the chickens in town?

[qwertyalain]

Man, how I missed my daily dose of Bailly.

[Dominic078]

classic

[kerplop]

Do you know the trick to getting a full load of bombs right on your first trip into town?

[MasterLinit]

I'd love to see you Lp Majora's Mask some day too. =]

[ZearouAyedea]

Ganondorf disliked this video.

[HerrShaun]

6:50 It is not by my hand that I am once again given feathers!

[puwexil608]

Whoa - think this is the first time I've heard HCBailly quote Symphony of the Night.

[axemranger]

Majora's Mask is my favorite from the series as well. Although, Skyward Sword was absolutely fantastic.

[Xx1shotdudexX]

you know what else has endless minigames just to continue on in the story, the ratchet and clank games, except for deadlock and all 4 one. so if you dislike minigames that much then avoid that series, (even though it would be nice to see you play some of them)

[42jemini]

In that passage between the castle and the Church HCBaily, the enemies that take 1 hit are rats and the ones that take 2 hits are snakes.

[DancingWithBarrels]

@HCBailly would you ever LP that Castlevania game? (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.)

[TheDeathToaster]

I love you HC Bailly!

[SykotikKytten]

So, Skyward Sword LP? i know one of my favorite LPers is going to do it, i'm wondering who's going to be first. i can't play the game, but i'm extremely excited for *someone* to do a LP of it. xD

[membou]

Wow, red rupee from a rat. I did a bit of a double-take on that one; never seen that before.

[HCBailly]

@membou I get that all the time.

[ff2paladin]

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure BTW that Link's uncle isn't dead.

[SilentWeaponsIII]

And it would have been interesting if Majora's Mask actually was an RPG with Link, Tatl, Mikau, Darmani, and the Deku as a party.

[manbearpigsereal]

Mr. Bailly should totally play 3D Dot Game Heroes, or Alundra.

Both amazing Zelda-esque games.

Pretty tough too.

[bingostar826]

chuggaconroy just finished majoras mask now this!??! the goddesses have smiled upon us!

[PTp1ranha]

@bingostar826 And with Skyward Sword and Ocarina of Time 3D, this seems to be an overall good year to be a Zelda fan.

[scarletspeed7]

So, um, is this INSTEAD of Seiken Densetsu 3? No complaints, just curious. Thought that was next.

[HCBailly]

@scarletspeed7 My previous two side LPs went shorter than expected. I wanted to have at least a few months between SD3 LPs, so I figured I'd throw this one in too.  SD3 will be next.

[scarletspeed7]

@HCBailly Understood. So will there be a similar gap between the two remaining paths on SD3? I'm loving the surprise Zelda regardless, so thanks for the update!

[kingk1132]

@HCBailly in OoT how do you pronounce Cojiro

me i pronounce it as Coh-Ji-Roh

[daemoth0]

@HCBailly have you ever done Star ocean 2 for ps1? its really nice if you can get your hands on it.

[kirbyman100]

@daemoth0 omg yes! I love Star Ocean 2!

[KentoKaima]

lol its seems the enemies in skyward sword can't see two feet to the left or right of them and can barley see in front of them,its pretty hilarious how ridiculous it is ^_^

[vandal357]

lttp! maybe OoT one day!!

[paloom]

HCBailly you the man!

[pearstrike]

and minish cap has 44 heart pieces which is ridiculously a lot for a 2d zelda game

[Eliskor]

So possible Majora's Mask LP in the future? :O Since it is your favorite and all. Please??? xD

[Eliskor]

@MrZapalot2000 HCBailly should've replied to this "remember this comment for later, viewers". Would've been epic. :)

[SilentWeaponsIII]

@4:12 Skroob reference? "I don't know what to do. I can't make decisions, I'm a president!"

[HolyHeeroYui]

Ah~ HCBaily loves Majora's Mask too. <3

I love that game to death. There's actually a lot more story to the game then a lot of people, even reviewers, give that game credit for.

I so hope Nintendo remakes Majora's Mask for the 3DS like they did for OOT.

[scarletspeed7]

@HolyHeeroYui I read an interview with Aonuma (I think) who said that they'd like to make a Majora's Mask for 3DS, but are looking for a way for players to play it more leisurely so they don't have to save by going back in time or finding a statue, but can save on the fly (ie: in a dungeon).

[Vandalia1998]

@MrZapalot2000 The color of the Grass maybe?

[mkstragon]

BLOCKS!! my greatest foe!

[DemonKingAtticus]

When you consider that the village isn't too far from the castle, having a wanted sign up isn't too out of the question.

[AsahinaShugenja]

@DemonKingAtticus I once named Link "Ganon", so that Ganon would be wanted by the King of Hyrule!

[KuroroSama42]

@MrZapalot2000 Random walls... oh wait.

[Dyluck387]

Majora's Mask is my favourite in the series too. I just can't get enough of sidequests and secret items in general.

[Kidlink77]

Albeit Majoras Mask was a solid Zelda game, it doesn't make my top 5 Zelda games. Out of the top 10, it would be number 7 or 8. The ammount of sidequests and heartpieces just wears on one. Still a good game though. Link to the Past? Definitely number 3.

[pryt86]

i dont remember alot of mini games in majoras mask. Mind telling me which mini games ur talkin about

[42ndIcicle]

4:15

Pull the left switch, or the right switch? I'll have to think this one carefully.

[Artenuga]

How long is this game compared to Link's Awakening?

[VideoSayg]

@Artenuga It is a bit shorter

[peddle1993]

Those rats have rupees on them because they are Packrats that stole them from others. 

[TheZaneyGamer]

Is this a casual playthrough of a Link to the past or will you being doing a 100% run? also i love your run so far. I look forward to the rest of your LP. I have played this game to death because it is my favorite Zelda game (really i have played this game 3 times for my channel and over 50 times just for fun). I LOVE THIS GAME!!!

[HCBailly]

@TheZaneyGamer You haven't watched my videos very long, have you? :)  Yes, this will be a 100% run.

[TheZaneyGamer]

@HCBailly Oh really. Awesome i cannot wait to see your entire Let's Play! :D

[Vandalia1998]

@HCBailly

You do 100% Since when did yo ustart doing that? =p

[Vandalia1998]

@TheZaneyGamer I got this game as soonas it came out or maybe a week later

[TheZaneyGamer]

@Vandalia1998 I think my sister got it a week after it came out. i was not even one yet when it came out. My favorite Zelda game came out the year i was born.

[berserkberserker]

Majoras Mask LP

Majoras Mask LP

Majoras Mask LP

gogogo

[BankaiKisuke]

Do you really want to pack your bags and go home HCBailly? *history node appears*

[RochanaFree]

Is it just me, or does Link look like he never changed out of his pajamas in this game?
