Well...not ALL of the water in Hyrule...

Kakariko gets its water from a burial chamber full of rotting corpses and a portal to the underworld. So, maybe King Zora's bathwater isn't so bad...?

[Cameytoe]

"This does mean that Hyrule's entire water supply runs under King Zora's balls."
I could've gone the rest of my life without knowing this, that would have been great

[SirPonnd]

The trivia fact that there is an annual memorial service that is held all around Hyrule for all the animals people use for medicinal purposes is easily the most interesting fact on this list for me! That's confirmation of an actual Hyrulean holiday! And it's such a creative one too!

[pokeace]

I always believed that the drawing of Link battling a monster on his treehouse is what he wanted to be: A hero and what he wanted to become which he eventually did. That's what I believe anyway. Pretty cool

[lordravenblade]

I always took the broken Biggoron Sword to be an example of why you always use the correct tool for the job. If the carpenter was using it to chop wood because he couldn't find his saw, even a super high quality blade made for combat would go dull and break extremely quickly.

[drygnfyre]

One of my favorite things about OoT was how organic the dungeons felt. The Fire Temple being inside Spectacle Rock is a good example of that. Or how with the Spirit Temple, you're literally scaling the giant rock that contains the Goddess of the Sand, and the items are found on the hands. I think it's one of the reasons the OoT dungeons have stuck with me for so long.

I really like this format of numbering the facts very subtly. Doesn't interrupt the flow of the video as much. Very well done, thank you!

[firesnakex]

"Considering how King Zora and Princess Ruto look, the queen would have had to be quite beautiful"

Damn you didn't have to do the king dirty like that.

[sydc]

Speaking of Dark Link, I think Shiek knew about him. He gives Link a hint about it while teaching him the Serenade of Water, saying, "Reflect upon yourself." It's possible that Zelda had a prophetic dream about the fight, or went to the Water Temple herself and encountered her own reflection.

I love this series! I didn't notice some of this stuff, like the tiger cub, the poor treatment of the frog, or the missing graveyard kid.
I would love to see an episode like this on Majora's Mask!

[ifnxjnr]

I definitely think the Composer Brothers are Sheikah. They don't seem young enough to only have been born after Impa opened the village to regular people, they specifically talk about being "born to serve the Royal Family" which is something the Sheikah take particular pride in, and the fact that they're researchers studying the power of the Royal Family mirrors the way the Sheikah are depicted as being keepers and seekers of secret knowledge in most of the games.

[jonsmith]

The Poe sisters bit with Meg crying really surprised me, I feel so bad for them now.

[justinlaboy]

I love when Zeltik makes long videos. After I watch them, these are what I sleep to every night for months. It was originally the Strongest Link video, now I have all these new long ones lol

[emmamiller.]

You know its a good day when Zeltik posts

[ImusakHctividar]

The fact that gerudo heads are modeled inside the iron knuckles blew my mind. All these years later and I'm still learning new things about this game. It really is a wonderful work of art.

[TheOneGuy]

Nabooru's story is the most disturbing part of the game for me. Imagine being brainwashed into serving your enemy and acting contrary to your values for 7 years, causing suffering and gaining a reputation for cruelty despite that cruelty being not of your own will. To me that's far more horrifying than any redead.

[ZiggyMandarr]

I remember never realizing that the Fire Temple was meant to be built into the spires of the crater. When I got older and realized it, it blew my mind.

[kevinr.]

An interpretation of the Broken Goron Sword that I've seen tossed around is that the Biggoron Sword will never break when used properly, but since the carpenter wasn't using the sword as a sword, he put strain on it in ways that it simply wasn't designed for.

[ElleRoni]

So: the cucco lady studies breeding miniature cuccos at the lakeside lab. The potion shop lady also studied at the lab, and has a small tiger on her desk. The tiger is probably not a kitten, but a full grown miniature tiger.

[TrueTrickster]

Can't believe the Kid in the Graveyard became a Skull Kid, that's really sad.
