What's The Strongest Attack in Ocarina of Time?

Script and editing by me

1:18 the rumor is, one of the devs tried to kill a spider in their office with a hammer, and kept failing miserably. They programed the immunity into the game simply as a joke

Ok but the fact that an glitch causes you to attack with nothing on your hand but still applies all the status effects of the game including 2 BETA ABILITIES IS INSANE

Great video!

With the hammer jump attacks, I'm sure I watched another video where it explains that one of the developers tried to kill a spider in the office by jumping around with a hammer (I think), missing and completely failing to kill it, so one of the other team coded this in as they thought it was funny. I don't think any type of spider in the game can be killed by a hammer jump attack for this reason!

This was extremely interesting, well explained, and well spoken. Your writing, delivery, and pacing were excellent. Great video.

The most powerful attack is emotional damage, when Link is left all alone in the end.

If you look at the structure of the damage values in code, the hammer jump slash is not only at the bottom, suggesting it was added last, possibly after the skulltula was finished, but it is in a sea of removed values, so it may have been missed.

The strongest thing in Hyrule is backshots to a furry

You have a knack for properly mixing knowledge and presentation. I consider myself pretty OOT/MM versed, but the way you format your videos felt like watching a great refresher course. I also love how you properly touch on math.

3:35 that crouch stab information is so incredibly useful, I can't wait to play through lozoat again

[SeedyZ]

I never knew empty jumpslash was a thing! I thought it was just QPA that gave that glitched damage value.

6:39 possible theory, perhaps Link was intended to use the Iron Knuckles’ weapons against them. Would make sense why only Iron Knuckles are affected by it since those rooms would be the only place Link could use those weapons.

8:30 so youre telling me i have been doing 32 dmg to those doggos all this time (i have been hitting their tail with well placed biggoron jumpslashes)

[CWCvilleCop]

How did you know that this is the video I've wanted to watch for my entire life?

[Soulintent]

That thumbnail made me just wanna take a second to appreciate how the kokiri sword is just the old master sword. Especially in smash melee where it was longer. That is the exact earlier design of the master sword.

[RenegadeGamer]

All this time I thought you could only kill Wolfos by hitting them in the back.

[starchris]

Awesome video Danny, I always love to know random stuff like this in Zelda games and the strongest attack in the game is pretty cool lol
Keep up the great work!

Since this topic of damage included weaknesses and resistances, it's applicable to state here that the Flare Dancer's weakness/resistance table is weird. Even just looking at swords, it's weak to Master Sword jump slashes and resistant to Biggoron's Sword jump slashes. A single Master Sword jump slash is enough to advance a Flare Dancer to its next phase (or defeat it if it's on green), but a Biggoron's Sword jump slash does the same amount of damage to it as a standard slash.

For anyone curious, the sword silhouette in the video thumbnail is a Kit Rae fantasy sword called Valermos, the Sword of Fire.

7:44 he should have stayed flat is hilarious 😂

[TheBreadPirate]

Wow! I had no idea butt attacks were so powerful.
