I Busted 20 Myths In Zelda Ocarina Of Time! #1

Check out more Zelda myth busting videos! - https://youtu.be/HXdeC7Hk4Aw

Drinking a Poe has one of 5 effects. It'll either do nothing at all, heal you for a heart, hurt you for a heart, fully heal you, or leave you with a quarter heart.

7:50 "they don't have any wings" Proceed to show fairy with actual wings (tiny for that big fairy! yeah but existing)

Playing Epona's song for free milk works on every cow, not just the Lon Lon Ranch cows.

The game literally tells you some of these. The deku stick/fairy? A Gossip Stone near the castle tells you. The Sun's Song poem tells you to bring calm to the restless souls who wander where they don't belong.

So the deal with Bongo Bongo's hand being frozen, his eye actually opens while he is trying to break the ice, allowing you to immediately knock him down for an opportunity to damage him.

"Because gambling is fun"

I feel these shouldn't be called myths if they are mostly all true. Rumours, maybe, but not myths. Nor were they really busted.

A lot of people talk about how playing the Song of Storms to a Gossip Stone will cause a big fairy to spawn. But does anyone ever talk about how playing Zelda's Lullaby to a Gossip Stone will cause a standard fairy; the kind that can be bottled as a pseudo-extra life, to spawn?

7:49 Red / large Fairies DO have wings, even in the image you posted. Their light is just much larger, which obscures the wings. 7:57 You cannot "farm" the red / large Fairies in Bottles. Use 'em or lose 'em. 8:23 This works on ANY cow, not just those at Lon Lon Ranch. You can even get Milk from the cow in the grotto just before the eruption gauntlet at the top of Death Mountain. 15:43 The reason this works is because the Ice Arrows were the original dungeon item from the Shadow Temple in the game's beta build. Likewise, the Fire Arrows were originally found in the Water Temple. The developers just never removed the Ice Arrow mechanic from the boss.

how I killed the skull kids for the big rupee was frantically swing at them with the Biggoron sword without targeting and including quick spins. They do allow you to get close to them sometimes especially when they're busy trying to shoot beans at you.

Lol Link drinking "Poe Soda" I did do this once because I was wondering and it gave me 2 hearts I never used them again though. Don't want Link to get POEssessed or something.

The mentioned ways of fairies to spawn with the Song of Storms reminded me of another use of the Song of Storms involving fairies. The trees in the Desert Colossus area, did you notice the dried up basin near them? If you play the Song of Storms near the basin, it will fill up like a spring, and then fairies will spring from the top of the water. Is it perhaps the ruins of an ancient Fairy Fountain? At the very least is a dried-up oasis, but the fact that fairies spring from the water that pools there makes me wonder.

I didn't realise most of these were considered myths, I had definitely known a lot of them from personal experience. There is actually one way to defend yourself against the cucco storm though. Epona. They can't hurt you if you're on Epona.

All of these things were in the Prima Strategy Guide for the game. All the young folks don't know about these magazines :P

4:31 I am sure the guard wouldn't be fired in this case. He would be reassigned to a new position. To Kakariko, Graveyard, ~ 2 meters below the surface. 17:06 You can escape the wrath of the Cucco Horde (which is not in every Zelda Game after OoT as it's notable absent from some such as TP) via another method though. Use Hookshot or Longshot to pull yourself to a sufficiently far-off position. For some reason the enraged chickens aren't programmed to attack the player character but a map area. So you will be safe and can watch the Cucco going ham on nothing.

The 'butterfly turns into a fairy if it follows your stick' is probably a reference/callback to how in Super Mario 64, punching a butterfly would turn it into a 1-Up.

What's up with the description

Wait! Hol' up! The loach doesn't just naturally spawn just when it's early dawn? Is that something the randomizers simplified? I could've sworn that it was as easy as walking into the pond shortly after the cucco announced the new day! Is it a randomizer change, a vanilla thing, or am I just exceptionally lucky now?

4:25 Scratch fired. He would get executed!
