Video Games 101 Tackles Ocarina of Time

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has a reputation of being one of the “best” games ever made. Professor Brigands of VG101 recently spent around twelve hours making a video walkthrough of the whole thing, even finding every Heart Piece, and even every Gold Skulltula, despite the fact, as they say frequently, that the reward is in no way worth it. Each video is approximately three hours long; maybe you can have it playing in the background while doing other things.

First video (beginning to the end of the second dungeon + extras):

Second video (Jabu-Jabu’s Belly through to the end of the Forest Temple):

Third video (the Fire Temple, the Water Temple and the fetch quest to get Biggoron’s Sword):

Fourth video (The Shadow and Spirit Temples and the end):

Is that not enough? Rival channel U Can Beat Video Games has been churning through all of Final Fantasy VI (a.k.a. III, it’s complicated), having done five videos so far with one left to go, with videos ranging in length between 3⅓ to 4 hours: Part OnePart TwoPart ThreePart FourPart Five.

Sundry Sunday: Megalixir

Sundry Sunday is our weekly feature of fun gaming culture finds and videos, from across the years and even decades.

A really recent one this time! BitFinity, a.k.a. Matthew Taranto, who made Brawl in the Family and a fair amount of Waluigi music, animated and wrote this terrific little song about item hording in Final Fantasy VI, sung by Taylor Robinson.
