Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 0:00Dunkey starts with the updated graphics and remastered soundtrack.
  2. 1:08Kokiri Forest becomes a testing ground for jumping and swimming.
  3. 6:17An angry Castle Town resident is looking for her missing dog, Richard.
  4. 7:44A flock of Cuccos overwhelms Link in Kakariko Village.
  5. 12:59Lake Hylia brings a meeting with Pierre and a fishing-pond detour.
  6. 15:45King Zora takes his time sliding out of the way.

For a creator whose archive includes "Dundertale" and "Legend of Zelda : Donkey Breath", calling a video simply "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" is enough to start a conversation. Several videogamedunkey viewers have made the unaltered title a joke of its own, reading it as a sign of affection. The description, naturally, sneaks in "ocarina of limes" instead.

That was the channel's only new upload this week, and it has reached roughly 3.5 million views. Dunkey opens by admiring the remastered soundtrack: "The remastered music, man. It's beautiful." Then he gets to work testing the jump button, cutting plants and signs with the Kokiri Sword, and discovering that improved mobility doesn't guarantee survival against angry Cuccos.

The comments mix memories with imagined alternatives. Some viewers expected a shot-for-shot recreation of his old video; others thought he might spend the entire runtime in Kokiri Forest. The long, slow business of King Zora moving aside also gets its own discussion, right down to the repeated camera cuts.

Across the channel, the week brought about six million views and no net change in subscribers. The daily viewing pace is now below half its usual level, but Zelda remains comfortably its busiest video, with far more daily attention than "Call of Duty 24 : Modern Warfare 4" or "Star Wars Galactic Racer". One new trip through Hyrule supplied most of this week's fresh material, from an appreciative opening to a fishing-pond detour.

What viewers say

  • I immediately knew Dunkey truly enjoyed this game because he didn't change the name in the slightest
  • I half expected Dunkey to release his old video again with the script re-recorded and footage from the new game replacing the old footage 1:1.
  • I fully expected this to be 16 minutes of Kokiri Forest

  • If this was the old dunkey, this video would just be footage of him playing the 1998 version.

  • 16:13 choosing Sheik's theme as the outro is the only correct song choice
  • The craziest thing about this game is how it was the Ocarina the whole Time
  • In all seriousness, I'm so glad King Zora still moves like that

  • Good to know that after all these years they found Richard
