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
@quandy6178See it on YouTubeI 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.
@jordan_w20See it on YouTubeI 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.
@lildrawhub1025See it on YouTube16:13 choosing Sheik's theme as the outro is the only correct song choice
@AllyAliasSee it on YouTubeThe craziest thing about this game is how it was the Ocarina the whole Time
@mabbott154See it on YouTubeIn all seriousness, I'm so glad King Zora still moves like that
