Discussion Theory: Did Mido Always Know Link Wasn’t a Kokiri?

Thumbnail
gallery
258 Upvotes

The Kokiri are the eternal children of the forest. And one detail that I’ve never really seen discussed is what that would have meant when Link first arrived.
According to the backstory, Link’s mother, gravely injured while fleeing the Hyrulean Civil War, brought her baby to the Great Deku Tree. If the Kokiri remain children indefinitely, then some of the Kokiri we meet in the game could have already been there when this happened. Mido, Saria, and possibly others may have actually watched Link grow from a baby into the child we play as at the beginning of the game.
And that makes me look at Mido a little differently.
We already know there are plenty of reasons for Mido to be jealous of Link. Saria clearly cares deeply about Link, despite Mido having feelings for her. The Great Deku Tree also seems to favor Link, which Mido openly resents. But there’s another thing Mido constantly holds over Link’s head: he doesn’t have a fairy.

To everyone else, Link is the strange Kokiri boy without a fairy. But what if Mido knows the actual reason? What if he remembers that Link was never a Kokiri in the first place?
That would give a little more weight to Mido constantly telling Link that he isn’t “one of us.” Even after Link finally receives Navi from the Great Deku Tree, Mido still refuses to accept him. The fairy was never really the problem. In Mido’s eyes, Link was an outsider from the moment he arrived in the forest.
His hostility could still absolutely stem from jealousy, bullying, and his feelings for Saria, but underneath all of that could be something much older: Mido remembers where Link came from.
I think the remake could do something really interesting with this without changing the original story at all. Even a small line, memory, or interaction acknowledging that some of the Kokiri remember Link being brought to the forest could add a surprising amount of depth to Mido and his relationship with Link.
So, what do you guys think? Does the remake have the potential to expand upon something like this to give Mido more depth?

Screenshot Just acquired the end game fashion statement on my 3 heart challenge run. Tough stuff.

I'm doing three heart challenge, avoiding the golden gauntlets, doing the spirit temple first so I can mix things up and also rock my fashion statement for an extra temple. Fighting the axe dude is tough, doing the two without bombchuing them to death which isn't my style will be hard as balls. One hit ko 2 with nayrus love activated. I got hit once on the mirror shield fight on a stupid error, and when I was getting revived by my fairy, he isntantly took another fairy before I even started getting up, total glitch, so I threw a couple chus at him to even the score then dueled him. The big gorons blade is so fun, so is dodging bs shielding, and it's bad ass. Either the two of them bad boos or ganon + ganondorf will be the hardest fight in the game. Shadow temple boss and water temple boss both annoying AF with three hearts.

Might as well play the hell out of the old one before the new one releases!

Do the three heart challenge without cheating I dare you and you aren't allowed to get the golden gauntlets with the half damage white heart border at the end.

To get in the mood for the new remake, I put together a medley of tunes from the game using my voice and a variety of instruments. Hopefully it gets you in the mood as well! I can’t wait to see how they handle the soundtrack in the remake.

I reimagined Inside the Deku Tree in Minecraft

Over the last couple months, I've been reimagining Ocarina of Time in Minecraft. I'm 3 episodes in at this point, having recreated all of Kokiri Forest, the Lost Woods and Sacred Forest Meadow, with the most recent one focusing on Inside the Deku Tree. I've been avoiding the typical 1 for 1 recreation of Ocarina of Time that has been done so many times before, and am reworking details to feel more alive. Let me know what you think!

What a charming experience OOT has been, showing very few signs of its age, in fact even though it’s a few years older than me and my experience with early 3D games is limited I was surprised by how familiar Ocarina felt, realising Id seen these concepts in some of my favourite modern games that must have taken at least a little inspiration from this game. The soulsborne games are one example for me but there were many other games that I felt reminded of during my playthrough.

Onto Majoras now, but will miss Ocarinas opening title screen which I think may be the single best video game start menu.

A discussão sobre a nota de Ocarina of Time.

3 Upvotes

Após assistir a um vídeo no YouTube de um usuário corrigindo a nota de Ocarina of Time, eu notei um fato curioso: as reviews que ele considera, embora sejam de mídia especializada, eram majoritariamente pertencentes a revistas anglofonas. Isso me deixou curioso: qual seria a nota de Ocarina of Time, considerando a mídia especializada mundial? Então resolvi pesquisar, e após algumas horas, cheguei a esse resultado. Os critérios utilizados foram: mídia especializada e apenas publicações entre 1998 e 1999, sem notas retroativas por nenhum site. Foi uma pesquisa feita por uma pessoa só, então podem conter alguns erros e imprecisões, mas cheguei a 149 reviews e média 97. A média é puxada para baixo por duas notas especificas: um 8/10 e um 8.5/10, consideradas bem abaixo pelo fato de que praticamente todas as demais notas estão acima de 94.

Também apliquei essa metodologia a Super Mario 64(encontrei a nota 97) e Chrono Trigger(96). Curiosamente, eu notei que todos os jogos mais bem-avaliados da atualidade caem em média cerca de 2 pontos ao incluir as notas da imprensa mundial: GTA 4 cai para cerca de 95, assim como GTA 3, enquanto GTA 5 fica em torno de 97 arredondando, assim como Red Dead Redemption 2. É válido destacar que, se utilizarmos as avaliações físicas para jogos antigos, assim como as avaliações de canais de mídia especializada de todo o globo, ao menos dentre os jogos que eu comparei, Ocarina of Time segue sendo o jogo mais bem-avaliado de todos os tempos.

I’m leaning toward them being placed by Ganon, but I’m less certain about the Bottom of the Well and Shadow Temple, since it’s been established that those were already places of evil.
