Favourite OST from the game?

I love Kakariko Village. When I played OoT again for the first time in like 10 years I teared up when I entered the village and heard the tune. Only a few months ago I was learning the melody on cello and I was going to play it with my best friend who was going to play the accompaniment on piano, but she died and we never got a chance to play it together.

What dungeon do you like the most?

I like the Shadow Temple best, even though I don't generally like horror! I remember the satisfied feeling as a kid finally finding out what was on that not quite reachable platform in the graveyard, and figuring out the well and the big bunch of torches. It also scared me silly (I was about 13 but didn't have much experience with scary stuff) and left such an impression that I remembered every single second of the dungeon when I replayed it on 3DS the year before last even though all other dungeons I had to figure out some things again.

And wich one do you hate the most? Why?

I didn't like beneath the well. It was so frustrating going round and round the same area and falling into things because I forgot they were there. It took me forever to figure it out back then.

What's your favorite moment in the game?

I loved it when I figured out what shooting the sun on the plaque meant in Lake Hylia. But the best moment was jumping out of the ranch on Epona as an adult. I remember salivating over the instruction manual on the car ride home after buying the game, looking at the picture of Link on Epona. Every time I finished a dungeon I wondered, "am I getting the horse now???" then disappointed every time. I started to think it was just a massive tease and I'd never get to actually ride her. As child Link I probably spent close to an.hour running around the ranch getting baby Epona to follow me. But then, finally that moment of leaping over the fence - that was really magical.

Do you think this game is underrated, overrated or rated normally?

Possibly slightly overrated, with nostalgia talking, but the praise was definitely genuine for the time it was released. There was nothing like it, it was a massive leap forward in gaming.

You would be surprised.

I never tried a speedrun, but I do remember reading guides on how to use glitches to do speedruns! I haven't ever tried to speedrun any game, that will be something new to try when I have some extra time
My favourite trick would be the one where you can use any item on Epona, but I never tried it.
Yes except for the skulltulas, I don't think I ever got all of those (at least not in any one play through).

You should totally try the infinite gold skultula glitch, anyone can do it, and it's super satisfying once you get 100

I will be honest, I did abuse this one. A lot.

Anyway, other question:

Have you watched TASes (Tools Assisted Speedruns) of this game? If yes, how entertaining are they?
