The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Bomb Bag pickup text. "You found bombs inside! Now you can set them to C and blow stuff up! What a lucky guy!"
  • For me, it's the bit in the Spirit Temple in Ocarina of Time when the miniboss battle with the huge Iron Knuckle is about to begin--a single chord of the miniboss battle music plays, at which point the Iron Knuckle realizes that it doesn't have its gigantic axe, so the music stops, the Iron Knuckle snaps its fingers to summon the axe, and then the battle theme starts over and the sequence properly begins. It's just so out-of-character for the game that it slays me every time. It's like something out of Looney Tunes. See it here (starting at approximately 0:46).
  • Darunia gettin' down tonight when you play Saria's Song, complete with psychedelic background!

Darunia: What a hot beat!

    • If you look during that sequence you can see Link back away very slowly in response.
  • The ending of the Dodongo's Cavern in Ocarina of Time. Darunia decides that he and Link are now Sworn Brothers, and gives him a hearty pat on the shoulder... which knocks Link to the ground. After Link recovers, he decides to celebrate his and Link's new brotherhood by giving him two gifts. The first is the necessary Plot Coupon, the Goron's Ruby. The second? A Goron Group Bear Hug. Cue Link running off screaming.
  • Link's reaction to seeing Ruto after seven years. His facial expression is priceless.

Ruto: It's me, your fiancee, Ruto! Princess of the Zoras!
Link (and player): O_O.

  • I had a friend over at my house, and when we defeated Phantom Ganon, Ganondorf's last bit of the text gave us a good chuckle.

Ganondorf: What a worthless creation that ghost was! I will banish it to the gap between dimensions!!

  • Poor Link really doesn't want to be on the receiving end of Goron hugs.
  • King Zora moving over. Ouweep. Ouweep. Ouweep.
  • Koume and Kotake arguing after they've been defeated.

Koume: I'm only 400 years old!
Kotake: And I'm only 380!
Koume: We're twins! Don't try to lie about your age!

    • While that particular part takes the cake, the rest of their argument is pretty funny as well, especially considering the fact that they seem to be more concerned with bickering with each other rather than they fact that they're dying.
  • Ingo's groveling when you come back to the ranch after defeating him.
  • You got the Megaton Hammer! Use it to smash and break junk!
  • Some of the animations in the Dance Party Ending might get a chuckle out of you.
    • One of them is a dancing Redead.
    • The Gerudos dancing like Rockettes are notable, too.
  • Link's reaction to first seeing Twinrova, followed by Twinrova winking at him.
  • Sheik getting tossed around like a rag in the scene where Kakariko is on fire. It's otherwise a very serious part of the game, but that animation just looks ridiculous.
  • Most would consider this Nightmare Fuel, but seeing live cows inside a giant fish, some of them stuck in the "walls" and still mooing, make the MQ version of Lord Jabu Jabu's Belly one of the funnier ones.
  • Ruto gets a little too close to Link following the defeat of the jellyfish in Lord Jabu Jabu's belly and causes Link to freak out and move away so that he accidentally falls into the water.
  • The freaked out reaction from the head of the Skulltula House when you show him the Mask of Truth.
  • The Carpenters in Kakariko Village look pretty tough, but when they walk, talk, or do anything else, it's pretty clear that they're not just Ambiguously Gay. The whole time I was there, I expected them to start singing "It's fun to stay at the Y M C A!"
