- Everyone in the world seems to love "Ocarina of Time", but is it possible for an argument about video games to go too far?
Get Brentalfloss t-shirts and merch HERE:
Get the song from this video wherever digital music is sold/streamed!
Also, I MADE A PARTY GAME FOR CONSOLES! It’s called "Use Your Words," it’s now available for all current consoles/Steam/the Wii U, and it’s fun! More info at useyourwords.lol
You can out Dave's channel: / demontomatodave
You can read the lyrics here: brentalfloss.com/ootlyrics
This was simply beautiful. The harmonies. Just.... * cries tears of happiness *
Woah... I found Tyler's comment in a Brentalfloss video. (Talk about mind flip) But seriously, this video was beautiful.
#relatable
WAIT, TYLER! the map looks like a balloon!
Hello Kristoff from frozen.
Hi Tucans!
Love how he was leaving to beat someone’s ass and decided “I should probably bring my link drawing from when I was 6...”
Yeah, the T-shirts were better.
Could have been to prove a point but idk
(It's a Surprise Tool That Will Help Us Later!)
Save Martha!
A symbol of his love for the zelda series that he brought with him to reasure himself that hes right be critising this game, thats why when he sees that he also has a picture of link he remembers the child he was when he first played it and they both bonded
This is the kind of song you suddenly remember every few years and can still recite it by heart
As someone who just had this experience, IT’S A CRAZY FEELING!!
Exactly!!!
this is so real
As someone who's come back to listen to this song after four years, I can say that yes it's stuck in my head.
My childhood 💚
I love how at the end you can hear dave going "Ocarin-er" and Brent going "Ocarin-ah" because of the different nationalities.
this also happens in the mario land one dave says m(eh)rio and brent says m(ah)rio
The Bohemian Rhapsody of Video Game parodies.
John Stewart this is what they should've been playing in Wayne's World ;)
How?
Ironically they have made a Bohemian Rhapsody parody of video games
Why is this comment the the truest thing I’ve ever heard in my life
Is this the real life...
Why is Dave's line 'stop before you say something you might regret' so good. He did that line so well...
Because either way the song is the best, even without the lyrics.
Oh shit! I just saw you in Smooth McGroove's comment section, and you made me want to watch some brentalfloss! :O
Ævdun ;o
it just has so much power behind it
And "not one for reading"
#SmugDave
Friend: "do you listen to any good music?"
Me: "you could say that yes."
Cleaaaaan, black and greeeen. Hold it in your hands this mario land.
@@percyproductions8990 In 1989, this came down the pipeline...
Kirrim Kerman Yeah Mario’s back! Out to save that Crazy princess Daisy!
Alan Smithee We creepy sprite, without Princess Peachy or Luigi...
@@mr._hollywood The quality dropped off like some kind of mario knock-off
Me and my best friend in school would always sing this song on trips. I remember he’d be Brent, I’d be Dave and we had to censor the swears or at least whisper them and at points, I’d do the acapella bits. Our walking back from McDonald’s on Friday became a whole frickin musical.
This song gives me my best memories and they’re not even about Zelda.
This is so charming
Message him out of the blue with no explanation and just start texting him your part of the song and wait for him to join in
You should message the fella, see how he's doing
@@Sairin13 The problem is that his friend was Brent's part, and Brent starts the song.
@@superplushroompower-up I'd still do it
In case anyone was wondering...
0:02-0:40 Zelda's Lullaby
0:50-2:57 Hyrule Field
2:58-3:48 Shop
3:49-4:18 Lost Woods
4:36-6:31 Gerudo Valley
6:32-6:49 Original Zelda Overworld Theme
6:50-7:54 Great Fairy's Fountain
7:54-8:38 Hyrule Field again
8:39-9:00 Kakariko Village
9:01-9:10 Hyrule Field yet again
Actually, 6:32-6:49 is still Gerudo Valley.
Really? I couldn't place it. It seemed like they cut out some big pieces of the Gerudo Valley melody and also used a slowed down version of it so their confrontation setup/lyrics would work, by the end I couldn't recognize it as that at all.
Still a great sequence tho.
Towards the end was The Confrontation from Les Mis
dude.... thank you.... i was...
The moral of the story? It's okay to have your own opinions on something. If someone doesn't like a thing that you do, don't be a dick about it and vice versa. Truly this is something that the internet needs to learn.
Ohai drake, when's the next crossover coming? (And say congrats to the editor for me :))
That is very true, mate. Well spoke!
I guess Brent has a pretty UNPOPULAR OPINION huh Drake?
more like something mankind needs to learn over all
Being a dick about things is seen as normal now sadly, if people started thinking more and actually tried to be empathetic then we would what might be a better world.
Jesus, these were good times. That BrentalFloss nostalgia hit harder than I thought it would
yes
yes
True
That painful twinge of good times past hurts with each coming year. :,)
IKR
One of the best medleys I’ve heard ever. 10/10 I can’t imagine the time put into this.
@Loogi 12 Yep, still 10/10
I agree dam this is good
Yes I totally agree I listened to this every month since it was released and it is definitely a 10/10
The Bohemian Rhapsody of video game parodies
i have been listening to this song for like years now and it still holds up
The amount of times I've watched this is remarkable.
IKR
i know right it's so catchy
lol its soo good
Just watched again for the ~900th time after checking out Dave's "behind the scenes" part 4. The harmonies still give me goosebumps and put a smile on my face.
Can anyone tell me all the songs arranged in the video? I know Zelda's Lullaby, Hyrule Field, Shop, Saria's Song and Gerudo Valley are in it.
This video has a great message. Why should people argue so much about the best Zelda Game? I mean, we all know it's _Wand of Gamelon,_ so why still fight?
Hey man don't forget Link: The Faces of Evil! Instant classic!
Fyunknmuffin Gorath Memories...
My Boy !
***** Clearly the CDI versions of the LoZ series are the best.
***** Your comment made me google Wand of Gamelon because I'd never heard of it before.
Fuck you.
I was chatting with a friend about "antagonistic duets", and they linked me this, and I am SO glad they did, I love it.
hehe, they _Linked_ you this
@@Burning_DK ...damn I didn't even NOTICE that! Heh, yeah.
@@Burning_DK bruh☠️
that is the coolest way ive ever heard to describe this style of duet
@@maximuslondonkolb I'll pass that on to my friend.
IF THERE'S ONE THING I HATE, IT'S CHANGE!
I love how self-aware Brent is in this video.
@@LandaPanda8 It's self aware as in the fact that people that take his arguments normally just hate on the game because it's a new and different style of Zelda.
At the same time, Brent- the "hater" of the conflict- is the first to decide to drop things and unite as fans.
@@DinsRune he’s also the first one to throw one last insult before the final verse, lol
@@dizzyx7 in fairness, that's an American thing
I LOVE the way Dave says "no no no no let me stop you there." And I don't know why
i do too lol
He somehow has such great articulation on each "No". It's beautiful.
+Flandre Scarlet yea
audio aesthetic
The best part is when Brent says "it's dangerous to go alone, take this!" With da finger
Didn't know Mr. Clean was such a good singer.
This made my fucking day.
OMG XD Thank you for bringing happiness to my life xD
You just made my life 40 times better
Brentalfloss actually played Mr Clean in a Jontron video.
Cori Cool, Do you have a link?
I haven't listened to this since it came out in 2014 and I still sometimes burst out singing with near perfect memory of the whole thing. Truly a cultural touchstone of the mid-2010s internet if there ever was one.
Revisiting this song after I’ve been thinking about it for days and forgetting to watch. I can’t believe this isn’t more popular. This is my absolute favorite thing Brent has made, and most of the time I absolutely love anything Brent does with Dave. This was beautifully written and composed and I can see all of the work that went into this. All of the editing, training, writing, blocking, everything is so beautifully done. It breaks my heart that he hasn’t posted something (or given an update if he is) like this since this song. I wish there were more people like Brent here online.
Atleast im not the only one that suddenly wants to listen to brentafloss out of nowhere
It has 3 million views lmao
@@kiToro945 so? His most popular vid on the channel is baby mario and papa yoshi, which has 31 MILLION views, and compared to other vids on his channrl and on yt in general, this vids view count is dwarfed
THIS IS OUR NOSTALGIA NOW
@@ckorp666 (To all kids in chat) YOU JUST WEREN'T THE PROPER AGE!
I love how this "Argument" song became a moral story about tolerating each other's opinions.
Exactly, which more people need to note.
love him or hate him, respect him cuz he took “Fite me IRL bruh” literally
World : "you can't review a game in a song"
Brentalfloss : *laughs*
In*
@@zack_gold oh yeah thank you
@@ohgames9736 ಠ‿ಠ
You mean laughs in brentalfloss?
Since when then did literally anyone say that
8 years later this song still slaps
Usually time doesn't make a song not good
oh Brent and Dave, you guys used logic and the internet will have none of that. GREAT job btw :)
I agree, the textures just suck for me, not my favorite game, even with the 3DS version, my favorite is actually Skyward Sword.
Daniel Bryan Thanks.
Haha. It's trickling through, enough people are getting it to put a smile on my face. Thanks :D
Oliver Johnson My favourite is Link to the Past. Second favourite was Twilight Princess. Third was Wind Waker. Wasn't that much of a fan of Skyward Sword though, at least I had the gold remote from it :D
TheSebto360 Lucky son of a biscuit eating bulldog (No offense, it's just used for a joke)
As someone in the "Ocarina is overrated but still a good game" camp, this was good to see. I do wish Brent would've actually finished the game before having this kind of argument, though.
Think of this video as a parable rather than a thing that actually happened :)
First, ERMAGURD, BRENTALFLOSS REPLIED TO ONE OF MY COMMENTS! Second, okay, that's a fair.
'98, and fuck you too.
DeckardPAIN But spongehead's point is actually valid and true? People act like Ocarina was the be-all-end-all of Zelda games and nothing would ever surpass it. It's a damn good Zelda game, but it's not like it's as orgasmicly great as so many people make it seem. People just have their 3 pairs of nostalgia goggles strapped on too tightly.
Exactly. As someone who came back to Ocarina about ten years after it's release, I will say that it is a thoroughly enjoyable game without nostalgia, just not best game ever material.
This video is so nostalgic now...
Even though you weren't the proper age.
I mean, Nintendo Power did score it high, its pace was taut yet fun
It was a story that grips without pre-rendered clips
@@erickterk9296 ha
N o w it’s nostalgic
The part where they sing different verses at the same time and harmonize at "THIS ENDS NOW!" always gives me chills.
This is honestly the most badass duet I've ever heard anyone sing...ever!
Rachael brown I agree lol xD
Agreed
Probably the most well written song you've made, Brentalfloss. Absolutely fantastic
xtremetoxicguy Dave wrote a bunch of it
Hylian Alph Gaming they collaborated
The collaborations with Dave are always the best. Super Mario Land is my other favorite. They make such a great duo.
5+ years later this is still the coolest video game music parody I’ve ever heard, the Backing track and vocals add so much to it
Nearly 5 years later, and I still marvel at the antics these two could produce. Dave, Brent, you pair of hams. Thank you for this.
Honestly this video is one of the best videos on CZcams. Conveying two different sides of the argument and the issues with each. Brent and Dave both have good points, but they're burried by blander issues that don't take a presence. Dave doesn't listen as he's wearing his rose-tinted nostalgia glasses, yet Brent is trying to compare two games in two completely different genres, Super Mario 64 and OOT, which eventually delves into a standard CZcams comment arguement, as Dave has a hard time explaining why he likes the game so much, saying the experience of it, and Brent hates the change, of his own nostalgia.
Brilliant video.
actually he compared a topic that can be shared with all games despite genre now if he had said 64 was a better game over all then yeah but he said that 64 handled graphics better which is true
I'm pretty sure that them not really giving good points is part of the point, they were trying to exaggerate how most arguments on the internet are like.
UltraLuigi well yeah but my point was graphics go beyond genres
If you hack the camera in Oot you'll see that the 3d space is just a giant green room with the characters running around. The graphics you see in game are imposed onto the room.
czcams.com/video/HUgE9L7V4oY/video.html
If I may nitpick, it was from 3:11-3:22. His entire point went on for 11 seconds, and even, then, it's still a blander issue without substance.
Lemme get this straight. Brent went to Dave’s house just for the sake of this video?
They were going to a con together so Brent proposed to Dave that it would be very over the top and perfect to visit Dave's apartment since they would both be in England anyways. Dave made quite an extensive (yet incomplete) behind the scenes of the production of the backing track and some snippits of their conversations.
Niels Schellekens Ahhh I gotcha
yep
They were probably already planning on seeing eachother. That is my guess.
unless brent knows some sort of black magic editing he's not telling us
I haven't seen anyone else do this so I thought I would. Here's all the songs they Recreated.

I bought an N64 recently, and my dad gave me a copy of Ocarina of Time he found while cleaning...this song was playing through my head for hours after!!
4:24 Imagine if he went all that way, shouted "Asshole" and left.
+Hario337personalaccount Hahahahaha, You're Winner!
I would have died
Finally, people actually like my jokes!
Lol I would have laughed my butt off.
that would be PURE devotion
i keep coming back to this...because the vocal harmonies are on point, and the whole "confrontation" was just...perfect!
same
The dueling argument at the end is absolutely operatic, I fucking love it.
Yall marked my childhood forever with this song. I love you. My little brother and I know it almost by heart, and we sing it in the car still to this day. I sing Dave's, and my brother sings Brent's. We're different, but we get along, whatever we think. And I want to thank you guys, if you ever read this, and let you know your nostalgia is shared. I don't know you, but your music and lyrics truly trancend that
That was AWESOME!!! You guys are such a killer team!
^^
Holy crap, Trudbol! I never thought you'd show up on a Brentalfloss video.
***** LOL I've been a Brentalfloss fan for years and comment regularly. :)
***** You should do some more collaborations!
I already asked Pentatonix, but I think that I have a very bad chance of asking them.
However, maybe you should inquire with Brent, he has a business email (I think) :)
Wild Feraligatr happy new year my friend ^^
Jeez, I remember when this first came out. Back then I thought it was the best thing ever. Honestly I expected to be disappointed coming back, but this has actually held up really well.
i sing it a little bit jejeje xd
Half a decade later and still the best video game parody song out there.
I started watching this today, and i thought my younger self was a little dingus for liking it, then the climax happened and i got more hyped than i like to admit
Early Internet (although this isn't really early, this was 2015) really internet culture before the Vine and Influencer invasion is very strange to go back to now... but being nostalgic for it is never a bad thing
I just found this a couple of weeks ago, and I gotta admit, I don't think I've gone a day without watching it since. Just so well done -- the lyrical banter between you and Dave is top notch, I've never seen an argument set so well to music, especially provided that the background a capella is so crisp and clean, and makes your voices pop out gorgeously! The blue notes are tactically positioned and the transitions between songs are seamless.
Probably my favorite work on your channel Brent, cheers to you and Dave both. This and Mario Land are my favorites, I hope to keep on hearing such awesome duets from you two in the future.
+Atma505 Oh you know that comment about the blue notes put a smile right on my face. Tactical positioning is a great way of putting it, it was like "Here... NO! Heerrree." and then evil cackling for several minutes.
+Atma505 the lyrical banter is a direct reference to _The Confrontation_ from the musical _Les Miserables_. Check it out if you have the time.
Tom de Kler I had no clue! I'm super overdue on watching that -- will do, thank you.
I have the same favorites!
+Tom de Kler Oh my god, you're right! Dave even desperately grabs for something to defend himself with the way Valjean grabs a piece of wood to defend himself from Javert's sword!
Please don't tell me that I am the only one who has this song memorized word for word.
I'm not very far off lol
The REAL trick is finding someone else to sing with who knows it just as well. It kinda demands a duet, especially at the end. XD
WilliamSteelheart I've memorized Brent's side. Now I need to find someone who's memorized Daves side
I memorized it!
Nathan Hill i
I Memorize it
No matter how many times I listen to this song, it remains an inspiration. I get chills at the end.
"You're Wrooooooong"
"So even though"
"so whaaaaat"
"you're wrong I know"
"we'll get aloooong"
"we'll still be friends"
"Whatever you think about ooooocarina of time!"
A message everyone needs to hear and counterpoint that still nearly makes my heart stop.
i wouldnt mind if brentalfloss broke into my house to sing angirly at me about games
Listening to this again after 3 years and it still gives me goose bumps
Can I give this a second thumb up?
this is something i'd make a bot profile to like twice
same dudeeeeeeeee
8BitGentleman i dont know
Four years later
Wait... 3 years? Soon 4... How? It feels like it was just earlier this year...
"You're the missing Link to the past!" OHHH SHEEEITTT
This is literally the song I sing when I need to pass 8 minutes, it is always secretly on replay in my head
I forgot how long this song was lmao
I get the dum dum dumdumdumdum daaaaaa stuck in my head and start singing it out loud
Back when I was a dishwasher at a dining hall for a university, I would sing this all the time, because I loved it so much, and it would pass the time.
BRENT: I’M SO BORED, TIME TO… SHEATH THE SWORD
WHY IS THIS GAME SO DAMN ADORED?

THEY WON’T KNOW YOU’RE OTHERWISE A DECENT BLOKE
BRENT: OH NO! OCARINA MINIONS!
LOOK DAVE, THIS IS MY OPINION
DAVE: AFTER TWELVE HOURS? YOUR OPINION IS CONJECTURE.
BRENT: DO I SENSE A RAMBLING LECTURE?
DAVE: YES!
HYRULE WAS GRANDER IN OUR MINDS
THAN A FLAT 2D PLAIN, WE LONGED FOR A GAME TO EXPAND THAT OLD LAND THAT WE LOVED! SECRETS AND TREASURES WE COULD FIND IN THE CORNERS AND CAVES
THAT WE COULDN’T SEE BACK WHEN WE SQUINTED DOWN FROM ABOVE
RUN ROUND WILD AND FREE! DIVE INTO THE SEA!
CLIMB A TREE AND GENERALLY EXPLORE THE FLIPPING COUNTRY!
BRENT: YEAH, MAYBE IF I WERE SIX
DAVE: NO NO NO NO, LEMME STOP YOU THERE:
MAYBE DON’T BE A PRICK.
BRENT: WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA, LEMME CLEAR THE AIR:
LET’S BE CALM & ADULT: I’M JUST NOT IN THE CULT.
DAVE: PLAY THROUGH THE NIGHT, YOU’LL SEE THE LIGHT!
IT’S WONDERFUL, SO BEAUTIFUL!
BRENT: IT BLEW YOUR LITTLE SOCKS OFF.
I GET THAT BUT, YOU MIGHT SEE MY VIEWPOINT IF I COULD REBUT--
DAVE: WHY DON’T YOU FEEL THE LOVE THAT THIS GAME INSPIRES IN THOUSANDS OF LIVES ROUND THE WORLD?
BRENT: HERE’S WHAT I’M GETTING AT: THE CRAPPY TEXTURES MAKE IT ALL LOOK SO GROSS AND FLAT! AND WHY DO THOSE TWO GUYS RUN AROUND LIKE THAT?
AND ALSO THERE’S THIS OWL WHO WILL NOT SHUT UP!
DAVE: NOT ONE FOR READING, THEN?
BRENT: THIS MAKES MY EYEBALLS SORE

YOU WANNA DANCE? WELL SO DO I.
NOW HERE’S YOUR CHANCE TO TELL ME WHY YOU LOVE THIS GAME.
DAVE: WELL, WHERE TO START? AND WHAT’S THE GOAL?
IT’S GAMES AS ART THAT TOUCH THE SOUL
YOU HAVE NO HEART, SO HOW CAN YOU SPEAK OF LOVE?
BRENT: THAT’S BULLCRAP AND YOU KNOW IT!
GRAPHICALLY, OCARINA WAS A TRAGEDY
DO THE TEXTURES CAUSE DEPRESSIVE PERSONALITY?
‘CAUSE THEY’RE LITERALLY SAD TO SEE.
THEY TOOK THAT GAME I LOVED SO MUCH
THEY TWISTED IT INTO A BEAST
AND MADE IT LOOK ALL NEW AND STRANGE, IF THERE’S ONE THING I HATE, IT’S CHANGE!
THIS OVERRATED CHORE WITH ALL ITS FANBOY DRONES
WHAT’S WORSE, IT SPAWNED A MILLION LAME ADVENTURE CLONES. THIS IS YOUR NOSTALGIA NOW
IF YOU SHOW IT TO A CHILD TODAY, THEY’LL ASK YOU FOR LINK TO THE PAST, IT’S MUCH MORE FUN TO PLAY!
DAVE: WE NEEDED THIS WHEN 3D HADN’T FOUND ITS WAY
SO GAMERS COULD SAY “THIS IS HOW THE FUTURE OF GAMES COULD BE!” TO LIVE INSIDE THAT WORLD
AND EXPLORE THE LAND, SWORD IN HAND, BE THE HERO,
THAT’S WHAT WE’D ALL DREAMED OF
THIS IS JUST NOSTALGIA NOW!
YOU JUST WEREN’T THE PROPER AGE!
NINTENDO POWER SCORED IT HIGH,
ITS PACE WAS TAUT, YET FUN!
A STORY THAT GRIPS, WITHOUT
RELYING ON SOME PRE-RENDERED CLIPS,
IT’S A METHOD THAT WENT ON TO ECLIPSE
ALL OTHERS TO THIS DAY
BRENT: IF YOU WON’T DISAVOW...
DAVE: LISTEN TO YOUR HEART!
BRENT: THIS, YOUR SACREDEST COW
DAVE: IF YOU STILL KNOW HOW, EITHER WAY….
BRENT: I DON’T CARE, ‘CAUSE...
BOTH: THIS ENDS NOW!

BOTH: STOP BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING YOU MIGHT REGRET! WHY’RE WE ALWAYS FIGHTING ON THE INTERNET?
FANDOM STARTS WITH LOVE, THERE’S NO NEED TO SHOVE
DAVE: SURELY WE CAN
BRENT: DISAGREE AND
DAVE: STILL BOTH BE FANS OF STUFF!
BOTH: WE’RE HERE FOR FUN AND GAMES! LET FRIENDSHIP QUENCH THOSE FLAMEWARS
DAVE: YOU’RE WRONG, SO WHAT? WE GET ALONG, WHATEVER YOU THINK ABOUT
BRENT: AND EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE WRONG I KNOW WE’LL STILL BE FRIENDS, WHATEVER YOU THINK ABOUT
BOTH: OCARINA OF TIME! OCARINA OF TIME!
BRENT: SUCKS. DAVE: WAS GREAT!
Thank you for writing this comment. This should be at the top.
Tiggster2005 He practically copy pasted it from the website
Stop fucking shouting at me.
Too bad they didn’t
@Eynx yeah this is big brain time
Definitely the best "With Lyrics" video.
Dear gosh! Well done to Brent and Dave! Loved the arrangement, lyrics, video style and message! Well done again! ^_^
Ohai mc, how goes the minecraft?
So sir, do you hate OOT?... *pitchfork at the ready*
BagFaceMan Not as good as the Zelda! ^_^
Tristan Phillips No way, I love all Zelda games. :D
Hey, thanks man! (Dave here!) You're one of the Minecrack guys, right? My fiancee's an illustrator and she always has those videos playing while she draws :)
Don’t mind me. Just doing my daily watching of this video
Daily? I listen to it 10 times a day.
Still going?
@@apocalypticblox2346 Yup. Haven’t stopped yet
@@GiovanniDimike awesome.
Those harmonies are so beautiful. Especially near the end.

So Nintendo rated their own game 10/10 in their own magazine. I'm shocked
SPM was probably my favorite Wii game.
but I find it funny that anyone could take a magazine like that seriously when a company is rating there own games. its like saying that McDonald's is the best fast food because the CEO said so
It wasn't their own magazine? This game is to this very day - the best rated game across all portals and magazines.
Pablo1517 Whatever. I didn't like it
Well, the rating didn't lie. ; -)
Hands down Brent’s best video, who still watching in 2019?
Ethan Trujillo you know it
Aw yeah.
Me bro, me.
Ethan Trujillo nah 2020
SHUT UP, NOONE CARES!
I still love this video today, not only did it end with a great message for the period but there's a shocking amount of emotion and harmony in that last verse, it's really nice to listen to
Seven years and I still love this song. Tks guys for this.
Now that I think about it... If this is the what if Zelda: Ocarina of time with lyrics... That means this game both ripped and praised itself, WOW! this game really does have everything!!
+shadow759 i agree with you man Brentalfloss Does Great lyrics but you should do More Lyrics
The worst thing is, I sing this, but act as if i'm having an argument with myself... I can't be the only one, right?
Every. Single. Day.
+kimzee59 I do the same thing
OMG SAME
So true.
Same!
Same but with mario sunshine because I always loved it but there are so many bad points about it.
“And why should you like anything that happened after you turned 9?”
FATALITY
"But Brent, flying heads!!!" Oh wait wrong video
That displays a great imagination
The gameplay-
Was lame.
HEY!
Oh thanks dad!
But how my heart skips for 8 bits on holiday car trips

I'm not even really into zelda but i allways come back here just the singing and message in the song is just ahhh so perfect
Wow, a video dissing on OoT and only 474 dislikes?
Is this an episode of the Twilight Zone or something?
You seem to be a couple of years behind. Insulting OoT and praising WW and MM into high heavens has become the cool thing to do.
***** Yeah, but I'm not one of these sheeple. I know what I like.
***** I've always prefered MM, and WW is overrated AF, and I playe the Hell out of WW

i dunno, i've always preferred WW, and thought MM was overrated AF, even though I played the hell out of MM
+7TheAlmightySeven7 WW? Overrated? Dude, do you know how much peoples dissed WW when it first announce? It's unbelievable. People hate it so much just because of the cel shaded design, and you dare say that it's now overrated? For me it deserve what popularity it got for the hate it receive in the past and WW is no way anything overrated or the like of it. Sorry, I has to disagree with you.
oh god, its 2019 and its still good to watch
Dude your 2019 brent-revival was just 17 hours earlier than mine. I totally agree, this is just the most golden gold of video game parodies!
Oh god its 2020 and its still good to watch
Sunquad I’m addicted
Oh god its 2024 and its still good to watch
The "It's pace was taut yet fun" never fails to make me laugh. Best line
It’s a reference to The Confrontation from les miserables! Valjean and Javert are arguing just like this segment and one of Valjean’s lines is “my race is not yet run”… I just caught that today and I’m so excited lol
Sorry Brent, but this video isn't as popular as you think it is. A good 300,000 of these views are mine because I listen to it so much :) Easily one of your best. Well done!
Haha, well thanks for keeping us afloat! :)

No I watched this like 9000 times
I discovered it last year
The German tweet at the beginning translates to: "Earlier, someone said, 'You are worse than Hitler.' Believe me, he is right."
Damn. Talk about hatred.
Wow salty
You forgot the moral of the story is 8:13
@@sageoffire3964 no seriously Brental just wants to watch the world burn
@@yocarter9221 1. I like your name
2. You're talking to the Nintendo fan who used to hate Nintendo with a burning passion.
3. You're talking to the Zelda fan who has LttP in top 3 least favorite Zelda games, so is Brent really the one who watches the world burn?
Coming back 8 years later to ask… did you guys take inspiration from “The Confrontation” scene from Les Misérables? Because your dueling verses is so comparable. Love the tension all surrounding one great game. Hope you guys are doing well all this time later!
I can't believe this song's turning 10 this year, my childhood lol.
I like how you guys portrayed both idiotic sides of the argument. You have the rabid fanboys who don't actually explain why they like it saying: "Just play it! It's magical!", and then you have the people who can't cope with change and hate it for superficial reasons.
Twenty points to Gryffindor!
Thank you. Now tell this to everyone who actually thinks the lyrics are meant to be taken seriously.
People actually took this seriously? Wow, I shouldn't be surprised since this IS the internet after all, but really? Sometimes I feel like people need a license to use the Internet..
*should need. Sorry.
They also both say "this is your nostalgia now" referring to how the 2 types of fans only judge the games with nostalgia only.
Edit: The following is no longer true! The mp3 is back!
--------
Heads up guys, in a few minutes this song will be gone from Bandcamp temporarily - hopefully just for a couple of days. I'm just waiting for confirmation that their fix for the new EU VAT laws is legit. The song will be appearing on iTunes and Google and the like any day now.
Ok, It's down. It'll be back as soon as we have a more concrete explanation of what Bandcamp are doing about the VATMOSS stuff, which should be very soon. Meantime, if anyone paid for the song but can't download it because of this, hit me up on my channel and I'll see what I can do. And I have up a list of who bought it, so you can't fool me! :)
thanks for the update dave.
That's great! I've wanted to get it for a while now
Crisis over, the song's back! :)
So when's the next video
6:05 is this whole section a reference to Les Miserables? 👀
I mean, it would be crazy if it was a coincidence that the whole structure of this section was the same, and Dave had the same melody as Jean Valjean for one line.
I love how sometimes their voices are louder than each others showing that when ur arguing u dont see the other persons point you just babble on about your own thinking it as the only correct view
I'm VERY surprised Brent didn't talk about the Water Temple ._.
Or the plothole of how the Deku Sprout somehow knows about Links past despite being less than a minute old.
Or how stupid and pointless the Goron part of the story was.
Or how when the game tries to be emotional but just comes off as bland.
Or how Link has the personality of a brick.
Or how fucking dumb it is that the game takes away your items when you get the Master Sword.
I could go on.
***** Maybe the items have an age restriction? XD (Just imagine seeing adult Link running through Hyrule Field throwing a boomerang at skeletons XD)
That's dumb though. The boomerang is a favorite item for many players, and the slingshot was a decent ranged attack until you got the bow. There's no reason to take items away like that.
12 hours in...
The Boomerang was super underutilized in OoT. It was a super useful item in the previous entries (ESPECIALLY Link's Awakening), but in Ocarina, they give it to you for one dungeon and then immediately make it useless. Easily the worst example of a "One Dungeon Item" in the series. At least the GameCube and DS Zeldas treated it better.
i'm not a big fan of ocarina of time i think that wind waker is better
Liked for Adachi
Sorry, it's hard for me to trust a man with that profile pic.
nobody is arguing with me? great only persona fans so i don't need to throw people in the TV
I agree.
I love Wind Waker immensely. It's my favorite Zelda, but I also enjoy OoT a lot. Both games have their merits.
God, this is such a nostalgia blast. The harmonies and acapellas are just so well done, and my favorite part even after all these years has to be 8:51, where y’all break into melody/counter-melody and it’s just UGH! So good!
This song is a masterpiece, honestly
Did you make the ending sound like the Confrontation from Les Mis on purpose? Because if so, kudos, it works really well!
If you haven't already, you should watch Dave's behind the scenes videos on all the melodies in the song. They're great fun. Indeed he put the Confrontation in there as well, though he only refers to it as "That's not from Zelda at all!"
It definitely is. Makes my theatre nerd heart happy.
Still watching this all the time over half a year later... and I have to mention, I can't get enough of Dave's perfect Colm Wilkinson yelps in the "Confrontation" section. They're so perfectly done.

I watched this a few times when I was 16 and to this day the lyrics still pop into my head every once in a while
Honestly I could hear this for 24 hours straight and still not get sick of it. Honestly one of my favorite songs of all time! You two were wonderful on this!
Hey Brent, are you planning on making anymore videos with Dave? You guys are so great together
The vocal work in this entire thing is incredible. Amazing arrangement guys. Amazing.
3:11 cant stop watching this part
still one of my favorite tunes of yours. Love when Dave and Brent do these.
Epic collab guys. Awesome arrangement/medley!
GOOSEBUMPS. This was so well done!
I like how you post on this video and all the attention is on Tyler.
I have a question for you why did you leave TheRunnawayGuys?
SuperSonicSpeed 9 He was never with them in the first place, he was just a guest most times.
JoshJepson I would love for you to rejoin TheRunawayGuys. You were one of the funniest. And then you had to go and make it go at an angle, which it's not supposed to do! So, please go back to the Guys.
He didn't leave, he was a guest.
Holy crap, even the acapella Gerudo Valley theme SLAPS.
Can't believe that this video is nearly seven years old.
Edit: Wait. Seven years?
Perhaps it wasn't a coincidence that I decided to come back here when I did.
I love the les mis reference to the end.
i watched les mis but i cant really see a reference...?
Trymphus it’s the confrontation right after fantine dies Dave is Valjean and Brent is Javert
Ohhh thanks
Indeed. It's not a direct reference, but the melody of that part is almost (if not exactly) the same as part of the song "Confrontation", and the line where Dave sings "This is just nostalgia now/You just weren't the proper age/Nintendo Power scored it high/its pace was taut, yet fun!" very closely mirrors Valjean's lines "I am warning you, Javert/I'm a stronger man by far/There is power in me yet/My race is not yet run!"
Omg I just noticed that. This is amazing

Wow. I was 10 years old when I first listened to this song as it came out, little did I know back then that this video along with your other musical videos would shape my future.
There are some things about this video that I didn't really notice when I first heard it. First off: The acapella is really good and very nice to listen to, I much prefer it over if there were actual instruments. Second of the writing of the lyrics is just genius! Especially with tying together the " Stop before you say something you might regret " near the end of the song. Yeah i'm aware that i'm writing this comment almost 7 years after the video came out but I feel like I just had to say that.
It will be this videos 7th anniversary 9 days after I write this comment.
why am i so nostalgic for this its from 2014 god i feel young
I loved this! :D
Just imagine the game being Majora's mask but the argument is the opposite sides.
Can we talk about how much effort Dave probably put in to make that Tweet at the beginning pause at 69 characters left?
The segment with Brent and Dave singing their own very different verses simultaneously over the same track is my single favorite piece of Brentalfloss musical wizardry. I can't get enough of it.
I know something similar was done in the Ballad of the Mages, and I wish he'd do more like these now that he's back in action. :D
