Features you missed (multiple times) in old games

I have nothing to contribute to this thread, but that's actually really cool.

>>378919873
Right? It just feels so out of place with the music stopping and the repeating dialogue going on for quite a while, can't believe I missed it.

>>378919432
>the toads that you can play your ocarina to
>the biggoron sword quest
>the extra masks for completing the mask quest

I swear you discover something new in ocarina of time every time you play it.

And even when using walk-through's to get a 100%, things still fall through the cracks.

Woah that's cool!

The first time I beat The Wind Waker I completely missed the dark portal that /v/ is always posting a webm about. I was surprised to discover that bit o' lore when you go through it. I also missed the Double Magic Meter and Hero's Charm, even though I thought I had done a thorough sweep of the entire game. To this day I don't even know how I missed the charm, and I hate that they just give it to you like that in TWWHD for doing something you had to to in the original.

Custom Robo has a few events that only happen if you say no enough, but my favorite was insisting Mira take the watch your Dad told you to never take off and then having to backtrack by yourself all the way to go retrieve it like right before the final battle

I miss Custom Robo a lot

That's awesome. I remember there being an anti-cheating mechanism, but didn't actually test it out.

I didn't find out till last year there is a 1-Up inside the tower in Whomp's Fortress.

Huh? You don't have to do that in the original.

In the GC version, the first half of the Savage Labyrinth gives you a Triforce Chart and the second half gives you a piece of heart. In the Wii U version, the first half gives you a Triforce Shard and the second half gives you the Hero's Charm. They probably made the change since going through all that stuff for one piece of heart felt like a really standard reward for a disproportionate amount of work.

>>378922142

I beat ALTTP like 5 times growing up and never knew you could double your magic meter.

>>378921885
I have no clue how I found this shit as a kid. The texture over the breakable part is almost seamless.

>>378922636
Apparently if you bring a fish in ALTTP to the bottle salesman he'll pay you for it. I've never tried it myself, though.

Man I miss those days before the internet was something you had in your home. I didn't find out about the SPECIAL World in SMW until a year after I bought the game. Today it'd be on fucking youtube on release day with some obnoxious reaction image

ALttP has a lot of secrets.

The lantern will appear in Zelda's cell if you skip it, and then in Thieve's Town replacing a chest with 300 rupees.

You can skip the Moon's Tear at least temporarily. Doing this is the only way to play as Bunny Link outside of Death Mountain.

If you connect an X-Band Modem to the Super Nintendo while ALttP is on, you will unlock a secret online game you used to be able to play with others when the servers were up.

There's an invisible Ku monster in the swamp that nobody knew what it was for a long time which dies when you use Bombos before the dungeon there.

And strangest of all, in both the SNES and GBA versions of ALttP, near the Flute Boy's grove if you stand next to the counterpart tree in Light World that spits a bomb at you in Dark World, play Ether and dash into the tree, the head of Blind in his disguised maiden form will fall out and blow up. No-one knows why.

>>378924256
You know, the other magic upgrade you get from using magic powder on an altar.

>>378924661
You're confused. That is the double magic meter upgrade. There is no other.

I loved finding animal crossings weird secrets as a kid. Never knew about the ghost until years later

In Vice City, if you press either left or right and the jump button right before a speeding car is about to hit you, you can do the same dive animation the NPC's do when you're trying to run them over. Discovered this during when I was going on a personal rampage and tried to jump out the way of a cop car that was about to mow me down

A small fun secret with a nice build up from village rumors, it was a nice touch. Catching ghosts at actual late hours of the night was great.

>>378925319
What? Wow, I really want to try this.

Apparently Shadow in the Sonic games was made as a sort of guinea pig to come up with a cure for Maria who was apparently terminal, but I'd never picked up on any of that.

>>378919432
Not really a feature but a glitch I found as a kid that no one really seemed to know about. It is in FF8 when the you are driving the car to Balamb for the Dollet mission. When you enter the town and the car starts auto driving holding down the left analog stick(and I think left d pad button) will cause the car to go sliding through the next area sideways.

It is a small stupid thing but it gave me a chuckle as a kid.

From what I've read online it was some kind of minesweeper-esque game though, not Zelda.

>>378928420
I mean the online game you unlocked had nothing to do with Zelda itself.

In Phantom Hourglass there's a part where Linebeck gets trapped by some spikes and you have to raise them to move on. If you use a moonjump cheat to get over to him he says "How did you get this far, anyway?" There's literally no reason for him to have any special dialogue for it

>>378919432

In Donkey Kong 64, I never knew you could hold the Z-button while zoomed in with the gun and it will slow down the sensitivity dramatically to help you line up shots...which would have really come in handy considering how much precision shooting that game makes you do.

If you want some top strats just watch speedruns, thanks to this i no longer get my shit slapped hundreds of times in the water room, the part where you pick up a chalice and get to fight two waves of 3 armor knights rsch and with krauser.

Wearing the Captain's Mask against King Ikana will make him think he's you until he says you're too small.

You can heal broken signs with the Song of Healing.

You can use Song of Storms to instantly finish up beans.

The guards at Pirate's Fortress have worse vision at night.

You can kill Sakon, but ruin Anju and Kafei's sidequest.

You can find the swordsman, alone, scared, not wanting to die.

Wearing Kafei's mask near Anju's mother will piss her off.

On the final day, if you never talk to the guards before, you get asked if the carnival is cancelled and if there's an evacuation order.

You can talk to dogs while wearing the Mask of Truth.

The woman at the treasure chest thing will say you're pretty if wearing the Great Fairy Mask, say you're good at deliveries if you wear the Postman's Hat, and will say you have collected a lot of hats if you wear the All-Night Mask.

The portal you open by doing the boomerang puzzle in Ganon's Tower. When you go through it the KoRL says something like "So this is how Ganon managed to escape reach the Great Sea."

>>378932734
In Ganon's Tower, in the area just before you fight Phantom Ganon multiple times to find the Light Arrows.
In the room opposite of where you're supposed jump down to start the fights, there's a puzzle involving some candles and the boomerang. It opens a portal back up to the surface, acting as a shortcut in case you have unfinished business.
