Quiz: How Well Do You Know Zelda: Ocarina Of Time?

I take umbrage with Question 3. Link doesn’t LEARN the Scarecrow’s Song. He creates it.

Best zelda game

Question #3 is wrong.
You DO NOT learn the Scarecrow Song, Bonooru and Pierre learn it from you.

You/Link only learn 12 songs

@Shepdawg1
Ha!
I didn't even read your comment until after I made mine!

6 outta 15...

Not really my best, but I would've fair better with Twilight Princess though...

Question #4 is NOT about Ocarina of Time.
Besides, the "official" timeline is crap!

10/15 not bad for last play through being 5 years ago.

12 out of 15. Not bad. Got the timeline, number of songs and the reoccurring enemy ones wrong. Two of those require your knowledge outside of OoT though so I'd argue those don't even really belong in this quiz, and the other has something that doesn't show up in your pause menu screen, so I call shenanigans.

12/15
Really 13/15

Wrong Goddess. Chose Nayru

Chose Lizalfoes, I don't remember them in Zelda1, Zelda2 or Link to the Past

11/15. Not bad, considering it's a game I don't really like that much, and have never played in full.

@Yosher
The Gold Skulltullas show up in the inventory screen

Quite happy with my 12/15, some questions were quite difficult given I haven't played the game in several years. I really enjoyed this quiz, please do more.

14/15. Try to beat my geekness!

10/15

thought I'd do better.

Ew ban me. I only got 7!

Best The Legend of Zelda game along with Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess.

@Spider-Kev I was talking about the scarecrow song. I never mentioned gold skulltulas.

@Spider-Kev @Shepdawg1 Also, only 10 songs are required.
Epona’s Song and the DTS song are optional.

@Spider-Kev Even without the official timeline, TWW and TP come clearly after OoT, and TMC is the origin story of the Four Swords villain.

@PtM
Yes, and?

@Spider-Kev The answer claims 12 songs were required.

@PtM
And what if we never played Minish or 4swords?
I played a little bit of Minish but it wasany years later on the 3DS with the ambassador program, but never finished it.

I had 4swords on the GameCube and had a GBA and link cable and the GB player but never had any friends who had a gba

9/15 is not bad having only played it once back in 1999.

@Spider-Kev I’m saying it’s not just the official timeline, it’s every (sensible) one, in the context of the question.

I only got 9. I need to replay OoT again.

Aw man I forgot about the Scarecrow’s Song and didn’t realize Lizalfos already had appeared. I guess in AoL, though normally the enemy names are wacky in that one.

7 out of 15, which is pretty good, given that I've never played the game. Just guessing based on general Zelda knowledge.

@Grackler exactly the same here!

@Spider-Kev I’m thinking it’s the ax-wielding ones from AoL. Also you’re forgetting LA comes before OoT as well (but there aren’t any lizalfos in it).

13/15 not too shabby

11/15. When I was a kid this was my favorite game to watch my brother play and I would look up everything about it on Zelda Dungeon and other websites like that

@LavaTwilight Thank you so much. I wouldnt be able to live with myself not being reported, at least.

Wrongly chose Nayru because of the "Nayru's Love" item that protects you. Thought it might have been related. Wrongly chose 14 songs because I counted a song from Majora's Mask (song of double time). Lastly, got Floormasters and Wallmasters confused. Pretty sneaky, indeed!

13/15. I failed on questions 6 and 13.

Oh dear my score is too embarrassing to share though I have seen all this game has to offer many times! I clearly wasn’t paying attention and/or have a bad memory!

Lol at anyone who didn't get floormasters.

...cos even I got that one right and I only got 4/15.

But at least I've beat the game bruv.

15/15. I play it randomised fairly regularly. I pretty much know the game inside out even if I’m not all that talented at performing the complicated glitches!

I got 9 out of 15. I never noticed the Bowser brooch, and I don't give a crap about the Zelda timeline. There were a few I didn't remember.

12/15. I guess to be fair, two of them I got wrong via not knowing knowledge of Zelda beyond OOT. Like 3/4 of those enemies I have no memory of being in pre-OOT Zelda.

Also I don't know enough about OOT regardless, because I only found out this year there's an upgrade you can get locked out of.

@Dark_Isatari There's the lizard men, but I just figured they were in similar enemy groups, not the same exact enemy.

For me, still the best 3d zelda, followed by botw, then twilight princess, and lastly windwaker.

9/15, not bad for a game I last played 8 years ago when it came to Wii U VC.

10/15. I only beat it once, nearly two years ago. So I did decently. I missed the sage question because I was hurrying through and didn’t read all the answers.

Pretty sure Lizalfos' debuted in OoT, so that question actually has two correct answers.

14/15 got the new recurring enemy wrong

Always good to make an appearance in a quiz

13/15. Pretty decent score.

14/15. The Floormaster question tripped me up. I forgot the hand enemies were called WALLmasters in Zelda 1 and not floormasters

12 out of 15...and I don't think I've played all the way through since oh... 2003?

It's kind of hard to forget Ocarina. It and Metal Gear Solid slammed the door wide open on 3-D open sandbox adventure gaming.

@BlueBCA Lizalfos debuted in Zelda II.

https://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/Lizalfos

So I got 13 out of 15 correct, yet funnily enough I knew the Scarecrow's Song was liable to be a trick question but decided against marking it as an actual song because it's technically NOT a song Link learns, nor does it appear on the status quest screen log for songs listed. Also the question regarding which enemy debuted in OoT should feature both the Lizalfos and Floormaster, given that technically Lizalfos did mark their initial appearance in OoT.

The question itself is misconceiving the Lizalfos enemy with the Geru enemy from AoL and the Zazak enemy from ALttP, for which yeah they sport similar characteristics to the Lizalfos, but aren't the same. This is like equating, for example, Chu-Chus from the cell-shaded Zelda games with Buzz Blobs from ALttP, LA, etc, or Bubbles with Wisps; they're similar but not the same.

The only two I didn't know was the Malon necklace and the timeline, otherwise nice quiz, can't believe it has been 25 years

@Captain4359 same score just 20 years for me.

Timeline questions? Really? Those games aren't linked to eachother in any way, they're legends. Separate stories. Whatever they wrote to sell books won't retcon the past.

15/15, but that didn't surprise me considering how well I know the in's and out's of this game.

Only got 10 out of 15! 😔

Now do a quiz like this about Super Metroid.

13/15 for me. Only ones I got wrong were the number of ocarina songs (since I was going off my memory of the song list in the game) and the enemy debut (since I have no idea on those things).

@FunGuy That's blatantly incorrect information. I'm surprised even Zelda Dungeon named it a Lizalfos. That's a Geru. Totally different enemies than Lizalfos. Question 13 is just plain wrong.
https://zeldawiki.wiki/wiki/Geru#The_Adventure_of_Link

I also feel cheated about the song question. You don't "learn" the Scarecrow's Song.
@JimNorman

5/15 and I only actually knew the answer to the first question.

Oof. It has been a while. 7 out of 15. I barely remember the specifics of that game...my only time with it was when it was new.

Lizalfos debuted in Ocarina of Time, the question is incorrect. Zelda II had a similar enemy, but the game called them Geru

Dang, I was hoping this would be one that I aced. 12/15, could have been 13 if I actually took the time to try recalling the ocarina songs one by one lol

I got 6 out of 15 which were all guesses because I played this about two hours, 25 years ago, and hated the game and never looked back 😂

İ have scored 12 from 15. İ did not know how many songs there are. Timeline directly from Ocarina of time and which god produced the lifefroms who would uphold the law.

İn the beginning İ was very happy with this because İ how Ocarina of time pretty well.

20/15. Not bad for a game that's about to shadow drop at the game awards.

10/15. I haven't played this since...

...2011, on 3DS. What the hell?

10/15. Not bad, but I could do better.

Screw yall for including the Scarecrow Song on #3 lol. I'm claiming my 13/15 dammit.

Wait, which game had Lizalfos before OoT?

Took the quiz seriously till I stumbled upon the timeline question.. why even think of asking that when there are so many more things you could ask about OoT itself.

But hey.. About 3-4 months ago Felix did an awesome series of livestreams playing OoT for the first time. At the end we voted about what you'd be trying out next (I think it was MM). It's been completely silent since then. Are you still planning on doing it? If not.. please let us know instead of letting it secretly die.
It was awesome to see and take some small part of (giving hints when asked)!

14/15. The only one I messed up on was the one pertaining to the Reoccuring enemy.

I’m happy with 10/15 since I last played it on the N64 24 years ago

I got 3 right and two of those where guesses. its been almost 25 years since I’ve played it and I think the only thing I can remember about Oot is where to go to fish

12/15, but question 3 is wrong so really 13/15

@Shepdawg1 Yeah, when I got that one wrong and it was immediately followed by a "timeline" question, I decided not to finish the quiz.

I missed timeline, brooches, and enemy series debut.

Huh guys.
The first line of the game is from the Deku tree but the first line of dialog of the game, as in a dialog actually spoken to another character, comes from Navi.

That's okay though your quiz is still pretty awesome.

@JimNorman hahah, no worries! OoT being my favorite game of all time, I felt very passionate about getting those questions..."wrong" 😂 thanks for adjusting the quiz! I really enjoyed doing it!!

@kkslider5552000
Locked-away upgrade...
Are you referring to the Ice Arrows?

@NintendoLife:
"What is the total number of different songs that Link can play on the ocarina?"
I can play hundreds of songs on the in-game ocarina!
X-Men, X-Files, Simpsons themes, plus a crap ton of rock and roll songs!

@mlt No it's still the Deku Tree, the first line of dialog talking to another character is the Deku Tree talking to Navi.

@lacaras4
OMG you're absolutely right.
I stand corrected and kudos to you!

Hyrule Historia has nothing to do with knowledge of OoT and shouldn't be a question here. It didn't exist until 15 years after OoT released. As such, a lot of people that played it as a child wouldn't have any of the knowledge that it tried to shove down our throats. Even today, I don't have any of that knowledge because I rejected it outright as steaming hot garbage.

7/15. But to be fair I have a terrible memory.
My memory is so bad I sometimes get stuck in some of the dungeons when I replay the game even though I have completed the game about half a dozen times LOL.

@Spider-Kev No, there's a deku stick upgrade you can get in the Lost Woods that you can't get for some reason if you do an entirely unrelated sidequest.

@species8472
Lucky you! I would love to forget all about it.

@BongoBongo for your birthday I’ll make you a BongoBongo quiz.
“How many bosses must you defeat until bongo bongo?” “Who was bongo bongo before becoming a dungeon boss?” “Who gives Link his seventh full heart container?”

Thanks for the quiz!

1. Assuming we are not counting mini-bosses, I would say 6. I believe you need to complete at least Forest, Fire and Water temples before the Shadow temple

2. Hmmm not sure - but think there is a theory it was one of the Four Giants from Majora’s Mask

3. Well you start with 3 and so, ignoring pieces of heart, the 7th will be the first you get as Adult Link. So likely to be Saria (or technically it’s left behind by Phantom Ganon?)
