Ocarina of Time Hmm... Has This Happened to Anyone Else?

[Beauts]

I am with most people in saying I didn't know this happened, but to be honest I usually switch it off after Navi leaves.

 

[Mellow Ezlo]

I actually did not know about this before.

Granted, I have never beaten the N64 version (I have the VC version). When I beat it, I don't leave the end screen on long enough to pay attention, anyway.

 

[balloonofwar4]

I have it on VC. Will it work on that?

 

[ihateghirahim]

I think it will, but the only way to know it to try it.

 

[Shadow Blade]

I have never seen this but in the times I spent researching the game I learned about it a long time ago I have also heard that the scarecrows song can be heard multiple times at the end screen played by different instruments.

 

[Heroine of Time]

Wait.

What?

This DOESN'T happen to everyone? XDDDD

No, I'm dead serious! This always happens to me! I've always heard my Scarecrow's Song on the "the end" screen... and it seems to me that if you wait long enough, you'll start to hear it in different sounds too, like Malon's singing or something... or maybe I'm imagining that... or I read it somewhere or something...

And I can assure if you, it's not on a file with no deaths. I suck at video games and have never beat OoT without dying at least twice, so that's not the case...

Also, I own it on the Wii Virtual Console, so yes, it works just fine there. It doesn't work on the 3DS version, though, obviously. It doesn't stick around at the screen with Zelda.

I know, right?

 

[onebizarrekai]

This happened to my sister after she beat Ocarina of Time for the first time, since we were waiting to see if something would happen after the The End screen. If you wait long enough, it plays different versions.

I also thought this was common knowledge...

 

[A Link In Time]

I guess I'm not a true Ocarina fan. Time to cry in a corner.

I'll have to remember to do this next time I beat the game.

 

[ihateghirahim]

Just how many people thought this was common knowledge?

 

[Salem]

^Probably everyone who waited thought it was common knowledge, while everyone who shuts off the game early though it never exists.

 

[ihateghirahim]

What motivation could I have for leaving the screen sitting there for several minutes?

 

[Salem]

There is none.

 

[ThrawnTheater]

What motivation could I have for leaving the screen sitting there for several minutes?

The motivation to find something that clearly many people didn't know about. Of course, I had no idea whether anything would happen, but I was checking it out just to see. Isn't that how people stumble on glitches?

 

[BoxTar]

I loved it when that happened. I mostly just sat there in awe and sadness as I saw "The End" appear on the screen. Broke my heart as a kid. But hearing my weird Scarecrow Song play made me feel a little better, though.
