Inside the Great Deku Tree Recreated in Super Mario Maker
Posted on September 06 2015 by Alexis S. Anderson
Super Mario Maker is a much anticipated game for a wide range of gamers, and YouTube’s Really Freakin’ Clever has a little something to sweeten the deal for Zelda fans. Really Freakin’ Clever was able to preview Super Mario Maker and immediately tried to recreate Inside the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time using side-scroller Mario elements. While the level doesn’t appear very similar to its Ocarina of Time counterpart it is filled with “Deku Babas,” can be played through as Link, has an insect like boss, and many other related design choices. Check out the level after the jump!
The deliberate level design choices that Really Freakin’ Clever chose to relate this side scroller to the 3D dungeon in Ocarina of Time were clever in and of themselves. He hopes to make more of the Ocarina of Time “kid” dungeons in Super Mario Maker as well, so look out for those in the future. In the meantime, check out some of Really Freakin Clever’s other Zelda related videos or go to his channel for his Things Wrong With series, Musical Parodies, and Clever Challenges.
Super Mario Maker launches September 11th.
What did you think of Really Freakin’ Clever’s design? Which other Ocarina of Time dungeon would you want him to recreate next? Are you going to try something similar when you get your copy of Super Mario Maker? Let us know in the comments!
