16 MORE Things You STILL Didn't Know In Zelda Breath Of The Wild

This time in Breath of the Wild, we show how Nintendo updates the map as you play the game, the newest broken glitch that duplicates anything, and the many places poison water is located in Breath of the Wild.
In the video above, we cover 16 facts, tips and tricks that aren’t quite as well known, ranging from secrets to glitches that are pretty simple and others that are fairly complex. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been out for five years at this point, and players have found some amazing things, intended or not, that keep the game and its sense of discovery feeling fresh.

"Something Nintendo didn't have to think about, but they did anyways." This is why I love BOTW can't wait for its sequel. Loving the content btw

[@dhft4g]

Yeah it's crazy. 99% of players won't even notice little details like NPC running speeds or lizalfos eyes, but the devs still went the extra mile anyway.

@@flewis02 I mean they were making this game for tens of years straight so obviously this was gonna be good BOTW 2 is gonna be crazy tho 2016-2023 is 7 years that’s more then most zelda game times so it should be a lot better

[@RinHara5aki]

I’m gonna be honest, these are slowly becoming more and more difficult to make, but I’m glad everyone still sticks around and enjoys this show! *Also, let me add an addendum to the Wolf Link buff. Wolf Link's damage is scaled by 0.25 of how many hearts you have, depending on your Twilight Princess HD/Amiibo Card heart amount. Wolf Link's base damage is 10, so your damage may vary depending on the amount of Wolf Link hearts you have!

[@colin6770]

I have two good facts: 1: the snow boots, sand boots, and thunder helm allows link to go into gerudo town with the rest of the gerudo set 2: I found the locations of the red moblin and green lizalfos in master mode, the moblin at sherfin’s secret hot spring (at the top left of the map. And the lizalfos is north-east of the wasteland tower. It is near a lone tree with a korok puzzle on the top of the tree

[@Chubby_Bub]

I think there's a Red Bokoblin near where you find the Giant Horse

[@colin6770]

Yeah, they have already gone over that in master mode. They haven’t gone over the moblin or lizalfos yet

[@boi69420]

Don't forget the thunder helm

[@colin6770]

I think a good amount of people knew that already, but I guess I’ll add it in

[@Bonovasitch]

There's also another green Lizalfos to the south of Luto's Crossing - behind the cliff face there's a small pond you can find it swimming around in.

[@QueenofSilence101]

That poison water is still mentioned in the final game, even though it was never implemented. One of the loading screen tips mentions "poisonous bogs formed by water contaminated by malice".

[@complantayberryproductions]

yeah- those are malice puddles

[@equinox-XVI]

I think they scraped some of the code for poison water and made it into the malice currently in the game. Except its a solid object instead of water and hurts _much_ more to touch it.

[@allnglnntsnmla]

I think they were referring to the black goo. I'm not sure if I remember it right, but one of towers have it on its ground.

[@braydengraves4655]

That's mud, but the tip actually refers to malice, not the scrapped poison.

[@fastboi2390]

The bit about Wolf Link was actually SUPER useful. I had him with me on many adventures, but I noticed he did pitiful damage, even with maxed hearts. Definitely giving him a proper meal before bringing him along on my next adventure!

[@novaduck_iv]

Every time I see one of these videos I think "this HAS to be the last one!" But then another one comes out and I get excited to watch it all over again.

[@TheBreadPirate]

I love that Wolf Link can actually be useful! I assumed he was impractical to use after the beginning of the game.

[@dhft4g]

I'm surprised the game doesn't tell you about the meat buff, that is actually super useful

[@freespeechi]

[@freespeechi]

@@dhft4g I think that's part of the reason why BOTW is so good. It doesnt tell you everything and lets you discover it on your own. Probably the reason why this series is still going strong after so long too :0

Even though I don't have him I always think that wolf link is such a cool idea. Also I really like the content you make.

[@aldifrpf1188]

Hi Bread

[@reecey1504]

Perhaps the magnesis issue isn’t actually a bug, it makes sense in a way that perhaps your sheikah slate (on your right hand side) actually drags the thrown weapon that way.

[@Diddmaster]

Your comment needs more upvotes!

[@desmondschneider5397]

Makes sense, although it happens with non metal things too, so it’s strange on that regard, but idk, maybe.

[@lookatthisguy]

something that should be in the next video is the fact that when you have a registered horse and you ram it into an ore deposit, it will give off a spark which can be used to start a fire because of its horse shoes being made of steel. just something nintendo was really smart about.

[@DJSKirby64]

This series will never die. I love this game so much!

[@komaytoprime]

My favorite thing was definitely the Lizalfos fact. That's such a cool detail!

[@_AllisonRae_]

I got instant Mario vibes when he said “poison water”. This could of been really neat to have in game. Instead of the training area with the mud pool, it could of been poison water, and I think that would be super cool. Or it could of been used to show certain parts of water had been polluted due to either the calamity’s malice, or the citizens of Hyrule becoming lazy and unintentionally polluting the water

[@RinHara5aki]

It’s funny you say that, I remember this poison water I’m talking about is “PoisonBogWater” but there’s another asset labeled as just “poison water” which refers to the waterway filled with the gerudo’s hydromelon rinds she throws away and pollutes the water, so there is some merit to what you’re saying 😉

Perhaps it's just a little silly as is? With the color it's almost comical.

[@AnonymOus-ss9jj]

@@CyanicCore Well the idea of the water being muddy makes sense, a pool of purple corrosive water occurs nowhere in nature, but I suppose there's malice. But when you say comical, do you mean the water looks like doo-doo?

[@atticusharden7528]

1 thing I didn't know about botw that I think is worth mentioning. In Master Mode, In Hebra, at Sherfin's Secret Hot Spring, there's one lonesome red Moblin, just like the red boko at the Great Plateau

[@RinChan82]

There's a single one of the lowest tier bokoblin, moblin, lizalfos, and wizrobe in master mode where there wasn't one in normal mode. It's for the compendium. So there's also a green lizalfos somewhere near Zora's Domain (I think it's in the pond just southwest of Ruto Mountain), a fire wizrobe in Akkala Wilds near a burnt out house, an ice wizrobe on top of the Forgotten Temple, and an electric wizrobe in Nautelle Wetlands.

[@loserguy1022]

The sequel he's referring to is BOTW 2 coming in 2023. The game youre talking about is more of a spin-off than a sequel. Hyrule Warriors, right? Was dissapointed for sure. Just a bland action game similiar to the likes of Dynasty Warriors.

[@painuchiha2694]

@Goose on the Loose! Yeah that’s definitely not the sequel I’m talking about lol It’s a complete spin-off maybe aside the story Obviously it doesn’t feel or play anything like botw The real sequel has been announced years ago and is delayed to next year You should check it out there’s a couple of small teasers trailers

I saw a run where a guy finished all the shrines without runes and they discovered something new.

I found another area today where you can go slightly inside the map, similar to how it’s done near the Akkala Fairy Fountain - it’s east of the Desert Labyrinth and west of the snowball shrine, where you can climb up the mountain through a small gap into the rock. Then you can climb invisible walls! I also have a screenshot of the exact location.

[@88Opportunist]

As someone who thinks BOTW's one major flaw is item durability I'm looking forward to that video on IST. I know I said I prefer in-universe cheese to actual glitches on a previous vid but I'll make an exception for this one since simply cloning your favourite weapon 20 times is the perfect counter to feeling anxiety when using it under normal conditions.

[@desmondschneider5397]

I may have actually run into poison water under the plateau, lol. Extremely tiny patch of it. Like, 20 pixels. I saw no lava, but considering the scrapped code you said, it probably was that.

If you’re extremely quick, you can search it and get an ancient piece before it wakes up. However I’m pretty sure it only works for the guardian on mount drenna. The video clip is on DarkStorm3’s channel, I do believe. I’d love you to include this!

The poison water would be cool to add to Vah Ruta puzzles inside the beast, or just had something to do with getting into the beast, like poison water in Majoras Mask, poison water was an obstacle (well, not really, with deku mask) to get through before getting to Woodfall Temple. (Also, instead of Vah Ruta flooding lanayru, what if it polluted all the water under Zora domain, and through all the rivers and lakes in the area?)

Because getting "Surf Up" on something used to stop you from dying clutters the pool compared to the other two options which are actually universally beneficial to stopping you from dying. Remember once you learn what shields are good for surfing you'd use said shields for surfing only.
