Thank you all for keeping up with this series! We'll be carrying on into next year! Let us know what your favorite thing you picked up in this episode! 😄

Unkown fact: in lookout landing, as you recruit sages, each one will add a flag with its people's emblem on it where Purah usually stands. For example, if you have Yunobo and Sidon unlocked, there will be a Goron and Zora flag on Purah's platform !

In time, we're all inevitably gonna grow nostalgic for this game like we did with BOTW.

​@@KarateGirl999 fr back when Majoras Mask came out I was like "nothing will ever feel as nostalgic as OOT!" But now I look back at both equally nostalgic

Secret stone symbols seems to be based on kanji for their element. 風 (wind) for Tulin 火 (fire) or maybe 炎 (flame) for Yunobo 水 (water) for Sidon 雷 (thunder) for Riju 魂 (spirit) for Mineru 闇 (darkness) for Ganondorf

[@Bubba-64]

Cool, thanks man

[@user-wp7io3lc3t]

The amount of work Nintendo puts into the Zelda franchise is insane 😁 !

[@sanka0313]

Yeah but making good dungeons is a problem for them

[@kass3333]

​@@sanka0313 it's crazy how consistent you people are. Whenever someone comments about ANYTHING in a positive way, you can guarantee the first reply will be negative, it's insanely predictable!

​@@bilbpbanefrrr I saw a guy comment excitedly about the GTA VI trailer, and the very first reply was some troll whining about "too little too late" or something 🤦‍♂️

​@@sanka0313l will never understand what you people think you're accomplishing. Getting everyone to laugh at you? You aren't wrong about the dungeons but geez way to ruin a perfectly fine comment.

[@Alkaris]

Not only is that stabilizer trick effective going up, it can be good to launch yourself side-ways too when angled a certain way, perhaps as a way to get to the next Shrine or Lightroot as fast as possible.

[@jampharos]

worth mentioning that while construct parts can be thrown into the zonai dispenser, they will always only ever give 1, regardless of how valuable it is, so it's best to use just the cheap ones

[@ElClaudio]

I assumed everyone knew about this, since at the time you get to the first dispenser one barely has five different items, and the energy things don't last

[@posyol]

Tears of the Kingdom, my GOTY, the details and the gameplay are just so mindblowing!

[@Bubba-64]

Same

[@jinzo2678]

And here I'm sitting around telling myself "Roughly enough time has pass that a new episode of "things you didn't know about TotK" is due" and here it is. Thanks, I gotta get this game eventually.

[@brodiecarteris]

You can also deflect the Flame Gleeok Fireball with a Spring Shield, no parry is required.

[@jimmyc.491]

Can't say I would've thought to fuse something water-related to a Zora sword. Talk about sneaky. 😄

[@ethanmahajerin8197]

another thing is the way Link holds the master sword. He holds it so the "sharp" parts are horizontal, not vertical like all other 1 handed weapons

[@Cruz_ignatius]

Well it’s a big sword

[@NorbiWhitney]

Am I crazy or isn't the statues pointing the way, a huge part of the depths exploration?

[@SuperDestroyerFox]

Yeah. There is a main story mission telling you to follow them to find something and besides lightroots (which were probably on the path to be nice) you find the mines.

[@Waikuteru]

Maybe we'll see the Poison Water being restored (in a future Custom Dungeon), who knows! 😀

[@Verchiel_]

cheeky

[@user-fq2ol1hu9x]

I would love to see that

[@EscoBeast]

Here's another thing you might not have noticed: tips 2 and 3 got their order swapped in this video!

[@user-if4nx2jn8r]

I don't know how you got those Yiga machines that high up the Dueling Peaks, but I love that.

[@DarkZerav]

Lesson #1 from the Korok Space Program: rockets make everything fly everywhere.

[@krishnamckay3247]

5:21 This is my fave one this time. I can really see it being temporary invincibility bcuz of what you mentioned, but also how in wind waker, eating grandma's soup 🍲 does something similar. I really wish it had been added as it could've really impacted the game 🎮 & allowed for another cool armor set 😒 I guess we'll have to wait until the next entry in 2026 though

[@mythic369]

the statue one isn't a hidden secret, it's something intended in the games story that you find out on the quest to find the great abandoned central mine. they lead the major mines that kogah is located

[@Lamz.Z1]

Number 11 about the gloom roots was my fav. I do so love this series. This was a very pleasant watch. A break from life and work.

[@capgorski]

Love this series. It's a must watch every time it appears in my feed

[@OhNuzzy]

I think TOTK is the best game Ive ever played. Game just gives me a feeling i never felt before

[@get_stached]

3:11 - That looks so cool! I've never even seen that clip before

[@ERYK2109]

the first time I did an proper exploration of the Depths I figured out I should follow the statues I started following the purple path (2:43), missed the central mine and followed the entire orange path no wonder I couldn't find Auto Build until 60h into the game

[@lamb-orgini8459]

Fun fact! If you shine a mirror straight at an NPC’s eyes they will comment about how bright it is.

[@ThaThree]

Something about this background music takes me back to the PS2-PS3 generation. Love it!

[@zeromontalvan1514]

in the zelda error fact, one of the speech bubbles is near the place where in botw was a non cell-shaded place that it was partially fixed in totk, maybe the footage is posibly when they were to fix it

[@Sparkjolteon]

I imagine given the icon that Emergency Avoid was probably a survive-next-lethal-hit-with-half-a-heart buff. Makes the most sense given the game's mechanics, the icon (since it also doubles as a good failsafe for new players) and even the placeholder name (literally helps you avoid emergencies)

[@ma3mc3mu-X]

Another thing: The Charged Armour set is the only set which has Link be barefoot.

[@tattertot8259]

Help for the u shape stabilizers one, first do you need to activate the stabilizer? Second the u shape breaks apart and it’s gone

[@E3Student-gv1mp]

I know something that you don’t know about totk. If you eat a food or elixir with the glow effect and go to the dye shop with the effect still active the materials you hold while dye with also glow. COOL

[@datdiscoguy3744]

I bet Twice Jump used to be the froggy suit buff instead of "slip proof"

[@ZepTheGamer]

I hope you fix your stick drift soon, king

[@adamnakamura8003]

1:25 We achieving Heaven with this one!

[@chrisheyden9219]

In the shrine where you have to light the torches I tried it out if you have a rocket on your shield you can skip that and end the shrine

[@chrisheyden9219]

It’s the gerudo maze sky shrine

[@armadillo5754]

I recently discovered that if you shield surf with the lynel armor containing spikes, Link just falls over, because the spikes get stuck in the ground. What an incredible detail.😂

[@Stabby_red_slugcat]

The fact a cannonball deletes a gleeok fireball, is ironic as heck

[@Spawn256]

King scale on zora swords!

[@C4Rn4g3-]

I know I’m very late, but I just found a message whilst I was tp-ing that said “shrine walls are too steep or slick to climb etc” however this was changed in this game I don’t think you have already said it, and I don’t think I’m on the wrong version or something, but it may just be smthing wrong with me/my game

[@mistadomino]

Can we get more on the ancient hero’s aspect?

[@paulvillarin9701]

Do you know that the spa owner in gerudo town can change if your damaged

[@liuby33]

I know there are a lot of discussions around whether it should be TOTK or BG3 who win the GOTY, but lemme just say it here that after playing TOTK and also 30 hours of BG3, TOTK really got its rival this year. It would have been easily the GOTY if BG3 wasn't out. This is only 3 years into the decade, but I'm pretty confident both of them are my GOTDs.

[@Shaprite]

Emergencyavoid? Let's just call it what it is: Ultra Instinct.

[@deaconaligood]

Fun fact: Phantom Ganon actually has a secret stone on his head, since his appearance mimic's Ganondorf's decayed appearance. Edit: Also, did you know you could recall the cannon zonai device's cannonballs? (both of these facts may have been covered, but ears) Edit 2: You can also take pictures of the Yiga Blademaster and Yiga Footsoldier through the window of the base on the Great Plateau, this might be known, or have been covered, but its still cool. Edit 3: you can also Tulin Gust with a cuccoo

[@DarkLink1996]

If you fuse a rocket to a long throw weapon, it launches it further

[@shellderp]

a bunch of these are literally taught in the game, like the horns and statues leading you

[@s3eriousbl9ck26]

Goes to show you how much they have to reach and scrape for "things you didn't know about TotK." Even toward the end of BotW there were still more frequent videos with things you actually didn't know. It's like they're trying hard to make it seem like TotK is bringing a lot new small details but really much of what's to offer has already been explored in BotW. This game is dying out faster as well. From casual to speed running I've noticed people playing it less and less.

[@paulvillarin9701]

Do you know that the spa owner in Gerudo town can Change if you order a spa plan If you’re damaged it can change the Chat box

[@harrisonractivand4451]

If you stand at 0672 - 0793 - 0001 in the well there is flashing red smoke I suspect there is a clipped camp fire here because it is nowhere else in the cave.

[@askthepizzaguy]

Let's face it, the real Zelda would also nerd out over the Yiga vehicles. She's a scientist in a world where vehicles are brand new again.

[@monstergamer2695]

Well i may be late but did you know totk my home is similar to shop song in oot it look so cool idea Edit: no wait it was come from link house from oot. Correct me if I wrong
