I like the change where the Lynel looks at Link when he parries their charge attack also because it's like they're in awe that the tiny Link managed to completely stop a charging giant beast running on all fours at him

[@ashleycurzon6348]

Back in the days of BoTW someone worked out that to pull of that feat of strength link would need to move his arm (and shield) with the force of a literal rocket taking off, and he doesn't even have the triforce of power.

[@Mendas_Drainova]

On all six even

[@AbeM.]

It went from “what just happened?” to “what gives you the right?”

[@TheSonicFairy]

All SIX. Their man arms are used as well as their horse legs.

[@sharmilakrishnakumar2499]

​@@ashleycurzon6348I think you are talking about the zelda tuber zeltik

[@wahvie2986]

idk if you've mentioned it before but the Hylia statues say slightly different things. BOTW they say "Go bring peace to Hyrule," and TOTK they say "Go bring peace to the world"

[@zeromontalvan1514]

Something i really appreciate its how the colors work in the 3 games, age of calamity, botw and totk, in age of calamity we have a lot of color because everyone not only survives but at the same time its living a whole war, meanwhile in botw we have less saturation giving a kind of sad vibe to the game since everyone lost, your friends and family died and link is on a post apocalyptic world, but then in totk we continue the story, the world still haven't returned to the level of before the calamity but everyone is giving his best to restore the kingdom with the game having more colors than botw but still not the colors from age of calamity and also with the dephts gives another layer literally and figuratively, with everyone having a slightly normal life but under that there is a whole world filled with darkness where all the colors are gone

[@xinpingdonohoe3978]

An interesting spin I've not thought of before.

[@K_M279]

I never really noticed the difference in the colours but this is really interesting

[@Alloveck]

The Hateno music coverage was expanded to show that the village has become more established. It's doing better, gotten stronger so to speak, so more of its surroundings are falling under its influence. It's like when a character makes a dramatic entrance or otherwise does something important and then their personal theme music starts, likely overriding what was already playing in that scene. The most powerful presence in any given time or place defines the music, that's just game logic there.

[@FatPaps]

I do find it odd that links stamina replenishes when he swims up waterfalls. Logically it would make sense that his stamina would deplete going up waterfalls at 100 mph, I also find it odd why they didn’t allow link to swim that fast in flat water only waterfalls, maybe in the next Zelda game 😂

[@chaitoast]

I think they replenished the stamina so you wouldn't run into a problem where you use up a lot of your stamina gliding over to one of the waterfalls leading up to the sky islands and then go up with not enough stamina left over to glide for very long once you're up there

[@Vendavalez]

@@chaitoast I assume that is precisely the reason. It makes certain challenges possible for someone who may not be as skilled at the game. At the same time, I wish that swimming didn’t take stamina with the Zora Armor just for consistency. I don’t believe that it would have broken anything that isn’t already trivially broken.

[@AbeM.]

I like to believe the Zora Armor just has super extreme buoyancy and Link is really just floating upwards through the water.

[@TheRealBOBlibob]

@@Vendavalez The devs probably want us to build half assed boats using Ultrahand :|

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Fish magic

[@verdantmistral442]

After checking his arm and puts it at his side again, the suspicious glance he gives it after a beat is kind of funny.

[@elianewinter2638]

i find it curious how Flux Constructs share some similarities with the Goron Golem, a beta enemy from an unreleased version of twilight princess.

[@xinpingdonohoe3978]

Here's another one: the Bargainer Statues look like the beta Armos Titan from Twilight Princess.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Having Link start swimming up the waterfall right away in TOTK was such a relief. I guess it was also completely necessary due to the addition of glider-to-waterfall traversal puzzles. Creating a Champion actually explains both why Link stops holding the Sheikah Slate and why he still has it on his hip in Self Portrait mode - there's a tiny dragonfly drone inside the eye of the Sheikah symbol that flies out. You never get to see it because, well, it's the camera.

[@Lavendelaura]

On the last one, I think the range of the village music has extended in every major town, not just Hateno!! I haven't been able to fact-check this yet though

3:13 lol, the scene from the trailer is just an idle animation

[@Link-Link]

FR JUST NOTICED THAT XD Like all throughout the game I was like "Wait when did Link even started looking at his arm while standing like that?!"

[@ArcadeTheatre]

Waterfalls acting like walls in TotK was a nice change. I like to look out at my surroundings while swimming up the waterfalls.

[@coopsaf]

I noticed the Hateni music stopped in BOTW when I first went up to see those animals and the tech lab. I was confused why it stopped because I knew I was still in the village. I thought I might have gone too far which is why the music stopped. Glad it was updated in TOTK

[@Mr.G_717]

I read the 4th word wrong 😮

[@pigeongod3450]

Is it weird that I actually find it harder to headshot Lynels in ToTK compared to BotW?

[@CouragelessOne]

The look the Lynel gives Link after being parried is so "Oh no you didn't you little shit"

[@BR-jw7pm]

It’s amazing all the little detail the developers put into this masterpiece!

[@red5158077]

Man i really need to jump back into Totk.

[@aisadal2521]

Loving that flexing Link in the thumbnail! 🥰

[@Thephoenixofgaming]

3:24 Link still does this animation with armor on

[@lundylow]

5:59 Honestly, Shadow Link jumping out of your camera would be an amazing jumpscare.

[@Jarino507]

6:58 rotating him in my head like a microwave. :)

[@lundylow]

3:46 PLEASE, Nintendo, give us back Majora's Mask Zora swimming pls. The low-grav Water Temple was a cute substitute, but make swimming fun again. I wanna jump out of the water like a dolphin.

[@SmooveShotta]

6:11 *da na na naaa* lol isn’t that totk pose from the old zelda games where link would find something then hold it over his head ?

[@blasthornet7179]

Fun fact: If you throw (or fuse arrow) with a brightbloom seed nearby Little Frox(s), they will eat the seeds!

[@jean-felixdraws]

Thanks for the great video

[@michaelt7687]

Hateno Village’s music expansion is a nice upgrade. I was so confused about the village landscape in my first play through of BOTW. P.S. the music sounds familiar because it resembles Willy Wonka’s song 🍭

[@KairuHakubi]

I could have been aiming my way up the waterfalls this whole time??

[@Schimnesthai]

It was in my head cannon that the camera has the ability to hover near link, i had more examples of that happening but i can't remember.

[@OhNoTheFace]

I mean the waterfall recovery is entirely so they can do puzzles with it. Same with the glide thing. All so then can make puzzles and junk :o

[@Mr.G_717]

Never disappoint

[@wantedbird55srandomchannel28]

6:55 I began laughing

[@icosahydro]

I think that the waterfall ascend ability is strictly related to the Zora chestpiece, not to the armor in general ;)

[@justinevilofficial]

6:48 spinning link

[@SonicTheCutehog]

The Zora Armor got changed a lot

[@painuchiha2694]

Swimming is too hard I’ll drown help… Swims up a waterfall no problem recovers stamina too lol

[@RobloxOverloadGames]

In botw do the apparatus heart glitch

[@Cliffordlonghead]

Ok

[@bukansiapasiapa_0]

Why rotating link is so funny to me?

[@redcomet0079]

TOTK is GOTY. Videos like this prove it 🏆

[@Pemgug]

there is no way that goat at the end really sounds like that. That's just a dude.

[@xinpingdonohoe3978]

No, that was goatly.

[@davidwhidden9337]

I dislike the idle animation in TOTK. It's fine the first few times but as the story goes on it's redundant, since Link is used to the arm now.

[@lilaclunablossom]

I'm sorry but having an arm like that would never stop blowing someone's mind

[@davidwhidden9337]

@@lilaclunablossom I'm sorry, but when you've had it in game for an unspecified amount of time and have to use it for various tasks, including but not limited to defending yourself from imminent death, yes, you would get used to it.

[@xinpingdonohoe3978]

Well, it is a transplant from an entirely different species. Maybe it tingles.
