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

[@RinHara5aki]

Tears of the Kingdom is coming up soon! How excited are you guys?

[@USMCbrantley]

Too hype. I'm hoping I get lucky that my local gamestop gets extra copies of the collection edition sent to the store I was unable to snag the preorder. If I am able to then I'm get that and buy the game digital cause yall know the collection edition gonna go up in value. Look at Metroid Dread collection box its value now is more then the original price.

[@ngyt_real]

999999999999999999%

[@ingrowntoenailiv]

error 69420: too much hype

[@ParadoxalDream]

My excitement is a 14.5, on a 10 point scale.

[@kyleclair41]

Very. As a 33 year old, I'm as excited as 7 year old me when Super Mario 64 came out haha.

[@E11Val]

I am convinced this series will never end

[@musicaldoodles9615]

ikr, I imagine getting one around may too

[@hyrulemasterchef9573]

So am I

[@iNFiNiTTiB]

That's how you know you got a good game

[@stellar1463]

I think it will when totk is out. Though i think it's gonna be replaced with things you didn't know abt totk lol

[@jendylex]

Yeah

[@DennisderWendige]

The master sword also doesnt light up when you do the challenge in the Champions Ballade where you have to fight Guardians in order to get to a shrine because those Guardians arent possesed by ganon

[@kyleclair41]

I noticed that too!

[@MrDrProfJMF]

Talk about attention to detail...

[@fight_and_die1573]

The guardian theme also doesn’t play, pretty sure it’s the only way to see shiekah flying guardians, while no shiekah guardian stalkers are in the game (except for one memory cutscene)

[@jorgemtzb9359]

I did know that.

[@sarahroth526]

Same for the ones before the master cycle

[@IReallyLikeDrPepper]

What scares me the most about the enemy horns are that some were made for lynels which would imply that there could have been LYNEL PACKS because I mean who could they call other lynels?

[@mrbojangles1391]

Relics of the Past has Link fighting multiple Lynels at the same time. It's pretty intense!

[@thebaseandtriflingcreature174]

Not even age of calamity was that ruthless!

[@nexisvids]

They could call the kuccos

[@Mari_Izu]

Not only Hylians and Sheikahs, all races uses the UMii system, but only Hylians and Sheikah parts are based on regular Miis, but all races use the system to create minor NPCs (Major characters like Zelda or Impa have special models instead).

[@angelo8606]

Are you sure about that? The other races have a more limited number of models that they reuse for different characters with minor changes.

[@Mari_Izu]

@@angelo8606 Yes, and these minor changes are different parts used by the system, it just has less variations.

[@deepmind5318]

I always wondered why most games re use the same character models too often or have very limited character models. This can be seen even in some of the best games like resident evil 4 (original), where the mobs use the same exact models all the time. I thought a UMii like system existed for all games, but i guess not.

[@Mari_Izu]

@@deepmind5318 Nah, cases like RE4 they just make a number of full models and reuse as needed. There's no need to make something like UMiis in a game where there's a lot of mobs to deal with, in some places where you have to fight hordes. A system like UMii is extremly rare actually and usually only present in some RPGs, specially ones with character creation as they can just repurpose it to create the NPCs.

[@quinnmarchese6313]

@@deepmind5318 if devs create a character builder for the player to use, its likely that they used some version of it to build all the NPCs. the benefits are myriad with skeletal systems and animations being more easily adaptable for every model, it saves time, and it creates a visual unity for the game as a whole. you can look at any humanoid skyrim npc for example and recreate them with the given character creator. in most other cases, models are "hand"drawn and reused as needed. as ghenetto says, its rather rare for a dev to make a UMii like system in a game where they're not letting the player make their own character, as thats basically the main use case for it.

[@savaget2058]

This series deserves its own channel at this point

[@rasmusrasmusson7176]

My favourite fact is number 10, cutting guardian lasers with a windcleaver.

[@Peter-kt2gb]

That blew my mind!

[@karbohydrates1842]

That is anime as all heck.

[@pedrovictorsilvaladeira7877]

Yes! I have no Idea you could do this

[@quinnmarchese6313]

thats one of the really cool ones. i got really tired of these videos because they kinda leaned into like "hey did you know that you could do this glitch?" and im no speedrunner and i have no desire to "break" the game to achieve some more fun. BotW has enough stuff that is designed to be exploited in creative ways anyway (like stasis rune physics, okto balloons, enemy reactivity, bombs and such, chemical reactions, the actual regular physics simulation...) that all you need to impress me is a new trick you can do without spawning infinite items or whatever.

[@janTesika]

right!? so anime!

[@Jaydog8536]

I was playing Chanpions ballad and something I found out is that the one hit obliterator trial actually cancels the blood moon while it's up there. This means that you can see the blood moon change back to normal.

[@kungfudragon321]

You can also see the blood moon change back to normal if you simply watch it after the midnight cutscene finishes

[@DennisderWendige]

Also in hyrule Castle

[@Whofan06]

Same thing happens in Hyrule Castle, very frequently too if you're in their for a while.

[@peradomato]

The Master Sword glowing when near a guardian reminds me of the elven swords in Lord of the Rings, that shine blue when in the presence of orcs and other dark beings

[@gr4n737]

The legend of Zelda takes a lot of inspiration from Lord of the Rings so I wouldn't doubt that's where they got the concept from.

[@israelsettles8235]

@@gr4n737not trying to argue, but what else besides the glowing sword did they get from lord of the rings?

[@braydengraves4655]

Shield surfing may also be a reference to Legolas in The Two Towers. (The movie adaptation, not the book.) If I remember correctly, there was a surfing shield found in the files of Twilight Princess, the first 3D Zelda that came out after that movie. There is also a horse mounting animation when Link and the horse are running towards each other that also looks suspiciously like when Legolas does the same thing in one of the movies.

[@ExaltedUriel]

@@israelsettles8235 This certainly isn't definitive, but I always got the impression that the aesthetic and general tone of Twilight Princess, besides obviously being a serious overcorrection due to the initial backlash Wind Waker got on release, was based at least somewhat off the Peter Jackson LotR films.

[@itheman6s766]

Some facts that I found (Mostly related to Thyphlo Ruins): - Everyone knows that Luminous Stones glow in the dark, especially in Thyphlo Ruins. But did you know that all gemstones are visible to the eye in Thyphlo Ruins as well? They don’t glow, but they are totally visible, even Flint. - Just like with the Dark Link outfit, Link never blinks and his eyes glow in the dark with the Fierce Deity outfit. - The torches in Thyphlo Ruins actually help you find your way to the pedestal and the Hinox with the orb. Each torch points in the direction of another torch (even the ones on the entrance bridge, probably a hint to tell the player to follow the torches). Kinda like the first half of the traversing Lost Woods. - Another easy light source is drawing a bow with an elemental arrow. - You can use Octo Balloons and Revali’s Gale on a floating Master Mode platform to raise it high into the sky, and they won’t go back down. - Monolithsoft helped with the development of this game, but did you know there are 2 NPCs named Rex and Pyra? Rex is at South Akkala Stable and Pyra is at the Noble Canteen in Gerudo Town.

[@fight_and_die1573]

I did typhlo ruins after doing the champions ballad, I did the whole thing while on the master cycle since it has its own headlight lol

[@Maheli_Seli]

Best Lightsource is the Eponator Zero

[@Whofan06]

Typhlo Ruins is a great example of a puzzle in the game with a very intentional path and solution, but the nature of the game allows you to ignore that intention entirely and experiment how you want, or often the intended solution is more difficult because it's so easy to start and do something else.

[@hendrianfajar]

Dude, my initial thought when i got the free korok seed was some kind of a hidden achievement for paragliding over certain area of the map. glad the mystery has been solved.

[@quinnmarchese6313]

its crazy because you'll do all sorts of random stuff to get korok seeds that getting one just flying somewhere makes total sense and you wouldnt even consider the fact that it was actually just a side effect of the game culling polygons and such to maintain frame rate.

[@hendrianfajar]

@@quinnmarchese6313 exactly and also it was during my korok seeds journey! so i was like, "oh neat so there's another one up here"

[@lucasbernardo4855]

This video was super interesting! The fact that the master sword powers up on its own is super cool too! In the next video, you should test to see if it does bonus damage against link when its powered up and wielded by enemies

[@usecodeacidyt6964]

Interesting idea

[@tayloralyssahill]

I don’t think it would be done without mods, since the master sword cannot be dropped by link or from the items menu.

[@ShuckleShellAnemia]

It should, since the Master Sword doesn’t actually do bonus damage, it just increases its base power

[@falcoperegrinus2292]

@@ShuckleShellAnemia I think they are saying bonus damage it does to Guardians (when it glows).

[@usecodeacidyt6964]

@@tayloralyssahill it can be through glitches if you saw the video you would've seen a moblin holding the master sword look 0:00

[@romanfuchs1932]

Thanks for always finding things that I dont know. We have now gone through 23 episodes and I still learn something new. This is a truly amazing series. Keep it up Gamespot!

[@shoto_asui9123]

If you want to know a small glitch, if Link is flying with a cucco and gets struck by lighting, while wearing the Thunder Helm, the cucco will fly off and link will be left gliding as if he were still golding onto it.

[@RipVanFish09]

Time to record a clip of that and confuse my friends lol

[@Prezo321]

Bro, the fact you can cut the guardian blasts with the windcleaver is really sick.

[@Siper2]

This video series will never end, and I love it. 😁 Interesting thing about the weather on Eventide Island too: for anyone who has ever visited the Caribbean, or lives there, it's quite common to get a rainstorm once per day. They usually don't last long, half an hour or less many times. At least to me, it seemed to be a little bit of a nod to the weather patterns down there. I could be wrong, but just a thought. 🙂

[@1bludbought]

I love that 6 years later we are still finding new things out. Unbelievable. 🎉 Best game of all time.

[@magicgadget]

While many of these have been noted by other Zelda tubers I love the presentation here and encourage more vids so this can be the de facto Easter egg/glitch/hidden detail reference.

[@todd3143]

blocking guardian laser with a wind slash is anime af

[@zeldachaos]

just watching you casually drop the master sword nearly gave me whip lash it was so shocking. I love these videos and i love learning new things each time.

[@jazzy_burrito]

What surprises me the most is that they aren't all just glitch exploits or anything like that at this point. There are still legitimate secrets in this game, like blocking guardian shots and reflecting octoroks shots with an electric forcefield.(Like, who would of thought of these!?)

[@lanegaming31]

Thank you very much for the years of information digging y'all have done! Cannot wait for the continuation of this into the next iteration of Zelda!

[@henryonyskiw]

This series will never end.

[@USMCbrantley]

When the presenter said I dont know they keep finding new things my mind said cause this game is beyond a masterpiece. Edit: What's crazy is that Breath of the Wild is actually a Wii U game, making Tears of the Kingdom an actual Switch game.

[@rifatbobos]

Well isn't this a pleasant surprise, thanks for continuing this series! That sideways npcs legit scared me because they might notice it and release a patch that will also shuts down powerful glitches like menu overloading, but thankfully Nintendo has basically abandoned this game. The price of having npcs like that is nothing compared to the abundance of glitches lol

[@zakariyataqi1264]

Also, the amount of stuff being found even now just goes to show how high the expectations for tears if the kingdom is.

[@anmolagrawal5358]

6:27 There are JUST 400 NPCs?? Honestly, I thought it would be upwards of a 1000 or something. But makes sense as most of Hyrule is unpopulated save for the core establishments / stables and such.

[@angelo8606]

I don't know where they got that number, I thought there were around 250 NPCs.

[@rosesweetcharlotte]

I'm surprised there are even that many, TBH

[@Mari_Izu]

Yeah, it's a bit more than 400 NPCs.

[@dariobattistini1489]

I'm already sure this video will make my day

[@richardmahn7589]

You canNOT end this series when TotK comes out! There is still 5 more years for this game! Seriously. I bet TotK will also reveal things we missed in BotW and players of this original game would love to know.

[@Painted_Owl]

Between the enjoyment I experience from these videos, along with their consistent (monthly) uploads, I actually find myself subconsciously thinking about them around the general time they release. I’ve been hovering the channel the past couple of days hoping the next MFYDK BotW upload. I’m a bit sad that the series is soon coming to its end with the release of TotK, but cheers to the next 3-5 years from now when you can start making vids like this for TotK.

[@MagnaP]

the sequel is about to come out and this series is still on going, amazing

[@Echo-6699]

6:54 i got freaking spooked when the master sword lit up in the bokoblin’s hand. Is this how the monsters feel when they see Link?😂

Oh man. That korok thing happened to me not too long ago. I did a wind bomb from hebra tower and I was so confused. Thanks for solving that mystery!

[@famstorspov6676]

THANK YOU! I've been waiting for this episode soooo long!

[@perriwinkleiii5361]

The fact you can cut down those lookout towers is so mindblowing, but also makes perfect sense. I assume, by extension, since they're just trees, that bombs work as well. I'm always going to do that now

[@Kethra430]

A comforting series

[@thebard20]

Sometimes these videos make me think I didn't play this game properly at all but really it's just so incredibly massive and detailed that there's a million different approaches

Really excited, got the collector's edition on pre-order! This is one of my favourite series on KZbin and is really helpful in-game as well.

This series will keep going until the sequel releases and even then I’m not confident we’ll run out of things to discover.

I played BOTW for roughly 5 hours today on my 3rd play through and some of these were brand new to me. I hope this never ends

[@superlemmyguy3678]

Seeing the scrapped moblin horn ingame was really cool, and I hope there’s an episode of this series dedicated to more unused findings in botw.

[@buttonasas]

I like gameplay-related things the most. Stuff I could've found out myself but definitely didn't. Development process curiosities are also really cool like the internal names for areas and their origins and the moblin horn actually being present in everyone's game.

Don’t know if you’ve covered it yet, but you can get bullet time while on links dirt bike when the bike gets air. The little bike hop isn’t enough, you have to hit a ramp. You’re still sitting in the bike, and Link will even sit on the bike backwards if you aim far enough behind him.

6 years later and you guys are STILL finding new stuff. Unbeatable game design, even when compared to stuff like Elden Ring!

[@user-be3qc7re9o]

I mean, Elden Ring is pretty much an extension/improvement upon the already established Soulsbourne Formula. Breath of the Wild had to basically start over from scratch with a brand new foundation for Zelda as a franchise.

[@PigDaddy2020]

Have to disagree here. To me, Elden Ring was what I wished BOTW could have been, had ER also included certain Zelda elements in its design. Think ER having the interactive world design & dynamic physics engine of BOTW (which were by far the most impressive attributes of the game to me), along with legacy dungeons that also had Zelda style puzzle design within them. Imagine BOTW having the enemy & boss variety of ER. Finally imagine receiving actual good rewards for exploration like completely unique weapons, armor sets, spells, summons, etc..., instead of just always finding arrows, rupees & similar weapons in the majority of chests! I mean c'mon - at least in previous Zelda titles, you could find heart container pieces, magic spells, skulltulas, magic beans, bottles and more, which were all more satisfying than any reward BOTW has, (again, IMO). Of course, my ideal Zelda Ring fusion game wouldn't have the punishing difficulty focus of Soulsborne titles, nor require being so obscure with story, but I would still like to see Zelda games be a little more difficult throughout the entire adventure, unlike BOTW starting out pretty difficult & ending up being a total cakewalk once Link had upgraded himself to a certain point. Just my personal opinion to suit my own tastes, of course, & to each their own!

[@c0smo70]

@@PigDaddy2020 I totally agree with you! Elden Ring is (in my opinion) much better than BotW on a general level, but I think the two things that BotW does better is game design (especially sound) and mechanics. I hope TotK does some of the things you said and increases the difficulty. Having an actually good megasize boss in Zelda would be great. If Nintendo were smart and took notes we’re gonna see better bosses and enemy variety in TotK.
