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

We're not slowing down anytime soon! This time we take a look at new ways to detonate bomb arrows, how to smuggle wildlife into the Gerudo Desert, and the hidden meaning behind the Yiga Assassin's cursed letters!
In the video above, we cover 20 facts, tips and tricks that aren’t quite as well known, ranging from secrets to glitches, some that are pretty simple and others that are fairly complex. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been out for four 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.

[@ianjohn5404]

This is the rpg for people who like “hack-style” mechanics you can discover and Easter eggs rather than a good story, skill tree and combat progression. I think that’s why this game never clicked with me like a fallout or Skyrim did…idk. But I’m glad people really like it all these years later😊👌🏾

[@calebbilti538]

Sound design of the train blew my mind. When you unintentionally make train sounds through other sounds, the game starts to take in this organic feel as if it knows what its doing.

[@goonerOZZ]

I don't think it's unintentional, in a way that the sound is the sound of ONE cart moving through the rail that is repeated as the next cart is moving through the same part of the rail. The sound of real train also just that, the sound of a sequence of carts moving through the rail. What is surprising is how good is the sound processing is that it can process that many cart in SEQUENCE and not just the sound of one cart being on top of each other.

[@jamaljarvison]

[@yashvasinraj482]

Fun fact: you can get all the Zora weapons at Zora’s domain. Zora spear and silver bow are in the water under the domain, sword and shield on the west bridge, silverscale spear under the steps leading to the king (in the water) and silver longsword behind the shrine.

[@korreollonborre]

It makes quite little sense if they didn't though

[@pendragongameart]

Other regions actually spread there’s out a bit more. Zora’s domain is intended to be the first area with a divine beast, so the weapons being closer together makes sense

[@BlackEthe]

@@pendragongameart TBF Goron and Rito don´t have that many gear pieces (barely a couple of "H and bows, respectively). Gerudos probably do, but the town doesn´t have that many collectables. Zora domain is more like a town perched over an explorable lake.

[@DeathnoteBB]

@@pendragongameart Really? I always prefer Gerudo first. So many NPCs mention how dangerous the Zora’s Domain is and the path to Gerudo is right there

Do you know about how Guardian Scouts recognize and react to remote bombs? Tweeted this @ IGN but they will move to a safe distance and detonate them with their lasers, even if they have to look away from Link to do so. This can be used to buy extra time during battle

[@leahcim6941]

while i like mipha's current design, i think the lion fish design is super cute and really would've fit her. she still could've had her healing abilities and caring nature but sometimes she accidentally pricked people with her spines and immediately apologized and healed them up, she could've been shy to get close to others in fear of hurting them, and maybe had a more aggressive protective side in battle

[@ryancurrier6845]

The fact this game is over 90 years old and folks still comment on the age of the game and how new things are still being discovered is astonishing!

Been watching this series since its inception. I love Max’s personality-he’s easygoing & nice to listen to. His humor always elevates the video for me. I know eventually you’ll run out of details to share about BOTW-hopefully by then, the sequel will be out! Maybe Max could cover easter eggs & fun tidbits from AOC if there’s a shortage of BOTW details. Would love to hear more about combat glitches. I only know a few myself, but for some reason, I love watching Max explain them in-depth. It’s just very entertaining. And maybe somewhere in my brain, there’s a synapse firing off at the sight of a Lynel getting gut-punched by 100 spears at once. Thanks for all you do!

My favorite part was when you mentioned shooting Guardians on the top of their heads. I found that out a few weeks ago, now I save from a high ledge, torment them, reload the save and make them fly some more. I found it out when the Eldin Guardian fell to where the other one was. Ice arrow, but it did well.
