5 BIZARRE Locations in Zelda Breath of the Wild! (ft. Zeltik)

[@lofeyy_6426]

Ok , but Did anybody else tried to go to an island in the central hyrule i think , it had trees similar to the ones you see entering gerudos desert (large ones but short ) but the game won’t let you got there? I totally forgot the exact location and I don’t know if there’s a name for it

Practically all of LoZ games have this, it's just people don't realize it cuz of the game's light atmosphere and think nothing of the eerier stuff (like Redeads or Dead Hand in OOT).

[@DartzSoryu]

I know!! Those huge flowers are found on these two particular places, and the conection between them is that somehow both are related to death in their own ways.

and yet Nintendo went out of its way to populate the underwater animal and plant life most notably seen when you clip under the dock at Lurelin Village (Outset Island)... so we can't fully be sure that the bottomless pit wasn't intended to not be bottomless and that it might have been the Yiga Tribe's attempt to dig down into whatever cave system that Mummified Ganondorf is tucked away in. as we know that Breath of the Wild 2 started out as the countless ideas that Nintendo had concocted for DLC and snowballed to the point of being enough to amass an entire another game.

The Sanidin Park Ruins...it wasn’t damaged during the Great Calamity... yet it’s labeled “ruins” and the fountains are still operational after 100 years. If some Hylians kept them working, you would think they would know how to build more or repair them? Also The Great Plateau... the enteance is caved in from the outside and the inside entrance is flooded... How did this happen? From Creating a Champion it mentions it might have been purposely done to stop the Guardians... Also the three small temples around the Temple of Time each have a symbol of one of the three Goddesses on the floor. Could these have been small temples to worship those Goddesses? I could go on and on... But there’s so much about this game we don’t know!

Regarding the underground shot from the botw sequel trailer, no this isnt about the zonai so put your torches and pitchforks down. I've been playing skyward sword for a while now, and made it to the Lanayru desert. And theres this time stone thingy around the mines that can reverse time in the area surrounding the stone. And ive noticed that the shape of the time stone thingy resembles the shape of the "luminous stones" We saw on the trailer. So, what if they didnt travel to the past, what if when they were researching that underground area they accidentally found the stone and hit them. And suddenly they reversed the time surrounding them, maybe thats why we can see ganon. Maybe they were transported to the time when ganon first resurrected. Idk tho, its just a thought

[@cutepengin8617]

I have a theory about the tapestry in the first game, as you know some people connect the hero to Ganondorf due to the red hair. Maybe the hero is in fact, Ganondorf ,and Zelda and Link were unable to defeat the calamity without the raw power of Ganondorf. If BOTW2 Ganondorf is the same one as you see in Twilight Princess maybe Link had sealed away Ganondorf around that time with the help of the Zonai tribe and through this process his evil began to leak out in the form of malice creating the beast that is, Calamity Ganon. They then, later on in the timeline, released Ganondorf to seal away the Calamity using the full power of the Triforce, this would stop the need for the Divine Beasts and use something else underground to defeat the Great Calamity thus making the fortune tellers prophecy ring true and fix the red hair of the hero in the tapestry. Ganondorf was then resealed under Hyrule Castle while leftover malice began leaking back into him as it was removed creating another Calamity (The one we fight in BOTW which is much weaker due to the leaking back in) and making Ganondorf evil once again. Calamity Ganon takes over the Sheika technology, defeats Hyrule, and the first game happens. Zelda and Link go adventuring to Ganondorf’s chamber where Link gains the power to restore the Master Sword with the Zonai’s magic and defeats Ganondorf until the next reincarnation.

[@dr.trousers6101]

Restore the Master Sword???

[@koansinor3867]

Ganondorf is a mortal resurrection of Demise, caused by the curse he makes before he dies, so I doubt he would help defeat another reincarnation of Demise, which could have only appeared once he was dead, unless Ganondorf was Calamity Ganon.

I hope the sequel has a time-stone mechanic similar to that of Skyward Sword (maybe something that requires you to go underground to activate), so we can see these locations at different time periods. It'd be an easier way to re-purpose the map and add a ton of.... depth to the story.

[@123foxys]

Now that I've played a bit of totk I now know that the pit leads to the underground

[@ShadowSkyX]

When you notice Demise's pass and lanaryu promenade are very similar in shape when highlighted. That they are almost a straight shot from each other _across the map_ (more west-northwest but I digress). I believe north Akala could've been the original point, as it's rock formations feel larger and go much deeper. In an interview I believe they said that skull lake was originally going to be a lake of filled with malice, but figured the world was already dangerous enough and put in regular water instead. But being so close, this earthquake - as per sa in link between worlds - forced cracks that connects the two worlds to appear all around hyrule. If the focal point for the earthquake truly started anywhere near death mountain, the leviathon living at the time could've been caught in the volcano's eruption due to upheaval and subsequent shockwaves of the legions breaking through from the other side. On Demise's sword is an upside triforce and while this comes off as defecting and scorning the goddess, Lorule too had this upside version: their triforce is _inherently upside down._ not out of spite or rejection but in what the world is in relation to hyrule, the opposing mirror image _connected through cracks throughout the land between both worlds._ The chances of demise being from Lorule are actually fairly high based on this.

[@Cretaal]

On the subject of "spiders nest mountain", I have a personal theory there. I think we see evidence of the spiders behavior in the lizal enemies with their extremely rapid and skittering movement, as well as their spit attack. These are more on par for fantasy world spiders that can swarm your flank and spit venom or some kind of web matter at you, and we did see that there was a much darker theme in the works. Could have been that the spider enemy got scrapped and replaced with the lizal enemy instead, since it's an enemy we're not quite used to seeing in the zelda universe and they don't seem to appear in the lore of previous iterations as far as I know. Could have been that getting immediately swarmed by 4 giant spiders proved to be too much of a shocker and they had to tone down the creep factor (also why we don't see those more messed up moblin type enemies or the floating skull man-o-war things that you see in the concept art). You have to admit, lizal spit looks really "webby" for being some kind of water gun sort of attack. Can you imagine rapidly moving skulltula on the ground? Yeesh, makes my skin crawl a bit with those spindly legs.

I love it when Zelda KZbinrs collaborate! The details in this game's overworld is mindblowing. This game does a great job at giving you a sense of history wherever you go; moreso than any other game in the series. Whatever the game lacks in terms of story presented at face value, it more than makes up for in the details of the world. In my opinion, that's where the real meat of the story lies. I think it's amazing that Nintendo created so many locations with unsolved mysteries attached to them; it makes the world seem more real, as we have many unsolved mysteries attached to locations in the real world as well. I know Red Dead Redemption 2 gets a lot of (well-deserved) praise for the details in its game world, but this game also deserves much of that attention. Breath of the Wild not only came out before Red Dead 2, it also contained details exclusive to its completely fictional lore; that is to say that Red Dead 2 drew much more inspiration from the real world than from the imaginations of the developers themselves.

To me the most mysterious place in Breath of the Wild Hyrule is the Shadow Hamlet Ruins. The first time I stumbled upon it, my reaction was : "Wait. People used to live in this isolated place? Who were they? What invited them here?"

[@crimsonblack9774]

I just love how all these pop up right after another in notifications zelda back to back its amazing

EWWWWWW THE GERUDO TOWER sorry I just did that one without revali's gale and low stamina

Oof

[@YiYi-lo5jg]

Nice...

[@Edgeperor]

Sounds like you did Naboris before Medoh, and in that case, you’re insane

[@CornerOfMelvin]

i attempted naboris and then realized that the yiga clan sucked so then left for rito village

[@okey3093]

Edgeperor I did naboris first, wasn’t too bad

[@dothedo3667]

I might be thinking of the wrong place, it's been a while since I've played, but isn't the hole left in Hebra all smooth ice you can't climb? Not a big deal but I think it could've been mentioned during the giant laser blast part of the video, it just adds to that answer

[@Ben-pz7wo]

I’m finally playing this game on my own system for the first time- I’ve played before but only for an hour and wasn’t paying attention to the story. I’m so late but I’m honestly glad. This game is amazing for quarantine. And I’m just glad I get to play this beauty at all :) I hope everyone’s 2021 will be better than last year ❤️good luck

[@fLueF829]

6:39 he fast boi

[@crispyhottakes]

I have a theory that the reason why the bottomless pit exists in the Yiga Clan hideout is because the Yiga Clan wanted to keep it away from the hero. The Yiga didn’t want Link discovering the shrine, so they built their base around it to keep him away.

[@stephaniemaxx3260]

No one gonna talk about the LEGENDARY outro tho?

[@hooddaddy7124]

the first one with the stump, i STILL have that great flame blade from the very start of the game. Back when i first started i didn't know how valuable that type of weapon was so i figured just dont use it, dont let it break. Now i still have it in Links house almost 3 years later 👌 i know now its not the best, but its the memory for me

[@Stinkyremy]

15:20 "shadow of a snowball" Pretty sure I used cryonis in the pool to cast a shadow at the specific time, not a snowball!

[@alimtimm7355]

What about that cave in the hebra mountains with like 12 rusty shields? Like a group of people just got into some sort of cult meeting and dropped their best defenses on the floor.

[@SplynterThassos]

5:39 Yeah, OBVIOUSLY a reference to Skyward Sword. I totally put that together. (argh, theorists think of everything)

[@nonoctoro4933]

Even so, the Japanese doesn't mention any breach, it's literally called the Valley of Demise. Demise's japanese name transaltes to The One/Bringer of Demise, "Demise" is not his name, he has no name but a title.

[@latentAlchemist]

Nah, you don't have to worry about Master Koga's corpse rotting or anything since the Yiga Clan members' bodies always disappear in a cloud of smoke upon death. I'm sure the only thing rotting in the bottom of that hole are the mighty bananas he undoubtedly dropped.

[@whatthewhatthe9117]

10:54 judging by Nintendo’s fascination with mythology, I’d say this is a reference to Thor’s journey to untgard loki and the square incisions into the mountain sides

[@erichammer173]

The ancient tree stump... If the forgotten temple is rumored to be the Sealed temple and the Goddess statue of Skyloft, Faron woods would be way too far to be accurate to BOTW map of Hyrule. Perhaps the ancient tree stump was the great tree from Skyward sword? Could that be a possibility? The forest around it probably got cut down to supply wood for villages and building materials.

[@feuerstern9594]

Tree: exists NBC and Zeltik: is this the level 1 entrance from zelda 1?

[@arcadium007]

I love these NBC and Zeltik videos, they're always so much fun

[@anitag3539]

Mt. Daphnes...........like like, the Hylian King? I mean yes, I think it is, it’s kinda obvious.

[@sufjams]

Love you and Zeltik collaborating. I just discovered you both and have binged almost everything. Zelda is the best video game franchise of all time, don't @ me

[@DrillToPierceTheHeavens]

There's a small grove located south of Satori mountain that contains a large tree surrounded by multiple types of mushrooms that shouldn't be growing there all at once. Plus some luminous ore.

[@randomtheorist251]

The Yiga Hideout pit is so large that Kohga's body would have burst on impact. At the bottom, there'll be a shrine pedestal, the metal ball, and some red paste.

[@happymask8042]

Wait... You can hold a snowball to cast the cold shadow? I've always used the cryo platform and waited for my shadow. Just goes to show you the level of creativity they allow through the physics of the game.

[@NintendoTransformer]

I used theorize that hole in the mountain could have been from one of those giant gorons (like the one in Majora’s Mask) taking a big bite out of it. But I guess the battle scar explanation does make more sense.

[@vapa117]

I like we all came back to comment about the Yiga Pit after TotK

[@adamrowan-lovell6051]

Great video. Makar island is definitely referencing Wind Waker and the guardian of the Wind in that game, Makar. If you climb the tree the wind blows in a certain direction and I think that is a tribute to the important NPC in Wind Waker. I think the tree is actually Makar

[@K-ro7lm]

Is the bone rock always in areas that were possibly influenced by demise? like maybe its some super deep subterranean rock pulled above the surface by everything opening up and spilling out, maybe its more like lava rock or something

[@XShadOBabeX]

“Also Kohga’s rotting corpse.” Me, from the future: 😏

[@veziusthethird]

cant believe it's been over 2 years this came out, coming up on its 3rd year.

[@tomahawwke]

while i can see you guys are slowly reaching the bottom of the barrel as far as botw content goes(not saying you are there yet but i would say if they delay botw 2 another year you might run out of easy stuff to cover) however you both manage to make even the simplest of things SO DAMN ENTERTAINING! you bring the most out of every video and make me genuinely enjoy watching so GG to that bois

The great tree stump could also be that massive tree you find in the woods of the Faron province in Skyward Sword.
