hi

[@sheppardfamily5534]

Great work chief!

[@Mizuraka4437]

No freaking way he posted this at the best time for this. Croton I'm happy to see it man ! Happy to early Thanksgiving!

[@TheTolnoc]

Inadvertently discovering that Wind Temple affects Tabantha animal spawns is a great detail.

[@TheTolnoc]

And forced Blood Moons? Amazing.

[@YouLousyKids]

You know what's cool? Ostrich meat in real life IS indeed a red meat (though it has to be cooked thoroughly like chicken)...and Nintendo got that right even though it confuses everyone!

[@Croton]

*Eldin ostrich has entered the room* so I guess they got it half right!

[@YouLousyKids]

@@Croton Ha!

[@YunQiu-yw3vk]

Cool

[@ChampionMahina]

That blood moon limitation is *so* interesting actually, and the fact that animals won't spawn during Tabantha's blizzard! The detail!

[@rosiedraws]

This was a blast to watch both live and edited, it was honestly kinda surprising how many unexpected roadblocks there were along the way.

[@Croton]

I had no way of predicting any of these, they really threw me off 😅 Thank you!! :D

[@renoirrr]

mhm for anyone that didn’t know the game makes a blood moon happen before entering any of the 4 regional phenomena areas. it probably is for the story reason monsieur crouton suggested, but i see it working gameplay-wise too as you’d have every enemy respawn by the time you’re supposed to start the questlines (for instance, getting to a couple of the temples wouldn’t be as fun or challenging if you accidentally wander in early and kill the enemies)

[@Croton]

@renoirrr The majority of enemies in the temple segments are constructs, which don't respawn with blood moons! Therefore I don't really think it was for gameplay reasons (plus most normal players will never make it to the dungeon areas pre first blood moon)

[@renoirrr]

@@Croton oh that’s fair! i didn’t pick up on that they don’t respawn with blood moons so that’s another new thing i learnt about the game. i kinda assumed they were the same as guardians in botw. other than that i think you can make it to the wind temple without needing tulin or starting the quest tho. its ofc a bit harder but maybe a player accidentally wandered in thinking it was just a higher level area. Again, i could be wrong. i havent done it without tulin myself so i cant really know but from what i’ve seen this seems to be possible.

[@borninaworldofstriveaganis8432]

​@@renoirrr I made it there without tulin. It is indeed hard.

[@caffienatedtactician]

It's really fun to think of Link, having saved Hyrule once again, actually taking time for himself and going on a (flying!!!) Motorcycle culinary tour of the land.

[@pianopickles_]

BOTW all meals before blood moon was actually the first video I watched on your channel and it feels awesome to see that you did it again!

[@Croton]

Time flies, it's been a year and a half since I did the original!! 🍳 Happy you enjoy these :)

[@caffienatedtactician]

Same here! For some reason I found the videos of people making everything really cozy, so I was watching a bunch one after the other.

[@abyss2873]

the Zelda-aware blood moon is really interesting. i wonder if seeing zelda with captain gaz (i think that's his name if i'm remembering right) after starting lookout landing would fulfill that built in requirement.

[@Croton]

This is another thing we tried in the run (VOD) but sadly didn't work :(( it's currently unknown if this limitation can be skipped at all

The thing I love the most about BoTW and TotK is they can make simple tasks like cooking feel so relaxing and fun like your on one of those channels where they go out into the wild and use what they find to cook.

[@andersonlynch8795]

The moblin missing a spear stab at point blank at 27:10 has me on the FLOOR

[@reivaxsuperyt]

the fact that he has Luncheon Kingdom music from SMO in the background is an amazing detail. I haven't watched all of this video, so idk if it's just the botw one, but there was Overcooked! music in the background, too. Nice detail!

[@gwennorthcutt421]

im so happy you did the sequel! my favorite thing about link is that they'll make these beautifully plated dishes but then will absolutely eat wild poultry raw. for that extra touch of salmonella! someone get this twink dewormed

[@Croton]

The cooked food is for display, it looks too amazing to eat 😶‍🌫️

[@gwennorthcutt421]

@@Croton there's an old saying about the cobbler's children going without shoes that feels apt here. actually the funniest part is that uncle nintendo wont let botw link drink alcohol but mm link got a permission slip to do so

[@HowlingGale]

The salmonella is necessary for that little extra bit of culinary genius

[@gwennorthcutt421]

@@HowlingGale you. you understand my vision. im so glad botw made everyone realize what a violent little weirdo link is. like in oot you can just. drink a ghost. who does that. (link does and will do it again too)

[@TheSonicFairy]

12:02 i had the same exact reaction, even walked right up to the recipe poster when i first saw this.

[@TheSonicFairy]

If you stay in the depths before 9:00 PM until then, it'll cancel the blood moon. If you stay there until midnight if you don't make it it'll cancel it out, like Yiga Hideout or Hyrule Castle in BotW

[@JMonique41]

Funnily enough, I think the gloom hands in Lindor's Brow cave are the only ones that won't despawn just by having Link stand on high ground

[@AudreyGalaxy]

the ones in the mazes won’t despawn either

[@-astraldove-]

UGH I know 😭😭i remember when the game first came out and everyone was recommending that you stay out of their reach so they despawn and it wasn’t working for me and I didn’t know why 💔

[@JMonique41]

@@-astraldove- I think the Lindor's Brow gloom hands was the first or second time we encountered them so we assumed they all just never went away unless you beat them. So cue our surprise when other gloom hands despawned when we climbed something and stayed out of reach. We were so confused at first lol.

[@Raina111111]

It's because they're the test for the shrine

[@ValunarTonix]

Might be personal experience bias but the only Gloom Hands that disappeared for me were the ones that wouldn't spawn a Phantom Ganon

[@silverarch0633]

I got a panic moon like that too on one playthrough when I got to Rito. Now I know it's a thing

[@brodibeal7189]

The Panic Blood Moon detail is very interesting. I'm wondering how it works in All Dungeons speedruns. Ideally you would be through maybe two temples before getting a blood moon, but this mechanic forces one, right? IIRC in BotW AD speedruns, they could infinitely postpone the bloodmoon because you're always in a Divine Beast or Castle when midnight hits

[@joshuasiebenhofer2452]

Ganondorf: what in Hylias name is he doing for so long? Link: i cooka the pizza!

[@masterlucarion]

Using the curry music from SwSh for the spice foods was *chef’s kiss*

[@Croton]

I'm happy you caught that 🍛 there was no better song for it

[@Novastarsss]

I love how you used some music from the orange oasis in omori because it’s all food themed

[@Croton]

I just played it for the first time prior to recording this video - incredible game!! Orange oasis is easily my favorite area in it

[@RyanDawson-qr6uf]

Yes the master chef with the spoon that seals the spices

[@JoelBrewton]

In BOTW, there was an in-game timer/mechanic which made it impossible for a blood moon to spawn until after you completed the Great Plateau. Do we know if the mechanic is still present in TOTK?

[@Croton]

It is true with the Great Sky Island!! The timer still ticks here, but if time is up while you are still on it, the bloodmoon will be delayed till you reach the surface!

[@jamesdaniel9033]

​@Croton the depths stop a blood moon from happening

[@averonisgaming9023]

​@@jamesdaniel9033but theres no challenge in that

[@jamesdaniel9033]

​ true but it's a mechanic I don't see used often I used it to clear out all enemies but the zonai type enemies due to those being on a respawn timer separate from blood moon

[@digitalproducer3500]

the way the luncheon kingdom theme played at the start fit perfectly

[@MeIsdum-le6sn]

I like how calm he is the entire video

[@Alizudo]

I've been imagining Equipment challenges where you can only use gear from a specific Zelda title. Like doing Ocarina of Time, where you can only use: Korok Swords (as it's like the Kokiri sword), sticks, Hylian Shield, basic Boko shields, (like the Deku shield), Master Sword, Hero of Time clothes, Sledgehammer (like the Magaton), Flamebreaker Armour (like the Goron tunic), Zora Armour, Boomerangs, a basic Wooden Bow (the one in Kakariko village behind the fletcher) or arrows, Fire arrows, Ice arrows, Light arrows, bombs, and the Biggoron Sword.

[@daemondoodles]

I can't believe I missed this!! I've been waiting for this one, your BotW version was the first video of yours I watched. It was a banger I still watch it all the time, it's one of my favorites

[@Petal316]

25:00 Actually, you cant kill yourself with gloom weapons, if you attack with one heart, it wont be gloomified, so you can use it to your heart's content! so its like the one hit obliterator, you do a ton of damage but die in one shot.

That's good to know, thank you!! Ngl I rarely ever use them, but I assumed it worked like actual gloom where it could kill you 😅

[@Petal316]

@@Croton not to mention as well, if you fuse a gloom weapon to a regular weapon, it also won’t take away gloom, letting you use the gloom weapons like normal weapons!

[@Croton]

That's how I typically use the gloom weapons actually, whenever I fight a phantom ganon I always fuse the weapon with my master sword to give it a nice boost!

[@TheOriginalJphyper]

I could not have done this challenge because I got a blood moon the very first night after leaving the island... and I left it just before sunset. 2:55 Oil jars actually can be found in the wild. There is an abandoned campsite somewhere in the Gerudo Desert with plenty of jars lying around.

[@sarahf5844]

The hat reveals were so fun!

[@Chris-gx1ei]

Doing such challenges are nowadays very easy, you can just spend the whole time in a chasm to avoid a blood moon. I think you should try a challenge where you go out and annihalate every monster without letting them respawn from a Blood Moon

[@Croton]

You could delay the moon in BotW too, with shrines and the castle! I just don't include any delays in my normal blood moon runs I did do a killing all enemies pre blood moon run in BotW though - looking forward to doing a TotK version soon!

[@christinabalfoort2126]

You know it’s a great game when there’s pizza in it

[@eroraf8637]

Is it considered cheating to skip the blood moon by being in a shrine or the depths at midnight? You can postpone the blood moon pretty much indefinitely that way.

[@Croton]

For these runs yes, because then there would be almost 0 challenge at all 😅

[@CozyGhost]

Fun fact! While it is very rare, there is always a chance that an ostritch will drop 2 raw whole birds (it even happened to me once!) Though, occasionally people state that they happened to get 3 birds out of one. Unfortunately however, I find very little evidence of that happening.

[@Croton]

It happened to me a few times too! 😄 Ostriches get 2 chances at dropping a raw whole bird, at a 20% chance each. Getting 3 is impossible with it's drop table though, it's likely people are just falsely remembering
