21 MORE Things You STILL Didn't Know In The Zelda Series

[@RinHara5aki]

How do you like this format? We still look into Tears of the Kingdom of course, but also look back at Breath of the Wild, and look forward to new upcoming games like Echoes of Wisdom and beyond!

[@bernata5494]

Love it!

[@liamlockheartart7560]

I havent gotten to play EoW yet so Im not a fan of this format psrsonally. I clicked on this thinking it was ToTK cus of the thumbnail and wasn't able to close the video before the EoW part.

[@Matzeking-x6z]

Love it

[@icetea3595]

I’m really liking this new format, keep up the good work!

[@MrZenobi]

i like it and i hope it makes the videos come out faster when u can include secrets from three games

[@MrMikander]

That final one was cool and educational. I had no idea about that scale. Nice touch Nintendo!

[@Dogger-o5z]

I swear this guy's still gonna be making vids on botw ten years from now

[@Matzeking-x6z]

but its goated

[@user-gavinh]

the vids don’t get repetitive ever tho which makes them so much more valuable

[@Chubby_Bub]

I'm glad my research could be of help with this video! Here's a fun bonus fact: One of Notts's dialogues also calls her singing "Return of the Bird-Wrangling Hero, Prelude in E-sharp Minor". This is a joke introduced by the localization team, but anyone with knowledge of music will know this is ridiculous since E-sharp is just F. But you theoretically could write it in E-sharp Minor… a key signature with eight sharps (F is double-sharped). I did try to transcribe the in-game song at one point and I think it even uses a quarter tone… Zelda composers at it again.

[@Kurea47]

_Yeah! E-minor! Alright! Yeah!!_ But seriously, thanks for that bit of music trivia. Wait -- is that the joke the Spongebob writers were trying to make? I finally get it now! lol

[@SomeGalNamedEve]

8:56 "How very :3 of you" was not something I was expecting to hear in this video, but I am all here for it

[@Sky_The_Fluffy_Dragon]

[@julianoallard8398]

The humourous naming system of the NPCs just really adds to the "human" element in games dev and it's really nice when these are pointed out! Also, Yona with a sword would have been sick, contrasting with her reserved personality

[@Kobob_KC]

0:58 The official soundtrack for BotW that released in Japan in 2018 actually included a list of all the music references to previous games (although they forgot at least 2 that I know of), so this has been known since then at least.

[@Chubby_Bub]

Yeah, I hadn’t seen it mentioned anywhere else but it definitely was on there. What 2 are you thinking of?

[@Kobob_KC]

Zelda's Theme in Daruk, the Stalwart, and Dragon Roost Island in Tarrey Town

[@jaredr1621]

The theme Kotts is singing is the first few notes of the Helmarok King fight from Wind Waker

[@donniderdonnerfluch2840]

Nintendo: we‘ll give you a Game, where Zelda is the main character Zelda community: *finds a way to play link*

[@FieryRed_BE]

Fun fact: the zora architecture in eow is based on the totk zora sky ruins. Been pointing that out since june but nobody mentions it

[@mkjjoe]

What parts?

[@davii_ms]

1:38 Actually Link got stronger and now he can throw the bones right back in the eye. Whatever he was doing between the games is showing results!

[@michmill7007]

Fun fact: the Mogmas in Skyward Sword also have mineral names: Guld for gold, Ledd for lead, Kobal for cobalt, and so on.

[@chavezchavez3408]

The more Zelda facts the better

[@Cranbearry_YouTube]

This episode was REALLY interesting! I like how it shared more interesting tidbits rather than game mechanics. Also, I don’t see the big deal everyone keeps making about the Lynel. All I did was spawn a Ball & Chain Trooper, & respawn it right in front of the Lynel whenever the Trooper died. It took literally 10 seconds 🤣

[@Lobowskee]

Link getting sturdy with it during the intro!!!

[@Idkwqsted]

Wow they really thought of Tears of the Kingdom with everything that does into it even the names have meaning. Keep up the great videos.

[@Mikayeelthetopg]

theyrefinally baaaack!!!!!!!!

[@Wildicon19]

I love this format. It covers the franchise we all know and love! Thanks Max!

[@tobiasbjrnsauerpanyella5075]

4:51 Those eyes were also in previous Zelda games, for example, in Ocarina Of Time. In those games you would be able to shoot them to open a door.

[@RobinLSL]

Hi fu mi yo etc are also ways of counting 1 2 3 4 etc! Which matches perfectly of course since in music theory the tonic (do, hi) is also called 1, and so on.

[@0RawWasHere0]

I would prefer not mixed but one game after one another :) i have not played new zelda and want to avoid spoilers of any level, whereas totk and botw are played and passed and totk is the reason i watch these vids

[@ninjaeddy1717]

Love this new format. Lots of trivia to mine out of the entire Zelda franchise.

[@davii_ms]

FINALLY finally! I have been waiting for ages pls make more of these!!

[@triggernichols]

please dont stop making these I live for them

[@lijmoo]

I can't wait to be 118 years old and still watch new videos in these recent Zelda games

[@hughcarlin3893]

Fun fact: you can use melee weopons on Sidon in BOTW when doing the vah Ruta quest

[@L337M4573RK]

For #17, the giant rock is a neat trick, but why not let the Lynel take itself out? There are 2 singing frogs in the game: one that causes rain, and one that just alerts other enemies to your presence. Use the latter to draw the Lynel out of the forest, and over to the nearby stream/river. Then jump into the stream/river when the Lynel targets you, and the Lynel should try to follow, except...it drowns instead. The Lynel echo is now yours.

[@Maheli_Seli]

Sounds like a tedious process

[@L337M4573RK]

@Maheli_Seli Faster than dragging a large rock across a quarter of the map, then dragging it all around the forest (following the tracks), and finally positioning it in front of you in order to get it over the Lynel's body. The frog method only requires the frog echo, and using it to easily lure the Lynel down and out of the forest, and into the nearby river/stream.

[@Maheli_Seli]

@@L337M4573RK i used the shadow guard lvl.3 which 3 shots the lynel 😂 Dont know why there is even such a big deal with the lynel

[@L337M4573RK]

@Maheli_Seli The point is trying to get the Lynel as early as possible (mainly for bragging rights). I used that lvl 3 echo during my first playthrough. By getting the Lynel earlier, it allows you to use it as soon as Tri has enough power to do so.

[@Maheli_Seli]

@@L337M4573RK the point is the lynel costs 6 tris (5 tris when tri reaches max lvl) So whats the point of getting it before you can summon it ? By the time you can actually summon it you should have very decent echoes.

[@shadowraith10]

Never forgiving Nintendo for potentially giving us a scene where Yona helps Link and Sidon fight... I LOVE power couples in media and it would be everything for me.

[@ethanparr8955]

Idk if you've already covered this but I just saw something for the first time, when I was playing I saw a Stalnox bury itself when it turned day, it has a full unique animation and everything and I've literally never seen that happen before!

[@kingbaba1309]

Love that you expand this series to more zelda games, but kind of sad that TOTK didn't turn out to have as much interesting stuff than BOTW

[@CopShowGuy]

I appreciate any "did you know?" format for Zelda games! All super interesting stuff!

[@SawyerJamesBurton]

I KNEW their was a music fact with the names!!! I thought I was going crazy!!!!! Thank you for thr vindication!

[@ImusNoxa]

That fact about Yona is the best part! That's so cool!

[@renleung]

The last one is my favourite reference/analysis !

[@blaze4281]

Awesome work and ideas glad to see some of the original series returning back from multiple games, even after 7 long years always happy to return to this series lol

[@andrewgwilliam4831]

That invisible horse is brilliant! 🤣

[@allnglnntsnmla]

Nice episode. I thought you would tell us about something we wouldn't know if we don't crouch 700 times, pause the game, push ourselves in a corner, do some rain dance, sacrifice some the nails, pet some lizard and, lastly, resume the game for that something to show up.

[@KingCreeper562]

Something I learned that you may have covered already, but Aerocudas can actually walk around.

[@fourthwallbreak]

Nice deep dive Gamespot. Keep it up!

[@jackginney6795]

Breath of the Wild is the best game of all time imo

[@ZACKY1Z]

best game to discover, best first playthrough ever, best exploration, best replayability in terms of glitches and personal challenges, etc. game lacks combat if you dont glitch it but yeah it really is a masterpiece

[@novaduck_iv]

Hope this series never ends

[@denischen8196]

Not only is she named after Minerva, Mineru's construct is also the best way to mine ore deposits and Zonaite since it costs no durability and can break multiple deposits in one swing.

[@dc8rdecoded]

7:53 “I threw a rock at him!” … “It was a big rock.”

[@oliverfriedrich8656]

Great to see you guys continue + like the new format!

[@pedrovictorsilvaladeira7877]

I don't know what's more incredible: Nintendo hiding little secrets in Zelda games that most people would never know or this guy hunting all those secrets.

[@Sky_The_Fluffy_Dragon]

THE RETURN OF THE KING LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WE LOVE YOU RIN

[@TheRealBOBlibob]

This new format is great

[@Inkott21]

Purah pad is apple product confirmed

[@cadensherman1983]

Wonderful video! For future reference, Epee is pronounced eh (like the e sound in Fred) -pay, not Eepy. Unless that was intentional bait, in which case consider myself hooked.

[@MalachiLau-yb5we]

So much more botw that I didn’t know yet!

[@antoniomarbez3967]

4:20 never thought of Link as an iOS (or iPadOS) fanboy. Well... he's in a "walled garden" anyways... and the Sheikas are an advanced civilization... so, there you go! Apple for the win vs. Ganon... and Dorf....

[@user-bl6oj1hl8i]

Something else we don't know in the Zelda series? Where did all the shrines and divine beasts go. Why have the Gerudo regressed from where they were in OoT? How did Nintendo pull the Zonai, yet another magitechnology society like the sheikah, out of their asses with no prior mention or lore in BOTW? Some questions are doomed to remain unanswered...

[@Matto1o1]

i fully thought HIFUMI I MU HI was gonna be the chill guy song 😂😂

[@Dnightshade100]

Learning about that Japanese music scale,it makes me wonder how that song “Do-Re-Mi” from the sound of music would have sounded in Japanese.

[@UncleLarrrry]

It's always a good day when one of these comes out.

[@ashergreenberg3467]

You can play this Japanese scale on piano by just hitting the black keys. This scale is called pentatonic and has a minor form too. 9:42

[@nathanmielke1977]

Awesome research on this video. Very cool

[@Interestking]

It went from 1 to 4 to 3, lol. Still, I'm enjoying the video so far.

[@lilacocto9103]

I find it funny that we have to glitch Echoes of Wisdom to play AS Link.

[@PilaCiu]

7:32 That's a Xenoblade X Skell

[@zimoluo]

Hestu is called ボックリン (bokkurin), possibly rearranged from クリボー (kuribō), the Japanese name of Goomba.

[@hanyk06]

I’d prefer one game per video . Didn’t watch the video because I haven’t played echos of wisdom yet . Amazing series tho

[@carlborneke8641]

3:05 The Rito characters are named after Grilled Chicken? 🍗 That’s dark.

[@adamdavenport_2002]

Anthony can be parried by a bokoblin huh

[@C41N4]

I missed this series!

[@TheSaksutin]

9:41 that's known as the pentatonic scale in western music theory!

[@tabbitee]

Man, I wish we called it the Yonanuki scale. The full technical name is the 'anhemitonic pentatonic' scale, which isn't nearly as......lyrical >:)

[@jacomorogers]

I've been waiting so long for another one ha

[@Tsunamicoco]

Did you know that almost at the top of hyrule castles highest spire there is a dusk bow in a ruined alcove?

[@erickreyes7902]

If BOTW has another DLC in 2024... ELDEN RING DLC is going to have a HARD TIME...

[@otoshi1010]

Naming characters like Toriyama sensei.

[@fireysimp_2763]

is the fact: "you can get double rainbows" already done?

[@RosalindaBitco-lh4en]

I didn't know Yona even had a theme song

[@jarrettjardine5922]

I LOVE THIS SERIES

[@Wildicon19]

It goes to show how detailed and precise the Japanese are in their creations!

[@Lamz.Z1]

Seems TOTK has given all it has to offer, now this series had to expand beyond it. Even Nintendo has urged us to move on with a new game.

[@AbelMacheme]

9:46 Sheik theme. Anyone.

[@mebbar1999]

I hear it

[@M4x4t0n]

I love these videos! Mooore!

[@nathe0923]

i like it. but i need to be careful. haven't played echoes of wisdom yet

[@Javierokaloca]

I will like you to separate the tears of the kingdom, botw and echos of wisdom, for the people that haven’t play the game

[@IsaacMelting]

Love this series

[@caetanoventura9578]

Oh so yona name is based on the pentatonic scale! But like in japanese. Thats good to know

[@bobyisboblirn8856]

Was yonas theme just... the pentatonic scale then?

[@TheUnkGamer]

Thanks for the education on Japanese notes!

[@meerkatmatrix]

Very much like the game mixing

[@WhatIsAHandle-dr1]

Bro went counted 1,4,3,2

[@trombonedavid1]

8:44 just so you know, epee is pronounced eh-pay

[@rsnbrgjrdn]

7:25 anyone know how to do this glitch?

[@ryukishi8492]

Please stop adding glitches to these, that's not hidden secrets

[@michaelgarner4423]

Anyone who say theses games are basic and don’t understand why theses games are so goated? Watch theses videos Btw TOTK is not dlc, they may have a lot of similar things BOTW but its very different from it It’s too big in scale to be considered a DLC More so then SOTET

[@prognosticii]

Can you put in the link to the Japanese name sheet?

[@Chubby_Bub]

It was added now. :)

[@ripvanstinkle]

Loved it

[@gregorykengstrasser3268]

Looks like you accidentally flipped facts 2 and 4

[@saraross8396]

Eepy? Seriously? Épée is pronounced "ep-pay".

[@Daxterbeer]

I prefer the previous style per game. BOTW and TOTK can be blended and EOW can get its own series.

[@charlesjoseph9591]

First not bot here I’m a real person not a bot

[@MrPopo-kn3lx]

That's exactly what a bot would say

[@SkyRocketeerLands]

Number 14 doesn't work anymore :(

[@LysLilyRose]

Barely watchable if you do not want to get spoiled. Did you finally ran out of things to say about totk? That was quick

[@lotus647-official]

Hot take: Breath of the Wild is better than Tears of the Kingdom I'm glad that people are still making BotW content. _-cough cough-_- my channel -_-cough cough-_

[@acidxero]

Loved the video, format is great - but generally don't care about the naming conventions. At all. Otherwise fantastic!

[@Matzeking-x6z]

finally a new goated video
