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

[@RinHara5aki]

We’re continuing on next year! What was your favorite thing you learned this time?

[@thelavaman]

First comment pog

[@jellosoup5]

Difficult to say which one I liked best, I like a lot of them!

[@guenny839]

Welp i actually didnt know a single one so thanks to you!

[@Commander-peepers]

The barral one is my favorite.

[@lydiadavies5854]

Head shotting chuchus in the eyes...

[@WynterStormYT]

I always thought the idea of the Master Sword rusting was odd, considering it's a divine weapon. It being covered in Malice makes way more sense. It would also explain why it's spotless when Link gets it again, since it would purify itself of the Malice.

[@Whofan06]

I figured if it was rusting it's because it's directly connected to Link and as his body is damaged so is the sword

[@WynterStormYT]

@@Whofan06 Interesting! I wonder if that would correspond with the concept art of it being scarred and partially broken. And considering what the memory at Fort Hateno shows, you might not be far off...

[@rubub8455]

i thought it was just dirt tbh

[@unclejoker9975]

I figured that it was blood that Link and Zelda were also covered in when you watch the cutscenes. Best way to keep younger rating was to make it look like dirt and bruises.

[@elijahthomas4231]

I thought that the stuff on it was mud they hadn't wiped off yet.

[@LuigiG145]

There is an alternate cutscene for the final memory. When Impah points to the framed photo of Fort Hateno as your clue, you can take a picture of it with the Sheikah slate. When you go to that memory spot and activate the cutscene, Link will pull out the Sheikah slate and view the photo like he would with the other pre-installed photos. On the other hand, if you figure out that the location is Fort Hateno and don't need to take a picture, the cutscene will play differently and shows Link just jogging his memory without looking at a picture (the same animation used when he remembers Mipha after her dad jogs his memory). I don't know how well this other one is known, but you can feed a horse apples straight out of your hands instead of dropping apples on the ground. Just hold them and walk up close enough to the horse.

[@badoink5470]

And if you're fast enough, pressing B to put back the apple while the horse trying to bite the apple will not reduce the amount of apple, but will still improve your horse friendship

[@theknight1573]

I did not know that about the alt 13th memory animation!! That is super cool

[@pixywings]

Yep I found that out. And i only feed horses apples right out of Link's hands. It feels more genuine and like Link is really bonding with the horse.

[@krysivory493]

I figured that scene on my first play. Since I got a goldfish memory. I just want to take a picture as a reminder.

Tip: Guardians are weak to water, like rivers. You'd expect an ancient race of people who have mysteriously powered machines would be able to water proof them, but I guess water sealing was reserved for Vah Ruto.

Something I just noticed about the Sword Room in the Master Trials: the Hebra Mountain picture in the room has no hole in it, meaning that the Sword Room was made before that hole was

[@ukemi-]

I think it’s explained that Vah Medoh was inside the mountain, and extracting it made the big hole

[@annalisebarrett7811]

You can also save a falling horse by warping away mid-fall. Then you just have the stable staff fetch the horse for you. I believe there is a minimum distance away you have to warp though, so warp to the opposite side of the map to be safe.

[@draconicboredom101]

There is something I'd like to add about #17. I don't know if anyone else noticed this as well, but the place where you fight Calamity Ganon underground actually has the same background as the Trial of the Sword dome. It's harder to notice while you're fighting for your life and all, but it's there.

[@Quinners08]

Awesome how these aren’t click bait and are actually cool and useful

[@vgnvideogameninja2930]

This is the only series I watch every time, and I always enjoy it.

[@Aderon]

The diorama around the area at the end of the Trial of the Sword is actually a re-used asset from the arena where you fight Calamity Ganon, which is referred to internally as the observatory.

[@arapucele00]

Guys! In the final room of trial of the sword, there is a hollow area in death mountain that is shaped like divine beast vah rudania! I'm so happy I found it because I wasn't satisfied since all other divine beasts are portrayed and mentioned, so I figured vah rudania must be in there too somewhere. I guess they portrayed it using the silhouette to make it easier to notice on the death mountain, or it's just another nice touch of creativity. I love this game so much, thank you to the creators and the community!

[@KimiTarii]

#14 it isnt a development mistake, theres steel in the stone, the stone just covers it. So when you shoot, the stone part gets removed

[@CoffinZ12]

You can’t be serious bro, there’s still more?!?!?! It’s been nearly 4 years and we’re still learning things about this game. Goes to show you how much of a masterpiece this game truly is.

The deeper you go into this series, the more likely I am to not know the things. In this video it was a full 19 things I didn't know!

[@powersight1892]

In that scene in the rain where Zelda mentions Link's father, Link isn't just practicing his sword fighting form. He's slicing through droplets of rain in half as they fall; you can see them splatter as he cuts through them in the scene. Pretty raw if you ask me.

[@gretahhounshell3061]

[@noahspeedz2295]

Fun Fact: In the final room of the trial of the sword, the same wall patterns can also be seen in the final boss fight in the underground area.

[@levirozema129]

5:46 How in the world did you do this?? I have never liked the slate on Links belt, I always have thought it ruins cool armor sets. I looked for tutorials on the internet, but I saw no way to explain the glitch.

[@enderking3057]

During the Maz Kosha fight, you can use the upgraded sheikah sensor to track the real Maz Kosha and tell him apart from the copies

[@MsTwirlyGirly1]

#9: Use an Octoballoon to move the slates and boulders instead of Stasis & whacking with a weapon OR Magnesis & a metal object. Slates and most boulders only need one Octoballoon; just attach it to the slate/boulder and it will float up and away. Boulders that are larger than Link is tall need two Octoballoons. If you see the message "You can't hold that here" when trying to take Octoballoons out of inventory, step away from the slate/boulder, take out the Octoballoon(s), then move close to the slate/boulder and attach the Octoballoon(s).

[@corruptedmp4file]

But that uses up octo balloons, and if you don't have a decent amount (e.g. 100-200), its much more cost efficient to use a metal weapon, shield or bow.

[@dsknight0922]

@@corruptedmp4file What's it used for then, if not for floating things? Are there any super cool upgrade which use octoballons?

[@corruptedmp4file]

@@dsknight0922 I believe the zora armour requires octo balloons to be upgraded, and besides, just because it is there, doesn't mean it has to have a use. This is a possible solution to move boulders, but not the best one. I honestly don't think octo balloons will feel left out just because we don't use them. Also, there are some glitches/challenges (such as arrow smuggling and stepless Eventide) which require octo balloons, so they are not useless.

[@unclejoker9975]

Just make sure to be clear when they pop.

[@MsTwirlyGirly1]

@@corruptedmp4file IDK where in Hyrule you're coming across that many slates and boulders you must move that you need "100 - 200" Octoballoons to make substituting them for stasis + whacking a viable alternative. The only boulder I've needed 2 Octoballoons to move is the large one blocking the entrance to the hidden weapon cache cave near Gerudo Tower. Link is able to squeeze past it to enter that cave; I just find it easier to get it out of the way.

[@zeromontalvan1514]

The finale trial of sword room, has the same walls of the place where we fight ganon

[@WynterStormYT]

I think Rin mentioned this in a previous video, but the room where you fight Ganon appears to be an observatory/map room, so it would make sense!

[@nate6742]

The fact that people are still making videos about this game is amazing

[@HarmonicWave]

Now it's 7 years old today and there are still new videos about it, even with the sequel out.

[@foldervtolvr]

1 more random fact: Thunderblight Ganon made me go through the 5 stages of grief. I started off saying he was cheating (denial), then I got angry at the game (anger), then I started negotiating with ganon (to no avail. bargaining), then I broke down into tears (depression) and finally I beat him by just accepting that this was going to be a hard fight (acceptance). This happened over the course of 1 and a half hours.

[@SBandy]

Breath of the Wild is like Resident Evil 4 to me. My expectations for both were ridiculously high but they both somehow managed to surpass them and they remain some of my favourite games of all time (RE4 will always be number 1 for me, it's perfect). Cannot wait for BotW2!

[@TheAlibabatree]

Literally my exact thoughts. Not to brag, but i can usually tell when a game is going to be amazing. I wasnt even into the Resident Evil series, but i had a subscription to Nintendo Power at the time, and every few months they would show screenshots and updates on the game, and i knew it was going to be mind blowing. Re4 and Botw are also my favorite games. And i agree, i would put Re4 slightly above due to replay ability.
