"He just spent an hour climbing up and down trees." Maybe Shiggy shouldn't have criticized his kid for going up and down that slope in Super Mario 64 then, huh?

[@SuperSaiyanMoses]

naw shigeru was just testing it. his kid was being stupid lol

[@pattyofurniture694]

Hahahaha I was thinking the same thing

[@malic_zarith]

I disagree, the kid was trying to do something that obviously wasn't doable through normal gameplay. I'm sure it's possible via glitches, but still.

[@AkiraSatou]

First thing I thought of when I heard it in the video.

[@brycestrife5605]

That is a spectacular point. He thought his kid might have a mental issue. He spent a whole damn hour! 20 minutes would have been a long time climbing up and down trees. But an hour?

[@manucuadras6019]

That whispered "The bike... The bike" always gets me 😂 Thanks for the video DYKG!!

[@mattmurphy8942]

I just wrote the same thing lol DYKG is dope

[@blammas]

Came here for this comment 😂😂😂

[@legacytag]

1:07 No way...That prototype actually had features that came back in Tears of the Kingdom that's insane! The skydiving looks just likes ToTK's!!!!!!!!

[@DMacB42]

the Rito theme can easily be heard without speeding that music up-- the Rito village theme is really more of a melancholic reinterpretation than a hidden easter egg. I absolutely adore it though

[@leionhardt783]

Love that Seth “the bald guy” Everman is in this. Such a talent.

[@thefirstguyjaek255]

I actually love falling asleep to these long vids. Sometimes I forget facts so I have no issues with rewatching them every once in awhile

[@Jifran]

Same thing I do most days

[@nattylite1337]

Me too!! There's something so calming about a steady stream of facts.

[@pitchsquek2600]

Agreed! The facts are also short enough that I don't get too invested or focused like I would with a movie

[@Whitetiger89]

the fact that all the melodies are hidden in others in breath of wild is just a beautiful thing, because its a musical throwback without it being obvious and it gave the creators so much freedom

[@leafymeadow9811]

I always enjoy being reminded that Seth Everman's still around, he's such a pleasant guy

[@GarceusLegend]

I like hearing stories of developers finding bugs but then deciding “eh, just leave it. It doesn’t hurt.” Seems like a good approach both to not add unnecessary work and to have like accidental Easter eggs for players. Keeping those Magnesis and Stasis tricks I think was a good choice

[@nthgth]

Totally agree. We can choose not to do the ridiculous things and play the game as intended, or we can choose to do ridiculous fun and funny stuff. It really feels like the development of BotW was firing on all cylinders the whole time, major props to that director.

[@pokettoboi]

Miss the truly magical feeling of being a kid starting up Ocarina of time for the first time.

[@benjaminprado6365]

I wish I could forget everything, and rediscover the world. Wondering what is the next big dungeon. Being excited when opening a big chest, to see a new item. So true.

[@JR28.]

I still feel that everytime I play the game or majoras mask

[@LucretziaOfficial]

dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuun dun dah dun

[@PNNYWZEPRODUCTIONS]

I couldn't agree more, brother.

[@OxyCoCet]

I miss trying to find songs not yet unlocked on the ocarina, and trying to figure out what they do :) great game

[@ThePine29]

Damn, that concept for the Retro developed Zelda at 36:45 is sick. Would've loved to see their take on the gameplay, if it got farther in development.

[@LoganKazuhira]

Never played OoT when I was a kid, but I finally played it a couple years ago and instantly fell in love with it. Something about it felt nostalgic, even though it was a new experience.

[@MortexBerri]

Its been fun for my first play through. I beat the first dungeon and am on the 2nd now. Very fun

[@pootisspencer4866]

I played it through properly on the 3ds the first time I remember always having it on the gamecube but never played it to "looking old"

[@chambliziOfficialChannel]

You better lil b**** long live Zelda franchise it's like the Simpsons can't be booted but better

[@scootinand]

"He just kept climbing trees" Absolute madlad, I love him

[@St_Paddy]

I really love the fact about the French localizer. Goes to show how important a firm grasp of a language is

[@Fabstron]

If I hear Seth Everman say "shake" instead of "Sheik" again, I'll implode.

[@DrunkMoblin]

It’s real bad

[@horrisnorris6478]

It makes sense that it would be pronounced the same as sheikh though. If you played ocarina of time when it first came out you had no way of knowing how it was supposed to be pronounced, and it makes more sense for it to be pronounced like sheikh rather than sheek

[@vejoshiraptor]

Been playing Zelda since I was little… one of my earliest memories is the babysitter showing me and my sister all the secrets!

[@mattm.6008]

My babysitter showed me other things

[@SageYT7709]

I'm just happy that a channel like this exists. Teaching the public about the history of the medium we cherish so much.

[@SlapadelicMusic]

I noticed some of the 'hidden' songs during my playthrough, the one I recognized almost immediately was the rito village theme and it caused an emotional reaction lol

[@Aurianna327]

And this is why i really love the videos that are put out: a lot of facts that can either be actively watched or listened to while doing other stuff! I always appreciate these, and thank you for these videos!

[@ThatDragonGamerGuy]

I absolutely loved the OoT Manga, it gave sooo much more story to that game. And a lot of feels.

[@nthgth]

I'd never heard of it till this video. I need that. I'll already never forget that tragic backstory about Volvagia.

[@cardboardmoon]

That whale guardian concept art is so sick. Amazing that my favorite handheld Zelda title (Oracle of Ages/Seasons) were headed up by the same person who directed BOTW and its sequel!!

[@edelstrhom6006]

Funny to see Ideas finally used to some extent in TOTK like the house construction

[@ablur5129]

Pbg is one of the reasons I'm such a huge Zelda fan today. So I always love to see him talk about the games

[@y_s4021]

"they bought the programmer an off-road bike so we'd have an intimate understanding how link should feel driving in all terrains". Mad respect to these peopel and this company. Crazy amounts of effort.

[@dialgagroudon]

The Zelda series is perhaps my favorite video game series ever, so having so many facts about it in one place is great!

[@NagiAlyxAlba]

Thanks for making this longer format videos, I basically use them as Podcasts when driving or working and it really helps that they are thematic!

[@starwarsspartan561]

Including the dropped Divine Beasts would be a great addition for the sequel, especially the manta ray. And petting dogs would be cool too.

[@FelOld]

Zelda is my favorite game franchise of all. The music, the characters, the places... Such found memories that are stuck with me since my childhood and will be till the end of my life. Long live to this great legend.

[@death369reaper]

the using a sword to rest while climbing sounded like a good idea, especially if you need to sacrifice that sword to do it. It also could have made climbing easier, that could be troublesome for some of the requirements to overcome those obstacles with getting better stamina or gear, but it also doesn't matter when you can eat your way through it.

[@Dreadjaws]

It would absolutely be a godsend during rain time, though.

[@nthgth]

I don't really have an opinion on that sword-sticking mechanic, but I do wish there was a way to mitigate the effects of rain while climbing.

[@Dreadjaws]

@@nthgth There's a trick to the way rain affects your climbing. You can climb several steps before the rain pulls you down or you can jump, but in either case the rain pulls you down the exact amount you'd climb with a jump. The best trick is to climb a few steps and at the last moment do a jump. You will be taken back the length of the jump, but the few steps you climbed will still have made you closer to the ledge. By using this way and provided you have enough stamina you can still climb any surface, it'll just take longer. But man, if we could have done the sword thing I would have gladly sacrifice a bunch of weapons in order to climb even faster.

[@nthgth]

@@Dreadjaws yes, I remember now. That technique is your only hope, and sometimes the rain pulls you down before you get to the jump. Maybe I was just doing it poorly haha (it's been a minute). Yeah, if that sword trick was available I'd probably have kept a few on me specifically to sacrifice in that situation. Maybe in BotW 2.

[@Jaws1200]

I remember buying the OOT soundtrack before ever playing the game and listening to it over and over as a kid, often to fall asleep. I didn’t have an N64 at the time, but I did have a CD player and that soundtrack was one of my prized possessions as a child.

[@nthgth]

I still have that CD on my shelf

[@crustyskellington4056]

I had no idea about those Breath of the Wild facts but that goes to show how much work went into it! It’s truly an expansive, interesting world.

[@skibot9974]

“They kept note of how often you find convience stores to determine how often gamers should find something of note” that’s brilliant game design

[@GamingintheAM0801]

Stuff like this is why I'll continue to defend Nintendo. They're like the Disney of video games; as a corporation, I hate them, but as a creative studio they can be downright geniuses.

[@kailastnam9793]

I've always loved trivia and behind the scenes content! All I can imagine now is how much easier climbing would be with rock stabbing and hookshots.

[@fedoragent0077]

Nothing like getting home from a long day at work, grabbing a pint and watching some video game facts. Thanks DYKG Clips.

[@hikuno5]

Always fun to hear more about BOTW’s development, thanks for your hard work DYKG

[@KruizSmith]

I always loved listening to this channel in the background, I'm happy to hear about the podcast, and we'll be checking it out soon.

[@lukeezy__]

10:45 this is literally how it works in totk lmao

[@HyperDefective]

Cool to see conceptual ideas finally make it into a product!

[@coreymartin6363]

I've listened to countless Zelda lore/theory/fact videos while working and this one had several tidbits I've never heard. Great job!

[@joshwannapaas]

It's always crazy how many things you can still find out about games you've been playing for years, ESPECIALLY Breath of the Wild

[@nintendogamer3227]

As a fellow LEFTY like Miamoto himself...it really ticked me off when they changed Link's dominant hand to the right just because of motion controls. Would it kill them to have a LEFTY option for; not only *LEFT HANDED PLAYERS* but for people who want to keep Miamoto's personal connection to Link alive?

[@Mari_Izu]

I'm left handed and didn't minded, because a left handed option would make me control the character with my right hand, and I can't do that for shit.

[@AzizidarkReborn]

19:08 Slight correction to make. Koji Kondo's recorder sound in Zelda 1 is actually the same as the warp whistle jingle from Super Mario Bros. 3, which he also composed for. But as someone who regularly rushes through Ocarina of Time's intro screen for time-saving reasons, this connection to OoT surprisingly caught me off guard.

[@MIDNITE69]

@11:00 So they ended up using that housing idea in TOTK! Cool!

[@MIDNITE69]

And @12:37 a large model of the Divine Beast similar to that Manta Ray is hanging from the ceiling inside the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab!

[@falcoschristmas7172]

I really loved the house in BOTW, I sure hope that the sequel expands on that, like customisation options and choice of location.

[@JeffManning]

I literally grew up on ocarina of time seeing the graphics 20 years later really puts in perspective how much we overlooked modest or bad graphics for a good game play.

[@nthgth]

Hell, I still like the way it looks. I mean, if SMW can look good at age 32, clearly outdated graphics doesn't mean bad graphics.

[@MilkKomsonChannel]

I can't believe you guys manage to keep uploading these "1 hour of facts" videos consistently! It's a huge amount of work! Just wanted to let you know your efforts don't go unappreciated. Mad respect to the team!! 🙏🏼

[@joshuah.4496]

It’s just their older videos stitched together into longer videos, but still the original videos took lots of work I’m sure

[@thatonedudenamedvalentine7836]

What can I say, both channels have helped pass through long, tiring shifts. So thank you for that! Also, during dark times where I need a distraction the most, you been there as well. Thank you for the content, may this become successful it has ever been.

[@polandspringz3317]

Playing BOTW was so fun the first time, but it’s so cool to see all the secrets like hidden music. Love your videos

[@jrchmgn.]

Love botw, love it more when DYKG talks about it.

[@jonathanwilson7949]

same

[@Bobbeyjazz]

I'm not sure how I feel about a live-action Zelda made by Netflix or any movie studio. I would feel a 3D animated Pixar style film would be more fitting.

[@andre_in_vhs]

I actually cannot see a Pixar film based on Zelda, maybe if it was based on Wind Waker, I think an anime movie studio ghibli style is the perfect way to make a Zelda and Link animated movie

[@Bobbeyjazz]

@@andre_in_vhs true! That hadn't come to my mind, I've only seen a handful of Studio Ghibli films, I have to put that on my bucket list.

[@nthgth]

@@andre_in_vhs ooh, yes, Ghibli. I could see them adapting any of the character designs from any of the 3D games or the artwork from the 2D ones. Or Pixar for Toon Link games, true.

[@ADHD_Lothario]

That’s not possible

[@__BlacklotuS__]

I feel ghibli or kadokawa

[@D.J3lly]

The music in Zelda games are always gonna be one of the many things I love about the series 😌

[@nthgth]

Me too, and it was my biggest disappointment about BotW (right behind the breakable weapons).

[@B.J.Camire]

I LOVE The Legend of Zelda, one of the greatest game series of all time. Love to hear more obscure Zelda facts.

[@MasterArchfiend]

Wow, I really should get Breath of the Wild because they clearly put in a lot of effort. It’s been on my wishlist, but I just have such a massive backlog to get through. I love learning more about development of games as someone who wants to make one someday. Gives me ideas of what to do and not do if I ever do it, be it alone or with a team.

[@shadowpersonoftheunknown6245]

It's an awesome game! I was disappointed with the ending though. It wasn't as climactic as Ocarina of Time's ending.

[@christophertski2057]

I wish I could play breath of the wild for the first time again. I also can't wait for the sequel

[@SweetKingTanner]

I wasn’t even much of a Zelda fan before I played it but it’s definitely top 5 my favorite games if not top 2..

[@nthgth]

I wish the same for Ocarina

[@dc8rdecoded]

Always love hearing how much went into BOTW. Makes me wonder if the hook shot might return in BOTW2.

[@alexagnito4462]

I’ve been watching DYKG for years now and it always brings me joy to learn more about the games I never got to play. It’s kind of like filling in the blind spot.

[@robertcorwen4820]

Ocarina of Time is one of the best games I played in my life. I discovered the game while I was recovering from a huge bicycle accident at age 9. The game really helped me go through those tough times, can never forget it.

[@messss]

Really cool to get a more in-depth view into Wind Waker-one of my favorite zelda games!! Thank you for what you do.

[@MezkaG]

Always good to listen to Seth Everman and PBG talk about Zelda. Would be interesting if diving is added to BOTW2 along with the skies.

[@christophetremblay5086]

I love how deep the Zelda franchise lore can get

[@jongofett]

Haven’t really been a huge Nintendo fan, but I’m very willing to “Switch” it up given the chance! *nudge nudge wink wink*

[@zidkins]

Bro wink wink to you back

[@austinbradley8551]

The horse with its head in the window kills me 😂

[@SSVegeta937]

As a long time Zelda player (36 years), the best part of Breath of the Wild was finding all the past locations that were linked (pun intended) to other titles in the series.

[@bensoncheung2801]

13:18 Imagining a Gerudo duel-wielding hook-shots, zooming every which-way and ramming/drop-kicking enemies right now!

[@diabolik13]

Still remember playing Ocarina of Time at sister's house when I was younger and every visit would get me closer to 100% completion.

[@MrAZNMexican]

Level grinding goes by so much faster with these hour long videos, thank you!

[@Adventureruler]

5:44 COME ON MIYAMOTO, YOU COULDVE SAVED SO MUCH FRUSTRATION 😤😤

[@willc3799]

I love the behind the scenes stuff within the video game industry and even more so nintendo insight, it stops being just a game and becomes something more like a story almost. Brings great joy to us gaming enthusiasts

[@pasqualembisceglia1989]

Ganondorf, Young Link and Zelda/Sheik are newcomer characters in Super Smash Bros Melee along with Bowser, Dr. Mario, Falco, Ice Climbers, Marth, Mewtwo, Mr. Game & Watch, Peach, Pichu and Roy.

[@Paulamonsa]

Its a shame that features like the dragonfly were cut! I used the beetle a lot in Skyward Sword and would have loved to be able to scout locations on BOTW too. But truly some of the saddest cuts are the animal interactions, not being able to pet the dogs when we were able to carry them on Twilight Princess and seeing the horse interactions planned really make me wish they would have added them, even if they served no other purpose

[@nthgth]

I'm hoping to see a ton of the BotW cut content implemented in the upcoming sequel. I mean they've had 5 years now!

[@ladyyotsu7809]

As someone who spent 14 hours sneaking around Hyrule castle trying to climb to the top, right after the Great Plateau, I totally understand Miyamoto just climbing trees!

[@forrestsmith7128]

just found out about this channel. as an aspiring game designer, it’s wonderful to see how my favorite games took real world inspiration for their fantasy games

[@tuvshii-1833]

I’ve been revisiting some of the older DKYG videos on the main channel again, and learning that this channel will have those videos AND combine them into longer videos has been a blessing. Thanks for all that you guys do!

[@isenhart2920]

Hyrule castle music is amazing. I especially love how it incorporated the Link's Awakening theme in it.

[@ewhiti4030]

One of my favorite game series, love hearing all these facts compiled together! Thanks for all the amazing content!

[@alexmarcoe8150]

Legend of Zelda rules, it’s crazy how much detail went into the development of BOTW

[@Linkmstr]

Thank you DYKG for putting in so much work!

[@Degdreams]

Interesting how Tears of the Kingdom realized Terry Town's true vision

[@bartat404]

I genuinely love these videos. Watching them and learning things about the games development and history is so fascinating. I find myself using them to help me fall asleep to, sometimes as well.

[@casoanaamy]

One word describes this video optimally: AWESOME! Thank you, guys 😃👍

[@MinimunWage]

Zelda's one of those franchises that you can definitely go hours and hours talking about, the way its made and the very scope of every game definitely makes it always interesting to learn about.

[@jmoney2440]

These hour long videos are the greatest thing to happen to KZbin. Perfect for long drives. Even ones I can’t relate to as much such as the 3DS facts. I can watch any of them

[@bedphil_]

I love listening to these hour-long videos while traveling. I'm happy you've been uploading so many of them recently

[@Andrazel]

Honestly just watching facts for an hour is super chill for some reason. I could do it all day

[@Kavinicus1]

I've been hoping for compilations like these for quite some time. So happy this 2nd channel exists now. I prefer the long play videos when I'm listening to videos like this at work

[@novvaplays4980]

I just wanna say I’ve been vibing to these videos for years now, I especially love all the debunking videos and it’s been great that these videos have been revisited and updated over the years, keep up the insane work peeps

[@joeybonzo1758]

Thank you for everything you do DYKG!

[@1jackofspades]

Always love the extra info on some of my favorite games

[@Blue65Tank]

the pokemon ones are so fun to put in the background while I'm going back through the classic games. been watching DYKG since 2012 crazy to think that's 10 years now

[@JonnyZerep]

I absolutely love listening to these on my 1 hour commute to and from work. Thank you guys!

[@BlueInfinity22]

I think one of my favorite things about these compilations is that I'm always surprised by there being facts I don't recall seeing before, despite them being from the videos you've made. Really enjoyable and makes these even more interesting to listen to.

[@AA-tj7wt]

I love your videos! You go into great lengths to get as much information as possible for those who are invested on what goes into game development. I've grown into a big enthusiast because of your content!

[@Habits89]

I love how much inspiration and work went into the breath of the wild map. I've always enjoyed how vast and filled it felt.

[@robertpendarvis3378]

Lately I’ve been getting more and more into Zelda, so this was actually perfect timing 🤝

[@wolfbro82]

They are watching us watch them

[@chloeb30]

I really appreciate you guys posting this content to podcast platforms too! I like to listen to these compilations while I draw or work on assignments, and if I'm listening on my phone, it means I can still use other apps if I need to without cutting off the audio. Plus it uses significantly less data if I'm listening while travelling and don't have WiFi!

[@Blackmagegalayis]

It's going to be a monumental time getting to see what's been concocted for BotW:2. With how much time has been spent on its development, it's as if the world is going to practically double in size and/or density.

[@sst85og]

Loved all these facts from one of my favorites franchises. Thank you for all your hard work with your videos as always!

[@charlescervantes3462]

I love the information regarding translations for video games. Its a whole new appreciation I never gave enough thought. Keep it up guys and I cant wait to hear more about the process of translating dialouge! :)

[@punkrockhawk19]

I love these one hour videos. Makes time go by faster and easier at work. Thanks for the video and the awesome info!

[@adis3202]

Glad to see you guys carrying on. Also really happy to have these as podcasts. They're a joy to have a long walks.

[@iammegan6626]

I actually noticed the opening notes to Dragon Roost when I played through BotW, and I almost cried. It felt like such a subtle nod that wouldnt hamper the experience if you hadmt played Wind Waker
