Hmm, what happens if you stick the glowing flux construct cube in a box and seal it shut during the fight with it? I'm assuming it will break the box, but wondering if anyone tried that.

[@apple5293]

i actually have gotten up to the starting area before getting teleportation because those boxes that just float infinitely you can keep stacking them above you climbing up it and then pulling the one below you above you and repeating it over and over until you get there edit: forgot to mention but yeah ik that the fans are the way he got up there but like just saying thats how i got up there when i played

They were working on this game for years there is no way they didn't think of all these problems and even more that weren't covered in all that time.

[@NightFangFenrir]

Not to mention they even had the foresight of adding a mechanic (ie Bloodmoon) that will trigger in response to a physics engine overload (may be wrong on the specific trigger) that drastically reduces the likelihood of the game crashing.

FYI if you get to a temple without having the sage, the ring you activate to start the temple rejects you and shows a red X. I accidentally got to the water temple while looking for the fish from which to shoot the arrow.

[@Fioriole]

I got to the Wind Temple early and had the same thing happen. Worst part was that I found out that you can't just go grab Tulin and warp to the highest shrine to get to the temple quickly, he'll leave you and head to a lower area because parts of his dialogue during the sky island ascent section is apparently mandatory, so I had to 1. Hunt him down which was a nightmare and 2. Go through the entire area again.

Interesting that the message "You can't use fuse on a damaged blade" only pertains to the Decayed Master Sword, as all weapons you find (other than Pristine) are also decayed, and the whole point of the fuse ability is to strengthen those weapons.

[@RobloxOverloadGames]

Well damaged and decayed are different

[@seiun7833]

I feel like it’d make a lot more sense if the message was “You can’t use Fuse on a *blade this damaged*” to emphasize that it isn’t about decay or weapon durability, it’s specifically about how the Master Sword is in such bad shape that Fuse refuses to work on it

[@zeldafactstotk]

[@zeldafactstotk]

It should have been a *broken* blade in my opinion, since at this point the master sword is legitimately broken, as opposed to most other weapons which are decayed/damaged, but still mostly intact in some way.

[@jeremiahbell6129]

Many people immersed themselves in their first run, and either haven't started a second run, or chose to focus on different things in a second run, reducing their time on the Great Sky Island as much as possible.

[@JohnboyTheGamer]

Rest assured. When I found out that the ending part had a (spoilers) false sense of urgency, I was greatly impressed by that. I like how they made the surrounding and effect seem like you're still falling also the sense of control you have is good too.

[@EmissaryofWind]

It wouldn't be as meaningful if the game delivered the final blow or caught Zelda for you, but it would feel so bad if you missed the prompt, failed and had to start the sequence over. Making it impossible to miss but designing it so you feel compelled to do it quickly is the most elegant solution.

[@lilharm]

fun fact: through use of glitches, it’s possible to not grab the decayed master sword at the beginning (a burning object in the doorway, since you can’t grab anything besides the decayed sword until you leave the room) and it’s still there after the cutscene where you give it up

I’m pretty sure you can ascend out of the whirlpool cave if that helps!

[@locrianphantom3547]

The reason the stabilization devices create anti-gravity is because they do that whenever they are not upright while turning midair so that they have time to flip before hitting the ground.

[@curtdog647]

Did you know that the reason Recall is named that is because when you activate a geoglyph to get a memory, the Recall Secret Stone glows. You're literally *recalling* the memory, as in "to remember"

[@Aigis31]

Plus, Sonia describes her time powers to Zelda in one of the memories as remembering how the object was moments ago (or something to that effect), so it being named after memory is clever.

[@Smurfy1999]

Ironalically, "Recall" is reffered by the game internally as "ReverseRecorder," something like that.

[@angelmendez-rivera351]

Recall is also the only ability with an actual relevance to the storyline and is not merely a gameplay tool. Recall is what allowed Zelda to travel to the past, allowed Link to send the Master Sword to Zelda, and it also ended the story by restoring Zelda from her draconification and Link's arm. It is very fascinating, since Breath of the Wild had nothing of the sort.

[@DracoHandsome]

@@angelmendez-rivera351 That's because in BotW the champion powers are what's relevant - they use them in their cutscenes, and their Ganonblights are mocking parodies of them. Fireblight copies Daruk's large weapon and shield. Thunderblight copies Urbosa's sword & board style as well as her lightning powers. Waterblight copies Mipha's spear, but her power is benevolent so it can't use it - this may be why it's the only Ganonblight to clearly use a Rune, namely Cryonis. Windblight uses a gun in place of Revali's bow, and can shoot tornadoes in parody of his Gale.

Oddly enough, getting to the platform before opening the door is something that happened on my first playthrough. Once I made it to the Goddess Statue in the building, I didn't notice the giant wall was a door and was at a loss. So I used all my abilities to get to the other side, ask "what's this door thing over here? eh, must not be important right now" and proceeded to the platform where the glowy ball would eventually be. I did eventually go back and try to open the door, but it took a few falls and deaths before I embarrassingly figured it out.

[@ElectricFury]

6:00 I did this when I started the game. I had fully explored as far as I could go without Ultrahand before I touched the door so when the shrines became active I was annoyed that I had already been to the first one and had to walk back.

I'm pretty sure that comment was talking about the master sword in the opening not breaking, which is technically possible, if you use a glitch to transfer it to a different save file, you'll find out it's not actually the master sword, instead, a separate item with a weird placeholder name.

[@moonlightaxolotl5249]

The diving to catch Zelda scene is also a really nice contrast to the very beginning of the timeline, when Zelda pushes her Loftwing to the limit to catch Link in Skyward Sword, (canonically) Link pushing himself to fall as quickly as possible to catch her and make sure she lands safely. It was a moment that I genuinely cried when realizing. The Zelda's Lullaby, that connection, and the relief from finally finishing the Ganondorf fight that I was woefully unprepared for just took over and I had to. TotK is a beautiful game.

[@trentahern1333]

I saw the question at the end ask about the heart containers in the dungeons. If you don’t pick them up they will remain there forever until you do, so you can pick them up whenever. This wasn’t discussed in the video, but if you don’t collect the Master Sword before the whole final sha-bang, it just gives you an abbreviated version of the ‘pulling the sword’ scene and lets you finish the fight with it. Afterwards, when you continue the save you will reset to not having the sword. Also not in the video: many enemies have a damage cap that will always bring you down to ¼ heart even if the attack does more damage than health. This is so new players are not overwhelmed by the difficulty. A prime example of enemies that ignore this would be Lynles. (I only found these out because I’m a masochist that plays this game the same way I played BotW- 3 hearts, no extra stamina, no armor)

[@psuedonym9999]

You still do the shrines and then sell the essences to the horned statue anyways, right? Seems like a good alternative way to go about it while still only having 3 hearts & 1 stamina wheel. Also so you don't miss out on the the completion reward.

I did get to the light dragon early, though not as early as this example. I figured that the light dragon is Zelda and therefore thats where the Master Sword would be. Only later did I realize there was a whole quest behind it in the korok forest.

never even thought that the light dragon might be zelda until after learning that in the story - but still got the master sword early. i happened to be on an island where the light dragon was flying closely by, and went over to see what was on it out of curiosity - imagine my surprise when i saw the master sword. funny enough getting to korok forest was one of the last things i did in the game cause i couldn’t figure out how to enter it until i looked it up lmao

[@stampylongnoah]

I was genuinely really curious about what you were going to say about the Platform above Lookout Landing at 23:10. I tried getting up there myself a few days after the game came out, only to be met with an IMMEDIATE BLOOD MOON. This was strange for a plethora of reasons, most notably the fact it was only 6 PM. I am aware of a property both BOTW & TOTK have where if the game really doesn't like the state which the game is in, (usually by overloading it) the game will force a Blood Moon in order to reset the game and try to fix things. I assumed this is what happened whenever I reached the island, as after the Blood Moon, the game respawned me back at the top of the North Hyrule Diving Ceremony Island, which is where I flew to the Lookout Landing island from. You visibly standing on the island with no Blood Moon in sight has made me unendingly curious about why I got a forced Blood Moon and why. If you ever do a sequel to this video, I'd love to get an answer as to why getting to that apex island might force a Blood Moon like it did for me.

[@Chubby_Bub]

It wasn't necessarily caused by you going to that sky island, but it could possibly be a side effect of being so high (that's a total guess, it's really impossible to say). The "panic" Blood Moon happens only under certain conditions regarding the different systems of the game engine, so _something_ was going on that overloaded the game's resources. The panic Blood Moons also have the property where they reset the "game scene" (akin to a loading screen) which is why you ended up back on the other island. All that said, I've been to that island just fine, I even placed a travel medallion. You just got unlucky.

The area under Hyrule castle can be explored in the lead-up to the final boss fight. You can even find Zelda's torch at the bottom of the hole where she dropped it.

I actually knew about the "can't fuse to a damaged blade" message because I've actually tried it myself. Because I never run out the MS during the tutorial (I see no reason to use a weapon that's weaker than a treebranch). Honestly I wouldn't have been surprised if you told me the MS can't run out of energy during the tutorial.

I knew you couldn't fail to catch Zelda from my first time cuz I saw the bottom not getting closer at all in comparison to the regular game play. Still, I rushed to save her none the less lol

I like and respect how you warned about spoilers in case there's people who hasn't finished it, I already did it but before I did i encountered a lot of totk videos which didn't give a shit about showing spoilers or not, so im happy at least there's people who respect the ones who hasn't saw the game

29:23 My first temple in the game was the Wind Temple without Tulin. I was just exploring and messing around as you do, when I saw the airship trampolines and just kept following them up higher and higher thinking it was some hidden Celeste-type platforming challenge. I eventually got to the Wind Temple and explored all over wondering how to progress not realizing until much later that I needed something from outside the temple. I couldn’t warp back either, so that was annoying.

Or maybe it's just a game mechanic that has nothing to do with the lore lol. Lorewise, history wasn't rewritten. It always was what it was, a closed loop.

3:34 I think they should have had it specify that you can't use it in a *broken* blade, since the Decayed Master Sword is literally missing half it's blade compared to other decayed weapons where it looks like it's just a bit of rust.

[@bgmarshall]

For the RIP near the center of the map, maybe it takes the coordinates of where you died on the map used for the opening which might be different from the actual one in the main map?

20:49 it light dragon doesn't have the light streams because link still has the master sword. attention to detail

[@mariorockysonicmegasochjag]

That doesn't make any sence. Tears of the kingdom is a closed lime loop, meaning things that will happen has Already happend. For example, raruo's hand has sealed ganondorf, ganondorf knows zelda's and link's name, ganondorf has sonia's secret stone, and the light dragon exist. Also, There's no way for the light dragon to exist without the master sword in her Head, becuce the only Reason zelda turned into the light dragon was to heal and deliver the master sword to link.

[@Artherbit]

@@mariorockysonicmegasochjag If Link still has the master sword on the sky islands, Zelda would turn into the dragon anyways to keep living, incase he fails.

[@mariorockysonicmegasochjag]

@@Artherbit that doesn't make sence either. As Mineru said, to turn into a dragon is to lose oneself, so if zelda did that, she wouldn't feel anything, and she couldn't help link (exept for lending him your claws, but you don't need them), so nothing would've happened. And if nothing would've happend, Why do it? And a bigger question, if she did it becuse she Wanted to live forever, Why not live normaly until you're old, then become invincible? And this comment that I'm making now is just about a theoretical thing that couldn't have happend, becuse, again, it's a closed time loop, so either she had the sword while link was on the great sky island and while he was not, or she didin't have it while link was on the great sky island or when he was not.

[@somerandominternetweirdo9962]

I completely agree with you that the stakes are really not important in that last segment, I remember when it cut to that, it completely blew my mind because I fully expected it to just be a cut scene, but holy crap it felt so good to actually take control even though it's such a simple interaction. It genuinely made me feel like a sense of empowerment and like that was really the ultimate reward after everything I had done to get to that point, and if it was merely a cut scene it would not even remotely have had the same sorta feel or impact. Props to the devs for that, because they took something that wouldve been just any old cutscene, and just with that tiny bit of interactiveness completely transformed it to an experienced moment that i will never forget.

[@clocktopus2643]

The light dragon wouldn’t have the master sword in her head before the tutorial because Link hadn’t sent the sword back in time to Zelda yet

That's not how time travel works

[@clocktopus2643]

@@CassiusStelar Depends. If you believe that everything that has happened and is happening and will happen is certain to happen in the timeline of the universe, then my statement would be deemed incorrect. If one believes that a timeline is fluid and changes constantly, then my statement would be plausible (I think). There are tons of theories on time travel but obviously they cannot be tested in real life. Explain to me the way you think time travel works. (Tbh I wasn't really thinking too deep into the comment when I made it so I'm probably incorrect)

But one thing you might have not checked, about entering the Recall Shrine without recall: You said you reloaded your save file to when you hadn't even activated the Temple of Time. But in that state, as we found, NO shrine can be activated. But could you activate it when using the same method to reach it just AFTER activating ToT? Or would this shrine alone still be missing the activate-trigger?
