I was deadass convinced the tier list was entirely based on how edible each rock looked. bamboozled again

[@MiahTRT]

idk they do look pretty tasty 👀

[@iLLadelph267]

Exactly, they can't just make them look so tasty and expect us not to think this!

Hilariously, three Stone Talus hearts were in F tier. I guess rng doesn’t like them either lol

[@newbiezinc4338]

Fun fact: the fourth kind of ruin rubble (a.k.a. the type you find outside of the woodland stable shrine) cannot trigger the zonal bonus on zonai weapons, due to the fact that it does not contain any zonai material/technology. When you recall them, they do not emit green light either. (I wrote about this in a Chinese blog somewhere. It's a nice detail of the game.) Awesome video as always! Congrats man!

ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE!

[@_Ludwig__]

watched smallants collecting all rocks video and now i can learn even more about the beauty of rocks in totk, also pickles

[@colonelclev4500]

The bigger gohma rock can be separated from a weapon it has fused with to allow the creation of a rock attached to a large platform that slams down at a consistent rate.

[@thetrashtrain3774]

Cannot believe the amount of excited i was when i saw this in my recommended

[@ventusse]

This being recommended to me after just watching SmallAnt's video about collecting rocks is just good timing

bro wrote a 24 minute video about rocks

[@lettuce7273]

watching this straight after watching smallant collect every type of rock, weird to be 2 for 2 on totk rocks rn

[@James2210]

I kinda guessed that the tier list was random, pickles

[@iLLadelph267]

I'm subscribing just for that intro 😂

[@cowcat8124]

Honestly I was very confused on how you were scoring the stones on the tier list the whole time

[@psuedonym9999]

I like that collection of pickles you showed off near the middle of the video

[@not_DJ_Ender]

I need that damned minecart on legs, where is it?

[@FishyBoi1337]

[@waklord9231]

Wow thanks! so useful! you should make a video about weather.

[@HoneebunnySapphire]

the plot twist D: haha, thanks for another interesting and informative video!

[@MageKiton]

I mean, to reinforce what I assume you already know, if they're never spoken aloud, shrine name pronunciation is arbitrary! Also, I really enjoy your videos, the factoids are fun, I like listening to your voiceovers, and I particularly love your editing style

[@doriancook1176]

Drg mentioned for a half second let's GOOOOOO

[@andreworders7305]

13:55 how does the game distinguish the models in the code if they don’t have different file names?

[@MiahTRT]

but they DO have different file names

[@SamTehSquirrel]

W humor, didn’t think I’d watch to the end then it ended lol

[@bubbles9009]

these kinds of videos fill me with so much whimsy

[@TheDosss]

I KNEW IT! I knew the ranking wasnt real when he put the fire talus heart in f tier

[@andreworders7305]

9:59 does zip lining with hook shield possible?

[@smh707]

this dude underrated

[@HmmmmmLemmeThinkNo]

Pickles?! They screw w my acid reflux so bad, but they're so good 😭

[@sugarycoffeebean]

the anticipation I had was so brutally crushed from my soul, I humbly offer you a like and a comment

[@MapleRose9]

I kept hearing "curvy rocks" as "Kirby rocks", and was wondering what's Kirby-like about them😆

[@Zeldrake]

I was first thinking that the tierlist was based on a hidden statistic like mass or length of filename, but then rocks of a similar type were going in different tiers, so I wondered if it was average hue of the image or scrabble score of the rocks. But then otherwise identical rocks got sent to different tiers, so I was wondering if it involved taking powers of the average scrabble score per letter Then I found out the entire tierlist was random all along - and well played xD

[@oliviashepherd-uq1ji]

10:03 Are there not similar hooks on the GSI? Or are they different?

[@oliviashepherd-uq1ji]

I should have waited two more seconds.

[@soundspark]

Rocks have been in Zelda since the very beginning where some can be pushed aside to open secret paths. Zelda II you'd smash them with the Hammer, and A Link to the Past you could start picking up and throwing them.

[@etaknar]

As a way to get us to contribute our fav objects, this is brilliant. The bowl is SSS tier; it has a center of gravity well below its physical bottom, and it takes a steering stick perfectly. Thus, it makes an unreal chassis for a small wheel vehicle. Literally, you can climb any hill and jump off the ramps in the testing grounds.

[@etaknar]

Also the wind temple block is A tier because it stays big when you drop a shield which is fused to it; big enough to hide inside of it. This is very useful.

[@Black_Chariot]

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[@andreworders7305]

2:27 how do you find that kind of thing? Command f in the game code?

[@MiahTRT]

I used the TOTK object map to find the total count :)

[@Helmotz.]

3:08 why does it mention "fairy" when it's at 0% ? Is it like so close to 0% it doesn't display ? or a removed feature ?

[@MiahTRT]

removed feature, likely

[@boi8214]

20:00 yeah I spent like 30 mins shield cart skating on it

12:32 the lack of the YunoboCo metal mine carts suggests a metal video coming.... hmmm 🧐

[@Bahamut-ie3tk]

So when are you going to do the boss damage breakdown?

[@andreworders7305]

11:34 did not know those could be fused. Guess you have to leave and come back if you do that

[@jackscrack99]

This video rocks

[@kingMimic.P]

For the tear list, called it. Also pickles

[@crffin5458]

It took me about 5 rocks to come to the conclusion that the tier list was randomly generated. And I was like 100% spot on too. I was literally thinking it was between a random number generator or asking ChatGPT. I feel so smart rn 💪

[@luckyass4895]

ROCK AND STONE

[@Criss207]

As someone who likes Zelda Tears of the kingdom and deep rock galactic i can confirm that ROCK AND STONE! (deep rock galactic content)

[@andreworders7305]

4:13 is this near Tarry town or did you have to carry these a stupidly long way one at a time?

[@MiahTRT]

I glued them to a hoverbike and took them with me iirc

6:18 do autobuild jelly boulders count?
