The SIGNIFICANCE Behind the Satori Mountain || Breath of the Wild Documentary

One of the most unique things about Breath of the Wild is its ability to tell most of it's stories throughout the world itself. The Satori Mountain happens to be one of the best examples of this, as the whole mountain and backstory was made in tribute to the former Nintendo president, Satoru Iwata. Although this reference is known to be one of the most clever in the game, there are actually far more details on this mountain that may help connect this location even further to the past president and the lore of the world - significantly more then most people may have initially even realized!! I hope you all enjoy!!

When it comes to environmental storytelling, I wholeheartedly agree, BotW is *phenomenal*, but as for the cutscenes... Well, I find that a lot of them lean a bit too heavily on the tell aspect for my liking, but I'm nonetheless glad you enjoy the story as a whole! Also? Show, don't tell *absolutely* applies to writing as well. You can convey *so* much through actions, reactions, what is said and what is not, and it's an excellent way to inject world building without going all exposition dump on your audience (three guesses as to what my greatest passion is lol)

[@billcipher8645]

​@@AllegedlyHuman well, honestly, the fact they went for a tell approach in cutscenes makes sense. If your whole world works on show don't tell principles it can be confusing for some people to piece the story together, especially if they are children, neurodivergent or generally have issues with understanding subtle clues. Having some very clearly "tell" parts in a story that you want to be accessible to all age groups is very smart and healthy for the narrative

[@AllegedlyHuman]

@@billcipher8645 lol, I am one of those neurodivergent people myself, I've just spent a lot of time deciphering how people work. There's nothing wrong with liking the cutscenes as they are, I just personally found it a bit disengaging to watch it all be spelled out, especially when it's just someone talking *at* Link, y'know, instead of having something more akin to an organic conversation. I far prefer TotK's cutscenes in this regard - and I will also readily admit not all of BotW cutscenes are exposition dumps. Some are actually great! Also, just editing to add, I totally get the accessibility issue, and I don't disagree, it's just not what would have been ideal for my personal, highly specific taste lol

Blupees felt like more of a callback to the rabbits that hyrule used to have in the early Zelda games. I figured that's what they really were, spirits of a long extinct animal still attached to the lands they used to roam so so long ago. The running man in oot tells link that hyrule used to have a lot of rabbits, but that they went extinct due to over hunting. Link to the past/link's awakening were the (last?) games to feature any. If there's anything unsettling about them - because of course there would be - it's their face; they have a face of an owl.

[@Blutankalpha]

Yep

[@perriwinkleiii5361]

This is incredible! Dalite Forest, the forest with the lake and all the wildlife, has been one of my favourite locations in Breath of the Wild since I first discovered it! Aside from all the adundant flora and fauna there, it's worth noting that there are FOUR Koroks in that tight vicinity, which is the closest concentration of Koroks I've seen anywhere in the game. Iwata even provides for the Koroks!

[@Croton]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the video!! The forest is one of my favorite places as well - I'm glad they put so much detail into it (The extra koroks are a nice touch!!) 😄

[@ShadowSkyX]

Koroks could be an extension of him in a way as well, in-game the koroks acting as a sort spiritual protection as long as you appeased the nature spirits with offerings. But also the desert, death mountain and the korok forest (ironically) have way fewer koroks in hiding than anywhere else. For koroks forest I assume is because all those others have left home and hope to take root eventually somewhere in the world. But they cannot survive the most extreme of fiery airs around death mountain and sands of the desert. (Note there is usually water or an oasis with good enough soil). Not sure what those ?metallic? puzzles you have to mirror to make them pop out of hiding, but there's usually food of some kind nearby.

[@sabatham]

I noticed that, too. I loved that lake when I found it and spent a long time just exploring the area.

[@Drakenwild]

I always assumed the tent was Quince's. Like, Satori seems like an old being, I don't think the tent would survive if it was him who lived in it all these years ago.

[@Croton]

Hmm that's a really good point actually!! The thing about the sage, is that we don't know when exactly he died and became the lord though. So if was semi recent then it still could have been his, but if not, it makes sense that it would be Quince's!! Thanks for sharing, thats a neat way of looking at it!!

[@Drakenwild]

@@Croton my assumption that he's old comes from the fact that it is at least somewhat known across the land that he's there or that weird stuff happens on the mountain. Quince heard about animals from somewhere before he went hunting after all and stable men, when trying to register Satori, speak of him like they know him from some old legends. Also, assumption with no real evidence, but I doubt the living sage would be able to cultivate Durian trees successfully on the mountain, given their requirements. I think they grew after he passed, as a result of divine protection of the being, which would point at it being reasonably long ago due to size of the trees (though it's magic, so they might as well gotten to this size instantly). Most importantly though, mountain is named after the sage. Name is in use and it is being used by Sheikah Tower map no less. I would assume the "scanning" that happens when you get the map refers to topology, not names cause... how would you scan names out of the ground, I have no idea. So, presumably, this name was used long, long before Hyrule even fell. How long, no idea, but Tower and Slate had to get them from somewhere, from some sort of records. That would mean sage lived and died at least 100 years ago, maybe more. Thinking about map theory more now, if Satori is named upon extraction of the map (which I think it is but would have to check) we can probably assume it existed and was named that 10000 years ago when Sheikah technology was being created and cared for, huh. Cause everything else, newer structures (that probably wouldn't survive all this time if they weren't newer), like Lon Lon Ranch, are all names that appear on the map as you get there, meaning it's probably Link inputting the names manually. But anyway, yeah, if passing of the Sage was semi recent, then your reading is likely and very interesting!

[@randomname9723]

@@Drakenwild I think they took some liberties there. I mean the Shiekah map should be thousands of years old? But the orchards and stuff are definitely made by Satori and they should have disappeared so I think it's likely he died ages ago but they kept his legacy beyond what time would allow.

You can feed him apples as well and he'll heart you for it :-) If you leave him alone for too long, he will eventually disappear, but just wanted to let you know that he will stay with you for a while, mounted or not, if you build a good rapport (soothe after every gallop right as the spur fills back in)

I even knew about the vast quantities of stuff. But the fact that many more animals appeared when satori appeared.... that blew my mind. Also, the places that have food have so much of it. There’s a mountain literally covered in crows, and I farmed half the apple orchard and got 100 apples. Speaking of the lake being able to maintain a lot of animals, there’s also 3 koroks there. Coincidence? I think not.

[@emmaspencer4586]

Don't forget he was also a sage, perhaps a sage from 10000 years ago who fought against ganon. Who knows, maybe Satori was one of the four original pilots of the divine beasts. I'm guessing Vah Ruta or Vah Medoh.

There is that possibility, but considering that there is no confirmed Hylian divine beast pilot (whom which the sage likely was), then he probably was not. Interesting thought though!!

While I have been a fan of Nintendo since childhood, I didn't really care much about games and didn't know much about Satoru Iwata other than that he kind of rose up from within the company, and was passionate about games. I remember when he passed away though, that I actually felt very sad despite not knowing much about him. It felt like there was a very distinct mourning of his loss when he passed away, not just from Nintendo but from all video game developers and players. It seemed like a time when developers were caring more and more about the bottom line, while he cared more about the passion and the experience of the games itself, and that perhaps people realized this as well. I've heard many developers from various companies say how inspired they were with games like the original Legend of Zelda, or Ocarina of Time, or Mario games, etc etc, that these are what made them want to develop games themselves.

Wow this video was outstanding! One of the best of your channel! Satori mountain is really a breathtaking location. Also congrats on 6k subs!

[@Croton]

Glad you liked it!! Thanks Zelda Lore!! 😄

[@lxrdxo9388]

1 year ago you barely had 6k. Now you're just shy of 100k. Much deserved. Congratulations!!

[@Croton]

It's all been crazy this past year haha - thank you much! 😄

[@kurosakikun96]

Watched a few vids on this channel over the last few days, but this earned my sub, this type of thing is amazing

[@joshmay2944]

This video is your masterpiece! I loved your “thanks for 6k subscribers” at the end, especially knowing that you just hit 150k! The success is well deserved :)

[@Croton]

It has really been a while, hasn't it 😅 thank you so much though, I appreciate it! :)

[@bigpapapage7165]

One of my favorite KZbin videos of all time about such a touching subject 😭

[@iakan6937]

ngl I legit feel bad for all of the minor things I've complained about in the game now. You got me legit tearing up, keep up the great work.

[@OguriOfMari]

Dang this makes me tear up... Iwata you left us too early... 😢

[@treddox5880]

Holy crap. Okay, I have 1000+ hours in the game, and have memorized the map to the point where I dont really even use it anymore. But you taught me new things about this mountain. Some I knew, some I didn't. Wow. Well done, sir.

[@Croton]

Glad I was able to help then!! Thank you ☺️

[@sg4030]

This video is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for making it! 💜

[@antos.8070]

This video is amazing! Everything about it was so clear, didn't even have to go back to any part of the video. I definetly subscribed to this channel and liked this video! Thanks for making this video, I was always so curious about this. :)

[@happy_party_train]

I’ve been dying for you to cover this and it has been well worth the wait!

[@Croton]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you 😊

[@KikiRayburn]

This is by far the best video I’ve watched about a game! I appreciate the in depth awe and respect throughout it and love how much effort went into understanding this beautiful story ꨄ

[@ClockedIt]

Stunning video. This game and everything involved with it is truly something special. Thanks for making the effort to bring all this information together. Great stuff.

[@Croton]

No problem!! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@Omegasutoraiki]

When I realized the spirit comes around every in game week and that you said they would look forward to discussing their ideas with Satoru Iwata come Monday only to remember he wasn't around anymore it nearly made me cry. That is such a perfect decision for how they felt.

[@elliotsmythe9098]

What an amazing video. I have only praise for this work, amazing job. Really good breakdown on this and good analysis towards the end.

[@Croton]

I'm really glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you 😊

[@loveless9528]

Just found you tonight, and I was in absolute shock when I heard you say your subscriber count. It’s a bit higher now but wow. That figure is going to be absolutely chonking one day! : ) Fantastic video, btw. I was just looking for something to put on in the background while I cleaned my office but I had to sit down and fully pay attention to this after a few minutes! I guess I’m marathoning all your videos now...! ‘_’

[@Croton]

Honestly, I'm flattered!! Thank you so much, it really means a lot!! ☺️☺️

[@ironspiderlink3652]

The wait is always worth it! Thanks for giving insight for little details in the best game franchise ever!

[@Croton]

No problem!! So glad you liked it 😄

[@gabe7999]

Amazing video! Loved how you went deep into this lore!

[@oduttagupta]

Amazing work and effort ! You went deep and explained all the details really well

[@Croton]

Aw thank you!! Glad you liked it ☺️

[@MochaAsian]

This brought a tear to my eye. Great video!

[@Croton]

Aww, thank you!! 😊

[@discountemu]

Satori mountain is just the most breath taking part of the game.

[@danielwomer]

I love how deeply you dug for this video. Thank you!

[@valkyriediaries308]

I am amazed that in about a year you managed to get over 100k subscribers, atleast that's how it looks from this video and that is just a spectacular job! Good job man!

[@caramelapple5022]

Wow... This Video Has Got To Be Some Of Your Greatest Work You've Ever Done. I Never Thought Of Mr. Iwata While I Walked Past Satori Mountain But Now I'll Never See That Mountain The Same Way Ever Again. This Video Really Cuts Deep Into Your Feelings And Really Easily Starts Of Some Major Waterworks You Never Knew Existed In The First Place.

[@ct1542]

I honestly just thought the mountain was a quirky Princess Mononoke reference, but you learn something new everyday. Great video.

[@kickitsmooth]

Great video man! Very insightful.

[@Croton]

Thank you!!! ☺️

[@syfqzk7249]

Well arranged video. Thanks, Croton.

[@hondaguy9153]

This was a great video. It's Crazy, this morning is the first time I had seen any of your videos, you had 7400 subscribers. You have over 8000 now just 10 hours later. Picking up steam!

[@Croton]

It really is!!! Growth had been litterally insane, considering it took me 2 and a half years to get from 0 to 6500....and now I'm already at 10k 😅 Thank you though!! :)

[@johnnyalegria]

Thank you for this video! Really enjoyed!

[@milkagem]

This is so wholesome and interesting! Thank's for making this video!

[@bigbear4952]

Thanks so much I’ve been trying to find out about satori mountain for ages. You’re videos are amazing! 😁

[@davidjohnston9435]

This is such a cool video and set of discoveries! Thank you for this 😊

[@Croton]

I'm glad you enjoyed ☺️

[@justintremblay3182]

How can anyone deny Zelda Botw being the best ever. I've never been brought to tears like I have throughout this game. The sheer amount of detail is insane, the stories masterful and beautiful. The lines you get when facing final form calamity Ganon, and the story of the champions. Never has Zelda been this epic, and this side story line that gave so much honor to their lost friend is just so moving. Thanks for making this video to highlight it, this was one of those stories from the game that cracks me up just thinking of it.

[@sarahnkitchenwatkins]

This is truly beautiful! Thank you for making this video ☺️

[@Croton]

I'm so glad you liked it!! Thank you!! 😄
