That’s interesting that it lets you board a Lynel. If you take a Stalhorse to a stable, the NPC tells you they can’t register monsters.

[@leonelcarita]

@@userr.936 It is clickbait, I didn't think you could tame a lynel but I also never tried to do it at under 500 health so guess what when I saw this video I researched to see it it was real because as far as I know it could have been real. So imagine I didn't research it and went up and tried to do it myself, I would have just wasted my time. So not only is this click bait, it wasted people's time more than once depending on how much knowledge they have on the game and how likelike they are to actually read about the game.

I play video games to have fun not to get angry at supposed secret features that don’t work. I always thought the ability to ride other stuff was fun. Especially trying to register a bear when you ride up to the stable. That one is so much fun.

[@ThatScrubWolf]

0:40 you're honestly not too far off the tree name lol they're called Baobab trees also known as the "tree of life". There's 9 species of Baobab and they're some of the oldest species still alive today iirc. They've been around since Pangea split apart roughly 200-300 million years ago which is also why they're only found in a few places and each of those places has different species of it. Two are native to mainland Africa, six to Madagascar, and one to Australia. Very unique tree and in African culture it is a symbol of life and positivity in the barren landscapes it makes it's home.

another idea would be playing as a lynel or an enemy once you leave the shrine of resurrection and making it so that your weapon doesn't have durability besides the wooden ones burning and that you have no armour and you can only eat what that monster eats, it seems interesting and i'm just spitballing here so i'm sure if someone did this they'd be able to flesh it out.

I was able to ride the Satori in both BotW & TOTK. When I took it to the stable to try and register it, the guy was like; "that's not even a horse. Is that the Lord of the mountain? Get it out of here, or we'll all be CURSED!"

[@Alex_Strygin]

How did you ride Satori in TOTK??

[@Dr_Won_Hung_Lo]

@user-wc9xy1me1k you have to sneak up behind it without it seeing you. It's easiest to use the stealth outfit while attempting to mount it. It's only available on Satori mountain. You can't be anywhere near the mountain either, or it won't appear! If you look towards Satori mountain and see a light glowing from it into the sky, that's when it's available to try and ride. Edit: I meant it's only available to ride in BotW NOT TotK. The Satori is in TotK but I haven't rode it, yet

[@Alex_Strygin]

@@Dr_Won_Hung_Lo Isn't Satori shows up only at blossom trees in a little cutscenes? So he is not rideable as far as I experienced.

It depends on whether they _MADE_ the mod or not and if "Mod" appears in the title (usually anyway). PointCrow (and Croton) got C&D's and Takedown orders from Nintendo because they was showing off the mods they *made*, and Nintendo really doesn't like that. They've been known to leave people just _playing_ mods and romhacks alone. There was a Kosmic vid where the ACTUAL Miyamoto simply commented "Stop that." in the comments. Never did anything about it though (but what a legend of a move, right? haha)...
