What I think they should have done is put some scripted event or programmed deflection in front of the bare bones invisible wall....so that if anyone hacked or glitched through THAT...THEN they'd hit just a plain wall. An example would be Link getting blown back by desert winds....in the same way that he gets knocked back by an enemy or how he bounces off the dragons when he touches them. They already did this with the Great Sea in Wind Waker, but, in this game, they could intensify the already strong winds that blow when you near the edge of the sea. The same could occur for trying to paraglide across the canyons. On mountains, Link could slip or stutter permanently when he's close to the barrier. Too steep, too windy, too anything....try to deter the player with natural, in-game methods first before just having them hit a blank wall.

[@steptimusheap8860]

In the gerudo desert, they should've made a pretty heavy sandstorm permanently near the end and just lopped you so it looked like you were still walking somewhere but really you weren't.

[@delectablechip2743]

I like to think there’s a colony of lynels up there, because how else would they have weapons of rare metals and be so abundant.

[@darkanayer5867]

Thats... Interesting(beware, this is going to become a micro bible of a comment, and english isnt my first language, so stroke warning) . Every other enemy we see its organized, in tribal groups like bokos, moblins and lizalfos (this last ones being much more advanced than the earlier ones) in swarms like the keese, or simple packs like the chuchu. The exceptions being taluses, Who are just there having Rock life, and the hinox, Who i like to think that are isolated either only for gameplay reasons, or that since they are so big and need to eat that much, tribes of bokos and lizalfos would not like to stick around, since the hinox would eat all their food. Then there are the lynels the lynels, those creatures that seem to have the greatest intelligence, considering first that they managed to forge those weapons and bows, and Also learned to use them effectively. Not only that but they Also, instead of attacking on sight, wasting time and arrows, attack you only if you get too close to them and what they consider their territory (once you tresspass, no mercy) They appeared to be like the perfect creatures to have formed a society, maybe not big structures, But what about a settlement with tents, or maybe little houses. That sounds plausible. Instead, every lynel we find is either an entire región appart from each other, or more close but still very far from each other. But why? I may have some ideas about it. The first of them May have to do with yours, the existance of an unknown colony of lynels, with the lynels we find being maybe explorers, looking for resources, or maybe places to stablish another settlement. This makes the fact that there are lynels relatively close to each other, and Also on múltiple regiones, become something that makes sense. Another option using the tribes its that the ones we find were part of the tribe, but for some reasons, maybe because they were too violent or any other crime, now they are outcasts, and thats why they are so scattered. That Also would Make sense. Another option is that there is no tribe, but there was, once. Something happened, either civil war or that the calamity altered the place were they settled, and now they are alone. Either way, a lynel colony sounds terryfing, yet interesting

Then lynels have the most advancements but the less society. That always bothered me. This theories were just attempts to explain why, Even through im not a theory Man, like hyrule gamer of MNB

[@felixc543]

@@janwillemdewaard9032 it could be as simple as something having the idea of the topographical map looking like agate that they wanted to include a reference to, they aren't 100% consistent with naming anyway, could've been named by someone who didn't know it wouldn't be on the map or checked by people who wouldn't think it would be a big deal Yeah it could've been intended for something early on but there's not really anything to say that they were SO certain there would be content they had to name it NOW. I'm perfectly happy to be wrong when botw2 is released (though expanding beyond the map in the sequel doesn't necessarily prove they already had intentions of it), I just am not convinced that there HAS to be a huge significance to it. Like, naming a mountain that you can't climb does draw extra attention to it, but that's a minor "problem" with their game design even if there is an idea of what's up there, because preferably the player would rarely hit invisible walls, that problem isn't solved by saying "it's a secret" and it doesn't really function to give any hints that I can see (Please forgive my rambling sentence structure, it's a flaw of mine, or don't I'm not your dad)

I hate when games give you the good ol' no when you try to leave. This game suffers from that when it really shouldn't. It has an ocean, a big canyon (that I wanna see the other side of), a desert with an easy sandstorm boarder. So why not make the mountain like really tall? Or better yet, climable with a shrine and a nice view of the south area?

Everyone keeps asking what breath of the wild 2 needs in its world, but all we need is for additional space, what’s beyond those walls we can’t see, what’s beyond the end of gerudo desert, what’s I the other end of the walls we can’t climb

[@Lanosrep]

I think a likely possibility was that it was for DLC Pack 2. That pack features a massive underground divine beast, with no real shape defined by the landscape, it could have literally been anywhere. It could be that they decided to put this at the Mount initially, but decided later in the game to move it to the Plateau, and with it being all underground, little was affected. So they move it, and are left with the question of what to do with the mountain, if you unblock it everyone will do there in search of some great secret and be disappointed. No new shrines, Easter eggs, not even a Korok. But if you leave it blocked, it implies a mystery, and opens the door for you to maybe retcon some future purpose into it

[@roraaamus]

And the fact that there is two bottomless pits in the Garuda highlands as well. It makes so much aense

[@acepouncett]

I'm so glad you made this video!! It's like you read my mind! The fact that the highlands is also where the yiga are located and the 8th heroine- it all seems connected for some reason

[@saram3449]

I literally just came across an area today that I didn’t try traversing before that doesn’t allow you to move forward - it’s that large slab of land and giant rock spines along the coast next to the Akkala labyrinth My immediate thought was “God I hope they use this for the sequel” it feels like a weird path out of Hyrule since just beyond the spines you can see a grassy path leading up the side of a mountain Just something I thought was neat c:

[@tradeka4206]

The caverns they’re in in the trailer give me Moria vibes, I’m really looking forward to exploring whatever that is when the game finally comes out

[@albedo4008]

Up on that mountain is snow xD also how are you mister bandit and your sponsor skits man always cracks me up

[@admiraladama5877]

My guess. You’d see outside the boundaries of what they built. And there’s only so much time to make assets that stopping you from seeing a clipped through view of a mountain or the edge of the game map into nothingness is easier this way

[@speedstorm0332]

I actually think you hit the mark. There's a strong chance that they have an overarching idea for the Gerudo Mountain Range. It does seem to have an ancient feel to it, what with the Sheikah Tower being located there and the fact that the mountain range itself seems craved out.

I think we’ll be able to go past the invisible wall in Botw 2. We’ll be able to explore a bit beyond the lands of Hyrule. Not too much because the most of the new lands will be underground probably

[@samsingtonham-8393]

I tried to climb the unnamed mountain because I wanted to see what happened to the ocean when it neared Gerudo desert and another thing that nobody seems to talk about is the giant natural looking dam behind the Akkala labyrinth.

[@sgtsongbird]

It's also worth mentioning that you can't reach the base of the gerudo tower

[@KefkeWren]

I think there's a much simpler answer here. From the top of the mountain, you'd be able to see what's on the other side. If they don't intend to create the area beyond the mountains, then the simplest place to make the cutoff is at the foot of the mountains, before you get high enough to see past the peak.

[@StopLegoLord]

Well actually, I've been up there with a glitch and the other side is very detailed for some reason. There's a big canyon, but beyond that is a huge mountain range that you aren't supposed to ever reach

[@KefkeWren]

@@StopLegoLord That's very interesting. At that point, hiding something about the mountain itself does feel more plausible.

Likely that the mountains are just meant to be natural barriers to the playable world and Nintendo has nothing to put on them. The playable area has to end somewhere.

[@ender7278]

Nothing is supposed to be up there. It's just the edge of the map. Nintendo decided to just stop you at the cliff rather than the peak so you couldn't look off into the distance and see the absence of mountains that should be there.

[@StopLegoLord]

Actually I've been up there with a glitch and the land beyond is strangely detailed. There are mountain ranges literally stretching as far as I can see

[@dylanrennett5321]

In truth when you mentioned a mountain that couldn't be climbed in the gerudo region my mind instantly clicked to the giant ancient opening to the caverns in the botw 2 trailer. Also would it be possible to use the bouncing glitch or the two stacked metal carts to magnitize to the sky glitch to get a good look at the top of mount agaat?

Since the Sheikah and Yiga split happend 10,000 or more years before breath of the wild so what if the yiga payed the zonai to build the place to worship gannondorf, and eventually tried to break the seal but the hand had too strong of a grip on him so they weren’t able to do anything, so that’s why they could only worship Gannondorf

[@ryanlong9800]

I feel like perhaps the reason that we can’t explore the top of the mountain is because it’s the edge of the map, which means, there’s no more game outside of it, because Nintendo didn’t design any more of the game and it just isn’t part of the game they designed, but maybe that’s just me

[@StopLegoLord]

Actually there is quite a lot of land beyond mount agaat. If you climb to the top with a glitch to pass the invisible wall, you can see a mountain range that goes on as far as you can see

Dude this theory is the best I have seen so far. The fact that some people missed the name of the mountain "agaat" its actually a crystal that is primarily formed within volcanic and metamorphic rocks meaning it's very possible there is a massive cave entrance or at least something similar.
