Can we all agree it’s best we don’t have to go back to the Korok Forest each time the Master Sword runs out of energy in BotW

[@EskChan19]

I duno. If that ment there was no timelimit and you could just go get it back as soon as it broke i would have prefered that i think.

[@nickdacosta2685]

I believe the sword would’ve lasted much longer than it does in game currently if that was the mechanic. If that’s true, I would’ve much preferred that.

[@KorriTimigan]

I do wish we had the option to put it back if we wanted though. Late in my playthrough I found that it was too easy to fight with all the high level drops, so to shake things up I limited myself to no fast travel while exploring and only using knight level weaponry and lower. Unfortunately the Master Sword was always there, so in a pinch I'm always tempted to use it. Probably should have just started a new file, tbh.

I feel like the master sword returning to the forest is more likely a fail-safe left in, similar to the blood moon triggering at weird times because there's a spawning glitch that occurred. It exists just to idiot-proof the game.

[@LonelySpaceDetective]

I think that's true as far as its implementation in the final game (I actually wonder what would happen if you forced the game to let you drop the actual Master Sword, and not a duplicated one), but the fancy animation to me suggests that they had something else planned. My guess is that the Master Sword once was able to be dropped, and under circumstances where any other item would despawn it would just fly back to the Korok Forest. The animation seems like it was designed to be easily visible from a distance to me, and as is it would be rather jarring to see in the middle of an attack ("did my sword just fly out of my hand?") so I don't think it was for when it broke.

[@PrimmsHoodCinema]

[@samstallings4198]

I think that originally the Master Sword in BotW had a limited amount of energy, and if the player kept using it even in its depleted state, the game would “penalize” the player by making them go and retrieve it again.

[@actuallykiro6998]

i think it was just to idiot proof the game. Nintendo has done a lot of stupid things and made a lot of stupid features but thats beyond them

[@QueenofSilence101]

Now that would make for a solid "challenge mode" mod. (Ab)use the Master Sword too much, then it leaves and you have to go all the way to the forest to get it back again.

[@SableGear]

"The Master Sword has returned to the forest" feels similar to how we have to return to particular towns to reforge any of the Champion weapons if they break. Comparatively though, retrieving the Master Sword probably wouldn't cost rupees and gems like repairing a Champion weapon, just time and patience.

One thing I haven't heard anyone mention before is that OoT's credits theme (or rather, a shortened version) is already in Minish Cap (as the enemies across Hyrule are clearing up, post Vaati fight). I've always thought that the Lost Woods theme found in the files was simply originally going to be incorporated into the rest of that credit theme. Why it's a seperate file entirely I'm not sure in the slightest though. Anyway, great video, man!

[@sirtroba]

The beginning part of Zeldas Lullaby bit from OoT’s credits is also in Minish Cap as the beginning of this game’s version of Zelda’s Theme, which to my knowledge they haven’t used anywhere else in any other games. Perhaps they made a few covers of OoT songs using Minish Caps music engine early in development just for placeholders, but kept a few in the final product in the end?

[@isabellebaker5615]

Maybe the screaming sound clip and the ruined island are connected. Like after you get both the earth and the fire pearls, you go to that ruined island but it isn’t ruined yet. You complete the dungeon but as you go to get the water pearl, ganon destroys the island and attacks the water spirit after which you get an animation of him swimming away. So you then have to travel to where the water spirit is now and he laughs in surprised happiness because he thought you died. Then he gives you the water pearl.

Idk why but I want the last one to be real because I think it would look cool. Instead of it returning to the forest. That's the animation for breaking and you keep the master sword. Just a cool concept I think.

[@coreyreynolds3585]

I wonder if the Master Sword animation was originally intended for when you get shocked and would normally drop your weapon. This would keep you from losing it or an enemy picking it up to use against you. The fact that dropping electrically charged bows might be related. Although I can't remember what happens now if you're shocked while holding it; you don't let go?

[@shawnconey7151]

i wish i could datamine games and find this stuff, I love all this lost/unused content.

[@byronlyons3548]

Honestly, the glitch that let's you drop the Master Sword for that hidden animation is awesome, in more than just letting you see something you don't see during normal gameplay. It allows you to duplicate weapons, transform them, and transfer durability between your weapons. The last one being very great. Like say if you want to have the Royal Guard weapons (like the Claymore one, as it's 116 atk from bonus is the highest in the game), but instead of durability of a wet paper, it has the durability like the Savage Lynel gear. Or even better, durability of Spring Loaded Hammer that is 80 (highest in base game, no amiibo needed), or Biggoron Sword with durability up bonus that makes it 111.

[@haydes1285]

I feel like gortron would’ve been a mini boss on the first climb of death mountain while gorons were still hostile

[@porkypy]

I have a theory about the Dropping Master Sword glitch. Maybe the Master Sword would have returned to the Lost Woods when you it ran out of energy. You probably wouldn’t have to go back to the Lost Woods to get it, that would be a hassle. It probably would’ve teleported back to you, like the Thor’s Mjolinir.

[@Giose]

I would've loved to see the master sword returning to the forest animation in the game, but maybe they could've changed the mechanic, making it so the sword returns on a similar way (flying to link)

[@Multiple_bread]

That unused music in minish cap is honestly a banger

[@judaiyuki5597]

i wish the "master sword going back to the korok forest" animation was still used and the sword actually going to the forest but instead of the master sword dying every 5 minutes give it the same durability as the hylian shield or maybe even just half to make up for the permanent power up form the trial of the sword

[@0.Phaethon]

and the scream is probably what would happen if you were to defeat him

[@kabobawsome]

I think the "returns to the forest" thing probably was what was originally going to happen, but was left in as a fail-safe, so if anyone DOES find a way to drop it, it's predictably recoverable.

[@lacintag5482]

I believe the Goron Golem was a test for a Jalhalla-like boss made out of smaller enemies that arrange into a bigger one. The Gorons were used a placeholder model before the final design.

[@TwitchWasHere]

I freakin' love videos about the scrapped/unused stuff in games. I desperately want to see a game in a long running series like Zelda or Final Fantasy or some such that is primarily forged from all the functional (so maybe not the Master Sword returning to the forest in the case of this video) unused assets/stories/characters/enemies/weapons/mechanics/etc from previous games in its series.
