Not an easter egg from another game, but I noticed something humorous in Gerudo Town. In the romance school, there are male "dummies" used for practice (I'd assume). In one of the houses in town, you can find one propped up next to someone's bed.

[@EnigmaBarry]

@@clco1253 Sword and Shield weren't rushed because of fans. Game Freak could've easily delayed their game. But Nintendo/TCPI wanted to meet a Christmas release and to push console sales. Then there's the fact that Pokemon is not just two games but a franchise. As a franchise, there are many different parts than just the Games, (The Anime, TCG, Plushes/Shirts/Merchandise, Manga, etc). All of these rely on the video games coming out on time, as they're either a commercial for video games (The Anime) or they rely on the video games for profit.

Eventide is a beautiful reference to Link's Awakening, as you explained so well. But it also reminds me a lot of Crescent Island in Oracle of Ages. You get there after your raft is struck by lightning and the Tokay (local lizard people) steal all your equipment, so you have to recover each item from them. I guess Crescent Island itself is also a reference to LA, now that I think about it.

[@iamnoone21]

I loved coming across all these references to places from past games, names that are familiar but recognizably different...discovering them, trying to place where you'd heard them and why this word would have survived in this form, really felt like triggering forgotten memories from a hundred years ago (a hundred lives ago...)

It's a small cosmetic reference, exactly the kind you said you wouldn't mention in the video, but I really found it wholesome when I saw Mikau and Lulu Lakes right next to one another. There's also a Gero Lake in Death Mountain, where all the locations named after Gorons are, which I'm fairly certain is meant to reference Don Gero's Mask and how a Goron is wearing it when you first see it.

[@alexanderking8081]

One of my favorites is the reference to Lon Lon milk in Geroudo town. There is this bar that you can go to, and upon speaking to the barkeep she says that your are two young to drink because link is so short. She asks what do you want, and one of the dialogue options link can answer is “Milk”

[@artsyfoxie]

I know many people probably already know this, but if you talk to Shamae in Tears of the Kingdom she mentions the land in the clouds again, happily exclaiming that it’s real and semi-explaining how to reach the Sky Islands. One of the easy ways you can reach these islands is using recall on one of the falling rocks, hinted by a Gerudo woman who you can find hanging out under the cherry tree just east of Hyrule Castle town.

I'm actually playing Breath of the Wild as I am posting this an I just found something that brought me some nostalgia. This may be my own personal reflection, but I am wandering around and found "Chumin", who says "Lurelin Village is a very simple, sleepy town. They play this traditional treasure-chest game of chance there. Takes me back to my childhood for some reason." This struck up some memories for me because it reminded me of playing A Link to the Past as a child. It had 2 chest games, 1 in Kakariko village and another in the lost woods. Though I know there were more Zelda games that features chest minigames, it was mostly the older ones, and that was the one that stuck out to me the most. His dialogue is kind of a nod to veteran players of the series. I just thought I'd comment on that.

Are we gonna talk about how there's a glamorshot photo of Ganondorf in Ingo's room before you get Epona? Its on his bed mantle

[@finnbaxter9014]

You're incredible for not only putting a spoiler warning but also how long the spoiler was, thank you!

[@3rdDimensionFox]

I’ve got a cool theory with evidence to back it up. Is there a way I could speak with you about it? It’s the true origins of malice. And how it’s an entirely separate entity from ganon that’s using him as a puppet.

[@brianna7705]

It’d probably be better to talk to him on Twitter ( twitter.com/Zeltik )or Instagram ( @zeltikinsta ). KZbin comments are very unreliable.

[@cracklinoatbrand7798]

I’ve seen a video of that exact theory on NitendoBlackCrisis Channel

[@3rdDimensionFox]

@@cracklinoatbrand7798 link?

[@cracklinoatbrand7798]

Tydin just search Nintendoblackcrisis malice and it should be the first video to pop up

As such a huge Zelda fan and who has played various Zelda games Not long ago was I was able to get my hands on Breath of the Wild. I was of course, very excited to see references on my own and I loved watching this video knowing that I wasn't the only who noticed but also finding out that there was some references that I haven't noticed before. I have yet to complete Breath of the Wild, and watching your videos makes me fall in love with the game even more than I already was. I grew up playing Zelda games and so seeing all of these references is like something out of an old memory which is so fitting since this Link is also trying to remember things from the past.

The balloon girl may actually realize her dream, as sky islands are in botw 2

[@melissad4976]

Thank you so much for this video Zeltik! It's amazing that even after a couple years of playing BotW you are still able to find and show me Easter eggs I would have never noticed myself. Thanks so much for all your hard work, and happy New year!

1:09 Ever since playing Halo, every time I hear Arbiter will make me think of the Arbiter.

[@edwardwong4883]

Turns out Shamae wasn't recalling the past, but seeing the future with the E3 2021 trailer for BoTW 2.

[@calebp6114]

We need some more Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess videos!

[@Toemasje]

If you go to Hino in dueling peaks stable during a full moon, he says: "Tonight is a full moon... Looks like it could come falling down any minute", what is probably a reference to Majora's Mask!

[@weegee3785]

Aww come on he mentionned the loftwings and floating island from skyward sword with the little girl but not the star fragment she gives you being a ref to the gratitude crystals?

[@UndernetChara]

I honestly never noticed the Zelda's Lullaby easter egg in the Sanctum. Thanks Zeltik.

[@zackzhang6394]

This game is almost three years old. Wow

[@fernandofffff]

I love these kind of videos just as much as the theory videos. Please keep doing both. Love your channel.

[@QuiteSpiffing]

You can actually get to hear a reference to Zelda's lullaby whilst on horseback. If you ride your horse during daytime and accelerate the audio you'll be able to hear it clearly.

[@NoahRJitil]

The Monster Cake Easter Egg could also be a slight Star Wars reference; a Chancellor who is motivated by a cake that gives evil thoughts and motives definitely sounds Dark Side. The horns on the cake might even be related to Darth Maul?

[@eljaminlatour6633]

10:50 Zelda's lullaby in N64: left, up, right, left, up, right. In 3ds: X, A, Y, X, A, Y.

[@chadd990]

Eljamin Latour don’t leak cheat codes! Now everyone online will have them and it will ruin the game

[@plutonizm]

The A, X, Y, A, X, Y will live forever in my heart. The 3ds was the first game console I ever got.

[@eljaminlatour6633]

@@chadd990 that's how the song works in N64 and 3DS.

[@eljaminlatour6633]

@@plutonizm that's Epona's song.

[@alexanderking8081]

My favorite part is how everyone knows these songs and can tell the difference just by looking at X, A ,Y

[@samsheng832]

Wow think about that😂, Shamae could also be hinting the tears of the kingdom that would release 6 years later! Mind blowing 😮😮😮

[@katie-lg2pv]

WHAT IF SHAMAE WAS TALKING OABOUT TEARS OF THE KINGDOM??????

[@bld-11]

Definitely feels like it

[@flame666wolfspark3]

I think that the star fragments might be based off of gratitude crystals which makes the the concept of that kid giving you a star fragment even more interesting

[@GoFunYerSelf]

Well the land in the sky has a new meaning now that TotK is out hey?😅😅😅 coincidence? Idk, you tell me.

[@randomlink8700]

After watching the BOTW2 trailer, I have to wonder if the land in the sky is more than just a reference to Skyward Sword
