Understanding Breath of the Wild's Multiple Endings
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is a modern classic of a game, but all good games must have an ending, and I believe Breath of the Wild actually has four of them. Nintendo has created a game with multiple endings in an attempt to reach as many players as possible, and in this video I will explain why each of these endings are significant and unique.

Ending 5: child of the forest, you've done nothing but find all 900 korok seeds
Like literally, all you have in your inventory is 4 spirit orbs and a paraglider, and 900 korok seeds of course.

Nope there’s a glitch that lets you skip the sheikah slate
And golden poop.

"Cook of The Wild"
Ran straight for Ganon with a ladle and pot lid
thanks for the idea
i tried once and died on his first attack lmao
I shall try
Ah, so you played "Legend of Zelda: Chef of the Wild", then.
Or you never beat the game and got distracted cooking.
“Dozens of hours collecting seeds, and for what? Poop?”
Seems you don’t get the joke... You didn’t just spend dozens of hours collecting seeds, you spent dozens of hours collecting smaller poops.
Yes yes, but they have realesed a article saying breath of the wild 2 is coming so I believe it will all connect and you'll get something really cool in BTW2

@@dazzilingcupcake hahahahahahahah ya right
@@paulorozco1105 🤷🏻♀️
@@dazzilingcupcake youll get jar full of multiple bigger poops
The poop is one of the best puns in games. In order to get said poop you have to literally play the sh*t out of the game
dudeitotallyrock2 never thought of it that way! Pretty much on the nose.
Actually the poop looks like three korok seeds on top of each other
You have to look for 999 pieces of poop just to get a bigger piece of poop
The Japanese phrase "good luck" is so close to sounding like "golden poop" that it became a bit of a joke in Japanese culture that gold poop will grant you luck
What it takes to get to the bathroon in public
I did not know that the secret ending was secret... I just thought that finding all memories and freeing the divine beasts was something you had to do to defeat ganon
Lmao yeah, I felt like (still do) it was the obvious thing to do.
All you need to do to defeat ganon is get the paraglider
I knew it was an option, but I love finding out the story and lore of all games I play
Same
Same here I also thought you needed the iconic green tunic and I spent hours trying to find that before stepping foot in front of Ganon. I really wanted to look the part. I finally broke and decided to fight him thinking I'd get it after the fight. I learned later you get it for completing the shrines 😪
Champions: die protecting divine beast

That is the true ending
Live a happy life with the gay dude who you bought the house from
Oml this comment and the replies to the comment just killed me XD mostly because I the the whole home over quest and decided to stay in hateno village and give up XD

“Calamity Ganon Has Been Defeated”
*Botw 2 Gets Announced*
Ganon: “I... am inevitable”
Shark Assassin “I..am..Zelda”
Link: "You can rest now"
Nathaniel Winchester okay, but like, why is that a concept I’m actually interested in being executed

And I am Link
Was it just me or was fighting ganon actually way easier than expected. I had WAY more difficulties fighting thunderblight lol
It was u and that’s amazing…
Hi I’m from NASA. Your easy defeat of ganon is super impressive We have an opening in our rocket science division and want you to be in charge. Do you have time this week to chat about your future? I really look forward to hear from you
Yeah it was way easier than I thought.
True I'm mad at myself for doing it 4th
Thunder blight makes me just want to wait and buy arrows at a place I can. Thunderblight is pain. I died 9398398 times
It's was absolutely a lot easier than expected, especially when beating all Devine beasts
Ending 6: Run Away-Mid Ganon fight when you get the light bow you just run away from Ganon and take the bow of light.
bruh i just did the fight and for the first 5 mins kept shooting gannon with my savage lynel bow and shock arrows XD until i realized i need to switch over to the bow of light

Casual gamer in me: all you get is poop for collecting all 900 Korok seeds? That's a lot of work for nothing.
Completionist in me: I want that poop.
True
Even though that's that reward, I still want to get all Korok seeds. Because when it comes to Zelda games, I have an uncontrollable urge to get everything.
Yeah the rewards for getting all korok seeds in the game was pure shit
They are poop.
Soo true, before this I didnt now you got anything for collecting all korok seeds so I wasn't planning on doing it, but now...
I NEED THAT POOP
Imagine how pissed revali must’ve been to be bested by one of the easiest bosses in the game only for link to beat it without getting hit once.
angry KFR noises
KFR- Kentucky Fried Rito
Each of the blight Ganons was designed specifically to defeat the champions they killed
Link is way beyond their ability to defeat
I like that the extra collections wasn't necessary. Imagine how much flak they'd catch if there was some awesome, amazing discovery at the end of collecting all 900 korok seeds. Like the ability to upgrade your weapons so they never break or something like that. A lot more people would feel like they HAD to slog through it to enjoy the game at the end.
exactly! acknowledging the effort with a trophey item (a useless but celebratory reminder of your achievement) certainly does praise the player for the work they put in, but as you mentioned, handing out a huge boon like that would totally make people feel like they were missing out. that's why achievements exist on many gaming platforms; to acknowledge you did a thing without making you feel like you HAVE to do said thing.
I agree but ffs at least don't give us literal shit, id be happy if hetsu gave us his Maracas as a useless weapon but weapon nonetheless, or just as a trophy, for the compendium maybe you get a secret memory thats just link and Zelda laughing and having a good time. Something nobody needs or feels like they would need to do to enjoy the game, but they would feel like it was worth it
@@CommissarPhantom Yeah, given the enormous amount of time/effort involved in getting all 900, the player really should get more than a turd. I mean, at least make it a _magical_ turd or something 😊.
@SSGDrake3489 I disagree.......after 100 or so seed with 0 reward I would just assume the biggest reward at the end would be something ridiculous but not powerful the korok puzzles are simply and abundant and if they mad only 451 available and required finding them ALL in a large open world would be twice as tedious because most of ur time would be spent searching for 1 last seed to buff you a bit more instead of 449 useless extras to fill out 100% it was a filler arc that needed enough availability to to get the play to feel rewarded for exploration but not reward obsessive compleationism .
EG: fethers in assasins creed literally guve u agro armor that makes the game harder....would have been hilarious if hestu had WIPED the map of all puzzles and peices so travel became less familiar or something but no just a golden gut gummy for the gilded gamers
i like to think my link found all his memories, freed the divine beasts, defeated the calamity, and then retired to his house in Hateno village.
Now he and Zelda are going to have to take care of Ganondorf lol.

"No two journeys through Hyrule are the same"
The speedrunning community would like a word with you.
Nope, there was a difference of about 3 seconds... that changes everything about it!
Even if the strategies are the same, that statement is true 🤷♀️
Nuvakwahu it's possible to have two runs ending with the same frame, just unlikely
Yup no way I'm a villain
Thought of that too!
I think the name "King of Calamity" is fitting as the player relies on Calamity Ganon's existence to complete worthless tasks. Instead of killing the giant evil thing that is murdering and oppressing all of Hyrule, the player purposely leaves him because his death would make his monsters and evil changes disappear and ruin his/her obsessive hunt for completion. It paints Link as this selfish monster who would leave all of Hyrule in danger for years just to complete his collections.
Ngl I thought this is what he was gonna say when he said king of calamity like someone who let's ganon thrive forever until they're done

Whistleblower ending.
Oh whoops, forgot about that trick
Could've really used that when I was exploring Upland Zorana :/
its fixed on the newer versions of the game
Hetsu's golden turds actually have some significance! I was in Japan once and in many gift shops you can find golden poops in the form of keychains or phone charms and whatnot. I asked what they meant, and apparently the phrases for "Good luck" and "Gold poop" are so similar they're used as puns to wish friends good luck on an exam or something. So, Hetsu is wishing the completionist good luck! But that pun is completely lost on the rest of the world so it's more a funny "screw you" than anything lmao
It's a Japanese culture joke that they intentionally leave in, because they know most other people don't understand what it's supposed to mean, and laugh at people confused about it.
Meanwhile, my juvenile sense of humor: hehehe poop

Ending 5: Time traveler: Find the master sword and find all 12 memories *after* you beat ganon
I used to want to get the last ending you mentioned. I used to climb every single mountain, explore every single corner, get every single chest and Korok seed, the first 80 hours it was fun, the following 120 it had become an obsession. At that moment I got tired of playing Breath of the Wild and stopped playing. It was until recently, two years after dropping it, that I decided to continue playing, but without trying to get everything this time. Although I did get all the memories and shrines, it felt much better to play like that and I had so much fun. It's a shame that because of my completionist habit I ruined myself such an amazing experience, but that taught me a lesson and that is that I discovered that I enjoy games better without being obsessed with completionism.
I was like you, except it took longer for me to realise it ain't worth it. It's just not fun. My last play session, I just rushed to get the last couple memories and 10 or so Shrines done with, then defeated Ganon. I took multiple breaks since I started in 2017.
Me: peacefully playing breath of the wild after beating the boss

*looks out window and sees link in his boxer shorts with 3 hearts and one stamina bar*
Ganon: OH NO!
I spent 3 years preparing for the fight with ganon because I thaught he was gonna be mega tough, but when I actually got to the fight, I defeated him in a matter of seconds. I didn’t even eat any food despite having a full inventory of full recovery+ meals
3 YEARS?!?
Bro I just beat the game in a few days you're tripping fr after the 4 beast it literally tells you you're ready to fight him regardless
Yeah I spent a good year playing; about 180 hours getting every seed (I came across), doing most every side quest (weapon connesiur and Royal Stallion can kma), and all the shrines just for it to be a piñata fight.
Was cool but I definitely expecting a bigger dungeon, more bosses, or like 1-3 more phases to the fight. Stasis+, armor, and some food was all you need ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Too be fair I’m an over preparer as once I roll credits I know I’ll have 0 motivation to pick up the game again
I really hate the how when you do defeat calamity ganon, you have to play in a save file before the fight even started! I think it would open up much more possibilities if Nintendo made it so you could venture in a post-calamity world.
Yeah but it'd turn into an entirely different game, as his monsters would either all have to disappear or they would have to not respawn when killed, thereby leaving no conflict. It would be a peaceful game that could very well be quite enjoyable for a lot of players, but it would be an entirely different game. Calamity Ganon is what adds conflict.
Yeah I agree but people would probably kill ganon before realising that you end the game that way because they wanted to fully complete the game
They could have and added some minor post-game side quests but I’m actually glad that I wasn’t able to go back in and play because it kind of forced me not to obsess over getting every little thing in the game.
@@elilundgreen645could've easily had the gamgs still have their groups and beast and shrines to fight I mostly ran past enemies along the way to the real story anyway but it's a zelda game and that's just protocol
Why does everyone complain about this.. no Zelda game HAS EVER let u see what the world is like post Gannon fight. They always load the game to right before the fight. ALWAYS.
Getting all the seeds is “ guy who hates himself”
really felt like there should've been something more to that quest
like i dunno, that giant wrekt tree getting a bit revamp , instead its just got skeletons on it and a camp fire
I hate myself too
Or the guy with a hacked switch who can just turn them on 😄

Bahahahahaha
I personally have been through all of them (though I’m in the process of becoming a king of calamity.) When I started playing I didn’t like the thought of having to do all the divine beasts so I geared up, watched some tutorials and killed ganon. After that I left the game for some time and once one of my friends started playing it I picked it up again. After seeing him have a different ending I asked him how, he told me, and I did it, collecting all the memories and finishing the divine beasts and killing ganon for the second time. I was hooked to the game after that, I explored, did quests and after many many hours finished all shrines. I thought the game was over and my adventure had come to a sad stop but then I wanted to get al quests done, and I did. Then I wanted to get all armor to the max, and after hours of resource gathering I did. I was hooked again and I’m still collecting korok seeds and honestly the amount of things left for me to do can be counted on one hand. I’m still working for that golden poop though. I love this game and I have 400 hours on it and one of my favorite feelings is when you see another person, new to the game explore and adventure. It’s also fun to brag to them but no need for that. Anyways I love this game sosososo much and can’t wait for the sequel.

The game has always been about the journey and not the destination. Most times I don’t even fast travel. I love riding my horse through Hyrule and seeing the scenery. I’ve told myself once that I just love the journey. I love the hard work. No matter the prize. It takes awhile but I love it that way. I get to fully experience the game. This game has lived higher than my expectations could have ever imagined. I love it so much
i've been a perfectionist since i was a child. i HAD to complete games 100% before beating the final bosses.
this night, after 250 hours of me finding all 900 koroks, completing all side quests and shrines, finding all memories and collecting every single gear, i did it: i've beaten calamity ganon.
it took me a year and a half, but i'm satisfied with myself. the compendium and dlcs are also completed, i just need to fight all the mobs for kilton and i'm officially done. it was such a nice journey even though i'm definitely not gonna do it again in master mode

Wait taking all of them oh no I ATE SOME
Look, I'll admit that I'm usually a completionist when it comes to Zelda games (I do every side quest, talk to every character, explore everywhere possible, collect every item, etc), but in the case of BOTW I *REFUSE* to collect 900 Korok seeds. Some of those Koroks are in some strange ass places and you only need 451 to complete your inventory upgrades. I don't know if I'll do Kilton's mini-quests but I've completed the compendium and that was more so I'd have an easier time finding things in the wild than it was to satisfy the completionist in me.
I understand where your coming from
But I disagree with the last “ending”
Being a completioniste isn’t a bad thing
This is how I think of it:
Someone finishes the story but enjoyed the game so much they don’t want it to end just yet.
This is where the extra quests come in
Small quests here and there as people continue exploring this vast world Nintendo created.
They’re not meant to be done in one go although they can be
The rewards you get aren’t really rewards which makes sense since the side quests, korok seeds, compendium, etc. are optional and are supposed to be fun little things to do while exploring
Even though the story has ended doesn’t mean the adventure has to. I agree that 900 korok seeds is a lot but doing a little at a time will slowly accumulate until the goal is met. And doing a side quest, helping someone out is always satisfactory (at least for me).
So personally I would rather call the last ending Explorer of Hyrule
This is my opinion so I understand if some would disagree
I was like:
Oh, I’m a Champion
Wait- No, I’m a Hero of the Wild.
No, no, no- I’m actually a King of Calamity.
Same
Me tho
It took forever but I’m 3
Wait I’m 4
Same
the reward for 100% (or "dedicated completionist") isnt the in-game reward, but the satisfaction that you feel when you're done "OK. Now, I KILLED the game."
Master mode remains
Or the super broke ones who cant afford a new game
@@daniah5427 lol, well idiots like this can make a new video. "This is Nintendo veiled message to make more money to consume more of their products that they will crap in your face because you enjoy playing the game because its the only one you have. Of course if you enjoyed it to a point you wanted to explore everywhere and find everything, you're a loser." That's what I got from this. I still play OoT, imo best Zelda came ever made. I love looking around and finding things because I dont want the game to end.
@@fyou9182 whoa dude chill, I only said that bec I was too broke to get a new game so I played botw to death, i love the game too btw
I would call myself a King of Calamity, knowing that I’ve completed all the main quests, side quests, shrine quests, and memories, all 120 shrines, all the dlc, and mastered killing lynels for fun, but no. I have only found a whopping 160 koroks seeds. And that’s because I see the korok seeds as a little more pointless. Not to say that the developers didn’t put a ton of time into creating each puzzle, but I don’t want to spend hours of my time finding 740 more of those things. However, the next challenge I am going to face will be master mode. Then I can call myself the 5th ending (like how Link is the 5th champion), the Master of Hyrule.
I think the reason the reward for completionist was so low is because they didn’t want people who didn’t have the time or effort to do that to feel left out, but put a sentimental thank you to the dedicated out there

“It’s all about the journey, not the destination.”
That’s not very good advice on the way to the ER.
It actually is
Seymor Onion
I dunno buddy, I know I’d prefer to haul ass to the ER than drive around a bit and suffer, possibly die.
@@narrenitsuwaru8052 It's still about the journey even in your example. For your example, the "journey" involves getting to the ER ASAP. That's still a journey, and it's still all about the journey. Because if you haul ass to the ER and the ambulance crashes into a tree or another car, your journey probably ends.
Bill Sutherby
But, uh...the destination is still the main issue. If I end up at the cinema, and I’m dying in an ambulance, I’m dead. When they say “it’s all about the journey, not the destination,” means that the end destination does not matter, it doesn’t even really matter if you get there. You can’t really call it a journey when you’re dying on a gurney.
Also, if the ambulance crashes into a tree, the guy driving is probably dying with me, so yeah, I’d rather hurry up the drive. The end destination of the hospital is much more important than the journey you have getting there. In this case, getting there is the most important thing, not _how_ you got there.

Nintendo: "I'm about to ruin this man's whole career."
Wasn't it "end"?
Welp koroks are back in age of calamity
I wonder what’s the reward this time.......Deku tree’s gift?
Yeah, Hestu gifting you his golden turds
That was a great video, I finished BOTW and was really disappointed with the ending, but this helped me understand the message. Thanks!
I'm disappointed with the ending, but in this game it's not about the ending it's about the journey.
This video has added so much to my understanding of this game that I keep coming back once in a while!!
I thought the 4th ending was gonna be:
You got bored and stopped playing so Ganon won
The true champion:
Bring a lynel to Ganon
Joel Pais if you manage to survive the Lynal and bringing him to calamity ganon
If only cuccos didn't disappear when you brought them down into calamity Ganon's pit. The ultimate champion throws a bird at people and watches them suffer!
Joel Pais 👋
No bring a Guardian
The even truer champion, fighting a lynel at the begining of the game before you have armor, I did it naked... with sticks.. craziest accomplishment Ive ever done, I hadnt even played before then and i hadnt done anything harder after but I vowed id do it when a friend dared me and boy did i surprise them. I 100 percented everything but the koroks even the dlc and hardmode and ive never had anything that hard since. I have tried it with the gold lynels in hardmode but its ACTUALLY impossible since they heal faster than you can hurt them unless you have good gear
Love this video! Great work!
Ending 5: stop now pls
This ending is based on collecting every chest, talk to all the npcs, and 100% complete the 2 dlcs
Plus upgrading all armour, all horse sets, collecting all armour, all sidequests, shrines, divine beasts, master sword, memories, Koroks, Hyrule compendium, all crackable rocks bombed, and all ice melted, along with all chests in shrines
@@troyuher1218 oof
>"There's no wrong ending
>Sequel with an established canon is announced
Me tryna 100% botw
This is gonna be easy
195 hours later
ONLY 40%
Well 100% counts with the compendium, so, yikes lol!
Compendium aint that hard
@@lolkrieger3977 not necessarily hard, but still, you need to think about it, and since bosses are part of it, if you forget, then you're screwed. Plus the fact that you need to collect every type of element from every insect to every mushroom, and every sword, bow and shield, every npc. So yeah, not that easy actually.
The compendium was damn hard till I decided to just buy em all
so true...
I love this video so much. Honestly the best Breath of the Wild video I have seen.
I waited 4 years to watch this video bc despite this being one of my favorite games in 2019, getting me interested in the rest of zelda and making me play through the entirety of multiple of them, I kept putting off the ending! But now that the sequels come out I just beat the boss and can finally watch this video that's been sitting in my playlists for years XD
I did the “true ending” all on accident
I couldnt not complete the memories, the empty spaces would just annoy me lmao.
Me too
Same
I was close, just a couple memories short of it in my first playthrough. Then I learned about the "True Ending" and set of to achieve it.
Just 1. 1 memory was absolutely unreachable for me. The one in a forest, with no clear landmarks. Memory 16, I think. It was the only, single time I've given up and checked GameFAQs in my 100+ hours journey.
I still have no idea how could someone genuinely find that one.
@@wojciechmuras553 yeah, that's a tough one
8:08 "Ok. Maybe Lynels are more difficult than Ganon." *cries on very first death when dealing with a Lynel*
Ending 5: the bad ending "Runner of the Wild", spend multiple months speedrunning BotW trying to get a world record, and give up after many months feeling sad
the last two aren't endings, they're optional rewards that are disconnected from the last cutscene...
He referred to them as stopping points, and remarked that the second one is referred as the true ending
me: omg killing ganon was hard, this was the final ending tho
ganon: there is another
Have you ever killed a lynel?
I mean those guys aren’t hard but they are harder than Ganon
@@f.b.i.853 those guys are almost too easy. TOO EASY.
Hehehe. Try killing calamity ganon on master mode with only 2 bows. Once they run out you're screwed because the "healing over time" thing is a killer once you get to ganon
Was easy
@@meking1808 who uses bows against calamity ganon? i just flurry rush and parry lol
Theres another ending: The True Hero of the Wild. Its one that skips over calamity king, and comes from the Hero of the Wild. Its for those who play the game not to complete everything, but to see the world, learn the people, and to truly be a hero. Trying to help everyone, while also creating a story for themselves. This ending is achieved only by those with imagination, and for those with a true love of the game. Thats how i see it at least, and im happy with myself for being one.
That's what I wanna do. There's so many things to do and people and stories. Seeking to explore it all and finding more than you thought is truly an engrossing adventure.
same here, I am working towards that goal, helping those in need, (and saving horses who are stuck with bokoblins on them, I mean I would imagine that making the horse gallop all the time hurts it so I dont stand for that)
Yeah never gonna be me. I hit ppl after doing their quest
Here’s your participation trophy 🏆
"You spend hours taking pictures of everything"
*me who bought all of them*
Thing is though, going back to the “it’s not about the destination” thing, what real use would you have for a really good reward after you’ve completed everything?
Dumbass of the wild: that one guy who never left the great plateau
More like Camper of the wild
But... but I do want to do EVERYTHING. I'm... I'm just taking my time.
Edit: The value on commenting early. Thanjs for the likes
I'm not gonna do all of it, like the seeds and compendium, but I want to finish all the quests, upgrade the wild armor fully, and get Epona. Then I can go into the fight like true link, instead of wearing mismatched cloths and binging raw meat to get through.
@@yanwittmann You really had patience to collect all those seeds
I just need like 700-800 Korok seeds left and I think a medal or two from the hinoxes, taluses, and Mdugas
It's been a while since I played so I forget what it was officially called but my horse was max level companionship and it made the ending great
@@Michaela_ZC You do know you need the smash link amiibo to get Epona, right?
Beautiful video🔥
I (for reasons unknown) just kinda started playing this like 3 months ago. I'm 230 hours in. Nearly everything but koroks of which I have more than 440 but haven't done the major stuff like most of Hyrule Castle, all 4 Divine Beast Ganon and the 900 koroks.
Thought I was gonna get all of them b4 beating the main quests until now.
I'm glad I watched this. I've been putting these quests off, mindlessly playing for weeks. I have the DLC so I know there's more.
Glad I watched this. Thanks man!
“Trinkets from a homeless man”
Lol
Who was the homeless man? Sorry, I haven't played this game in a year and I don't remember those trinkets.
Rachel Moon kilton the monster shop guy
@@emilipesta4700 Thank you!
Actually it’s “Medal of Honor”
I'm basically going for the hero of the wild collected all the memories, almost all 120 shrines, got the master sword, and also just enjoying it. I like being that one weird person who gets worried about what the characters in a video game do when I do something bad. I like being friends with like everybody. I also have the Divine beasts all done. I want to try to upgrade every armor piece to the max for some reason, max of 88 defence points( champion's tunic, 32, and soldier's helm and greaves,28 each, or ancient helm and greaves. Fully upgraded.) Max stamina and trying to get 27 hearts, 16 currently. I've been playing since around March this year.
But this is just my way of playing.
Also don't know why I commented this.
Peeky Gaming getting close to the calamity of the wild or atleast the malice of the wild😜
Same but with 25 hearts.
I worry about the character’s feelings too and I immediately got all the memories bc I was like I DONT WANT ZELDA TO BE SAD
I am also trying to finish it rn, and I think I'm going to end up somewhere between Hero of the Wild and King of Calamity. It's not that I'm a perfectionist really, I just can't get enough of this world and it's mechanics. I also know once I complete the story I won't have that main goal to look forward to anymore if I finish it now. Thus why I'm avoiding Gannon and the last memory I need at Hyrule castle 'till I've had my fill on shrine challenges & sidequests and leveled up Link's wardrobe among many other things 😂
emojilivez17 ye I got sad when my first horse couldn’t cross a river so I left him there and got depressed
this video is oddly poetic and comforting.. thank you!
"30h or 5"
Me: 105h playtime still not done
Botw: *has 2 endings*
NIKMOE: *+2 card*
Adleast I'm not the only one who is still thinking about Botw even if it's a couple years old 😂
That's just how good the game is ^3^ I still havent found all the shrines but to be fair I got the game only last year.
Tanya Kwankis i got the game on christmas :0
I'll get it this week. Wanna enjoy the journey before the sequel comes out :)
I only got it last week. ^_^;
I've only had the game for a few months, and I found enough shrines to have 26 hearts and two full stamina wheels
You are a true gamer and that's why you understood the last ending
Today you got a new subscriber my friend thanks for the explanation and keep rolling them videos
Ending 5: You never bought the game and so Link never awakens. Zelda's power go off and Ganon destroys the world.
My ending is the "true" one, or in your words, the champion's. As I'm not a fan of collectables I looked up what the reward for the seeds is and had a good laugh.
To say you're becoming the king of evil for collecting all is a bit of a stretch, but the message of the rewards is clear: dude, you had fun while it lasted but move on!
It fits into Nintendo's philosophy so well because they want you to have fun first and foremost. Labo sets, break warnings, no in-game purchases..and then you let yourself fixated on the game only to get all the stuff with repetitive chores?
Stop playing and start having fun again!
GreenHeart I agree take undertale for example you get all the endings then you save genocide for last beat come back to undertale even tho you 100% it and then the game tries to say this with chara:"dude you got everything you wanted why are you here again there is nothing left for you"
Edit: basically the moral of ending 4 is this: nothing will last forever so enjoy it with the time you have left before times up
I’m going for hero. I’m thinking of playing for fun and messing around afterwards.
@@MeboDotExe, basically me.
You only saying that cause you dont have the skill to play 100% im a proud King of Calamity
(pls dont take it serious everyone has his own playstyle and the first thing like you said is having fun. For me it isnt about a physical reward in the game. The reward is to have collected it all so i can say i played this game full and didnt miss one thing.)
10:25 "The worlds largest to do list"
Dude, do you watch anime?
Spin Lord This is so relatable, it hurts.
Summed up:
Ending 1: Go to Calamity Ganon and kill him. (Rewarded with End Cutscene)
Ending 2: Basically Ending 1, except first collect the Master Sword, free the 4 Divine Beasts, and collect all 13 Hidden Memories. (Rewarded with True Ending Cutscene)
Ending 3: Ending 2, except also complete all 120 shrines. (Rewarded with Hero Outfit)
Ending 4: Ending 3, except also collect all 900 Korok Seeds, and fill out the Hyrule Compendium. (Rewarded with 2 completely useless key items)
6:00 Ending 3+ if you get the master cycle because the dlc could be completed as soon as you have access to it.
especially since that last fight is harder than ganon
"The Shrines are where Breath of the Wild's most difficult puzzles are."
*Laughs in speedrunner*
Cries in _Eventide Island_
@@esmooth919 eventide is really easy to exploit
I'm a Hero of the Wild!
Seeing Link finally have his green tunic after getting all 120 shrines was so satisfying. Upgrading that armor and then using it as the default was so rewarding!
Completionist: *Gets everything*
Nintendo: Ummm, ok? Here, take this golden crap and something that is quiet possibly a nude to say you completed it.
Man, it's a good thing that 6 years after it came out I finally got around to getting a switch and beating it with all the memories and beasts, or else I'd have had some of the fun taken away with those spoilers from 4 years ago.
5:40 bro.. 120 shrines? I know of like, 75 tops. I thought I was so close to finishing those up.
