Same
I've already forgetten half the video.
I love this comment 😂
Forgetting the video while watching the video
@Polteacup same
Wait, wait wait... so, when Link goes around killing Guardians, is he still just breaking pots?
how does it feel to be the funniest person in this comment section?
I GASPED SO LOUD DUDE WTF
Hol up
He's speaking the language of the gods!
funniest shit ive ever read thank you
BOTW is so incredibly detailed that most NPC’s have daily schedules the follow.
Most notably is Koko from Kakariko Village who goes to her mother’s grave at 5am daily and cries. She’s startled out of it if Link gets too close.
You can follow just about any NPC and learn a lot about their character.
This could possibly be the most useful tip for helping to write more for the follow-up scripting. Thank YOU!
There's an NPC named Leekah who takes walks from Riverside Stable to Horwell Bridge. On the bridge, she'll get attacked by a Bokoblin. If you kill the Bokoblin, take the time to walk with her back to the stable, and then talk to her, she'll have unique dialogue where she thanks you and tells you that she feels safe with you.
It's really neat that they accounted for that scenario. Unfortunately I think she's the only NPC who gets this treatment. Still cool though!
Stalking people is my favorite hobby
I MEAN NPC'S-
I hate that npc cause she completely threw me off when doing the paya quest in kakariko
try playing rdr2
I think Zelda also stayed young because for those 100 years she was incorporeal, like a spirit trapped within Ganon. It’s kinda like how the Champions were stuck in their Beasts, except in Zelda’s case she was still alive. I mean, she does literally pop out of Ganon’s head.
I may have to use this info in the follow-up vid. Thanks!
yep this is my personal theory too, that she was basically in spirit form all that time or something like that.
no, zelda is the mortal form of goddess hylia
My theory is that because she was using her sealing power on gannon to keep him at the castle, she was also using the sealing power on herself. Not necessarily intentionally she just happened to get in the radius of it when she was using it on gannon
@@toristeunebrink5705maybe intentionally to be alive for a hundred years as that’s how long it takes link to heal. She might have known it would take this long or around this long, as she was very invested in ancient shiekah tech studies.
-There are only 3 situations for stamina auto-refilling while paragliding: when around a dragon, when attacking vah medoh, and when practicing in the flight range (not during the champion’s ballad quest).
-Mipha’s and Sidon’s names are spelled in the notes of their theme songs. Mipha: repeated notes are mi and fa. Sidon: repeated notes are si (basically ti; si is what they use in other languages) and do.
Thank you!
Adding in case someone is not familiar with this: It's based on the Solfège method in western music where the seven different notes in the standard Major scale are named _Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Si_ (it comes back to _Do_ after _Si_ but one octave up, that's how SiDo(n) is born)
Almost everyone in Zora's domain has names related to western notation, Dorephan, Remi, Clef, to name a few more.
@@dependsonwhosasking Do-re-fa for Dorephan...
That is super cool!!!
I had no idea about the ancient pottery guardian inspiration. That is sooo freaking cool.
Now it's time for the pots to break Link
My dad googled good switch games and bought me this game as a birthday present. I've never played zelda before this one. I wonder how many others got this game the same way i did
Your dad wins. Thats a hilarious way to get you a good present
Yeah my cousin did that too
Haha nice! I'm currently working on the 20 minute video and actually included this little bit in the script bc i thought it was a cute little anecdote
@@TheZeldaEnthusiast wow nice to hear it 😂
Omg so this is where the bit from the latest video came!! I love this
I didn't realise the cucco guy was trying to genetically engineer a chocobo into existence
He is IV breeding his Cuccos!
I think "The Legend of Zelda: Final Fantasy" would be a cool title!
@@RGC_animation What nature should I give my cucco?
@@peguin8290 Probably Modest
Everyone always says BotW is a timeline merge but I've always thought of it more as an inevitably on all timelines. Instead of all 3 merging into one its the same ending for all 3 timelines, separately
That's an interesting thought 🤔
As much as I do like this idea, I do believe that there's references to all the timelines scattered around the map
I don't think BotW is the Turn A Gundam of Zelda but now I wish it was, I love Turn A
One interesting little tidbit I found is that, if you hold ingredients and fall from a height (not enough to hurt Link, like a house's 2nd floor), Link will drop all on the floor, and if there's a bottle of milk, it will break! I got so sad when this happened xD
"You can spill milk, but it isnt worth crying over" lolol that's going in the script
eggs also break when you drop them on the ground
My favorite useless fact: near central tower there’s a VERY LARGE barrel and if link picks it up over his head he ends up basically wearing it, as there’s no bottom. You can’t use it to actually hide though, guardians can see through it. This is the only barrel on the map like it, the devs never used the asset anywhere else. Source: 500 hours of basically nothing but map exploration and korok hunting
*takes notes*
Thank you!
@@TheZeldaEnthusiast ok after actually physically going back and looking, it’s in the ruins NNW of the central tower, between the passeri greenbelt and giants forest
Awesome 👌 👏
Im so sorry to prove your "only barrel on the map like it" wrong but actually there is one near the old mans hut in the great plateau. Im just mentioning and not trying to disprove your insane exploration!
@@baesuke forgot to mention your name
Link’s champion tunic has a bracer on only his sword arm because he is meant to use a shield on the other, and this detail can actually be noticed on a couple other of link’s outfits (like the barbarian set)
Beautiful stuff for the follow-up vid, thanks!
I always thought that Zelda didn’t age because while she was holding Calamity Ganon in Hyrule Castle she was in spirit form and not Hylian. That’s why she can also telepathically communicate with Link from anywhere in the world.
One of the most popular games by Nintendo, but SO rare that I physically meet someone else that plays it let alone knows about it.
Now that you mention it. Same here lol.
Bro fr?? That's actually so true wtf, even 90% of my weeby online friends haven't played it
I feel like about 80% of people I know who have a switch have played the game, but often know little to nothing about it and haven’t even got off the great plateau
I have a T-shirt that says "I need another stamina wheel" in the BOTW font. It's my Friday shirt, I wear it to work about every other week. I know at least a few of my co-workers play BOTW, yet the only time I've ever gotten a comment on it was some random dude in a shoe store.
I know about 7 people with switches who own this game (well 9 actually, but im not including them because I never talk to them and I hardly ever see them), not including the people who play on my switch. I basically make everyone I know who owns a switch buy BotW and im convincing one of my friends who has been thinking about getting a switch to get any Zelda game but specifically BotW.
The only thing is that only 3 of these people are actually really into Zelda. So, yeah this is kinda accurate.
As soon as I got the guardian armor, I put it all on and went straight to Loone, expecting some kind of different text exchange. She seemed unimpressed.
I think Zelda has remained young because in order to keep down Ganon became spirit and only when you beat the final boss takes back her human form
I really liked this video! It's different from the usual tutorials, my favorites were the facts about different animations in the game.
Thanks! I was afraid i put in too much stuff about animations, so now im glad kept it 😀
its been over 5 years and we are still finding out new little fun facts about the game. ahhh, i am SO excited for tears of the kingdom! open world games are so great
If link is carrying a skull for one of the skeleton guys, take it to the edge of a cliff and he’ll drop kick it!
He drop kicks them anywhere.
This is my first time hearing about the weapon poses in selfie mode, I feel bad for the animators now
This kind of content has so much potential stg please make more
It was pretty fun to make, so I'm very much considering it.. maybe 15 mins next time 😉
Did I leave anything cool/interesting out? Lemme know!
Also, SUBSCRIBE for more content like this: ua-cam.com/users/thepwnyexpress
Yeah, there's still a lot. But as I already forgot what was in this video, I can't tell you, sorry.
If you crouch and open a chest link punches it
there probably is XD this game is infinite
there is a very specific spot behind the colosseum that reacts like lava and very close to it is a spot with water. link will actually get burned from the lava and when you jump you see it splashing
Now thats the type of stuff im looking for to make anothwr vid like this! Thanks!!
If you swing your weapon to an armed NPC like the guards in gerudo city, they will attack you back. You can actually parry this attack.
Jōmon is sometimes rendered with a bar over the "o" to help English speakers understand that its a long vowel. Definitely NOT pronounced "juh-MOAN". Japanese doesn't have reduced vowels like English, where we pronounce unemphasized syllables as schwa. It's pronounced "Joh-mon"
Japanese has reduced vowels, generally when followed by a ん つ or っ. It only applies to え and あ. A good example is the pronunciation of 先生. With some Japanese speakers えん can even sound like an English -in sound. Anyways, it is very different from English emphasis and reduction.
The fast moving ancient guardian from the trailer is a direct reference to the beginning sequence of Princess Mononoke!
This makes me love and appreciate this game even more
Ok that ancient pottery is awesome. I can safely say thats as excited as ive ever been about pottery.
The various statues of Hylia have different accessories depending on what settlement they're found in.
Speaking of statues with accessories, Purah and Robbie accessorize the frog statues above their doors differently.
The monks, too, are variously accessorized and posed.
Great stuff. Thank YOU
Another thing on opening chests, when you open a chest whilst crouching link will punch the chest open then flail his hand in pain lol
Yo, thanks! ;)
This game just keeps getting better and better
"Did I leave anything out?" about Breath of the Wild? Nope, nothing, you covered the entire game right there.
😂😂
You left out about ten hours of information, please do more 😊
😉👍
How can you only have 3.9k subscribers??! 🤔
You deserve way more 👍.
Its a looong story, but I firmly believe that had I stayed active since 2007 (when I started uploading) instead of taking a 10+ year hiatus, I'd either have millions of subs, or gotten this channel blacklisted by the algorithm by now
@@TheZeldaEnthusiast as someone who works professionally in search and content creation for a living, if you keep this up you’re going to hit half a million in 6 months. I don’t post videos for myself personally, I work for brands, but I know the YT algo and you’re going to grow super fast!
Thank you so much for the pro feedback 🙏
4:52 *Top ten pictures taken moments before disaster.*
He was definitely trying to breed a golden chocobo lol.
I got the references to Ruto and Nabooru, but I never caught onto the Medli and Darunia references. That's brilliant.
6:56 so i think its pretty implicit in the game that zelda gave up her physical form to hold ganon spirit and returned to her non-aged body after he was gone
Parcy did also, if you talk to her for the first time, she says she used to sneak into hyrule castle, when it was safe, and she does not look 100
Zelda stayed ageless because she had turned into a spirit form and possessed Calamity Ganon in order to keep it sealed within Hyrule Castle. Defeating Dark Beast Ganon with the Bow of Light allowed her to finally return to her human body and seal him away in the Dark Realm.
More useless facts:
Vah Medoh was actually named after Mido from Ocarina of Time, because the original intent was for the Kokiri and Picori races (from Ocarina of Time and Minish Cap respectively) to be included in the game. When they were replaced with the Koroks and Rito, Nintendo decided to keep the name because it still worked because of Medli.
"That upper class British accent is not the VA's natural accent."
Yeah, you can tell. You can really tell.
I am not going to forget this information this will just add to my Zelda PHD.
did you hear about the sos themes in the divine beasts and the musical references from Sidon’s- and Mipha’s Theme?
No. I'll have to go learn more about that
The Tony Express: here are some useless botw facts that you'll forget about
Me: c-core memory
There’s such beauty in the fine details of this game.
For you to know: i as astranger, love your videos and the fact that you took time to make this :)) keep going bro!❤️
Oh, the trailer was obviously hinting at Relics of the Past. Nintendo thought it was too hard, so ShadowMarth121 made it a reality
Video name: *Literally says “useless information”*
Me: *Adds to “Watch Later”*
There's one more chest opening animation you forgot. If you open a chest from the side while Link is crouched, he'll punch the chest to open it and then shake his hand cause it hurt
haha, ways to open treasure chests ended up being a running bit throughout this series. i learned many more ways than just one ;)
Excellent job! Even though I knew most of these, there was still a phew that slipped through the cracks. I had no idea about that Shrine flooring!
Hearing other people say things form botw cracks me up because it’s like wait- you guys don’t call them bobgoblins?? Or shriek-aslats?? What about Mobbobblolins?
Breath of the wild is actually on the japanese version of the zelda website's timeline, but it's seperated from the others at the end by a line. That doesn't really mean anything of course since it's just another way to show its ambiguous currently, but I figured it's worth mentioning.
That's still great to know, thanks!
@@TheZeldaEnthusiast no prob!
I noticed the Devine beasts one after Urbosa pointed it out. Nice detail!
6:56 maybe she became light itself and didn't age but when she was losing the power/light she began to get her form back thats my thought process and theory on why she didn't age
The Hyruleans have latent psychic abilities. That's why the sword makes more damage when it's black.
This is such a good video, watched till the end!
Jokes on you: I’m seriously considering implementing conditional game over screens in my project now.
"When playing in English Zelda has this upper class British accent but that's not her natural accent."
No way! I never could have told on my own! It's such a good and accurate representation of an English accent! /s
Before I finished the game, I was convinced that the big twist was gonna be that Zelda actually did die after having to keep Ganon sealed for 100 years, and the ending was gonna leave Link, alone in this big world, all the people he had a connection to in the past having now died
8:35 Nobody gonna talk about his horse's name lol.
Lolol
troll
5:25 Oh so THATS where my Boomerang went
I thought Vah Medoh was named after Mido, the kokiri, since there were early plans to have a kokiri pilot for one of the divine beasts... but now that I think about it, the divine beast being named after Medli makes a LOT more sense, lol.
wait that's not a bad theory. I caught onto the beasts names being a reference. but medli seemed like an odd one, with three from ocarina and 1 from wind waker. but then medli seems so much more important than most kokiris
@@iBenjamin1000 yeah, it also seems weird that it would be named after Mido, and not Saria, when all the other divine beasts were named after their people's respective sages... while Medli, while not from OoT, WAS a sage in her game. Though it's also true that the seven sages were named after the various towns from Zelda 2, with the town of Mido giving its name to the non-sage Kokiri Mido instead.
But given it's pronounced Meh-do and not Mee-do, I think it's more likely the divine beast is named after Medli
Very lovely video, i really enjoyed watching it
I want there to be a speedrun category thas "Link goes to the store to get a glass of milk"
one guy on a bridge will whos saying something like "we are all doomed" will yell at you not to jump if you go on the edge of the bridge near him
Do you know which bridge or approximately where on the map that is?
You mean to tell us that we've been calling the sequel Tears of the Kingdom, BoTW 2 for 3 years? I'm embarrassed 🤐
My belief why Breath of the Wild is not on the official timeline for Zelda; It's a complete reboot of the franchise. It's basically a remake of Zelda 1 and Zelda 2 combined. There are bits and bobs from everywhere, though I know people love to postulate the child timeline despite very little makes it fit outside a mention of Twilight, a thing that has been in reference since a Link to the Past, but the only games that could potentially even reference before Breath of the Wild would be Skyward Sword (which is getting referenced in Tears of the Kingdom) and Ocarina of Time. Nothing else really fits in, especially the adult timeline.
The reason I believe this is a reboot and not a continuation... well everything about the game from the look of the world and placement of things on the map fits Zelda 1 and 2's layout a lot more. On top of that the devs continual referencing of Zelda 1. Finally, any attempt to squeeze it into a timeline just doesn't work. The closest timeline it fits with is the downfall timeline, there's very little it has in common with the other two, especially the adult and a timeline convergence wouldn't work because that's not how time works. That would be all sorts of extra world ending events.
I never thought of it that way but it makes tons of sense, wow. Thanks for the insight!
I don’t think BotW is incompatible with the timeline just because there’s not much that connects them. Its definitely not the Adult timeline, because in that one Hyrule is destroyed, but I don’t recall anything that BotW conflicts with the Child and Downfall timelines. The reason there’s not many connections between BotW and past games is because it just takes place so long after everything else.
And just because it references Zelda 1 a lot doesn’t mean its a remake/reboot. I mean, ALBW is an actual remake of LttP, but they’re still considered separate events on the timeline. Plus, Hyrule’s geography changes in literally every game, so I don’t think it can be reliably used as evidence.
Besides, on like a meta level, I think they wouldn’t reboot the series out of fear it’d upset fans. People like to see callbacks and continuity, and a reboot makes that kinda impossible.
I liked MatPat’s theory that Hyrule Warriors joins all three timelines together and BOTW comes after it, which is why we see references to games in different timelines, but HW isn’t canon, which MatPat acknowledged, so it doesn’t work, even though it makes sense
@@CYBER_N0T I don't care for his theories. They take unconnected things and try to make something out of them. I don't see Hyrule Warriors as anything more than a side project especially since Nintendo says it has nothing to do with the timeline. Honestly, MatPat takes an idea that has at best one loose thing that can work and creates an entire theory that wouldn't make sense even if the dots were lined up.
@@ravenwolf8632 I can agree with that, I’ve always preferred his science theories to his lore theories anyways, because you can’t really go wrong with those. I do try not to take his theories as fact though (which is a thing I used to do a lot) because as he himself says, it’s just a theory, and nothing more, so I don’t take it that seriously if it’s something absolutely wild, or that goes directly against what developers of the game have said, like this Hyrule Warriors one. I do like the idea of it, but it’s not on the timeline, so it just isn’t correct lol
That fact regarding Lynels is interesting, it's almost as it sees you as an equal opponent and will only engage with you if you engage with it. Guess some of these monsters have a bit of respect!
dude, I LOVE useless information. could have listened for 20 minutes, tbh.
More in production. Coming soon ;)
The one thing I wish they would do with every game is put the starting cave from the very first Zelda in every game and then have like a little item in there like rupees, an NPC or two torches and a wooden sword.
Nice video man! 👌 Some interesting stuff
9:20 definitely gonna remember this
3:39 a pot with laser eyes and legs is somehow harder that the literally embodiment of hatred itself
Wow I never noticed that the game over screen was different based on how you died...pretty cool especially noticing the drowning one... mind you, I played probably close to 700-800 hours over the years... including the playthrough that I'm currently on and I still never noticed it... maybe it's because I don't really die that often but who knows
Oh, I knew the game over text had colours based on how you died, I noticed it during my playthrough which is already super fucking cool, but I didn't know it had special effects based on it too, I just assumed that the normal one and fire ones were the same, as were the drowning and ice ones
Sales figures are NOT a useless fact. It tells us it's likely that the next Zelda will likely be similar to this one (though that has already been confirmed by trailers, it wasn't useless before at least), and how much voima Nintendo is willing to put in it's development.
Hey tony. Its been a good while since ive been on discord but im still watching the videos. You’ve encouraged me for so long i thank you for that. Thanks again.
-Marceline or aka Marina
Thanks Marceline! It has been a little while, I hope youve been well. Good to see ya
Could the ‘jamone’ period really be between 14000 and 30 bc? That’s quite the range of human history.
14000-300 bc according to wikipedia. Ive just now added the link in the description, as I missed including it before. Thanks!
1.6.0 was not included on wiiu because it basicly only added support for the labo vr
Well, I have a dog sleeping on me and can't move so I literally can't waste my time
My interpretation of Zelda not aging was that she was able to use her ability to enter more of a spiritual realm that allowed her to prevent Ganon from being unleashed for 100 years. So she ceased to exist in her physical form during that time, which is why you don't really see her when you step in the castle.
...Now....
I don't really understand where she is the whole time you're fighting Ganon. Her help would have been appreciated there. But I suppose if Link is allowed a 100 year break after failing to even confront Ganon because he was that incompetent, then I suppose Zelda is allowed a 10 minute rest after taking Ganon on directly for 100 years straight with no breaks. I suppose reconverting back to physical form after all that will leave you a little winded.
Anyway, I highly doubt Tears will bring up her lack of aging.
She helps Link fight Dark Beast Ganon though
My guess for Zelda she did golden cocoon thing that skyward sword Zelda did and slept until Link awoke
There are actually more poses if you have certain things unequipped
The opening scrawl gets me
About the Blood Moon, I know for a fact that's not true. When I initially played Breath of the Wild, I was on the Great Plateau for a long time and I eventually triggered a blood moon. I had no idea what was happening and genuinely thought that it was time running out like in Majora's Mask. Then the cutscene cleared that up for me.
The game is not intended to trigger a blood moon normally before you obtain the paraglider and leave the Great Plateau, although it's entirely possible you triggered a panic blood moon somehow.
True, ive seen a bloodmoon during a speedrun before leaving plat, but it was the game messing up somehow. This is a good point to maybe include in a followup video
If the game uses blood moons to dump its cache then it makes sense to have one auto trigger after enough time spent altering the environment, no matter where you are. Like if you kill every enemy and pick up enough resources, it’ll have to reset that at some point. I didn’t realize that was possible but I suppose it makes sense 🤷🏼♀️
@@baesuke I think that's basically what I did. Although since it was my first time with the game, it was completely unintentional.
You missed the ceouching chest bit where if you crouch and open a chest he'll punch it and wave his hand around with a hiss of pain lol
hearing "bridle" peonounced "bird-le" made my day lmao
With the timeline thing, this was my interpretation:
Breath of the Wild is the true Hyrule, and all the other games take place as the legends told in Hyrule. That’s why there are so many references to other games and not linked to a specific timeline. It’s not in any of them. All the other games are playable versions of the legends told in Botw’s Hyrule.
I remember when i started, I just threw things into the pot for food, including things like ancient parts 😢
This is my new favorite UA-cam account- thank you!!
Thank YOU!
This is actually useful! I didn’t know there was a quest on puffer beach!
Good vid. Much enjoyness.
I giggled at “birdle” 😂
20 secs in the video I already forgot that it was about useless infos, and kept waiting for the "intro" of the video to end so that we can get to the meat of the subject XD I was like "when is he gonna start talking about.... eh... what again?"
Los mejores 10 minutos de asmr que he escuchado
Now that the video is over, I can't remember what I forgot
Can't believe I got lost in watching this for 10 straight minutes
Omg the Roscoe part lol
Incorrect all of these were very useful and have enhanced my gameplay. So thanks!
Another fun and useless detail is that the text on the sheika (excuse the potential incorrect spelling) balls literally just says "Stone Sphere".
Shekiah text translations are good for the follow-up. Thanks!
@@TheZeldaEnthusiast I translated the ball myself when I noticed it in the Yiga Hideout because I was curious. If you notice Sheikah text elsewhere you're interested in, let me know and I'll find and translate it for you if you'd like.
Well, that explains why I always found BotW Zelda's voice to be so renaissance fair-esque
Princess Renaissance Fair Accent
Another detail about the chest opening animations that if you crouch you punch the chest.
