Is this longer form video better than the previous shorter ones? Imo I think it's gotta be better because I get to go more in depth and that's the point of a series covering things like this
Ten minutes is great for a video like this!! I’m personally more likely to click on a gaming video if it’s anywhere from 8-24 minutes long, that’s a great sweet spot for having enough time to go in depth while still showing off a variety of places or things. Great work!
Can't say tbh, this is the first time I've watched any of your videos. But I can tell you that I wouldn't have clicked on your video if it was shorter than 8 minutes or longer than 30/45 minutes. 10-15 minutes are adequate times to me for watching a video regarding tloz lore/trivia. I like your channel! Keep it up :)
The weird unnamed island is nicknamed “mountain crow island” by the Zelda lore community because of the unusual amount of crows nesting there that supposedly are the ones collecting the sticks, arrows, and flint used for building nests. I think I first heard about it from this old fact video around the 5 min mark (apologies for posting a link in a comment, I promise im not spam promoting, I’m just trying to find where I first heard it so I don’t sound crazy! ua-cam.com/video/bl_wot2oFOI/v-deo.htmlsi=C6Qy-8-UVILS9UJh
And that's another thing I didn't even know... I guess there wasn't a human there after all, perhaps it is just the crows gathering all the sticks and arrows and flint for their nests. Well, the more you know...
That very first part made me think how it's always a little unsettling to stand somewhere and look at the land beyond Hyrule. I wonder who lives there, how they look like, if they are aware of what's happening, even if there's anyone at all. I feel that the openness of the map and the sudden "You can't go any further" message clash and that irritates me. I know the map limits need to exist, and devs couldn't just add a whole entire world. But knowing there are other Zora domains, for example, makes me wonder and yearn to explore, and being confined to the map is kind of sad. Anyway, Lightcast Island is really cool indeed, and Akkala is probably my favorite province and all the ruins also make me wonder what stood there once. I've always felt like the center of the spiral was a temple or shine of sorts, considering how it has a shine and then the tear. It feels sacred, somehow.
I agree with everything you just said. The outside world beyond BOTW/TOTK Hyrule is mysterious, and there has to be living people outside Hyrule because certain NPCs appear in TOTK that were nowhere to be seen in BOTW and also because of the other Zora Domains, which I think Sidon's fiancée Yona is from. It is a little upsetting to have all that land outside the borders of Hyrule, but for it to just be empty and without any backstory or lore.
@@AdamantiumC yeah, if we had gotten some lore it wouldn't feel so empty. Yona's short backstory was a perfect opportunity to give us something, unfortunately I think the devs were too focused on the building portion that they left aside the story in general. I like totk's story but I'm still a little unimpressed by the Zonai. I would have left them as a mystery and focused on the Hyrule of the present, or fully committed and sent Link to the past (pun intended).
The shrine is actually the only reason I first went there since I wanted to finish all the shrines, and I thought the puzzle with the mirrors and the light was cool
The island is the Place, where once one of the five pillars around the castle from botw was. In fear of the Guardians and shika tech the hylians smashed them down.

I think 10 minutes is the perfect length for this kind of video.

3:37 hey this is pretty cool I gotta go here some time!
Thanks, I think these places would be quite fun to check out!

Light cast island has a shrine. There is puzzle involved with light reflection and there is construct helmet as well
The shrine is actually the only reason I first went there since I wanted to finish all the shrines, and I thought the puzzle with the mirrors and the light was cool

I should probably compare each location in both games, so I don't miss details like this... I apologize and thank you for informing me on that.
"The developers didn't know what to put, so they just put some empty land"
Pretty much sums up ToTK in it's entirety lol
especially with the depths...
