Construction workers would say otherwise. Like if you could glue infinite amount of stuff together then you can become the worlds greatest architect. And the fastest one to. You can assemble giant objects together that would be impossible otherwise. You can also move stuff across regardless of it's wait... It's great, though I'm just a regular dude and I could be paid milions more if I had recall
Good point, and it's way less than six seconds, time is frozen while you're in the menu and while the food is cooking, so it's really only the fraction of a second it takes between exiting the menu and hitting the cook button.
Yeah and unlike the other abilities cooking instantly will never not be useful! Plus you can use it to make money by selling your food! So that is a plus for me.😊
@@d1nodray I already know why. Basically when you see Zelda in the temple of time, a cutscene similar to one when you get the other sage abilities plays. Not only that, but the ability is shown on Raurus hand the same way the other sage abilities are, as well as having a sage emblem of its own
As a crafter specifically, I'd love to have autobuild. If I had something made out of a bunch of identical pieces, I'd only have to make one and essentially let the ability copy-paste the rest. It wouldn't even take the entire creative process away from me, just a time save on repetitive tasks
Without zonai devices or the battery pack you'd still be limited by most of the real-world restrictions on making things work Plus you'd still be limited in the number of objects that can be attached with ultrahand at any time
Yeah never needing to go grocery shopping, free clothing for cosplay, free horse that would probably be a great race horse and she'll always trust you so even if you don't sell her for 10000 dollars or something you can still use her for transport or in races. Metal chests that can be sold. Crates that can be recycled for limber. Potentially just free money if rupees are gems or dollar bills, etc.
all fun and games till we get the Majora's Mask and it stops being cosplay.. "you've met a terrible fate, haven't you?" 💀💀 (Fierce deity set would be cool asf though)
@@MrFlame-qe2hv Unfortunately for me, I do not own the 30th anniversary Young Link amiibo. The ones I have are the four BoTW champions (Mipha, Urbosa, Revali, and Daruk), Skyward Sword HD Zelda & Loftwing , Cat Mario, Metal Mario, Super Smash Bros Link and Ganondorf, 8-bit 30th anniversary Link and 30th anniversary Toon Link, 30th anniversary Wolf Link/ Midna, Super Smash Bros King Dedede, Bowser and Diddy Kong, and I just got Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf from the TotK series.
If recall worked how you described it here, it would be OP, but I think freezing time is just a gameplay mechanic to make it possible to use, just like how opening the menu or map freezes time.
@@waitingmars I think it does, maybe it was a misinput but I remember being there for a while and Link automatically got out, it was like a minute I think And even if you can stay there forever, you can use recall anywhere but for ascend you always need a ceiling
Excellent video! I like the wacky concept. Personally I think the ability I'd most like to have isn't neccesarily on the ability wheel... I want Link's nearly infinite pockets.. you could be prepared for EVERYTHING.
I still find Ascend more useful. Yes, you can up get places with stairs really easily, but what about places that are blocked off or really difficult to access? Imagine sneaking into a rooftop party or ancient ruins. You can break into someone's house and leave without truly intruding on the place. Plus you have time to evaluate if the area you ascended to is a bad choice and reverse your decision without any consequences. The one major drawback is getting back down, there's no equivalent to the paraglider IRL (honestly that's a broken ability nobody talks about).
Things I learned from this video: The Bread Pirate values being able to say the right words in a speech more than being able to dig up dirt, which is something that most pirates would disagree with considering buried treasure exists.
the entire history of buried pirate treasure is Captain Kidd. he went to a random guy's house, said "hey, can I bury this box in your yard? I'll pay you", did that, and then was immediately captured and the guy handed the treasure over to the crown. that's literally it.
"Can you imagine having your very own Epona?". Solid choice there!!! That said, one "ability "I think worth mentioning, is the ability to carry an insane amount of supplies and gear, while still able to run and climb up the side of a mountain.
My favorite is ultrahand because in real life there probably wouldn't be a limit on how many items you can stick together or amiibo cause you could recode them to be able to be used more than once
Thank you! Finally someone gets how it wouldn’t be direct replicas of gameplay, recall would NOT FREEZE TIME, in totk canonically he just recalls it, no time stop but from a gameplay perspective, it makes sense. Fuse (altho still useless) would not have a limit, amibo would be like on your wrist or something, map would give you travel points like your house, and as you said, ultrahand would be unlimited with you being able to attach stuff to the earth itself, or walls, or anything! Ultrahand is best.
I suspect that the Recall timefreeze wouldn't actually apply to real life. Chances are that the timefreeze is implemented in-game for ease of use - giving the player enough time to select the boulder that's flying in their direction to then recall it - with Link presumably possessing in-universe fast enough reflexes to perform that action in real time. Think of it like VATS in Fallout New Vegas/Fallout 3. When the player uses VATS, time pauses to allow the player to select their target(s) - but then resumes as the player's chosen actions are performed. VATS, in-universe, does not freeze time for The Courier/The Sole Survivor.
Id say amiibo, not only could you have free food for life as long as you own an amiibo, but you could sell all the weapons and clothes and make a profit, never have to work another day in your life. Although it would probably be the least fun of the abilities. But hey, im down with owning 100% accurate Zelda weapon replica's those would be sick.
you underestimate amiibo, amiibo don't give food, they give MAGIC food and brigthbloom seed too. and not only that, it also gives jewels, which are also magical. And the helmets are magical too. and twilight bow, and oni link.
I actually think that map and ultrahand are the best abilities to have irl. Moving any object of any size anywhere is insanely op in real life. You can do hardest work with ease, moving giant containers with a wave of a hand! Imagine moving places, a ton of giant wardrobes, tables, beds, all getting in the truck with a wave of a hand, and not hours and hours of work! Map... Useless? Knowing where you are, where you need to go, what is around you at ANY TIME and ANYWHERE??? It is 100% the most useful thing in real life, to never get lost! Or you loose any of your items, just pop them in the map and thats it. I lost my earbud a month ago, had to pay a dude with metal detector 50 dollars and spend 2 hours with him walking around my backyard and 2 hours without him prior. Or i could pop that earbud in the map and find it with locator in seconds. I can figure out NOTHING more useful than those abilities, and i cant think if ANY good irl use of recall. You dont rewind time with it, you rewind objects... What are you gonna do? rewind a car to rear end somebody? or rewind a phone that fell from your hand? That is dumb. Yea freezing time is ok, but you need to freeze with it... It is dumb... Map and Ultrahand are 100% winners if we talk about real life application.
Was the earbud so valuable as to cost you $50 and four hours of your (presumably) finite lifespan? If so, earbuds are usually cheaper than that, my dude. I *really* wanna know what buds you're bearing.
@@TheMaskedGamer that was 250 dollar earbuds that i bought literally 3 days before i lost it. with amazing sound quality. Huawei FreeBuds 5. So paying 50 dollars to get one back wasnt much of a question.
Yep. Anything that the compendium recognizes as a thing can have equivalent things tracked. Look for an endangered species. Look for that rat you think might have moved into the attic. Look for dropped change. Look for your favorite wild mushrooms. Look for valuable ores. Get every border patrol agent and baggage handler to look for a different bit of contraband. It's a niche use, sure, but plenty of people could get a tremendous amount of value from it.
The map would actually be kind of nice to have since a 100% accurate gps you can pull up and see you self on would be the perfect tool. Plus you can place down beacons you can see from anywhere. Say goodbye to getting lost.
@@complainer406 No, you get the map data by downloading it from the Skyview Towers, which we could just swap out for either the internet or personal experience. The problem in TotK is that the Skyview Towers were only just recently opened and do not have the necessary geographical data to form a detailed map. You could probably fill your entire map out, save for some militarized zones or countries, by just downloading detailed images of the surface of the planet from online.
I do think fuse actually could be useful. If you attach a rock to a stick with ultrahand, it’s gonna be quite heavy. But you could easily make a super light hammer along with many other things using fuse. Not SUPER useful, but it does have some use.
The mid air bullet time and paraglider is probably pretty cool And one way teleporting can be a go back home instantly button or if you're falling off a cliff or about to be hit by a truck you can escape to safety
@@zixvirzjghamn737 Bullet time champion ability is kind of fanon/fan theory territory, but it also definitely cannot just be a game mechanic unless all of the fights in BotW and TotK are just not accurate portrayals of the game's actual workings.
Im pretty sure recall doesn't pause time because link is also frozen while we activate it. More than likely link just activates the ability immediately.
his head does move around looking at stuff though, i think its more likely that he can think and move a tiny bit but has to mostly stay still only being able to move eyes, head, fingers and stuff a tiny bit
@@asher3311It might just be that Link has very good reflexes in-universe (allowing him to do the recall stuff in real time) - with the thematic time freeze only there to make it usable for the player. Similar to VATS from Fallout New Vegas/Fallout 3.
Recall would be perfect for a Nerf war- like you see the other persons dart about to hit you and you deflect it. Then if you miss a shot you can grab your dart so you have more ammo. And freeze time to line up the perfect shot.
Lol, I've often thought of real-world applications for the Sheikah Slate and Zonai abilities before, such as using Recall on a coffee mug that I dropped. What's really funny is that you don't know how many times I've thought about how nice it would be to pause time to think or read books instantly, or to be able to rewind time to undo embarrassing conversations.
recall also has the side effect of removing all momentum from the targeted object. i can't think of anything particularly useful about it, but i'm sure it could be handy in many scenarios.
in totk when you recall a rock thrown by an enemy that enemy will be stuck at place till the rock hits them. So if you have good timing, you can kill anyone that shoots you.@@cosmicsilhouette3858
The idea of having your cell phone float around and take a picture for you while you do whatever is pretty cool you gotta admit, but also we have a very similar solution, so yeah
6:51 if you get a ton of amiibo cards (I forgot if it’s based on type or individual ones), then you can get thousands from just this. If it’s based on type, I think that’s still roughly 22 unique summons and hundreds of non-unique ones per day.
Yeah, anything that’s not a Zelda amiibo just gives you random meat and fruit, and each one counts separately. In fact, even separate copies of the same type of amiibo count separately. Buying a bunch of duplicate Zelda amiibo would be worth the gemstones you can get from them.
"amiibo summoning" is an interesting concept for an irl ability... aside from food and such, you also get the raw materials from the crates and barrels. which you could sell. they wouldnt just blip from some object limit like in the botw engine.
You know how they scan your ticket at security and then again when you board? You wouldn't be allowed to board if you just skipped past security And what checkout procedures? Customs? If you skip customs you've illegally entered a country. I guess maybe you can use ascend to escape prison
@@enderallygolemthey could all just have incredibly fast reflexes in-universe (allowing all them to do it in real-time) with the 'time freeze' only being there to make it easier for the player to use. Similar to VATS from Fallout New Vegas/Fallout 3.
If you wanted to freeze time, might I recommend ascend? While you are stuck in an object, time is frozen, while link can look around, and ponder on his life choices.
If you have Ascend, don't forget to bring a Spin Drill with you in case you are stuck with no way down. What if you had Recall+, the ability to reload a save file from the past? What about the ability to solve anything that looks like a Witness puzzle?
You forgot that if ultrahand has to abide by the 21 part then so does autobuild. You’re also forgetting that autobuild, the map, and ascend also freeze time.
There is additional upsides to recall. Firstly it is within the realm of possibility that you could recall a object in someone else's hand quickly disarming them, but maybe that wont work, secondly, you could spam activate it to recall say a bullet. But my final one I think is the best. To activate recall on a object, Link reaches out to said object BEFORE time resumes, even if he cannot use recall on it. Its not just time to think, presumably Link can perform any action while in frozen time as long as he doesn't move from where he is standing, the resulting forces caused once time resumed allowing you to break someone's leg by lightly poking it. You could become a full on super hero without ever using the ability to reverse a objects time.
I just had a horrible thought. What if you had links ability to break almost anything remotely like a weapon in like eight uses of the thing. Imagine trying to cut a steak and then your knife just breaks.
There are two consideration that are missing. For the sensor, it does not have to be something you own so you can take a picture of something valuable like gold and find any gold anywhere including buried gold. The amiibo is actually even better because it summons stuff from the game which means you don't only summon food but food that you can cook with special effects like making you glow, strong, run fast, sneaky
well technically teleportation could be included in the map/camera power since all shrines and towers become fast travel points and the travel medalion (once used) shows up on the map. idk what the real world equivalent of towers and shrines would be but I feel that fast travel points would exist. also a super useful feature of the map is the ability to place pins (the 6 glowy ones) and see them irl in the distance. so if you are trying to find your way to something you can always orient yourself properly. Traveling? place a pin on your hotel and never get lost, going to an event but have to drive away from the venue to find parking? place a pin on the venue as you pass it so you can find it after parking, also place a pin on your car so you don't have to worry about figuring out where you parked. The pin function alone, combined with the sheika sensor is so useful in everyday life. also for the sheika sensor you could take a photo of gold or rare gems/ minerals and go out and try to find em and strike rich. from these points alone I would for sure pick the camera/map power.
I like amiibo, because when you spawn stuff in it creates a treasure chest. A treasure chest that happens to be covered in gold. You could get so rich so fast, as well as the other benefits.
I think I'd pick either the amiibo ability or the recall ability. With the ability to summon free food and valuable items that I could sell, I could potentially be set for life. According to the internet, there are a total of 848 released amiibo in the world. If I can use multiple copies of the same amiibo, I could amass a virtually unlimited supply of summonable items. By maximizing this ability and accumulating numerous copies, I could create an endless source of valuable items, providing me with almost everything I could need. If it works like this, then world hunger is solved. On the other hand, if I pick recall, I could pause time and pickpocket everyone, steal their credit cards, bank information, and do anything on top of what was mentioned in the video. I could use the ability to be the most productive employee/student, reverse recently damaged items to their previous condition, and have all the time to do practically anything. If it prevents the user from aging while it is active, I could live an empty but eternal life and be almost god-like.
Another thing that is incredibly good about recall is the fact that if your airplane or car or snowboard or whatever was about to crash you could just rewind it before it does and then no more dying.
I so agree! Recall is pretty sweet. I love the idea of if you're talking to someone, you can just freeze time think of what to say! Love the video. Great job.
If you picked amiibo then couldn’t you just be like “Hey, I have this super power and if you make a custom Amiibo that spawns in tons of food I can solve world hunger!”? And sure people would probably try to kidnap you and what not, but wouldn’t more people want to protect you more because you can solve world hunger? Btw I really love your content, keep up the great work!
As a carpenter, i would love to have Ultrahand, moving heavy things lets me move logs and heavy equipment, letting me temporarily glue things together is realy handy for things like scaffolding or just holding things in place while i do some work on it, also, work space efficiency, i get grab all those far away tools really easily. The Recall might seem nice to you, but stopping time and letting you move things back in time seems a little too limited to me, sure you can take your time to think, but thats it, it sounds nice, but i would use Ultrahand on a daily basis, but with Recall i would only need it a few times if not less.
I'd pick ascend, for 1 main reason: Ascend lets you pause time perpetually outright. (while you are peeking through the ascended object, the world is paused, permanently, until you decide to go through or cancel.) (yes recall lets you do that too, but you have to actively hold a button (I'd consider that requiring focus) to maintain. Ascend doesn't require that)
now watch it turn out if you chose amiibo you'd have to wait for a higher being than yourself to slap an amiibo to the gamepad controlling you rather than having one yourself
"Sends her 10,000 years back in time" - 10,000 years ago was when the Divine Beasts defeated a previous Calamity Ganon. They knew that they were going to need to because it appeared *every* 10,000 years. To recognize a pattern like that, you need at least three prior examples. That means that there were at least three Calamity Ganon events prior to the one they made the Divine Beasts for... And the one in BotW that they failed on. The Imprisoning War had to have happened 10,000 years before the _first_ Calamity Ganon, because it's formed of the collected Malice from the imprisoned Ganondorf over 10,000 years. Zelda was sent a minimum of 50,106 years back in time, if not longer. (The 100 years are the time difference from BotW's Calamity starting and ending due to Link needing to regenerate for 100 years, and the 6 years are an estimated time difference from the end of BotW to the start of TotK.)
Amiibo would be AMAZING for cosplayers (or someone wanting to get into the cosplay selling market). Fully accurate Link, Shiek and Fierce deity outfits with no material or labor costs? Same goes for the weapons- though you'd probably wanna sand down the edges so people don't get hurt.
The problem with recall is though, that you can’t really move when you activate it. Of course you can spend days in this form meditating but you couldn’t even read a book.
But if you use recall to read the page, you can go out of it to flip the page and back in to read that one. It will probably look weird though to other people
If you think about it, the fusibility is actually the one that could get you the most amount of money because it implied through the cutscene of Link Waking up that you Fuse other body parts to other people A small little detail, which most people didn't notice.
Link's ability of Bullet Time and, by association, the Flurry Rush are probably the best abilities in TOTK and BOTW. We see in both games that Link can practically slow down time to a near stand still with them, as recall does just to a weaker degree, but it also shows that he can move at regular speed while in Bullet Time/Flurry Rush. If it was an option, I couldn't see myself picking anything else.
Since it’s green and has a splash effect when destroyed I would imagine it’s like pickle juice but in solid form until you take a bite and it becomes a liquid
Although they are technically on the wheel, recall, the map, the camera, and the amiibo are technically not link's abilities, they are just objects that allow link to do stuff that we can't, but it wouldn't really be a "super-power", as any hylien with these would be able to control it. (Map + camera is purah slate, recall is Zelda's tear thingy, and amiibos are well... amiibos). So his only REAL abilities are ultra-hand, auto-build, fuse, and ascend. Actually now that I think about it, Link doesn't even have powers in the first place, because it all originates from Rauru's arm, so I don't know what the point of this comment was. Great video though!
The map would be sooo helpful for finding out where you are + where to go if you are lost/ but to get the map of an area I guess you would have to go in like a helicopter or something as skyveiw towers are… not as practical.
Recall also adds the ability to remove momentum from an object relative to the earths surface without harming any potential passengers. You could use this to stop a car crash. Like if you're about to die it's potentially a get out of death free card. This could also be used to harm people but we can assume people would only use it to cheat death
With recall, you can think, but you cannot move at all. You can turn but not walk around. Edit: This comment is false. In a cutscene Zelda moves while using recall.
@@TheBreadPirate By the way regarding the amiibo ability, each amiibo has an unique id, meaning that for example two bokoblin amiibos will both scan and give items. This also means that you can buy one amiibo, get rubies, diamonds and shappires, buy more amiibos, and repeat the cycle until you don't need a job anymore. That in my opinion makes it compete very much against the recall ability in the context of the modern world. Plus, free Zelda merch :3
Recall doesn't have a timelimit. It remembers things for a long as they exist (and don't despawn). Things don't despawn in real life so thy exist forever and can always be recalled.@@idkwhattoputhere0770
@@kaikeanu-o2rwow you just made this cringe comment emerge from darkness, and I realise how cringe and stupid I was a few months ago. Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I’ll learn from my errors and move on. See ya
Aboit Amiibo, you could solve world hunger if you buy an amiibo emulator that can re-roll a different amiibo code thing so you can use it again in the same day.
I'd pick Link's Bullet Time ability; it's even more broken than Recall. I can slow time, insta-dodge anything coming towards me, deflect gigantic centaur monsters, bounce to go faster than teleportation, and prevent fall damage
Also: Recall requires your hand, so if you get injured or grow old, you can lose mobility of you hand and lose your powers. BT doesn't need anything, you always get the ability, no matter what
So, fun thing, I legitimately used recall for the purpose you stated. I was fighting one of those construct things and when I broke it apart on phase 3 (the part where it becomes a big platform in the sky), I 100% lost track of the main block and started panicking. But the fun thing was I had recall as my active power, so I did quick thinking and activated it to take time to find it. Now, yes, I know I can't turn the camera for some reason when using recall, but it gave me time to look at what was on screen. It helped because I killed it at that phase 3 and didn't go past it.
@11:04 IS waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyMORE THAN 10,000 YEARS THE most recently PREVIOUS calamity BEFORE BOTW was 10,000 years prior and was one of MANY calamities.
I choose recall too. I actually would want recall as my main ability rather than anything else. I know it’s nothing compared to flying or invisibility, but to me it’s an amazing power. Fun fact: I often have ascend, recall, and ultra hand in my dreams. Unfortunately, it’s mostly ascend, but it’s my second favorite ability. I often escape bad guys lol. I recently had my first ultra hand dream a couple days ago. I built a boat. Also, if recall can make you freeze time, how come Zelda walked when she used recall to reverse the knife Ganondorf’s puppet threw at Sonia?
Just about the teleportation example, when I go to grandma I can get back by train. During the day, there are trains every 30 minutes so if that was my use case then I would only need 1
@@complainer406 But then if my grandmom calls me and needs help really quickly then I can't do that since it's still like 4 and a half hour from school (3 and a half by car but I don't have car so I have to take a bus to the trainstation and then take the train that goes there)
I'm just gonna make a very very long list of some extra stuff I've thought of for each ability. Some important things to note are that any machines made with things like Ultrahand, Autobuild, and Fuse do not work without zonaite batteries, they would only work if you added an actual power source, and that if someone found out you had any of these abilities you would probably be locked away SCP style, so it would be best to keep them a secret. Ascend: It's just worse than Recall in every way. The only use over it would be if you are trapped underground or something. It's also very obvious when you literally crawl out of the floor. It does stop time when you use it, but it's basically Recall with a billion terrible drawbacks. There's no reason to use this over it. Camera: Some uses could be seeing through camouflage with the ? sign that comes up when it detects something, reducing economical and environmental costs of mining by detecting exactly where ore is, or finding buried artifacts in archaeoloical digs. Good for specific people or groups, but terrible for you when similar technology for every day items already exists. It would be pretty easy to keep secret, but again, it is basically useless to you. Ultrahand: It's capabilities are literally a superpower, but there's not really a point in someone's day where they are needed. I guess maybe if you were a construction worker, mover, or craftsman it would be useful, but they all make it very obvious and have a far better option. Also you can't even use the glue permanently because it disappears at a certain range. You are realistically only gonna use for stuff like rearranging furniture, carrying your laundry, and grabbing the remote without getting up. Overall it's very powerful and versatile, but not actually needed realistically. Still a decent option, but why would you pick it over anything else. Autobuild: Infinite money. Imagine you're a craftsman and are given some instructions and materials, you can now make copies of that thing many times a minute. Work for a car manufacturer and replace a whole factory with the rate you create parts. Read a recipe book and suddenly become a chef. The possibilities are endless. A big weakness is that it has the same 21-object and glue-range limits as Ultrahand, however these can be worked around. Say you are making a car part; if you add screws to the instructions, the part should stay together without glue. This would make it similar to a fused weapon, allowing you to add many parts together, thus bypassing the object and glue limits. Autobuild would be terrible if you were working on your own, as you wouldn't have enough materials, however a corporation would likely provide you with everything you need and keep your secret if it meant they make a profit from you. Very good ability if you want to be successful, but not very good for living a normal life. Fuse: A VERY VERY niche use. If you fire a single material from a multi-shot bow, the material is added to every arrow. These materials are destroyed when they make contact with a surface, however if the arrows stop midair the materials remain intact and are duped. If you found a way to stop arrows in midair irl then you could make infinite amounts of basically anything as long as you had enough arrows. However, this would probably require some kind of high tech arrow catching machine, which is completely infeasable if you are trying to keep your ability a secret. Absolutely terrible. Amiibo: Kind of like the Fuse dupe except it can be done anywhere. You could sell the drops, however this runs into the same problem as Autobuild; it's going to be very hard to explain to your bank where you got this much random crap from. In general you could probably just use it for your groceries lol, maybe sell a few extremely high quality replicas of iconic zelda items to some rich nerds. The biggest issue with it is the reliance on Nintendo products. Eventually the Switch will be discontinued, and once the last one dies and your fun will be over. Much like Ultrahand, it's just a mid choice. It's a decent option but you could easily go without it (which you will once your Switch dies). Pick something else. Earthquake: Useless. I thought for a long time on this one and the only thing I could think of was a murderer could maybe use it to not get caught, but that isn't exactly a good answer. Medallion: Really really good. Put one in your house, one at your work/school, and keep one for emergencies. Tired of the daily commute? Be there in the click of a button. Forget something at home? Throw down a medallion, teleport home and grab it, teleport back. In an extremely dangerous situation? Teleporting stops time, get yourself out of there. Lost? Not anymore. Other people can't see the medallions but you need to be careful where you place it, they can still see you, and you can't check the other side before you teleport. As TBP said, it's not an actual ability, but it's still an amazing choice that would be a solid contender for the best option if it was allowed. Recall: Yeah the video pretty much says it all. One thing I thought of is that Recall completely halts an object's momentum, so you could stand on something while it's falling and continually use Recall to slow your descent. Another thing could be a height boost. You raise a brick above your head, lower it to the ground, stand on it, and Recall it. You are now hovering like 2-3 metres off the ground, which you could use to look over things or scale walls. Recall is also super subtle because you are literally freezing time, which means no one would have any idea. Best ability.
I have just a few points. One, with recall, does time really stop? I know we are taking things at face value from what the game shows us, but link is frozen too, you can't even turn. Is recall stopping time or are we just picking what then to recall? Would we be able to use the time stop at all? I guess we could just say "hey that's how it works in the game" and there's nothing to disprove that, but my second point, I think you are downplaying how good the amibo and auto build powers are. With amibo, for the low cost of every LoZ amibo ever printed, you now never have to work again. You could open a "blacksmith" store or a restaurant or market, or even a chest store and be set for life. It also just straight up breaks the laws of physics by creating something from nothing and I think that's pretty awesome. With auto build, you'd still need to work, but you'd have literally the easiest job in the world. You rent yourself out, look at a blue print, and just build anything people want you to with the raw materials they provide. You could work with NASA to perfectly build all their equipment. You could work with computer chips creating computers so powerful, they are just hypothetical. Once you make enough money, you could spend your time helping others. Houses for the less fortunate, hurricane relief, insane humanitarian goals that would take years to do, you could do in minutes with just a pile of the raw materials needed
Out of them all, recall and autobuild are top contenders for me. Being able to craft whatever you want instantly as long as you have the schematic and pieces would allow you to build houses in an instant, as well as random knickknacks. Could even repair items if you have the manual. You'd be sought after everywhere that includes building. Ultra hand is similar in that regard, but being able to put together whatever you want at any time with a bit of effort is way less useful for money making. Recall allows you infinite time to think, but it might also allow you to save yourself from car crashes and stuff, pretty useful
I'd go Ultrahand hands down. Recall doesn't really appeal as much because even if you do pause time you can't move, and probably everything else around you, thusly books, cannot be interacted with. So yeah.
As someone currently in school for carpentry and building houses my mind immediately jumps to ultra hand as the most practical ability in real life. If you could not only just stand there and move steel beams and wood lumber and other materials with your mind but also ATTACH it to other materials without nails, screws or bolts then you would be able to build houses, condominiums, skyscrapers, government buildings etc with very minimal effort, very efficiently all by yourself and you would not have to pay a whole workforce of employees and you would save a lot on materials since you could just attach stuff together. Especially if you get contracts with the municipal government you could build entire neighborhoods very quickly or large colleges or hospitals in the fraction of the time it would normally take for way cheaper all by yourself you would very quickly become a multimillionaire or billionaire if you had that kind of ability, you could probably retire in about 5 years with generational wealth if you had that kind of ability.
Thoughts. Ascend has some specialized applications. It's primarily flaw is getting down. Something not mentioned is that ascend also allows you to freeze your perception of time in the same way that recall does. Of course this requires a ceiling above you. Map allows you to place those glowing beacons. And gives you a minimap. Camera gives a a magic drone via 3rd person self picture mode (potentially crazy). The sensor detects types of objects not specific ones. So you probably couldn't use it for your keys since it would pickup other keys for the same vehicle but, you could say detect 100 dollar bills. You could basically use it like a metal detector without any restrictions. Ultrahand is insane magic that breaks physics. There are a near infinite amount of applications. The attachment limit would probably almost never matter. How op it is would come down to how it decides on what a object is. Either way the rotation being set speed allows you to generate an absurd amount of energy out of nothing. Something interesting about the ultrahand is the glue it uses, The potential properties of which are intriguing. Auto build is as insane as ultra hand but with more prep. That said if you're know how to do cad it is very powerful. Fuse, of course, is incredibly powerful. It's likely outclassed by ultrahand which allows you to fuse anyway but, certain objects have specific interactions with fuse such as the gems that can be explored. Amiibo isn't real. Recall breaks physics just like the others. You can't seem to move in frozen time and it's unclear if you are aging. Recall allows you to effect any object within line of sight. Recall kills any momentum a moving object had. Unfortunately this would probably mean that recalling objects would be likely to deal significant damage too them if not used carefully. Rapid deceleration is extremely dangerous. There are still many ways it could be used.
Ah ha! I finally found the comment in question. Thanks for sending me to find this, cause you have some great feedback. I like how you explained the Sheikah sensor ability. Your interpretation is way better than the one I gave. That being said, I'm not sure why you don't believe in Amiibo? I assure you they exist. You ought to make a video about your thoughts. That would be really cool.
@@TheBreadPirate Why, thank you. I suppose I could potentially make a video since I do have more ideas but I'm rather busy at the moment. When I get time I'd probably rather make a video on my primary obsession, The design Fighting Games. ┐(‘～` )┌ Also Amiibo are simply a figment of the collective imagination, orchestrated by Shigeru Miyamoto to seize control of the world.
If we are considering gameplay mechanics, map does that plus teleportation. Recall only goes for like the last 20 seconds. If something has been stationary for over 20 seconds, recall wont do much on it as it will remember the object being stationary for 20 seconds and "rewind" that without moving it at all Ultrahand or map in that case are the best options.
I saw a video called "How Star Wars SHOULD use the Force" and the main idea was Testicular torsion. And the first picture you showed in the Ultrahand segment reminded me very strongly of that. To be honest, I think ultrahand would be better if it was used on a deeper level, instead of picking up objects like you would with your hand. Break a coffee cup? use ultrahand to fix it, then pick up all the coffee and return it. Same idea as recall. A bit annoying if you can only pick up one thing at a time, but if you can pick up multiple as long as its the same substance, you can clean stains extremely easily too. Also, I don't think you mentioned SAVING AND LOADING. That's the best power by far, and I'm disappointed that you didn't say ANYTHING about it.
I’ve only watched first few seconds of vid and I do agree recall is broken because you can just stop time while choosing what to move back in time before making any danger go away for example about to die because something is gonna hit you or collapse use recall not only do you have time to figure out what to do you can also avoid certain death. This would also be useful in every day life dirty dishes become clean broken objects fixed and if something is stuck you can get it undone in seconds.
earthwake sounds pretty neat imo, for infrastructure work. fist the ground and boom, you got trenches for sewage, cables, water ways, mass graves, road related stuff and other useful stuff. digging holes never going out of style. easy job, easy money
you could use recall to brake the law of conservation of energy, move a rock thu a water wheal witch would spin and make energy, then you can make the rock go back = more energy, not vary practical (in this scenario) but cool
I am working on my new fact video. 🦜
In the meantime, please enjoy this chill video.

Ok
Which item in Super Mario Maker 2 is best for real life?
Construction workers would say otherwise. Like if you could glue infinite amount of stuff together then you can become the worlds greatest architect. And the fastest one to. You can assemble giant objects together that would be impossible otherwise. You can also move stuff across regardless of it's wait... It's great, though I'm just a regular dude and I could be paid milions more if I had recall
What I really want is Link's ability to prepare and make a full meal in 6 seconds with nothing but fire, a cooking pot, and random raw ingredients.
Not to mention the ability to turn a concoction of rocks and bugs into any kind of passable nutrition.
Good point, and it's way less than six seconds, time is frozen while you're in the menu and while the food is cooking, so it's really only the fraction of a second it takes between exiting the menu and hitting the cook button.
I like the way you think lad!
Yeah and unlike the other abilities cooking instantly will never not be useful! Plus you can use it to make money by selling your food! So that is a plus for me.😊
Auto build to make me a sandwich
Fun fact about Recall: it is the only sage ability to be usable from the wheel instead of with a sage following you
I realised a while ago that it does actually count as a sage ability.
@@d1nodray I already know why. Basically when you see Zelda in the temple of time, a cutscene similar to one when you get the other sage abilities plays. Not only that, but the ability is shown on Raurus hand the same way the other sage abilities are, as well as having a sage emblem of its own
@@ImPrettySureThisIsMax I know that you know, just asking for other people. But yes, I thought of that and agree with you.
also, zelda is quite literally a sage
Cool fact!
The moment I realized I had played too much TotK was when I had dropped something out of sight and my instinctual reaction was “I can use recall”

As a crafter specifically, I'd love to have autobuild. If I had something made out of a bunch of identical pieces, I'd only have to make one and essentially let the ability copy-paste the rest. It wouldn't even take the entire creative process away from me, just a time save on repetitive tasks
I can't articulate this well but this is an Andy Warhol vibe

If you only have autobulid it’s useless cause i think it only autobulids stuff made with ultra hand
@@Raisei-with-an-ak47 yeah
You're forgetting that with ultrahand you can create practical creations
Basically a Jedi with gorilla glue
Without zonai devices or the battery pack you'd still be limited by most of the real-world restrictions on making things work
Plus you'd still be limited in the number of objects that can be attached with ultrahand at any time
You mean weapons of war
Recall also means 0:12 teleportation because you can stop time and move around then continue with time and it would be like you just teleported
@@jtimeplaytime8527 no, in the game you can't move in time stop, so guess he's counting with that
As someone who owns 18 amiibo, I see this as an absolute win
Yeah never needing to go grocery shopping, free clothing for cosplay, free horse that would probably be a great race horse and she'll always trust you so even if you don't sell her for 10000 dollars or something you can still use her for transport or in races. Metal chests that can be sold. Crates that can be recycled for limber. Potentially just free money if rupees are gems or dollar bills, etc.
YES

If recall worked how you described it here, it would be OP, but I think freezing time is just a gameplay mechanic to make it possible to use, just like how opening the menu or map freezes time.
I mean ascend also freezes time if you dont jump out after using it
@@waitingmars You automatically get out after a few seconds and even then you would need a ceiling anyway
@@Andree1x Does it force you out? I thought you could just sit in the ground for as long as you need to scout the area.
@@waitingmars I think it does, maybe it was a misinput but I remember being there for a while and Link automatically got out, it was like a minute I think
And even if you can stay there forever, you can use recall anywhere but for ascend you always need a ceiling
@@waitingmarsit does I’ve tried it several times
Excellent video! I like the wacky concept. Personally I think the ability I'd most like to have isn't neccesarily on the ability wheel... I want Link's nearly infinite pockets.. you could be prepared for EVERYTHING.
YES! Now that would be awesome.
@@TheBreadPirate I need this, then I might actually be able to carry my team in bedwars.
I think Link's infinite pockets are just the sheika slate storing things.
Not to mention that while link is searching his pockets, that also freezes time. I think Link is just OP in every way possible.
the hammerspace bag. just like the one Merlin has from Disney's Sword in the Stone movie. we ALL WANT IT.
I still find Ascend more useful. Yes, you can up get places with stairs really easily, but what about places that are blocked off or really difficult to access? Imagine sneaking into a rooftop party or ancient ruins. You can break into someone's house and leave without truly intruding on the place. Plus you have time to evaluate if the area you ascended to is a bad choice and reverse your decision without any consequences. The one major drawback is getting back down, there's no equivalent to the paraglider IRL (honestly that's a broken ability nobody talks about).
How are you getting out of there
Rope/supplies I would carry on myself like a hook to help climb down the building
@@jordanjohnson3894 Spot on, essentially just ascend to the roof and climb or rappel down. Still easier than climbing up or into something
@@jordanjohnson3894 POV: every D&D character I've ever created
I agree
Things I learned from this video: The Bread Pirate values being able to say the right words in a speech more than being able to dig up dirt, which is something that most pirates would disagree with considering buried treasure exists.
It gives you advantage on intimidation rolls tho
Draysonmora is right. A captain needs to have the right words for each situation.
@@TheBreadPirate Thank you.
@@TheBreadPirate you’re wrong
the entire history of buried pirate treasure is Captain Kidd. he went to a random guy's house, said "hey, can I bury this box in your yard? I'll pay you", did that, and then was immediately captured and the guy handed the treasure over to the crown.
that's literally it.
"Can you imagine having your very own Epona?".
Solid choice there!!!
That said, one "ability "I think worth mentioning, is the ability to carry an insane amount of supplies and gear, while still able to run and climb up the side of a mountain.
"can you imagine having your own Epona?"
me: "uhh, no. i want a black horse names Nightmare. once a goth girl, always a goth girl."
My favorite is ultrahand because in real life there probably wouldn't be a limit on how many items you can stick together or amiibo cause you could recode them to be able to be used more than once
Thank you! Finally someone gets how it wouldn’t be direct replicas of gameplay, recall would NOT FREEZE TIME, in totk canonically he just recalls it, no time stop but from a gameplay perspective, it makes sense. Fuse (altho still useless) would not have a limit, amibo would be like on your wrist or something, map would give you travel points like your house, and as you said, ultrahand would be unlimited with you being able to attach stuff to the earth itself, or walls, or anything! Ultrahand is best.
Good point! Real life doesn't need limitations like that.
I suspect that the Recall timefreeze wouldn't actually apply to real life.
Chances are that the timefreeze is implemented in-game for ease of use - giving the player enough time to select the boulder that's flying in their direction to then recall it - with Link presumably possessing in-universe fast enough reflexes to perform that action in real time.
Think of it like VATS in Fallout New Vegas/Fallout 3. When the player uses VATS, time pauses to allow the player to select their target(s) - but then resumes as the player's chosen actions are performed. VATS, in-universe, does not freeze time for The Courier/The Sole Survivor.
besides, during initiation of recall, link can't do anything, he's frozen in time too.
Id say amiibo, not only could you have free food for life as long as you own an amiibo, but you could sell all the weapons and clothes and make a profit, never have to work another day in your life. Although it would probably be the least fun of the abilities. But hey, im down with owning 100% accurate Zelda weapon replica's those would be sick.
you underestimate amiibo, amiibo don't give food, they give MAGIC food and brigthbloom seed too. and not only that, it also gives jewels, which are also magical. And the helmets are magical too. and twilight bow, and oni link.
Fierce deity set=litteral godhood
I actually think that map and ultrahand are the best abilities to have irl.
Moving any object of any size anywhere is insanely op in real life. You can do hardest work with ease, moving giant containers with a wave of a hand! Imagine moving places, a ton of giant wardrobes, tables, beds, all getting in the truck with a wave of a hand, and not hours and hours of work!
Map... Useless? Knowing where you are, where you need to go, what is around you at ANY TIME and ANYWHERE??? It is 100% the most useful thing in real life, to never get lost! Or you loose any of your items, just pop them in the map and thats it. I lost my earbud a month ago, had to pay a dude with metal detector 50 dollars and spend 2 hours with him walking around my backyard and 2 hours without him prior. Or i could pop that earbud in the map and find it with locator in seconds.
I can figure out NOTHING more useful than those abilities, and i cant think if ANY good irl use of recall. You dont rewind time with it, you rewind objects... What are you gonna do? rewind a car to rear end somebody? or rewind a phone that fell from your hand? That is dumb. Yea freezing time is ok, but you need to freeze with it... It is dumb... Map and Ultrahand are 100% winners if we talk about real life application.
I dislike how you said recall is dumb, but you made good points about the other things! Well said.
Was the earbud so valuable as to cost you $50 and four hours of your (presumably) finite lifespan? If so, earbuds are usually cheaper than that, my dude. I *really* wanna know what buds you're bearing.
Boy are you gonna feel silly when you're driving a car and are about to be crashed into but cant recall the other car away
@@TheMaskedGamer that was 250 dollar earbuds that i bought literally 3 days before i lost it. with amazing sound quality. Huawei FreeBuds 5. So paying 50 dollars to get one back wasnt much of a question.
@@Awildgamer if you recall a car that you are in, you gonna get smashed into a windshield, because only car gonna get recalled and you are not.
1:57 This wouldn't rely on an external object, and you could use it for say looking for endangered species to help with conservation
Yep. Anything that the compendium recognizes as a thing can have equivalent things tracked. Look for an endangered species. Look for that rat you think might have moved into the attic. Look for dropped change. Look for your favorite wild mushrooms. Look for valuable ores. Get every border patrol agent and baggage handler to look for a different bit of contraband. It's a niche use, sure, but plenty of people could get a tremendous amount of value from it.
I had a friend say the same thing to me the other day, so you're probably right. This could be used to find every species in existance.
The map would actually be kind of nice to have since a 100% accurate gps you can pull up and see you self on would be the perfect tool. Plus you can place down beacons you can see from anywhere. Say goodbye to getting lost.
But you only get the map data by launching into the sky from a Skyview tower, which the real world is sorely lacking
@@complainer406Bungee jumping
@@complainer406
No, you get the map data by downloading it from the Skyview Towers, which we could just swap out for either the internet or personal experience. The problem in TotK is that the Skyview Towers were only just recently opened and do not have the necessary geographical data to form a detailed map. You could probably fill your entire map out, save for some militarized zones or countries, by just downloading detailed images of the surface of the planet from online.
I do think fuse actually could be useful. If you attach a rock to a stick with ultrahand, it’s gonna be quite heavy. But you could easily make a super light hammer along with many other things using fuse. Not SUPER useful, but it does have some use.
Same think of getting bored of a conversation you could just stick a item flower and now you have the power of freezing people
The mid air bullet time and paraglider is probably pretty cool
And one way teleporting can be a go back home instantly button or if you're falling off a cliff or about to be hit by a truck you can escape to safety
bullet time is a champion ability, should make a separate video for it.
the real question is if the paraglider is magic or if link is just THAT strong
That is an excellent point about escaping danger with teleportation.
@@zixvirzjghamn737
Bullet time champion ability is kind of fanon/fan theory territory, but it also definitely cannot just be a game mechanic unless all of the fights in BotW and TotK are just not accurate portrayals of the game's actual workings.
@@CrecelliaLikely, Link is just really strong, Daruk in BOTW says Link has "Goron like strength"
Im pretty sure recall doesn't pause time because link is also frozen while we activate it. More than likely link just activates the ability immediately.
his head does move around looking at stuff though, i think its more likely that he can think and move a tiny bit but has to mostly stay still only being able to move eyes, head, fingers and stuff a tiny bit
Jojo
@@asher3311It might just be that Link has very good reflexes in-universe (allowing him to do the recall stuff in real time) - with the thematic time freeze only there to make it usable for the player.
Similar to VATS from Fallout New Vegas/Fallout 3.
Asher is right. Because Link can move his head it implies that Link is literally freezing time in the world (not just a mechanic).
@@TheBreadPirate ZA WARUDO
Recall would be perfect for a Nerf war- like you see the other persons dart about to hit you and you deflect it. Then if you miss a shot you can grab your dart so you have more ammo. And freeze time to line up the perfect shot.
Lol, I've often thought of real-world applications for the Sheikah Slate and Zonai abilities before, such as using Recall on a coffee mug that I dropped.
What's really funny is that you don't know how many times I've thought about how nice it would be to pause time to think or read books instantly, or to be able to rewind time to undo embarrassing conversations.
recall also has the side effect of removing all momentum from the targeted object. i can't think of anything particularly useful about it, but i'm sure it could be handy in many scenarios.
If you use it at just the right timing, you could stop a bullet.
or use it to make a airplane crash@@psychicchicken5263
in totk when you recall a rock thrown by an enemy that enemy will be stuck at place till the rock hits them.
So if you have good timing, you can kill anyone that shoots you.@@cosmicsilhouette3858
The idea of having your cell phone float around and take a picture for you while you do whatever is pretty cool you gotta admit, but also we have a very similar solution, so yeah
Also I love the idea of making a IKEA couch with ultrahand rather than autobuild
6:51 if you get a ton of amiibo cards (I forgot if it’s based on type or individual ones), then you can get thousands from just this.
If it’s based on type, I think that’s still roughly 22 unique summons and hundreds of non-unique ones per day.
Yeah, anything that’s not a Zelda amiibo just gives you random meat and fruit, and each one counts separately. In fact, even separate copies of the same type of amiibo count separately. Buying a bunch of duplicate Zelda amiibo would be worth the gemstones you can get from them.
What I'm thinking is that if this is not limited to just the Zelda versions of what the amiibo can do then it's the most Op thing ever
Zelda actually also used the pure boosted form of recall from the Tear
Neat
@@TheBreadPirate ayyyy
"amiibo summoning" is an interesting concept for an irl ability... aside from food and such, you also get the raw materials from the crates and barrels. which you could sell. they wouldnt just blip from some object limit like in the botw engine.
With ascend you can just bypass security in an airport. Or escape a secured area without going through proper checkout procedures.
You know how they scan your ticket at security and then again when you board? You wouldn't be allowed to board if you just skipped past security
And what checkout procedures? Customs? If you skip customs you've illegally entered a country. I guess maybe you can use ascend to escape prison
That sounds illegal, and like it would get you into more trouble.
Can’t wait to see you ascend through those big ol’ barbed wire fences for the jailbreak…😂
I think that the Freeze time part of recall is just apart of the gameplay, i believe when Rauru uses it its instantaneous but i could be wrong.
Sonia and Zelda both use it instantaneously without time freezing
@@ja-melvinson7994 Thanks!
@@ja-melvinson7994You could argue that time is only frozen in their perspective and thus we don't see it though
@@enderallygolemthey could all just have incredibly fast reflexes in-universe (allowing all them to do it in real-time) with the 'time freeze' only being there to make it easier for the player to use.
Similar to VATS from Fallout New Vegas/Fallout 3.
If you wanted to freeze time, might I recommend ascend? While you are stuck in an object, time is frozen, while link can look around, and ponder on his life choices.
If you have Ascend, don't forget to bring a Spin Drill with you in case you are stuck with no way down.
What if you had Recall+, the ability to reload a save file from the past?
What about the ability to solve anything that looks like a Witness puzzle?
Ha! Recall plus would be insane. I'd take that in a heartbeat.
You forgot that if ultrahand has to abide by the 21 part then so does autobuild. You’re also forgetting that autobuild, the map, and ascend also freeze time.
There is additional upsides to recall. Firstly it is within the realm of possibility that you could recall a object in someone else's hand quickly disarming them, but maybe that wont work, secondly, you could spam activate it to recall say a bullet. But my final one I think is the best.
To activate recall on a object, Link reaches out to said object BEFORE time resumes, even if he cannot use recall on it. Its not just time to think, presumably Link can perform any action while in frozen time as long as he doesn't move from where he is standing, the resulting forces caused once time resumed allowing you to break someone's leg by lightly poking it.
You could become a full on super hero without ever using the ability to reverse a objects time.
Ascend would be absolutely HILARIOUS imagine being downstairs then crawling through the ceiling up to you friend and absolutely terrifying them
I just had a horrible thought.
What if you had links ability to break almost anything remotely like a weapon in like eight uses of the thing.
Imagine trying to cut a steak and then your knife just breaks.
There are two consideration that are missing. For the sensor, it does not have to be something you own so you can take a picture of something valuable like gold and find any gold anywhere including buried gold. The amiibo is actually even better because it summons stuff from the game which means you don't only summon food but food that you can cook with special effects like making you glow, strong, run fast, sneaky
For recall, you wouldn’t be able to read a book without having to get out of it because when you use it, you’re also frozen
Link's head moves while he's in recall, meaning you can still move a little bit and process your situation.
well technically teleportation could be included in the map/camera power since all shrines and towers become fast travel points and the travel medalion (once used) shows up on the map. idk what the real world equivalent of towers and shrines would be but I feel that fast travel points would exist. also a super useful feature of the map is the ability to place pins (the 6 glowy ones) and see them irl in the distance. so if you are trying to find your way to something you can always orient yourself properly. Traveling? place a pin on your hotel and never get lost, going to an event but have to drive away from the venue to find parking? place a pin on the venue as you pass it so you can find it after parking, also place a pin on your car so you don't have to worry about figuring out where you parked. The pin function alone, combined with the sheika sensor is so useful in everyday life. also for the sheika sensor you could take a photo of gold or rare gems/ minerals and go out and try to find em and strike rich. from these points alone I would for sure pick the camera/map power.
I like amiibo, because when you spawn stuff in it creates a treasure chest. A treasure chest that happens to be covered in gold. You could get so rich so fast, as well as the other benefits.
You could use the gold from the chests to counteract inflation.
Link moving his head and arms in recall shows some capacity to move so if you could move in recall it would dominate the list
I think I'd pick either the amiibo ability or the recall ability. With the ability to summon free food and valuable items that I could sell, I could potentially be set for life. According to the internet, there are a total of 848 released amiibo in the world. If I can use multiple copies of the same amiibo, I could amass a virtually unlimited supply of summonable items. By maximizing this ability and accumulating numerous copies, I could create an endless source of valuable items, providing me with almost everything I could need. If it works like this, then world hunger is solved. On the other hand, if I pick recall, I could pause time and pickpocket everyone, steal their credit cards, bank information, and do anything on top of what was mentioned in the video. I could use the ability to be the most productive employee/student, reverse recently damaged items to their previous condition, and have all the time to do practically anything. If it prevents the user from aging while it is active, I could live an empty but eternal life and be almost god-like.
Another thing that is incredibly good about recall is the fact that if your airplane or car or snowboard or whatever was about to crash you could just rewind it before it does and then no more dying.
or just cause chaos by recalling cars that drive by

Top underrated comment on UA-cam
Thank you.
I so agree! Recall is pretty sweet. I love the idea of if you're talking to someone, you can just freeze time think of what to say!
Love the video. Great job.
Ayy, thanks astrid!
Your title cards continue to be inspiring. They're so clever!
:D
Thanks Draken!!
If you picked amiibo then couldn’t you just be like “Hey, I have this super power and if you make a custom Amiibo that spawns in tons of food I can solve world hunger!”? And sure people would probably try to kidnap you and what not, but wouldn’t more people want to protect you more because you can solve world hunger?
Btw I really love your content, keep up the great work!
As a carpenter, i would love to have Ultrahand, moving heavy things lets me move logs and heavy equipment, letting me temporarily glue things together is realy handy for things like scaffolding or just holding things in place while i do some work on it, also, work space efficiency, i get grab all those far away tools really easily.
The Recall might seem nice to you, but stopping time and letting you move things back in time seems a little too limited to me, sure you can take your time to think, but thats it, it sounds nice, but i would use Ultrahand on a daily basis, but with Recall i would only need it a few times if not less.
That's a great point! I hadn't considered how that type of work could use it.
I'd pick ascend, for 1 main reason: Ascend lets you pause time perpetually outright. (while you are peeking through the ascended object, the world is paused, permanently, until you decide to go through or cancel.)
(yes recall lets you do that too, but you have to actively hold a button (I'd consider that requiring focus) to maintain. Ascend doesn't require that)
now watch it turn out if you chose amiibo you'd have to wait for a higher being than yourself to slap an amiibo to the gamepad controlling you rather than having one yourself
NOOOOOOO
The "higher being" controlling you is your brain, so that would only be an upside.
"Sends her 10,000 years back in time" - 10,000 years ago was when the Divine Beasts defeated a previous Calamity Ganon. They knew that they were going to need to because it appeared *every* 10,000 years. To recognize a pattern like that, you need at least three prior examples. That means that there were at least three Calamity Ganon events prior to the one they made the Divine Beasts for... And the one in BotW that they failed on. The Imprisoning War had to have happened 10,000 years before the _first_ Calamity Ganon, because it's formed of the collected Malice from the imprisoned Ganondorf over 10,000 years.
Zelda was sent a minimum of 50,106 years back in time, if not longer. (The 100 years are the time difference from BotW's Calamity starting and ending due to Link needing to regenerate for 100 years, and the 6 years are an estimated time difference from the end of BotW to the start of TotK.)
As a part time mechanic, I can say that auto build would instantly have me set for life
Amiibo would be AMAZING for cosplayers (or someone wanting to get into the cosplay selling market). Fully accurate Link, Shiek and Fierce deity outfits with no material or labor costs? Same goes for the weapons- though you'd probably wanna sand down the edges so people don't get hurt.
ascend also stops time when u use it (and u can go back when u need to!), also it comes with the perk of satisfying rock swimming anytime you want!
autobuild also does this and the map does too
I don't think you're acknowledging how disturbing that would probably feel. We also don't even know if link can breathe while inside something.
well lets hope so lol
Map could be powerful once you have been somewhere you can teleport to it's location.
The problem with recall is though, that you can’t really move when you activate it. Of course you can spend days in this form meditating but you couldn’t even read a book.
But if you use recall to read the page, you can go out of it to flip the page and back in to read that one. It will probably look weird though to other people
If you think about it, the fusibility is actually the one that could get you the most amount of money because it implied through the cutscene of Link Waking up that you Fuse other body parts to other people A small little detail, which most people didn't notice.
I would def want the teleport pads if it was an ability
I would just use recall to rewind time like, 5 seconds or something whenever I zone out in class. Bam, ADHD solved.
I would just get a teleport in front of my house and one on an airplane and go anywhere the plane wants to go
Link's ability of Bullet Time and, by association, the Flurry Rush are probably the best abilities in TOTK and BOTW. We see in both games that Link can practically slow down time to a near stand still with them, as recall does just to a weaker degree, but it also shows that he can move at regular speed while in Bullet Time/Flurry Rush. If it was an option, I couldn't see myself picking anything else.
Well if you glued together a Taco with Ultrahand you would also have to eat the glue. What does it even taste like?
the glue is tasteless.
@@mr_bubby1013I mean how do you know? If I had to guess I would say it tastes like battery acid.
Since it’s green and has a splash effect when destroyed I would imagine it’s like pickle juice but in solid form until you take a bite and it becomes a liquid
@@thatcat_ DELETE THAT REPLY. I CANT LET MY COVER GET BLOWN

I would want the camera tool irl. It would be so cool to capture moments and revisit them later
I want the ability to have a consistent upload schedule.
We all do. But that one is impossible.
hi@TheErrorInBlack
Although they are technically on the wheel, recall, the map, the camera, and the amiibo are technically not link's abilities, they are just objects that allow link to do stuff that we can't, but it wouldn't really be a "super-power", as any hylien with these would be able to control it. (Map + camera is purah slate, recall is Zelda's tear thingy, and amiibos are well... amiibos). So his only REAL abilities are ultra-hand, auto-build, fuse, and ascend. Actually now that I think about it, Link doesn't even have powers in the first place, because it all originates from Rauru's arm, so I don't know what the point of this comment was. Great video though!
The map would be sooo helpful for finding out where you are + where to go if you are lost/ but to get the map of an area I guess you would have to go in like a helicopter or something as skyveiw towers are… not as practical.
I know this is a stretch but hear me out: gps
@@skchabauzinha7118 yeah but can you teleport on a GPS? and does it work without a satellite connection?
Btw nice profile picture, both of you
@@d1nodray Oooohh didn't think of that. Yeah that's pretty OP actually
Thanks for the compliment, your pfp's cool as hell too
@@skchabauzinha7118 Thanks
Yeah but imagine going in a plane over like your neighbourhood- you could get an immersive map of all around you
Recall also adds the ability to remove momentum from an object relative to the earths surface without harming any potential passengers. You could use this to stop a car crash. Like if you're about to die it's potentially a get out of death free card. This could also be used to harm people but we can assume people would only use it to cheat death
With recall, you can think, but you cannot move at all. You can turn but not walk around.
Edit: This comment is false. In a cutscene Zelda moves while using recall.
Freeze, read 2 book pages, unfreeze, turn one page, repeat.
You could read 600 page books in 600 seconds, or 10 minutes
That's fast.
:D
@@TheBreadPirate By the way regarding the amiibo ability, each amiibo has an unique id, meaning that for example two bokoblin amiibos will both scan and give items.
This also means that you can buy one amiibo, get rubies, diamonds and shappires, buy more amiibos, and repeat the cycle until you don't need a job anymore.
That in my opinion makes it compete very much against the recall ability in the context of the modern world.
Plus, free Zelda merch :3
@@GregFRDTwhat if there are no amiibos left to purchase 🤔

Ultra hand. That ice cream in the back of the top shelf of the cooler? Ultra hand. The nine foot tall pallet of boxes to unload?
Yo, good point.
Ultrahand. Change my mind.
Don't need to get up for the remote
Recall can do the same thing.
But recall can put your smashed controller back together
@@TheBreadPirate Not unless you have already had the remote on the couch 20 seconds ago.
Recall doesn't have a timelimit. It remembers things for a long as they exist (and don't despawn). Things don't despawn in real life so thy exist forever and can always be recalled.@@idkwhattoputhere0770
As someone with social anxiety, Recall ability would be freaking golden.

@@kaikeanu-o2rwow you just made this cringe comment emerge from darkness, and I realise how cringe and stupid I was a few months ago. Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I’ll learn from my errors and move on. See ya
Aboit Amiibo, you could solve world hunger if you buy an amiibo emulator that can re-roll a different amiibo code thing so you can use it again in the same day.
I'd pick Link's Bullet Time ability; it's even more broken than Recall. I can slow time, insta-dodge anything coming towards me, deflect gigantic centaur monsters, bounce to go faster than teleportation, and prevent fall damage
It doesn't stop time, but if you slow time down to 1 second = 1 billion years it doesn't matter if you've stopped time or not
Also: Recall requires your hand, so if you get injured or grow old, you can lose mobility of you hand and lose your powers. BT doesn't need anything, you always get the ability, no matter what
So, fun thing, I legitimately used recall for the purpose you stated. I was fighting one of those construct things and when I broke it apart on phase 3 (the part where it becomes a big platform in the sky), I 100% lost track of the main block and started panicking. But the fun thing was I had recall as my active power, so I did quick thinking and activated it to take time to find it. Now, yes, I know I can't turn the camera for some reason when using recall, but it gave me time to look at what was on screen. It helped because I killed it at that phase 3 and didn't go past it.
Bonus fact about recall:oh no you fell off a building or something
Rewind clothes you're fine
@11:04 IS waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyMORE THAN 10,000 YEARS THE most recently PREVIOUS calamity BEFORE BOTW was 10,000 years prior and was one of MANY calamities.
Good point. It could be even longer. Like 50,000 years???
I choose recall too. I actually would want recall as my main ability rather than anything else. I know it’s nothing compared to flying or invisibility, but to me it’s an amazing power. Fun fact: I often have ascend, recall, and ultra hand in my dreams. Unfortunately, it’s mostly ascend, but it’s my second favorite ability. I often escape bad guys lol. I recently had my first ultra hand dream a couple days ago. I built a boat.
Also, if recall can make you freeze time, how come Zelda walked when she used recall to reverse the knife Ganondorf’s puppet threw at Sonia?
I choose Ultrahand because I'm lazy and want to be able to move things to my location instantly
Just about the teleportation example, when I go to grandma I can get back by train. During the day, there are trains every 30 minutes so if that was my use case then I would only need 1
Three cheers for public transit!
I'd put it at home. That way no matter where I went, one leg of the travel would be instant
@@complainer406 But then if my grandmom calls me and needs help really quickly then I can't do that since it's still like 4 and a half hour from school (3 and a half by car but I don't have car so I have to take a bus to the trainstation and then take the train that goes there)
Dude, that thumbnail cracked me up 😂
Quality video as always, Bread!
Yo, Thanks Retro! :D
I'm just gonna make a very very long list of some extra stuff I've thought of for each ability.
Some important things to note are that any machines made with things like Ultrahand, Autobuild, and Fuse do not work without zonaite batteries, they would only work if you added an actual power source, and that if someone found out you had any of these abilities you would probably be locked away SCP style, so it would be best to keep them a secret.
Ascend: It's just worse than Recall in every way. The only use over it would be if you are trapped underground or something. It's also very obvious when you literally crawl out of the floor. It does stop time when you use it, but it's basically Recall with a billion terrible drawbacks. There's no reason to use this over it.
Camera: Some uses could be seeing through camouflage with the ? sign that comes up when it detects something, reducing economical and environmental costs of mining by detecting exactly where ore is, or finding buried artifacts in archaeoloical digs. Good for specific people or groups, but terrible for you when similar technology for every day items already exists. It would be pretty easy to keep secret, but again, it is basically useless to you.
Ultrahand: It's capabilities are literally a superpower, but there's not really a point in someone's day where they are needed. I guess maybe if you were a construction worker, mover, or craftsman it would be useful, but they all make it very obvious and have a far better option. Also you can't even use the glue permanently because it disappears at a certain range. You are realistically only gonna use for stuff like rearranging furniture, carrying your laundry, and grabbing the remote without getting up. Overall it's very powerful and versatile, but not actually needed realistically. Still a decent option, but why would you pick it over anything else.
Autobuild: Infinite money. Imagine you're a craftsman and are given some instructions and materials, you can now make copies of that thing many times a minute. Work for a car manufacturer and replace a whole factory with the rate you create parts. Read a recipe book and suddenly become a chef. The possibilities are endless. A big weakness is that it has the same 21-object and glue-range limits as Ultrahand, however these can be worked around. Say you are making a car part; if you add screws to the instructions, the part should stay together without glue. This would make it similar to a fused weapon, allowing you to add many parts together, thus bypassing the object and glue limits. Autobuild would be terrible if you were working on your own, as you wouldn't have enough materials, however a corporation would likely provide you with everything you need and keep your secret if it meant they make a profit from you. Very good ability if you want to be successful, but not very good for living a normal life.
Fuse: A VERY VERY niche use. If you fire a single material from a multi-shot bow, the material is added to every arrow. These materials are destroyed when they make contact with a surface, however if the arrows stop midair the materials remain intact and are duped. If you found a way to stop arrows in midair irl then you could make infinite amounts of basically anything as long as you had enough arrows. However, this would probably require some kind of high tech arrow catching machine, which is completely infeasable if you are trying to keep your ability a secret. Absolutely terrible.
Amiibo: Kind of like the Fuse dupe except it can be done anywhere. You could sell the drops, however this runs into the same problem as Autobuild; it's going to be very hard to explain to your bank where you got this much random crap from. In general you could probably just use it for your groceries lol, maybe sell a few extremely high quality replicas of iconic zelda items to some rich nerds. The biggest issue with it is the reliance on Nintendo products. Eventually the Switch will be discontinued, and once the last one dies and your fun will be over. Much like Ultrahand, it's just a mid choice. It's a decent option but you could easily go without it (which you will once your Switch dies). Pick something else.
Earthquake: Useless. I thought for a long time on this one and the only thing I could think of was a murderer could maybe use it to not get caught, but that isn't exactly a good answer.
Medallion: Really really good. Put one in your house, one at your work/school, and keep one for emergencies. Tired of the daily commute? Be there in the click of a button. Forget something at home? Throw down a medallion, teleport home and grab it, teleport back. In an extremely dangerous situation? Teleporting stops time, get yourself out of there. Lost? Not anymore. Other people can't see the medallions but you need to be careful where you place it, they can still see you, and you can't check the other side before you teleport. As TBP said, it's not an actual ability, but it's still an amazing choice that would be a solid contender for the best option if it was allowed.
Recall: Yeah the video pretty much says it all. One thing I thought of is that Recall completely halts an object's momentum, so you could stand on something while it's falling and continually use Recall to slow your descent. Another thing could be a height boost. You raise a brick above your head, lower it to the ground, stand on it, and Recall it. You are now hovering like 2-3 metres off the ground, which you could use to look over things or scale walls. Recall is also super subtle because you are literally freezing time, which means no one would have any idea. Best ability.
nice summary, but last time I checked we don't have multishot bows
@@legithuman5486 You can nock and fire multiple arrows with any bow in real life
Amibo would be #1 on one condition. If it used the BOTW loot table.
Reason: wolf link
I have just a few points. One, with recall, does time really stop? I know we are taking things at face value from what the game shows us, but link is frozen too, you can't even turn. Is recall stopping time or are we just picking what then to recall? Would we be able to use the time stop at all? I guess we could just say "hey that's how it works in the game" and there's nothing to disprove that, but my second point, I think you are downplaying how good the amibo and auto build powers are.
With amibo, for the low cost of every LoZ amibo ever printed, you now never have to work again. You could open a "blacksmith" store or a restaurant or market, or even a chest store and be set for life. It also just straight up breaks the laws of physics by creating something from nothing and I think that's pretty awesome.
With auto build, you'd still need to work, but you'd have literally the easiest job in the world. You rent yourself out, look at a blue print, and just build anything people want you to with the raw materials they provide. You could work with NASA to perfectly build all their equipment. You could work with computer chips creating computers so powerful, they are just hypothetical. Once you make enough money, you could spend your time helping others. Houses for the less fortunate, hurricane relief, insane humanitarian goals that would take years to do, you could do in minutes with just a pile of the raw materials needed
I feel like the earthquakes move would be really cool. Can you imagine being a freaking earth bender
Camera and map could be dangerous cuz a cereal killer could take a picture of his target and hunt them down
You convinced me that amiibo would be awesome and how recall has hidden abilities
Out of them all, recall and autobuild are top contenders for me. Being able to craft whatever you want instantly as long as you have the schematic and pieces would allow you to build houses in an instant, as well as random knickknacks. Could even repair items if you have the manual. You'd be sought after everywhere that includes building. Ultra hand is similar in that regard, but being able to put together whatever you want at any time with a bit of effort is way less useful for money making.
Recall allows you infinite time to think, but it might also allow you to save yourself from car crashes and stuff, pretty useful
Cryonis.
Free ice cubes in my water.
I'd go Ultrahand hands down. Recall doesn't really appeal as much because even if you do pause time you can't move, and probably everything else around you, thusly books, cannot be interacted with. So yeah.
Well yes but actually no.
It gives you infinite time to think, process, and plan, as well as almost perfect reaction time.
As someone currently in school for carpentry and building houses my mind immediately jumps to ultra hand as the most practical ability in real life. If you could not only just stand there and move steel beams and wood lumber and other materials with your mind but also ATTACH it to other materials without nails, screws or bolts then you would be able to build houses, condominiums, skyscrapers, government buildings etc with very minimal effort, very efficiently all by yourself and you would not have to pay a whole workforce of employees and you would save a lot on materials since you could just attach stuff together. Especially if you get contracts with the municipal government you could build entire neighborhoods very quickly or large colleges or hospitals in the fraction of the time it would normally take for way cheaper all by yourself you would very quickly become a multimillionaire or billionaire if you had that kind of ability, you could probably retire in about 5 years with generational wealth if you had that kind of ability.
Thoughts.
Ascend has some specialized applications. It's primarily flaw is getting down. Something not mentioned is that ascend also allows you to freeze your perception of time in the same way that recall does. Of course this requires a ceiling above you.
Map allows you to place those glowing beacons. And gives you a minimap.
Camera gives a a magic drone via 3rd person self picture mode (potentially crazy).
The sensor detects types of objects not specific ones. So you probably couldn't use it for your keys since it would pickup other keys for the same vehicle but, you could say detect 100 dollar bills. You could basically use it like a metal detector without any restrictions.
Ultrahand is insane magic that breaks physics. There are a near infinite amount of applications. The attachment limit would probably almost never matter. How op it is would come down to how it decides on what a object is. Either way the rotation being set speed allows you to generate an absurd amount of energy out of nothing. Something interesting about the ultrahand is the glue it uses, The potential properties of which are intriguing.
Auto build is as insane as ultra hand but with more prep. That said if you're know how to do cad it is very powerful.
Fuse, of course, is incredibly powerful. It's likely outclassed by ultrahand which allows you to fuse anyway but, certain objects have specific interactions with fuse such as the gems that can be explored.
Amiibo isn't real.
Recall breaks physics just like the others. You can't seem to move in frozen time and it's unclear if you are aging. Recall allows you to effect any object within line of sight. Recall kills any momentum a moving object had. Unfortunately this would probably mean that recalling objects would be likely to deal significant damage too them if not used carefully. Rapid deceleration is extremely dangerous. There are still many ways it could be used.
Ah ha! I finally found the comment in question. Thanks for sending me to find this, cause you have some great feedback.
I like how you explained the Sheikah sensor ability. Your interpretation is way better than the one I gave.
That being said, I'm not sure why you don't believe in Amiibo? I assure you they exist.
You ought to make a video about your thoughts. That would be really cool.
@@TheBreadPirate Why, thank you. I suppose I could potentially make a video since I do have more ideas but I'm rather busy at the moment. When I get time I'd probably rather make a video on my primary obsession, The design Fighting Games.
┐(‘～` )┌
Also Amiibo are simply a figment of the collective imagination, orchestrated by Shigeru Miyamoto to seize control of the world.
One word: AUTOBUILD
and zonite irl i guess
If we are considering gameplay mechanics, map does that plus teleportation. Recall only goes for like the last 20 seconds. If something has been stationary for over 20 seconds, recall wont do much on it as it will remember the object being stationary for 20 seconds and "rewind" that without moving it at all Ultrahand or map in that case are the best options.
I saw a video called "How Star Wars SHOULD use the Force" and the main idea was
Testicular torsion. And the first picture you showed in the Ultrahand segment reminded me very strongly of that.
To be honest, I think ultrahand would be better if it was used on a deeper level, instead of picking up objects like you would with your hand. Break a coffee cup? use ultrahand to fix it, then pick up all the coffee and return it. Same idea as recall. A bit annoying if you can only pick up one thing at a time, but if you can pick up multiple as long as its the same substance, you can clean stains extremely easily too.
Also, I don't think you mentioned SAVING AND LOADING. That's the best power by far, and I'm disappointed that you didn't say ANYTHING about it.
Before watching i thought Ultrahand was best, but the video was very well reasoned and it changed my mind, good job!
I’ve only watched first few seconds of vid and I do agree recall is broken because you can just stop time while choosing what to move back in time before making any danger go away for example about to die because something is gonna hit you or collapse use recall not only do you have time to figure out what to do you can also avoid certain death. This would also be useful in every day life dirty dishes become clean broken objects fixed and if something is stuck you can get it undone in seconds.
earthwake sounds pretty neat imo, for infrastructure work. fist the ground and boom, you got trenches for sewage, cables, water ways, mass graves, road related stuff and other useful stuff. digging holes never going out of style. easy job, easy money
you could use recall to brake the law of conservation of energy, move a rock thu a water wheal witch would spin and make energy, then you can make the rock go back = more energy, not vary practical (in this scenario) but cool
