    About the first fact, this is actually a separate weather type referred to in the files as 'BlueSkyRainPat,' or small rain showers under a blue sky. Each region has a different chance for this weather phenomenon to happen, so it's actually something that's intended, and not a glitch

    I don't think the Bokoblins close one eye to show they're bad with the bow (they aren't, their targeting skills are pretty accurate). I think it's because they have a head that's a foot wide with their eyes having a huge gap in between them. It's probably got something to do with how their vision cones don't overlap for a solid 8 to 10 inches in front of their faces, meaning their parallax perception at distance but makes objects closer to them, like the bow, a lot harder to properly focus on while ALSO looking at their target.

      when you're shooting, even if you have both eyes open, you still sight down your target with just your dominant eye. The point of keeping both eyes open is to avoid losing your peripheral vision and, in consequence, pick out new targets more easily. Olympic archers often shoot with just one eye open, since they get no benefit from having both open.

    Wetness is probably a build-up status effect like poison in Dark Souls. Therefore, having your model only a bit in the water means you are adding to your wetness buildup while having most of it out dries you, lowering that buildup, but not as fast as if you just stepped out of the water. Like using a moss clump while in the poison swamp. You are still accruing poison, but the moss slows it down so much, that it seems like you aren’t building up poison at all.

    The fact that Nintendo started making "useless" information/events in 3D Zelda games back in 1998 (OoT) (and was actually in 1996 in the development of OoT they decide to start making the world react more realisticly, whee signs break and float on water in a certain way), it is never useless!

    every time I see a video of "useless information" about a video game I very happily settle in, because this lore isn't actually useless in the slightest... for fanfic writers. writers of all kinds end up needing the most OBSCURE information for writing things and fanfic writers are no exception.
    really liked that you caught the bit about revali having his red cheek spots! there is in fact one (1) confirmed adult rito who also has them, kass, but my running theory is that it's sort of a "young at heart" marking in his case. I've heard that revali is significantly smaller than the other confirmed adult rito models though, so... either he's just really short, or he very much was a kid when he died. teenager, probably, which... well, it sure does put a lot of how he acts in a different light when you look at him through that lens, doesn't it?

    Weird fact/glitch? If you turn the camera overhead, looking down at Link while enemies(it might only be Bokoblins and Stalblins) are shooting at him, the arrows will always miss, even when he's running around. Makes a somewhat decent way of farming for arrows.
    One of my favorite things about this game is the temperature mechanics, and the different ways temperature resistant armors and elemental weapons affect it. It was so fun to discover I could explore Hebra with just the Warm Doublet if I just kept hold of a Fire Rod or Flame Sword.
    Also the Desert was the most fun in this regard with how drastically different the temperature is depending on the hour. I greatly appreciated the attention to detail. Also love the implication that this is so far in the future the entiretly of the Arbiter's Grounds complex is completely buried in sand, to the point where the only visible ruins would HAVE to be the pillars where the flags had once flown.
    I have a desert obsession, okay-
    To add on to Brigo, he is a tribute to Kevin Briggs, a retired patrol officer who has saved HUNDREDS of lives preventing people from jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.

    After already having had played way too many hours of this game, I took a break for a pretty long while. So long, in fact, that my old switch broke and I got an OLED, yet I still had not picked botw back up because I was honestly kind of sick of it after having played it so much. It’s been SO long that I can’t even see how long I’ve played it from my switch profile!
    But I think this marks the moment I decide to go back. Yes, I did play Skyward sword on Wii, yes I did play Twilight Princess, I played all of the Bioshock games, and I bought Fenyx (plus expansion packs) and I have not finished the base game yet, BUT FENYX CANNOT COMPARE. I have MONTHS until TOTK comes out, and IM READY TO COME BACK HOME!
    So, what has caused me to break my fast? What gameplay element exites me to such an extent that I would abandon every other game that I’m still yet to complete just to feel whatever sweet somethings it might provide me with?
    Armor upgrading. I’m going to visit those beautiful fairies and I’m going to get those massive smooches and I’m going to hear that beautiful song that I will never be able to play on piano because you’re playing triplets on one hand and sixteenth notes on the other and that is an INSANE expectation and yet that FUCKING SONG IS SO GOOD DUDE.

    That shed on Link's house, I think I counted 8 or so in Hateno Village. I assumed that they might be medieval bathrooms. I don't know about the Sheikah, Zora, Rito or Gorons, but Humans have need for bathrooms. There was one, for example, on Skyloft, a place which housed every Human and not much else. Also at the Human-run Stock Pot Inn, or in the Human settlement of Lynna Village. Gerudo are Humans so there may be some somewhere in Gerudo Town (they have the necessary running water). And we all know about what Koroks do. Koroks, who are evolved from Kokiri, who are Hylian children taken in by the Deku Tree to avoid industrialisation.
    Those other 4 settlements have no bathroom stuff. Maybe their races are more efficient in digestion. Sheikah seem to be able to eat Bokoblin Guts, so maybe they can 100% efficiency eat... any organic stuff, extracting nutrients and energy from all of it and leaving no waste.
    And Gorons I assume just assimilate the rocks they eat, probably onto their hides where their babies seem to spontaneously grow.

    The materials thing is a result of the game handling all materials as post-process materials, rather than assigning each and every object its own material, which in game dev is a pretty big reason for performance drops, as every time a material is loaded in, memory has to do something called a "Draw Call", which pulls that material and all of its related assets, into memory to be called onto the GPU.
    Breath of the Wild takes a different approach - instead of assigning each object its own material, everything just has the same standard material (except water which is rendered after everything else), and based on camera position and a bunch of camera maps like depth, world space normals, etc, the camera draws each object's materials based on a stencil layer. Most GPUs allow for around 16 stencil layers at minimum.
    So for example, each "material" in that list is actually how the objects are sorted into stencil layers. The GPU then takes the lighting data on each frame, per object, and draws the material shader, rather than calling it from memory - which is likely why BotW ends up not having as many performance issues as most other open-world games on the Switch which are made with more traditional material systems.

    My best guess for the glitch at 3:19, is due to the funky collision of the low-poly Temple of Time. Looking at the mesh and textures of the TOT in this state meant that it wasn't fully loaded in it's normal poly state because of the BLSS.

    Glitch that happened to me:
    One time, around my fourth playthrough, I got to the yiga hideout. Being the coward I was, I tried to use revali's game (up the ladder, next to the banana room) and got stuck in the roof. I couldn't move, or do anything. It was basically like camera mode, except bad. I'm not sure if I could trigger it again, but I don't really want to.

    The Julian shield you purchase from Grante isn’t actually an indistinguishable replica, because that one doesn’t have modifiers whereas the one in hyre castle can. Granted you need a lot of xp (watch croton) to get a modifier, but it is possible and you can get I think over 1000 durability with that if you’re lucky
    I thought there were two triggers to allow the day night cycle, the cutscene at the SoR and the cutscene at the first tower?

    I think you could make an argument for Demise/Ganon creating Moblins with their eyes on the side. Not with the intend for them to be bad at fighting (which they sort of are, as they're incapable of hitting you with two handed weapons if you're up close - their wide swings make up for that.
    But instead, they're towering over the other creatures, mainly the Bokoblin masses, and their wide field of view thus makes them mobile watchtowers if you put them into an army/battle setting. They fill the support role for an army, rather being the main blunt force. Bokoblins being the cheap masses, Lizalfos are specialists, Moblins the towering spotters, and the rare Lynels the impervious commanders.
