What are your favourite Ghost Towns/Ruins in Hyrule? 👀
They are all great
Castle town is very atmospheric and i love the atmosphere in both botw and totk anyway
I like Deya Village the most
I feel like these videos have a creepy aura around them 😂
@@Theonlyfloorboard i agreee
I wish we can play this Hyrule again but years in the future with all the towns rebuilt and explorable and the ranch being the headquarters of the stable guild.
Fan fiction writers, To your keyboards.!!!!
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that'll never happen
Probably won’t happen like that but the next Zelda game could still take place in era of the wild years after Totk . And we could see a rebuild Hyrule I mean Zelda did task Hudson with doing it right ? Let’s see his work
There is a mod for that called "Hyrule Restoration Project"
@@Bad616 the devs said they wouldn't make any more games in this version of Hyrule anymore...
Meaning the era of the wild has ended.
No DLC, no prequels, nothing...
I'm sorry to inform you of this, I wish it wasn't true
Seeing gloom hands for the first time was one of the few times in a video game where I genuinely felt terrified.
Playing the game for a while the terror is replaced with anticipation since I want the weapons and dark clumps. Kind of like hunting guardians and reflecting their lasers with pot lids honestly.
I just remembered panicking cause everything turned red😅
Me too. The super creepy music didn't help either 😱😭😨
What made it better was the surprise of it like there was no informing that even existed, that is what enhanced the terror. The surprise and unknown of it
@@tulip5210 exactly
Does Gorondia count as a ghost town? I really loved the idea of finding a city nobody has been in for thousands of years.
It should count for sure.
I wonder if in Totk's past they still lived there or just the temple remained since they used it to hide the secret stone.
I wanted to see more of Akkala. I was honestly disappointed that it was just a rocky cave.
They modeled the Akkala fortress' interior for Age of Calamity, they could literally just re-use that for TotK. AoC's world was so interesting since it was Hyrule before the Calamity, unfortunately we can only explore it in a fast-paced action game.
Today I found the snowball bowling cabin ruins in ToTK. My heart broke. I was all excited to talk to the old man, and didn't expect the broken, snowed in cabin.
I think he said "un-tailed tolls" at the beginning. Adorable!
was just about to comment this hahah
Tabantha Village Ruins holds a special place in my heart. I didn’t pay attention to it in Breath of the Wild, but I go through there fairly often in Tears of the Kingdom.
Opposite for me, I liked fighting the enemies there in botw. But I agree, I always wondered what life there would have been like before the calamity.
New DLC idea: we should get some DLC that allows us to rebuild castle town and Hyrule Castle after the fall of Ganon. I want to see what this place looked like when it was pristine.
This would be so awesome! However I fear we will never receive any DLC content, in an interview with the president of Nintendo or whatever, he stated as much saying they were done with this Hyrule and are moving onto the next iteration of the game....
It was the central hub of Hyrule Kingdom so take all the best parts of the other settlements and combined them for a fraction of the glory. Ganondorf really is a scourge of all that is good to ruin Hyrule like this...
I don’t think Shadow Hamlet will recover anytime soon, sadly. Just seeing the sparks flying from the well, and then going down into it to see a pit of lava? Yeah, I’m afraid there’s really no salvaging that place.
Centralia vibes
I've always been interested in Rauru Village. Why is it called that? Do the people remember why? There's hardly any clues besides the name .
I wonder if it was named after OoT Rauru or TotK Rauru...
@@sophitiaofhyrule TotK wasn't a thought originally, so it was OoT Rauru technically.
I would love to see one last return to this Hyule but like 500 to 1000 years in the future. The borders could have expanded, and the kingdom is thriving. It should be a huge map that doesn't just include the surrounding lands, but the Great Sea as well.
I would like to imagine that if they decide to use this, water will be part of the gameplay again. The ocean expansion would be pretty awesome.
Ever since Botw came out I've been waiting for the Zelda: Black Flag edition, pirate Link this time instead of Zelda
YES to all of this!
Ah, yes. The "untelled tolls", my favorite!
I thought I misheard at first :D
Haha, I was driving and just listening, and I was like...... "wait.... what?" I'm glad I heard that right. Hahaha
There's actually a simple and logical explanation for the Depths beneath Deya Village to resemble areas under lakes and such.
Naturally speaking, the area was a full lake. But at some point during the development of the Kingdom, people built a dam around what is now Deya Lake, letting them drain the area blocked off, maybe fill it with dirt obtained flattening another area, and build Deya Village in what was once a lakebed. The Depths reflects the lakebed that was once there. With the dam destroyed, the water has returned to the old lakebed, expanding the lake, but either from the lakebed being filled in with dirt or from time reducing the amount of water in the remaining portion of Deya Lake, the lake isn't as full as before, but over time it may return to what it once was, what the Depths reflects, unless people build a new dam and drain the area again to rebuild the village.
might be a whole lot easier for everyone to just tear down the remains of Deya village and move the village to be near the lake but not too far away from it. they could even use the ruins as building materials for roads and walls as such.
I way about to mention this exact idea! I don’t know the exact topography of the area but it makes a lot of sense. People may have originally flocked to the lake by the large tree - then as hyrule developed they decided to build a dam, allowing a town to be build where the lake was. Hyrule’s architects/city planners probably didn’t think about a risk like the Calamity and so as the kingdom expanded maybe this town was planned out and built (not as much of a natural development but an instance of medieval urban planning?)
I think another logical explanation is that the depths DO change as the surface does. If you go to the forgotten temple amd find the giant map of hyrule with the geoglyph locations, you’ll notice that the geography of the land looks different to how it does today. Various bodies of water flow differently to how they do now. Landmarks like the dueling peaks aren’t actually dueling yet bc it was still one mountain at the time of the maps’ creation. It’s entirely possible that the depths do actually match the surface 1:1 and will change in order to keep that true
I always thought this was due to the deep cavern under the town inside the wells….
I really hope we get a third game that adds more to the trilogy and better sky islands
Trilogy would be cool
Trilogy of the Wild(s)?
@@Levacque maybe
Mmmmm idk lol
We already have the trilogy: Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, and Tears of the Kingdom
2:29 if u read the sign you can see that it says “for Hyrule rebuilding” or something, just like everywhere else in the map, it just gives you things so you can build
But a restored castle town would make sense and Hudson would want that because he is literally the president of the only building company in all of hyrule
I think Shadow Hamlet would be a good little retreat for travelers even if it's not quite a stable... like the not-quite Pokemon Centers where you could still heal your buddies in certain places throughout the Pokemon series. A little place just outside the heat of Death Mountain that has a pot and a few beds would be an absolute Hyliasend.
0:46 The untale tolds of Hyrule are indeed my favorite Zelda lore topic
Maybe Deya Village is considered a large body of water because it was once a large natural lake, that was drained to construct the town for some reason, before it was reflooded during the Calamity
Maybe
I remember coming across the deya village ruins when first playing BOTW and upon seeing them it gave me a sense of melancholy. This little village that was nestled away in the hills not knowing the fate that was about to befall it. I would wonder around this area for a good while taking it all in. I did the same thing in TOTK but the gloom hands that resided there totally ruined it for me lol
I have always been deeply fascinated by Shadow Hamlet. The name alone makes it so interesting and it’s so far off any beaten path. I don’t think it will happen but watching your video really made me wish we‘d get a 3rd game set in this Hyrule but with everything restored and full of life again. I love how TotK gives us that in part already bc this time Hyrule is so much more alive and hopeful than it was in BotW.
It would be amazing if you could get Hudson to build your house there and relax in totk
Here is a question for a possible Theory: Why do the Dragons go into the Depths? What is there that makes them go down there? Up and through the Cloud Barrier makes sense. But, why the Depths? I guess maybe because there are some Zonai ruins down there?
Hiding from Link, who's mutilating them
Really wish we got to see these places restored in Tears of the kingdom. Even if they would be empty, and have an NPC say “we’re still waiting for someone to move in” or something like that. Hoping to see a Hyrule restoration in a possible DLC
Aonuma said there won't be DLC
One that no one likes to mention is Mabe Village. This village was the closest one to Hyrule Castle Town, and was another devastating one.
From the looks of it, this was, obviously, a very tiny village. The people who lived here also could of tended for the ranch since they were so close to it.
The worst thing is that this was a suuuper unprotected town. It was in center of the kingdom, with no walls or anything, right their in the lenient Hyrule Field.
The citizens would of probably had to rely on the protection of the Hyrule Field’s Garrison, since it doesn’t look like the King of Hyrule cared to put any knights our soldiers to protect the village, so probably the stronger people of the village did the actual central protecting of the village.
The citizens would have seen the giant cloud of malice in the sky, and evacuate. But the thing is, it’s a very homey village. Unlike other places, they relied on castle town since the ranch cant pay for everything.
In other words, literally all their life saving, stuff, etc was there. Even after the evacuation of the town, all there stuff would have been destroyed, so since they unfortunately had to evacuate quickly, they barely had any supplies.
They most likely tried to go to hateno, or the Hyrule Garrison and see that they STILL couldn’t be defended by the guardians from Castle Town.
Those who survived would have no where to go, with fort hateno’s battle raging on, and after a few hours, they would see there would be very risky, dangerous, and limited options.
Those who went to Hyrule Garrison would be met with the fact that it didn’t stop the guardians. Those who tried to go through the Ash Swamp to Hateno would be caught in the battle with Zelda and link.
Those who went even further to places like the Outpost, or the Great Plateau would be caught with guardians sooner or later.
The only safe places would be Hateno, which is out of the question, the Faron Woods, Lurlin Village, or the Gerudo Desert, which would be protected by the Gerudo Highlands just barely.
And they would still have to cross through the hot, unforgiving desert to get to the Kara Kara Bazaar, cross Faron and a few mountains to get to Lurelin Village.
Even at the Kara Kara Bazaar, or for the girls, Gerudo Town, there’s still the threat of the sandstorms cause by Vah Naboris.
And lastly, those who stayed in the Faron Woods would die out there, since they probably wouldn’t have known how to live in the wild, or they died by monsters.
This is why the story of Mabe Village is very much one of the worst, because being so close to ground zero of the calamity, they would have to quickly evacuate while literally leaving everything behind.
Some else I found interesting that adds to the tragedy of Mabe Village is that in Creating a Champion we see a guide on how soldiers and some survivors fled from Castle Town or Central Hyrule to Akkala Citadel
This would mean that they would have to go through Goponga Village and take the soldiers at Moor Garrison
The elderly or those who didn’t leave wouldn’t have any protection and would have been slaughtered at Goponga while the last stand with the Mabe survivors and the soldiers would have been for nothing
@@randomguy-cy9mz oh yeah, I forgot about akkala citadel.
Those who got there would of gotta trapped with a swarm of guardians at the bottom, and guardian skywalkers (I forgot the name) at the top.
Their defenses combusted and demolished after a few hours, and those who didn’t already die were trapped in a building with no escape because of the rubble, boulders, and cinderblocks blocking all exits, with guardians stalking the outside, limited supplies, etc.
Mabe Village SERIOUSLY had it rough during the calamity
@@QwertyWirt Mabe Village definitely did, but what do you think happened to Tabantha Village? It was out in the middle of nowhere, was it another guardian attack or did monsters destroy it??
@@randomguy-cy9mz from looking at the map, to active guardians in the area, I think Tabantha Village just got abandoned.
Before the calamity, we can see it was a mildly big and very populated village, home to Rito and Hylians.
No guardians would have been able to make it through the severe cold of Hebra, since only like 2 guardian sky walkers and other types of guardians were able to fly and/or across the Tanagar canyon and make it to the warmest parts of Hebra, very far away from any people settlements.
Guardians that were in places like the forgotten temple or around the North Lomei Labyrinth, were probably there for modern protection before the calamity. Those ones couldn’t really leave their areas, and decayed over type.
Tabantha Village wasn’t a main Hyrulean settlement, like Rito Village, which is probably where they got most of their materials from, like Mabe Village did with Castle Town, since these town weren’t too big, or special in any way.
They were known to sell Tabantha Wheat, but who has access to large grasslands and areas of it? Rito Village.
I think Tabantha Village fell because the kingdom fell. With the king dead, and killer robots roaming around the kingdom, it might as well have been the end of the world. Tabantha Village was a populated settlement, but Rito Village even more populated and probably had to start conserving materials with Vah Medoh looming around Hebra, so Tabantha Village didn’t have a product seller anymore.
The Rito who lived in Tabantha Village got lesser and lesser, until only the Hylians were left, who probably tried to voyage to Rito Village aswell, but since they couldn’t just fly there like the Rito, they tried to hike there, but while being short on supplies since Rito Village stopped selling goods to the village, they probably didn’t make it to the village, like the Mabe Village survivors.
I’d think there was probably another group of Tabanthan Hylians from the village who instead wanted to go to the nearest exchange that was in the Woodland Region, the Maritta Exchange, to trade what materials they had left for better things if the settlement was still intact.
Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. Like Tabantha Village, it was just abandoned, with barely anyone there, with only a few trying to trade garbage materials, and monsters starting to move in.
With Tabantha Village abandoned, storms, Hebran blizzards, and avalanches also picked up during the 100 years, and buried the village. Only a few buildings that were on the main path were completely buried in snow.
So, Tabantha Village was just neglected over the 100 years, and got abandoned. It was a great village shared with the Rito and the Hylians, and the most isolated Hylian settlement in all of Hyrule, until the calamity struck, and the people just got lesser and lesser.
Sorry these are always so long, lol
I just hate that the Castle was split apart in TotK - making it more difficult to explore. I was also disappointed that we could not explore the Great Hall in either game.
Age of Calamity kinda confirms Deya Village was still around before the Calamity. There’s a Quest that suggests the village Elder being a Seer of sorts and you talk to him to find parts for Tarrako.
I'm really sad there isn't going to be any DLC, because I'd love to have a mission rebuilding castletown & other ruins with Hudson Construction. Maybe even the option to build more custom homes in other regions on the map. 💔
I'd love to explore a huge town like the size of hyrule castle town in a future zelda game
I remember walking into Daya Village for the first time in BOTW. Not going to lie, as soon as it hit me what I was seeing, I got a little teary-eyed. Even more seeing it and other places return in TOTK. Great video, I feel like you definitely pinned the nostalgia some of us felt when playing these beautiful games.
I would love a game where we get to rebuild Hyrule maybe it could be a game we mostly play as Zelda and her struggle to be a princess and take care of all her people after everything has happened. It could mostly be a quest and resource gathering game and I'd be perfectly happy with it
I would LOVE that!!
I knew as soon as I saw Juney alone what had happened. It took a while to find Jogo though, and his new former-merchant wife in Yammo was a surprise. Good for him though.
I would honestly not mind paying full price for a BotW/TotK game where every settlement and town is built exactly as it was prior to the Calamity. Even if all you could do in the game was walk around and explore, I'd pay money for that. The history and lore behind this version of Hyrule is so enticing and makes me longing to see what the entire kingdom and all of its settlements looked like prior to being destroyed.
Looking at these abandoned villages, I was kinda hoping that maybe they were going to at least bring them back. What do I mean? For starters I was more curious on Castle Town really, I remember in Age of the Calamity we got to see each village in its glory before the destruction of the guardians and the Calamity took over. It was nice to see what these places once looked like before becoming ruin. I was really hoping for a blacksmith but sense majority of the weapons on the surface had decayed ( even the yiga weapons too ) I can understand them not wanting to add a blacksmith because of the use of fusing enemies horns onto weapons. Still it really would have been nice to see at least one village return. Like Lon Lon Ranch, that would’ve been a cool place to have a horse racing mini game or just a place to get unique looking horses that have unique stats.
I would love to learn more about the settlements of which we had a quick look in Age of Calamity such as Goponga Village, Hyrule Garrison, Outpost, East Post, Gatepost Town, etc :)
0:45 "I want to tell the untaled tolls"
I love it. I don't know if that was by mistake or a deviously crafted masterful play at seeming cute, but I love it.
0:45 In today's video, I want to tell the untaled tols of Hyrule's forgotten ghost towns in the day and age of Tears of the Kingdom." That was way too funny for a simple slip of the tongue.
The Fire Wizrobe slaughter was a pretty brutal one
I really wish we got to see some of these villages rebuilt, didnt need to have any meaningful content but having people and house there makes the kingdom feel that much more alive.
"Untaled toles" right at the beginning made me smile :D
0:48 Did you just say "untaled tolds"?
Perhaps, by mistake lol
Deya village could have always been built on a dry lake bed, and now that the village is gone the lake is slowly coming back
Throughout playing TotK I completely forgot that the Serene Stable was there let alone go down that road because I was heading to the Rito village early on and finding the tear pool.
It’s honestly saddening that it only took 5 years for the new generation of Hyrule’s population to believe the great calamity to be nothing but a scary story. It really is possible that all of these places and what brought their fate will be forgotten by the masses in mere decades
Lore reasons Deja Ruins is blocked off in the underground: the depths clearly change to reflect the status of surface Hyrule, as evidenced by other things reflecting modern changes. Like some sort of magic, like a dark world/lorule type thing.
Real/game reason: All standing water in BotW is made by drawing up the water table on the map, so in order to make a depths below Hyrule but above that water table they had to make walls underneath every body of water. Otherwise we'd just see giant walls of water everywhere.
I feel so nostalgic with totk, it's been already 4 long months. I remember fondly the day it was released ❤❤
Yup 😄
I absolutely loved this video!! Definitely a new favourite, I adore the style and felt nostalgic right along with you.
Tysm Ashley! ✨️
Im hoping that the next title will let us explore a much more alive hyrule, whether it be the same hyrule or not
imagine there was a game mode in totk where you can access a save via the main menu after beating ganondorf with tons of post game content (like rebuilding hyrule questlines), but you can still go back to your regular game, meaning that it's in two different save files
00:47 the untaled toles ah yes my favorite LOL just bustin on ya
We need a DLC similar to Skyrim's Hearthfire. And its focus is re-building hyrule, with options to do the original buildings, the houses from Hutson's construction or are own amalgamation of a "building".
A good start would be building a proper forge and lumber mill. Having to bring raw ore to look out landing along with other materials.
That would be cool but it looks like DLC won't be happening
0:47 "tell the untelled tolls" 😂
Ooh can't wait for this one. Your vids always bring something to look forward to. Thanks buddy
Thanks, that really means a lot to me :D
you’re doing amazing with these videos! keep it up! ❤
Thanks a ton, I appreciate ya! 🙏✨️
@@HyruleGamer appreciate you too homie! 🖤
1:00 this is probably the first time I've ever seen you feature a live snack.
Oh wait, I see the bowl now.
I’ve been wanting some new Zelda videos to cheer me up. Thanks man!
Appreciate ya chossing to check out mine, hope you enjoy! :D
I miss the serene stable I used to go there Al the time I just loved it sm
Is it ever explained in the game why it was moved?
Me too, really nice spot!
What a fun video idea! I'd love to see more like this especially as we move closer to spoopy season!
Thanks a ton Kat, noted! (Great idea)
@@HyruleGamer I agree with Shepard, there are so many locations hidden like Tabantha or Goponga Village that could be touched on
Another idea I had is the dark implication of Scouts Hill the scout would have seen the calamity and soon slaughtered by Guardians too soon to warn anyone
Hey HG, nice video. I wanted to bring up something about Salari Plain.
I believe there was a settlement here To the west of circle of trees. It is one of the few spots around the map that has a Zelda Memorial at it. We don't know much about it, but across the ridge is the ruins of Tabantha Village.
that's the Maritta Exchange ruins. it was a trade exchange, I believe.
@@rabbitkins_ It might be. There is also Gatepost Town around there too.
That little ruin is very interesting indeed, perhaps I'll cover it soon!
@@PixelFusionProductions no, Gatepost Town is along the road leading up to the Great Plateau.
I love so many of your still shots and slow panning shots. 😮
Nice, glad to hear that!
I wish we could explore the world both before the calamity and a long while after totk. No plot necessary, I just want to explore. I know this will literally never happen, but it would be so fun imo
I can’t help but imagine the serene stable just hovering down the path to relocate 😂
It is soo sad that you cant rebuld hyrule😢... gues i have to play hyrule warrios to see is in his glory
I agree......The whole side quest to rebuild Lurelin Village kind of lured me into this false sense of hope or line of thought that basically said "Oh? You get to rebuild this village? ......Does that mean......You get to rebuild all of Hyrule?!?!" only to think "........Oh......." when that thought was proven wrong. Well, darn......Maybe in game 3 if they make the Wild games a trilogy!
Yeeeeaaah
Daya village is the old fishing pond. The founder daya being the granddaughter of the fisherman in oot. We meet her in twilight princess. When I first found it in botw, I was emotionally devastated, and slaughtered all enemies there! 💔😥
I would love a dlc where you help rebuild ruins like we did in Lurelin Village. Or it happening in a new game taking place after the events of totk. You have no idea how much money I would pay to be able to renovate the castle as a like and restore it as a side quest or something. Like being able to replace the ripped apart portraits in the castle with pictures from my Purah Pad and chosing what colors/furniture/flags go where. Kind of based off of the house thing near Terry Town
I didn't play Zelda at all before BOTW, but I love these new games so much, and if it hasn't already been covered, I would love to see the next game be set in the Great Calamity, 100 years prior to BOTW
Check out Age of Calamity, it's a spin off but it does take place in that timeframe. Very different style of gameplay and made by different devs but still cool for the story aspect!
after finishing totk I was thinking "there's no way nintendo is gonna make a third game in this hyrule" but after seeing this video, I can totally see a 10-15 time skip where all the time was spent rebuilding these settlements and maybe this games villain isn't going for complete destruction, but some other goal so that not as much gets destroyed. Maybe a story centered more around Link and Zelda personally as opposed to just saving hyrule a third time.
loved this video! these settlements are so interesting
Happy to hear, thanks!
Being a Nintendo game BotW/TotK doesn't show us much about the massive casualties done by the calamity. That must be the reason why looking at these ghost towns closely gives us a different kind of feeling of loss.
BotW Master Works even wrote something about how architects and their knowledge, especially stoneworks, must be mostly lost, wiped out by the calamity. Restoration of Hyrule is in a much more troublesome state than I could have imagined myself.
0:47 "the untaled tolls"
Haha, did you say “untaled tolds” in the intro? 😂
Awesome video as always though!
Oops haha, thanks!
0:48 The untelled tolds? Yeah, that could have been me XD
Clean thumbnail! Also loved the Mario Galaxy music. Always a good choice ^^
Thanks Don! 🤙
You can actually explore Mabe Village and Lon Lon Ranch in the first level of Age of Calamity
On the inside??
@@HyruleGamer Well you can't go into the buildings just walk around in the racetrack and see the completed village
Please do a video on the lesser known locations like the buildings next to the temple of time or the ruined city next to the great plateau
Awesome Video Bro!
0:59 Bro thought that he could sneak in that mousepad hell nahhhh
I really hope Nintendo doesn't go the whole post apocalypse route for the next Zelda game. I want to explore an alive and bustling Hyrule. Just think if you get to experience a Hyrule in its prime with another world to explore like The Twilight Relam or the Dark world.
A game that takes place in the age of the Zonai and Sheikah would be so interesting. They could also make a game with the ancient hero as the main character. It would be an interesting change and they could make him talk because he isn't Link
please talk about the reason behind monsters mining zonaite in the depths.
It would be an interesting thing to discuss, and one that is partially addressed in the game. There are various diaries in the Depths you can find that written by various explorers, including the Yiga. I remember one such diary discussing how the monsters in the Depths never sleep, and are constantly mining Zonaite ore for their master (Ganondorf). So, with that, we know why they're doing it........Boss's orders.......The next question is what'd he want it for?
The untaled toles. Haha. Excellent video!
GREAT Content and Lore Research!! Love It!! I always had an affinity toward the Akkala Citadel Ruins. Especially the LINK between "The Great Bandit Misko" and the Fierce Deity Set. Which **SPOILER ALERT** the armor piece is located "...beneath the bedchamber of Akkala's red-crowned citadel". That Misko...What a rascal! I wish there was more lore on his exploits and the lore behind the great chef Aurie Taamu. Cheers.
Thanks a lot! 🤙
I think that shadow hamlet was destroyed by lava, because you can see what looks like cooled down lava dripping off the edge of the cliff. In totk you can see this same cooled down lava texture in areas that had lava waterfalls in botw
"Un-taled toles" was my favorite part of the intro.
Thanks lol
I love this version of Hyrule so much, and I'm sad we might never ever see it again. I hope lowkey that BOTW and TOTK are a soft reboot and that they represent the origin of the open world franchise, kinda like downfall is the 2d franchise. that way future hyrules can at least have callbacks to this hyrule, like its rito! :D
The reason why the water in deya is a wall in the underground is because they pulled up water from the bottom of the world to the top. There could still be some wlore related reason though.
I loved that there was a Gerudo Cemetery in the depths although it really only served light item-based purposes and not something to actually explore. I wish they did more with the cemetery. Also, I was actually very disappointed with the Poes in this game. Poes are one of my absolute favorite Zelda enemies and now they’re reduced to ‘items.’ I really wanted to see a really cool lantern-carrying entity in Totk style. I also reeeeeaaallly love exploring the castle this time, too, especially with the music that plays in the castle now in this game. Totk’s castle theme music is soooooooo creepy and ominous and cool!!!
0:47 tell the untaled tolls
Came here for the untelled tolls as opposed to the untold tales of Hyrule
My favorite is Tabatha Village ruins given it's odd but cozy location.
DLC, rebuild the kingdom. Link's adventure with Hudson
"i want to tell the untaled tolls" lol
0:45
W video as always keep it up man god bless👍🏻
Thank you so much! :D
I know it's not particularly 'canon', but some of these ghostly places can be explored in Age of Calamity in their former glory, including the Ranch.
Granted, for time-based missions there isn't much leeway to run around, but I distinctly remember the map of the ranch during a sidequest that involved the mastery of double-handed weapons. I was so busy looking around I failed it the first time, haha.
It's been ages (pun may or may not be intended) since I played, but I still remember that quire well. Of course I could be mistaken about it being that particular ranch but I recall it being in central Hyrule so I think that's the one. Would have to fire up the game again to be sure though.
Oh man. I had never played a Zelda game until about 6 months ago. Never owned a Nintendo until recently.
But botw and totr stand out as games that ditch 4k, ray tracing etc etc for a beautiful lower Res graphics and physics. It's puts other stuff to shame. The switch has nothing like the kind of power in a pc or Xbox/ps5. But they put the emphasis where it counts.
Me: I'll take a break from planning DnD to eat dinner, and watch some youtube
Hyrule Gamer: Get a snack before watching!
Me, looking at the burger in my hand: I like this guy already!
Awesome!
If we do visit a different area in the next game, I really hope we come back to this version of hyrule, but fully rebuilt. And, maybe as can find Kass

Honestly it seems like everytime there's a huge catastrophe in Hyrule , Hyrule Castle and Castle Town are always in the center of it. That's more than enough evidence for me if I were Hylian to decide to settle elsewhere even if the castle and town were rebuilt good as new.
There is either a barracks or a small ghost town that is to the Southwest from Central Hyrule, it has Lizalfos in the area and if you find the well and go down you will find one of the spots where the Master Sword had been held at some point before being moved to the Lost Wood's. There are a few stone slabs that tell you that "It at one point had been a hiding place for the Master Sword before it had been relocated to Lost woods."
That's referring to the Sword of the Sages actually, which is found at Typhlo Ruins. At least if you're talking about what I think you are.
@@QuasarEE nope, it's further south, and it looks like the typical ruins until you go into a wall where it'll tell you that it is "One" of the resting places where the Master Sword had been before being moved to the Lost Woods, I'm sure if you look for it you'll see what I mean. Start at Central Hyrule, head west until you see the river and head south until you get attacked by Lizalfos with zap fruit around that area should be a well and once you jump down it it'll tell you on a stone slab that "This area had been an area where the Master Sword once was, before being moved to the Lost Wood's."
@@sodajesus8128 Yeah, no, I think you're misremembering. Underground in the Sage Temple Ruins is a stone that says, "A sword was enshrined in this temple to honor the sages. It was moved to Typhlo, north of the Great Forest of Hyrule." It's referring to the Dusk Claymore that you get in Typhlo Ruins.
@@BFDreaming Honestly I probably am remembering it wrong, but that's the thing I don't remember the words Typhlo Ruins in it. I remember it saying there is a sacred sword that had once been here before being moved. It's been awhile since I beat TotK.
And still no spooky ghost enemies. Not many ghosts in general :(

FR, WHAT'S WITH THAT!?
@@HyruleGamer haha ye! For a game so heavily focused on a devastated kingdom who has lost so many people, there’s surprisingly not a lot of spirits/ghosts of the dead with the exception of skeletons. But the skeletons aren’t even from hylians. Tloz is no stranger of having more “living dead” emphasis.
There could’ve even been hylian spirits on the surface that could be talked to and had some side quests with them perhaps only appearing at night time. Also some hostile hylian spirits or something
