#BOTW - Hry
We’re continuing on next year! What was your favorite thing you learned this time?
First comment pog
Difficult to say which one I liked best, I like a lot of them!
Welp i actually didnt know a single one so thanks to you!
The barral one is my favorite.
Head shotting chuchus in the eyes...
I always thought the idea of the Master Sword rusting was odd, considering it's a divine weapon. It being covered in Malice makes way more sense. It would also explain why it's spotless when Link gets it again, since it would purify itself of the Malice.
I figured if it was rusting it's because it's directly connected to Link and as his body is damaged so is the sword
@@Whofan06 Interesting! I wonder if that would correspond with the concept art of it being scarred and partially broken. And considering what the memory at Fort Hateno shows, you might not be far off...
i thought it was just dirt tbh
I figured that it was blood that Link and Zelda were also covered in when you watch the cutscenes. Best way to keep younger rating was to make it look like dirt and bruises.
I thought that the stuff on it was mud they hadn't wiped off yet.
There is an alternate cutscene for the final memory. When Impah points to the framed photo of Fort Hateno as your clue, you can take a picture of it with the Sheikah slate. When you go to that memory spot and activate the cutscene, Link will pull out the Sheikah slate and view the photo like he would with the other pre-installed photos. On the other hand, if you figure out that the location is Fort Hateno and don't need to take a picture, the cutscene will play differently and shows Link just jogging his memory without looking at a picture (the same animation used when he remembers Mipha after her dad jogs his memory).
I don't know how well this other one is known, but you can feed a horse apples straight out of your hands instead of dropping apples on the ground. Just hold them and walk up close enough to the horse.
And if you're fast enough, pressing B to put back the apple while the horse trying to bite the apple will not reduce the amount of apple, but will still improve your horse friendship
I did not know that about the alt 13th memory animation!! That is super cool
Yep I found that out. And i only feed horses apples right out of Link's hands. It feels more genuine and like Link is really bonding with the horse.
I figured that scene on my first play.
Since I got a goldfish memory. I just
want to take a picture as a reminder.
@@krysivory493 yeah me too, but I never got it without a picture 😅
Its really impressive how they always get even more things we didnt know
Especially since they steal most of these from strangers on the internet
@@taker601 Well duh, I wouldn't expect any single person to discover every secret in a game.
@@taker601 don’t you have a Reddit thread to be moderating somewhere?
@@austins.2495 what are you talking about? Are you saying nasis is wrong for pointing out the fact that GameSpot never credits people?
@@austins.2495 Get your head out of the cloud dude... The people who spent hours discovering these glitches and tricks deserve to be credited. But GameSpot just takes their ideas and uses them as their own.
Tip: Guardians are weak to water, like rivers. You'd expect an ancient race of people who have mysteriously powered machines would be able to water proof them, but I guess water sealing was reserved for Vah Ruto.
Very odd since the ancient springs are supposed to float in water
Guardians are IP6X only, says so on their manual. Trust me I've seen it.
Thank you smmm
@@ekikoo no
may be the malice isnt waterproof?
Wearing the Thunder Helm whilst holding a barrel to take absolutely zero damage from electrical arrows is such a silly combination of things and I love it xD
Something I just noticed about the Sword Room in the Master Trials: the Hebra Mountain picture in the room has no hole in it, meaning that the Sword Room was made before that hole was
I think it’s explained that Vah Medoh was inside the mountain, and extracting it made the big hole
@@ukemi- I also like the theory that it was made by a divine beast laser during the battle 10,000 years ago, possibly dating it older than the room.
@@annalisebarrett7811 It definitely seems like that's the case, and if you walk to the giant hole, it seems to have been crystalized/glassed somewhat on the surface due to the extreme heat.
@@hungphan6159 seeing the word glassed brings back some halo reach ptsd
Let's be honest, when we had our eyes on the final upgrade of the Master Sword, you would skip the scenery.
I never played zelda games growing up, but I just started this game like a week ago and I am hooked!
BotW is Zelda only in name and little else though. You should give the other ganes a try!
@A B The one that is actually close to it is the first Zelda, where you could spend hours investigating to find Level 5 or 8, paaaaaaaaain
@@ChampionRevilo botw is still very much zelda, it just broke up with the rules, the series identified itself with for a long time.
@@ChampionRevilo
The other Zelda are just as good but stop slandering botw lol
Botw still very much a Zelda
welcome to the fam man, the older games have a few different styles but they're all fantastic!
There is something I'd like to add about #17. I don't know if anyone else noticed this as well, but the place where you fight Calamity Ganon underground actually has the same background as the Trial of the Sword dome. It's harder to notice while you're fighting for your life and all, but it's there.
You can also save a falling horse by warping away mid-fall. Then you just have the stable staff fetch the horse for you. I believe there is a minimum distance away you have to warp though, so warp to the opposite side of the map to be safe.
Each time I watch one of these videos I'm like "yeah yeah sure, I probably already know all of these" and yet here I am, watching a frozen horse hit the ground in one piece. What a fantastic game.
Awesome how these aren’t click bait and are actually cool and useful
They're click bait alright...everybody already knows all of this stuff. Every time they come out with an "# of things you didn't know about BotW," it always turns out to be common knowledge.
@@vgnvideogameninja2930 I imagine you didn’t watch the video or your a speed runner if you knew all these
@@dougalbadger4918 Nah, they're just a toxic 9 year old. Look at some of their other comments.
some of them are.
I didn't now relax but I want to ask so I did the no slate glitch and my glider didn't work anymore did I do something wrong
What the French toast….this game is so crazy. I can’t believe people are still finding out new gaming functionality after all these years.
Ha ha I say that also! What the French Toast!
Liking this comment for "What the French toast" alone.
This is the only series I watch every time, and I always enjoy it.
Guys! In the final room of trial of the sword, there is a hollow area in death mountain that is shaped like divine beast vah rudania! I'm so happy I found it because I wasn't satisfied since all other divine beasts are portrayed and mentioned, so I figured vah rudania must be in there too somewhere. I guess they portrayed it using the silhouette to make it easier to notice on the death mountain, or it's just another nice touch of creativity. I love this game so much, thank you to the creators and the community!
The diorama around the area at the end of the Trial of the Sword is actually a re-used asset from the arena where you fight Calamity Ganon, which is referred to internally as the observatory.
#14 it isnt a development mistake, theres steel in the stone, the stone just covers it. So when you shoot, the stone part gets removed
The realisation that Link's sister is now older than him and probably dead just hit me like a truck
The deeper you go into this series, the more likely I am to not know the things. In this video it was a full 19 things I didn't know!
#9: Use an Octoballoon to move the slates and boulders instead of Stasis & whacking with a weapon OR Magnesis & a metal object. Slates and most boulders only need one Octoballoon; just attach it to the slate/boulder and it will float up and away. Boulders that are larger than Link is tall need two Octoballoons. If you see the message "You can't hold that here" when trying to take Octoballoons out of inventory, step away from the slate/boulder, take out the Octoballoon(s), then move close to the slate/boulder and attach the Octoballoon(s).
But that uses up octo balloons, and if you don't have a decent amount (e.g. 100-200), its much more cost efficient to use a metal weapon, shield or bow.
@@peanut6862 What's it used for then, if not for floating things? Are there any super cool upgrade which use octoballons?
@@dsknight0922 I believe the zora armour requires octo balloons to be upgraded, and besides, just because it is there, doesn't mean it has to have a use. This is a possible solution to move boulders, but not the best one. I honestly don't think octo balloons will feel left out just because we don't use them. Also, there are some glitches/challenges (such as arrow smuggling and stepless Eventide) which require octo balloons, so they are not useless.
Just make sure to be clear when they pop.
@@peanut6862 IDK where in Hyrule you're coming across that many slates and boulders you must move that you need "100 - 200" Octoballoons to make substituting them for stasis + whacking a viable alternative. The only boulder I've needed 2 Octoballoons to move is the large one blocking the entrance to the hidden weapon cache cave near Gerudo Tower. Link is able to squeeze past it to enter that cave; I just find it easier to get it out of the way.
It’s crazy how many things you can do in that game, I definitely go back every few months to do a new play through. Never gets old
BOTW never ceases to amaze 😳
2:48 a slightly depressed young hinox who just wants friends would be a neat side quest for unblocking a bridge to let some traveler cross, who eventually becomes friends with the hinox, and you could find them throughout the land doing various things
Fun Fact: In the final room of the trial of the sword, the same wall patterns can also be seen in the final boss fight in the underground area.
Unbelievable after all these years, you are still taking us to school on botw details.
You can’t be serious bro, there’s still more?!?!?! It’s been nearly 4 years and we’re still learning things about this game. Goes to show you how much of a masterpiece this game truly is.
During the Maz Kosha fight, you can use the upgraded sheikah sensor to track the real Maz Kosha and tell him apart from the copies
The finale trial of sword room, has the same walls of the place where we fight ganon
I think Rin mentioned this in a previous video, but the room where you fight Ganon appears to be an observatory/map room, so it would make sense!
Botw is incredible but it’s you guys to credit for compiling all these interesting facts and quirks. Game on dudes!
Just shows how in depth this masterpiece is!
This game keeps on giving! Going onto five years! I am enjoying this treasure hunt!
The fact that we're still learning new stuff about this almost half decade old game, is a legend.
Fair enough.
5:46
How in the world did you do this?? I have never liked the slate on Links belt, I always have thought it ruins cool armor sets. I looked for tutorials on the internet, but I saw no way to explain the glitch.
The fact that people are still making videos about this game is amazing
Now it's 7 years old today and there are still new videos about it, even with the sequel out.
I love this series, I've watched every episode since the first, and I hope you keep going strong!
I’ve been looking forward to this! Awesome vid as always 👏
Lots of great things I didn't know in this video as always. Love the durability tip
Robbie's view isn't surprising since Purah's telescope is also aimed at the Ancient Furnace. Figure it was their way of keeping an eye on the flame without having to go all the way over it it all the time
Purah's telescope is aimed at Kakariko village I believe?
I know I'm late, but finally someone covered the trial of the sword room! I noticed that I think my second time completing that DLC and I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice it.
Great one as expected! Keep these videos coming. I have finished the game several times over and usually only know a couple (if any) of these tidbits.
these videos are just becoming a testament to how insanely perfect this game's physics engine is
Breath of the Wild is like Resident Evil 4 to me. My expectations for both were ridiculously high but they both somehow managed to surpass them and they remain some of my favourite games of all time (RE4 will always be number 1 for me, it's perfect).
Cannot wait for BotW2!
Literally my exact thoughts. Not to brag, but i can usually tell when a game is going to be amazing. I wasnt even into the Resident Evil series, but i had a subscription to Nintendo Power at the time, and every few months they would show screenshots and updates on the game, and i knew it was going to be mind blowing.
Re4 and Botw are also my favorite games. And i agree, i would put Re4 slightly above due to replay ability.
@@TheAlibabatree Great minds!
1 more random fact: Thunderblight Ganon made me go through the 5 stages of grief. I started off saying he was cheating (denial), then I got angry at the game (anger), then I started negotiating with ganon (to no avail. bargaining), then I broke down into tears (depression) and finally I beat him by just accepting that this was going to be a hard fight (acceptance). This happened over the course of 1 and a half hours.
Cool info on Link's family! Great series as always.
This video has just confirmed how amazing BOTW is, after 4 years that the game launched.
#4 When the horse was approaching the ground while frozen, I morbidly pondered what if the ice would shatter upon hitting the ground, leaving no horse behind?
4:00 are those joints by his glasses?
Wow GameSpot showed the horse trick I discovered, epic
I saw you on the news!
GameSpot: Horse falling? just shoot it with an ice arrow
Me, with inventory filled with 5-shot savage lynel bows: *profuse sweating*
1:37 you can just use the horse god when it lands
I never even thought about shooting the moblin platforms! That in itself was new for me.
I knew none of these. First video in this series so far where I haven't known anything on the list. Love your work
Man, Red Dead Redemption 2 has nothing on this game’s many tricks and details that people are still finding years after release
2:26 why isn't this sound in final game, this sound awesome and like real sword
9 (lifting the stasis-able slab) can also be done with octo balloons, by far my favourite use for them
Been playing this game since it first came out and I’m on my like 12th play through currently and I still am learning from your videos! I didn’t know a lot from this one. Thank you we love you❤️
im so curious, how many hours have you banked in the game now :)
@@ab17364 awww thanks for asking! Well I can’t say for sure tbh because I have had two switches. And I have two accounts, one for master mode one for regular. The master mode one isn’t linked to Nintendo. But my regular account says 300 hours, I’ve had this switch for about 6 months now ❤️
Pulling out the ancient shield but not parrying a guardian beam automatically directs it back to the guardian
On number 4, when you said you may have accidentally let a horse fall down a cliff, it made me laugh, since I did that on purpose! 😂
Hello there Game Spot! I’m new here, so I’m not sure if you knew this already, but if you don’t have heat resistant gear or food, you can drop chuchu jelly and then smash it with a weapon. This will temporarily cool you down since there is water coming out of the Jelly! Just a small tip
"It's crazy how this game has been out for 230 years and yet we keep finding these little details"
I cannot believe that botw has so many secrets
idk if I can give ideas in the comments or if you already knew this but I accidently found that you can reflect octorock rocks with the master sword beam let me know if any1 knew this
If an enemy is shooting a fire arrow at you and you shoot a regular arrow through the fire on the midflight fire arrow it will light your arrow on fire
The scenery in the Trial of the Sword was awesome!
I have watched almost all of these, and due to the overwhelming amount of information, I can conclude that I have probably forgotten the things I didn't know about BOTW *after knowing them*
In that scene in the rain where Zelda mentions Link's father, Link isn't just practicing his sword fighting form. He's slicing through droplets of rain in half as they fall; you can see them splatter as he cuts through them in the scene. Pretty raw if you ask me.
I never noticed that...
Clean informative video as always! Thank you
I got BOTW on launch day. There's still hundreds of things I haven't done yet in it. What a game.
Who knew an egg could protect you from a guardian? I didn’t that’s for sure
Keep it up you are doing amazing.
1:20 I knocked that Moblin down to the bottom of the waterfall and he was STILL ALIVE while FULLY UNDER THE WATER
This game never stops being amazing. I have so much nostalgia for it already despite it being still new
I got one people probably don't know. In Kakariko village, there is an NPC who sells you arrows and gives you a quest to light the torches afire with your bow and arrow. She has optional dialog if you do not light the torches using a bow and arrows.
so basically I know nothing about this game
I really like the facts about things in plain sight you never notice and development changes
1:25 - I've never done that, no. But I can admit I've rewatched this next few seconds about 20 times because I can't stop laughing!!!
Hehehe enjoy the series but you’ve basically taught the algorithm you are a “Things about Zelda” channel :D
Still the greatest game of all time
I was doubtful that you could show me something I hadn't seen before, but you proved me wrong ! Thank you !
Brilliant as always! I learnt so much
I think the reason that it turns smooth is because the ball is inside the rock. 5:20
Yes because covering a cannonball in solid rock makes so much sense.
I've got two for you! If you are weaponless, you can use a lit barrel to light a campfire.
But the best one is if you activate weapon smuggling or bow smuggling before you pick up the final trial master sword. I suggest using an elemental rod, but the bladesaw is great as well!
I can't remember very well anymore, but on Satori Mountain, close to a tree above a tunnel there's a rock. Check under that rock for a diamond every few days. (Sometimes sapphires).
I know a lot about the game & I still didn't know half of these! Thank you for all of the really random fun info.
Man it never stopped being funny watching a horse Zoom past you as you're falling
"counting down the days until BotW2"
We are still squarely in the "months" category at this point
These videos are awesome 👌 🤗😲
Can I request if it's not much maybe have a video where it shows various attack techniques regardless if it's the common ones or new ones that players learned on their own or accidentally find out about it.
2:32 This is the sound effect from OoT if im not mistaken... Or at least one of the earlier zeldas sword sheathing noise. Very familiar.
Those guardians were just really devastated about those eggs splattering
At 3:30 I was under the impression you put an octorot balloon/gut thing on them, that’s what I’ve always done and never did anything different lol
Hey rin great video.Hope we see more advanced combat soon!
2:37, i foundout this by mistake when i did the divine beast rudania for the first time ( that was during 2019)
The only thing I knew was the 17th (detail I discovered while playing the game). I'm still impressed to see that there are still so many details that escaped me
I haven't watched many of these videos, so idk if you covered it... But for #9 I've always used an octo balloon. It will attach to the stone slabs and lift them into the air.
6:05 that tragic cutscene when link realized he left his sheikah slate at purahs
Thanks so much for making this.
I honestly wish they would dive more into Link’s family and more of Zelda’s besides just her father.
i actually didnt know a lot of these. good job gamespot, interesting vid
Hey neat thing I found with the master cycle it gives you a little boost first be at a complete stop then hold B then hold the left stick forward but the bike would not move its back wheel will then hold it down for as long as you like and boom you get a big boost!
All of these years and people still don't know about the secret attack buff you can give wolf link.
