Also upgrading your armor doesn't reorder your inventory anymore, all items stay exactly where they are. That was one of my major pet peeves with BotW.
One change I noticed is that if you run out of stamina in certain scenarios while doing one activity (say gliding) and then start doing something different (like swimming) it actually gives you a little bit of stamina where BotW would just let you run out and suffer the consequences.
What I really dislike is that they're all on the A button and you have to walk up to them to use their ability. Give me a button combination to activate their ability, like when talking while riding a horse.
Yes it's so annoying. I've blown so many things away that I was trying to pick up. They are never there when you need them and always in the way when you don't.
Remember the ledge with the lizalfos dancing by their durian harvest, close to the Faron tower? I went there before I found out hearty durians were extinct. I found gloom hands instead.
Shops now continually restock their arrows! In Botw they stopped restocking arrows if you had 50 or more on you, in TotK they will always restock if you leave they area for a little bit, even when you have hundreds of arrows already
Even just passing time at a campfire restocks! I tested it out at a stable with Beedle and oh man it made getting the necessary insects for armor upgrades soooooo much easier
Something I don’t think anyone else has noticed was how in botw, the weapons on your back would move and shake when you would run/ glide/ do anything. Now they just sit still on your back. I think it was done to improve over all game performance
14 - part of the reason why the Rito were not flying in BotW was because Vah Medoh would attack anything that flew too high. That made most Rito stay grounded fearing the divine beast’s wrath. 29 - I might be wrong, but don’t you need to do Hateno mayoral election quests to unlock this option?
Ik you're right and all but I feel like there was also that part of it that the devs didn't wanna work out the rito flying around, and animations and whatnot
2:09 It was removed to hide the fact that damage numbers on weapons are inaccurate. In order to make Fusion more balanced without having to give separate fusion attack numbers for each weapon type. Single-Handed weapons are 100% of the displayed number, Two-Handed weapons are 105% of the displayed number, and Spears are 75% of the displayed number.
Weird how they can’t just put the accurate number. Shocked spears are that low, their damage in BotW was already so terrible. They don’t seem as bad in this game though.
@@wet0wl Basically, since Fusion is a thing, and Fusion always adds a certain amount to the damage number, the devs didn't want spears to become OP, since they could no longer control the damage numbers they came with.
One thing no one has seemed to mention which i think is a great add. When you swing a sword in TOTK you now get a nice metallic 'shwing' noise, where as in BOTW you just get the 'whoosh'. It makes combat just a sliver more enjoyable for me
@@TheTriforceDragonon top of the temple of time? I was going nuts trying to use a wing for that but then it clicked in my head that there's like a million waterfalls around.
It's amazing how many helpful, little natural upgrades Tears of the Kingdom had featured in this list where you go, "Wait... that WASN'T in Breath of the Wild?"
6:04 It's strange that so many people run out of arrows because this game practically rains them down on you. I haven't been trying to conserve my arrows much and I'm up to almost 800 now.
It’s interesting because I’ve watched a few videos where people have said “I wish they had a place to fix weapons in TOTK, would have been a welcomed change” and “You can’t even wear the outfit from the box art in the game!” But if they just did more research or exploring they’d find it. That’s the issue when people try ti rush out reviews/impressions of a game as big as this one.
That was basically my son. He watched some RUclips, ran straight for the Master Sword, ran through the 4 temples and beat the game. When I showed him the rock octorok trick and Champion's Leathers trick and all the armor and weapons and upgrades I'd found in random caves or in the depths he was astounded. I finally completed the main quest myself this week and now I'm trying to finish all the caves!
Endura carrots arent by the great fairy fountains anymore. Instead you find them at the 8 cherry blossom trees. But Satori Mountain is still the best place to get them! There are 4 by the tree just like in botw (all the others only have 1) along with 4 by where the sheikah shrine used to be & 3 by the tree at the base of the mountain
The sun changing positions is a very nice detail and actually confirms that at least a few months transpired between games! Since Hyrule is pretty much located at whatever planet's tropics (since the Faron Province is referred to as "tropical"), the angle at which the sun's rays hit the planet would differ quite a bit depending on what season it is.
id say it was a few years and it takes places at a different point of the year they’re currently in. some characters definitely aged up a bit, and the building process for the towers, look out landing etc… must’ve taken them quite a bit of time, even if some sort of technology was used to assemble things.
It was definitely a few years. I know this, bc my friends who want to fuck Link did a lot of research and analysis to prove that he's legal and likely in his early 20's. (And because I dared one of them to and the group chat kinda ran with it but y'know. Details.)
Not to be contrary, but the sun is almost opposite the position it's in in BotW, which suggests a purely artistic choice rather than one based within lore. Furthermore, tropical climates experience less variation in the sun's relative position between seasons than those further from the equator (on Earth, can't speak for Hyrule's planet if it's even on one). -A
I figured the amount of time it took for the two games to come out in real life is how long the two games take place. Also gives Purah enough time to grow up and stuff.
What suprised me was how much moving the towers changed to change the landscape. I so turned around a couple of times because of those landmarks being gone.
If you run out of arrows just break crates whenever you see them and kill lynels for their multishot bows. I'm currently siting on over 800 arrows despite deciding it's gleeock hunting season.
Great list! Especially fond of the new Tarrey Town night theme, too. Another compelling change is the menu system has a lighter white trimmed aesthetic. BtoW’s was good, too, but it was all dark and muted, feeling stylish and refined. TotK’s in still images doesn't look as good, but in game, it makes much more sense visually. The dark on light icons is easier to interpret at a glance than light icons on dark backgrounds, etc.
The only thing I hate is the UI in the inventory. The icons aren't contrasted enough with the border, so it's remarkably hard to see the icons. Had to change my damn TV settings and tbh it didn't help much
Wait, how do you quick select ingredients for dishes you've already made? I swear I've looked for that button, but haven't seen it listed anywhere, and that's been one of my minor gripes since I often cook multiples of the same dish.
@@nicked_fenyx When you're on the materials menu go to one of the ingredients you want to use and hit A. A small menu will pop up and there will be an option that says "select for recipe". Click that and it will take you to a screen showing all the recipes associated with that ingredient. From there just pick the one you want to cook and you'll be holding all the ingredients for the dish.
I actually miss the text about your horse being unable to hear you, it ruins one of the best jokes I ever came up with in BotW. My friends were all coming up with funny names for their horses so, naturally, I had to as well. I settled on "The Gods", as, when I would whistle and my horse wasn't around it would read "It would seem The Gods cannot hear you." It was made all the better when the ancient horse armor was added and my horse would manifest before me. The Gods, finally began answering my prayers.
The text was gone cause you can also now use whistle button to call over sage spirits if they are too far and you need their abilities. They will even answer to your whistling while engaged in combat.
@@freakishtech2310 They never come when I whistle ;-; I find it easier to just climb onto a wall to recall them all and then hop off and they spawn next to me.
Yeah the sun having changed positions really makes a striking difference to the overall experience - Hyrule looks very different because of this relatively simple change, barely recognisable at times, coupled with all the other new additions. It's really neat.
You missed my favorite subtle change - when you upgrade armor at a fairy fountain it no longer moves the newly upgraded armor to the bottom. Rather it stays put where it belongs!
5:51 - The detail here is that all the water you sent up with the impact rains down around you. I noticed it the very first time you dive, and I can't think of ANY other game that I've seen it done in. It's a very simple effect, too!
2:02 they removed the ability to see health bars because they actually lie to you about how much damage certain weapon types do! Spears actually do about 25% less damage than they say and two handed weapons do about 5% more than they say! This is because they thought nobody would use spears (despite their fast attack speed and range) if the damage number looked too low, and they thought too many people would use two handed weapons for similar reasoning. If you could see how much damage things do with the champion’s tunic, you would know that they’re lying!
They changed weapon damage values. Spears do less than they’re marked as doing, and two handers are undermarked. That’s probably why there’s no way to see exact damage numbers.
The sun thing is interesting. In BotW Hyrule was located on _Southern hemisphere_ - the sun was in zenith to the North. I guess they changed that so that it's more intuitive to majority of the players.
I think they changed it to give more of a fresh feel to the Hyrule we already know. I spent the first couple of hours on the ground not understanding where things were. Kakariko felt wrong with shadows comming from the other side, but now I got used to it.
Most of conversations in this game start w. The NPC talking to themselves or someone else only to go "oh I didn't notice you!" N then give the dialogue i noticed lol
The whistle isn't only to call the horse now maybe that's why, it's also call the sage, I know it from the tooltip. Let's added what I know or remember. -The meteorite drops more and I mean more often, even 2 on a single night. -Link now imitate enemies animation when wearing their hat and even imitate the sound, that's neat. -You can't spam sneak attack now, in BoTW you can do that by walking to their back when they get up.
The hood thing was such a nice surprise when I finished that quest and then happened to be wearing my hylian hood when I talked to Cece. It’s also the only way to have Link with his hair pulled back in the ponytail ring without sacrificing a head armor.
Buy one, have her put it down. Buy a second and keep it up. That way you can have a hood in whatever state you want, whenever you want, without having to cross a continent to have a lady adjust it for you. Also, if you talk to her about it with more than one hood, she changes every hood in your inventory at once to the same state, up or down.
I spent like 3 minutes diving and re-diving in the starting section because I was like “That’s a new sound”. I just plugged on my AirPods and listened.
All those Zora colours were present in BotW. There are new ones, like deep red and yellow, but BotW was still colourful. There are also new Goron colours. Barin and Tule are two brands of ashy. (Seriously, the Goron population seems to have doubled somehow.) Granté has changed his name to Grantéson and scrapped his Sheikah clothing to get a job with Hudson. Cado's donkey has a white topknot with chopsticks under its Sheikah umbrella.
Does the Unbearably Hot/Cold message pop up when you're in Pro HUD mode? Cus that would be REALLY helpful! One thing I always struggled with the Pro HUD is knowing when I've ventured into a hot or cold area BEFORE I actually take damage! It's specially important in this game as I often walk around w a quarter health left in order to take advantage of the Knight weapons double damage buff.
Haha very slick. In BotW we did indeed build Tarry Town "from the ground up" I caught ya (for those that dont know, that was the name of the quest to build Tarry Town)
My theory on some of the changes is that they are seasonal. The sun being in a different place in the sky and different fruit and vegetables growing makes a lot of sense when you consider that this game is probably taking place at a different time of year in Hyrule.
In breath of the wild the champions tunic is just a shirt but when Zelda makes the champions leathers she puts chainmail armor under it to protect link more
Also when you shoot mid air and the game slows down, in Botw it takes stamina based by how long you are holding ZR, no matter if you shoot or not you still lose stamina, in Totk its measured per arrow, so if you end up not shooting you atleast don’t lose your stamina
Speaking of NPC's being more aware of their surroundings, I think more NPC's react to Link being unclothed too. Some NPC's in BotW reacted as well, but it seemed like very few did. In TotK, it's still the case that not all NPC's react to it, but it seems to me like a lot more do.
4:08 The sun changed in TotK because it was wrong in BotW. In the northern hemisphere, the sun rises in the east, is due south at noon, and sets in the west. In BotW, the sun was in the north at noon. Now it's right.
The reason the health doesn't show is because they changed the weapons to deal damage different from displayed. Spears are weaker and claymores are stronger. This is to help with fuse scaling.
The Pro HUD in ToTK is divine. Only the utter most important info in specific scenarios, like taking damage. Never understood why the triforce symbol was hard baked in BoTW.
@@kenji6492 Yes, I know. What I mean is, starting the game and seeing the save file would already tell you that, so why a constant 24/7 reminder of it. Wasn't a big deal, but it sure distracted me from time to time.
Don't buy arrows from Beddle they're more expensive than the regular shops in the villages. I think the other travelling merchants are cheaper as well but I'm not 100% sure
Im 120 hours in TotK. At 140 shrines already have to get to last boss in game and yet i havent been to Tarrey Town. And have yo make almost every side quest at hateno.
The Temple of Time doesn't have its signature tune like it did in BOTW. Enemies don't seem to avoid Time Bombs like they would with the Bomb Runes. Robbie is short and the game doesn't explain why (or does it?)
@Break Glass For Memes lol, I thought he was taller in BOTW and had to look it up, but I think now, it was because I played Age of Calamity where he is tall
Time Bombs aren’t like the Bomb Runes. They explode upon impact, not when the user chooses to detonate, which you cannot do. The Temple of Time is now the Temple of Time Ruins, as the one in the sky is much more important to this game’s story.
You know why they removed the HP bar from champion tunic? It would reveal the fact that weapon number you see is a lie. Spears for example do 25% less damage than what the number implies. For example, my silver lynel horn fused with the lightscale trident in rain has 154 damage number. In actuality, it does 116 damage. Two handed weapons do more damage than shown and i believe one handed weapon do less. There is an excel sheet available for calculating true damage in totk.
I noticed too that when tou make food for say attack are defense and the like in BOTW you get a sound effect letting you know that it ran out but in TOTK the sound effect is gone
The health thing was changed to other items. It’s very easy to find Hearty lizards for example, cook a few with a single monster part and get an elixir that restores all health plus extra hearts. I have two I’ve saved for hours playing this that give me 14 extra hearts and I don’t think that’s the highest. I thought my friend was telling me about one he made that was +21 extra hearts? But that’s not something I can verify yet. On top of sleeping giving full health and extra hearts? Hearty radishes and other plants or mushroom or animal combos that at least give extra hearts, most of which restore all hearts as well like sleeping and being able to cook anywhere at any point with a cooking pot zonite…yeah, they made it way easier to be an absolute tank with healing items.
I’m still trying to decide between the two. I want to do a lot of mindless exploring and the thought of having to craft machines and transportation in totk is scaring me off it lol
TBH, in TOTK, you can largely ignore the build mechanic while exploring if you choose to. Basically tools are given to you, but none are forced upon you... just like in BOTW ^^.
Totk is better in just about every way. I love botw and it was one of my favorite games of all time but Totk is kind of just a better game and if I were starting right now I don’t know if I’d recommend playing botw first. Also highly recommend using the pro hud in Totk.
You can largely ignore building if really want to, although it's super fun and really not that complicated to make something that works. To anyone starting right now I would definitely recommend just jumping straight into totk, botw was great but totk improves on it in nearly every way
yo guys, add this one to there list, when using an elemental weapon (fire or ice) it affects your weather resistance accordingly, which i thought it was fck awesome
Also upgrading your armor doesn't reorder your inventory anymore, all items stay exactly where they are. That was one of my major pet peeves with BotW.
Agreed. So happy they changed that.
@@Kondase It took me some time to break the habit of double tapping Y
@@ILikeWafflzI still do it. It's ingrained at this point.

I do wish the “pick up” button was different than the sage’s action command. Tulin blew a dragon’s claw off a cliff when I wanted to pick it up.

Also, if you talk to her about it with more than one hood, she changes every hood in your inventory at once to the same state, up or down.
@@shartsmcginty8056 Oh, I should have done that. I bought the second hood and then asked for the change.
I noticed like, 80% of these, but I wasn’t sure if they were things I had just forgotten botw had.
Felix over here looking like a young Anton Ego 😂😂
Hearty Foods kinda got nerfed because gloomed enemies immediately remove all of your temp hearts
It’s the full recovery, not the bonus hearts that we want.
I spent like 3 minutes diving and re-diving in the starting section because I was like “That’s a new sound”. I just plugged on my AirPods and listened.
All those Zora colours were present in BotW. There are new ones, like deep red and yellow, but BotW was still colourful.
There are also new Goron colours. Barin and Tule are two brands of ashy. (Seriously, the Goron population seems to have doubled somehow.)
Granté has changed his name to Grantéson and scrapped his Sheikah clothing to get a job with Hudson.
Cado's donkey has a white topknot with chopsticks under its Sheikah umbrella.
I gave one of the sand seals an orb from the heroines quest, and it clapped then started playing with the ball
Does the Unbearably Hot/Cold message pop up when you're in Pro HUD mode? Cus that would be REALLY helpful! One thing I always struggled with the Pro HUD is knowing when I've ventured into a hot or cold area BEFORE I actually take damage!
It's specially important in this game as I often walk around w a quarter health left in order to take advantage of the Knight weapons double damage buff.
Haha very slick. In BotW we did indeed build Tarry Town "from the ground up" I caught ya (for those that dont know, that was the name of the quest to build Tarry Town)
My theory on some of the changes is that they are seasonal.
The sun being in a different place in the sky and different fruit and vegetables growing makes a lot of sense when you consider that this game is probably taking place at a different time of year in Hyrule.
Actually in botw there's an orange Zora, but it's a child, she had the quest where you had to bring a letter to someone at the end of the river
I miss actual sledgehammers
Me too
Rupees grabbing with A is also a thing in BOTW. It was the first thing that felt weird for me when I played it for the first time.
Regarding the whistle, they removed the cant hear your call message because of the sages who will regroup near you when you whistle
I’m going to need a list of ALL the changes from BotW. DO IT COWARDS!
I'm upset you have to press A for the rupees now 😥
In breath of the wild the champions tunic is just a shirt but when Zelda makes the champions leathers she puts chainmail armor under it to protect link more
this game has been amazing. I heard the paraglider in the rain sound when listening with my headphones. It sounds good.
I was audibly excited when I saw the rito actually flying
Also when you shoot mid air and the game slows down, in Botw it takes stamina based by how long you are holding ZR, no matter if you shoot or not you still lose stamina, in Totk its measured per arrow, so if you end up not shooting you atleast don’t lose your stamina
beautiful editing and lovely video again! haha
Speaking of NPC's being more aware of their surroundings, I think more NPC's react to Link being unclothed too. Some NPC's in BotW reacted as well, but it seemed like very few did. In TotK, it's still the case that not all NPC's react to it, but it seems to me like a lot more do.
4:08 The sun changed in TotK because it was wrong in BotW. In the northern hemisphere, the sun rises in the east, is due south at noon, and sets in the west. In BotW, the sun was in the north at noon. Now it's right.
The reason the health doesn't show is because they changed the weapons to deal damage different from displayed. Spears are weaker and claymores are stronger. This is to help with fuse scaling.
The lag when you free the great fairies is gone.
I'd love the option of being able to sort by value when selling to vendors
I went looking for hearty durians when i was about to go fight the final boss and i thought i was going insane when i couldn't find them
4:02 The guide dude will also say "Is that... Zeldas?" If you have zeldas horse
Thanks for the additional sound effects when you splash into the water!!!! 😅 I hated that mini game so bad 😂
The Pro HUD in ToTK is divine. Only the utter most important info in specific scenarios, like taking damage. Never understood why the triforce symbol was hard baked in BoTW.
It was hard baked because it was to denote you were in Master Mode - it doesn't exist in the base difficulty.
@@kenji6492 Yes, I know. What I mean is, starting the game and seeing the save file would already tell you that, so why a constant 24/7 reminder of it. Wasn't a big deal, but it sure distracted me from time to time.
8:30 the way you pronounced cece is criminal! its see see
Sussy
Being able to pick up rupees with A is NOT a small nor subtle difference. It's incredible!
Think Link got the land "outside" of Tarrey town because Link doesn't have "-son" in his name? 🤔
...Octorok's don't shoot accross the field when you hit them anymore. Chests have less bounce ( >:) ) when you pull them from the ground
The chests also don't clip through the ground if you open them upside down.
Beedles prices for arrows is higher than the different shops in towns
Don't buy arrows from Beddle they're more expensive than the regular shops in the villages. I think the other travelling merchants are cheaper as well but I'm not 100% sure
Beedle is cute but he's a crook
@@Ebola-Jones I mean, he does plot to send assassins/robbers after you if you don't trade him that beetle.
2:10 it's removed cuz spears do 25% less damage than shown and 2 handed weapons do 5% more than shown
Im 120 hours in TotK. At 140 shrines already have to get to last boss in game and yet i havent been to Tarrey Town. And have yo make almost every side quest at hateno.
You can put your hood down?!? That totally made watching this worth it.
5:11 Pink was always in BOTW, Gaddison was always there.
You can move from side-to-side when swimming up waterfalls?!?!
When swimming up waterfalls, can you cancel and start paragliding halfway up the waterfall?
5:08 - The Pink Zora color isn't new, Gaddison was in BotW.
gaddison isn’t pink though
Was actually wondering how the heck did you lowered your hylian hoodie good thing you mentioned since it seemed cooler too! Ty!
The Temple of Time doesn't have its signature tune like it did in BOTW.
Enemies don't seem to avoid Time Bombs like they would with the Bomb Runes.
Robbie is short and the game doesn't explain why (or does it?)
He was short in BOTW too. He's short for the same reason Impa is short. Because he's old.
@Break Glass For Memes lol, I thought he was taller in BOTW and had to look it up, but I think now, it was because I played Age of Calamity where he is tall
Time Bombs aren’t like the Bomb Runes. They explode upon impact, not when the user chooses to detonate, which you cannot do.
The Temple of Time is now the Temple of Time Ruins, as the one in the sky is much more important to this game’s story.
The sun position in both was north. As it would be in the southern hemisphere. Totk its south like we experience in the northern hem.
31: there's no Master Mode, because you don't need it, you're going to die a lot in regular mode
You know why they removed the HP bar from champion tunic? It would reveal the fact that weapon number you see is a lie. Spears for example do 25% less damage than what the number implies. For example, my silver lynel horn fused with the lightscale trident in rain has 154 damage number. In actuality, it does 116 damage. Two handed weapons do more damage than shown and i believe one handed weapon do less. There is an excel sheet available for calculating true damage in totk.
I noticed too that when tou make food for say attack are defense and the like in BOTW you get a sound effect letting you know that it ran out but in TOTK the sound effect is gone
The only thing you missed were the bridge apples changing in kakariko village
They should really get rid of the horse spurs on the HUD while trotting. It just doesn’t need to be there for any reason.
You missed TOTK max of 40 heart containers while BOTW only max out at 30.
You had to press A to pick up items in BOTW so that’s not a change. Still the same.
Dude you wore the zora armor while swimming up the waterfall you could do that in botw
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
didnt even remember the stone heads from goron village :D
Please be honest. The Insertion Number was due to a problem in the audiofile and Felix couldn't rerecord for some reason? Come on tell me!
The health thing was changed to other items. It’s very easy to find Hearty lizards for example, cook a few with a single monster part and get an elixir that restores all health plus extra hearts. I have two I’ve saved for hours playing this that give me 14 extra hearts and I don’t think that’s the highest. I thought my friend was telling me about one he made that was +21 extra hearts? But that’s not something I can verify yet.
On top of sleeping giving full health and extra hearts? Hearty radishes and other plants or mushroom or animal combos that at least give extra hearts, most of which restore all hearts as well like sleeping and being able to cook anywhere at any point with a cooking pot zonite…yeah, they made it way easier to be an absolute tank with healing items.
The missing hearty durians is subtle? Huh? 😂
I’m still trying to decide between the two. I want to do a lot of mindless exploring and the thought of having to craft machines and transportation in totk is scaring me off it lol
TBH, in TOTK, you can largely ignore the build mechanic while exploring if you choose to. Basically tools are given to you, but none are forced upon you... just like in BOTW ^^.
Totk is better in just about every way. I love botw and it was one of my favorite games of all time but Totk is kind of just a better game and if I were starting right now I don’t know if I’d recommend playing botw first.
Also highly recommend using the pro hud in Totk.
You can largely ignore building if really want to, although it's super fun and really not that complicated to make something that works. To anyone starting right now I would definitely recommend just jumping straight into totk, botw was great but totk improves on it in nearly every way
The hovercraft bike is the only one you need.
yo guys, add this one to there list, when using an elemental weapon (fire or ice) it affects your weather resistance accordingly, which i thought it was fck awesome
That was in BotW
