In this video, Did You Know Gaming takes a look at some facts, secrets and Easter eggs from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Breath of the Wild was made for the Nintendo Switch and Wii U by Nintendo. The game's open world was inspired by the failures of Skyward Sword, and BotW development also led to the production of The Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD. The game follows Link, who along with Zelda tries to combat the evil Calamity Ganon.

The concept art of link in the track suit looks like something you'd see on deviant art
brickman409 with a carton of cigarettes and cheap vodka.
Link, The Hero of Time, as he confronts Ganon: "Cyka Blyat"
*Deeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwddddddddddd*
It was gross lol
Or on one of those old Mad magazines. I shudder to think what the artist does now.
8:09
*"Aonuma felt that focusing on a single screen made for a smoother overall experince."*
An epiphany Star Fox Zero desperately needed.
I love how the music in this game is so minimalistic in the overworld places. The music feels almost unfinished and broken, which symbolises the downfall and run down condition of Hyrule after Calamity Ganon took over, which is an insanely smart move.
Nathan you're looking too much into it
HandyWyo no I'm not, that's exactly the reason why they made the music in the style it's in
source?
null things like this are made for the players to pick up on. Put it this way, the reason the ambience music feels like it is broken into pieces is not because the composers were lazy. I'm not inferring that there is no other reason, but that's the reason I believe the music is why it is. There's a deeper meaning to everything, further exploration into things can help find the meaning
I hated the lack of music and old tunes it made the game boring for me. The side quest were also disappointing. Game looked pretty though
Breath of the Wild is such an amazing game. I am extremely hyped for what the Zelda team makes next.
Stephen Weir I have never agreed with a comment more :)
I'm excited too. This was a great introduction into the new formula imo. Given the groundwork they began with, the next game easily can be bigger and better. The fact too that Aonuma has stated he already got tons of ideas for the next installment gets me excited as well
Scar It doesn't get a lot of hate as you might think. It's got a high user rating on Metacritic and I constantly see people praise it on numerous social media sites. There's also the fact that it's got a ton of game awards. Far from hated. It may look like though because the people who didn't like it are vocal about it (which I get). But I think there are more people who are positive towards it than negative.
If you dont already you'll be happy to know theres a sequel in the works
@@adisajwan6049 And a story prequel too!
The one where Link's arm replaced with Sheikah tech actually sounds quite interesting.
a purple dragon like Venom snake
a purple dragon
Making the connections between it and MGSV even more pronounced.
I was reminded of Fullmetal Alchemist.
So, DMC 5 Nero
Zelda May Cry featuring Link from the Zelda Series.
I instantly felt a bit sad when they talked about Iwata. I find it amazing that they referenced him in such a good way!
R.i.p Satoru Iwata
I didn't even realize it until they pointed it out. The fact that its where the souls of animals rest after they die is almost heartbreakingly perfect.
And now I feel worse for shooting at it:(
@@GuardianTam same
And the end!! "I miss him man" almost made me cry :(
May he rest in peace we all miss you
Glad to hear about all the work put into the game
Never expected to see a "All your base are belong to us" joke in a Zelda game lmao
I love how in game development, minor aspects can originated from completely random events, like that bokoblin horn.
I would love to see more of Hyrule Wars, it looks awesome from the alpha footage and the concept sounds cool.
Hyrule Warriors with Breath of the Wild's physics and interactive world.
Honestly both concepts sounded awesome and I seriously hope they revisit them in another open world game.
Eric Estrada As a concept in 'beta' footage, yes.
Eric Estrada it was still getting developed
Nintendo never shows their betas for games after the final game comes out. I'd pay good money to play Zelda 64.
Breath of the Wild 2:
Link's arm is replaced with Sheikah tech and Epona's legs have been replaced with wheels, so we can use the bike right away.
And it’s a Battle Royale game and all the music in the background is Despacito.
The legend of Zelda breath of the memes
BOTW2 DLC: Literally just play as Johnny Joestar
Official Soundtrack features Despacito 2
NeoStrike despacidos or dospacito?
THE STONE OCTOROK CAN DO WHAT?!!?
I KNOW SAME
it's really interesting that if you look at the development for botw they have still taken these ideas to totk. like link losing an arm and having it replaced with shiekah technology
That Zelda alien shit sounded awesome. Too bad we didn’t get it
We got it in Majora's Mask lol
Maybe we might get some DLC with it?
majoras mask wasnt alien shit it was the moon that would crush all residents of that city i forgot the name
GeorgeTheArea51Guy do you not remember the side quest at the Stables where you fight off aliens so they don’t abduct the girl and the cows?
Also it’s named Clock Town, not the best name but hey it fits well enough.
Watching this video makes me appreciate all over again the time, effort and passion that went into botw’s development. Those delays were well worth it! I wish more AAA devs would approach games this way.
6:16 that’s what Claydol is based on too, right?
Professor Spaghetti the Lunatic exactly! That's what I was trying to say lol
“Link whose arm was replaced by Sheikah technology”
Well, hello Breath of the Wild 2!
The part where Furst got quieter while talking about The Lord of the Mountain was heart-wrenching! You can tell he was trying to keep it together. I mean sure, most of us have never met Iwata. But he gave the Nintendo community so many great games and franchises to fall in love with. And that my friends is eternal. You can't kill the history he made!
4:00
Daaamn! Big thanks to Bill for choosing the awesome art style
I love how they tribute Satoru Iwata
"People love eating crabs!"
i really hope there'll be another dark zelda (like twilight princess) in the future... i loved the atmosphere in that game.
this
Not necessarily that there was a dark atmosphere but the game gave you very serious moments and visuals; that is what made me like it.
Nepheos Ragna Majora's Mask?
Nepheos Ragna Breath of the wild is a pretty dark game if you think about it.
FuzzzWuzzz That's what am saying.
We knew the seeds were literally Shit when "The Completionist" got all of them...poor bastard lol
I actually love the sound of Legend of zelda: The Phantom Pain
swift wrong title legend of mario the gears of pain
@@applejambers7674 You mean Legend of Link?
ORO 0147 ahhhh I got it all wrong it’s the legend of link gears of duty :Evolved pain
JTIZZLEHOEY you forgot the suffix the minish warfare
Link chillin at a campfire waiting for morning like "Wah haaaaaaaaaa~"
I'd love if they released a finished version of the nes breath of the wild tech demo on the switch
Would have been awesome to unlock it as an Easter egg in the game
I really love that they made a 2d demo before rendering everything into a 3d game. Proves how focused the team was kn fundamentals and functionality rather than superficialism. I would love to see that demo one day.
I've gone back and forth on whether this is my favorite Zelda game, but I will say that no game has ever made me feel the way this one did after playing it for the first time. I can't even really describe it. I literally couldn't put it down for about a week. 9 days after release I had logged 65 hours and beat ganon.
I did know gaming
But then I took an arrow in the knee
I hope there will be Breath of the Wild 2 with New Funky Mode and Knuckles. That would be game of the year in an instant.
Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series
With a all star Battle Royale
Don’t forget the Royale mode.
with $19.99 DLC
In 3D
I’ll say this game is a great start for anyone who wants a Switch.
I want one, but I'm too poor. Please help.
Nabinani Neptuner the switch has no games.
flashclynes you gotta be joking
flashclynes Nice bait.
Well I got bait...
"A giant octopus enemy would be kinda gross "
Nintendo knows about hentai CONFIRMED
After getting through the first few shrines, I kinda figured the shrine names were actually people's names. Some of them seemed a little too familiar to be a fantasy language.
Breath of the Wild is the first 3D Zelda that I genuinely have come to love for how much it harks back to the feel of the original NES game which is my all-time favorite in the series.... I only wish they hadn't completely skimped on standard dungeons in lieu of all those damn puzzle shrines. Hyrule Castle was practically the only dungeon so to speak and I loved it's branching non-linear design with multiple points of entry. It just needed 1 to 3 more of those and I would consider it a perfect game. Those literal "hedge maze" structures at certain points in the world were a poor substitution.
Alan Rizkallah as a masive dungon fan id rather have 6 to 8
Alan Rizkallah I take it you’ve only played two Zelda games.
This doesn't really sound right
Well Alan is right that BOTW is the closest Zelda game to the first Zelda on NES. In fact there only 2.5 Open World Zelda games. The original Zelda & BOTW. Wind Waker is the .5 cause it’s pretty close to an open world game or more of an open Ocean game 😉
My only issue with BotW is that I wish the main storyline would have encompassed more of the map.
Points for using rito village in background
woomy on a vroomy I like yor name.
And not game's main theme for once.
8:52 "So that players knew when they found something NOTE worthy"
...
I see what you did there...
Nintendo: "Any more idea's for cooking recipes and ingredients?"
Treehouse staff: "T I M E F O R C R A B"
Dude! I wanna fight the Majora's Mask Aliens kidnapping cattle! Would have been a fun DLC pack.
King Kamina Yeah! I mean it sounds more like a mini game than a full thing but it seems that people forget that aliens and UFOs have already appeared in the series.
c-can we please get a Zelda game with Link's Sheikah-cyborg arm?

The Legend Of Zelda: The Phantom Pain
The first time I laid eyes on this game was when I was sitting at the local mall charging my cellphone because hurricane Maria had come through so the power was out. I was playing some stick figure game on my phone until this guy sits next to me with what looked like an iPad but then I see him playing this game and asked "Zelda on an ipad?" And that's when he explained what it was. He went as far as to let me play it for a little bit and I couldn't believe my eyes how nice this thing looked! I'm an Xbox player so the last Nintendo console I played is GameCube but this game looks so damned neat I'll have to get a Switch just to play this!
One of the greats!
The artwork makes me want a Zelda with an older, battled hardened, badass Link.
Terrance Harden eww no. That will never happen. Not link like at all.
Lmao jk XD. Something link like is something completely different. If that would were to happen then there will be a twist. And link is already badass.
Terrance Harden Who is also female 🤔
Cristian Martinez according to this, it was at least an idea at one point. There's still a little hope lol
Terrance Harden But that's exactly what we got. Link was a warrior, and Zelda's personal knight and protector. The cutscenes show him taking down hoardes of strong enemies. And when he awakens in the Shrine of Resurrection he is essentially 116 years old.
Older? Check
Battle-hardened? Check
Badass? Check
As much as I appreciate the massive changes this game made (and the series really needed it), I really hope there's another game on the Switch that goes back to natural, diverse looking dungeons and strong overworld music. Only having 4 dungeons, as well as them looking the same, was really a let down later in the game. Also important would be a humanoid antagonist with a personality and a really strong reason to dislike. Over all though this game was excellent and needed. Combat was harder and deeper, the world was genuinely interesting, excellent boss fights, great aesthetic, art-style, and music (when there was any.)
jgallag90 I’m sure they will.
jgallag90 there are loads of tracks in botw that you miss because they only play once like in boss fights where you arent really paying attention all i remember is the town themes which were all pretyy good i loved gerudo towns theme
Yup, there's a plethora of great music in this game you just need to browse through the soundtrack to hear that. It's just that the music is more complex and less whistle or humming friendly than much of the earlier iconic Zelda music.
There are also many great tracks that are only played once you are in the divine beasts or when you attack them, certain tracks that are unique to cut-scenes and or characters and lastly music that is unique to specific locations.
There was way more than 4 dungeons though if you look at all the shrines. I'm not saying each shrine would count as one dungeon but you could easily get 5 huge dungeons worth out of the shrines and honestly that's lowballing it.
I feel like a new addition to the series should have both the distinctive dungeons of the original (in place of the Divine Beast dungeons), as well as the shrines from BOTW.
Sheikah cyborg Link?
C... Can we have that? Please?
Like, pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty *_PRETTY_* please?
Robert Poole there's a fic series on AO3 called Ironic Technology by BritishSarcasm. Really goes the extra mile with it too.
So much love for this game
2 Likes in 2 Years! LET'S GO!
No mention of the possible Robin Williams reference(s)?
Also, I hope they further develop the 2D prototype into a full, original Zelda game. The functionality of BotW in the original art style? Yes please!
Zelda Switch should build upon Botw. Keep the open world, but add additional mechanics, like underwater exploration. I would also love if they could go back to the realistic art style of Twilight Princess.
FuzzzWuzzz The other Zelda games are so cartoony though... remember the Wii U Zelda tech demo? That was fucking BEAUTIFUL; we need THAT.
FuzzzWuzzz That has everything to do with console limitations. With a fully HD console, there is absolutely no reason why the realistic artstyle wouldn't look as good as Skyrim did.
legend of zelda breath of the wild pocket edition
@@nahor88 Zelda is supposed to be cartoony. TP tried a more realistic art style, but the characters are still cartoony looking, it's pretty weird.
Breath of the wild is a masterpiece.Too bad most big game developers dont want to take the time and the effort to make more games like this one.
It's difficult for most developers to make a great game on this scale, it takes a lot of work and resources that many developers/publishers wouldn't want to risk, if they could even afford to try.
Nintendo fanboys be like
Nintendo put a lot of risk into this game. They knew because it’s Zelda it’s get more attention than other open world games, but they needed lots of time put into the game so people would buy it.
Other companies don’t have big names like Zelda, so putting lots of time in a game to get mediocre sales would be bad.
Well, there a lot of other big open world games series out there that are also very popular. Nintendo wanted this to help the Wii U, then decided to use it to give the Switch a system seller from day 1, so they obviously wanted it to be a must-have game.
Lonios business is a highly calculated risk, most of the time it just doesn't make sense to spend so many years on a single game.
I liked Skyward Sword's narrative driven gameplay.
Me too. It's one of my top 3 favorite Zelda games.
Breath of the Wild however landed on the 2nd to last spot, because it just misses so much of the Zelda formular - especially in terms of the Dungeons.
X X I liked the narrative, but it came at the expense of the player. While BotW is the complete opposite...though it had to ditch much of a narrative in order to do so.
So I hope that there’s a Zelda game in the future that finds the right balance between narrative and non-linear gameplay.
Me too. Its my favorite video game to date. Such a compelling and beautiful story.
BoTW breaks from the formula because that's what it was supposed to do. It wanted to go back to the series' open world roots, and then really, *REALLY* expanded on that. It's good because it shatters the formula.
I wanted to like Skyward Sword, but the constant need to re-calibrate of the motion plus really soured it for me. That's the one imo that can most benefit from an HD remake... leaving the waggle controls behind.
0:16
narrator: fans suspected hestu's gift was a poop joke but its much *deeper* than that.
Developers: the korok seeds are poop too LOL.
I hope they make the Zelda invasion thingy a real thing
Especially because aliens were a thing in majora's mask.
I loved playing this game on the Wii U and I still play it!
Also, the Fairy Fountain theme was sooooooooo beautiful...
9:57 I like to think that was done as a contingency plan for if and when someone tries to duplicate the master sword
First off. I knew it was Korok poop the entire time 💩 Second off. I thought it was so funny that it made me collect all 900 poops so that I could get that glorious golden turd 💩
"The joke is deeper than fans thought", it's a poop joke. How deep can it get?
Ben Link
900 poops deep.
True, wish I wasn't dead inside from collecting all of them
For real ;__;
Golden poop is considered good luck in Japan. That's why
Did you know? This game Re-invented the wheel on the series. Something that a certain series with with a blue hedgehog desperately needs!!
They tried that. Everyone hated the beat-em-up stages.
Or the Final Fantasy furry stories.
Sonic doesn't need a reboot. IT needs Sega to stop trying to change the gameplay all the damn time. If they had built apon Generations and refined it, we'd have an amazing game. Instead we got Lost World and Boom, followed by Mania, where Sega revealed that they forgot how they made Generations.
Detective Joshua they've already reinvented they new GOOD ideas.
Detective Joshua Sonic doesn't need re-invention, it just needs to have good games.
10:57 Home yo key eye. Nailed it.
Looking deeper into the Iwata tribute, "Satori Mountain" also refers toward the Satori yokai in japanese folklore which are found in the mountains and are often depicted with extra eyes since they are enlightened and are able to read (satoru) people's minds. If they are attacked, they are known to run away in fear. Usually, Satori are depicted as hominoid, but they probably combined its appearance with that of a Kirin, which a majestic horse-like creature with a flowing mane and deer like horns, known to be rare, powerful and holy.
I'm surprised you guys didn't mention, the monk poses at the end of each shrine apparently mimic the prayer gestures made by the sages in Ocarina of Time
I'd honestly be interested in an older, more grizzled Link, maybe one that failed in his quest, mixing the dark future of Ocarina of Time with the Spirit of the Hero of Time, who died before passing on his techniques to a new generation
What a fascinating development cycle. This game truly is a work of art. Never thought a DYKG video would come close to making me shed actual tears.
It’s been three years and thinking about Iwata still hurts like hell. I’m glad the people who worked with him continue to pay little tributes to him like this.
Bobofett 72 Same. Every time I watch anything about him, it reminds me that he’s gone, and it just makes it hurt that much more.
Did you know? Smash Ultimate Link's Dark Blue Hero Tunic color swap references The Royal Guard's Armor. It even has a black shield that looks like the Knight's Shield
You know you have a vintage Nintendo masterpiece when so much love and so much care and detail goes into the game.
I love those wonderful geniuses from Japan.
I would love a sequel to this game with Link venturing into another world. They can include a cloud area, a cave area and an underwater area. They can put in the Minish again, which would be great. I’d also love to see Tectites, Leevers, Peahats, Dekus and Tails.
Probably the best game of this generation and one of the best of all time.
I play since the C64 days, so I have my background as a Gamer... What a Game!
@Merchantrouge84 smb2 sux
Cremudgen Guy you dont get the joke its a dunky reference
I know there is a lot of talk over whether this game is better than Ocarina of Time. Honestly, this game is so different from previous games that trying to compare these games is like comparing Pokémon to CoD.
Or better yet, let’s combine the two. BotW world with OoT dungeons and music.
Broshi, don't forget some of the other things, like guardians, the combat system, climbing, gliding, etc.
Dragonborn Express
Well obviously
Oh my god they referenced all your base are belong to us. I love the Zelda team.
I hope this is sarcastic.
Mu'izz Siddique it's not, watch the whole video.
No, I was hoping *you* were sarcastic. Whatever, man.
Mu'izz Siddique I get what you meant, but have you seen the last 3 minutes of the video?
Yes, I watched the whole video. Why?
Yup. Still get teary-eyed whenever Iwata is brought up in trivia for these videos. I love the little references of him sprinkled throughout some of the modern games, BotW included.
although the exploration in Breath of the Wild was amazing, I want the next game to focus on Interactions and Story.
I want there to be more classic enemies ths t we never saw in Zelda, Like Tektites, Stalfos, and Deku Babas.
I want to help the land with their problems, and explore a world that is not taken over by an evil force, but still is targeted by a threat.
Take the Amazing new additions of breath of the Wild, tone done the exploration, and add in the quirkiness of previous titles and I'll be happy.
Regardless of everything I've said, I will be excited for whatever they decide to so for the next game. if it is still mostly exploration, I'll be fine.
Honestly tektites would have been perfect for certain areas, particularly ones that had pools of water, etc.
Also there were no skulltulas! Like whaaaa-?!
I agree with everything else you said too, although I like how much exploration there was ^^
tbh they should just add more dungeons, a non desolate places to explore. a Skyrim like Zelda would be good.
and less fucking mountains. no matter where I was, I had to climb the side of a mountain
There's working hard on a game, and then there is pushing the very limits of the human brain. Seriously, it physically hurt me to try think about that whole "blocking landmarks with hills" thing
F for Iwata
Holy shit, that formula for the landmarks being hidden is pure genius.
"If a rock octorock eats a rusty sword, it will spit out a newly shined sword"
HOW COME NO ONE HAS TOLD ME THIS?!!! THIS COULD'VE BEEN SO HELPFUL TO ME WHAT THE HELL
5:02 The Legend of the Boss. Starring - Link Snake.
A Miyamoto game.
"I miss him man" - The feels.
11:42 Satori is also japanese Youkai (monster) that can read minds and are said to live within the mountains of Hida and Mino (Gifu Prefecture).
Given how they are said to live in mountains, and the area being a mountain, it could also reference those.
10:33 I had learned about the process years ago and so I understood what happened to them
I want to play that robot arm link now.
I hope for sequel on the same engine, the same way they did Majora after Ocarina. Similar, but very different.
Piotr Byrtek same here
Got your wish
Weeeell
The image shown at 12:30 was created in collaboration between the users of the Zeltik Discord chat, myself creating the final version by adding the final letter Q shortly after it was discovered. Credit goes to that Discord chat.
While the alphabet was completed two months before the game was released, contrary to what the video says, the incomplete alphabet was being used to translate text ever since the E3 before the release.
Wow, your mention of the Jomon period sent me off on a rollercoaster through wikipedia on early Japanese history. Thanks for going the extra mile!
Honestly, the invasion idea sounds pretty cool. It’s different, and I like that
Who else is here because Zelda is amazing?
Foreseeen minish Cap is my favorite, Oracle of Ages comes second
Foreseeen dont you mean link?
im here because link is amazing
dat damn kez RIGHT
She's ok.
That steed named after Iwata... What a beautiful idea! It's like his spirit is in the code of a video game.
“The team eventually decided to include music in important areas and villages so that players would immediately know that they found something noteworthy.”
Solid pun there.
An alien invasion sounds fun, though nothing new for Zelda.
5:01 They used the idea for Breath of the wild 2
5:02 “Triii-yai for-ces! Triii-yai for-ces!”
I don’t know why it made me think of that, but it did
*hears Satoru Iwata* *immediately starts tearing up a bit*
This game is begging for a sequel
Hero PFC Well, now they announced to work on a BotW2. Your wish will be granted :>
Hello from the future
@Hookers n' Cocaine chill
Why do we even need a female link? Just make Zelda the main character. It's already been done once.
Captain Cameo She’s not a fighter.
DylanDude make a Zelda who is
Excuse you. But the Wand of Gamalon is a great example as to why Zelda is a fighter.
We do not mention that here..
Zelda has already been made the main character once before? When? If you’re talking about the CDi games, which don’t count but let’s for a second pretend they do, you’re not even correct there because she’s the main character not once but TWICE in two different Zelda CDi games (Zelda the Wand of Gamelon and Zelda’s Adventure).
As for the mainline Zelda games she’s starred in exactly zero of them. And please don’t argue Spirit Tracks, just because she’s briefly playable doesn’t make her a protagonist.
In conclusion I agree I’d rather have Zelda as a playable protagonist rather than changing Link to a woman.
The arm replaced with Sheikah technology became Zonai technology!
A return to the minish could be a GREAT follow up to this game. You reduce the size of the overworld but in turn all those places have things to find and places to see when you're tiny.
Who criticized it for its minimal use of music? That's exactly what makes it so great. Everyone knows that one of the things that makes the game so beautiful is its piano melodies.. I mean it's one of my favorite parts of the games.
And the usual nonstop music does not fit on open world games.
I got sick of Xenoblade's Music after hours and hours of gameplay.
Literally been waiting for this vid
I remember how in the first shrines, the one on a cold mountain, I didn't wear anything at all (I didn't see there were chests right where you start) So I did my first three shrines without clothes and to get through the cold mountain i straight up used a torch to keep myself warm and try to use enemy fireplaces as checkpoints
People can like or dislike any game they want, but they need to be able to admit when one is this level of an achievement.
I'd honestly be fine with instead of a "female Link" do what they did with Linkle. She was meant to be Hyrule Warrior Links sister (aka she was never gonna be a "female Link"). In the game, due to having a magical compass and growing up hearing the stories of the legendary hero she thinks she's the hero's reincarnation, when in reality she's just a farm girl who happens to have a magic compass. I think including her into the series as a recurring character the same way we get Beedle would be great.
Then have a game where you can play as her, or maybe release the next major Zelda game where Link interacts with her, but then release a story DLC where you play as her.
I would like to have another multiplayer Zelda (or a multiplayer mode on a single player Zelda) with Link and Linkle cooperating to complete dungeons.
As much as I enjoyed this game, I found less and less incentive to explore as the game went on. I think it mostly has to do with the fact that rewards were kinda genric by the end. Like "oh, a bow that worse than the ones I grind from killing lynels.....yay....."
Badmunky64
I feel you. Once I got every shrine, I didn’t have much reason to get every Korok seed. I mean, do I really need more inventory when every slot is an 85+ damage Savage Lynel Sword?
I stopped after getting 85~ shrines. Same logic you had with the slots, but for me, it was"why get more health and stamina when I already have more food/potions than I know what to do with?"
Badmunky64
Why get the shrines?
Because unlike Korok seeds, each shrine is unique and (most of the time) fun
I highly suggest at least getting 95% of shrines
Honestly the shrines just gave me massive amounts of dread. Like, I enjoyed discovering them but I didn't want to go into a small, kind of claustrophobic feeling mini-dungeon and solve a puzzle. They just felt so disjointed from the rest of the world that I didn't feel attracted to them at all. Maybe if they had a more natural aesthetic I would like them more? Idk. I know it's "Sheikah technology" but I honestly didn't care for that aspect of the game either. I would more than happily discover every Korok seed though because I love exploring and coming across a Korok makes me feel even better about checking the more obscure locations.
>makes arguably the best game of all time
> can’t stop making poop jokes
The only big criticism I have botw is the fact that there's no caves... wth in the whole game the only "cave" is the shrine of resurrection. (Well there are some small caves where shrines are hidden but that's it) No spelunking for Link I guess...
