You mean 900 Korok seeds, not Koroks. Koroks are the characters in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. You don’t collect the Korok characters of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. You collect the Korok seeds.
She womaned Gabon for 100 years, slowing his progress to a crawl. Link, who was free of such a burden solved all of Hyrules problems before showing up and finishing Gabon singlehandedly.
I myself will admit I made it far through the game until this point and decided to give up In shame and this is and the the release of tears of the Kingdom has brought me to this video to catch me up to speed on the story again bc I want to play tears of the kingdom so bad I sold my switch bc I was broke and didn't have a job at the time but I'm buying tears of the kingdom first thing tomorrow on my sister's switch so we can both play it on our time off ❤🎉😊
nice ! I just finished the game (starts at september 2022, end at june 2023). it's a bit late, but I've come here to see the recap of my adventure. turns out I was doing it in a weird order, I went from zora to desert to bird island and take death mountain last. it was a really fun game, and until the end I don't really know what to use starlight fragment for. I thought I can craft some meteorite weapon
It wasn't, as far as I'm aware. Zelda sealing away Calamity Ganon was basically just another instance of what happened in the previous Calamity. If that was the end of it and Tears of the Kingdom wasn't a thing, Calamity Ganon would probably just spring up again in another 10,000 years once enough Malice had built up.
Here's my take Actually it's no better than the seal that was originally made, ganon will wake up again after thousand of years only if ganondorf "the source of misma" is alive. At the end of totk link and zelda defeated ganondorf the source so probably ganon will not exist without the source
As much as I wanted to like BOTW... it just didn't do it for me. When Ocarina came out, the N64 was the peak of consoles regarding performance, and the whole 3D games were revolutionary back then. But when BOTW came out, there were plenty of games on other consoles running at 1080p-60fps and even 4K, so I found the resolution and framerate a bit distracting, as well as the whole open world idea and having hundreds of weapons that would eventually break. And now that I'm watching the recap story, I just can't seem to find it interesting, lol. Not sure if it's me, or if Zelda is drifting away from its essence. I know TOTK will be similar, and I will play it no matter what, but I'd rather stick to using a normal-unbreakable sword, dungeons, and not being able to go straight to the final boss from the very start of the game. I did like the divine beasts as puzzle-filled dungeons tho, let's see what tears has to offer
Most overrated and annoying game ever. Story recap? easy: - Link awakens - Objective destroy Ganon - Regain control of the divine beasts - Destroy Ganon The End
Why comment? Just keep your hate to yourself. Many of us love the game. Nothing you say will change that so you might as well just stay silent and stew in your own toxicity.
@@adammason555 Nope. Breath of the Wild was lauded for it's open world gameplay and variety but it's widely accepted the story was lackluster. There's a lot of filler but the main plot is very weak.
I disagree. The story isn’t spoon fed to you like in other games, but its an incredibly epic, emotional tale told unconventionally. Then there’s all the environmental storytelling going on around Hyrule as you explore. In short, there’s a lot of plot and I personally found it compelling.
@@adammason555 Yeah. That's not a plot. Those are side quests. The actual main storyline of BotW can easily be summarised as "Link wakes up from a 100-year-long nap to find that he's lost his memory. After forcing Link to prove unnecessarily that he's semi-competent, the king exposits that 100 years ago, Link and a team of heroes lost in a fight with Ganon and Zelda went to Hyrule Castle alone, managing to place a seal upon him. Now Link must go to Hyrule Castle and defeat Calamity Ganon and, if he feels like it (but only if he feels like it) he can make the fight easier by going and completing four dungeons." That is it. That is literally it. The whole game can be completed by clearing the first four shrines and then walking to the castle and completing a handful of boss fights and the whole game is reliant on the player seeking out the content. And whilst I accept that lots of games can be summarised very quickly very few can be summarised as quickly as Breath of the Wild. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's devoid of content. It isn't. There's plenty to see and do and it leans strongly into allowing the players to make their own content which is good. It just doesn't have an epic and emotional plot. It's not even good storytelling since it's delivered almost entirely through exposition. If you're looking for games with a good story, a quick Google will find you plenty of lists, none of which contain Breath of the Wild.
Fantastic video guys! Definitely needed the recap hah. Watched this right after a live candlelit performance of music throughout the series and now getting in line for the TOTK midnight release! Cheers fellow Hylians! 💚
True... except they left out the details of the people you hang out with in Rito Village and Goron City. I wanted to remember the stuff I did with Yunobo, who I somehow forgot completely.
I got to the last boss and couldn't win started again couldn't get as far took forever and then new one dropped so just wanted the story at this point jump into the next game 😅
@@ThwipThwipBoom Maybe it's not something you'd enjoy if you didn't like Breath of the Wild, but it certainly won't be forgotten about a few months after release. If Breath of the Wild is anything to go by, it will be widely considered a great Zelda game and will remain relevant for a long time.
thank you so much, i needed this before jumping into totk bc i wanted to feel the story of it from the beginning, but i’ve played botw twice and didn’t catch half of this 😂
If you played Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity, that story erased this story. In Age of Calamity, Princess Zelda from the Breath of the Wild timeline accidentally sends a mini Guardian named Terrako back in time. Terrako is able to warn the inhabitants of Hyrule about the arrival of Calamity Ganon, allowing them to prepare for the upcoming conflict. Very frustrating and undermines fans who enjoyed this game and its story.
Problem with that. Both Hyrule Warriors games are non-canon. Age of Calamity in particular people will argue due to discrepancies in the timeline of events.
Except that AoC is essentially a parallel reality so it doesn't undermine anything whatsoever, especially when you consider that most people who played BotW have no idea what Hyrule Warriors even is...
It's basically a different timeline. They dont mess with each other by any means. Also as the other two have stated, AoC isnt cannon in the slightest. Now it does give more character development for all the character's, but even that doesn't technically exist in the BOTW timeline.
'Age of Calamity' included a major split in the 'BotW' timeline. It wouldn't be a Zelda game without an alternate timeline, and certainly by the end of Age of Calamity, it's abundantly clear that the original Breath of the Wild timeline has been split, placing Age of Calamity in its own divergent timeline. The nice clean Zelda timeline has been split once more. In Age of Calamity, Princess Zelda from the Breath of the Wild timeline accidentally sends a mini Guardian named Terrako back in time. Terrako is able to warn the inhabitants of Hyrule about the arrival of Calamity Ganon, allowing them to prepare for the upcoming conflict. The Champions are aided by Riju, Teba, Sidon, and Yunobo, who arrive from the future to save the Divine Beasts. The different events allow Princess Zelda to control her powers at a much earlier point than in the Breath of the Wild timeline. At the end of Age of Calamity, Terrako sacrifices itself to mortally wound Calamity Ganon, allowing Princess Zelda to seal him away for good. This means the events of Breath of the Wild never happened, but they do exist as a separate timeline, as the characters who arrived from the future are sent back to their original time period. There is now a timeline where Zelda defeated Calamity Ganon and ushered in a new age of peace for Hyrule, and the original timeline, where Link sleeps for a century and Hyrule is devastated by Ganon's armies, exists as a separate entity. This raises the question of why this timeline was created? The Breath of the Wild sequel (Tears of the Kingdom) will almost certainly follow the events of the original game, but it's possible that Age of Calamity will be referenced by the characters who returned from the future.
I’ve played ocarina of time and never got botw because I felt it wasn’t as polished as I wanted. I got totk and I hope it lives up to its 75$ price tag😭
@@empynitebyte what would be great if they made their own way of reflecting on the game instead of doing the exact recap method, that nintendo posted just 2 days prior to that. You know, some creative input instead of saying "Hey let me just copy what you're doing but make minor adjustments and add our own logo to it"
@donnie bankoe barkie Nintendos video is 6 minutes long and is not even half as detailed as this one. This video is not even close to the Nintendo video. Even if it was a copy they still did more work than Nintendo as it has more detailed.

Ah...the legendary story of the knight who went on an adventure to collect 900 koroks instead of saving the princess.
And kicked in 1000 doors to destroy peoples pottery😂
You mean 900 Korok seeds, not Koroks. Koroks are the characters in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. You don’t collect the Korok characters of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. You collect the Korok seeds.
@@Armando_Aranda Did you just write a whole paragraph for something you coulda said in five words?
@@Armando_Aranda dang, you must be fun at parties
💀
I never really thought about it, but Zelda going to the castle to face calamity Ganon by herself while all the champions have fallen is kinda badass
That is why the title is legend of zelda
Fine, I’ll do it myself…
yeah dude and then she fought him for 100 years 💀
while wearing a dress
She womaned Gabon for 100 years, slowing his progress to a crawl. Link, who was free of such a burden solved all of Hyrules problems before showing up and finishing Gabon singlehandedly.
You forgot the part where all of us died a thousand times fighting thunderblight Ganon and almost decided to return the game.

❤🎉😊
Yea what was up with that fight
I quit playing after that fight. I spent so long trying to find weapons to fight him with that I just quit caring
Queen gibdo: Hello there
bro ug i beat it with ease i died once and memorized the patterns
200+ hours in BOTW and there was hardly a story that was longer than a 5 minute tale.
Great summary, masterfully done
I didn't play BoTW but I really like the way Tears of the Kingdom feels
U should, you'll appreciate more totk
Sooo much better than Nintendo’s official recap👏🏼
Watching this in the car outside of midnight release lol. 30 min to go

Use it for the 3rd and final upgrade for your clothes
About to fight gannon in botw then start tears of the kingdom thanks for this vid 😎
So what made Zelda's seal at the end of the game better than the seal put on Ganon originally?
He was weakened from Link defeating Calamity Ganon
You see, now ganon no longer has any influence on hyrule
Because the plot requires it to be stronger duh
It wasn't, as far as I'm aware. Zelda sealing away Calamity Ganon was basically just another instance of what happened in the previous Calamity. If that was the end of it and Tears of the Kingdom wasn't a thing, Calamity Ganon would probably just spring up again in another 10,000 years once enough Malice had built up.

Thank you! I'm just about to finish ToTK and had forgotten most of the details here! Well done!
Truly remarkable. Well done. ;-;
Honestly, this feels like a classic children's book. Someone needs to get on that!
Thanks! I haven’t played BOTW but started playing TOTK and this gives some good information as i go forward:))
I don't play BOTW but the lore fascinates me
Good video. I just got a Nintendo Switch but can only buy one game. ToTK it is then.
Jon well done!
like if you're watching this just moments before playing the game.

"A century has passed"...I mean, call it quits 😂
Very good synopsis of BOTW
So....shadow of collosus for a new generation?
Demon lord awake a few years too late, else you'd have a evil vs evil battle
Didn't understand
Feel like the other mainline Zeldazzzzz have a better story.

- Link awakens
- Objective destroy Ganon
- Regain control of the divine beasts
- Destroy Ganon

"Jason! Jason! Jason! Jason!"
