If you're in an cold climate while not wearing warm clothes and equip the dark hood, you'll find that Link looks a bit angry rather than being afraid-ish, not sure if this goes for other clothes.
The video is incorrectly named. Within the first 43 seconds alone, I’ve been gifted the very *valuable* information that Link and I are the same height. My life has new meaning.
I mean you would figure Hylian is pronounced the same way Hyrule is, and Hyrule is literally just a play on words of "High Rule." I swear, no other franchise in existence has as much confusion over the pronunciation of its proper nouns.
I am a few years younger than what Link was before the calamity and I am still a bit taller than Link. Very sad to hear that he can kill giant robots and a giant malice monster and is that short.
Blue flames act like a trigger for Sheikah devices. If you shoot a remote bomb with a blue flame, it will explode. So, instead of the blue flame “being so hot it can melt ice,” it actually has the same properties as the Sheikah Slate that can break the ice once created.
I'd argue the Great Eagle Bow is definitely worth the trouble of re-forging. It might even be the best bow in the game when you consider all factors, such as range and firing speed. The base weapon needed is always near where you get them repaired too. And I literally LOL'ed at "Urbosa's Shmiter." 🤣
@@sticc.5483 I mean, good for you and all, but after I'd got good enough the first part (beating the game in one sitting without dying) and started on learning the rest of the glitch, I *very* quickly realised I just didn't have the stones for alla that lol.

Okay you ever noticed the Fisher Boat in lurelin village? It even rocks on the water. Not just that but there also was a divine beast that resembled a sting ray. You can see it’s design hanging in the Hateno Lab. Probably there was a ocean divine beast planed in connection to Lurelin Village with Boats etc. but it got scraped (maybe due to development time issues) all divine beast also are in the corners of the map except for Vah Ruta which is quite high up unlike Lurelin Village
@@elpsycongroo5423 I think it’s more because the beasts got corrupted, else they could’ve done it. But much more I wonder what happened 10.000years ago when the beasts were built and ganon striked.

Different Links are different heights, apparently. Ocarina of Time Link is 150cm/4'11" tall as an adult in Ocarina of Time (measured at the Lakeside Lab), 170cm/5'7" in Twilight Princess (directly from Miyamoto himself), and 164cm/5'4" in Skyward Sword (calculated from in-game data).
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Yeah, although all the Links share many similar physical features, there are still differences between them. They can have different heights, voices, hair colors, eye colors, and dominant hands. For example, most Links are left-handed, but Skyward Sword Link and Breath of the Wild Link are right-handed. Most Links have blue eyes, but Wind Waker Link has green eyes and Link from Zelda 1 and 2 has brown eyes.
Link is super diddly next to almost all adult NPCs in the game. It makes perfect sense to me that he's incredibly short in general. OoT and TP Link would loom over him.
There’s another place where the developers missed a spot in the mountains where u can climb in, I discovered it when the game first came out and haven’t seen anyone else talk about it. It’s on the side of the mountain to the left of the labyrinth in gerudo desert! It’s one of my fav spots to visit every time I replay the game :] So cool to see there’s a second place like that!!
When Link is in his underwear and opens a chest he kicks it open with his barefoot and hurts his foot. Also there's the blood moon glitch when you have your Nintendo switch in sleep mode for too long. The blood moon will keep on reappearing every couple of seconds in different locations.
Champion's weapons aren't necessarily as strong as other weapons that respawn, but they've mostly (the Lightscale Trident is just there to look pretty) got *significantly* better durability and secondary characteristics than the weapons you'd find elsewhere. The Great Eagle Bow in particular is arguably the best bow in the game.
The Lightscale Trident has 70 durability, the second highest in the base game, after the Spring-Loaded Hammer, and third highest with DLC, with the fully restored Master Sword at the top
@@josephmorse3089 It's entirely outclassed by the other endgame spears. Like, just objectively worse. Has a high durability, sure, but it can't get access to the damage/durability modifiers that spears *rely* on.
Another fun fact is that if you photograph something where you can see your shadow and where Link is holding it, keep that photo, and keep on looking through the camera as if your about to take another identical shot, you will suddenly see that Link's shadow is *not* holding the slate any more despite it being the exact same position as when you took the shot before. Somewhere on my slate I should still have two pictures of a korok where Link's shadow is holding the slate in one but not the other lmao
Age of Calamity IS a canonical depiction of what happened before the Calamity.... But it is a canon AU of those events. It isn't exactly how it went down pre-BOTW as we know it, so while it isn't the canon prequel to that game, it does give us a lot of good ideas of how it may have canonically played out.
If you're in a cold climate and have a fire weapon, the temperature will rise a little bit, same goes for when is a hot climate and you have an ice weapon
Indeed, you can also melt ice blocks (to free chests or that one shrine) by just standing there with a fire weapon equipped without slashing at the ice and using up durability. But if you came prepared, several campfires will get the job done much quicker and at easy to light with a flame weapon
Creating a Champion shows the Sheikah Slate's eye-camera removing itself as a little dragonfly drone and flying around to take a selfie of Link. Wonder why they didn’t include that in the game. Also, in addition to the children following Link, every NPC in Hateno Village has unique dialogue when Link is holding the blue flame. p.s. why the random shade at Age of Calamity?
The eye of the Sheikah slate can actually pop out and fly around like a little drone. It's shown in the book, and I assume that's how Link takes those selfies.
There's a hole in a mountain near the path going up to the Goron mine near the open sided cave. You can sneak a little into the map with that hole too.
Mildly useful information: the OG meme "All your base are belong to us" is from the sidescrolling space shooter Zero Wing, originally released in 1989 in arcades but ported to the Sega Mega Drive in 1991, but only for Japan and Europe. However, it was released on the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass Sega Genesis collection in June 2022, as well as ported to Steam in August, meaning it's now officially available to the American audience. The "canonical connection" Age of Calamity has to Breath of the Wild is that it's an alternate timeline created by Terrako traveling back in time. The only effect that it has on the original Breath of the Wild story at all is that the version of Terrako that was hiding in a box in Zelda's study traveled back in time about a year before the events 100 years in the past, so that he no longer exists in the original timeline. So in short, it's canonically noncanonical.
you should add that in hateno village there are two women talking near a cart and if you attempt to talk to them, they will get mad. you can go behind the cart to eavesdrop.
Gonna just copy-paste my comment from the last one, for your convenience. :) I'll leave out most of the parts about cooking because I've realized those factoids are actually useful. When "threatening" townspeople, they have different reaction text based on whether the threat is a melee weapon, a bow, a Remote Bomb, or a monster. (There may also be custom text for a galloping horse, but I'm not sure about that one.) Some actions prevent NPCs from reacting when you threaten them, such as sleeping or tending the pumpkin field in Kakariko Village. Beedle, specifically, will react to being threatened while he sleeps, but he's the only NPC thus far who is discovered to be that way. NPCs only consider Remote Bombs to be threats if they're inside the blast radius. This is unusual because this implies they have intimate familiarity with the exact blast radius of Remote Bombs, which makes no logical sense. Rivali has red circles on his cheeks, a trait only exhibited by children and adolescents among the Rito, indicating that he was not a grown adult when he died. Including the oceans and chasms around Greater Hyrule, the traversible BotW map is exactly 80 km^2. In addition to Dubious Food, there's also Rock-Hard Food, which is obtained by including non-salt rocks or gems in the recipe. Breath of the Wild takes place in the southern hemisphere, evidenced by the fact that the sun and moon are always north of the player. Breath of the Wild takes place during the summer, and specifically during Daylight Savings Time. This is evidenced by the fact that daytime lasts from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM, which is more than 12 hours long and is centered around 1:00 PM instead of Noon. In addition to this, shadows point due south at 1:00 (both AM and PM) instead of at noon/midnight. Despite the fact that the game takes place during Daylight Savings Time, the Blood Moon always triggers at midnight. This suggests that, outside of DST, the Blood Moon would actually happen at 11:00 PM. Alternatively, it might suggest that the time in Hyrule is set off by an hour to put it in line with the Blood Moon, instead of putting it in line with the sun and moon in general. The guards will allow Link into Gerudo Town only if he's wearing a feminine Gerudo outfit. The guards will accept Sand Boots or Snow Boots as an alternative to the Gerudo Sirwal, but will *not* accept the Thunder Helm as an alternative to the Gerudo Veil.
1:24 isn't useless, it's a fantastic clue to understanding the game's themes. The monster is a boar. The main character ends up with his hand infected by the malicious substance that had been coating it. Nudge nudge wink wink
Wow **wink wink back** But like do u actually think Nintendo is so planned and organized? Do u think they have a whole timeline, compared to what fans theorize? Do u think they had already planned link getting infected?
@@eemoot There's a whole rabbit hole in answering that called the collective unconscious. Not all contiguous creative design is intentional, often it's inspired by the dreamscape.
@@chiffmonkey Oohhhhh. Okay so you're saying we can't really answer that because everything that's connected isnt always planned? But why are we theorizing so hard for if Nintendo doesn't give a damn about timelines and contiguous games anyway? Or are they paying attention to it? Thank you for your answer though it makes sense.
@@eemoot They do give a damn. The "timelines" were misunderstood in the west as scifi alternate realities. They are eastern thematic storylines about the ways a person can live their life. Basically DT = Fight the darkness, AT = Run away from the darkness, CT = Embrace the darkness.
There's another hole in the wall of the map by the broka island korok spot over in that gigantic pool of hot spring water on the trail to death mountain. Because of how the wall geometry works in the game, you can actually get behind three or four walls behind that one.
For the first fact, how can you measure someone’s height in pixels with a 3D dynamic camera? Pixels is a measure of how much space something takes up on the screen, so practically anything could be 382 pixels tall or whatever it was if you just look at it from the right camera angle. And link by no means stays the same distance from the camera at all times, so measuring it in pixels is kinda meaningless.
@@TheZeldaEnthusiast Ok I watched it but that doesn't change that saying "link is 348 pixels tall" is completely meaningless without also knowing both the resolution of the screen it's being viewed on and the position of the camera relative to link, it's only useful in that other video because he kept those two factors the same and used the ratio of pixels to convert it into in game units
My favorite one I translated is the pins you can put on the map that can be seen in the world its says It's dangerous to go alone a line from the first game
The first fact uses pixels as a measurement incorrectly. In a 3d game with changing camera angles, using pixels as a measurement is incorrect in determining distance. Link could be right up next to the camera on the highest resolution possible to be many pixels tall, while at the same time link could be as far away as possible from the camera and using the lowest resolution possible to only being a few pixels tall. Not that the fact itself is wrong in determining links height. You can determine someones height using pixels as a reference compared to another object, if the object and the person are using the same distance, resolution etc., but flat out saying "link is x amount of pixels tall" is wrong
Fun fact, the Sheika slate not having a shadow and flying around in Selfie more is actually due to Nintendo original conceiving the eye on the back of the slate to become a sort of dragonfly-drone-camera. Guess they never got around to changing it
I believe it says in the complete guide book that the sheikah slate has a small drone inside of it that floats around for selfies. It’s still weird that it doesn’t have a shadow though.
Something I didn’t know until I watched a smallant video, the place where you fight Dark Beast Ganon actually has sort of an arena you can’t go outside of. There’s a golden border you can’t pass if you go far enough away.
okay anyways, the first fact is technically useful for doing unintended stuff. knowing the exact measurments of link is very helpful to knowing where he can and cant fit
I wouldn't mind knowing what other places let you see all 4 Divine Beasts when they're all ready to go. Is this a deliberate and super niche opportunity or are there a lot of lower ground areas where you can do this?
Endura Carrots can be found near all the Fairy Fountains, but are typically out of line-of-sight from the fountain itself, hidden behind rocks or trees. As if someone who lived in the fountain picked all the ones they could reach...for some reason.
Holy shit. I just mindlessly clicked on this video, and wehn I got 2 mins in I was like "holy shit this sounds like Tony" and alas, Tony it IS you. Great vid man
There was concept art for a Sheikah drone of sorts, so the selfie camera might be an unexplained drone that flies out from the Sheikah Slate to be a free-moving camera for Link.
6:25 theres another one if those unpatched holes over near the maze in the gerudo desert for the barbarian armor piece. If you climb up the cliff face you can find it, the bottom of it isnt patched
hi, idk if you already said this in your videos but: if you attack some npc (like the gerudo soldiers inside the city that protect the entrance of the """"caste"""" or some gorons) they will fight back
There is another gap that the developers missed a little bit south of Hateno if I remember correctly. Its on the bottom of a huge rock and you can see underneath the map if you crouch.
I don't remember where, but a book or website said that the eye on the slate is a mini drobe that can fly 360° around link, and there's a pin that comes out of the slate that is the remote bomb, on the model of the bomb, you can see the pin.
@@TheZeldaEnthusiast not a direct reference but it looks very bug-like to me and there's beetles that have big spots on their body that look like giant eyes! i dont know if that was their intention haha but it did seem like it
None of this shall lead to better gameplay you say? Well my good sir I grant you one point to your "assisted souls" score. I shall no longer waste my arrows on flying V formations of ghost birds in the hopes of raining chickaloo nuts or drumsticks.
Speaking of Vah Nabooris’ face, it has fangs- just like wild camels do! In the wild, camels have these fierce fangs that can be used to eat very tough foods. When kept by humans, the fangs are often filed down for safety, and because the food the humans supply them is much softer and doesn’t require their fangs.
i have a super useless one: the bird that you can hear in the bg a lot of the time in the woods is called a whippoorwill. maybe thats common knowledge but i felt so smart for recognizing it lmao
@@TheZeldaEnthusiast yay thanks! if you listen close next time you hear it it sounds like its saying "whippoorwill whippoorwill whippoorwill whippoorwill!"
there actually is evidence of the little flying mechanism that takes selfie pictures in the game. i keep posting this on videos like this but it never gets noticed: *If you fiddle around with the selfie camera and try to pan it behind purah she will eventually look at the direction of the player, not link. occasionally she will go "huh?"* i found this week 1 of launch and to this day i don't think anyone knows about it

link is proof that the terrifying short person stereotype is real
Given that his old clothes are "shrunk" when he wakes up, he was even shorter when he was killing three Lynels at once.
Blue flames act like a trigger for Sheikah devices. If you shoot a remote bomb with a blue flame, it will explode. So, instead of the blue flame “being so hot it can melt ice,” it actually has the same properties as the Sheikah Slate that can break the ice once created.

you should add that in hateno village there are two women talking near a cart and if you attempt to talk to them, they will get mad. you can go behind the cart to eavesdrop.
not useless, but i forgot you can also use stasis to see which decayed guardians will actually wake up
Gonna just copy-paste my comment from the last one, for your convenience. :)
I'll leave out most of the parts about cooking because I've realized those factoids are actually useful.
When "threatening" townspeople, they have different reaction text based on whether the threat is a melee weapon, a bow, a Remote Bomb, or a monster. (There may also be custom text for a galloping horse, but I'm not sure about that one.)
Some actions prevent NPCs from reacting when you threaten them, such as sleeping or tending the pumpkin field in Kakariko Village. Beedle, specifically, will react to being threatened while he sleeps, but he's the only NPC thus far who is discovered to be that way.
NPCs only consider Remote Bombs to be threats if they're inside the blast radius. This is unusual because this implies they have intimate familiarity with the exact blast radius of Remote Bombs, which makes no logical sense.
Rivali has red circles on his cheeks, a trait only exhibited by children and adolescents among the Rito, indicating that he was not a grown adult when he died.
Including the oceans and chasms around Greater Hyrule, the traversible BotW map is exactly 80 km^2.
In addition to Dubious Food, there's also Rock-Hard Food, which is obtained by including non-salt rocks or gems in the recipe.
Breath of the Wild takes place in the southern hemisphere, evidenced by the fact that the sun and moon are always north of the player.
Breath of the Wild takes place during the summer, and specifically during Daylight Savings Time. This is evidenced by the fact that daytime lasts from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM, which is more than 12 hours long and is centered around 1:00 PM instead of Noon. In addition to this, shadows point due south at 1:00 (both AM and PM) instead of at noon/midnight.
Despite the fact that the game takes place during Daylight Savings Time, the Blood Moon always triggers at midnight. This suggests that, outside of DST, the Blood Moon would actually happen at 11:00 PM. Alternatively, it might suggest that the time in Hyrule is set off by an hour to put it in line with the Blood Moon, instead of putting it in line with the sun and moon in general.
The guards will allow Link into Gerudo Town only if he's wearing a feminine Gerudo outfit. The guards will accept Sand Boots or Snow Boots as an alternative to the Gerudo Sirwal, but will *not* accept the Thunder Helm as an alternative to the Gerudo Veil.
@@gaysarahk yes
1:24 isn't useless, it's a fantastic clue to understanding the game's themes. The monster is a boar. The main character ends up with his hand infected by the malicious substance that had been coating it. Nudge nudge wink wink
Wow **wink wink back**
But like do u actually think Nintendo is so planned and organized? Do u think they have a whole timeline, compared to what fans theorize? Do u think they had already planned link getting infected?
@@eemoot There's a whole rabbit hole in answering that called the collective unconscious. Not all contiguous creative design is intentional, often it's inspired by the dreamscape.
@@chiffmonkey Oohhhhh. Okay so you're saying we can't really answer that because everything that's connected isnt always planned?
But why are we theorizing so hard for if Nintendo doesn't give a damn about timelines and contiguous games anyway?
Or are they paying attention to it?
Thank you for your answer though it makes sense.
@@eemoot They do give a damn. The "timelines" were misunderstood in the west as scifi alternate realities. They are eastern thematic storylines about the ways a person can live their life. Basically DT = Fight the darkness, AT = Run away from the darkness, CT = Embrace the darkness.
@@chiffmonkey I'm so sorry but what is AT, DT and CT?
You say useless but this video helped me pass my bar exam and now I'm a wizard
There's another hole in the wall of the map by the broka island korok spot over in that gigantic pool of hot spring water on the trail to death mountain. Because of how the wall geometry works in the game, you can actually get behind three or four walls behind that one.
Thank you for the more detailed description of how to help find it!
For the first fact, how can you measure someone’s height in pixels with a 3D dynamic camera? Pixels is a measure of how much space something takes up on the screen, so practically anything could be 382 pixels tall or whatever it was if you just look at it from the right camera angle. And link by no means stays the same distance from the camera at all times, so measuring it in pixels is kinda meaningless.
Go watch the bread pirates video on height measurement. Linked in description
@@TheZeldaEnthusiast Ok I watched it but that doesn't change that saying "link is 348 pixels tall" is completely meaningless without also knowing both the resolution of the screen it's being viewed on and the position of the camera relative to link, it's only useful in that other video because he kept those two factors the same and used the ratio of pixels to convert it into in game units
@@chlli okay so a chicken leg is like 6 inches right and link is almost as tall as 10 and a half of those
My favorite one I translated is the pins you can put on the map that can be seen in the world its says It's dangerous to go alone a line from the first game
This bit of info made the cut for the upcoming 20 min vid ;) thanks!
The first fact uses pixels as a measurement incorrectly. In a 3d game with changing camera angles, using pixels as a measurement is incorrect in determining distance. Link could be right up next to the camera on the highest resolution possible to be many pixels tall, while at the same time link could be as far away as possible from the camera and using the lowest resolution possible to only being a few pixels tall. Not that the fact itself is wrong in determining links height. You can determine someones height using pixels as a reference compared to another object, if the object and the person are using the same distance, resolution etc., but flat out saying "link is x amount of pixels tall" is wrong
Go watch the video i source in the description by the bread pirate on how he measured height using pixels. Good stuff
12:06 urbosas WHAT
Fun fact, the Sheika slate not having a shadow and flying around in Selfie more is actually due to Nintendo original conceiving the eye on the back of the slate to become a sort of dragonfly-drone-camera. Guess they never got around to changing it
I believe it says in the complete guide book that the sheikah slate has a small drone inside of it that floats around for selfies. It’s still weird that it doesn’t have a shadow though.
Yeah, i added to that thought in the 20 min vid too ;)
barely a minute in and i learn im the same height as link. this is amazing information. now i know how INSANELY TALL everyone else in hyrule is! 😂
Something I didn’t know until I watched a smallant video, the place where you fight Dark Beast Ganon actually has sort of an arena you can’t go outside of. There’s a golden border you can’t pass if you go far enough away.
Truuue. I am aware of that wall, and probably wouldn't have thought to include that fact, but it may be worth using in the 20 min followup. THANKS!
I was promised useless information but almost all of this had a use, albeit a strange one
Horse name killed me
The benefits of being a 5'2 guy is that i can always just bring up "Well link is also 5'2 and you wouldn't discredit him now would you?"
You keep giving useless information... and I keep loving it! Great stuff as always!
RUclips: hey wanna watch 15 minutes of useless information about Botw?
Me: don't mind if I do
okay anyways, the first fact is technically useful for doing unintended stuff. knowing the exact measurments of link is very helpful to knowing where he can and cant fit
I wouldn't mind knowing what other places let you see all 4 Divine Beasts when they're all ready to go. Is this a deliberate and super niche opportunity or are there a lot of lower ground areas where you can do this?
Endura Carrots can be found near all the Fairy Fountains, but are typically out of line-of-sight from the fountain itself, hidden behind rocks or trees. As if someone who lived in the fountain picked all the ones they could reach...for some reason.
I learned way to late that the ancient shield auto parry's for you when you just block.
Me too, me too
"Don't worry, it's not worth crying over spilled milk" 💀1:49
Holy shit. I just mindlessly clicked on this video, and wehn I got 2 mins in I was like "holy shit this sounds like Tony" and alas, Tony it IS you. Great vid man
Bro seriously said urbosa's shmiter
There was concept art for a Sheikah drone of sorts, so the selfie camera might be an unexplained drone that flies out from the Sheikah Slate to be a free-moving camera for Link.
Haha, nice. I covered that bit in the 20 min video ;)
Whenever I play BoTW, I don’t use the Champions’ weapons until the final boss fight. Then I go ham lol
Poetic justice
"You see those warriors from Gerudo Town...? They've got curved swords.... Curved... Swords..."
6:25 theres another one if those unpatched holes over near the maze in the gerudo desert for the barbarian armor piece. If you climb up the cliff face you can find it, the bottom of it isnt patched
Thanks!
Link's 5 feet 2 inches tall
Now that's what I call useless information
hi, idk if you already said this in your videos but: if you attack some npc (like the gerudo soldiers inside the city that protect the entrance of the """"caste"""" or some gorons) they will fight back
Whenever i get to a "season 2" of this series, I'll have to remember this one. Thanks
The Rito being birds doesn’t make the chicken thing a joke- there’s a Rito in Gerudo Town who complains that the meat seller has no drumsticks-
Haha now that ive gotta look into, thanks!
Ah yeah that’s some high quality, wildly specific, almost entirely and utterly useless info. My favorite kind.
There is another gap that the developers missed a little bit south of Hateno if I remember correctly. Its on the bottom of a huge rock and you can see underneath the map if you crouch.
Awesome bit of info, thank YOU!
"The High-Lane text" 💀
"Urbosa's Shi-mighter" 💀
jokes on you this video wasnt useless, i didnt know that there was a chest on the right when you enter the temple of time
Man I loved this video it brought alot of memories and gave me more information that I mostly didnt know about thanks man
Thank YOU!
epic name for a horse 3:49
I don't remember where, but a book or website said that the eye on the slate is a mini drobe that can fly 360° around link, and there's a pin that comes out of the slate that is the remote bomb, on the model of the bomb, you can see the pin.
on the searching code for tree, it may also be trees as a data structure
the eye in the sheika slate canonically comes out and flys like a small drone, like the golden snitch from harry potter
The most useless information: the asleep npcs will sit and stare at u when u wake them up even if u shoot them with a bomb arrow
It's honestly incredible how detailed BOTW is
Just started playing TOTK a few days ago and can't wait to see all of its secrets and details
12:22 This is a huge moment of nostalgia for BOTW for me. I got that specific sword so many times.
That elemental Keese fact was great! I didn’t know that until now!!
that person who formed the beedles band was also wearing majora's mask and turned around in the original video lol that was the cherry on top
Is that another Beatles reference that's going over my head rn?
@@TheZeldaEnthusiast not a direct reference but it looks very bug-like to me and there's beetles that have big spots on their body that look like giant eyes! i dont know if that was their intention haha but it did seem like it
Amazing video, but the pronunciation of “scimitar” has me rolling. 😂
12:06 (shmiter) lol
None of this shall lead to better gameplay you say?
Well my good sir I grant you one point to your "assisted souls" score. I shall no longer waste my arrows on flying V formations of ghost birds in the hopes of raining chickaloo nuts or drumsticks.
The lynel swords at least have corresponding shapes of the main blade on the bottom of the handle
Not off-the-chart Death Mountain is about how hot it gets where I live in the summer. That's...interesting.
Speaking of Vah Nabooris’ face, it has fangs- just like wild camels do! In the wild, camels have these fierce fangs that can be used to eat very tough foods. When kept by humans, the fangs are often filed down for safety, and because the food the humans supply them is much softer and doesn’t require their fangs.
i just keep the champion weapons in my house because i don’t want to use them and have to replace them lol. loving these videos btw
i have a super useless one: the bird that you can hear in the bg a lot of the time in the woods is called a whippoorwill. maybe thats common knowledge but i felt so smart for recognizing it lmao
Thank you for that. I like this one!
@@TheZeldaEnthusiast yay thanks! if you listen close next time you hear it it sounds like its saying "whippoorwill whippoorwill whippoorwill whippoorwill!"
Watching this video confirmed that I’m a procrastinator who NEEDS, no, CRAVES help
The critical meals rng I found to be higher if you are using a new meal recipe
I had an idea to include time travel in a Zelda game, and a few months later age of calamity came out. They STOLE MY IDEA
This was interesting and it WILL enhance my gameplay as I will think of these whilst I play! Thank you for making this video!
there actually is evidence of the little flying mechanism that takes selfie pictures in the game. i keep posting this on videos like this but it never gets noticed: *If you fiddle around with the selfie camera and try to pan it behind purah she will eventually look at the direction of the player, not link. occasionally she will go "huh?"* i found this week 1 of launch and to this day i don't think anyone knows about it
Well I'd love to look more into this and potentially use it in the next one, thanks so much for the info!
@@TheZeldaEnthusiast AYYYYY FINALLY

How to know someone is American:
They say "one . five eight" meters instead of "one meter fifty-eight" / "a hundred and fifty-eight centimeters".
I like you, guy. You're input intrigues and sometimes amuses me.
The name's Tim, and I welcome you to my subscription list. You'll be kept snug in between The Slow Mo Guys and Theophany - Topic.
if you open a chest without wearing pants (and therefore not wearing shoes) he'll kick the chest and stubs his toe and bounces around holding his foot in pain.
According to the art book, the eye of the sheikah slate detaches and flies around, explaing the third person camera's wierd properties.
I love that Link is both short, left-handed and a badass
You actually taught me why it took so long for me to load my game after my failed wind bombs 😅 I'll wait for the bomb to fully explode from now on haha
Yeah, the new Hyrule Warriors isn’t canon. The timeline you create in that game is separate, one where everyone doesn’t die to the calamity.
I hear you…
