To add onto the Eyes of the Beholder quest, the eyes are hidden in the exact spots where, in BOTW, there were chests that could only be accessed once you claimed the corresponding ability. The magnesis shrine at the north of the plateau has an eye underwater where a metal chest used to be. The bomb shrine in the east has an eye in a breakable rock wall. The stasis shrine in the south is under a fallen chunk of sky island, where in botw there was a boulder. The cryonis shrine in the west has an eye stuck in ice. (the exact location of the botw treasure is now a korok)
The photos hanging on the first floor of Links House in Hateno ( now Zelda's House ) corresponds to the quests where you need to find clues about Zelda's whereabouts aka the lucky clover gazette quest . I noticed it after finishing the quest . 😊
In addition to the point of "The Yiga and the Sheikah," it's also shown that if you wear the Yiga mask in Gerudo Town, you will be arrested and locked up, only to be found as to actually be Link. They'll ask for you to remove it before letting you leave (if you don't just Ascend out). This ties in with the Gerudo also having a history with the Yiga, since the Yiga clan's hideout is found North of Gerudo Desert and have been shown to try and steal the Gerudo's special helm, which they recreated in TotK
Something I noticed about the stable trotters during play through: Each of their instruments correspond to the instruments played in Majora's Mask. Most notably when you play at the Milk Bar. Horn - Deku pipes, drums- Goron drums, violin/strings- Zora guitar, and flute- ocarina. (I can't remember if this was pointed out in the first one)
Nintendo kept saying there is no romance between Link and Zelda. But I however knew there is as I played both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom Story. Here is the evidences I found: - As Link walks out the Shrine of Resurrection, the Japanese Text in the Mission log speaks of a more personal perspectives as Link stated that he heard a beautiful woman's voice direction the location being mark on the Sheikah Slate. Yet he felt - King Rhoam assigning “HIM” as her appointed knight in in the first entry of Zelda’s diary - She is the only person that helps her Appointed Knight and Hero to be more opened to her as seen in Zelda’s diary entry in BOTW; explaining why he felt necessary to remain silent because with so much at stake and too many eyes upon him. - After the Calamity emerges beneath Hyrule Castle and nearly 80% of the land’s population is nearby wiped out, Link is gravely wounded defending his princess. She jumps in front of Link which activates her sealing powers. It is not a friendship love. It is a romantic love to her knight. - As Zelda is about to placed the Master Sword to it's pedestal, she is about to ask the Deku Tree to deliver a message of how much she loves Link. But it was cut off as he reassure her that her words would sound sweeter in her voice instead. In the Champion’s Ballad DLC, Kass hints Zelda’s love for Link at the very last song. Read this lyric here: 🎵 “The princess's love for her fallen knight awakens her power / And within the castle the Calamity is forced to cower. But the knight survives! In the Shrine of Resurrection he sleeps, until from his healing dream he leaps! For fierce and deadly trials await. To regain his strength. To fulfill his fate. To become a hero once again! To wrest the princess from evil's den. The hero, the princess-hand in hand-Must bring the light back to this land.” 🎵 - After you collected all of Link's memories, the Japanese version of Breath of the Wild once again proven it had give Link more personality when he said this: "I traveled to the 13 places of reminiscence and received Princess Zelda's feelings. Within the memories, Princess Zelda is trying her hardest... I want to rescue Princess Zelda as soon as possible and see her smile once again with my own eyes." - Petals of the Silent Princess flowers represent their endless love as Bolton has mentioned after the Terry Town side quest. - In memory 8 of the Dragon Tears, Zelda tells Rauru her description of Link as well as her fondness of her knight/hero/lover. Her ancestors acted like the kind of parents who would be interested in meeting their daughter’s boyfriend and hoping to put Link’s mind at ease. - Before the pair set out to investigate the glooms beneath Hyrule Castle, Zelda was about to surprise Link with the newly improved Champion’s Tunic as you read another diary in her Secret Study Room. This may be a way to make a marriage purposal since Link has grown immerse with the Zora's cultural ways since he was a boy. If you think how Mipha is gonna give him the Zora Armor before the Calamity struck, it makes alot of sense. - Both become teachers in Zelda’s School to educate a new generation of Hylians in Hateno Village with the assistant of Symin (since they saw themselves through them). - I’m not sure what the Japanese version is like, it claims that it is their home while the western called Link’s formal home “Zelda’s House”. - A scene you get of Link surrounded by the silent princess flowers, a flower field where there are princess flowers and blue nightshade side-by-side, an npc implying married couples by dream homes, that dream home having a study and silent princesses nearby. - After completing the side quest in Lurelin Village, NPC tells Link about the couple’s secret visit at the Lover’s Pond (meaning Zelda visits there with Link accompanying her while disguising herself from raising suspicion) as the Scholar Princess is fascinated with the fairies dancing around at night time. - While the original Western version of Tears of the Kingdom calls this side quest “Potential Princess Sightings”, Link calls her "my sweet princess" in the Japanese quest log version: 「マイ・スウィート・プリンセス」 - in the final boss battle, Light Dragon (Zelda) comes to save and aids Link against Draconified Ganondorf which could mean not all of her is lost. Zelda’s love for Link could be explained by her dragon instinct. - After exploring the geoglyphs, the Japanese version of the mission log shows that Link learned of Zelda becoming the Light Dragon (or white Dragon in Japanese) all to entrust the Master Sword to him, and he must live up to her feelings, no matter what; "なんとしてもゼルダ姫の想いに応えなければ" or "(I) have to live up to/must respond to Princess Zelda's feelings" -Zelda’s dragonification is reversed when Rauru’s light power and Sonia’s time power channeling through Link. The reason why it happened was because they required Link’s stronger motives. And we have seen that before in BOTW where Zelda’s motives to save Link triggered her Light powers. It was love. - The entire goal of the game from the start isn't even "Kill Ganondorf". Rather it's "Find Princess Zelda" proves how personal this is for Link, and that is only completed by Link catching the real Zelda. - Link held on to her tightly as they landed on a lake. Upon being woken after being asleep for hundreds of thousands of years, Zelda can describe it as “a warm, loving embrace”. - When Zelda said “ Link ,I’m home”, I believe it is not just she really returned to the Hyrule she belongs to. But Link is her home. In Japanese however, Zelda said this: "ただいま... リンク" (pronounced as I'm home Link). These words depict that is either someone close to family or a person you shared space with (aka lover). This hints that Link and Zelda are indeed lovers. - Mineru Theorized that reversing Zelda’s Draconification requires Sonia’s Time power and Rauru’s Light Power to be channeled through Link’s arm; but activating magic is also in need of strong motive. That is when Zelda smiles at her knight knowing how much his princess means to him. - In comparing the two secret endings, Link runs up to Zelda in Breath of the Wild while he walks proudly as he is showing his composure among his friends approaching Zelda. While she has shown a lot of love and care for the people of Hyrule, Princess Zelda’s true love is for Link and only the player can see the two of them in love. Going over the evidences I pointed out in this analysis, this proves the romances between Link and Zelda are there in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Mojo I have something you missed with Poe souls. On top of the area where you construct mineru there are 4 grave like rocks much like Sonia’s grave and poe souls by each rock. This might be not only a reference to the 4 sages but this might be their graves. 😊
Good, glad one of these videos finally pointed out the Piper dance being a reference to the Skull Kids from OOT. I also believe the Maestro is doing a more exaggerated version of Link's Wind Waker conducting animation (of course that is probably obvious since both are essentially conducting)
I don't know if it counts as an Easter Egg or just an interesting detail. In each place where a chunk of sky island has been sitting for a while, you can see the ground around it has changed. It is more stone like, even on grassy areas, and has markings like zonai lines. It's like the sky island pieces are infecting the land around them.
I love when they do things like piper dancing like skull kid, no matter how small or meanless they are. it's always enjoyable. fun note that scene from oot with the 2 skull kids and you match the tunes, last time I did that part a few years back I was tripping so hard I sat on that part for what seemed like hours (had to be atleast over 1). funny memories
Eustice may be in relation to the horn he's playing, which I think based on his name is supposed to be a Euphonium. It's a horn that sounds like what he's playing, it just looks a little different. I think that makes more sense for his name since everyone else's name seems to be related to their instruments 😊
You're correct. His Japanese name is ユーフォラ (Yūfora) which is more clearly from ユーフォニアム (Yūfoniamu, "euphonium"). Pretty much every character in the game have puns in their names but many only work in Japanese.
Whoa, that last one is really cool! I always wondered if they just pulled letters out of a hat or something to name the shrines. I had no idea there was real-world significance.
Unfortunately, the "bloody walls" in the Kakariko Village Well seems to just be a myth caused by improperly seeing things in the dim light. Shining a bright light inside the well reveals it to be normal red-accented walls with green moss splotches over it, not mossy walls with red blood splotches. Similar red accents can be found on other Zonai stonework in Thyphlo Ruins, the labyrinths, etc. Of course, the sharp, narrow corridors and red coloring could still be a subtle reference to the original Kakariko Well anyways.
I would like to see more of Link and Zelda being school teachers in Hateno Children. Sadly though, we may never get to the DLC since Fujibayashi and Aonuma have anoounced it a few days ago.
I found the The legend of the Great Sky Island quest yesterday. I was down on Hyrule west field doing Korok puzzles when I looked up and saw a whitish, blue-green swirl in the sky. I checked the map and saw it was definitely The Great Sky Island and immediately knew it had to be the around the Temple Of Time. When I first saw the waterfalls, I knew you had to use the Zora’s armor to complete it. Such a neat challenge and discovery and it made me find out that a Bubbulfrog is in a Great Sky Island cave!
I kind of feel like TotK both is and is not a sequel to BotW. That is to say I think that when Zelda went back in time, she altered the past in such a way that the events of BotW happened differently in a way we are not exactly privy to. The world is similar, but there are a lot of changes that can't be explained by the passage of time or the industriousness of the people. For instance, on the Akkala Citadel, there are Ruins in TotK that were not there in BotW. Add to that the presence of Caves and tunnels and passages in places where there were other things in BoTW and the disappearance of most of the Shieka technology in favor of much more plentiful and usable Zonai Tech, and you end with an odd sort of half-remembered past.
@@zemocon2868 You can think that if you want. The thing is, without some kind of shift in the events of the past, there is no explanation for the disappearance of things that could not have simply been removed (do you really want to try to claim that the people of hyrule removed the Shieka tower near Zora's domain only to replace it with a Giant skeleton that runs through the vertical space it existed in?) or appearances of things that can't be where they are (There are Ruins on Akala Citadel that were not there before. I don't think the Hylians build Ruins.) For me, it is a simple matter of the same sort of Time Shifting we see happen in Skyward Sword (Defeat the Demon King in the Past and suddenly everyone feels safe to fly down to the surface to help out). Does it explain how events still seemed to go how they did? Maybe not, but it goes a lot further to explain why things are the way they are.
At 10:34 you talk about ascending from the kakariko well to find a single silent princess but the footage you show is Link popping up near the base of Satori Mountain and onto a single blue nightshade flower 🤔🤔 I think someone in editing got confused there.
@18:56 If the Master Sword runs out of energy during the mission...Hoz makes fun of you saying that's not the real Master Sword Etc. Which is a terrible thing to say.
this might be an interesting “secret” that i found out: when you wear majora’s mask/the respective monster mask for that enemy, the sages don’t attack them because they aren’t attacking you. i just found this interesting because i thought the sages always fought the monsters, but not if you have the mask on. that means maybe the sages are actually quite intelligent and know if they aren’t attacking you isn’t worth it lol. and that they don’t have an inherent want to attack the monsters unless they are hostile. but there’s another secret relating to bubbulfrogs and the sages, when the sages see them in caves they take their weapons out and are ready to attack, which is weird because bubbulfrogs aren’t classified as monsters and i didn’t think they were actually hostile; i mean they do shoot bubbles at you but that’s it, you’re the one who’s being hostile by shooting them lmao. so i just found it interesting how the sages (code) see bubbulfrogs an enemy even tho they aren’t inherently hostile, i guess they know you want the bubbulgems too, lmao
9:05 you totally forgot the reaction of the Gerudon here! If you wearing the armor while being in Gerudo Town you are thrown into the jail. And in the Kara Kara Bazaar the Gerudo dealers won’t sell you anything because „there are not dealing with someone of your kind“ And when you come across the craftsmanˋs who have made the yiga clothes, there are impressed that you actually were what they have made 😄
Zonae ore also have a story telling possision in zonae forges with the chimney you can find them all around the forge with one at the top of the chimney you can get to with asend using the parts that sticks out spisificly the one lowest to the ground all this shows that some zonae shoots up the chimney during the forge
You can explore the depths under the unclimbable mountain on the western border of the map. No one is talking about this. Is there anything cool there? I didn’t find anything special but I find it interesting that we can’t explore the surface due to the invisible boundary but we can explore the depths directly below.
Sidon was my guy in botw because I heavily sympathize with his love, admiration and loss of his sister mipha but when I got to the domain in totk and saw her statue had been replaced by one of him and link I was both amused and disappointed. Like how could you Sidon, your love for link surely doesn’t surpass that of your sister lmao then I saw he had created a whole thing for atop the mountain so it was ok then
I don't know if this counts as a secret or just a glitch, but I managed to take down a gloom spawn with like three hits. I was using a star wand (star fragment+magic wand) and dazzle fruit arrows. I used the throw weapon attack spell and after 3 shots it died leaving a dark clump. But when I tried this again on another one, nothing. Anything?
The gloom hands don't die unless you beat the following phantom ganon. At times if you get on a high ground or too far from their locations they vanish and leave the dark clumps but obviously no ganon weapons. It's not a glitch, it's just so you can't cheese them too easily.
things i found out..... if you change thunder helm inside yiga hideout.... they will not attack you....... if you wear yiga outfit to gerudo you go jail
So youre doing secrets but Not what they mean? Lovers Pond does have a story in Breath of the Wild and the story here is the Gurudo and Male Voe died between games in this location.
i feel like i missed a lot of this game because there was no reason to explore the areas. after completing the game there isnt much reason to jump back in.
The shrines were almost certainly placed in-game for gameplay purposes and then compared with locations in Kyoto when naming them. I made the comparison map they're talking about and they don't always line up perfectly but are in the general vicinity.
Ok Its OFFICIAL Link Is A YIGA (Hmm It Would Be Cool If Link Learns The Disguise Trick) Lol I WANNA See Link Fool EVERYONE With The Queen Of Hyrule Trick 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
To add onto the Eyes of the Beholder quest, the eyes are hidden in the exact spots where, in BOTW, there were chests that could only be accessed once you claimed the corresponding ability.
The magnesis shrine at the north of the plateau has an eye underwater where a metal chest used to be.

Piper is a Skull Kid, headcanon accepted.
I saw that too. Also, his face an haircut reminds me of the mask salesman.
Piper is not a skull kid
me to
I hope he's not THE skull kid

It is a direct sequel. The backstory of BotW is mentioned several times and in different ways in TotK. The changes are purely for gameplay reasons.

“koo-koe”? I always pronounce Cuccu as “Coo-Coo” because it’s a bird, as well as the sound it makes as it squawks
I'm just going to say what I'm thinking: anyone else think Violynne is one of the prettiest NPCs in the game?

Piper got lost, and before dying he played one last time, as the skull children watched and learned the flute dance. I call Canon.
this might be an interesting “secret” that i found out:
when you wear majora’s mask/the respective monster mask for that enemy, the sages don’t attack them because they aren’t attacking you. i just found this interesting because i thought the sages always fought the monsters, but not if you have the mask on.
that means maybe the sages are actually quite intelligent and know if they aren’t attacking you isn’t worth it lol. and that they don’t have an inherent want to attack the monsters unless they are hostile.
but there’s another secret relating to bubbulfrogs and the sages, when the sages see them in caves they take their weapons out and are ready to attack, which is weird because bubbulfrogs aren’t classified as monsters and i didn’t think they were actually hostile; i mean they do shoot bubbles at you but that’s it, you’re the one who’s being hostile by shooting them lmao. so i just found it interesting how the sages (code) see bubbulfrogs an enemy even tho they aren’t inherently hostile, i guess they know you want the bubbulgems too, lmao
The Gerudo also react negatively to the Yiga armour
15:15 Wow... That is to really pay attention! Amazing detail!!
I did not know about the shrines and their Kyoto counterparts. That is pretty cool
OH MY GOODNESS I THOUGHT I RECOGNIZED PIPERS DANCE HE'S SKULL KID
Makes me wonder what would happen if u wear Majora's Mask in front of him 😂
Did not know that about minerus mask
2:44 I was expecting Mappin after Nappin
I think eustus is supposed to be a pun of euphonium but it doesn’t really work super well because he’s playing a French horn

Might as well do a top 100 hidden secrets before the next Zelda game comes out
Oh I wish.
9:05 you totally forgot the reaction of the Gerudon here! If you wearing the armor while being in Gerudo Town you are thrown into the jail. And in the Kara Kara Bazaar the Gerudo dealers won’t sell you anything because „there are not dealing with someone of your kind“
And when you come across the craftsmanˋs who have made the yiga clothes, there are impressed that you actually were what they have made 😄
Zonae ore also have a story telling possision in zonae forges with the chimney you can find them all around the forge with one at the top of the chimney you can get to with asend using the parts that sticks out spisificly the one lowest to the ground all this shows that some zonae shoots up the chimney during the forge
Egen i sak Pyper dance and play my thoughts went to the skull kid at once.
Oh how I wish they’d make a new, expanded, version of OoT. 🙏🏻🇸🇪
You can explore the depths under the unclimbable mountain on the western border of the map. No one is talking about this. Is there anything cool there? I didn’t find anything special but I find it interesting that we can’t explore the surface due to the invisible boundary but we can explore the depths directly below.
Silent princess picks up a blue night shade and there’s multiple silent princesses
Did you know the map of lightroots and shrines line up, every ground map shrine has a corresponding lightroot below it in the depths
in botw on the floor in Hyrule castle you will see a ocarina of time reference
11:22 i love good old slave labor
how did no one know you could put construct horns in dispensers, or about the great sky island quest
Eustace plays a horn like a euphonium. That’s the pun, not Saint Eustace.
12:03 what paraglider is that?
Sidon was my guy in botw because I heavily sympathize with his love, admiration and loss of his sister mipha but when I got to the domain in totk and saw her statue had been replaced by one of him and link I was both amused and disappointed. Like how could you Sidon, your love for link surely doesn’t surpass that of your sister lmao then I saw he had created a whole thing for atop the mountain so it was ok then
If you wear the phantom armor many characters scream and freeze especially the school the dark link set uas same affect
And tingle
3:55 Where R the Loftwings?
7:47 the music in that game is just amazing
I don't know if this counts as a secret or just a glitch, but I managed to take down a gloom spawn with like three hits. I was using a star wand (star fragment+magic wand) and dazzle fruit arrows. I used the throw weapon attack spell and after 3 shots it died leaving a dark clump. But when I tried this again on another one, nothing. Anything?
The gloom hands don't die unless you beat the following phantom ganon. At times if you get on a high ground or too far from their locations they vanish and leave the dark clumps but obviously no ganon weapons. It's not a glitch, it's just so you can't cheese them too easily.
I actually just finished every single shrine and lightroot just a few days ago.
I really think that they should've connected the great fairies to the depths, but I checked, they didn't, sadly.
Is the great sky island also skyloft????
bro just looted lady's grave 💀
things i found out..... if you change thunder helm inside yiga hideout.... they will not attack you....... if you wear yiga outfit to gerudo you go jail
Or Eustace for euphonium?
Does the Zonia armor effect Mineru
9:40
What type of psychopaths ARE you people?!
Why does the guy playing the Horn have his whole hand shoved in the hole of the Horn?
So youre doing secrets but Not what they mean?
Lovers Pond does have a story in Breath of the Wild and the story here is the Gurudo and Male Voe died between games in this location.
So what's the order of the geoglyphs please?
also eustice is playing an old style euphonium
it's actually a natural horn! which is (i believe) a precursor to the more modern (french) horn :)
i feel like i missed a lot of this game because there was no reason to explore the areas. after completing the game there isnt much reason to jump back in.
19:30 I wouldn't be surprised if that's because it was easier than trying to manually thinking of names and placements lol
The shrines were almost certainly placed in-game for gameplay purposes and then compared with locations in Kyoto when naming them. I made the comparison map they're talking about and they don't always line up perfectly but are in the general vicinity.
I would've thought it was Eustus for euphonium
Here in the first hour gang. Someone tell me when they write a 'Piper the skull kid' fanfiction.
Just finished the eight heroine quest and was suprised its not a "she" but its Link
If you keep having to lure then why did you put it on the wall?
What about the korok in the great deku trees mouth. Or the korok on top of the great deku tree
Why the give that man that name “Addison”😭😭
What is the secret with nappin and atmus? You didn’t finish what you are saying…
Nappin is sleppin and atmus is atlas which is map
Ok Its OFFICIAL Link Is A YIGA (Hmm It Would Be Cool If Link Learns The Disguise Trick) Lol I WANNA See Link Fool EVERYONE With The Queen Of Hyrule Trick 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think gamespot may gave stole your video
Tbh I always figured Addison's name was a pun on something like "add this on"
3:44
(Adult timeline)
*Skull Kid*
Is this what happens to kids who wander into the forest? It looks like he doesn't like grownups.
Why
Eustace is playing a euphonium
nope- that's a natural horn! it's like an older version of a french horn
Yo man you need to make a manhunt 2 and the warriors 😱🤔🤔🤔🤔😱
You have a terrible sense of fashion looking at Link's gear in this video
6:33 My dad took pictures here.
Eustace. Euphonium.
It's a euphonium.
it's actually a natural horn
@@RtsShrtFrRtthw Ah, I stand corrected. A euphonium isn't what I thought it was.
When you dress in Yiga clan clothes in gerudo town, they will send you to jail.
secrets aka just parts of exploring the game
I got the “call from the depths” quest purely because I wanted to see how far up the great plateau I could ride with my horse lol.
