I'm the strange person who actually would've liked the health scanner, though I feel that, with that, upgrades should've been available that allowed you to swap it between modes-- not unlike swapping the scanner from shrines to maybe enemies-- and allow a mode where, rather than seeing health, it would show a radial bar as to how far your current sound would travel, and the vision cone of enemies.
@@TheBreadPirate Yeah. Perhaps the full stealth armor, rather than having a night speed up set bonus, would allow you to see the pathing of non-stationary enemies. Then you'd have stealth as a fully interactive choice against most enemies... Maybe someone should turn these ideas into mods, as I am not fit to do so.
@@argonhammer9352 Huh? That would be like reading instructions! I suppose you're one of those people who, when assembling Ikea furniture, gets it right the first time!
@Paul Beardsley actually, sometimes the descriptions have little fun back stories and details on the armor pieces. Am example, whenever you get the twilight princess set, each says a specific trait from a wolf (smell, fur, etc.) that lingered on the armor piece to reference wolf link.

“Incredibly lengthly” all you have to do is talk to Impa and then warp back to the Magnet shrine and look at the one memory right off the Plateau, then warp back to Kakariko and talk to her. That takes like 20 minutes tops once you get off the Plateau
No. Once Impa tells you about divine beasts. You have to visit Hateno Village and do Purah's flame quest. Then return to Impa, then one memory and again talk to Impa.
I learned that the hard way. My first playthrough I did all the memories before I got the tunic. My second playthrough I did just one memory and got the tunic. The tunic is so helpful for tracking opponent health. It is also in the promotional images for Breath of the Wild. I usually wear a combo of the blue tunic with regular hylean pants. I don't wear a hat. That is a cool look for Link. I only switch out if I am in extreme temperatures or if I am fighting special kinds of enemies.

The eagle vision in the new Assassin's Creed seems like a good system IMO. I haven't played the games, but if stealth is a central mechanic to the game, there should be a focus on scouting out the enemy positions and planning your infiltration. This mechanic obviously isn't what you'd want for a non-stealth RPG like Zelda, but then again, almost none of the new mechanics in BotW belong in a Zelda game either.

Well, that's because it was a removed mechanic. 😅 It only existed in the E3 2016 Version of the game. Then it was replaced with the Champion's Tunic. Fun fact! The Champion's Tunic was called The Champion's Shirt during E3 2016. 😃
@@TheBreadPirate really? That’s insane. I’m surprised because I usually follow the Nintendo news on new features on my phone and my switch. Did you know that the champions tunic is the strongest piece of armor in the game?

scan it and take a photo to always see the health of a particular enemy! It would be a cool thing to add, where if you do it to every enemy, then calamity and dark beast (dark beast could just show sheikah for error?) ganon then you would get a cutscene with purah and robbie and their assistants
I totally remember being surprised not to have this in the game proper! I thought it was way cool and would’ve been nice to have especially early on when I didn’t know what types of monsters had what hit points
I loved the video--quite concise and informative! I also thought of another potential reason this health sensor ability was moved rather than taken out of the game entirely: it helps keep the Champion's Tunic relevant in a game filled to bursting with various stat-boosting outfits.

I would honestly like this mechanic to return in Breath of the Wild 2 in some way tbh. Maybe improved upon a bit but I like the idea of being able to use the slate to scan an enemy and learn how to approach them. Keeping it optional is probably for the best but maybe they could inform you about your enemies line of sight and their immediate scouting route (like an arrow pointing where they’re going to go on the ground).
It’s kinda like the ability Tattle in The Thousand Year Door, where you can use it to find the exact hit points of enemies at the cost of a turn. That function also gets replaced by an endgame item much like the Champion’s Tunic would have here.
In an RPG that makes a lot of sense! Paper Mario 64 was the same (sort of) with the Goomba companion. Although I think he was just there to give advice, not to share hitpoints.
End... game... item? You could get the Peekaboo Badge almost at the very start of the game. The trade off is badges were much more powerful and scanning an enemy once always told it. It isn't really ever replaced as in long boss fights that extra BP will keep you alive or give you an edge... but since you're not needing to manage exact damage in boss fights this can be completely ignored there.

1:16 they also removed the horse AI. They were supposed to be smart enough that you could ride without having to worry about falling off a cliff or running into a tree. I believe someone said something to the effect of, "horses don't tend to be suicidal..." This was probably removed before the demo...
@@darkidesigns6810 when they first talked about the horse AI (Game Awards 2014, IIR) it was supposed to be more than just path following. So, yeah, I was mostly joking about the suicidal horse quote but I do remember them saying the horses would have behaviors that keep them from getting hung up on trees, small rocks, and that if you aimed a horse straight at a rock wall it would turn well before it would need to rear up because even well trained horses tend not to want to walk into solid objects.
@@TheBreadPirate I sometimes wonder if Malanya (horse fairy) was created after they decided that path following was a complicated enough horse behavior...
Another reason is They probably removed it because they wanted the champions tunic to exist and for there to be a little more point in its existence other than having good defense, and making it worth it to follow the impa memory quest line Edit: also the tunic tends to make it easier to see where enemies are, their health bars seem to appear from farther away
The completionist mindset is absolutely a great point. Sure, this red bokoblin has 13 hit points, but who's to say these other two red bokoblins _also_ have 13 hit points? And the next encounter, will they all have 13 hit points again? Obviously yes, but when you're in a must scout all the things mentality it can be a bit hard to break the habit. Moving the sensor to the champion's tunic was for the best.
Now not to start anything but Here’s a part I found hilarious don’t think too much about it’s just the voice and please don’t cancel me for this I was just doing this for joking reasons 3:05
You're not the first person to point that out! When I was editing the video, I decided to leave the voice crack in so that it's clear that I'm not perfect.
I feel like a better way they could have done it would have been if you've scanned the enemy for the compendium, then you'll see the health when you zoom in on them. That way you're not doing it every time for enemies you've seen hundreds of times
This guy: Taking care not to trip enemy alarms, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and equipping the best tools for the job. Me, wearing a full barbarian set, charging in like a madman: Hur hur, giant boomerang go VROOOOOOOOM
It would of been useful if you scanned like a single red bokoblin and now you automatically see the hp of every red bokokoblin you came across, or if monster's of the same variation could have different health values, like you see 2 silver ones and the second one had 20% more hp.
i remember that they confirmed that there were several sheikah slate mechanics that were scrapped because they would only work in the wii U version but not the Switch version, be it because of processing power or different console design (the gamepad vs joycons ect). one i remember is a drone rune where you used the gamepad to move the drone around and watch it's feed on the gamepad's screen
I kind of want to vouch for the whole controlling a separate bird from you to scout out areas because I LOVED the owl in far cry primal. Maybe it was different because you could attack with the owl, send down certain bombs or even send your beast to go attack the enemies the owl was looking at, So you could get a head start on knocking out the enemies without alerting them to your actual position. I'd also use it to scout hundreds of feet in front of me, Huge entire encampments, And the nearby enemy sensor you mentioned in assassins creed wouldn't work for that. It's kind of interesting you could never really say a certain mechanic is bad or good because there's probably at least one person who likes it. But also you've mentioned time stopping and in far cry primal while you were using owl it was mostly normal time until you click button that was like hunter view or something and that slowed down time. So maybe it was just implemented better?
Tbh it would be a hassle to look at enemies through the shiekah slate to see their health especially if it disappears after 😌 but that is still a pretty cool feature (if using on further targets that doesn't reach with the tunis then that would be most useful) Also I liked the motion controls in Skyward Sword as well! I don't understand why so many dislike it ;-;
I remember one more thing that changed between the e3 demo and the final game. When the first spiked boko bow was first picked up, a tutorial popped up telling you how to use it as a Melee weapon.
Something that I am really hoping for in breath of the wild 2 Is an item, more than likely an article of clothing, maybe a whole set if the game developers want to be difficult. That allows one teeny tiny little ability. ... ... ... The ability to climb in the RAIN!
I honestly hadn’t considered how annoying the motion controls would be with this feature. I just forgot the scope had motion controls at all, I just have them turned off becuase they are _so annoying_
This reminds me a lot of the scan mechanic in Metroid. It would've been so much more interesting if this was the way to obtain enemy data for the Compendium. Say, you see a Moblin somewhere and think that's new and looks tough, let's scan it. And bam, you get to know everything about a Moblin. This feature had much potential. It could've shown not just HP but also Attack power too. Yeah, it's still janky but I think with less scaning time it could've been really fun. And not just for enemies but for all the entries in the compendium as well. Including something like the gems and stuff.
@@RetroJack Not that I remember. I just remember the month leading up to the release (or the month following?) a Yt channel called Commonwealth Realm did a giveaway for the statue and the game.
glad the algorithm got your vid to me. very well written and edited video. love the VO sounds like PeanutButterGamer or Barry Kramer. I look forward to more from your and the team in the future.
I mean, ignoring the janky controls you CAN turn off the motion controls. It's the first thing I did because arrows were so hard to shoot. So if they did that I imagine it wouldn't have been as bad, a more annoying factor would have been targeting enemies that are coming towards you and needing to switch between the slate and a weapon.
Domething i dont think anyone knows about is if you go into a shrine before a blood moon happens, then leave after 12:10, the blood moon doesnt happen, and delays it until the next day, in which you can do it again!
Wow, i didn’t even know that the champions tunic detected enemies health, I wear it all the time and thought that detecting enemies healths was just in the game
This is why my default build for armor is the trousers, hood, and champion’s tunic! Looks like the memories AND it helps me fight. I didn’t know the scope history of that ability, though! That’s cool!
Blaming motion control though is pointless seeing you can turn it off. I have mine set to off. Though. Having it on the champions tunic is better. At the same time. It would be nice to have both, for those who don't always want to use the tunic. Using the sensor with motion control off would be super easy.
I believe the sensor could very easily work if you extend the hitbox the second it shines on an enemy, like with the bat if you just follow its general direction it should tell you the health, then if you do it enough times it should tell you the health of every single enemy of that type permanently. So like with bokoblins you need to do it 10 times, with moblins only 5, with bats 10, hinoxes only 2 or 3, and same as hinox for any other mini-boss, with the actual boss enemies only needing to do it once. I think it would've been cool to have a way to reveal all the enemies health, but I also think it would've been cool to have the other clothing effects naturally too some way, maybe through a perk system or some kind of additional challenge like "Kill 5 of X type enemy" to unlock those effects permanently. Like imagine getting to permanently have the faster climbing, it would be so cool and give the game another avenue to progression that is seriously lacking in it. But they'd probably sooner shoot Miyamoto than add progression features into the game.
The best games that do this give you some added value as a result. Even Assassin’s Creed is at least letting you tag enemies to keep track of them (though it is weird that they actively made it worse). Games like Ghost Recon that allow you to scope and tag with a drone, and then have everyone coordinate fire, or Watch Dogs letting you hack stuff with a drone (wait, are these all Ubisoft?) all do something more than “stop and look”
Video came up in my recommendations, decided to watch, dont regret it. I'm enjoying your content now and love the format of your vids, subbed. Keep up the great work! 😁👍
I honestly think if it was too janky and motion controls moved too much, they could make it lock on the the enemy ( or anything ) Not too much, just lock on simply and if they go behind a tree the timer will just pause
this is so cool to learn! it was a great idea and implementing it makes total sense, but i'm VERY glad it was cut. i'm not a fan of motion controls, and this would have drove me nuts! now i wear the tunic enough that i have most enemy hp memorized, or at least a general idea of their difficulty. and i think bomb arrows were what taught me how to scout out an area before diving in, actually. getting frustrated by dying over and over, and then seeing arrow go BOOM made the connection clear that sometimes you gotta plan! not sure if that was the dev's intention, but it did the job for my minmaxer brain
Even if the mechanic hadn't been janky, it seems like a waste of time that only serves to psych the player out. Just get in there and find out how many slashes it'll take to kill em by counting your slashes! Also, I appreciate your candor about your earlier hype draft for this script. I get a little weary of the way some content creators like to blow their own horn or bury the lede. For the record, however, this vid would have been worth a modicum of such hype, as it was pretty interesting. That's a Subscribe from me!
i actually didn't know this was a thing o.o i also never realized it was the champion's tunic that made me able to see enemy hit points- i just thiught it showed it sometimes and not others lol nice video! i like your bouncy energy I've never watched u before but i will now!
there is a VERY big difference between the eagle vision ability in ac and the similar sheikah sensor ability. one example, you can scan an entire camp with the eagle vision ability very quickly, unlike the sheikah one. another example is that in ac often you actually need tactics for attacking forts and camps, while in botw its usually just running in the camp and using epic gamer combat to kill all the monsters
My favorite color is a tie between blue and green. It’s why I love the champions tunic so much, it looks great. And the normal pants go great with it, but it’s not like a set or anything, like the other armors, which makes it somewhat unique. Well that and the ability to see hit points, which was also pretty cool. Lore wise I always chalked it up to the shirt being symbolic of Link’s expertise, and since he’s so experienced he already knows his opponent, like that one guy said. “Know your enemy and you fear not the outcome of a thousand battles.” And Link, pre-shrine of resurrection, would have definitely tried to educate himself about his opponents. Anyways, yea. Blue and green is nice.
A similar mechanic exist in mgsv, but there is, we could say, necessary due to being a stealth based game. Also you spot from character perspective, is instant and can be done while moving, enemy are marked on the map forever once spotted and there are at least 4 way to do it automatically (via dog, robot companion, sniper partner or base support). Also, once you played a bunch of mission the spotting becomequite easy to do, due to how patrol and guards work in real life (you are 100% sure to have at least 2 men at the entrance of each village, a man on a guard tower and so on..). So, even if i think that a spotting system like that could work on zelda (and that's the reason they added it in the beta version i think) it would slow the game for no reason, due to it being more like an adventure-action game, rather than a stealth-tactic one
You have literally explained about how I feel about taking pictures of everything to fill out the compendium. Same thing I mean cool and gives an extra thing for you to do but so damn Janky.
Also giving that unique (and helpful) ability to the champion's tunic make it a desirable item you want to wear all the time, making the player to keep the character design as intended probably through the entire game instead of trying to beat Ganon with the Nintendo t-shirt from that chest
another solution would be to have it like Goombella rules in Paper Mario. once you scan an enemy once the health always appears, plus it could add it to the compendium
Hearing about the eagle vision criticism, really makes me want to play with my sister. We work really well together for that kind of coop if one is the assassin and the other the eagle

Salty MilkI only wear it for the cutscenes so I look cool
It’s kinda like the ability Tattle in The Thousand Year Door, where you can use it to find the exact hit points of enemies at the cost of a turn. That function also gets replaced by an endgame item much like the Champion’s Tunic would have here.
In an RPG that makes a lot of sense! Paper Mario 64 was the same (sort of) with the Goomba companion. Although I think he was just there to give advice, not to share hitpoints.
End... game... item? You could get the Peekaboo Badge almost at the very start of the game. The trade off is badges were much more powerful and scanning an enemy once always told it. It isn't really ever replaced as in long boss fights that extra BP will keep you alive or give you an edge... but since you're not needing to manage exact damage in boss fights this can be completely ignored there.

1:16 they also removed the horse AI. They were supposed to be smart enough that you could ride without having to worry about falling off a cliff or running into a tree. I believe someone said something to the effect of, "horses don't tend to be suicidal..."
This was probably removed before the demo...
this wasn't removed. The horse follows paths and won't run over the edge of cliffs. it will stop.
Yah, Shirley is right. Horses still do that stuff. It's not fool proof (you can force a horse off a cliff) but it's super handy.
@@TheBreadPirate yea. you can press (i think) one of the joy con sticks and it will walk pretty weird. but this way it will even fall off cliffs.
@@darkidesigns6810 when they first talked about the horse AI (Game Awards 2014, IIR) it was supposed to be more than just path following. So, yeah, I was mostly joking about the suicidal horse quote but I do remember them saying the horses would have behaviors that keep them from getting hung up on trees, small rocks, and that if you aimed a horse straight at a rock wall it would turn well before it would need to rear up because even well trained horses tend not to want to walk into solid objects.
@@TheBreadPirate I sometimes wonder if Malanya (horse fairy) was created after they decided that path following was a complicated enough horse behavior...
At 3:10, he literally just reinvented racism, but in loz
Another reason is They probably removed it because they wanted the champions tunic to exist and for there to be a little more point in its existence other than having good defense, and making it worth it to follow the impa memory quest line Edit: also the tunic tends to make it easier to see where enemies are, their health bars seem to appear from farther away
The completionist mindset is absolutely a great point. Sure, this red bokoblin has 13 hit points, but who's to say these other two red bokoblins _also_ have 13 hit points? And the next encounter, will they all have 13 hit points again? Obviously yes, but when you're in a must scout all the things mentality it can be a bit hard to break the habit. Moving the sensor to the champion's tunic was for the best.
I don't suffer from the completionism mindset thankfully, but I know some people do! Glad you thought that made sense.
Did you know that BotW enemies have varying levels?
Now not to start anything but
Here’s a part I found hilarious don’t think too much about it’s just the voice and please don’t cancel me for this I was just doing this for joking reasons 3:05
You're not the first person to point that out!
When I was editing the video, I decided to leave the voice crack in so that it's clear that I'm not perfect.
I feel like a better way they could have done it would have been if you've scanned the enemy for the compendium, then you'll see the health when you zoom in on them. That way you're not doing it every time for enemies you've seen hundreds of times

Hur hur, giant boomerang go VROOOOOOOOM
2:01 RIP Twilight Princess
This would be pretty cool tool if they would've gone with a more "stealth possible" style. Like you could tag enemies and see their health
I actually didn’t know any of this appreciate you bro
I appreciate you!
It would of been useful if you scanned like a single red bokoblin and now you automatically see the hp of every red bokokoblin you came across, or if monster's of the same variation could have different health values, like you see 2 silver ones and the second one had 20% more hp.
i remember that they confirmed that there were several sheikah slate mechanics that were scrapped because they would only work in the wii U version but not the Switch version, be it because of processing power or different console design (the gamepad vs joycons ect). one i remember is a drone rune where you used the gamepad to move the drone around and watch it's feed on the gamepad's screen
I kind of want to vouch for the whole controlling a separate bird from you to scout out areas because I LOVED the owl in far cry primal. Maybe it was different because you could attack with the owl, send down certain bombs or even send your beast to go attack the enemies the owl was looking at, So you could get a head start on knocking out the enemies without alerting them to your actual position. I'd also use it to scout hundreds of feet in front of me, Huge entire encampments, And the nearby enemy sensor you mentioned in assassins creed wouldn't work for that. It's kind of interesting you could never really say a certain mechanic is bad or good because there's probably at least one person who likes it. But also you've mentioned time stopping and in far cry primal while you were using owl it was mostly normal time until you click button that was like hunter view or something and that slowed down time. So maybe it was just implemented better?
OMG, I legitimately thought I was going crazy when I saw this in the demo and never again
Ha ha, I as well! Thankfully I won't need to pay for the fees to see a mental specialist.
Tbh it would be a hassle to look at enemies through the shiekah slate to see their health especially if it disappears after 😌 but that is still a pretty cool feature (if using on further targets that doesn't reach with the tunis then that would be most useful)
Also I liked the motion controls in Skyward Sword as well! I don't understand why so many dislike it ;-;
Yah! Skyward Sword wasn't so bad.
MY PET GOLDFISH LOVED THE UNINTENTIONAL SHOUTOUT THANK YOU
I remember one more thing that changed between the e3 demo and the final game. When the first spiked boko bow was first picked up, a tutorial popped up telling you how to use it as a Melee weapon.
Ha ha, that's fantastic!
9k subs in 1 week. You hit the algorithm bro, well done.
Something that I am really hoping for in breath of the wild 2
Is an item, more than likely an article of clothing, maybe a whole set if the game developers want to be difficult. That allows one teeny tiny little ability.

The ability to climb in the RAIN!
If they don't the entire fan base will be mad
Jus dropping a comment to say loved the vid lol.
Aww... thanks Hatena!
I honestly hadn’t considered how annoying the motion controls would be with this feature. I just forgot the scope had motion controls at all, I just have them turned off becuase they are _so annoying_
Hey Just Bread, the best thing about this video is that it's not clickbait. Thanks for entertaining me with this interesting video.
0:40 WAIT WHAT I don’t know about that at all!
This reminds me a lot of the scan mechanic in Metroid. It would've been so much more interesting if this was the way to obtain enemy data for the Compendium.
Say, you see a Moblin somewhere and think that's new and looks tough, let's scan it. And bam, you get to know everything about a Moblin. This feature had much potential. It could've shown not just HP but also Attack power too.
Yeah, it's still janky but I think with less scaning time it could've been really fun. And not just for enemies but for all the entries in the compendium as well. Including something like the gems and stuff.
2:21 I want that statue! 😍
Same
They made versions of it for the limited collector editions and a separate company made and sold larger ones independantly
@@velvetbutterfly Thank you. Do you have further details?
@@RetroJack Not that I remember. I just remember the month leading up to the release (or the month following?) a Yt channel called Commonwealth Realm did a giveaway for the statue and the game.
@@velvetbutterfly Ah yes, I know the channel. Thanks anyway. 🙂
I remember seeing this, I totally thought I imagined it
I did too for a while! I had to research it to find out if I was crazy or not.
Same!
I wish they kept ittttt
I thought my brain refused to remember correctly LMAO
glad the algorithm got your vid to me. very well written and edited video. love the VO sounds like PeanutButterGamer or Barry Kramer. I look forward to more from your and the team in the future.
I mean, ignoring the janky controls you CAN turn off the motion controls. It's the first thing I did because arrows were so hard to shoot.
So if they did that I imagine it wouldn't have been as bad, a more annoying factor would have been targeting enemies that are coming towards you and needing to switch between the slate and a weapon.
True! being able to turn motion controls off will make it managable.
Why did this happened?!? Did I "pirate"
The game!?!?
Who told you I was a pirate! You have no proof.
My name is clear! XD

Not impossible! Anything can happen if you let it. 😄

Domething i dont think anyone knows about is if you go into a shrine before a blood moon happens, then leave after 12:10, the blood moon doesnt happen, and delays it until the next day, in which you can do it again!
how has this guy only got 5k subs? this is awesome!
Thank you!
Wow, i didn’t even know that the champions tunic detected enemies health, I wear it all the time and thought that detecting enemies healths was just in the game
"I like motion controls like skyward sword and wii sports... Wait that's not a Zelda game"
Twilight princess: Am I a joke to you?
This was such a fun watch! Had no idea a feature like that was in the E3 2016 demo! You've got my sub friend. 😎💚
This is why my default build for armor is the trousers, hood, and champion’s tunic! Looks like the memories AND it helps me fight. I didn’t know the scope history of that ability, though! That’s cool!
We not gonna talk about the loftwings in the isle of songs cutscenes?👀
Nope!
Blaming motion control though is pointless seeing you can turn it off. I have mine set to off. Though. Having it on the champions tunic is better. At the same time. It would be nice to have both, for those who don't always want to use the tunic. Using the sensor with motion control off would be super easy.
I believe the sensor could very easily work if you extend the hitbox the second it shines on an enemy, like with the bat if you just follow its general direction it should tell you the health, then if you do it enough times it should tell you the health of every single enemy of that type permanently. So like with bokoblins you need to do it 10 times, with moblins only 5, with bats 10, hinoxes only 2 or 3, and same as hinox for any other mini-boss, with the actual boss enemies only needing to do it once.
I think it would've been cool to have a way to reveal all the enemies health, but I also think it would've been cool to have the other clothing effects naturally too some way, maybe through a perk system or some kind of additional challenge like "Kill 5 of X type enemy" to unlock those effects permanently. Like imagine getting to permanently have the faster climbing, it would be so cool and give the game another avenue to progression that is seriously lacking in it.
But they'd probably sooner shoot Miyamoto than add progression features into the game.
The best games that do this give you some added value as a result. Even Assassin’s Creed is at least letting you tag enemies to keep track of them (though it is weird that they actively made it worse). Games like Ghost Recon that allow you to scope and tag with a drone, and then have everyone coordinate fire, or Watch Dogs letting you hack stuff with a drone (wait, are these all Ubisoft?) all do something more than “stop and look”
Video came up in my recommendations, decided to watch, dont regret it. I'm enjoying your content now and love the format of your vids, subbed. Keep up the great work! 😁👍
Thanks Crimphanto!
Hi “Just Bread” 0:07
I honestly think if it was too janky and motion controls moved too much, they could make it lock on the the enemy ( or anything )
Not too much, just lock on simply and if they go behind a tree the timer will just pause
Your channel is shockingly good for only having 20k subs. I know you’ll make it to 500k, my man. 🙃
this is so cool to learn! it was a great idea and implementing it makes total sense, but i'm VERY glad it was cut. i'm not a fan of motion controls, and this would have drove me nuts! now i wear the tunic enough that i have most enemy hp memorized, or at least a general idea of their difficulty. and i think bomb arrows were what taught me how to scout out an area before diving in, actually. getting frustrated by dying over and over, and then seeing arrow go BOOM made the connection clear that sometimes you gotta plan! not sure if that was the dev's intention, but it did the job for my minmaxer brain
"Only way to see enemy hp bars"
All 5 ancient helms: "am I a joke to you?"
Even if the mechanic hadn't been janky, it seems like a waste of time that only serves to psych the player out. Just get in there and find out how many slashes it'll take to kill em by counting your slashes!
Also, I appreciate your candor about your earlier hype draft for this script. I get a little weary of the way some content creators like to blow their own horn or bury the lede. For the record, however, this vid would have been worth a modicum of such hype, as it was pretty interesting. That's a Subscribe from me!
i actually didn't know this was a thing o.o
i also never realized it was the champion's tunic that made me able to see enemy hit points- i just thiught it showed it sometimes and not others lol
nice video! i like your bouncy energy
I've never watched u before but i will now!
there is a VERY big difference between the eagle vision ability in ac and the similar sheikah sensor ability. one example, you can scan an entire camp with the eagle vision ability very quickly, unlike the sheikah one. another example is that in ac often you actually need tactics for attacking forts and camps, while in botw its usually just running in the camp and using epic gamer combat to kill all the monsters
Welp the meter was reused in totk for the Recall ability.
I remembered this ability. I always wondered what happened to it after e3 2016. Glad I was not the only one :)
My favorite color is a tie between blue and green. It’s why I love the champions tunic so much, it looks great. And the normal pants go great with it, but it’s not like a set or anything, like the other armors, which makes it somewhat unique. Well that and the ability to see hit points, which was also pretty cool. Lore wise I always chalked it up to the shirt being symbolic of Link’s expertise, and since he’s so experienced he already knows his opponent, like that one guy said. “Know your enemy and you fear not the outcome of a thousand battles.” And Link, pre-shrine of resurrection, would have definitely tried to educate himself about his opponents. Anyways, yea. Blue and green is nice.
Skyward sword is one of my favorite zeldas so it's good to finally see someone who liked it
A similar mechanic exist in mgsv, but there is, we could say, necessary due to being a stealth based game.
Also you spot from character perspective, is instant and can be done while moving, enemy are marked on the map forever once spotted and there are at least 4 way to do it automatically (via dog, robot companion, sniper partner or base support).
Also, once you played a bunch of mission the spotting becomequite easy to do, due to how patrol and guards work in real life (you are 100% sure to have at least 2 men at the entrance of each village, a man on a guard tower and so on..).
So, even if i think that a spotting system like that could work on zelda (and that's the reason they added it in the beta version i think) it would slow the game for no reason, due to it being more like an adventure-action game, rather than a stealth-tactic one
You have literally explained about how I feel about taking pictures of everything to fill out the compendium. Same thing I mean cool and gives an extra thing for you to do but so damn Janky.
Also giving that unique (and helpful) ability to the champion's tunic make it a desirable item you want to wear all the time, making the player to keep the character design as intended probably through the entire game instead of trying to beat Ganon with the Nintendo t-shirt from that chest
The way it looked from the thumbnail, I was 100% expecting this to be recall, and it was scrapped from BotW

First video I've watched from you- I am most certainly sticking, matey. YARHAR FOREVER!
another solution would be to have it like Goombella rules in Paper Mario. once you scan an enemy once the health always appears, plus it could add it to the compendium
The motion control is decently functional if you get comfortable using a joy con in each hand
Hearing about the eagle vision criticism, really makes me want to play with my sister. We work really well together for that kind of coop if one is the assassin and the other the eagle
