"Master Sword runs out of energy"
Fi: *"Ight imma head out"*
“5 more minutes”
Fi: I'm tired of yo shit link, get gud again and I might stick around for a bit longer.
Fi:AND STOP USING ME ON SMALL BLUE CHUCHU JELLYS >:(
Fi: BRB imma get some Choccy Milk and be back in a minute
More like
Fi: I must go, my planet needs me.
Master Sword: * runs out of energy and peaces out to Korok Forest *

aaaAaAAAaAaaaA
Me: Rages quit 😒😡🤬
Master sword disappears, Link- “hyuh?”
*Sword vanishes as he prepares a final swing on a Lynel *
Link: Well excuuuuuuuuse me, Sword, but I-
Can we all agree it’s best we don’t have to go back to the Korok Forest each time the Master Sword runs out of energy in BotW
I duno. If that ment there was no timelimit and you could just go get it back as soon as it broke i would have prefered that i think.
I believe the sword would’ve lasted much longer than it does in game currently if that was the mechanic. If that’s true, I would’ve much preferred that.
I do wish we had the option to put it back if we wanted though.
Late in my playthrough I found that it was too easy to fight with all the high level drops, so to shake things up I limited myself to no fast travel while exploring and only using knight level weaponry and lower. Unfortunately the Master Sword was always there, so in a pinch I'm always tempted to use it.
Probably should have just started a new file, tbh.
Yes
@@KorriTimigan The time limit feels too lenient; should’ve been like 30 minutes.
Those Gorons are clearly coming together to form into GORTRON, DEFENDER OF HYRULE.
That's hilarious
Also, always wanted to see biggeron fight. I mean, seems like he could handle himself
Underrated comment
YEAHHHHH
Reminds me of what the Talus's became in BoTW.
Go go Goron rangers!

@@christopherr8441 duh
Zeltik: you could make a religion out of this
Everybody: no don’t
On second thought, yes.
HELL YEAH, now we got BUSINESS
Bro I swear I've done the Master Sword returned to the forest glitch. I was just fighting some guy and I threw the sword somehow.
Then I got the message after the fight was over. It tripped me out lol
Glitch?
Nvm just watched the vid lmao
dope
I swear if the master sword broke and you had to keep going back to korok forest to get it each time, id never use it
@@MegaVirus700 put down a medallion
I feel like the master sword returning to the forest is more likely a fail-safe left in, similar to the blood moon triggering at weird times because there's a spawning glitch that occurred. It exists just to idiot-proof the game.
I think that's true as far as its implementation in the final game (I actually wonder what would happen if you forced the game to let you drop the actual Master Sword, and not a duplicated one), but the fancy animation to me suggests that they had something else planned.
My guess is that the Master Sword once was able to be dropped, and under circumstances where any other item would despawn it would just fly back to the Korok Forest. The animation seems like it was designed to be easily visible from a distance to me, and as is it would be rather jarring to see in the middle of an attack ("did my sword just fly out of my hand?") so I don't think it was for when it broke.
Yup it has shown itself many times when you take the master sword with the easy early mastersword glitch and basically breaking it for the recharge and the game not realizing it (happened to me but I just saved scummed out of it lol)
so i guess you could say that’s a...skyward sword
*badum-tsss!*
ha ha
Link: Hold on it can FLY NOW???!!!
Ahaaaaaa
Take my like and never return
Maybe the Goron Golem was meant to be something like the Cucco Revenge Squad. You mess with the Gorons often enough, and then they go Devastator and beat the crap out of you. But it was probably going to be some kind of surprise boss.
I love that idea as really trolly joke!
"Cucco Revenge Squad". I like that😂. That gang is FOWL...heh? Get it? See what I done there?!?
@@travisradden5264 ducktales reference or?
@@AcidArrestB Not intentionally no. I just think I'm punny lol

I wasn’t expecting the master sword to just pick up and float away, it was kind of amusing

"Screw you guys, I'm going home."
Thanks for the spoiler!
@@historiadelaciencia6860 why are you watching the comments if you haven’t watched the video? Your bound to get spoilers.
Idk why i'm just imagining Link holding onto the sword as it's going back to the forest, and then he just flies and spin all the way to the forest with it
LOL
I so badly want someone to animate that happening lol. XD

Petition for this to appear in the inevitable *Something About Twilight Princess.*
"For whatever reason, this ability was cut late into development" You realize just how OP the beam is in Majora's Mask? lol
Zell
OP in this case is an understatement.
Because it was a feature of the intentionally OP Fierce Deity mask lol. It would have been weaker as a normal ability
@@joshuawatson9469 To me, it seems like you’d normally get a sword beam a sixth as powerful without the Fierce Deity mask, however if the Great Spin Attack were available, you’d get a sword beam one quarter the power of the sword beams that you get using the Fierce Deity mask.
“The master sword returned to the forest”.

I would love to be able to play Minish Cap on the Switch.

@@KingK1421 rather than asking who i suggest you say why
You can play on emulator and if you want handhelt you can emulate on handy
It's not an unused asset in a game, but seeing the concept arts for what almost became Twilight Princess 2 is painful.
i wish here was a TP 2
TP is one of my favorite Zelda games.
I’m still kinda salty that Miyamoto forced Twilight Princess 2 into Link’s Crossbow Training due to him hating the idea of video games having a somewhat deep storyline.
Zellik has the perfect voice for Zelda related content.
facts
I know, right? And he's a cutie.
He really does though!!
That is so true
Thanks for whoooaatching
I think that originally the Master Sword in BotW had a limited amount of energy, and if the player kept using it even in its depleted state, the game would “penalize” the player by making them go and retrieve it again.
i think it was just to idiot proof the game. Nintendo has done a lot of stupid things and made a lot of stupid features but thats beyond them
Now that would make for a solid "challenge mode" mod.
(Ab)use the Master Sword too much, then it leaves and you have to go all the way to the forest to get it back again.
"The Master Sword has returned to the forest" feels similar to how we have to return to particular towns to reforge any of the Champion weapons if they break. Comparatively though, retrieving the Master Sword probably wouldn't cost rupees and gems like repairing a Champion weapon, just time and patience.
jesus, the LTTP intro gave me shivers... been a while since i've heard it lol
Right! First Zelda I ever played as a kid 🙏 the best imo ❤
Same reaction here. Never gets old. Takes me right back to my childhood and that sense of medieval adventure. So, so good.
There's just something about the synth libraries used for that game that was just right. The instruments were just so full-sounding. Heck, everything was just right in that game. The spritework and dungeons were amazing.
Always gives me that feeling. Such a great game and amazing childhood memories
I played it on emulator a month a go or so, but hearing it makes me feel happy xd
I bloody love Zelda. Great video as always.
_Ok._
SIMP
He means the series
Same
Did u see the sequel trailer...ho-lee CRAP
Anytime zeltik uploads, my brain just immediately releases dopamine
That’s the sign of a top quality TH-cam channel
Same. Not even exaggerating, I get more stoked when I see Zeltik videos more than any other channel.
I always stumble upon these zeltik videos after I smoke kush. Something about the Zelda franchise really trips me out. Has a certain feel no other games have
"The Master Sword has returned to the Forest."
I just realized the master sword shooting into the air reminds me of when Fi went flying into the air when you got to Nayru's flame.
Zeltik: Which might not have ended well for the deity.
*plays hospital ad*
I got a fucking Bubly ad
Insurance ad for me
i got a banking ad
I got pillow cube
Yeah, I ran across the link head glitch randomly without trying to do it. My favourite is when he eats food as a floating head!
Breath of the Wild was my first Zelda game (outside of playing bit of OoT at a friend's house growing up), and it is possibly my favorite game of all time. However, I hope that there is another, more traditional, 3D Zelda game that comes out soon- even if its only a side project.
Or at the very least port Twilight and Wind Waker HD, I mean come on.
next year is zeldas 35th anniversary so its likely at the very least the wii u ports will come to the switch
@@redlink8840 I sure hope so.
My 1st to
@@mitwhitgaming7722 have you played a traditional zelda yet? other than the oot bit
@@redlink8840 I am currently playing both Oot and A Link Between worlds on 3DS, and I have been meaning to pick up Majora's Mask 3D as well.
Master Sword: My people needs me.
You've got to admire this man's inventiveness and creativity in sprouting up ideas for new video's! Keep 'em coming dude!
Ya some channels would just be like "this thing exists" and leave it at that, Zeltik at least tries to think up a logical reason for what it could have been
One thing I haven't heard anyone mention before is that OoT's credits theme (or rather, a shortened version) is already in Minish Cap (as the enemies across Hyrule are clearing up, post Vaati fight). I've always thought that the Lost Woods theme found in the files was simply originally going to be incorporated into the rest of that credit theme. Why it's a seperate file entirely I'm not sure in the slightest though. Anyway, great video, man!
The beginning part of Zeldas Lullaby bit from OoT’s credits is also in Minish Cap as the beginning of this game’s version of Zelda’s Theme, which to my knowledge they haven’t used anywhere else in any other games. Perhaps they made a few covers of OoT songs using Minish Caps music engine early in development just for placeholders, but kept a few in the final product in the end?
3:56 GORONS! It's time to form Goron-Tron!!!!
"And I'll form the head!"
Go go Gordon rangers!
Jabun's cut content probably hits the hardest for me, personally. . . The potential there is just so good.
i was just binging all of your small reference videos again today!
That last one looks so cool! Didn’t know that one. Also could you do a theory on the Angular Isles in Wind Waker. In the figurine gallery at Forest Haven, the figurine for the great fairies says they were born on Angular Isles and it just seems really random. (Those scuba diver guys were apparently also born there)
3:57 I'm naming that Gorhala. It reminds me too much of Jalhala.
“The Master Sword has returned to the forest“ exactly what my brain does trying to process 2020
One time I turned Link into a mask, and then a body without a back to the head. It was really weird and hilarious, so I took a screenshot of it.
It was yesterday.
Sometimes i think how much unused content was reused in the sequel or another game of the same "type"...
From what i know that happens quite often. Usually when they have a good idea they want to use but can't for whatever reason, they eventually return to it.
this is the zelda hype month, I see a notification with loz in it, I CLICK IT
I don't how Zeltik consistently blows my mind with Zelda easter eggs and glitches that I have never seen or heard of before
Kudos sir
I have recently been self isolating and I'm glad your still making videos. They make my days so much better
6:11 That sound is sped up after collecting the treasure of the Ghostship.
Have to tell this: i am sitting on the Toilet and the Niagara Falls are spilling out my backdoor its burning like hell and if theres a God he will stop it soon
Good luck soldier
The best of luck to you :/
Did God stop ur crucible yet
Lol zeltik was like good luck Mah Boi
Good luck you are the true chosen one
If I did have to go back to the forest every time the master sword broke, I would just never use it
I just want to say your videos are always A++ quality. The editing, background music, and your facts are always so good. Thank you for putting so much thought and creating connections within these stories - it helps makes this already loveable franchise even more enjoyable.
Imagine if the master sword didn’t run out of power but returned to the forest
Hope none of the Koroks there happened to be standing in the way when it dropped out of the sky into its pedestal. XD
Goron Golem: I think its an enemy that uses the gorons model as a placeholder and since the idea got scrapped early on no further resources went into actually making the small monsters that form the golem, and the golem stayed the way we see it now in the files.
If you had to retrieve the Master Sword everytime it broke Link might as well live in Korok Forest
Love it when my boy Zeltik drops a new vid
Keep up the good work bro
Stay safe
I wonder if the Master Sword animation was originally intended for when you get shocked and would normally drop your weapon. This would keep you from losing it or an enemy picking it up to use against you. The fact that dropping electrically charged bows might be related. Although I can't remember what happens now if you're shocked while holding it; you don't let go?
I've never been on the Early Squad before!!!
Imagine if Trial of the Sword turned it into the Golden Sword
I LOVE that the beam takes no durability while glowy.
I love the Minish Cap notes. The Minish Cap was such a good game, music and all. It is so cool to hear more of it.
8:30 Pretty sure it isn't rusted but actually that "Rust" is Malice.
All rust and degradation is because of malice. Malice seeping into everything is why everything suddenly starts breaking down like they are made of cardboard.
Lets be honest, if they added the whole master sword returning to the forest into the final version of the game no one would touch breath of the wild no matter how pretty it looks
I remember a post-release advertisement for OoT in Nintendo Power that mentioned a sword beam, and I was super confused on why I couldn't get it to work.
The second Jaboon "scream" actually reminds me of the Zelda 1 whistle tune.
Alttp(A Link to the past) has canon soldiers.
Agahnim: "you're fired".
I was just watching one of your older videos about Zelda Final Bosses. I have a question. Which villain in Zelda is the worst, and which is the best? What do you think? Who are the worst villains in the series, and who are true foes for the hero and princess?
I think he made videos on the top something worst/ best bosses.
That master sword glitch is one of my favourite hidden things in Zelda history, i absolutely love how this is still in game!
Always loved your channel and videos. Thanks for making awesome stuff! Keep on keepin on.
A man of culture I see.
TWIGHLIGHT PRINCESS FOREVER ❤️❤️
Zeltik never fails to impress.
just some food for thought. the shika monks can change the inside of shrines at will, I know this because in the perfect drink shrine quest there is a gerudo collapsed on a shrine and they will only move if you get them a noble pursuit so you have to carry a ice block back to gerudo town to make the drink and so the shrine is a blessing but there is no way that 10,000 years ago the shikas could have known that would happen and made it a blessing so they must have changed based on the circumstance and this also means the monks are fully aware of what is happening outside there shrines. Also i don't know if other people have already said this and if so im sorry i didn't know
Cool idea!
Maybe the screaming sound clip and the ruined island are connected. Like after you get both the earth and the fire pearls, you go to that ruined island but it isn’t ruined yet. You complete the dungeon but as you go to get the water pearl, ganon destroys the island and attacks the water spirit after which you get an animation of him swimming away. So you then have to travel to where the water spirit is now and he laughs in surprised happiness because he thought you died. Then he gives you the water pearl.
I’m pretty sure the Jaboon sound effects were played and explained in almost the same way in another Zeltik video. It’s kinda lame that this took away a spot on the list.
Don’t you guys love it when a video has 3 views, 10 comments and 4 likes
At this point I’d be more concerned if it didn’t
your videos are really entertaining to watch keep it up man :D
Even when I'm playing a non-Zelda game, listening to your vids gives me the chance to mull over ideas and try new things with the classic titles that I've played a million times. Love your dedication and enthusiasm, huge fan!

Oh yes
When a video explaining what the time travel of the mini egg guardian did how it affect the history of breath of the wild?
After the game releases? We literally have no idea what the mini egg guardian did yet. The game won't release untill next week
Jabun's Scream Sound was played in the Wind Waker, a sped of version of it plays after Link opens a chest in a ship. He jumps and looks around, can't find a clip of it, but you might remember it.
In addition, Jabun was confirmed to have a dungeon, along with two others (Ice Cavern and Fire Mountain I presume) but they were cut not due to time constraints, but due to disk space on the GameCube disks. With the end cutscene taking up over HALF the game's space.
This was a really cool video, Zeltik. I literally gasped when the Golem appeared or the Master Sword flew up into the sky. So cool!
Just yesterday i was thinking " man, i need a new Zeltik video". Thanks man 😎
Oh wow that goron golem is reminding me a lot of the zonai construct
Master Sword: *runs out of energy*
Link: *pours a Red Bull on it*
great video as always! love the content :)
Phenomenal thumbnail! Keep up the good work!
Goron Golem looks like an early idea for a Stone Talus. Also, I wouldn't have minded being forced to return to the woods ONCE...after that having to wait would become the game mechanic, understanding that the sword moves back into your inventory after recharging in the forest.
Loving your channel, Zeltik!
Having enjoyed "most" of Wind Waker all except the Triforce Hunt at the end.
Its amazing how years later you realize just how much cut content regarding Nayru's Pearl, the Elemental Arrows and the two Elemental Islands there actually was.
Same thing with Mario Sunshine feeling rather lazy in its level design
i wish the "master sword going back to the korok forest" animation was still used and the sword actually going to the forest but instead of the master sword dying every 5 minutes give it the same durability as the hylian shield or maybe even just half to make up for the permanent power up form the trial of the sword
Zeltik
You are my favorite Zelda TH-camr
I love your theories
Been awhile since I watched you, good to be back
That unused music in minish cap is honestly a banger
1st time I´m watching one of your videos, but I love Zelda, you got my subscription
I would've loved to see the master sword returning to the forest animation in the game, but maybe they could've changed the mechanic, making it so the sword returns on a similar way (flying to link)
I have never watched one of your videos before it had at least 5,000 views already
Honestly, the glitch that let's you drop the Master Sword for that hidden animation is awesome, in more than just letting you see something you don't see during normal gameplay. It allows you to duplicate weapons, transform them, and transfer durability between your weapons. The last one being very great. Like say if you want to have the Royal Guard weapons (like the Claymore one, as it's 116 atk from bonus is the highest in the game), but instead of durability of a wet paper, it has the durability like the Savage Lynel gear. Or even better, durability of Spring Loaded Hammer that is 80 (highest in base game, no amiibo needed), or Biggoron Sword with durability up bonus that makes it 111.
Loved the video!
I like the Minish Woods theme we actually got better than that unused Lost Woods remix... or even the Lost Woods theme in general, honestly.
I believe the Goron Golem was a test for a Jalhalla-like boss made out of smaller enemies that arrange into a bigger one. The Gorons were used a placeholder model before the final design.
Favorite videos on TH-cam, man I wish u get more subs
More unused/beta content! Good stuff
Love that lesser known Minish music you use
i wish i could datamine games and find this stuff, I love all this lost/unused content.
that unused lost woods one was so unexpected I never would of expected that song being unused in any Zelda game
Fine research on the Beam Blade! You hit upon most aspects of it's history and attempted restorations.
