What other cool bits of info should I include in the 60 minute video?
Make sure to pin your comment!
Kotake and Koume are in the cutscenes with Ganondorf.
Oops, good call. Missed that step somehow, thank you!
Got a bit about them already scripted for the next vid, thanks
Don’t really think this is good enough to put this in but there is a old man in hateno and lurlien village and they share the same model and walking animation
When there is a grave above ground there is a soldier ghost or Poe with a weapon underneath
my favourite EXTREMELY useless fact is that the hearts in the top-left in totk are a slightly less-saturated colour from botw. I don't know why they changed this but it's interesting they did something so small anyway
almost certainly they just decided that the hearts in the first game were too distracting and the colour was too strong, so they put down the saturation to make them blend in more so you can focus on the game better. like you said such a small change most people like myself didn’t notice at all but probably subconsciously beneficial!
@cool82798 i like to imagine that it represents the gloom corruption that link has instead of something abt the hearts being too bright
I just saw a clip on this. Apparently red and blue are hard on the screens or something so the changed the colour slightly. Don’t know how true that is but I bought it 😂
Actually, the campfire on the tower launchpad thing, isn't just for tower launch pads. The game doesn't let you place campfires on basically any objects. Although, you can get one onto a platform by lighting it between two boards on the ground, and then when it turns into a campfire, it will clip up onto the boards. So that's neat.
Haha, I'll have to see if i can recreate that and make an addendum in the next video
@@TheTonyExpressI tried to make a campfire it didn’t work until I dropped it off and it hit the ground
i think the reason they made campfires not allowed on objects is in botw there was a bug that involved dropping campfires in fairy fountains and i think this is how they patched it?
Yeah, it was likely done to prevent glitchyness. Heres you you can get around this limitation.:
[][][][] is a board
| is the sticks
{} is a campfire
[][][][] | [][][][] will become
[][][][]{}[][][][]
If the boards are close enough together, the campfire will be on top of them when it forms. Its easiest to light the sticks on fire on the boards, and then just ultrahand them into place, where they will instantly become a campfire when they touch the ground.
Works great for making a fuelless hot air balloon.
Link gained two apples since BotW (Since if I recall correctly, he weighed about 7.5 in BotW and now weighs about 10 in TotK)
Lol, how do you make a scale in botw?
@@TheTonyExpress I believe one the shrines had a scale puzzle.
@@TheTonyExpress I think it was a shrine puzzle!
that scale isn't the most accurate sadly. i put on one of the 3 metal boxes on each side and they were not equal.
14:36 I like to think that Rauru’s hand adjusted itself to match Link via whatever magical (?) process resizes all weaponry to the scale of whomever picks it up (like how when you pick up the same claymore that a boss bokoblin was using, it becomes you-sized, and vice versa).
Gonna throw some things out there:
Getting Noble Pursuits in this game involves a whole mini questline/dialogue path with the bar keep. I can't remember the exact wording but she insits Link is still too young to drink it, but she's developed a new recepie for younger folks to try it. This implies that either Hylians have a higher drinking age then humans, Gerudo have a higher drinking age then humans, or the Noble Pursuit is just THAT strong.
The Hudson sign isnt the only thing to dissapear during cutscenes. Happens to the Queen Gibbdo wing too
Haha, i like it. Ill have to do that quest and maybe add more to the next script
Wait I didn’t do any quests other than regional phenomena and I still got a pursuit
LOL drinking age in Gerudo town must be thirty.
Jokes on her, link can stomach rock roasts.
I get it with Colgera jaws too
i like to imagine that the dual dragon symbol is also a reference to the final fight against the Demon Dragon
Omg how did i not think of that during scripting? Maybe i was afraid of spoilers for the very end, but now i wanna add that info for the next video, thanks!
14:24 if you look closely in the inventory menu, you can see that Rauru's arm is in fact slightly bigger than Link's left hand. Lining them up as best I could, it looks like Rauru's fingers (not just the nails, actual fingers) are just slightly longer than Link's real fingers on his left hand, and Rauru's palm is just slightly bigger all around as well. Strangely enough it seems like Rauru's thumb is actually just slightly shorter.
At least that's what I saw, i could be wrong. Neat detail if true!
EDIT: I also noticed this detail while using Ascend! The way Link's hands are positioned when he "dives" show that the fingers of the right hand are a little longer than his left
Also I suspect the arm was put on using some form of the Fuse power, which we see regularly being able to resize objects for convenience.
Interesting thoughts. I'll have to look more into it and possibly make an addendum for the next video
17:40 The sheikah slate updated in real time too, while you are making up to vah rudania when you knock over the bridge leading to death mountain (b4 you knock it down) the bridge is up but after you hit it with yunobo the bridge pops up on the map.
Never knew that, or if i did, i didn't retain the info
what is this series for if not to learn things and not retain any info
@@PaulFisher what?
@@HenwyMasterThe info is 'useless' so the list is less about actually learning the information and more about the temporary entertainment from hearing about the info.
@@alchemysaga3745 yea but i just wanted to share a fun fact about botw
Regarding the Hudson Cutout unrendering during cutscenes; this applies to many key overworld objects fused to shields or weapons such as boss drops (like colgera jaw), and of course the Hudson Cutouts.
I figured yeah, but only tested it with a mirror shield tbh. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.
@@TheTonyExpress perhaps is the size of the attached material that causes it to unrender
I think it's because the game doesn't want you to look too goofy.
So, about the think about Link's age, when you say he's about 21, he's actually 121 years old, technically.
Because he was asleep for 100 years
Lol truuue. I subtracted his in limbo state years
And yet being 117 years old back in BotW still wasn't good enough for the Gerudo. Either their drinking age laws are specifically written to account for people who's chronological and biological ages diverged due to magical age-pausing healing tech, or... They go by how old you look. But it couldn't be the second one because Link looks the same in TotK, and should therefor still be denied by that bartender if looks are what matters. As such, since simply being chronologically old enough never mattered anyway, the only relevant change left is that Link has naturally aged a few years since BotW. Based on that logic, the only reasonable conclusion is that Gerudo bartenders can somehow directly perceive a person's biological age itself. Perhaps by judging the length of the telomeres on their DNA?
@@Alloveck OK, but in TOTK, Link saves the entirety of Gerudo Town from the sand shroud, I feel like they wouldn't care about the age thing if Link saved them
“☝️🤓”
i mean he's still basically just 18 because neither his mind nor body aged in any way during that time. he essentially time travelled.
I finally cracked it. I don't watch "random content" just because I need something to watch while eating. I genuinely love indulging in content with no "real" applicable knowledge JUST BECAUSE. Holy shit
Nintendo actually did intend for people to fuse the Hudson cutout to a sheild because if you gaurd with the sheild in front of villagers, they will comment on how they think you are Hudson.
when i heard about the thyphlo ruins being in modern hyrulean, i actually thought “oh so zelda helped make these”
I feel like the decayed master sword fuse would've worked if it was "You can't use Fuse on a shattered blade"
That would be the best way to phrase it since other weapons around the overworld are also decayed until you find pristine versions in the depths
They expected you fuse Hudson to a shield cause you can fuse it to a shield. The cutscene and teleporting behaiviour could be a mess up with coding or more probably imo was intentional so that Hudson wont block your view in a cutscene
11:50 I think the Silent Princess is a reference to Koko and Cottla's dead mother, because her old journal is right there beneath it in the cave.
I did the math and link weighs 3.3 pounds
As a Floridian in his early 40s, I love the RedGreen refference. We all loved the RedGreen show in Florida. :) Red Green was like a calmer, slightly less insane, Florida Man. lol
I think the double dragon is a reference to the two points in time working in unison to stop ganon
One era: the past, with Rauru helping Zelda to repair the master sword, seal ganondorf, and make the sages aware of this situation so that Link and his allies can end Ganondorf once and for all in their era. The light dragon, or Zelda, ties these two eras together, thus the dragons on the logo
after drinking a noble pursuit, remember to NOT drink and glide!
I was so sad that there wasn't anything at that tiny super high up sky island, I spent so long getting there and not so much as a korok? man. Personally if i'd been able to I'd have put a treasure chest with a single green rupee in it up there XD
That'd be one of the most hilarious developer jokes ever pulled off.
The area around Death Mountain is still a volcanic desert. You can tell because, while it’s tolerable for all races in Hyrule now, it’s still around 102 degrees Fahrenheit, which is not enough for Link to start taking damage from Heat Stroke. It needs to be at least 110 degrees Fahrenheit for that.
I see the two dragons in the logo being references to the final battle between Zelda’s dragon and Ganon’s dragon
Hey! Can't help but notice when you're showing the recipe for the noble pursuit, you also show that you've unlocked the recipe for throwing 5 rubies into a cooking pot! Was wondering what the thought process was there! Great video, by the way!
Yummy Ruby meals
Goron Ramsey: This is shit!
If you accept a sage quest for a dungeon, leave that area, then enter the proximity to the area, the sage will teleport to you to encourage you. This happened to me with Yunobo and a sky island above Death Mountain.
New Noble Pursuit is actually a non-alcoholic variant.
17:55 you can see the Purah Pad updating in real-time in a few other places too, like the muddy water around Zora's Domain turning blue once you clear the Water Temple, and during the Legend of the Great Sky Island quest, where the Purah Pad will display the floating waterfall islands for the duration of the quest and then go back to normal once you complete it/once those islands disappear
The most interesting thing that I found was that you can make a campfire on top of Koltin’s balloon, but if you sit by it until noon then you wake up next to a campfire way above the ground; you and the campfire fall to the ground and the campfire stays lit
What?! that's crazy. ima have to test that out and add it to the script if i get the same results
I should add though, I play on a cartridge so I’m not sure if it works outside of 1.0.0
I think it will though
Thanks for the Red Green reference! That is some quality media right there.
Keep your stick on the ice.
Yknow, I was watching the 10 min video yesterday and was like “damn, it’d be cool if he uploaded more for totk, look at that
I've seen a lot of videos on TotK and you still had a lot of cool facts that no one else covered yet, awesome video!
That's awesome feedback, thanks! Yeah i watch a lot of other zelda youtubers, but get a lot of my useless info just by playing and being like, "ha, that's odd yet interesting, better write it down and take a clip before i forget."
THIS SHOULD BE CALLED “20 MINUTES OF TOTK TRIVIA” :)
They probably should have come up with a better excuse, or at least a better display message, for not letting you fuse to the decayed Master Sword. Since, you know, you can clearly fuse to damaged weapons. And all regular overworld weapons are decayed, which is why they have lower power then in BotW. The weaponsmith in the Lookout Landing hideaway specifically calls the state of weapons as "decayed". So, like... just put that on the pile of things that TotK could have handled better.
They could've just put:
"You cannot use fuse on the Decayed Master Sword"
Or even, call me crazy:
"You cannot use fuse on this"
Nintendo, it's not that hard. Just make things make sense
Small thing, but similarly to the Hudson cutout, armor parts from armored Bokoblins/Lynels disappear during cutscenes and fast travel. And yeah, same happens when fused on weapons
The Red Green Show.... you have awakened a powerful nostalgia in me. My goodness that takes me back...!
I remember Worten specifically because I emerged from the ground near him after I used ascend to get out of the caves beneath and I thought it was funny that he got scared despite me being not even that close to him, not to mention being out of view.
Link weighing 10 apples is so funny
i used to watch red green show with my dad ❤ i didn't expect a reference to it in a zelda video of all things.
your contraption is missing some duct tape, but i actually laughed out loud when you said "if the vai don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy"
the venn diagram of people who get that joke must be a sliver lmao
There's been more people recognizing the reference than I imagined when I uploaded this. Keep your stick on the ice!
About the Kakariko Village well, supposedly, that red stuff is just a red material
A comment on a separate video said this, and you can find the same red material in Typhlo Ruins, but it wouldn't be a stretch to say that is infact blood on the walls.
Edit: Also, on Links furry arm, you can notice his demolished arm, its hard to see, but it is there
Subscribed as of the Red Green Show reference. Thanks for the useless facts!
Keep your stick on the ice
9:07 i also like to interpret the logo as the end fight with the two dragons fighting each other
Fun fact, the Dusk Bow fired Arrows of Light when it was the Twilight Bow in BotW, and I was livid when I found out that light arrows were just entirely missing from totk
you had some perfect timing there, cause once you said Cece wasn't a cat lover or a witch, she turned her head on "witch", which scared me
Of course they expect you to fuse Hudson to a shield. That's the default expected way they expect you to use it. Not as a wind gust
the shiekah slate and purah pad are a cycle of inventions that are based on each other (there’s not really confirmation that this is the case, but I think it makes sense). the purah pad is purah’s improvement on the shiekah slate, which was then sent back in time, and inspired the design of the shiekah slate.
I’ve been waiting for you to restart this series for so long!!!!!!
Happy to bring it back. I got super busy with irl stuff from last summer til December, but should be posting more regularly from now on.
@@TheTonyExpress yeah it happens sometimes. So glad the series is continuing. My mums in hospital with gangrene and these videos always cheer me up.
@@smelly_Official0I'm sorry to hear that. Hope your mom is fine😢
any time I find a random Red Green reference it automatically makes my day better
The fun facts repository made me hit like. The Red Green reference made me hit sub.
Remember, I’m pulling’ for ya. We’re all in this together.
Keep your stick on the ice. 🏒
I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.
the well is actually where the wife of one of the old men who argue over defense or offense was murdered by the yiga as a book with all her recipes is sitting there
Yo! Link can be a bartender now?! He's stepping up his cooking skills since Breath of the Wild!
20:19 actually all weapons in the overworked are lightly decayed that’s what the rust stuff is
SPOILER WARNING
9:10 now that i think about it, ganondorf makes zelda teleport to the past where zelda causes ganondorf's sealing that lets him meet zelda itself, this gets better with the end of the game where both dragons directly confrot
When aiming a bow at a bokoblin then pressing Z at the same time, it will target it's feet in botw, but in TOTK it targets it's head
8:22 why didn’t i know that’s what the sparkle was 😭 i’ve been playing totk since launch and i played botw for 4 years before that
4:22 bro thinks he’s Max Payne
You can prevent wood from burning by keeping it wet. So build a wooden flying machine with hydrants and fly straight into death mountain! 😁
I love this series so much
I was at Hateno Village and I was mindlessly cutting down the trees at the farms and I accidentaly cut down a sign. Turns out you can fuse those signs to weapons and shields!
Haha i actually mention that one towards the end if the 60 min video ;)
I gotta say bc it's driving me insane but I don't believe the logo is meant to represent two opposing forces, I think it's just a stylized ouroboros. While the idea of forever cycling forces is certainly a path they could have gone down, they didn't and I don't think that concept represents the game well especially because we see these dragon designs throughout zonai architecture and there is never dragons opposing forces. Especially on the large skillcheck doors, they're seen touching but not in an opposing way.
I believe it's just about the looping passage of time based on how much emphasis is put into time throughout the game, and they simply chose two dragons to make it more visually symmetrical and to maybe hint that there would be more than just one significant dragon.
It's simply hard to believe that the dragons are interlocked in opposition especially when we know the dragons are benevolent creatures and the symbol of the ouroboros already knowingly exists. That imagery can't be separated easily.
Oh I'm so happy to see this series continue
If you go into a chasm waypoint on the night that a blood moon is occuring and stay there until midnight passes the blood moon will not occur. It will spawn again the next evening and you can go back underground to bypass the blood moon again.
I did an entire playthrough without getting a single blood moon cutscene through this.
You can go into a shrine to bypass a Blood Moon, too. Just gotta do that for every single night afterwards
Oooo YT finally serving good recommendations again =O
I really dig channels with good mics and nice voices, telling me "useless" interesting trivia about the Zelda franchise 😁
The red in the kakariko well is the red trim from the zonai wall (see: lomei labrynth 1 2 & 3)
11:11 in OoT completing the water temple has got nothing to do with the Kakariko well. All you got to do is get the Song of Storms from the windmill guy as adult Link and play it infront of the guy as child Link.
The logo most likely represent the final battle of the game
Your videos are tops. The replay value to me is on par with vintage AVGN. Really glad you are doing these with TOTK!
That's some high praise. Vintage avgn is classic stuff lol thanks!
Honestly, his videos are tops because they have their way with my time and I thank them for it.
How did you get the UI to go away for the one around 3:51
Is it somewhere in the settings or not a game function
There should be something in settings called pro mode
in the pause menu settings you can set the HUD mode between normal and pro. pro mode removes all the stuff from around the edges of the screen. I should have added that into the script. Thanks for asking!
They only serve us the non alcoholic version of the novle pursuit. Like in the quest is says shes been experimenting with a non alcohol version. :(
Not sure if this was intentional but just wanted to let you know. 5:53 There seems to be a word thats blocked off by the timer being in front of the text. I think its “stops”?
Hah, yeah that's a small mistake. Good eye
WHAT NONE OF THIS WAS USELESS I feel ripped off! jkjkjkjk
These are so cool! I had no idea about most of these!
Great content. Keep it up! (:
i missed this so much
thank you
I do have to note that most weapons we find in the overworld are decayed, and therefore it's not just decayed weapons being unfusable, but literally just the decayed master sword.
That camera one is so cool, it’s so pretty
Ahhh! I totally get the RedGreen reference!!! I had to stop the video to show my fiance! 😂 10/10 what a great little ad lib!!
Thanks. Keep your stick on the ice!
finally the Link frostbite set um art is completely fine. he's my age after all
Good vid man 😁
I am so close to getting every shrine in this game but it is grueling because I don’t look up ones that I’m confused about
There is exactly one guardian remaining in hyrule. It is on top of the hateno tech lab
when lifting up things with ultra hand, link ignores climbing on certain terrain going up hills and mountains
You had a genuinely helpful not useless fact in this
It's almost as if NPCs are programmed not to react to quest items while you're using Ultrahand on them 🤔🤔
Also, upvoting for the Red Green Show reference. Keep your stick on the ice!
I thought I was so original fusing hudson to my shield
Red green reference earned a follow
I wanna know what happens when you try to do each of the dungeons early. Before you complete the quests leading up to them. Or even before talking to purah
But you need the Sages ability to acess them. I think
@@wauwauhuhnente5150 well with the water temple theoretically you could fly up there with a hover bike i just want to know what happens if you doz. or if you just wander over to the fire temple under death mountain.
I can look into this
Oh nothing happens it’s just impossible to open the locks leading to the fights
I've tried this lol.
All of them are possible.
Water Temple is a bit tricky without the paraglider because of the waterfalls but, It is possible. I usually use wings to make bridges.
The Fire Temple Is kinda simple, you have to get a fairy in order to jump into the volcano without dying. Then you just do the rest from there.
You can get to the Wind Temple with a hoverbike but, I never ended up beating the boss without a paraglider so idk if it's possible.
Lighting you can do the easiest without a paraglider.
With the Spirit Temple you can use the tower near the dragon island to get up there and you have to land in the pond up there. Then the rest is pretty easy from there.
Thank you for helping me start my juggling career
How did you get the camera glitch to work?
Spoilers: in the game logo, even though the bottom half of the Master Sword is depicted like the geoglyphs, the overall impression when looking at the logo is of the decayed sword recovering. And how does it recover? Literally through Zelda! It's as if the decayed part of the sword is *stuck* in the 'Z'. Realised this when watching at 8:32
mind blown, that's a really cool though. def adding to the script. some may call that a stretch, but it makes perfect sense to me, TYSM!
hey you're welcome. happy to see this fact made it into the sequel video!@@TheTonyExpress
I had a buddy that was casually duplicating his items in totk & made him super bored of the game to the point where he still hasn't beaten it, & we've both been playing since day one. He duped a bunch of diamonds & a bunch of weapons & it just made it way too easy.
Yeah, I recommend playing as Nintended for one's first playthrough, then using whatever glitches you want for all subsequent playthroughs
Nobody pays attention to the dialogue and quest that lead you to be able to drink the Noble Pursuit. Even in your video you can see what the lady tells you before selling it. It's a new version of the drink that can be enjoyed by the young and elderly.
I think that the blood in kakariko village well is from the wife of Dorian. The game clearly states that his wife was murdered by Yiga.
Mwah love these vids. Cant wait for the 60 mins
The relative lack of lore is one of my biggest gripes with this game, specially regarding the Zonai.
It matters little, the lore is just there to set up the gameplay
@@anotheryoutubeaccount5259 It certainly matters to me. I would have liked to learn more about the Zonai thru lore discovery of some sort, but there is very little of that here, and there is far too little of Zelda's activities in the past imo.
These two games have always been rather short on story & it's a shame. It pales in comparison to many Western developed AAA titles such as Horizon or God of War Ragnarok. That said I still love the games for their gameplay.
@@skins4thewin Hm, well, Zelda was hardly ever a lore heavy or consistent series
The unbearable cold was in BOTW but it would only show when you were in ice water. Also iirc the heat message was in BOTW
You need to do more Hyrule comparisons videos, zora's domain, death mountain, village comparisons
Most def. All coming soon. Doing dedicated village comparisons is a great idea, as I was going to include them as I cover each region, but I could do a deep dive on each town. I already did Gerudo town that way, but more glossed over it without getting too deep. I also want to do the labyrinths, the temples of time, sheikah vs zonai shrine design, sheikah slate vs purrah pad, the dragons, etc. This series has a lot more episodes yet to be released
You sadly can’t light campfires on the dragons either unfortunately. You just have to wait the full 10 minutes for the reset on parts
4:16 this is arguably very useful
loved the red green reference lol
Dude, when the boko arm broke I was like, "That's perfect for a red green reference."
I know I should be sleeping. I know I should be working on things but this is more important. I want the most useless information ever
