Bean seller. Bean seller is my favorite character in the Zelda franchise and was unfortunately only in 2 games, those being ocarina of time and majora’s mask. He sells beans, but there are no beans in Totk. I want a dlc similar to the durian idea explaining why beans are gone.
I honestly hope that if they add the Minish, that they will also add the Four Sword as special Weapon to use, I see tons of Potential in it for puzzles and so on in TotK
Hearty foods are rarer in TotK than BotW because link single handedly over harvested every kind of them, making the durians fully extinct and the rest endangered 😊
looking at the farming machines in TotK, I'm pretty sure the next game in the Zelda universe is gonna be everyone frantically trying to save the environment after Link collects *everything*. welcome to the Industrial Revolution, Hyrule....... ^^;
I think Kass is mentioned when Penn goes searching for a mysterious bard when you eventually complete the News paper side quest. I can see this evolving into a possible dlc side quest.
He is. You can find Penn at the south end of Washa’s Bluff at the top of a mushroom tree thing. He talks about a bard who studied the songs of the land from that spot.
I noticed a lot of the animals that potentially drop gourmet meat seem to be more rare in ToTK. I think its to make it more difficult/prevent the player from farming gourmet meat.
@@byksEBM The yiga clan stuff and other npcs In the 2 new layers was one of my favorite aspects of the game they were just fare and few in-between and I would have liked there to be more stuff. It’s a little thing but after the zora quest a zora swims up the waterfall to the sky to fish for the fish only found in the sky, there’s no quest or anything special but just seeing people in these new areas flesh’s out the world and I wish there was more stuff like that.
I don't see why the developers would remove Kass. I'm sure they knew how loved by the fans he is, so removing it just doesn't make any sense, unless they are building up the hype to make a great comeback of kass in a dlc and I do think and hope that happens
16:18 i feel that the champions gave thier abilities to link while their spirits were still in hyrule, at the end of BotW they seemingly moved on, likely taking the source of thier abilities with them as they do. I feel *this* is why link doesnt have the champion abilities in TotK, plus if he did the sages would be largely not needed in the arching story.
I mean when you use revalis gale you see him fly around you, I found it less like link HAD their abilities and more like they were using their abilities FOR him, much like the sages in TOTK :)
I had this idea of a zone The Sheikah Junkyard. There was no need for the sheikah tech anymore since they defeated calamity ganon. So they removed all the stuff and put it in an empty zone somewhere in hyrule. Now imagine discovering this zone in TotK with endless parts of the divine beasts, guardians, shrines and towers laying around and at some point gloom forms a Transformer out of the sheikah tech parts and it's a epic bossfight.
how is it possible that literally any thoughts about tokt are incapable of not being accompanied by ideas of cool things that could have been done with the game to make it interesting in any capacity
I do love the new caves in this game, but there are some missed opportunities involving them. Mainly the ones under Akkala Citadel and Spectacle Rock. There’s a cave entrance right where the entrance to Akkala Citadel used to be, and when I saw that I was excited to be able to explore the ruins of Akkala Citadel’s interior… but it’s just another cave. It also would’ve been sick to see some ruins reminiscent of Zelda 1’s final dungeon under Spectacle Rock, but that one’s also just another cave. There are some cool and unique caves in this game, I just wish these two were as well.
We need the Hero's Shade armor in game as an armor set there's a bunch of other armors that should be added in as well. But yes we above all else need cats in the game
@@derrickdaniels3955It's experimental and tactical gameplay more than combat. I love combat more than the crazy gimmicks, but I guess the devs really wanted people to do something other than swing a sword around.
I kind of wanted more optional dungeons. Like there are 152 shrines, they could've taken away 20 and made another dungeon. Speaking of dungeons, i wish some of them required small keys to get through to some areas like the older games as well.
Okay but then that'd be sacrificing another 4 hearts/stamina pieces, leaving Link with even less hearts/stamina than the fully available 38. Being off by 2 segments/hearts is already something some people (like me) don't enjoy because of wanting it to be full and even. If I were to do it I'd say maybe take away 4 shrines for a dungeon, that way the maximum amount at least stays the same, or take away 16 shrines and the with a heart from the dungeon the max would be either 35 hearts+3 stamina wheels or 40 hearts and 2 stamina wheels.
I would love, in the future, to have optional mini-dungeons (as opposed to the micro-dungeons that shrines are) that give you optional (traditional) secondary items that can help, but never be required, for puzzle-solving in the rest of the world, and/or some unique weapons, and your choice of Heart Container or Stamina Vessel after beating a boss, even if those bosses aren't unique, at the cost of removing a few shrines here and there to make up for the lack of whatever macguffin you need four of to exchange after completing shrines otherwise. They could be as big as something like Ikana Castle from Majora's Mask at their largest, maybe a tiny bit bigger. The perfect hybrid between old and new 3D Zeldas *can* exist, it's just a matter of whether or not they decide to go that route and put in the time and effort.
I mean, technically speaking, almost everything in this game IS optional (in a sense), which is something that I've always felt will make it very hard if not impossible to truly make it feel like the older, more self contained titles. But I do get where you're coming from
@CaptBurgerson exactly! Pretty sure his wife is also still around - and he said in BotW he decided to go home and spend time with his family and now he just DIPPED AGAIN??
Who else is gone? Vilia, and the Gerudo outfit he sold, seem to be gone. Does this mean Nali and Pritana will just never speak to us again? What about Branli? I personally haven't seen him. I've seen Pondo, another former minigame host, but not the bird man lover himself.
I definitely want to know what the developers originally intended for the Dondons. Obviously they had a larger part in the game at some point before it got cut. My personally theory is that they were supposed to be your main form of transportation in the depths and would have been able to scale minor inclines but the devs ran out of time to either program or animate them
Maybe the dondons were the main mode of depths transport before they came up with the zonai devices or fully implemented them, which made them irrelevant.
They legit crap out Zonite ore and gemstones when you feed them Luminous stones, it works kind of like the hateno farming and im not sure exactly how long it takes and if the gems are rarer types the more stone you feed them. But whenever im out collecting bananas in the Faron jungles I stop to collect gems and ore and feed the dondons before I head off. Its actually really useful and its sort of a bit of a "you miss the info if you dont pay attention" since you only learn about it by trying to take the gems off the table, the caretaker NPC is kind of a ditz since all she says is to be nice to them and that they really like Zelda
There are nitpicky things that i wish were there like the inside of Akkala Citadel being not just a regular cave, or more than four dungeons, or just a few little classic enemies to truly shake up the lineup of foes. But most importantly, I wish Ganondorf and the Depths had more focus in the story. I have no problem with how he was characterized and portrayed, but I wish we had more time to spend with him. This isn’t my idea, but memories from Ganondorf's perspective would go a long way for helping us understand him and his relationship with Hyrule, the Gerudo, etc. These memories would fit perfectly in the depths, not as geoglyphs but perhaps something guarded by an enemy, to make chasing his story more dangerous than Zelda. Then there's the Depths itself. Truly one of the most fascinating places in the series, with almost no explanation. Why does it mirror Hyrule? Why are there mines under settlements that didnt exist until recently? Why do the Yiga say the walls look artificial? Why are there dragon skeletons in the exact spots as the surface ones? None of these mysteries are explained, and it leads me to believe that there will be an eventual DLC focusing on the Depths.
@@catalyst539 The depots aren't really dungeons. Unless you're talking about the spirit temple.. which you definitely aren't. Hyrule castle has a dungeon map, and that's about it. You can go there any time in the game and fight some basic enemies. Not a dungeon, really.
I wish they would have shown people/Zonai living in the sky (even if it was just in memories)- also I feel like we did not get enough time getting to know Sonia
I think it says somewhere in the game that all the sheikah tech, including the divine beasts, were broken down and used to make the skyview towers so that Ganon couldn’t take control of them in the future.
It did! I'm pretty sure when you first go to lookout landing is when they tell you about it I feel like a Lot of people either skipped or forgot all the dialogue from the introduction sequence once they got to the main gameplay portion
Yup you’re 100% right. But how cool would it have been if they left the beasts as ruins to explore and have their helms as a reward instead of them just being in caves
I was so convinced we’d find the divine beasts buried somewhere that I spent way more time than I’d like to admit scanning each and every chasm for some sign of one of them peaking out after I realized the depths don’t have anything related to them besides the end game fuse material. I was so convinced that could have been a realistic way they’d have done it but alas, nothing.
Yes bits of them in the depths would have been such a natural way to give the precious game a nod without getting in the way of game play. They could have done that for the sheika shrines, too. Just peaking out in the depths.
Nice video! Tears of the Kingdom is a fantastic game, but there is definitely some stuff that is missing. I agree with everything that you said, and I definitely miss Kass the most. The quests he gave in BOTW were really fun to do in my opinion.
If the Divine Beasts can disappear from existence without an explanation, the Minish sure as heck can _appear_ without an explanation. Make it happen Nintendo!
The factory was just a compilation of shrines. Almost all the temples minus the lightning one felt like cheap imitation dungeons again. Hyrule castle remains as the definitive dungeons that doesn’t get explored as much in totk.
@@joesavag huge dungeons that take hours to complete don't fit with the open world that you can put hundreds of hours into already Edit: and they're leagues better than the Divine Beasts with clear themes and differing bosses
I can imagine the reason they didn't include any sort of fishing rod is because they didn't want to have the player remake the rod over and over again just to fish.
Thought, I can imagine how the fishing rod can work. Light fishing rod Att: 4 dur: 10 A light weight fishing rod which is used to catch fish, just attach a bait to the rod and throw it into the water to catch. Some bait attracts different fish. Hunting rod Att: 20 dur: 40 A extendable line used to catch large animals and birds. Place a lure into the cage to attract the animal, then attack to snag them. Different bait works for different animals. Monster trap (a special award for the bubbel quest) Att: 60 dur: 100 A special trap designed to snare monsters, place the bait into the cage, then activate to entrap the monster. Different monsters use different baits. Works on large monsters but only traps their foot
I wish we could have had a fight with demon king ganondorf with him on his gloom powered horse just like twilight princess. We see him in a cutscene with a super cool horse. The whole final battle is great just Adding that in the final fight will truly test everything you do in totk 👍🏻
Realistically, they are. Darknuts don't actually attack "like Link", they don't have the same attacks as Link. That's Dark Link. In fact, his description of them mostly comes just from TP. If you look at the way they are in other games, Phantom Ganon fits. A lot better than they fit other Phantom Ganons in past games.
@Hyrule Gamer Purah has a Diary entry talking about that the Shiekah disassembled their tech so it could NEVER be used against the Kingdom ever again. (Also, it's about 8 to 10 years between BotW and TotK.)
I think we need a deeper "Depths" area as DLC... EVERYTHING of the Surface is reflected in the Depths, so where are the inverted Sky Islands?... Something like the "Core" or the "Void". The last 32 Shrines are reflected on islands so far under the Depths, we're nearing the Core of the Planet(?) so there's lava sea under the islands(?)... This would come with the reflection of the Great Sky Island being the "Great Shadow Temple", we could get 4 Sage's Wills for the Shadow Sage, and 8 new Shrines to Maximize Hearts + Stamina! *The Core Islands would need an enemy exclusive to the Area... since the Zonai have been here, there's a Flux III in the Temple, where the Flux I is on the Great Sky Island, but besides the Flux, I think the arena islands could be home to Dark Knights/Knuckles/Knuts?...*
@@gabriellockwood2780 I had that void idea also regarding what they could do for DLC. Would be amazing, but I also feel unlikely. I fear they'll just toss some more items in at random locations and call that a day, like with one of the BotW DLCs that just added Misko treasures to random spots.
You can dye Link's hair with certain outfits... EXCEPT the Yiga Outfit, WTF That's how they identify you for some Side Quests-"Blond Hair! You're Link!"
like the dungeon we saw in the trailer of twilight princess with the huge spider monster....people got excited back then for that and we never got that
9:41 I was was so sad that there was no underwater gameplay/levels in BotW. I’m mad that we also didn’t get it for TotK. We got the Depths (which could have been fantastic if there was more terrestrial diversity), but no underwater 😭
I wanted underwater exploration so bad. ESPECIALLY in this iteration of hyrule in totk big miss imo. Huge L. No fishing either!? In a game like tears!? I wanted to fish in the sky and take in the views.
@@summerycast7936 Na see i wanna actually cast a line. Earn it once in a while. That's whatever, i got 1000 ways to cheese. Cool i can cheese any way i want sure, but i can't do what I wanna do. How I wanna do it. And THAT is the bottom line of this game player freedom. Yet i feel forced to cheese and farm for what? More health? Buffs? Got it in the bag already. I'd even settle for a fishing trap or net or something. Hell even bow fishing with a line. But no i have to bE cReAtIVe. I need legit ways AND i need alternative ways. That dog just ain't gon hunt.
@@butdumpling53 I do want fishing lines too even if it's faster to electrocute them. Not disagreeing with you. Just pointing out my favourite fishing method.
I honestly think that there is still so much stuff they can do not just for DLC, but for the next 3D zelda game. I know it's early to think about it and stuff, but it has been on my mind a lot lately!
@@R1IY2N you literally can't the triforce if it is like the other triforce in link between worlds it would be the very foundation of the world if it goes so will the whole world gradually
The poe, one of my favourites enemy. They really turned them into some kind of money lmao 😭 Just imagine a secret sidequest with those strange mages/statues from the depths where you free them but they are actually a secret boss "Poe brothers" like the poe sisters from ocarina, that would be sick
I think Hookshot would’ve been awesome. I can just imagine the Doom Eternal Meathook Shenanigans Link would be doing in Hyrule. Plus Halo Infinite Traversal with the grappling hook.
14:00 this sounds great as something you could do soon following saving her, because it could be her basically explaining what happened but YOU do the whole thing
Moza, found near "Ishto Soh" Shrine in Gerudo Highlands has completed her "Ultimate dish". It turns out Kass was the main ingredient, perfect ingredient for the perfect dish.
Omg the Hearty Durians... I finally got to that cliffside right by the Faron Tower where i used to farm them near the 2 owl statues (cool stuff in the depths right underneath them btw) but i CAN'T BELIEVE they were all gone!
The question is where. We don't actually know where is the triforce in the botw and totk time. Its not in the temple of time and neither link or ganondorf seem to have a part. Maybe zelda has it full power?
Hearing you mention wanting a new dlc area immediately reminded me of Fallout New Vegas, the DLCs would suddenly add something not originally there in the base game that allows you to access a whole new area, but what I do hope would come true is DLC maps taking you to Holodrum and Labrynna, those two games have big maps (especially Holodrum) and it would be fun to have Labrynna utilize the depths as a way to make up the lack of time travel, having the past shown in the depths, perhaps Holodrum can have some manipulation using the already existing elemental items, it would be a big stretch, but it would be amazing to see those games in 3D, especially because both maps have tall structures and mountains, climbing would definitely make those maps a joy to explore.
The Divine Beasts are the thing that bothers me the most. There's practically nothing saying whether they were dismantled or destroyed by Ganodorf. I know there are people who don't like them, but I loved this "Colossus" and wanted to see them again. 😐
In the extended ending of BoTW, Zelda mentioned the Divine Beast Vah Ruta stopped funtioning; Perhaps all 4 divine beasts 'died' after fullfilling their purpose of destorying Calamity Ganon, that may be the reason they are not in ToTK. As such, rather than destroyed by Ganondorf, they are more likely to be dismantled or as least moved to somewhere else, afterall it is quite dangerous to leave the 'dead' giants on the mountains.
Imagine if Nintendo is actually making a DLC where you're exploring a different land with Kass where all the missing ennemies mentioned are there. Would be very nice of their part.
Maybe I'm just being too serious about everything but I think why the lack of triforce and other staple conventions of Zelda lore are starting to bother me and others is because what they're putting in their place doesn't resonate as much. I won't give examples for the sake of spoilers but for a game that reminds almost everyone of Skyward Sword, TotK sure feels to me like it went out of it's way to basically nullify SS's entire story.
One thing my brother mentioned with the inclusion of wells is a boss like Deadhand- not sure how it would fit in lore-wise, but to have a singular boss designated in one of the many wells in this game would have been a super cool, and have me scared to jump down other wells, lol
POTENTIAL SPOILER WARNING!!! . . . . . . . . . . The thing I found missing was the continued omission of the Triforce. It’s has been such a hinge for the the series since it’s inception that having nothing more than a subliminal, passing nod is unacceptable honestly.
I'd like to add the ancient saddle and bridle... Even though the ultrahand vehicles makes up for it since we can build things anywhere, I totally miss it since we can upgrade our horses but we can't teleport them to where we are.
@Hyrule Gamer I hope for dlc they add even more sky islands and enemies. Maybe add a ruined skyloft that’s super high up, also let link play a guitar.😅
I think we need a DLC talking about how The Shieka clearly stole the Divine Beasts, as the ancient sages all wear masks that look like one of the beasts. Looking at a lot of their tech, I get the feeling the Shieka stole a lot of things. Really, when you look at some of the things we knew of the Zonai (the barbarian armor was considered one of our first hints of the Zonai tribe) they were treated more as savages. What happened? Why do we only ever meet two of them? Something is wrong here, and I NEED to know why. I feel like it could be used to explore what happened to all the Shieka ruins as well...
this game is absolutely amazing....but the return of the triforce was one of my biggest hopes for this game. I was hoping that the secret stones would end up being pieces of the triforce of courage before TOTK launched.
TotK’s Secret Stones seem to be equivalent to OoT’s Sage Medallions, so IDK why so many people expected them to be the Triforce. Personally, I think the Triforce is there, even if we don’t see it directly.
I would love being able to interact with your horse on a more complex level. Petting, walking/leading your horse by holding the reins while not mounted which would help in getting your horse around certain obstacles it really doesn't want to go through, etc. There was a lot of things they could have done to make the horses feel more like companions in my opinion.
Dark Link was also missing and the new 'dungeons' feel incomplete and were a slight let down. Half were in a good format but were just too short and the other half getting there was really the main part of the dungeon but they didn't announce you were in one until the final part of it. Overall, they were a bit lacking. It might be not being able to unlock new abilities while in a dungeon to solve the current puzzle, it was such a big part of the zelda series. There wasn't really any barriers in this format so that might have contributed to the watered down feeling..
There's just something about Dark Link that makes him intimidating if he became an enemy. Parrying attacks, precise bow shots, utilizing fusion mechanics, and just becoming a menace for anyone who hasn't mastered Link's abilities.
The hearty blue sea snail is also gone. I was searching all over the beaches for it wondering how it had become so rare, I thought I needed it for a few seafood recipes. Turns out they’ve changed those recipes that needed the blue shell snail. I only figured out it was gone gone when I was filling my compendium and noticed there wasn’t a slot for it in there
Durians were removed, not because they were too OP, but because they were too common. They were literally EVERYWHERE in the Faron region. There was a great spot next to Faron Tower that we used to use for farming, that had about 16 Durians. However, we have no need of them when the FABS/FABT glitch exists. Food Ability Buff Swap/Transfer. Doesn’t work on 1.1.2. Edit: Octoroks do more than polish weapons; they also repair and give modifiers to weapons. Edit 2: Tingle is in TotK. He just got fat and grew taller, and now wears a mask and is clad in red. That’s right, Master Kohga is Tingle.
I enjoyed the game but I feel like there were a few quality of life things they could do. I agree a fishing pole even just as a low tier weapon with a distance grab ability similar to the boomerang would have been really cool. Especially considering how the weapons were all degraded it would have been neat if they had played off that more and made you get creative with what could be fused. Like maybe instead of just using degraded weapons you were forced to use stuff like brooms and fishing poles etc more commonly. Another thing that bugged me was the house building mechanic. It’s a cool idea but could easily be expanded on significantly. First off if I’m going to be running around the whole world picking flowers I want to be able to plant them in my yard. Same with fish in the pond and stuff like that. Also I wish the assets in the house were more customizable. Like let me just build the framework of the house then place stands and chests in it how I want. Also there needs to be armor stands. And the house parts limit needs to be higher and preferably nonexistent. And finally while the building autohand mechanic and stuff is cool and led to lots of funny meme stuff; ultimately it felt forced to me. 90% of what you actually need to build stuff for could have been replaced with a Hookshot and maybe like a handheld balloon tool similar to the glider that just lifts you up. Idk but it didn’t seem necessary except when it was intentionally made to be. It felt like more of a chore to spend 30 minutes building and testing a boat just to get me across a lake or something instead of just some clever game play that usually resorted to anyway after building pissed me off enough times. Also it still bugs me that in the only Zelda games where you are constantly forced to climb they refuse to give us the damn Hookshot. It just doesn’t make any sense to me. They had the excuse in BOTW that it would make traveling to easy but then turn around in TOTK and give us a whole mechanic used to cheese the game. Sorry for the rant I still really enjoyed it and spent more time that I should have beating it. This is just some of the stuff that got under my skin while playing.
P.S. I also really want a Skull Kid outfit. Potentially with an ability that allows you wander the lost woods. I just think that would be really cool. Especially since there isn't really a Korok style outfit. I guess unless you count Links OG style. Also Cece could be expanded on a lot by having more variations on armor pieces similar to the Hood. Potentially combining things stylistically to create "fused" armor pieces. For example Majoras Mask + Skull Kid Hat = Both at the same time.
I wanted even more enemy types. More regions needed unique enemies like moldugas in the desert. I guess frox are basically dodongos, but skulltulas, deku babas, actual poes, the centipedes & moths from WW, a few leftover guardians…
IMO, despite the story being grand, I think they avoided the Triforce in these two because the relic is a little too OP, and would have just been out of place beside the Zonai Stones. It's like a tactical nuke being used against one extremely buff ginger man.
What we need is a revamp of the happiness / malice crystals from SS. They could make a few side quests where you get them, but a primary reason for them could be - let's say we get a zonai device capable of breaking down materials and equipment. Certain materials could be turned into happiness crystals, weapons and armor that you don't want could be broken down into malice crystals. This way nothing is wasted, and you don't have to feel bad for dropping a weapon or Shield or bow on the ground and leaving it behind. What the Gratitude or malice crystals could be used for, well I'm open to suggestions on that.
As a ginormous Revali fan, thank you for mentioning him, it really made my night. Especially since the game seemed hell bent on erasing him completely 😭
8:20 This as a Hi-Fi Rush Zelda Spinoff 10:50 With the new Gameplay style, BOTW and TOTK would more be Souls Clones and less the the Games that they are now. 14:25 It isn't missing, it just isn't named fully. Just look at many Zonai things and you can see it. 16:08 But there are Rocket Shields
The only real thing that's missing is a connection to Breath of the Wild. I know Nintendo likes to make the Zelda games stand alone titles without needing to play previous titles, but there are things that could be done to tie in BotW. For example the Shrine of Resurrection is just a simple cave that vaguely resembles it's past self. They should've made it a massive gutted out cave including the big elevator shaft and divine beast rooms, with bits and pieces still there. Also there's a lot of people that seem like they don't know me when they should. I'm starting to feel like the arm pulled me into an alternate timeline in the beginning of the game.
i remember video showcases displaying fauna and flora existing below the water surface in BOTW but blocked within the frustum of the game while watching from above. since then, i truly hoped we'd get some underwater action, moreso since the full zora armor didn't provide any good benefit at all, which might have changed if we had a more 3D space to work with together with some iron boots to explore lakes or zoras dam. also, in the old trailers of TOTK we saw Zelda riding on (likely) Dongos in the underground, which was changed for some reasons (likely terrain design) in the actual release. we do encounter the friendly dongos in the game but there's not much to do here at all.
Kass is mentioned at one point but it’s very obscure. After you finish the Lucky Clover Gazette quest line if you go back to their headquarters you’re told Penn has gone off to Hyrule Ridge. If you go there you can find Penn at the Rito style house on one of those giant tree/lily pad things (don’t know the name). He mentions that there was a great bard who found himself there and that he’s will embark on a similar quest of self discovery. Super obscure and not nearly enough Kass.
I really hope you read this comment Hyrule Gamer - it would make my day! Just btw, it's long, but I gaurentee you it's interesting. I've been having a "brain eruption" of ideas for a future DLC/new Zelda game: Without going into too much detail, I would like to see a DLC that... well, for one FINALLY allows us to pet dogs - I mean, come on Nintendo, you know we all want it. But it could go much further, as far as to give us secret quest lines. It would be interesting to have personal quests such as we did in Majora's mask, ones that we have come close to in TOTK. But it would need to be something fun or emotional or intense - something like that Anju and Kafai(I hope I spelled that right) quest line. When I completed that quest in Majora's Mask, I felt like I was going to cry because it was so beautiful and heart warming, while at the same time it became really intense trying to same his mask before it was lost forever. TOTK should have a DLC that expands with quest lines that keep the players engaged. Secondly, they should give players new abilities in a future DLC. Similarly to how Breath of the Wild gave us the Master Cycle Zero, I would like to see them give us a new ability or mechanic that is just as fun. Even just bringing the Master Cycle back through a trial quest line would be good enough for me. But this time the could make it a vehicle that transforms for different biomes, such as a snow ski, a sand crawler, and an off-road bike. But I just hope they can bring more to the game to keep us occupied As for a future game(#3 for this story line), I believe they should expand on Hyrule and give us a new villain. New characters(i.e. Yona) have come from distant lands, and old ones(i.e. Kass) have gone off to a distant land. What if in a future Zelda game Kass could return along with another Zora(someone from Yona's land) and warn the residents of Hyrule that something is coming - a great danger that will plague the land of Hyrule once again. Long story short, a great evil arises from the ashes of Hyrule, and no matter how long or how hard Link, Zelda, and the warrior of Hyrule fight against it, it can't be stopped... or can it. Link and Zelda set off on an adventure to find the source of this great evil, meanwhile the sages and other leaders of Hyrule protect their people. Link and Zelda will come across the villain who is causing this chaos and attempt to stop him, but fail. In the fight, link is defeated, and whenever he awakens he has been imprisoned. Upon escaping, he searches for a way to stop this evil and find Zelda. After a long adventure, link grows stronger, gains many allies, and heads on his way to destroy the darkness that plagues the land. He eventually succeeds... but he doesn't. It is only then that he realizes that the villain he'd spent all of his time fighting was a puppet for the one who has devastated Hyrule from the beginning - Ganon. Link continues his journey in hopes of finding Ganon, and he uncovers more about Zelda's whereabouts; however, he does not find her. In the end, he and Ganon face off for the final time in Hyrulian history. In this grand finale, Zelda returns and assists Link in his fight against Ganon. In the fight, Zelda is mortally wounded. Ganon is about to lay the final blows to her, but just then Link jumps in and slashes his Master Sword at the demon king. Weakened, he disappears. Link rushes to Zelda's aid, but realizes there is nothing more he can do for her. [WARNING: Cringe Alert!]With her last breaths, [Okay, you asked for it] she kisses link, and the power of the goddess flows through to him. She falls faint in his arms, and he mourns over her as the thundering rain falls. He face up as his blade flashes, this time much brighter than ever before. He picks it up, and the fury in his eyes foretell of his fate. He hunts down Ganon, and they duel once more. In the fight, Link lays down many weakening blows to the beast. Ganon fills with rage as he fights the hero, and as the fight continues the two grow even stronger and more determined. Link finally realizes there is only one way to end the curse of Demise, and in a shocking turn of events Ganon's blade pierces through Link's chest. Just as all hope seems lost, Link rises from his knees and thrust the Master Sword into the demon king. Over and over, his blade slashes, and finally the beast falls. With a final blow, Link impales Ganon's skull with the blade, and the demon is no more. As Ganon lies breathless on the cold waterbed, Link slowly limps his way the mountainside and gazes at Hyrule once more. With Zelda in his arms, he places his forehead upon hers and smiles. "I love you too," his speaks softly. He lays beside her, shuts his eyes, and reunites with his true love once more in another world. The story ends with the burial and mourning of Hyrule over the loss of their beloved princess and the hero of legend. We see the impact if their journey and the peace that fills Hyrule. In the closing scene, the Master Sword is lying beside a silent princess in a beautiful meadow with the beautiful music that Nintendo does so well playing in the background. The screen darkens, and then their is a sparkling flash of light. *Silence*... "THE END. So, if you had the patience to read through this story book of a Zelda game, do you think this would make for a good game? I know that this is a very big stretch to ask of Nintendo, but it is definitely something to give them food for thought. I plan to make video on this in the future, but for now, could you tell me your thoughts?
something i really miss is the Divine Beasts. while i understand them not playing a significant role, i still wish we saw them deactivated or even dismantled. i would've loved to have seen Rudania deactivated in the volcano, only to fall in and shatter when the Fire Temple opens up, or seeing Naboris on its mountain, head tucked into its side like a real animal, permanently deactivated like the others. would've helped make the 2 games feel connected, while not shoving them into the storyline
Itd be really kool to see dlc where we can reconnect with our departed champions waifus grace raviolis gales mommys furry and the fire sheild one that was kinda useless. And then refight gloom versions of the blight ganons, and then get a few new secret bosses that are harder to fight.
Kass was my favourite character and is my Nintendo pfp to this day. I think they tried to replace him with Penn as the quest-distributing rito but it's not the same as just doing your galavanting through Hyrule thing when suddenly in the distance you hear the faint sound of accordion. Ngl sometimes I'd just stand there next to him as he played for a bit
I don't remember where, but I remember talking to an NPC that mentioned the Sheika Towers were disassembled and their parts repurposed to build the Sky View Towers. Or maybe it was a journal entry? Personally, I don't miss fishing. The Minish may not be present in this game, but there is a forest named after them. My headcanon is that they are there, but we can't see them. There were definitely times where I missed the Hookshot.
I’m the game it says that death mountain was dormant a couple years ago, so while Totk could very likely take place 5 years later, I feel like 2 or 3 makes more sense.
i keep going back to that first teaser trailer and how much was dropped. The don dons are totally a reference to this teaser and the fact that "zelda was seen with a new type of animal" Since the section with Link and Zelda using the Don don to travel into the depths below the castle was cut they just added them in one space as a special easter egg/ quest. You can also see that the "cave paintings" in the trailer were replaced by the stone slab mosaic walls in the actual games
The two big missing piece for me personally are the gerudo disgusie and the ancient armor, i get neither really serve a purpose but they are just armor, you think it would be easy to just put them in the chest somewhere in the world and just let players get them.
I feel a few more enemies , specifically regional ones could’ve been added. Gibdos are great but they’re the only regional enemies besides regional forms of other enemies. Just a little more variety
I was really hoping for dodongos in death mountain area, bigger octoroks in the open ocean, actual redeads in depths, leevers in the desert, tektites in zora's domain and rivers, etc. That would have made the over world more diverse imo.
You can make your own musical instrument, by using the Spike Devices and placing them at different angles, you effect the pitch made by hitting them with a Laser Device. There's already some amazing examples of music made like this out there 🎵
imagine a fishing rune to replace the map rune you throw out a hook that automatically attaches to items it hits, then pulls them back to Link if it’s an item you can pick up, it goes into your inventory, if not, it drops to your feet maybe can even be used to steal weapons from weaker enemies
It does make sense that like, the guardians and divine beasts would be dismantled. They (especially the guardians) terrorized Hyrule for quite a while before Link woke up, and I'm sure people wouldn't be comfortable having them around. I'm still a bit confused about the shrines and towers too. The popular theory is that they went back underground, but it'd be neat if you could find them in the depths, now defunct. I have no problem with the lack of Sheikah tech, but a simple explanation, even just 1 sentence from Purah at the beginning, would have been nice to see
Kass: I'd suspect that given he's a bird of travel, he'd heard about the sandstorm in Gerudo, the lightning storm over Necluda, the sludge in Zora's Domain, and the weird stuff happening in Goron City. Combined with the storm over Rito Village, he decided to get his wife and kids, pack up shop, and get the heck out of town for a bit. He knows Link is fully trained to handle whatever this crap is gonna be and he wants no part of it. Besides, that upstart pelican from the newspaper seemed to be all too keen to fly around, let him have it. Sheikah tech: the leading theories are either a) that the towers and shrines retracted back into the ground and the Divine Beasts deactivated, since we know that they were designed only to raise up in the presence of the Calamity. What we can't explain yet is where the Beasts went, because even deactivated (Zelda mentions Vah Ruta stopped working at the end of BotW), they would surely be still where they were left. That leads to b) Zelda ordered them to be dismantled, to prevent them being used by the Calamity when it rose again. Or the third theory c) is that the four shrines on the Great Plateau all sit in the same spot where the chasms are now, suggesting they fell in - but that doesn't explain the rest of them disappearing. *BELOW BE SPOILERS - CONTINUE AT OWN RISK!* The Triforce: My theory is that the Triforce isn't present in the game because Ganondorf doesn't have his piece it when he attacked Rauru. He doesn't have the Triforce of Power, but he takes and corrupts a Secret Stone, the which means the Triforce itself is intact - as we all know, the Triforce splits itself apart any time someone without balance or purity touches it, and that results in the pieces going to Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf. If he doesn't have his piece, neither do the other two. That's why Zelda was missing her Sealing Power for BotW until the very end - no Triforce of Wisdom because the whole thing was still intact and chilling in the Light Realm or wherever it likes to be these days.
not really "missing", just something i wish they would add in.....let me pay off a korok or hestu in some way to get a hint about where a korok seed is in the world. im still at 997 and cant find the last 3 >.
There's a bit of armor you can get that will indicate when you're near a korok. A lifesaver when you want to find them yourself without resulting to looking it up.
@@doubleohnine They feel really well hidden in this game. I'm missing most of the aky island ones. And the ones with the wooden platforms you have to hit.
I think, because I began my gaming life with the original Final Fantasy in 1991, and have been a fan of the series since, that I do not need anything from a previous title. Enemies, Moogles, Chocobos, and certain NPC names (Cid) are used through the titles.....but they are never used the same way. So for me.....absolutely nothing is missing from the game. And there is a Guardian, and Shieka tech in the game. The Guardian is on top of the Shieka lab, and the tech is in the towers and right in front of Purah's door. But my head said it was (kinda) explained that they destroyed the tech as a precaution to Gannon taking it over again.
Bruh, screw revali, I got fricken rocket shields now! Or springs. Or a bomb shield hop. Or octorock balloons. Or hotair ballons. Or hoverbikes/flying machines. We have like 20 ways to go up now, revalis gale would be pretty redundant with all these options tbh. The only champion ability I'd even consider would be urbosas fury, and honestly, better of without it, it was way to fricken strong.
5:36 Imagine if they'd been secretly deconstructed and whoever took all the parts built one MASSIVE Divine Beast that's been hidden in the depths. You go to the location and awaken it and it rips out from the depths and freely roams and rampages around the kingdom and Link has to chase after and get inside to find a way to stop it. Whilst it's still roaming around Hyrule. It would also tie into the idea of contraptions. Like possibly the Yiga could've been behind it since they're actively trying to build with Zonai devices. It could be that they Frankenstein the beasts together WITH Zonai parts. I know that sounds a bit ridiculous but my jaw would drop if we got something like that. To have the most important places of the last game culminate into something truly magnificent.
2:51 oh and the temple bosses lol Great video, my first thought was kass, and then the backstory of what exactly happened to all the shiekah tech between games. I did grow fond of Penn and loved his reference to Kass, but I feel like that was a missed opportunity to have a quest to find him or even just clues of what happened to them. Could’ve just been hidden journal entries describing his own journey. It bothered me he left his children behind. I wanted an instrument, but I did appreciate the great fairy side quest involving many different instruments that heroes and sages past have played. I would’ve loved a swimming mechanic akin to that of N64 Majora’s Mask controls, even at a great sacrifice of stamina, would’ve been so smooth. I didn’t even notice durians were gone until you mentioned it lol 😂 also I think you get a little more height from the pine cones than from the gale? Not sure but seems like a fair trade, just not as convenient as a single button press Personally, I think the MINish *were* in it…just in a very different form than we’d seen from them. Maybe they just hadn’t shrunk in size yet….or maybe they had grown people-sized? Back me up MINeru, who knows more about their long eared, tail-having, magic and tech wielding (including pilot-able constructs) people than any other? The people who have kept the kinstones-I mean secret stones-that were capable of *fusing* them? More questions about the Zonai than ever. Can’t wait for the theory vids!
In the hidden Purah diaries it said all the sheikah technology have been disassembled because after the calamity so they didn’t want to go through that again
What else is "missing" in your opinion? Could it make a return via DLC? 👀

Ancient Weapons 😅
Bean seller. Bean seller is my favorite character in the Zelda franchise and was unfortunately only in 2 games, those being ocarina of time and majora’s mask. He sells beans, but there are no beans in Totk. I want a dlc similar to the durian idea explaining why beans are gone.
I honestly hope that if they add the Minish, that they will also add the Four Sword as special Weapon to use, I see tons of Potential in it for puzzles and so on in TotK
a magic meter and magic in genral also i would love to see more rooms open to us for our house building
@@Defender1876I feel like the battery acts somewhat like the magic meter, so I don’t think we’ll get one, but that would be really cool.
Hearty foods are rarer in TotK than BotW because link single handedly over harvested every kind of them, making the durians fully extinct and the rest endangered 😊
The Hearty Lizards seems to be doing fine though, I notice them way more often than in BotW
Hilarious explanation, I love it.
@@FIamestalker
Beedle sells them because he loves animals.
He saved them (unless link buys them)
Lol
looking at the farming machines in TotK, I'm pretty sure the next game in the Zelda universe is gonna be everyone frantically trying to save the environment after Link collects *everything*. welcome to the Industrial Revolution, Hyrule....... ^^;
I think Kass is mentioned when Penn goes searching for a mysterious bard when you eventually complete the News paper side quest. I can see this evolving into a possible dlc side quest.
He is. You can find Penn at the south end of Washa’s Bluff at the top of a mushroom tree thing. He talks about a bard who studied the songs of the land from that spot.
There used to be woolly rhinos in the Tabantha region in BotW. I have yet to encounter one in TotK... I hope they didn't go extinct.
I didn't even notice they disappeared. Just another unexplained change to add to the list.
I noticed a lot of the animals that potentially drop gourmet meat seem to be more rare in ToTK. I think its to make it more difficult/prevent the player from farming gourmet meat.
@@devilrider39000000 I don’t think there that rare
@@devilrider39000000 I have seen some animals in hebra drop 2 gourmet meat
@@devilrider39000000
There’s still the vendor in Gerudo Town that sells Roasted Gourmet Meat
I wish there were more npcs/travelers exploring the sky and depths
Yiga in the depths, It doesn't make sense for anybody to be up in the sky islands as much besides the Sages with Link in the temples
@@byksEBM yeah your absolutely right
@@byksEBM There is a Zora who briefly journeys to wellspring island during a certain quest.
@@byksEBM how about more constructs?
@@byksEBM The yiga clan stuff and other npcs In the 2 new layers was one of my favorite aspects of the game they were just fare and few in-between and I would have liked there to be more stuff. It’s a little thing but after the zora quest a zora swims up the waterfall to the sky to fish for the fish only found in the sky, there’s no quest or anything special but just seeing people in these new areas flesh’s out the world and I wish there was more stuff like that.
I don't see why the developers would remove Kass. I'm sure they knew how loved by the fans he is, so removing it just doesn't make any sense, unless they are building up the hype to make a great comeback of kass in a dlc and I do think and hope that happens
Making him absent to turn him into a legend
At the end of the Lucky glover gazette questline, Penn goes to washas bluff and just stands there saying he's looking for a "legendary bard"
@@sodaman5465 yeah, maybe he will find him in a dlc
@@hatti... thats what I meant by "building up the hype"
If Kass isn't in the DLC I'm not buying lol
16:18 i feel that the champions gave thier abilities to link while their spirits were still in hyrule, at the end of BotW they seemingly moved on, likely taking the source of thier abilities with them as they do.
I feel *this* is why link doesnt have the champion abilities in TotK, plus if he did the sages would be largely not needed in the arching story.
Agreed, I figured something similar
I mean when you use revalis gale you see him fly around you, I found it less like link HAD their abilities and more like they were using their abilities FOR him, much like the sages in TOTK :)
I had this idea of a zone The Sheikah Junkyard. There was no need for the sheikah tech anymore since they defeated calamity ganon. So they removed all the stuff and put it in an empty zone somewhere in hyrule. Now imagine discovering this zone in TotK with endless parts of the divine beasts, guardians, shrines and towers laying around and at some point gloom forms a Transformer out of the sheikah tech parts and it's a epic bossfight.
how is it possible that literally any thoughts about tokt are incapable of not being accompanied by ideas of cool things that could have been done with the game to make it interesting in any capacity
I do love the new caves in this game, but there are some missed opportunities involving them. Mainly the ones under Akkala Citadel and Spectacle Rock. There’s a cave entrance right where the entrance to Akkala Citadel used to be, and when I saw that I was excited to be able to explore the ruins of Akkala Citadel’s interior… but it’s just another cave. It also would’ve been sick to see some ruins reminiscent of Zelda 1’s final dungeon under Spectacle Rock, but that one’s also just another cave. There are some cool and unique caves in this game, I just wish these two were as well.
We need the Hero's Shade armor in game as an armor set there's a bunch of other armors that should be added in as well. But yes we above all else need cats in the game
Bring back the hidden skills, the combat in BOTW/TOTK feels so stale.
@@derrickdaniels3955It's experimental and tactical gameplay more than combat. I love combat more than the crazy gimmicks, but I guess the devs really wanted people to do something other than swing a sword around.
I kind of wanted more optional dungeons. Like there are 152 shrines, they could've taken away 20 and made another dungeon. Speaking of dungeons, i wish some of them required small keys to get through to some areas like the older games as well.
yes that!! we see it in some shrines so the concept is there so wtf?
The zonai mazes kinda felt like extra dungeons to me
Okay but then that'd be sacrificing another 4 hearts/stamina pieces, leaving Link with even less hearts/stamina than the fully available 38. Being off by 2 segments/hearts is already something some people (like me) don't enjoy because of wanting it to be full and even. If I were to do it I'd say maybe take away 4 shrines for a dungeon, that way the maximum amount at least stays the same, or take away 16 shrines and the with a heart from the dungeon the max would be either 35 hearts+3 stamina wheels or 40 hearts and 2 stamina wheels.
I would love, in the future, to have optional mini-dungeons (as opposed to the micro-dungeons that shrines are) that give you optional (traditional) secondary items that can help, but never be required, for puzzle-solving in the rest of the world, and/or some unique weapons, and your choice of Heart Container or Stamina Vessel after beating a boss, even if those bosses aren't unique, at the cost of removing a few shrines here and there to make up for the lack of whatever macguffin you need four of to exchange after completing shrines otherwise. They could be as big as something like Ikana Castle from Majora's Mask at their largest, maybe a tiny bit bigger.
The perfect hybrid between old and new 3D Zeldas *can* exist, it's just a matter of whether or not they decide to go that route and put in the time and effort.
I mean, technically speaking, almost everything in this game IS optional (in a sense), which is something that I've always felt will make it very hard if not impossible to truly make it feel like the older, more self contained titles.
But I do get where you're coming from
I am missing Kass 😭
HIS DAUGHTERS ARE THERE BUT WHERE IS KASS??? 😭😭😭
@CaptBurgerson exactly! Pretty sure his wife is also still around - and he said in BotW he decided to go home and spend time with his family and now he just DIPPED AGAIN??
Kass isn’t around? My day just keeps getting worse.
He might’ve went outside of hyrule
Who else is gone? Vilia, and the Gerudo outfit he sold, seem to be gone. Does this mean Nali and Pritana will just never speak to us again?
What about Branli? I personally haven't seen him. I've seen Pondo, another former minigame host, but not the bird man lover himself.
I definitely want to know what the developers originally intended for the Dondons. Obviously they had a larger part in the game at some point before it got cut. My personally theory is that they were supposed to be your main form of transportation in the depths and would have been able to scale minor inclines but the devs ran out of time to either program or animate them
I don't know how they ran out of time when they had a whole year for "polish"
I think they were just useless since you already have stal horses, zonai devices and mineru
Maybe the dondons were the main mode of depths transport before they came up with the zonai devices or fully implemented them, which made them irrelevant.
They only just sit there and are part of a side adventure the size of a side quest.
They legit crap out Zonite ore and gemstones when you feed them Luminous stones, it works kind of like the hateno farming and im not sure exactly how long it takes and if the gems are rarer types the more stone you feed them. But whenever im out collecting bananas in the Faron jungles I stop to collect gems and ore and feed the dondons before I head off.
Its actually really useful and its sort of a bit of a "you miss the info if you dont pay attention" since you only learn about it by trying to take the gems off the table, the caretaker NPC is kind of a ditz since all she says is to be nice to them and that they really like Zelda
There are nitpicky things that i wish were there like the inside of Akkala Citadel being not just a regular cave, or more than four dungeons, or just a few little classic enemies to truly shake up the lineup of foes.
But most importantly, I wish Ganondorf and the Depths had more focus in the story. I have no problem with how he was characterized and portrayed, but I wish we had more time to spend with him. This isn’t my idea, but memories from Ganondorf's perspective would go a long way for helping us understand him and his relationship with Hyrule, the Gerudo, etc. These memories would fit perfectly in the depths, not as geoglyphs but perhaps something guarded by an enemy, to make chasing his story more dangerous than Zelda.
Then there's the Depths itself. Truly one of the most fascinating places in the series, with almost no explanation. Why does it mirror Hyrule? Why are there mines under settlements that didnt exist until recently? Why do the Yiga say the walls look artificial? Why are there dragon skeletons in the exact spots as the surface ones? None of these mysteries are explained, and it leads me to believe that there will be an eventual DLC focusing on the Depths.
There are more than four dungeons. Clearly, you haven’t gotten the 5th sage, or gone to the top of Hyrule Castle yet.
@@catalyst539 The depots aren't really dungeons.
Unless you're talking about the spirit temple.. which you definitely aren't.
Hyrule castle has a dungeon map, and that's about it. You can go there any time in the game and fight some basic enemies. Not a dungeon, really.
The construct factory and the road to the spirit temple are definitely a dungeon
Obviously, The Depths are the reformation of Lowrule.
The lightning bug quest it one of my alltime favorites. It's so sweet. Also, for me the frog outfit more than makes up for Revalis Gale being removed.
I wish they would have shown people/Zonai living in the sky (even if it was just in memories)- also I feel like we did not get enough time getting to know Sonia
Given that the final ending of BotW literally shows Zelda talking about how Vah Ruta is acting up, it's so wild that NOTHING is mentioned in this game
True! I originally thought that the cave was Vah rutah. That was probably stupid, but maybe the insides fell apart, and it went really dark.
I think it says somewhere in the game that all the sheikah tech, including the divine beasts, were broken down and used to make the skyview towers so that Ganon couldn’t take control of them in the future.
It did! I'm pretty sure when you first go to lookout landing is when they tell you about it
I feel like a Lot of people either skipped or forgot all the dialogue from the introduction sequence once they got to the main gameplay portion
Yup you’re 100% right. But how cool would it have been if they left the beasts as ruins to explore and have their helms as a reward instead of them just being in caves
I was so convinced we’d find the divine beasts buried somewhere that I spent way more time than I’d like to admit scanning each and every chasm for some sign of one of them peaking out after I realized the depths don’t have anything related to them besides the end game fuse material. I was so convinced that could have been a realistic way they’d have done it but alas, nothing.
Yes bits of them in the depths would have been such a natural way to give the precious game a nod without getting in the way of game play. They could have done that for the sheika shrines, too. Just peaking out in the depths.
I don't know how far you have gotten, but I personally would love a theory on the final shrine of light reward
Eventually! 👀
@@HyruleGamer oooo I'm excited. I've been trying to find theories on it but no one has been talking about it. For spoiler reasons, I assume.
I’m scared I’ve been trying to avoid the reward from all shrines, all lightroots, and mainly all korok seeds.
Then there's the reward for fixing the Goddess Statue that's a headscratcher, as well
I’d like to have a canon explanation about the three dragons and who they were, how & why they decided to become dragons.
Nice video! Tears of the Kingdom is a fantastic game, but there is definitely some stuff that is missing. I agree with everything that you said, and I definitely miss Kass the most. The quests he gave in BOTW were really fun to do in my opinion.
Yup
Thank you!
@Hyrule Gamer its still in nintendo's heads look on Sonia's arm the trifoce Symbol
If the Divine Beasts can disappear from existence without an explanation, the Minish sure as heck can _appear_ without an explanation. Make it happen Nintendo!
I wish there was more dungeons. I felt like they had had a chance to do that. With the temple of time and with the spirit temple.
Well when you think about it, the Construct Factory and Spirit Temple are basically 1 dungeon
I thought the construction factory was build up to a dungeon because. The things you have to do to get there was little to nothing.
The factory was just a compilation of shrines. Almost all the temples minus the lightning one felt like cheap imitation dungeons again. Hyrule castle remains as the definitive dungeons that doesn’t get explored as much in totk.
@@joesavag huge dungeons that take hours to complete don't fit with the open world that you can put hundreds of hours into already
Edit: and they're leagues better than the Divine Beasts with clear themes and differing bosses
I can imagine the reason they didn't include any sort of fishing rod is because they didn't want to have the player remake the rod over and over again just to fish.
Thought, I can imagine how the fishing rod can work.
Light fishing rod
Att: 4 dur: 10
A light weight fishing rod which is used to catch fish, just attach a bait to the rod and throw it into the water to catch. Some bait attracts different fish.
Hunting rod
Att: 20 dur: 40
A extendable line used to catch large animals and birds. Place a lure into the cage to attract the animal, then attack to snag them. Different bait works for different animals.
Monster trap (a special award for the bubbel quest)
Att: 60 dur: 100
A special trap designed to snare monsters, place the bait into the cage, then activate to entrap the monster. Different monsters use different baits. Works on large monsters but only traps their foot
I wish we could have had a fight with demon king ganondorf with him on his gloom powered horse just like twilight princess. We see him in a cutscene with a super cool horse. The whole final battle is great just Adding that in the final fight will truly test everything you do in totk 👍🏻
That horse is like Diomedes from Bayonetta 2, it has a horn blade, would have been cool to fight it.
It's interesting how there's these giant horses, yet no enemies use em in TOTK.
I thought Phantom Gannon or armored enemies were the closest to resemble Darknuts. However those don't attack like Link.
Realistically, they are. Darknuts don't actually attack "like Link", they don't have the same attacks as Link. That's Dark Link. In fact, his description of them mostly comes just from TP. If you look at the way they are in other games, Phantom Ganon fits. A lot better than they fit other Phantom Ganons in past games.
@Hyrule Gamer
Purah has a Diary entry talking about that the Shiekah disassembled their tech so it could NEVER be used against the Kingdom ever again.
(Also, it's about 8 to 10 years between BotW and TotK.)
I think we need a deeper "Depths" area as DLC...
EVERYTHING of the Surface is reflected in the Depths, so where are the inverted Sky Islands?...
Something like the "Core" or the "Void". The last 32 Shrines are reflected on islands so far under the Depths, we're nearing the Core of the Planet(?) so there's lava sea under the islands(?)...
This would come with the reflection of the Great Sky Island being the "Great Shadow Temple", we could get 4 Sage's Wills for the Shadow Sage, and 8 new Shrines to Maximize Hearts + Stamina!
*The Core Islands would need an enemy exclusive to the Area... since the Zonai have been here, there's a Flux III in the Temple, where the Flux I is on the Great Sky Island, but besides the Flux, I think the arena islands could be home to Dark Knights/Knuckles/Knuts?...*
@@gabriellockwood2780 I had that void idea also regarding what they could do for DLC. Would be amazing, but I also feel unlikely. I fear they'll just toss some more items in at random locations and call that a day, like with one of the BotW DLCs that just added Misko treasures to random spots.
You can dye Link's hair with certain outfits...
EXCEPT the Yiga Outfit, WTF
That's how they identify you for some Side Quests-"Blond Hair! You're Link!"
I hope they put in some more challenging dungeons. Something's missing about all the micro dungeons in BOTW and TOTK

I honestly think that there is still so much stuff they can do not just for DLC, but for the next 3D zelda game. I know it's early to think about it and stuff, but it has been on my mind a lot lately!
The triforce not being there was big let down because of ganondorf i was hoping the triforce was in the game
They seemed to get rid of the triforce at the end of botw
@@R1IY2N you literally can't the triforce if it is like the other triforce in link between worlds it would be the very foundation of the world if it goes so will the whole world gradually
The poe, one of my favourites enemy. They really turned them into some kind of money lmao 😭
Just imagine a secret sidequest with those strange mages/statues from the depths where you free them but they are actually a secret boss "Poe brothers" like the poe sisters from ocarina, that would be sick
And we've been feeding them this whole time...
The poes in this game are souls, not ghosts.
and they arent even hard to collect and they respawn
I think Hookshot would’ve been awesome. I can just imagine the Doom Eternal Meathook Shenanigans Link would be doing in Hyrule. Plus Halo Infinite Traversal with the grappling hook.
Rivali‘s Gail is not needed because he could just make a rocket shield and there’s also The ascend rune
Rocket shield isn't the same
14:00 this sounds great as something you could do soon following saving her, because it could be her basically explaining what happened but YOU do the whole thing
Moza, found near "Ishto Soh" Shrine in Gerudo Highlands has completed her "Ultimate dish". It turns out Kass was the main ingredient, perfect ingredient for the perfect dish.
Omg the Hearty Durians... I finally got to that cliffside right by the Faron Tower where i used to farm them near the 2 owl statues (cool stuff in the depths right underneath them btw) but i CAN'T BELIEVE they were all gone!
A dungeon in the forgotten temple that holds the triforce would be sick.
That'd be cool!
The question is where.
We don't actually know where is the triforce in the botw and totk time.
Its not in the temple of time and neither link or ganondorf seem to have a part. Maybe zelda has it full power?
Hearing you mention wanting a new dlc area immediately reminded me of Fallout New Vegas, the DLCs would suddenly add something not originally there in the base game that allows you to access a whole new area, but what I do hope would come true is DLC maps taking you to Holodrum and Labrynna, those two games have big maps (especially Holodrum) and it would be fun to have Labrynna utilize the depths as a way to make up the lack of time travel, having the past shown in the depths, perhaps Holodrum can have some manipulation using the already existing elemental items, it would be a big stretch, but it would be amazing to see those games in 3D, especially because both maps have tall structures and mountains, climbing would definitely make those maps a joy to explore.
The Divine Beasts are the thing that bothers me the most. There's practically nothing saying whether they were dismantled or destroyed by Ganodorf. I know there are people who don't like them, but I loved this "Colossus" and wanted to see them again. 😐
In the extended ending of BoTW, Zelda mentioned the Divine Beast Vah Ruta stopped funtioning; Perhaps all 4 divine beasts 'died' after fullfilling their purpose of destorying Calamity Ganon, that may be the reason they are not in ToTK.
As such, rather than destroyed by Ganondorf, they are more likely to be dismantled or as least moved to somewhere else, afterall it is quite dangerous to leave the 'dead' giants on the mountains.
Imagine if Nintendo is actually making a DLC where you're exploring a different land with Kass where all the missing ennemies mentioned are there.
Would be very nice of their part.
Maybe I'm just being too serious about everything but I think why the lack of triforce and other staple conventions of Zelda lore are starting to bother me and others is because what they're putting in their place doesn't resonate as much. I won't give examples for the sake of spoilers but for a game that reminds almost everyone of Skyward Sword, TotK sure feels to me like it went out of it's way to basically nullify SS's entire story.
One thing my brother mentioned with the inclusion of wells is a boss like Deadhand- not sure how it would fit in lore-wise, but to have a singular boss designated in one of the many wells in this game would have been a super cool, and have me scared to jump down other wells, lol
POTENTIAL SPOILER WARNING!!!

The thing I found missing was the continued omission of the Triforce. It’s has been such a hinge for the the series since it’s inception that having nothing more than a subliminal, passing nod is unacceptable honestly.
I'd like to add the ancient saddle and bridle... Even though the ultrahand vehicles makes up for it since we can build things anywhere, I totally miss it since we can upgrade our horses but we can't teleport them to where we are.
@Hyrule Gamer I hope for dlc they add even more sky islands and enemies. Maybe add a ruined skyloft that’s super high up, also let link play a guitar.😅
I think we need a DLC talking about how The Shieka clearly stole the Divine Beasts, as the ancient sages all wear masks that look like one of the beasts. Looking at a lot of their tech, I get the feeling the Shieka stole a lot of things. Really, when you look at some of the things we knew of the Zonai (the barbarian armor was considered one of our first hints of the Zonai tribe) they were treated more as savages. What happened? Why do we only ever meet two of them? Something is wrong here, and I NEED to know why. I feel like it could be used to explore what happened to all the Shieka ruins as well...
this game is absolutely amazing....but the return of the triforce was one of my biggest hopes for this game. I was hoping that the secret stones would end up being pieces of the triforce of courage before TOTK launched.
TotK’s Secret Stones seem to be equivalent to OoT’s Sage Medallions, so IDK why so many people expected them to be the Triforce. Personally, I think the Triforce is there, even if we don’t see it directly.
I would love being able to interact with your horse on a more complex level. Petting, walking/leading your horse by holding the reins while not mounted which would help in getting your horse around certain obstacles it really doesn't want to go through, etc. There was a lot of things they could have done to make the horses feel more like companions in my opinion.
Dark Link was also missing and the new 'dungeons' feel incomplete and were a slight let down. Half were in a good format but were just too short and the other half getting there was really the main part of the dungeon but they didn't announce you were in one until the final part of it. Overall, they were a bit lacking. It might be not being able to unlock new abilities while in a dungeon to solve the current puzzle, it was such a big part of the zelda series. There wasn't really any barriers in this format so that might have contributed to the watered down feeling..
There's just something about Dark Link that makes him intimidating if he became an enemy. Parrying attacks, precise bow shots, utilizing fusion mechanics, and just becoming a menace for anyone who hasn't mastered Link's abilities.
Fishing mini-game. Minish. Playable Instruments. I thought they'd have put a unique green Tunic in for this game. DARK LINK!
Dark Link was only ever in two games.
Man I love the direction that this version of Zelda is going in tears of the kingdom is everything I hoped it would be for waiting for 6 years
The hearty blue sea snail is also gone. I was searching all over the beaches for it wondering how it had become so rare, I thought I needed it for a few seafood recipes. Turns out they’ve changed those recipes that needed the blue shell snail. I only figured out it was gone gone when I was filling my compendium and noticed there wasn’t a slot for it in there
Durians were removed, not because they were too OP, but because they were too common. They were literally EVERYWHERE in the Faron region. There was a great spot next to Faron Tower that we used to use for farming, that had about 16 Durians.
However, we have no need of them when the FABS/FABT glitch exists. Food Ability Buff Swap/Transfer. Doesn’t work on 1.1.2.
Edit: Octoroks do more than polish weapons; they also repair and give modifiers to weapons.
Edit 2: Tingle is in TotK. He just got fat and grew taller, and now wears a mask and is clad in red. That’s right, Master Kohga is Tingle.
I enjoyed the game but I feel like there were a few quality of life things they could do. I agree a fishing pole even just as a low tier weapon with a distance grab ability similar to the boomerang would have been really cool. Especially considering how the weapons were all degraded it would have been neat if they had played off that more and made you get creative with what could be fused. Like maybe instead of just using degraded weapons you were forced to use stuff like brooms and fishing poles etc more commonly.
Another thing that bugged me was the house building mechanic. It’s a cool idea but could easily be expanded on significantly. First off if I’m going to be running around the whole world picking flowers I want to be able to plant them in my yard. Same with fish in the pond and stuff like that. Also I wish the assets in the house were more customizable. Like let me just build the framework of the house then place stands and chests in it how I want. Also there needs to be armor stands. And the house parts limit needs to be higher and preferably nonexistent.
And finally while the building autohand mechanic and stuff is cool and led to lots of funny meme stuff; ultimately it felt forced to me. 90% of what you actually need to build stuff for could have been replaced with a Hookshot and maybe like a handheld balloon tool similar to the glider that just lifts you up. Idk but it didn’t seem necessary except when it was intentionally made to be. It felt like more of a chore to spend 30 minutes building and testing a boat just to get me across a lake or something instead of just some clever game play that usually resorted to anyway after building pissed me off enough times.
Also it still bugs me that in the only Zelda games where you are constantly forced to climb they refuse to give us the damn Hookshot. It just doesn’t make any sense to me. They had the excuse in BOTW that it would make traveling to easy but then turn around in TOTK and give us a whole mechanic used to cheese the game.
Sorry for the rant I still really enjoyed it and spent more time that I should have beating it. This is just some of the stuff that got under my skin while playing.
P.S. I also really want a Skull Kid outfit. Potentially with an ability that allows you wander the lost woods. I just think that would be really cool. Especially since there isn't really a Korok style outfit. I guess unless you count Links OG style.
Also Cece could be expanded on a lot by having more variations on armor pieces similar to the Hood. Potentially combining things stylistically to create "fused" armor pieces. For example Majoras Mask + Skull Kid Hat = Both at the same time.
P.P.S The Mogma and Dodongos should have been living in the Depths below the Volcano. The Poes should have been enemies not just money.
I wanted even more enemy types. More regions needed unique enemies like moldugas in the desert. I guess frox are basically dodongos, but skulltulas, deku babas, actual poes, the centipedes & moths from WW, a few leftover guardians…
IMO, despite the story being grand, I think they avoided the Triforce in these two because the relic is a little too OP, and would have just been out of place beside the Zonai Stones. It's like a tactical nuke being used against one extremely buff ginger man.
What we need is a revamp of the happiness / malice crystals from SS. They could make a few side quests where you get them, but a primary reason for them could be - let's say we get a zonai device capable of breaking down materials and equipment. Certain materials could be turned into happiness crystals, weapons and armor that you don't want could be broken down into malice crystals. This way nothing is wasted, and you don't have to feel bad for dropping a weapon or Shield or bow on the ground and leaving it behind. What the Gratitude or malice crystals could be used for, well I'm open to suggestions on that.
As a ginormous Revali fan, thank you for mentioning him, it really made my night. Especially since the game seemed hell bent on erasing him completely 😭
Just take a pic of the Great Eagle Bow on Tulin's back and it mentions him right there.
The full triforce is definitely visible on Zelda’s hand in one of the last dragon tear memories (or the last, can’t remember)
Imagine along with our house we can also adopt a puppy and raise it into a dog. Then it could venture with us and help us find treasure etc.
8:20 This as a Hi-Fi Rush Zelda Spinoff
10:50 With the new Gameplay style, BOTW and TOTK would more be Souls Clones and less the the Games that they are now.
14:25 It isn't missing, it just isn't named fully. Just look at many Zonai things and you can see it.
16:08 But there are Rocket Shields
7:30 I would argue that the Totk gimdos where merge between gibbons and redeads
The only real thing that's missing is a connection to Breath of the Wild. I know Nintendo likes to make the Zelda games stand alone titles without needing to play previous titles, but there are things that could be done to tie in BotW. For example the Shrine of Resurrection is just a simple cave that vaguely resembles it's past self. They should've made it a massive gutted out cave including the big elevator shaft and divine beast rooms, with bits and pieces still there. Also there's a lot of people that seem like they don't know me when they should. I'm starting to feel like the arm pulled me into an alternate timeline in the beginning of the game.
I feel like Nintendo made it so most ppl don’t know link so it’s less confusing for newer players
@@R1IY2N I get that but there's tons of games set in a world where the player's character is already well known to the NPCs , not just sequels either
i remember video showcases displaying fauna and flora existing below the water surface in BOTW but blocked within the frustum of the game while watching from above. since then, i truly hoped we'd get some underwater action, moreso since the full zora armor didn't provide any good benefit at all, which might have changed if we had a more 3D space to work with together with some iron boots to explore lakes or zoras dam.
also, in the old trailers of TOTK we saw Zelda riding on (likely) Dongos in the underground, which was changed for some reasons (likely terrain design) in the actual release. we do encounter the friendly dongos in the game but there's not much to do here at all.
Kass is mentioned at one point but it’s very obscure. After you finish the Lucky Clover Gazette quest line if you go back to their headquarters you’re told Penn has gone off to Hyrule Ridge. If you go there you can find Penn at the Rito style house on one of those giant tree/lily pad things (don’t know the name). He mentions that there was a great bard who found himself there and that he’s will embark on a similar quest of self discovery. Super obscure and not nearly enough Kass.
I really hope you read this comment Hyrule Gamer - it would make my day! Just btw, it's long, but I gaurentee you it's interesting. I've been having a "brain eruption" of ideas for a future DLC/new Zelda game:
Without going into too much detail, I would like to see a DLC that... well, for one FINALLY allows us to pet dogs - I mean, come on Nintendo, you know we all want it. But it could go much further, as far as to give us secret quest lines. It would be interesting to have personal quests such as we did in Majora's mask, ones that we have come close to in TOTK. But it would need to be something fun or emotional or intense - something like that Anju and Kafai(I hope I spelled that right) quest line. When I completed that quest in Majora's Mask, I felt like I was going to cry because it was so beautiful and heart warming, while at the same time it became really intense trying to same his mask before it was lost forever. TOTK should have a DLC that expands with quest lines that keep the players engaged.
Secondly, they should give players new abilities in a future DLC. Similarly to how Breath of the Wild gave us the Master Cycle Zero, I would like to see them give us a new ability or mechanic that is just as fun. Even just bringing the Master Cycle back through a trial quest line would be good enough for me. But this time the could make it a vehicle that transforms for different biomes, such as a snow ski, a sand crawler, and an off-road bike. But I just hope they can bring more to the game to keep us occupied
As for a future game(#3 for this story line), I believe they should expand on Hyrule and give us a new villain. New characters(i.e. Yona) have come from distant lands, and old ones(i.e. Kass) have gone off to a distant land. What if in a future Zelda game Kass could return along with another Zora(someone from Yona's land) and warn the residents of Hyrule that something is coming - a great danger that will plague the land of Hyrule once again.
Long story short, a great evil arises from the ashes of Hyrule, and no matter how long or how hard Link, Zelda, and the warrior of Hyrule fight against it, it can't be stopped... or can it.
Link and Zelda set off on an adventure to find the source of this great evil, meanwhile the sages and other leaders of Hyrule protect their people. Link and Zelda will come across the villain who is causing this chaos and attempt to stop him, but fail. In the fight, link is defeated, and whenever he awakens he has been imprisoned. Upon escaping, he searches for a way to stop this evil and find Zelda.
After a long adventure, link grows stronger, gains many allies, and heads on his way to destroy the darkness that plagues the land. He eventually succeeds... but he doesn't. It is only then that he realizes that the villain he'd spent all of his time fighting was a puppet for the one who has devastated Hyrule from the beginning - Ganon.
Link continues his journey in hopes of finding Ganon, and he uncovers more about Zelda's whereabouts; however, he does not find her. In the end, he and Ganon face off for the final time in Hyrulian history. In this grand finale, Zelda returns and assists Link in his fight against Ganon. In the fight, Zelda is mortally wounded. Ganon is about to lay the final blows to her, but just then Link jumps in and slashes his Master Sword at the demon king. Weakened, he disappears.
Link rushes to Zelda's aid, but realizes there is nothing more he can do for her. [WARNING: Cringe Alert!]With her last breaths, [Okay, you asked for it] she kisses link, and the power of the goddess flows through to him. She falls faint in his arms, and he mourns over her as the thundering rain falls. He face up as his blade flashes, this time much brighter than ever before. He picks it up, and the fury in his eyes foretell of his fate.
He hunts down Ganon, and they duel once more. In the fight, Link lays down many weakening blows to the beast. Ganon fills with rage as he fights the hero, and as the fight continues the two grow even stronger and more determined. Link finally realizes there is only one way to end the curse of Demise, and in a shocking turn of events Ganon's blade pierces through Link's chest. Just as all hope seems lost, Link rises from his knees and thrust the Master Sword into the demon king. Over and over, his blade slashes, and finally the beast falls. With a final blow, Link impales Ganon's skull with the blade, and the demon is no more.
As Ganon lies breathless on the cold waterbed, Link slowly limps his way the mountainside and gazes at Hyrule once more. With Zelda in his arms, he places his forehead upon hers and smiles. "I love you too," his speaks softly. He lays beside her, shuts his eyes, and reunites with his true love once more in another world.
The story ends with the burial and mourning of Hyrule over the loss of their beloved princess and the hero of legend. We see the impact if their journey and the peace that fills Hyrule. In the closing scene, the Master Sword is lying beside a silent princess in a beautiful meadow with the beautiful music that Nintendo does so well playing in the background. The screen darkens, and then their is a sparkling flash of light. *Silence*... "THE END.
So, if you had the patience to read through this story book of a Zelda game, do you think this would make for a good game?
I know that this is a very big stretch to ask of Nintendo, but it is definitely something to give them food for thought. I plan to make video on this in the future, but for now, could you tell me your thoughts?
There's a weird hole across from the ladder in the Emergency Shelter that looks like it could house a minish stronghold
something i really miss is the Divine Beasts. while i understand them not playing a significant role, i still wish we saw them deactivated or even dismantled. i would've loved to have seen Rudania deactivated in the volcano, only to fall in and shatter when the Fire Temple opens up, or seeing Naboris on its mountain, head tucked into its side like a real animal, permanently deactivated like the others. would've helped make the 2 games feel connected, while not shoving them into the storyline
Please cover the other dragons and who they were before they ate their secret stones
Ganondorf extinguished the durians 😢
Itd be really kool to see dlc where we can reconnect with our departed champions waifus grace raviolis gales mommys furry and the fire sheild one that was kinda useless. And then refight gloom versions of the blight ganons, and then get a few new secret bosses that are harder to fight.
Kass was my favourite character and is my Nintendo pfp to this day. I think they tried to replace him with Penn as the quest-distributing rito but it's not the same as just doing your galavanting through Hyrule thing when suddenly in the distance you hear the faint sound of accordion. Ngl sometimes I'd just stand there next to him as he played for a bit
Penn actually talks about the famous "Rito Musician" at Washa's Bluff.
I don't remember where, but I remember talking to an NPC that mentioned the Sheika Towers were disassembled and their parts repurposed to build the Sky View Towers. Or maybe it was a journal entry?
Personally, I don't miss fishing.
The Minish may not be present in this game, but there is a forest named after them. My headcanon is that they are there, but we can't see them.
There were definitely times where I missed the Hookshot.
I’m the game it says that death mountain was dormant a couple years ago, so while Totk could very likely take place 5 years later, I feel like 2 or 3 makes more sense.
Mattison, though. She can read and write, there's no way she's less than 5 or 6.
@@keiyakins some kids pick up that stuff fast...
i keep going back to that first teaser trailer and how much was dropped. The don dons are totally a reference to this teaser and the fact that "zelda was seen with a new type of animal"
Since the section with Link and Zelda using the Don don to travel into the depths below the castle was cut they just added them in one space as a special easter egg/ quest.
You can also see that the "cave paintings" in the trailer were replaced by the stone slab mosaic walls in the actual games
The two big missing piece for me personally are the gerudo disgusie and the ancient armor, i get neither really serve a purpose but they are just armor, you think it would be easy to just put them in the chest somewhere in the world and just let players get them.
The blacksmiths' purpose are to forge the champion weapons when you provide them with the right materials.
Dang...
Underwater exploration...
> Like, in OoT and TP
Except TP was much better because you had the Zora Armor and like a trident or something...

@@HyruleGamerBut totk was supposed to be a darker Zelda game. So I would expect some freaky things >:\
I feel a few more enemies , specifically regional ones could’ve been added. Gibdos are great but they’re the only regional enemies besides regional forms of other enemies. Just a little more variety
I was really hoping for dodongos in death mountain area, bigger octoroks in the open ocean, actual redeads in depths, leevers in the desert, tektites in zora's domain and rivers, etc. That would have made the over world more diverse imo.
@@apushman To be fair; Dodongos are meant to be extinct creatures. But then again, Ganondorf’s magic could reanimate them.
You can make your own musical instrument, by using the Spike Devices and placing them at different angles, you effect the pitch made by hitting them with a Laser Device. There's already some amazing examples of music made like this out there 🎵
imagine a fishing rune to replace the map rune
you throw out a hook that automatically attaches to items it hits, then pulls them back to Link
if it’s an item you can pick up, it goes into your inventory, if not, it drops to your feet
maybe can even be used to steal weapons from weaker enemies
Cats joined the demon army, so were exiled from the Kingdom... This is common knowledge and so they thought it could go unsaid...
It does make sense that like, the guardians and divine beasts would be dismantled. They (especially the guardians) terrorized Hyrule for quite a while before Link woke up, and I'm sure people wouldn't be comfortable having them around.
I'm still a bit confused about the shrines and towers too. The popular theory is that they went back underground, but it'd be neat if you could find them in the depths, now defunct.
I have no problem with the lack of Sheikah tech, but a simple explanation, even just 1 sentence from Purah at the beginning, would have been nice to see
You should read Purah's Diary...all of it is explained
11:03 Yes!!! I was talking to someone about Link tumbling/forward roll and don't forget his iconic yell when he does it 😎
Where Is Kass 😭
IKR!
Penn did say there was a famous bard I think he was talking about kass
Kass: I'd suspect that given he's a bird of travel, he'd heard about the sandstorm in Gerudo, the lightning storm over Necluda, the sludge in Zora's Domain, and the weird stuff happening in Goron City. Combined with the storm over Rito Village, he decided to get his wife and kids, pack up shop, and get the heck out of town for a bit. He knows Link is fully trained to handle whatever this crap is gonna be and he wants no part of it. Besides, that upstart pelican from the newspaper seemed to be all too keen to fly around, let him have it.
Sheikah tech: the leading theories are either a) that the towers and shrines retracted back into the ground and the Divine Beasts deactivated, since we know that they were designed only to raise up in the presence of the Calamity. What we can't explain yet is where the Beasts went, because even deactivated (Zelda mentions Vah Ruta stopped working at the end of BotW), they would surely be still where they were left. That leads to b) Zelda ordered them to be dismantled, to prevent them being used by the Calamity when it rose again. Or the third theory c) is that the four shrines on the Great Plateau all sit in the same spot where the chasms are now, suggesting they fell in - but that doesn't explain the rest of them disappearing.
*BELOW BE SPOILERS - CONTINUE AT OWN RISK!*
The Triforce: My theory is that the Triforce isn't present in the game because Ganondorf doesn't have his piece it when he attacked Rauru. He doesn't have the Triforce of Power, but he takes and corrupts a Secret Stone, the which means the Triforce itself is intact - as we all know, the Triforce splits itself apart any time someone without balance or purity touches it, and that results in the pieces going to Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf. If he doesn't have his piece, neither do the other two. That's why Zelda was missing her Sealing Power for BotW until the very end - no Triforce of Wisdom because the whole thing was still intact and chilling in the Light Realm or wherever it likes to be these days.
not really "missing", just something i wish they would add in.....let me pay off a korok or hestu in some way to get a hint about where a korok seed is in the world. im still at 997 and cant find the last 3 >.
There's a bit of armor you can get that will indicate when you're near a korok. A lifesaver when you want to find them yourself without resulting to looking it up.
@@lucretiamacevil362 I've got the korok mask, but the map is huge just for 3 left. I've got my safe file to 98.99%
@@doubleohnine They feel really well hidden in this game. I'm missing most of the aky island ones. And the ones with the wooden platforms you have to hit.
I think, because I began my gaming life with the original Final Fantasy in 1991, and have been a fan of the series since, that I do not need anything from a previous title. Enemies, Moogles, Chocobos, and certain NPC names (Cid) are used through the titles.....but they are never used the same way.
So for me.....absolutely nothing is missing from the game. And there is a Guardian, and Shieka tech in the game. The Guardian is on top of the Shieka lab, and the tech is in the towers and right in front of Purah's door. But my head said it was (kinda) explained that they destroyed the tech as a precaution to Gannon taking it over again.
Bruh, screw revali, I got fricken rocket shields now! Or springs. Or a bomb shield hop. Or octorock balloons. Or hotair ballons. Or hoverbikes/flying machines. We have like 20 ways to go up now, revalis gale would be pretty redundant with all these options tbh. The only champion ability I'd even consider would be urbosas fury, and honestly, better of without it, it was way to fricken strong.
5:36 Imagine if they'd been secretly deconstructed and whoever took all the parts built one MASSIVE Divine Beast that's been hidden in the depths. You go to the location and awaken it and it rips out from the depths and freely roams and rampages around the kingdom and Link has to chase after and get inside to find a way to stop it. Whilst it's still roaming around Hyrule. It would also tie into the idea of contraptions. Like possibly the Yiga could've been behind it since they're actively trying to build with Zonai devices.
It could be that they Frankenstein the beasts together WITH Zonai parts.
I know that sounds a bit ridiculous but my jaw would drop if we got something like that. To have the most important places of the last game culminate into something truly magnificent.

2:51 oh and the temple bosses lol
Great video, my first thought was kass, and then the backstory of what exactly happened to all the shiekah tech between games. I did grow fond of Penn and loved his reference to Kass, but I feel like that was a missed opportunity to have a quest to find him or even just clues of what happened to them. Could’ve just been hidden journal entries describing his own journey. It bothered me he left his children behind.
I wanted an instrument, but I did appreciate the great fairy side quest involving many different instruments that heroes and sages past have played.
I would’ve loved a swimming mechanic akin to that of N64 Majora’s Mask controls, even at a great sacrifice of stamina, would’ve been so smooth.
I didn’t even notice durians were gone until you mentioned it lol 😂 also I think you get a little more height from the pine cones than from the gale? Not sure but seems like a fair trade, just not as convenient as a single button press
Personally, I think the MINish *were* in it…just in a very different form than we’d seen from them. Maybe they just hadn’t shrunk in size yet….or maybe they had grown people-sized? Back me up MINeru, who knows more about their long eared, tail-having, magic and tech wielding (including pilot-able constructs) people than any other? The people who have kept the kinstones-I mean secret stones-that were capable of *fusing* them? More questions about the Zonai than ever. Can’t wait for the theory vids!
In the hidden Purah diaries it said all the sheikah technology have been disassembled because after the calamity so they didn’t want to go through that again
