Quick tip for the depths, if you get your hands on a skeleton horse you won't have to worry about the gloom on the floor. Those things can stand on it which allows you to explore underground much faster while riding one.
Pro tip: don't get confused as to what the fuse ability does. Not fully understanding it, I fused the claymore with my shield thinking, for whatever reason, it'd increase the durability. It, in fact, did not. Instead, I now have a shield with a giant ass rusty claymore point straight up. It's beautiful actually
Note: if you have registered horses in Botw, any stable you go into in TOTK will have your horses. you just have to go through their dialogue and they will say they have your horses
Super quick tip for caves. Every cave has one magic frog inside, that drops the bubblegems. You will know that you got the frog for each cave if the cave shows a checkmark on it in the map
@@agv345 Thankfully they are big so you won't miss them that easily! But I mean, their harmless bubble attack is kinda cute😅 Or the fact that they are just blupee rabbits is cute 😁
Oh nice, I didnt know there was a checkmark. I was regretting not putting stamps beside the cave for an indicator that I got them. I thought of doing that too late that I wouldn't be able to mark the ones I have already got.
Just mentioning a little something that not many people seem to know about. When playing Tears of the Kingdom, remember to play it on the same console where you played BotW. The game reads if you have both save files and gives you some extra things. One of which being that any and all horses you had registered on BotW will appear on the stable once you are registered there. And if you already had Epona, you can get a second one if you use the corresponding amiibo for the first time.
@@Tigery760 From what I've heard and seen, the only things that transfer are the horses mainly and the Champions' Photo from the DLC, which you can find in Link's house in Hateno. Sadly that's all that seems to carry over.
I’m in such a confusing spot. I love Austin and his content, but I also just kinda wanna experience all this Zelda stuff for myself. So I’m just letting the videos play in the other room to support you, but it’ll be a few weeks before I come watch any haha
@@AustinJohnPlays I should be able to get the game tomorrow. I don’t mind spoilers for the gameplay aspects. But I really want to avoid story spoilers. That’s why I have only been watching your videos, because I know you won’t spoil the story for us.
I did about 80% of BotW without looking anything up. Totally doable and well worth it. Don't do it man. These games are intuitive enough. Although it did suck missing the snow and sand boots haha
Just gotta say, I started watching your videos when BOTW came out. I found them highly informative and entertaining. Ever since they announced TOTK, I’ve been eagerly waiting for you to pump out videos. And man, you do not disappoint. Hats off to you dude! Keep ‘em coming!
it’s so nice of Austin to always take the time to help everyone who’s barely getting the game. you’ve helped me since Pokemon Sword & Shield, where would we be without you :D
2 tips I learned myself 1) you can unfuse items by opening your inventory and selecting the weapon you don’t want fused. HOWEVER, once you unfuse, the item you fused with the weapon you’re holding will be lost FOREVER 2) you can throw items by Holding R to throw your weapon and then press the top D-pad to open your inventory and select what you want to throw
Bro!!! Good looking I was just wondering if I could unfuse weapons and the throw thing was cluch cause I found these blind berries it said throw them and I couldn’t figure it out so I fused them to the arrow lol
@@deraelevans222 for thee arrows you aim and then click up on the D-pad and select what you want to attach to throw it farther than just throwing it with your hands
This was immensely helpful. I dont even have my copy of the game yet but watching streams left me feeling so overwhelmed with what to do once landing in Hyrule. Now i have smaller, concrete goals
WE HAVE LIED STOLEN LOOKED INAPPROPRIATELY AND USED GOD'S NAME IN VAIN SO REPENT AND TRUST IN CHRIST FOR HE SAVED U HELL ON THE CROSS BY DYING FOR YOUR SINS
Quick tip for those who don’t know, apparently you can feed a horse an apple to tame it. Just in case you were having a difficult time actually taming it. Don’t know if this was obvious or not.
I haven’t seen your videos since I first played Breath of the Wild 6 years ago, and seeing you is almost like bumping into an old friend I haven’t seen in a while. You look older and sound different, but there’s something familiar and comforting about watching & listening to your tips. Thanks for all the years of great content.
Idk if people know but there is an NPC dressed in blue by the sheet blossom tree Austin talks about and she will mark 3 locations on your map showing you where to find some armor as well
"Go to the Rito first" So _exactly_ like Breath of the Wild, then. The Rito are clearly the optimal choice to visit first... even if I went to the Zora my first BoTW playthrough.
This make me genuinely happy. I first found this channel when I started playing breath of the wild because I absolutely sucked at it and all the videos helped me. Now here I am 5 years later watching in real time his video for the new Zelda. It makes me so unbelievably happy
Quick tip about horses. Most of your horses that you registered from BotW are carried over into ToTK, meaning you can still have all of your horses from BotW in Totk
@@CHINKICHOU are you using the same account to play? I went to a stable in botw and took a house out, then saved, then opened totk back up, and my horses were there.
it’s actually hard for me to comprehend how absolutely massive this game is. i’m 15 hours in and clearly have barely touched the surface. they really blew this outta the water 🔥
Are we playing the same game? I’m 3 hours in and this is a $70 DLC running at 30fps wit the same powers “re booted” but less fun. Why am I glueing wood together and crafting RNG gum balls? They took the Zelda/ Link opening trailer scene and fleeced us all off that hype. Well done Nintendo. You’ve turned my childhood hero into a gimmick.
@@Amer1kop Just keep playin and you'll like it. Also this ain't a DLC at this point, the Tears of the Kingdom is larger than Breath of the Wild both map wise and file wise (As well as content wise), it is most definitely a new game.
@@Amer1kop It's hard for me to take this criticism seriously when yall have games like God of War or most sequels that basically keep a lot of their stuff. Damn if you do, damn if you don't. I don't know what you expected from a sequel.
@@phenomenonnarutokun a STORY. A STORY to add to the BOTW world would’ve been awesome considering all the hype w/ Link/ Zelda / demon king. They could’ve turned the whole world upside down and I would’ve been thrilled.
I don’t remember where any shrines were 😂 also is it ever explained in game where those shrines went? They’ve just disappeared in this game along w the towers from the last game. The towers in this game are totally different
I brought the game at launch but never had time to play it. Now I have time and realized I’m still in the beginning of the game 😭 good to know I can have my old horses.
Just wanted to say: you’re a rockstar. Been hear since BOTW and LOVE your content. I’ve been looking forward to your coverage of this game as much as I’ve been the game. You got a busy couple of weeks and hopefully you can find time to enjoy ‘just’ playing and relaxing.
I remember first watching you when you did Breath Of The Wild, and following your tips & tricks. So it feels really nostalgic & very fitting to do the same for Tears Of The Kingdom.
This was the exact way I found your channel 6 years ago when I played Breath of The Wild. It's so exciting to finally play Tears of The Kingdom. Love the work man!
There is an NPC walking around that gives you markers for the caves with special armor in them, along with a hint of their special ability, I found her near the cherry blossom tree
Realize that this man wastes his entire first playthrough just for us. He doesnt really get to enjoy the game and take it easy, since he has to rush these videos out. He sacrifices his own experience to make ours better. What a man
Another easy but great armor to get early on: go to the great tree stump west of lookout landing and you can find the Fierce Diety Boots there. I stumbled on them by accident in my first play through and they are great because it doesnt overlap with barbarian armor so you can stack them
Quick tip: If you're having trouble with the hot or cold, fusing a Ruby to a weapon will keep you warmer while it's equipped and even melt ice chunks if you stand close. Fusing a sapphire will cool you down. This way you can do the Wind Temple without any cold reduction clothing, or with one piece and not worrying about food. Also using fire against an ice creature or ice against a fire creature is often a one hit kill (especially against lizalfos)
7:55 it's not exactly like the first game. In the first game, the stone talus would stay down a little longer when stunned, giving you enough time to climb up. On this game, he doesn't stay down for very long at all. However, I didn't know you could rise through his body, so that makes a big difference. Thanks for showing that.
It totally took your video for me to realise that the root names and the shrine names are literally opposites... like put them together for a palindrome opposites. Love that.
6:09 that one sidequest plus like all the DLC armor from BOTW. This is a logical extension of previously established Misko. Also how did you get Mikanos from Misko? That’s amazing
Your videos carried me through Scarlet and Violet and now I'm here for this. Your videos are truly great and clear and concise. You deserve a lot of credit.
I agree with you that things feel familiar but also different. It’s like visiting some far off land, having a great time, and then going back for a visit and things have changed. In this case, in a good way
me an my son playing the game as we speak, and right off th intro some questions from thr trailer have already been answered, and i should probably stop theory crafting because the more i think about it the more i eventualy end up right and spoiling myself. i wishall the happiness for you guys when u get to play your copy. cheers!
I had no idea that Link can just ascend through the Stone Talus. Ascend has to be one of, if not the best video game ability. The more I use it, the more I love its uses.
Ascend is such a blast to use! All of the abilities are so much fun. I honestly forget to use ascend in a lot of situations and then I remember to in order to get out of tough places!
My favourite thing about the stable is that it keeps your previous horses if you have your Breath of the Wild save. I started off with Zelda's horse from BoTW after I registered a random wild
I lined uo for half an hour for this game on launch day. I bought two copies. Played it for 6 hours straight. Very addictive, great uogrades. Great puzzles.
I love Tears of the Kingdom sm, mainly because I like having things and the sound of picking up items gives me serotonin. A friend of mine let me play on her spare profile so now I'm watching tip videos in preparation for buying the game for myself. Very helpful!
Thank you so much for all of these Tears of the Kingdom videos! I just started playing the game a couple of weeks ago and I've learned so much from them. I've watched almost all of the videos on your Tears of the Kingdom playlist. Keep up the awesome work!
Something I found out today, If you have save data from BOTW on your switch, your horses from that game are still in the stable! I'm starting the game on a max stat/max bond horse and it makes me happy to think he's been with me through both adventures!
Looking forward to picking this game up today, though I'll admit I got a little sad when John said no more whistle sprinting...I loved whistle sprinting in botw...!😢 still excited for the new game though!
I watched all your videos and I just bought the game and I just arrived on the ground, there is so much to do that I don't know where to start so I'm going to watch all your videos again haha
Shrines below are named in reverse for the shrines above it. Nisojin light root in the depths Nijosin shrine on the ground lvl Follows for all shrines. If there is a shrine up top..there is a light root right under. Name always spelt backward...i thought it was neat
A cool tip that I found is that if you shoot a multi shot bow with dazzle fruits 2 times, the puzzles with the yellow hexagon that require light can be skipped. I did it with a 5 shot but it may work on a 3 or 2 shot. I'm not sure if you would have to shoot more dazzle fruits though.
I should've started with Rito. I started with Zora, and Prince Sidon is insanity inducing with how often his avatar got in my way before I finally had to shut him off lol.
The best method I’ve found so far for the giant rock guys in my Playthru on breath of the wild, was to use a two handed weapon and use the charge attack, but cancel right before it would use the smash attack so that I could save the durability, and by that time, he normally knocks you off, and your stamina will recover decently because you didn’t use all of it 7:45
Hopefully in the DLC they’ll have something like trial of the sword. The proving ground combat shrines reminds me of trial of the sword from last game.
Regarding the spoiler-y part that is in the huge red hole: There are 3 really important kinds of structures that I've found: -Yiga Clan Hideouts: defeat all Yiga Clan members and you'll be given a blueprint -Mines: They have a chest that most of the times is 20 energy crystals to upgrade your energy meter, but in some rare ocasions you can get the Armor that you got from Amiibo in BotW. If you explore the Sky Islands and get Old Maps, the maps will mark which Mines have those pieces of armor Forests: Somewhere inside the forests you can find a Hollow tree with a chest in it
oh man im so glad Austin is still here. I need these tips so badly. I'm still used to the BoTW tactics i have lol. Unfortunately it definitely doesn't apply to this game. XD I keep dying. XD
I found someone named Meeshy walking around on the path around that first shrine and she literally just tells you about Misko's treasure location. And she is even generous enough to mark the caves on your map, neat!
I've finished everything...all 1000 korok seeds, all signs, all wells, all caves, all bubbul gems, all items, all shrines, all lightroots, all Yiga/Zonai schematics, and I'm still at 98.99% completion. So I've got quite a search ahead of me to figure out what I missed. It's POSSIBLE that I could've missed a couple caves that have multiple entrances.
Little extra tip!!! The stable boy at 9:38 has a quest that gives you 2 pony points. So completing that quest and talking to the guy behind the counter, already gives you enough pony points for the pulling harness.
Thanks Austin really lovin this game and these videos Seriously super appreciate all the TOTK tips and guides man it is immensely helpful and super fun all around 👌 you’re the man as always
Quick tip for the depths, if you get your hands on a skeleton horse you won't have to worry about the gloom on the floor. Those things can stand on it which allows you to explore underground much faster while riding one.
Ye lol did that but accidentally ran into master kogo with 4hearts
You can ride horses down there??

So good
Especially pokemon and Zelda. Always slaps
Pro tip: don't get confused as to what the fuse ability does. Not fully understanding it, I fused the claymore with my shield thinking, for whatever reason, it'd increase the durability. It, in fact, did not. Instead, I now have a shield with a giant ass rusty claymore point straight up. It's beautiful actually

Super quick tip for caves. Every cave has one magic frog inside, that drops the bubblegems. You will know that you got the frog for each cave if the cave shows a checkmark on it in the map
@@MythicAce218 those critters are used for making anti-slip elixirs. Easiest way to catch them is to just shot them with an arrow
@@lceBox wait you can catch them? I didn't know that,thank you
I read your comment first and I thought I would find a tiny cute frog and got scared when I found one of those "frogs" 😂

And if you already had Epona, you can get a second one if you use the corresponding amiibo for the first time.
What other things carry over? I've only heard about the Horses but Nothing else.
Can you carry over anything else? If not that’s fine, but it would be cool if I could get the Champion weapons.
@@Tigery760 From what I've heard and seen, the only things that transfer are the horses mainly and the Champions' Photo from the DLC, which you can find in Link's house in Hateno.
Sadly that's all that seems to carry over.
Not sure why you would want a second Epona.
@@Moon_Presence It comes with scanning any Twilight Link Amiibo. So if you already had an Epona on the Stables, just don't register the second one
Tip: Similar to BOTW, you can use Ultrahand/Fuse to check missed items or hidden chests under water
Also good to find rocks for Korok puzzles.
I’m in such a confusing spot. I love Austin and his content, but I also just kinda wanna experience all this Zelda stuff for myself. So I’m just letting the videos play in the other room to support you, but it’ll be a few weeks before I come watch any haha

It's a good starting place that way you have some gear and some confidence to go on and do whatever. It's like orienting yourself a little bit.

Thank you so much for all of these Tears of the Kingdom videos! I just started playing the game a couple of weeks ago and I've learned so much from them. I've watched almost all of the videos on your Tears of the Kingdom playlist. Keep up the awesome work!
Something I found out today, If you have save data from BOTW on your switch, your horses from that game are still in the stable! I'm starting the game on a max stat/max bond horse and it makes me happy to think he's been with me through both adventures!
Looking forward to picking this game up today, though I'll admit I got a little sad when John said no more whistle sprinting...I loved whistle sprinting in botw...!😢 still excited for the new game though!
I watched all your videos and I just bought the game and I just arrived on the ground, there is so much to do that I don't know where to start so I'm going to watch all your videos again haha
Shrines below are named in reverse for the shrines above it.
Nisojin light root in the depths
Nijosin shrine on the ground lvl
Follows for all shrines. If there is a shrine up top..there is a light root right under. Name always spelt backward...i thought it was neat
"wutter" get's me everytime 😆
Thanks for the quality content!
A cool tip that I found is that if you shoot a multi shot bow with dazzle fruits 2 times, the puzzles with the yellow hexagon that require light can be skipped. I did it with a 5 shot but it may work on a 3 or 2 shot. I'm not sure if you would have to shoot more dazzle fruits though.
I should've started with Rito. I started with Zora, and Prince Sidon is insanity inducing with how often his avatar got in my way before I finally had to shut him off lol.
The video ended. And I instantly want more. Can't wait to see Austin 100% this game
Thank god your back on Zelda and we have more adventures to come
The light root to shrine connection is amazing and the best news by far.
The best method I’ve found so far for the giant rock guys in my Playthru on breath of the wild, was to use a two handed weapon and use the charge attack, but cancel right before it would use the smash attack so that I could save the durability, and by that time, he normally knocks you off, and your stamina will recover decently because you didn’t use all of it 7:45
Im soo stoked! I asked my dad if he could take me to gamestop after school and he said yes!
Hopefully in the DLC they’ll have something like trial of the sword. The proving ground combat shrines reminds me of trial of the sword from last game.
Regarding the spoiler-y part that is in the huge red hole:
There are 3 really important kinds of structures that I've found:
-Yiga Clan Hideouts: defeat all Yiga Clan members and you'll be given a blueprint
-Mines: They have a chest that most of the times is 20 energy crystals to upgrade your energy meter, but in some rare ocasions you can get the Armor that you got from Amiibo in BotW. If you explore the Sky Islands and get Old Maps, the maps will mark which Mines have those pieces of armor
Forests: Somewhere inside the forests you can find a Hollow tree with a chest in it
Thank you so much.
After watching this video, I now have a reason to be even more confused about which one to start with.
But I'm so excited.
5:25 not Austin calling Blupees “Blurpies” hahaha 😂😅
Horses can get down rocks easier this game hold ZL and a direction and they take small steps even down slopes a bit
oh man im so glad Austin is still here. I need these tips so badly. I'm still used to the BoTW tactics i have lol. Unfortunately it definitely doesn't apply to this game. XD I keep dying. XD
Thank you so much for the content! There are so many helpful tips in this video. It didn’t even dawn on me that we could ascend out of a cave 🙈
Thanks for everything you do Austin john 🎉
Its so good to see you guide me through Zelda again!
In the desert, you can use Sidon’s ability to cool yourself down to normal temp.
Yay! It's AustinJohn season!! ❤
Thank you💛
I want to play the game on my own, but sometimes it is impossible to get stuff or understand the best places to explore. Thank you for these videos.
I found someone named Meeshy walking around on the path around that first shrine and she literally just tells you about Misko's treasure location. And she is even generous enough to mark the caves on your map, neat!
I've finished everything...all 1000 korok seeds, all signs, all wells, all caves, all bubbul gems, all items, all shrines, all lightroots, all Yiga/Zonai schematics, and I'm still at 98.99% completion. So I've got quite a search ahead of me to figure out what I missed. It's POSSIBLE that I could've missed a couple caves that have multiple entrances.
Little extra tip!!!
The stable boy at 9:38 has a quest that gives you 2 pony points. So completing that quest and talking to the guy behind the counter, already gives you enough pony points for the pulling harness.
I love that you left the rock stranded bear in, cracked me up. Keep up the great content
Finally picked up my copy I can’t wait to get started ❤ Ty in advance for how many of your videos I’ll need
Can't wait to play this game. Been waiting till I'm done with finals this week before I jump in. For now I'll just watch your amazing content.
Thanks for a very thorough lesson on auto builds that I’m definitely going to make and save as favourites.
