Also if you attach any of the emitters to a boomerang, it will use 3 energy cells but it will do a massive range of it’s emitter variant.

A tip for maxing out batteries: defeat depths mini bosses like talus and frox. They drop 20 crystallized charges and they are basically everywhere in the depths

Im 44. I got a Switch about a year before Covid. Got addicted to BOTW during the id. Loving TOTK!! I'm just so impressed with the ingenuity and creativity I see and learn from while watching these videos. It's so interesting to see how people find different solutions to the same challenges.

Defeat a Lynel with Puffshrooms: Get about 10 and just keep putting the Lynel in a cloud. Wack him from behind, and he'll just stand there looking confused. Just make sure to throw another one out before the previous dissipates.

When you fuse a star fragment to a weapon, the balls of light it shoots out illuminate the darkness really brightly. This means you can explore the depths REALLY well when you shoot out the balls of light. It's helped me a bunch. (something i forgot to mention is it only really helped me really early, and even then, as cool as it is, its kind of a waste to the point where it might as well do nothing, brightblooms are just way better to use overall.)

- Throwing water on urself to withstand heat also works with Sidon's bubble. I'm guessing this also contributes to certain weapon bonuses. - Fuse a cannon to a lance/spear and press throw button and now you can aim and shoot FPS style. - There are small metal square platforms in the sky islands that are great to build flying devices specially to gain height. - Dazzlefruit instakills bone enemies. not sure if it was mentioned. - Rock Octoroks repair weapons except for special or legendary weapons, unless you fuse those to regular weapons then they will get repaired. Shields and bows can also be repaired. Magic rods cannot be repaired. - Attaching different things to boomerangs will have different cool effects when thrown, but some items are just too heavy and wont let you throw boomerangs at all just use them as melee. - Idk who needs to know but you can cook pizza. 🍕 nothing special about it but its kinda nice lol.

More storage space. See a weapon or talus heart you want but don't have room. Use your shields as extra storage. I attach those to mostly all my shields then separate at pelison when needed.

As a minor correction with wing despawn, their durability timer runs down when they're generating lift, which causes the little white air trails to come off the tips of the wings. Flying them backwards doesn't generate lift, but the wings really want to fly right-side-up and forward, as you noticed. However, the lift generated by 1x balloon and 1x 45° fan is sufficient to override the lift of a wing, meaning you can fly it forward without it despawning so long as you have that much lift.

The korok autobuild especially comes in handy if you’re using a hoverbike bc their placement can make it difficult to control. Also along with Tulin pumping if you’re wearing the diving suit you can quickly dive then hit X to cancel right before hitting B, so it’s just R-X-B real quick, and you get crazy speed.

The scope is also a handy way to orient yourself through the sand shrouds in Gerudo Desert: you can go above them on an updraft or something, pull out your scope in midair and pin the place you want to go to, or some landmark in that general direction. Then when you land, you can pull out your scope again on the ground and you’ll be able to see your pin, even through the sand shroud

If you’re in a really dark part of the depths and don’t know if the ground is suddenly going to fall away, the star fragment wand does come in handy to show where the best place to shoot a bright bloom is for instance. Pretty niche, but it can be useful early on when you don’t have hundreds of bright blooms in stock. I also always equip a luminous Talus heart shield in the unexplored depths for light if I don’t want to change armor.

Here's some more... - Use Forest Dweller's weapons alongside Brightbloom Seeds, Puffshrooms and more if you're running low on these items. Fuse Recycling allows certain consumable materials to regenerate and be used again. - This is more of a carry over from BoTW, but generally, the ultimate weapon against Lynels is a Royal Guard's Claymore with a White Lynel Sabre Horn fused to it, on its last hit. It combines the Critical Hit from breaking and the Breaking Point property for extreme damage whilst also being reusable when mounted on a Lynel. Also when mounting a Lynel, you can't take damage from using Gloom weapons. - Star Fragments fused to shields and gems fused to magic rods provide a decent amount of light in the Depths or dark caves.

That one that short-circuits the Lynels is a great one. I knew about it, only using the horseshoe shaped Zonai pieces you find during a rail section of the Construct Factory quest, but Treasure Chests are obviously better. Great video, there were *TONS* that I didn't know on here!

Some of these tips are genius! I’ve used several, but I learned many new tricks too! Thanks for all the work it took to put this together!!

Wow at 21:22 the quick menu to get what you want at the most used was brilliant. I needed that one! Thanks Niko ❤

You can use puffshrooms to smoke beehives if you don't feel like dealing with the bees.

24:42 - 24:47 omg dude you have no idea how much this helped me! Those last 16 Bubbulfrogs are mine now! I’ve visited every cave and Koltin stopped telling me where he could sense the frogs…

Link being able to use the carts and shields to use the grindrails is so cool. Reminds of Pit from Kid Icarus uprising and that games grindrails.

You mentioned water on surface being walls in depths and shrines being same location as lightroots, but didn't mention Lynels being located in the depths below stables on the surface 25:39

I've been waiting for tips combined into one, I'm still so in awe at this game! It's 100% (ha got it) my favourite game of all time. Even nostalgia couldn't beat it for me. Love ur content! Earned a sub.

Here's a silly little tip. If you use a wood bundle to power a hot air balloon, and then soak the bundle (i.e. by landing in water), the wood will still be able to be picked up back into your inventory. Not super useful since wood is so easy to get, but I thought it was interesting when I found out.

This vid is super helpful. Not even half way through and I've learned a ridiculous amount of tips. Thanks for the help. Just got involved in TOTK about 2 weeks ago and i cant put it down. This is the best game i ever played. Just amazing.

This was super helpful. Thank you for another great video Nikko. My favorite was tip 64 and 115 😂

When you get on a dragon's back, you can run up and down them to collect spike fragments. You'll get at least 12 each time. You can attach the fire and ice spike shards to your shields to add cold and heat resistance to open up a free slot of clothing. A much better method than relying on ruby and sapphire gems.

Awesome tips. One thing that helped me was adding a pine cone to a fire I’m trying to start in the rain. Great for campfires and updrafts.

On Flux Constructs, take away enough blocks and they break apart. The core just causes it instantly, but can be hard to do on Construct 3s. No legs means it breaks. For cubes just keep removing blocks.

The Lynels will despawn autobuilt chests after v1.2 update. But there are other items that will work in their place, such as the fanblades from one of the depots in the depths. Look it up.

These are some of my favorites: 9:53 Repair weaps with octorok.

24:36 Have an ice wand ready when approaching a new cave. If a flock of keese rush out, swing to freeze them all and be awash in much-needed eyeballs!

Small thing: you can surf on a rocket shield. Its hard to control and you can be knocked off, but before tullin it can give you some horizontal speed. The timing can be tricky too, the rocket turns on quick

Fire doesn’t slowly reduce hp unless they’re standing on something burning, it does a set amount like in BotW

23:09 yo that sync was perfect👌

There's a lot of cool stuff in this! One thing I would add is that if you wanna really get the most out of Amiibo, just save before using them, and if you don't like what you get, load your save

Thank you for collecting these, definitely a few I didn't know! My top tips (story spoilers on tip 6) You can use recall on Rock Like boulders to instantly break their armour. An ice wand is a great way to collect skittish critters like sticky lizards. The legendary Gerudo sabre (forgot its name, the upgraded one) has the same attack doubling effect as the regular one, making for very strong weapons. The Lightscale Trident gains double attack when wet. Splash fruit are plentiful. :) Mark the locations of rare ore stones on your map! They regenerate! Mineru's arms can break ores and boxes without needing to fuse anything to them, saving durability.

It really is super awesome that for one of the first times in Zelda games that the problems and puzzles are able to be solved in multiple ways now instead of just a single way. I’d love it if they could implement it in an even greater way

Fun fact: In 117 you mentioned that you can autobuild a with korok. But if you build that autobuild in front of any korok’s friend it counts! The build could be as simple as attaching an apple to a korok!

Thank you dude this really helps since totk is my first introduction to Zelda games

A tip that I have is, if you have a wide enough updraft, you can get a horizontal as well as a vertical boost if you have tulin's ability available. The easiest way to do this of course is use yunobo's power to create an updraft, then start gliding and use tulin's as soon as possible. By the time you land, yunobo's power will be almost fully charged ready for another updraft.

I’ve been using the Dazzlefruit/Forest Dweller Spear combo forever , such a helpful tip I came across !

Also, Ive found the more compatible the fuse item is to the weapon type, the more attack you get out of it (for instance; zonai attachments to zonai weapons get more attack & "spear" type attachments to long sticks or spears get more increased attack etc). Sorry if this was already covered in the vid tho! I havent finished watching yet 😅

1:23 personally here I put talus hearts on my shield as they can’t be collected, while also look cooler. Also luminous stone gives you a blue version of lv 1 glow which I have to get a permanent glow light. Rare hearts dose nothing as far as I know. Also remember this means you don’t have to change clothes that often and get better use of others like attack up or weather attack

This is the best tip video I ever seen. Blew me away with the shield surfing minecarts on the tracks that was dope!

24:43 OMG TY SO FREAKING MUCH

One thing to add to the Lynel roars cannot destroy treasure chests; the U-shaped blocks from the Construct Factor are also unbreakable. Additionally, for one-shot protection, it's not just specific enemies that can ignore it; any attack damage over a certain threshold (20 damage or 5 full hearts over your effective max HP) will bypass it and one-shot you regardless of full HP or not. Physical attacks with an elemental damage (think a Boko using a wooden stick that is on fire, or any elemental weapon) also bypasses it due to being 2 sources of damage (the element and the physical attack). Armor, hearty food and defense food can further bolster your one-shot protection since the game checks for net damage on max HP+overheal, not raw damage on overall max HP.

Thank you so much about the cave tip! I finished all of them and turned out that I'm missing some of the bubbul gems. I was sure that I'd need to visit all of them again!

This was so helpful! Also made me feel like I have been playing this game wrong 😂. Thank you for making this!

Tip for easily fighting Lynels: if you get tulin to aggro (take out his bow) the Lynel with start attacking him and completely ignore you. This is because Lynel (if you are wearing the Lynel or Majora's mask) will not attack you unless you take out your bow. Hope this helps (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

ITS FINISHED! Hopefully you could use all or most the clips that I helped you with

if you fuse a luminous talus heart to your sheild u can get a nice glow radius around you. its a softer light but the range is similar to two lvls of glow effect

I actually learned the Octorok Balloon trick while fighting the Mucktoroks in the Depths as it gave me enough height to enter Bullet Time and hit the Mucktorok with a Multi Shot Bow for extra damage plus Mucktoroks drop a lot of Octorok Balloons after they've been defeated so it was easier to fuse them to my shields and use them instead of rockets also Constructs can't swim either

For the koroks, just attach korok to back of hover bike it is a bit tricky to steer but very quick to complete

Wait what, the Blupee flees toward a grotto? That's definitely my favorite tip.

Also note that Flux Cores, Construct Horns, and Zonai Devices gives Zonai weapons a +10 attack bonus.

One i invented on my own playthrough and used quite a bit: If you had to jump off your hoverbike for some reason and want to easily find where it rolled off to, just look around with recall

"These balls of light do nothing! You're welcome!" Best line from an epic video. Great job, Nikko!

The treasure chests against the lynels helped a lot. Thank you

Another proof that I’m not creative at all 😄 Luckily, learning tips and tricks this way doesn’t take away the fun for me 😋

I have spent a ridiculous amount of time on TOTK and still did not know a few of these. Thanks!

This video is old by now but an easy way to orient yourself while walking through the desert is by placing pins along the path you want to go in the Depths. Switch maps and the cursor automatically indicates where you are on the surface on the depth map and from there you can orient yourself. The pins appear on the map if you hit an updraft and you can add surface ones for better visuals. Caves are great for reaching high places quickly. Hover stones can also prove useful you can create sky platforms and go higher. Many boss monster locations in the depths reflect the locations of boss monsters on the surface, though the monster may be different. There is a lynel in the depths beneath ever stable. // Great fairies now require a quest, materials, and rupees. Some new armour benefits include flight armour=no fall damage; “new” Fierce Diety=attack up, Froggy=no slip, OG Link outfits=✨weapon up, Zonai=(something about charge use), Elemental=better elemental attack + aesthetic, etc. // Also the Champion’s tunic just has high defence, you can’t see enemy HP. // Buy the Snow Boots in Gerudo Town, they’re worth it. // Once found, OG LoZ weapons can be traded with a Depths Bargainer Statue for poes once broken-poes are easier to find than other high-level weapons. // Dusk Bow, which automatically respawns where you found it. // Cooked food and elixirs sell for more, especially with high-level ingredients. However, they sell for less in general than in BotW. //You automatically get the recipe for any dish you receive. // Many dishes calling for veggies, like stew and curry, refer specifically to carrots or pumpkins. Once you find a dish, try it with different ingredients or grades of meat. // A very simple fave: 4 ingredients, like Mighty Bananas, plus milk gives 3x power guaranteed for about 4 minutes. // On the surface, gloom hands will eventually give up if you go out of their reach (up a wall, climb a tree, etc) and leave dark clumps behind. If it’s dark, like beneath Lomei Labyrinth Island, they remain. // The easiest place to find Fire/Icy-breath Lizalfos in a normal way is Gerudo Canyon where they alternate between day and night in the same numerous locations. // Beetles often appear in huge amounts on a large tree near the mound with Silent Princesses and Nightshade on Satori Mountain. // Use Ultra Hand on every box and I swear you will never run out of arrows with how many 5x and 10x there are. // To quickly increase simple elemental firepower, use what you have on the endless blue chuchus. // DONT FORGET TO FEED THE DOGS

you can do a kinda thing like with tulin but you need the skydive set (you dive then cancel the dive with the set on then glide) and you will go much faster you can also combine this with the tulin technique to make you go further after the speed runs out from the glide set dive thingy

Great tips! I learned many new things, thank you!

Thank you for all the amazingly helpful tips. I’ve recently got back into the game after a break, so I came across this video at the perfect time. Have a great day!

I’m feeling proud of myself - I figured out a lot of these on my own! 👏🤓 The one I like the most that I didn’t know, and that made me laugh, is the fused rocks to solve korok rock puzzles 😜

this is why nico is the zelda GOAT

Not only are you amazing for putting this massive project out, but you also actually helped the korok! Wow.

At 9:23 omg I can't believe you shared one of the most life changing tips I ever found... to fuse two unopened chests together and push it in front of a lynel! I discovered it on a random YT Short- however it wasn't explained at all but I wanted to fight a lynel without teleporting mid-pummel, just once. So it worked well for red, blue, white and silver lynels that I tried on the surface. I tried twice on white or armored lynels in the depths. Seemed to hit its limit there... One more thing I might add is I'm pretty sure (read from other players comments) that this glitch was patched in 1.2.0, and so I have not updated my game from 1.1.2. And I try not to let it bother me that I can't receive any of the News Channel item freebies bc I've finally outgrown my fear of Lynels thanks to my conjoined twin treasure chests so I'll never let them go ☺

i also noticed that some of the chasms on the surface are where the shrines in botw used to be (mainly the great plateau)

can't wait for you to start posting item farming videos in tears of the kingdom

You can sneak up on a Bokoblin carrying materials on those backpack crates thing and steal their materials without having to engage them in a fight.

Amazing compilation of tips and tricks. In the entire video, I only saw two tips that used reloading to game the system. Other than those, all tips were legit knowledge and expertise. Again, amazing overall. Must have taken a long time to put this together. It was great to watch. Thanks.

I knew like 175 of them but I never knew about opals making water. Good job.

Weapons don’t break when mounted on a Lynel, so you can attack them with almost broken weapons without breaking them

try using the star fragment staff in the depths, its especially useful to see if there is ground underneath you when its too dark all you have to do is a downward attack.

I had no idea y'all. The fusion is ridiculous in this game. I seriously didn't know you could use enemy parts and minerals on weapons. Dang. This game just got a whole lot cooler and it was already cool.

I play this game since a while now and learned so many things here. This game is amazing

You can trigger a blood moon anytime by shooting opals with multi shot bows at breakable rocks in caves. Also, a panic blood moon will automatically occur if you visit any of the main towns before the first blood moon. This blood moon comes out of nowhere and is scary, but it is a good early game tip for farming zonaite

Great and helpful video, and the fact that you even take the time to respond to every single comment on it is pretty amazing.

Thank you, friend! I didn't know most of these tips, truly, curiosity pays off! I'm subscribing, I liked it a lot and your voice is very nice! :D

I liked that tip that said you can break apart zonai devices by shaking the controller! It really helped me for one of my upcoming videos!

At least Nico does not just state things the game tells you like the other 500 you didn't know this about totk. 💯 Thank you nico. ❤️

"You can also wet yourself to keep yourself cool in the Gerudo Desert."

Tip for feeling powerful when upgrading health / Stamina: Instead of turning them in right away, see how many shrines you can do without turning them in. When you start to feel 'weak' you can cash in the orbs in bulk.

25:14 your picture of the hylian retriever look just like mine

Me reading the title : My life is easier with a PHD in Zelda TOTK😂

It’s the things I don’t pay attention to, I swear I never saw select recipe and I’ve been playing this game for 200 hours or something

3:16 Actually, star fragment balls of light DO do something; they kill stal- type enemies instantly, so long as it's not a boss (eg. Stalnox). Same with Dazzlefruits!

If you have multiple crates to break, fuse them together and then lift and drop. It's faster than one by one.

This is such an impressive collection of tips 🙌🙌

If you use amiibo only to get certain things, do a hard save, use the amiibo and see what you get, if it’s not what you want then simply reload the game. Fixing champion weapons and bow is easy, just fuse them to a shield and let the octorock have a go at it, then both shield and weapon/bow is as good as new. Also, if I stumble on a weapon I might want but there’s no room in my inventory I just fuse it to a shield for safe keeping.

Wow! There’s a lot of great tips and tricks in this video 🤩

The balls of light from the starpiece-weapon can help in the dephts because they do light up a big area.

About number 101, flicking the joystick can cause major joycon drift, so be careful. I always shake the joycins.

With 98, about restoring battery by using recall, you can also restore battery by using a portable cooking pot and preparing a meal, you'll be regaining battery during the entire animation so don't skip

I thought this was going to be boring rehash of things I already knew but was pleasantly surprised .lots of cool stuff here. Nice job.

25:23 this also correlates with that under stables there’s Lynels

Another thing for any shaded areas cooling Link off in the desert. Unlike in Botw. Any shade produced by passing clouds will now keep link cooled off.

Hey, thanks to nr 150, after a long time trying I finally got to mount the glider in the air!!!! Also there are a bunch of things I did not know yet. Great job with this video.

3:27 I did just that. Seeing them smash the small fry is satisfying. I also used the apple gathering trick. 17:26 I think you put it together wrong. 19:51 That's a BOTW trick. 21:55 I covered campfires with a Zonai device while it's raining. I usually put in 5 small Zonai charges into those dispensers. 28:04 I totally do that. 28:25 I didn't know you could do that.

Great video. Already knew the majority but the few tips I didn’t know are definitely gonna be a big help. Especially the trick with moving material to the front of most used. I’ll give my own tip like every one else seems to be doing even tho it’s probably basic by now lol but I’m at the point where I’m just going around looking for the last hundred or so koroks so some times running into mobs can be quite annoying. Especially multiple silver enemies. I make sure to keep a flurry rushed enhanced ice weapon (I like the halberds for this personally but the result isn’t much different for other types) and it destroys any silver monster in I wanna say 3 hits. Could be more hits than that, but it’s definitely no more than 5. As for the fusion material I usually use the ice gleeok horn so the effect stays on. Pristine Flurry Rush weapon + Ice Gleeok Horn is one of my fav fusions.

I realized that tip number 50 the counter goes from 50 to 60 in one go
