Also upgrading your armor doesn't reorder your inventory anymore, all items stay exactly where they are. That was one of my major pet peeves with BotW.

I was literally heading to Faron to get hearty durians for the first time when he said they’re not in the game anymore. Lol

I do wish the “pick up” button was different than the sage’s action command. Tulin blew a dragon’s claw off a cliff when I wanted to pick it up.

One change I noticed is that if you run out of stamina in certain scenarios while doing one activity (say gliding) and then start doing something different (like swimming) it actually gives you a little bit of stamina where BotW would just let you run out and suffer the consequences.

Shops now continually restock their arrows! In Botw they stopped restocking arrows if you had 50 or more on you, in TotK they will always restock if you leave they area for a little bit, even when you have hundreds of arrows already

You also regenerate stamina when going up waterfalls, which is really nice for paragliding afterwards.

Something I don’t think anyone else has noticed was how in botw, the weapons on your back would move and shake when you would run/ glide/ do anything. Now they just sit still on your back. I think it was done to improve over all game performance

One thing no one has seemed to mention which i think is a great add. When you swing a sword in TOTK you now get a nice metallic 'shwing' noise, where as in BOTW you just get the 'whoosh'. It makes combat just a sliver more enjoyable for me

14 - part of the reason why the Rito were not flying in BotW was because Vah Medoh would attack anything that flew too high. That made most Rito stay grounded fearing the divine beast’s wrath. 29 - I might be wrong, but don’t you need to do Hateno mayoral election quests to unlock this option?

It's amazing how many helpful, little natural upgrades Tears of the Kingdom had featured in this list where you go, "Wait... that WASN'T in Breath of the Wild?"

2:09 It was removed to hide the fact that damage numbers on weapons are inaccurate. In order to make Fusion more balanced without having to give separate fusion attack numbers for each weapon type. Single-Handed weapons are 100% of the displayed number, Two-Handed weapons are 105% of the displayed number, and Spears are 75% of the displayed number.

It’s interesting because I’ve watched a few videos where people have said “I wish they had a place to fix weapons in TOTK, would have been a welcomed change” and “You can’t even wear the outfit from the box art in the game!” But if they just did more research or exploring they’d find it. That’s the issue when people try ti rush out reviews/impressions of a game as big as this one.

One more big change they made was the addition of a recipe book, as well as the ability to quick-select ingredients for dishes you previously made.

actually the pink zora is in botw i found her trying to complete the tarrey town quest

6:04 It's strange that so many people run out of arrows because this game practically rains them down on you. I haven't been trying to conserve my arrows much and I'm up to almost 800 now.

Endura carrots arent by the great fairy fountains anymore. Instead you find them at the 8 cherry blossom trees. But Satori Mountain is still the best place to get them! There are 4 by the tree just like in botw (all the others only have 1) along with 4 by where the sheikah shrine used to be & 3 by the tree at the base of the mountain

I think Hearty Sea Snails have also been removed or maybe I just haven't found any yet

Yeah the sun having changed positions really makes a striking difference to the overall experience - Hyrule looks very different because of this relatively simple change, barely recognisable at times, coupled with all the other new additions. It's really neat.

7:38 when you collect all 1000 koroks in TotK, you can talk to Hestu and he’ll do the dance from BotW if you ask him to.

If you run out of arrows just break crates whenever you see them and kill lynels for their multishot bows. I'm currently siting on over 800 arrows despite deciding it's gleeock hunting season.

Great list! Especially fond of the new Tarrey Town night theme, too. Another compelling change is the menu system has a lighter white trimmed aesthetic. BtoW’s was good, too, but it was all dark and muted, feeling stylish and refined. TotK’s in still images doesn't look as good, but in game, it makes much more sense visually. The dark on light icons is easier to interpret at a glance than light icons on dark backgrounds, etc.

You missed my favorite subtle change - when you upgrade armor at a fairy fountain it no longer moves the newly upgraded armor to the bottom. Rather it stays put where it belongs!

The sun changing positions is a very nice detail and actually confirms that at least a few months transpired between games! Since Hyrule is pretty much located at whatever planet's tropics (since the Faron Province is referred to as "tropical"), the angle at which the sun's rays hit the planet would differ quite a bit depending on what season it is.

I actually miss the text about your horse being unable to hear you, it ruins one of the best jokes I ever came up with in BotW. My friends were all coming up with funny names for their horses so, naturally, I had to as well. I settled on "The Gods", as, when I would whistle and my horse wasn't around it would read "It would seem The Gods cannot hear you." It was made all the better when the ancient horse armor was added and my horse would manifest before me. The Gods, finally began answering my prayers.

What suprised me was how much moving the towers changed to change the landscape. I so turned around a couple of times because of those landmarks being gone.

5:51 - The detail here is that all the water you sent up with the impact rains down around you. I noticed it the very first time you dive, and I can't think of ANY other game that I've seen it done in. It's a very simple effect, too!

There's a little orchard by the Shrine on Satori Mountain that gets super laggy. Golden Apple haul, though!

I have the tunic from BOTW. It doesn’t display numbers, but it is actually different from the champions leathers.

Haha I named a horse Bojack too. Nice one Felix

The sun thing is interesting. In BotW Hyrule was located on _Southern hemisphere_ - the sun was in zenith to the North. I guess they changed that so that it's more intuitive to majority of the players.

Link flexes his arms when in idle animation in BotW while in TotK he inspects his arm or in rain removes excess water by shaking his furry arm

They changed weapon damage values. Spears do less than they’re marked as doing, and two handers are undermarked. That’s probably why there’s no way to see exact damage numbers.

Felix over here looking like a young Anton Ego 😂😂

beautiful editing and lovely video again! haha

Was actually wondering how the heck did you lowered your hylian hoodie good thing you mentioned since it seemed cooler too! Ty!

Does the Unbearably Hot/Cold message pop up when you're in Pro HUD mode? Cus that would be REALLY helpful! One thing I always struggled with the Pro HUD is knowing when I've ventured into a hot or cold area BEFORE I actually take damage! It's specially important in this game as I often walk around w a quarter health left in order to take advantage of the Knight weapons double damage buff.

I wish we could cook multiple of the same recipe at once. Also, I think they just corrected the sun rising from the East.

When you're skydiving from The sky Islands, sometimes shooting stars will start falling right next to you and you can catch them while you're falling

The whistle isn't only to call the horse now maybe that's why, it's also call the sage, I know it from the tooltip. Let's added what I know or remember. -The meteorite drops more and I mean more often, even 2 on a single night. -Link now imitate enemies animation when wearing their hat and even imitate the sound, that's neat. -You can't spam sneak attack now, in BoTW you can do that by walking to their back when they get up.

When swimming up waterfalls, can you cancel and start paragliding halfway up the waterfall?

I noticed too that when tou make food for say attack are defense and the like in BOTW you get a sound effect letting you know that it ran out but in TOTK the sound effect is gone

The hood thing was such a nice surprise when I finished that quest and then happened to be wearing my hylian hood when I talked to Cece. It’s also the only way to have Link with his hair pulled back in the ponytail ring without sacrificing a head armor.

Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!

7:30 I'm an absolute FAN of the TOTK DANCE

Most of conversations in this game start w. The NPC talking to themselves or someone else only to go "oh I didn't notice you!" N then give the dialogue i noticed lol

I did not know you could put down the Hylian Hood. That's so helpful because I wear it all the time!

I noticed like, 80% of these, but I wasn’t sure if they were things I had just forgotten botw had.

Rupees grabbing with A is also a thing in BOTW. It was the first thing that felt weird for me when I played it for the first time.

Actually in botw there's an orange Zora, but it's a child, she had the quest where you had to bring a letter to someone at the end of the river

Hearty Foods kinda got nerfed because gloomed enemies immediately remove all of your temp hearts

I gave one of the sand seals an orb from the heroines quest, and it clapped then started playing with the ball

Haha very slick. In BotW we did indeed build Tarry Town "from the ground up" I caught ya (for those that dont know, that was the name of the quest to build Tarry Town)

Regarding the whistle, they removed the cant hear your call message because of the sages who will regroup near you when you whistle

In breath of the wild the champions tunic is just a shirt but when Zelda makes the champions leathers she puts chainmail armor under it to protect link more

this game has been amazing. I heard the paraglider in the rain sound when listening with my headphones. It sounds good.

Thanks for the additional sound effects when you splash into the water!!!! 😅 I hated that mini game so bad 😂

I spent like 3 minutes diving and re-diving in the starting section because I was like “That’s a new sound”. I just plugged on my AirPods and listened.

Im 120 hours in TotK. At 140 shrines already have to get to last boss in game and yet i havent been to Tarrey Town. And have yo make almost every side quest at hateno.

Very nice video :D

I'd love the option of being able to sort by value when selling to vendors

didnt even remember the stone heads from goron village :D

I’m going to need a list of ALL the changes from BotW. DO IT COWARDS!

All those Zora colours were present in BotW. There are new ones, like deep red and yellow, but BotW was still colourful. There are also new Goron colours. Barin and Tule are two brands of ashy. (Seriously, the Goron population seems to have doubled somehow.) Granté has changed his name to Grantéson and scrapped his Sheikah clothing to get a job with Hudson. Cado's donkey has a white topknot with chopsticks under its Sheikah umbrella.

Also when you shoot mid air and the game slows down, in Botw it takes stamina based by how long you are holding ZR, no matter if you shoot or not you still lose stamina, in Totk its measured per arrow, so if you end up not shooting you atleast don’t lose your stamina

The sun position in both was north. As it would be in the southern hemisphere. Totk its south like we experience in the northern hem.

I went looking for hearty durians when i was about to go fight the final boss and i thought i was going insane when i couldn't find them

I miss actual sledgehammers

5:08 - The Pink Zora color isn't new, Gaddison was in BotW.

My theory on some of the changes is that they are seasonal. The sun being in a different place in the sky and different fruit and vegetables growing makes a lot of sense when you consider that this game is probably taking place at a different time of year in Hyrule.

2:02 they removed the ability to see health bars because they actually lie to you about how much damage certain weapon types do! Spears actually do about 25% less damage than they say and two handed weapons do about 5% more than they say! This is because they thought nobody would use spears (despite their fast attack speed and range) if the damage number looked too low, and they thought too many people would use two handed weapons for similar reasoning. If you could see how much damage things do with the champion’s tunic, you would know that they’re lying!

4:02 The guide dude will also say "Is that... Zeldas?" If you have zeldas horse

I was audibly excited when I saw the rito actually flying

I may be wrong, but I suspect the game has "learned" from the fact that when I tag a shine with a marker I then swap it for a Star stamp. I swear sometimes the game now automatically adds the Star stamp without my input. On both surface and directly below in the depths. Can anyone confirm??

The lag when you free the great fairies is gone.

8:42 Terry Town also has weather changes now, it’s not always sunny like in BOTW

can you do a video about all the reoccurring npcs

You can put your hood down?!? That totally made watching this worth it.

I wish you could use the whistle it call your sages

Speaking of NPC's being more aware of their surroundings, I think more NPC's react to Link being unclothed too. Some NPC's in BotW reacted as well, but it seemed like very few did. In TotK, it's still the case that not all NPC's react to it, but it seems to me like a lot more do.

Please be honest. The Insertion Number was due to a problem in the audiofile and Felix couldn't rerecord for some reason? Come on tell me!

You can move from side-to-side when swimming up waterfalls?!?!

The reason the health doesn't show is because they changed the weapons to deal damage different from displayed. Spears are weaker and claymores are stronger. This is to help with fuse scaling.

The only thing you missed were the bridge apples changing in kakariko village

...Octorok's don't shoot accross the field when you hit them anymore. Chests have less bounce ( >:) ) when you pull them from the ground

5:11 Pink was always in BOTW, Gaddison was always there.

The Pro HUD in ToTK is divine. Only the utter most important info in specific scenarios, like taking damage. Never understood why the triforce symbol was hard baked in BoTW.

Beedles prices for arrows is higher than the different shops in towns

Dude you wore the zora armor while swimming up the waterfall you could do that in botw

Why is there random explosions in the video? Im dieing of laughter XD

4:08 The sun changed in TotK because it was wrong in BotW. In the northern hemisphere, the sun rises in the east, is due south at noon, and sets in the west. In BotW, the sun was in the north at noon. Now it's right.

They should really get rid of the horse spurs on the HUD while trotting. It just doesn’t need to be there for any reason.

Being able to pick up rupees with A is NOT a small nor subtle difference. It's incredible!

Don't buy arrows from Beddle they're more expensive than the regular shops in the villages. I think the other travelling merchants are cheaper as well but I'm not 100% sure

2:10 it's removed cuz spears do 25% less damage than shown and 2 handed weapons do 5% more than shown

Think Link got the land "outside" of Tarrey town because Link doesn't have "-son" in his name? 🤔

The Temple of Time doesn't have its signature tune like it did in BOTW. Enemies don't seem to avoid Time Bombs like they would with the Bomb Runes. Robbie is short and the game doesn't explain why (or does it?)

8:30 the way you pronounced cece is criminal! its see see

They also removed hearty Salmon - no more salmon meuniere (i was mistaken, they are just hard to find)*

I'm upset you have to press A for the rupees now 😥

I noticed the rupee one!
