Hey I just discovered your channel after getting my switch and being interested in botw. Thanks for all the vids

@@troybeasley5714 I'm glad you like them!! Thank you 😊

Croton another way to boost the bond of a horse is to jump over something then soothe it

I love this series! There's all sorts of things I would never second guess that you openly took upon yourself to fact check. I hope this keeps up during botw 2!

I just started playing this game last month on the Wii U. Thanks a lot for the vids, effort, and stats. It feels good learning the common mistakes early so I can avoid doing them.

That's what you do after you step on your dogs paw.

Its...a mechanical horse!! Close enough 😂

@Katie Rose Marshall Same here!

Yeah me too ! I really love Kaito my favourite horse and I do this to every horse I own,

I just ride it no food or anything just transportation

lol same

@@howtobeanoob2519 how DARE you use the horses as intended ✋😡😤🤬

Glad I could help!! Thank you :D

here's another neat thing: If you hold ZL while your horse is standing still it can move around without making noise

@@bloonninja9226 I did know that one :D ! I think it's a loading screen tip about spooked horses.

@baloonman5 | Not a loading screen tip, but something the stablemen will tell you when you take out a horse :)

@@DragonFang409 It's a loading tip as well. "Horse Steps: While totally motionless, if you press and hold ZL, your horse will take careful steps in any direction with LSTICK. Do this if your horse balks or when you find yourself stuck somewhere." it's not explicit that this is quieter, but it does tell you the control.

Lmfaooo same, been playing the game for well over a year and had no idea you could do that.

Well? how can you do that

José Parra i dunno

Found it, just hold Y (the button you use to attack)

Same

WOAH WOAH WO- *eats a whole meal*- AH WOAH WOAH

@@SnootDog that horse be like: alright ill just stay in the air with my legs stretched and my mouth open till this kid on me finishes his food

Oh so I'm not the only one who doesn that.

I do this too, and I give my horses apples when I get off them while riding to run off somewhere. I just don't like the feeling of treating them like mindless transportation modes even though that's exactly what they are 😂

And then there's me, who doesn't bother with all the intracacies and difficulties involved/inherent to sneaking up to a group of horses and just casually walks up with a 5 shot lynel bow, equipping Ice arrows and just shooting right at them, freezing at the very least 2 in their tracks and then strolling up to the leader, while the lucky ones, unsurpringly and very understandably, gallop away in absolute Terror. Depending on my Stamina level and progress in the game, I might take a yellow extra stamina potion (even with the info given/provided by the fantastic video, I hate mashing, despite being reasonably good at it, too well maybe considering how many buttons and controllers I ruined thanks to Mario party >_

I was in the ranch ruins searching for Koroks. A guardian and two silver bokoblings in horses appeared, giving me a pretty bad time. I got tired and fired arrows to bokoblings, but killed a horse instead :( is so sad to watch them die... I killed the white horse once to see what happens and never tried that again

thank you for letting me know I am not the only one that treats the horses nicely.

It really is!! Glad you liked the video!! :D

That's really awesome actually, I heard that the horses in this game were really realistic so that just adds to that

@@kamille286 According to Gamechamp3000, they also serve as living trampolines, just like horses in real life do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@PhoenixClank 😂😂😂

@Christian Harford I think epona is a 4-4-4.

How many years did it take to come up with that one

leave

I'm gonna give you 30 minutes to hoof it outta here or else I'll stop horsing around, Kev.

Doggo Lad Gaming Uh

I hate you

I never actually knew that before...that's really interesting!! Thanks for sharing!! Glad you liked the video 😄

Oxnard Darcy I actually have a tag that you can reprogram and as long as you have a .bin file for the amiibo you can ask it to rewrite the .bin so that it reads as a new amiibo! I've done this a few times so I could keep the petty rewards while I was grinding for the big rewards in a set without having to save/reload every time, kinda convenient!

Oxnard Darcy Yes

I didn't know you could get another 'pona after you've gotten one. the place where you get copies of amiibos has a bunch of variations for each one so you can cycle through them. I don't remotely feel guilty for that given how this shiz works... and in the end there isn't even room in the inventory for all the costumes!

If only you could put the ancient armor on it to teleport and have more stamina the I’d use epona

Aww thank you so much!! I'm just doing my best 😄

I agree, I really enjoy your unique videos and think you are underrated

Agreed. This was super helpful as prior to this I thought the only 5* horses were the special ones. I also haven't seen any other horse stat videos (though I haven't been looking)

No, please, no places plagued by rain, please!

@@Hovane5 I would be fine with the rain mechanic as it is currently as long as there's some way to combat it by a food buff or wearing a climber set or something.

Beau D I've been playing the game like this, it's a very fun way to experience botw

@@antonsundin2974 Something people miss about the rain is there is a way to combat it. You just need to be good at climbing. You time when the slips happen and jump to cancel them. I would be ok with a late game solution to the rain. But I really like that its a skill thing. They could even make it more complex in my opinion.

@@peterisawesomeplease you don't really cancel the "slip" since you still slip after the jump. You still make a small gain however as the slip isn't as long as the jump. Btw the sweet spot for jumping is 5 as Link slips after that

I thought it would be helpful to calculate the speeds this way, so thank you!! 😄

I have that horse vs bike speed comparison, I'll post it shortly... Might be a few days

Dude mety333 did this 2 years ago

Trudie Wassenberg Link?

@@Hovane5 sorry i dont know how to do liks just go scrol down

Perhaps...🤔 I was planning on making a "Miscellaneous stats" video down the road, so I can definitely include it in there!!

I reeeeeally wish the game would let you register atypical mounts. I know the mountain buck is really slow, but it's _so majestic_

Satori has near INFINITE Stamina/Spurs- Surely that's the best Mount. But yes- would love if even ONE Stable had the ability to save Non-Horse Mounts; I'd keep Satori, Staal Horse, Bear, and Mountain Buck in the Special Stable- maybe special Giant & Royal Horses as well?

There's also the amiibo horse, Epona. I'm curious how Epona differs from normal horses.

Can't wait for the deer speed stat 😂

Hmmm 👀👀

😂😂😂😂

LMAO

XD

@@Croton hmmmm four eyes much?

That’d be so dope, showing up to the final boss riding a bear lol

@Markus Alfred Levo yeah but you can't register them at a stable.

We should be able to register the Iord of the mountain

I want to register a stalhorse ;-;

No problem!! Glad you enjoy them!! :D

Seems like Botw is your first Zelda Game, bc that Horse is a reference/hommage to Oot, Majora's mask and Twilight princess, where it is your only, but very trusted steed and her name is Epona. If you catch her, (which I don't know how, but she can appear in the game, as the developers have put her in and alluded to her like an Easter egg, much like Ganon's giant horse, Zelda's white one and the lord of the mountain), even the Npcs at the Horse registry recognise her as a legendary horse/symbol and don't let you rename her, out of respect for the canon apparently. Edit. I forgot something, in Hyrule warriors which is a Dynasty warriors crossover, Link can ride and fight on Epona, which is considered it's own weapon class. She has even 3 level/ranks with the in game version Epona being the weakest, then comes Epona of Twilight and lastly Epona of Time (oot ofc). I can only hope that Botw 2 is gonna be better story/ dungeon/item/enemy-wise, but at the very least I could recongnise and feel good about all the love and detail the developers put in by making so many countless references to past games, though on the flip side, this means that hardly anything about Botw feels original, just updated, revamped and repackaged in a very unique, compact and exquisite manner.

knowcomment Nah, I’ve played Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, and you’re right, you can get Epona in Breath of the Wild, but through an Amibo. The horse I’m talking about is mostly brown, and is very different from the legendary Epona. You’ll see it all the time on the cover art for Breath of the Wild, and strangely I think it’s even in some of Link’s memories.

@@jamestheviking983 wait what? I'm pretty sure that horse on the cover is meant to be Epona, (either that or a random horse, like the standart american brown haired Hero arche-type) , but maybe that's just the Mandela effect screwing with my memory right now 🤔🤪🤯

knowcomment Here is a link with all the information I talked about. Pretty interesting how almost no one knows about this. This game is huge. www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/6ci9y0/botw_links_default_horse/

@@jamestheviking983 WOW, well would you look at that, very interesting and intrigueing. Thanks for the info, it's nice that someone else can show me something worth of note to my favourite game franchise that I thought I knew inside and out (at least lore-wise, don't have the time and patience to lab/test out code and mechanics to a game developer/expert degree, but hey that what I watch this channel for). Little details like this seem to get lost on me, which could be due to me being so invested in the more grand and symbolic aspects of Loz (like the vast majority of plot relevant aspects being adapted/repurposed from the Bible, (old testament especially) that I've been spending a large part of my free time thinking up ideas/concepts for 2 Zelda games, which I might pitch to Nintendo on the future, or even just work with them if possible, who knows.

Yeah he can run over birds lol

@@darci1456 you can run over birds with the normal horses too. Just spur it right before they fly away

Yes, 60 for giant VS 30 for normal, and the giant horse can trample at any speed

Thank you so much!! Just doing my best to help the community out!! 😄

Crap your right, can't believe I missed that typo!! Just addressed it in the pinned comment - thank you!!

@@Croton nah its good. I have that horse but choose not to use it bc of its health. I use the 4/4/5 instead

finding out how similar the speeds are, I actually feel dumb using top speed horse over the second best stats

@@KairuHakubi I don't. I've been a 2/5/3 user since 2017 and will continue to do so. If you time your presses correctly, you actually only need one spur and you'll stay at a constant galloping speed, only slowing down to a canter for less than a second. As Strength is very situational and near useless in most circumstances, I see Speed as the only stat that matters, and that is enough justification for me to take a 5 speed horse over a 4 speed, regardless of how small the increase is.

@@MattTheMan2708 strength is pretty important imo bc the health on the 4 speed is nearly double the one on the five speed. Also, i usually go into monster and guardian territory

It would be awesome if the sequel let us register non horse mounts!! :D

Hold down the button you use to attack (Y) when holding a spear, and it does that twirly thing

@@Croton I think the highlight of my first playthrough was mounting a bear before i knew i could

@@bluesandshrew1 The average live stream in the last few weeks has 1-2 horses die

Epona is a 4/4/4.

Si. Es de carácter dócil. Los de carácter dócil tiene estadísticas bajas. Epona las tiene altas. Cuando agotas las 4/5 estrellas de resistencia los otros caballos te tiran al suelo. Eso es terrible si huyes de enemigos como los guardianes. Epona no te tirará jamás.

So... just an all black horse? I'm pretty sure that's not a reference.

Thank you!! I'm glad you liked it 😄

Glad you liked it!! Thank you 😄

It all depends on how the spurs are used with the horse - which can manipulate its speed to be the slower or on par with the master cycle. The numbers I provided were cumulative averages of multiple different tests, as there can be slight variations on speed depending on the situation. Thank you though, I'm glad you liked the video!! I'll keep an eye out for yours!! 😄

Get epona, infinite stamina glitch, profit Edit: epona takes 8 steps per spur vs. other horse's 5 steps per spur

@@jaxryz_380 yeah but my horse has more speed 🙃

Oh that's interesting to know!! Thank you, I'm glad you liked the video Shaun!! 😄

That is true about the 5 speeds!! The stamina with them is never really an issue to begin with, but with the ancient armor they truly become unmatched (and thank you for the clarification with the bridle 😅) But I'm really glad you liked the video!! Thank you so much 😊

5-Star Strength is a pretty good aspect for combat, you should try that playstyle too, it's really fun. Feels like a knight doing some work. The 3-Star Speed is useful in a combat situation, because it allows you to hit your target more than 1 time, and the turning is better.

Thank you!! 😊
