A quick update regarding the final part of the video - the lynel attack we mentioned near the end was only the SECOND highest form of damage in the game - the first being a gold lynels massive explosion that deals 216 damage!! (210 normal, 6 flame damage) With max defense (112) this means that the player will still take 104 damage upon a blow, or 26 hearts!!! Sorry for forgetting to include this, but now you all know the top 2 highest forms of damage in the game!! Thanks for watching though, feel free to like and sub if you haven't already to support the channel, and check out my other Stats of the Wild videos in the playlist linked below!! 😄 kzfaq.info/sun/PLAjULYyNSE9aa7aQW31IupW685MO-ZBHc

Even with max armor, all enemies still yell at Link, hurting him in ways no weapon could ever do.

My favorite unit of measurement: LINKS

So basically, the flame breaker armor is better at resisting guardian lasers than the armor that straight up says it helps resist against guardian lasers?

Me: Hey Daruk, instead of blocking those 3 pebbles that guy threw that deal less than a heart, could you block that Crusher that rivals Ganon's power Daruk: No can do little buddy, those rocks could give you amnesia again

Dev: “Mitamoto-san, when should fall damage kick in? Maybe 5 meters? 10 meters?” 宮本茂: “10 Links.” Dev: “wut.”

Who needs good armor when you have Tingle's suit?

Dont mind me I'm just drowning myself in botw facts while waiting for botw 2

One thing that would be interesting to see in BOTW2 is enemies wearing armor. Enemies can already use weapons, it would be cool to see early game enemies with makeshift bone helmets and enemies later with full sets of armor. Maybe they could add a few sets that rarely drop from the enemies wearing them as the only way to obtain them

Who cares about school this is all the learning I need

God damn. Poor Link had to get absolutely THRASHED for this episode in the name of science lmfao our poor elf boi

This is such an awesome video (Especially for a math nerd like myself) I never realized just how many different modifiers or adjustments affect everything in Breath of the Wild. Keep it up Croton, and I hope you do this for Breath of the Wild 2.

I,ve actually discovered an even more damaging attack than a Gold Lynel with a 108 Savage Lynel Crusher (besides fall damage). It is still the Gold Lynel, but regardless of the damage of the weapon they have equiped, their explosive attack that has a massive AOE and it's commonly used to start the battle does 214 total damage (by my calculation).

The game: Majoras Mask and the Phantom Gear help out new players when buying the DLC Me: ooh Midna Hat! Yes pls

Just wondering: does having your metal weapons/bows/shields get struck by lightning have any effect on their durability?

Stats of the Wild has to be one of the dopest names for a highly technical series like this!!

Perfect timing for me to watch during my lunch break! Thanks Croton your videos are always great no matter what it’s about! Can’t wait to see you on stream next! Woah, my throat is soar from all that yelling about how great you are...

I've put like 630 hours into this game and I still learned so much from this video. Such good content!

This video is basically 14 minutes of Link getting his shit rocked. Good stuff!

My favourite KZfaq series is back

One of my favorite pieces of Botw trivia is that you can use Daruk’s protection to completely negate fall damage

bless your soul for using music from spirit tracks

I'm just out here appreciating the Spirit Tracks bgm

I think you are one of the most underrated youtubers ever.

This seems like it took a really long time to make. Thank you for using your time to help the rest of us!

Do the Yigas in the hideout have different damage settings, since they can oneshot you? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm curious. :)

I didn't know weapon boosts were applied to the monster carrying it You could, in theory, calculate the boost based on how hard the enemy hits, which is SO COOL

Great video ! I really respect the time and effort put into this to gather all of this data. I won't take much of it in but hopefully remember bits on my next playthrough...

Loving the vids Croton, I utilise these facts every time I play. Shield surfing? I want it to rain. Enemy with a weapon I want? I use a shield with a higher number than the weapon. Thanks for the videos dude, and I'm looking forward to your BOTW 2 content!

That damage calculation was actually super helpful, I often dies to enemies holding a weapon I normally wouldn't die to but I ended up dying

Keep up the great uploads! They are always so high quality!

I've been watching for soo long and his voice is still soothing

Am I the only one who is watching this looking for ways to stay alive longer in the Trial of the Sword? Just me? Okay.

The rest if the world: uses the metric system America: 10:09

great work you did there!

just to add on, the highest damage an enemy can do is the explosion gold lynel make, which gives 216 damage. if u wear 88 armor point with lvl3 defense buff at maxed health(30 hearts), u will take the explosion with 4 heart left

Never been this early, and these are really helpful, so thanks for doing what you do!

nice two weeks ago I just said to myself that you should do on video on this, and here it goes

4:22 I’ve never seen that Hinox-throwing-a-trunk animation before. Looks neat.

When rounded to the nearest 10 Croton: 52 gets rounded to 60 50: Am I a joke to you?

Wow. This was incredibly helpful! I'm surprised the system is so simple. From a game design perspective it's really cool seeing how that system scales so well.

Hearing that Spirit Tracks music just made me so stupidly happy

I love the falcon bow it just looks on links back

The thing I like about your channel is how you make a video game seem scientific

You’re the reason i still play the game. Keep entertaining me, love your content❤️

I already experimented with how the armor protected you but I like how you went more in depth because it is very entertaining.

Thank you for the fall damage part!!! I once fell less than 2 link's, and lost a heart, and I was really confused XD

Can’t believe that I was right about how your armor gets reduced with the enemy output but with the rest of this video was entertaining to learn

4:42 It looks like the Lynel's charge damage is just ×2.5 of it's normal damage. Good to know, less to remember.

1:01 Man I have a hard time focusing cuz I hear one of my most favourite type of nostalgia music, music from spirit tracks (I know it could be in also another game but this is where the nostalgia is for me). I love music from Spirit Tracks and I often put on the soundtrack. It's really good.

Eyoo. I love the fact that you still make zelda content and explaining things we never though about. I got the game 2 months ago and really find these helpful. Keep going.(i'd like to see more advanced tips and tricks)

Been waiting for this one

I would recommend instead of wearing the soldier's helm for defense, wearing the amber and diamond earrings. They look a lot nicer AND the diamond circlet provides a bit of ancient proficiency.

Thanks I didn’t know that the flame braker set was the best for guardians

Lol, at the beginning of my Master Mode journey, I had like 8 hearts and fought a Lynel at Polymus Mountain WITHOUT NO DAMAGE!! And then, I took a picture of my glorious victory next to the Lynel and gave it to a NPC Zora to complete the “Savage Lynel” side mission. It’s interesting that the NPC had a accurate reaction.

i've upgraded the soldier's set to level 3 and i feel invicble. Things that used to oneshot me now take a third off one of my hearts

God I love math. I love knowing damage calculations in games. This stuff is so friggin cool.

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS YES!!!

I don't know why, but I feel the pain when Croton takes intentional damage for illustrative purposes.

So an enemy with a base damage of 0 just deals 1hp of damage when unarmed?

This makes so much more sense. Thank you for explaining!

The most damage in BOTW is 216 (54 hearts) from a Gold Lynels Aoe attack and with max stats is 104 (26 hearts)

Just checked HMK's 5th dimension podcast, and i wanted to tell you how much of a man of taste you are, needless to say that my top 2 Zelda games are also Breath of the Wild and Skyward Sword. Anyway, great video as always, we always learn interesting stuff. Keep up the good work :D

Link: falls off a skyscraper normal people: oh no save him. his friends: ah shit here we go again.

I really appreciate your time and effort in figuring this out

I was about to buy the ancient armor. Now I changed my mind cuz I have the flamebreaker set. This helps alot. Thank you

online learning / more like just looking at stat vids :P

Thanks for sharing this information with us! These videos have really helped me understand breath of the wild better!

"Higher number good" that is how I think tho 😂

A question that still lingers in my mind, how does the actual ragdoll dmg work compared to "straight" fall damage? The damage ticks sometimes seem really random on relatively even slopes for example. Sometimes you can slide half a mountain without damage, other times every second seems to do 1 HP dmg. Is the "10x Link height" a static number or did you mean that if you were to fall while horizontal (due to ragdoll/glitch) you will reach that 10x Link size sooner? Asking for a friend who is definitely not me who almost lost an almost complete no death run due to a bad bomb placement followed by a trip down a mountain

So grateful for the explanation of base damage, definitely one of my biggest questions

I really hope Nintendo decides to show all the stats of each item and weapon in the next one.

Just got back into my master mode to finish up the hero ballad dlc. I love this info

I think someone is watching simpleflips. The "T W O" at 4:46 didn't go unnoticed.

Why does the master cycle despawn during falling and when do u automatically fall of the master cycle

Didn't know there was so much behind all this, thank you. I'm currently playing Master Mode, sad thing is, in this mode you're forced to wear Majora's Mask most of the time otherwise you'd get attacked every 2 minutes.

Wow, that is the best to ratio I have ever seen.

Thanks Croton! Great video.

I didn't know someone could be so thorough until I watched your channel. Kudos!

Still surprised me how my maxed Soldier’s Armor reduced the damage from the Lynels at Hyrule Castle to 1HP.

I was wondering why sometimes when I ate a lynel charge/swipe my hp went all the way down to a quarter heart. I thought no way it could be coincidence that I keep living with a quarter heart and assumed it was some sort of anti one shot or damage cap. Glad that this confirmed my suspicion.

10 Links in BotW: No damage 10 Links in Dark Souls: YOU DIED

Really useful video thanks! I had no idea flamebreaker was the best armor against guardian beams!

This video got me thinking... it would be really cool to see a Breath of the Wild pvp mod!

does enemy damage have anything to do with player knockback or is that depenedant on the type of attack?

Definitely earned a sub, super useful info on the lynels, especially since I'm playing master mode for the first time

I love your videos and really help me in my breath of the wild gameplay, so thank you

My favourite series!

Croton, this is just such an impressive video. You’ve somehow deepened my love of my favorite game of all time.

thanks for uploading this, it was really informative. How long did it take to get all the data? it must have taken a long time

I'm honestly surprised by how linear the damage calculations are in this game. Usually games with attack and defense stats have some complex formulas in the background to fine-tune and balance damage amounts, so I thought an open world game like this where the gear you'll have at any point can vary so widely would at least have some sort of curve to its formula... very interesting

Hey Croton did you know that guardian/ancient weapons set off remote bombs? found this out while messing around in a shrine it’s a lot of fun!

I love how these videos show under "Learn while at home" XD

so yall not gonna talk about the fact that this man is spinning with his 'bow and shaft' out

Most countries: *use the metric system* Japan and Murica: so you take fall damage if it’s more than 10 links tall

Others: higher number good.. me: I have a giant boomerang that I found in the woods I call it my boomerang blade

Thanks for your research, dude!!

Love your vids!

this actually helped me understand the armor rating in botw thanks bro

I really love all this technical stuff, and numbers concerning armor sets, elemental damage, etc. I still say my favorite sets in the game are my Normal Daytime Wear...Heros Tunic, Black Hylian Hood, and Dark Link pants, or Phantom Armor pants for a touch of attack. I also love the Radiant Set, especially if I get a buffed bone weapon, plus it looks so cool, and The Fierce Deity Link set. I have all of the before mentioned maxed out. I'm also starting to like the Soldier's Armor a lot. I really think they should have given that one a Defense Buff at level 2 since I can't see anything else that tops it Defense wise anyway. Maybe it's a secret buff or something. The Barbarian set is good too. I don't really use any of the Elemental sets too often unless I need them.
