Yeah, it is not the same without that brass fart spooking you

zelda master did

*sad 🎺 noises*

Thinking the same thing. So many people missing that first very cool audio/visual impression.

WORD!!!

In one of the trailer there was a scene in the depths, with a really high ceiling and the coordinates indicating Link was below the surface

@@Nacil_54you get it by watching the trailer in details, but we were never sure there was a whole other map down there

They did not keep it a secret lol

Yeah idk why they dont dive

​@@wunder4402They did a pretty good job I'd say. I saw every trailer multiple times and never knew.

ME TOO OMG

That sounds like an _incredible_ first experience with the Depths. I'm honestly kind'a jealous.

Is that what it’s called? I found a dragon near the labyrinth Lightroot. I rode it briefly.

@@kaizoisevil If you pull out your camera and hover it over an entity, it'll tell you what it is. But yes, one of the three elemental spirits that fly through Hyrule is named Naydra, they're the ice spirit appointed by Nayru.

@@divinecervine See I didn't have a camera at that time. I only just unlocked it.

honestly I feel like a lot of people are underusing the diving feature, great for midair mobility. especially painful when watching rtgame's playthrough as his only death could have been avoided if only he had dived instead of fallen

I didn't know that. i paraglide because it was dark and i didn't want to risk a game over by fall damage

i didn't know you could dive until i watched someone else play because i turned on pro hud really early and so the button prompt for diving never appeared so i never learnt how to do it

Yes! Ioved that little musical bit. The brass playing a glissando downwards, emulating your descend into the unknown darkness, is such a simple device, but it‘s SO effective. The sound design of the depths in general is immaculate.

I didn’t know that because I pretty much dive every time lol

It was overwhelming I can't believe I can forgive this company for charging $70

Huh

I've already exceeded 200 hours and I haven't even cleared the map yet..

200 is rookie numbers

im 200 in and I've only got 2 temples beaten (wind and fire). it'll be 300 before I beat it and 500 before I 100%

wait, which well?

@@popsicIes I don’t remember the name of it but it was towards the west of Lookout Landing and next to a river

This is exactly what happened to me!!!! Lolol

​@@joshsantos7477is it the rowan plain well, near the tanagar canyon? Its got a chasm in it

@@rubellite4480 it’s the one next to the Regencia River, south west of the Ancient Tree Stump

I LOVE THEM FOR THIS.... THE LOVE THE SURPRISES !

Eh. More like 2.5x. Still, certainly more than advertised which is _wonderful._

This is why they couldn't fit this DLC for botw, because it was supposed to a DLC

@@cats4603was it? I never heard that

​@@cats4603I wonder which parts of the game were initially DLC and which weren't. Would they really have Ganondorf of all people as a mere DLC boss when he's meant to be the source of the Calamity?

It's not the scariest thing but it's pretty close

​@@tumultuousvyeah, the hands take that place.

When I jumped in there I just expected to void out, I just pulled out the paraglider every few meters because I didn’t want to die, and since I hadn’t activated the quest with Robbie I couldn’t see the ground and just glided forward, far away from the lightroot. Best gaming experience ever.

It brings back some memories of Skyward Sword and the terror I felt then...

There’s nothing scary or unique about this game. It feels like a fan mod of Botw (a much better work of art).

hi

Always fun to see reactions to new things 😎👍

whatttt zackscott i can hardly see you caring about something like this with how popular you are! that’s so cool most humble youtuber you’re content has been amazing since way back when, I found you through New Leaf and the first Last of Us and it was some of my favorite content, hope you’re doing swell!

@@bushwacker4321yeah honestly same zack Scott is so chill

My main man Zack 🤘🏼

Couldn’t be me

Yeah, very stupid choice by the developers to only play that sound if you dive. What's the point?

@@somerandomnon-importantper3219 It's because it's much more practical and expected to dive in occasions like this. It's also worth considering that it doesn't make sense to play diving music when you're not actually diving anywhere but just falling.

@@SlowWinterNuts When you dive into a dark pit where you can't see the bottom, gliding is just as natural

@@somerandomnon-importantper3219 Gliding uses up stamina, so you're guaranteed to fall to your death unless you stop paragliding. It's very clunky to navigate while falling, which is what the dive mechanic is for. Hence, diving, which gives you a huge amount of maneuverability and is extremely useful. You only maximize your displeasure by avoiding to dive.

I dove into the Depths once I realized it was the only way to quickly get the Master Sword. Oh boy, that Gloom Hand before the Korok Forest depths was a nasty surprise. And my first Phantom Ganon fight... epic!

Answer: mortal terror. At least for me.

@@rosewillow5453 there is nothing so terrifying in this entire game that would be able to quell my curiosity. I’m shocked anyone has that kind of impulse control.

my first chasm was the Hyrule Castle chasm, lmao. I almost run directly into Ganondorf without knowing

There was definitely no way I would jump into that sketchy hole when there was so much to do in the surface and sky islands. I didn't get to the depths until way after defeating the 4 first dungeons.

And to think that everyone was still extremely scared. Imagine if they heard that horn as well

The lightroot’s name is the shrine’s name backwards

I was shocked when I realized how big it was. And again when I realized the water in the overworld is where cliffs are in the depths.

@@UchihaJabbaWAIT WHAT

HUH

@@aditya_a lol switch back and forth between the surface map and the depths map and you can see it for yourself! Took me a while to notice myself

Favorite part of the game tbh

Yup fire temple is my fav one

My first encounter with the gloom was running into Gloom hands. That was also my last encounter with the Gloom for a good while LMAO, noped out of there real quick, and legit just avoided anything gloom related, until Death Mountain XD Thankfully, limiting my exploration to only non-gloom things really, REALLY doesn't mean all that much when there's SO MUCH STUFF to do, so I was perfectly fine XD and that's one of the things that's great about this game - whatever order you wanna do things is, whatever thing you wanna do or not do... yeah sure, that works!

I thought I was the only one!! I avoided the chasms as I assumed it would take me to the final boss (+ area/quest). So my first plunge was Death Mountain as well. It wasn’t until I jumped into a random chasm that it sunk in that the depths extended the full map. I went through THREE temples and much exploring, expecting to find the autobuild quest eventually before I finally decided to peak online and realized I had entirely missed Robbie at lookout landing. After much facepalming, it was hilarious and satisfying to do the introduction to the depths and finally fill my L wheel.

I did the exact same thing! I was very confused and hesitant when Yunobo tells you to jump into the volcano and I was completely blown away!

And wells... And caves... It sure is

I theorized for so long we would get a massive underground area to explore hell I even had a dream about it so I was so happy when I found out I was right!!!!!

There were theories because of those trailer clips, but no one thought they could possibly be right

I felt like this game is to BotW as MM is to OoT.

i'm 110% certain that majoras mask gave me my first anxiety attack at age 11 lmao i rented the game and i had no idea what was happening with the moon lmao

I shit myself when I was flying in the depths and it was pitch black and colgera was suddenly beneath me

@@MetalPharoah It's more like what LBW is to LTTP tbh

Scared? Really??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes, hello, that was me. I freaked out so hard 😅

YOU'RE TELLING ME PEOPLE WERE SPARED OF THAT HORRIFIC NOISE?

Mine was from the yiga clan hideout chasn

The one between Batrea Lake and South Nabi Lake?

@@humbertosandoval55 I only remember it being South-west ish of Lookout Landing as I was heading for Gerudo Town at the time

Mine was at the Great Plateau.

I mean this is the first one the game tells you to go to

indeed, also in that mine you get the auto build ability.

the music from the depths give me chernobyl vibes

same

To me it felt like The Upside Down from Stranger Things.

It was mine too. It was genuinely scary doing that quest line for the strange bargainer statues.

this is it, this is the one

As Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Zelda, said: “A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.” Delays are more than worth it if it’s to ensure that the end product is truly quality when it does release.

It was totally robbed for GOTY, unfortunately 😭😭😭 UGH!

Your reaction was easily my favourite, you have a wonderful, genuine presence!! ❤

Same, I didn't even know about the depths lol

That was my first chasm too. I think I didn't have the paraglider when I saw the central hyrule one and when I did get it I wanted to revisit the plateau. So weird how those specific spots are chasms and how the shrine of ressurection sort of faded away

i did that part at night. tried to sleep but i was intrigued and terrified at the same time

Because people don’t want to crash into the wall or ground

The chances of crashing into the wall or ground are significantly bigger when jumping in than diving, much better mobility as well as grabbing the glider takes the same amounting time

I am not diving at an accelerated speed into a ground I cannot see approaching. Sorry that we're 'missing out' on a cool noise but when going into the unknown safety comes first. ...Anyway, I get the sound all the time now because I either can see when to slow down, or I'm wearing the full glide set.

I was scared and wanted to be careful 😞

@@Meteorite_Shower (little late but) well excuuuUUUuuuuse me princess !!😊

it made me nauseous in the best way

From various observations that could be made about the connections between the Depths and the surface throughout the game (inverted terrain, shrines and lightroots lining up with each other, major population centers and major abandoned mines lining up with each other), I kinda got a vibe that Nintendo might have intended the Depths to be the actual truth behind the "Sacred Realm" mentions in the other games. A world of sacred light that reflects in some way the world of Hyrule and can become corrupted into a Dark World. Let's be honest about that LttP remake idea though. Nintendo would just make it a straight copy of the original game. They would not reinvent the game from scratch. (As much as I've sometimes (long before they ever made the Switch version) wished to see a remade LA where the egg actually sits at the center of a fully fleshed out map of an island instead of having the egg on the north edge of a grid like the original game... I just have to admit that for Nintendo that option is not on the table.) We would not be seeing a large BotW/TotK style free roam version of the LttP layout and we would not be seeing chasms connecting to an underground TotK style interpretation of that Dark World. Hmmm... Random thought though... Imagine if they make another sequel continuing things for this same Link as BotW/TotK and they reintroduce Lorule. Let us still have the chasms to drop straight down into the Hyrule Depths, but also give us some sort of magic that we can zap a chasm with to transform it into a portal to Lorule. You fall "down" through the hole but then gravity reverses and you land outside of the corresponding hole in Lorule. And the Lorule chasms could function the same way. Jump in and fall straight down into the Lorule Depths or zap it with some magic to get a portal that flips us during the fall and lands us outside the hole in Hyrule. I would want to see bigger differences between the two kingdoms instead of LBW's gimmick that gave us a fake LttP Dark World though. Have them build their towns in completely different locations from each other.

They almost remade LTTP once but it became Link Between Worlds lol

@@Scharfster Heck, the Oracles games were the end result of a project that started as "let's remake both NES games and make a third game to go with them as a trilogy". That project morphed into "Mystic Seeds trilogy" and then to simplify the password system they cut it down to the two games which became the Oracles.

@@MuljoStpho I wonder if Nintendo will be keeping Lorule as canon? I thought they might with SS as Demise sword bares an inverted triforce. I am not sure if Lorule comes up again other than LBW. Although LBW was fun, it was a bit of a copy paste from LTTP with the dark world being replaced by Lorule. I remember reading the development teams behind the scenes. They had to go through a few ideas before Shigeru Miyamoto signed off on it but it still felt like it missed some of that Nintendo magic. I suspect Miyamoto might have felt it would feel too familiar for those of us who already played LTTP. TOTK does a much better job of enhancing what came before in BOTW. LBW introduced weapons hiring and navigating through walls. I vaguely remember doing something to abuse Ravio weapon hiring mechanic. Oddly enough the LBW travel through wall mechanic made a reappearance but on Super Mario Odyssey. It was a fun mechanic but I loved the dimension hopping from LTTP between the worlds and how progress in one world required something being done in the other. In the month before TOTK launched I was replaying LTTP multiple times and even discovered another way Nintendo allowed us to play it by going through all the dark world dungeons collecting all the key weaponry and armour. You get to unlock everything on both over worlds and then return to the dungeons better equipped for a boss raid to access Ganon’s tower and the then the final boss. I could not believe I never played LTTP like that years earlier. It was a new experience to playing the game. LBW I played and completed one time and I have never picked it up again since.

after a week i was like LETS LOOK UNDER THE CASTLE!!! lmao

The speedrun’s under an hour already.

@@maxspecs insane!

I couldn't agree more!!

The game is usually kind enough to give some point of reference to show how close you are to the ground long before you hit it. While I still used the paraglider myself, it was definitely after I saw the area open up. I was pretty annoyed though that something so essentual as the paraglider was _optional._

I mean Roamer did it twice and died twice. If is the first time going there why would anybody dive not knowing when they could crash?

it does suck that a lot didnt get the horn. But diving is a feature introduced in totk and a lot of these streamers have most their time in botw, where you'd fall without diving while using the paraglider intermittently to scope out the area and avoid fall damage. Took me a while to start diving instead of just falling too.

I have hundreds of hours in botw. The streamer excuse was a bit silly.

It’s probably because we naturally pass this location on our way to Lookout Landing for the first time lol.

Yeah, that is the intended 1st one. Literally connected to a quest as well.

Was weird for me. Didnt get the paraglider till 20 hours and My first chasm was east of hebra where is a sheikah tower... Amazing feeling first time diving in

That's a soul's move for sure 😂

This was my EXACT experience haha!

i also went to the great plateau first thing after I got a horse and went in the bomb shrine chasm before I had the paraglider, then once I got the paraglider I went down the same bomb shrine chasm and the first thing I did in there was SPOILERS [get autobuild and fight master khoga, without even knowing either was there, it was amazing lol]

(and yes I dived in so I got triple jumpscared)

Imagine if you jumped down the one that has a Frox at the bottom….

To be fair, 152 is a LOT of shrines, and almost all of the non-blessing shrines were bangers! BOTW had 120, AND a higher frequency of copy paste combat shrines.

Same! I was really surprised to see Roamer here, love it though hes such a sweetheart

and yes, doing shrines was hard without the paraglider. I had thought they removed it to make this game different- they taught us to jump into water, after all. Then I made my way to Lookout Landing, and felt like an idiot.

yup! the first zelda quest took you to the castle so i tried jumping in to see what it was like, knowing i wouldn't survive the fall
