Ha! You Overestimated me, I Missed THEM ALL!

On his way to the castle the prince encountered something strange *the fricking apocalypse*

I might have found links dad During a DLC memory (Kings ceremony) at a certain angle,behind the champions are their species. Mipha(Zora) Urbosa(Gerudo) Daruk (Goron) Revaili (Rito) But who's behind Link? It's a royal guard and Zelda said Link's dad is a knight. I mean who else would be behind Link during the ceremony. Just a Theory....

Every time a video starts with: “Breaf of th Wiald” I grin.

I've got one for you. Talusses are meteorites. It's clear they are more a force of nature then monsters. They started walking about Hyrule after landing. Except one, it's still in one of the craters that can be found somewhere at the West edge of the map. The other craters are empty...

1. "The treasure sleeps in the center of the golden triangle..." 2. The "Golden Triangle" is three triangle shaped "islets". 3. You must get there by boat... This may be a reference the Triforce itself. Another possibility is that it is a reference to awakening the Tower of the Gods in The Wind Waker.

One overlooked secret I've never seen or heard anyone else talk about is that the master cycle dungeon is modeled after an old BMW flat four motorcycle engine.

Dodongo’s would make a great overworld mini boss and like they had King Mouldouga they can have King Dodongo

FUN FACT: In parts of the game files, those three smaller temples on the great plateau have names: Bravery, Strength, and Wisdom (Bravery and Strength are likely just slight mis-translations of Courage and Power). Just a cool little detail (:

The funny thing is that I always already have snacks before you tell.

It's funny how in all other zelda games you get to choose links name but you can't do that in breath even though its "your" adventure.

Zeltik: Zonai Nintendo Black Crisis: Zonai Hyrule gamer: "The Z word that we won't mention here because it's covered too fricken much"

I recently learned of the cutscene that plays if you enter Zora's Domain without doing that follow Sidon mission. Nobody ever really shows it because almost everyone does that mission.

Somebody finally pointed out the caved in stairs!

1:05 I was like "Is the KZfaq algorythm censoring Zonai now???"

I really appreciate that you keep posting botw content it goes to show how much content is in the game

The ancient hero looks like he's wearing green with red hair... Link wears green and Ganondorf has red hair.

I once was walking near the inn at Hateno and spoke to the girl who is on a horse and wants to go to the spring, she told me that the dye shop has a saying; “Today is a good day to dye!” For non-trekkies, this is what the Klingons say in Star Trek. Neat little detail.

The remains of dragons and other creatures are exciting to me because if or when we travel back in time in BOTW 2 we get to see these creatures living and breathing. I’m fairly certain we will, because a lot of things in the trailer make sense, like how there are no shrines present in the wide shot of the landscape of hyrule, and the creature zelda and link are riding on underground in the trailer has a dinosaur like tail, which doesn’t match any of the creatures in BOTW, also if Nintendo is returning to the same hyrule, traveling back in time would give us a cool different style of this hyrule with different landmarks, enemies, climates, and more!

8:03 I always thought it was supposed to resemble where you first meet Zelda in Ocarina of Time

“I can’t wait to bomb some Dodongos!”

7:40 They are also in the shape of a Triforce

Knowing the Temple of Time and part of the Great Plateau used to be OOT's town, the 3 temples referencing the spiritual stones certainly takes some interesting implications. Link had to go on a journey to gather all 3 stones to gain access to the temple's inner chamber. --- In a similar manner, maybe gaining access to the temple of time, required that the person go on a pilgrimage to 3 sacred locations related to the stone's element, and bring back an item from the locations: Death Mountain, Zora's Domain (maybe Lake Hylia too?) and probably the Rito Village, or Gerudo Town. Kokiri Forest doesn't exist, and no ordinary person can enter the Lost Woods, so for the nature/wind element, both Rito Village and Gerudo Town would make sense. --- I imagine the pilgrimage would have been far less tedious since there were no monsters or calamity around, so traveling was more of an excursion of understanding resources and the environment to survive, rather than a survival challenge of not die against unexpected monster ambushes; and it would focus on understanding the species and their cultures, so when entering the temple of time, the person would be enlightened as to how Hylia has blessed Hyrule with so much wisdom and knowledge. --- Once the items were brought to the 3 temples, they'd gain access to the temple of time, likely even becoming one of the caretakers if the Royal Family authorized it. --- Though with the Plateau destroyed, such traditions are dead, and likely won't return.

2:14 Looks like I'm not the only who who is a big Midna fan!

Thought about this at 5:48. In memory Daruk's Mettle (The one gotten during the quest to free Divine Beast Vah Rudania) there is a mini earthquake around death mountain. Daruk stops a bolder flying towards him and Link and says, "All right, so what was I saying...That was a little strange...As far as I know, Death Mountain has been quiet fro decades. But if the mountain is shivering enough to send down a bunch of bolders that size, then-- Never mind, forget I said anything." After this memory, it is not brought up again throughout the rest of the game. The only other time we see bolders hurled from Death Mountain is when the Divine Beast was hurling them during Link's climb to reclaim the Divine Beast and free Daruk. As they were on the Divine Beast in the memory (Ruling out the fact that it could have been it causing the tremor) and Daruk seems to have prior knowledge of what it might mean, I was curious if this could have been signs of Dodongo or Darunia as seen in past games? Maybe a set up for the boss of Death Mountain in Botw 2? Idk, seems weird that it's brought up and the game doesn't seem to go into any further detail on the subject

Who else escaped online class to come here? Just me?

What if Link just stopped reincarnating like how Ganon did how do you think the fight would have turned out?

The second "Secret"could be a reference to the "tetra-force theory". Center of triangle=treasure, four treasure chest=four pieces of triforce. Also, saying the treasure, "sleeps" in the center of the triangle means it is dormant, maybe hidden.

I think what I really love about Zelda games in general are just the small details. Things like this may not seem highly significant, but they are able to add onto the lore as well as make the game feel alive. Props to the team for creating all the minute details

8:07 That idea reminds me of that church in Braga, Portugal. They have a pretty long stairway with several smaller shrines.

The prince in blue could also be a reference to the one time Zelda had a brother. In the manual for Zelda two the adventure of link. It explains how the princess was cursed by her brother who was being controlled by an evil mage. The king of that time was so upset by this he declared it law that any daughter of the royal family would be named Zelda to honor the fallen princess.

God i havent played this in 3 years,but it is always gonna be close to my heart

I think that the golden triangle side quest is also a reference to the Wind Waker game where are you find Triforce pieces by looking for treasure chests in the water.

2:10 what makes better in BotW, they explain tutorials without breaking the 4th wall.

Maybe in BoTW2 we'll learn more about BoTWs1 past, knowing how their world was formed or something or maybe their world was formed Again and again by all those past Ganons

9:32 Naw, dude, that's Shrek 2. One of the coolest little tidbits I know is in one of the smaller Plaeau temple ruins. Thinking about OG Temple of Time (in the order the games were made, unless I missed something), I was confused about there being no Master Sword inside the ToT in BotW. I DID, however, find a miniature OoT ToT version in a temple ruin down the hill. From what I can recall, it's pretty spot on, complete with the little stairs and the Master Sword pedestal. It was way cool.

That Midna zoom tho

I really hope they bring back Dodongos for botw 2! They could be a more unique mini boss for death mountain compared to the igneo talus, kinda like how Molduga is specifically for the Gerudo Desert.

I explored the bejesus out of hyrule( to the point there was little of the background color on the map due to the heros path) but the last thing I discovered before I put the game down was a hot spring outside of Hateno. Still one of my favorite places

9:20 Zelda Master also calls BotW Link, "the hero in blue".

%99.99 of players didn't remember Karin, let alone the book she reads.

for the last secret: crown and white horse, a prince, HIS castle maybe about an old king like rhoam was (he is also seen in a blue costume in the cutscene where he explains everything to link) he also found the (possible) calamity in his castle, which would be hyrule castle, so maybe it is a story about the king of hyrule.

The book the kid is reading reminds me of the mailman in TP, where you can find him in a few strange places crouched and...trying to read other people’s mail? Lol!

I actually found this out already when researching the Temple of Time in Breath of the Wild, so, Instead of spoiling the secret of whats actually in front of the temple, let me just show you this. Put a red pin where Din's symbol is. Place a Blue pin where Nayru's symbol is, and then finally, place a green pin on Farores Symbol. Then completely flip the map upside down, and tell me exactly what you see.

"The wildlife is similar to that of real life, well, minus the giant wild Hinox, terrifying Lionels, bone crushing Talus, and of course the Bokoblins and co." Me: but Molduga....

Loving these videos, keep up the good work! :D

I just discovered your channel today and love it. Thanks for sharing! I only knew about the golden triangle and dodongo tracks.

For the great plateau entrance, you can break some rocks in TOTK which will drain the water, obviously, and start a quest.

Ah yes... the dreaded z word... Child: what's the z word? Dad: Zo- Mom: ZELDA! the z word is zelda...

Lurelin village is Outset Island.

I've spent a lot of time on the Great Plateau, but I've never noticed the symbols of the three goddesses before! That's cool. I thought the only reference to them was in the names of the three dragons. Now I'm wondering if there is a deeper connection between the goddesses and the dragons.

Dodongos coming back in future game isn't too much of a stretch. We only encountered them inside a big cavern. And pretty deep in it. We haven't visited underground that much in BotW, in the trailer of the Sequel we see we are under the ground, so maybe they will reintroduced old enemies like Dodongos, and if we really go deep enough maybe we'll met some Mogma again hahaha

HaHA! You’ve proved me right! I always knew the footprints were from Dodongos! But everyone else told me it was from Vah Rudania! I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE THROWAWAY REFERENCE TO A FICTIONAL LIZARD FOOTPRINT! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGAHAHA

came here from zelda wiki :D

4:38 I seen a Triforce hanging on the wall in the Sanctum today. Great video, man!

Link: *Rides toward the castle* Calamity Ganon: *Appears and starts terrorizing everyone and giving Link's horse PTSD* Link: How strange. I didn't know pigs could get that big. *PROCEEDS TO CASUALLY BEAT GANON TO A PULP AND SEAL HIM UNDERGROUND* Link: *Continues on his merry way to the castle dragging his traumatized horse behind him*

That last one's a bit of a stretch, in my opinion. He's wearing a crown, so it's more than likely a children's fairy tale like the ones we have in real life, where a prince rescues a princess. Plus, he doesn't have Link's trademark bangs!

8:48 Literally more like literaturely! Ok I'll leave.

I always wanted to explore a pre-destruction world map in-game. A second version of that idea would be exploring a 'Repaired' in-game world, such as for example, The Great Plateau repaired and thriving as a sort of new Castle Town and farmland, or the actual in-game ruins of Castle Town repaired and thriving. I guess it's just a form of reward just to see the world you saved show visual progression at rebuilding in a now safer land. Another imaginative wish is exploring the lands past the chasms that act as the world border, because unlike the stretch of ocean or desert you can visually see that up above the intense wall of earth on the other side of the chasms, there is a large expanse of grassy flatlands, which makes you wonder, has the land of hyrule itself always been this low to the ocean, and has it always been this disconnect from the inland? Because it honestly looks as if at some point in the past the land of Hyrule suffered from a massive landbreak from the rest of the land, because it is too much of a hight and length difference to suggest that these two lands are naturally like that. It makes you wonder, how did this happen, and if the breakoff theory is to be believed, how or what caused the breakoff from the inland? Was it natural? Was in international? Perhaps it was from a prior 'wish' from the Triforce, akin to the WindWaker timeline, or here's a fun one! It was the Dodongos that weakened the 'border' and eventually caused the collapse! With the sheer size that they can grow, if they had grown a large population and created a line of caverns, it could have eventually collapsed and cause the land of Hyrule to slip off, or vise versa,... Actually lets explore more into this. Imagine that over time Dodongos lived alongside a fault-line, and with how large Dodongos can grow and live for, their caverns alongside a fault-line would grow deeper and longer with it, and eventually weaken the fault-line causing the plates to slip, one going up, one going down, so as Hyrule sunk, the other side of land rose, leading to the massive hight difference we see currently ingame. Could also explain the extinction of Hyrulian Dodongos, if they weren't killed off by the event, the surviving Dodongos would have either have too little remaining members to repopulate, or were hunted by the races of Hyrule at that time to prevent a future repeat.

I want to keep exploring the ruins right around Hyrule Castle, but those guardians are relentless, and I swear the Blood Moon decides to stalk me every time I start to look around. I'm curious about the ruins of the Chapel/Church in the small village outside the castle, and why it's marked on the map despite being just a ruined foundation with (seemingly) nothing spectacular around it.

I really hope we get to explore pre-calamity hyrule architecture in BOTW2, of course we don't know if the castle is in the trailer is pre-calamity, or post-malice-ganon destruction with the towers and shrines lowered back into the ground. but I'm hopeful either way! I truly truly love the architecture and these videos expounding on their design and meaning. One question does ANYONE know just wtf those Hyrulian buildings everywhere are supposed to be that have the square footprint, stairs running up to them, two walls with windows, and nothing else? are they just that alone or more that's missing (besides a roof), they are SO STRANGE to me, since they have such ornamental concrete work, adorned staircases, but only a tiny little platform for such a HUGE foundation. i wonder if it's just to avoid flooding - or maybe those are just teh first floors of multi-story houses?

It's eather that or where Daruk's bad driving took place. Since there's only 2 prints iv marked them and have looked for others. Only those i. Have found.

Really fascinating video. Well done!! I’ve been browsing a ton of KZfaq videos from all the usual suspects; Zeltik, etc, but some of the content in your video I actually haven’t come across before. Keep up the great work man!

I have always wondered what was up with that foot print! Thanks for giving a tad bit of insight!

Okay lets step a bit further. When i remember right, thpse three temples of the godesses are placed in a triangle. And something that makes me curios now knowing that they are no civilian houses, why is in one of them a chest with the hylian trousers, but no chest in the other two? And yes the tutorial of botw is great, but the area it plays in has something beautiful too especially when you look from the tower at the ruins

You "accidentally" implied that you can go deep in Zelda.

I’m currently playing through botw again, and I had no idea of any these! So amazing and I’m just more intrigued to explore this game even more

I think the book is just telling a prince tale. If i recall, blue was the color of zelda's family, so maybe just a story about an old ancestor in the royal bloodline when he was young

Ima comment so the KZfaq algorithm helps you out chief =)

I actually got another "secret" I have seen it when I wanted to travel around the map and saw in Akkala there's a sea (in the middle of the akkala map under Tarrey Town) but if you look closely you can see there are houses and some things. I think you can see it more when you pull up your magnetic tool. *I'm just shocked because If you think about it how it would have looked like before Calamity Ganon.*

I just wanna say, your Intro to the video is the coolest LoZ intro I've ever seen

What, you don’t deal with Lynels in your backyard?! Just kidding. 😆 Really cool point about the possible Dodongo footprints! I also didn’t notice Karin’s book; thanks for sharing that!

Zelda... yeah. That's the Z word. Lol

Stang sayz thank you for not saying the other freaking z word. Love you for this bud

Great video once again! Totally forgot about the Triforce reference xD That was a good one ;)

I think I actually knew about most of these, either by my own account, or by watching other videos about these kinda things, but I never noticed the dodongo tracks or the three mini temples on the Great Plateau. I also noticed the entrance to the Great Plateau at the bottom covered with rubble, but I never noticed that the lake above it was the staircase to it. Makes sense though.

Say it.... Zonai, Zonai, Zonai, Zonai...... I don't care how much its covered. I still would like to know more about the Zonai cuz there's so little we dont know about them. Make many more ZONAI videos... Idk ill watch all of them

I thought the kid was a boy

Wow I missed the Dodongo tracks, the book the child is reading, and the triforce treasures! I have noticed the three goddesses upon my many visits to the plateau, for arrows, and precious stones from the Talus. Thank you for the amazing video, I'll have to revisit the game some day!

I can't wait to become a channel member. Your videos are so amazing Hyrule Gamer!

Not enough people compare this game to Minecraft.

Breath Of The Wild definitely nailed exploration. I haven't had a game make me feel like that in a long time when it came to discovering stuff. The combat definitely needs some attention, but the feeling of exploration is amazing. Some of my best gaming memories are from the first Zelda game, and now this Zelda game has added to those special memories.

Can I just say how exciting it is to see that you have a video upload I haven't watched yet? I love your videos, man

9:43 Anyone else notice the Wind Waker reference in the page? The horse is drawn nearly identically to the Hero of Time in the Wind Waker prologue, and pose of the hero is also very similar.

Wow, your videos just keep getting better and better! I didn't notice any of these in the game, even though I've played for so long.

Just wanna say dude, your content delivery is getting better. Its never been bad but the way you put yourself across is getting better. Nice one 👍

Nice video man! You always have quality videos for me to check out :) Do you think you could go into detail about those “inaccessible rooms” in Hyrule Castle in a future video? Your mention of it really piqued my interest!

Oh wow! I never paid attention to the details of the other structures near the Temple of Time! Very cool!

It’s incredible just how much detail was poured into this game. Imagine spending several days animating a single bedroom.

The three smaller temples I find interesting. There has definitely been a shift through the Zelda series when it comes to theology. Starting in A Link to the Past we had the three goddesses. They seemed to have been worshipped as a group since it was their combined effort that created Hyrule and the Triforce. But since Skyward Sword there has been a shift to worshipping Hylia instead. From what I have seen it seems the goddesses left Hylia as their proxy since she is always depicted with wings, like an angel serving her gods. And here's an interesting theory to delve into. Did Hylia become a goddess again when Zelda eventually died after Skyward Sword. There is lots of worship to Hylia now but why would the people offer their prayers to a fallen goddess? And did she leave leave some of her power in the bloodline once she ascended again?

Hey!! Keep up the blessed work😁 LoZ is a lifestyle for me an a daily does of your vids our awesome! Do not know why you don’t have as many subscribers as other Zelda channels? Keep up the great work👌🏽

I'm so glad someone finally mentioned the entrance to the plateu . I thought I was the only one who was confused.

Man I love botw and the way I can just start it up whenever I want and find so many fun things to do even after beating the dlc and main story

Groose's Theme really does go with EVERYTHING - Also I actually learnt 4 new things! :D

Thanks for telling all these secrets. So cool!

The three godesses were first mentioned in "A Link to the Past", although not by name. They are the ones that created the triforce, each forging one of its three aspects. I don't quite understand why the people of Hyrule would've turned away from the three old godesses to worship Hylia. Maybe it is because the creation of the triforce caused the contionous battle between Link and Ganon, destroying the land over and over. Also, Nayru was the godess of water, din was the godess of fire and Faroe was the godess of thunder. Maybe Hylia is the godess of light that promises to relieve the people of Ganon once and for all.

When he was talking about the sunken treasure I assumed he would mention how the three rocks were like the goddess statues in windwaker and the treasure of the Master Sword sat in the middle, just beneath the surface.

But bro the Dodongo foot print's hit me HAAAAARRRRRRRDDDDDD. So much nostalgia flooding through me

i remember my first time starting a new game of BotW, I actually took more time exploring the plateau and found so many things Id never seen and found before.

My nose bled to many times while watching this. Curse you bloody noses
