Let me know if you have any other questions you wish to see answered about this system, or about Breath of the Wild in general!! Spreading more knowledge is always awesome, and I appreciate you all for watching the video!!

I wonder if someone could do a "no alerts" challenge run for BotW, inspired by full-on stealth games like the MGS series. Get through as much of the game as possible (not counting obviously impossible situations like boss fights) without ever being detected by enemies. Ganon won't even know you're awake!

Those two guys at Kakariko village: *are arguing about whether defense or speed is better for hunting* The player knowing stealth is best: *watching in amusement*

Wow, I never knew about the detection angles and ranges and I’ve been playing since release! The comparison of what you can do without being heard with and without the Sheikah set was super helpful too, usually I crouch and try to go as slow as possible even when wearing it, so it’s nice to know that I don’t have to be that careful! I’m gonna go slaughter some bokoblins now in their sleep lol

Bethesda could learn a great deal from this system, just because you have a high stealth skill shouldn't mean you can just crouch-walk right nearby characters with no cover of any kind, and get away with it. That and hearing, no clue why that isn't really simulated like Botw does it.

Will you do a part 2 for animals? I would be very instructive to learn for example 1) how do beetles behave: Do they have vision? Is approching them hiding behind their tree helpful at all? Is the Energetic rhino beetle really more easily frightened than the other 2? 2) or why fishes flee before you land onto them but not when you swim right into them? 3) or WHY THE F* are the wolves in the north-east of Satori Mountain (where Summerwing butterflies gather) always already panicking when you come from above? When did they spot you? That makes me mad! I'm sure you want to know too!

9:40 moblin incinerated by lightning shortly after assasinated; body completely gone from existence.

Glad I'm early on this one! Ready to be educated ^^

One thing I find useful when you do get caught... to shorten the time they spend "attentive" and trying to locate you, Stasis them if you've unlocked it to work on enemies. You can even unlock them right away if you wish. The act of being frozen in time completely resets their suspicion and makes them immediately walk back to their spawn point and go back to normal.

I wonder if it’s possible to beat the game without ever being detected (besides Ganon of course) I would think maybe, except Ganon’s castle seems tough.

YES! I’ve been waiting ever since I requested this!

I love this series. Thank you for doing them. Stealth is by far my favorite armor set. You mention that level 1, 2 and 3 stealth affects the enemies ability to hear you. This is determined by how many pieces of gear (or food buffs) you are using. You don't mention anything about the fairy upgrades though, and I am convinced that this makes a difference not only in the defensive value of the armor but I think it reduces the distance at which enemies and fauna can see you. I don't have any code knowledge but I spend a lot of time in stealth gear. I have approached enemies to be close enough where they should see me but didn't. Then, while standing still I change out of the stealth gear, and the enemy instantly sees me. I have also noticed that the star rating of the gear seems to affect how bugs and other animals detect your presence. For instance, with a 4* upgrade you can sprint past bugs and they won't notice you unless you pretty much touch them.

Also for Botw 2: Deku Nuts and Sheika Smoke Bombs would be awesome items for the devs to add to enhance the stealth gameplau, both existing items in that world! (The Smoke bombs not normally used by Link, but the Sheika have been seen using them in past games, so why not?)

9:40 Jesus, that moblin got sent to hell with that lightning strike!

Thank you for sticking by this absolute gem of a game. I can’t possibly imagine getting another game that affects me quite like this one.

Very informative. Love stealth in Zelda (most specially the amour) but I never understood it. Thanks! 🥶🥶🥶😤😤

Love this series! The videos are always so well done and every inch of em is fun to watch. Not to mention the research that has to go into all of them - thanks Croton :D

This was pretty much helpful, now im gonna fo a sheikah run Also i would like to see how the weather works in different areas and what is the weather exclusive loot

I have poured so many hours into this game and beaten it so many times, I had NO idea you could distract lizalfos with fish!

Stealth is one of my favourite things in the game - and now there's a croton video on it :D

This game is about 5 years old and people are STILL finding out new stuff and details about it! Love this game so much, keep up the great work!

Another important thing about stealth is that it also affect the collectable bugs. With stealth level 3, you can just walk up to and gather them.

I can't watch it right now, but I just _have_ to thank you for the mechanics (or "nerd") video. Now I can't wait to watch it! ♥

This was an amazing topic! I Love how beating other, less open world like games could be more specific using only stealth like splintercell, but this makes it more understandable to do it in this game too!!

3 years of playing and I'm still learning new stuff! I recently found out that you can catch insects fairly easily on the Great Plateau in the beginning of the game just by crouching and walking up on them slowly. I probably should have figured that out on my own, but... I didn't. I just waited until I had the stealth set.

The cones explain so much! I would also like to know lynel detection. Nothing escapes a lynels eye

Helpful information! I knew some of this already, but I didn’t know about the different levels of stealth and the monsters’ detection field. Thanks!

I'd definitely buy an unofficial guidebook made by Croton.(Maybe even assisted by Kleric, Limcube, or any other people who know way too much about Breath of the Wild)

Finally, I've been waiting for ages for another BOTW mechanics video!

The good old explanation point the point where everything is explained and made clear to you

Love your videos! Considering that, other than when in battle, the Stealth Armor is my favorite set and the set I use most and strive to get first in all my runs, this video was especially helpful and interesting! PLUR!!

This video is amazing! I have been playing the game since release and I had no idea about the detection angles 😅 Thanks for sharing this info with us :)

Awesome video. I love doing stealth in this game but never knew about the chain sneak attacks. I’ll have to fire up a new master mode game soon and try this.

Bless you for this series. In this episode, nothing really blew my mind, but I appreciate your efforts and their confirmations of my assumptions.

I’d like to see another video on elixirs. I thought I understood cooking until I checked the ingredients of the potions beedle gives you. You can use crabs and fish in making potions, and I thought you couldn’t mix food and monster parts

Thank you so much for the new episode, Croton! I really like this series, sometimes even re-watch it even.

This is great! I always forget about using arrows, etc. to make distraction noises.

Does walking on snow or sand effect your sound output? I always feel that sand and snow lizalfos can hear me sneaking up on them more effectively than normal variants.

Stats of the Wild - would be a great book. You got all the content and data. I'd buy it!

You are amazing! I wish I could shake your hand to thank you for all you have taught me.

Oooh a vid!!! You make me want to keep playing this game!

Oh my gosh, I've been waiting for so long for this, can't believe it's real... Thank you for your work and research !

I didn't think I would see another one of these. These are definitely the best BOTW videos on KZfaq.

Yay! Another stats video!

I honestly did not know this about Zelda breath of the wild this is really interesting

Somehow I missed this one! Awesome to see another stats of the wild video!

thanks for making these i learn so much more from these videos and i need to know everything and these really help.

That was super technical! And I love technical!

Great work Croton!

This was interesting, and something I hadn’t really considered. It might be a bit tedious, but I think you should make a follow-up video or just a chart for each enemy and animal's field of vision and hearing. I think a lot of people would find that interesting.

This video just made my Friday better

Been waiting for this one

Yes I was missing your stats series! stealth is so fun

Very good vid man keep up the great work!

Great video Croton! Thank you

Once again the king returns with those good ol stats of the wild

YES MORE STATS OF THE WHILD!!! I love your vid the r soo good 👍💚

Great and really informative as always!

I mainly use stealth gear for one clear advantage: catching bugs. The bugs and critters are also sensitive to the sound system. I can just full speed walk up to some of the most skittish critters to just grab them.

I am new to botw and love to learn the mechanics of new games I play. I've seen several of your videos now and this is the most important one to me. This one made me click subscribe and I asked myself why I hadn't already. I also appreciate the proper subtitles. Thank you for making these videos how you do and keep em coming

YES CROTON THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEO

its so refreshing to see a notification from this channel

You make some of the best Zelda thumbnails I've seen. As someone who does youtube here and there, they're very nice 👌

Finnaly my sneaky playstyle that is actually keeping the game interesting EVEN BETTER!!!

Very interesting, thanks for the research! Now what I want for the sequel is enemies that can detect Link through smell.

Thank you so much, I really wanted to know this!!

Very helpful as always!

Croton your so amazing!!! I love all of these videos soo much!!!!! I’m gonna sneak a lot more now 😁😁

I don’t even play botw any more, yet I always enjoy you videos. Keep up the good work!

Love this series, keep it up

I knew enemies had detectionangles but never had a clear picture of what they were like. This vid cleared up a lot of my questions, thanks Croton

@1:55 nice job by the Boko buffing their club with elemental damage

THANK YOU I NEEDED THIS

Super cool info! I used to think the Guardians only had vision and no hearing though it might just be that their vision is so good and instant alert that it doesn't matter They definitely act interestingly when they're being hit without knowing where the player is

Cool! Can be handy for your "Silver Lynel Safari Speedrun"

Lfg love these types of vids

I’ve finally decided to go back and finish it, I got it on Wii U at launch and played a little then I got it on my switch when I got my switch and i finally decided to play through it, so thank you

Thx for the actual effects on the different stealth levels. I think this is important enough for the game team to explicitly state this in game. But getting back to topic - if the 2nd degree is simply allowing to run(not sprint) to enemy while not close enough, I feel like this level 2 stealth is pretty useless since 1)How do I know what is the range for this running detection? 2)I could just do level 1 stealth while stealth hopping the whole time and it's much more affirmative. Thx for the raining weather=Level 1 stealth information! That was really helpful to actually be able to quantify how much rain environment contribute to stealthing. Again, still feel like the game should explicitly state this.

What I've learned from this video is that I clearly need to find some stealth stuff in the game!

This research is really impressive! You did a great job converting the code into understandable measurements. I absolutely love this. 😍

You’re so underrated! You put so much work into your vids you need more subs!

Really helpful tips thanks

YAS! NEW VID!

Just subbed after seeing your comment on the botw 2 delay video. A channel all about zelda? Sign me up!

This is very good to know.

10:45 That Lizalfos had no clue what hit him. His friend didn't even bat an eye, that's how sneaky you were.

Man dude. Yet another awesome video! Kinda wish you could have included the masks in as well though, that in its own right is a stealth aspect too. But I'm definitely glad I got to see this! Keep up the good work!

6:16: that wolf tho

Amazing! Thank you for all the research and effort put into this, what a cool mechanic! Also is that paper Mario music at the end? Love it!

Thanks I needed it

I only suspected that tall grass helps with stealth after playing Pokémon Legends Arceus. Thanks you for confirming that.

Would love to see a weather stats of the wild, great video

aw yeah new croton video

Great vid

I have had Botw for a bit now but haven't really played. Inspired to start it up today I think.

Croton can literally do a botw video on rocks and I wouldn’t hesitate to watch it.

on-screen UI: "sneakstrike" Croton: "stealthstrike"

Though it isn't useful to people listening to the game sounds, the sound waves on the hearing meter help deaf and hard of hearing or people who might be playing in muted mode be able to understand this mechanic visually!

I love your vids keep up the good work!!

1:10 okay, that is a mighty janky bomb trajectory, right there.
