24 MORE Things You STILL Didn't Know In Zelda Breath Of The Wild

This time in Breath of the Wild, we'll be trying to wake sleeping monks, cook eggs in unconventional ways, and uncover Nintendo's secret code names for Zelda projects.

In the video above, we cover 24 facts, tips and tricks that aren’t quite as well known, ranging from secrets to glitches, some that are pretty simple and others that are fairly complex. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been out for four years at this point, and players have found some amazing things, intended or not, that keep the game and its sense of discovery feeling fresh.

How did I miss that the playing cards are referencing Nintendo’s roots of being a playing card company… Alice is still strange though. Anyways, let us know your favorite thing you learned this time! 😄

[ethie.j]

the dark beast gannon fight with all those guardians actually makes it look pretty epic

[nategwright]

I like that the Guardian AI almost has a natural difficulty scaling built into it. When you're new and scared of the Guardians, they relentlessly pursue you as you try to flee, but when you're seasoned and more confident, they settle down once you're willing to face them.

Something I've noticed is that I've found it tough to shoot Guardians' eyes from point-blank because I'm trying to chase the eye with the crosshair, meanwhile the guardian is trying to line up with where I already had it, making it seem like it's dodging my shot.

If you equip any ice-type melee weapon, it cools Link down, obviously. But if you pay attention, you'll see his skin flush in real time. And if you switch weapons, the skin flush will fade.
A nice little detail that I really like.

[MrZhdarkstar]

The banana distraction only works once during the fight though, so it's best to use this distraction when you really need it.

[erichunt]

Oh my god, the Guardians following your frontside makes so much sense... I thought I knew everything there was meant to be known in the game but yall taught me something new lol wow.

[JKSNsensei]

Probably even Gamespot didn’t imagine this video becoming a one of their longest running series!

[romanfuchs]

This is the best series ever! I think I know everything about Botw but Gamespot always proves me wrong! The videos are so good please keep the series going!

[lordrikudouzero]

In a post Elden Ring world, I’m amazed that BotW still has more discoveries!!!

One that almost brought a tear to my eye was the parallel with the sages from Ocarina of Time. Great content guys!!!

[xplorer]

When I had my first ever encounter with a lynel (west of mount lanayru), I tried to cheese him by just shooting all the arrows I had at his head. At some point I gave up, because I didn't have enough arrows (or rather a better bow) and he kept killing me by letting his arrows rain from the sky. So I tried to escape, ran off through the gate, past the memory spot, up the hills to the left and when I was quite far away already, he suddenly teleported right in front of me 😄
Never has a lynel done this again and it was both terrifiying and awesome 😄

[ZeroShadow]

If BotW has all this stuff that keep getting figure out 5 years after its release. Just think how much stuff will be packed into the sequel!

[diegogutierrezhernandez]

They actually should've added the guardians to the final fight it looks so cool

[proffessorlexicon]

Espeacily the guardian look direction one was cool. Thank you for making this series and showing us new stuff. Thumbs up!👍

1:29 This is NOT THE ONLY ONE the one Lynel near Hateno Village at the snowy mountains near to the Goddess water spring fountain (there is also a Hinox near the Lynel) this Lynel can also teleport to you up to the mountains and fight you this was discovered years ago by the German Nintendo Let’s Player called @Domtendo

This happened in his first Botw letsplay it’s in the first parts of his letsplay and the title of the video was something like „Erster Leunen kampf“ or „ Mini Ganon“

Update it was in Part 20 of his letsplay at Minute 18:00 and foreward there you can see the fight at the place that I mentioned earlier and the teleport in this fight :) I hope yo could help
Your Fact seems like a mistake :) maybe other Lynels can do this too but it’s undiscovered yet :D

[a.liguria]

We need swimming Hinoxes to be more present in botw2!
The fact that you have to go out of the way so much to force one of them into water (since no Hinox is found close to deep water), proves that the general idea of being able to off them by throwing them into a body of water was almost actually cut. And it would have been a shame!

[dcrdecoded]

Love these new additions. Just had a thought on the monks and their Tri-Force pose, I wonder if there’s correlation between the position and the respective trial? Would be interesting if they are based on wisdom, courage and power.

[MaeXM]

The amount of effort the developers and their team put into the game is really amazing and astonishing. I believe they'd feel a sense of accomplishment for every detail that was discovered by us in botw.

[JonathanRiverafrickinnice]

Honestly, having the monks there when Link pulls the sword makes it better.

Before Breath of the Wild even came out, I envisioned a final boss fight that somehow involved dodging a massive amount of guardians; it only makes sense that Calamity Ganon would pull in all his available protectors to help in the battle. It's a shame to think about what could have been
