We're back! And we've got even more to show on the next episode, so make sure to stick around! What was your favorite thing here? 😄

[Sir_Brutal]

One tip I found is while fighting a phantom ganon, my 8 year old son told me to use a dazzle fruit on my bow against him, so I did. It does a small stun on him, but more importantly it gets rid of the gloom effect that follows him around so you can get in close and hit him with your sword without getting gloomed, I thought that was a pretty cool side effect of the dazzle fruit.

[hzmqqfb]

I love how in the video where you talked about the hidden apple, someone commented something like " Who knows what we'll get in totk? Maybe there will be two hidden apples!" Well, you got your wish.

[randomwatermelons]

Personally my favorite detail. In BOTW there was one flower hidden in the Deku trees mouth, if you glitched your way into it. Pretty sure this was either forgotten about or some developer thing. Now as a reference to that there is a korok living there surrounded by similar flowers if you ascend from the korok shops.

[TotPocket]

A detail I just noticed is that the flame, frost, and shock emitters resemble the heads of the dragons Dinraal, Naydra, and Farosh while also sharing their elemental effects with their respective dragon! It's such a neat detail that I believe also adds some lore to the game if you look into it deeper

[USMCbrantley]

And so it begins. Here's to 6 years plus of even more things you didn't know in TotK

[Michael-fdgx]

Chasm lynels can be found under horse stables in the chasm. The means a lynel is near the lightroot the corresponds to the shrine near a stable.

[Thorn]

In Gerudo town, if you go to the voe class in the town proper (not underground) you can fuse the desk up front to your sword or shield. As you walk through Gerudo town, people will mention it, particularly the Voe class teacher saying "that desk...."

[echo]

I love the fact that when the bokoblins try to cling onto the battle talus platforms before they are yeeted off

[Clubs]

Probably the best follow-up I've seen is the cooking book in Ashai's house in Gerudo Town (the teacher from the Voe and You classes). The book exists in both BotW and TotK, and if you interact with it, the game will say that the book is too high up for Link to read. You could drag a barrel from the other side of town to try and read the book, but the game displays the same message still. In TotK however, they accounted for this and now Link doesn't need to ask the Amazonian lady to read the book for him.

[zeromontalvan]

I just learned that fake trees drop at least 3 of wood, sometimes even 4 but normal trees rarely drop 2

[thetoadster]

I'm so happy this series is back for Tears of the Kingdom! Can't wait to see all the things we can learn and discover!

[Bittamin]

I don’t know how they managed to make a game that still felt so much like the original while still being SO much more than originally anticipated. This might be the best game I’ve played as an adult

[thebosstin]

Wow, most of these videos ive seen 90% of the tricks, but in this one i only knew a couple. Massive props!

[mysryuza]

Despite the game, articles and videos telling you that you can’t reach Korok Forest through the Lost Woods, you can actually still do it by following the direction of the spores in the air. There’s another person who discovered it several days before me, but in my case, I was very stubborn to accept that we “can’t” go through it. There is a small collection of animals lurking there, heavily implying that the devs knew what they were doing.

[luuma]

Riju has sand seal plushies, and you can fuse these to weapons. They have the same bouncy effects as mushrooms, but with a slight damage boost

[reecec]

I cant believe that one of BotW's first glitches found was whistle sprinting, but TotK's first is duplication

[JadedJasantha]

I'm amazed at how many of these I didn't know even after over 150 hours in game

[shayanredmond]

I just realized that shrine names are made opposite underground. For example: The Jiosin Shrine (located in Hyrule field) is the opposite of the Nisoij lightroot right underground. That's cool!

[matdog]

Whenever the construct bosses do their high flying mode, you can rewind and ride up the blocks they throw at you
