What do you wish YOU knew before you started Breath of the Wild?

Link:

**meets long lost love**
No expression
**off to save the world**
No expression
**picture time**
Look at this charmer!

[Isaax]

I lost it at "For the *love of Hylia*... _that's not a horse!_"

If you get frozen with no stamina left and happen to fall into water, the game actually allows you to float like an iceberg, you can get your stamina back, break the ice by shacking, then swim away uncathed.

I was having trouble catching up with a fast horse, so I shot it with an ice arrow and hopped on it once it thawed. Now it's my main horse.

Don't pull out a bomb arrow on Death Mountain x_x

[brycemartin]

While paragliding, have your Sheikah Slate rune set to remote bombs and press L to drop a bomb below you and detonate it. Great for bombing enemy camps from above.

i love how the only time when link has any sort of expression is in the most minor task like for example;
taking a selfie
gaining stamina back
throwing a random fucking mushroom that may or may not be drugged into a bowl and cooking heroin successfully

this just show HOW MUCH DETAIL AND CARE they put into this game! I'm just amazed

[AxelFireDancer]

I’ve found you can train your horse to jump more effectively by petting it each time it lands a jump. My horse will jump over pretty much every piece of terrain now without even so much as flinching.

Me: "Oh boy! I'm so glad I got my favorite horse, Goober, back after I accidentally killed him while facing a swarm of Moblins early in the game!"
Horse: "HELL IS REAL! HELL IS REAL!"

Did you know that bomb arrows don't work when it's raining. Which in hindsight make perfect sense but never thought they would put it in the game

[nikkitatesta]

Why swim when you can just ice block across lol

[Swift]

conversations with NPCs change if you talk to them while naked

[lindadaa]

Apparently you can pick up a cucco, take it into battle and trick the enemy into attacking it. You can imagine what happens next..

[LocherYT]

They game autosaves if your battery life runs out or if you prematurely pressed the Power button.

Using the Stasis module allows you to scan the area for suspicious stones (Korok Seeds, Boulders or stone plates) and also chests underwater. Having it upgraded even scans for enemies so you'll never be ambushed by camoflaged enemies ever again.

Destroy all the legs of a walking Guardian for triple loot and make it helpless, as you always stay on his blindside while attacking.

Your bomb module can destroy breakable boulders, ores and even trees, so save up your axe's endurance for enemies!

Hope this game sets a precedent for less hand holding and explanations in games.

Looking at you Ubisoft.

Has anyone else realised, that horses will follow roads on their own wile riding them without you steering them?

[EnteIexia]

I just discovered that you can change your *Horse's appearance and gear!* At some (but not all) stables, you can find a female hylian tending the horses. Talk to her while your on you're horse. The only thing is she would only customize if the horse has a strong bond with you so choose a horse that has MAX bond. She can change the mane color/type, bridle, and saddle. You can receive an *Extravagant Bridle* from *Blynne* in the same stable by beating his time in the horse course. Also, if you catch the royal horse, an old man near that stable would give you the royal saddle & briddle.

wow. i never even tried riding the other animals, nor did i even come across a bear in my travels :0
