Busting MYTHS in Breath of the Wild!! [15 Stats Questions ANSWERED!!]

The world of Breath of the Wild is filled with unknowns - there's such a huge variety of game hidden mechanics present that the exact details behind them can be hard to follow. After spending last few months trying to break these major elements of this game apart to share with you all (as a part of my Stats of the Wild series), I decided that this video would be composed solely out of the miscellaneous questions you guys have asked me directly to solve!! All of the topics in this video are much more bite sized than what I usually go over, so I hope you find the wide variety of info helpful!! :D

Here’s my question: How is the weather cycle generated in different areas of Hyrule? All I know is that some areas have the same weather for several in-game days while some others change every few hours.

It's like Mythbusters...but ZELDA!

I would also like to note the "Panic Blood Moon" so named by speedrunners for why it happens: the game's memory is being overloaded with how many respawning things have been moved/killed/flagged, and forcibly triggers a Blood Moon to clear it, even rushing the game clock to make it happen if the memory is really stressed. This can be an issue in some of the longer speedrun categories as a time loss, as they can fling themselves across the overworld and load a lot of flags.

So this is what a PHD in botw would be

[theravenpirate]

The fact that using fire attacks against a frozen enemy does absolutely nothing extra is baffling to me

[amariboxill]

For the first one, there are also panic Blood Moons which don’t follow that system. They aren’t linked to enemy kills, but storage space.

thank you so much for this series; because of the ones you've made so far I felt more confident trying to tackle Master Mode. Knowing about the xp system, shield system and stackable boosts and effective cooking methods let me gauge easily how to tackle problems in this harder mode, especially since I'm not great at fighting. I can get by and take down anything in the game but it's not natural instinct for me on how to move and attack. Having an understanding of how all this works internally did wonders for my confidence and I'm happily breezing through Master Mode during quarantine. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Here’s my question: how does the wind or breeze affect how fast you go when you are paragliding or on a raft? If the wind were going against you how much would it slow you down and vise versa.

Hidden stats in the game are well, hidden so I appreciate you making this series.

If you didnt know: the reason satori mountain glows during a waxing crescent moon is because that is the moon phase when satoru iwata was born. Since he died, nintendo wanted to pay respect
