When I'm not playing Tears of the Kingdom, I'm thinking about Tears of the Kingdom. There's no escape.

[listentothinlizzy]

It’s been a real dilemma trying to watch content and secrets while also attempting to not spoil anything for myself, thanks for no spoilers

[emerylsg]

you're not kidding about the game feeling overwhelming. there's so much do in this game it's insane. initially, I thought the sky islands were gonna be the only new significant part of the world. my mind was blown when I realized there is an entire underworld seemingly as big as the main map

[therdinazinastina]

I am surprised that using the skeleton horses to cross over the gloom in the Depths did not make it on the list. I found that out by accident.

[Insert_Bland_Name_Here]

Kinda related to the Lightroot thing, I just noticed four kinda interesting things while comparing the Surface and Depths maps in TOTK for the Great Plateau and the Great Abandoned Central Mine areas:
1: The Great Abandoned Central Mine main facility lies more or less right underneath the Temple Of Time Ruins on the Great Plateau (they're a little angled but otherwise the coordinates match perfectly)
2: The contours of the landscape are mirrored in the Depths. Mount Hylia is the highest point on the Great Plateau, but the Hylia Canyon Mine, which is located right underneath Mount Hylia, is one of the lowest traversible spots in the area.
3: The waterlines of the Surface map almost perfectly show where you'll find a cliff-wall in the Depths. If you look at the River of the Dead on the Great Plateau, and then go to the Depths, it all but perfectly lines up with a massive wall.
And 4, and perhaps the most interesting: If you look at the Shrine of Resurrection, and then go to the Depths map, you'll find the Secret Spring of Revival right below. The Secret Spring allows Link to heal while he's swimming around in it, and given its name and what we know happened in BOTW, is it possible that the water Link was lying in inside the Shrine of Resurrection was somehow taken directly from the Secret Spring of Revival? Or at least connected in someway, since the two seem to have similar properties.

[stoicjedi]

Is it just me or does the sheer quality and craftsmanship of this game feel almost overwhelming at times? I am in love with this game basically.

[ninetaledgundamx]

If you click on an ingredient in the menu, you can check the recipe. then from the recipe book, you can fill your hands with all the items required, instead of selecting them one by one

[KellyMcnelly]

I really like the contrast to botw which was post apocalyptic and you felt like you were very alone not knowing what happened. In totk people know link and he has much more support. I really like lookout landing with purah and the detail of castle town where you have the ruined houses of the calamity and then next to them foundations for new houses. Its just so so awesome to see hyrule again and get to newly explore it!! Im so excited to carry on playing!! I started playing yesterday and I spent 6 hours straight on the switch. Felt so irradiated and burned out after lmao I'm absolutely obsessed! ❤❤❤

[Cosmic_Snake]

This game is amazing. Last night I followed Farosh down the chasm near Lake Hylia, and took a long dragon ride on his horn throughout the depths, mapping points of interest and lighting things up little by little along the way. After that I stayed with him as he returned to the surface, which allowed me to go up and out of another chasm in the Gerudo Desert.

[MiniMii]

When I discovered for myself about the horses carrying over while playing the game I nearly cried tears of joy that I could have my trusty horse Noodle from so many years playing BOTW accompany me in this adventure as well

[swift]

5:11 It may be worth noting that if you don’t want to use a ruby for warmth you can alternatively go out and find a fire lizalfos and use its horn as a makeshift flame breaker weapon. Additionally if you don’t want to go and fuse a weapon yourself. You can find quite a few elemental weapons on eventide island.

[silverreaps]

That lightroot tip is literally game-changing thank you so much

[mrsdragonite]

The chasms remind me of Blackreach in Skyrim!

I didn't realize the chasms underground were so HUGE. When I first found Lightroot, I had no idea what it was, and was a little scared, lol. When I approached it and touch the root I was in awe.

This game is HUGE.

[chazon]

In regards to the Bubbul Frogs section, another thing to look out for when cave hunting are Blupees. if there's a cave with a still alive frog in it, one Blupee will be near the entrance of the cave, staring at said entrance. I don't know if EVERY cave has a Blupee, nor do I know if there's a "spawn requirement" but I started seeing them more after my first offering to Satoral.

[SWKBearcat]

So fun fact, I used an Amiibo to get Epona in Tears of the Kingdom, and it was the first horse I registered in the game. So imagine my surprise to see Epona from my BOTW save data carried over, and now I have TWO Epona in the game.

[Tooluckyformyowngood]

Ive died more times in the first 10 hours of this game than in all other Zelda games combined 😂 those monsters really go hard! Underground is absolutely wild too.

[pknepps]

Another tip: terrain in the depths is inverted to the surface. where there is a low point on the surface, there is a high point in the depths. That means if you set your map to the surface, you can see where you are going in the depths.

[crazywarriorscatfan]

The Depths astonished me. I certainly didn't expect it to be that massive

[Mystikeb]

That tip with Ultrahand and Recall is mind-blowing and incredibly powerful.

Lots of great tips in this vid, Zelt!

These are the kind of videos I love while we're still early into post-release. Very minor gameplay spoilers to help people who've already been playing for a bit, but no major story spoilers. As always, keep up the great content
