Did I miss anything cool? Let me know and request a comparison you'd like me to do next below!

12:11 You lucked out while walking through that tunnel. In TOTK, a gloom spawn sits in the deepest part of the bend in that tunnel. Since an NPC that wanders around on that path to the tunnel warns Link of the gloom spawn, I'm pretty sure that path stopped being used due to the gloom spawn.

22:03 All that tells us is that this guy hasn't left the hot spring in over 6 years.

24:58 The sign is just the end of a series of 10 signs named "Death Mountain Marker". Starting below the stone arch at the entrance of Eldin region, North-West of Foothill Sable, the signs are following the path towards the top of the mountain, passing through Goron City and Bridge of Eldin. Notably, Markers #5 !! (Welcome to Goron City) and #6 (Abandoned North Mine, Heat level: ⭐⭐, No unauthorized access) are absent, while Marker #3 (Southern Mine) has changed to "Mine-Cart Land". Also, Markers #2, #6 and #8 in BOTW were warning players about the increase of heat levels, while in TOTK this is missing due to the changed climate of the region.

I was hoping to touch the path from Bridge of Eldin upward that you take with Yonobo in BOTW… For example, the cannon you use to lower the bridge in now a camp with 2 Moblins (I see them as call back to the 2 who were bullying Yonobo) and 1 Bokoblin. The 1st cannon you use to shoot Rudania is replaced with a camp of 2 Bokoblins and 1 Moblin, the 2nd cannon replaced by a Korok and the 3rd is replaced by an Addison sign.
Eldin has changed so much between the two games and it's expected to miss things here and there, but it doesn't matter. I love the series and learned a lot in this video, as usual. Can't wait for what's next! Keep up the good work! ❤

Thanks for your hard work, interesting comparisons. I would like to see other regions

[TTHBLOX_]

What timing! Just finished your last comparison yesterday

[RipVanFish]

I’ve been waiting for this one! :D

also, I just noticed you changed your… character (?) On the channel. Idk what to call it…. The sleepy guy is gone lol.

[garb]

27:00 im pretty sure that rock was used in a quest with crazy skeleton lady? but i think you need to complete the part of the quest in hebra first before she goes here

[links_hairtie]

Great video! I love the Koroks, definitely down to learn more about them. It's interesting seeing how much variation there is. 🍃😊

[barbiezinha]

eldin is probably the area with the most changes going from botw to totk & i love it!! 🥰

[MxDiagnosis]

3:08 I don't think this is when the construct got the Purah Pad forever, Mineru wanted to unlock/fix the travel capabilities which we see Zelda use in the Dagger memory

[imboredhelp]

7:25 This cave is part of a side quest where you go there at the right time and the sunlight shines through the top entrance making the ground in there glow

[rat_mikey]

I would absolutely love to hear more about koroks 👁👁

[psuedonym]

I was gonna comment these 2 things you missed, but I noticed you replied to & hearted comments pointing these out already. Still, it'd feel weird just saying the last part of the comment by itself, so here's what I was going to say:

12:39 Hey, I think you missed a certain *hand*sy enemy here in this tunnel. Or maybe you somehow never *spawn*ed it.

26:57 This is part of the sidequest "Eldin's Colossal Fossil". But you have to meet the quest giver on the road from the East Akkala Stable to the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab to start it.

Also, I would like to see your info on the Koroks.

[Cookie_Luggi]

29:10 this was actually the last korok i ever found. I was stuck on 999 and had to look through a map online a few times before i finally managed to locate it. I now have that spot marked on my map with a little leaf icon to honor korok number 1000 lol.

[coneyislandqueen]

fun fact: Death Mountain wasn’t always lava covered! an older goron mentions that he was looking for something when he was younger, but then the mountain was covered in lava soon after

[TiltCntrlz]

26:56 you have to put the rock in the big skeleton's eye socket. It's its eye. Also down for serious KOROK business.

[The_cgull]

26:57 Pretty sure it goes in one of the eye sockets iirc

[LibraGaymer]

4:08 in botw i think it’s interesting that no koroks are up on death mountain itself… so maybe they were scared of rudania
