15 Early Game Tips & Secrets - Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

[Music] thank you tears of the kingdom is finally out and it's massive it's another adventure through the vast world of breath of the wild but the kingdom of Hyrule has changed and expanded significantly between the games the sheer scale of this game world and the amount of Secrets and mechanics crammed into it can be pretty overwhelming at the start so I've put together some tips to guide you through the early stages of Tears of the Kingdom as well as some secrets and details that I found interesting this video won't contain any big story spoilers but it does assume that you have started playing the game and exploring its world and will naturally cover some locations and game mechanics that you won't have encountered unless you've left the great sky island and begun your adventure on the surface and below it so don't worry about this video spoiling the game's story but if you'd rather play this game completely blind then I'd advise skipping this one recall is the final Ability Link unlocks on the great Sky Island the power to rewind time for certain objects and send them back where they came from obviously this is incredibly useful in situations like sending projectiles back at enemies and lifting chunks of Fallen Islands back into the sky but recall is unbelievably powerful and can be used in so many different useful ways if you've spent what feels like ours building an ultimate zone eye Contraption only to see it fall off the edge of an island or into a shrine's bottomless pit just use recall the act of just selecting the ability pauses time and the ability itself has a very long range meaning you can use it to recover something you've lost in most situations recall can also be used to reverse you moving and object with ultra hand for example if you need to use a wing to glide through the air but don't have any carts to attach to it or rails to place it on Instead try positioning the wings somewhere in the air then bringing it down to your feet if we climb on and use recall on the wing it will rewind this Ultra hand movement and lift the device into the air from where we're able to Glide freely using recall on Ultra hand movements really opens up an entire new world of possibilities using this ability I'm sure what I've discovered so far is only scratching the surface foreign [Music] just like breath of the Wilds one of the most efficient ways to get around the surface of Hyrule in this game is on Horseback horses Can Be Tamed by mounting them and having enough stamina to hold on and can then be stored at Stables allowing link to access his horses from any stable he finds across the world if the switch your playing tears of the Kingdom on has saved data for breath of the wild then your registered horses carry over into the sequel simply attempt to register a new horse at a stable even if you don't have one to register to trigger the dialogue and you'll be able to see your old friends in this new game [Music] once you obtain the poorer pad on the great Sky Island you're able to use it like breath of the wild chica slate as a map travel log and as a telescope notably in this game you're able to open the purapad scope even while in the air which is very useful for creating map pins from high above the surface [Music] foreign material slider accessed by pressing up on the d-pad can be sorted differently by pressing y including by fuse attack power and by most used this menu can be used to easily drop materials to fuse with and even to throw materials by holding R to ready a throw then holding up on the d-pad [Music] at various points link is required to Traverse freezing environments where without special clothing to keep him warm he'll take damage from the cold this can of course be prevented by cooking meals with the cold resistance effect which keeps link warm until the timer runs out but the same effect can also be achieved by carrying different equipment carrying a lit torch will keep link warm but this isn't very practical instead it's possible to fuse a ruby to a weapon or Shield to create an item that while on links back will keep him from freezing rubies are relatively rare and expensive and can be used to create very powerful fire arrows so it might be worth saving them but a weapon or Shield fused with one won't lose any durability while doing its job keeping link warm only when it's actually used so it's possible to always keep the same Ruby fused item in your inventory to tackle the colds until you find some warmer clothing [Music] cooking is just as essential in tears of the Kingdom as it was in breath of the wild allowing link to combine ingredients to make meals that will prepare him for whatever he's faced with cooking up a meal plays the same jingle as in the previous game but in tears of the Kingdom link hums older Zelda songs as he cooks [Music] um [Music] cooking hasn't only been improved with adorable humming though tears of the kingdom includes a cookbook allowing you to easily log and scroll through a list of meals you've already cooked including the ingredients used to make it to access the cookbook select any meals you currently have in your meals inventory tab then press X to see its recipe opening the list of every meal that's been logged there this is a feature that was sorely missing from breath of the wild and it's great to see it added here foreign [Music] flocks of birds often Circle above sheikah shrines giving the player a clue to their location even from a distance this doesn't seem to always be the case in tears of the Kingdom but flocks of birds are still worth noticing they seem to circle over various different points of interest I've found birds flying above shrines above Overworld bosses like high noxes but they also seem to hover particularly often above chasms as well as smaller caves the upheaval also caused these giant chasms to open up in the ground each surrounded by a menacing Aura of Gloom most can be spotted from the sky above making them easy to scout out but others can be hidden in caves or Wells obscured from above I found multiple chasms by searching below flocks of birds but even if they don't lead to a Chasm they're definitely worth following foreign [Music] at the bottom of the chasms are the depths a dark World underneath the kingdom a map just as large as the surface above it shrouded in a Perpetual pitch Darkness to illuminate areas of the depths link needs to find light Roots strange plants with a zonai symbol that glow brightly when activated as well as function as fast travel points it can be difficult to find light Roots down here in the depths but there's a trick each light root is found directly underneath a shrine on the surface almost as if both of them the shrine and the light roots are part of the same mysterious zonai structure in fact the names of the light roots are just the names of the shrines above them spelled backwards fitting for the same location in this mirrored nightmarish version of Hyrule this makes it possible to use the locations of shrines and light routes to find each other if you're in the depths but have previously discovered a shrine nearby upon the surface then you know that there will be a light route found at that location in the depths and vice versa if you discover a light root you'll know that there'll be a shrine found just above it which makes discovering some of the more hidden ones easier [Music] The Depths are by far the best place to find zonite the material harnessed to power zonai technology exploring the depths and progressing through the side quests you find there will reward link with a lot of zonite which can then be processed by Forge constructs into crystallized charges at a rate of three to one 100 crystallized charges can then be traded in at a crystal Refinery for an extra energy cell on links here allowing him to power nearby zonai devices for longer you will occasionally find large zoneites too which can be traded in at Forge constructs for large crystallized charges each counting for 20 regular ones both a forge construct and a crystal Refinery can be found on the great sky island but additional ones are found in Hyrule and the depths too [Music] Link's battery meter can be replenished by using Zone eye charges or if it's already full increased with temporary yellow battery meters allowing him to use sonai technology for far longer than he should be able to at that point large zonai charges are even more useful in this regard they supercharge your energy cell preventing it from depleting for a short while though both regular and large zonai charges are useful to gather capsules from dispensers it's worth saving a few to use in times of need to give your vehicles a little extra juice [Music] zonai Rockets are among the most useful pieces for vehicle building giving anything they're strapped to a massive boost before expiring but they're perhaps at their most useful when fused to Lynx equipment not only does fusing a rocket to link Shield to launch him into the sky but fusing Rockets to arrows causes them to travel very quickly and in a perfectly straight line which can be very useful in situations where long-range sniping is necessary Rockets can be reliably obtained from a couple of the zonai dispenser machines found on sky islands like this one found in the South Hyrule Sky archipelago foreign [Music] charges into the hopper giving out more capsules the more charges added at one time it's also possible to add large Zone eye charges to dispensers which yield much more capsules than the smaller versions adding almost anything else to a dispenser causes them to spit it back out but you are able to deposit Zone I construct horns in return for capsules you'll only ever get one capsule back per horn no matter the Horn's level so it's best to only use construct one horns rather than anything better foreign the many caves that opened up due to the upheaval are often filled with treasure and infested with monsters but each is also home to a bubble frog a mysterious creature that appears to be connected to Satori the lord of the mountain when defeated each bubble frog leaves behind a bubble gem a collectible item that can be traded into a strange individual encountered near the Woodland stable every cave on Hyrule surface and the islands above it houses a bubble frog once link has collected the bubble gem from a cave the Cave's map icon is marked with a tick to show this the upheaval revealed a lot of caves though so it can be hard to make sure you've found all of them to make this easier finding a cherry blossom tree and offering fruit to the altar will magically highlight every cave in the surround area making hunting bubble frogs a lot easier thanks for watching this video if you liked it leave a like or subscribe if you haven't already for More Tears of the Kingdom content I am
