favorite Tunes one of the game's most Charming Easter eggs started making the rounds soon after launch it appears link is more than familiar with the soundtracks of his own series as when he cooks you might hear him humming familiar Tunes players have noticed some classic tracks such as Zelda's Lullaby epona's song and the franchise's main theme thank you [Music] however he'll also harm newer songs like Ballad of the Goddess and cass's theme [Music] this franchise has always been great at incorporating its cherished music in different ways so it was nice to see these songs pop up here on top of it being adorable to boot thank you [Music] cycling a name tears of the Kingdom gives players a new bag of tricks to play with though the one you likely use most is ultra hand it can pick up many objects but is also used to weld things together to create vehicles and Contraptions however Ultra hand is not an original name [Music] Nintendo recycled it from a toy It produced before becoming a game company first released in 1966. it was actually created by gunpei yokoi who also created the iconic Game Boy it has been referenced in several Nintendo releases though this is the second instance of it in a Zelda game in Majora's Mask 3D you can spot one hanging on a wall in the Clock Town bomb shop the shrine of Resurrection [Music] for any players feeling nostalgic about breath of the wild the sequel rewards you for taking the time to explore the original game's opening area if you head back to the shrine of Resurrection on the great Plateau you'll see its entrance is covered by Vines inside is a healing pool but in the back there's a hole that drops you into a small yiga Clan hideout link will be attacked by a couple of them should he try to steal their bananas and the steward construct will give you a new schema stone for defeating them right next door you can also revisit the Temple of Time to earn the nostalgic fabric Which models your paraglider after the one in the first game foreign rocks [Music] koroks are back in tears of the Kingdom either to your Delight or your displeasure other than the heavy backpack toting koroks who need help reaching their friends how you find them hasn't changed all that much one of the common hiding places of these forest dwellers isn't a pattern of rocks which requires you to find a missing one to complete it however if you don't feel like searching and you happen to have a weapon or shield with a rock fuse to it already that will also do the trick [Music] you don't even have to drop the item just step into the empty space while it's equipped [Music] Divine Helms [Music] you used the champion amiibos in breath of the wild you'd earn their respective characters Divine Helm these masks resemble each Divine beast and give you a nice perk they appear again in tears of the Kingdom but are unlocked through a side quest after completing each of the four main dungeons foreign [Music] if link is wearing one the sage from the corresponding region will also Don a mask just the ancient version of it that we see sages of the past wearing it's a nice aesthetic touch but it's also cool to see another connection between sages of the present and those of the past returning home [Music] in breath of the wild you could fulfill a side quest to earn yourself a house in Hutto Village as soon as players gained access to the town in tears the first thing many of us did was check back up on it in between games Zelda either took it over or moved in with link the photos across the wall all connect to the lucky clover Gazette side quests which has link following up on possible princess sightings foreign [Music] if your switch has saved data for the first game's Champions ballad DLC you'll also spot that group shot of the heroes finally going down the nearby well reveals Zelda's secret study a chest that holds Link's hair band from the first game and a diary that tells you where to get a new Champion's tunic oh my God familiar styles just like breath of the wild the game offers plenty of armor sets and masks that reference past games in the series The only difference is that in tears you don't have to buy DLC or amiibo to earn them it was a lot of fun tracking down each piece of the awesome Fierce deity armor through a side quest though many others are found in the depths you can dress this link like your favorite Incarnation whether he be the hero of wins or the hero of Twilight items like mid-ness helmet and Majora's Mask also come with welcome benefits the armor of Awakening is a nice new addition which humorously pays homage to the cartoony links Awakening remake the lone Guardian look up due to their aggressive behavior and the stressful music that accompanied them we weren't too bummed to learn that Guardians don't appear in tears of the Kingdom in fact the majority of Sheikh attack from the first game including the Divine beasts and towers are gone without an explanation however there is one remnant of the sheikah's machines and it appears in a pretty Fitting Place [Music] if you head to the hateno ancient Tech Lab and climb to the top you'll see a deactivated Guardian tied to the roof there's even a korok hiding on its head [Music] with champion themes here I go we love a scaling theme and each of the four main Dungeons and tears of the Kingdom has one more instruments and parts are added to the music with each objective view complete but one of the coolest aspects of these pieces of music is how they blend in themes of the champions from breath of the Wild [Music] foreign [Music] while progressing you'll hear notes from the themes for daruke ravali mifa and herbosa as well as music from their Divine beasts within each of the dungeons from their respective regions Not only was it just really pleasing to hear but it was a subtle way to show those Heroes had not been forgotten can you believe this you just look at all those delectable rocks sprinkled on those mountains mighty tasty the lonely Gerudo [Music] in the sewers beneath Gerudo Town you'll see several messages and Bottles floating down the stream they're each from caliban a lonely Gerudo looking for true love she won't give you a side quest when you speak to her you can't carry any bottles up to her and after beating the lightning Temple she'll still sit in the same spot and mope huh at first we thought her bottles were meant to hint where the Gerudo shelter was but you can actually fuse one of these bottles to a shield or the pot hanging from the well or if it's close enough recall it to where she sits above once you show it to her she'll declare link the vo of her dreams and give you creamy Heart soup every day you visit her Gloom immune steeds with pools of Gloom spread across the depths traversing can be troublesome of course there are multiple ways to avoid being inflicted with the status effect such as building zonai Vehicles acquiring some Gloom resistant armor or making the proper meals however another way the game doesn't tell you is by riding a style horse you'll find these skeletal steeds at several points and they're always worth grabbing since the Gloom has no effect on them more importantly since there's no sunlight in the depths the style horses won't disappear at Daybreak like they do on the surface [Music] huh Perez experiments [Music] Pearl was one of the more entertaining Side characters in breath of the wild she was well over a century old yet trapped in the body of a child from a failed age reversal experiment she seemed to naturally age in between both games but that Gap didn't match up with other elements that showed how much time had passed that's because she didn't age naturally what exactly happened in her room at Lookout Landing you can find her diary which leads you on a scavenger hunt for other volumes at different spots in Hyrule the third volume found at the hateno Tech Lab explains she performed another experiment only this time the results were exactly what she wanted [Music] yes [Music] a pirate's life foreign featured a subtle nod to the Wind Waker with Laura Lynn Village the layout of which had a lot in common with outset Island if there was ever any doubt Nintendo made it abundantly clear in tears in the sequel the seaside Town comes under attack of pirates until link can clear them out although these Pirates are really just monsters it's a nice reference to how Link's world was turned upside down by a pirate visit in the earlier game [Music] additionally after you save the village you gain access to several side quests one earns you the island Lobster shirt the same top link is seen wearing in Wind Waker before his grandmother gives him the classic green tunic [Music] the blood moon the English Spirits slain monsters return to flesh similar to the first game the blood moon cutscene is narrated by Zelda these happen pretty frequently so many players may have gotten used to skipping them however at a very specific point in the story it will change once you've completed the four main Dungeons and make it to Hyrule Castle it's revealed the Zelda people have been seeing and speaking with all across the kingdom is really one of ganondorf's Puppets after all this place [Music] after this reveal and subsequent fight Zelda and her narration will be missing from every blood moon cutscene not only does that show it was never really her speaking to begin with but it's a clever way to play with our expectations weapons from ages past foreign similar to armor sets there are a ton of weapons and tears of the Kingdom that reference past entries if you're looking for a little Twilight Princess love the dusk bow can be found at the top of Hyrule Castle while the dusk Claymore is found in typhlow ruins the fierce deity sword and amiibo exclusive in the first game is earned after getting the accompanying armor set many others are found in chests within the depths these include the boomerang and first shield from Wind Waker the Big Goron sword from Ocarina of Time and even the sword of the hero from the NES original and if you break them you can purchase them again at bargainer statues the reflective world [Music] The Depths are a mysterious place that strangely mirror the surface above it didn't take too long for players to notice that light Roots underground are at the same spots as shrines up above and that their names are just backwards mountains become valleys while bodies of water are impassable walls but it isn't just the Topography of the surface that the depths mirror [Music] bargainer statues can be found at the same spot as goddess statues Leviathan bones correspond to dark skeletons underneath and each major town sits above a grand mine this has actually made searching for certain things like shrines much easier the return of flower blight Ganon nicknamed flower blight Ganon by fans Magda was an intense Gardener in breath of the wild if link were to step on the flowers she planted around a shrine too many times she'd unleash a fury he had never experienced Magda returns in tears through one of the lucky clover Gazette quests and you can have a bit of fun with her without fear of repercussions other than a few insults ah if you try to take her tools she'll tell you to keep your grubby hands off step on her flowers again she'll chastise you for hurting such beautiful petals what's funny is that she'll always say her insults are what the plants and tools could say if they were able to talk for extra fun try over watering them or lighting them on fire huh fish in the sky played any other entries in the series looking at the map should ring multiple Bells all across Hyrule are locations named after characters and places from previous entries for Tears Nintendo took one of them and added an extra cool Easter egg while doing the Zora part of the main story you'll be told to find the land of the sky fish this refers to a fish-shaped landmass in the sky called floating scales Island what's interesting is that it floats directly above Tao Tao Peak which gets its name from TaoTao mountain range the last major area in Link's Awakening in that game just north of this mountain range you'll find the egg of the wind fish foreign monuments to fallen heroes Ganon and his actions have claimed a lot of lives in this Hyrule and you can find monuments to their sacrifice in several spots across the map at places like Fort hateno and the great Plateau where the Guardians hit the hardest during the Calamity Zelda has placed stone slabs in honor of their memory you could find King roam's Grave in breath of the wild but it appears the princess Revisited it to leave behind her father's sword [Music] after Queen Sonia's death one of the dragon's tears cut scenes shows raw room mourning at her grave despite how much time has passed you can still find this grave in the Forgotten Temple along with a few Sunday lions [Music] Toomey and kotake be half of the Gerudo for taking so long to accept your repeated invitations first appearing in Ocarina of Time kume and kotake are twin witches and the surrogate mothers of Ganondorf they've appeared a couple of other times though never played as big a role as they did here tears of the Kingdom pays homage to these villains through Phantom Ganon eagle-eyed players noticed inscriptions on the weapons he drops which when translated read kume and kotake there's another Well hidden reference to them in the show of fealty memory while Ganondorf swears loyalty to raru you can spot two Gerudo on either side of him one of their masks holds a red gemstone and the other a blue one calling back to the witch's Elemental prowess their skin is also much greener than other Gerudo matching with their Ocarina appearance [Music] thanks for watching if you enjoyed the video there's more where that came from [Music]
