5 Secrets You MIGHT Have Missed in Tears of The Kingdom (#2)

[INTRO PLAYS] Hey folks! The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The  Kingdom is a massive game. And being a lore   filled, easter egg heavy, mystery mashed and  secrets galore franchise naturally this latest   instalment is packed with riveting secrets to  discover and wonder about. Not too long ago I   went over five secrets in the game that you  might have missed and today we’re back to do   five more. Secrets found throughout this game  and any questions that they might bring. The   channel is also closing in on one hundred and  fifty thousand subscribers and I would be so   appreciative if you would consider subscribing if  you enjoy the video by the end. With that said,   get yourselves comfy n cozy and as always be sure  to go and grab yourself a snack and or drink,   send them in to get featured right here and let’s  get into some Zelda Tears of The Kingdom Secrets. Let’s start this video off near the start of the  game. At the end of the Great Sky Island section   of the opening, when Link gains access through  the second set of doors within the Temple of   Time and can make his way to this platform, he  sends the broken Master Sword back through time   with the help of Princess Zelda and her new recall  abilities. As we see the blade travel through time   and eras we’ve explored in different adventures it  lands in Zelda's timeframe, the era before Hyrule   was even founded. Now if you listen really closely  there is actually a little secret within the music   that plays here. Let’s listen to it again but  without me talking. We really don't need that. [PLAYS CLIP] Did you recognize it? Well I wouldn’t blame  you if you didn’t as it took me a good few   listens to catch it but what is included  here is very big for the lore. There is   a very subtle part of Fi's theme from Skyward  Sword which is an extremely significant detail   as Fi is the spirit within the blade and  this shows us that Fi is definitely still   in there despite the condition of the blade.  Not only that but we see the recognizable blue   glow of Fi in this scene. It’s very hard to  hear but here is a comparison of both themes. [PLAYS   CLIP] Of course the Tears of The Kingdom version  is a bit different and broken down but the   notes are there and this is an incredibly  awesome attention to detail from the music   team who worked on this game and  all round a really cool secret. After completing any of the five main dungeons in  this game you’ll enter a very spiritual cutscene   where both Link and the Sage he is with will have  a conversation with the corresponding Ancient   Sage. I have mixed thoughts on these scenes as  they all tell the same part of the same story,   just from their very similar perspectives.  Criticism aside as that’s for another video   there is actually a very subtle but neat little  secret you can spot in all of these scenes. If   you look at the fog and details floating around  this setting you might have actually noticed that   certain symbols appear. At first, I thought these  were just ancient Zonai symbols or something along   those lines, you know for atmospheric effect but  when I got to my third or fourth scene I noticed   that the symbols changed every time. The reason  for that is, is because with each scene the symbol   actually matches that Sages symbol seen on their  ability and Link’s rings. I don’t actually know   the official name for these but I’ve dubbed them  the Sages Seals as they sort of form a seal like   shape and movement when the modern day sage  gains their ability to aid Link. It’s a subtle   but very cool thing to notice, so look out for  it next time you’re playing through the dungeons. The Depths has many mysteries, secrets and very  intriguing locations. Being a mirror underworld   to Hyrule, a lot of locations beneath surface  locations have interesting counterparts. One   of my favorites because of how intriguing  it is in terms of lore is Bluepee Burrow.   You can find this place directly below  Satori Mountain, the location in which   we first met the home of Bluepees and The  Lord of The Mountain in Breath of The Wild.   The lore of these creatures has been expanded  in Tears of The Kingdom. Blueepees now showing   us the way into Caves. The Lord of The Mountain  highlighting nearby Caves and now this. Prior to   the release of this game we considered the top  of Satori Mountain their home. And it still is,   I would say. However the existence of Blueepee  Burrow brings up an interesting question. Is   this where these creatures are originally  from? Perhaps. Perhaps. There is no way   to say for sure but the cool secret to consider  here is that this means there are likely holes we   cannot see. Probably just for the sake of video  game logic that the bluepees have burrowed into   Satori Mountain deep down into the Depths. That or  their magical vanishing takes them down here. The   locations in itself could be considered a little  secret as it’s tucked away deep below but it also   raises a few very interesting questions that  I’d love to go further into in a future video. This next secret does contain  a final boss battle spoiler,   so if you want to avoid that skip ahead  to the next secret which begins at the   time on screen. I’ll give you guys a few  seconds to skip ahead if you need to. Alright ready for this one? In the final  boss battle between Link and Ganondorf,   sorry Daddydorf we see a lot of very interesting  moves from both of them. In my case I cheesed the   fight because of how nervous I was on stream  and just starting using Zonai springs to get   bullet time. I call it creative, others call it  being scared to get near him. However a little   secret reference in this fight is actually  one of the moves Ganondorf pulls. In Ocarina   of Time there is a move Ganondorf in that game  pulls which is known as the tennis phase. He   blasts this energy ball at Link and he must  return Ganondorfs serve. This goes on until   one of the two cracks and gets blasted by it.  Tears of The Kingdom Ganondorf also pulls this   move which is a cool little callback to one of  his classic moves used against the hero. Which   you might not have seen before if you've  never seen the Ocarina of Time boss fight. For the final spot on this list I’ve chosen  to go with something which might seem rather   small and odd but it’s exactly for that reason  that I’ve picked it. We don't size shame here.   So you know when you kill Gloom Spawn and or  Phantom Ganon they drop Dark Clumps. Or they   can be purchased from Barginer Statues. You can  use them when cooking for some neat little effects   or upgrading certain armor pieces but have you  ever questioned what they actually are? I mean   if this wasn’t a video game why on earth would  you put something that came from these into your   food? Well a little secret which you can notice if  you pay attention to these clumps before picking   them up is that they actually pulsate. I cannot  describe how uncomfortable this makes me but it   also intrigued me as to what this means. That’s  the secret off the bat, they pulse. But it opens   up a question which is very intriguing as  I want to know why they pulsate. Are they   alive? Are these the hearts of the creatures  we just slayed? I don’t like this. The in-game   description for them reads as follows "An unusual  substance, it's cold to the touch, and it seems as   though it's filled with pitch-black darkness. Use  it in cooking to get a gloom-resistant effect."  Cold to the touch and as if it’s filled with  pitch black darkness. But yet it pulsates?   Is there a black hole or something like that in  these? Is it space? Why are they sealed this way?   If we were to open one would we be sucked  up inside as well as all of Hyrule? Well,   let's find out. Welcome to fact or cap and  today we’re testing if Tears of The Kingdoms   dark clumps contain black holes which would see  the end of Hyrule. Here we go, three, two, one… [SPACE] Oh hey folks, I'm glad I found you again. What  did you think of today's secrets? For me these   just continue to fascinate me with how much  this game has in it and we’re only in the   early days of discoveries like this. Breath of  The Wild for example still has little secrets   being found to this day so I don’t doubt that  Tears of The Kingdom also will for many years   to come. Let me know your favorite one from  this video and also one that wasn’t mentioned   that you find interesting. Special thanks to my  channel supporters for your generous and kind   support in making these videos possible. With a  very special mention to new supporters Heather   and Micki Lou.
