[INTRO PLAYS] Hey folks! Tears of The Kingdom is a genuinely jam
packed experience that is extremely overwhelming in the very best way. It builds on what Breath of
The Wild created for open world 3D Zelda games and expanded on that massively. There is so much to
do and experience. From the interview story to the fun side quests. Exploring new and old areas
is exciting and I am still often discovering new things that I haven't already seen. Like when was
somebody going to tell me you can dye Link's hair with certain armor sets and let him live
his emo phase just like I did. Hey mate, let me guess? You're not okay? Got a Black Parade
to attend to? I love this look honestly. There is just so much within this game and I am genuinely
blown away with the size of the game not just in terms of scale but also content. But yet, there
is still stuff missing. Tears of The Kingdom is actually missing some content. But what exactly?
What on earth is this game missing? Well I put out a Tweet recently asking what is one thing
that you wished was in the game but isn't, and you replied. I've gone over as many replies as I can
and compiled a list of all of the content you feel is missing from Tears of The Kingdom. This video
won’t contain any heavy story spoilers by the way but will of course touch on some stuff that
isn’t present both in a general sense but also in relation to the story. Feel free to come back
to watch this at a later date if you want to play some more before watching. So let's talk about
this missing content and if there is potential room for them to make it into the game in the form
of future DLC packs. There are some pretty juicy ones on the list by the way, you don't wanna
miss them. But first be sure to go and grab yourself a snack or drink and send them in to get
featured right here and let's get into this one. The first thing I’d love to talk about is
the fact that Darknuts are missing from the game. Now I should mention that technically
speaking anything not in the game is missing by this definition but as mentioned in the intro,
this is focused on the biggest missing pieces of content in the eyes of the fans. Just so that
it doesn't become confused at any point. So where are my nuts? In the dark perhaps? Darknuts are
one of my personal favorite enemies throughout the series with a specific love for their
appearance in Twilight Princess. I really felt going into Tears of The Kingdom that Darknuts
would add an awesome piece of enemy variety, likely as an overworld boss. And now knowing
that the depths exist as it does, I can’t help but imagine how cool a Darknut depths boss would
have been. The only new Depths exclusive boss is the giant Frox. Other than that it’s just regular
overworld enemies but with gloom smeared all over them. Oh and Master Kohga of course. They’re
essentially large knights that fight similar to Link. Providing very epic sword duel for the
hero to take on. It’s feeling less likely to me now but I am hopeful that in an eventual
DLC for the game that Darknuts could be re-introduced to the series and welcomed
to the modern era of 3D open air Zelda. A fan favorite character from Breath of The Wild,
the prequel to Tears of The Kingdom is missing. Kass, the musical master of the Rito, has
just disappeared in this sequel? Why? There is no explanation provided by anyone as to his
whereabouts or even hints at him being missing or gone. Where on earth is Kass? I’ve seen a lot
of you ask this and I am just as confused as you as to his whereabouts. He is a Rito who can fly,
so it’s obviously not out of the picture that he could have simply just flown away to another land.
We know there are new characters who even mention being from different lands and I plan to discuss
this in depth in its own video at some point but for this video's sake, I’m mentioning this as
it could be that Kass has simply just left for a different settlement or even Kingdom. As to
why we cannot tell right now. An idea I had and discussed a bit with friends is that I think a DLC
pack revolving around Kass and his speculated new adventure could be incredibly cool. Yes I know
he got a DLC pack with a focused role in Breath of The Wild but this could be so much better.
I’m talking about Kass returning all of sudden to kick off the DLC questline and him inviting us
to explore distant lands and or Kingdoms outside the Hyrule we’ve just gotten used to again. A
new area to explore, new questline to follow, side quests and adventures to pick up
and lots of new faces to meet. Perhaps even new enemies. It’s a very out there
shout for a DLC idea but I think it would be awesome personally. Just imagine after
downloading the DLC data that at some point whilst traveling Hyrule you just start hearing
Kass playing a familiar tune in the distance, you find him and then talk to him in order to
kick off a big adventure in a different setting. Both literally and figuratively, the majority of
Sheikah Tech from Breath of The Wild is missing. Without any explanation as to where it went? The
main things talked about here by the majority of us are the Divine Beasts and Sheikah Towers.
You’d think at the bare minimum somebody in the game explains or even just hints at what happened.
It’s an explanation that’s missing and it feels very odd to not know considering this game is
a direct sequel and takes place around 5 years at an educated guess after Breath of The Wild. I
could understand the towers being played off as something like they were returned underground and
sealed away. That's fine, but the Divine Beasts. Nah mate. Where on earth have they gone? Were
they buried once again? Were they disassembled? Were they destroyed? We don’t know and it’s
so odd to me that such a massive part of the past game is just left unanswered in this game.
I love a Zelda mystery, I really do but this is one I don’t quite understand why it’s been
turned into one. Perhaps in future DLC some story and lore will explain it but I honestly
feel like this will just remain a mystery. Now for a very personal one to me. Tears of
The Kingdom is missing a proper fishing rod. Now I know I could just shock the fish, I know
I could bomb the fish and I even know I could now create a fish trap with ultrahand and catch
tons all at once. That’s great. But not what I want. Ever since playing Twilight Princess
and experiencing the fishing in that game, a Zelda game which actually introduces a
fishing rod with a fully functioning reel, I have been in love with that mechanic. It may
just be a bit on the side compared to the rest of the game but as a massive fishing fan in
real life, this all felt like a dream to me. My favourite video game combined with one of
my favourite things to do. Just sitting out on the water catching some Hylian Pike. Having
good conversation with my fishing friend Hena and spending my days here whilst Ganondorf
wreaks havoc across the rest of the Kingdom. It’s been missing for years and I was really
hoping to see it or even just a fishing mini game return in Tears of The Kingdom. Sadly that
didn’t happen. Whilst unlikely, I will have a glimmer of hope within me that in a future DLC
pack we are blessed with some proper fishing. Despite very confident speculation prior
to release, these terrifying creatures are actually not Redeads. Rather they are
Gibdo. To explain the difference shortly, Gibdo don't scream. Redeads do. I felt
like including redeads as a piece of missing content not only because many of you
replied with that answer but also because of how confident many of us were when we saw them
in the trailers, myself including. Thinking they are definitely redeads. It’s extremely
unlikely now in my opinion but you never know, the screaming sibling of the Gibdo, redeads
could make a return in the future via DLC. [PLAYS OCARINA] Yup, a playable instrument. Or even just a
musical element to the story. I can’t lie, this isn’t really something I thought about all
that much but it turns out that many of you did and that is very fair. There isn’t a playable
instrument like past games such as Ocarina of Time and Skyward Sword. Not even one just for
leisure. Personally I think that is because they’ve already done that very specific mechanics
a few times now but at the same time, I wouldn’t say no to Link whipping out a little flute or
say an energy Zonai guitar and jamming out in order to open doors and explore Hyrule. It would
have given Tears of The Kingdom a very classic feel but it might have been a bit too much with
everything else in the game. Perhaps that would require its own story to not overshadow the whole,
you know, plot with Link's new arm. So perhaps in a future separate storyline via DLC this could be
applied. Perhaps even tied into that Kass DLC idea I mentioned earlier. He is a musician after all.
What if we were given his instrument and that is a key mechanic in that storyline. Gotta say, that’d
be pretty cool. But we gotta find Kass first. Underwater Exploration is without a shadow of
a doubt one of the biggest wants myself and many fans had going into Tears of The Kingdom.
Not only would it have been a brilliant way to further expand and freshen up the same Kingdom
of Hyrule a few years down the line but also open up room for a ton of new puzzles, enemies,
settlements and more. And it’s just bloody epic exploring beneath the waves. This ability was so
awesome in past games such as but not limited to, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword. The
former even included a fully underwater boss fight which was extremely epic in terms of
its setting and visuals. This current Kingdom of Hyrule has a lot of water, from Lake Hylia
to Lake Kilsie. To the shores of Lureline to the waves of Akkala. So much of this could
have been opened up. Just imagine underwater caves as well as the regular ones. There is so
much potential with this and all we needed was some armor or an ability to allow us. Maybe
when DLC comes for Tears of The Kingdom this is added but I do understand it is asking a
lot in terms of space. The game is already massive in terms of storage and this might be
pushing it. Who knows, I’d really love for it to happen and honestly if this did come with
a future DLC pack, I’d be incredibly happy. Durians have not returned… but why? Why
of all things to be not only missing in a general sense but missing in the having
not returned from Breath of The Wild sense, why have Durians been removed? Were they too
overpowered for us? If so, why not just tone them down a bit. What good reason is there
for removing them? I do not understand and I want answers from Nintendo. Dammit why’d you
remove our Durians? I want a DLC pack focused on Durians and how Link will return them to Hyrule
following this great Durian Disappearance mystery. I'm very passionate about this. We want answers
Nintendo, what did you do with our Durians? A recognizable sound and motion that many Zelda
fans will know by heart is Link's iconic forward roll. In pretty much every single game prior to
Breath of The Wild Link could roll to speed up, bump into things and even dodge attacks. However
this was removed when the series went into the open air 3D style. Focus shifted to being able
to jump and sprint. Funny enough in all the games that Link can roll, he cannot jump. It’s not a
majorly missing thing but something some of us feel is missing. Unfortunately I couldn’t see a
future DLC just being like “hey, Link learned to roll forwards again”. It just wouldn’t really
make sense in my opinion. I do miss it though. The cute and miniature Minish people from the
Minish Cap have been desired for a return for quite a while. Especially given there was concept
art from Breath of The Wild showing us the idea of what was likely to be the Minish returning.
It didn’t make the final cut of the game in either of the two most recent instalments
but hope is not dead. Like many of these, DLC could be the answer. If this was to happen I’d
imagine it’d be through exploring a new area as I’m not quite sure how they’d suddenly just appear
but then again this is a video game and that can just happen. I love and adore the Minish and
the Minish Cap as a whole. However I personally cannot see them actually returning in the form of
DLC. I’d love it but just don’t see it happening. The new fusing system is in a sense weapon
crafting but on a more simple level. In the build up to release the idea of item crafting
and repairing was being discussed heavily by fans and it didn’t quite turn out to be a full
on crafting and repairing system but rather something much more simple, whilst also adding
in elements of what a full on system would be. However something many of us feel is missing
is the usage of blacksmiths. We know Hyrule has them but they have no involvement with our
items. I think that’s a real shame because we can still use octoroks to polish weapons and
even separate fused items with the help of a very clever NPC. But why was this not expanded
further? What about the Goron Blacksmith of Goron City or even just adding in some new ones across
Hyrule to add to the new gloom damaged weapons, fusing to improve them and the general item
upgrade and repair system. I honestly doubt we’ll see a new addition to the system via
blacksmiths in future DLC but it would be cool. A playable Princess Zelda was an idea that had
many of us dreaming prior to release. It didn’t happen but the idea still lives on. I wanted to
include this as a missing piece of content due to how widely discussed it was before release.
There were so many different possible ideas as to how a playable Zelda could work. From full
on being able to switch between her and Link whenever. To segments of the game where the
player would take control of Zelda. However none of it happened and the dream died. Or did
it? DLC can often hold a big surprise or change that you don’t expect. It’d be very out there and
likely require some altering to the story already set down but introducing a DLC that takes us on
an adventure as Princess Zelda would be insanely cool. Perhaps we could play out her adventure
through time back in the era of the first King and Queen of Hyrule. Fully seeing what Zelda saw
following the opening of Tears of The Kingdom. Not just bits and pieces through memories. But
rather the entire thing. We’d have quests, side quests, extremely fascinating new pieces
of lore and much more. Is the dream of playable Zelda still alive or should it go to rest and
wait for the next new instalment to the series? The lore of Zelda games is extremely important
for multiple reasons. And one extremely important relic in Zelda lore was missing once again. The
Triforce. The holy grail of the Zelda Universe. In Breath of The Wild we got a slight glimpse as
the powers of the ancient relic when Zelda used her sacred powers. However outside of that all
we see of it is old depictions and carvings. But it itself is never seen or really mentioned. The
same has happened again in Tears of The Kingdom and it’s becoming more apparent that this is
actually quite odd. Why has the Triforce suddenly became less apparent and significant in the lore
of recent games? Are the developers trying to move on from what they set down as the holy relic of
this universe? I don’t know. But it’s a fact that the triforce is once again missing from the game.
It’s a little bit sad that the triforce hasn’t been as important to the story as it once was in
recent games and I was honestly hoping for it to be tied into Tears of The Kingdoms story in some
way. The secret stones are very cool, don’t get me wrong or confused there. I just wish the Triforce
was a part of it as well as the stones. I hope the Triforce isn’t gone and is going to become a
long forgotten relic rarely ever seen or mentioned anymore. Whilst it might take until the next
mainline game is out to actually see it, I do have a bit of hope that a DLC pack for Tears of The
Kingdom could be a massive triforce quest line. That’d be an insanely massive thing to do for
DLC but it is possible. I guess it really depends on what the developers have in mind for adding
more to this already massive game and its story. A fan favorite and also fan least favorite
Revali, obviously didn’t return. None of the past champions did and I’d say that was
expected as we saw them essentially rest in peace at the end of Breath of The Wild.
However a big point has been made online at Revali's Gale no longer being in the game.
This one isn’t so much that it’s missing and more just us getting used to not being able
to cheat climbing whenever we like. But hey I thought I’d mention it for all the Revali fans.
Though I doubt it will return via DLC personally. Before getting to the grand final piece of
missing content, which is bloody massive by the way. Here are a few honorable mentions that
myself and many of you feel are missing from the game. The hookshot is a classic Zelda item that
has been missing for many years now and with the breathtaking traversal in this game it could have
been an awesome addition for exploring the new Sky Islands, Caves and Depths. As well as parts
of Hyrule. Wolf Link was a neat companion via amiibo in Breath of The Wild but in this game
you cannot get our wolfy boy Link. Tingle also continues to be missing and only found in the form
of his outfit which Link can wear, and traditional dungeon items are still missing as well. We again
got a companion like ability as our reward for completing dungeons which is still very cool but
if I’m being honest the only one who is constantly used is Tulan, sometimes Yunobo for mining. In
future DLC, perhaps these could be added in. And now for the final, absolute most important and
to be quite honest with you downright shambolic that it is missing, piece of missing content.
That being, the fact that we cannot pet dogs nor have cats to also pet. Why on earth was
this left out? Eiji Aonuma himself literally said in an interview following Breath of The
Wild that he knows fans want to. But yet, it didn’t make the cut for Tears of The Kingdom?
Also not being able to pet them aside, why are cats not even in the game from the beginning?
Why? Why? Right guys time to take down those ten out of ten review scores and dock nine points
for this. It’s truly heartbreaking. However, there is an opportunity to fix this
mess. We’ll just have to wait and see. Before wrapping up I have something very
important to say about all of this. None of this, absolutely none of this video outside of the
dogs and cats points, is supposed to come off as this game actually missing stuff in a bad
way. The game is genuinely phenomenal and if anything I think this video highlights that
as it is so damn amazing without having the thing on this list. That is how I am viewing
it, the game is still sensational even with having missed on some awesome things that could
have been in the game, and possibly might still, in the form of DLC. I hope you enjoyed
