In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, it pays off to ask "What Happens If". Like what if you don't catch Zelda when prompted? We find the answer to that and a whole bunch more in this video.

    I remember during my playthrough thinking “if I just don’t dive to her will Zelda hit the ground and game over me or what?” but the moment was so good I didn’t want to break the immersion by trying that hahaha
  • @dionelr
    I did suspect the “catch Zelda” thing wasn’t failable. Like, where would you go if you died? Back to the first Ganon fight? Well, maybe the start of the dragon fight.
  • @zombifaced
    fun fact: if you wear the yiga set and go to the yiga hideout (first time), you skip the whole quest.
  • @Legoguy1977
    bringing a beetle to another beetle begs the question, how many beetles can you bring together in one place? could you make a beetle army?
  • @marcw6875
    When you reach the floor of falling with Zelda, the game just pops up a giant message that says, "What is wrong with you?! Go catch her!" haha
  • @RobBoberty
    Very cool video but I have to point out that Ganon is not Yiga clan. They are an offshoot of the Shiekah and he is a male Gerudo. The Yiga clan is trying to help Ganon in TOTK to gain his favor and help destroy everything but I don't think he even knows or cares they exist.
  • @brightstarr23
    What happens if you don't catch Zelda?? Apparently...in the words of the great Loki.... "I have been falling....for 30 minutes!"
  • @MumboJ
    Delaying the final attack to bring eternal peace to Hyrule is EXACTLY what Rauru did in the first place! Until some upstart hero comes along and interrupts the cutscene.
  • @Chris-gx1ei
    It makes sense for Ganondorf not being effected by Star Fragment Arrows I know his Element is Darkness, but this doesnt mean that Light harms him. Not every type of Light is Holy after all, it's just... Light, a bunch of mass-lacking particles traveling to you with 300.000km/s Rauru's Light or the Light of the Master Sword however contain the Sacred Force that Repells Evil. It's basically Anti-Demon-Magic that happens to be called Sacred Light Because it basically shines bright.

    9:31 did every one forget that it tells you that you can use construct horns at the beginning of the game
  • What happens if you talk to the fake Zelda on the great plateau disguised as a yiga?
  • @NoobieSnake
    It’s cool because the devs knew people are gonna do this so they prevent people from doing evil deed to Zelda.
  • @Keen_Eye
    Thank you for saving me some time. I've been wondering what happens if you don't catch her, and now I don't have to go through the entire final battle just to be disappointed. It would've been great if you ended up splashing down and getting GAME OVER and it just respawns before the fall.
  • @ivyVbby
    20:54 Thats what they did honestly. Rauru held Ganondorf in a chokehold under Hyrule Castle for how long? 🤣
  • @ivyVbby
    Shooting Gannon with actual star fragments should do major damage. That’s like purer light than Zelda. It’s from the universe.
  • @jasonwheeler3081
    Let me sprinkle some Zelda knowledge. Gannondolf is not a member of the yiga clan. All yiga clan members are shieka who worship Gannon. Whine gannondorf is a gerudo male who is destined to be gerudo king. About every 1,000 years the gerudo have a male child who is destined to be the king.
  • I tried to not catch Zelda too. It’s in illusion to make it look like you are falling but you are not Zelda is just in the air you can’t not catch her.
  • @Sylveon2589
    And this is how I got my End-Game spoiled. This thumbnail.
  • @k-realm
    I actually tried not catching Zelda but I was there for like 5 minutes… should’ve watched this first
