20 Minutes of Useless Information about TotK

□What other cool bits of info should I include in the 60 minute video?□

my favourite EXTREMELY useless fact is that the hearts in the top-left in totk are a slightly less-saturated colour from botw. I don't know why they changed this but it's interesting they did something so small anyway

14:36 I like to think that Rauru’s hand adjusted itself to match Link via whatever magical (?) process resizes all weaponry to the scale of whomever picks it up (like how when you pick up the same claymore that a boss bokoblin was using, it becomes you-sized, and vice versa).

Actually, the campfire on the tower launchpad thing, isn't just for tower launch pads. The game doesn't let you place campfires on basically any objects. Although, you can get one onto a platform by lighting it between two boards on the ground, and then when it turns into a campfire, it will clip up onto the boards. So that's neat.

Link gained two apples since BotW (Since if I recall correctly, he weighed about 7.5 in BotW and now weighs about 10 in TotK)

Gonna throw some things out there: Getting Noble Pursuits in this game involves a whole mini questline/dialogue path with the bar keep. I can't remember the exact wording but she insits Link is still too young to drink it, but she's developed a new recepie for younger folks to try it. This implies that either Hylians have a higher drinking age then humans, Gerudo have a higher drinking age then humans, or the Noble Pursuit is just THAT strong. The Hudson sign isnt the only thing to dissapear during cutscenes. Happens to the Queen Gibbdo wing too

i like to imagine that the dual dragon symbol is also a reference to the final fight against the Demon Dragon

14:24 if you look closely in the inventory menu, you can see that Rauru's arm is in fact slightly bigger than Link's left hand. Lining them up as best I could, it looks like Rauru's fingers (not just the nails, actual fingers) are just slightly longer than Link's real fingers on his left hand, and Rauru's palm is just slightly bigger all around as well. Strangely enough it seems like Rauru's thumb is actually just slightly shorter. At least that's what I saw, i could be wrong. Neat detail if true! EDIT: I also noticed this detail while using Ascend! The way Link's hands are positioned when he "dives" show that the fingers of the right hand are a little longer than his left

Regarding the Hudson Cutout unrendering during cutscenes; this applies to many key overworld objects fused to shields or weapons such as boss drops (like colgera jaw), and of course the Hudson Cutouts.

17:40 The sheikah slate updated in real time too, while you are making up to vah rudania when you knock over the bridge leading to death mountain (b4 you knock it down) the bridge is up but after you hit it with yunobo the bridge pops up on the map.

So, about the think about Link's age, when you say he's about 21, he's actually 121 years old, technically. Because he was asleep for 100 years

Nintendo actually did intend for people to fuse the Hudson cutout to a sheild because if you gaurd with the sheild in front of villagers, they will comment on how they think you are Hudson.

I finally cracked it. I don't watch "random content" just because I need something to watch while eating. I genuinely love indulging in content with no "real" applicable knowledge JUST BECAUSE. Holy shit

They expected you fuse Hudson to a shield cause you can fuse it to a shield. The cutscene and teleporting behaiviour could be a mess up with coding or more probably imo was intentional so that Hudson wont block your view in a cutscene

when i heard about the thyphlo ruins being in modern hyrulean, i actually thought “oh so zelda helped make these”

I feel like the decayed master sword fuse would've worked if it was "You can't use Fuse on a shattered blade"

11:50 I think the Silent Princess is a reference to Koko and Cottla's dead mother, because her old journal is right there beneath it in the cave.

I see the two dragons in the logo being references to the final battle between Zelda’s dragon and Ganon’s dragon

As a Floridian in his early 40s, I love the RedGreen refference. We all loved the RedGreen show in Florida. :) Red Green was like a calmer, slightly less insane, Florida Man. lol

I was so sad that there wasn't anything at that tiny super high up sky island, I spent so long getting there and not so much as a korok? man. Personally if i'd been able to I'd have put a treasure chest with a single green rupee in it up there XD
