7 More Amazing Things I Wish I Knew In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 

Do you have any cool Zelda tips for us? Let us know and we'll put our favorites into next week's video!

Me instinctively trying to sooth the lynel when I get on it

this might be obvious but... i did it WAY to many times (like an idiot) NEVER use bomb arrows on death mountain...

“If you happen to break or lose a Hylian Shield...” *drops it in lava*

It took me more attempts to defeat a Lynel than it did to take down Ganon 😂

For the last one, it IS worth it to mount a Lynel Not only do you get critical hits in with every swing, your weapon durability doesn't degrade

I love picking up a the head of the skeleton dudes and running away with it, it's just so hilarious to see the body chase after you.

If you have any rusty weapons, go to the goron region and toss them at octoroks, they will spit upgraded versions of the weapon

One tip: use master sword beams when doing korok seed archery challenges. Saves a ton of arrows and make the challenge very easy.

This one might be obvious to some who realized it but if in snowy areas where you see blocks of ice, your instinct is to use a fire arrow, fire rod or fire melee weapon to strike it. But with fire element weapons you don't actually have to strike them. Just stand near ice blocks with them on you(drawn or un-drawn) and it will slowly melt the ice without you having to strike them.

40 tries and 50 hours later: YES I FINALLY BEAT A LYNEL next day: you could time stop them 🤨

With the stasis +, when you press L to activate it, you can see glowing in yellow the guardians that are active... thats very useful in (for example) Hyrule castle

6:21 If you are *w e l l e q u i p e d* **Rams into castle with a woodcutters axe and pot lid**

This isn't so much as useful, but it's so freaking satisfying when it works. During a thunderstorm, pull out a metallic weapon (preferably a boomerang) and prepare to throw it an enemy. When the lightning's about to strike you, release R and you've got yourself a one-hit kill weapon on your hands! P.S., do this with a iron sledgehammer to become Thor :P

This game is pretty damn amazing.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how well all the details are thought out? Meat freezes/cooks itself in extreme weather, hitting splint with your sword makes a fire, you can light regular arrows on flames, killing animals with them gives you cooked meat... It's weird but details like this make me happy lol

I personally found that when attacking a lynel from on top of it, it doesn’t break your weapons! So get your 70 damage royal guard claymore, and just go ham.

throw rusty weapons at rock octos, they chew on them and spit them back all shiny and nice

A simple one, use stasis mode in an area to see all the things you can pick up / treasurechest / materials glow yellow. Makes it easy when you're combing a rainy terrain for things to grab. (no upgrade needed)

HINT!! If you cook a *Big Heart Radish* and four *Hearty Durians* it gives you *21* extra hearts. If you do it right before a blood moon, it gives you 22! Edit: Gold hearts, not health restore. It fully restores your hearts, and gives you 22 EXTRA hearts.

Me 2 seconds into the video: "YOU CAN TIMESTOP THE LYNELS?!"

When you mount the lynel, once you backflip off of him pull your bow out and rain arrows down on his head. Also hitting a lynel while mounting him does NOT USE ANY DURABILITY. So quickly switch to your strongest weapon to do the most damage and waste no durability on it.

Lynel tips: when thrown off their back after mounting you can trigger slow motion by pulling out your bow. Shoot them from behind in the neck with a fire arrow and they will once again be stunned and prepped for mounting if done properly. You can also lay 4 bundles of wood with a piece of flint near the area you are fighting the Lynel. by striking the flint 4 campfires will be created and u have a constant up draft to aid you if you are having trouble hitting the Lynel's sweet spot. The most effective weapon to slay a Lynel in my opinion is a quick draw Lynel bow that has multiple shots per arrow. Get in close while in the air with your paraglider, trigger slow motion by pulling out your bow and fire your arrows so that all - 3 or 5 depending- arrows you fire hit the sweet spot. fire until you are nearly depleted of stanima. Once slow motion is ended the Lynel should become stunned. Either wait a second for your stamina to recharge or eat a meal to speed this process. Mount the Lynel and follow the same steps I described earlier. Hope this helped all who took the time to read~ Goodluck

Any dragon horn will make elixer last 30 minutes

"Boulder breaker is used to break boulder" "wood cutting axe used for cutting wood" This just in, bow used to shoot arrows. If you have two arrows, you can shoot the bow two times!

Sell your minerals to the Gerudo in Goron Village. She pays an extra amount of rupees!!

I live and die by hearty durian and for the glory of durian nation.

Correction on your point mounting a lynel: it’s always worth it to mount and damage a lynel because it doesn’t take your weapons durability as you attack it, this is why you should always switch to your strongest beforehand (attack speed is constant even with heavy weapons).

I like how I was against playing this. My GF got it for me for my birthday and now Im looking at Botw videos for tricks and tips. Also, was up till 6am. What is life.

"Where is it? Hyrule Castle! Oh. Oh man...uuuh..okay.." BRUH MY EXACT FEELINGS ABOUT THAT DAMN PLACE. I wanted to get all the Captured Memories as soon as possible and practically had a panic attack getting in there from the back. I was hiding in a tiny crevice to avoid the sights of the Guardian near the memory spot, and as i jumped down and quickly hit recall, i had not one but two enemies targeting me as the cut scene began. when it was over and they were obviously still about to shoot me i just teleported out of that shit :/

Last Zelda I played was Twilight princess, not a major fan boy and that being said ive been BALLS DEEP on this game, its overly amazing and really well made.

I am so late to this party. I just started playing this game less than a week ago and it's more fun than a lot of MMORPGs I've played. Lynel's are insanely fun to fight, esp the higher lvl ones. I hope they make another open world Zelda game like this in the future.

*When a guardian kills my horse* Me: *>:( 🔪*

just take a picture of a chest and turn on the sheika sensor

Friend: *playing botw* Lynels can’t be that hard. Let me try Me: Ha. Hahaha... HAHAGA

I think everyone will enjoy this story. So strap in. So I was the lynel for the zora quest and died like a million times, I was getting fed up, so I decided to be sneaky (note: SNEAKY IS NOT MY STRONG POINT IN ANY GAME WHAT SO EVER!!! ESPECIALLY BOTW). So I sneak up to him and he thinks he sees me. I’m like “OH SH*T” so I do a round about with him around a boulder, apparently I was too fast? And end up right under him literally. But I notice he still has the dang “?”. So I just start swinging my sword, the whole battle was him turning to all his different sides trying to find me while I was beneath him. It never felt so good to win. :) lol

2:20 It's easier to use bombs for trees though. You can get multiple trees in one bomb and it's quick to just switch between cube and circle bomb, especially with bomb+.

Actually, when you mount a lynel your weapon does not lose durability when you hit them!

You can cook your food by putting them on the floor when you are near the volcano :0👌

You can eat wood. I used it for the word trials, one wood in a pot makes a quarter of a heart and for the trails it helps SO MUCH

3:11 Says it's the best shield in the game. Shows it doing something even a pot lid can do

If you hit a blue ChuChu with an environmental weapon, it will give you that jelly. White for ice weapons, red for fire weapons and yellow for lightning weapons.

Things I noticed: 1. feed the dog at the stable, it will lead you to a hidden chest 2. you can drop two remote bombs at the same time (ball one and the square one) 3. equip elemental weapons will increase/decrease your body temperature 4. if you're riding a horse, you can run over a Guardian while galloping towards it 5. do not throw a boomerang at empty-handed enemies, they will pick it up

You can mount a lynel, but you can also shield-block its charge attack. Imagine the force of this. Then imagine tiny Link blocking this. With a shield. With one arm. Link is terrifying.

“Lynel will stop at nothing to kill you.” *lets take a look at every enemy in the game and compare it to this*

Finally completed the game today , 120 shrines, all side quests..All memories ..185 kurok seeds. ..215 hours.

Probably the most useful thing I can think of in this game is to use the Sheikah Sensor to target chests.

Walk through water before walking through fire to get a 5 second flame immunity

"You can't get any more hearts than that!" welp cook 5 big hearty turnips you get 25 hearts.

I have a helpful tip. Instead of trying different ingredients to try and create new dishes and end up getting dubious food. If you look inside the stables, you can find posters that list recipes for a dish. It's really helpful to create dishes you never seen and can be really helpful if your low on hearts.

Gamers: Zelda is one of the handholdiest RPGs ever created. Nintendo: You want a game without handholding? We'll make a Zelda with so many mechanics and not tell anyone how anything works. Gamers: This is too much not handholding. You know, with other games after a month most of the crazy mechanics are found but in BotW they have made a weekly series on new things they find. at this rate I wouldn't be surprised to see a video where someone discovers an awesome use for Dubious Food.

The top reason you want to mount a lynel is the fact that when you attack them while on their backs, your weapon takes no damage.

Lynel’s are harder to beat than the final boss of the entire game...

i love the fact they keep on finding stuff in this game. This is definitely the new way for open world games.

sledgehammer for resource rocks takes 1 swing and hardly weakens it. you can always get 1 next to your house.

"As you explore it's hostile... world" _Laughs in Don't Starve_

* Spoilers? * After defeating the Yiga boss, Yiga members will randomly attack you. I just learned that they will attack you more if you have a lot of mighty bananas on you! So... get rid of those...

You can move boats by placing down a metal weapon and use it to push the boat by using magnesus.

Getting the hylian shield looks harder than beating the game

The first one, I figured it out when I and my horse stand right next to some carrots, and she ate them lol.

About the lynel: For some reason headshots don't always count. It's recommended to aim for the chin when shooting. Also your weapons don't loose durability when you're mounted on a lynel

big hearty radishes will give you +25 hearts if you cook 5

This is why Gamespot gave this a 10/10

When you neck swipe the lynel, you don't use weapon durablity, this is helpful if weapons are about to break

It deadass took me until my second playthrough to figure out that bombs weren’t the only way to break ore deposits 🙃 I usually know all of the tips in these videos but I had NO IDEA about the horse stamina trick. That’s dope

there's an easier route to get to the hylian shield, just paraglide from north of the moat into the docks area and there's a path there that takes you directly into the prison area, no need for the mine carts and bombable walls

You dont wanna stay away from lynels that much cause they Will destroy you with their insanely OP bows

Thats it! Buying a Switch and Zelda tomorrow! Seeing these tips without having access to it, is so much pain xD

I find it pretty useful to use stasis to find any hidden guardian amongst broken down guardians. Stasis is also great for finding items such as mushrooms or eggs. Also, any armor that reduces your movement sound is a plus. It makes it way easier to catch beetle and actually reduces your sound when swimming too. So sneaking up on fishes is a bonus too, unless your using bombs to fish. That works too.

Biggest thing this video taught me was that you could use bombs to propel minecarts, wtf.

dont listen to gamespot, use BOMBS for wood cutting! They are infinite and that way you dont waste weapons on trees.

One tip for newcomers ZELDA IS THE PRINCESS LINK IS THE CHAMPION/HERO

In the thunder plateau (I dont remember its name) the forest octorocks that are there have a high chance of dropping electric trout. Close to the plateau, there is like a valley of dry dirt. There is a lady that sells 10 wheat

if you shoot elemental enemy with the right element of arrows its a one shot kill.

I definitely enjoy shield surfing whenever I can if I can’t glide!

When mounting a lynel before you mount it land a few hits with a single handed weapon or jump cancel with a 2 handed weapon

Fight any and every electric enemy with the master sword since you cant drop it and if you can, equip a wooden bow and a wooden sheild so those wont fall off during battle. Did that and defeated even the camel divine beast in less than 5 mins.

You can actually use bombs to take down a tree and gets its wood, No wood flying garunteed

Just something next time you fight a Lynel: Rito bows shoot faster in bullet time then any others.

I've actually gotten 21 extra hearts when I first played the game I used hearty salmon and somthing else

Mounting Lynels actually makes Link use the hilt of his weapons to stab him, which doesn't lower their durability whatsoever. So if you're able to stun and mount the Lynel again and again, you can defeat them with just arrows and not break any weapons. Definitely worth mentioning!

using elemental weapons affect your temp; if in gerudo desert equip an ice weapon to cool yourself off, same goes for when you're in the cold mountains and equip a fire weapon to heat yourself up. note-all elemental weapons give off the same heat/cold temp, so the big flame blade doesnt heat you up more than a regular flame blade

When fighting Lynels, I take advantage of flaming grass. I use upwards draft then fall down and shoot an arrow in slow motion to hit them in the face.

so we really not gonna talk about the way mans pronounced "Lizalfos" at 3:56

if ya get a raft, a bunch of balloon fruits and a korok leaf... you can fly straight into hrule castle above the flying guardians

I HAD NO IDEA YOU COULD SHOOT ENERGY BEAMS WITH THE MASTER SWORD IN THIS GAME

If you’re trying no kill a stone talus, you can climb it and attack directly instead of wasting arrows trying to shoot it. I would recommend holding down x with a two handed weapon to spin

Once you're far into the game, it can be painful to see 12s and 10s in your weapons inventory, but the blizzard rod and sledgehammer are perfect for utility purposes!

Hearty Durians re-spawn every in game day if you don't cut the trees down.

You can also drop bombs from your glider.

Thanks for the helpful hints…👍🏻 I never knew the hearty fruit replenished 20 full hearts when cooked. Thanks again 😀

Wait, you can move the mine cart with bombs?! I've been using stasis and hitting the front to propel it forward!

you can break bomb walls with the drill spear thingy

Ancient arrows will disintegrate enemies in ONE HIT. Yes, it works even on a LYNEL! I haven't tried it on boss like enemies and everything, but it's so handy when you don't want to deal with an enemy! P.S. They won't drop any rewards or weapons though.

One thing that's useful for me is for chests that are on the beach in the sand, use magnesis from a safe distance before approaching. If it highlights then your good to collect it but If not, then it is one of those little octo things. Before I did this i would just walk right up and when they would pop up in front of me it would scare the shit out of me

I do wish you could at least befriend the Lynel, (Centaurs). It should be quest in game. At least one should be friendly.

Gosh I wish there was a trick where Nintendo would restock Switches

I found something if you see a big pond of oil and mud that you can't get through use your megnesis and scan in the oil. If you see an object drag it out and you may find metal bars to get across the oil to the chest

1:48 - You can use elemental weapons, like arrows, for fire / ice wizzrobes instead of fighting them...

3:20 "if you possess the courage to go alone" Everyone farms Hyrule Castle after a blood moon right? No? Just me? Oh...
