Breath of the Wild's Behind the Scenes Secrets 

And to the switch

Spiderman 2 is objectively better than homecoming

@@thevorst6119 I see your a man of culture

I feel so old 😔

Already?

Folks don't realize how fun the bike is. I don't normally spend money on DLC, but when I heard of The Horscycle, I was sold. Having an everlasting map trail of your quest is great too.

Looking at your user avatar, I thought the word was gonna be "Geno in Smash". But it was one letter short.

@@RobotacularRoBob I wish SO BADLY I could have it carry over to a new game.

good thing he did

then you look over to her but it's Aonuma and not your wife...

Imagine going to college, learning to program, getting a job at your dream company Nintendo, working on your favorite franchise, and they buy you a god damn dirt bike

@@foolishgoose453 same thing

_"Hey. Whatcha doin'?"_

lmao, good eye

Fujibayashi: In Five minutes, could you not be yourself. FOR FIVE MINUTES!!! *long pause* Aonuma: ..... The Bike *Fujibayashi screams and goes insane*

I love that I can exactly imagine how he says that

I just love the idea of a grown man coming up to another grown man and just whisper "The bike..... the bike" during development.

Samus from Metroid: Other M: *What ho? A foe?* (Only Mexican and/or Latin American people may understand it)

Their desks were next to each other, so Aonuma wore him down just repeatedly whispering it. “The bike... the bike...”

That reminds me of the situation where Miyamoto brought his son in to playtest Super Mario 64 but all his son did was try to climb an unclimbable hill, cause Miyamoto to question his intelligence. Well, like father like son.

@@enforcerridley158 Miyamoto Climbing That Tree: “*Now* I understand why my son got so attracted to that damn hill.”

Sounds like Matt Groening kicking Marge from The Simpsons house to the Kwik E Mart when he was shown Hit and Run

@@enforcerridley158 Climbable trees vs unclimbable hill, Miyamoto won.

It was helpful when trying to get away from dogs that broke free of their chains

He must've related to Tiny Kong on a spiritual level.

I think he did, if I remember an old interview correctly.

What child didn’t?

well he IS mr platformer!!!

And then Aonuma just grinning like a fool.

I hate the bike! I would have rather they kept the grapple

@@patricioart4301 Imagine having the bike and the grapple!

And he cut the goddamn hookshot :(

I mean in a video game? That probably what was weird to him I guess.

Meanwhile Fire Emblem Three Houses locks that behind a paywall.

cuz they eat doggos

@@lxxvx hes not Korean...

Not everyone worships dogs, you know?

Make it a side quest reward

I would think they’d add a drawback to remove it being OP. Maybe using your sword that way decreases sharpness which means less damage. While swords rarely break, they do decrease in damage if used too much without sharpening. Another side quest sees you assisting a blacksmith and the reward is being able to assess your equipment to know if they need repair. You use materials to repair weapons and armor, as well as improve them.

@@41tinman41 More likely that it would reduce durability, given that they have that as a core mechanic. I like the idea of weapons simply losing damage but it really doesn't incentivize looking for new weapons, since it would mean you'd have a full inventory but only ever use one or two.

high durability damage on use would be good it'd fit the game's weapon system and prevent exploiting it just to climb extremely high places too freely

@@demi-fiendoftime3825 Or make swords lose durability so you don't abuse it unless you expand the inventory with replacable swords.

it really does make a lot of sense compositionally for link to be blue because the world is so green

WE WILL FINALLY PET DOGS!!!!

cue to link pooping in the woods new, digestion feature

I find it so enjoyable to come across people I’m subbed to in other people’s videos. Good design/bad design is such a fun series, thanks for making it. ☺️

I 100% guarantee that it’ll look like Breath of the Wild 🙃

the animal stuff is gonna be so hype

why mario games?

@@philatio1744 Mario 64's original release had the famous backwards long jump glitch that helped with speedruns, but when the game got a re-release in Japan in 1997 they patched that glitch and the version in 3D All Stars is based on the patched version rather than the original.

@@BloodRedFox2008 A bug isn't fun, in the developer's eyes, when it breaks the game THAT much. Being able to skip a vast majority of the game. I do, however, 100% agree that devs should be willing to keep some fun bugs in or even embrace them and make them a part of the mechanics

When making Orcania of Time 3D, they made sure to remove the bugs that were in the original game. But after finding out that some fans enjoyed the bugs, they added some of them back in (leaving out any game breaking bugs or ones that would crash the game or whatever).

@@jdb2002 I always felt like that quote was BS, since most of the fun bugs were in fact patched out, and many of the existing bugs that were "left in" work very differently. And the plethora of tweaks they made to the game introduced a large number of new bugs.

I think you mean Kytoto

@@Alice-un3kq what?

@@xaoz2362 there was a typo in the video where it says "Kytoto"

@@99percent_ Ah

and still costs full price...

@@NeoTechni and its still worth it

I got my Wii U version from a Toys R Us.

And players still find new stuff to do ingame.

I know, and by the time the sequel comes out, the game will be over a half decade old.

This process is known as Kaizen, and I wish my job worked that way

@@Reldonator what do you do my friend?

Not nintendo, Fuyibayashi, the director.

Well its a concept that can be applied to any project or job, but I work in a paint and body shop. I learned about Kaizen through Toyota actually. They apply it to the assembly line, if there is a problem in any part of the process, anyone can halt production to address an issue and retool stuff accordingly. It goes to their build quality

This sort of development style could greatly improve any industry, and not jus game development which each studio should consider this system of development

Imagine if that type of strategy existed in other industries.. "We bought our car salesman a Tesla so he could have an intimate understanding of the vehicle and be able to sell it" " We gave our bank teller $100,000 so they would have an intimate understanding of money and know how to hand it out to people" That would be amazing.

I'm not super familiar with any other examples, but in this instance I'd say he was absolutely right. Even if for example lightning attracting to metal objects being carried by someone may not be realistic, it's intuitive and understandable, and also makes for an interesting gameplay feature. Stabbing a rock with a sword is a bit ridiculous, and would also remove any real challenge with climbing. I'm sure there's more to it than what's explained in the video but in my personal opinion some of the best moments in BOTW were when you were so close to reaching the top of a cliff with your stamina blinking red. That sword mechanic wouldn't have just been a bit far fetched, but also it would've removed that tension you felt from a gameplay perspective. I'd imagine if I can recognize that surely Miyamoto could as well.

Didn't he almost scrap the Propeller Suit in NSMB Wii because he didn't understand how it worked? Yet, the Koopa Clown Car makes perfect sense to him.

@@alexanderlessila2891 u can cheese the climbing on most places by letting go and running then climbing again after you start slipping

@@josechamu240 Didn't know that, kinda glad I didn't though. Limitations can add a lot to the experience.

He tried to remove the Morph Ball on Metroid Prime because he thought a girl turn into a ball was dumb.

Revali’s Gale is awesome but I CANNOT STAND Revali. Especially in Age of Calamity.

@@thiccorquit I know right? even his gameplay is fucking annoying

@@thiccorquit maybe im stupid but Revali is my favorite of the 4 champions

Well yeah, Revali is blue-black and Kokiri are green

@@tripalink I agree. Especially with the DLC and AoC we get to see more of him. He's my favorite Champion and I love playing as him in AoC. I honestly would choose Revoli over a Kokiri kid with a whip any day.

Same😁

Same! It's so freaking interesting to look behind the scenes and into the thought process about games like BotW!

I've spent an embarrassing amount of time just swimming off of Laurelin Village just because the water and coral designs are so darned pretty, lol

Same, man. I love nautical things and mysterious underwater environments in video games. Both the whale and manta ray celestial beast concepts made me incredibly excited. I have to imagine that the whale in particular would have contained some sort of a nod to the Wind Fish

Well maybe in Tears of the Kingdom we will

Very true. We need diving in BOTW2

I'm actually glad they removed that feature. It would've made climbing way too easy, especially when you haven't upgraded your stamina bar too much.

Maybe it could've worked if standing on the weapon too long would eventually break it, to discourage players from overly relying on it. Definitely sounds like it could had helped with climbing in the rain, at least.

@@LupinticDream Or it can only work with metal weapons, and doing so made it unusable afterwards, and not usable on solid stone walls, as well (brick walls, cracks in rocks, or lumpy walls you can fit it between), sorta thing. Plenty of ways for it to be realistic. Metal can support a massive amount of strain like one's body weight just fine, too.

one is a physical feat that nobody is going to be able to accomplish and the other is magic. Apples and oranges.

I just find it humorously ironic that this is the same guy who tried to justify giving Link of all characters an automatic weapon for crossbow training.

An all terrain bike costs what a couple grand? In the scheme of a multi million dollar budget for a game like this that’s literally pocket change

@@THL_Jontae yeah ok, but what about....idk borrowing an all-terrain bike from someone at Nintendo knew or somethingz there must be someone haha

They didn't say it was a brand new bike! Could've got something lower cost on the used market.

@@Brawph Highly unlikely they spent time bargain hunting lol

Software developers make 120k on average.....

It was also the other burnt down shrine in Gold/Silver, lol. The whole theme of the game was based around those two temples!

The original Kakariko theme is hidden in BotW's as well, and it's more hidden than just a tempo change (There's a vgm youtuber that has a video on it I can't remember if it was 8-but music theory or someone else)

They only want us to be able to shield surf there. At least that's a fun mechanic

@@armandosantiago9572 I'm honestly so happy that the sands don't take durability from shields, so you can shield surf all you want. Can you imagine breaking 6 shields on the way walking to Gerudo Town?

The place I spend time the most, and I can´t use it there

@@Fermin-hw5pd Well, the wheels won't get any "grip" on the sand so it wouldn't be able to move forward...

While I understand that from a gameplay perspective, I would have loved to have seen the bike sink into the sand or something. The game doesn't put up many arbitrary barriers, so it just felt annoying at the desert

Did you know?? Zora's Domain has the same theme as in OOT!!! It's really subtle but if you turn up the volume on your TV it reveals the incredible secret

Man when I first walked up to Rito Village my first play through I was thinking "they better add in some dragon roost music" with the clarinet opening I was starting to get a little disappointed, then the clarinet plays a riff from the original, and I start to get my hopes up. Then the guitar comes in with the melody... * chef's kiss *

Exactly, thought the same thing

He listens to his co workers opinions, but he has the final say. He is the boss.

His style is vague. He way less hands on than other producers. Someone has to make these decisions.

Miyamoto has a very....how should I say, “NES” approach to what he allows and doesn’t allow. Especially when it comes to story elements or continuity. Where he just doesn’t see a need for some of those things but the fans would love.

@@diggsj0536 Games can be many things. They can be stories, art, social spaces, sports, games, toys, or experiences. However, Miyamoto sees every game like its a toy: something that needs to have a short, unique gimmick. He can't see them as anything more. Its like back then when developers felt every game was an esport so they forced multiplayer. Miyamoto sees video games as just toys and its dangerous as his intervention can prevent other developers who see games as potentially other things from making their vision. Hes like an art critic who enters an art gallery and bashes the art for not conforming to his narrow world view.

Oh shit, you're right. I forgot about that.

Right? To miss that is silly, especially while trying to pass off something like the Rito/Dragon Roost Island theme as "hidden".

@@KorriTimigan yes. The Rito village callback is super obvious unlike the volcano theme.

and yet they didn't remove climbing in the Rain?!

@@briansilva3344 you slip most of the time unless people glitch it and that doesn't count

I could imagine it being a mechanic that could help with climbing in the rain, with the cost of degrading weapons even further. I feel like the idea could be interesting enough to not completely toss out

Kytoto's anthem is Kyafrica

I don't think we're in Kyansas anymore

@@NonisLuck It's actually Kyholdtheline

They are all going to see the Kywizard of Kyoz

I mean, there's only so much stuff you can talk about if you're just gonna mention the superficial and more well known facts of a game. So it was either this or just basically die as a channel, I guess.

There's no reason both can't be true.

agreed, maybe in the sequel? also had no idea the old zelda tracks were hidden in the tempo

Maybe a little too "The Witcher" but it did sound good

That wasn't his "excuse." It was that realistically, people climbing something like a rock can't just stab their sword through it and stand on it to rest.

Well, they aren't "cheap fanservice" that could be recognized by your typical journalist, but something you only get to notice after hear it for a while.

Ubisoft’s devs would beg to differ… They also beg for actual knowledge on game development

Staff members, from animators, to programmers, to designers also deserve credit. Hell, Aonuma and Miyamoto's production was able to keep the game on track a few times.

Ironically I recall when this game came out in 2017 some people (namely it seemed mainly people who hold A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time as their favorite Zelda) bashed this game for not being enough like the older games, including the soundtrack going for a more limited use of instruments as I recall at least one person going "I wanted a full 100 person orchestra playing the Kakariko Village theme, not one guy on a piano." The two I remember the most were JonTron (his initial twitter posts about the game had him complaining and saying he just went back to playing Ocarina on his 3DS, though to be fair he said he later went back to it witht he mindset to treat it more like a survival game and he was enjoying it more), and Mike Matei, aka James Rolfe's best friend (though more so his livechat when he was streaming the game, I recall the chat was full of people going "game's boring, fuck this shit, I wanted another Twilight Princess" and whatnot).

@@BloodRedFox2008 glad these are the minority. My favorite Zelda is a link to the past, and i love breath of the wild for being the departure

@@BloodRedFox2008 Calling the game boring it´s understandable, even more if you are watching gameplay, it´s really slow and the lack of music only adds to that. But it´s a different type of game, from my perspective
