I was EXTREMELY hesitant to revisit Eventide Island after what I experienced there in BotW. Imagine my surprise when I found my favorite helmet within the depths!
It's funny how i found the no equipment BotW challenge such a hard thing to beat whilst when i returned in TotK with ridiculously OP weapons and experience and a ton of hearts i was able to murder my way through the bokoblinsretty easily 🤣
5:58 That particular chest with 10 arrows in BotW is the *only* chest in the entire game that respawns every time you leave the area and come back (or simply teleport in-place with the travel medallion). You can collect as many arrows as you want from it.
I'm pretty sure all the shrines are the names of the developers being warped in some way, but it could be a fun nod. Do we know if Marin's Japanese name is the same as it is in English?
My theory for links awakening names being in hyrule other then just for gameplay reasons is that after links awakening the hero of legend told everyone about his adventures on koholent
Swag and cool video, as always. Particularly liked the Link's Awakening comparisons, it's neat to learn about references I might not have thought of before
Eventually a video comparing / showcasing every previous zelda reference and easter egg in botw and totk might be cool. For example, another Link’s Awakening reference is Mabe Village in Hyrule Field
