Which Link Ability is the BEST for Real Life? (Tears of the Kingdom) 

I am working on my new fact video. 🦜 In the meantime, please enjoy this chill video.

What I really want is Link's ability to prepare and make a full meal in 6 seconds with nothing but fire, a cooking pot, and random raw ingredients.

You're forgetting that with ultrahand you can create practical creations

The moment I realized I had played too much TotK was when I had dropped something out of sight and my instinctual reaction was “I can use recall”

Fun fact about Recall: it is the only sage ability to be usable from the wheel instead of with a sage following you

As someone who owns 18 amiibo, I see this as an absolute win

As a crafter specifically, I'd love to have autobuild. If I had something made out of a bunch of identical pieces, I'd only have to make one and essentially let the ability copy-paste the rest. It wouldn't even take the entire creative process away from me, just a time save on repetitive tasks

Things I learned from this video: The Bread Pirate values being able to say the right words in a speech more than being able to dig up dirt, which is something that most pirates would disagree with considering buried treasure exists.

If recall worked how you described it here, it would be OP, but I think freezing time is just a gameplay mechanic to make it possible to use, just like how opening the menu or map freezes time.

My favorite is ultrahand because in real life there probably wouldn't be a limit on how many items you can stick together or amiibo cause you could recode them to be able to be used more than once

Excellent video! I like the wacky concept. Personally I think the ability I'd most like to have isn't neccesarily on the ability wheel... I want Link's nearly infinite pockets.. you could be prepared for EVERYTHING.

I still find Ascend more useful. Yes, you can up get places with stairs really easily, but what about places that are blocked off or really difficult to access? Imagine sneaking into a rooftop party or ancient ruins. You can break into someone's house and leave without truly intruding on the place. Plus you have time to evaluate if the area you ascended to is a bad choice and reverse your decision without any consequences. The one major drawback is getting back down, there's no equivalent to the paraglider IRL (honestly that's a broken ability nobody talks about).

"Can you imagine having your very own Epona?". Solid choice there!!! That said, one "ability "I think worth mentioning, is the ability to carry an insane amount of supplies and gear, while still able to run and climb up the side of a mountain.

I suspect that the Recall timefreeze wouldn't actually apply to real life. Chances are that the timefreeze is implemented in-game for ease of use - giving the player enough time to select the boulder that's flying in their direction to then recall it - with Link presumably possessing in-universe fast enough reflexes to perform that action in real time. Think of it like VATS in Fallout New Vegas/Fallout 3. When the player uses VATS, time pauses to allow the player to select their target(s) - but then resumes as the player's chosen actions are performed. VATS, in-universe, does not freeze time for The Courier/The Sole Survivor.

1:57 This wouldn't rely on an external object, and you could use it for say looking for endangered species to help with conservation

Im pretty sure recall doesn't pause time because link is also frozen while we activate it. More than likely link just activates the ability immediately.

you underestimate amiibo, amiibo don't give food, they give MAGIC food and brigthbloom seed too. and not only that, it also gives jewels, which are also magical. And the helmets are magical too. and twilight bow, and oni link.

The mid air bullet time and paraglider is probably pretty cool And one way teleporting can be a go back home instantly button or if you're falling off a cliff or about to be hit by a truck you can escape to safety

Id say amiibo, not only could you have free food for life as long as you own an amiibo, but you could sell all the weapons and clothes and make a profit, never have to work another day in your life. Although it would probably be the least fun of the abilities. But hey, im down with owning 100% accurate Zelda weapon replica's those would be sick.

I actually think that map and ultrahand are the best abilities to have irl. Moving any object of any size anywhere is insanely op in real life. You can do hardest work with ease, moving giant containers with a wave of a hand! Imagine moving places, a ton of giant wardrobes, tables, beds, all getting in the truck with a wave of a hand, and not hours and hours of work! Map... Useless? Knowing where you are, where you need to go, what is around you at ANY TIME and ANYWHERE??? It is 100% the most useful thing in real life, to never get lost! Or you loose any of your items, just pop them in the map and thats it. I lost my earbud a month ago, had to pay a dude with metal detector 50 dollars and spend 2 hours with him walking around my backyard and 2 hours without him prior. Or i could pop that earbud in the map and find it with locator in seconds. I can figure out NOTHING more useful than those abilities, and i cant think if ANY good irl use of recall. You dont rewind time with it, you rewind objects... What are you gonna do? rewind a car to rear end somebody? or rewind a phone that fell from your hand? That is dumb. Yea freezing time is ok, but you need to freeze with it... It is dumb... Map and Ultrahand are 100% winners if we talk about real life application.

Lol, I've often thought of real-world applications for the Sheikah Slate and Zonai abilities before, such as using Recall on a coffee mug that I dropped. What's really funny is that you don't know how many times I've thought about how nice it would be to pause time to think or read books instantly, or to be able to rewind time to undo embarrassing conversations.

I do think fuse actually could be useful. If you attach a rock to a stick with ultrahand, it’s gonna be quite heavy. But you could easily make a super light hammer along with many other things using fuse. Not SUPER useful, but it does have some use.

The map would actually be kind of nice to have since a 100% accurate gps you can pull up and see you self on would be the perfect tool. Plus you can place down beacons you can see from anywhere. Say goodbye to getting lost.

Zelda actually also used the pure boosted form of recall from the Tear

Ascend would be absolutely HILARIOUS imagine being downstairs then crawling through the ceiling up to you friend and absolutely terrifying them

I think that the Freeze time part of recall is just apart of the gameplay, i believe when Rauru uses it its instantaneous but i could be wrong.

For recall, you wouldn’t be able to read a book without having to get out of it because when you use it, you’re also frozen

You forgot that if ultrahand has to abide by the 21 part then so does autobuild. You’re also forgetting that autobuild, the map, and ascend also freeze time.

6:51 if you get a ton of amiibo cards (I forgot if it’s based on type or individual ones), then you can get thousands from just this. If it’s based on type, I think that’s still roughly 22 unique summons and hundreds of non-unique ones per day.

The idea of having your cell phone float around and take a picture for you while you do whatever is pretty cool you gotta admit, but also we have a very similar solution, so yeah

recall also has the side effect of removing all momentum from the targeted object. i can't think of anything particularly useful about it, but i'm sure it could be handy in many scenarios.

If you have Ascend, don't forget to bring a Spin Drill with you in case you are stuck with no way down. What if you had Recall+, the ability to reload a save file from the past? What about the ability to solve anything that looks like a Witness puzzle?

Another thing that is incredibly good about recall is the fact that if your airplane or car or snowboard or whatever was about to crash you could just rewind it before it does and then no more dying.

Recall would be perfect for a Nerf war- like you see the other persons dart about to hit you and you deflect it. Then if you miss a shot you can grab your dart so you have more ammo. And freeze time to line up the perfect shot.

The thumbnail is an absolute work of art 👏

With ascend you can just bypass security in an airport. Or escape a secured area without going through proper checkout procedures.

As a part time mechanic, I can say that auto build would instantly have me set for life

now watch it turn out if you chose amiibo you'd have to wait for a higher being than yourself to slap an amiibo to the gamepad controlling you rather than having one yourself

There is additional upsides to recall. Firstly it is within the realm of possibility that you could recall a object in someone else's hand quickly disarming them, but maybe that wont work, secondly, you could spam activate it to recall say a bullet. But my final one I think is the best. To activate recall on a object, Link reaches out to said object BEFORE time resumes, even if he cannot use recall on it. Its not just time to think, presumably Link can perform any action while in frozen time as long as he doesn't move from where he is standing, the resulting forces caused once time resumed allowing you to break someone's leg by lightly poking it. You could become a full on super hero without ever using the ability to reverse a objects time.

well technically teleportation could be included in the map/camera power since all shrines and towers become fast travel points and the travel medalion (once used) shows up on the map. idk what the real world equivalent of towers and shrines would be but I feel that fast travel points would exist. also a super useful feature of the map is the ability to place pins (the 6 glowy ones) and see them irl in the distance. so if you are trying to find your way to something you can always orient yourself properly. Traveling? place a pin on your hotel and never get lost, going to an event but have to drive away from the venue to find parking? place a pin on the venue as you pass it so you can find it after parking, also place a pin on your car so you don't have to worry about figuring out where you parked. The pin function alone, combined with the sheika sensor is so useful in everyday life. also for the sheika sensor you could take a photo of gold or rare gems/ minerals and go out and try to find em and strike rich. from these points alone I would for sure pick the camera/map power.

Your title cards continue to be inspiring. They're so clever!

I would def want the teleport pads if it was an ability

"amiibo summoning" is an interesting concept for an irl ability... aside from food and such, you also get the raw materials from the crates and barrels. which you could sell. they wouldnt just blip from some object limit like in the botw engine.

I so agree! Recall is pretty sweet. I love the idea of if you're talking to someone, you can just freeze time think of what to say! Love the video. Great job.

As a carpenter, i would love to have Ultrahand, moving heavy things lets me move logs and heavy equipment, letting me temporarily glue things together is realy handy for things like scaffolding or just holding things in place while i do some work on it, also, work space efficiency, i get grab all those far away tools really easily. The Recall might seem nice to you, but stopping time and letting you move things back in time seems a little too limited to me, sure you can take your time to think, but thats it, it sounds nice, but i would use Ultrahand on a daily basis, but with Recall i would only need it a few times if not less.

Well if you glued together a Taco with Ultrahand you would also have to eat the glue. What does it even taste like?

There are two consideration that are missing. For the sensor, it does not have to be something you own so you can take a picture of something valuable like gold and find any gold anywhere including buried gold. The amiibo is actually even better because it summons stuff from the game which means you don't only summon food but food that you can cook with special effects like making you glow, strong, run fast, sneaky

Recall also adds the ability to remove momentum from an object relative to the earths surface without harming any potential passengers. You could use this to stop a car crash. Like if you're about to die it's potentially a get out of death free card. This could also be used to harm people but we can assume people would only use it to cheat death

ascend also stops time when u use it (and u can go back when u need to!), also it comes with the perk of satisfying rock swimming anytime you want!

I would just get a teleport in front of my house and one on an airplane and go anywhere the plane wants to go

So, fun thing, I legitimately used recall for the purpose you stated. I was fighting one of those construct things and when I broke it apart on phase 3 (the part where it becomes a big platform in the sky), I 100% lost track of the main block and started panicking. But the fun thing was I had recall as my active power, so I did quick thinking and activated it to take time to find it. Now, yes, I know I can't turn the camera for some reason when using recall, but it gave me time to look at what was on screen. It helped because I killed it at that phase 3 and didn't go past it.

Recall literally breaks the laws of thermodynamics. Drop something heavy, collect energy from the fall, recall, repeat. Unlimited free clean energy.

I want the ability to have a consistent upload schedule.

The map would be sooo helpful for finding out where you are + where to go if you are lost/ but to get the map of an area I guess you would have to go in like a helicopter or something as skyveiw towers are… not as practical.

As someone with social anxiety, Recall ability would be freaking golden.

I would want the camera tool irl. It would be so cool to capture moments and revisit them later

Ultrahand wins this UltraHANDS down.

Ultrahand. Change my mind.

Aboit Amiibo, you could solve world hunger if you buy an amiibo emulator that can re-roll a different amiibo code thing so you can use it again in the same day.

Just about the teleportation example, when I go to grandma I can get back by train. During the day, there are trains every 30 minutes so if that was my use case then I would only need 1

With recall, you can think, but you cannot move at all. You can turn but not walk around. Edit: This comment is false. In a cutscene Zelda moves while using recall.

👇ASCEND TEAM

Link moving his head and arms in recall shows some capacity to move so if you could move in recall it would dominate the list

I like amiibo, because when you spawn stuff in it creates a treasure chest. A treasure chest that happens to be covered in gold. You could get so rich so fast, as well as the other benefits.

recall would be very useful for when you spill a drink on your desk. the amount of times I wish i could undo that lmao

I choose recall too. I actually would want recall as my main ability rather than anything else. I know it’s nothing compared to flying or invisibility, but to me it’s an amazing power. Fun fact: I often have ascend, recall, and ultra hand in my dreams. Unfortunately, it’s mostly ascend, but it’s my second favorite ability. I often escape bad guys lol. I recently had my first ultra hand dream a couple days ago. I built a boat. Also, if recall can make you freeze time, how come Zelda walked when she used recall to reverse the knife Ganondorf’s puppet threw at Sonia?

Recall can also be used to suddenly stop any object's momentum without necessarily moving it. That could... prevent a car from hitting someone, I guess?

I think I'd pick either the amiibo ability or the recall ability. With the ability to summon free food and valuable items that I could sell, I could potentially be set for life. According to the internet, there are a total of 848 released amiibo in the world. If I can use multiple copies of the same amiibo, I could amass a virtually unlimited supply of summonable items. By maximizing this ability and accumulating numerous copies, I could create an endless source of valuable items, providing me with almost everything I could need. If it works like this, then world hunger is solved. On the other hand, if I pick recall, I could pause time and pickpocket everyone, steal their credit cards, bank information, and do anything on top of what was mentioned in the video. I could use the ability to be the most productive employee/student, reverse recently damaged items to their previous condition, and have all the time to do practically anything. If it prevents the user from aging while it is active, I could live an empty but eternal life and be almost god-like.

Bonus fact about recall:oh no you fell off a building or something Rewind clothes you're fine

You convinced me that amiibo would be awesome and how recall has hidden abilities

The problem with recall is though, that you can’t really move when you activate it. Of course you can spend days in this form meditating but you couldn’t even read a book.

I feel like the earthquakes move would be really cool. Can you imagine being a freaking earth bender

Dude, that thumbnail cracked me up 😂 Quality video as always, Bread!

Map could be powerful once you have been somewhere you can teleport to it's location.

Link's ability of Bullet Time and, by association, the Flurry Rush are probably the best abilities in TOTK and BOTW. We see in both games that Link can practically slow down time to a near stand still with them, as recall does just to a weaker degree, but it also shows that he can move at regular speed while in Bullet Time/Flurry Rush. If it was an option, I couldn't see myself picking anything else.

If we are considering gameplay mechanics, map does that plus teleportation. Recall only goes for like the last 20 seconds. If something has been stationary for over 20 seconds, recall wont do much on it as it will remember the object being stationary for 20 seconds and "rewind" that without moving it at all Ultrahand or map in that case are the best options.

Id probably want ascend, because it stops time for you to look around when you pop out for you to look around and that gives it the main recall benefit plus just, well, ascending.

"Sends her 10,000 years back in time" - 10,000 years ago was when the Divine Beasts defeated a previous Calamity Ganon. They knew that they were going to need to because it appeared *every* 10,000 years. To recognize a pattern like that, you need at least three prior examples. That means that there were at least three Calamity Ganon events prior to the one they made the Divine Beasts for... And the one in BotW that they failed on. The Imprisoning War had to have happened 10,000 years before the _first_ Calamity Ganon, because it's formed of the collected Malice from the imprisoned Ganondorf over 10,000 years. Zelda was sent a minimum of 50,106 years back in time, if not longer. (The 100 years are the time difference from BotW's Calamity starting and ending due to Link needing to regenerate for 100 years, and the 6 years are an estimated time difference from the end of BotW to the start of TotK.)

I'd go Ultrahand hands down. Recall doesn't really appeal as much because even if you do pause time you can't move, and probably everything else around you, thusly books, cannot be interacted with. So yeah.

The map for me, I know you counted it seperatley but I'd consider it part of the map function, it also pauses time whilst you are looking at the map.

camera+map=become the best detective the world has ever known, easily find every missing person with just a photo

Ascend could be handy as a safety measure for miners and spelunkers in case they get trapped by a cave-in. Recall couldn't help because it only works on one thing at a time and if there aren't enough people to recall all of the rocks at once, then they're screwed.

Camera and map could be dangerous cuz a cereal killer could take a picture of his target and hunt them down

One thing for ascend is that if that you use ascend EXCLUSIVELY to get up and dont have stairs... that's why (dunno why anyone would do it though) oh and if you like wanna go up a mountain it's got you covered (if it has a steep enough overhang that's also low down)

I would just use recall to rewind time like, 5 seconds or something whenever I zone out in class. Bam, ADHD solved.

If you think about it, the fusibility is actually the one that could get you the most amount of money because it implied through the cutscene of Link Waking up that you Fuse other body parts to other people A small little detail, which most people didn't notice.

Is “have fun storming the castle” a line you got from the princess bride? I was watching it the other day and said “hey! Bread pirate says that!”

Recall means you can send items back to the place they belong in, so staying organized becomes a breeze. (You would need to keep everything on shelves or open-topped bins, though - Recall won't open drawers.) Your clothes will rewind into being folded. Your books will put themselves back into alphabetical order. Washed dishes can go back to their place settings on the dining table. Pencils can be un-spilled back into their container. This being said, teleportation means that you never have to carry groceries home again.

I Like How He Nearly Decapitated himself after saying recall is the best ability 11:42

Ultra hand. That ice cream in the back of the top shelf of the cooler? Ultra hand. The nine foot tall pallet of boxes to unload?

Nice new icon for ur channel!

The map tracker doesnt track a specific object though, it tracks types of objects. So you take a picture of your key, and it would sense ALL keys near you

But for amiibo, if you scan the amiibo on a real switch but you get the item in real life, then change the switches date to the next day then you can scan the amiibo again.

I'd pick ascend, for 1 main reason: Ascend lets you pause time perpetually outright. (while you are peeking through the ascended object, the world is paused, permanently, until you decide to go through or cancel.) (yes recall lets you do that too, but you have to actively hold a button (I'd consider that requiring focus) to maintain. Ascend doesn't require that)

If you used the sensor to find your keys, it would blip any time you're near *a* key. I don't think the sensor helps you find your personal diamond as opposed to... just "a" diamond.

Before watching i thought Ultrahand was best, but the video was very well reasoned and it changed my mind, good job!

The rocks from earthquake technique hit between the legs of whoever you are aiming for. This makes the move especially strong against male people.

The thing with recall is that you cannot move at all while time is frozen, so if you are at all claustrophobic, don't pick recall

I feel like fuse could be higher especially if it’s to do something that requires really careful attention. Ultra hand is basically telekinesis with military grade crazy glue this makes basically permanently fused things together. You could make armor with this and probably fix stuff with it. It’s basically the magic sewing kit!

Out of them all, recall and autobuild are top contenders for me. Being able to craft whatever you want instantly as long as you have the schematic and pieces would allow you to build houses in an instant, as well as random knickknacks. Could even repair items if you have the manual. You'd be sought after everywhere that includes building. Ultra hand is similar in that regard, but being able to put together whatever you want at any time with a bit of effort is way less useful for money making. Recall allows you infinite time to think, but it might also allow you to save yourself from car crashes and stuff, pretty useful
