Breath of the Wild Secrets and Easter Eggs

In this video, the presenter shares various secrets and easter eggs found in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Boomerang Trick

  • When throwing a boomerang, hopping to the right as you throw will make it swing around to the right side instead of the left.

NPC Reactions to Guardians

  • Most NPCs are terrified of Guardians, even in areas where they cannot reach them.

Zero Stamina Charge Attacks

  • Each major weapon type has a unique animation for zero stamina charge attacks.

Hold Prompt Entanglement Glitch

  • The Hold Prompt Entanglement glitch allows players to hold and eat anything in Link's inventory.
  • This glitch can be used to drop the Master Sword, eat items that are normally impossible to consume, or change armor color by eating durability off of it.

Colored Banners in Hateno Village

  • Walking under certain colored banners scattered throughout Hateno Village changes the game's lighting accordingly.

Korok Forest Details

  • Three Silent Princesses are placed around the Master Sword in a way that matches small flowers from A Link to the Past.
  • There is a subtle secret in Lost Woods where initial torchlet path leading to center is a reference to Zelda 1.

Finding The Master Sword

  • Completing each Divine Beast gives more specific hints about where to find The Master Sword.

Rare Conversations

Teba About Tulin

  • Triggering this conversation requires completing Bombetto quest, not completing recital at Warbler's Nest, having rain in Tabantha, and talking to Teba during daytime.

Rolla's Torch Quest

  • Completing Rolla's torch quest in Kakariko Village will result in her reacting positively or negatively depending on how you light the torches.

Location References

This section discusses the various location references in Breath of the Wild and their connections to previous Zelda games.

Spectacle Rock

  • Spectacle Rock is a reference to the same location in Zelda 1 and A Link to the Past.
  • In Japanese, it's simply called "glasses rock," but "spectacle" is another word for glasses, which this name is a wordplay of.

Bridges and Lakes

  • The bridges east of the gray plateau are named Oulin, Horwell, Egus, and Bacho Lake.
  • All of these characters are found on Skyloft in Skyward Sword.
  • Nabi and Tetla Lake are references to previous Zelda fairies - Ocarina of Time's Navi and Majora's Mask's Tattle and Tail.

Development Techniques

This section discusses some development techniques used in creating environments in Breath of the Wild.

Snapshot Technique

  • One technique used in creating new environments is to have one developer take a snapshot of undeveloped land.
  • An artist then brings it to life by drawing over the image before sending it back to developers to create the 3D model.

Duck Hunt Reference

  • When birds (particularly ducks) are shot out of the air, they fall while spinning - a direct reference to Duck Hunt.

Suggestive Details

This section discusses some suggestive details included in Breath of the Wild.

Gerudo Town Spa Option

  • There are very questionable noises when picking the spa option in Gerudo Town.

Teva's Son Tulin

  • Talking to Teva's son Tulin naked will get him scared and calling for Mom.

Sleeping Options

  • The upgraded sleeping option at the four major villages (Gerudo, Rito, Zora, Goron) have extra sound effects.
  • Gerudos have down feather beds, Zoras have bouncy blissful waterbeds, and Gorons have questionable massages.

Working Mechanical Pieces

This section discusses how connecting gears in Breath of the Wild work as fully working mechanical pieces acting in real-time.

Stasis Technique

  • Besides using stasis to pause the entire mechanism since it freezes one piece actually getting a large object jammed between the gears will work just as well and turn the mechanism off.

Champions Ballad DLC Dungeon

  • Inside the Champions Ballad DLC dungeon, one jammed gear shuts down the entire machine because they're all interconnected.
