from somewhere welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10 secrets in the Legend of
Zelda breath of the wild before we begin
we publish new videos every day so be
sure to subscribe for more great content
for the record we are not counting
glitches or exploits and although the
game has an impressive physics engine
we’re not looking at tricks that rely on
these stasis or Magnus’s runes either
needless to say there are minor spoilers
ahead so consider yourself warned ready
to you what happened 100 years ago
number 10 temple of time music the wild
is chock-full of references to the other
games in the Legend of Zelda series one
of the most poignant is also right near
the beginning of the adventure the music
that plays near the abandoned temple of
time on the great plateau is actually a
very slow arrangement of the beloved
temple of time theme from 1998 The
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time it can
be kinda hard to hear in game but if you
speed up the music it’s pretty easy to
pick up
[Music]
number nine the Lord of the mountain
Hyrule is full of rare and unusual
animals for link to ride while he
explores the countryside giant horses
skeletal horses even bears and deer but
one extra special mount stands out from
the rest
a nod to the mysterious forest spirit in
the classic Princess Mononoke this
spectral being pays homage to the film
and its creator hi-oh Miyazaki whose
work was rumored to be a source of
inspiration for the game’s designers the
Lord of the mountain is skittish it
can’t be stabled and it’ll disappear if
link dismounts for more than a moment
but riding it it’s worth the trouble so
get some screenshots
number eight the high-end shield
[Music]
buried deep in the bowels of Hyrule
Castle is this special shield that
longtime Zelda fans will instantly
recognize as Link’s defensive armament
of choice in ocarina of time and many
other games in the series it’s guarded
by a sub boss hidden far beneath the
final area of the game which drops the
shield’s treasure chest when defeated
fortunately equipping this iconic piece
of Zelda history easily makes up for the
difficulty of getting to it it’s not
quite indestructible though but it’s so
close that most gamers never notice and
besides who can resist the classic
Hylian crest motif number 7 Dark Link
costume it’s hard enough to find Kelton
the mysterious monster obsessed
traveling merchants who can eventually
sell link this unique outfit he’s
lurking in Skull Lake with India collar
agent and once found he starts roaming
from town to town at random only
appearing at night
Kelton sells some neat stuff though
including monster masks but the real
treasures don’t become available until
after our hero has conquered all for
divine beasts at that point if players
managed to track down Tilton again
they’ll be rewarded with the chance to
buy all three pieces of this costume
which disguises Linc as his infamous
mirror match shadow self glowing red
eyes and all
number six Melania the horse God
horses are links most loyal companion in
breath of the wild unfortunately like
any other living thing in the game they
can be injured and even killed but if
your horse does die don’t lose hope this
hidden being can resurrect it you’ll
have to find Melania first in a secluded
Canyon near the southern edge of Hyrule
and you’ll have to awaken it with an
offering of rubies once that’s done
Melania can resurrect any of your
previously stabled mounts that have
fallen in battle so that you never
permanently lose your favorite horse
best of all for fans of the series the
horse Scott’s theme is based on Epona’s
song from the ocarina of time number
five immortalized legends zelda are you
mixing me up with the princess again
hard to say you’re both pretty magical
not every reference to be found in
breath of the wildest fantasy based both
Southborough you wanta the former
president of Nintendo who died in 2015
and the late comedian Robin Williams who
was such a big fan of The Legend of
Zelda series that he named his
daughter’s Alta are immortalized in the
game’s NPCs bot rick and ernest
guardsmen found in hyrule field looks
like you oughtta while dato who spends
his time near a stable at the foot of
Mount Doom and Robbie a short doctor and
researcher each bear a striking
resemblance to Williams we’d like to
believe that both of them would
appreciate the gesture please take a
look number 4 the Forgotten temple and a
gift from the monks
deep down in a massive canyon that seems
like it should be bottomless players can
find an enormous ruined underground
temple full of ancient guardians
although they’re stationary the
overlapping positions of the Guardians
means that it’ll take all of your
reflexes and cunning to make it through
reach the back of the complex and the
hero will be rewarded with one of the
most remote and well-hidden shrines in
the game as if that wasn’t enough if
link revisits the temple after
conquering all 120 shrines he’ll get a
special reward the of the wild armor set
with a classic look and monster sword
enhancing power number three survival
challenge even tide island far to the
south east of the Hylian continent there
is a large island if link manages to
make it there either by gliding or by
raft he’ll find all of his items
including his food and armor taken away
from him the only way to recover his
belongings is to undertake a multi-part
challenge called stranded on Eventide
using only the items and material that
are already there which is also crawling
with enemies by the way including a
mighty hynek’s it’s a satisfying and
unexpected side quest that forces
players to stay on their toes and find
fresh solutions to problems that would
have otherwise been really easy
number two hidden words in ancient
script that is a sheikah slate take it
it will help guide you after your long
slumber it looks like a mishmash of
made-up characters but there’s a little
bit more to this mysterious language
than that many people on the internet
have noticed that the ancient sheikah
script used exclusively in breath of the
wild is actually a substitution cipher
and that English phrases are encoded
into various parts of the game
deciphered phrases include such iconic
lines as it’s dangerous to go alone from
the very first zelda game and all your
base are the infamous all your base are
belong to us dialog from you know that
friggin meme number one tarry town and
grants shop this long quest chain begins
with link purchasing a home in Hatton o
village and eventually sees the hero
traveling back and forth all over Hyrule
collecting lumber rupees and NPCs
looking for a new home when it’s finally
finished carry town is a multicultural
village full of great shops and even a
little true luck but that’s not all
there’s another hidden shop on a rooftop
run by a highly and named grant grant
will sell link missing pieces from any
armor set he’s only partially collected
and will also have otherwise
irreplaceable items like the Hylian
Shield for sale if they ever get lost or
destroyed now that is good customer
service
