When you have a hot or cold element weapon equipped or on links back, his body temprature will also change depending.

Neither Youtube nor Google image search produces any image of Link riding a moose.

The IGN story links to another story about all the things Link can ride, and it doesn't mention or show moose.

I have put considerable effort into riding a moose and failed. I've ridden

Spoiler

bears, Stalhorses, The Lord of the Mountain, deer/elk, and the giant horse. And Zelda's white horse

. But I couldn't get a moose. Or

Spoiler

an ostrich or rhinoceros

, for that matter.

Conclusion: you can't ride a moose.

Nier has the exclusive rights to moose mounting.

 

[Spinluck]

I've played this game for over 90 hours and been all over the map, and I've never seen a bear.

Where do you find bears?

My first encounter with one was against a Boko riding one and charging me with a club in hand

This is one of the best games ever made.

29) Looking for a shrine? Look up — shrines usually have a group of birds circling above them.

Wait, what?

What!!?!?!?

Holy shit, had no idea enemies could mount anything else besides horses.

Also, I KNEW IT! You totally can burn off Henox soccer shin pads.

I love how Link usually is shorter than most things around in the world. Not necessarily a strong build either.

It's weird. This has to be the shortest adult Link ever. Is there an explanation on why he's so incredibly short? Literally every NPC that isn't a kid or a hunched over old person is significantly taller than Link, And in the case of the latter, many old people in the game are taller if they stood up straight.

Every ordinary guy is enormous next to him and even 99% of girls tower over him by at least a head. He has to be 5 feet tall max or this Hyrule is a land of very tall people and Link happens to be normal height. Is he still a teen who's growing (15-16 yrs old)? I got the impression he was an adult of at least 18.

edit: all the "80+ hours in and I haven't seen X" posts. Think of the rumors and half-truths that would've swirled amongst friends if this game released in the pre-Internet era of gaming.

dude. if there is smoke or birds there is a point of interest. birds circling around is a dead giveaway!

Right? he is usually looking up at people when chatting haha. Unless you're on your horse. Then you're like Lord Farquad and can feel superiority in your tallness.

 

[CharminUltra]

Tis true. I found a shrine this way last night. Unless it was a coincidence.

I think some NPCs will react to your talking to them while standing on a table (at least Purrah does; haven't done it myself, but I saw a screenshot of it.)

This game is just amazing.

Well he cant get served at the pub in gerudo town so I'd say about 16 (so he'd technically be about 116)

You can also set fire under its feet, and it'll do a dance trying to cool them down with his hands. This will allow time to hit it in the eye.

 

[Chaos17]

There is always another way

*use shield while jumping then remove it*
What ?!

 

[Peltz]

There has never been a game that needed an achievement system more than this one.

Damn it Nintendo.

Nah that would ruin all these "holy shit" discoveries.

 

[brau]

Nah that would ruin all these "holy shit" discoveries.

I have to agree. Some of these are also given away by the loading screen hints. Which is a bit of a bummer.

 

[Tahnit]

you can tell if its a blood mood if the eyes on monsters are red that night. Just found this out.

oh wow. usually they're green.

I'll have to pay attention to this. This would be awesome.

Wait, is this true? I'm gonna try it later.

 

[Majukun]

the one about the octorocks it's the only one i didn't already know

ioh,and the blood moon bonus

 

[Tahnit]

Wait, is this true? I'm gonna try it later.

Yup i was taking out a boblokin camp and their eyes were red. Sure enough as it hit 11:30 the music started and the red particle effects started. Blood moon.

 

[timshundo]

This game man

12) Link has a custom flexing idle animation if he doesn’t have a shirt equipped.

yall wheres our fanart for this lol

 

[Mory Dunz]

Flaming Sword works for 2) as well. Saved me during the Rito place.


That sword has amazing durability

 

[Kyzon]

Can you enduracarrot the giant horse?

 

[boiled goose]

I'm surprised people don't figure this out. I also like to drop all of my fire weapons around ice to melt it faster instead of wasting the durability or building a fire.

Water seems to conduct heat

 

[Mr-Joker]

Fact 101: You can climb everything in the game, except the damn shrines lol.

You can't climb inside someone's house.

You also can't climb the evil looking pillars around Hyrule Castle

You can "climb" them if you walk on the groove marking.

 

[exfatal]

spent like 2 days trying to fid the rito village -_-' been having fun exploring though.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Wow. Been playing the game for well over 100 hours and I just learned something new.

Awesome.

 

[Thud]

Can you enduracarrot the giant horse?

I don't think so. Horse has no stamina.

 

[Crayolan]

That's not true. You cant climb inside Divine Beasts. You can't climb inside shrines. You also can't climb the evil looking pillars around Hyrule Castle and there are some rooftop chimneys that you can't climb to the very top because the top structure obstructs your climbing ability. It's pretty silly when you think about how Link can climb way more difficult stuff and while almost horizontal (back facing down).

I think some towers and stables have unclimbable sections at the top, or at least blocked off from normal climbing but reachable if you glide onto them.

I also found a weird patch of slope/wall in the very end of the north east part of Hyrule that can't be climbed for no reason. This section of the map also has an invisible wall to the north that stops forward movement and an onscreen message saying you can't go any further.

You can't climb the weird pillar things around Hyrule Castle, but if you're persistant enough with running at the right times you can make it to the top of them.

 

[primasaurus]

Awesome list, this game keeps on amazing me


Just read some of the comments in IGN, people are really toxic over there

 

[Weltall Zero]

GAF -> Internet -> GAF. Every single of these has been mentioned in the OT at some point, including some that have been suggested but not verified.

 

[Dryk]

No mention that the walking Guardians weak point is

Spoiler

underneath, like a turtle and if you knock them over or cut the legs off and flip them you can do massive damage to their bellies.

Spoiler

The one in the wetlands is really easy to kill because you can just flip it with an ice block and it can't do shit to you anymore

 

[watershed]

I encountered a Stalhorse for the first time and rode it until dawn when it collapsed and died. It was an amazing few minutes. The animations for the Stalhorse look so damn cool. I was taking screenshots almost every second.

 

[Tuck]

57) A Hinox will pick up trees around them to attack you with — you can cut them down while they sleep to put a stop to it.

This was crazy impressive the first time I saw it. Especially cause I was on top of the tree it grabbed...

 

[Oidisco]

Haven't looked through the whole list so I'm not sure if this is included,

You can make a Guardian and Stone Talus fight each other

 

[Azure J]

Is this the part where we dump our own crazy findings?

Spoiler

You can parry enemies lobbed at you by Moblins. They count as projectiles.

Proof.

10) You can ride an enemy’s skeletal undead horse.

I tried to board my skel horse at a stable and they wouldn't take it. Said it might eat the other horses.

 

[James Scott]

Still can't believe that cooking while under a blood moon is an actual thing, lol. Maxed out my food pouch in that short period

 

[Buddha Beam]

A few of these I definitely have to try out, and some I discovered by accident.

I was able to reflect small Guardian lasers, but not the big ones.

You have to wait til you see like an electric shock sort of animation coming from their eye blast just as they're about to fire. That's when you hit the button to parry with your shield. That's how I do it, at least. Works most of the time. You can take them out in like 3 hits.

Ummmm wait your weapons can get rusty?

Link's always been short. He's usually the same height as Zelda and other women. And shorter than most of the guys

[plagiarize]

Not really a useful thing, but I noticed while playing tonight that when you kill a fire keese above some grass, the updraft the fire causes will actually cause the keese wings that drop to float up into the air. That made me smile.

 

[Kyzon]

I don't think so. Horse has no stamina.

Booo

 

[Living Proof]

Ummmm wait your weapons can get rusty?

Not as far as I know, but there are plenty of rusty weapons lying around the open world. Some of them are quite strong for early game weapons-- this is a good trick to use for all the ones just outside the great plateau.

Link is much taller than Zelda in OOT. It's a weird trend starting with Twilight Princess, but I guess it makes Link stand out...or the opposite

 

[brau]

Just earlier someone pointed that holding an item like an apple, using the dpad, you can move the reticle farther to throw such item. I didn't know that. lol.
