well number 5 is exactly the same in BotW the alternating feet when jumping.
Number 10 is also the same in BotW but probably not as many react to link not wearing any clothes.
Number 12 is also in BotW so nothing new about link holding the main of the horse while riding.
Number 22 is also in BotW where moblins will chuck a bokoblin at link.
The game is ok and is just more BotW but just more tedious with the grind for stuff, if thats your cup of tea then enjoy but for me its not what I come to play a Zelda game for and yes BotW also had a bit of a grind that I didnt enjoy a lot its way more in TotK.

I had a question about the redecoration in Link's house, if anyone knows. If you finished the DLC for BotW you could hang a photo of the champions on your wall. Is that photo still there for those who had it completed on their previous save file (is the game looking at your previous save like it does for horses? I deleted my BotW save file in order to replay it ahead of the TotK launch and didn't get far enough to complete the DLC on my new save, so I can't tell. But it would be a nice touch (and it wouldn't make sense lore-wise for Zelda to remove it.

The stables having your horses from BotW was such an awesome touch but I never got the Ganon horse in the original and apparently the game only checks for that once so now I won't be able to get him in TotK without resetting and it bothers me. Hopefully Nintendo will add in other methods to get the Zelda and Ganon horses like thro Amiibos or DLC or something.

I don't know how many sets have some sort of dialogue, but when the Yiga Mask was the only stealth gear I had, I forgot to take it off before talking to Purah and she said something along the lines of not wanting to keep me from expressing myself but maybe I should think about my outfit (and other NPCs reacted badly as well, not just in Lookout Landing either)
reply

One of my favorites: there's a girl in hateno village who, in BotW, lives in one of the houses on the main street. In this game, she's been relocated into one of the hudson construction homes, but as part of her schedule she sometimes walks into her old house by accident and gets all embarrassed if you catch her in there.

If you're smart, you can get infinite use out of a rare or hard to get weapon attachment, like the Talus Heart or the Flux Core. Just stop using the weapon once it's badly damaged, then go to Tarrey Town and have the attachment removed from the weapon. Then, attach it to a new weapon.

6: 27 32. Fusing a star piece to a wand (or anything i guess, untried) will produce a wand that shoots light orbs instead of fire/ice/water/lightning. They last for a good sec and you can get the piece back at the guy in Tarry Town for -20 Rupees when the wand is about to break
reply

Is the GAME OVER screen always yellow when you-re electrocuted to to death?
Also, my favorite little detail in the Skyview Tower is when you activate the first one and Link gets a look of panic when the Guardian tentacles pop out from the floor.

reply

Had to pause playing totk for this and was like 'oh huh I'm awake for a polygon vid upload, that's unusual, '
Turns out it's 2: 20am. Tears of the Kingdom is NOT special, it is deeply problematic for ruining my sleep like this

reply

My theory about the tree monsters. I think each one is just being controlled by a group of hightail lizards like a little tree megazord. Each time you kill one of those trees, like 2 or 3 lizards always pop out. Like every time.
reply

Okay, kinda spoilers maybe I'm not sure
When you go down the whole way where you fight ganondorf you can see the torch zelda was carrying at the beginning of the game at the bottom of the hole in the imprisonment chamber

reply

Bomb flowers only work once on like-likes. If you try it a second time, they'll just spit it out. Learned this fact on the very first like-like because I was stuck thinking about bomb flowers from Ocarina of Time.
reply

Besides parrying bees, one of my favourite little touches was: Zelda takes photos during the intro, and when you later receive the purah pad and check the photo gallery, the actual photos she took are there.
reply

I caught a star while akydiving the other night, I thought I was special but they probably threw in an event that makes one spawn near a skydiving player to create that moment. Still cool as heck, though
reply

As soon as you get all the glide set upgraded to two stars, you're impervious to fall damage and can dive straight into the ground like it's water. Best set in the game. Its basically my default now.
reply

During the four main sage quests, as you complete parts in the dungeon/temple the music adds in sections of the band (ex. strings get added in after you complete the final part of the puzzle)
reply

I love this! Thanks a lot! Also thank you for being so careful not to spoil any story stuff! I watched a video the other day that spoiled major stuff without warning and it made me upset -
reply

You might say that Zelda redecorated Link-s house, but going by the notes she left it seems more like she kinda just stole it. Everyone refers to it as Zelda-s house now which is hilarious
reply

It-s so refreshing to see a list-type video about a very popular and topical game that-s not made by a soulless content farm and is narrated by someone who genuinely does play the game
reply

My favorite little detail not mentioned is that if you stand still long enough (waiting for a dragon perhaps) Link will hold his new arm up and tilt it around looking at it
reply

There-s no wrong way to solve a puzzle! The developers didn-t go out of their way to make it so you have to solve things as intended. It rewards creativity in such a satisfying way.
reply

One of my favorite details is how the mayor-s daughter Karin waits outside Link and Zelda-s house for Zelda to come home. It-s so adorable and heartbreaking at the same time.
reply

4: 38 26(a. Giant Brightblooms can be attached to a Depths vehicle and will travel with as charge-free lightsource. You just gotta catch/recall your vehicle after applying
reply

Some characters will also comment if you're wearing some of the yiga outfit! Purah called me out for wearing the mask around lookout landing, said -isn't that in poor taste? -
reply

the pro skater thing is even funnier because everyone treats link like he's tony hawk. -your name is link? just like the hero? - -you kinda look like that swordsman-
reply

Tried to take my clothes off at Gerudo Town and they just threw me in jail - guess I didn-t need to to through the hole in the wall and ascend after all
reply

I do enjoy that all of the destinies and sacrifices needed for a chance at beating Ganon may be for nothing if Link skydives naked in to a thunder storm
reply

Still think the music that plays at a skyview tower for the first time is the best. Somehow gives a feeling of wonder and excitement every time.
reply

Every time I use the ascend ability, I say -ouch- out loud in Plankton from Spongebob's voice and it makes the game just that much better
