Eldin's Evolution: Hyrule Comparisons BotW VS TotK

:_TonyHappy: Did I miss anything cool? Let me know and request a comparison you'd like me to do next below! :_TonyCool:

That rock underneath the leviathan is actually part of a quest, you find the "guardian lady" Loone over by the Akkala lab, and she sets off on a journey to see all the leviathan bones. Then you can find her over there and she says that the fossil is missing one of "it's cute little eyes" and you have to fit it into the socket where there was a korok in BOTW

12:11 You lucked out while walking through that tunnel. In TOTK, a gloom spawn sits in the deepest part of the bend in that tunnel. Since an NPC that wanders around on that path to the tunnel warns Link of the gloom spawn, I'm pretty sure that path stopped being used due to the gloom spawn.

22:03 All that tells us is that this guy hasn't left the hot spring in over 6 years.

I'd like to believe there was one person on the dev team who devoted himself to ensuring no double Koroks matched, and these videos just validate him

i love these videos, playing totk makes you go "wait did I miss something in botw?" so its fun to see what was actually there beforehand

24:58 The sign is just the end of a series of 10 signs named "Death Mountain Marker". Starting below the stone arch at the entrance of Eldin region, North-West of Foothill Sable, the signs are following the path towards the top of the mountain, passing through Goron City and Bridge of Eldin. Notably, Markers #5 !! (Welcome to Goron City) and #6 (Abandoned North Mine, Heat level: ⭐⭐, No unauthorized access) are absent, while Marker #3 (Southern Mine) has changed to "Mine-Cart Land". Also, Markers #2, #6 and #8 in BOTW were warning players about the increase of heat levels, while in TOTK this is missing due to the changed climate of the region.

There weren't enough double koroks featured, I'll never be happy until the korok feature video

I love your deadpan delivery, it makes everything come off as just a liiiiittle sarcastic even when it's genuine, which really works! I'm glad you're making these Hyrule Comparisons, it's fascinating to see all the little differences present! I'd absolutely love to see a Korok video, if it wouldn't drive you insane lol

Loved watching this one live! Hope to see the series continue soon. Edit: my personal vote for next region to tackle would be Lanayru/Zora's Domain!

I agree that some of the wells (that were clearly supposed to be there for over 100 years) not being present in BOTW is disappointing. But it doesn't happen often, most wells were already in BOTW. I'm willing to accept a few environmental retcons. After all the devs needed to put content in the game, they couldn't let BOTW restrict them too much. There's one instance I can think of a change that wasn't a retcon but rather a correction. You'll see if you do a map comparison video on Akkala that on top of the citadel there's seemingly a new building. But it was always supposed to be here. Despite not appearing in BOTW, it was always on the map in that game.

I was hoping to touch the path from Bridge of Eldin upward that you take with Yonobo in BOTW… For example, the cannon you use to lower the bridge in now a camp with 2 Moblins (I see them as call back to the 2 who were bullying Yonobo) and 1 Bokoblin. The 1st cannon you use to shoot Rudania is replaced with a camp of 2 Bokoblins and 1 Moblin, the 2nd cannon replaced by a Korok and the 3rd is replaced by an Addison sign. Eldin has changed so much between the two games and it's expected to miss things here and there, but it doesn't matter. I love the series and learned a lot in this video, as usual. Can't wait for what's next! Keep up the good work! ❤

The round rock is the leviathan’s eyeball!

One of these days we'll find a matching korok pair...

fun fact: Death Mountain wasn’t always lava covered! an older goron mentions that he was looking for something when he was younger, but then the mountain was covered in lava soon after

What timing! Just finished your last comparison yesterday

I wonder if koroks are edible...

Can't wait for your next video!

Thanks. I appreciate your comparison videos.

Thanks for your hard work, interesting comparisons. I would like to see other regions
