How Akkala Has Changed | HYRULE COMPARISONS Botw VS TotK

Published 2024-06-29
In this entry of Hyrule Comparisons, I tour through the Akkala Region to show how it has changed between Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, because the Calamity gave us a baseline, and the upheaval iced all over it, so come join me to see how Akkala has changed between BotW and TotK. I'm having tons of fun exploring the Zelda maps between these two game while creating this series, and we're starting to wrap up the regional comparisons, only Necluda, Faron, North-Central Hyrule, and Hebra are left, maybe Tabantha if it doesn't get combined into Hebra, but I digress.

THANK YOU for watching! It means the world to me!!!

    There is a story reason why the Great Fairies moved, all four of them mention wanting to be close to a stable to get more visitors and listen to the music from the Stable Trotters
  • One thing that's easily overlooked is Granté is still in TOTK, he just changed his name to Grantéson and is in charge of helping you set up the dream home. He also happens to be the son of Robbie and Jerryn from the Tech Lab.

    I was honestly pretty floored when I found out how much changed in the plains west of Tarrey Town. That whole area has had so much construction and sky rubble that it almost feels like a new location.
  • I wonder if the hinox near the Akkala plains chasm fell into the depths after the upheaval. Bro was just taking a nap and fell to his death.
  • @squid1524
    I like that the wetlands are more wet after they've cleared out a bunch of the trees. Feels realistic.
  • @getsouped
    id love a full video about the dragons… theyve always been my fav part of botw/totk, i was SO happy that you could actually ride on their backs in totk :”) awesome vid as usual, love these regional comparisons!!!
  • @sauce2go
    Granté didn't left town, he modified his name to fit in, changed his name to Grantéson, he helps you build your house.
  • @FizzyMoonBeam
    2:01 The great fairies say they moved so that they can attract more visitors and don't lose their abilities so easily
  • @RogerMollet
    They do explain the moving of the Great Fairies in the game, the Great Fairies wanted to hear some music.
  • @solarisdew
    Appreciate how you used the gradual build up of the Tarrey Town theme as the BGM and synced it with the progress of this video. Truly wholesome.
  • @eeveestar6826
    My Pokémon fan brain pronounces Akkala the same way as Akala Island from Pokémon Sun and Moon
  • @Nyxael5845
    Akkala was one of the very first areas I visited after obtaining the Paraglider. I loved going here in Breath if the Wild and heading to Tarrey Town was one of my first objectives after activating the region's Skytower. It felt jarring seeing Death Mountain in a dormant state since it was a common sight seeing the rivers of lava in this region back in BotW.
  • @Etwe0828
    Fun fact, there is a suburb in Stockholm named Akalla
  • @Dock284
    The Great Fairies claim that they moved closer to the Stables, as to get more traffic. They were very out of the way in botw but are more noticeable in totk.
  • @Gigi4u
    15:28 so ironic that the unflattering drawing of Link the Yiga made resembles Ganondorf more. they drew on those horens and fangs with the intent of making Link look bad without realizing that the person they worship resembles the drawing more.
  • i skipped so much in Akkala because there's rarely the need to traverse on land. you either fly with a bike, or travel through the sky to begin with. iconic akkala fort which was pretty well featured in hyrule warriors age of calamity now was just a side stop i didn't bother to search through alot. i landed on top, found some bits and pieces, and went on my ways to the overtaken tech lab.
  • The champion abilities vs ghost powers comparison is one I'm looking forward to because I find their differences fascinating. I could go on and on about my thoughts on that whole system.
