Experienced The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild players are sharing their best secrets and discoveries, found hundreds of hours into the game. Breath of the Wild's large open world is home to many game secrets, collectibles, quests, and Easter eggs, making it one of the densest and most believable Nintendo worlds to date.
A typical playthrough of Breath of the Wild could take anywhere from 50 hours to hundreds of hours, depending on gameplay style. The game can also be beaten in minutes, something which is regularly achieved by speedrunners and those willing to take on bosses with limited health and armor. This freedom of play has kept fans coming back for more, and throwing in an abundance of exploits, glitches, hidden dialog, and secret quests have helped cement BOTW as one of the best Nintendo games of all time. Despite now being nearly half a decade old, the title continues to surprise even veteran players, with the game's community often sharing new Breath of the Wild secrets.
Redditor Human-Copy-4255 took to the BOTW subreddit to ask experienced players what they didn't realize about the game until "after beating it or after starting your second playthrough?" and fans have flocked to the post to share their best secret Zelda discoveries and tips. From cooking wood to Goron golf, hundreds of comments have shared their finds - as well as their excitement over others' discoveries - leading to a fascinated deep-dive for players both new and old. Commenter OldHasBeen offered a time-saving tip by sharing: "There is a ladder to the roof on the side of the Temple of Time. I climbed the cliff behind it then jumped across to the back wall at the closest point." Meanwhile, pivotguyDC1 shared that, despite beating both Normal and Master Mode, they didn't know about mini-boss medals, or Medals of Honor, until seeing another's playthrough. Another interesting secret comes from Chicken_nuggetYt, who revealed to surprised Redditors that wagons can be looted.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild first launched alongside the Nintendo Switch in 2017, highlighting just how impressive it is that there are countless players who've still yet to discover its many secrets. While many will likely know of some of the tips shared on the Reddit thread, there are plenty of people who haven't yet found them for themselves, demonstrating just how wide and varied the game really is. Secret BOTW cutscenes, removed content, and hidden game details continue to impress the title's ever-growing playerbase, and it's hoped that BOTW 2 will have just as many secrets to uncover.
Human-Copy-4255's Reddit thread has uncovered lots of hidden details discovered by veteran Breath of the Wild players, and will likely help to enrich the playthroughs of many, whether brand new to the game or simply starting a new playthrough. Zelda: Breath of the Wild is set to continue to impress fans in the future, with it being impossible to see everything the game has to offer in just a single playthrough. The Redditor, along with the many commenters on the post, have proven how much there is when it comes to Zelda: Breath of the Wild's many discoveries.
