Not really "you can do this", but a neat little detail:

Fire weapon indoors

Fire weapon in the rain. The rain drops vaporize (only) on the blade and produce steam.

If you shoot an explosive barrel with a fire arrow while it's raining, it catches on fire and gets doused, instead of immediately exploding. The same applies if it's floating in water. Kind of weird if you ask me.

If you grab a Cuccoo and run into a battle, hit it twice and then set it down near an enemy or throw it at them and when the enemy hits it they'll be swarmed by Cuccoos. I wonder if that would work on the last boss 🤔

(CLIMBING IN THE RAIN)
If you can find an area to climb covered by an overhang it doesn't get wet in the rain.

I typically will take 3-4 steps up then jump. After which you always slip a bit, but if you constantly repeat this process you'll make decent progress.

If you're having trouble with Thyphlo Ruins...

If you have Urbosa's Fury: hold the charge as long as you can. Its green forcefield will illuminate quite a large area, and you will the see silhouettes of objects and obstacles. Obviously this works better the more stamina you have, as you can hold the charge longer, but still.

You can cancel the forcefield without doing the actual attack too, giving you an endless array of "radar", so to speak..

It appears if a character has a shield and weapon they will defend and attack if you attack often enough. In her case it was a soup spoon and cooking top.

today I saw a rainbow for the first time. It appeared, as one might expect, when it was raining but sunny, and looked quite realistic and particularly beautiful as the sun was setting.

In the tundra you can also see the northern lights / aurora borealis, but I think that's more widely known / easier to find.

If you release fireflies or other insects, Lizalfos will try to eat them instead of fight you.

NPCs often have more than one dialogue. Keep talking to them and sometimes the result is hilarious.

Stand on a seller's table in Tarrey Town and the seller will change their expression. Also they have multiple lines of saying how rude you are.

I did that quest at more than 100h in, so I can tell you exactly how it is. From leaving the plateau, you can encounter random NPC that can transform into Yiga clan (the skinny dudes) after a short speech with them. And that's it. I found about a dozen in all my playtime.

After you complete the Yiga Clan quest, you encounter the skinny dudes and the big dudes with the sword everywhere, even if not interacting with anyone.

If you somehow manage to get to the end in each of the first four shrines without actually getting the item the game acknowledges it and tells you to get the item first.

The rain really exists (in some parts) you can see the rainy clouds from far away, even the lightning on stormy ones. And how it starts to rain when the clouds come closer to you. This is the first game I see this. It is easier to see this from a tower.

I'm not sure about this, but it seems when you gallop and attack an enemy, the attack is stronger. I was one hit killing enemies with a weak Lance.

Smash Zelda amiibo sometimes gives you light bow. It shoots straight, fast, it is strong and doesn't use arrows, but you can't use elemental arrows.

The Lynel shields can damage an enemy when you parry a normal attack.

The painter is, well, not good at painting. But the paint is always related to the zone where you see him. Refreshment's Note: Pikango is actually emulating the Picasso style of painting, so he's actually quite good.

Some broadsword (big swords, sorry, I play in Spanish) do not have the spinning charge attack. Instead those have a samurai like charge. The Yiga wind sword is an example.

You can use heavy weapons, like the hammer, to solve some of those balance puzzles.

I figured out the formula for how much vendors will buy your elixirs for. It stumped me until I realized the number of ingredients is a factor, in the most literal sense.

The formula is:
(Selling price of all raw ingredients x factor) rounded up to the nearest multiple of 10.
Factor is:
1.8 for elixirs with 2 ingredients (which is the minimum as you need a bug/frog/etc. plus a monster part).
2.1 for elixirs with 3 ingredients.
2.4 for elixirs with 4 ingredients.
2.8 for elixirs with 5 ingredients.

Last night I discovered that you can stasis the torch stands in shrines and knock them around. Also, you can't use magnesis on the stands themselves, but you can magnesis and object into them and push them around quickly. I was able to push one up a ramp and then off a ledge onto a metal box. I could then stasis the box around very carefully and balance the torch stand on it to ignite objects (dry foliage, boxes, etc). Note, this is only useful because I'm super cheap and didn't want to waste any fire arrows. It took like 30 minutes.

calc84maniac said:
You can also light normal arrows on fire with a torch stand. They go out after a short while, but if you cancel firing you can walk around with a flaming arrow normally if you don't put the bow away. It doesn't use up any durability or arrows as far as I can tell, unless you actually fire it. If you're fast enough you can retrieve a fired flaming arrow before it burns up, too.

A lot of the secrets I've found, the game teaches me through loading screen hints, NPC conversations, shrine puzzles, or shrine quests. It's a pretty cool way to drip feel the wealth of info to the players.

A few I found out from the game:
-Both bombs have their own dentonator/cooldown meaning you can spam bombs if you want by just switching between the two and by the time one is detonated, the other should be charged up.
-Besides one being able to roll and one that is made to not roll, they have different weights so physics, wind, etc. effect them differently. Even just a regular throw sends the round bomb slightly farther.
-Wolf Link can help you find a Shrine if it's picked up by your Sheikah Slate. The loading screen tips let me know this one.

If you're having trouble catching a steed the stealthy wayparticularly the best ones south of Hebrayou can shoot an Ice Arrow at horses to freeze them in their tracks. Once frozen, wait beside/behind them until they thaw, and mount them once they do. It also works on bears and stags.

A cool detail I found was that when you equip the Flameblade, the chape (pointy part) and the locket (top part) of the scabbard are damaged. Usually, the scabbard is made of metal and then overlaid with fabric or something. Because the concentration of fire is at greatest near the point and the guard of the sword, it has melted away the fabric, leaving the metal part of scabbard exposed.

Cryonis doesn't seem to have any sort of elemental effect and I've tried it in a variety of depths of water. What it can do is push the fish below it, scare them onto shore if they are close enough, or occasionally lift them out of the water, but they are never frozen nor killed.

One thing testing this has lead me to discover is if you Cryonis directly over an Octorok, it pushes them underwater causing all their shots to hit the shore, and even if you miss, as long as you make pillar in front of them, it can block their shots. Also, If you are able to get the timing right to make a block under them while they jump out of the water and get them to stay on top, they'll try to bury into the ice like they were on land and just disappear.

I agree, I love that BotW doesnt push you to do and find everything with a checklist or pre-determined rewards. Korok seeds are a good example in that you need only less than half of the total for all the inventory upgrades.

I'm probably the only one, but I didnt realize you could do a forward hop/jump while crouching until I was at around the 100 hour mark lol.

Also, probably mentioned a few times already, but if you crouch at the side/back of a chest and open it link will punch it and hurt his hand.

I don't know if these are already been mentioned:

When it's raining, you can shieldsurf on tall grass very good and quite fast, even when the ground is very flat (hold forward)

If you wear a lizal shield (sadly I don't know which one anymore) and talk with the NPC for the shieldsurfing minigame, she compliments you and says that this is an excellent choice and that the spike will help for doing great manouvers (although I didn't really see a difference yet)

Chances of someone finding a new thing are slim at this point. Unless you do something in a rare circumstance involving many variables, it's probably been posted/discovered.

The sad thing with double/triple bows is that you cannot pick back the arrows.

That would not have been an exploit to get infinite arrows, since they break, but I would have seen myself duping arrows this way.

Holly shit, and i was playing right now when I get a tip on the loading screen explaining how the triple arrows consume only one! What are the odds??

Did you just use the triple bow before the tip appeared? I noticed the tips always appear after I discover/do something myself. They almost never tell me info I didn't already know.

So it's no surprise you got the tip after you used the bow (if that's the case).

This is what I think I'm seeing from this video (fighting two Lynels at the same time): https://youtu.be/BTX-mTPVGiI

I've been avoiding using those bows the whole time out of fear of quickly depleting my arrows... But if they only take one arrow to do multiple hits, holy shit. I've been missing out.

100 hours of game time and I haven't used my 5+ multi-arrow bows even once.. lol

Yeah I'm pretty sure I have one of those too, which is why in my original post I said "multiple" and not "triple".

I can't believe you guys didn't even try the multiple arrow bows. Shooting 5 bomb arrows at Lynels is the best.

I tried it a few times in the beginning to make it easier to hit bokoblins riding horses (I remember the description saying it's good for moving targets), but as my aim got better I thought why waste 3 arrows when one does the job? And it didn't occur to me that you could effectively headshot someone with 3 arrows from a close range (until I saw that video, I guess my brain was stuck in thinking of it as a spread of arrows to cover a wide range), that would have been worth it on occasions even if it took 3 arrows out of your stock.

Nice compilation! It's nice seeing a couple posts of mine there, especially the elixir price formula as that took some time.

Refreshment's Note: Pikango is actually emulating the Picasso style of painting, so he's actually quite good.

Umm. Uh-huh.

His name is likely a reference to Picasso and van Gogh, but he's not emulating anyone's style. He literally paints like a child (which might also be a Picasso reference).

That's Picasso's abstract style.

You actually read and hear it a lot of times in the game. Don't know how people could miss this information.

Yep, IIRC it's one of the hints that are showed during the loading screen.

EDIT beaten, lol

You do know that even though the bow fires 3 or 5 arrows, it only uses a single arrow out of your inventory, right?

Yes they only consume 1 arrow.

Yeah for a while I thought it shot 2-3 at a time for better damage but would use that many from your stock. I think I noticed my stock of arrows wasn't going down that quickly, plus someone talked about those bow types too

Naked Snake said:
Daaamn. Good thing I've been hoarding those bows "just in case"... Looks like I'm going to make it rain on some monsters soon

Crayolan said:
It says that in the description of any of those bows.

Koren said:
I thought it was in the description, though?

It's not in the description of the bows by the way. I checked. It must be only in the loading screen tips, which are random and keep repeating so I don't read them most of the time, or tip may have not even showed up for some people.

Koren · May 7, 2017

Even if it is in description, I'm sure it's not in all of them. The question is, is there a bow where it's written, since there's several of them?

There's x5 bows? Silver Lynel's is x3, no?

There is an x5 bow

Not my screenshot. I have the bow, don't remember where I got it from. The x5 thing might be a random luck attribute like the Durability Up, Attack Up, etc.

Have you not been to Korok Forest where you get one during a shrine quest and get told about this?
