Cutting signs has always been a thing in Zelda, in ocarina of time you can repair them by playing Zelda's lullaby after you cut them down (the same goes for majora's mask but with the song of healing).

The "overhaul" could have something to do with the fact that it can now be used in the construction of Ultrahand stuff or that it can now be fused to a weapon.

I found a subtle difference that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere. In Kakariko Village, the inn and stores have a doormat that's supposed to say "WELCOME" in Hylian language, but the textures were erroneously mirrored in BotW. Even though barely anyone would notice, they corrected them in TotK so they're facing the correct side to match the Hylian alphabet.

I like the reaction of vendors when you walk on their stuff, subtleties like that make a big difference for the immersion. I was replaying BotW and tried talking to Purah by standing on the table, first she just kind of gets annoyed and says "can you get down from there?". But keep doing it and she makes a personal note that your sleep in the resurrection shrine has caused you to look down on others in attempt to annoy them.

the sound design in totk is in general better at simulating the weight of things

You know, it would be real cool if you guys had the ability to have an interview with the developers to ask them these questions of the subtle differences between breath of the wild and tears of the Kingdom, and why they did it

I didn't know most of these because I'm a civilised Lonk that doesn't randomly vandalise signs, farms or shops

This is exactly what I thought might happen to people (especially those who never played botw -- yeah, don't ask why people are playing totk but not botw) when I noticed they didn't work without diving anymore

Super subtle. Like REAL subtle

I've found that the requirement to dive into Korok lilly circles is even more restrictive than that. A few times, I pressed the dive button and it still didn't count. It seems like it might be that if you're too close to the water's surface, it won't register as a proper dive. Maybe because it doesn't slash hard enough? Or maybe he doesn't have enough time to get into a full head-first dive position?

I love how the signs sound like they're hollow boxes when you hit them with your sword now. But losing the ability to read damages signs kinda stinks. I guess it probably has something to do with the fusion system, where cutting the sign turns it into a generic sign object to prevent issues once it's attached to something else.

Alternate title: “14 Subtle difference in signs between Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Botw”

Several wooden signs were hurt for the making of this video

In my 600h of BOTW and 280h of TOTK, I never tried to cut any signs. Even if it's a staple of the Zelda series.

I like this series, because it shows the design the decisions the developers made.

It is so interesting to see that they changed so many things. Didn't expect they'd do that. There must have been a long list of objects + things you can do with them + their sound effects + whatever else can happen with them = revisit all these things and validate if any change is needed (maybe even is there was players' feedback on the internet for that specific object), so at the end they had a large backlog of subtle differences to implement.

I'm glad to say I discovered #1 by myself. I think it's from spending too much time in Sheikah locations, such as Kakariko.

Not being able to examine signs on the ground seems like a step back

just a sign of the times I guess

Man, finished TOTK. Not close to 100% like I wanted as I got burned out due to work and shores, but did. This video made me want to play BOTW again, and then TOTK

As someone who ended up playing the two side by side because I restarted my BotW file in prep for TotK, I find a few of these (and a few other things) to be a bit more obvious than people are willing to give credit for. But it is interesting that Link has a bit of a heavier footfall and a louder splash in TotK. Perhaps he put on a bit of weight not represented by the game's graphics.

1:18 NO WONDER that Gordon City Lilypad Circle took forever!

I wonder why they got rid of the ability to read the signs when they are cut-down in TotK. I wonder if it has something to do with the new physics.

Addison would be proud of all these sign facts

Your videos are amazing. I love all the details you find. The footage you get. The amount of work you put into these 👍🏻.

This video made me realize I have never opened a door off-center in Botw

#2 caused me so much struggle in TOTK. I was like "why is it not working? what is going on?!" because I remembered that I didn't need to be diving in the last game! I actually thought that this might be a huge problem for new players who try jumping in normally, see that nothing happens, and never learn that the circles have koroks.

The swim speed buff from the zora armor now affects also the alt animations (those that resemble old swimming animations)

Not sure if you covered it yet in a previous video but another difference with lynels is the number of times you can hit them from on their back. In botw you can do 6 hits every time, but in totk you can only get six hits in once, the rest will boot you off after 3 usually

I just found out about cutting signs in TOTK and fused one to a shield. NPCs will be really confused. Haven't tested yet if there is hidden dialogue. Would be awesome, but I guess there is a limit for the amount of hidden little details even for Nintendo (I know about the Hudson sign though).

Love these videos

“I will hunt you down.” 😂

Did you know when fighting Torch Slugs in Ocarina of Time, hitting the ground with the Megaton Hammer flips them over? There are a few easily accessible ones in Ganon's Tower to try it out for yourself~

This video was a sign.

I love both of this game so much

If you mix a stick with a big boomerang it can be throwed to the stratosphere

well at least you can start a headfirst dive from anywhere whereas in botw it was a special animation triggered by jumping off a cliff towards water

1:03 Imagine getting knocked of a cliff by a Lynel, landing in the water and getting a Korok

So glad for that seared steak one, that was annoying

clearly bolson has been upgrading all the sighs with heavier, sturdier materials. :v

2:27 I've never seen that happening, never

Idk if you can suggest stuff here but in botw, important names or hints as to where to go for quest are teal. (ex. champion names or divine beasts) In totk stuff like that is red.

I picked up on the korok circles after jumping in feet forst didn't work. I didbt notice the other changes

Also did you know the hearts in Totk are orange while the hearts in botW are red

Also the Search has been swapped for Take when taking seared food items

of course he's heavier, his hair got longer (/j)

If you destroy the signs in either game, do they come back? Never tried in either.

14 Subtle Differences between Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and BOTW: *signs*

I love weird stupid details

How do you find these!? ^^' Randomly cutting a bush "Wait, that sound is different than in that previous game i played 5 years ago"

Yo why this 90% about signs 😭

Not sure if many of these differences make totk a better game or not. It’s good to know them, though

I can, with a heavy heart, say that I hope future console Zelda games stick to the open world style instead of the old style of play. I've truly come to love these two titles and their difficulty and custom ways of solving their puzzles.

Its like they intentionally made some things better for totk and then downgraded others. Some of the sounds for cutting things and the destruction physics of signs in botw were better in my opinion.

@MrStatement

I think the reason the sign physics were changed was because in TOTK you can use Ultrahand and Fuse on destroyed signs so they probably wanted to make it less annoying.

the first one I was like wow thats definitely subtle, like why would you ever test that lol. the second one I found really interesting though, I think I always just drove into the ones I've found so far anyways. the third one link sounds heavier not feels and could be the depth of the water but could just be a new sound. the door one is funny to I never noticed. it amazes me the time people spend on this game doing this stuff. I love the games and spend hours upon hours doing the things that are productive let alone just fouling around, I can't stare at a TV that long without sunlight everyday.

The splash one almost sounds to me like he gained a little weight (be it muscle or otherwise) that didn't get represented by the graphics. With as much as he eats though, I'm not surprised he did.

I wish they'd let you tame a lynal..so you can ride it around and be a show off 😂 Should have made that like DLC or something when TOTK came out but..oh well..stall horses are good enough i guess 🫤
