Will play this game soon too, until then i wait with this video. I just hope it will actually feel more like Zelda again and not how BoTW felt more mainstreamed-"nintendo skyrim". Don't get me wrong, BoTW itself was a good game. But i wouldn't consider it to be "very zelda"

Hey Gab few tips for you, - if your fuse weapons are about to break but you really like the base weapon, you can replenish the durability of said weapon by destroying the attached component and reusing the fuse ability on said weapon. And if by mistake you attached something important to your weapon or shield you can later get it back at some point in game so don't worry. - if the cave icon on map has a check mark that means you have defeated that frog monster of that cave. Some cave have a some kind of banner hanging from the ceiling or walls , if you see that then make sure to thoroughly explore the cave they have certain items that are really helpful. - You can also throw the items by hand actually. I'm really looking forward for this playthrough, your Zelda ones are my personal favourite.

This franchise loves to recycle names for characters and locations. Rauru would not be the first instance of this being the case, and will definitely not be the last. There is nothing weird about it.
I want to watch this, but I’m playing the game myself with a really limited amount of time to play and want to discover things on my own, so really don’t want to get spoiled by watching others’ play throughs. I’m going to watch in drips and drabs as I make my own progress, but really look forward to seeing the whole series eventually.

Same! I saw Sean posted one as well but I wanted to watch Gab's first.
The best advice I can offer so far is to experiment and think really outside the box. So far, I've made a mega-log to put alongside mountains and hills with 5 tree logs and stones to the sides as resting points when climbing it. I've put a control point on a wheel with 4 fans around the wheel to make a hover pad. And a wagon death machine by building a wagon and putting weapons in the front along with flamethrowers. Also, constantly trying out fusion options and throwing items with your hand (R) or with a bow can help out a lot. You can unfuse weapons in the inventory so if you make something you don't like you can always redo it ✨🌙
You are naturally hilarious without forcing it plus your Eddie Murphy laugh is adorable. Def one of my favorite KZread gamers. Thanks for doing these games.

Gab, I’m so glad you mentioned feeling overwhelmed by all the new game mechanics. I thought exactly the same thing yesterday. Like, how will I know what to even make??!! It’s a bit intimidating.
Finally have some time to sit down and watch this series properly. I only finished the game myself about 2 months ago and have been waiting to watch this. I know I'm super late but I'm so excited to see how other people play :D

36:29 Upgrading the Purah Pad is locked behind doing one of the temples in the main quest first. The ability in the bottom right corner is unlocked through a sidequest found in the depths. Collecting all the memories before doing any Temples is a bit "spoilery", you might prefer to experience doing Temples before memories. Two handed weapons are better for turning into rock hammers since you only need to hit ore rocks once instead of twice to break them. Armour wearing bokoblins can't be harmed until you break their armour, which takes less hits to break from rock hammers than bladed weapons. Muddlebud arrows are good for defeating Bokoblin hordes. Ultrahand can be used against the big bosses made of metal cubes. Link can now climb the dragons & stay on them while collecting their parts, but you'll need the relevant elemental resistance to not take damage from them. Goron City & Rito City sell 2 of the armour sets you'll need, the other is found in caves but isn't as necessary as the other 2. The Goron City merchant is lying about the price of the Heat Armour being on discount, you'll get it cheaper at the headquarters of the new company. Fusing Dragon parts to weapons gives them elemental power allowing you to oneshot certain enemies. Elemental weapons & shields can also provide cold or heat resistance depending on which Dragon part you use. Weather resistance from shields & weapons doesn't stack, so you'll still need to combine with wearing a piece of armour when 2 levels are needed, but applying weather resistance to your shield instead of your weapon means you can use whatever weapon you want in those environments. A very energy efficient, useful machine for travelling is a Flying bike made by attaching 2 fans to a steering stick so that the fans are blowing diagonally downward & backwards. A brightbloom seed can be thrown onto the front to make it suitable for traversing the depths. The depths have enough Zonaite to transfer for the crystallised charges needed to increase your battery power for Zonai machines.
Im a little bit late, but heres a thing that probably wasnt mentioned three times already: You can fuse a bundle of wood to any weapon to create a torch. Its not powerful, but it can be used for a lot of different things like making balloons fly, melting ice blocks or lighting up things. It is also quite durable so it can be used for a long time before breaking.
The skyfall part in the beginning with the amazing music, reminds me of Laputa
I tried not to watch this because I didn't want spoilers, but I couldn't resist! Oh man this game looks so cool! My boyfriend and I will be starting this tonight, so I'll just have a head start, I guess. If we run into anything you missed or find anything of value on our journey, I'll be sure to make a comment about it, but you'll probably help our game more than we'll help yours! So excited for the next one!
I just watched griffin mcelroy play this too and the difference in the way the two think and approach things with different instincts is astounding. Neither bad, just so different
One more fun fact i discovered that ice chu chu jelly when you put it on an arrow it can make an ice platform on water
i'm so glad gab enjoys tips because it frustrates me so badly to see people not knowing useful things and ignoring comments with lots of information

I remember Gab saying that she didn't enjoy BOTW very much in her first playthrough either. I know she liked it a lot this time around, though. I'm not very familiar with the Zelda franchise but I really enjoyed her playthrough and it makes me want to try out the whole universe.
"I've got LONG STICK" too pure how her reaction and Sean's are similar about silly stuff like this
21:44 That reaction to the giant jump 🤣🤣🤣 Yay! Start of Tears of the Kingdom, I can’t wait!!! 😆
Due to sustaining a double thumb and wrist injury, I can hardly play console anymore and haven't gotten to finish TotK yet. So this series really fulfills the void for me. Also, Gab mentioning the innovative things ppl are gonna make and all I can think of is the 360 degree fire breathing armored wagon I built to drive around lol
So pumped! Playing it myself and so excited to experience it all over again with you Gabbers! Thank you for sharing with us ❤
I really hope Sean does a full playthrough, too. I'd love to watch both perspectives
I'm so happy I can come back to this series. Life has been crazy, and I stopped playing halfway through. I'm looking forward to watching these and seeing what I missed!
TIP! I'm only at 46:57 right when Gabs is trying out the Ultrahand rotation for the first time so I'm not sure if she figures it out down the line or if someone else mentions it, but this is what I told my husband who had difficulty with the rotation. Use the axis lines as guides - the item will "snap" to those axes and make it easier to keep an item "straight". If you get all out of whack and can't figure out how to rotate something, press B to cancel and let it drop to the ground so it's flat again. I can't wait for this LP!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Yes! Rauru is the sage of Light in ocarina of Time! For someone to know this, you really know your Zelda! And you even speak Japanese, how amazing.
Gab is the first person I've seen make a double hook platform! Gab's like "if I'm gonna make something it's gonna be STURDY"
Yep, Rauru is the Sage in Ocarina of Time.
One of the things people figured out from the trailers, so it is okay if you did not know, was if you listen while Link cooks he hums Kass's theme. Pwople were theorizing that he might do it throughout the game but he atleast does it when cooking
My game arrived today, but it wasn’t until the evening so I had to wait ALL DAY to play it. It was agony. But I love this game so much already. Zelda is my favourite video game series and watching you play it Gab brings me so much joy. I love your videos so much, but especially your Zelda play throughs. They’re just so cosy and comforting for me to watch! 🥰
So excited that this is a one of the first games I’ll be able to play alongside you!
After 240+ hrs of running, flying, searching and fighting I am finally ready to watch this playthrough! \(^^)/
Hurt my back at work and both you and Sean playing this is helping me recover. Bless the both of u
*sword starts to glow* "there's orks about" (both Gab and Jack)

Gab not helping that first Korok hurt me. You can attach them to things to get them to their friends
been waiting for this upload, so excited to see you play this. i hope you enjoy it!!
It is so refreshing to watch someone play this game competently. (No shade to any other playthroughs I've watched. Fumbling is fun to watch in its own way.)
The happiness of 1. This game being out and 2. A hecking new Zelda playthrough is honestly like a kid opening presents on Christmas morning ❤
I just realized. How is any of the food Link finds in containers edible after 10,000 years? The only food I know that can even come close is Honey if it's sealed air tight!
Loved your BOTW series, it honestly got me back into playing it after not really having an interest. I’m excited to watch this series and play along! ✨
“I just apologized to wood” is such a mood
i love the joy and enthusiasm in this video! well all of gab's videos but this one especially
all three people i've watched play this made the lotr "are there orcs around?" joke when the master sword started glowing! made me laugh every time :)
Been watching every Zelda playthrough you've done, majora's mask is my favourite playthrough you've done so far and I'm beyond excited for this series!!
Was seriously debating buying and playing it myself. But I know she can give it far more justice! Looking forward to the 30-part series!!
Yesss wasnt expecting a vid till at least tomorrow. But the day just keeps getting better. I do want to say you can directly drop weapons from the weapon select wheel so you dont have equip and throw
This is already amazing,with the new gameplay mechanics and abilities!Thank you Gab for uploading the first part,can’t wait to see the rest of Tears of the Kingdom with you and everyone else!☺️I’ve also avoided the trailers to avoid any and all spoilers as well!🙂
At 1 hour and 3 minutes the korok trying to get to his friend, you can actually use ultrahand to pick up the backpack with him attached to it and attach him to the platform you made so you can bring him to the other island his friend is on.
Gab you can check if you got all the shrine chests by looking for a chest icon next to the shrine name on your map
The "Sorry, sorry, sorry" to the Korok when you dropped him XD All I could think about was my evil laughter when I didn't attach him to the track and he flew off th ride XD
Tears of the kingdom is here! I’m so excited for this one! thanks for the video gab!❤
I love the Legend of Zelda games but i can never get past any of the temples in the older games and in breath of the wild, i couldnt get past any od the shrines. Gab, i love all of your LOZ playthroughs! Thank you for showing me what happens 😅
Oh yay! I was so tempted to start watching another person playing this, as I have been excited to continue watching the story after watching your breath of the wild playthrough. But hearing the english voice actors and not watching your excited reactions I couldn't watch more than a few minutes. So seeing this pop into my notifications has made me so happy! Thank you for starting this playthrough, very excited to watch you discover all the new story and gameplay!
The only playthrough and reaction I was waiting to watch! That intro was so cool when I went through it my own🥹 so hyped and I had the same excat reaction when it played in english LOL and with all the callbacks for the old games without spoiling !
Yay! I had to wait a big because I wanted to play it myself before watching other people. As I was playing it, I kept thinking "this is exactly what Gab was saying she wanted to improve when she was playing the previous game". The quick select recipes, the option to discard from your inventory when you open a chest and don't have room... I wonder what else there might be.
If you let link actually cook, he'll hum a couple familiar tunes like Saria's song, OoT Hyrule Field theme, Ballad of the Goddess, Zelda's theme song, etc!
They REALLY need to patch the game so you can pet the dogs.
Rauru is mainly from Wind Waker, but the Wiki also says he has an Owl form, so maybe the Owl from Ocarina as well. He does seem to be a Sage of some sort and comes from the Era of Chaos (Skyward Sword and all) but definitely from the Hero of Time timeline. So, we know where BotW and TotK are now situated in the timeline. Unless it is a point where all timelines merged or something...
Love that every single person I've watched made the exact same blue-glowing sword joke, "Are there orcs nearby?"
Im so happy to finally watch this, finally past the point in game where i can slowly start to watch them one by one
The playthroughs have been good for me. Mostly because I have used them to fall asleep. Gabs got a soothing voice and game music is awesome as background noise.
glad to see that you're making a series on this game, just got done watching your breath of the wild series and I loved it! hopefully this one is just as good, keep up the great content.
5:51 they kind of remind me of the guardians from skyward sword during the trials to power up the sword
Yess, I can watch the whole thing even tho I'm playing it myself! Got far enough last night, super excited to watch you play!
Gab: they were like weird chickens… weird chickens with t*tties. Me: (Spits out coffee) 😂😂🤌🏾
It’s nice to see I’m not the only player going in thinking I’m invincible 😂 can’t tell ya how many times I died thinking Mipha was gonna save me 😢
My favorite fuze combination is any kind of bomb and a sheild, its great for getting some space, just block and wait to be hit, work extra well when surrounded by more bombs
Calamity Ganon was the malice and hatred from gannondorf in physical form. That's how I always looked at it. Since he's at the bottom of the castle, it supports my theory.
I honestly can't handle to much of watching your videos because you are out right STUNNING!!! Sorry to say however I don't pay attention to any game you play. I just watch your videos to see your smile and when that dimple appears *****WOW***** I just melt. Please keep doing what you are doing Gab. This might not make sense but I LOVE YOU for being you!!!
Gab: “oh it’s just a grate, you can through. Well that’s great” Nice pun
"Do u think they purr" Gab asking the real questions people xD
Link hums Zelda’s lullaby while he cooks, and other cool songs for Ocarina of Time and Kass’s Theme. It’s so cute.
Aahhh!!! I've been waiting all day to be able to watch your playthrough Gab!! Totally worth the wait! ❤❤
This game is REALLY great with the subtle details, such as the fact that, at 12:31, Zelda taps the stone with her finger before picking it up, checking to see if it's dangerous to touch. She's actually being rather smart for such a strange and scary situation, and it's great to see! (Spoilers for the main storyline below [nothing past Memory #8 or the Regional Phenomena, but still be warned]:) I would say that this is also what activates the stone and binds it to her, since this is what the new Sages do after their Temples (and, to a lesser extent, what Link does when he finds the stone in the Temple of Time), but Ganondorf simply grabs and holds up Sonia's stone in order to bind it to him. So it seems that any real contact in general will do the trick, not just tapping specifically. But it's still a neat parallel regardless, right?
I love watching Gab play games! And now i get to watch her play one of the best ones out there!!
8:22 AHHAHSAGAGHA God help I’m hysterically laughing at 4 am
Finally finished the story after doing almost everything I could do in the game! Now I can finally watch your series without spoilers! 😊
