As many veterans ofBOTWwill know, the first quest given after leaving the initial Great Plateau area is to find Impa in Kakariko Village. The Sheikah chief of the village, Impa informs Link that the four Divine Beasts have become infected by Calamity Ganon while he was in stasis, which then grants access to the Free the Divine Beasts main quest. However, one Reddit user has discovered some extra hidden dialogue, but only if you don’t speak to her…at first. Being an open-world sandbox, players can go just about anywhere inBreath of the Wild.If Link tries to approach one of theDivine Beasts like Vah Ruta, Zelda will telepathically inform Link of their corrupted state.
In addition to the otherwise-unheard bit of dialogue from Princess Zelda, Impa will have a new line to say, which is something along the lines of “well, I GUESS you didn’t need my help.” Those aren’t the only bits of hidden dialogue, however. Should players decide to skip running intothe Zora Prince Sidonwhen going to Zora’s Domain, it will trigger a new set of dialogue for the prince once Link approaches King Dorephan. Sidon is initially dismissive of the Hero of Time and states he’ll escort Link out, but quickly changes his tune once he realizes he is a Hylian.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildis packed with hidden details and secrets still being discovered, butZeldafans are also discovering plenty ofsecrets inThe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. Things like the origins of names, the secrets of stools, a hidden Tingle, and more. There’s even a form of “secret” dialogue triggered when asking the Kikwi hermit Yerbal about Farore’s Flame, and a Parella hidden near Lake Floria, although they aren’t as significant asBreath of the Wild’s.
The fact that gamers are still discovering new things aboutThe Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildis a testament to just how well-made of a game it is. HopefullyBOTW 2can not only match, but surpass the original game’s absolutely immense amount of content.
