Summary

The video provides tips to help players navigate the early stages of the game. It covers various game mechanics such as the "Recall" ability, which allows the player to rewind time for certain objects and send them back where they came from. This ability is useful in many situations, such as sending projectiles back at enemies or lifting chunks of Fallen Islands back into the sky.

The video also discusses the importance of horses in the game, as they are one of the most efficient ways to travel across the surface of Hyrule. The video mentions that if the player has saved data for "Breath of the Wild", their registered horses will carry over into the sequel.

Another key aspect of the game covered in the video is the use of the "Pora Pad", a tool that functions as a map and telescope.

The video explains that the depths are a dark world underneath the kingdom, with a map just as large as the surface above it. The video also explains how to find "Light Roots", strange plants with a zonai symbol that glow brightly when activated and function as fast travel points.

The video concludes by discussing the best place to find zonite, a material that powers zonai technology. The video mentions that zonai rockets are among the most useful pieces for vehicle building, as they give anything they're strapped to a massive boost before expiring. The video also explains how to replenish Link's battery meter by using Zone eye charges or if it's already full, increased with temporary yellow battery meters.
