The BEST Quality of Life Changes in Tears of the Kingdom! (No Spoilers) AquaTwist 2023-05-29 | The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been out and I alreadydove deep into the game! I've been loving it since launch and put over100 hours as of this video. There are dozens of amazing changes made to this game, including a better story, better music, and better gameplay. However, I believe the quality of life improvements made to this game, especially to the user interface, help make Tears of the Kingdom a much better game than Breath of the Wild. So today I wanted to talk about some of the best quality of life improvements that I found while playing the first 100 hours of the game, I also share my suggestions/critiques for how Nintendo could improve their UI and add further quality of life changes in their future titles, especially for the Switch 2.There are NO SPOILERS of Tears of the Kingdom in this video, so feel free to watch this video if you haven't gotten the game yet.Let me know in the comments below what you think of these quality of life changes, and what you think about Tears of the Kingdom!~CHAPTERS~ 0:00 Intro1:23 Setting The Stage - The Title Screen2:53 A Smoother Ride - Major Improvements 4:45 Polishing It Further - Minor UI Tweaks6:35 Look To The Future - Some Critiques8:03 Final Thoughts~MUSIC USED~The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Tarrey Town (Married)The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Zora's Domain (Day)The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Rito Village (Night)The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Shrine Battle The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Riding (Day)Ico - Heal

It's created by the same person who made Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac. But is it just as awesome as those two indie games? Let's find out!*Switch Month 2 is the second year of the Switch Month miniseries, where every week I release a video that is related tothe Nintendo Switch.———————————————————————Footage From:~Myself~Quadraxis14: youtube.com/watch?v=ZvYXQf_Ygik~TechGroundsTV: youtube.com/watch?v=yZXYTk6GGCI~SolidusBochas: youtube.com/watch?v=OEdYlKYcNvQ~Jerma985: youtube.com/watch?v=IjWXVtUbqEU~Direct-Feed Games: youtube.com/watch?v=bLgm_ZbVPp0———————————————————————Ash Image in the Thumbnail created by SmashRoyale onDeviantArt ► http://bit.ly/2GnUodg———————————————————————*Music Used*~"8 Bit Vengeance" - EliteFerrex:youtube.com/watch?v=RpKUdC9aTRQ~Super Mario Galaxy - "Into the Galaxy" 8 Bit Remix by Tater Tot Tunes:youtube.com/watch?v=SRpTy7gDi3A~Splatoon 2 - "Color Pulse" 8 Bit Remix by Tater Tot Tunes:youtube.com/watch?v=G0nlDbNhNA4~Super Mario Odyssey - "Honeylune Ridge Caves" 8 Bit Remix by Tater Tot Tunes:youtube.com/watch?v=ByBpeZfBDz4~Splatoon 2 - "Now or Never" 8 Bit Remix by Tater Tot Tunes:youtube.com/watch?v=AshQgGsTlz4———————————————————————*Disclaimer: I do not own any of the music used in this video.

The 1st Person to DAB in 2018? - 2018 Countdown! [Stream Archive] AquaTwist 2018-01-01 | Follow me on Twitter ► twitter.com/TheManiacZach Discord Server ► discord.gg/XVx5kUDSwitch Friend Code: 1676-1568-4785Wii U ID: Zach2000-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------With 2017 coming to a close, I decided it would be fun to do a livecountdown to 2018!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~Download Super Oofio 64 Here ►http://bit.ly/2CpBqE9-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~Streaming F.A.Q.~1) Q. When are you going to stream again? A. Since I don't have a set schedule, I'm not always sure. The best way to find out is to follow my Twitter account because I'll usually let you guys know within 1-2 days before the stream itself.2) Q. Can I be a moderator/mod? A. I'm sorry, but just asking won't get you far. I only make people mods if I trust them well enough in real life or online because I want to make sure that I have mods to help keep the chat clean. So you would have to gain my trust (which would take multiple streams) before I would consider you as a mod.3) Q. Can I have a shoutout? A. Similar to the last question, I won't just shout out any YouTuber. In fact, I don't do it that often. I only shout out others on streams/videos if I really enjoyed their content or if they have helped me with my videos in some capacity. I'm sorry, but if you don't meet either of this criteria, I won't just shout you out willy nilly.4) Q. I want to donate! Where is the donation link? A. I'm sorry, but I don't have my donations set up right now. I do appreciate that you are willing to support the channel though, so I probably will have one set up by the end of this year.5) Q. What do you use to record these streams? A. For recording the gameplay, I use an Elgato HD Pro 60 Capture Card. I also have a Logitech C922 Logitech Pro Stream Webcam which is what I use to record my face in these streams. For streaming itself, I use Open Broadcaster Software (OBS).-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~RULES~1) DO NOT bring up politics in the chat unless if you want to make a non-offensive joke about them, such as about Donald Trump. I don't mind sharing my opinions about politics, but YouTube is not a good place to do it personally.2) Make it PG! I don't mind if you're swearing when talking in the chat, but don't go overboard on it. Also this rule includes not making any offensive jokes about disability, sex, religion, race, etc.3) If you have any questions about the F.A.Q./Rules, feel free to ask me or the moderators.4) DO NOT SPAM messages in the chat, or else you will be temporarily blocked by me or the moderators.5) Respect the opinions of the chat and me and don't go on a temper tantrum if you can't respect them. Otherwise, you will be blocked temporarily by the moderators or me.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*Music Used:*~Xenoblade Chronicles - "Gaur Plains (Night)":youtube.com/watch?v=RjIY5_spXhE~Super Mario Odyssey - "Another World" 8 Bit Remix by Tater Tot Tunes: youtube.com/watch?v=lYXXX1km0cg~Super Mario Sunshine - "Secret Course" 8 Bit Remix by Tater Tot Tunes: youtube.com/watch?v=KOYSCEIltHk~Splatoon 2 - "Shooting Starfish" 8 Bit Remix by Tater Tot Tunes: youtube.com/watch?v=nRWe1i4LSC0~Splatoon 2 - "Ebb and Flow" 8 Bit Remix by Tater Tot Tunes:youtube.com/watch?v=C3h6Q_XVR4U~Splatoon 2 - "Color Pulse" 8 Bit Remix by Tater Tot Tunes: youtube.com/watch?v=G0nlDbNhNA4~Super Mario Galaxy - "Dino Piranha" 8 Bit Remix by Tater Tot Tunes: youtube.com/watch?v=jQwJti4e9JQ~Super Mario Galaxy - "Gusty Garden Galaxy" 8 Bit Remix by Tater Tot Tunes: youtube.com/watch?v=MM6x6RBh9Ds&t=236s~Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story - "In the Final" 8 Bit Remix by Tater Tot Tunes: youtube.com/watch?v=zX1JWg8wGN8*Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism comment news reporting teaching scholarship, education and research.
