The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a huge open world game, and so it's no surprise that some players may take nearly 2,500 hours to discover all of its secrets. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has a lot of hidden tricks and tips that players can utilize to give themselves an edge while exploring open world Hyrule, many of which may not be obvious even to the game's most-dedicated players.
Breath of the Wild has amassed millions of fans since the game first released in 2017. Released as a Nintendo Switch launch title, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild earned widespread critical acclaim and has been called one of the best video games ever made. The game's incredible depth is a big reason why it's still hugely popular to this day, with many still exploring open world Hyrule on a regular basis.
This includes Reddit user Aries8709, who claims to have played The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for nearly 2,500 hours. Despite having played Breath of the Wild for such an extreme amount of time, however, Aries8709 was completely unaware of a trick to improve their horse's stamina by giving them three extra Spurs. To do this, players simply need to feed their horse in Breath of the Wild an Endura Carrot.
Based on the comments, it seems many Breath of the Wild players were similarly unaware of this trick, though some have known about it for quite some time. In any case, there are many other tricks and tips in Breath of the Wild that players can employ to give themselves an advantage in the game.
It's likely that the long-awaited Breath of the Wild sequel Tears of the Kingdom will have plenty of its own secret tricks for player to discover as well. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will launch on May 12, 2023 as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, and it will seemingly expand Hyrule's open world by putting focus on the skies and underground dungeons. Much of the game has been kept secret so far, so fans will have to wait for more information on what it will entail.
While Legend of Zelda fans wait for more info on Tears of the Kingdom, they can return to Breath of the Wild to find all its secrets and truly master the game. Breath of the Wild is hiding a ton of secrets, though, so Zelda fans should be kept plenty busy.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is available now for Nintendo Switch and Wii U.
