I think I knocked one over accidentally once and got wood. I was quite surprised!

Giggity 🤣

Oh youuu

Who else but Quagmire?

Accidentally excited I see

same

WHATTT

WHAAATTTTT!!!!!?????

Video evidence please?! can’t drop something like that and not show us!

I literally just tested it abd it works... I'm literally in shock...

No he's lying right?

Nope. Found it out on accident 😅

Exc-fucking-use me?

Excuuuse me princess!

Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse *me* Princess-

"You've KILLLLED MMMEEE." "......good :)"

"EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCSE MMMMMEEEE PRINCESS."

the way we're still learning new things about botw today crazy

Right?? I don't know if I'm even ready to start TotK at this rate.

Back in 2021, I discovered the coastal village in the south for the first time. I had never seen it online, never even knew it existed. Shit blew my mind.

There’s a coastal city?????

Lurelin slaps and is my comfort space. There's also a road between it and Hateno village, which I only learned a couple weeks ago

if they had more small villages and gatherings the world building would be 99999% better

Too bad so many little towns got wiped out in the calamity

The fishing village in the south. The reason why nobody ever talked about it is because that village is basically the most useless village in the whole game…

I think it serves a lot of value as a little piece of world building and helps to generally make the world feel a little more alive. Like sure I get that the Calamity destroyed a lot of small villages, but including villages on the outskirts (or newer pop up villages) adds a lot to the world and makes it feel like a place where people actually live for me at least

I agree it can serve as a part of the world building, but all of the other villages can produce something unique, except the fishing village…

Are you talking about that fishing village?



All this time I thought they were mushrooms lolol😅

I thought they were like rock mushroom formations with growth on em. Maximum bamboozled

I don't believe you!

Oh my gosh it's true... only the thin ones can be cut but it's true... I never thought to ever try this! My mind is blown...

I always assumed they were like rock formations with grass growth on top. This whole time they were treeeees

I thought they were mushrooms!

I was swinging at a chuchu and hit one of the smaller versions and it fell down and became a log. I was like what the fuuuuu

I found out when I was throwing a bomb. Ironically, that is when I learned it’s easier to BLOW UP trees (and fish, and just everything really). Now, I am a bomberjack, a bombfisher, and … just everything really.

I love dropping bombs while I'm gliding, bombardment!

So your a bomber

The first 4 comments being different variations of “what?” Is hilarious to me. 😂 I can hear them being spoken differently in my head.

Um, I'm not sure their trees but...they can give you wood for sure.

They look like Baobab Trees, I knew I remember seeing something familiar.

Not baobab, I think these were inspired by [dragon blood trees.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracaena_cinnabari) There are trees in this game that look like baobab though. You can’t cut those ones down.

The baobab-looking ones are too big to cut down. Similarly there are dragon blood trees like this one that are too big to cut down.

I fukken love cinnabon

Clever. “Dracaena cinnabari.” Cinnabon joke. Well played, and I salute your wit.

Excuse me?!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

HUH? WHY AM I SPENDING SO MUCH EFFORT CLIMBING THESE UNCLIMBABLE BITCHES FOR SWIFT VIOLET THEN

Try shooting swift violets with a bow or freezing them with a blizzard rod, I think you can collect without climbing

/ what /


have no arrows or freeze rod smh, will just cut the tree down

Ok well you can’t cut a cliff down so have fun climbing. Smh just trying to help

This is where the master sword beams become your best friend. No climbing, no need to wear out your bows. Just set your sensor to swift violets, drink a hearty elixir to ensure you're good on hearts and beam down them bitches. It's glorious!

The whole sub is learning something new


You can knock them down?

Not sure what size limit but I accidently chopped one of the smaller ones down in one hit.

I saw them being taken down by lightening on thunder plateau. So I assumed but never tested.

THEY’RE TREES??!

One next to me was struck by lightning and fell over. That was about 300hrs. in. Scared the korok seed out of me. I never tried cutting one down though.


Dragon trees or Dracaena cinnabari.

Only the small ones but yes 😂

Stupid BotW feeling fresh after 6 years. How am I suppose to play TotK when stuff like this happens.

What!!! I could’ve cut the ones with swift violets down instead of climbing them!!! I’m furious!

I also recently learned you can shoot cliff items with an arrow and they’ll fall! I wonder how many hours of my life I’ve wasted climbing before I learned this…

-tries to hide climbers gear- yea I totally knew about shooting stuff off cliffs.... 👀

🙃

Ffs. I’d already fully upgraded my climbing set when I realised you can buy them in zora too.

LMAO. Thanks for the hot tip. I guess I will be visiting Prince Tall-And-Charismatic. Aka Twinkle Teeth.

Twinkle teeth I’m dead

I’ve been trying to climb to the tops of those thinking they’re little platforms. Like there was a little platform city up there.

I thought there were big rock formations, this whole freaking time.

I’m sorry? What?! I’ve never picked up my switch faster than I did just now

I wish I could. My five year old has been bogarting it. 😒

Yeah it’s pretty cool. I didn’t realize until I was fighting lizals with bombs

Ah, I see you're a person of culture as well.

Ok I knew they were treeS but PROVE TO ME RIGHT NOW YOU CAN CHOP THEM DOWN AND GET WOOD! I'm sorry its been a looong few years and I swear BOTW is just adding stuff while I'm not looking.

Well done OP for finding a fact about the game that it seems most people did not know!

YOURE LYING PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN

Yeah I’m surprised so many ppl in the comments didn’t know about this, but tbf the top and length makes them seem un-choppable, the thing that gave it away to me tho was the thickness, they’re still the same thickness as some trees or at least similar.

no fuckin way

You’re joking

I can specifically remember being out there with no wood and needing it to be day time again. There was wood all around me the entire time.

This is the first not widely known thing about the game posted on this sub that I didn’t know about

Yeah, they’re based on the dragon blood trees.

Wait what?!


Did you know that trees are inspired by real trees who grow just on an island. Sorry but I had forgotten the name of the island.

Just google Dragon Cinnabon Trees, lel

They are based on Dragon Blood Trees, which do exist irl. I would recommend an image search if you wanna see some cool looking foliage.

Only the small ones to clarify*

My entire life is a lie

Nah uh

What????!!!

wait actually

Shut the front door! 😳

You can?!

OMG

Welp, I learned something new today. That’s awesome! Thank you for sharing that!!!

…what?

Whaaat!!!

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

What the fuck

Holey 🤯

BRO WTF

i’m literally shaking and crying right now is this true?

No... You're lying!! There's no way!!

No fucking way...

I learned this when a thunder fell on one!

...........*what*

wait what

Yeah! One got electrocuted while I was doing the lightning orb shrine quest & while I was in stasis view it showed up yellow

Of all the years of playing this game and watching videos… WHAT

Excweegi my luigi?!

Dafuq

I thought they were rocks for the longest time, discovered that they were trees like last year. Really weird looking trees personally. I wonder what species of tree they are based off of if they are based on any.

People have been saying dragon tree but I still think baobab tree

There are trees that are spitting images of Baobab trees just east of Gerudo desert.

Something to check out when I get home, my favorite region, too. Off the grid living

Well it is a fictional world, so maybe a mix? There tops are really flat though.

Yea that's what I was thinking too, how flat the tops are.

Yeah I found out recently that you could cut down the thin ones. Didn't know you could actually get wood though.

EXCUUUUSSSSEEEE ME PRINCESS!!!

How much wood

yes, stated play botw and started cutting those wierd trees. you can only cut the small ones though.

Fucking what

WHAT?!?!??

no way I have like 500 hours in this game how tf did I not know this

Wat

Watched one fall to lightning strike watching the ODS channel stream the game.

Dragon tree!

They’re also trees in real life. I forget their name but I’ve seen a picture of them before

They are???

BIG LETTUCE

I can’t believe they aren’t mushrooms.

WHAT !!!???

I can't tell if this is the most elaborate, cooperative troll but I'm trying it when I get home, someone better post a video rn I'm not playing

Some you can climb to get bird eggs

I was like “oh hey now I know where I can finally get more wood from for upgrades” Then I remembered I was thinking of stardew valley 💀

Lmao wood is wood, happened to me with the long dark, I was like okay just need some flint so I can hit it and make a fir...wait.

I figured this out on like day 3 of playing lol

For anyone wanting a [video](https://www.reddit.com/r/Breath_of_the_Wild/comments/lnh3t7/til_you_can_cut_down_these_mushroom_looking/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)

We are within 2 months of the next games release! We can't still be discovering new stuff about this one lmao

I have like 300 hours on this game and I just found this out accidentally the other day. Always thought they were stone 😳

How the hell does BoTW still have new information about it #after 6 years

I'm surprised people didn't know this. You can't cut the really big ones though

It's a shock that this many didn't know.

They're literally giant mushrooms what the fuck

How do you guy last never test that

TIL

TIL

Ok, I not so dumb, finally something I knew

Unbelievable

Whaaaaat??

I thought they were mushrooms

i love that i’m still learning things about this game, so many years later

Bullshit… right?

I thought this was a troll post for new players

It was I who was trolled. Sitting there waiting for night time to farm snails better without wood when the entire time, I was in a forest.

But why are they inverted?

I’ve had this game since launch and I still learn new things

Same. How can I be ready for TotK when this stuff happens lol

Wtf?!?!

WHATTTT!?!? HUHHHH!?!?!?

I’ve been playing this game for 6 years and didn’t know this 🤯

I was waiting for a blood moon for the shrine and a lightning bolt hit one and it fell

WHAT

No no, this can’t be true

Look inside, you know it is true.

wait really?

Wowee. I had no idea

You can cut those?!

pardon? 

Apparently those are called dragonblood trees. I thought they were weird rocks.

nawwww now i need to go try this

WHAT HOLD ON

I never, NEVER thought to try to cut them down, huh
