Spoiler alert. Today's video pick is a GameTrailers tour through Twilight Princess secrets. The fanboys have surely won this game at least once by now, so the video will either show tricks they can recreate on their own, or they'll feel smug knowing they handled the game perfectly the first time.

If you haven't bested the Zelda game yet, know that you'll never be able to un-watch the surprises after the break. Do you have the willpower to finish exploring the game first?

For the past few months I've been so into this site, that I haven't missed a single post. I just put down Zelda to read this. I just finished the fourth temple, and the game is freaking incredible. You have no idea how hard it is to resist this. In fact, as soon as I beat the game I am going right back to this page. Damn you, Joystiq. DAMN YOU!

I love you, Josh. =]

Heh, i already knew these.
The Flourish Finish is definitely the best one; it adds just the right touch to make defeating an annoying enemy especially satisfying.

DarkLink117, it definitely is badass. I just wish he had a couple different ones. Got kind of sick of it after awhile.

Those were all fairly obvious...

And they're missing the ones that actually matter more.

To avoid hatred from people who haven't finished the game, I'll refrain from mentioning them. Just note that there are at least half a dozen very prominent things that they are missing about this game that you wouldn't notice by just playing it for what it is, and maybe a dozen more things that aren't as important yet still worth a mention as a "secret".

Those "secrets" are so lame. The biggest disapointment in this game was the fact that there was absolutly nothing to do in the game beyond the dungeons. The huge game world was completely barren with nothing to do and no one to interact with and no cool secrets. The only secret I didn't find on my own was the mario picture on the clothing. This was probably due to the low res textures when I was playing on my HDTV.

Weak "secrets".

Hey anybody who hasn't watched this because they haven't beaten the game yet: they ruin nothing in the plot and are nothing special, unless you didn't know about the whole werewolf thing. And for the Epona's quickstart thing, you don't need a running start. You just gotta aim at the booty.

Jim: Feb 3rd 2007; 5:16AM

Blah, boring "secrets" - they haven't even include on how to catch the chicken with the eagle. PFFFF!!!

lol

That was pretty sad. I don't know where to place the majority of the blame for such a pathetic feature; Nintendo or Gametrailers.

Played for 20 hours, got to the fifth dungeon, gave up from boredom. This is exactly what makes TP so unZeldaish, a lack of rewards and not enough cool secrets from exploring the massive, completely empty and dull world.

Brian: Feb 3rd 2007; 8:13AM

Run into Epona from behind and mount for a quick start...

That just doesn't sound right. :)

What the hell are you guys talking about? Zelda has tons of secrets, easter and stuff to do.

This video just showed the lamer ones.

POIUYTR: Feb 3rd 2007; 8:23AM

Sorry, I meant 'easter eggs'.

def PD: Feb 3rd 2007; 9:39AM

I never noticed the Bullet Bill one. Neat-o!

Crushed: Feb 3rd 2007; 3:50PM

Wow, this video completely skipped the cool ones. Nice job, GameTrailers.

JBGUY2K: Feb 3rd 2007; 10:41PM

It's a secret to everybody!

"7. Weak 'secrets'."
