For the coolest secret of them all, we need to go back to applying the Sheikah language from Breath of the Wild (as seen here) for the biggest mind-blower in all of Hyrule. One that only rewards the most devoted of Zelda fans.

First up, you need to have ponied up the substantial cash for the Master Edition of the game, which by now, you'll have to sift through second-hand listings online to track down. Still, on its packaging there's a small 'trim' of Sheikah symbols adorning its edges, which if you translate, becomes "The Hyrule Fantasy".

The Hyrule Fantasy was the very first name name pitched for 1986's The Legend of Zelda over 30 years ago. As if more proof were needed of Breath of the Wild is a clean slate, this brings everything full circle.
