Tears of the Kingdom Carries on a Breath of the Wild Tribute to Satoru Iwata

In Breath of the Wild, which released almost two years after the death of late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, Nintendo seemingly included a tribute to his memory in the form of Satori Mountain and its resident Lord of the Mountain. And now, in the sequel Tears of the Kingdom, that tribute has been further expanded upon with one of the game’s most mystical hidden encounters.

On Satori Mountain in Breath of the Wild, players who visited on certain nights could see a beautiful spectral creature called the Lord of the Mountain and witness a number of Blupees gathering. It was truly a breathtaking surprise moment for those who stumbled upon it, and a number of other context clues in-game pointed at the whole thing being a way to honor Iwata’s memory.

Tears of the Kingdom still includes Satori Mountain, but it goes a step further with the Lord of the Mountain creature, the Blupees, and the beauty surrounding it all.

Scattered across Hyrule are eight cherry blossom trees, including one on Satori Mountain. If you leave an offering of fruit in the offering plate in front of one of these trees, the Lord of the Mountain — a creature known as a Satori — will appear to you. The Satori will then mark several dozen points of interest in the nearby area with glowing blue auras. You can use these auras to seek out hidden caves that include Blupees, Bubbulfrogs, and other treasure and secrets. The auras disappear after a time, but you can bring them back by offering another piece of fruit at the shrine.

What’s more, collecting Bubbul Gems from Bubbulfrogs can get you multiple rewards, most notably three pieces of armor called the Mystic Robe, Mystic Trousers, and Mystic Headpiece, which resemble the Satori aesthetic. The final piece is extremely time consuming to collect due to the sheer amount of Bubbul Gems needed, so you’re likely to encounter multiple Satori on your way to this incredible outfit.
