With more than seven years behind it, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the Nintendo Switch video games that has featured the most anecdotes and that contains a good handful of curiosities. One of them is very well hidden and found in its soundtrackalthough it is likely that you have not noticed, unless you know how to master Morse code perfectly.
Each of the four Divine Beasts has its own musical themes that vary as you delve deeper into them and solve the puzzles inside them. However, the first time you approach one of them you can hear a very specific song in the background in which a series of Morse code beeps that correspond to a distress signal
The following video tries to show what it is like in the case of Vah Ruta, Vah Medoh, Vah Rudania and Vah Naboris:
Perhaps it is a bit complicated to identify because it does not sound exactly the same in the four Divine Beasts. In any case, as this is not a fact confirmed by Nintendo, this has led users to establish their own theories, such as that they were messages of help left by the chosen ones themselves
This fact gives it a more tragic and terrible touch still to the last final moments of Daruk, Mipha, Revali and Urbosa’s lives that took place 100 years before the events of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, since they asked for help to face this powerful enemy, but no one arrived in time to save them. What is indisputable is that it is a great detail and demonstrates once again the magic behind the soundtrack.
