Couple of things to add

Very cool. Your teacher is awesome for getting so involved. One thing I'm not sure was said in the comments: What she said about the Rock Salt, not expecting to see it near a volcano and then you mentioned Rock Salt being fairly common; unless i'm very mistaken, there are hints alluding to Hyrule once being almost completely underwater (think the Great Sea in Wind Waker) which could lend to the deposits of rock salt throughout the region. Just a cool addition that you may not have realized you touched on.

She saw rock salt in game and just sprinted off to get her rock salt like a true geologist

As a teacher, i think using media that students are using in their sparerime to demonstrate subjects. Very interesting take on teaching. Had i used this in Geology class, my students would be glued to the stuff

First off, this woman is a hero for taking this guy seriously when he asks her to look at a game's geology. Then she completely pinpoints the hot springs on Death Mtn. in a few seconds from miles away, making it even funnier when he can't find it on the map.

I find it so funny when she saw the rock salt and immediately went to go get actual rock salt

Bada$ teacher.

Imagine her reacting to caves in totk, she's such an amazing professor

The rock salt being everywhere may be a nod towards BotW’s possible connection to the great sea from windwaker, where the entirety of Hyrule was flooded by the ocean

your professor looks so passionate and interested in what she explains! Would love to see more of her if possible.

Great Video. You should definitely touch Hebra and Gerudo Highlands in your next one. Also with TOTK touch on the caves. Keep it up!

I watched (and thoroughly enjoyed) this vid when it came out and was just reminded of it while playing TotK and revisiting locations and stuff. Specifically, if you get a chance to make another one of these, please consider covering Horon Lagoon! It’s not an area that’s mentioned much, but it’s the site of one of the Kass shrines in BotW, the one where you bomb rocks to expose wind and passageways to paraglide through. It’s in the northernmost part of Lanayru Bay, to the southeast of Zora’s Domain & Shatterback Point, and directly east of the circular pond that Vah Ruta eventually settles in. What interests me is that the rocks in the lagoon are not just oddly shaped, but also look volcanic (black and porous) unlike the rocks in the surrounding area. It’s way closer to Necluda than to Eldin, too, and even though it’s not far from Akkala, it’s right on the coast so nowhere near Death Mountain.

12:54 I never saw someone get so excited to see/show Rock Salt.

Kind of wish she looked at the map as a whole since the terrain and weather/temps change drastically very quickly to see how accurate the various regions would be and how they meet up with each other

I'd love to see this being an entire series! I want to see her dissect Hyrule in all its glory. Can't wait until Friday when we can finally explore it again in a whole new way!

3:27 That must've been where Nintendo got their inspiration for the Dueling Peaks! It's so similar! Plus, it's in Japan. Neat.

This is so cool, kudos to you for putting this together and to Professor Davis for taking time out of her busy schedule to provide us with such fascinating information. I've often found that community college professors are the ones that really take their time to interact with students, because they're not at the whims of some big hulking university to produce research at every waking moment in order to justify why they're professors.
