Every detail that has been found will be added to the list below. Once everything has been found, this comic will officially be marked with "all details found".
Link to the comic for your convenience
Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!
There's one Loss, one Balthazar, one Miep and one crewmate. Bonus comics don't count.
1: Link is holding a sign that says "LAUNCH TEST #1" in the third panel, as pointed out by Fighting Master.
2: There's another bunch of sparkles visible in the second panel, indicating the presence of another Korok. Good catch, Spirit of Gotham!
3: Yes, Percylegallois! All these NPCs are actually in the game, and they're all located in or near Dueling Peaks stable! So no, that's NOT Matt from Mii Sports.
4: And they are also all wielding weapons you can actually find in the game, like a soup ladle, a farmer's pitchfork and a pot lid!
5: Ganondorf's underwear has the same pattern as his armor.
6: Miep is sleeping in the tree in the background of the fifth panel. Found by Cameron Devera.
7: In the same background, a recallable rock falls from one of the sky islands. Definitely a hidden detail, Brandon Digwood!
8: Ganondorf mentions Din in the fourth panel. Din is the Goddess of Power in the Zelda universe, so it would make sense for Ganondorf to consider her "his" god, since he's all about that Triforce of Power. Good catch, Generic Hero!
9: This week's loss is visible in the lighter spots of the rock in the seventh panel, as found by A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends!
10: Ganondorf has a little tattoo in the final panel (mentioned by Shelby Kinkead) that reads "moms", since he was raised by Twinrova. Glad you understood what I was doing there, Secretly5ft3!
11: The horse on the stable guy's hat gets replaced by a little crewmate in the final detail. Glad you noticed, The Negotiator!
12: Ganondorf is confused by the fact that he suddenly has a stamina wheel in the final panel, as mentioned by Calvin Barbanell.
13: In the same panel, a dog (or a Hylian retriever) has joined the angry mob. He's a brave boy indeed, Jon Brouse.
14: And finally, Blupee Balthazar makes another appearance in the background of the final panel! Good eyes, Daniel Myhre.
All the details that have not been found are marked italic.
Comments
Wait, is the guy who gets crushed a UMii version of Matt from Wii Sports? (In case you don't know, Hylian NPCs in BOTW/TOTK use a slightly modified Mii format called UMii to define the Hylian NPCs' facial features, so through modding you can more or less import Miis into BOTW/TOTK) https://www.polygon.com/2021/1/5/22215263/breath-of-the-wild-npcs-are-miis-nintendo-legend-of-zelda-switch

2023-07-07 12:55:50 +0000 UTCSince link rarely speaks he's using signs instead
Fighting Master
2023-07-04 17:21:40 +0000 UTCDoesn't hurt that in the Oracles they are the ones who work on reviving him
Pokedude14
2023-06-30 18:43:23 +0000 UTCSo why do they know the name Ganondorf if it has been lost to history?
Alan-Michael White
2023-06-30 17:48:39 +0000 UTCI mean, it makes sense, though. His last canon appearance was Twilight Princess, and the stamina wheel debuted in Skyward Sword. "Damn these newfangled mechanics!"
Generic Hero
2023-06-30 16:29:34 +0000 UTCA Hylian retriever has joined in the chase in the last panel. That is one brave boi.
Jon Brouse
2023-06-30 15:52:30 +0000 UTCHuh. My big question if I was Rauru would be "where did they get those rockets", as there aren't any Rocket Dispensers on the initial 'tutorial island'.
Lord Circe
2023-06-30 15:50:24 +0000 UTCInstead of saying "God knows how long", he says "Din knows how long", since Din is the Goddess of Power, and Ganondorf usually possesses that piece of the Triforce.
Generic Hero
2023-06-30 15:38:41 +0000 UTCI can understand why people are scared of OoT Ganondorf when they have they’re own Ganon to deal with. Also the stamina bar is present when Ganondorf was running.
PenHeart3
2023-06-30 15:25:06 +0000 UTCBalthazar in the final panel
Pokedude14
2023-06-30 15:05:09 +0000 UTCThe twinrova, kotake and koume, raised him as a child. Their names are actually on toon ganondof’s swords, and I think on the gloom sword in totk. He loves his moms.
2023-06-30 15:00:57 +0000 UTCEvery NPC is a real NPC from TOTK
Percylegallois
2023-06-30 14:45:18 +0000 UTCJust two?
A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends
2023-06-30 14:27:40 +0000 UTCThe rock that crushes the guy has a loss on it
A Sad Fat Dragon with No Friends
2023-06-30 14:26:55 +0000 UTCIn the fifth panel, you can see one of the ruins stones falling from the sky? Not sure if this is a hidden detail or not since it's part of the regular game.
Brandon Digwood
2023-06-30 14:21:49 +0000 UTCGanondorf as a “moms” heart tattoo in the last panel since he has two
2023-06-30 14:10:33 +0000 UTCPikachu is giving whatever thatguy's name is again a thumbs up
Tolis
2023-06-30 14:10:07 +0000 UTCThere's another korok hiddden in panel 2 is this gonna be a thing throughout the entire totk arc?
Fighting Master
2023-06-30 14:08:57 +0000 UTCThere's a korok hidden in the background of the trebuchet panel, just above the boulder
Spirit of Gotham
2023-06-30 14:08:31 +0000 UTCThe bottom left Hylian on Panel 5 is based on Matt from Wii Sports (For those who don't know, Nintendo created the Hylians in BotW by basing them on Miis).
BenjaMan64
2023-06-30 14:08:12 +0000 UTCIn the testing site panels, Pikachu's electricity spells Zap and another word
LadyValerie
2023-06-30 14:04:13 +0000 UTCYou can see the crewmate logo on the hat in the final panel.
The Negotiator
2023-06-30 14:03:38 +0000 UTCGanondorf apparently does not understand what a stamina wheel is.
Calvin Barbanell
2023-06-30 14:03:01 +0000 UTCI was not expecting Smash Ganondorf to have a tattoo in the final panel
Shelby Kinkead
2023-06-30 14:01:38 +0000 UTCI see Miep sleeping on the tree in the 5th panel!
