Link to the comic for your convenience

Please only comment with ONE hidden detail or reference!

There ONE Loss, ONE Balthazar, and NO JoJo reference. Bonus panels don't count.

1: Even though mentioned by Fernando Sanchez I want to mention this on a separate occasion: everyone has changed into Hylian clothing. All these outfits are directly from the Breath of the Wild artbook!
2: Yep, Kazuya has apparently managed to fix his flaming wheelbarrow, FoxdocDylan!
3:
There's a sign that tells people not to step on the flowers in Hyrule. This is indeed a reference to that crazy flower lady at that one shrine that will punish you for stepping on flowers, John Hattan.
4:
Bowser Jr. is riding Yoshi and wearing a stables outfit. I thought it would be fitting to "disguise" Yoshi as a horse. Glad you noticed, Tejayes.
5:
Richter and Simon didn't really need a change of clothes because they were already wearing medieval warrior outfits. I was on the fence with Peach and Daisy, their dresses look pretty classic too, so they might have pulled it off. But I just wanted to draw them in cute Hylian outfits. Anyway, good catch Fernando Sanchez.
6:
Rosalina is dressed as a Sheikah! So not necessarily Impa or Purah, but I get the confusion, Zach.
7:
Kirby has indeed disguised himself as a Korok, Put 9-Volt In Smash Bros Please. Whether he ate one or just found a leave + stick, we'll never know.
8:
Yep, Hestu's Gift (the turd you get for collecting all the Korok seeds) is visible in the second panel. I'm not sure who was first, but you both mentioned different parts of the correct answer so I'll give you both a point, Iron Collie and Erin.
9:
The Ice Climbers are wearing very specific Hylian clothes: Warm Doublets, dyed to look like their original parkas. You can actually get these in the game!
10:
Donkey Kong, being a big ape, has disguised himself as a Goron.
11: Isabelle is holding a little notebook called "Isabelle's Notes".
12: Instead of "Nintendo", Diddy has a triforce on his cap. His cap also changed colours to match his Lurelin Village outfit. Found by Zanreo.
13: In the first/second panel, one can see Death Mountain in the background.
14: Isabelle calls Link "Regular Link" to differentiate him from Young Link and Toon Link.
15: You're right Shelby Kinkhead! There's a bunch of (slain) monsters in the background also resurrecting along with King K. Rool in the final few panels.
16: Diddy is trying to eat apples from the tree he is dangling from, and apparently eats one off-screen, as indicated by the apple core on the ground in the fifth panel. Good eye, Carrick RaccoonBro Inabnett!
17: Diddy does one of his taunts (the dancing/clapping one) while celebrating King K. Rool's return.
18: Yep, Balthazar is carved into the tree in the third panel. Glad you found him, happy pasta.
19: On the same tree, a beetle is crawling. This is not the one from Twilight Princess, Luke, but the Energetic Rhino Beetle from Breath of the Wild. Still, I'll give you a point!
20: This week's loss has once again been found by Trigger: it's in the glowing particles drifting in front of Incineroar in the fifth panel!
21: I was getting tired of naked Incineroar so yeah, I had indeed decided everyone had regrown their hair, Shelby Kinkhead. Maybe if we see Incineroar without clothes we'll notice patches of his fur are still shorter than the rest. For continuity's sake.
22: Piranha Plant has grown! He doesn't need to be carried around by his dad anymore and is now walking around on his own, even though he still needs training wheels. He is indeed visible in the first panel behind Kazuya, Griffin Seeley.

Finally, I was made aware of two oversights on my part, which I'll award as well:

23: The Blood Moon does indeed rise in the middle of the day, Zeliatheb. I had already finished a bunch of backgrounds before realizing this and I didn't have time to edit them anymore, so I just went ahead with a weird moon that rises during the day.
24: Apparently, those floating platforms are exclusive to Master Mode! I had no idea, but Phloxiana noticed it. I have played Breath of the Wild exclusively in Master Mode, so they felt very normal to me.

Details that haven't been found by anyone are written in italic.

Comments

Yeah, my husband had that happen to him. I figured it was intentional because they're "glitching" the world by bringing in a second Zelda, a few Links, and Ganondorf.

Zeliatheb

Opted to googled the Blood Moon thing, turns out it happening in the middle of the day is a glitch as a result of at least 3 hours of uninterrupted gameplay.

CSDX

Hestu's gift is on the ground in panel two in front of the ice climbers

Flowerblight Ganon: Scourge of Hila Rao Shrine

Griffin Seeley

Baby Piranha Plant hiding behind Papa Kazuya in the first panel.

CSDX

Daisy and Peach are not wearing any kind of footwear. That can't be safe.

Gavin Walker

Everyone grew their hair back

GhostElmo

The "don't step on the flowers" on the "Welcome to Hyrule" Sign is in reference to an infamous shrine quest.

Pokedude14

Kazuya with his flaming wheelbarrow again 😎 Guess he managed to get it fixed after hoisting Bowser around in the Unexpected Wahssistance comic!

Foxdoc

Baby Piranha plant is growing and is hanging around Dad Kazuya’s feet in the first panel

Griffin Seeley

Rosalina is dressed like Paya/Impa

Zach

Wait, those platforms don't appear in normal?? Haha git gud nerds

Wooden Plank Studios

This must be Hyrule with the BotW DLC. Those balloon platforms only appear in Master Mode, and Goddess Hylia help any of the crew who come across a Guardian or a Gold Lynel that can heal.

Phloxiana

The sign at the beginning is a reference to the crazy flower lady protecting a shrine

John Hattan

Bowser Jr. is wearing a stables worker's outfit, appropriately enough as he is riding Yoshi.

Tejayes

The Blood Moon rises in the middle of the day, instead of at night like it usually does in game.

Zeliatheb

Panel 4 has Balthazar’s face on the tree trunk behind Isabelle

happy pasta

Kirby is wearing the Korak leaf mask

Supercharged (CEO of 9-Volt)

You can see an apple core on the ground showing that Diddy ate one offscreen.

Carrick RaccoonBro Inabnett

One of the first things I noticed is the golden poop in the first panel that Hetsu gives to you if you find all the korok seeds

Everyone is dressed in Hyrule clothing except Simon and Richter

fsanchez6543

I just noticed the fine print so please pass the second one to the next person who mentions it

Shelby Kinkead

Oh yeah! Instead of nintendo, nice catch

THEx

In the background of the last few panels, you can see the enemies being revived by the blood moon as well

Shelby Kinkead

Hestu’s gift second panel

THEx

Diddy has a Triforce on his hat

Zanreo

hesta's poop gift near kirby!

Erin

I see the reward for collecting all the korok seeds on the ground in front of the ice climbers in the first panel...

Iron Collie

Well the fur on Incineroar’s tail is growing back but I’m unsure if that counts as a hidden detail or not

Shelby Kinkead

Loss in panel 5, the glowing red particles around scared Incineroar.

Trigger

There is a golden stag beetle from twilight princess on the tree behind Isabelle, in pretty much the same location as in the game
