There's like one in each level, there are also gay hidden chests where you crouch and they pop out of the ground. There are items to find both easier, or just use a guide. They give you (useless) items for beating a boss without getting hit, which is utter bullshit.

OoE thought of more ways to hide things than just "behind a breakable wall"

I don't agree. It's been a long time since I played this game, and I didn't get very far, but I insisted on beating one of the first bosses no hit because it seemed feasible, so I kept restarting until I did, and the medal popped up. Ever since then I've only moved past a castledroid boss after no hitting them and it's really increased my enjoyment of the whole genre. If it wasn't for the pointless medal I woudn't have kept it up for long. Bloodstained bosses are way more fun like this.

I know there's people that don't need such features, but I did, and I can't be the only one that gained motivation to try these challenges because of the explicit recognition.
I also don't think it matters that it's wholly cosmetic, since it'd be lame to get an item that makes the game easier when you're going out of way to make it hard. It must've happened to you at some point with these games, that you got a cool weapon that dealt a lot of damage which you greatly enjoyed until you realized it made the game trivial so you switched back to something less powerful.

Breakable walls, with a few exceptions, are a pretty shitty mechanic because there are much better way to implement secrets but as a whole I agree that in the exploration it’s one of the weakest metroidvanias.

If it wasn’t for the fact Shanoa is built for mating, it could easily have been one of the worst castlevanias.

IDK man, but ooe was cool. Shame for the hallway maps and lack of weapons and combat styles.
