What is that thing at 20:16 , and where can I find it? Also, is that TOTK or BOTW?

Totk link is insanely powerful. He took down ganon amped by the secret stone while 7 sages couldn’t do it while they each had a secret stone. Link only had 2 royal spears fused together (that’s canon).

Do not look away! You witness a king mid Suavamente

I can understand why many see Majora as a demon. And even though the manga called Majora a dragonic creature isn’t canon I understand that too. But I always saw Majora as an evil god created from the wickedness accumulated from the use of it’s powers. And if the Mask is only a tool to massive the inner darkness if the user into power it could be that darkness joined with the mask and is sentient because of the emotions within it. But the reason I see Majora as a god and not demon is because of his scale of power. It created the realm of Termina just from the skull kids memories and wished. Only gods in Zelda have been seen to have the power to “create” worlds. The Golden Goddeses and the Wind Fish. Even Ganondorf could only twist and corrupt Hyrule he couldn’t erase it and make a new one.

I hate how Nintendo just completely removed all personality, like fr? I totally would have wanted to see some of these diary entries?

The developers were too lazy to write one 😂 spend $70 again in five years.

While I understood and loved the story of botw in English, I get so sour knowing that the translations could’ve been so much more. Darn localization😢

Yes I think there was deeper thing with moon children majora and fierce diety. So there are holes in Zelda where we could get lots more lore. Let's talk about how demons are a thing but you don't see much of em depending on game. This is not just Japanese influence as every culture has their demons. However Majora's mask pulls from diff cultures I want to say maybe mostly Japanese so yea the oni tag thing is a big deal and yes what do demons do after demise is gone? We see majora as a villain but fierce diety is in no way just pure good. Then you got the moon children possible inter loper thing. Maybe I've played too much FF too many other vid games, too much mythology and while I should not inject all that into Zelda what if, what if Zelda was going for some of it this time. What if it's possible certain beings in Zelda are so much an archetype they really can't understand certain stuff. I mean this in regards to moon children. The thing I'm getting at is like you all say so much is gone in diff translations well I'm not so sure it is. Cuz when I first played I was like there is more to tag thing, you do got full psychology thing and fact was Majora's mask not first game since a certain lore order to have a demon main boss that was independent of Gannon. Plus lots of symbolism in masks. Anyway short version is I think fierce diety was only good because of link

From what I've heard in other videos, Zelda saying Ganon gave up on reincarnation was a translation error and is basically the opposite of what she actually says.

I think it would be really cool if Skyward Sword is set at the very end of the timeline and that Demise is actually the final embodiment of power achieved by Ganondorf. And in Tears of the Kingdom, Ganondorf stole the Secret Stone of _Time_ and corrupted it. Yet, despite becoming the "Secret Stone of Darkness" because of him, it didn't actually change its color, glow, and appearance other than getting bigger. Darkness is not an element in The Legend of Zelda's setting. It's unnatural and a violation of the natural order. So, a Secret Stone logically cannot change to that attribute. So, perhaps that is why it's appearance did not change: maybe it is _still_ the Secret Stone of Time and it grew because he added Darkness into it. He also takes on a Demise-like appearance (including the scales) when using it. This would fit well as the first step to the thing about Demise having conquered time.

who dafuq translated the English version?👀

Wow he even predicted what ended up happening in tears of the kingdom haha I know this is super late and I just watched this but it’s crazy how Japanese version gives an in depth story compared to the English version… I’m curious now if they did the same thing with botw and totk?

Its almost like the translation of both BoTW and ToTK are abridged versions, so weird.

I wonder, is Zelda part of this cycle, this curse? Or does "blood of the goddess _and_ spirit of the hero" only apply to Link? Or rather, specifically, the descendants of him and Zelda who have the "spirit of the hero" as they'd obviously have the blood of the goddess by default.

Some fans (fanboys, really) and Nintendo claim that Link is not reincarnated. I think expecting us to believe all this over and over is just coincidence is asking waaaay too much. It's like if Rowling came out and said Harry is blonde. Nope, pretty sure he's not. Nintendo, basically: "They're not reincarnations, they're just the same person...in spirit!" Sooo...reincarnation.

If mipha was real I don't know how she'd feel

Mipha's theme is my 2nd or 3rd favorite music in botw. Number 1 for me is "Riding". " Riding" has also helped me form a bond with my in-game horses.

Ganondorf before obtaining the secret stone was pretty much a mortal man, powerful and magical but still mortal. After obtaining the secret stone he's true power was released. He pretty much became the original demon king Demise, hence his ridiculous power.

Demon King Ganondorf from TotK literally looks like Demise. It was ALMOST a true resurrection of Demise.

Maybe it would be a good idea to have the option to switch from second and first person, for the people who want Link to have a character, and for the people that want to keep Link as an player self-insert (and there is nothing wrong with that.)

Sooo…. Onis are either assholes or racism victims

Link’s heart was reserved only for Zelda.

Should I married Revali? Okay? Yes or no?

Is this another video misrepresenting the Japanese text, like you did with Revali? I just had this pop up in my recommendations, but everyone should be very wary to not take what you say as the absolute truth, because from what I've seen your knowledge of Japanese doesn't make you a good source for these types of videos.

Is it just me or Moshus reminds me of Morshu from the CDI games

They really robbed our linky boy of his personality this is why i want to learn Japanese

Just a friendly reminder that the original Link was around ten years old. No wonder he's so enthusiastic, he's still a kid.

Absolutely amazing work, deserves an absurd amount of more views, a true explanation and definitive Zelda theory that is on par with or surpasses those theories of the largest Zelda youtubers. It's as if Ganondorf is this "new author" of pure destruction, endless chaos and true darkness - more than Demise it seems. Perhaps Ganondorf is this new Demise, or at least this continuity is separate from previous Zelda lore. It's so satisfying to finally understand how TOTK enhances the Zelda lore and universe of the series. Truly outstanding and remarkable work!

I beg you, please make one on why link never has a shield in the memories/cutscenes

It's crazy how many ways you can translate 'Lost Woods' in Japanese!

Shoot!! That explains the reincarnation so well. It makes way more sense now.

But to be honest, Link is the one who is making his own legend.

Too me, Link loves Mifa like a sister. He doesn't see her in a romantic way. Link is strongly attracted to Zelda, which makes sense attraction would form from his job as protector and seeing all her most vulnerable moments.

I'll be honest, I can't really see the difference in the diary. I get the same meaning from both. However, a lot of his cutscene writing, I will concede, is very different.

Japanese: super excited! English: meh

So basically English just makes him a jackass

I continue to be more and more convinced that the past sections of TotK are set before OoT. The Ganondorf there is the original Ganondorf, but once he is sealed his hatred allows him to be reincarnated again in OoT. As he continues to be reincarnated over and over again he becomes less and less human and more bestial until he becomes the form of Calamity Ganon. He can take physical form, but lacks his mind and intelligence. That form eventually becomes Dark Beast Ganon and it is destroyed meaning Calamity Ganon is now no more. With the original Ganondorf's death in TotK, the cycle is effectively broken. Demise's hatred and curse still ensures there will always be evil in the world, but Ganondorf is no longer bound to that curse.

Nintendo didn't supress it, localizers did. You don't hate localizers enough, you think you do, but you don't.
