#Zelda #Nintendo #AgeofCalamity - Hry
"Only Sidon, Riju, Teba and Yunobo will remember." You're forgetting the most important character in all of Zelda history: Patricia the Sand Seal
It's quite fuuny watching the seal slam the blight boss that people always said it's the hardest boss in BOTW.
*the -BEST- sand seal
UAHUAHUHAUAHUAH you had me laughing hard here bro
Yeah🤣
Ahem... The Egg?
**Slaps roof of Zelda series** This bad boy can fit so many timelines in it
This makes five doesn't it? Dear god. Luckily the convergence means we're back to two, but still.
@@Error403HRD kinda wish this game exists in one of the timelines not the timelines merge together, it would make the franchise even more complex
@@syailenthahir3289 That would be bad for business. That means less flexability for zelda games. If it werent for an orcarina of time split there would be no windwaker.
@@kassaken6521 what I meant is, I wish Age of Calamity exists in one of the three timelines, I didn’t mean the whole series should be in one timeline
@@Error403HRD Nintendo has never stated that the convergence theory is canon, and people should really stop acting like it is.
How I think the 4 time travelers reacted after being sent back to their original timeline:
Sidon: Melancholy. Happy to get to see his sister one last time, but sad that he couldn’t save his Mipha.
Riju and Yunobo: Star struck that they got to meet their heroes.
Teba: Never meet your heroes.
I love the fact that the developers didn’t shy away from letting Teba find out what a complete A HOLE Revali really was 😂
@@jamesredline1352 "I didn't think the Champion would be so..."
Patricia: Warf! Warf!
Though even before the DLC, Teba did acknowledge that, arrogant that he was, Revali was nonetheless the ace he was cracked up to be (as shown by his line, "There he is, the champion of the Rito." in the second Medoh mission's cutscene).
Teba got to see both the good and the bad.
Though do meet your heroes if you can get them to help wrangle your also time traveling kid
"This creates a separate time-line."
Legend of Zelda fans: As if we needed MORE!
to be fair they did say Breath of the Wild is thousands of year ahead of the timeline, and a sort of reboot.
"Eiji Aonuma, your dev team and Koei Tecmo's were so preoccupied with whether or not they could make another timeline, you didn't stop to think about if they should."
@@matthewmuir8884 I wouldnt mind if from Breath of the wild a bunch of timelines sproud.
So long as it gives them freedom to do way crazier stuff like shuffling Trifoce owners, Link of different species, Linkle, etc.
Of course while keeping a main timeline where those others come from and we follow through.
@@krausercruz2780 Honestly, I'd rather not repeat what happened with Ocarina of Time. I think Breath of the Wild had the right idea with being deliberately vague about where in the timeline it is. Nintendo is not the best at maintaining a strong continuity, so I think the best option for them is to keep things fairly loose so they aren't restricted.
We just fixed that!
Everyone: "Age of Calamity will be so dark!"
Egg: *It's rewind time*
It still was dark, but it got better.
In reality, Breath of the Wild was the darker story all along.
Well seeing Sidon going back to his timeline was really sad
This made me fall out off my bed XD
Yeah, though it's not their fault that they were wrong; Nintendo's marketing really should've been a lot more honest about what Age of Calamity was going to be. I see a lot of comments from people saying, "Wasn't this game supposed to be a prequel? I feel lied to" and it makes me frustrated with Nintendo, because those commenters _were_ lied to.
We talk about how strong this Link is but Zelda made a time machine when she was a child
Then daddy Rhoam took it away like a dummy.
She definitely earned her side of the triforce.
I mean she holds the trifore of wisdom for a reason
Best Zelda of all time. None of the others got anything on BOTW/AOC Zelda.
ZeldaTechTips please
Astor: shocked to realize he is being a pawn to ganon before he dies
Ghirahim, Yuga, Vaati, and Zant: first time?
@@user-ol7bt4wp1j well yes and no. he knew he would be used for demise and knows his placement and wasnt mad when demise sacrificed him
Yuga was the one in control the entire time, though
Who the f is yuga?

The antagonist from A Link between worlds
No Vaati not..
I want to emphasize again that the full game released two days before this video was published. Within about 48 hours, he played through the entire story, wrote a script, recorded footage and voiceover, and edited this video. This is passion to the point it seems like madness.
He probably got early access
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
That's insane. I've just finished the game with over 100 hours easily. Granted, I went slower than a glacier, but it took a lot of work!
He was probably taking notes during his playthrough
Yes but you now zeltik is like this
“We did it guys we stopped the great calamity and saved everyone!!”
Sooga: remains dead in both timelines
He seems alive and well during the true ending credits
@@jakubopyrcha6067 Yeah, but he deserved more screen time near the end
Why did I read this in Kamala Harris’s voice LMAO
“We did it joe you’re going to be the next potus”
R.I.P. sooga
rip sooga
Sidon probably returned to his timeline thinking his sister was alive just to just be completely disappointed. Now that’s the real tragedy.
I think he knew, judging on what he said.
if they changed the past then she would be alive when he returned to his own time
@@midnightpluto No, they returned to their original timelines where the Champions were still deceased
@@midnightpluto that’s not how Zelda timelines work. Both timelines continue to exist. This is seen in OoT.
@@midnightpluto they didn't change the past. They made a knew timeline. Think future trunks, same scenario
Terrako, even broken, singing the Zelda's lullaby was heartbreaking... I wanted to cry
Wanted to? I was bawling
In a way, I think Terrako was the real hero. Who knew a tiny robot can be so brave?
@@lightsideofsin8969 same here
I legit had to step away because i got so attached to Terreko
@@lightsideofsin8969 Same, didn't know I could have that much connection to a video-game character that doesn't say a word.
I wanted to kick it
Sidon, Yunobo, Riji, Patricia, and Teba when they went back to their present:
Oh yeah right, this timeline
😭😭😭
Bro
Yep you cant avoid the sadness
The sad one
Sidon and yunobo lost very close family members so that's kinda sad
Game: came out Friday

Best comment
I just beat the final stage like 20 minutes ago
I thought that kind of comment format was used to redicule or imply sarcasm
I finished it within like the first 36 hrs of it being out
_All dormant Shrine Monks_ "Hey, the Egg changed the timeline we're in! Now what are we going to do?"
_Monk Maz Koshia:_ "Go back to sleep for another ten thousand years, until the Pig returns, I suppose. He will at some point."
"Don't worry, they're gonna gonna find raisin Ganon soon my compatriots, surely we will get to die soon..."
Meanwhile, Maz Koshia goes to join the fray as a secret character unlock.
dang i feel bad for the monks they have to wait for another pig
The monks see the future, and unfortunately didn't predict the egg.
Well theoretically the events of BoTW2 would play out in the alt timeline in some form like the original calamity did in this one. So could see the shrines/monks play a role if they decide to expand on this alternate timeline. Maybe the seal thing breaks before Zelda/Link get there and the events there play out differently?
Actually now that I think about it, BoTW2's events in this alternate timeline would take place after Link and Zelda get old and maybe died so their descendants would have to deal with it. This would certainly change things! Though it's unclear how the sealing of Calamity Ganon by Zelda in the original timeline might have impacted when that zombified Gannondorf would have broken free. It might have been something destined to happen at that point in time or was spurred on by Calamity Ganon's defeat. It might have also been solely triggered by Zelda and Link's presence in the chamber and might not have happened otherwise. Can't even work out the possible details till BoTW2 comes out and we find out what happens I guess. :P
This is one of the few Zelda games that made justice to Zelda herself. Seeing her going from insecure and powerless, to commanding the army of the united people of Hyrule, and fighting Ganon head-on is one of the most uplifting things I've seen in fictional media.
To be fair, she was fighting Ganon alone for a hundred years in BotW but yeah that too
ngl she’s pretty goated in most of the games, she’s usually lying dormant and sealing something
Zelda has never really been weak? Many in Ocarina or earlier games but for the most part she has to suppress or hold Gabon’s immense power otherwise he can destroy the world. And she has to do it waiting for Link to awaken his power. It’s just we play as link slowly progressing but Zelda is already holding back Ganon for the most part. That’s why it’s. Trio not a Duo with a random person saving her. It’s not like she’s not doing anything. Without her, Ganon would literally be able to do what he wants
Right!? I wish there was a new game where we can play as her instead of Linky
Imagine in botw 2 Zelda and link go to zora’s domain and Sidon just teleported back from the alternate timeline and talks crazy about his sister and a giant Ganon but everybody shrugs it off as a bad dream but the player knows it’s not
you never know. that could infact might happen. only time will tell....
I think it's likely we'll get some small references to this game in BotW 2. For example you might have some dialogue with Riju where she talks about how she had a dream where she fought alongside Lady Urbosa and the rest of the champions to help defeat the Calamity.
I definitely think they'll reference Age of calamity's timeline as a dream.
@@drdewott9154 They were there for a few days, I doubt they would see it as a simple dream despite literally being there and experiencing everything.
Or link believes him
But you forgot the most obvious reason they won: you were able to play as Hestu
EVERYONE RIOT HESTU WASN'T IN THE ENDING
@@therichman3685 umm did you play the game he was in the last mission
@@dwade2038 the ending not the last level
@@therichman3685 Oh mb well then he probably returned to his home korrok forest which was all he wanted when we first met him in the story that’s why he’s not there.
So we arent gonna talk about the great fairies?
It’s kinda sad to know that Sidon knowing he saved his sister only to come back to back to a world where his sister is still gone
He got to see her one last time and in my view thats a win
Mm a think that not because if they save the champions from the demoniacal beast aka blights the future has been changed
That means linpha is real XD
dont put that into my head, now im just sad
@@Sussybaka393 aoc takes place in a while other universe to the one botw takes place in..
The best part of Age of Calamity was Link eating the rocks
Absolute legend
Agreed
This is THE thing that marked me in this game; Link eats rocks
Idk if u guys know this but u can cook a meal that is just made of flint and make link eat it in the main game. Idk if the recipe was flint but u can check by talking with an npc in a garbage dump thats also a location of a shrine.
And he STILL won’t eat a frog
@@knightmare6229 its any hard ingredients that aren't meant for cooking like guardian parts or crystals
I'm actually glad it turned out to be a split-timeline deal. This way we get a great Warriors game with a cool, triumphant story and the original tragic timeline of BOTW isn't ruined.
yeah, i don't see how you would even continue playing or have any fun in the game if you just lost
it would just be century long sleep simulator
I won’t forget the greatest sacrifice, our boy Sooga, who sacrificed himself for our top banana, Master Kohga.
FOR MASTER KOHGA!
He does appear in the secret credits with Kohga after you fix Terrako, so it's possible that he wasn't killed, but instead critically wounded... Until Kohga and the remaining Yiga joined Zelda, and likely asked Mipha to heal the beloved Second Banana.
@@meleefox3218 idk that would be cool though, yet again that’s just a bunch of credits art. Plus the other hyrule warriors isn’t a legit storyline so idk maybe they’ll make this hyrule warriors an involved story with botw2
Yeah, that's just me trying to piece together what little information there is on Big Boy's fate. I'm hoping we get more information on that in one of the DLC's for Age of Calamity.
@@meleefox3218 yeah that would be sick since this game was awesome
If you think about it, it's kinda tragic.
This Mipha gets to live and be with her brother as he grows up.
Meanwhile, BotW Sidon gets to go back to his timeline where she's dead.
At least he got closure with his sister
His face when Mipha said "I'm sure we'll meet again". He knew they wouldn't.
Shows you how nonesense time travel is in stories. Completely ruins them.
@@BloodSinVIII yep. I really hate time travel
Aren't they all in spirit form semi-bo7nd to the beasts? Also their kin are the NEW champions allowing them to pilot them? They could all meet in their original timeline. So goron kid can meet his dad, fish boy meets sister, Gerudo girl meets mama, and Birdo man meets... other birdo man? Dunno if those two are related
18:57 "making the harbinger the 5th blight ganon"
You forgot about the actual 5th blight, the most powerful blight of all: Flowerblight ganon
XD
-.-
IKR
Yep. I burnt her flowers once
She does not exist in this timeline
5:42 "Something as small as the flap of a butterfly's wings" that is also a bomb that can remove Calamity Ganon's invincibility.
It's a time traveling sentient robot that is also a divine bomb so an "Anime mc" is a better title
Ganon's body under Hyrule Castle in main timeline
"Welp they beat the calamity guess I'll wait here"
Ganon's body under Hyrule Castle in AoC timeline
"Welp they beat the calamity guess I'll wait here"
I was watching a streamer that wants a AoC sequel within BOTW2 story, so a quadriple split
@@G0nZ4Low omg, that's disgusting 😂
I think that AoC will get a DLC after Botw 2 comes out that cover how the hero's in AoC handled Ganon's true form
@@G0nZ4Low Within? How that would work?
I would love to see AoC2, preferably as warriors game as well, but we've had enough timeline splits to make separate timelines tangle with each other on the constant basis
Comedy gold
24:57: "Four travellers from the future.."
Patricia: Am I a joke to you?
Not gonna lie, when Patricia slammed herself into Thunderblight Ganon, I laughed super hard. It looked so silly and stupid to me.
Certain People On The Internet: No You Can't Just Make A Sand Seal A Fighter!
Age Of Calamity: Ha Ha Sand Seal Go SLAM!
How dare he forget the BEST sand seal
@@SpicyNetherrack Patricia used Body Slam.
@@johncunanan65 it’s super effective
Beautiful storytelling, the line “His skills were inhuman, moving with incredible speed and swinging the master sword with perfect accuracy” was almost poetic in a way
Yep, that was a Link who still remembered his training and techniques.
Rest in piece sooga even though you were fricking hard to beat you were a good character and a loyal second hand man. Kohga will remember you
he comes back as a playable character in the DLC
Rip sooga the ultimate yiga chad.
Do you got the joke, 'cause giga and yiga

Slurrppppppppppppp
The time line has so many branches the deku tree is getting jealous.
Touchè
Thanks for the laugh😂😂
It has 2
Good one
It’s literally only two but all right
Moral of the Story: Don't worry about dying because a robot egg will send your descendants to the past creating a world where you never died
The moral of the story is that: Rhoam was wrong.
In terms of cinematic parallels, I think my favourite part of aoc was the evolution of people deflecting stuff from Zelda. Each time she's helpless and lost as people throw themselves in front of her to keep her safe, the camera pan is almost the exact same each time, even as she pressures Ganon for the first time she's pushed back and terrako throws itself in the way to protect her once more. Then, the final sealing cutscene, when Ganon puts all his energy into one final attack. The camera zooms in, but her eyes don't widen, they narrow. The world doesn't slow. She doesn't flinch.
And Ganon shatters like glass against her.
Top Zelda moment of EVERY game.
I love the absurdly casual mention of the blood moon.
That shit almost broke me, man.
Same
On god the whole game i completely forgot about it, i was out loud saying "oh fuck me" when the cutscene played

Dude my final battle against Ganon was crazy it came down to the last 1/4 of a heart on all characters, I couldn’t have asked for a more epic ending than that.
I’m literally sitting here watching this getting all emotional about a fucking robot. Terrako 😭😭
I'm getting emotional too; I want to grab an ancient bladesaw and tell Terrako, "This is for taking my tragic prequel from me! (Starts cutting) You tin Humpty Dumpty!"
I'd feel guilty afterwards though; it's not the egg's fault that Nintendo and Koei Tecmo falsely-advertised this game.
(when he died)
okay, win first, fix him later
(when he dies again)
HAHAHAHAHA! WHAT WAS THAT? XD THEY JUST BROUGHT HIM BACK ONLY FOR HIM TO DIE AGAIN IMMEDIATELY? WHAT'S THE POINT?!
Bruh Terreko singing Zeldas Lullaby to comfort her legit brang tears and i rarely ever cry at a game
The fact he also sang it while he was broken in the final battle had me bawling like a baby
And this video made me cry to the point i had to step back and cry even more because of the fact Zeltik played the themed over the true ending where he was repaired
Nintendo: Did a time split in Ocarina of time, creating an unnecessarily convoluted story
Nintendo: Alright, we're done, we're merging the timelines in BoTW
Nintendo, 3 seconds later: I'll fuckin do it again
@@AlguienTeLlamoBuho Did Nintendo ever confirm this game is canon? And even if its canon, as long as they dont bring any more games out that play in that new Timline it wont be a problem.
@@brydonw8271 I am pretty sure the leviathan skeleton quest is the answer to this question.
Or to put it in other words, all timelines will end up with the events of breath of the wild.
I believe that the intended interpretation of Aonuma's the response was:
"Breath of the Wild is so far into the future that you can't say what's really happened and what's just a myth."
Botw > one timeline of events.
AoC > second timeline of events.
That's two out of 3 timelines. Like in SS and Oot we have been able travel between two eras--two of the timelines. The third doesn't seem so simple to get to - in fact "that timeline" is likely dark world, lorule, termina, twilight realm and they have always required different methods to get there - cracks in the wall and portals.
In fact hyrule in twilight princess was starting to become like said places though - bottomless chasms and huge of swaths of land, simply not there. Din created the earth and with ganondorf gone, taking the triforce piece of power with him, hyrule is slowly falling apart like lorule and the twilight.
To be fair, this time they can control the branches individually now so it’s not as chaotic
Hold that thought, I'll be back after I finish the game
Same
Same
Bro sameeeee
Also in what part you at??
@@yabrielrivera1162 im at the master sword part
While I would have liked a tragic literal Prequel, I actually really liked the Story AoC chose to tell. I liked that we now have a new timeline split, I liked how they the handled the characters and I didn't mind the ending. My heart was aching everytime Mipha and future Sidon interacted and I liked how they gave the Yiga Clan a redemption in this timeline.
I just wish Nintendo hadn't advertised it as a direct Prequel to BotW, it was so misleading and is a big reason why several people are upset with this Game
This game is incredibly emotional. I cried twice throughout the game when I played it. To put that into perspective, I have been told multiple times that I rarely show any negative emotions, not to mention cry. This was a sad, but amazing game
I mean Terrako died twice of actual death in a game that pulled all tricks to keep everyone alive while building him as the loz r2d2.
so of course anyone would cry twice... or once assuming they haven't finished by the second death.
This game just gave me extra Sidon angst. 😭😭😭 Sending him back to where his sister is dead and his father and all Zoras are still mourning.
At least he probably came from when Link defeated CG (calamity Gannon) so he knows she’s free
He's likely happy in a way. He saved her himself, and he has the memory that in some timeline he and his sister get to have a happy life.
I have a question. How old are these people in Zelda? The older Sidon came to the past from BOTW right? And botw is 100 years later. And impa is young 100 years before, but she is still alive, old, but alive in botw. So how old are these people?
@@treheard3032 Well, you can think of Hylians as humans, having similar lifespans, but when it comes to all the other races (Gerudo, Goron, Zora, and even Sheika), they can all live for way longer than them. I think the Sheika lived longer because of their dealings with magic, from what I remember was implied in previous games of the franchise.
So it's actually normal for them all to still be alive.
For example, Finley in Zora's Domain looks like a child, but she says she's 30, yet her mental and physical development to that point is that of a teenager's.
They all just age differently.
And, well, Gorons *are* rocks. 😅
@@Ace_Maus "and, well, Gorons *are* rocks"
They sure are! Not only can we not tell their age, but the Gerudo don't even bother to check their gender because of how hard it is to tell!
*Nintendo making Breath of the Wild:* "Alright everybody, I finally figured out a way to combine all the separate timelines into one!"
*Terrako:* "Hold my ancient screw."
what is a terako all my homies call it webito " ( in spanish all the people i heard talking about this game don.t calle it terako they call it"webito" cause huevito means little egg and i think thats cool )
Hyrule Warriors: "Hold my beer"
ikr?! I was hoping there would be a chance for the series to be in one timeline again. then again, having multiple timelines adds for more sequels
@@andresraulmalpartida buebito
At least this timeline split is less convoluted. That's nice.
Brings me tears of joy that the future champions are able to save the past ones :”) at least in the different timeline the past champions don’t die a lonely battle
You know how weird link must feel killing a bokoblin after having such a dramatic battle
Yea
I also like how when link finds tarraco the butterflies not only represent the butterfly effect, but those butterflies are actually goddess butterflies. Butterflies that were first named in Skyward Sword (I Think)
Why no one talk about hyrule warriors
i started playing ss reecently and watched this video and thought the same!
Good thinking! The butterfly effect is so interesting. Even the smallest thing can everything.
I’ll try to not think about why a 6 year old Zelda created an egg filled with sheikah weapons
And had the ability to time travel. Must have been one hell of a screw.
@@lucanuspeeler1469 A.I. and/or power storage screw, explains how they remembered everything when they got rebuilt in the secret ending, and why it was the only thing keeping the future champions in that timeline after it's body was destroyed.
It could also explain how Terrako didn't turn on for Zelda as a child, until the screw was put in.
don’t forget that it can take a heck of a alot of a beating
It's offensive that the post game load screen says : Terriko created a split world (timeline). Nintendo you didn't have to do this but you torture us anyway.
@@lucanuspeeler1469 damn right. MCGUFFEN screwed.
The execution of the story was brilliant. It stands firm on its own, but introduced a lot of new enemies that will be implemented in BOTW2. This is what happens when you work as closely together as the two companies did here. A very fun game to play indeed!
If only all that collaboration had gone toward an actual prequel with an interesting narrative, rather than a falsely-advertised game with a cliché plot.
Also, "It stands firm on its own" I don't see how this game's story can possibly stand up for anyone who has no knowledge of the backstory in BOTW.
🤓
I just realised that age of calamity still has some form of cannon malice seen in the botw2 trailer. This means that there is a real chance age of calamity could get a sequel.

@@jimskywaker4345 makes sense
@@kevinhyrulegamer5644 We don't really know. I still don't understand how a little girl can create a time machine. I was kinda hoping the expansion pass would elaborate, but I don't think we'll ever get an answer.
I’m not necessarily mad about the story in this game, it’s super cool, but I can’t be the only one who feels a little played. I mean the entire selling point was that it was a prequel to breath of the wild but it’s literally the opposite, a timeline where breath of the wild never happened. But I still really love this game and all ready played the crap out of it.
Ya I get that, but I actually don't think they ever marketed it as prequel. They only officially said it's "set 100 years prior to the events of BOTW", which is technically true. But yea misleading on purpose
I've been having the same conflict. My only complaint about the story is that BotW exists. I get the timeline splits, but I was really excited about the prequel idea. I kept thinking, even through chapter 7, that SOMEHOW things were going to tie into the destruction of the kingdom.
Yeah we were entirely misled. I feel the stakes were not high here as I didn't really know or care about this universe
It's an indirect prequel. It's actually what happened 100 yrs ago. The difference maker was that egg.
Maybe they were originally planning on it being a true prequel but then someone somewhere thought you know, maybe players would be unhappy with a game that they are destined to lose. Like who would want to play a game where you lose the battle? No matter how hard you try, you’re gonna fail. Gamers are built with a drive to win. It wouldn’t of been satisfying to play, despite being so in a storytelling sense. At the end of the day these games are created to make money so the creators can put food on the tables they need to go with the most marketable option. Anyway, a slight disappointment to the Zelda community but the most logical choice for the business boys. (I hope this makes sense, it’s 2am)
To be honest, instead of seeing alternate versions of the battles, i would have far more liked to see and play the original ones. Yes, it would have been a dark and depressing game, but really playing out the events before breath of the wild would have been amazing. Despereate battels for retreat, hopes being shattered over and over all for the one goal to buy one century of time for link and zelda to return and defeat ganon. Up until the last mission I was desperately hoping for a twist. I wanted a breath of the wild prequel, no fanfiction. But, after all, it was an enjoyable game (besides this absolute monster of a side mission, where you have to fight 3 lynels inside one of the shrine-arenas. I died so many times.)
I believe you can do this in the DLC where you play as Link BUT only carry what we can assume to be the champions' equipment against the blights
Agreed. I wanted to see a world not yet destroyed. I wanted to see things that Zelda didn't see and thus weren't in her memories. This makes me feel like botw was for nothing.
That mission with the 3 Lynels in 12 minutes was the actual worst
It would've been cool if the Time traveling thing was an unlockable arc like in P5R with the 3rd Semester
It would have been cool to see just how the fall of Hyrule played out. We see bits and pieces of it in BotW, but I would have loved a chance to see the details of it.
What did people do to try and hold back the Calamity, and how did they fail?
At what point did Link and Zelda know that the champions were lost? What did the champions think in their final moments?
Why had Link and Zelda been fleeing towards Hateno? Were they planning to meet up at the tech lab and try to regroup, or were they just going to head further south and try to get a boat to flee Hyrule entirely? Did they even have a plan or were they just running, too busy with surviving the immediate threat to think about what was going to happen next?
All really interesting questions that Age of Calamity just doesn't answer.
I love Zelda in this game. BotW's Zelda always felt off. AoC Zelda feels like she grows and actually comes into her role, and I love her in this game and her relationship with Link. She's also a delight to fight as.
Dead comment but being 116 years old and spending over 90% of your life span sharing a sac with hatred and malice incarnate would make anyone at least a bit "off." Honestly, just be happy she didn't lose the plot in there.
I mean, the whole world turned to ruin on her 17th birthday and she spent her entire life feeling like a failure that she couldn’t awaken her powers and save Hyrule. I think it makes sense for her to feel “off”
Can't wait for the arbitrary "Link dies" 3rd timeline
If they split the Timline again I think the Main Timline would be the Fallen Timline. I mean Hyrule fell after all.
@@neptuneplaneptune3367 this will be the 2nd time they split the timelines. Which is too much already.
I mean Link technically died in BotW's timeline, not quite, but he still got "resurrected".
No no, see, that happened cause Link was the time traveller. This time, it’s the Egg Dies 3rd timeline
@Always Causality can't wait for another 25 years till we get another book that also retcon the whole timeline again making things even worst.
The princess's power:draining
Terrako: LETS DO THIS. LEEROYYYYYY JENKINSSSSSZ
egg is the true hero of hyrule in this timeline, sure link and co helped seal the calamity but if not for the assistance of *E G G* we wouldnt even be able to harm them
YES! FUCKING YES!!!!!!!! XD
dammit leroy...
At least he ain’t chicken
Malice: *you wanna go*
This is incredible! Thank you for taking the time to make and explain all of the little details!
Such a fan of how you meticulously and joyfully craft this content. An inspiration!
Terrako is basically the main character of this game XD
I see this scaley everywhere’s
Yes, Terrako is now in a list of best robot bois.
I took the cookbook to a whole new level you guys need to see it
I dont see the problem with this
Tbh I’d argue this is Zelda’s game
“Link arrived on time to save each Champion”- oh, I don’t think so, I played as Hestu
hestu is op and adorable
Maraca Broccoli is the true hero.
I read the "oh", I dont think so" in Obi-wan's voice
I found it odd that he said Link was the one to do it, given the cutscenes look to be specifically designed not to reveal which party character came to the champion's aid.
@@Dr.Pootis It actually is just who ever the player is controlling. The other characters don't call you by name and after the cutscene you'll be controlling who ever you picked for the level. For most people it was probably Link though.
Ive been waiting so long to watch this. I finally beat the game. Haha great great video. Thanks so much for this. This is so much better than just putting all the cut scenes together.
You are an incredible story teller! Time travel stories can be so confusing for me and this video made everything clear for me! Thank you!
I really liked how the story focused on Zelda and her actually taking command as a royal, it is something we never seen before and was really cool to see.
... yeah my look on Zelda near the end of the game was more like... GODDAMMITZELDASHUTUPYOURLITERALLYTHEMOSTANNOYINGCHARACTERINTHISGAMEJUSTLETMEHAVEATGANNONANDSTOPKILLSTEALINGTHEFINALBOSS!!!
I Loved seeing that my whole thing is the story is changed now and i'm feeling breath of the wild 2 may be a sequel to this game not the first breath of the wild which makes me go why does the first game exists
Ehhh Twilight Princess Zelda was already shown leading Hyrule in battle.
@@randomdude2026 And then immediately gave up, because she's a quitter without Link. _Truly a born leader that Zelda was._
@@byronlyons3548 I dont think that there was anything that she could have done. She saved her people by surrendering, otherwise Zant would have killed everybody lol.
"And a small guaridan travels back in time."
Me: Oh No.... ARE WE GOING FOR ANOTEHR SPLIT TIMELINE!!?!?! *Cries in Zelda Lore Hell*
I think that if they plan it out right it can work, like the AOC timeline is for all of the spin-offs while the BOTW timeline is for the main games.
i dont even know whats up with all this xDD
Don't worry. Hyrule Warriors has been banished to non-canon land.
@@dracorex426 fool. Thats not how it works. Its still an alternate timeline in which it is canon, its just not to botw. They change their timeline so often that statement honestly means nothing. So still canon just an AT
Fantastic video bro! Makes me wann play BOTH of these now. Keep up the great work
I audibly said “Ah god dammit” when I figured out that this was a time travel adventure. I hoped that we finally had a connected timeline thanks to Hyrule Warriors🤣
After the final battle in the Astral Observatory I was expecting Daruk to say "Well how are we going to get out of this place?" And then everyone looks at Revali.
Revali looks at Rhoam and Daruk and immediately breaks out into a cold sweat

i said that out loud during the cutscene lmao. totally ruined the moment
"Are you ready to know ...what happened 100 years ago?"
Me: no because now apparently it never happened.
It still happened. It still had to have happened for the events of this game to have happened, and it still happened within the continuity of the original game and probably its sequel. It just didn't happen within the continuity in which most of this game is set, due to outside influence from that original continuity.
@@kevinr.9733 my head hurts
E-FUCKING-XACTLY
y'all gotta stop using the argument that "but we know what happened❤" or things like this. what we actually mean by "no apparently it never happened" is that nintendo sold this game as "look, this is the real timeline before the botw events, you'll see what Happened" when it's not that at all. you can't say "this is what happened" and then be like "look its not canon and full of time travel" it makes no sense... @chaka chaka i get u 😐✌
Goddamn time travel, you’re such a headache... but you are a necessary headache to create more stories... if only that would create more talented writers and not greedy dead house beaters.
But I like Age of Calamity, it’s fine tho now I wanna play BOTW.
When Zelda saved Link I thought “Zelda, you stole my kills”
I'm imagining that in true HISHE dubs fashion.
Astor: hey I'm back, now prepare to face all of the bosses again
Link: oh finally an interesting boss battle
Zelda: MARY SUE MODE GO!
(uses light blast)
Astor: AHH MY EYES!
Blights: Sleepy time
Link: okay I'm just gonna look away and let the blights run away instead of just killing them
Zelda: OH MY GOD, I NOW KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE POWERS I COULDN'T USE 30 SECONDS AGO!
Fantastic video. Please continue to create amazing content! I truly appreciate your work.
Can you imagine how heartbreaking it must be for Sidon to return to his own timeline, where his sister is still dead? Hope they at least reference it in the Sequel because there is some opportunity for great character development there
To be honest, they shouldn't have been returned, Terrako was kinda scrap metal, not like he can send them back. Unless... the other Terrako that must exist in a 3rd timeline, brought them back. Or maybe they just got Back to the Futured and don't exist anymore aside from Sidon because he was already born, you know take your pick.
@@TheJadeFist no im pretty sure they all will still exsist. Dont forget yunoba is related to daruk.
Technically, this is inaccurate. If they were brought back from the original timeline, they'd then be sent to the future in the AOC timeline, since there isn't any canonical way to jump in between timelines in Zelda, just creating them. So theoretically, they would have to adapt to their new future where Hyrule is at peace, but most of the champions would probably still be alive. Dunno if that made sense or not.
Well, actually it might start a full fledged paradox since two Sidons would exist simultaneously, but at the same time no because adult Sidon belongs to another timeline and can't be influenced by the young AOC Sidon.
@@maybezero2783 lowkey i think they took a similar approach to Endgame, with the “champions” from the future being like the infinity stones, and Terrako sending them back was like Captain America going back in time to put them back in their respective timelines. is it a super clean explanation? not really. but i think it serves its purpose
Age of Calamity Link is an entirely different breed. He's an absolute madlad
Indeed
The Parry God. This is what happens when Link puts the shield in his dominate hand.
@@TheJadeFist Imagine if he used his sword with that same hand. Or any weapon he can carry with one hand. That would be a massacre
The man also EATS ROCKS!
I was less astounded by the Time Travel as I was every other mission asking "How da fuq Link doing this?"
@@kinryuten Right? What does his anatomy look like that he can chew on a rock like it's nothing.
This video is so amazing, and your word choice is part of what makes it so good.
Just finished the game and needed a recap for everything.
Great and clear explanation of the story, also appreciated the cutscenes, they make the video even better.
Cheers.
Can we just take a second to appreciate the amount of stuff in the game? They didn’t have to add kohga or rhoam or hestu into the roster of playable characters, or any of the time travelers. Hell, they made the great fairies and Maz Koshia into characters! There’s over 100 special challenges to do (I think, haven’t done them all yet), a solid story, and some incredible boss fights and fun gameplay. And they even added post game content for terrako. 9/10 game at LEAST
You can also unlock Calamity Ganon as a playable character.
I am not lying.
@@jorgeorlandogonzalez5053 wait really? How?
By beating about 5 different side quests or something about ganon
@@kanyenortheast3546 beat all battle quests
They also included my favorite feature: 2 fps when you play in co-op!
You didn't even mention how after Zelda saved Roam and they hugged it shows kohga and two yoga clan members crying in the background and he's my favorite character, I can never kill kohga in botw ever again.
Rest in peace my boy Sooga I was genuinely looking forward to play as him. Hopefully he comes out as dlc.
Kohga didnt really die in botw imo he just needs to recover
Blazin Ace yeah, hopefully kooga and his clan of yoga clan members can get his peace he deserves by gettin dat dlc. Better give kooga his own skins too. (The spelling was a joke)
Did Kohga even die in BoTW anyway? He went down in a comedic way and fell into a hole. Dude could just be sleeping unconscious for all we know or just teleported and forgot to tell the Yiga members.
Edited: So Yiga members mention avenging him. I'm still on the skeptical side that he's alive, just injured in battle.
@DS Gamer Honestly would like to see a redemption arc for him in BoTW 2 if he survived.
Dude you're opening is so perfect. You're name is great the font is great and the music and the fact the picture is familiar but doesn't technically exist in the game is so exciting and mysterious and just beautiful
Jeez, this is the ultimate fan-fiction "...and everyone lived happily ever after" timeline ever. And it is cannon.
Everyone before playing: rip champions
Nintendo: Haha timeline go brrrrr
To which I reply: Very funny, Nintendo. Clever prank. Now, where's the *_real_* game? You know, the *prequel* to Breath of the Wild?
Lol, I remember thinking it's okay to fail because everyone dies in the timeline anyway. Was very surprised when the future people came.
I asked myself "Wait, were they alive during these events?" Then I learned Terriko teleported them in from the future.
I wish Nintendo made this game a prequel as they stated in stead of a timeline split. They had a good story to tell with character development that could have made the champions more three dimensional. Instead we see and egg travel through time to screw things up.
Before the game: I'm going to cry over the champions dying
After the game: I cried over an egg
Ik..

Almost cried when Terrako went down though. I can’t believe I got emotional over a small robot dying. D:
@@SheaN10266 why is it confusing to you
100% or just the finale main story level
I noticed the egguardian played zelda’s lullaby both in the memory where zelda’s mother died and when it itself died as if trying to make Zelda feel better
Zeltik you are a brilliant storyteller. I got chills multiple times. 🔥
I don’t comment often but this was very good. I just finished the game after playing on and off since it’s release and while I understood the overall story there were bits that I missed that confused me a bit. I loved this so much, thank you.
Nobody:
Link: Damn, this rock look extra tasty.
Zelda game: is only out for two days.

This video was really impressed. Thank you for making it. And I subbed too
Brilliant video. Amazing work!!!
Im actually really satisfied with this being a one off mini split in the timeline. Then you get some fun twists in the story and if you really dont like musou games and dont wanna play it, you wont be missing out on the main story of botw and the upcomming sequel. It lets them do whatever they want with this story while letting it also remain canon and i think thats really smart of them.
I can agree with that, but they should've marketed it more honestly; they made everyone think that this game was going to be a direct prequel to Breath of the Wild, so what's really disappointing isn't the game itself, but the false-advertising that surrounded it.
I agree, but I do wanna point out my confusion on a lil thing like the clear envy and resentment Zelda held for Link at first, and yet this shows that she didn't mind him much at all before he drew the master sword, and he was already her personal bodyguard, and when he drew the sword in this one she didn't much mind afterwards either, because Urbosa talked to her about it. But in the original, he's already got the sword and she already hates him before he becomes her personal knight....am I right or am I getting confused? 😩🤔
Just as long as BOTW 2 doesn’t reference Age of calamity at all. The story was fine, but it felt like fan fiction, with how they just used time travel to solve their problems.
@@matthewmuir8884 but would the twist have been more exciting if you expected it. Besides if it was a direct prequel than the only really big battle would have been on death mountain, it wouldn’t have been able to be a hyrule warriors game.
@@lightfuryfan5700 I mean this in the most respectful way but, yeah you’re wrong. Zelda wasn’t as jealous because there was to much to be focused on it was mostly battle in aoc so she didn’t really pay that much attention to link she was more focused on her research terrako and her father. But at the korrok forest mission and the mission before Gannon arrives link does bug her and gives the same feeling self that she had in botw.
Nintendo: "Alright, we're merging all the timelines to prevent confusion"
Also Nintendo: "lol jk let's make a new one"
If they save this new timeline purely for a series of canon Hyrule Warriors games, it would save on confusion. Have Hyrule Warriors follow the new timeline, whilst the main series follows the BOTW timeline. I think this would be nice.
@@lukoscreyden that makes sense
What if they make botw 2 follow aoc?
@@andpeggy6048 Would make sense.
@@andpeggy6048 Highly doubtful. They know AoC is a niche game. Besides, when people play botw2, they will expect a sequel of botw1, not a sequel of AoC. That would quickly become confusing to a LOT of people, and not a good sort of confusing. Besides, AoC even goes so far to include a loading screen message to confirm that the game's events take place in their own "world".
To stay safe, I would think it is best to assume that botw2 will follow on directly from the original story of botw.
Wow, awesome story telling skills you have and a really good vídeo thanks for it.
Thanks for making this video!
This game should have pulled a Dynasty Warriors 8, where there's a depressing historical route, and a hypothetical route where everyone is happy and alive. It would have been great for this game.
I pray for a free update or at least DLC that adds in the actual prequel route
Like the first one is the actual prequel and then you unlock this route
That would’ve been amazing. Hopefully in DLC
@@kiraogola6043 how it should’ve been
I doubt there will be a DLC that adds the good ending (that we know from Botw). They would have to scrap the entire game to make it canon since the only canon part the first cutscene.

Thank you, Zeltik, great video
After playing TOTK (spoilers ahead):
Even if they defeated Alt. Calamity Ganon, Alt. Ganondorf would still be chillin underneath Hyrule Castle still sealed by Alt. Rauru's hand. I wonder if Zelda and Link would still go down the depths to examine the gloom that would still be present similar to how it was in TOTK after Calamity Ganon's defeat. If they do travel down two possible scenarios would happen:
(1) Alt. Rauru's seal is still active and would not deactivate because unlike TOTK, this reality of Zelda and Link arriving would happen over a hundred years earlier than in TOTK. If dry-aged Alr. Ganondorf didn't awaken would Zelda and Link put an end to Alt. Ganondorf right then and there or would Zelda (knowing her curiosity) would spend time studying dehydrated Alt. Ganondorf before taking any sort of action against him? And if actions of any kind were taken to end Alt. Ganondorf before he awakens, wouldn't that prevent Zelda from isekai-ing to the past, interacting with Alt. Rauru, Alt. Sonia, and Alt. Zonal, and prevent Alt. Ganondorf from being sealed in the first place (aka a paradox). Or would her curios nature cause her to to still isekai to the past after fidgeting with Alt. Rauru's Spirit Stone which will perpetuate Alt. Ganadorf's being sealed and continuing the events of BOTW/Alt. Age of Calamity.
(2) If Alt. Rauru's seal had indeed deactivate (such as in TOTK but over a hundred years earlier) and beef jerkied Alt. Ganondorf re-hydrates, Zelda gets isekaid to the past, and Link gets Alt. Rauru's furry hand, how would the more prepared Hyrule army, still alive Alt. Champions, and allied Alt. Guardian + Divine Beasts machines fair against Alt. Ganondorf and his gloom? Would the old Sages try to pass down the powers to the 4 Alt. Champions instead of the Champion's successors (they would be OP af ngl)? How powered up would Link be if he had both Shekai Slate and Alt. Rauru's furry Zonai hand abilities along with the aforementioned Hyrule and Alt. Champions as support?
This is a lot to think about and I feel like I'm barely scratching the surface of questions but I'm curious to see what others think. Would this idea be addressed if they make Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity 2? Would this cause more non-Canonical time-split to the Zelda Timeline? Would Treeko still be the best guardian buddy? Guess we could only theorize
My guess is that an Age of Calamity 2 would avoid all those questions by claiming in its advertising to be a prequel depicting the Imprisoning War to seal Ganondorf, only for it to actually be a game where a robot cucumber travels back in time and enables Zelda and the Sages to kill Ganondorf and save the life of Sonia.
