![Why Rauru's Kingdom Wasn't FIRST (ft. @wizcatcheslightning ) [TotK THEORY]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Gajk1u4Qt20/mqdefault.jpg)
What did you think of the return of The Sages in Tears of the Kingdom?
We really need a dlc expansion with Princess Zelda as a playable character. To see more of the events of the Imprisoning War with the 5 sages. And to explore the origins of Ganondorf.
felt like a strange blast to the past. Had zero depth sadly
they’re meh. they’re more of just a warrior friend group than sages
Boring. For some reason everything about the story in this game has no depth or weight. I complained about BOTW story and they came up with one that is even worst. 🙁
I dont get the criteria needed for number of sages and what their sage of. Like Oot had 7, WW had 2, TP had sages but they did nothing, now totk has 6. Also did they just drop forest and shadow for thunder and wind?
Purah becoming a sage is interesting, considering she's mastered the technology to keep herself immortal and is already selfless in helping the Royals. She was just sort of hanging out in the final epilogue. No doubt she's gonna take Mineru's Construct back to the lab and investigate it, find the stone and BAM!
That was where i thought the last cutscenes were going. I think your right it will happen after the game though, maybe in dlc but idk. In general i feel like the sheikah are the meepers of zonai culture now. Even the eye is a refference to the sacrifice of the last zonai king.
Unfortunately it looked like Mineru took her stone with her. I really hope they do post-game DLC as there's a lot that can only be done after the final battle.
@@aaronolson6736 Post-game DLC would make more sense in this game than in BOTW, because this game probably won't get a direct sequel. So they could do post-game DLC to explore events that happen after the game.
My big problem with that idea is I still really, really doubt they do post-game DLC. For one thing, they'd have to solve the problem of monsters with Ganondorf now gone. How would that even work? Ganondorf is gone now so there's no more blood moon and seemingly no more gloom either. Monsters can still exist, undoubtedly, but theoretically they shouldn't be able to endlessly revive anymore.
@@JaidynReiman they also took raurus arm away at the end of the game, he wouldn't have any abilities unless they give him a whole new set which wouldn't make sense.
She also had the ability to code a rune to change a persons age which sounds like some spirt shenanigans to me. Plus she wears a sheikah version of Mineru’s goggles which mimics the divine beast helms and their ancient counterparts
I think the sages wore masks so that ganon wouldn’t be able to copy their faces after learning what happened to the queen.
I'm so sad Purah didn't become a sage. I was fully expecting Mineru to entrust Purah with her stone before she left.
They're all in the sky, Purah hangs behind a bit, knowing this isn't her scene. Mineru announces her departure, but smiles at Purah and floats over to her. She tells Purah to hold out her hands and places her secret stone into them. Purah asks what for, Mineru says "you are more powerful than you give yourself credit for. Take this and realize that for me." And then she leaves, the seven sages officially reformed
Yeah same, Purah should have been a sage. Mineru's construct and storyline was lame
@@dominicmoisant8393 i don't think they were lame personally, but I do find it confusing. Purah is like one of the only voice acted characters with an introduction NOT to be a sage. It's incredibly weird to me that she's not a sage at all...like there was no reason for her to be there during Mineru's passing...they could have just made her a sage! They could have said "actually her aging/deaging rune was her realizing her spirit power" or whatever
She's a scientist, and probably asked to tag along for her own curiosity.
I’d prefer Paya as a Sheikah Sage rather than Purah.
I think Purah's got enough on her plate; she'd probably politely decline. She's clearly a type A workaholic, and her studies are everything.
It occurs to me that when Zelda was in the past and interacting with Rauru, they both possessed the exact same secret stone at the exact same time, since hers was his until it fell from his arm and she picked it up. Add to that there being Zelda in Light Dragon form with the Master Sword during the events of BoTW, and we have time travel: the original duplication glitch.
When Light Dragon comes to aid Link in the final battle, my thought was “did she come back and maybe draconification hasn’t removed everything that is Zelda?”
It is her love for her knight is what drove her dragon instinct/consciousness in saving him from Draconified Demon King.
Perhaps a dlc with some trials to connect with the sliver of themselves left in the dragons, have the other 3 show up during dragon phase to hold Ganon with their elements.
I think they hold on to some of their deepest desires and it leads their dragon forms to act instinctively. The Demon Dragon retains Ganondorf's desire to destroy the light and the Light Dragon retains Zelda's desire to protect Link.
I think the dragons just carry out the last wish of the original person. The main 3 travel in the general area of their springs, likely protecting them, and the last thing Zelda said before draconification was "protect them all", so she encircles Hyrule, and actively goes after the Demon Dragon
Feelings do not depend on memories, so even if Zelda lost herself, her feelings are still there
So sweet :,)
I think it’s interesting how the Divine beast were inspired by the ancient sage masks.
I think it was more the other way around as the theme of this game is dualities. All powers follow the rule of connecting 1 + 1 together
@@commonwealthrealm what do you mean "the other way around"?
How could the sage masks be inspired by the Divine Beasts when the sages were first?
Your awnser is really confusing.
God only knows how much I hated the sages from the distant past timeframe. They're just so faceless, and *WHY DO THEY ALL TELL ME THE SAME STORY FOUR TIMES?!*
They tell you the same story because u might go to eauther one first but I agree it’s stupid
It likely has to do with the idea that the game is pretty much non-sequential. You could complete any region in any order, so they might be accounting for that. However, this is Nintendo, who made the physics engines of this and the prequel, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it would be real easy for them to write in a line of code that checks for if the player has completed at least one region prior, and if it detects so, it plays an alternate cutscene which skips the retelling of the story each time.
I hated that too so lazy of Nintendo to keep repeating things in a game like this it doesn't deserve the lazyness. They want to make it kid friendly maybe but give 2023 kids a little more credit.
@@myadoesrandomthings I think it has more to do with the sages all leading it for themselves link is there and knows but the new sages don't 🤷🏽♀️. That's what I assume at least
They should of had make cutscenes for each Sage fighting Ganon and showing how he outclasses them all so the Mineru Cutscene remains the same, showing how they finally stop Ganondorf.
I didnt like Raruru but watching him Falcon Punch Ganondorf and just accept what he needs to do and Ganondorf just laughs and is ready to fight Link is perfect.
One fact I haven’t noticed that’s been pointed out is that you can find the divine beast helms and if you wear one and summon the corresponding sage, the sage avatar is wearing the same mask as the sages in the past. Just a cool fact I noticed during my play through
At first I thought Purah was going to be the 5th sage.
I thought it would be Paya.
I want to know why the amber has changed its shape from a rounded stone to a sharp and jagged one since BotW. Also, it’d be cool if someone can make a theory of the Amber Relics in SS and how they look so similar to the shape of the secret stones in TotK. They certainly have a theme of “amber” and those fear shapes between the two games
The Amber looks sharps since it can now be fused to weapons. Simple gameplay reason
I was honestly hoping that dedragonification would be a side quest of sorts for after Gannon is taken care of. The old sages of time and light coming back at the very end seemed a bit weird
I feel like they needed to wrap it up so they can do X or Y for the next game.
As always, I thoroughly enjoyed this theory video. Thanks for the hard work into making them. 😊
Thank you for speculating about Rauru’s Sages! But many have covered them yet and I think you make fine points
Nothing makes more sense than for purah to be mineru's successor. They are both tech geeks after all.
It would place her people back in that sage position as it was in OOT and, There's def some connection with the Shick and the Zonia.
As they built shines over the old Zonai shriens and impa valuing the zonia looking hero from the tapestry.
9:47 Actually the Triforce in within Zelda the whole time in BOTW and TOTK. It is on the back of her right hand.
I back you up on this. Zelda wields the full triforce. You can see in the molduga memory when her aura utterly dwarfs Sonias. It surprises Zelda in that moment, showing that she doesn't understand the power she holds. Which also implies why she can't draw forth it's full power. She's untrained, using part of its power only out of instinct.
@@paingamer4980 Zelda having the full Triforce in BotW would also explain why she's significantly more powerful than any of her predecessors
I think that even the 'ancient past' in totk at the time of rauru and the sages was wayy after any past zelda game and that the Hyrule that Rauru and Sonia form is more like a re-forming of the Hyrule of past games. It would be like when Hyrule was flooded in Wind Waker and had to be rebuilt. That could also explain why Rauru and Sonia chose the name 'Hyrule'. It also means that the Rito and Zora could co-exist as both races evolved over time rather than the totk 'ancient past' being before past games and therefore before the rito wouldve existed
I like to think that when Hyrule was founded in tears of Kingdom it was actually a refounding of Hyrule long after the timeline convergence.
The triforce is still in the game. Its not the zonai stone that restores the master sword, its the Triforce. You see it on her hand in memory 18.
Since Tears of the Kingdom has taken inspiration from our beloved favorite Zelda game of all time ‘Ocarina of Time’, will we get a dlc story expansion of how Naboris grows more suspicious of Ganondorf, Kotake, and Koume dark ambitions, and sets up her own character development in becoming the Sage of Lightning?
Don't assume; I've never had the chance to play 'Ocarina'. My favorite's 'A Link to the Past'.
"our"? Speak for yourself, I hate Ocarina of Time. (it's just my opinion please don't kill me)
okaaay but like have you realized that the sage helmets/masks are the same as the divine beasts? its a cool detail because if you wear a divine beast helm, the sage of the corresponding element wears their own sage helmet too! the divine beast names were references to the past games, so could the sages be references to the divine beasts and those who piloted them? i noticed that the sages had the same genders as the champions from botw, and their voices almost sounded similar too. (i knwo this has nothing to do w it, but yeah)
i wish there was a dlc where we could play in princess zelda’s pov and then ACTUALLY experience the imprisoning war, to meet the sages and fight ganondorf as zelda. i love theory videos a lot, thanks for this one especially!
If you look at the Zelda Wiki, it states that the name "Imprisoning War" now refers to TWO separate wars. The Imprisoning War of Tears of the Kingdom clearly comes sometime AFTER the Imprisoning War that takes place during the Fallen Hero Timeline.
And, since Breath of the Wild is known to take place at the ends of all three timelines (which it's probably safe to conclude can also be said for Tears), we're dealing with three separate realities which all are occurring. One, in which there were a First and Second Imprisoning War (since it only takes place after Link dies in 'Ocarina', as a last-ditch act of desperation), and two in which there is only Rauru's Imprisoning War (because Link survived to defeat Ganon in 'Ocarina' in the Child and Adult Timelines).
In conclusion: Trying to connect the Tears sages to the Ocarina ones and the Wind Waker ones is much more complex than you're implying. Which isn't to say that you're not already showing that it's complicated; it's simply more so than you think. There's just no reason to assume that the events of 'Ocarina' are the ones that take place ten thousand years prior to 'Breath'/'Tears'; it's neither implied nor clearly stated to be the case at any point. Reading between the lines, in fact, implies otherwise.
I'm sure Aonuma-san would probably be able to set us all straight (including me, because we all make mistakes) on a lot of the points here. And I apologize for the long comment. I just feel very much in love with the lore of this franchise; I'm as hooked on every detail of it as I am on chocolate.
Hmm, if you think about it, couldn't Zelda just have recalled Sonia's stabbing 😅
No. She can't 'recall' a living person, or reverse death.
There’s still three sages missing with no representation at all, Forest, Earth and Shadows, maybe we have a quest in the DLC involving the missing sages and choosing a suitable wielder.
- Purah Sage of Shadows: since she was at the ending scene standing right in the shadows of the pillar, might be a stretch but she could easily be a wielder. Paya could be another suitable Sage since she’s the new leader of the Sheikah.
- Hestu/Kokiri Sage of Forest: What if somehow Kokiris still exist but they were just really a small group hiding (If Rito and Zora can coexist so can the Koroks and Kokiris) maybe a young Kokiri resembling a Gremlin or Imp, either that or just use Hestu.
- ??? Sage of Earth: we don’t have any character that could fit this spot, Mogmas have no descendants or evolutionary chain that we know of so maybe they still around the Depths and they were under Zonai command to mine? Maybe that’s why the Miner’s Outfit resembles the Mogmas.
They could also add new sages and give them backstory
- Sooga: re-introduced the character and give him a completely new story on how it survived all this years, maybe with a secret stone? Maybe acting like some kind of Anti-Hero, besides Ganondorf, Sooga is the only one that is closest to Link in swordsmanship after all.
- Ancient Robot Warrior: Maybe we don’t have the ancient armor anymore but it’ll be cool to see an android/robot that looks just like the Ancient Armor but is powered by a secret stone, imaging a dungeon full of ancient tech and the ancient robot just waiting at the end to fight you, get defeat and reprogram itself to be your buddy.
- Satori: We know it’s the reincarnation of a sage, but what sage? And why was able to reincarnated?
Needless to say here’s my take on characters I wish were sages and characters that could be or have the potential to wield a secret stone:
The one who deserved to be sages:
- Daruk Sage of Fire
- Mipha Sage of Water
- Revali Sage of Wind
- Urbosa Sage of Lighting
Perfect picks:
- Mineru Sage of Spirit
- Sonia / Zelda Sage of Time
- Rauru King of Light
Characters that could wield a secret stone:
- Purah Sage of Tech ( Tech-manipulation and clairvoyance )
- Sooga Wielder of Shadows ( Merges into shadows / stealth )
- Guardian Warrior protector of the energy secret stone ( Uses the stone to power up its Guardian body )
- Linkle “Sage” of Axis???
- Satori Sage of Wild
- Dark Link wielder of the mirror secret stone
- Random Bokoblin cuz why not? After all it has an amiibo lol
I wish the Zelda team included two more secret stones so we also could have gotten a Korok Sage of Forest and a Sheikah Sage of Shadow. In terms as to who these two would be, I’d put my money on Hestu and Paya. It would have been great because that would mean that Ganondorf would be fighting all eight races of Hyrule in the final battle.
i think purah shouldve helped to build minerus construct body and become the modern day sage of spirit
I thought that the sage of spirit was actually the sage of shadow before the 5th sage quest and that Paya would be the sage of shadow
@@zkproductions4351 Here’s hoping DLC makes it happen 🤞🏻
I hope the same, i was waiting for the korok sage and the sheikah sage
I feel like Dorian would be the more fitting Sage of Shadow, but I dunno if he'd want to since he needs to look after his daughters. They could do a storyline where he's initially reluctant, but ultimately accepts trusting that Koko can take care of Cottla while he's gone.
Nah, Kotake and Koume don't use golden light - but Rauru does. I'm with the thought that Rauru managed to rescue Nabooru into the Sacred Realm before she died.
I think there's a detail being forgotten overall. The sages have always been seven ( with the exception of WW, but maybe you can argue they were just two of a new set), and the elemental powers as well as the race who would inherit them always changed. In OOT there were sages of fire, water, shadow, light,forest,spirit with Zelda as their leader as the sage of time. If you pay attention in TOTK the sages are also seven if you count Rauru as the new sage of light. It is safe to assume that Sonia was the sage of time of that era, only to be replaced by Zelda after her death, yet Zelda already had time powers before that.
I’m honestly surprised they didn’t make paya a shiekah sage of shadow
Same here. I was also hoping for Hestu to become the Korok Sage of Forest.
i have a feeling that the triforce no longer exists and it has just been transformed into zeldas blood power
As the game never ends as there is no post game playing (as you keep coming back to your last save point before final battle) I am not sure if they will put a dlc adding a new sage, but it would be nice to see Purah as the new sage. I believe they will do a new trial of the sword dlc and another giving you +8 Shrines to complete the hearts and showing more cutscenes from the past, maybe revealing the sages faces or some ancient lore. It would be nice if this could connect to the ancient hero and tapestry story somehow
If we get a sequel to Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, will Urbosa, Mipha, Daruk and Revali become Sages in this alternate timeline?
I don't think we'll get a sequel but in that timeline they totally did. I believe that around 5 years after the events of aoc ganondorf rises and the champions take on the secret stones as they have similar powers, lineage, and appearance as their ancient sages counterparts.
medli is named after 'medley'
medoh is named after 'melody'
both are musical jokes / puns / references.
sidon is shortversion of poseidon and rito is a pun on tori meaning bird.
Interestingly, the wall of the history of the Zora stated in Breath of the Wild was that Vah Ruta was named after Princess Ruto. If we are presuming Vah Ruta is inspired by this Sage, then it stands to reason her name would be Ruto as well.
There's one problem tho, the monument explicitly mention the sage Ruto fought along side the princess of Hyrule and the hero of legend. So it's a reference to the event of Ocarina of time and that Ruto. Rauru isn't a hero of legend and Sonia is a Queen. Also any reference to Zelda in the distance past would refer to her as the sage of time
I can shed some light on who the Ancient Sages really are: their names are within the names of the Divine Beasts themselves. That's right, the Divine Beasts were named after the Sages themselves.
I HATE that the kokiris were downgraded into koroks, they had such an important role in Ocarina of time, and now basically nothing.
Can someone PLEASE help me find the name of this song?? 4:25 ? I’ve been trying to figure out the name for months and all the Zelda CZcamsrs have it playing in the background I just can’t seem to find it anywhere ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED
Maybe in the next Zelda game we’ll travel to the era of the Ancient Hero, and there we’ll see the identities of the Sages of the past.
Wonder what a Zonai stone would do for Link. Say if Zelda didn’t grab the stone first, what power of Link would dominate? Zonai enhanced cooking.
The Kokiri keep getting robbed...
How can I focus when your playing Rijus theme in the background 5:34, it’s so good 😭
I really wanna watch this video, but I haven’t beaten the all the dungeons yet because I haven’t had the time 😭😭
Definitely coming back once I do!
I think if purah was giften minerus secret stone, she would be the sage of creation, as she’s always working on some sort of new tech eg the sheikah slate, purah pad and taking an interest in zonai tech
If we take into consideration that the sages in TOTK are a reference to both Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker with some changes.
In Ocarina of Time, the sages revealed are
Light
Fire
Water
Forest
Spirit
Shadow
Time
Wind Waker, we have
Earth
Wind
TOTK introduced a lightning sage.
Most of these return in TOTK, with the exceptions of Forest, Earth, and Shadow.
Now, it could be possible that Ganondorf secret stone symbolizes darkness could be a replacement for Shadow but what if it's not?
If we do get DLC, maybe the possibility of the missing elements could appear in a brand new story mode.
Who could be chosen this my predictions
Link for Earth.
Paya for Shadow
Hestu for Forest
Or it could only be 1 if Darkness is a connection to Shadow instead.
Then what if it's possible that the Forest and Earth will be combined to create Nature.
If we look at the 3 area's Sky, Surface, and Depths we can connect them to the 3 main characters.
Zelda for Sky.
Seeing How Zelda Stone gives her Light powers fits perfectly with Sky's.
Link for Surface
Ganondorf for Depths, also just like Zelda the element of Darkness fits perfect for Depths.
Now the real question is what could represent Link and the Surface.
Long story short I think DLC could be a great idea to use the missing sage elements.
Glad I’m not the only one hoping for Hestu the Forest Sage and Paya the Shadow Sage 🤞🏻
Begun to wonder if there can be 10 sages at any one time just 6-7 are active at any given time
Yeah, about that...
I would 100% play a Forest temple with a Korok and have him as a Sage buddy. Since Hestu serves a gameplay function, Chio (or a new one) would work. Given plants and sunlight, perhaps his spirit power could be a slow regeneration of health (or hearts harmed by gloom). Or he could create a sort of root attack that spawns up from the ground, if it must be an offensive power, something that would be more useful on flyers or Lizalfos style enemies that dodge away.
Purah would also make more an interesting sage, but she doesn't have the power of Spirit like Mineru, able to detach from her body, so she's make a poor Sage of Spirit. She'd need a power that's more suited for her personality. She'd make an interesting Sage of Wisdom.
One interesting power I'd like to see (although it would be hard to implement given the game's plot) would be Zelda as the Sage of Time as a companion. Her power in battle would be freezing an enemy in time for a bit: They'd be impervious to harm, but unable to move.
I don't think the secret stone that Ganondorf uses is referenced anywhere as the stone of darkness...
The symbol of the stone in japanese means "darkness"
Even if not explicitly mentioned, it can be implied and seen
No forest temple was the biggest disappointment
I tend to agree with the analysis though I have to admit I hate the masks on the sages in general. The masks are cool, sure, but it's so weird to see the sages always wearing masks that both cover their face and mask/mess with their voice despite others (Rauru, Zelda etc) fighting with them don't. It ends up making it feel out of place and silly.
They gave them masks so they didn't have to animate their faces
Ok hear me out yall, what if the floating fish sky island in TOTK is actually the Wind Fish from Link's Awakening and it just turned to stone
Can you make a theory video of the champions being the sages if they survived the calamity because they all seem too align with the ancient and modern sages as far as ancestry and powers.
I mean maybe we'll get to see it if there's ever a Age of Calamity 2. Urbosa, Mipha and Revali all share elemental powers with the distant sages of Lightning, Water and Wind. The only questionable one is Daruk who we're not sure whether or not he has some kind of fire powers but he probably does.
@@bastienlafleur5838at least in AoC he can summon magma pillars and rocks
I have a theary of how Rauru can appear in ocarina of time and tears of the kingdoms past.
If we use the logic of the collamity ganon being an exstention of a sealed ganondorf(I have a theary on that also), Its possible Rauru can do the same.
Instead of an evil specuale Bore whos purpose is to forge a new body for Ganondorf or even posses Garudo males born once every 100 years(again I have a theary on that later), Raurus Exstention of him self is the giant Owl Keboragebora who takes a hylian form in the sacred realm.
It also has a purpose to watch over children of destiny and follow the spirit of the hero to were ever it gose, to guide it and aid it basicly the Opposite of the collamity ganon.
Off topic but where are Paya's mother and father. 🤔 It's really random but it perplexes me that there is no mention in either game to my knowledge.
Probably a safe bet they were killed by Yiga, given the grudge they have against the Sheikah.
I think there should be DLC to explore them even more!!
"punched her out of mortal existence." Bro????
there is not much of a mystery: those are standard or reused models with standard faces or no faces at all. map breaks have shown this.
I don't think the Gorons are genderless. I'm fairly certain I remember some say he or him when referring to individuals.
Maybe they refer to themselves with male pronouns but are actually genderless?
Its more accurate to say they're a one-gender race than being genderless. All Gorons are male, which is a nice counterpart to all Gerudo being female (except one male very very rarely).
This does bring up an interesting point though. If they are all male, how do they reproduce?
@@kakarikokage2514Two old gorons say they just appeared from the earth at a certain cave you can find. That brings into question why some gorons are referred to as others' children or descendants.
They are all male, and 'born of the earth'. It's actually stated by 2 old gorons in a side quest.
I had thought Mipha or one of the zora tablets in BOTW said Vah Ruta was a 'male' and so used a male naming for a female sage so Ruto instead of Ruta? Same for Naboris and Nabouru being mentioned by Urbosa in the same context.
I wished they added a korok sage, missed opportunity.
Will Impa’s granddaughter Paya becomes Mineru’s successor and a new Sage of Spirit?
If anyone becomes Sage of Spirit 2, it's Purah
For that she would need some kind of spirit powers. The sages are given secret stones based on elemental powers that they already have.
Awesome thing about totk like BOTW can probably get five plus years content out of this
What if Nintendo announces they will make a 3rd game for Zelda now that Totk is a huge success and they actually have the triforce in it now since the master sword is technically broken in the future. they could have demise as the main villain again. But how would it work if Zelda summoned the sword to the past to strengthen it?🤔
Honestly, I think you're jumping to conclusions here a bit too much.
If you talk about the Kokiri, you speak about them being "ousted" - but that cannot be the case here. From a lore perspective, it's most likely that Saria was the first and only Kokiri sage in the Chamber of Light, while Fado was chanting for the Master Sword. Wasn't implied somewhere that the Kokiri came to this form and then most likely turned back into their spirit forms - the Koroks - when Link came to the Lost Woods as a baby and after he left following the OoT story?
Also, we don't know about how the game fits into the greater story of the franchise, so talking about replacing the OoT sages and the Triforce with Secret Stones is at the very least a stretch.
And when it comes to the names and identities of the ancient sages: What you said in the video is more conjecture than fact and I kinda doubt the connection to the Divine Beasts will be so obvious...
I normally don't watch lore videos (I'm more interested in character/story analysis video essays), but I thought this video had some interesting things to say. I love that you made the connection between Zelda eating Rauru's stone and Ganondorf eating Sonia's stone; it's like the spirits of two royals (one corrupted/stolen) fighting one another through other characters. The way the five sages help you underground, while Zelda (also a sage) helps you in the sky; also, the way both Rauru and Zelda sacrifice themselves for the sake of their respective kingdom, one to seal Ganondorf for as long as possible, the other to restore the Master Sword to ensure Ganondorf's eventual defeat once he reawakens. I know people tend to not give much thought to Zelda plots and stories (especially the latest two), but it makes me think the themes of the game are more tightly conceived than I originally thought.
I just dont get how they spent so much time doing all this stuff only for most fans to feel like they are traveling the lost woods without a fairy.
so this is just my opinion but I think the Zelda developers are basically throwing out the three timelines from prior to BOTW and just starting fresh with a new timeline. I guess u could call the old timeline "Legends timeline" but with all the differences to known events in TOTK such as the Imprisioning war and Ganondorf being Demise I think starting with BOTW 100,000 years when the first calamity happened is where the new timeline starts.
@methodius--9405 yeah basically. I forgot to put in the Zonai thx for that
Idk if you can control this or not, but when I watch your videos there are at least three times the amount of ads that other Zelda tubers have. 4 ad breaks in a 10 min video is just ridiculous. Doesn't do that when I watch other Zelda tubers though
he also pumps out 2 vids a day with many lore mistakes and ends them beggin for likes, there's a reason he's not as big as zeltik and NBC...
@@maksimilijan5029 I like the story videos. The other guy has the perfect narrator voice
I have a feeling that the sages are just the champions from botw
Why hasn’t anyone given Link a secret stone. It boosts power, right ? Why didn’t they give us one ?
Since Secret Stones are basically the Divine Beasts of this game, maybe we'll get one in the DLC like in Breath of the Wild. Link would be looking like Jin from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 if he had a Secret Stone.
Firstly, Link doesn't need one
Secondly, link kinda gets some of the Time stone at the start
We are already indirectly given the role of sage of time by Zelda’s recall, we just can’t have her stone at the same time she has it sadly.
Raru & Co
Were did Raurus stone went?
Zelda get raurus stone and went back in time 10.000 years and then we have 2 stone of raurus Stones! Zelda help rauru to seal ganon! Zelda eat hers and rauru seal ganon! Then we let the time go 10.000 years to links time then zelda is a dragon and were did raurus stone go if zelda are a dragon? That mean that in link time raurus stone should be 2 exist! Because when zelda take raurus stone she is also al ready a dragon in the sky same with master sword u have 2? Let me know where raurus stone went if zelda is a dragon 10.000 years? Or did she travel forward 10.000 years as a dragon? MVH: Harhoff
The changes arent that much of a leap if you think about it. The forest temple in OoT was originally supposed to be the Wind Temple. The kokiri evolved into the koroks in order to gain freedom away from the forest that they didnt previously have. Perhaps this freedom left them to abandon thier previous duties and thus the power of the Forest reverted back to wind and found a renewed strength in a newly evolved, Air based people. Lightning could be countless generations refining Spirit until being able to manifest it and make it material (think force lightning). While shadows were originally considered "by cover of Darkness", they could have played it off as old legends about a persons shadow being the gate to the next life and with the moniker of Spirit up for grabs... its also not too much of a leap that the Zonai protectors would inherit the Zonai's technology and grow themselves as the sheikah. This would leave the color purple still in sheikah hands regardless of what the power is now called.
It was actually the Shadow temple in OoT that was originally going to be the Wind Temple, hence the hover boots and wind puzzles in that dungeon. And I’m pretty sure the Kokiri didn’t need wings to leave the forest. There was a clear path out but Mido was just guarding itbmaking sure nobody left because apparently they thought they wouldn’t survive outside the forest or just lose their eternal youth iirc
I don't see why gender matters when it comes to being a sage. Like to be a wind sage you just have to be a Rito. Same goes for zora, we've seen both male and female zora sages. Now that Gannondorf is actually dead if the next male born to the gerudo isn't an incarnation of demises hate then he could be the lightning sage. Being a sage isn't gender exclusive.
That would actually be great material for a sequel. A male Gerudo who gets tempted to the dark side (Twinrova?) but ultimately chooses to become the hero of that era.
@@JD-xd4sy would love to see a game where the male gerudo isn’t the reincarnation of demises hate, but actually the reincarnation of the hero, tho still being
exiled because of precautionary measures and miss understandings about him
Link is the main hero of the game
Both Link and Zelda are the main characters in this game.
Let's goooo
Are ZOra naked?
Tears of the kingdom is a incredible game, but a terrible sequel. I'm not sure if the events of BoTW happened or not. Almost no mention of the Champions, Sheka Tech and more
Did you skip all dialogue and cutscenes?
It did happen. Zelda states that it's a time loop. She was always the last sage who helped Rauru. It's a bootstrap paradox
You can find a ruin of a guardian on top of Purah's lab in Hateno village. You can read Zelda's diary in Link's house and the well and she'll mention the calamity. You can find memorials in destroyed villages which Zelda ordered to be made to remember those who died during the calamity.
I do dislike that the game never gave us a straight answer but its fun to speculate. Obviously they don't want the risk of calamity Ganon or anything else taking control of the Sheikah tech so they'd have them dismantled or sealed away (the 6 pillars around Hyrule castle were literally a storage device). The shrines and towers can also bury themselves underground and the location of the towers are now holes to the chasm so one could infer that Ganondorf destroyed them and used them as a way to open up the depths. They wouldn't have a need for the tech anymore anyways because the Calamity was finally sealed away or so they believed.
The main story doesn't really mention the events of BOTW much, but it very much _does_ come up and its not hard to find at all. They constantly give you character profiles that precisely spell out EXACTLY what happened during BOTW.
Many important moments come up as well like Master Kohga directly calling Link how for defeating him in BOTW. Also do the Hateno School quest line and it will retell the events of BOTW's past _and_ present time periods.
I think the fact that terry town exists is proof enough that botw happened, what are the chances that all those random people who's names end in "son" all end up in that random place in Akala without us? Bolson would sit next to the house until the wedding, Hudson would be busy trying to build the town himself, Carson is... What does Carson do in general actually? And kilton/koltin are too busy looking for monster parts/bublegems
You're obsession with gender was really weird, gender has nothing to do with being a sage dude relax, anyone can be a sage clearly, but you kept going on and on
All this evidence really points out at BotW/TotK being an actual reboot of the timeline.
