    • @aidenwallin3523
      @aidenwallin3523 Před rokem +8

      I like this idea, so let's try to figure out a possible name. We already have these examples(letters consistent between the goddess' name, region, and dragon are capitalized):
      DIN -> elDIN -> DINrall
      NAYru -> laNAYru -> NAYdra
      FARore-> FARon -> FARosh
      Since there isn't really a region or province named after Hylia besides Hyrule, that's probably our best starting point:
      HYlia -> HYrule -> Hy___
      With the Zonai influences, this is all probably incorrect and the dragon has some unrelated name that references some other character from the series. Any ideas?

      ​@@aidenwallin3523 maybe it'll follow the Twilight Princess regime: three of the Light Spirits were Faron, Eldin and Lanayru. The fourth Light Spirit was called Ordona, possibly after an unknown deity.
      Alternatively, there were five divine entities in Skyward Sword, with the fifth being Levias. He's probably dead - one of the three Leviathans - but he might have a spiritual reincarnation. And his name is better to go off than the Wind Fish.

    Jade and dragon era could be both the name, because the material of the dragon in the title is similar to a jade. It also seems like the new robot enemies (forgot the name) could have jade in them or have to do something with jade. Maybe jade will play a big role with the dragons? It’s a stretch but it’ll be cool to speculate and think about. Such a cool discovery tho!
    Edit:
    Something else I thought about, this is off topic, what if the Korok with the backpack can only sell certain items? Because they aren’t as big as beetle or anyone else selling items, maybe they can only sell smaller items like gems and fruits, or maybe they sell entirely different items that we haven’t even seen before, like korok specific items? That would be really cool to see.

    thank youuuu!! OMG. I've been thrown head first into Zelda lore bingeing thanks to the ToTK trailer, but I've been desperately looking for anyone whose noticed the massive dragon connections and gives it anything more that a passing significance. In my humble opinion, I think you're absolutely right, especially since at least 2 of the new outfits we see in the ToTK trailer - are, in my humble opinion, dragon sets.
    Yup. we're gonna get dragon sets, mark my words.
    Not sure if you're already aware of this, I'm sure you are, I can't be the first person to have made the connection, but since I noticed this myself I hope you'll forgive me and indulge me in a little explanation:
    There's a shot where link rides on the armour bedecked horse (very Epona looking) and is about to fire an arrow fused with a ruby (aka a fire arrow) wearing a new armour set. This, on it's own, could easily be taken as just another type of barbarian or zonai set or sooomething BUT. imo this is the Dinraal set. look at the horn shape, the mane, the red colouring, the association with everything fire related in the shot itself. bit of a stretch still with this shot alone but my most compelling evidence for this beeing a Dinraal set is actually because we also see what, to me, can only be the Naydra set - in the shot where Link and Tulin are inside the massive storm and that terrifying ice spider (actually maybe dragon? now I think about it...) creature thing is coming at them. look closely at links outfit, and especially the strangely crown shaped headpiece and it's colour palette. plus a clear association with ice here. alone, these new clothing sets seem very mysterious but because we have both of them in the trailer the connection to the dragons is easier to make. it's so compelling in fact that I am almost 100% sure my hunch will turn out to be correct.
    ANYWHO, thanks for indulging me, carry on 🤣

    Seeing as how the original 3 dragons from BotW were also representative of each goddess/triforce piece, their importance in the story may have do with relevant areas we've seen in the overworld being influenced in some way by Ganon. An example would be Death Mountain having Malice flowing out of it. The idea is to free Dinraal who is sealed in the volcano by Ganon, and our task is to free him to aid in repairing the Master Sword.

    I knew the dragons were going to play a bigger part since the second E3 2021 trailer. Music can be a great indicator for themes or events and that trailer ends with a shot of Hyrule Castle floating over malice with Zelda's Lullaby playing in the same style and instrument as the Dragon's theme. And in the latest trailer I think Zelda is talking to them when she says "lend him your power" because it plays after that as well.

    I thought that the cover art look like a set of hands with arms to create a circle. Like the hand that saves Link from falling and is in the trailers themselves.
    Then the different hand positions each have a different meaning, just like in BOTW each monk use a different pose.
    Could be just me that the dragon heads can look like hands too.
    Maybe TOTK can give more light as to why the dragons "cycle" from/to the clouds. They never touch the ground in BOTW except with Nydra while corrupted. Where/when do they sleep?

    One thing I wanted to point out of breathe of the wilds logo, the specific flower in the logo is call a silent princess. It’s been years, but so as a refresher, there was an entire memory dedicated to it. Zelda tells link that despite their best efforts, the royals could not grow the flower in captivity, it could only flourish in the wilds, and Zelda hopes the species could hang on.
    I think the point of having the silent princess present in the logo is a symbolism of
    1. The first LoZ game that’s open world, playing into that wilds trope. Kinda how the flower can only flourish out there.
    2. The events of Botw are literally post apocalypse in hyrule. The kingdom is long gone and so many people died 100 years ago. The silent princess is a rare flower that, despite the odds, has not gone extinct, and it is a play on how the kingdom, , hyrulians, Zelda, and Link were almost wiped out but are hanging on.
    I believe it’s incredibly fitting that the silent princess is in the logo for Botw……….(it’s also a little fitting because if you don’t remember the silent princess cutscene in the first game, it just shows how weak the story was overall compared to the other games lol). But yeah Botw is still

    I have my own theory regarding them. So, so far from the footage we have seen we have only seen 2 serpent-like dragons. Presumably Naydra, and then a mysterious new yellow and white dragon. I have a theory this might be the only 2 dragons we see in the game. I mean, the logo even has two dragons forming an ouroboros, which we can safely assume will have some importance. I believe this new dragon, not only is it the dragon of the sky, but specifically it represents the sun/light. And if this is indeed naydra (bc it could be a brand new dragon that looks similar), it would be pretty safe to assume that Naydra would represent the new. Being Naydra is the dragon of water/lanayru province, this corresponds pretty perfectly with it representing the moon, as the moon is what controls the tides. Plus, we already know that the moon plays some significance in the game, as the cutscene showing Ganondorf resurrecting all of his minions from deep below the ground is done through a seemingly much more powerful blood moon manipulation. If Naydra (or whatever it is), is the moon dragon, perhaps there is some tie with Ganondorf being able to wield its full power using the dragon. We already know the skies will be a new point of exploration, and also the caves below. A sun dragon to represent the skies, and a moon dragon to represent the darkness below.

      That's the most common depiction, but not the only one. There's historic evidence of ones consisting of multiple serpentine creatures.

    I think that the Zonai and the dragons are linked - and the Zonai are the key to the sealing of Ganondorf. then came an age of the Sheikah and Hyrule working around the cyclical nature of the malice escaping ganondorfs sealed body. but with the start of ToTK that barrier has been broken and the Zonais last line of defense is activated, probably calling on the dragons to counteract Ganondorfs army more actively this time.

    Maybe the dragons are keeping the islands aloft? Dragon pressure/fire/clouds is how the wingless dragons "fly" or rather they run on it, and a strong dragon could lift mountains in this way. The old cloud barrier in skyward sword being maintained by dragons would make degrees of sense.

    Not entirely related to the video, but there has to be a reason the sky Islands have "appeared" now, rather than just always being there... Maybe they were hidden in the clouds? Or invisible to the eye similar to how the Dragons are? Or they were just really high up and have fallen/lowered down closer to the ground for whatever reason, because otherwise I don't know how people havent noticed them especially the Rito and their divine beast Vah Medoh? It could be that they can't fly as high up as them though? (Theres probably already an explanation and I've just missed it or something, lemme know If I have)
