Thank you for watching! What Easter Eggs have you noticed in Tears of the Kingdom?
Can't wait for the Temples of Time, be on the lookout in the coming weeks!
The Fairy Pond next to the Desert Great Skeleton gave me Ocarina of Time Desert Colossus pond vibes... 🤔
I used to believe the Thyphlo Ruins were the Forest Temple from Ocarina of Time, but I don't know about that anymore
Fun theory 😅 the octoroks ate all the Babas and the Molduga ate all the leevers. 😂
@@lordvicious9006 omg the babas
Slight correction but Wind Waker also requires returning the Master Sword to full power and well. Great video though! I really hope newer players enjoy it and are inspired to play older games
yeah no doubt~ i thought about that after posting the video...i didnt wanna take it down and re-export
BUT TYSM HOMIE @@Shinntoku
❤
@@moxiewatts Lol I Can See The "Fake Zelda" As A Reference To The Zelda Animated Series Where Ganon
Creates A Mirrored Version Of Princess Zelda 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
FINALLY someone that mentions the triforce on Zelda’s hand on that cutscene. I’ve seen dozens of videos about heavy speculation and theories and none of them specifically mention that fact.
Huge thanks for all your hard work on your videos ♥️ I’ll aways support you!
NO THANK YOU HOMIE
but yeah @Banuune said someone should straight up say it
Its the first time I've noticed that too. I wish the renewed master sword didn't break so much, kinda undercuts how much of an ordeal it was restoring it
RIGHT dude it legit makes me so mad it still breaks
it literally should never break again@@stephenwillis2751
The triforce explanation was insane. Gannon could be both good and evil if thought about right. Great job.
What do you mean by that? Can you elaborate? I'm very interested in general in the whole "Ganondorf may not be that bad" thing.
I had a strong gut feeling that the triforce didn't disapear in TotK, thanks Moxie for putting the pieces of the puzzle together!
It most definetly didn't as it seems to be "locked away" within the last remaining descendant of the goddess for as of yet unknown reasons. As Monster Maze suggested in a theory video he made a few weeks before the release of Tears of the Kingdom there's the possibility that the original Link of Skyward Sword carried the full Triforce within his spirit from the very moment he was born and only after he completed the trials given to him by Hylia did he achieve a _balanced heart_ in order to obtain all 3 pieces.
It's certainly possible that the current Zelda is going through the same scenario as the original Hero.
ofc i gotchu
It's always been my head canon that the various sets of 3 sacred items needed to power-up or unlock the Master Sword were derived from one another; ie, the Sacred Stones were probably forged in the Sacred Flames, and the Pendants of Virtue are just re-settings of what remained of the Sacred Stones by the time of ALttP's Imprisoning War.
I love the idea that the Divine Beasts are a subtle reference to the Four Giants.
I'm still on the idea that the Triforce is hidden away in the silent realm, most likely under the Mother Goddess Statue, and has manifested through spiritual essence to power up those who hold its virtues.
ooooh i love the idea of her like phasing it out of the sacred realm. Thanks Lord for being a channel member btw!
@moxiewatts of course. I've never joined a channel and I like ALL your videos and collaborations. I like to consider myself a Hyrule archeologist and researcher 😅 so I eat well on your channel. 😊😁
Apparently the musical cue that occurred in BotW when the four Divine Beasts power-up to fire at Ganon is even related to the Oath to Order... so it's increasingly tempting to think there's a weird connection going on here.
If Termina is a dark alternate Hyrule, then Hyrule theoretically had to have something the giants were based off of right?@@QuasarEE
Frikkin' thank you for mentioning the Triforce appearances in BotW and TotK. All these other videos saying "we never see the Triforce in the newer games" got me shouting at the screen "YES WE DO ZELDA HAS IT IN BOTH GAMES YOU CAN PLAINLY SEE IT???"
Fuck'n god tier copy read yet again. It's so much fun to listen to you. And the video editing in these is absolutely unreal. Your videos are so good it's ridiculous.
THANKS SO MUCH WORLDRUMMER
YOURE THE BEST!!
In Raurus throne room, you can find a depiction of the triforce+ crest of hylia on the stained glass. Though it is VERY stylized.
yes! i noticed this one too, but i didnt wanna go over every single appearance because it didnt super pertain to the point~~ but good looking out homie.
Mother Mox, feeding the children again. 🫶
yes bb
Is it the whole Triforce, or just the Triforce of Wisdom? In BotW, she wielded the whole thing.
okay so this is really unclear because sometimes it appearing can mean that you possess the virtues of that piece and other times it appears because you have all three? its super unclear unfortunately. check out pg 14 of the encyclopedia...idk whatcha thinking homie??
@@moxiewatts I think it should be the whole thing, because in BotW she seems to have proven of harboring all three virtues; them being in balance, and being able to unleash her powers (the selfless act to save Link was her Courage moment, the last virtue missing).
Her only having the Wisdom part in TotK would raise the questions of
1) why? (did she lose those virtues? If so, what did she do to do so?)
and
2) what happened to the other two parts? Did they go to their "rightful" owners (Ganondorf and Link usually)? Which doesn't seem to be the case, because we see neither Ganondorf nor Link having any sort of mark. Did they shatter? Like the Courage piece does in Wind Waker?
I think we just can't clearly see it and it's the whole thing (or at least I hope).
One thing that I noticed and have not seen a single CZcams creator mention it, including here.
Is that the Triforce is on RuRu’s wife “sorry forgot her name “ but it is On her hand/ arm in the cutscene where Zelda first meets them 2 and she reaches out to Zelda to comfort her saying everything will be alright
I had no idea that the great plateau zelda was rare i stumbled upon her about a month ago.
i never finished the lucky clover quest until i saw it on the easter egg hunters channel
Ive noticed in a few playthroughs when link swings the master sword, for a second it extends into almost the shape of a wing, then goes back. I wonder what that means
i think it actually changes to the shape of the fuse, try it with an axe type fuse or like a spear. you'll see what i mean.
Bumping this one at work, big ups 🤘
aye thanks cato youre the best
@@moxiewattsamazing vid, shoutout to your music choices btw. I appreciate that when you compared music to Link's hums you used unique renditions like the in game harp performance version of SS' theme. Ive been tired of hearing official themes in a lot of vids lol, this was refreshing
Tbh, I was bummed out by the fact that the Eighth Heroine never existed but a man who gave the Seven their powers. I had this idea for a future Zelda title that compliments that in the context of the Hyrulean lore. Seven maidens with distinct powers and Princess Zelda being the secret eighth maiden with all of the powers combined with the might of the Triforce of Wisdom. But since Tears of the Kingdom brought this mystery to its end, I didn’t explore my original idea very much because the Eighth Heroine was no vai at all…
Who knows? Maybe there will be a time for Nintendo to build up more characterization in a newer entry with Zelda (preferably her Smash Ultimate appearance) having more of a focus in Link’s journey than ever.
ive been thinking about this because honestly i think there is a sage of shadow...cause satori *was* a sage...
Ok I love the regularity of your content Moxie.... (Moxtent?)
You've made Zelda lore more, accessible and easily understandible to newcomers. As well as being enthusiastic and kool about old skool lore : D
Keep being you. Plz :)
(I'm old skool since Link To The Past XD )
MOXTENT
Awesome video, I had no idea that the Triforce was glowing on Zelda's hand in that scene. Well you go a sub from me!
awe thanks so much homie~~
So quick thought. What if Zelda did have the triforce and her wish was that the master sword be repaired and the symbol we see on her hand is her wish being granted.
The memory is called “Zelda’s wish” so honestly that tracks.
I love your videos! Listen to them every night before sleep, I wish you had more specifically made for sleep though! Your voice is perfectly calming 😊
next one i swear
ILL MAKE IT SO BORING JUST FOR U
@@moxiewatts thank god 🙏
Yaaas thanks for the upload dude! 🤘
More to come!
My mind is still blown after watching the "Power of the Gods" segment. Can we infer that Zelda somehow inherited the full Triforce? Maybe Zelda's mother was killed because she knew that Zelda was going to inherit the full powers of the Triforce and that would've been the greatest obstacle for Calamity Ganon? Question is, how she got the full Triforce?? Who knows lol
Great video! I just hope that if we get a 3rd game as a continuation we could maybe see what happens with the 8th heroin. Think about it, like with time travel involved, to complete the circle. It would be great to have a new paradox like with the song of storms and at the end find out that our link was the 8th heroin all this time… fingers crossed!!!
i really hope there is a third game. this game feels like a big act 2 of a screenplay.
@@moxiewattshow? Ganondorf is dead dead like if comes back it’s gonna be some soap opera like thing
The explanations were great and references to other videos were spot on but the best part was the memes!
The Triforce of Memes was active in the making of this video
yessir
Because the Tingle hat is inside the Eighth heroine statue, i like to think Tingle was the one who helped the seven heroines. I have no other evidence aside from the hood, but i choose to believe that because it's funny
aye you know, that *could* be some version of link
just like grandpa in albw
Fantastic as always Mox
aw thanks Alduin! I appreciate the support
@moxie, best Zelda lullaby was the one at the end of TotK
what did i say
I don't know, but it sounded melancholy... like howling at twilight@@moxiewatts
Of course we can’t hear anything the tune link hums when he cooks is overshadowed by the constant clanking of the food.
(thats why i respectfully requested headphones twice
I hope you touch on the idea of portals connecting the Temples of Time
Y'know now i will touch on this anthony. anything specifically you want me to analyze homie??
@@moxiewatts I've been wanting to formalize my theories connecting the portals used for the Shrines of Light, and the idea that the different Temples of Time being connected by portals makes aligning the different maps of Hyrule easier. The Hyrule Cathedral, which is positioned in Castle Town where the Ocarina of Time Temple of time would be, has a footprint very much like the Temple of Time on the Great Plateau.
(There is also an interesting side note, that many Zoni abilities, shrine functions, and even time manipulation, could all be manipulation through higher dimensions. Making things grow and shrink, passing through solid objects, floating without any apparent supports. And, of course, portals, or should I worm holes. But, that's my science geek mind at work.)
I'm currently working on my map analysis, between the different games. I hope to be able to go through my findings this weekend, in game, to see what I can find. If you would like the maps I am putting together, message me on Discord, and I will send you what I have, so far. Other wise, I hope to go public with my full theory by the end of the weekend.
Moxie I have an out of the box theory, that Ganondorf isn't the re-incarnation of Demise, but the other way around... It's the only explanation I can think about for the reason for Demise's scar on his forehead... It's in the same place as Ganondorf's stolen secret stone
Ouh! Yes! I like those kinds of thoughts! ❤
That one cutscene everyone missed where the Triforce was right there and people missed and was like "Where's the Triforce?" oh it's there, you just have to look really closely. xD
Just like the Triforce, the Zonai Secret Stones doesn't distinguish good from evil, only enhancing the users existing magic abilities and transforms them into more powerful beings. Ganondorf being a powerful warlock being able to use magic to create multiple decoys at once to do his bidding and much more, while also having exceptional combat abilities to rival Link.
bro you dont even know how many people i mentioned this to and they had no freaking clue
@@moxiewatts Same same, I saw a few others asking where it was at and I mentioned as well.
18:30 Mox: Perhaps bringing back one of the most feared characters within the Zelda series.
Me: Ghirahim!
YESSIR
Excellent and awesome video. I finished the game about a week and a half ago, and its a pleasure to me to watch Zeldas videos again.
You have my suscribe and my like. Greetings from El Salvador.
Is it weird that I haven’t completed the gazette quest line or acquired the yiga set, yet still found Zelda where King Rhoam was?
i only did it cause i needed the footage
WAIT IT AINT REQUIRED?? RIP.
@@moxiewatts looks like it isn't. Loved your video!
Just finished TOTK this week and now I get to catch up on videos from you and HG!
fuggg hearing dragon roost island was like a time machine
*nostalgic* in title
***instant hit of nostalgia***
i gotchu boo
@moxiewatts have you seen the back of the Bargainer Statue under Mount Lanayru? I think it looks a lot like the Giants from Majora's Mask. It's not a perfect one to one but even the upper lip is pointy like the Giants!
yes! I have a couple different cuts of my bargainer theory going into extensive detail if you are interested!

@moxiewatts THANK YOU!
I feel like Koume and Kotake from ocarina of time are the daughters of twin rova from tears of the kingdom
what gives you that feel? whats your headcanon? i dont have one yet
@@moxiewatts this is post skyward sword and pre Minish and twin rova is only 400 years old, so my head cannon is that koume and kotake were born around the same era as Minish cap and koume and kotake in the tears of the kingdom memories are their mother's. So twin rova from ocarina of time would be the direct daughter of the two we see in tears of the kingdom
You can't know for sure the eighth heroine is a Link.
I was not implying that it is for sure "a Link" BUT with the information that a voi was helping the gerudo and that we know that "a link" has helped them prior, it's a nice hint. Also is this hero absent from his "broken sword" and the sages, which is a nice reference to the Link we see in totk. 😊
But yes! We don't know for sure.
can't wait for the temple of time video :)
me either~~ any thoughts on it??
im still writing but going away back home for the weekend.
@@moxiewatts not really. I have to say, I was a little sad when I started playing totK and the temple of time looked exaclty the same as in botw. Before release, we could guess that the citizens started rebuilding Hyrule after the calamity due to trailers. So I was hoping that maybe the temple of time would look at least a little bit different, and that maybe we would find more story there. Like, we all know that it was a very important building in the past and now it seems like everyone in Hyrule has forgotten about it. Maybe it is connected to what you said about the triforce in your video since it also seems to have been forgotton? Then again, the temple of time is on the high plateau and maybe it is difficult for Hylians to go up there? Idk, I am really looking forward to your theory. OoT is my childhood game, so the temple of time always gives me nostalgic feelings :)
can't have hyrule bathed in insufferable light and no darkness... think totk dlc is gonna have to go school demise innit
innit
either that or i have to have an explanation for the freaking poes
Speculation:
I've seen a lot of burnout on TOTK lately. It's understandable why. However, as I may be entirely wrong on this, I'll pose something I've been puzzling on for some time now: Hyrule in TOTK is not yet same as in BOTW. There are some reasons as to why I think this:
1. The calamity, as far as I know, is never mentioned
2. The sheikah tech is missing
3. The guardian obelisks surrounding the castle are missing
It's really weird about how all that stuff can just up and disappear. However, some additional points include armor Link had acquired going to bizarre places. For instance, the Zora Greaves going from his inventory to the ancient Zora Waterworks.
I recognize that the game is about a closed loop, but there is something more to it that I don't think people can see. I may be optimistic here but I can't see the Zelda team losing faith in a beloved franchise, not even because of Fujibayashi. That said, I do think there is a timeline placement, there is cannonicity and continuity from the old games, and there is an important distinction between what TOTK is doing and what people perceive to be a reboot of the series.
Allow me to explain, and I have limited proof but I'll try to list what I can:
1. OOT's Temple of Time doesn't exist anymore, as the Great Plateau's temple, while it does resemble its counterpart, was constructed during the Era of Decline during the Imprisoning War, prior to Minish Cap, hence the castle like gates found on the side if the plateau. The ToT in OOT was crumbling in TP. It would never have survived into the Era of the Wilds. Even if those aren't the same temples, it's evident the 2nd temple of time was long gone by the time of TP. Same goes for the 1st in the Lanayru Desert.
2. The Tunics of Past Heroes are found in shrine-like areas in the Depths, without Amiibo or DLC. This implies that, at the very least, the Eras of the Sky, Twilight, the Great Sea, Time and Legend took place. However, we don't see the tunic of the Hero of Men from the Minish Cap. This ignores the various weapons found from those eras, as they point to the same conclusion.
3. In Skyward Sword, we never actually see the founding of the Kingdom of Hyrule. It isn't even spoken of. However, the Kingdom technically existed prior to SS, as Hylia ruled in those days. Whether the land was called Hyrule or not, we don't know. Now, that said, King Rauru and Queen Sonia could very well have founded the Kingdom of Hyrule as we know it today. I currently believe the Hyrule they founded was established prior to Minish Cap. The Zonai would have quickly died off as Rauru and Mineru are the last of their kind. They had descended from the heavens, where another advanced tribe dwelled. I believe it to not be far off to say the Zonai are the Wind Tribe. Not to mention that the Picori *could* possibly be the descendants of Hylians that stayed in Skyloft that came down later, with the Picori Blade. Odd that we don't see the ancient Four Sword in TOTK, too...
Side speculation:
The Master Sword link wields in BOTW/TOTK isn't the true Master Sword, tempered by the Goddess Flames. Instead, it is a lesser sword that can break, can be touched by evil while also being able to seal evil away: the Picori Blade. There isn't a ton of evidence for that, though, if any. The Master Sword in TP is longer than the one in the newer games. It also can't break or run out of energy. None of the previous appearances, save for BOTW, show the Master Sword breaking. All of a sudden, now it does something akin to breaking: losing so much energy after a few swings that it becomes useless and disappears entirely. In Wind Waker, you could use the sword still as a sword. You just had to power it up again and it did more damage.
Those are my thoughts. Sorry if they sound random and disconnected. I feel like the community is missing something major that the developers failed at communicating properly. Hope this provides some sort of faith to come back.
koume and kotake's names being on ganondorf's weapons is such an odd detail to me. i mean on one hand it's most definitely just a cool surface level reference. they've done it once before in wind waker too, ganondorf's twin swords each have one of their names. on the other hand, from a story/lore perspective it just seems... incredibly sentimental, which isn't fitting for ganondorf at ALL lmao. the only thing i could think of making sense here is that maybe koume and kotake made the weapons themselves and inscribed their names on them
wym?? ganondorf has always loved his mommies.
idk they were the ones who trained him in his magical abilities, and i think he feels devotion to that.
Actually in windows waker the master sword had to be reawakened to be uses on ganondorf,skyward sword wasn't the only other instance where the sword needed and upgrade,and idk if it counts but in twilight princess the master sword was blessed by the twilight before facing Ganon and sword glows with that energy in battle with ganon
So that was the imprisoning war :0
"IMPRISIONING WAR"
Is the sword not broke at the beginning of Minish cap?
Minish cap features the making of the four sword i believe~ the next major title with the Master Sword is Ocarina of Time
13:40 wind waker too
HONESTLY i thought about that after posting...
RIP
@@moxiewatts whats imo weird, is that the master sword lost its ability to destroy evil on contact (like stated in OoT or seen in TP)
while in BotW & TotK it just breaks
3:49 If you ever skip that cutscene, then you are a monster.
one time and one time only
@@moxiewatts You monster.
The only musucs from past games I can detect is dragoon roost in rito village, and a touch of traditional Zora domain.
Link I can not hear him hum at all!!!
He never hums no mater how much I cook..
wym??
also, you should check out Zelda music theory, he will blow your freaking mind with references!
@@moxiewatts my ears can not pick up most of the music references and the cooking music over powers links humming so i never hear his humming
You know, with all of your Easter Egg references, I kinda want to bring back up my bizarre Kirby and Zelda connections exaggeration. I’m fully aware you disapprove having the two franchises connected to one another, but here’s what I’m hoping Nintendo ought to do for a future Zelda. Bringing back the leviathan fossils and the dark skeletons located in the underground beneath them, and have an entire side quest revolving three mages who shared a bond with them. First you locate the leviathans and if you look around, you find the weapons once wielded by the missing mages. However, once you venture into the underground, you’ll stumble across monuments that read the “Song of Supplication” inscripted into them. If you don’t know, the song is the Mage Sisters’ prayer song for Void Termina as well as their own battle themes, representing their (initial) dark devotion for wrath and ruin. (Zan Partizanne’s theme is different from the other theme for Francisca and Flamberge…) Should Princess Zelda ever be playable, the player can dress her up in the Mage Sisters’ robes while Link carries their weapons: the Francisca, the Flamberge, and the Partisan.
Link’s Awakening had obvious Kirby and Mario references all over the game. It’d be interesting to see them do it again.
you and these Kirby references Tom
I never even played this...but now youre making me wanna
There are 2 songs i like, song from rito and colgera.
Isn't there multiple king gleokks? I didn't understand ur point there tbh
yeah, but its referencing the dungeon.
i can see your point tho
@@moxiewatts oooh sorry. Also not sure why yt posted the comment twice...
Love your videos but wow this video is meme overload
Every once in a while I get an itch to meme. Look, just cause I can do slow mysterious pacing doesnt mean I cant meme
How did the triforce become apart of Zelda?
I'm not exactly sure, but here's my idea.
the triforce was together in both the downfall and adult timeline...so wot if in the child timeline, after Ganondorf was eliminated (pg 14 encyclopedia triforce timeline) then Link would have likely surrendered his piece to Zelda. This might have been in a past life, maybe after the events of twilight princess. its just a hunch tho, but thats what lorulean and i have spoken about.
Isn't there multiple king gleokks? I didn't get that one tbh...
fair enough
Aren't you the one who once plastered her videos all over Discord? And you unnecessarily use Japanese text despite them saying the same as the official English constantly. Just saying, it doesn't make the theory or video sound more factual or intellectual.
ok and??
@@moxiewatts Just saying, it comes off as rather weeby and even gives an impression of being jumped up. But that's just me 🤷🏻♂️
And dumping links to one's own CZcams videos on random forums isn't exactly viewed well by many.
