    It's finally here - 60 Minutes of Useless Information about TotK! It took me countless many more hours than one to research, write, record, and edit this video, so I hope you enjoy. Tears of the Kingdom is a super fun game, and I think it gets a bad shake because Breath of the Wild came first and Nintendo focused more on gameplay than story, but I had a a blast creating this series. This is the series finale. Maybe more useless info someday, but for now I'm moving on to other video ideas. Thanks so much for watching and reading!!

    fun fact: to my knowledge, there are 4 lightroots that arent exactly below their shrine counterparts on the surface - the three labyrinth lightroots, and the kawakarut lightroot in the west. my best guess as to why that lightroot isnt directly under its shrine counterpart is that the shrine on the surface is on the edge of a pond, meaning that the area directly under it would be surrounded, if not inside, impassable wall.

    42:36 We don't know who transformed into these dragons. There's no reason to think it was the goddesses specifically who have been the most abstract beings in the whole series. Zelda transformed into a light dragon, Ganondorf a dark dragon, these could perfectly have been sages or some sort of mages with a penchant for a specific element. In fact a stronger suggestion is that the new elemental tunics in TOTK belonged to these individuals.

    • @infiniteedge4427
      @infiniteedge4427 Před měsícem +12

      There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest the 3 dragons are draconified like Zelda was. They're explicitly stated to have served Hylia since ancient times, given they are attendants of the springs they are either reincarnations of the SS Dragons or an entirely unique set of dragons that also fall under Hylia's command.
      The outfits are explicitly used in worship of the dragons, they mimic them they did not become them.

    • @mkjjoe
      @mkjjoe Před měsícem +17

      @@infiniteedge4427 I don't suggest this must be the case, but in the context of this game it doesn't seem far fetched that like two other dragons we've witnessed, the other three likely were people at some point. Zelda and Ganondorf keep some of their traits once transformed (Zelda's thin face, blonde hair and light "skin" / the Demon King's red hair, massive build and dark "skin"). The other three have a snout, mane and scales that remind of Rauru and Mineru. It could just be an esthetic connection (beings close to the goddesses may share traits like the longer ears), or some Zonai could have transformed, or who knows maybe the Zonai are descendants from dragons.
      The game never says whether anyone else draconified but that goes both ways, descriptions only mention that the tunics they were used in ancient rituals and that the dragons are from "ancient times", which leaves room for anything. The dragons could have been divine manifestations at any point, or people who worshiped previous dragons or Hylia herself, or something else entirely.

      @@mkjjoe The Zonai have no connection to Hylia, yet the dragons do, furthermore the outfits show us the Zonai worshipped the dragons, This is contradictory to the idea of Draconification being a forbidden act that goes against the Zonai's culture, why would the Zonai worship the draconified if such an act was repulsive enough to them that it was forbidden? furthermore the Zonai are only shown to have had 7 stones upon descending into Hyrule, this means there can't be more than 7 after the Zonai made contact.

      @@infiniteedge4427 I don't see why we'd conclude any of that, my point is that it's all open as of now. We don't know why the Zonai would / wouldn't worship draconified people and forbid the act. Maybe it's blasphemy to take a stone for oneself without merit or a sacred duty, maybe it's more about losing one's mind. Who said the Zonai have no connection to Hylia? The mural depicts 7 that Rauru is known to have access to, that doesn't mean there weren't others at another point and as implied by Zelda and then Ganondorf, Rauru's ancestors visited the surface before him. The ancient dragons could have been from any time.
      As for the physical similarities it's one thing to be skeptical but to pretend there's no resemblance at all seems a bit much, again why close off a possibility when the connection is so easy to make. And the overall theme of the dragons and Zelda/Ganondorf looking the way they do as dragons, I don't see how you'd skip that. But so be it.

      @OtakuUnitedStudio Před měsícem +6

      @@infiniteedge4427 I don't think we can confidently say the Zonai have NO connection to Hylia. It's possible the dragons were Sages that served Hylia before swallowing their stones and becoming dragons, possibly when she died sealing Demise away as The Imprisoned. The Sacred Stones aren't necessarily connected to the Zonai either except that Rauru got hold of several and gifted them to his closest allies as Sages. They weren't necessarily created by the Zonai and could have existed far longer for all we know. But the fact that Recall, a time-based power, is specifically tied to Sonia and Zelda, who are supposed to be of Hylia's bloodline, there is at least SOME connection since Hylia herself is associated with time-based powers like in Skyward Sword.

      I personally feel like AoC should be treated as a canon Zelda game that take place in its own splinter timeline. But things like character traits, locations, and certain events in AoC were based on BOTW's creative notes and the game itself was closely monitored by Nintendo staff. Fujibayashi and Aonuma were both supervisors on the game and had to give approval on a lot of aspects. I wouldn't be surprised of Aonuma was asked if Rhoam could be a claymore specialist and liked the idea enough to make it canon.

    Basically, what I can say is that the full mural appeared for me once I completed the Dragon's Tears quest, which makes sense as two of them depict scenes only seen in memories. I liked watching the whole thing after a play session.
    What I would find rarer and unexplained would be that sometimes, the title screen would show a completely black mural at random, with only the wall pillars remaining.

    7:56 In addition to the Great Plateau shrines, there is also another Zonai shrine that can be seen for a brief moment in the "Birth of the Demon King" cutscene down in Gerudo Canyon at the exact spot where the Jee Noh shrine appears in BotW. There definitely seems to be some kind of deliberate connection between the Sheikah shrines and the original Zonai shrines.
    34:01 I was also very confused at first about why the shirt wasn't obtained before the game's title was played, but I think they wanted to ensure Link was shirtless for his first skydive in order to make a parallel with his last one in the game's finale.

    For the Ganondorf mural fact, I'm pretty sure the eyes are concave. Concave eyes are an optical illusion that makes it look like the eyes of the painting or carving are moving and following you around. Another example in a video game is Shara Ishvalda in Monster Hunter World, who's inspired by Hindu artwork which commonly uses concave eyes.
    Also, just because Age of Calamity isn't canon doesn't mean the Royal Claymore isn't a reference to it. Besides, while the events are non-canon, the characters are still very much their same original selves, so we can assume that King Rhoam did have an affinity for royal claymores in-lore, unless Nintendo specifically states othrwise.

      I'd always assumed the geoglyphs were dormant in the ground after so many centuries and the sky islands and light dragon were just high up in the sky where they weren't visible, and that the upheaval and Ganondorf awakening sort of reactivated them, causing the geoglyphs to come back to the surface and the sky islands and light dragon to come closer to the ground. The murals at the beginning of the game remain unchanged after Zelda travels back in time, so I thought this was an instance of time travel that was always meant to happen, and that Zelda going back to the past was a piece of history that had always happened, thus keeping to a single timeline

    21:38 it’s not a glitch that the geoglyph doesn’t “stay lined up” with the land, its by design. The geoglyphs are scale invariable on the map, so they stay the same size even as you zoom in/out on the map. Even if they aligned it perfectly at a specific scale, as soon as you zoom in or out it would no longer appear aligned, instead appearing relatively warped compared to the real glyph as seen on the actual overworld.
    The alternative would be the geoglyphs being scale variable just like the map itself, making them appear much smaller when not zoomed in. I guess they tried both and the scale invariable presentation gave the best result
