I'm at 43 seconds in but I already have a question. I think this is going the route of the Windwaker Hyrule being what is now The Depths in TOTK. But - why would the Zonai show up from wherever they're from and be like "I declare this HYRULE." Wasn't it named after Hylia? How do they know Hylia and why would they pick the exact same namesake to declare their newly claimed kingdom?

1:25 not exactly, this isn't *really* knowledge-based discovery (slash knowledge based unlocks). Here, for actions performed in the game, you get points, which unlock things in the world. The points are correlated with knowledge, but they are still in-game points. In other games, it is *only* knowledge that matters, which means that even if you reset your save data and lose all progress, you still keep the knowledge and get to do something differently. I'm being kind of pedantic right now, but I think it's meaningfully different.

Don't ask how i know 16:15 24:27 I'll take the zoom as it's own easter egg cool video dude

I think it makes sense if SS, BOTW, and TOTK are a trilogy. When thinking about TOTK’s past, I think of Randy’s words from scream 3 “true trilogys are all about going back to the beginning and discovering something that we thought was true, wasn’t true.”

Ok. Where do the Ooccoo come in? Like Skyloft, the City in the Sky is inhabited and built by a Race that is Closest to the Gods, even above Hylians. Where do these Ooccoo fit in?

can you explain your argument for the name zelda? i've rewatched that part of the video several times and i'm having trouble making it click in my brain

Looking at the last game in each timeline, the land of Hyrule was abandoned in favor of the northern lands by Zelda II, largely forgotten by Wind Waker (the lands of Spirits and Good being far enough away to not matter much); and while Hyrule seems to be doing okay in TP, 4SA is tacked on after it, and that Hyrule doesn’t look anything like our favorite land, likely making it a different actual landmass. So I think something happens that causes people to abandon Hyrule in the child timeline too. It wouldn’t cause any paradoxes with people already living in Hyrule after the timeliness merged, since only monsters (and maybe the Zora) should be living there

Aonuma and Fujibayashi confirmed this in the No DLC Interview basically

Personally I’m a big fan of XIII-2’s take on Moogled.

I could appreciate hard mode if it didn't make items unusable. Using grenades, molotovs, gravity orbs, and other such things is just so fun, especially when you time it just right to sweep up a huge group of enemies. I've seen some people do grenade only runs on easy / normal. The problem with hard mode? You really can't do an item-exclusive run: because it bans the use of items. In banning items; they unintentionally removed players abilities to self impose item-only challenges upon themselves, which I think actively hurts the combat. And if ya know what you're doing? Grenade only runs are actually really fun. Nothing warms a warriors heart then linin' em up like dominoes and seeing an fragmenting fireball knock em down.

A friend of mine was left handed until an injury permanently got rid of the dexterity in her left hand. She started off left handed only to become more dexterous in her right hand. With me I could just get an replacement hand... but she's not built like me... She was born, whereas I was made.

I see myself in cait sith.

I think your argument for where ToTK falls is very well supported by this: If it was after Skyward Sword and not before / after BoTW, Demise would not be reincarnate through Ganondorf in all those other games because he isn't dead until Link kills his dragon form at the end of ToTK.

I hate that they keep doing this shit

what if the zonai are from the twilight realm?

From what devs said this whole botw stuff and its past happens long after all the games before it which are legend even in time of rauru the zonai. Also this society collapse in more primitive state is even supported by real life theories of civilizations before the icea age collapsing and then we have our history today which we say in textbooks first civs are mesopotamia and indus and we "dsicvoered" farming and such 10-12k yrs ago etc, as if humans before then just lived in caves and nothing else, which today with carbon dating etc is being questioned. there is also a story of a great flood in real life from cultures all over world that never met, just like flood in zelda, a lot of their historiography is influenced by real life stuff to.

Ganondorf Dragmire?? Da hell??? he has a last name??

You assume too much about the lore.

Zelda=Dragon=Hylia=🤯

Thank you so much! I’ve always wanted to use Cat Shit in Rebirth, but there was a learning curve I didn’t have time to experiment with. I knew he had a unique playstyle and you explained it so well! I love that all the characters have significance in terms of playstyle and variety. I usually use Cloud, Tifa and Yuffie, with Yuffie as my main.

Ganon gets stabbed in the head in multiple Games, Ocarina, Wind Waker, Tears, all have Ganon get Stabbed in the head. While Zelda 1, Link to the Past, and BOTW Have final blow with Silver/Light Arrows. Twilight has a deathblow to the chest/stomach. Most other battles its just sword swipes. I wonder if its pattern by game devs or just personal choice.

Sonia looks like a combination of Zelda and Garudo looks.

Man, why my man Hope catching strays.

WARNING: COMMENT CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR LINK'S AWAKENING idk about putting too much stock into the names of places from the botw/totk Hyrule. There are a ton of places on the map that are directly named after locations from Link's Awakening, a game that took place on an island that did not exist. There's really only 3 possible explanations for why those names exist in Hyrule. Either Link, in his dream, used familiar names for all of the places on Koholint Island (but that just begs the question as to why Link never wondered why this foreign island has all the same names as places in Hyrule). The second option is that, for whatever reason, places in Hyrule needed names, Link somehow got tasked with that, and he just decided to name them all after places he went to in this weird dream he had one time. The last option is that these places are all named after various legends/stories however that wouldn't necessarily mean that all of the associated legends/stories are actually true. Of course the reality is that it's all just fan service but we're talking about lore so that's not a good enough answer. Also Zelda's time travel also creates a new sacred stone because she picks up Rauru's stone, travels back in time with it and meets Rauru, who still has his stone. And yea the second stone DOES exist in the future because it was already in the light dragon's guts but then it goes back to there being only 1 stone after Ganondorf wakes up and Zelda goes back in time. Oh great, now I'm more confused about it...

isit possible that the golden goddesses were some ancient zonai that had more power, and them "departing" was them becoming dragons and passing the cloud barrier until botw? i dont have faith in this theory myself, but itd be fun to think/talk about.

did not expect to see the word "standardbulletspiralvomit" in this video

The groosenator bit really made me laugh

I always took Rauru's line to be playful, like a dad teasing his kid

The more I think about it, the refounding idea isn't all that farfetched. It reminds me of how the Mesopotamian civilizations played out. Particularly the Sumerian empire. It went through several iterations and changes. Some of those feel like a reset button, a refounding. Or how the various Chinese dynasties came and went. Our own history is marked with civs that came and went. And thanks to recorded history only being a thing for a small chunk of the time that Homo Sapiens has existed, we are missing so much of our own history. There are many cultures and peoples who didn't leave any writing or recorded history behind. We fan only piece together so much with the relics they left us. It's too similar to our own history to be a coincidence. There's so many instances of societal collapses. All it would take for Hyrule is something like the Toba Catastrophe or something else that's just as impacful and you'd have the catalyst for societal collapse and eventual reformation. The similarities to our own history is too obvious for me to ignore.

It actually DEFCON 1 not 5, 1 is war is active and 5 is full peace.

The zora live in the ocean in majoras mask though. Salt water wouldn't hurt them at all...

I'm late to this tears of the kingdom stuff why is a llama furry married to a regular woman

I'm glad we both had the same experience with the void fruit, eating it after dying on br... floor 2 because we wanted to check if we could walk off the ledge, then assumed the locusts were optional collectibles, and ended up thankful that we got to see the best damn bad ending ever while practicing for getting to the good

Amazing video and editing. After falling down the void stranger rabbit hole, I'm glad you contributed to the puzzle community

The Pressured state is sooo important to the magic. It gives the player a constant competing choice, anchors a ton of enemy variety, and lets the devs balance foes between unflinching cinderblocks and comical punching bags. There's so much awesome design to cover here, I'm glad that someone is putting in God's work.

I always treat each game as its own story, or legend if you will. Unless stated by Nintendo that this game is a direct sequel of that game, I don't mind about the timeline at all.

I still love coming back to this one, Wiz. You called the Zonai Hylia connection very early, nice one!

Fromsoft making Undertale is just Fear and Hunger. This is if Yoko Taro made Undertale. After seeing the whole game though, that was pretty good. Sad that there's been maybe 4 people talking about this game on all of youtube.

10 minutes to say, "I'm right, you're wrong." The point trying to be made against a timeline is simple, if ineloquent. The non sequential games do not necessarily adhere to a strict linear story that histories the world. It's more like a, ahem, legend, that is being told all throughout history and time with many narrators having many versions. A bit like religion. Most denominations of Christianity are very similar with some putting more emphasis on the importance of certain people or events. Catholics and Mother Mary for example. Zelda games, with exception, could be interpreted similarly. The making of a time-line in and of itself was controversial and from what I remember, they refused the idea of one for a long time. Of course there are sequential events. The argument against it is that, it doesn't matter that much and the current, should be allowed to stray from whatever predicates it. Which as a lore nerd, bothers me, but it is a valid take on the whole thing. It's not that there is no time-line, it's an argument against its relevancy. As the time-line comes into question with every release and the fact that there are 3 different ones just to make it all make sense, leans heavily toward it being an unimportant afterthought by its creator. People are simply echoing this point of view.
