Breath of the Wild's four champions were fundamental to the entire game's existence; and because Link can free their spirits by defeating the Blight Ganons that were plaguing their Divine Beasts, we are able to give their dead souls peace at the end of the game. But could it be that something rather malicious was keeping them here in our realm? Join me to find out!

EDIT: Well folks, the newest trailer shows these Blights already fighting the champions 100 years ago. Still though, this was a fun theory to make! Will you be playing the game in 2 days??
Same she is over powered and so cool
Ravioli is the best
Mipha
You know I would say daruk
I love urbosa too. She is just awesome.
"Why would a E10+ game show us dead bodies?"
_Monks in shrines_
They look like if the avatar kept aging in the iceberg
Monk Maz Koshia: Am I a joke to you?
I consider them ghosts more than anything.
At least the monks had themselves mummified and peacefully pass away. The Champions, you'd get to see their rotten, distorted, mangled, corpses in poses of agony. If they didn't decay completely.
._.
Regarding the idea that "it's strange that Ganon would send each blight to fight the champion who uses that same element"
Well no, not really.
It's a typical case of "I'm you, but better."
Sounds like something revali would say to link haha
ye ganon was just flexing as usual
It also the main power of Link : he can adapt in any situation when a champion cant
Me: ( *Laughing at Revali while beating Windblight Ganon in my underwear with a stick* )
that's accurate especially since this theory has multiple holes
“I mean yes, we have good puppers running around, and Beedle...”
Me:*Remembers that time I didn’t sell Beedle that energetic rhino beetle*
Bro you speak the truth! Beedle is a total closet psychopath who acts super fun and nice all the time so nobody suspects he's committed several murders in his pursuit of rugged rhino beatles to fuel his freaky bug obsessed addiction problem
@@sorrydudeimhungrytoo wow
beedle turns into beetle
Beedle POV:welp guess I''ll die.
*brutal squish/smoosh*
Link POV: hyah(oh look a beetle(beedle) that I killed
*squishes/smooshes again*
Link:hehehe
Not to mention he maliciously drops you out of his flying shop via a trap door by the exit if you don't buy anything in Skyward Sword. Man's out for blood.
@@krisd2518 once I was a little to forceful with the controls and accidentally walked to the door of the airship without buying anything, boy was I in for a nasty surprise. Beedle is a savage
I think that the blights had no elemental power to begin with, but after defeating the champions the malice absorbed their dead bodies and honed and concentrated their powers and twisted them to their own dark purposes. As for the spirits, I would say they were trapped inside the blights, forced to help defeat link against their will.
Then how are we able to fight the Blights in their full elemental power in AoC? Since they never killed the Champions in that timeline.
@@BoltBlades12 we dont know if Aoc is canon
@@padmanabharajudommaraju960
Actually, it is.
Eiji Aonumu literally said it takes place 100 years before BotW.
The first cutscene literally showcases Zelda awakening her power to save Link from the Guardian onslaught.
- Which inadvertently awakens Terrako and you know the rest.
@@padmanabharajudommaraju960 it is it’s canon that the egg did travel back that has said to be true so he will always travel back in time

“Daruk, mipha, urbosa, and that dumb flying one.”
Had me laughing VERY hard
And yet, the dumb flying one has what is arguably the best theme.
What got me was how nonchalantly he said it, while the music just abruptly stopped with that sound, which I can't remember the proper name of. He just said it with the exact same tone as the rest of the sentence, as if it was completely normal.
Yes
But why’s he a dumb one?
Caught me off guard, laughed so hard!
This theory got real dark, real fast.
I wasn’t ready to be traumatized today, and yet here we are.
I was literally looking for a theory that would lighten my mood I just watched terminator and I was already traumatized
Imagine watching this right after you wake up.

"Why would an E10+ game show us dead bodies?"

@James Gravil So does the Majora's Mask.
* TP flashbacks of Link drowning painfully *
@@elli_senfsaat Ooh, that's tough.
Yep
Me, thinks back to when I see no way out of malice... those were the days...
I mean, this is a solid theory. Especially if you take into account that each of the champions state that their spirits are now free after you defeat the blights.
Well except for the fact that we have a confirmed location of King Rhoam's grave.
playing devil's advocate here but what if it was an empty grave people do sometimes do this if they can't find the body.
@@Sirdudee which would explain why he was able to walk around and chop wood and stuff as the old man. He’s not physically possessed the way the champions are. His spirit is tied to this world by his emotions. Their spirits were tied to this world by their possessed corpses 🤷🏻♂️
@@Sirdudee a grave doesnt mean the body is in it. It could just be symbolic.
@@josephalbertson8834 I agree to that but we really do have confirmation of his body in the Hyrule Historia of botw. Forgot what it was called.
We did NOT get to witness the champions' deaths, but we got a sick fan-fic.
This is a really good theory and kinda dark like if this is true then Link is forced to kill the champions that were his friends and it's kinda sad in mipha's case cuz she wanted to marry link one day only to be killed by the man she hoped would be her husband
@@TheGamerClown well, they were all dead already. Link kills what became of them after their death
There is a fanfiction of this theory online it's not that far into the story and it's a linked universe( where multiple links from different games join together to defeat a huge bad guy) it's one of my favorites
@@shelliblossom8953 Where's the link?
@gogogoat495 I think it got removed its called alone we fight by silvermistanimelover on ao3
*Warning very sad
After doing all 4 of the divine beast i wish they had it so that, in the deepest and darkest parts of each divine beasts, the champions were bound to the wall by malice almost dead being forcefully kept alive in order to use them to control the beasts. Although this would be way to dark for this game.
this is honestly what i expected to see when i first played lol
Why would Ganon even do this though? He doesn't need to pilot the divine beasts; he just needs to make sure no one else pilots them.
@@user-pd5iw4mm6e oh yeah, sorry. I didn’t think of that
That sounds so stranger things and I love that show but that is disgusting 😭🤣
If the warrior game is canon they did fight them so there not using their bodies
I think the blight's hair is what had made me question this initially, since fireblight has spiked hair tufty things like Daruk, windblight has braides like Ravioli, waterblight has a lock on left and right (fins), then hair flowing down behind (tail) like Mipha, then thunderblight has longish hair like Urbosa
The Calamity Ganon you fight beneath the castle also has hair and a beard similar in appearance to King Rhoam.
@@geoffreyrichards6079 well his grave is on the great plateu so...
@@tdc3477 Who says that the Blights were the bodies? They might only be imitations.
Though if this theory is indeed true, the gravestone on the Great Plateau might only be a memorial marker. I mean, the King was never shown escaping the castle when Calamity Ganon emerged.
@@geoffreyrichards6079 but the body could have been carried away we dont know
*_I SAID SOMETHING SIMILAR YO!_* dude they even resemble each other, you agree!
the interesting thing is...i can actually sort of see this as a possibility. the blights all KINDA match their champions' physique, and the champion ability part lines up. maybe that's why it's so important that the blights are masked; to hide the grotesquely decayed and malice-coated faces of the deceased champions within.
That’s it’s im traumatized
Edit:holy smokes thanks for the likes
Wait, huh.... HOLY SHIT
I always thought they looked like decaying corpses but this... huuhhh... those poor champions ;__;
Gory but ok!
So they're just blight-covered Redeads contolled by Calamity Ganon?
edit: apparently malice doesn't need to corrupt to give form
Us: Will we see the Champions die?
Terrako: Well yes, but actually no.
Well to be honest when I was playing age of calamity. I noticed that the blight ganons seemed to have more of an element aura that they do in age of calamity. Perhaps calamity Gannon cloned the champions in blights but the blights were only temporary. And in order to make these blights permanent, the blights had to defeat and absorb each champion.
That just makes it more dark
That makes a lot of sense, actually
@@fairyflight8436 That’s just how dark the game is.
@@fairyflight8436 it's honestly not too bad, there's been worse in the Zelda series before
I wasn’t very interested in what happened with their bodies until I recall the SOS messages in each divine beast’s soundtracks I listened recently. I think basic forms of the blights with a copy of their abilities fought the champions, the champions were defeated and the blights got inside them before the last heartbeat to absorb their full powers. It’s pretty dark to imagine the details of how the champions’ bodies ended after the fight but from my point of view the malice parts completing the missing armor parts show us the image. For example, Waterblight Ganon’s legs are severed, it’s torso is ripped from one side, has a little thing of a head and the right arm and other parts are made of pure malice giving me the impression of how damaged Mipha’s body was.
"The king didn't have any powers" OBJECTION! HE COULD TURN INTO A BOAT, GOOD SIR! He also has the power over dinner.
He also has the Triforce of Courage to protect him
*b o a t*
OBJECTION! Then why didn't he use the Triforce to save Hyrule? * slams desk * Because he didn't have it! TAKE THAT!
@@kitkatboard umm... the triforce of courage is Link... who protects Zelda, the reincarnation of Hylia, not some random dude that owns a kingdom
@@aidenlosee Are you familiar with the Triforce of Shame, aka CDI Zelda games ?
That's why Ganon wasn't able to fully control de Divine Beasts: because the champions, their pilots, were resisting his mind control
A hundred years of fighting, yeesh that is a long time
Well.. he was kinda busy fighting Zelda and also, he doesn't really control things, he makes then kill things. He's not an intelligent being
@@antimony3964 it was malice not the true ganon. Just the malice oozing from his corpse below hyrule castle.
@@Spriktor Well, it wasn't Ganondorf. Ganon is pretty much always a mindless pig monster of some sort, so Calamity Ganon fits right in
@@antimony3964 yes but the calamity Ganon is made out of the malice oozing out of ganondorf
This could also be supported by the fact that Calamity Ganon possessing the Dragon Spirit that protects the Shrine of Wisdom, which you have to free for that shrine quest
Age Of Calamity is another timeline, I guess the Hero Of Time isn’t the only timeline creator. An egg boi is.
*Unsheathes sword* The timeline must be corrected.
Don't touch the child !
@@alexisdavis577 *Crushes egg boi* I'm sorry you were saying something?
No, just a what if like the first Hyrule Warriors game
@@Freelancer837
No, AoC is canon to the timeline.
The first scene literally is of Zelda awakening her power to save Link from the Guardian onslaught. Which inadvertently awakens Terrako, who jumps back in time, and you know the rest.
This actually makes a lot of sense considering the fact that if I remember correctly each Divine Beast had to be piloted by that individual Champion that was chosen for them so no one else including Gannon could have controlled them without controlling their body
Does the master cycle zero count as Link divine beast ? The unicorn bike that made horse useless ... I hate the fact that you cant call your horse without the ancient sheikah horse armor
@@luthiamoonlightfrqc2905 there's rumors that is and I personally think that it is but the creators haven't said one way or the other
@@luthiamoonlightfrqc2905 ya, it isnt the best looking armor and completely hides the horses mane. It's too bad it wasnt just a skill you got to be able to call them in. I also wish that instead of just teleporting to you, it would come running from somewhere like epona did.
Remeber that the blights stole the beast tho and took controll of the beasts
@@patrickrobinson8897 yeah but to do that ganon would have had to send in those blights to kill them and then absorb their bodies in order to control the Beasts and then the process of absorbing their bodies and killing them they gained some of their abilities

Yeah I was already thinking this theory upon seeing the thumbnail
I dont get it.
@@RobocopStealerOfFridges Thunderblight and Urbosa have a concerning number of design similarities.
Almost like...
While Age of Calamity disproves this theory, I believe it can be reworked. It’s likely that the Blights are meant to be _recreations_ of the Champions, like Dark Link, with a little bit of Phantom Ganon mixed with them.
Remember the Malice Champions you fight in HWAoC? The Blights might be suped-up versions of them.
AoC is considered non canon by a lot
But its stated to be canon @@BioAlpha5
imagine a version of waterblight Ganon that was capable of healing itself
Yikes
You mean Master Mode Waterblight?
@@naboriruta5291 that shits freaky. I still havent beaten master mode champions ballad waterblight where u only get limited weapons. And I consider myself a pro, can beat gold labels easy squeezy
Imagine how dark the game would be if it was like Twilight Princess and you could use the wolf vision thing to see ghosts...
And in the divine beasts, if you go in the boss chamber before starting the fight, you can see their bodies just standing there...
That would not be cool. Everyone is dead it would be like walking through a maze of ghosts.
what if in the sequel there is something similar to this, because the teal color we can see basically symbolizes spirits, we can see a scene of link wearing the ominous hand?? which means it probably has some sort of special property, and we also know from the developers that in the game they're reusing the "overworld' and we'll be able to explore it, just a bit different. there have been spirit worlds and things similar in past zelda games ex. wolf link. so what if we get to be in some sort of spirit realm and see the champions at some point, or other spirits? (sorry that I rambled and if this doesn't make sense lmao)
@@iveryari that would be super cool

"What happened to the champion's bodies?" I dont know... maybe after one hundred years their bodies and bones just became fertilizer
Perhaps this is what Gannon wanted all along, a way to use Link and fuse with him so that if he did resurrect, he would have to fight a combined force. I like this theory! The idea of the champions being fused with their blight Ganons is pretty cool. Keep it up!!
Also i remember Mipha saying "I am finally free" when you defeat waterblight gannon. So your theory does make sense
Yeah but the game tells you they are stuck inside the divine beasts.
@@mayoayo7107 the blights are also stuck in there too, after all, the blights dont come out until you activate the main control unit, almost as if the blights were also trapped inside the devine beast, waiting for link to return and activate the beasts to suprise attack him.
@@erosagape7944 the blights arent trapped in the divine beast, you fight them on hyrule castle if you dont free the divine beasts
@@ventura535 But maybe Calamity Ganon is the one that trapped them there, but when Link appears in his chamber, he summons them. He is in ultimate control.
Problem is this was before hirule warriors is a different time line but it travels back in times it shows the blights been more powerful can some explain how this would work
on my second playthrough I realized that all of the blights imitate the weapons of the champions, mipha’s trident and waterblights spear, urbosas shield and sword matches thunderblight...
my theory at the time was that the blights modeled themselves after the champions they faced since they were the only people they could reference when making their bodies...but who knows!
“Mipha, Daruk, Urbosa, and that dumb flying one” is my new favorite terminology for the champions
“If Age of Calamity does end up BEING canon”
Well that aged well.
You could say its aging was calamitous.
@@scarymeunster9095 no u fucking couldn't
Seems more like it aged poorly since it didn't happen
@@Freelancer837
It did. Just in another timeline
@@BoltBlades12 technically the CDI games are canon if we allow everything to be explained by alternate timelines.
i feel like Ganondorf had a direct agenda to prove when he sent the matching elemental blights to their respective champions. as can be told of typical villains who lust for power, revenge is a dish best served cold: meaning that ganon probably wanted to beat these new champions with their own strengths. just a thought.
Ganon is one dirty fighter

Me: how many dark theories is Nintendo hiding?
Nintendo: YES
It’s a BIIIIIIIIIIIGG YES
@Jonas Black Well that’s just a theory....
@Jonas Black The last one was straight up confirmed in Paper Mario.
However, the champions say that they we're defeated by the same thing at the start of the battle..
And like all game theories, they ignore the completely obvious thing that immediately disproves the theory and go full steam ahead anyway.
And in one more disproving addition: In the ballad of champions DLC you relive the fights of the champions against the blights.
@@RomulusvomWolfenblut Oh I didn't know that, I thought it was just battles using the gear of the champions specie's gear
@@LupeVods This was how it was presented game mechanic wise, but iirc it was implied that it was a kind of dream sequence where Link took the place of the champions in their fights against the blights from 100 years ago - otherwise it would not make much sense from a storyline point of view, as Link has already defeated the blights at that point in the story.
They are just possessed by those things. Those things’ motive is more like “join us”.
As Ursula from the little mermaid would say!
OH THESE POOR UNFORTUNATE SOOOUUULLLSSS !!!
This is a pretty interesting theory. I wonder, taking Hyrule Warriors into account, if they absorbed their bodies to fully take over the beasts after they died? Like they were formed by Ganon but the Champions just fueled them/kept them around for 100 years? I mean it makes sense that Ganon would take full advantage of all "resources", potential tools included?

@@BanditGames coward
I think that the blight ganons were sent to each divine beast as a way of “teasing” in a sense. Gannon most likely wanted to have them fight a better version of themselves, and likely did this because he knew the champions would be in their divine beasts. For example, Waterblight Gannon and Mipha both possess spears, but Waterblight Ganon’s has a much longer reach and can be regrown, unlike Mipha. All of them were essentially better versions of each champion that were sent to defeat each one of them.
It also just makes sense from a gameplay perspective. Capping off a water-based dungeon with a boss that uses a different element wouldn’t make much sense.
MaskedNintendoBandit: I have no idea how the king adds up into this
Calamity Ganon: literally has a beard
I imagine with Ganondorf reawakening his posessive power will increase and he can posess dead bodies and the dead champions' bodies will be bosses in BOTW2.
No God, no God please no, No, NOOOOO
I was picturing the same thing a while back.
As long as they don't revive, it's a good idea
They could have just had their souls for breakfast.
Well screw you
Haha “if it’s actually accurate to what happened 100 years ago”
Age of Calamity: Move over fellas you’re about to get Ex Machina
Therapist: Dont worry, Interloper Urbosa cant hurt you
Interloper Urbosa:
That was a really good theory but I somewhat feel like you're onto something. I think that Ganon split his power into those blights (which would be pretty obvious) but he made their skills a hard match for each champion (which is obvious too) but I feel like he made them *his* champions, who would take the divine beasts and battle the actual champions, so basically they were cheap knockoffs of the champions, that are literal modified copies sent to kill them and battle for control of the divine beasts in Ganons' name.
Another detail that may support this theory is that Link only reunites with the Champions' spirits AFTER he has beaten each Blight Ganon which combined with the Blights having pretty similiar fightning tactics to their respective Champion like you said would make this theory even more believable.
But at the start of the blights' fights the champions mention that the blights killed them

“and the dumb flying one”
sir you have gained yourself a sub
I would rather think that:
1. The Ancient robots turning against Hyrule was premeditated to an extent.
2. Only Daruk, Mipha, Revali, and Urbosa’s minds ever died after all, and their bodies were possessed by the four elemental Blight Ganons.
3. They have been living off the grid together since Link defeated Calamity Ganon and set them free.
Me: It's 3am let's go to sleep
MaskedNintendoBandit: what about _no_
Me: I don't need sleep, I need answers
Makes sense how each champion said my spirit's been trapped for a 100 years and now I'm free
Actually it doesn't make sense after the four champions straight up say they were defeated by the Blight Ganons.
@@diegomedina9637 okay, but before hyrule warriors was released, we simply could have blamed the blights refights "as the champions" as not being 100% accurate as we don't know for certain that they looked like that, but nowadays it's basically debunked and replaced with the sheikah tech running off malice, which might be ganondorf's soul or blood, OKAY, AM I READING THAT RIGHT AND IS IT A THEORY?
@@shadowsnake5133 Still. In Breath of the Wild, the champions react to the Blights as the ones who took them down 100 years ago in a way that tells you that's how they looked like even a hundred years ago, pretty much making this theory dead since 2017.
@@diegomedina9637 okay, but consider how bad people's memories are when they're 60 and how they were probably there so long that if they had children forms their minds probably wouldn't have remembered that, and it could have worked. I'm not saying you're wrong, that's obvious, but it wasn't outright debunked in the game itself, I mean they didn't seem to remember PUTTING THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS BEING UNDERNEATH HYRULE, MAYBE EVEN THE CASTLE ITSELF, so needless to say details that relate to things that took place at least 100 years ago aren't anybody's strong suits in this series, LIKE HOW DO YOU NOT MENTION THAT TO AT LEAST THE ROYAL FAMILY AND GUARDS, THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT?
@@shadowsnake5133 No. There's no saving this theory, it was dead on arrival the moment the champions (Specially Revali) more or less confirmed the Blights looked the same in the past and in the present.

I’m the same way, I love that he’s such a little shit 😂
Excuse me no he is a dumb bird else he wouldn't be so self obsessed
Wroooong decision
This would make sense. Harbinger Ganon DID take on a new form after killing Astor. So just maybe the champions were corrupted or absorbed by malice.
I think the champions are still trapped in the divine beasts. When the collections of malice that would become the blights entered the divide beasts, they read their programming and made corrupted copies of the masters of each divine beast to fool the hardware in each divine beast. The champions bodies needed to be preserved to make the divine beast still obedient, but the blights were pulling the strings. I think the bodies of the champions will come back in the second breath of the wild, after all, ruta stopped working in the end, and I believe the spirits returned to their divine beasts to reunite with the stasised bodies of each champion, kept alive, barely
What do you think @MaskedNintendoBandit
@Brick Stone well I actually don’t think it was the afterlife they were going to. After all, link kind of does that when he is teleported by shieka magic
Well the new botw 2 and prequel will change this lol
Ok cool
Good theory
This is actually an awesome theory assuming that malice can- halt aging/ decomposition (in the event of corpses) and/or keep the champions in a form of half-life for the entirety of the 100 yr gap. (The anti aging/ decomposition is because rito and gorons i believe can't live to be 100+ like the zora can) or if so it would be a rare occasion (because neither elder / chief recognize link calling him "champion descendant".)
But at least we get, salty’s gale is now ready
I lost it at “the dumb flying one.”
I was also not on board whatsoever, until I audibly GASPED at your “hear me out” moment!!
Urbosa is my favorite champion by far, she’s such a badass, a master of lighting, by far the strongest and cares for Zelda like a mother, not to mention the Attack on Vah Naboris’ theme is magnificent

I'm glad someone actually talked about this, I've had this theory for a little over a year and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it has merit. I also personally believe that Calamity Ganon's physical form is derived from King Rhoam's body. Great video MaskedNintendoBandit!
That never occurred to me. I really just thought the blights fought fire with fire, and the champions do imply they fought these things before, not just that they were possessed. Waterblight has better range than Mipha. Fireblight was stronger than Daruk. Windblight has excellent anti air abilities to use against Ravali. Thunderblight could outspeed Urbosa.
"This probably sounds like a fever dream, so let me explai-"
"As a doctor, I know the importance of therapy..."
Seeing you dance around saying the blights are zombi champions for the first half of the video was more interesting than the idea of the blights being zombie champions.
Love the double wink at the choosing the leader of the country part.
to be honest, even after playing age of calamity, i partially agree with this theory. The blights actually do have quite a few differences, especially in appearance, to botw, so i think that its more like their spirits were merged/trapped in the originals
For the sake of variety, I thought it’d be interesting if the blights either resembled corrupted versions of their respective race or take the forms of famous monsters associated with their realm.
Windblight: Roc
Thunderblight: Iron Knuckle
Water Blight: Gyorg, Octoroc or classic Zora. The fish monsters from a link to the past.
Fire Blight: Dodongo.
Thoughts?
While it is an interesting theory, it's been a hundred years since the champions have been killed. I'm pretty certain their bodies have decayed by the time link wakes up
True, but if that's the case, you should've at least been able to find their bones or at least some ashes in their place. Cause that's what happens-dust we were made of, and to dust we become after a long period of time, at least after the skeleton phase..
"Mipha, daruk, urbosa, and the dumb flying one"
I NEARLY DIED AT THAT
Even tho it’s been confirmed that the champions did fight the blights themselves. It’s been confirmed in age of calamity that the calamity ganon can absorb entities like harbringer ganon did to Astor. So it is extremely possible that the blights absorbed the champions and made them stronger.
The spirit and physical world really sounds like Avatar....

You do realize that Avatar didn’t invent the physical and spirit world, right?
Avatar was a great series tho
Omg so true
HE KNEW ABOUT THE ALTERNATE TIMELINE
I know I'm quite late, but, one major flaw with your, 'Ganon possessed the champions' theory is that, Calamity Ganon can freely control anything he throws his malice at, meaning he easily could have taken over the divine beasts, by just possessing the terminals with malice.
By far the best piece of evidence for this i think you missed was Naydra, the dragon of wisdom, being corrupted and controlled by malice. We know malice is capable of taking over extremely powerful entities which begs the question: If Ganon didn't corrupt the champions themselves, why not?
This thumbnail just made my jaw drop
Bro, first time I SEE this and it makes so much sense, as we know from the game description on the skulls that come out from the Malice inside the beasts, Malice reanimates corpses and absorbs properties from them, as read from the Lizard and the other 2 skulls, innate anger or traits from them are still represented after being reanimated. It's a theory that works with the Powers of the champions and their traits, mind blown
Man, I wish Nintendo had made this hella dark and had the Blights be the remains and stolen powers of the Champions, keeping them anchored and enslaved to this world. That would of been really tragic and very, very dark.
However this theory isnantly falls apart when you consider that each champion states that they had already fought and been defeated by this exact enemy, and are constantly warning Link of it's abilities in-fight as if from experience, further proving that they and the Blights are their own seperete entity.
And the idea that the Blights have the same powers as the Champions is misleading because it's actually the _other_ way around. They are actually possessed portrayals of the Divine Beasts' and their powers. And it makes sense because Ganon hasn't been possessing people in this game. He's been corrupting technology and overriding their systems.
But I think that the idea that he created monsters who have similarities to the Champions' weapon of choice and some of their abilities that align with their Beasts' abilities (Waterblight and Mipha don't share water attacks or healing abilities tho. Well, if you don't count AoC anyway) was supposed to be a slap in the face to the Champions. Like, it's so brutal and cheeky on Gannon's part, 'cause he basically "replaced" them as his versions of the pilots of the divine beasts, in both the copycat and literal sense. It was Ganon's way to further shame and dishoner his hated enemies, and to relish their disposal.
Cool theory tho. Despite the holes I do think it would of made for a much cooler and awfully sinister and tragic game if they had gone somewhere along that route.
This is one of your best theories! It's so sad but it must be true.
The blights must have consumed the bodies of the champions,the way ganon consumed even guardians to make a body.
Well, the champions mention that the blights are what killed them (the bird idiot says he wasn't trying hard, which makes him look dumber), so I don't think they are created from the champions, although they still could have absorbed their bodies afterward
We've never seen Ganon/Ganondorf with a beard and the one in the castle does have a thick, full beard... like the King of Hyrule
Edit: Ok, yeah, two Ganondorf's have a beard but it's not nearly as long and thick as this ones and it's almost identical to the King's.
That is weird
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess's Ganondorf

Fun fact:Mipha actually was swallowed by bag ruta since one of the zoras said ‘’back then 100 years ago when MIPHA WAS SWALLOWED’’
Thank you. I am glad you made this video because it truly proves that I am just smart and not crazy. I had this exact same theory during my encounter with thunderblight
Id like to say, its most likely that the King died on his throne. If you look at the King's throne it is destroyed while the Queen's (The unoccupied one) was untouched
Well, the cattle was ground zero; everyone there when Ganon returned was annihilated
Maybe Ganon tried to sit in it?
My man, bird Vegeta - I mean Revali doesn't deserve this disrespect 😂. Also, great theory!
he does
@ZelldFinn he isn’t cocky just to bully revali he does this because he is jealous of their strength and the strength of the other heroes and believes that if he isn’t cocky he will be bullied by the others. Its kinda sad
MNB - They were killed by the Ganons
ALSO MNB - Thats all well and good
Ok I haven’t seen your videos in a couple weeks (been watchin a lotta horror stuff) but I’ve watched three in like the last two day and when I say these make me so happy. I couldn’t help but giggle when you just popped up at the start of this video 😂😂😂. And the first video I came back too I verbally said “Aye its my booy” and was just so happy.
I hope we don't see the champions die... But I also want to see their fight and how they died...
They might do a TIPICAL family-friendly thing: show us their defeat but cut the scene 1 second before they are killed
We saw them defeated in the Champion's Ballad DLC.
Me: stop focusing on Zelda’s-
You: 5:47
Me: touché.
Calamity Ganon has King Rhome’s beard and hair
I had my own theory on how the champions died to the blight ganons
Calamity Gannon knew how skilled they were in combat
He had to make four blights that mimicked their movesets and did so in a more strong way
This could explain why each blight weapon are similar with the weapons,
Also maybe the blights were SO Strong back then because calamity ganon had full control over the divine beasts
Since that calamity ganon was sealed, he couldn’t use the divine beasts, so they stood there, had nothing to do, but when calamity ganon regained some of his power, he could control them, but the blights were weaker,
This could explain why the blights were so easy
Yea no
@@kingmiller1982 whatever
@@NormalGuy985 So that would mean they got rusty from being inactive for so long... That's not completely out of question imo
@@ankaplanka yea but there is one problem
Age of calamity shows that the divine beasts weren’t rusty at all besides the guardians can stay for a hundred years even 10 thousand years without being rusty as well as the divine beasts,
I wouldn't be sad to find out Revali was the first to die in battle against the Blights.
Just gonna leave a heart here-
Poor Ravioli...
There's a video that theorizes that revali was the last one to die
@@jlucas19 Share a link if you can, I dont think I've seen/heard of that theory, sounds intriguing
I am pretty sure there if you listen to the music in each divine beast (can't remember if it is as soon as the boss starts or when you enter) you can hear morse code for SOS play. This happens in each beast. All but Medoh. His takes longer because Revali is over confident. The other three start ...--... (music). Medoh starts like so (music) ...--... (music). I think, maybe, possibly
the thing is that I noticed you don't usually see their Spirits until you destroy the blights
Im working on a theory right now about Life Energy thanks to doing an alchemy video on BotW before Tears came out and that Interview with Fujibayashi talking about "Feng Shui" and uh you are def on to something. I rememeber when i first watched this, SOMETHING proved this wrong? but maybe that was AoC and lot of TotK proves that is not canon.
But with how Life Energy can be converted from one form to another, and everything has it.... people, plants animals, buildings, the land itself, buildings, EVERYTHING. Ganondorf is sucking it out of everything and itno him.
Im actually looking for a video explaining how the Spirits of the Champions is how the Divine Beasts are ACTUALLY supposed to be piloted and thats why when alive they had some trouble as seen in daruks memory cutscene. Just wish i could find that video.
“And the dumb flying one” PURE GOLD I SPIT OUT MY WATER AND CHOKED ON THE LAUGHTER CLAWING ITS WAY OUT OF ME
Hey I'm not dumb >:-(
The new Hyrule Warriors art of Rhoam shows he might have some sort of sacred power. But MAN this theory was really thrilling. Dark but thrilling. 🙃
I know this vid is 2 years old, but after defeating Maz Koshia, I feel like the blights are the corrupted versions of the monks who tested the other champions.
My first thought was "Hid away somewhere in the divine beast probably.."
