    If you want to find the Dorephan Guardian yourself, look in the small pond just south of the Lanayru Tower! It's the closest Guardian to Zora's Domain, found just off the Zora River!

      When you mentioned the stories usually surrounding royalty were you thinking of any concerning the Royal Family in England? Also, I was wondering how King Dorephan got his scar. When I read that story on the stone I was amazed. I wonder if he could still do that, but he might be too old now

    Guardians attacking a bomb shop actually make sense when you think about it. Since the assault most likely happened before the Ancient Arrows were invented, shooting a Guardian in the eye with a _Bomb_ Arrow would have done the most damage to it. Destroy a shop that mass-produces gunpowder, and cripple the creation of Bomb Arrows.

    • @supersmashlegend2177

      What I think is the Guardians shot the lazer at some sort of bomb shop and it exploded the shop destroying the Guardians plus it could have been kakariko villages bomb shop thats why its not exactly in the village because if the shop were to explode it could destroy other shops and house's around it would also be destroyed.

      That also explains why bomb arrows can be really hard out in the wild. All of the main producers were killed during the calamity.
      But I do think ancient arrows would have already exited. They are ancient, after all. But they're also hard to create and expensive, so that might be why few people had them.

    One of my favorite story moments in BotW was recovering the last memory, partly because I realized you could tell exactly what was going on based on the positions of the Guardians at the moment they were frozen. Also, they appear less frequently toward the edges of the map, indicating they spread out from a central location. You could probably track their progress with some investigative effort. This also uncovers a great mystery: the guardians avoid the presently existing towns, and there's no clear explanation for why.

Some of the boats probably would have been sunken by the guardians firing at them too. What finally took them out is a mystery, maybe archers trying to protect the fleeing people.

    death mountain wasn't safe, he had to go elsewhere. he heard of a place, surrounded by mountains, he was going there when he saw a little, untouched house, he rushed inside hoping to find someone but... it was empty, a bomb shop. he left the store, disheartened when three red lasers pointed at him, he rushed back inside and slammed the door locked. he heard them, closer, louder, they were trying to get in the house.
    he looked around for a way out, and indeed did he find a way out. in a cupboard was a bottle of alchohol, a glass, and a box of matches. his way out sat before him, he sat down behind the counter, poured a glass, and lit a nearby bomb. a guardian's eye peered through a window, the beeping of its laser locking onto him. he raised his glass, "cheers" he chuckled before downing the drink, the fuse getting ever closer to its base.

Other burning ruins suggest other outpost or small fortifications are made as well in an attempt to slow the machines down.

    Do you think the Dragon "statue" at the zonai ruins - where you find the spring of courage - was actually supposed to be a divine beast?

That perhaps the power failed, wasn't the right kind or simply evaporated/leaked due to faulty systems to keep it in functioning condition. Walking along it alone tells you it's sizable enough to get away with being one and is half buried in the base of the dueling peaks - in which there is a npc that claims a Dragon split in half mind you, though she could've easily meant Farosh or one of the other two dragons currently roaming hyrule. The zonai ruins looks like it's in a giant hole, almost more like a huge crater looking at it from above and one layer has several deposits of luminous stones

    8:00, In a Specific Cut-Scene at Hyrule Bridge Link’s Father is Mentioned. Perhaps Link’s Father lived in that house. seeing that Guardians were coming from the house he Gathered his weapons and fired a Bomb arrow from long range, Perhaps even hitting a barrel of something explosive, causing the house to Explode but taking all three Guardians.

      It is interesting that they're only around religious places on the plateau, the Temple and the Abbey. Why didn't they go for the Shrine of Resurrection?

    • @WideMouth
      @WideMouth 4 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      @BonaparteBardithion The Shrine of Resurrection is on top of a cliff and blocked by a Sheikah stone door. Since the Great Plateau is so elevated, it’s likely that only a few Gaurdians managed to get up there.
      Also, since Guardians appear to go after Hylians, they most likely went after structures like the Temple of Time because people hid in them after the great calamity. People likely fought back (resulting in some Gaurdians being destroyed), but the Gaurdians likely relocated once everyone on the Great Plateau was killed or fled.
      Maybe King Rhoam was one of the Hylians who fled to the Great Plateau and died at the hands of Guardians. This would explain why his ghost is there. The stone structure at the top of Mount Hylia (which is on the Great Plateau) is hinted at being the king’s grave in BotW’s game files.

    I think the two Guardians in the Sanctum of Hyrule Castle on the ceiling might've been precautions like the 5 Towers?
    They were moved (or firstly built) in the castle, and placed in the room ABOVE the Sanctum, then would rotate downwards when danger was present in the Sanctum below them.
    They would fall down, and land on their limbs, lasers primed, and defend the Royal Family, Honored Guests, and the Royal Guards.

    3:23 In my opinion, the person in question most likely didn’t just put down his spear. Based on the positioning, my assumption is that he most likely slammed the spear into one of the Guardian’s limbs, most likely aiming to embed it into the ground, most likely not permanently considering the Guardian’s strength, but long enough for him to lodge the arrow into its eye while it temporarily couldn’t back up, since most of the time when you combat guardians they attempt to crawl back while aiming at you to maintain proper distance due to its ranged attacks
