Watching Vortexxy's videos gives us the Zelda series we always hoped for. She does such a good job at telling stories that you can picture every event like it was happening. And her explanations help to understand things like why Termina had no Zelda. She had such a beautiful and calming voice, perfect for these tales, making every viewing a special experience.
One thing you could have added is that after the goddesses had forsaken termina, the stone tower temple was remade to mock them (hence all of the upside down triforces, and the disrespectful face with a hand pointing upwards.) The goddesses countered by flipping the tower upside down (both making the tower point back down at ikana, and flipping the triforce designs so they faced upwards.)
+Duelist Mudkip thats a really important detail that zelda theorists never mention the Stone Temple ideed seems to be flipped upside down i love your theory
Heh, I wouldn't go that far. Yeah, it is the source of all these problems, but it's not aware of them. Page 70 of _Hyrule Historia_ actually states that "the Triforce does not distinguish between good and evil." The manual of A Link to the Past also says this, but I'm not exactly counting it as canon; do not ask why. There are possibly a couple more sources, but I can't be bothered to find them. It is the greed in man's - and subsequently demons' - hearts that is the true villain, not the Triforce itself.
Chaos89P True, but still i can't really blame the Lorulians for destroying their Triforce, since it seems like a really good idea if it weren't for the "destroying the foundations of time and space" thing
Apollo9898LPs The problem is nobody knows why the Triforce was made in the first place (source: Skyward Sword). Another source (I cannot remember what it is off the top of my head) claims that it was an accident, much like Lorule and Termina. I honestly have no clue as to why destroying the Triforce basically ruined Lorule itself, as I agree that it was done with the best of intentions. Maybe Miyamoto and Aonuma will shed some light on this? ... I doubt it. Maybe destroying the Triforce simultaneously destroyed the Loruleans' faith? The Lorulean Philosopher said something similar. Sounds like something Vortex should look into.
I honestly think you're the best Zelda theorist on youtube. Your theories are always logical and thought provoking, clicking nicely with the canon. You go into a lot of in-game details, showing you do your research. Your presentation is also the most pleasant to watch; good video editing, a clear yet calm voice and well formulated lines. Je Nederlandse accent is bijna niet te horen.
+MissMusicNerd14 These theories are about Zelda lore. All of Game theory's theory's try to figure out how stuff would be if it were in real life (Most of the time). They cover completely different subjects, and the subject one person covers might be naturally more interesting than another, no matter how good they research or conclude.
There's so many things I never knew about Hyrule and the history of everything, thank you I just found your channel and am saddened about learning what happened to you. Rest in peace the true goddess of hyrule.
I binge watched all of your theory videos when I first subscribed to your channel (approx. 1mo ago) and have been highly anticipating your next theory vid! Out of all the Zelda Theory gurus, your work is my favorite; you put so much time and thought and factual evidence into your theories from game footage/Hyrule Historia/other sources. Not merely speculative opinion. Thanks again! Great work!
I'm not usually one to comment on this site but i'm a huge fan of your channel and felt I should share my support. I honestly believe that you're posting the most thoughtful and entertaining LOZ theory videos that can be found on all of TH-cam. Keep up the fantastic work! It's definitely appreciated!
+VortexxyGaming I agree with Jeremy and good to see you more active on YT lately. Great videos and the colabs you have done with other youtubers are amazing. Master Vortexxy :) funny but your some kind of legend yourself, you really tuned me, very randomly I must say, into the world of Zelda "theory" and made my already favorite serie of all time sooo much better.. so I say thanks for doing this and happy 30th Zelda's anniversary, cheers
+VortexxyGaming he's right you really do have the best theories. I have been looking for a theory to explain the origin of majora and the tribe. thanks to your video, I finally have found enough closure.
I wish Nintendo would confirm all of your theories as canon. They're so thorough, and fit things in the entire timeline smoothly. It also makes the timeline/overall franchise story line that much more compelling and interesting. Seriously, this video about the Majora's Mask is awesome. This video and your video about the Downfall Timeline are my favorites. All these theories connect all the back stories and lore to the Zelda Franchise smoothly.
This theory is incredible!!! It makes so much sense!! The only problems i had, though, were calling the goddess of Termina and Lorule "Termia" and "Lolia". It's logical to some extent, but not to a whole lot. Other than that, THIS THEORY WAS AMAZING!!! It's nice to see you doing videos again, Vortex. Keep up the awesome work, and Merry Christmas!!!
You've been MIA but when I saw GameOver Jesse's tweet about your next video I could NOT wait lol your theories are some of my favorites !!! I loved this one !!! Ahhhhh yaaaasssssss !
All of your theories are so great! They are really easy to understand, and very believable. They are also entertaining, and make me want to watch more! Thank you!
I love the Legend of Zelda, and your videos really bring back the nostalgia that I have with LoZ, I hope you keep making videos on LoZ because I think they're awesome and well made.
YAY! You're back. I thought the channel had shut down! I've watched EVERY SINGLE episode you've released and i love every single one. Could ypu do a theory on why Hyrule changes every 100 years and if the parralel universes change too? Thanks for the awesome vids!
Ahhhh Vortex that was so worth waiting for! I commented on you're last video and you told me you were working on something big.... But this is beautiful. Brings me right back to being really young and playing Zelda with my older two brothers. Keep releasing videos like this and I'll keep on sending the love haha
The Stone Tower is most likely where the ancient tribe originally worshipped Majora's Mask and did their hexing rituals, since that is where you find the statue of the mask. I've also seen theories stating the dimension where you fight Twinmold is where Majora's Mask was sealed. This might explain why the Ikana Kingdom was set up around the tower: to guard from those who would discover the Mask.
+SpotterX4 I always figured the realm where you fought Twinmold was Terminas Sacred realm. We see when Ganon is sent to the sacred realm with the Triforce of power it becomes corrupted and warped. I recon that's why the area you fight in is a desolate wasteland. The power of Majora was so great, it didn't just warp Terminas sacred realm, it destroyed it completely, till there was no green, and no life left anywhere and only a desert wasteland was left. The stone tower is most likely the parallel version of the Temple of Time, and the kingdom of Ikana was the parallel of the kingdom of Hyrule, before the war like vortex said.
+Brad D I thought of the Twinmold arena as the area where the foundations of the stone tower are when it isn't flipped. To me, the terminian sacred realm is the interior of the moon.
@@chazhulls2984 hm nice idea...but the moon was warped by Majoras Mask/ Skull Kid very recently, when the skull kid stole the mask from the Happy Mask Salesman and then went to Termina to wreak havoc. Majoras Mask has been possibly taken out of the Stone Tower Temple/ Sacred Realm of Twinmold by the Mask Salesman before. So that "Sacred Realm" where Twinmold remains is maybe the first and original one. Maybe the moon dimension is a mirrored replica of that Sacred Realm of Twinmold, but twisted to look happy, lush and peaceful instead of a barren, sandy wasteland?
I really like the way you present your theories. I feel like you focus on the types of things the game devs would, that being general story elements rather than specific items and places. I do wish you would more clearly indicate when your are talking about in-game canon facts vs the more purely speculative (such as there being a goddess named "Termina" who is a separate but equal being to Hylia). That said, it was really entertaining and it didn't feel like too many assumptions were made. Subbed!
Hey Vortex, I love your videos and after watching this one I decided to watch some of your older ones, particularly ones focusing on the Gorons and locations in/by Death Mountain. I began to wonder what happened to the Mogmas that had villages all over the volcano in Skyward Sword and why Volvagia would one day decide to eat all the Gorons who, being very stone-like, wouldn't make that great of a meal. I'm not really a theory creator like you, but do you think it is possible that the Gorons exterminated the Mogma? The Gorons of S.S. didn't have a region like the other races. They could have begun settling on Death Mountain and killing off the much weaker Mogmas. Volvagia may have been the offspring/creation of The Fire Dragon Eldin to protect the weaker Mogmas. This would explain why the Fire Temple was built in honor of Volvagia, by the Mogma, but was later re-purposed once the Gorons defeated him. When Volvagia is later revived by Ganondorf, there are no Mogma left to protect so he begins his revenge on the Gorons, who by this time don't even remember the Mogma.
+DrTimes99 I thought the Mogma race was meant to be the ancestor of the Geldman enemies from LttP, you know those humanoid mud monsters that pop up from the sand. It's not that we don't see them again, they just turned evil like the Zoras eventually did.
So glad you are making videos again. Your theories are so well done and at times I am so amazed you found so many details in the games. I look forward to more great videos! Please keep up the great work. I listened to your work on M Productions, pity you weren't voiced in it as it was another brilliant piece.
I really enjoy watching your content. You never seem to go out of the bounds we know as facts so your theories are most believable to me. Keep up the good work. ^-^
Vortex im a huge fan of your channel and i like how you use tangible evidence to speculate on possible explanations to the world of The legend of Zelda. Now over the past couple of months i stumbled across some video's of zelda theories on youtube and have been hooked ever since. I have began to piece together a cohesive theory on all matters regarding the origins of Hyrule, Hylia,Demise,Link and the creation of the triforce. I find skyward sword gave us more questions than answers so I have been watching videos non-stop to figure out the puzzle. ANYWAYYYYYY I have a few things to ask related to this video. Firstly at the start of the video where you show the footage of the Ocarina of time's Creation Story, there is some text along with the video that i have never seen or heard of before.It states that "When Hyrule was created by the 3 goddesses at the begining of time, there was certain side effects of its creation which Din, Nayru and Farore did not anticipate. As the three holy women breathed life into the world and chased away emptiness, their potent breath slipped through the tiny cracks in the folds of space and created millions of alternate worlds in the process". Im curious as to if that is canon or a theory? Near the end of your video when you discuss Lorule, the game's text states that because Lorule had wished its triforce out of existence that subsequently the world crumbled due to losing its foundation. Now given that we can agree that Lorule is a parallel universe and could potentially be one of many infinite universes that exist outiside of Hyrule, I think the same fate would fall upon Hyrule had they wish for the same thing. So I am curious on your thoughts as to why the goddesses created the triforce to then depart for the heavens and give it to hylia to protect? If they gave it to hylia to protect surely they were aware of the potential evil they could unleash upon the world so why even leave the triforce? I theorize that they left a piece of their divine power to protect the world from someone or something that was destroying the life that they create over the universe. I know that there is limited information regarding the the 3 golden goddesses and their purpose but i find that they're best place to start looking for answers. It seems to me that this is indicative of the fact that they had more work to do. I theorize that they departed to the "heavens" to keep exploring the unmapped universe and then create more life through out it. Lorule is an example of this, as the 3 goddesses left the triforce in that world also. I also theorize that their creations of land, life and law were getting in the way of some darkness or void that wanted to return the universe's lights off so it or they could return to their slumber.I'm sorry for this essay but i have a lot more i theories i held back to keep this short and sweet lol thanks for making awesome inspiring videos and keep up the good work
+jon The part about the creation of the world is from Zelda.com, it's what's written under the term "Termina". Whether it's canon or not is debated, but it IS featured on an official Nintendo website. For your second part, I think the Goddesses giving the world the Triforce knowing it could be used for good or evil, is simply to reinforce the aspect of choice. People can choose whether they obey the Goddesses (good) or defy them (evil) or be neutral (do nothing either side), and anything in between. The triforce symbolizes morality. The Goddesses don't particularly care whether good or evil triumphs, as long as balance prevails. As for them intervening during the Great Flood...I have a theory about that which I will be releasing at the end of this month ;)
One question, is there anywhere that the names of Lorule or Termina's goddesses are actually given? Or did you just use Termia and Lolia because they follow the same sort of naming scheme as Hylia and Hyrule? Great theory by the way, it makes sense why there are so many comparisons to be made between all three worlds.
people always seem to forget that Majora's Mask was originally from Hyrule. in the game, the happy mask salesman is attacked by the skull kid in the lost woods, and so is Link later on. Link doesn't reach Temina until after falling down the giant hollow tree.
But the Skull Kid may have attacked him for Majora's Mask on the way back to Hyrule. God knows how the Salesman manages to do that, but he seems to have arrived on Termina pretty safely.
the more assumptions you make, especially without basis, the more you are just grasping at straws, and loosing the chance of the theory being right. the fact remains, the mask salesman and link both were attacked by Skull Kid in the lost woods of Hyrule, not in Termina. And we only know vaguely where in the lost woods Link was attacked, near the big tree that has leads to Termina.
I was starting to worry about you xD You didn't upload a video in ages D: Very interesting theory, by the way! Attempts to explain some of the things that were still unclear in the game's established history.
Hi Vortex. I'm glad you finally uploaded a new theory. I want to warn you about a mistake I think other Zelda theorists have fallen into. It feels like they have started creating their own lore about the Zelda universe, since many videos out there feel like fanfiction instead of actual theories (#blamebongobongo). It's their use of indicative instead of conditonal, their excessive references about past theories (which make them sound like canon sources)... I am probably really picky, but I needed to let you know, since I love the way you tell your theories and don't want you to sound like them. By the way, I'm not talking about giving a name to the godesses, if you were wondering. That was funny. I hope this doesn't bother you in any way, it's just constructive criticism. Anyway, I'd like to share a hypothesis that has been running inside my head (an obvious one that probably someone has already talked about): Demise being from Lorule and coming to Hyrule searching for the Triforce after the Lorulean Triforce had been destroyed, and his sword being a corrupted Master Sword taken from a defeated hero...
love the video! One thing though, I think Demise and his demons existed in lorule before coming to hyrule. He has a warped master sword with lorule's triforce engraved on it.
@VortexxyGaming Hey Vortex, Just wanted you to know you are the best of Zelda theory videos I've found so far, both in quality and depth. Your videos are awesome and you're one of only a handful of TH-camrs I check on to make sure I didn't miss your newest video, I always find them interesting and entertaining. You keep being awesome :) I would also like to make a request about the fourth piece of the Triforce, though i'm sure a theory that popular is already on your mind, I still want to hear your thoughts on it.
I remember when this first came out I was getting a pizza when I saw the video 😂 but ever since then I would come back once one in while and it’s still one of my favorite videos, I see these theories as stories
Wow, that’s really cool! I was on a family holiday and my parents were out at dinner, so I had to sneak to put on my iPad on the internet and I watched this video in the bathroom to avoid being caught. I see these theories as stories as well, they really draw you into the universe of The Legend of Zelda. She was one of the best, Rest In Peace to her 💙
hey miss vortexxy, I have a question, please disregard if already answered; can your hylian overlay text be translated? if so, what does it mean? and if not, there´s a fun, if time consuming, idea for your overlay =)
It can be translated, but it's just nonsense like xycyuvjbljobdsdgj :p though I really like your suggestion of putting interesting messages in there haha
Vortexxy another great video not just because it looks great but also makes u think. In fact it has even cause me to rethink my previous theory on Termina and hyrule. I don't think there is an infinite number of parallel worlds but 3. As far as I know we have only see 3 worlds. Hyrule, Termina, and Lorule. What if the 3 goddesses actually each created a world of their own, connect thru 2 things. The triforce and the doorway to the other worlds in lost woods. It would actually make a lot of sense when u think about it. I mean where did the 3 goddesses go after creating creation. They could of split off each to its own world and becoming the goddess of time for that world. Lorule represent wisdom, Termina would be Power, and Hyrule representing hope. The triforce would be a tool to bind the 3 worlds together parallel to one another but never contacting one another outside of the portal in the lost woods of hyrule. However due to each goddess going to their own world the virtue the world was built upon was corrupted. Just a thought but could answer some questions
I recently discovered zelda theory and ive been watching your videos on loop all day so im happy to see youre still active! ive never really thought about the zelda story much just assumed things happen in a generic adventure game way and zelda games are the same game just remixed so to speak every time. the idea of all this lore and hidden history and timelines is so facsinating to me! anyway my theory about Fierce Deity Link could the link of Termania been a Sheikah? his hair is white and his eyes are also white but that seems to be due to the deity power of him instead of his actual features so if Link was Sheikah and the Sheikah were part of the Ikana Kingdom knowing both masks are of legend could it be that link would be leader of the shiekah during or before the rebellion from the goddesses and used the majoras mask thus being corrupted by the evil. another theory is he became the deity of his people the shiekah and rebelled against both the Royal family with his duties as a sheikah and the goddesses as his duty as hero of time. they then rejected them and built Stone Temple to spite them in a Tower of Babel way the goddess therefore had to seal away Both link and Majora in masks because there was no one to oppose them thats why the description of the mask says it could be just as evil as majora. this is all over the place but basically majoras mask is a timeline where link succumbs to the triforces pull of greed for power like ganon intresting enough the TP story of the interlopers shows link resisting before dissapearing like mist (his old self?) and becoming one of them
***** I do want to play, but other bills are keeping me from getting a new video game. I can barely pay for my school. When things get better for me, though, I'll be getting both the New 3DS for ALBW and Wii U for Zelda WWHD, TPHD and Zelda U!
Your theories are well researched and your videos are very well scripted and produced. Unlike any other LoZ videos I've seen, I feel like I come away from yours actually understanding the story and threads connecting the stories together. Anyone who says the LoZ story is a bunch of nonsense should be sent your way. Please keep up the great work! :-)
it is nonsense lol you can't just change the story drasticly after 20 years like fake goddesses demons and bullshit timelines that don't even add up because the fact is there is no timeline all the stories are multi world so it's the same link and Zelda and ganondorf with each game just different versions of them with some similarities within they're history
All this talk about the parallel worlds theory in zelda involving the sheikah has got me wondering about the draconids from pokemon and a certain ancient immortal king
Ooh, this one was good! It makes me think about the removal of depictions of the Triforce in the 3DS version of Majora's Mask. It seems like any knowledge of the Triforce in Termina has vanished along with the royal family and the Sheikah. Maybe Majora's Mask was a more tempting relic than the Triforce. The Triforce can't have been destroyed, at least. So it's either been forgotten and hidden well (unlike in Hyrule and Lorule), or protected some other way. Maybe broken into pieces and scattered like the Triforces of Courage and Wisdom in Wind Waker.
Hylia, Lolia, and Termia? Here’s an idea: Hylia = Nayru Lolia = Din Termia = Farore They made the 3 different versions of the same world, one for each of them.
Vortexxy!!!! Love all your Zelda Theory videos!!! You have great insight and deductive conclusions that bring new light on different aspects of the Zelda Universe! You have an alluring voice for narration that makes it so nice to listen to (: Plus i love how you say Valoo's and Guru Guru's name, its cute! You should dig into why the Heroes Shade can turn into a wolf. They say that when TP Link transforms for the first time its because of the Twilight influence in an area. If OOT Link never seemed to traverse the modern Hyrule (at least that we know of) while the Twilight energies infested it, how does his shell have that ability? Maybe something similiar to how Ganondorf can transform into Ganon, which is usually a beastial pig-like behemoth? What do you think?
The goddess of Zelda theories has returned!

The Stone Tower is most likely where the ancient tribe originally worshipped Majora's Mask and did their hexing rituals, since that is where you find the statue of the mask. I've also seen theories stating the dimension where you fight Twinmold is where Majora's Mask was sealed. This might explain why the Ikana Kingdom was set up around the tower: to guard from those who would discover the Mask.
+SpotterX4 I always figured the realm where you fought Twinmold was Terminas Sacred realm. We see when Ganon is sent to the sacred realm with the Triforce of power it becomes corrupted and warped. I recon that's why the area you fight in is a desolate wasteland. The power of Majora was so great, it didn't just warp Terminas sacred realm, it destroyed it completely, till there was no green, and no life left anywhere and only a desert wasteland was left. The stone tower is most likely the parallel version of the Temple of Time, and the kingdom of Ikana was the parallel of the kingdom of Hyrule, before the war like vortex said.
+Brad D I thought of the Twinmold arena as the area where the foundations of the stone tower are when it isn't flipped. To me, the terminian sacred realm is the interior of the moon.
@@chazhulls2984 hm nice idea...but the moon was warped by Majoras Mask/ Skull Kid very recently, when the skull kid stole the mask from the Happy Mask Salesman and then went to Termina to wreak havoc. Majoras Mask has been possibly taken out of the Stone Tower Temple/ Sacred Realm of Twinmold by the Mask Salesman before. So that "Sacred Realm" where Twinmold remains is maybe the first and original one. Maybe the moon dimension is a mirrored replica of that Sacred Realm of Twinmold, but twisted to look happy, lush and peaceful instead of a barren, sandy wasteland?
I really like the way you present your theories. I feel like you focus on the types of things the game devs would, that being general story elements rather than specific items and places. I do wish you would more clearly indicate when your are talking about in-game canon facts vs the more purely speculative (such as there being a goddess named "Termina" who is a separate but equal being to Hylia). That said, it was really entertaining and it didn't feel like too many assumptions were made. Subbed!
Your theories are way better than other channels. The 3month wait was worth it lol
YES! its felt like ages since a new video from you. im happy to see your still making these amazing Zelda videos :D
Hey Vortex, I love your videos and after watching this one I decided to watch some of your older ones, particularly ones focusing on the Gorons and locations in/by Death Mountain. I began to wonder what happened to the Mogmas that had villages all over the volcano in Skyward Sword and why Volvagia would one day decide to eat all the Gorons who, being very stone-like, wouldn't make that great of a meal.
I'm not really a theory creator like you, but do you think it is possible that the Gorons exterminated the Mogma? The Gorons of S.S. didn't have a region like the other races. They could have begun settling on Death Mountain and killing off the much weaker Mogmas. Volvagia may have been the offspring/creation of The Fire Dragon Eldin to protect the weaker Mogmas. This would explain why the Fire Temple was built in honor of Volvagia, by the Mogma, but was later re-purposed once the Gorons defeated him. When Volvagia is later revived by Ganondorf, there are no Mogma left to protect so he begins his revenge on the Gorons, who by this time don't even remember the Mogma.
+DrTimes99 I thought the Mogma race was meant to be the ancestor of the Geldman enemies from LttP, you know those humanoid mud monsters that pop up from the sand. It's not that we don't see them again, they just turned evil like the Zoras eventually did.
I'm glad you're back your theories are so thought provoking.
Your videos and editing keep getting better and better! These theories make so much sense yet boggle my mind... I absolutely love it! :D
One your best yet! Great job on the video vortexx!
I like how all your videos are subbed vortex it a very good thing for people that are hard of hearing like me
So glad you are making videos again. Your theories are so well done and at times I am so amazed you found so many details in the games. I look forward to more great videos! Please keep up the great work. I listened to your work on M Productions, pity you weren't voiced in it as it was another brilliant piece.
Hey just wana say glad to see you're back and i love your theories 😄 can't wait for the next one 😊
Holy shit! So good to see you back! Awesome Video and a good theory as always
You have the best Zelda theories on TH-cam I always find myself watching your videos over and over again keep up the good work vortex cx
Vortexxy, your editing skills have improved sooo much. I love the layout and graphics, awesome video!
Glad to see another video! Keep up the good work
This was really interesting! It felt like one of those historical/mythical documentaries
You're finally back!Also, GREAT VIDEO!
This was the best one yet! Well worth the wait.
I really enjoy watching your content. You never seem to go out of the bounds we know as facts so your theories are most believable to me. Keep up the good work. ^-^
I really like the Hylian text boarder. It's a very nice touch.
+VortexxyGaming
Good to see your back! looking forward to seeing more!
Vortex im a huge fan of your channel and i like how you use tangible evidence to speculate on possible explanations to the world of The legend of Zelda. Now over the past couple of months i stumbled across some video's of zelda theories on youtube and have been hooked ever since. I have began to piece together a cohesive theory on all matters regarding the origins of Hyrule, Hylia,Demise,Link and the creation of the triforce. I find skyward sword gave us more questions than answers so I have been watching videos non-stop to figure out the puzzle.
ANYWAYYYYYY I have a few things to ask related to this video. Firstly at the start of the video where you show the footage of the Ocarina of time's Creation Story, there is some text along with the video that i have never seen or heard of before.It states that "When Hyrule was created by the 3 goddesses at the begining of time, there was certain side effects of its creation which Din, Nayru and Farore did not anticipate. As the three holy women breathed life into the world and chased away emptiness, their potent breath slipped through the tiny cracks in the folds of space and created millions of alternate worlds in the process". Im curious as to if that is canon or a theory?
Near the end of your video when you discuss Lorule, the game's text states that because Lorule had wished its triforce out of existence that subsequently the world crumbled due to losing its foundation. Now given that we can agree that Lorule is a parallel universe and could potentially be one of many infinite universes that exist outiside of Hyrule, I think the same fate would fall upon Hyrule had they wish for the same thing. So I am curious on your thoughts as to why the goddesses created the triforce to then depart for the heavens and give it to hylia to protect? If they gave it to hylia to protect surely they were aware of the potential evil they could unleash upon the world so why even leave the triforce? I theorize that they left a piece of their divine power to protect the world from someone or something that was destroying the life that they create over the universe. I know that there is limited information regarding the the 3 golden goddesses and their purpose but i find that they're best place to start looking for answers.
It seems to me that this is indicative of the fact that they had more work to do. I theorize that they departed to the "heavens" to keep exploring the unmapped universe and then create more life through out it. Lorule is an example of this, as the 3 goddesses left the triforce in that world also. I also theorize that their creations of land, life and law were getting in the way of some darkness or void that wanted to return the universe's lights off so it or they could return to their slumber.I'm sorry for this essay but i have a lot more i theories i held back to keep this short and sweet lol
thanks for making awesome inspiring videos and keep up the good work
+jon The part about the creation of the world is from Zelda.com, it's what's written under the term "Termina". Whether it's canon or not is debated, but it IS featured on an official Nintendo website.
For your second part, I think the Goddesses giving the world the Triforce knowing it could be used for good or evil, is simply to reinforce the aspect of choice. People can choose whether they obey the Goddesses (good) or defy them (evil) or be neutral (do nothing either side), and anything in between. The triforce symbolizes morality. The Goddesses don't particularly care whether good or evil triumphs, as long as balance prevails.
As for them intervening during the Great Flood...I have a theory about that which I will be releasing at the end of this month ;)
+VortexxyGaming you've given me much to think about. thanks for your response
Your videos are amazing! Always excited to see you post a new video!
We miss you Vortexxy :/
Seeing there is a new video uploaded by you made my day :)
I just want to say that I love all your videos
YES YOURE BACK AND YOU SOUND BETTER
One question, is there anywhere that the names of Lorule or Termina's goddesses are actually given? Or did you just use Termia and Lolia because they follow the same sort of naming scheme as Hylia and Hyrule? Great theory by the way, it makes sense why there are so many comparisons to be made between all three worlds.
+PurpleKangaroo4 Yes, Termia and Lolia are not canon names, but they follow the Hylia naming convention :)
+Matthew Lajoie Lorule only looks like that because it's falling apart. It's supposed to be like Hyrule in terms of geography and landscape.
Great to see a new video! :) keep up the good work! :D
Heyyyy glad to see you're back! I missed your theories. Please keep it up.
people always seem to forget that Majora's Mask was originally from Hyrule. in the game, the happy mask salesman is attacked by the skull kid in the lost woods, and so is Link later on. Link doesn't reach Temina until after falling down the giant hollow tree.
But the Skull Kid may have attacked him for Majora's Mask on the way back to Hyrule. God knows how the Salesman manages to do that, but he seems to have arrived on Termina pretty safely.
the more assumptions you make, especially without basis, the more you are just grasping at straws, and loosing the chance of the theory being right. the fact remains, the mask salesman and link both were attacked by Skull Kid in the lost woods of Hyrule, not in Termina. And we only know vaguely where in the lost woods Link was attacked, near the big tree that has leads to Termina.
I was starting to worry about you xD You didn't upload a video in ages D: Very interesting theory, by the way! Attempts to explain some of the things that were still unclear in the game's established history.
Welcome back Vortex!! I really missed your videos, great job!! :)
oh thank the goddesses! you're truly back :)
I really like your videos, they're really cool. Keep up the good work, that sort of commitment pays off :)
Hi Vortex. I'm glad you finally uploaded a new theory.
I want to warn you about a mistake I think other Zelda theorists have fallen into. It feels like they have started creating their own lore about the Zelda universe, since many videos out there feel like fanfiction instead of actual theories (#blamebongobongo).
It's their use of indicative instead of conditonal, their excessive references about past theories (which make them sound like canon sources)... I am probably really picky, but I needed to let you know, since I love the way you tell your theories and don't want you to sound like them. By the way, I'm not talking about giving a name to the godesses, if you were wondering. That was funny.
I hope this doesn't bother you in any way, it's just constructive criticism.
Anyway, I'd like to share a hypothesis that has been running inside my head (an obvious one that probably someone has already talked about): Demise being from Lorule and coming to Hyrule searching for the Triforce after the Lorulean Triforce had been destroyed, and his sword being a corrupted Master Sword taken from a defeated hero...
love the video! One thing though, I think Demise and his demons existed in lorule before coming to hyrule. He has a warped master sword with lorule's triforce engraved on it.
Finally you are back! My favourite Zelda channel :D
@VortexxyGaming
Hey Vortex, Just wanted you to know you are the best of Zelda theory videos I've found so far, both in quality and depth. Your videos are awesome and you're one of only a handful of TH-camrs I check on to make sure I didn't miss your newest video, I always find them interesting and entertaining. You keep being awesome :)
I would also like to make a request about the fourth piece of the Triforce, though i'm sure a theory that popular is already on your mind, I still want to hear your thoughts on it.
I remember when this first came out I was getting a pizza when I saw the video 😂 but ever since then I would come back once one in while and it’s still one of my favorite videos, I see these theories as stories
Wow, that’s really cool! I was on a family holiday and my parents were out at dinner, so I had to sneak to put on my iPad on the internet and I watched this video in the bathroom to avoid being caught. I see these theories as stories as well, they really draw you into the universe of The Legend of Zelda. She was one of the best, Rest In Peace to her 💙
hey miss vortexxy, I have a question, please disregard if already answered;
can your hylian overlay text be translated?
if so, what does it mean?
and if not, there´s a fun, if time consuming, idea for your overlay =)
It can be translated, but it's just nonsense like xycyuvjbljobdsdgj :p though I really like your suggestion of putting interesting messages in there haha
I waited so long for this… and I wasn't disappointed
I love your insights. Another great video!
I don't think Nintendo thinks that far. They said it themselves, the story is just an afterthought every time they make a game.
+VortexxyGaming Glad you're back! So where were you all those months, school?
Yup :) I'm graduating this year.
Awesome! Good luck this year :D
Gave video, altijd weer goede info en duidelijk uitgelegd
Vortexxy another great video not just because it looks great but also makes u think. In fact it has even cause me to rethink my previous theory on Termina and hyrule. I don't think there is an infinite number of parallel worlds but 3. As far as I know we have only see 3 worlds. Hyrule, Termina, and Lorule. What if the 3 goddesses actually each created a world of their own, connect thru 2 things. The triforce and the doorway to the other worlds in lost woods. It would actually make a lot of sense when u think about it. I mean where did the 3 goddesses go after creating creation. They could of split off each to its own world and becoming the goddess of time for that world. Lorule represent wisdom, Termina would be Power, and Hyrule representing hope. The triforce would be a tool to bind the 3 worlds together parallel to one another but never contacting one another outside of the portal in the lost woods of hyrule. However due to each goddess going to their own world the virtue the world was built upon was corrupted. Just a thought but could answer some questions
Usually supporting people isn't something I do just for anyone. But you are a major exception. Fantastic work! Keep it up. I support you 100%
Thanks
I recently discovered zelda theory and ive been watching your videos on loop all day so im happy to see youre still active! ive never really thought about the zelda story much just assumed things happen in a generic adventure game way and zelda games are the same game just remixed so to speak every time. the idea of all this lore and hidden history and timelines is so facsinating to me!
anyway my theory about Fierce Deity Link
could the link of Termania been a Sheikah?
his hair is white and his eyes are also white but that seems to be due to the deity power of him instead of his actual features
so if Link was Sheikah and the Sheikah were part of the Ikana Kingdom knowing both masks are of legend could it be that link would be leader of the shiekah during or before the rebellion from the goddesses and used the majoras mask thus being corrupted by the evil. another theory is he became the deity of his people the shiekah and rebelled against both the Royal family with his duties as a sheikah and the goddesses as his duty as hero of time. they then rejected them and built Stone Temple to spite them in a Tower of Babel way the goddess therefore had to seal away Both link and Majora in masks because there was no one to oppose them thats why the description of the mask says it could be just as evil as majora.
this is all over the place but basically majoras mask is a timeline where link succumbs to the triforces pull of greed for power like ganon
intresting enough the TP story of the interlopers shows link resisting before dissapearing like mist (his old self?) and becoming one of them
Yay! More theories! Loved this one!
Now I just have to play A Link Between Worlds... haven't touched that game yet...
+TwilightWolf032 It's a very good game, I liked it a lot more than I thought I would.
***** I do want to play, but other bills are keeping me from getting a new video game. I can barely pay for my school.
When things get better for me, though, I'll be getting both the New 3DS for ALBW and Wii U for Zelda WWHD, TPHD and Zelda U!
Your theories are well researched and your videos are very well scripted and produced. Unlike any other LoZ videos I've seen, I feel like I come away from yours actually understanding the story and threads connecting the stories together. Anyone who says the LoZ story is a bunch of nonsense should be sent your way. Please keep up the great work! :-)
it is nonsense lol you can't just change the story drasticly after 20 years like fake goddesses demons and bullshit timelines that don't even add up because the fact is there is no timeline all the stories are multi world so it's the same link and Zelda and ganondorf with each game just different versions of them with some similarities within they're history
All this talk about the parallel worlds theory in zelda involving the sheikah has got me wondering about the draconids from pokemon and a certain ancient immortal king
Hylia, Lolia and Termia. Perfect.
Ooh, this one was good! It makes me think about the removal of depictions of the Triforce in the 3DS version of Majora's Mask. It seems like any knowledge of the Triforce in Termina has vanished along with the royal family and the Sheikah. Maybe Majora's Mask was a more tempting relic than the Triforce. The Triforce can't have been destroyed, at least. So it's either been forgotten and hidden well (unlike in Hyrule and Lorule), or protected some other way. Maybe broken into pieces and scattered like the Triforces of Courage and Wisdom in Wind Waker.
For the temple theories will you get into the skyward sword temples
Man I love your videos XD
Do more on Ocarina of time and Majora's mask PLEASE ;-; (It's the only loz games I really like).
Hylia, Lolia, and Termia? Here’s an idea:
Hylia = Nayru
Lolia = Din
Termia = Farore
They made the 3 different versions of the same world, one for each of them.
Interesting idea
I believe that Termina is the Sacred Realm of Lorule, the same way the Dark World is the Sacred Realm of Hyrule
Still haven't watched but know it's going to be great
Hey Vortexxy why did you start doing Zelda theories just out of curiosity I'm playing the first one right now
What still confuses me about ALBW is how Yuga was able to summon Ganon and the Hyrule triforce of power while he was in Lorule
Vortexxy!!!!
Love all your Zelda Theory videos!!! You have great insight and deductive conclusions that bring new light on different aspects of the Zelda Universe! You have an alluring voice for narration that makes it so nice to listen to (: Plus i love how you say Valoo's and Guru Guru's name, its cute!
You should dig into why the Heroes Shade can turn into a wolf. They say that when TP Link transforms for the first time its because of the Twilight influence in an area. If OOT Link never seemed to traverse the modern Hyrule (at least that we know of) while the Twilight energies infested it, how does his shell have that ability? Maybe something similiar to how Ganondorf can transform into Ganon, which is usually a beastial pig-like behemoth? What do you think?
Great to see you are back Vortex! :)
loving your videos , I love your voice ,its relaxing to me
