![5 Mysterious Ruins Found in Breath of The Wild #3 [ft. @MonsterMaze]](/img/n.gif)
I love how on the road to Goron City there's a dead guardian with an arrow in it's eye. A subtle way to tell the player how to kill a guardian.
Yeah :D
Well I actually just let them detect me then stand behind an obstacle, then rush out and ambush each leg at a time xD
@@HyruleGamer does destroying a guardian's tentacles result in more loot?
@@Coco-by8qs Yes it does. Destroying the legs does drop some loot for each of them but that doesn't change the ammount of loot the actual body drops.
So yes, if you just kill a guardian without cutting the legs you will miss out on the leg drops while the body won't drop more or less if you cut them first.
Sounds very historical too
"What Are The Sheikah Telescopes REALLY Used For?"
Spying on the neighbours.
Haha
@Mk. Rowe What neighbors?
*There's only Lynels* :)
Spyng on Dinkleburg.
Guess what, the Akkala lab COULD actually be spying on there neibors (Gorons)
So the neighbours are Robbie and purah #TEAMpurah
Simple: constellations. The sheikah do seem to be obsessed with em
Perhaps :)
But that can't be the case for Hateno.
Maybe in the future, Nintendo will create hylian constellations on their own, just like our constellations.
@@eljaminlatour6633 i do like that idea
@@eljaminlatour6633 the constellations could represent the goddesses of hylia
@@eleshneaky_381 there is a whole shrine puzzle based around constellations. Forgot the name of it though...
Talk to the npcs while holding a blue flame, they'll tell you about the lab.
Cool! I'll try that :)
It's really funnn
What do they say? I lost the game........
They talk more in depth about the blue flame and the lab. One I remember is like: “Oh, is that Purah’s flame? “ stuff like that.
I remember a kid said this when you’re holding the blue flame “it looks like you’re holding a star”
So the way I played BotW was to go around and get all the towers activated so I had the whole map, and I often visited places quite substantially out of order. Because of that, I have this little thing to offer: in terms of Robbie always being home, when I visited the Akkala lab before activating the Hateno lab, it was, in fact, empty - I don't know where they went or why, but no one was home at all, and I had my run of the place. It wasn't until after I'd visited Pura in Hateno that they showed up in Akkala. That, at least, confirms what Nobo said about it being empty.
About the Hateno tech lab the "Director" that the villagers speak of is actually Purah, If you read her diary and speak to some more people it becomes clear that her de-aging was a fairly recent thing. Because of her changing to a little girl she has seemingly become even more secluded (so as to not frighten the villagers) and that's also why the children are talking about there being a little Sheikah girl as a rather recent development.
The reason they say the "director" is not the kind to adopt is most likely because Purah is rather eccentric and seemingly fully dedicated to her research and experimentation. This could also be the reason why the villagers are against their kids going there, they know Purah and her assistant aren't bad people but they are definitely strange people and not something they'd want their kids to be around too much.
At least that's what I got out of it when I played the game.
Yes, very much this comment. You get a ton of confirmation of this if you carry the blue flame around Hateno and talk to everyone. Most of them know Purah and wonder why she'd send Link instead of getting the ancient furnace flame herself, or wonder why she doesn't come down to the village anymore.
Purah seems to have never married or had children, unlike her sister. I'm not necessarily sure she _dislikes_ kids per se but she certainly doesn't seem to be very up to date on what kids like or do despite living right next to a village with lots of kids.
Who’s Puras sister
There has to be more to the telescopes as there is a GIANT planetarium when you fight Calamity Ganon. And all the shrines also have stars even where one shrine says to look to the stars for the answer.
Glad you said "planetarium" !
This is no observatory, it's a laboratory, it's even written in Sheikah.
It's definitely possible :D
¿Considering how intelligent they are regarding their technology I wonder if the Sheikah would be capable of creating friggin SPACES SHIPS to reach space?
Maybe Robbie is using the telescope to search for ancient abandoned Sheikah "satelites" or something.
What if the zonai and some sheikah are in a spaceship far away in space?! Hahahahaha
@@oscarvillarreal3646 Well that could be possible. 😏🤔
tp with dogs: *can pick up + play with them*
botw with dogs: *can only feed them*
not gonna lie for tp i used to just sit there for hours holding the dog or playing with it and i went around in botw to just feed them too much because it’s cute how they follow you.
Yeah haha :)
In TP, if you look real close, you can see Link actually smiles when holding a dog/cat. You have to be in a specific spot to get the camera close enough to see his face, but you can see the difference when he puts the animal down and returns to his blank expression.
Chimney I think I remember noticing that once before. I think it’s neat how much detail they really put into Zelda games and some of them we don’t even notice and it just proves how in depth they really go.
BoTW dogs will also occasionally lead you to hidden treasure if you feed them.
@@pirksaddict correct, but I'd rather pick up and/or pet a dog than have it lead me to 10 rupees.
I haven't watched the whole video yet,but my theory is that the telescopes look at the starts because the stars on the shines or other Sheika tech are actually instructions on how to build/work/use them
I like that idea. It makes sense
Indeed, this is my theory too, nice to see others with the same conclusion.
Definitely a good idea :)
And this is why Robbie has the only telescope that looks at the stars and can rotate, thus allowing him to use the stars to construct ancient weapons.
The ancient sheikah ..... The Chozo the dwemer the lombax it look like every " instinct old civilization that ware more technologically advance " share this trope about being obsess with the stars
Maybe they were researching constellations? In the Shiekah shrines, we see looks to be constellations on the walls so maybe they mean something to the Sheikah tribe.
Indeed !
Could be the case for sure :)
The stars were a book written by the gods, the sheikah with the eyes to see truth among the hidden were one of the few able to read said book.
Interesting that neither scope is pointed upward if that were the case though.
@@barrywade3774 Just something to consider.
Something to watch while I eat perfect
Nice! :D
sameeeee
Same!
Hela how does one eat perfect?
Why are you eating at 1:00 AM?
I’ve got a theory that the telescopes were made to be a sort of early warning system. The telescope in Hateno points right over fort Hateno, the only road into and out of the village. If the guardians ever moved toward the village, they would have to go through the canyon, which is where the telescope was looking. They could then evacuate towards the ocean and loop around the beach to the road on the south west of Ebon mountain.
As for the Akkala telescope, you said it was mobile and it might have served for warning central Hyrule of ocean invaders, but that doesn’t make sense, the telescope is positioned way too far north to be of any use. Where the boats could theoretically unload troops is further south, closer to the citadel, and unless the messenger was Rito, I don’t believe that they could get to central Hyrule fast enough to warn them, assemble and send an army or reinforcements. I think that it was also used as a warning system because unlike Hateno, Guardians could come from all sides instead of one point, and that’s why the telescope is mobile.
That's pretty interesting :D
They could definitely still warn them. They could light certaib torches as a signal.
"the torches are lit! Gondor calls for aid" it used to be a lighthouse.. perhaps, 100 years ago, the light was still on top and they could use a sort of Morse code to warm central Hyrule.... 🤷
Warn* 🤦
People would sometimes use the stars and astral bodies to foretell events. Perhaps, the shekiah were using the stars to look for events of rising of dark events, like the rise of ganadorf.
Perhaps yeah! :D
OMG! I can’t believe I got a like from you!! Thank you so much!!
@@sarawallace649 No worries :)
Ou…maybe there are secretes in Breath of the Wild that haven't been discovered yet? Imagine that, finding a message in the stars or something
Yeah the prophet who warned about Ganon was Sheikah right?
I think the lighthouse was used to guide people away or even around the labyrinth. It would guide ships in the fog from hitting that huge stone block mistaking it for land or cliffs And the telescope icon is just for convenience and remembering. Remember Everything in this game is a throwback to older ones and majoras mask had the observatory and the tech lab in the Akano area! Very close names as well!
The telescope just being a reference to an event we never experienced doesn't make much sense, and even if it did there's no way there wouldn't be more lore behind a prominent feature of an important location in the game.
Oh true, that's pretty interesting and never really thought about that.
If you line up a triangle with the two tech labs, they connect with the Saas Ko'ah shrine under Hyrule Castle. If you go outside and directly above where the shine, then it lead to Zelda's tower room. If you look around in her room you find a telescope. So whatever research was going on Zelda and the Sheikah was working together.
Huh, interesting... :)
If the theory about the Golden Goddesess using the constellations as means to communicate with the Sheikah is true i guess that could also be an explanation as to why Zelda is also studying the stars. Given her connection to Hylia it's probable that the Goddesess would also want to communicate with her as well.
When they accuse you of eavesdropping so you eavesdrop
Haha
I think the labs are researching how to build their own divine beasts. The Akkala lab is focusing on how to make the body and defensive measures because It's telescope is looking at Divine beast Vah Rudania which would be smart to study it you plan on building you own. It can turn to look at Lomei Labrynth which is a still standing structure made by the zonai and you'd want to study it if you are trying to make something incredibly durable. And it also can look at the Akkala Citadel ruins which are overrun with corrupted guardians and malice and the best way to defend against an enemy is to study them. The Hateno lab is looking into how to power the new divine beast by studying The Lord of the Mountain and the blupees who's glows are similar to the glow sheikah technology gives off and could be a natural occurrence of the same power like how lighting is a natural occurrence of electricity which we use to power all our stuff
That could also work :D
Thomas Barnes McGinty whats wrong with the word zonai lol
Satori Mountain has more connections to spiritual energy than that.
It glows similarly to luminous stones that are known to contain souls of the dead.
It glows like the champions.
The Lord of the mountain is a spectral glowing ghost horse that represents Iwata, who passed away during development.
Lastly in the sequel trailer we see a TON of luminous stones in a massive cave system.
I'd wager it's more than enough stone to make a mountain glow at night
Interesting stuff :D
So I love that you positioned yourself on the telescope and marked what they were pointed at. Interestingly enough, researching Satori Mountain opened up new info for me today.
But I want to focus on what these telescopes "used to" be aimed at. As a reminder, the Sheikah put a lot of focus on astronomy. We can see the constellations they were obsessed with all over their Shrines and Tapestry that tells of the First Calamity. I wonder if they were studying or monitoring something extraterrestrial?
Oh cool, that is very true and possible :D
The telescopes have 'cogs' not 'clogs'...lol
Clogs are a type of wooden shoe
Oops, my confusion haha
Lol I was wondering if anyone else had questions about that, i thought he said clocks the first time but then heard clogs clearly the second time but saw cogs (or gears ) were displayed in the vid
Clogs are used by link through sheikah tech to help make louder footsteps for link during stealth sections
Sprockets!
I was wondering...."did he say cLogs?" 😅
I don’t know how much longer I can wait till we get botw 2 news man I’m not holding up well I’m gonna collapse soon
S a m e
Let's hope they'll announce a Direct soon. 😀😄
@@javiervasquez8995 E3 for sure. Direct before then (like 27/02/19 last Year for Pokemon) would mean it would be releasing this Year. Can't see Nintendo being that generous like Gamefreak are being
Thadd in Hateno also says a little about the Tech lab. "But... A little advice? Don't go near the place up on the hill in the rear of the village. There's a yappy old woman there." Similarly not much like the others but it would all seem to indicate Purah didn't make too many friends when she moved into the village.
Ahh lol, that's pretty interesting thanks! :)
I love that HG replies to practicaly everyone that leaves a comment 👍, please give us something on the sword in the tapestry looking more like the fierce deity sword than the master sword
I love that people comment haha, thanks for the support :D
I think the telescopes were probably made for looking at something too far away to see with your naked eye just a thought
Perhaps yeah!
Crazy how I never ever considered the purpose of the telescopes. Your idea about it monitoring the mountains sounds correct, but what about the sky. Could the telescopes look beyond to Hyrule’s stars or does the rotation not allow for that? Anyway, fantastic video as always.
I'm sure the rotional one could look to the stars :)
Thanks a lot dude! :D
Strange, I was thinking the same thing yesterday when i was visitting Robbie for the first time and was walking around the house and up on the roof.
Oh cool haha :)
Robbie Rotten
This is something I can eat a snack to and enjoy. I love your videos, keep them up. I can never get over that accent ngl.
Thanks :)
Yessssss
This game is so enchanting. TH-camrs like you simply enhance the intrigue, so thank you for taking the time to make these clips. The game has a lot that seems unexplained so we can only guess as to what the sequel has.
Thank YOU for watching :D
The telescopes could have been used for stellar exploration, since the Sheikah creations have a heavy emphasis on constellations. But there is also concept art of Link facing a giant UFO. Could the telescopes have been related to that, early in development? Perhaps they'll play a larger role in the sequel, if aliens end up getting involved somehow
Ah, nice ! Indeed
I hope there are no futuristic aliens/ufo type stuff for the sequel. Botw has too much tech for a Zelda game as it is. Would rather see a more magic type aspect than tech in Zelda
That's a good shout!
It's possible that the old Sheikah were so technologically advanced that they went as far as to create space ships/stations that were left forgotten and lost in space. Maybe the supposed Divine Beast underneath Hyrule Castle is in fact a ship that Ganondorf will use it to reach space itself.
@@javiervasquez8995 I REALLY like that!
As Robbie is focussed on the development of Ancient gear to assist Link, it’s possible that he is examining, from a safe distance, the Skywatcher Guardians at the Citadel and Labyrinth. He had access to some decayed guardians but wouldn’t want to get too close to active flyers!
:)
personally, i believe that the mask that robbie wears and the one on the platform on the telescope could possibly be to view what the telescope sees sort of like vr goggles connected to a camera since robbie is always wearing his goggle i would imagine they have some kind of HUD display in them and could potentially connect to the telescope when needed
Definitely possible :)
Purah has them too, nestled in her hair. Interesting theory!
@@arowyn.m Thanks!
The falling stars
Maybeee
Damn now you got my last 3 brain cells working overtime
If the Akkala Tech Lab used to be a light house, doesn't that imply the existence of ships and oversea travel? Maybe that's what's going to happen in the sequel.
I always always wondered about this and what they have been observing...I just told myself the dragons or stars seeing how they are relevant on some shrines.
Could be the case :D
Nice video !
I will join you over Hateno's Telescope, it seems that Purah had eyes for the Lord of the Mountain, perhaps as the subject of her research.
Tho for Akkala's, I rather think that it is to look at the stars, stars and Sheikah Tech are greatly connected, the blue Energy seems to be similar to Aether, the fifth element said to be making the stars in classical alchemy.
Thank you! :)
The Akkala telescope could be use to look out at space. There are those star fragments. What yo suggest for Hateno, I agree on that. Good video. ;)
Definitely possible too! Thanks a lot! :)
Honestly, with all the details in this game; it greatly surprised me that I couldn't look through the telescope...
During my first playthrough back in late 2017, I could've sworn that the Hateno telescope was able to be looked through, since it had that "Examine" text but didn't point to anywhere significant when looking through it. But after another playthrough in early 2018, it wasn't able to do that anymore... anyone remember anything like that? BTW, nice video.
derisive persona I remember that somewhat, that was one of the reasons that really caught my interest of the telescopes
I don't remember that
Hyrule Gamer thats understandable as I only saw it once so I thought I was just imagining things
Mandela
@@Luna_495 Interesting. Early 2018 was when I purchased the DLC packs, which updated BotW to v. 1.5, thought the update disabled the telescope view. So I tried the game on my other Switch that runs BotW at v. 1.0, but same thing, no telescopic view.
There actually is another character who mentions the laboratory in Akkala; a Shiekah tech merchant named Teli, who travels the roads between Fort Hateno and Hateno Village.
The lab symbol being a telescope to me hints at Sheika tech possibly having some connection to astronomy. We do see a lot of celestial symbolism in the shrines, with symbols that look like constellations on the walls, and it's also clear that celestial events can influence the world in tangible ways since we have blood moons. Perhaps Sheika technology is somehow powered by the sky and that's why telescopes are a fundamental part of these labs.
I really did wonder what these scopes were looking at!! Thanks for the video! My question is answered!
Same! :D
The Sky 🤔
6:08
That tempo change in the music though....
Lol
That doesn't feel nice xD
"They have only made solid appearances in Ocarina of Time and Skyward Sword but also make a very subtle and unconfirmed appearance in Twilight Princess."
Downfall Timeline Impa: Am I a joke to you?
Madam Fanadi: That's rough, buddy.
Great video as always, my Scottish brother! Amazing analysis I'd otherwise have never noticed!
Lol
Thanks :D
Downfall timeline Impa is not confirmed to be Sheikah, just named Impa. And of those 5 appearances, Zelda and Zelda 2 only have her in the backstory in the manual, not the main game. However, you do still have a point with this one since the Oracle games have Impa and her official artwork for them does get red eyes, implying she is a Sheikah.
However, as for Fanadi, there are only 2 hints she is Sheikah. A symbol similar to the Sheikah eye (similar, but not the same) and her Japanese name referencing Impa. She has never been confirmed Sheikah and only has the one appearance. Impaz, however, has far more suggestions at being Sheikah, even having red eyes, though is still unconfirmed, surprisingly.
So while funny, I'm sorry to say that you're not really right...
I'd love to see a more developed theory of how the sheikah became a more predominant race after several millennia. I understand that breath of the wild takes place all these years after the previous games where the sheikah were very few and misunderstood, so to speak. How did they expand and become so technologically advanced? This may have already been covered, and I missed it. Just thought about it as I was watching
Time travelling ?
Dude... how much more cool would that be. The sheikah are secret time travelers. And then again, they are the ones who created it, or the use of it. OOT is my favorite game because of the idea of time travel. It barely scraped the surface of its explanation. My only question is now... are the sheikah the main reason for time itself and the reason for a reoccurring timeline? Mind blown
Well they are the servants of goddess hylia and some believe she is the goddess of time soooo
@@omegawolflight9739 in my mind, time and matter are equivalent. Wisdom and power are also things that come with time. If the sheikah are a benevolent race and they can use time to their advantage, they wouldnt need to be technologically advanced to defeat ganon.
Me too! :)
Today is February 1, 2020 and I’m still learning new stuff about Breath of the Wild
Yay :)
When i mapped out Hateno Telescope path using multiple map markes and the 'gun sight' protrusion and assuming it's a relatively perfect cone, I got a similar but distinctly different result, My Hateno telescope is pointing more to the north, towards Nero Hill/Tabantha Tower or beyond with high repeatability. It's path clearly cuts through the Pillars of Levia landmark south of Kakorio village instead skirting just north of the dueling peaks. Straight Across plain Hyrule until it it
While the concept art is one thing, it's worth noting the Akala facility doesn't have 180/360 degree functionality due to the surviving wall and structures, to point out to see Robbie is gonna have to do a little constructive destruction. If it turned considerably at it's present height it risk some minor wooden decking that it could avoid in the back by tilting up a bit, or down a lot. It's entirely possible the left and right movements of the tower are vestigal traces of the lighthouse as even the tilting mechanism is surrounded by wooden floor.
Given the structure we can guess that Akala has rough turning visual limit of Suma Shama shrine down by the gerudo labryinth and (luckey i had rain when i was looking to see a red glow in the distance to investigate) the blood moon rising behind it, at the southern end of it's rotation and a few more degrees maybe 10 to the northern end. It could rotate some more to the south but the only interesting besides the rock cliffs behind zora's domain is Mount Lanayru and and Akala Tower at ground level or the really islands. Mount Lanyru is where Naydra spawns if i remember correctly.
What Is interesting about Akali present position is it currently is pointed at Death mountain one death mountain's Rock pillars, Southwest of Gutcheck rock and Gorae Torr, and beyond that is the Eldin Great Statue where Dinraal appears. Tabantha Bridge stables conveniently located in a gap between 2 mountains. The first time i did this, I got Mount Rhoam a little north of the stables. If i had to guess i'd say Hateno is either looking for a signal from Kakoriko, which is not sensical or watching the eastern border/skyline through gaps in mountains.
It's also worht noting due to a lack of Eye Piece, Akala has more in common with a canon barrel bearing a lens in it's mouth then the other Shiekah telescope and both appear to have been salvaged and placed there with great effort given we have nothing to suggest our sheikah labs could reproduced the material or design used.
Coincidentally Dinraal Vanishes in relative the true sightline of Hateno Labs, and appears within current position tilted up sight range of Akala Labs. We have a convient and accurate connection between the both labs and a second element.
Take a look The validity of the red line is not my work, only the black edit lines. s1375.photobucket.com/user/nighplasmage/media/BotW-Dinraal-Map-640x360_zpsy0dp50oa.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0
There is a secondary telescope barrel under Hateno's main barrel, and the main telescope has a downward angle. By standing lining up with the supporting pillar and looking directly at my feet, then using the telescope to zoom in and look out, the only interesting feature between there and Tabantha tower is an oddity. There is a large unnamed hill in BotW of all things and it in the direct path of hateno's telescope's potential targets. it is located north north west of Central Tower.
As i warped out to go investigate i noticed the front of the telescope is very odd looking indeed. The Hill so large and lumpy it's not apparent that you can see it from the Central tower, but on the Hateno Facing side, a Shiekah Guardian patrols the slope. Beyond that a little north-east of Mount Roam is the shiekah puzzle originally covered in a lighting storm.
Tabantha's tower comes out of Nero Hill, which has the distinction of laregly being covered in malice
So to sum up Hateno's targets, Dinraal, Shiekah Guardian, West of Hyrule, Tabanath Tower, Mount Rhoam, or the Toh Yahsa shrine's weather effect.
I think Mount Rhoam pretty much blocks Most targets behind it, and has a interesting coloration almost charred to it.
So My final answer is the Guardian patrolling the hillside.
Cool stuff :D
Man, I love these sorts of videos and your channel. I reminds me of the Nintendo nsider Zelda boards back in 2006-12. I kind of miss those forums and the theory crafting.
Aww thanks a lot! :D
@@HyruleGamer hopefully my TH-cam premium sub actually goes towards the stuff I like as TH-cam claims it does!
I love the legend of Zelda series so much
Me too! :D
Does it really make much sense that a rotating telescope to one side of the mountain is responsible for watching the path of a gigantic, completely mobile automaton that crawls all over and around the mountain within minutes? Robbie wouldnt even be able to blink before it would be way too late to send any sort of warning. In fact, if Rudania started for Goron city, is the telescope even on the right side of the mountain to see that route? Not to mention if it WAS some sort of guard tower then there have to be someone watching at all times, right? Or else it's completely redundant!
Mmmm interesting :D
Remember, the Divine Beasts had been in a "sleep Mode" until Link awoke and activated the Great Plateau Tower.
They just meandered around and didn't actively "Attack" outsiders, until 100 years post Calamity.
Then the Shiekah tech was activated and they became MORE DANGEROUS.
So Robbie probably studied Rudania in case it began to climb down from Death Mountain, as not only were him and his wife the "Only" people actively living in Akkala, but they're living "on top" of one of the Divine Springs, and as mentioned in the video-their house was a lighthouse.
If their lab fell to Rudania just getting too close and spewing fire, and THEN a seafaring tribe/attack came, Hyrule could've been decimated within a few months.
Amazing video! DEAL WITH IT haha I gotta say I truly feel your script writing/narration has vastly improved since I first started following you for reals!
In regards to the telescopes they are probs lookin at the stars such as you, game over jebbe, capt burgerson etc. that or looking spying on Mario in the Mushroom Kingdom I bet
Thank you so much Perm! That means a lot, glad you see improvement :)
Literally all but blackout drunk rn but 1:52 with the goodest of good Bois sent me to tears
Hahahaha, have a good one then :)
Something really fascinating about the Akkala tech lab is that it was a lighthouse, which in turn suggests that there was some form of sea travel back in the days. Now we do have Lurelin village and their boats and oars and the rafts along the Hyrule rivers but I haven't really seen anything else that suggests any real sea travel.
There is also very little in terms of settlements in Akkala. There's the stable sure, and Tarrey Town doesn't count as you create it during the game. There's the ancient furnace which is something mysterious in and of itself, and then there's the lightouse. There are however plenty of ruins along the coast of Akkala, but they all seem to be from way more than 100 years ago as they are similar in style to the ones found in the Great Columns where you find a shrine and a memory after the Tabantha Great Bridge.
It would seem that Hateno lab is also a lighthouse due to its positioning but it could also easily be a refurbished windmill like those found in the village itself.
This isn't a theory about Uncle Ruppee being the King of the Fairies and being in the sequel!
Also, "BotW really brought the world and it's inhabitants to life." as the main NPC on screen stands looking absolutely lifeless.
Hahaha
Are there any potential tech lab locations that may have ended up getting cut?
Only the labs that got destroyed by the Calamity near Hyrule Castle but I believe they were more focused on the Guardians :D
I just have one thing to say: hyrule gamer makes all these interesting videos abd i cant wait to see what new videos he'll make in botw 2
Thanks! :D
@@HyruleGamer 👍👍
Been waiting for this!! Awesome
Hope ya enjoy! :D
I remember trying to pin point where both of the telescopes were pointed at.
I thought that they both pointed more or less to their nearby blue flame furnaces.
The Hateno one definitely isn't
@@HyruleGamer I should have been more specific. I meant the furnaces where the blue flame originates from. Both telescopes are aimed slightly left to their respective blue flame origin.
@Hyrule Gamer Interesting points here. My initial thought was so that the divine beast wasn't descending for attack and just constellation/blood moons, but your thoughts are also provoking. I didn't pay attention to the telescope icon on particular landmarks, so great catch. I agree. There has to be more to the story.
The Sheikah were looking at Constellations. But I have a different theory as to what the tech labs were doing. These telescopes are "inherited" from the ancient Sheikah. They also coincide with the locations of the ancient furnaces. But also they happen to coincide with locations WITHOUT a divine beast. Which are all powered by these furnaces.
The theory is, ancient furnaces are built on locations of spiritual power, perhaps former locations of Temples. The Sheikah built the ancient furnaces to tap into this power, and the two labs are in fact locations of yet to be made or even Unfinished Divine Beasts.
They are divine because their designs are based on the Constellations. As well as being run on divine energy.
Now you may wonder why we dont have telescopes in the other regions then? The telescopes are incorporated into the divine beasts as focusing lenses for their signature laser beam.
Plus given each beast was designed to be piloted by a different race of hyrule, we are "missing" a divine beast for Hylians and Sheikah. These are our missing divine beasts.
HG, I discover something very important in the breath of the wild 2 trailer that probably nobody noticed before, in one of the shoots of the probably mummified ganondorf I saw in his hand what I could only describe like a stigmata, a hole in his left hand, the only one that has a clear shot of his palm, i can´t bellive I just noticed that and only because I recently put that shoot as a wallpapaer in my desktop, what the fuck does that mean!
Woah this is a Christian comment section, no cursing.
@@grubinator5237 sorry :(
@@saladoc lol I'm kidding
I think I did notice the hole on the hand the first time I watched it I just didn't think much of it, but now I'm curious as to why its there
Someone must of stabbed him in the hand ( well deserved most likely)
Came as soon as I got the notification. Can’t wait to watch. :)
Love to hear that, enjoy! :D
Now that we know more about BOTW2, I think it can also be theorized that they were also looking towards the heavens as well.
Wow, really minute details I never would have considered! These are cool!
I also noticed that if you draw lines from each, they intersect at Gisa Crater, just west of Tabantha Tower. That fits with all the star stuff.
3:52 North EAST, not North WEST.
F
So I’m not the only one who noticed that.
Was about to say the same thing
What if they're actually researching about the Zonai lost tribe? I mean... the glow of the mountain is similar to the one seen in the botw sequel trailer (and I'm almost sure it has something to do with the Zonai)
And the labyrinth was built by this tribe as well... what if they we're trying to find warriors to help Hyrule deffeat Calamity Ganon (or perhaps even Ganondorf...)
It's definitely possible :)
Hyrule Gamer there are also some books with the Gerudo symbol in Purah's room... wich may mean they know about Ganon's existance
I believe the "greenish glow" in both the mountain and the trailer represents "spiritual power" that exists within them. Kinda like the green energy and flames that float around both the Sheikah Monks and 4 Champions. It could very well be that Purah's research on the spiritual power emanating from the mountain has led her to the Zonai Tribe.
The children and women talking in Hateno village mention the "little girl" walking around outside, and getting a chance to see her (specifically the kids). This implies that Purah does leave the lab at least sometimes, and it could be to go look through the telescope, considering the book put in front of the eye piece for a height boost.
who hopes for botw2 will be so dark like majora's mask?
Yes
There's confirmation of that the creator of BotW said that BotW II will be slightly darker than MM!
@@arowyn.m wow more darker than mm?! my creepy childhood memories will be back yay!!
@@arowyn.m It's slightly unclear if he meant darker than MM or dark in the same style as MM was to being a dark sequel :)
@@HyruleGamer lol ok well EITHER WAY it's going to be dark
The rounded off end looks insanely like Baymax-
I think the telescopes were meant to look at stars for new designs for shrines, because the shrines seem to have constellations on them, and maybe for Hateno the telescope was moved to later look at satori mountain when
Purah heard about the lord of the mountain.
11:42 I think the Director they are referring to is Pura as well. They are thinking, "there's no way that the old Director Lady is also the young girl". Mostly because Symin is Pura's assistant.
Yeah :)
What software did you use to create your intro? Love the vids (:
I didn't make it, the intro creator is linked in the description! It was animated :)
Here's a thought, that second mask sitting by the lawn chair at the Akala telescope could be a remote viewing screen. It looks like it has an antenna on it, and with their tech it would make sense.
Well watching your video I hopped on my Switch and checked some things out. So I found that both telescopes can connect with akkala being the far side of the telescope and hateno being the short side of the telescopes. And there are pictures in purah's room that show they also look at Vah Medoh when it put onder calamity.
If you talk to Manny (the guy at the horse pen below Ton Pu Inn) while holding the blue flame, he’ll mention that “Granny Purah” used to carry it up to the lab, and that he hadn’t seen her in a while.
12:45 "She" ??? Sefaro is a young boy !
Oops. Appeared more female to me
Yeah looks like a girl
Loved the video, Mr. Gamer.
Thank youuu! :)
i think these telescopes were indeed for researching constellations, but also keeping an eye on Hyrule Castle and Calamity Ganon.
Definitely possible :D
7:06 What if that was supposed to be (part of) the map for the nearby Lomei Labyrinth?
Mmmm maybe :D
TotK explains what they were researching. Lots and lots and lots of explosions.
The telescope pointed at Satori Mountain could be part of the tribute to Satoru Iwata, the Nintendo president who passed away while the game was being developed. Apparently the Lord of the Mountain is a tribute to him, so maybe it's a cool way to point you in that direction
I wonder where they got those telescope from, those aren't something you just find laying on the ground, was they attach to something else?
I believe they took them from Hyrule Castle or the research lab ruins near the castle :)
Might have been scavenged from old ruins buried somewhere.
The northern telescope doesn’t seem to be optical necessarily. Perhaps it picks up spirit or radiation signatures. If you project its current sighting through death mountain, what else is along that line? Does it also point toward satori mountain? Or at what point would both sightings intersect?
Nah the Akkala one cannot see Satori Mountain from my understanding :(
I’d love to see you revisit this subject in light of the trailers for TOTK and the green energy near Satori Mountain.
Doesn’t the luminous stone glow look like the Satori Mountain glow?
Yes :)
Nice observation !
I did mention that in the video didn't I?
I don’t think you did
I’m not sure
I actually always thought they were to look at stars. We know Sheikah are interested in stars bcuz of the star designs on Sheikah tech. I wonder if that will play a bigger role in the sequel
Perhaps the Akkala one was/is but I can't see the Hateno one being that personally :D
Nice video keep up the hard work👌
Thanks a lot! :)
If you walk through hateno with the blue fire on a torch each of the villagers will tell you something about the lab or about purah
Great content! Sorry if I missed it, but, do you think *they* built the telescopes, or were they left over? The construction seems to be the same as the shrines, which we know Robbie and Purah didn't built, but became pretty handy with.
Maybe the major relics they protected were two guidance stones, two telescopes, and the slate?
maybe its something to do with the dragons. akkala is close to dinraal and hateno is close to naydra. in botw if u use dragon parts in elixers it makes it go for longer. it could be to do with enhancing soldiers as that is what purah was attempting which is why she looks 6 but is like 116.
With the fact that there was a lighthouse, it kind of implies that there would be ships from other places like beyond Hyrule, don't you think? Sure they could be coming around but still
I love your name
perhaps the akkala telescope is meant to be aimed at the labyrinth to keep an eye on it seeing as there are quite a few flying guardians above. maybe trying to keep the tech lab from getting destoryed by guardians in the same way the lighthouse it used to be was.
all the stuff they could do with the world in the sequel is crazy, if they want to
I know right haha!
If you think how powerful the scope is on the Sheikah Slate, telescopes as big as the one on the Sheikah Tech labs have the potential to be crazy powerful, depending on how successfully they have replicated ancient tech. The Akkala Lab telescope could be used like the Hubble Space telescope. From the patterns on the shrine walls, the Sheikah seem to be interested in the stars. Maybe they're used to look out into the universe for other life, or the Sheikah might look out to the stars to divine the future and aid their prophecies.
I've always wondered about the telescope as well. I suspect it will have a much bigger impact in the 2nd game!
Akkala Tech Lab, Robbie isn't there until you talk to Impa. Not very useful info, but I did just find that on my last playthrough. Some other missing NPCs are those with camera quests until you get the camera rune.
Well I think it was built so Purah and Robbie can watch each other from other regions. I also think the telescope in Hateno was supposed to face the direction of Akkala, but Purah did not know how to build a machine to make it turn. We don’t know how the telescopes work so maybe if they were facing each other they may have been able to see right through the mountains and everything to see each other.
I suspect they were bolted on, so to have a genetic scientific visible symbol, much like the stables are horses. Hence the map icon also being something identifiable as scientific
Oh interesting!
I can’t help but wonder if there are (or were) Ancient Satellites that connect with all terrestrial Sheikah tech.
Oh true, maybe :D
