3:40 wait, the dragons have Hylian text written on their horns? I don't remember that. Any ideas of what they would say?
Ordona's light wasn't stolen, but good job!
She resisted Zant's power
I recall somewhere in game it was mentioned that malice spreads faster in bodies of water. Ice being frozen water would make Naydra susceptible to the corruption.
I LOVE that idea!
That does make sense.
This is so true my eyes just went
👁️👄👁️
Now that you mention it a lot of heavily corrupted areas are near, on or surrounded by Water with Gerudo being almost entirely unaffected
I always figured that Nintendo planned on having "cleansing quests" for the other dragons, but ran out of time before they HAD to release the game so they got cut.
"The dragons are there to help the hero" Of course they are, you shot at them for their scales or horn shards to earn some good rupees and they don't even attack you, like "Sup dude, need some money? here, sell these and get something to eat bro."
Money Dragons
Why not upgrade your tunic tho? kappa
@@dalejhunter1 of course, after upgrading your stuff you can sell the leftovers xd
Not to mention cooking with the dragon horns
the unsung money heroes of botw
Imagine being an incarnation of a LITERAL GOD who CREATED THE WORLD.
Then, every day, a guy in a camel mask and tunic shoots you straight in the horn every day at 5:00 SHARP
Imagine
Firestardude imagine
Imagine
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...
volcano summit
The first time I saw the dragons in the game, I was just wandering around near a waterfall, and I was like, “Geez why did it get so windy. Is that a ball of lightning?” And then my jaw dropped when Farosh swept into view. I LOVE dragons, so I almost started crying. God I love the dragons
Me too, and afterwards I was sooo disappointed that I didn't took a picture of it.. ..so sat down and watched the sky until it finally got back 😂😂😂
Dragons!
The first one I saw was Dinraal, and it was while I was examining the Eldin Great Skeleton, before I knew it was part of a side quest. I hid from the dragon because I'm a video game wimp. I had just encountered my first Lynel, was confused by the skeleton, and had just encountered the enemy camp under it, so I was in high defense mode.
My first encounter was the yellow one, don't remember the name. I was...horrified.
The wanting to cry and “God I love the dragons” reminds me of the “I love cats” video 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is it just me or does the malice infected Naydra look kinda cool...
FishBiscuit981 it’s malice
@@rodrigroudon1872 They said malice
ofc not
Cool yes but evil yesser!!!
Uhp! I see what you did there...
I'm so glad that these dragons aren't weird human-dragons this time around
Eastern dragons vs western dragons
@@ShadowSkyX Hm, didn't know that was really something with eastern dragons. The BotW dragons are still eastern (in my somewhat limited knowledge) without the human bits, they've got those long serpent bodies and no wings. Actually I guess I have seen humanoid aspects in eastern drawing and depictions. But the BotW ones still seem very eastern without the human parts since they're not the most common western types of dragons.
My idea of Western dragons are non serpentine and with wings, from old European folklore. Not like the SS sword creepy clothed dragons with human faces. Gotta say, didn't like that design but I do love the BOTW dragon designs!
@@dothedo3667 i think the BOTW ones are depicted (forget the exact name) around a type of asian dragon, considering the company and people making it, likely from japanese legends or something
It’s too bad the design of their faces is derpy as fuck.
So heres a funny thing. You know how ganon wanted to be a god? Well The fact that the dragons have similar names to the gods, its not hard to see that that could be why Gannon chose the form he did. A calamity dragon. The closest he could make himself to a god.
Holy shit
Bruh
Huh, interesting
Nice theory.
I love this theory
Can we talk about how farosh just pops up wherever he damn well pleases?
Legit just today I was playing and I turned the camera around, guess who was there? Farosh, up close and personal
Yeah, especially Naydra. I was just fishing in a large pond and I heard the special music that you hear when the dragons are close by. I look up and BAM, they’re directly above me.
I have an insane amount of Farosh's scales and pieces of his horn. Barely anything for the other two. I don't even have a single thing for Naydra.
YES WE CAN ACTUALLY
I was just trying to chill in a lake and you know who decided to pop up right beneath me?? ELECTRO DRAGON WORM
@@callysta5160 that's happened to me so many times!
I got 2x as hooked on the game when I ran into Farosh right after leaving the great plateau.
Seriously just seeing it right after leaving the plateau was intimidating and exciting as hell.
And that’s how my name on a game I play is Faroshe (my username has to have an E as Farosh without an E was already taken)
My ass was scared shit cos I was wearing poor equipment that breaks with 3 hits
I just look and there this frickin snake just slithering in the air like what is that!?
@@SomeRandomRay added on to the questions is WHY IS IT MADE OUT OF A LIGHTNING STORM!!?!?
me to omg i love farosh so much hes my favourute dragon
Those cinematic shots are STUNNING!
THANKS MAN!!!
NintendoBlackCrisis how do you do them because I’m thinking of making botw the movie
me at school: "Man I hate history,"
me rn: Learning the history of Zelda that isn't any use in real life
Lol that sounds like me. XD
Real life history is cool as fuck though. I suggest learning about the sengoku jidai. Sadly, history in schools are generally broing, thus turning people off from the subject all together.
@@noakinn Right. I loathed history in school, and it wasn't until later during my personal occult studies that I gained a love for history in general. Some of the most dramatic, exciting, beautiful, terrible things happened in the past and most history classes take all the fun (and lessons to be learned) out of it. We wonder why the younger generation resemble uneducated hooligans despite their rather by comparison advanced educations, but they slept through history class more than we did.
@@noakinn yes school's history is really boring. There is actually some pretty interesting stuff here and there, but in my school, they repeat the same history about my country independence day over and over again..... but amazingly I never remember the name of important people despite that and never do well on the test either 🤣
Not a day goes bay when I don't regret getting into reading, history, and art earlier than I did. The thing that did it is that schools, knowingly or not, seem obsessed with the idea that you get the "right" view of history or do the "right" kind of art or dumb reading down for you give you prescribed ways of interpreting it instead of teaching you how to interpret.
Of course, they cant teach you how to interpret literature because it requires an unfiltered perspective; something so intangible it cannot be marked on a test.
One thing they could do to make history more interesting, however, is give teachers more freedom within the curriculum.
The fear here is that the teacher will be irresponsible or biased and give the students a one-sided view, but this would be true no matter what view they wind up adopting and the academically accepted view is by no means ideal.
Many people say that some school teach how to think as opposed to what to think, but I don't think any school can do the former and seems to encourage the latter very much more. The student needs to come to that of themselves. Which is probably why French schools don't bother to teach religious studies while British ones do. Nothing about Religious Studies in school assured me of anything other than that religion was as boring as I'd always assumed. Because they focused on the dogmas and not the significance of the mythologies -- the ways of seeing the world -- behind them and the essential forms of religious experience they all point to I.E a sense of unity with the rest of being.
That last bit is really the most important thing to understand about religion, and not even my local church taught it to me.
You know, I was actually relieved when I found out the dragons weren't bosses (except the corrupted Naydra). I found them too beautiful and awe-inspiring to want to kill them. Besides, they hold no ill will toward people, so why fight them anyway?
“So why fight them anyway”.
Because human nature
We would definitely fight them if BOTW was a Fromsoft game lol
For scales and horns
Hylians: *Unable to recreate elemental weapons by the Zonai*
Hylians as well: *Here have some Fire Arrows!*
Well those are just crystals from the dragons unkike the Zonai weapons which are imbued with the power
A couple things I wanted to mention, but forgot about in this video. One, HOW DID I NOT MENTION THE PORTALS AHHHH!!! Yeah, so it won’t be shocking if they led to some sort of sacred realm. What I found very interesting was how they are VERY similar to the parts that “open” up to the surface in SS. Though since it’s not cloudy all the time in botw it must be something different. Random thought; perhaps Naydra happened to be the only spirit in Hyrule at the time Ganon returned and unleashed his malice...perhaps it was there since Zelda had JUST prayed at the spring of wisdom.
Second is that the crystal “spikes” on the dragon’s backs looks nearly identical to the parts on the ends of the elemental arrows. Perhaps the dragons are the source for materials to make them? They are “elemental spirits” after all...though the problem is that not many can see them, so how would people in the present get those materials?
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
NintendoBlackCrisis good point
And why is there dragon parts in chests in Hyrule Castle?
"perhaps it was there since Zelda had JUST prayed at the spring of wisdom." I was thinking about that too! Malice was probably seeking Zelda, so they got to the spring and attacked the dragon
liked his own reply
the zonai created the thunder arrows since they worship that thunder god and other weapons
I hope the dragons return in Botw 2. It'd be lovely to see one while standing cliffside with Zelda, maybe have her spew out a few facts or a reaction to such a wonderful sight.
This is why i REALLY want zelda to be a companion. The world would seem so much more alive with lore interactions with her. Where you just see some cool shit and she talks about it. Doesnt even have to be a lot but i think it would add SOO much to the game. But this is a zelda game, lets be real, her involvement will probably be near non existant :(. Still, we can dream.
@@johnathanera5863 No. It's been done before, so it's not impossible for it to happen again. It will probably happen again in Breath of the Wild 2. It's heavily implied.
im hoping for a fourth one to be revealed because they are named after the lake spirits in twilight princess
There are hints that Zelda herself will be a playable character in this game. Now, whether or not it is storyline based, or if she is playable by choice is left to be discussed... Then again, so is her being a playable character. But it was implied by one of the game creators at E3, and a slight possible hint would be her haircut, since it would be a bit more cumbersome to handle a weapon with the long hair she had... oh, so many possibilities! Hurry up, Nintendo, and give us another trailer or something!
That would be an awesome cutscene or something!
"The dragons are there to help the hero" What does Link do naturally???- Yes, he shoots arrows at the dragons!😂 Very helpful for the hero!
Yes arrow shooting game To The dragons
@A 1995 hylia : i don't know,link have sleep 100 years He s just a little bit crazy.
I mean you kinda need to. They drop a scale once hit that helps you gain entry to a shrine
After Naydra settled in front you you to let you shoot a scale off to access the shrine I started to think of it being the same the entire time; a choice of the dragons. Like, shooting the arrows doesnt force the scales or horn shards off, it let's them know what part you want, at which point they knock it off themselves to land somewhere you can reach, hencethe whole glowing like a spotlight and travelling some distance rather than just dropping straight down into a canyon or lake or something - they get a say in the parts coming off and where they go to be able to help you. After all, if the Great fairies ask for the parts to improve your armour with, they've probably done this sort of thing with those parts before. The dragons know what's up with Link seeking them out XD
The dragon parts needed to upgrade armour sets: Am I a joke to you?
I actually liked that the dragons were just there, as a part of the environment. Not everything needs a quest line attached to them.
Yoooo, i agree so much with this. To much are things in open worlds not just there to be seen and interacted with. Due to numerous reasons, but the parts that are just there to be stumbled upon and figured out by the player are definitely the best and most memorable parts of open world games
Too many ppl don’t understand that. These dragons are just apart of nature, not necessarily something u need to kill. Ppl are too use to western dragons.
hmmmmmmmm
I remember I was at one of the lakes that farosh spawned at and I was hunting some fish when I heard a loud noise behind me, it's probably my favorite moment from botw.
OH MY GOD I WAS CATCHING FISH ON THAT DAMN LAKE AND FAROSH SMACKED ME OUT OF THE WAY SAYING "MOVE BITCH"
@@jadeandblood lol
I like how you say certain words. Especially _draygen_ We have a bearded dragon and we call her a _draygen_ .
Haha, I try not to and it just comes out like that 😆😆😆
@@NintendoBlackCrisis It's the best/only way to say it.
I just realized that I pronounced dragon as dray-gen now that you said that aha
Gloomfall Extreme you’re in the club, man. 🐉
MrPooPooJohn 🐉 Yep!
When I first played BoTW blind, the first thing I did was cross the big bridge near the plateau. Suddenly, a giant green dragon appeared and I watched in wonder as it flew by. I tried shooting it, and was rewarded with a scale. I wish I could relive that moment.
First time I met it at the same bridge, I chased it down until the lightening balls killed me.
Farosh scared the shit out of me the first time I saw it. I was in mid glide after jumping off the bridge and when I turned the camera to look around a huge green head just popped out of nowhere, follow by an electric shock that dropped me before I can get away. The dragons gave me the creeps until well into late game after that, and the corrupted Naydra certainly didn't help.
Drio they drop a scale whenever you shoot them anywhere on the body other than their horn, claws, and teeth
Eugene Thomas I know. I already know most stuff about the game
wow you're brave me just ran away praying that it didn't notice me
So what if the dragons are physical incarnations of the Triforce to protect them? Maybe Naydra only fell to Malice when Zelda used her Triforce, and Ganon used that moment to trap Zelda by attacking Naydra? I agree some of it is more symbolic than anything, but I feel like this makes a little sense. It would explain where the Triforce is.
I think my favorite thing I've noticed about the dragons is their spawn locations. Unless I've missed some (which is always possible), Farosh always spawns from water (from the earth) while Naydra and Dinraal both spawn from the sky (from the heavens). To me this parallels our three recurring LoZ characters - Zelda and Gannon both originate from non-mortal sources (I'd use "divine", but that word generally has a good connotation to it, which Demise certainly isn't) while Link is a mortal hero.
One of my favourite things about the dragons is the dichotomy between the themes of Malice-infected Naydra and the usual dragon theme. So masterful
Those tracking shots of the dragons were beautiful!
"I haven't even mentioned the dragon imagery appearing on Gannondorf in both the Windwaker and Twilight Princess. But that's a whole other can of Wyrms."
....I'll see myself out.
finally talking about the dragon gods
I have a quick question: what is up with the tingle islands? They're named after an iconic group of characters, and they're surrounded by sky stalkers, extremely late-game enemies, but why are they so heavily guarded? There's barely anything there, besides one shrine, so why does Ganon hate the islands so much that he sends an army of sky stalkers to guard
Also, unrelated thought, Do you think that the temple we see in the BOTW2 trailer could be what's hidden behind the 8th heroine? Think about, an ancient pilgrim place of reflection watched over by a reflected heroine, but when something awful happens, the 8th heroine is dragged from her place to cover it up so quickly that her sword is left behind, and erased from history to keep what is behind her sealed forever
but hey, that's just a theory, A Nintendo Theory!
P.S. This is ported over from the last video to see if I get any answers
Ganon still remembers what happen in windwaker, where tingle and his brothers helped that times link find the triforce shards.
So now tingle island is fortnoxed.
Maybe some Hylians tried to flee on those islands but were hunted down by the Guardians?
The names are just references.
Just about everything is named after iconic characters and places from previous games. It’s simple.. it doesn’t mean anything. It could have been named anything and those guardians would still be there. The call backs to other characters are Easter eggs and a tool for developers to catch new players up on the history and lore and to get new players into older games. Everyone is looking into everything way too much. For example the zonai. Creating a champion says by a developer the zonai were just a design tool to explain a sense of ancient. So they created a mystery group to explain away ruins. They left them as a mystery so they wouldn’t have to spend time explaining them. Just a tool. Could they elaborate on them in the future.. sure but as of now they mean nothing. Just like the names and design aspects of botw means nothing. Some people just look too much into nothing.
@@mattlawrence6077 yes, here is this pointless, but very heavily guarded, series of islands. Eh, best not worry about it, prolly not important
I would love to see a more detailed version of that Goddess flowchart that includes beings like Jabujabu/Jabun/The Wind Fish, Valoo/Volvagia, etc.
I really appreciate the chart you used to demonstrate the hierarchy between the deities/dragons, as all those relationships are something that I have wondered about since I was little!
Me: I want to watch Zelda stuff
TH-cam: Vote for Mike Bloomberg
Me: No.
Big gay ice cream
So you mean no as in being mad of an ad or you aren’t voting for some guy.
@@justaguy3983 I mean... it was mike Bloomberg. The only logical thing was to not vote for him
The dragons will be a mystery for awhile only way we know is in the sequel
Honestly, there's a lot of mysteries in botw to the point where I don't think a sequel will cover them all. Unless of course they made a trilogy
i hope some of the mysterys dont get answered look at what happened to alien they ansered to much and now the franchise has gone to shit alot of the alure of botw for me is how mysterious it is
But, we must not forget the biggest God in the zelda universe
Beedle like obviously
Oh my flying spaghetti monster I SWEAR I thought you were gonna say Tingle
Nah Tingle is the strongest god in the Zelda series.
I still want to strangle him to death with the whip because I bought everything he would ever sell in the game and THEN I got his bug for him and he gave me a discount I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO USE.
@@BirdieSenpai haha I feel your pain beedle is useless in Phantom Hourglass too.
@@lsmith6046 He's a God to the Yamatami tribe. *wink* *wink*
Watching this video after Tears of the kingdom comes out and finding out who the light dragon is and wondering if these dragons were people too
Id love to see this revisited now that TOTK is out and the info we got from the Geoglyphs quest and also the dragon imagery with the Zonai Also very interested in the imagery on Ganon and the the dragon imagery that shows up in the twilight realm as well.
NBC: interesting stuff
me: is that mystery dungeon music?!
Glad someone else caught that too!
He also used the Dragonspiral tower music from Black/White
Wait...DRAGONspiral Tower
facepalms
Dude, This needs a follow-up video about those three dragons now that TOTK is out.
Zelda: *Has the Triforce of wisdom*
Also Zelda: *Prays at the spring of Wisdom once*
in this game, she seem to have... all of them? have a look at the cutscene where ganon's sealed.
@@irishmanfromengland25 yep, seems like the entire triforce has been passed down through the royal bloodline, to the point where no one, not even king roham, remembers it
love dragons, especially naydra Edit: wow thanks for the likes
My six-year-old just beat the great plateau and is starting to explore. So much fun to watch
Nice!!!
I feel like this video doesn't acknowledge the fact that in Japanese, "god" and "spirit" are the same word. Any theory based on the English version that doesn't take that into account is flawed.
I do think that the reason Naydra alone was corrupted is because of its tie-in to Zelda, both being the embodiment of Wisdom and Zelda using all her power to contain Ganon. Perhaps she is also preventing Dinraal--Ganon's matched-pair embodiment of Power--from being corrupted and running a rampage. For all we know, Farosh was corrupted all the while Link was asleep, only shaking it off when the hero awoke, which could be the reason that Farosh split the mountain into the Dueling Peaks, blinded by Malice.
"It appeared to be a dragon... and it was massive".
Yeah I get that alot 😏😏
You fail to mention the part where people shoot it, sometimes out of terror
"If someone asks you if you're a god, you say: YES!"
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Server
Just realized...
That's PMD music in the background! Nice choice!
@Steelixir 427 There's multiple iirc. Don't quite feel like rewatching the entire video... Pretty sure the one I heard was Temporal Spire though.
watching this video in 2023 and knowing the actual reason for the dragons being that they ate secret stones
Yes I also thought these “gods” had a lot to do with the story I thought that you could gain the trust of there respected shrines and have them help you in the final battle with Gannon but no and I thought it was a missed opportunity
The only word I heard in this whole video was “dreygon” lol
i keep hearing "Din-RAIL."
SAME. I had to stop watching over "jreggin" pronunciation ... I could deal if the word wasn't said ... constantly.
Disturb not the harmony of fire, ice, and lightning...
Oops, wrong series
You're right, though.
Hylia = Lugia
What-
You’ve really nailed the cinematic scenery shots in this vid!
I remember seeing Farosh for the first time. It was amazing. I took a picture instantly. The dragons are so interesting.
00:52 yeh I was making my way to rito village for the first time via tanagar canyon and I saw this weird dragon going past me I thought it was a boss too so I shot then I saw a shiny thing hit the ground. It was "dinraals scale" I had no idea what it was
Edit: I also have a theory that since the gods created the triforce naydra is Zelda's protecter dinraal is ganons and farosh is links
the coolest man74619 than why does farosh shoot lightning bolts at me when I have no stamina left 😂
They should've had all 3 dragons having to be saved from Malice and additional quests for each of them for a total of 6. They were so cool looking and way under utilized
I’m rewatching this after TOTK came out and I think you should revisit this beacuase of what happened to zelda when she turns into a dragon.
I love that essentially all of breath of the wilds story is tokd through environmental design, searching around the world for little tidbits about what happened was so much fun i hope they keep that in future games
Revisiting this video now that TOTK is out. Spoiler discussion ahead!

So in one of the memories Link uncovers, we learn that to become an eternal dragon is done by swallowing a secret stone, but one’s identity, memories, and personality are lost upon doing so (with one notable exception). Who, then, were the people that swallowed secret stones in order to become Dinraal, Naydra, and Farosh? I like to think that the oracles Din, Nayru, and Farore were those figures, but I have little to base that on besides their names. Anyone else with some thoughts? Can’t wait to see Zeltik follow up on this video with what TOTK adds to the lore!
I said the same things when I seen Zelda eat the secret stone. Dragon Zelda description said it’s like the spirit of light which it also said for the other Dragons
Excited and terrified are the exact words I used to describe my first reaction to my friends
Farosh could still be a water dragon in the sense that maybe its element isn't specifically lighting or water, but weather itself, thus giving it control over wind, lightning, and water/rain. In some eastern mythologies dragons supposedly create clouds to walk on and have the ability to control the weather
Spoiler warning:
okay, Tears of the Kingdom kinda Shows some dragon transformation.
Before the Zonai came down from the Heavens the Gods gave them the Secret Stones that increase the powers with which they are born with.
And by eating these stones they turm into Dragons with no known 100% safe way to transform back.
They exist as eternal Dragons living outside of Time and flying around with an immortal life yet with the cost of losing themselves.
The Real Reason Naydra Was Corrupted By Malice
In Ocarina of Time...
Ganondorf: Yes, I owe it all to you kid!
Din: Hmm, this dude's got strength to spare. Them triceps.
Farore: Really brave too. Takes balls to go after the Triforce.
Din: What do you think, Nayru? Wise?
Nayru: Nay.
Din:
Farore:
Naryu: Ru.
Din:
Farore:
Nayru: See what I did there?
Din:
Farore:
Nayru: He's swole. Just give him power.
In Breath of the Wild...
Naydra: I sure love flying through the sky and being named after Nayru.
Calamity Ganon: I'm about to end this dragon's whole career.
I freakin loved this game. I was mesmerized by everything , but when I saw the dragons.... my mind was blown. I encountered Naydra first but assumed it was gone once we break it free. But when I was at the tower by Lake Hylia I saw a dragon in the distance and thought it was Naydra at first. When I rode towards it I realized it was a different dragon! Ugh!!! It gave me so many chills. It still gets me excited every time I see them. Love this game! 💕💕💕
I love your dedication to the utmost research while making your videos!
I watch your videos at work and then get on my laptop to give you a thumbs up. I love how much thought you give to these games that you transform them into mythology
One time in the game I saw a statue or something like that that was the shape of a dragon... When I got the paraglider I came back to it was gone
People: nice video
Other people: nice PMD music
Me: You used the theme from Dragonspiral Tower in BW, I applaud your thematic tastes.
I love your videos- listening to them is very calming! Your voice is amazing and your theories likewise!!
Just came back from a long day of school, I couldn't wait to watch this video when I got home! Love it, dude!
0:18
Masterpiece can differ from viewpoints. A game as a whole in a retrospective? No.
As a work of art? Yes, absolutely, not even close to not being so.
I'm still watching the video, but I heard PMD music so I needed to pause and comment that. Good taste my friend!
The first time I saw Farosh I was wandering around Hylia bridge and had a heart attack when I saw him, I thought I had accidentally stumbled across a boss fight or smth. Now I find myself chasing after all of the dragons, either to get a body part I need off of them, listen to the music that comes with them, or just vibe and watch them gracefully fly by. They truly are some magnificent creatures, I hope that we can see them more in BOTW2
Nice vide othank you very much !
Hehe the mention of Rinkuto ! Yeaaaah ! I am French and he is just amazing with his deep work on every theory he has covered. Happy that everyone is helping each other to make theories, through the language barrier
The feeling when you don’t shoot the dragons is a feeling of pain(On my account, I have made a collection of dragon parts, so looking at the dragons without shooting them is very painful).
They fly away faster when you shoot them.
Fatherbrain really??
@@aperson9284 yes, plus, they immediately basically go "peace out" after you shoot it with an arrow, so they'll fully leave for possibly up to the rest of the night when you do so
@@aperson9284
When you shoot at them, they imidietally leave the current plain of existance through the portal.
But you probably already observed that.
A Person I have parts because It makes me feel a little bit closer to them.

"The Legend of Zelda: Links to my Twitter and Patreon"
God I know Rinkuto he collaborates with all of you while being french. That's really rare and really cool to see.
Tout mon soutien Rinkuto t'es le best ♥️
The fact that they are part of the world and are something you can stumble upon or miss is exactly what made them so powerful to me. Making them a bigger part of quest lines or the main story would have removed the magic.

Almost haiku...
...well, not quite
:·p
It’s especially interesting to consider the deities and spirits that are “lost to time” because every time that happens historically, it’s related to horrible human rights abuses and religious erasure. So like, who made Hyrule forget about these gods?
maybe its ganondorf trying to get people to forget
The first time I saw one of the dragons it was Farosh, I saw his silhouette around lake Hylia and I remember how terrified I was, my thoughts were like “oh wtf is that? Wtf is that? WTF IS THAT?!” but when I got near the bridge it had disappeared, after that I didn’t find him for a while and took me sometime to realise they have specific locations and times to appear.
I LOVE the use of Mystery Dungeon music. It fits SO well with your videos :)
I wonder what the dragons' vector paths in 3D show something when looked at a certain angle... maybe combined....
Huh, just realized the colors of the Golden Goddesses when combined in lights, creates white, but when combined in inks, creates black. Naturally light, but dark when imitated. Gerudo, living between hot days and cold nights, wearing beautifully colored fabrics, seem more in touch with the nature of life and death. Is that why Gerudo males lose their minds?
Maybe with an all-female culture there is no way to teach males their spiritual and cultural traditions? The males lose their minds because they are either taught as though they were female, or not taught at all, and have no frame of reference? An interesting idea.
It's interesting that Farosh has electricity as its element, but the Gerudo also have a connection to electricity/lightning as found with Urbosa and her Divine Beast.
There's no other connection between the two, so why the same element?
Because dragons. There is zero connection
My theory about Corrupted Naydra was that it was corrupted not long after Zelda was at the Spring of Wisdom and Calamity Ganon probably planned that the princess would return to the Spring when she and Link flee after the attack and plead for answers, only to find the dragon infected by malice and attack her on the spot.
One thing you failed to notice, at Lake Hylia, Farosh goes into sort of a hole formed high in the sky, which I will call the Dragon Hole. The Dragon Hole, in my opinion, represents the spirits who created Hyrule, went to when they were done with their business. I haven't visited Dinrall or Naydra, though I believe they too travel to the Dragon Hole when they're done floating around. I just wanted to point this out, since this is the one thing you failed to mention, and I felt the need to inform you about it.
i never understood why faron in SS was a water dragon, that made me so mad and confused when i played it.
My question is why is the spring of wisdom on the right of the spring of courage. If these springs are supposed to present each piece of the triforce than why is the spring of wisdom place on the right not the left. The gods can take physical form just how the goddess hylia turned into Zelda in order to protect the triforce. Love These Zelda Games!
Matthew Dickendasher I don’t think the location is meant to be a physical representation of the triforce. You’re looking into it too much. The locations meaning goes back to SS.
Fun fact in ToTK you learn that if you swallow a secret stone you turn into a dragon hich means there's a chance the dragon used to be people
I like that you used it the Dragonspiral Tower music when you started talking about the Dragons’ appearance in dungeons. Nice touch
Also Dinraal, Farosh, and Naydra’s elements match the elements of Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem, which I think is really cool
Oooh I'm early and I love dragons my day is made
you should change the title to "Are the Dreggins Gods?"
The elements do kinda match up, though, just not directly. Wind and lightning are both associated with the sky, and ice is just another form of water. Also, PMD music is always an awesome choice👍
10:58 the nostalgia you brought back with this music 🥲

Checks out
They're all jut dues who ate some glowing rocks.
Yeah but why three? And how long ago? Did the three reincarnated goddess ate them?
i love all of your videos so so much. I've been binge watching your videos while i've been replaying BotW
This dude sounds so nice. "Thank you for taking time out of your daily schedule to listen to me talk about video games". I literally stream these videos all day long because Zelda Videos and this dudes voice is insanely soothing for my anxiety. So thank you, dude. You keep me sane.
That theory aged poorly
Sorry to ruin the theory, but no. The dragons aren't gods- *spoilers for people who haven't played totk*
The dragons are people who ate secret stones from the Zonai, who are the actual gods of this world. These dragons were people who didn't heed the warning of the Stones: " to swallow a secret stone is to lose one's-self " they became an immortal Dragon and Don't remember who they are. They have a purpose or a reason to do something, or something idk. Zelda is an example, she became a dragon to help link. But she doesn't know who link is, and wants to stop Ganondorf, but doesn't know who he is. They have reasons to be dragons but can't remember why, there just a husk of their former self, forever cursed to roam the skies of Hyrule and never go back to a normal life.
It's a theory before totk no need to say. "Uhhh acthually your wrong so no"
Totk is not canon.
Really interesting video Will, enjoyed this topic a lot! :)
Nice!
I've only recently began to watch your videos and each one is amazing. And I'm looking forward to part 2 of the zuni stuff
