@@my_resume_is_a_bad_bitch4281 One not wll known fact is that The Hero of Twilight actually knows Rasengan and learned it with the help of Gengle the cat
I only know this image because of the meme “Zelda stand back I’m going to jutsu this dude” “hear THAT? He’s gonna JUTSU you! What are you gonna do about it?
My thoughts exactly! Whether it was before or after the story takes place the two of them grew close, it wouldn't surprise me if they had fun and decided to dork around
It's a picture of Link using the Shadow Clone Jutsu to have a shadow clone take a picture of him and Zelda post-game, after the entranceway to the Great Plateau was cleared and Zelda did a ritual to purify the Temple of Time. This is just them goofing off afterwards.
Fun fact, if you take a picture of the final memory while in the hut, you will actually pull out your Sheikah Slate and look at it when you find the spot. While if you don't do that you will just think hard then the cutscene will start. Know this because on my first playthrough I did this.
I took a picture of it before it was revealed to be the final memory since I figured it might be relevant later. I was surprised when the Sheika Slate came out and showed it, as I remember when taking it no special information about it came up on the camera rune.
What if it was a "new memory" that was going to be in a cutscene of Link and Zelda at the end, just goofing off after beating Ganon? It would help Link's outfit make sense, even if Zelda's doesn't quite fit
I think so too, the post 120 shrines cutscene might’ve been of Zelda and Link having fun around Hyrule. Since from Maz Koshia we see that most of the Yiga Clan’s abilities are taken from the Sheikah, maybe this would’ve been depicting Impa or another character from Kakariko teaching Link a special technique while Zelda tries to surprise him
My other theory was that this was a memory of the hero and princess from 10,000 years ago stored within the Sheikah Slate itself, it’d make sense if the wild set and the slate was owned by this past hero
@Kristopher Dreemurr yeah the devs said that this is the most expressive link they've made so it isn't really out of character. Remember in the game when your taking photos link can do so many different poses
@Kristopher Dreemurr - also if this is finally after Zelda's apology and the time in her diary musing that he CAN talk a lot, I can see them sharing a fun moment like this. Especially if Zelda herself spoke of being tense or wishing she could just relax and enjoy herself. As he takes his service seriously, he would gladly take part in a playful pic
Basically what everyone said and Nintendo of America is a bunch of dicks who took away Link's personality which we saw more of in the adventure logs, which were actually his diary. In Japanese the logs have link's thoughts, comments, etc., and is in his POV. Plus, they messed up some voice dialogue too. Not surprising since they have a bad translation reputation.
I’m guessing it was just a joke for the devs factually, but canonically, I had the odd, stray thought that it might have been the Link and Zelda that we don’t know, the ones from 10,000 years ago, just goofing off. Maybe they took the picture then and, when the slate was found by the Royal Family and Impa & Co., it was secretly still sitting there really deep in the files.That would explain the Tunic of the Wild, since it’s 100% possible he had one of his own, which further explains the difference in coloring and slight design change between the one in the picture and the current one.
@@Inventor9029 We don't know the relation between the Links, but Spirit Tracks Zelda is the granddaughter of Tetra, the Zelda of Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass.
What if Purah told link she could teach him how to teleport like the Yiga, and Zelda’s just sneaking up to prank him further, and purah had the slate ready to catch the moment
Now that Age of Calamity has come out, Link's pose here actually reminds me of Impa's special attack. Which makes me wonder if maybe this is his using a similar attack or power?
I imagine he accquired this skill trying to gain Impa's blessing to hook up with Paya, showing that after her passing he will be able to help Paya lead the clan.
I think that this image shows Link trying to learn how to use his ability to slow down time, similar to the memory in the rain where he was training with his sword. This pose is often used to show that someone is trying to concentrate really hard. In Daruk's training journal he wrote the following: "The little guy is also incredibly strong! He said sometimes when he focuses, it feels like time slows down" So Link had already noticed that he has this ability but he hadn't mastered it yet. Zelda is smiling and looks like she's about to spook him, which makes me think that this was a late memory that was supposed to show how their relationship has changed and that Zelda isn't uncomfortable around him anymore, but happy and palyful.
This would have had to have taken place sometime after the game though, as Link is seen wearing the Hero of the Wild set. The set you get for beating all 120 base game shrines. It could be possible that this was supposed to be a special cutscene for beating all 120 shrines, however.
@@jordanertz3034 I think his outfit could simply be from an earlier version of the game and they never updated it as this memory remained unused in the end. Who knows at which point in the developing process this image was created.
Honestly I suspect this was just a memory that was scrapped, the Wild set is obviously a reference to the way Link dressed in previous games, its not unrealistic to say he would have access to them before the calamity. Its also possible that the armor and pose was just a placeholder while they worked on the actual memory, before ultimately scrapping it. Zelda looks like shes playing around or having fun, possibly sneaking up on Link while hes training in his more casual clothes. I suspect this scene would have existed to show a more lighthearted side of their relationship, which is noticeably absent in most of their other memories. Its also possible that this image shows Link and Zelda together to demonstrate the self portrait feature, which I find it hard to believe Zelda would never have used...
@@janTesika To be completely fair, the image IS from before the full game was polished, because of link's "tunic of the wild" outfit being a little outdated. It could be a mock-up version of the whistle (?)

I like to imagine one of the developers was messing around with links posing and thought it would be funny to have him do the shadow clone jutsu pose, and accidentally putting it into the game files
Link is in a pose that the Yiga soldiers and Master Kohga use before attacks, while Zelda is in a pose that resembles the “battle-ready stance” that Yiga traveller NPCs take after deceiving Link, but before they attack. It’s possible that this picture could be a screenshot of a test of the animations for the Yiga traveller NPCs, so that they could have a frame of reference for later on. That’s my theory at least.
I actually think this was reused in AoC, the scene where Astor is harvesting the souls of the Yiga members and Sooga is defending Kohga, there is a part that looks extremely similar to this shot, they put “Link” in the back and “Zelda” in the front but replaced their in game models with Kohga and Sooga... idk I could just be stupid
Went back to rewatch that scene from AoC and your absolutely right- both poses are almost identical (but with Sooga being in front of Khoga while Zelda is behind Link) and so they totally could've recycled the same animation. Neat catch!! Makes you wonder what Zelda would look like with 2 wind cleaver swords-
@Arenzen and you just cracked the code. It’s possible it was an inside joke amongst the developers joking about his Link would go into a thousand year slumber or 1,000 years of death

Hope you guys enjoy the grand return to BotW videos!....Although that might not be the case haha. No idea what to upload this weekend, might be another BotW video, or another theory from a different Zelda game. Either way, have a great week! Oh yeah; and I almost forgot...it's possible that the picture is also of some scrapped ability Link would have learnt from the Sheikah/Yiga? The pose is strikingly similar to the latter, so who knows... 😉
Yeah I'm sorry I can't agree with you on this one. You need to remember that there was supposed to be a third DLC. The third DLC was turned into breath of the wild too because they had too many ideas. This was supposed to be available after the defeat of Calamity Ganon. Before the second half of the game and what would be expanded to become breath of the wild 2 begins. It's kind of obvious go back and remake the video you know better
@@briandoe5746 here's a thought. Did it come from the original files of the DLC files? If it came from the original, then I think it's safe to say that it really is a scrapped ending
Maybe instead of being a memory from prior his 100 year slumber, it was meant to be a photo seen in the end credits of Link and Zelda goofing around while Link is in the Hero of Wild set that would only appear if you aquired the said set. Like a secret bonus for those dedicated enough to complete every shrine. However, that ended up being cancelled due to how this photo doesn't end up showing in the end credits. That's my theory.
Man that's a brilliant idea, imagine if there were photos of Link and Zelda goofing around post-game where Link wears every full set you own while the credits roll, and if you missed out on one full set then that photo doesn't show up or appears as blank
Personally I would have liked the game to have more memories, like remembering something after Kass sings the final song when he returns to Rito village
This is crazy, I thought it was photoshopped!! Could you imagine if this *was* forgotten memory? Zelda: Link do you remember when I obliterated that moblin with a rasengan? Link: A What!?!
Well, Zelda did try to make Link eat a frog. Dressing him in the classic robes and making him try to learn Yiga magic sounds like something she would totally do.
I feel like this image was a memory could’ve been for dlc which was repurposed into the sequel. Just a fun little epilogue memory after all the other memories and shrines.
i'd like to think that Link wanted to do the teleport thing that the yiga clan does by copying their hand movements. Zelda saw Link, noticed he was very focused, and decided to sneak up and scare him. Hilarity ensues
All the other memory pictures are presumably taken by Zelda herself, hence why she doesn't appear in them. But in she *is* in pict_013. That combined with Link's Yiga pose makes me think this may actually be a group of Yiga Clan members in disguise, who somehow got a hold of the Sheikah Slate and started messing around with the camera.
1:05 actually no, there are still 2 flowers there. If you noticed they moved the one in line with the other. You can see them swaying in a different pattern. They are just close and look like one flower.
@@jenniferchough yeah all he need to do to see they only moved them is go in game as the cutscene is just a prerecorded version of the same area (sad as I prefer in game footage as it makes upscaling the game easier in the future). The 2 flowers are still there in game as well. He just needs to be a little more observant. 🔍🧝♀️
Not to mention if you have played the actual game and gotten to this point you will notice there are always two flowers to the left and one to the right. They consistently respawn this way even after harvesting them.
It looks to me kind of like a fun "bonus image", perhaps it was at one point intended to pop up at the end of the credits if you'd hundred-percented the game.
I've literally been watching a bunch of your videos for the past few days, including just now, because I'm ready for more BOTW2 content. I was pleasantly surprised when I refreshed my TH-cam and saw you post a video 5 minutes ago! Can't wait to see what this is about.
In Age of Calamity, playing Impa’s burst allows the player to see a small cutscene where Impa preforms the hand gesture seen in the picture to summon her symbols. Furthermore, the Yiga clan is the rebelled Shiekah that didn’t want to serve the Princess. Maybe Link was learning ancient Shiekah magic?
Have you considered this IS in the past and was before Link officially became a royal knight? That simply because the clothes were in a shrine doesn’t mean he didn’t have access to the clothes themselves at one point, say, before he had a uniform of some sort? We know his family had a past with the royal family so it wouldn’t be out of question for Zelda to be with him in that period.
I like to think it was meant to be some sort of "True Final Ending" when you get 100% completion of the game, and it shows you moments of complicity between Link and Zelda on their journey to rebuild Hyrule.
Could be, but on the planned sequel they seem to be using the blue clothes. Can also mean that Link binged on Naruto and since he saw Koga doing those movements, he thought he could do something like the shadow clones and been testing ever since, and Zelda is making fun of him because of that.
I just thought it was an additional reward for getting all 120 shrines aside from the Tunic of The Wild. You know, similar to getting the secret envelope from Simon after completing the Compendium, but instead you would get this secret picture after completing all 120 shrines. I don't know how you would obtain it, but just my thought....
More than anything I’m more interested in the old design of the Tunic of the Wild. It’s brighter and cooler looking than the newer design and is reminiscent of its design in Master Works / Creating a Champion
This could’ve been a memory before link became a champion. Maybe the image was taken on the day or sometime before he became a champion and he was doing something with Zelda on the great plateau.
The picture looks like link is about the do shadow clone jutsu Edit: Turns out, the hand sign that link is doing is not shadow clone, it more closely represents shadow possession jutsu or like what others have said on this comment, the Kakashi thousand years of death. I am merely here to deliver factual and correct comment on my favorite Zelda theorist video. Edit (2): Holy crap, thank you eveybody, I have never gotten this many likes on a comment. If you want to support me more, my dad said he would buy me a pc if I get 1k subs with no videos. So plz sub
It's literally just "Zai" handsign of Ninja meditation. Given the fact that you need all 120 shrines to get that tunic, I'd argue that was tied to a sort of "100% Completion bonus" cutscene at the end of the game. Likely Link, donning his new clothes as the Hero of Wind, given to him by the Shiekah, and meditating, after all, pretty much EVERYTHING you do in BotW is related to the Shiekah, Hyrule's resident ninjas, I would argue Link would probably take a moment to train under Impa, who would obviously teach him the Shiekah handsigns for meditation purposes. I'd argue, the original reward for all 12 memories wasn't the "true" ending beforehand, that was a given, instead, the reward was a cute little scene in the past, involving Zelda spoiling Link's meditation training in the past. And originally, Link was going to wear the Tunic of the Wild either from the outset, or in the past.
I think in that case rather than a scene in the past it would have been part of the Epilogue scene if you killed "Ganon" after getting the 12 memories and all 120 shrines to show Link continuing to practice meditation as he and Zelda rebuild and now that Zelda has lost the weight of her "destiny", she's more playful and relaxed
Oh, I know what's going on here... Zelda is secretly a perverted princess that wants to see link do the Reverse Harem Jutsu. Zelda even tried to delete it ( -_-) Smh Zelda

@@bastienlafleur5838 toilets play a pretty prominent role in this franchise actually I can actually immediatly think of 2 different games like majoras mask and skyward sword.
everyone says zelda looks playful and like she's sneaking up on link in this, but honestly she almost seems... condescending in a way, and her body language to me suggests she's talking or explaining something. here's an alternative theory - what if it IS a memory or cutscene, but it's the yiga clan having tried to impersonate zelda and link? and as I've seen some suggest in the comments, the wild set could have been a placeholder outfit for link, before switching to the blue champions tunic. that screenshot could be "link" and "zelda" having been caught and preparing for a fight.

Shadow Clone Jutsu is two fingers from each hand together in a "t" shape
not me
I actually thought of both of them
@Arenzen and you just cracked the code. It’s possible it was an inside joke amongst the developers joking about his Link would go into a thousand year slumber or 1,000 years of death

Thank you NBC very cool

@@VariableZero Hello, Internet, and welcome to Game Theory!
That would be terrifying.
@@Anthony8851 you mean amazing
its just link living out his anime dreams man- let him be
if im being honest its probably just the devs having fun and it just happened to slip into the files
After playing Age Of Calamity the picture makes me think it’s the two of them goofing off and making fun of Impa or Yiga Clan.
"but this pose is very familiar.." Naruto!!!!!!
"The yiga clan.." wtf
They are probably making fun of the yiga clan
Apparently everyone thinks making a hand gesture originated from naruto.
@@VisorByte true, but if you pay attention you will notice he was taught it, so it is much older u.u rxtgtvhyhyybub it was not originated but it was popularized, more than braile, and that is sad lol
@@bromicorn idk, it would be weird but funny xD
@@VisorByte I mean, it was clearly a reference to Naruto. What kind of person makes that hand sign? Someone who isn't using Shadow Possession Jutsu?

Zelda is in the pose Yiga " travelers" use before they attack you
It kinda looks like they're mimicking Nabooru's and Darunia's sage stances to me.
"Stand back Zelda, I'm gonna jutsu this guy"
"You hear that? He's gonna JUTSU you! What are you gonna do about it?"
Hope you guys enjoy the grand return to BotW videos!....Although that might not be the case haha. No idea what to upload this weekend, might be another BotW video, or another theory from a different Zelda game. Either way, have a great week!
Oh yeah; and I almost forgot...it's possible that the picture is also of some scrapped ability Link would have learnt from the Sheikah/Yiga? The pose is strikingly similar to the latter, so who knows...
😉
Ok
NintendoBlackCrisis or maybe something else 😏
Not gonna lie, I've never seen that image until now
Yeah I'm sorry I can't agree with you on this one.
You need to remember that there was supposed to be a third DLC.
The third DLC was turned into breath of the wild too because they had too many ideas.
This was supposed to be available after the defeat of Calamity Ganon.
Before the second half of the game and what would be expanded to become breath of the wild 2 begins.
It's kind of obvious go back and remake the video you know better
@@briandoe5746 here's a thought. Did it come from the original files of the DLC files? If it came from the original, then I think it's safe to say that it really is a scrapped ending
I've always wondered what the pic was
I hope to learn more about your kind in the sequel Bluepee e
@@AlexG32777 ahha same
Maybe instead of being a memory from prior his 100 year slumber, it was meant to be a photo seen in the end credits of Link and Zelda goofing around while Link is in the Hero of Wild set that would only appear if you aquired the said set. Like a secret bonus for those dedicated enough to complete every shrine. However, that ended up being cancelled due to how this photo doesn't end up showing in the end credits. That's my theory.
Man that's a brilliant idea, imagine if there were photos of Link and Zelda goofing around post-game where Link wears every full set you own while the credits roll, and if you missed out on one full set then that photo doesn't show up or appears as blank
Personally I would have liked the game to have more memories, like remembering something after Kass sings the final song when he returns to Rito village
In the past we tried so hard to analyze Da Vinci's paintings
Today we trying so hard to analyze unused file in a game.
when you think about it we still analyze da vinci's work,
I hope someday we're still analyzing video games from 600 years ago
Da Vinky
Maybe at one time in development, it was a “Thanks for playing” screen/Easter egg after the true ending and all 120 shrines
Yeah, that's what it struck me as. Sort of like the ending images in Smash Bros.
That sounds likely =D
This is crazy, I thought it was photoshopped!!
Could you imagine if this *was* forgotten memory?
Zelda: Link do you remember when I obliterated that moblin with a rasengan?
Link: A What!?!
Link Naruto running oh god
"why do i hear boss music?" lmao that joke gets me to sub haha
Well, Zelda did try to make Link eat a frog. Dressing him in the classic robes and making him try to learn Yiga magic sounds like something she would totally do.
Triforce Style: Sealing Jutsu!
I feel like this image was a memory could’ve been for dlc which was repurposed into the sequel. Just a fun little epilogue memory after all the other memories and shrines.
This comment is so underrated that makes so much more sense
@@arowyn.m yeah
Imagine this was just the result of one of the workers messing around and the others just never took it out of the files or never found it
i'd like to think that Link wanted to do the teleport thing that the yiga clan does by copying their hand movements. Zelda saw Link, noticed he was very focused, and decided to sneak up and scare him. Hilarity ensues
All the other memory pictures are presumably taken by Zelda herself, hence why she doesn't appear in them. But in she *is* in pict_013. That combined with Link's Yiga pose makes me think this may actually be a group of Yiga Clan members in disguise, who somehow got a hold of the Sheikah Slate and started messing around with the camera.
Or maybe Link was just pretending to be a yiga
1:05 actually no, there are still 2 flowers there. If you noticed they moved the one in line with the other. You can see them swaying in a different pattern. They are just close and look like one flower.
Oops just saw this and made the same comment lol. But yes, totally right.
@@jenniferchough yeah all he need to do to see they only moved them is go in game as the cutscene is just a prerecorded version of the same area (sad as I prefer in game footage as it makes upscaling the game easier in the future). The 2 flowers are still there in game as well. He just needs to be a little more observant. 🔍🧝♀️
Not to mention if you have played the actual game and gotten to this point you will notice there are always two flowers to the left and one to the right. They consistently respawn this way even after harvesting them.

I think it’s a gift for link when you 100% the game with everything, and Zelda being either:
1. A ghost
2. Actually there
it looks like the one scene in age of calamity where kohga says ‘i cant split you’re my best lackey.’
It looks to me kind of like a fun "bonus image", perhaps it was at one point intended to pop up at the end of the credits if you'd hundred-percented the game.
it would be funnier if it was 100% the game, while also wearing the tunic of the wild
Fun fact: korok seeds take up 72 of the 100 percent game completion

Same thoughts huh
I've literally been watching a bunch of your videos for the past few days, including just now, because I'm ready for more BOTW2 content. I was pleasantly surprised when I refreshed my TH-cam and saw you post a video 5 minutes ago! Can't wait to see what this is about.
In Age of Calamity, playing Impa’s burst allows the player to see a small cutscene where Impa preforms the hand gesture seen in the picture to summon her symbols.
Furthermore, the Yiga clan is the rebelled Shiekah that didn’t want to serve the Princess. Maybe Link was learning ancient Shiekah magic?
Have you considered this IS in the past and was before Link officially became a royal knight? That simply because the clothes were in a shrine doesn’t mean he didn’t have access to the clothes themselves at one point, say, before he had a uniform of some sort? We know his family had a past with the royal family so it wouldn’t be out of question for Zelda to be with him in that period.
Glad to help with getting those files, and great video!
Yay great youtubers
Wow i love your channel
Annoying Bokoblin hey
Hi Annoying Bokoblin!
It feels like Zelda was doing a bokogoblin pose!
It does look like it! It's possible it is same pose, since Boko's probably just used a squashed version of humanoid skeletons.
I like to think it was meant to be some sort of "True Final Ending" when you get 100% completion of the game, and it shows you moments of complicity between Link and Zelda on their journey to rebuild Hyrule.
Exactly what I thought.
I like to think that the player could only access this image if they binged Naruto shonen and shippuden.
Totally Not A Bar of Soap . . . Done that. It didn’t show me anything different XD
Could be, but on the planned sequel they seem to be using the blue clothes. Can also mean that Link binged on Naruto and since he saw Koga doing those movements, he thought he could do something like the shadow clones and been testing ever since, and Zelda is making fun of him because of that.
"Why do i hear boss musi-"
"HELLO INTERNET, WELCOME TO GAME THEORY"
The creators who just made a naruto joke and forgot to remove it: *Surprised pikachu face*
I just thought it was an additional reward for getting all 120 shrines aside from the Tunic of The Wild. You know, similar to getting the secret envelope from Simon after completing the Compendium, but instead you would get this secret picture after completing all 120 shrines. I don't know how you would obtain it, but just my thought....
i’ve seen that picture online multiple times but i just thought it was modding or fan art didn’t think it was literally in the game files lmao
"Why do I hear boss music?"
You f*cking legend.
This is two Yiga clan members disguised as Zelda and Link
Your channel is underrated keep up the great work on your theories and analysis videos there all rly entertaining!
Link is just gathering his chakra,
"Shadow clone jutsu!"
"You heard that? he's gonna jutsu your arse! whatcha gonna do about it!"
More than anything I’m more interested in the old design of the Tunic of the Wild. It’s brighter and cooler looking than the newer design and is reminiscent of its design in Master Works / Creating a Champion
Im deaf so thanks for the subtitles at the beggining, gloop gloop glub glub ogggggh fooooooood blooooop glub to you too :)
haha!! cute
*BOSS MUSIC*
This could’ve been a memory before link became a champion. Maybe the image was taken on the day or sometime before he became a champion and he was doing something with Zelda on the great plateau.
i know this was before age of calamity but in age of calamity he wore soilder clothing since he was a soilder of hyrule
The picture looks like link is about the do shadow clone jutsu
Edit: Turns out, the hand sign that link is doing is not shadow clone, it more closely represents shadow possession jutsu or like what others have said on this comment, the Kakashi thousand years of death. I am merely here to deliver factual and correct comment on my favorite Zelda theorist video.
Edit (2): Holy crap, thank you eveybody, I have never gotten this many likes on a comment. If you want to support me more, my dad said he would buy me a pc if I get 1k subs with no videos. So plz sub

@Wil E no its gotta be
Honestly I just thought it was a meme the devs put in and forgot about
It's literally just "Zai" handsign of Ninja meditation. Given the fact that you need all 120 shrines to get that tunic, I'd argue that was tied to a sort of "100% Completion bonus" cutscene at the end of the game. Likely Link, donning his new clothes as the Hero of Wind, given to him by the Shiekah, and meditating, after all, pretty much EVERYTHING you do in BotW is related to the Shiekah, Hyrule's resident ninjas, I would argue Link would probably take a moment to train under Impa, who would obviously teach him the Shiekah handsigns for meditation purposes.
I'd argue, the original reward for all 12 memories wasn't the "true" ending beforehand, that was a given, instead, the reward was a cute little scene in the past, involving Zelda spoiling Link's meditation training in the past. And originally, Link was going to wear the Tunic of the Wild either from the outset, or in the past.
maybe impa is training link for him to make a peace treaty with Clan Yiga so they could stop attacking everyone and help rebuild hyrule
I think in that case rather than a scene in the past it would have been part of the Epilogue scene if you killed "Ganon" after getting the 12 memories and all 120 shrines to show Link continuing to practice meditation as he and Zelda rebuild and now that Zelda has lost the weight of her "destiny", she's more playful and relaxed

Wowie, such an interesting video man! I LOVE how much is hidden within video games ESPECIALLY in Breath of The Wild! It's literally a game full of secrets, easter eggs, mysteries and so much more! Really enjoyed this one Will :D
Whenever the Game Theory music came on, I thought you were doing a collab with MatPat😅
Eegeee 13 Yeah I got excited I really don’t like a lot of TH-cam or‘s are riffing on each other right now I think that is a community we should really not do that to each other

Then i was depressed when I found out it was just a joke
Me tooo he never does those anymore it’s sad
I have a question no one has asked why isn't there any toilets in Zelda Breath Of The Wild? Is it Crapity Ganon who took all the Toilets a way. And if there isn't supposed to be any toilets than where do they poop?
@@bastienlafleur5838 toilets play a pretty prominent role in this franchise actually I can actually immediatly think of 2 different games like majoras mask and skyward sword.
I guess they use the bush since this is about the wild
FINALLLY! Someone's asking the questions that matter!
Buckets?
i’m gonna take a star off hyrule for their questionable hygiene practices
everyone says zelda looks playful and like she's sneaking up on link in this, but honestly she almost seems... condescending in a way, and her body language to me suggests she's talking or explaining something. here's an alternative theory -
what if it IS a memory or cutscene, but it's the yiga clan having tried to impersonate zelda and link? and as I've seen some suggest in the comments, the wild set could have been a placeholder outfit for link, before switching to the blue champions tunic. that screenshot could be "link" and "zelda" having been caught and preparing for a fight.
Dammit, I knew Zelda would tell everyone about my passion for shadow clone jutsu...
Lmaooooooooo
You are not Link only Link would know it was a shadow possession Jutsu
Now that’s the pose of a boy who wants to be Hokage.
As many times as I have played that game. This is the first time I have seen that picture. Very strange of how that picture is.
because it's not accessible in game. it's dummied out in the final product but still in the game files. just unused.
5:41 All I can think of is that meme where it's like "Back up Zelda, I'm gonna fucking jutsu this dude." "Her THAT? He's gonna fucking JUTSU you! The FUCK are you gonna do about it?"
Link is holding the camera and the Link in the picture is Impa using a disguise technique
