      The Zora tablet that retells the events of Ocarina of Time seems to be a deliberate attempt to confuse fans trying to place the game in a particular timeline as it implies that BotW takes place in the Adult Timeline... in which the Zora are extinct. The meaning of the "ancient sea" is hotly contested, with the other candidate being the Lanayru Sea from Skyward Sword. The Goron mining logo isn't a Dodongo footprint, it's the symbol for the Goron's Ruby.

      @beefarren ปีที่แล้ว +379

      I was thinking this too! I buy that Bokoblins are generally poor shots, but for Lynels it's much a much weirder thing to consider in-universe. Maybe it has something to do with their vision, or a cultural thing? (I mean, it's probably just down to an artistic choice by the animators but it's much more fun to try to figure out an in-universe reason lol.)
      It makes much more sense for Moblins not to close one eye, since their eyes are positioned on the sides of their heads and their cones of vision probably have little overlap, so their brains must be built to process two vision input streams at the same time. It also means they would have terrible depth perception, which seems pretty legit to me given how they fight in-game.

    • @DarkAngelBluejay
      @DarkAngelBluejay ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Closing an eye while sighting ruins your depth perception, thereby throwing off your aim. No actual Archer or Marksman would close an eye. It is an invention of fiction. and really makes no sense at all when you think about it.

    On the "closing one eye when using a bow" thing, you actually want both eyes open in archery so you can have depth perception. This is especially true if the bow you're using has no sights. The bokoblins do that to show they're not great at using a bow

    Bonus info: the reason for Link wearing blue did indeed end up being to contrast the green landscape, but initially it happened because during development, the devs actually imported Wind Waker Link’s model into the game, the model was wearing the iconic blue lobster pyjamas. The devs ended up liking the contrast with the overwhelmingly green landscape, and that’s hope we ended up with his blue tunic!

    My headcanon for the "Link being able to carry over 155,000 items" thing is that Link only carries the items he has equipped and the rest are carried by the Sheikah Slate. Like, they're just coded into it and Link can take whatever he wants whenever he wants. Instead of using his pockets, he uses the Sheikah Slate to storage all of his stuff. Thus he also sees what we see when we open the inventory, as it's just something inside the Sheikah Slate. He opens the Sheikah Slate and sees what we see when we are into the inventory screen
    I think it's anyway pretty stupid though. Don't really mind about it
    Edit 1: OKAY GUYS, I THINK THIS MAY ACTUALLY BE HOW IT WORKS???
    You see. When you start a new game and open your inventory BEFORE getting the Sheikah Slate, the inventory won't show up! That basically means the Sheikah Slate IS what Link uses to storage all of his items throughout the game!

    So my major question here towards the end of the video, is why was it that the entire triforce lit up on Zelda’s hand? In all of the other games it depicts her only having one piece that glows on her hand, but now the entire Triforce appears. Are they trying to retcon the other two being in possession of Ganondorf and Link?

    • @beefarren
      @beefarren ปีที่แล้ว +47

      So my personal headcanon here is that Zelda's incarnations are actually in full possession of the Triforce by the time of Breath of the Wild, its just that knowledge of what the Triforce actually is and how to access its full power has been lost over the millennia. This is not entirely unprecedented - in the Downfall timeline, the Royal Family supposedly has possession of the full Triforce for many generations, before it's split apart by the King of Hyrule in the backstory of Adventure of Link (presumably to keep his greedy, spoiled son from using it poorly.)
      This headcanon works particularly well if you place BotW directly after Adventure of Link, since that is the only "canon" timeline that ends with the Triforce reunited and in the possession of the heroes. That works either with a Downfall Timeline placement or an "all timelines lead to BotW" merged timeline placement, but my favorite is actually the Extended Child fan-canon timeline, which places all of the Downfall games after Twilight Princess.
      Either way, I don't think it's a retcon. Ganondorf and Link have both been shown to be capable of using the entire Triforce in previous games, and whether or not they are in possession of the pieces varies from game to game. To me it seems more like they are the "preferred" bearers of the pieces when the Triforce is not united, rather than it being a given that they always have them.

      @@beefarren It should be a RetCon...while simultaniously being not a Retcon. Because, iirc BoTW is supposed to be the canon convergance of every timeline the Zelda universe has. No matter what happens, no matter the Timeline. It all converges at somepoint into the story we have in BotW. It doesnt matter if its adult timeline, child timeline. Where Link won or lost. BotW is supposed to be inevitable no matter what.
      Many believe Nintendo only made it that way...or tries too, to finally give TLoZ universe a singular, connected timeline from BotW onwards. As it is kinda messy to follow through and to make it easier for Nintendo to tell a interconnected story and timeline of TLoZ.

      @@tramachi7027 I was only responding to OP's thought that by giving Zelda the whole Triforce (maybe) the writers intended to retcon Link and Ganon being the holders of two pieces. The retcon comment wasn't about the timeline, just about the holders of the Triforce.
      With that said, I know about BotW's supposed place in the canon timeline, but given that I think that is Dumb I have elected to ignore canon in this case lol. That's a whole other conversation, though!

    If I’m not mistaken, there’s two schools of thought when aiming a bow or firearm. Some people close one eye while others keep both eyes open, so it’s not unlikely that the developers included this detail in the game intentionally

      @TheTonyExpress  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good call on the IST, thanks! And youre right, i totally said the ancient shield while talking about shields being able to surf as good as it because it's second best, but I should have said "second only to the radiant shield" 🤦‍♂️

  • @Aderon
    @Aderon ปีที่แล้ว +40

    The reason why Moblins don't close their other eye when aiming is that because of how their head is shaped, they only have a narrow range of binocular vision; so when they turn their head to aim at you, they don't need to close their other eye since it can't see what they're aiming at anyways.

    Jade is most likely found among the sky islands that we will visit in Tears of the Kingdom and that’s why Revali has some. Because he can fly. And the color theme of the game also seems to be green so it’ll be interesting to see if the material shows up.

    The pins being 0-4 is similar to how computer code works with things like arrays (which are basically just a grouped collection of a variable), where if you have an array that can store 5 variables, they're indexed 0,1,2,3,4 instead of 1,2,3,4,5

  • @IkkezzUsedEmber

    Moblins not closing one of their eye makes a lot of sense to me! They are portrayed as impulsive and clumsy, so them turning their head to use one eye, but not thinking to close their othet eye seems very fitting

  • @isaacb5804

    I think my favourite callbacks to other games in breath of the wild were the names of certain locations. Before breath of the wild I had only ever played majora's mask and so when I first played botw I was surprised to see that some of the lakes near zora's domain were named after characters from that game (Mikau lake, Lulu lake, Toto lake).
    The other day, I finally finished skyward sword and opened up botw. I teleported to a random stable and when looking at the map I noticed the three bridges next to it were named after three teachers from the Knight academy from skyward sword (Owlan, Horwell and Eagus).
