Gabe The Babe How about if you would be a individual with your own mind instead of joining a braindead , childish society? Being a single drop in the ocean of mindless and boring people doesn’t sound like a liveable existence imo.
When I was a kid I used to think that ramp shaped block of ice where Jabu Jabu used to be _was_ him, frozen. It was a pretty creepy thought at the time.
My guess would be that Lord Jabu Jabu was killed by ganondorf, since he’s regarded as a deity by the zora, and ganondorf seems like the kinda guy who would want to kill a deity.
And I am guessing the hidden thing by the table, maybe that is a nod to Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link on the NES where you find a mirror for a woman under the table in her house in Saria town. That's the only thing I can think of.
7:51 “Ok he’s a boy so we have to name him Ganondorf. Let’s hope this goes better than last time.” “Hey Moms I’m gonna go steal this trident now.” “Godammit.”
LOL makes me wonder WHY do they need to name them Ganondorf. 😏😐 ¿Maybe if they had different names they wouldn't want to obtain the Triforce and conquer the World? ¿Or maybe it's just that Demise's Curse likes to brainwash the minds of all the Gerudo women who have been pregnant with his "vessel"?
@@javiervasquez8995 I like to theorize that "Ganondorf" is a name of importance to Demise and his curse, but every time a Gerudo king is born, the legend of the past Dorfs' transgressions has already faded into vagueness. Most times a Zelda game references a past game in the series, Ganon and his incarnations are just called by titles like "the king of darkness". Like, if the desiccated corpse seen in the BotW 2 trailer is indeed the most recent Ganondorf, we can already see that no one in BotW 1 seems to remember him by name, only referred to when it's brought up that Urbosa was partly motivated to do good by the crimes of a past Gerudo king.
I feel like half of these mysteries are the developers forgetting things then saying to each other, “shit... bro I forgot to put it back in the game... you think miyamoto will notice?” “Nah bro... don’t tell him.”
In OoT for N64, you can see the skeletal remains of Jabu Jabu from the bottom of his lake. Just use the iron boots to get the heart piece and look up at the big block of ice. It always made me sad to think I walked on his remains to progress the game.
@@jadethenidoran No, it's not in the 3ds version. Makes sense why the Zora evolved in WW. Jabu Jabu was buried in a caved (hence the angler fish light on his head, acting as a lantern). They changed their deity, which changed their nature. In ALTTP they had no deity and went feral. And in the child timeline he never dies, so there is no change.

"They are nothing like any conventional ghosts we've seen before in the series" If you want to base mysteries on the games being inconsistent we are going to be here all day.
Javier Vásquez I don’t know, I’ve always embraced the inconsistencies. It’s called the “legend“ of Zelda for a reason. It’s almost as if every game is a story that has been passed down and reinterpreted in different eras.
I love imagining the possibilities in these mysteries, but I concluded years ago that many of these are the result of some designer going "we'll put this here" or "we'll make that blue" and that's it. Us: "What could it mean?!" Funnily, I think that only in recent times (due to the fan-base voice via the internet) do Zelda developers make more than a passing effort at meaningful mysteries.
I still remember the video that introduced me to his channel, the Twilight Princess HD Castle Town carvings speculation. I hope we get more trailers and theories for BotW 2.
@@SSDARKPIT I don't know if that's something to trust or not, but I've read lots of people saying there might be a new Nintendo Direct for Christmas. Let's hope there will be Botw in it :)
I find it interesting how Dragon Bone Mire is located so close to Rito Village, with bones that are so particularly massive. Especially given how in the original introduction of the Rito in Wind Waker, they were shown as only gaining wings upon receiving a scale from the titan sky spirit Valoo, a massive dragon. One of the largest we've physically seen alive in the series. While I doubt those bones actually belong to him, I do think that they're likely an intentional reference.
Maybe, but I always thought that the convenient placement of the ice floes in the adult era was suspiciously close to exactly where jabujabu used to be. But who would want to eat a fish-sicle?
For me it was in ocarina of time, playing some peaceful zelda lullaby opening the grave but then getting attacked and molested by creepy screaming redeads in the crypt.
@@daleyhuard3675 They do, but I find it hard to believe that throughout Hyrule there are dozens of perfectly sized rocks who were just waiting to be carved into skull hideouts by armpit smelling Bokoblins. Though, the pattern in how they look could be just a gameplay function to let the player know exactly what they are. Like how almost every enemy platform in The Wind Waker looked pretty much the same.
@@Lucas-db2jq Are you saying the bokoblins smell like armpits? Or are you saying they spend their time smelling their armpits? Either way, how do you know?
Theory about the ribcages found in hyrule, and why they are always only ribcages and spine: they all belonged to one animal, one titanic, literal world serpent.
I had always just assumed the bones were the remains of the leviathans, and they were maybe the ancestors of the three dragons or ancient sea creatures like the one you fought in Twilight Princess.
1: Yeah that is weird. It's even weirder how you can easily glitch into the dungeon inside of him as adult Link, almost as he is still there somehow. Personally I just assumed that Ganondorf killed Jabu-Jabu and froze Zora's Domain through Morpha, maybe not even in that order. I feel he would have done the same to the Deku Tree had he not died already from Gohma's infection. 2: I hate them, they are very creepy. I think they are just ghosts of the soldiers slain during the Twili Invasion, however they are TURNING into Poes due to the immense grief they carry. Maybe that's why they look so jarring and act so stiff and strange. A small part of them is clinging to their memories and sanity from when they were alive and trying to help Link overcome the challenges and avenge them somehow. 3: This is really something that I'm not sure we will ever see an answer. I like to think of the Trident as a countermeasure to the Master Sword, perhaps crafted by demons for their king to help him in his conquests. I also like that the writing on the stone tablet in the Trident's resting room sounds like a salesperson trying to get you to buy their evil weapon. I'll tell you what, I'd LOVE if Ganondorf wielded the Trident in Smash Bros. 4: Oooooohhhh boy, I remember being completely puzzled by this one when I was younger. I searched every nook and cranny and crack for a solution to this and nothing. As far as I am aware it was part of a sidequest that got cut out but the Flagship devs forgot to take out the text that triggers near that wall, and thus it was dutifully translated into English when localized. In my headcanon though? Link's grandpa or even Link himself hides hyrulean porn under that table. And Ezlo wants some dat. 5: Maybe the Hylians and others call these the bones of "dragons" just because the fabled dragons that roam the land (Naydra, Farosh and Dinraal) are the largest creatures they can think of. So they saw this huge bones and were like "Oh those are big like the dragons! They are the bones of dragons!" They don't know any better. Or any bigger. Within the game's lore? That really is a mystery. Now video game ambience and design wise? I believe Aonuma and his team just thought it would look pretty dope to see all these curvy ribcages and skeletons around the explorable map.
1. Funny thing is you can still do that in the 3DS Remake. 2. They were quite disturbing. Yet another reason I personally call TP the darkest Zelda. 4. Same that's what I was thinking.
Lucas maybe the bones were from a Stallord like in Twilight Princess, it's the closest thing to that size and is fossilized so that would mean they are all extinct and their bones are out and about Hyrule.
I like to think that the bones are all part of the same massive creature that covered the entire expanse of Hyrule multiple times over. Something similar to the World Serpent from Norse mythology
These mysteries are so interesting! I loved finding the Graveyard in Twilight Princess. Sometimes I wish Breath of the wild had graveyards spread throughout.... it would kind of make sense wouldn't it? Also, I'm glad the sand seal at 12:10 is having a good time.
In the Minish Cap, Ezlo was talking about the Big Rupee hidden in the garden outside your home. You can dig it up using the Mole Mitts Edit:fixed Spelling
Oh my god I didn't even know about that Twilight Princess area, I'm ashamed. That's the kind of reason why I love this channel, even my favorite games still have secrets I wouldn't be able to discover by myself.
The area isn't required. Like he said in the video, you can go there to get an extra small key, so you can access the room at the top of Hyrule Castle with like a dozen treasure chests. However, there's nothing requiring you to access this room, so you can totally finish the game without going to the graveyard.
3:35 - What are you talking about? Jabu Jabu is still there. Put on your iron boots, zora tunic and look up. You see his frozen corpse above you textured in the ice. The exposed ribcage means JabuJabu died some time before Zora's domain froze over.
I've got to say that Zeltiks british accent really adds to his videos. When just listening to the content it really feels like some ancient knowledge is being read to me, if that makes any sense. Love it.
That bit with Ezlo, I'm pretty sure, is just a joke about Link having hidden stuff in his room, as is common in tropey Japanese media, with teenaged boys' rooms.
I always thought the Minish Cap mystery was just a wink to Link hiding R18 stuff. That’s why the “I won’t tell anyone” part. Kinda like Rita’s drawer in Tales of Vesperia if you ever played that game. Could be just me not poking around enough though.
Do you have the slightest idea on how little sense that makes? For starters, their body structures don't match the bones. Another thing, Hyrule and Termina are in two separate worlds. There's no possible way for the giants to be found in Hyrule.
I honestly think that it's the dragons from the other timeline, since they're in the original two games in the series. maybe in breath of the wilds timeline they were extinct love before the games take place.
In regard to the secret in Link’s room, I’ve noticed a theme in some video games. Something very similar happens in Toadstool’s room near a chair in SMRPG and in Rita’s dresser in her room in Tales of Vesperia. You discover something that the character is very secretive or embarrassed about, and are quickly yelled at by the character and told to stay out of their stuff. If I had to guess, I think this may be very subtle adult humor. Since this is the third game I’ve seen this in, I have a feeling this may be a common kind of joke in Japan. Can’t say for sure, but that’s my theory.
I'm pretty sure this is correct. It probably helps that Capcom made this and not Nintendo. I feel like it's not something Nintendo would put in, but other companies certainly might (a similar example can be found in Peach's castle in Super Mario RPG)
BOTW2 idea: While plunging into vast, underground caverns beneath Hyrule, you stumble upon an ancient, hibernating Leviathan... *Boss Health bar fills*
The mystery thing in Link's room could be Majora's Mask, which can be found in the corner of Link's house in A Link Between Worlds. The skeletons look about the right size for King Dodongos - a type of dragon that doesn't fly.
Here is a CRAZY theory, what if all of the races in botw are some sort of minish and all the giant skeletons are the regular races from before botw and other games
@@nonoctoro4933 Jabun could STILL be his descendant regardless of having a different dessign given that Valoo was said to be Volvagia's/Vara's descendant from Ocarina of Time yet looks nothing like him. In the end you can always explain the different appereance as either "evolution" like the Zora and Rito in TWW or just "because magic".
I actually think I heard or read somewhere that that "secret" spot in Link's room in Minish Cap was to have something to do with the E-Card Reader, or whatever it was called, that launched late in the GBA's lifespan, iirc. No idea how well it did in Japan, but here in the US, it didn't really take off as well as they had hoped. Idk if it still has functionality in the Japanese version or not, or if this was even the case; that's the theory, however. Like you said, it may just be leftover data... or it could be another case like the Ice Key in Banjo-Kazooie, where a planned feature doesn't pan out the way they would have liked, and thus we get a piece of dead-end content like this one. I do wonder if someone could datamine the game and find out someday, tho. I'm immensely curious, and have been since I was young and first discovered that most annoying of secrets... A more thorough look can provide a lot of interesting details.
No, it’s a dirty joke. It’s a common gag in japanese entertainment media for teens to hide dirty mags in their room, and usually there’ll be a pushy, funny character trying to call the main character out. ’I won’t tell anyone so show me’ Haha
@@scrung I don't think that that's what it was supposed to be, given that Link in this game isn't a teenager, and that iirc, there reportedly WAS supposed to be Ereader functionality for this game. Tho that could be apocryphal information.
Hey Zeltik, I recently replayed Twilight Princess and while doing the Twilight Realm dungeon I noticed a lot of similarities between the Twili “technology” and Sheika tech in BoTW. Think there are any connections there?
The fused shadow form looks like a guardian. Midna has red eyes like a sheikah and the helmet she wears - a piece of the fused shadow - has an eye, technically giving her a "third eye". Her magic is potent yet zant' s death is almost...barbaric. I don't blame her for fearing it; and ganondorf calls the fused shadows old magic. The people of the wind are the oldest group in the zelda lore; they are the group that were sent skyward during hylia's reign and the floating rock became Skyloft. As most should understand, history will inevitably be lost, locations will be renamed if an official one cannot be found, reasons for leaving will be forgotten or not told to a young boy because such things are not important to his current mission
I think I finally have a theory for what Ezlo was talking about in Minish Cap. The way he says, "Show me!" I think implies... Link himself hid something there. Perhaps in a corner or under the table... what I think is supposed to be implied is that Ezlo is asking Link where he hides his "literature." Unless it was literal cut content, it's the only thing I can think of that would make sense for that line without something literally being there.
Awesome video and love your content. The ghosts at 6:30 are definitely Hyrule soldiers. They look strikingly similar to the ghost of hero of time in the same game- deformed and demonic looking skeletons
@@nonoctoro4933 There are some around the minecart tracks in Death Mountain that don't seem like they are purposefully placed there. Also on the island with the decayed forest full of Wizzrobes near the castle, and other places... I would say that the skulls are real (and came from the same creatures as the ribs), and could be moved/rolled with some teamwork. If I were to wager what kind of creatures these were I would say they are probably unlike anything we've seen in Zelda, perhaps like the Giant Warrior from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind."
I finally got a Switch and BotW, and aside from just being able to play the game and explore it for myself, I'm so excited to actually be able to watch your BotW content! I've avoided most of it in an attempt to not be spoiled, but I LOVE your videos and I'm so excited for so many more of them to be opened up to me.
Okay so two suggestions here: How do fish survive winter!? Jabu Jabu is still a fish, you know? So these dragon bones are all that remains of the dragon species? What about the three specimen still roaming Hyrule?
Technically, Jabu-Jabu is whale, which is a type of aquatic mammal - more akin to dolphin than to fish. Because of this, they are warm-blooded, meaning that they are reasonably unaffected by changing seasons. It's likely either he died from injuries sustained from Barinade or was killed by Ganondorf directly to attempt to bully the Zora into submission although it could just be a lack of space that so he left to larger waters.
"I sense something unusual here" "I won't tell anyone, so come on! Show me!" Hmm. I think the best explanation is that Link is keeping a diary and Ezlo wants to take a look
Here’s my theory on the haunting ghosts in the graveyard: Remember the failed link who looks like a zombie who teaches link sword skills and stuff? Him and the ghosts look similar. Maybe they could be failed ghosts of knights who are still alive. Hope you look into this.
The minish cap mystery might be a reference to the mirror side quest in zelda 2. The mirror is under a table, and link actually has dialogue in the game. Just a thought to throw out there. Love the video
Ezlo's comment might be referring to the red rupee buried outside, near the lower left corner of Link's house, which respawns endlessly, making it easy to farm a lot of rupees. Maybe the implied canonical explanation is that this is Link's secret rupee stash.
10:40 my guess is that, that's supposed to be a joke about young guys hiding their dirty magazines under things. Alot of anime does that joke so that's why that's my guess
Jabu Jabu is actually still there, kinda. He's just invisible ;P You can get into Jabu Jabu's belly as adult Link if you know where his loading zone is.
Isn’t Jabu jabu incased in ice underwater somewhere I have this memory of finding him, maybe I’m wrong or it might’ve been a dream but I feel like I found him somewhere.
Jabu Jabu died, it's all but directly stated. Ruto says he's been looking "green around the gills" and when you enter his body you kill multiple parasites that had taken root in his body. The implication is that Ganondorf cursed Jabu Jabu like he cursed the Great Deku Tree. Conveniently also with a parasite, Gohma. He survives and later passes. The Wind Waker shows that Jabu Jabu either had offspring or reincarnated as you see another giant fish named Jabun that speaks the hylian tongue, a remnant of OoT Hyrule.
I just stumbled across Hyrule gamer the other day. He’s great. In my opinion a lot of the good Zelda you tubers are derivative of Zeltik. They try to copy his style down to the thumbnails. But that’s not a bad thing. I would too. And ya gotta love Zeltik for always shouting out other Zelda TH-camrs. Retweeting them. He obviously doesn’t have to. Hell of a guy.
@@nonoctoro4933 She has very likely passed away(apparently due to a car crash). 🙁😔 No one suddenly leaves social media without saying a SINGLE WORD. 😳 I just hope she managed to at the very least play BotW before she died. 😢
To the final mystery about the gigantic bones littered throughout Hyrule, There are some other bones that are proportionately the same size as the gigantic rib cages/spines. The giant skulls that Moblins like to use as their homes. There's hundreds of them all over Hyrule but they never seem to be in the same place as the rib cages. Some are even piled up together. It's almost like whatever killed these giants decapitated them and moved the heads far away from the bodies for some reason, even collecting them sometimes.
there's a mini-boss in Links Awakening on switch, IIRC that once you knock of its helmet, it's face looks exactly like those unknown ghosts in Twilight Princess
For Number 4, I'm just gonna chalk it up to a cheeky Easter egg. I mean, it's something hidden, under a table, sitting with the WALL at your back... … ...actually, let's abandon this train of thought. Isn't Link meant to be, like 11 or so in Minish Cap? EUGH!!!
Thoughts on Jabu Jabu. In the downfall timeline we know some of the Zora took Jabu Jabu and moved out to sea, where they remained the friendly fish like Zora we see in OoT, and can be met in the Oracle games. Meanwhile the remaining Zora became the more frog like river Zora who'm also seemed to have had a major falling out with the Hylians, and spit at any passer's by. Now considering this is the route things were probably on their way to before adult Link arrived and put things right creating the adult timeline, we can probably assume the Zora who escaped freezing also took Jabu Jabu and fled. Those who remained would of course be thawed out, but likely switched deities to Valoo, and eventually became the Rito under his influence over the next thousand years or so.
Ezlo states that there's something unusual in Link's room, I think there's something or someone hiding either under the table or in the walls. Rupees? Blacksmithing tools? Weapons? _Link's grandma's bones?_ Maybe something haunts the house.

My favorite unsolved Zelda mystery is what happened to the hero of time?

@@daleyhuard3675 They do, but I find it hard to believe that throughout Hyrule there are dozens of perfectly sized rocks who were just waiting to be carved into skull hideouts by armpit smelling Bokoblins.
Though, the pattern in how they look could be just a gameplay function to let the player know exactly what they are. Like how almost every enemy platform in The Wind Waker looked pretty much the same.
@@Lucas-db2jq But they're clearly stone, and a totally different texture from the all of the bones in the game.
I think in Creating a Champion it's mentioned that all the skulls are carved stones
@@Lucas-db2jq Are you saying the bokoblins smell like armpits? Or are you saying they spend their time smelling their armpits? Either way, how do you know?
Theory about the ribcages found in hyrule, and why they are always only ribcages and spine: they all belonged to one animal, one titanic, literal world serpent.
North Mythology ?
¿God of War style? Maybe the Zelda franchise takes place in the same universe as GoW lol. 😅
oh god imagine fighting that
Eren's founding titan .
Titanic? More like GARGANTUAN
I had always just assumed the bones were the remains of the leviathans, and they were maybe the ancestors of the three dragons or ancient sea creatures like the one you fought in Twilight Princess.
The large bones in Breath of the Wild could be mere fragments of a single, truly colossal Volvagia-like dragon. Just a random guess.
or an ouroboros, which would explain just ribs and spine but nothing else.
I personally think that these "dragon bones" are also Leviathans, or maybe a cousin of the species.
there have different skulls, form some with horns to more moblin-like
I would say some related to leviasa and some to the giant dodongo
Maybe moldugas? That would explain why we only see the spines and ribs?
1: Yeah that is weird. It's even weirder how you can easily glitch into the dungeon inside of him as adult Link, almost as he is still there somehow. Personally I just assumed that Ganondorf killed Jabu-Jabu and froze Zora's Domain through Morpha, maybe not even in that order. I feel he would have done the same to the Deku Tree had he not died already from Gohma's infection.
2: I hate them, they are very creepy. I think they are just ghosts of the soldiers slain during the Twili Invasion, however they are TURNING into Poes due to the immense grief they carry. Maybe that's why they look so jarring and act so stiff and strange. A small part of them is clinging to their memories and sanity from when they were alive and trying to help Link overcome the challenges and avenge them somehow.
3: This is really something that I'm not sure we will ever see an answer. I like to think of the Trident as a countermeasure to the Master Sword, perhaps crafted by demons for their king to help him in his conquests. I also like that the writing on the stone tablet in the Trident's resting room sounds like a salesperson trying to get you to buy their evil weapon.
I'll tell you what, I'd LOVE if Ganondorf wielded the Trident in Smash Bros.
4: Oooooohhhh boy, I remember being completely puzzled by this one when I was younger. I searched every nook and cranny and crack for a solution to this and nothing. As far as I am aware it was part of a sidequest that got cut out but the Flagship devs forgot to take out the text that triggers near that wall, and thus it was dutifully translated into English when localized.
In my headcanon though? Link's grandpa or even Link himself hides hyrulean porn under that table. And Ezlo wants some dat.
5: Maybe the Hylians and others call these the bones of "dragons" just because the fabled dragons that roam the land (Naydra, Farosh and Dinraal) are the largest creatures they can think of. So they saw this huge bones and were like "Oh those are big like the dragons! They are the bones of dragons!" They don't know any better. Or any bigger.
Within the game's lore? That really is a mystery. Now video game ambience and design wise? I believe Aonuma and his team just thought it would look pretty dope to see all these curvy ribcages and skeletons around the explorable map.
1. Funny thing is you can still do that in the 3DS Remake.
2. They were quite disturbing. Yet another reason I personally call TP the darkest Zelda.
4. Same that's what I was thinking.
I thought the same thing for 5
Lucas maybe the bones were from a Stallord like in Twilight Princess, it's the closest thing to that size and is fossilized so that would mean they are all extinct and their bones are out and about Hyrule.
I like to think that the bones are all part of the same massive creature that covered the entire expanse of Hyrule multiple times over. Something similar to the World Serpent from Norse mythology
@@dbcks5790 that's a pretty cool theory that I agree with
These mysteries are so interesting! I loved finding the Graveyard in Twilight Princess. Sometimes I wish Breath of the wild had graveyards spread throughout.... it would kind of make sense wouldn't it?
Also, I'm glad the sand seal at 12:10 is having a good time.
In the Minish Cap, Ezlo was talking about the Big Rupee hidden in the garden outside your home. You can dig it up using the Mole Mitts
Edit:fixed Spelling
Its just 20 rupees that you can get over and over (infinite rupees trick)
What is Link hiding?
Jabu Jabu.
Cdi games
Lol
Nah dude hes hiding links secret milk stash
uhhhh his *sock*
Oh my god I didn't even know about that Twilight Princess area, I'm ashamed.
That's the kind of reason why I love this channel, even my favorite games still have secrets I wouldn't be able to discover by myself.
That area in twilight princess is required to finish the game.
@@ominousvirus5278 I've finished TP thrice and I had never seen those ghosts before watching this video
I’m pretty sure there’s a small key in the graveyard, but maybe I’m wrong.
The area isn't required. Like he said in the video, you can go there to get an extra small key, so you can access the room at the top of Hyrule Castle with like a dozen treasure chests. However, there's nothing requiring you to access this room, so you can totally finish the game without going to the graveyard.
Ok, I see how I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying it.
12:23 "Hinoxen" I don't think I've ever heard the plural of Hinox. I don't think I'd ever even thought about it.
I love it.
Well, the plural of words ending in ox is oxen...
@@kjn3350 That's not true. The plural of Ox is Oxen, yes. But the plural of Fox isn't Foxen. The plural of Sox isn't Soxen. Boxes aren't Boxen. Ect.
@@Ray-Danger I'm sorry, I meant the Anglo-Saxon words, which Hinox, to me, sounds like.
@@Ray-Danger Oh, I also believe the proper plural of fox is foxen, and what is a Sox?
@@Ray-Danger I bought 2 boxen of donuts!
I'm about to go to bed, but when I check my phone I see a new Zeltik video, "Eh, sleep can wait."
3:35 - What are you talking about? Jabu Jabu is still there. Put on your iron boots, zora tunic and look up. You see his frozen corpse above you textured in the ice. The exposed ribcage means JabuJabu died some time before Zora's domain froze over.
I've got to say that Zeltiks british accent really adds to his videos.
When just listening to the content it really feels like some ancient knowledge is being read to me, if that makes any sense.
Love it.
Just imagine all of the lore Nintendo is holding onto.
I honestly don't think that there's a lot.
We all know what Link was hiding in the corner.
owo
I was hoping I wasnt the only one to realize haha ;)
wat
edit: ^ joke.
Jokes a joke
A mirror. He's hiding a mirror. It's under the table.
10:23 personally, I think Ezlo is hinting at the infinitely respawning red rupee outside Link's house.
That bit with Ezlo, I'm pretty sure, is just a joke about Link having hidden stuff in his room, as is common in tropey Japanese media, with teenaged boys' rooms.
Dig the area outside the house. There's infinite rupees out there.
Also reminds me of in SMRPG where you can examine the chair in Toadstool's room.
I always thought the Minish Cap mystery was just a wink to Link hiding R18 stuff. That’s why the “I won’t tell anyone” part. Kinda like Rita’s drawer in Tales of Vesperia if you ever played that game. Could be just me not poking around enough though.
This is literally my favorite video format, together with theories!
Keep up the great work!
Imagine if the dragon bones weren't dragon bones at all, but rather the Guardians from Majoras Mask
The bones don't match their bodies
Do you have the slightest idea on how little sense that makes? For starters, their body structures don't match the bones. Another thing, Hyrule and Termina are in two separate worlds. There's no possible way for the giants to be found in Hyrule.
@@RyukoRokkuno Nintendo confirmed that Termina and Hyrule exist in the same world.
@@TsukimuraMidori ? Where!?
I honestly think that it's the dragons from the other timeline, since they're in the original two games in the series. maybe in breath of the wilds timeline they were extinct love before the games take place.
Who wants popcorn? I just made a fresh batch
Jeffrey Webb lol wut
No thanks, mine’s better
Nah, I’ll stick to my custard creams.
Do you have any dill pickle seasoning?
Ill take some
In regard to the secret in Link’s room, I’ve noticed a theme in some video games. Something very similar happens in Toadstool’s room near a chair in SMRPG and in Rita’s dresser in her room in Tales of Vesperia. You discover something that the character is very secretive or embarrassed about, and are quickly yelled at by the character and told to stay out of their stuff. If I had to guess, I think this may be very subtle adult humor. Since this is the third game I’ve seen this in, I have a feeling this may be a common kind of joke in Japan. Can’t say for sure, but that’s my theory.
I think in the minish cap, it's a reverence for hiding a porn book
Zelda's underwear he stole 😳😳
I'm pretty sure this is correct. It probably helps that Capcom made this and not Nintendo. I feel like it's not something Nintendo would put in, but other companies certainly might (a similar example can be found in Peach's castle in Super Mario RPG)
It's a Zelda 2 reference. You find a hidden mirror in that game under a table.
Yup. XD
@@strifera theres also a mirror in the dark basement of links treehouse in twilight princess. Seems to be a recurring thing.
BOTW2 idea: While plunging into vast, underground caverns beneath Hyrule, you stumble upon an ancient, hibernating Leviathan... *Boss Health bar fills*
I never knew about the castle graveyard in Twilight Princess and I can't tell you how many times I've played that game. I can't believe I missed it!
The mystery thing in Link's room could be Majora's Mask, which can be found in the corner of Link's house in A Link Between Worlds. The skeletons look about the right size for King Dodongos - a type of dragon that doesn't fly.
Wow I never knew about the TP graveyard, let alone the creepy as hell ghosts hanging out there. Good video!
On the dragon bones- there’s a prescience for dragons set in the original LoZ. There are quite a few (3, I think?) that act as mid-bosses.
oh yeah, gleeok with his 3 fights and aquamentus with his 2
I love these unexplained mysteries series, please keep it up with a part 4!
That corner is just where Link hides his weed
Why are the spirits in the graveyard missing their two front teeth? (Cries)
All I can say is I guess we know what all they want for Christmas is
But have they been good spirits or are they on the naughty list?
wow I hadn't realised they were missing their teeth, that makes it even more unsettling...
Ganondorf punched every single one of them in the face, that's how they all died.
Here is a CRAZY theory, what if all of the races in botw are some sort of minish and all the giant skeletons are the regular races from before botw and other games
Jabu Jabu is seen again in two different timelines, meaning he's alive and well.
Only in Oracle of Ages.
We don't see him in TWW, only his successor Jabun of a different species.
Good. But what happened to him in Ocarina?
@@stoodmuffinpersonal3144 ☠
@@nonoctoro4933 Noooooo
@@nonoctoro4933 Jabun could STILL be his descendant regardless of having a different dessign given that Valoo was said to be Volvagia's/Vara's descendant from Ocarina of Time yet looks nothing like him. In the end you can always explain the different appereance as either "evolution" like the Zora and Rito in TWW or just "because magic".
I actually think I heard or read somewhere that that "secret" spot in Link's room in Minish Cap was to have something to do with the E-Card Reader, or whatever it was called, that launched late in the GBA's lifespan, iirc. No idea how well it did in Japan, but here in the US, it didn't really take off as well as they had hoped. Idk if it still has functionality in the Japanese version or not, or if this was even the case; that's the theory, however. Like you said, it may just be leftover data... or it could be another case like the Ice Key in Banjo-Kazooie, where a planned feature doesn't pan out the way they would have liked, and thus we get a piece of dead-end content like this one.
I do wonder if someone could datamine the game and find out someday, tho. I'm immensely curious, and have been since I was young and first discovered that most annoying of secrets... A more thorough look can provide a lot of interesting details.
No, it’s a dirty joke. It’s a common gag in japanese entertainment media for teens to hide dirty mags in their room, and usually there’ll be a pushy, funny character trying to call the main character out. ’I won’t tell anyone so show me’ Haha
@@scrung I don't think that that's what it was supposed to be, given that Link in this game isn't a teenager, and that iirc, there reportedly WAS supposed to be Ereader functionality for this game. Tho that could be apocryphal information.

Hey Zeltik, I recently replayed Twilight Princess and while doing the Twilight Realm dungeon I noticed a lot of similarities between the Twili “technology” and Sheika tech in BoTW. Think there are any connections there?
The Twili "technology" draws its power from the Sols' green light.
The only blue energy found here is at the Throne room.
The fused shadow form looks like a guardian. Midna has red eyes like a sheikah and the helmet she wears - a piece of the fused shadow - has an eye, technically giving her a "third eye". Her magic is potent yet zant' s death is almost...barbaric. I don't blame her for fearing it; and ganondorf calls the fused shadows old magic. The people of the wind are the oldest group in the zelda lore; they are the group that were sent skyward during hylia's reign and the floating rock became Skyloft. As most should understand, history will inevitably be lost, locations will be renamed if an official one cannot be found, reasons for leaving will be forgotten or not told to a young boy because such things are not important to his current mission
Oooo!
I think I finally have a theory for what Ezlo was talking about in Minish Cap. The way he says, "Show me!" I think implies... Link himself hid something there. Perhaps in a corner or under the table... what I think is supposed to be implied is that Ezlo is asking Link where he hides his "literature." Unless it was literal cut content, it's the only thing I can think of that would make sense for that line without something literally being there.
Ezlo saying "I sense something unusual here" while there is nothing unusual anywhere is indeed an unusual thing to say. So I guess he's not lying
I always thought the table one might have been an obscure reference to Zelda II and how you find a mirror under a table.
Nice catch !
12:21
*Biggoron glares past smokey tears*
Awesome video and love your content. The ghosts at 6:30 are definitely Hyrule soldiers. They look strikingly similar to the ghost of hero of time in the same game- deformed and demonic looking skeletons
There are plenty of large skulls to go with the ribcages, but they strangely are not often found together.
They are not real skulls tho ...
@@nonoctoro4933 There are some around the minecart tracks in Death Mountain that don't seem like they are purposefully placed there. Also on the island with the decayed forest full of Wizzrobes near the castle, and other places... I would say that the skulls are real (and came from the same creatures as the ribs), and could be moved/rolled with some teamwork. If I were to wager what kind of creatures these were I would say they are probably unlike anything we've seen in Zelda, perhaps like the Giant Warrior from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind."
I finally got a Switch and BotW, and aside from just being able to play the game and explore it for myself, I'm so excited to actually be able to watch your BotW content! I've avoided most of it in an attempt to not be spoiled, but I LOVE your videos and I'm so excited for so many more of them to be opened up to me.
Okay so two suggestions here:
How do fish survive winter!? Jabu Jabu is still a fish, you know?
So these dragon bones are all that remains of the dragon species? What about the three specimen still roaming Hyrule?
Those dragons are just deities of the three springs I think.
They're also not the same species as whatever the remains are.
I think they are reincarnations of Din, Nayru, and Farore.
Technically, Jabu-Jabu is whale, which is a type of aquatic mammal - more akin to dolphin than to fish. Because of this, they are warm-blooded, meaning that they are reasonably unaffected by changing seasons. It's likely either he died from injuries sustained from Barinade or was killed by Ganondorf directly to attempt to bully the Zora into submission although it could just be a lack of space that so he left to larger waters.
"I sense something unusual here" "I won't tell anyone, so come on! Show me!" Hmm. I think the best explanation is that Link is keeping a diary and Ezlo wants to take a look
If we don’t get a BotW 2 trailer at the Game Awards I’m going to riot

Here’s my theory on the haunting ghosts in the graveyard: Remember the failed link who looks like a zombie who teaches link sword skills and stuff? Him and the ghosts look similar. Maybe they could be failed ghosts of knights who are still alive. Hope you look into this.
Or maybe the knights of the heros shade the golden ghost. Link from Ocarina of Time was the heroes shade
The indentation of the trident is kinda shaped like the swords that Ganon used in OoT
I never realized until now just how close that resting Goron was to being obliterated by the Dodongo Entrance explosion. 😂
Oh my GOD i DIED when Hyrule Gamer started talking. I was NOT expecting such a strong Northern accent.

The minish cap mystery might be a reference to the mirror side quest in zelda 2. The mirror is under a table, and link actually has dialogue in the game. Just a thought to throw out there. Love the video
10:43 i think its a crack at some secret items that link has in his room, merely a joke
In the adult timeline, there's a heart ❤️ piece container under the frozen lake where Jabu Jabu was...
Ezlo's comment might be referring to the red rupee buried outside, near the lower left corner of Link's house, which respawns endlessly, making it easy to farm a lot of rupees.
Maybe the implied canonical explanation is that this is Link's secret rupee stash.
Bro, you gotta catch all 151 triforces in the green house and the secret door in links room opens up and you catch mew
Lord jabu jabu was one of my favorite characters😂
I always thought Lord jabu jabu got frozen and he's one of the big long ice things you walk across.
10:40 my guess is that, that's supposed to be a joke about young guys hiding their dirty magazines under things. Alot of anime does that joke so that's why that's my guess
5:48 the soldiers “red hair” might be plumes that most soldiers had around there helmets
Jabu Jabu is actually still there, kinda. He's just invisible ;P You can get into Jabu Jabu's belly as adult Link if you know where his loading zone is.
Isn’t Jabu jabu incased in ice underwater somewhere I have this memory of finding him, maybe I’m wrong or it might’ve been a dream but I feel like I found him somewhere.
The minish cap one is a hint of the red rupee buried outside of link’s house.
Yes a collab with hyrule gamer I love it! I liked seeing both of your channel's rise to fame!
I would love for a few of these “dragons” to be mini bosses like the Hinox and Linel in BotW2
Especially if the plot involves going back into the distant past.
Man. Your creative writing is a thing of beauty
Jabu Jabu died, it's all but directly stated. Ruto says he's been looking "green around the gills" and when you enter his body you kill multiple parasites that had taken root in his body. The implication is that Ganondorf cursed Jabu Jabu like he cursed the Great Deku Tree. Conveniently also with a parasite, Gohma. He survives and later passes. The Wind Waker shows that Jabu Jabu either had offspring or reincarnated as you see another giant fish named Jabun that speaks the hylian tongue, a remnant of OoT Hyrule.
I just stumbled across Hyrule gamer the other day. He’s great. In my opinion a lot of the good Zelda you tubers are derivative of Zeltik. They try to copy his style down to the thumbnails. But that’s not a bad thing. I would too. And ya gotta love Zeltik for always shouting out other Zelda TH-camrs. Retweeting them. He obviously doesn’t have to. Hell of a guy.

To the final mystery about the gigantic bones littered throughout Hyrule, There are some other bones that are proportionately the same size as the gigantic rib cages/spines. The giant skulls that Moblins like to use as their homes. There's hundreds of them all over Hyrule but they never seem to be in the same place as the rib cages. Some are even piled up together. It's almost like whatever killed these giants decapitated them and moved the heads far away from the bodies for some reason, even collecting them sometimes.

Thoughts on Jabu Jabu. In the downfall timeline we know some of the Zora took Jabu Jabu and moved out to sea, where they remained the friendly fish like Zora we see in OoT, and can be met in the Oracle games. Meanwhile the remaining Zora became the more frog like river Zora who'm also seemed to have had a major falling out with the Hylians, and spit at any passer's by. Now considering this is the route things were probably on their way to before adult Link arrived and put things right creating the adult timeline, we can probably assume the Zora who escaped freezing also took Jabu Jabu and fled. Those who remained would of course be thawed out, but likely switched deities to Valoo, and eventually became the Rito under his influence over the next thousand years or so.
Ezlo states that there's something unusual in Link's room, I think there's something or someone hiding either under the table or in the walls. Rupees? Blacksmithing tools? Weapons? _Link's grandma's bones?_ Maybe something haunts the house.
