I love how zeltik takes into account the original japanese text and dialog in his theories. A lot of theories are based on the minutia of the exact wording and connotation of the english translation, but zeltik makes sure to double check that the meaning is still there in both versions before publicizing a theory.
Hi
"So, obviously, we're gonna overthink this"
You just summed up all theories in one sentence
Fr
Pro trick : watch series on flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.
"everything but the kitchen's sink" i laughed so hard i broke a pot
Screams in broken plates
Everything but the kitchen... Link? :D
It's a pretty standard expression
@@RhythmGrizz The normal phrase is "Everything UNDER the Kitchen Sink"
Basically what I have in my bag. Be it when I was in school, or going to a convention. Always have everything but the kitchen sink
Ganondorf: "All right, so-called Guardian Deity. I'm here for the Kokiri's Emerald, say goodbye to y--"
Deku Tree: "Yeah, yeah yeah, go on and curse me already ya big ham."
Ganondorf: "I hate everyone in these stories being a freakin' prophet...."
Underrated comment.
*Ganondorf stomps out of the forest throwing a temper tantrum* “It takes all the fun out of it if they know exactly what I’m going to do! Even worse when they don’t CARE!!!”
So that's why he killed Astor...
"Oh yeah, how dare I take the wind of your sales for murdering me."
Thanks Theo, very cool
I always assumed the partner character in each game helped Link carry many items using magic.
They must be stored in some kind of magic realm because items like Iron Boots or Ball and Chain only weigh you down when equipped.
What I don't have a theory for is why Link can change clothes in mid air.
In the 80’s Zelda cartoon Link had a magical pouch that would shrink items down to a fraction of their size, meaning he could fit dozens of items in the pouch. My headcanon has always been that lol
Don‘t we actually see midna do this in twilight princess when link is in wolf form?
@@ethanrohde2556 Midna, carries the fused shadows and the twilight mirror pieces, so I would assume she carries everything else
@@ethanrohde2556 she only does it with the Fused Shadow. I’d think she could do the same thing with other items but when you get the Ordon Sword and Shield, she carries them manually. Makes me wonder exactly where she keeps the Fused Shadow.
When you’re in wolf form at the very beginning Midna also stores the ordon sword and shield for you.
0:15 he’s too powerful to be left alive.
UNLIMITED POWER!!!
We must find him and confiscate this item before the universe itself implodes from the power
@@CloaxHere it’s not the Jedi way
The actual line is “He’s too dangerous to be left alive”.
@@ginger2906 He must live!
In Twilight Princess, I always believed that Link was able to carry all his equipment in his tiny item pouch because Midna transformed into shards of twilight like she does the Ordon Sword and Shield in that one cutscene.
You could extend that to say that Wild Link is able to turn all of his gear into blue liquid energy, like that which he turns into when teleporting, by using the Sheikah Slate. Hestu's dances could be infused with magic that just enhances the Slate's capabilities. Hell, maybe the reason he needs Korok Seeds to do them is because the Sheikah only wanted Link to upgrade his inventory if his training as a hero required it, and he'd explored the land adequately enough to justify it.
I think the “seeds” being literal turds is also an extremely obscure reference to the Pictograph Models guy not wanting anyone to witness the process “because he makes them *in his underwear* “ ...which....UM. Kid me always assumed those are made of Poo.
"I want to pass my adventurous genes down to your grandsons" sounds like a really good pickup line. At least in the Zelda Universe.
In all honesty Wind Waker Link doesn't really have that gene (none of them do really... Maybe except for the Link to the Past Link because he goes everywhere)... He likes relaxing and sleeping and wouldn't have had desire to travel if destiny didn't force him to engage, upon finding a new continent leading to Spirit tracks it could be assumed that he just led a quiet life in the village that version of Link started the game in because even that Link seems uninterested in adventure himself only getting excited because of Train.
@@GameparkGames well, we all need a driving force to make things in real life too. He also looks like the least mature of all Links, so that's another point for him
@@GameparkGames the reason why all the Links are sleeping at the beginning of adventures is that they never get any sleep during adventures, so in between adventures they hibernate like bears.
The Zelda cartoon actually explains how Link can carry so many items. They shrink in size.
I'm chalking it up to the power of the triforce of courage and leaving it at that. No further thought necessary.
Of course. They're refered to as magical items after all
@@TimeofRagnarok the saying was "I'm chalking it up to", as in, I'm attributing it to, marking it down as. Origin being from using chalk on slate scoreboards.
@@FFKonoko I had my keyboard fully gassed up before I even read yer comment mate.
That is what I go with. Except the pouch is magical. Or the Classic "Nintendo logic." Think of it how can Mario or Luigi throw fireballs underwater, or how can Mario and Co breathe on the moon in Paper Mario The Thousand-year door but not in Outer Space in Super Paper Mario? I can make a theory on that, but that would be easier to explain in a video, so to save you a long lecture, we'll just say "Nintendo Logic."
"Somehow never enough flint" this has gotta be the most relatable thing I've ever heard you say
Lol I always have too much flint and end up selling it
@@Melont06 I always have loads of it until I need it
I always use chu-chu jelly.
Flint coal?
@@GabePuratekuta don't! Gavin will hear! ...if that's what you're going with at least.
Skyward Sword also addresses the inventory capacity with Link’s adventure pouches which you can also upgrade with optional side quests.
So magic pouches was always my train of thought. Similar pouches are visible on Link’s model in BOTW and TP as well, attached to his belt.
Man I love it when a Zeltik video pops up.
Damn me too.
I just can't get over how soothing his voice is
@@kashinovirus7278 yeah.
@@riversimms8652 I'm begging for a asmr vid
Me too
01:14 that transition though!
Beat me to it ☺️
I was in awe!
“So obviously we’re going to overthink it” Zeltik, 2021
I'd like to expand on the theory about Link's inventory. At least for the older games, many of his items could have been on his person, just like the old art pieces of him suggest. But for, as far as I can see in Twilight Princess, it is magic that allows him to store all his items. At the start of the game, Midna wears the Ordon Sword and Shield, but then when she snaps her fingers, they dematerialize and warp inside of Link. It's my little theory that Midna uses some of her magic to store some of Link's more important items, so that way he doesn't have to look through his pockets and pouches.
Personally I dont wanna know :/
Let’s go always need some more Zelda theories!
We need more Zelda stuff in general
Here’s one my friend and I checked the art of loz tp and loz ss the theory is botw 2 is going to time travel to ara of Twilight and ara of the sky
I can see it. Grandma offers him some soup. He offers to take her picture, ...then a Titanic-esque scenario ensues. 😄
All the women lusting after him are all Rose’s Age...so it’s probably Rose before she settled with Abe and had her two sons. But, I’ve always liked the idea that he’s Link’s Grampa.
OR...instead of Seriously Unfair Aging Advantages? He could be into Milfs and Cougars
Totally separate note: anyone else noticed that the hollow trees the Kokiri live in are comparable in size to the Great Deku Tree, and that none of the other trees in the lost woods are nearly as big? What if those houses are previous incarnations of the Great Deku Tree?
Ganondorf: the Kokiri are mere children, nothing to worry about!
Kokiri: we occupy the corpses of our dead gods
Ganondorf: okay yeah no, burn that shit to the grou d
“But somehow never enough flint” you don’t know how much I relate to this
Aw. I like the idea that Lenzo is Link's granddad. That's kinda adorable.
My sister and I always used to joke that Link was never allowed to have parents. So in the case of Wind Waker, Aryll had parents, but Link did not, even though they were siblings.
That Hylian Sheild looks amazing I would love to hang that over my bed and pray to the goddess that it doesn’t fall on my head well I sleep.
It would be $1250 well spent.
@Zachary Erickson if I can roll on it like Link does in the game it's worth it.
@Zachary Erickson that's different from a game replica. More often than not it's more work to make a fictional sword real, than it is to just make a real sword copy
With so long between main series games, the theories keep me going
I actually have a theory on how he can carry items. So do you all remember how in twilight princess, midna had an inventory. It was infinite, and i think link carries everything in his sheikah slate. It might sound weird and I dont have much evedence to confirm it, but it sounds good.
He *does* have to consult the slate whenever he wants to change his equipment or use items.
Ey Zeltik, show us a video of yourself wielding your hylian shield and master sword
YES YES YES!!!
Pleaaase
Love the Lenzo theory! Do you think he could be Link’s father though? He seems middle-aged to me and the only other woman who is supposed to be on the island but isn’t is Link and Aryll’s mother. Just a thought-never noticed his picture of Hyrule castle before!! Just incredible how you never cease to amaze me with what details and connections you find in the games. Thanks for sharing your insights!
“Kokiri forest, a haven, a strange, magical place watched over by the gaurdian of the forest- the great Deku tree”
Um **** THE GREAT MIDO THANK YOU
I like to think that since we see Kokiri outside the woods in the ending that post-OoT Mido finds out most towns have names and insists theirs is named after him, completing the reference to the Town of Mido in Adventure of Link
Enchanted pouch. Link probably has a special one, given to him by the koroks when he collected the master sword maybe, which acts like a bottomless bag of sorts. You can actually see the pouch on his model, attached to his belt. Most travellers probably don’t have them, being unable to enchant their pouches, which would be why pack animals and bags are needed still. Beadle also references the pouch, kinda confirming that it’s a fairly common accessory for travellers, maybe acting as a space to keep a few important supplies on hand without having to go into your backpack. Only definitely applies to BoTW, not sure about the other games
For breath of the wild, I was thinking that it could be because of the sheikah slate, and that every time you obtain and store an item, it's "downloaded" into it. The Master Cycle Zero works this way, where when you put the sheikah slate on the pedestal, the master cycle dematerializes and is "downloaded" into the sheikah slate in the exact same way that the maps and runes are. If it's able to download an entire motorcycle, it can probably do the same for other items too.
It could be an add-on feature to whatever app on the tablet allows Link to teleport.
Nice theory, but if you pay attention to the animation for him putting stuff away or getting it out, you can see him reaching down to the right and looking down in that direction. This is on the opposite side to the sheikha slate. Along with this, again in BoTW you can see the pouch sitting on his belt on the right side, which is what he reaches to.
The motorbike is a special case of sorts, being specially made shieka tech. The bike is turned into blue energy and stored in the slate, then is rematieralised apon summoning. Link also gets his slate out when using any of the runes, and he dosnt touch it when putting items away, or getting them out.
That sword and shield look soo epic, too bad my mom won't buy me a weapon
I can relate.
mood
Its not a weapon, its a... "Negotiation enhancer"
Ask your mom if she wants the downfall timeline, because this is how you get the downfall timeline.
Bud it's 2,000 dollars just for one
I love the idea of Link alone having an ability to carry an absurd amount of stuff in his pockets (even while wearing nothing but his underwear lol) but what's even funnier is if he's so used to it that he assumes everyone is the same and being really confused by people needing whole animals to carry a couple of supplies. I kind of want to read a story about that, the concept is hilarious to me haha
I have a theory about the Kokiri Forest.
So, in the middle of the forest is a tower. During gameplay, one of the Unique kokiri (I think her name is Fado?) hangs out up there alongside a blue rupee. It's the highest manufactured point in the town (at least that can be reasonably reached), and from it you can easily see both entrances to Kokiri forest; both out into the Lost Woods and Hyrule Field. This implies that this structure is a watch tower. The way to reach this tower normally is to walk on the scaffolding to another, slightly shorter tower, and then over to Saria's house.
Along with this fact, in the beginning of the game, Saria is aware that the woods are becoming more dangerous, and knows that the Kokiri sword exists somewhere in the woods (You can get this dialogue by going to talk to mido without any equipment, and then back to talk to Saria). All of this implies that Saria's function in Kokiri society is as some kind of Town Guard.
I always thought that Link had some sort of Bag of Holding item that was just never mentioned or in BotW's case that all of his equipment was stored in the Sheikah Slate.
I always thought that Lenzo was speaking about Rose, but now it does sound like he was speaking about Link's grandmother
A Turtle approves of these mini theories
Cool
Awesome!
Ayo take me to Great bay temple.
Don't forget that Midna stores his gear when they aren't in use in Twilight Princess.
Now that you have the Hylian Shield and Master Sword, we gotta see a full replica of Link's garbs to finish up the set
I want to see heroic replicas make the one hit obliterator. Like to sign the petition.
"Everything but the kitchen sink"
I think I heard you'd be able to do that in BOTW 2. I think you need it to flood Hyrule Castle to make it into a water temple, then suffer for eternity running circles trying to figure it out.
I've always thought Link had a bag like Mary Poppins.
Same 😂
@@Melont06 😊
I really enjoy theory compilations like this. There's plenty of ideas that merit investigation and deserve to be talked about, but don't necessarily rise to having the depth to warrant a full length video on their own.
Exactly! I've got loads of ideas that I shelved because they wouldn't make a full video, so I'm enjoying doing these collections of mini theories!
i wanted to listen to a zeltik video for background noise but i ended up being more invested in the theories than i expected and ended up watching the entirety of it without even touching a part of work.
Actually, the name of the track for Orca's house is officially "Grandpa's House." Now, I know that this may be a mistranslation of the original Japanese since ji-san can mean either "old man" or a formal way to say "grandpa"...
But it is an interesting thought, yeah?
So my childhood theory might be canon
I always figured that, at least in BotW, Link's items are stored in the Sheikah Slate - since that's where the item menus seem to be located.
Me when Zeltik uploads: Oh my God guys it's finally happening. Everyone stay calm!
Why does no one talk about how the Barbarian set’s helmet shares the same hair with the Blight and Calamity Ganon?
The ability to carry infinite things must be what is granted by the Triforce of Courage.
That becomes a problem in games where Link doesn't have it. Especially Breath of the Wild. Even in the Wind Waker...Link's capacity is unchanged from beginning to end, but he only gets the triforce piece in the latter half.
True. The games where Link doesn’t have a triforce piece (or the full thing) far outnumber the ones where he does. And he’s assembling the triforce of wisdom in the OG, then later gets the courage piece at the very, very end of Adventures of Link
Ya know, I never thought much about how the Great Deku Tree had... gates and torches inside of him. It just never occured to me that that was out of place in a friggin' TREE. The stuff you realize years later...
0:32 damn i want that sword rn
The Deku Tree theory there's another possibility: the trial was intended to happen later. The parasite forced up the timetable, leading to OoT as we know it.
Always excited seeing a zeltik vid and love the heroic replica wish I could afford those items have a good day zeltik!
What about Lenso’s ears? Even Link’s grandmothers’ ears aren’t as pointy as his and his sisters. I feel like they were adopted by that grandmother and quite honesty Lenso might have been with her at one point or another.
I always figured the inventory was stashed in the sheikah slate. It *looks* like app widgets on a phone. So why not. It just teleports the stuff somewhere, some warehouse of kinds. I think the sheikah slate pulls the bombs from somewhere (the particle effect of creating one looks like the teleportation one.) Rather then creating them from thin air.
"-but somehow never enough flint."
*i felt that*
6:04 In the cartoon Link explicably has a bag of holding where his items like his bow and bombs are stored in tiny size until he needs them.
I don’t normally pay attention to video sponsors but that Hylian shield is beautiful
I think the Deku tree had Link kill the gomha so she and her children won’t escape and slaughter all the Kokiri.
maybe, but I personally still think it was Ganondorf’s failed attempt to help-Tree has rot? Tree has grubs. Use spiders to eat grubs. Save Tree’s life. -so adding on: what happens after the grubs, Ganondorf? They don’t always cannibalize eachother. Some will. But some will escape-and THEN what?!-
08:38 Maybe before the great flood, cameras were invented already and one of his ancestors took this picture
@Zachary Erickson maybe link brought the camera back with him to hyrule, took that picture of the castle, and it made its way to the place in windwaker?
i always thought that the storage system was the Sheika Slate storing things away inside itself, but no, it's super magic god pocket
It just uses an API or something to show the items
I think the sheikah slate thing makes sense. Shrines are also bigger on the inside and have infinite voids in them, so maybe the ancient sheikah canonically figured out hammerspace.
The rupee fairy in aLttP also allowed you to hold more bombs/arrows, not just Hestu!
there have been several Bag Upgrades throughout the series...but Hestu upgrading how many weapons Link can hold just feels a bit different-it’s not a bigger wallet or bomb bag or quiver, it’s a bigger Inventory entirely (which the Bag Upgrades are a bit closer to...idk, substorage? They’re like pouches you stick in a backpack or purse vs a bigger General Bag)
Just because we haven't seen them carrying around the kitchen sink, doesn't mean it isn't there.
My guess is, they are hiding it underneath that silly cap of theirs.
Magical "Hammer Space". Makes sense to me! But...wait. If "Hammer Space" is something that's passed-on as a special trait of/to the true hero...and Link in Wind Waker wasn't (yet) the true hero but had the ability...hmm...this opens up a lot of kettles of fishies...!
0:39, oh I need that, I love the gilded sword’s design.
Zelda: How do we carry all this stuff, anyway?
Skyrim: Hold my Juniper Mead.
I have my own head canon for for Link can store all his items, at least in Breath of the Wild and Twilight Princess.
For Breath of the Wild, I feel like the same technology deconstructing Link when he fast travels is also used when storing items. We see when Link obtains the Master Cycle Zero from monk Maz Koshia, that the technology is able to deconstruct physical objects and store them in the sheikah slate. Even if the cycle itself is just deconstructed and stored somewhere else, and the sheikah slate only gains the ability to summon it from it's storage, that still means that Link has a way of storing his items somewhere otger than his pockets.
This would also explain why normal Hylians don't posses this ability. Not because it's related to the goddesses or Koroks, but because Link is the only Hylian in possession of such technology in the sheikah slate. As for Hestu, he would probably increase the amount of storage or memory of the slate, though how a magical forrest child could enhance ancient technology by doing the sacred hokey pokey is beyond me.
As for Twilight Princess, I think this one is more likely than my Breath of the Wild head canon. We see Midna dematerialising the Ordon sword and shield Link obtains when he return to Ordon as a wolf. Midna probably does the same for the rest of Link's items as well. This might just be common knowledge though, as it also feels like the interaction with the Ordon sword and shield might have just been the game telling you where Link keeps all these items.
Fun theories! Some extra thoughts:
1) Maybe the Great Deku Tree wanted Link to kill Gohma to prevent the curse from spreading to the rest of Kokiri Forrest? Wouldn't surprise me if Ganondorf wanted to ruin the entire ecosystem.
2) In BOTW, maybe the Sheikah slate is the thing summoning Link's countless amount of items? I assumed that's how it worked for the bombs and the Master Cycle.
3) Funny, but I'm not sure if I'd ship it...
Love your videos Zeltik!
“For the first time in the series, how much Link can carry is actually referenced.”
Skyward sword’s adventure pouch: “Am I a joke to you?”
Gotta say that I love your videos. They always give me a reason to revisit these games even after enjoying them so many years ago.
I also wanted to tell you that your intro always gives me chills, haha. I loved these theories. Keep up the great work!
ahh, yes. Links most powerful abilitie ins't din's fire or bard-level music skills, its...
The INFINITY POCKET
"And then the Dragonborn stopped time, and ate seventeen wheels of cheese, right in the middle of combat! Their strength returned, and the Dragonborn won the day."
Hestu sings the jingle after expanding your stash, too. That means that the jingles also exist in the world.
I’m always amazed by how you surprise me everytime. It’s great learning new things about a series I’ve been a huge fan since I can remember. Thanks!
That Lenzo theory is cracking me up and blew my mind, could actually be true 😆
I always assumed that Link was using the equivalent to bags of holding. Though in Breath of the Wild I think his inventory is being stored inside the Sheikah Slate.
I'm pretty sure the koroks aren't literally increasing link's pocket size so he must have the ability to summon weapons although nobody ever mentions it so its pretty headcanon
I’ve asked already, but will there ever be more Links to the Past? I LOVED that series!
I love your videos you’re the reason I really started enjoying these games
" .. so of course we're going to over think this." LOL. Loved that line.
Hey, this is irrelevant to the video but I just thought about it and wanted to share. Remember the video looking into sheika combat? Now Age of Calamity is out and Impa is a playable character, maybe we could look even deeper into the sheika's combat. It would be wonderful if you did!
Earlier games also give us the Mad Batter and such that expand Link's inventory (adjusting things like carrying capacity for his bombs and arrows, but that's still his pockets). Also in regards to the Iron Boots specifically, it's entirely possible they're just as magical as the Hover Boots in that they aren't just heavy, but they pull Link down when he's wearing them in a way that isn't just gravity working as normal. Everything else is magic, so it makes sense that a pair of magic boots would also be magic.
For the seemingly infinite inventory space in Zelda games. It's actually the cartoon that provides the most solid answer in the franchise. Link carries a magic pouch, think of it like Jimmy Neutron's storage cube or Kirby's 'stomach'.
1:15 That was a beautiful match cut!
Wow I just rewatched it.
YASSSSSSSSSSSS. You finally addressed my Hestu theory I sent you months ago.
On tumblr I have seen a fan comic made about Wind Waker. In it, Link is kidnapped along with Aryl when the giant bird grabs her and their grandma, having not having the chance to give him his tunic or the shield, decides to take these things and venture out to save them herself, much to Tetra's dismay. It was only a short little comic which just showed little snippets of Grandmas journey, my favorite being her meeting the King and finding him hot, but with the theory about Lenzo, I really want to see Hero Grandma meet him and see what he thinks of her, especially in this alternate universe where she's an adventurer.
You’re the first person I’ve ever heard pronounce it “in-VEN-chury” lol
I swear all your videos are so well put together, and this one is no exception. Great work!
Links father one is my favorite. The more adult jokes in these games make me laugh.
Best isn’t actually the only person that acknowledges Link’s inventory existing. Aside from the obvious notes like all the various bomb bag and quiver upgrades in a whole lot of games that let you carry an even more absurd amount of select items, there’s the devil in Link’s Awakening that upgrades your magic powder, bombs, and arrows. You light a torch to wake him up from a nap and he, “curses” you with the ability to carry more junk.
I love these bite sized theory videos. I have always wanted an explanation on links bottomless pocket, so I especially love that theory.
5:15, in the series, items were small and became regular size. It is in the series referenced at 0:31.
The Legend of Zelda TV show displays the way in which Link carries multiple weapons at once, and in many of the games there are carrying capacity upgrades available.
One of my favorite canon explanations for a giant inventory is in Phantasy Star. The characters have access to a pocket dimension to store items. Like a scientific version of a Bag of Holding.
I always had the theory that at the end of Ocarina of time when Zelda returns link to the past (no pun intended) creating the split timeline, she put two links on the same timeline. What I mean is that when link returned home from the temple of time he found his past self in his own house, and that link was fairyless and without having done any adventuring.
Is my theory that this non-hero link grew up, abandoned the forest, became a rancher, and he eventually got married and had kids on his own. All while Hero-link went on more adventures, such as the events in Majora's Mask.
I think this because of two reasons: Malon the girl from the ranch knows Epona's song that her mother composed and she was going to teach it to his kids later on and Link from Twilight princess knows this song from the very start of the game, so we know that Malon got together with someone very similar with to link in appearances. And also TP link has a dialogue with the Hero's shade who is canonically Link from OoT and he is called "son". It would made some sense to call him son because even if the Hero didn't had any descendants his non-hero counterpart did.
I mean, in the split there were two different zeldas, one that grew and fought Ganon and one that was a child and gifted the ocarina of time. There were two different Ganondorfs, one that got the triforce and one that got imprisoned before that. Shouldn't there be two links? One became a hero and one who didn't.
The Deku Tree and Lenzo theories make A LOT of sense and now I’m a believer
I can confirm that link doesn’t have the sink. It’s in my garage
i thought link's grandpa was the sword tutorial guy who punches sharks
An idea that might be fun for a future mini theories video is the similarity of Akkala to the Greater Hyrule of Zelda 2, with the sea areas of Greater Hyrule corresponding the the lower areas of Akkala. Maze Island corresponding to the Akkala Labyrinth is the clearest parallel, and Eldin with the mountains marking the border of Zelda 2's map. Flood the valley running through the middle of Akkala, and you get something pretty close to the NES Greater Hyrule map.
Deku Tree: You did your best but I was dead before you got here.
Link: But we've had several conversations...
Deku Tree: *fading* Brooooooooooo....
Props to the stuff Heroric Replicas sent you dude!! I'm so envious of that Master Sword and Hylian Shield!!! They look gorgeous!
I think the best detail about Wind Waker Link, is the fact that He isn't a Link at all, beyond name.
Gannondorf and Tetra are Carriers of the Triforce, but Link himself is just a random child who earned his power from scratch.
It's stupid if we overthink it. So obviously we're going to overthink it. Love that line. And obviously he has extradimensional pockets.
6:53, I like this theory.
