I noticed that Links hair was down for most of the trailer and his Buddha monk looking outfit, honestly love both they look so good and ever since I first put on the ancient armor in breath of the wild I’ve really wanted to see link with just his hair down so that made me happy
Yes! I really hope they dive into Zonai technology. They didn’t give us much about them last game, but enough details to make them interesting and intriguing. Let’s hope it doesn’t air in December 2022 or gets delayed to 2023...
no one is talking about the time reversal stasis effect. Link stops that spiked metal ball and moves it backwards in time. that is gonna be a huge part of this game.
and when you see it done like this, it's like "that's kind of cool" but when you think about where they could go with this kind of power, and that this is likely only ONE of a few new powers... I'm pumped lol
I saw that too, but no more than I saw, I thought that he stopped it with Stasis, hit it to reverse the momentum, and then we got to see it come out of stasis.
I kind of think that story may have passed. Instead, it may be like the theory I've seen a few times, where we go through an introductory level on our way to find Ganondorf, then we have both Skyloft and an underground (Metroid-style?) labyrinth as we climb our way to the castle proper.
I’m really holding onto the theory that the hand is heavily related to the hero of 10,000 years ago. I have no idea how, but this game, with the trailer music being the first botw’s trailer music in reverse, the huge skyward sword vibes, it all feels very lore heavy and I’m hype as hell
Straight up, I think we ARE the hero from 10,000 years ago. In this trailer, Link looks effectively IDENTICAL to the link portrayed in the mural of the battle 10,000 years ago. On top of that, the trailer includes a lot of reversed sound clips, and a reversed shot of a water droplet falling on the ground. It's clear that the 'reversal of time' will be a key theme in this game in some form or another. The Zelda series is also not shy about the concept of time travel. Hell, the series is in no small part BUILT on the idea of timey-wimey shenanighans. How does one add depth to a game world we've already thoroughly explored? Well, you could add underground areas (like we've seen), areas floating in the sky (awesome), and... perhaps a some point in the game.... we might see what Hyrule looked like 10,000 years ago. Think about it. It'd be a great way to re-use land assets, but still have a whole new unique look on the lands. I've floated this idea a bit before, but now I'm much more confident it's not just a baseless idea. Hylia is, after all, a goddess of Time. I've always felt the battle from 10,000 years ago was too fleshed out for it not to be an event that would become more relevant at some point.
Theory: The Link in the sky/floating island section is actually the hero from 10,000 years ago, possibly older(pre or post Skyward sword) and the owner of the green glowing hand. Note the way he is dressed, it's almost ancient(similar to ancient Greek/Roman dress) the hair is different as well. I think that after Link loses his hand(first few seconds of the new trailer) he gets the green glowing one(somehow) and the sky sections are flashbacks that give us the story on how things went down/ how that hand and Ganondorf ended up down there. And maybe a playable way for Link to upgrade his arm(new Sheikah slate)
@@crossman1611 I assumed so too. But it is interesting that we see links face in the clips where he has his breath of the wild look going on, but in the other shots with this new look/outfit we never see his face...
There's a really good theory video about the shrine of resurrection being a stasis chamber to keep someone alive and not as a healing room (i don't remember who made it) after seeing this trailer I'm starting to believe that the malice ripped link's hand off and the green hand fused with link to save him. Now back to why I mentioned the shrine of resurrection, maybe the sheikah made that shrine to keep the hero from 10,000 years ago alive so he could defeat the calamity again, but since the shrine is empty when link used it that means something happened to the ancient hero. I believe that the ancient hero sacrificed himself to a seal to keep Ganondorf sealed under Hyrule castle and became the green hand (maybe at one point it was the whole hero but as the seal weakened he started to disappear) Evidence to support this is that in the mural the ancient hero had a greenish yellow hand and is literally depicted to seal Ganondorf. The reason the hand saved link is because the ancient hero recognized that it's his reencarnation and saved link knowing that he'd be able to defeat Ganondorf. Past reencarnations have been seen to coexist with the present hero like what happened with the hero of shade in twilight princess. I believe that the ancient hero is part of the zonai tribe and was a magic user and that's why link has powers now. While looking at the Barbarian set which is believed to be the armor the ancient hero wore has it's right hand completely covered with bone and gloves unlike the left hand that only has a sleeve and no glove.
@@JordenBarry Very true, and the right hand in the barbarian armor is the only part of the armor that doesn't have markings, so there's a connection there too.
All of the Zora's and Kakariko village wake up one morning and see Hyrule Castle floating. Impa watches and sips her morning coffee and says " I sure hope Zelda and Link aren't dead, lol "
@Ian Muirhead Old man Dorf got crucified for being the 10k years ago tapestry Messiah… well, probably not, but the thought of Jesusdorf gave me a good chuckle 😂🤷🏼♂️
@@warlocket5326 perhaps. Would be very cool to see different lengths of horns. Could indicate the age of the boko. Maybe even a boko mini boss with a giant horn
Couple things I noticed that I haven't seen many people mention: 1) New symbol on Link's shield while in the sky is similar to a sheikah eye, however the eye is looking upward. Up to the sky? 2) The Zelda's Lullaby stab at the end uses the same instrumentation as the music for the dragons. 3) When Link is in the sky, we can see one area with those big mushroom-tree things. Can't for the life of me remember what it's called. Anyway, we can see that same exact area later in the final shot of Hyrule Castle, but there are no islands to be seen. This suggests one of two things. One, the islands aren't visible because they're above the cloud barrier. Or, two, the islands literally aren't there, and Link has some kind of new time reversal power that allows him to travel back in time to when the islands existed, as evidenced by the animation of the water drop falling in reverse. 4) Link's clothing while in the sky is quite similar to the outfits of the Skyloftians, as well as Ganondorf's robes. -5) While Link no longer has the Master Sword, I notice that many of the swords he uses have scabbards. If I remember correctly (and I may be wildly incorrect on this point), only the Master Sword had a scabbard in BotW. Is this simply a graphical improvement? Or, does it imply that these weapons are more permanently equipped, and so weapon durability is going away?-
I found the exact place where the mushrooms appears in the trailer. The same plataform, same everything, there was some Zonai pillars or something,but those didn't appear in the trailer.
I believe the reason that you can not see the floating islands is because hyrule castle floating is likely going to be one of the first events in the sequel, and the reason you cannot see the islands is because of the cloud barrier, which was made by Hylia to separate the sky from the ground. The reason that you can only see it later in the game will likely be because Hylia’s power is starting to weaken.
It's weird that they never show long hair "Link's" face so they might be Zelda or even someone new? Also you never see the master sword or any Sheikah tech (there's a spot where the camera pans to the Talus and you can see the Dueling Peaks, but the tower isn't there). And the moblins in the stasis segment are wearing hats which is a cool detail Also some crazy Ghibli vibes -Howl's Moving Bokoblin Camp -Princess Mononoke Arm -Castle In The Sky
You know how link was able to absorb the other champion's powers? What if he's able to absorb the powers of the previous hero which is where the hand comes into play.
I believe that the Wired ancient robot with Sheika symbols on him is not an enemy but actually, a house/hub keeper robot. I believe this because if you look at the stomach there is a circle with a symbol of a broom in the meddle. The symbol is most likely very connected with himself. Usually in video games the broom is usually connected with cleaning or housekeeping, usually someone who you can come to to change things in your home or help equip new gear. along with this he looks a little bit friendly with his big ears. I am guessing one of the islands you can find will be a place where you are able to make abase you can teleport to and from. then this robot once you activate it will help you and serve as an NPC that you can talk to as a way for customizing you bases or storing weapons. along with this we could find more island with different robots with different help full traits. (ex. Blacksmith. Armorer enchanter. extra side quest giver, inn manager ex.) Ether this or you right arm can turn into a broom and that shows that you need to brush dirt at it to defeat it... or it shows you need to fix it for it to start working and they can be used as way points.
Man the personalized base/hub thing sounds so cool. I love the house you can buy in BoTW but was so disappointed there wasn’t more customization options. Barely any. I mean I may be nuts because I have like 4 huge player home mods in Skyrim and decorate them all buuuut come on you could hardly display weapons even.
Also i hear everyone talking about customizable hair because of what we saw in the trailer i would like to point out that in breath of the wild, there was already hair style changes via different clothes and in the trailer the only time we see this hair is in those different clothes. So i think its safe to assume we won't be getting customizable hair in the way people thought, just the same system as botw
Not only 3 high quality videos in 1 day, but also getting to watch my favourite youtuber while getting to know more things about the new trailer, perfection.
Link’s hand that is infected has his nails out as claws. Almost monstrous. He doesn’t have the Master Sword so the Master Sword left him because he isn’t pure enough to wield it. He has to purify himself and take control of the power before he can wield the Master Sword again
@@wilhams3358 That’s true. links right arm got corrupted while it was holding the master sword(you can see him holding it in trailer) so the master sword disappeared. I think the pure arm will replace links corrupted arm and it will fuse into his skin(which is why it is not green when on him) The green arm is probably the source of his powers. They are not upgraded runes, they are a whole new power. There may be a possibility that you can re obtain the sheika slate. That’s my theory
I don’t actually think the character falling through the sky is link. I think he’s the hero from 10,000 years ago, as marked in the tapestry. Note the longer hair and green hand in the tapestry to compare to the person falling through the sky. We also don’t fully see his face yet, and if he looks similar to link I wouldn’t be surprised.
There are also no floating islands at the end screenshot of the floating castle. EDIT: If you look at 0:48, you will notice that the floating islands are above the wierd mushroom tree things in tabantha. If you then look at 1:15 over that area, there aren't any floating islands. This isn't concrete evidence, but if the islands were to rise up you would think we would see malice around the floating islands (at 0:48) or evidence that the areas that become floating islands are rising (like malice or dust similar to around the castle in the first trailer.).
Might just be me but i think sky link's hair looks a brighter shade of blonde compared to current time Link, I'm leaning towards it being a past incarnation too
It could be that link actually loses his arm to the malice at the start of the trailer and this new arm replaces it, could even be gannondorf’s arm with them nails.
The hand before becoming part of link has a striking resemblance to the hand of a dragon; the animal resembling courage in botw. The robot also takes the shape of a dragon, which makes me wonder if it's an enemy or not.
Another thing people have missed or haven't brought up a lot is that Link uses the arm to stop time when the spiked balls were rolling down towards him instead of using the Sheikah Slate
Ahhhh my mind is blowing up, this trailer is waaaaaay more than I was expecting! Also I thought the fingernails on Links possessed hand were very reminiscent of the Sheika monks. & the robot thing looked a bit Zonai, but also a bit like the Skyward Sword robot thingies... Maybe something to do with Hylia?
Here's a little theory that you can pry from my cold dead hands: So, the Sheikah created the ancient tech right? Well how the hell did they power that stuff? Throughout all the games the Sheikah have pretty much been ninjas that have been known to use shadow magic and that would be far too unstable/probably useless when it comes to powering giant robots. So here's my theory: The Sheikah stole the Zonai magic (the green glowy stuff that let Link phase through a wall) to power their technology. Now I know it sounds dull but here's how I think it played out: The Sheikah heard of these (possibly) barbarian people that used glowy green magic and had developed it enough to power machinery (evidence: the funky robot in the trailer). Knowing that they needed a power source for their own technology, the Sheikah decided to steal this glowy magic. This also explains why the Zonai disappeared. They were being hunted down by the Sheikah and decided to (probably) escape to the skies where they wouldn't be followed. The Zonai did this by using their magic to reverse time and phase through the floating islands above or whatever it was Link did. They did manage to save some of their magic but the Sheikah got their hands on enough to power the guardians, divine beasts and their other stuff. However, the green glowy magic was probably far too unstable to be used as a power source for their robots. If they used it to give the guardians the ability to reverse time (or some other weird Zonai ability) it could hugely backfire on them. So, Sheikah scientists found ways to modify the raw Zonai magic and contain it enough that it was the perfect source of power for their robots. This explains why the ancient tech is a different colour to Zonai magic (it's blue when active and orange when inactive rather than being the green of the raw Zonai magic) because it has been modified to suit the needs of the Sheikah. This could also explain a theory that I've seen where Link's new Zonai hand 'absorbed' the Sheikah Slate, hence why it's not with Link or Zelda in either of the trailers. Why would a Zonai hand absorb the power of Sheikah tech? Because it's powered by the same stuff the hand is made from *mic drop*. Anyway I had this idea and ran with it. I doubt it's the case but it's still cool to think that the guardians and divine beasts are powered by the same stuff that allows Link to phase through walls and reverse time like in the trailer. Sorry this came out so long I just needed to get it down before I forgot :D
After two years of analysing one trailer, we now finally know when it's out, and there is most likely more trailers coming out a bit before the release date.
Respects for the in depth 7 detail video ya made in record time. Also love how ya pointed out the mobcoblin horn addition and I didn't see the flame thrower on the shield. I thought he was holding it like a two handed weapon of some kind, thanks for the content Hyrule Gamer.😁👍
The gimmick this time for BotW2 seems to be time manipulation. We see this with Link seeming to freeze the spiked boulders and then send it in reverse as the screen went grey. We've also had the continuous use of backwards music in these trailers which further confirms this as a central feature. This also explains what happened to Ganondorf. The Zonai trapped him in an eternal near death state by accelerating his aging using the vambrace. This means he has the Triforce of Power still as it is known to be how he heals any injury and has near immortality. What you have here is Ganondorf just barely managing to counteract the rapid decay of his body. As is evident in the trailer, this Zonai hero let go of Ganondorf to save Link and Zelda when the floor collapsed. A mistake that gave Ganondorf an opportunity to escape.
I think the dark marks that are crawling up from Links arm to his chest are kind of an infliction/curse the malice left behind after it attacks him. this would have slowly killed Link but the green hand sealed itself on Links Arm to prevent it from spreading any further. big Princess mononoke vibes. can't wait for more theories, keep up the good work.
The holes in his chest are from the hand holding him down. If you look at the first teaser trailer, the close up shot of the hand shows that it has very long nails. The holes are probably from the nails of the green hand digging into Ganondorf's flesh. The markings on his body are probably residual scarring due to the green arm merging with his body, not zonai war paint. They look like they are arranged in a more of a swirl pattern, like the green swirling energy from the first trailer.
On another note, at the beginning Link's arm gets encompassed with Malice, not green magic. I wonder if his arm absorbs malice and is poisoned and that's why it gets replaced with a different arm that also has magic.
The robot also looks like it's made of jade, and if you look at a lot of old Meso-American art, they tend to use a lot of jade. And which race has a very Meso-American style to their architecture?
I noticed two things, or technically I didn't notice two things. A: The Mastersword isn't in this trailer, at all. It is never seen. However in the original teaser that starts off all of these events, Link has it. Where did it go? How did Link lose it? Will we get it back? B: The Sheika Slate is missing as well. I wonder if Link and Zelda retired it or if it fell down with Zelda. On another note, I'm wondering how the developers will have us start at lower hearts if it's post game. Maybe it has something to do with the hand and the scene where Link is lying down next to it.
I suspect that the loss of hearts and the Master Sword could have the same solution because Malice is covering Link's arm, that could be draining his life force, it's also the arm that he holds the Master Sword in, we do see part of the hilt so potentially it could be corrupted serving as Ganondorf's blade. As for the Sheikah Slate it's probably with Zelda or it's held for research purposes elsewhere.
A: Theory could be, that when the Malice latches out to Link (possibly to infect him as a new vessel) the "magic hand" gets a hold of Link and tries to suppress the spreading Malice within him...but the Master Sword repells evil and as Link is infected with Malice despite the hand holding the "infection" at bay, the Master Sword defies Links attempts to use it, so he may have to ditch the sword or put it to rest somewhere. Maybe the initial contact with the hand is the most basic "fitting" Link gets for his new arm, but later down the line, similar to when we acquire runes for the Sheikah Slate in BotW Link can upgrade his newly acquired "multitool arm" through laying down on a pedestal and being "charged with magic".
@Peterchu I have difficulty trying to sort my thoughts xD cause there are A LOT of ideas and different (contradicting) theories happening right now. Ok so... based on your idea of Ganon taking the sword. What if, as many comments on other videos have already theorized, we're going full circle here with a timeloop that leads back into Skyward Sword. But as we have already seen with BotW, the Master Sword can be damaged so this incarnation of the sword is not as allpowerful and totally impervious to damage, so what if Ganon actually gets a hold of the Sword with Malice so Link has to resort to other means of combat, the spirit in the sword (Fi, which we briefly heared in a BotW memory with a faint sfx once) slowly transforms into what later becomes Girahim, at the end of the game some cataclysmic event is close to obliterating the land and Hylia or maybe Zelda as her incarnation of the goddess steps in (whether she is actually dead with her fall in the trailer I don't think so, that would be super dark) and she ascends the remains of civilisation to the heavens to escape the Calamities wrath (which came from underground just as the tale of Demise was said to have risen in SS) Problem is, now that the Calamity (or Demise?) has got a hold of the (infected/transformed) MasterSword, she has to forge a whole new sword which later, as we're coming full circle with the newly ascended islands, will become the goddess sword and the new MasterSword which set of the events of Skyward Sword. Also notice how in BotW we never hear anyone mention the Triforce at all, except I think some minor depictions of it here and there? Sorry, its all a lot to comprehend and much of it surely contradicts given events from BotW etc. Maybe the final game wont be near as complicated as we're trying to make it out to be. xD *lol* I myself am just trying to vent some of the (crazy) ideas that sprung forth since yesterday. ^_^
Just wanna say, those wounds on Ganondorf’s lower chest, upper stomach is probably where the second hand that dug into Gandondorf was, not sword wounds. It’s not the right shape. Like, we pretty much agree that there was a whole person that sealed Ganondorf away, and it looks like by doing so they had dug their fingers in. So it looks like both hands had gone into our favorite villain, since the wounds are circular and at least three. (This makes me wonder if it’s harder to see all of the holes or the second hand didn’t have all five fingers.) You can even see those wounds in the first trailer, but it’s a tad hard to see. So far I don’t think anyone else had pointed it out in videos and I guess your comment about it being sword wound kicked me into gear about commenting lol. Good videos btw!
Thank you for saying something about the markings on his body and their parallel to the barbarian armor! None of the other Zeldatubers seemed to talk about it when analyzing the trailer on their livestream.
Hey Hyrule Gamer, do you think you could do an analysis on the Age of Calamity DLC trailer? I've already noticed 3 things: 1. Link's flail can grab enemies' weapons, at least for weak enemies. 2. That Moblin that threw the bomb barrel had another bomb barrel spawn in the thing on its back, leading me to believe that it infinitely throws bomb barrels. 3. The wizzrobes had different coloring, leading me to believe that they are some of the "new, challenging enemies."
I’d like to mention that (I’m pretty sure) every shot with Champion’s Garb Link takes place in the original Hyrule. He never wears it at the same time that there are floating islands. This is probably the beginning game before he gets the hand. Also, in the same shot (Talus camp), neither Rudania nor Ruta where in the same shot where they fired on calamity ganon. I know Zelda mentioned something about Ruta in the epilogue of BotW. I’d love for you to analyze this because I know I wouldn’t be able to.
Right. But from the "reverse stasis" scene, the moblins got something on their head (background and on the right). Could be a helmet? Or a weird round horn-hair thing..? Guess it's a helmet, but it looks like he just put half a watermelon on his head xD
One thing I wondered from the shot of him falling was if the tunic was one for the original vah rudania champion. I have the Amiibo for Daruk and they aren't identical but it does look like a lizard maybe on the tunic. Also the eye at 0:31 of the video isn't quite sheikah with more squared off ends which match the "eyes" hanging from the new creature in the cloud area (its near the same type of temple as the ones when Link travels through from the bottom). I'm only new to the Zelda franchise with BOTW but is it known that the sheikah and Zonai existed at the same time or is possible that the zonai existed then the sheikah evolved from them thats why these eyes are similar but not exactly the same. ALSOOOOOO sooo excited!!!
*Markings* This is a STREEETCH theory. This new trailer DEFINITELY shows his hand being attacked by some kind of malice, while later the green arm spirit fuses with Link’s arm. You can still see the marks on links skin while this sequence takes place.
Other things I have personally noticed is that if you look at the top of link’s arm in the arm close-up shot, you can see the markings from before settle in on his upper arm. Later, when we see the sort of reverse stasis thing happen with the metal ball, we see a blue bokoblin, also mysteriously bearing a horn on its head.
the big green robot thing seriously reminds me of skyward sword. both with the ancient lanayru robots and their architecture, and with the lizalfos (& their statues) in that game. just the bright vibrant colors and art style of that shot scream skyward sword to me
That big robot enemy gives me big skyward sword time shift stone ancient robot vibes.. maybe it’s not an enemy and something that was unearthed when all the islands went into the sky
The green thing looks like some kind of one eye chameleon robot. The stone style and technology of it might indicate Zion. Reminds me of the horse god, maybe it’s friendly and gives you enhancements?
The Stone "Robot" thing @4:01 looks like it has hands floating at the bottom of the image, it reminds me of Bongo Bongo, from the Shadow Temple in OoT, also don't you fight a similar boss in The Wind Waker before collecting the 8 shards of the Triforce in that game? This trailer has me so excited thinking of all the possibilities!
You forgot at the very beginning of the trailer the malice tendrils going up links arm..that might be where the markings come from, or why he needs the new green hand/arm
The hand is corrupted by malice then to keep it from spreading the jewelry looking stuff looks to be added. You can see his skin looks to be discolored from the corruption
After link’s hand is caught in malice, he has to chop it off, and the sealing hand replaced hit, or it merged with link in an attempt to dispel the malice and save him
4:00 That looks like some kind of mechanical reptile if you look at it from a certain perspective. The eyes on the side of the head, the white under the mouth...
The green cloth link is featured with reminds me of the champions sashes, but obviously in his signature color. He also doesn’t have the masters word in any of these scenes (arm & sword fuse? Fi true powers?) , & they neglect to show his face as well. The buildings near him after they show him warp through the stone also have writing on them. The new look seems eerily similar to the tapestry of the hero prior too.
Favourite thing from the new trailer?
Keep up to date here! - twitter.com/Hyrule_101
Just a tiny little thing... THE MASSIVE ISLANDS
Heyyyy
Ganondorf!!!!! And all the islands
Also unicorn bokoblins
I noticed that Links hair was down for most of the trailer and his Buddha monk looking outfit, honestly love both they look so good and ever since I first put on the ancient armor in breath of the wild I’ve really wanted to see link with just his hair down so that made me happy
Unpopular opinion: The hand is the one from the toilet in Majora's Mask
That's ridiculous...it's obviously the one from Skyward Sword.
Wait, there’s a hand in a toilet!? And there’s more than one!?
ew
No it's the one from oracle of ages
What if its ganons hand so link has 2 pieces of the tryforce
The flame thrower looks a lot like the dragon zonai statues, perhaps we find more Zonai items in this game.
Yes! I really hope they dive into Zonai technology. They didn’t give us much about them last game, but enough details to make them interesting and intriguing. Let’s hope it doesn’t air in December 2022 or gets delayed to 2023...
Hope they finnaly explain some things about them .
Ye!
and that statue robot thing had swirls on its cheeks, resembling both the zonai dragon cheek circles n zonai swirls
A dragon, a boar, and an owl weapons
no one is talking about the time reversal stasis effect. Link stops that spiked metal ball and moves it backwards in time. that is gonna be a huge part of this game.
and when you see it done like this, it's like "that's kind of cool"
but when you think about where they could go with this kind of power, and that this is likely only ONE of a few new powers... I'm pumped lol
And the drop of water.
It falls from the...sky...island...thing. He then, I guess, reverses time back up to where it dripped from inside of the drop?
I saw that too, but no more than I saw, I thought that he stopped it with Stasis, hit it to reverse the momentum, and then we got to see it come out of stasis.
Thats part if the reasons im getting time travel vibes for the story.
Saw the triforce glowing on his hand during that
Also really hope link “and everyone else” remember who you are this time. No amnesia please lol
I kind of think that story may have passed. Instead, it may be like the theory I've seen a few times, where we go through an introductory level on our way to find Ganondorf, then we have both Skyloft and an underground (Metroid-style?) labyrinth as we climb our way to the castle proper.
I’m really holding onto the theory that the hand is heavily related to the hero of 10,000 years ago. I have no idea how, but this game, with the trailer music being the first botw’s trailer music in reverse, the huge skyward sword vibes, it all feels very lore heavy and I’m hype as hell
It's nails are similar to Ganondorf's tho as can be seen in the first trailer.
Also, the new clothing heavily matches the ancient hero's clothing.
Well -- if we recall the story Impa told of 10,000 years ago, the visuals showed a Link-like character with a glowing green right hand -- so yes.
Straight up, I think we ARE the hero from 10,000 years ago.
In this trailer, Link looks effectively IDENTICAL to the link portrayed in the mural of the battle 10,000 years ago. On top of that, the trailer includes a lot of reversed sound clips, and a reversed shot of a water droplet falling on the ground. It's clear that the 'reversal of time' will be a key theme in this game in some form or another. The Zelda series is also not shy about the concept of time travel. Hell, the series is in no small part BUILT on the idea of timey-wimey shenanighans.
How does one add depth to a game world we've already thoroughly explored? Well, you could add underground areas (like we've seen), areas floating in the sky (awesome), and... perhaps a some point in the game.... we might see what Hyrule looked like 10,000 years ago. Think about it. It'd be a great way to re-use land assets, but still have a whole new unique look on the lands.
I've floated this idea a bit before, but now I'm much more confident it's not just a baseless idea. Hylia is, after all, a goddess of Time. I've always felt the battle from 10,000 years ago was too fleshed out for it not to be an event that would become more relevant at some point.
It’s not exactly reversed but they share a bunch of leitmotifs
Theory: The Link in the sky/floating island section is actually the hero from 10,000 years ago, possibly older(pre or post Skyward sword) and the owner of the green glowing hand. Note the way he is dressed, it's almost ancient(similar to ancient Greek/Roman dress) the hair is different as well.
I think that after Link loses his hand(first few seconds of the new trailer) he gets the green glowing one(somehow) and the sky sections are flashbacks that give us the story on how things went down/ how that hand and Ganondorf ended up down there. And maybe a playable way for Link to upgrade his arm(new Sheikah slate)
Link’s hair isn’t longer, it’s the same length as it is in BOTW when he wears the ancient armor
I think it just looks longer because the lack of a ponytail lol.
@@Player-jh4ko yeah for sure, I just keep seeing people saying a ton of time has passed because his hair is longer when it isn’t 😂
@@crossman1611 idk, they never show the front of “link” in that outfit... and zelda’s hair is similar length to link’s after she cut it...
@@crossman1611 I assumed so too. But it is interesting that we see links face in the clips where he has his breath of the wild look going on, but in the other shots with this new look/outfit we never see his face...
@@lovesgibson it's the arm that makes it pretty likely that it's link. If it isn't link I would be extremely surprised
There's a really good theory video about the shrine of resurrection being a stasis chamber to keep someone alive and not as a healing room (i don't remember who made it) after seeing this trailer I'm starting to believe that the malice ripped link's hand off and the green hand fused with link to save him.
Now back to why I mentioned the shrine of resurrection, maybe the sheikah made that shrine to keep the hero from 10,000 years ago alive so he could defeat the calamity again, but since the shrine is empty when link used it that means something happened to the ancient hero.
I believe that the ancient hero sacrificed himself to a seal to keep Ganondorf sealed under Hyrule castle and became the green hand (maybe at one point it was the whole hero but as the seal weakened he started to disappear)
Evidence to support this is that in the mural the ancient hero had a greenish yellow hand and is literally depicted to seal Ganondorf.
The reason the hand saved link is because the ancient hero recognized that it's his reencarnation and saved link knowing that he'd be able to defeat Ganondorf.
Past reencarnations have been seen to coexist with the present hero like what happened with the hero of shade in twilight princess.
I believe that the ancient hero is part of the zonai tribe and was a magic user and that's why link has powers now.
While looking at the Barbarian set which is believed to be the armor the ancient hero wore has it's right hand completely covered with bone and gloves unlike the left hand that only has a sleeve and no glove.
Barbarian set boots also have a very similar esthetic to the ones in the trailer as well. Very similar.
@@JordenBarry Very true, and the right hand in the barbarian armor is the only part of the armor that doesn't have markings, so there's a connection there too.
That makes a lot of sense! I only think maybe the malice infected his arm or dissolved it because tearing it off would be quite gory for a Zelda game.
but the right hand isn't completely covered
@@whocaresitsaNameSgotu Not entirely but it's more covered than the left one

@@orlandobritt1460 maybe they started because they got tired Rolf being thrown by the moblins and wanted to rebel
Couple things I noticed that I haven't seen many people mention:
1) New symbol on Link's shield while in the sky is similar to a sheikah eye, however the eye is looking upward. Up to the sky?
2) The Zelda's Lullaby stab at the end uses the same instrumentation as the music for the dragons.
3) When Link is in the sky, we can see one area with those big mushroom-tree things. Can't for the life of me remember what it's called. Anyway, we can see that same exact area later in the final shot of Hyrule Castle, but there are no islands to be seen. This suggests one of two things. One, the islands aren't visible because they're above the cloud barrier. Or, two, the islands literally aren't there, and Link has some kind of new time reversal power that allows him to travel back in time to when the islands existed, as evidenced by the animation of the water drop falling in reverse.
4) Link's clothing while in the sky is quite similar to the outfits of the Skyloftians, as well as Ganondorf's robes.
-5) While Link no longer has the Master Sword, I notice that many of the swords he uses have scabbards. If I remember correctly (and I may be wildly incorrect on this point), only the Master Sword had a scabbard in BotW. Is this simply a graphical improvement? Or, does it imply that these weapons are more permanently equipped, and so weapon durability is going away?-
Most of the swords had scabbards in botw
@@nb31b you're right, I went back and checked.
I found the exact place where the mushrooms appears in the trailer. The same plataform, same everything, there was some Zonai pillars or something,but those didn't appear in the trailer.
I believe the reason that you can not see the floating islands is because hyrule castle floating is likely going to be one of the first events in the sequel, and the reason you cannot see the islands is because of the cloud barrier, which was made by Hylia to separate the sky from the ground. The reason that you can only see it later in the game will likely be because Hylia’s power is starting to weaken.
Vaati eye
It's weird that they never show long hair "Link's" face so they might be Zelda or even someone new? Also you never see the master sword or any Sheikah tech (there's a spot where the camera pans to the Talus and you can see the Dueling Peaks, but the tower isn't there). And the moblins in the stasis segment are wearing hats which is a cool detail
Also some crazy Ghibli vibes

Mentally, I'm ecstatic, physically, I'll have a bruise tomorrow because I smacked myself in the face as I got excited
I believe that the Wired ancient robot with Sheika symbols on him is not an enemy but actually, a house/hub keeper robot. I believe this because if you look at the stomach there is a circle with a symbol of a broom in the meddle. The symbol is most likely very connected with himself. Usually in video games the broom is usually connected with cleaning or housekeeping, usually someone who you can come to to change things in your home or help equip new gear. along with this he looks a little bit friendly with his big ears. I am guessing one of the islands you can find will be a place where you are able to make abase you can teleport to and from. then this robot once you activate it will help you and serve as an NPC that you can talk to as a way for customizing you bases or storing weapons. along with this we could find more island with different robots with different help full traits. (ex. Blacksmith. Armorer enchanter. extra side quest giver, inn manager ex.) Ether this or you right arm can turn into a broom and that shows that you need to brush dirt at it to defeat it... or it shows you need to fix it for it to start working and they can be used as way points.
Man the personalized base/hub thing sounds so cool. I love the house you can buy in BoTW but was so disappointed there wasn’t more customization options. Barely any. I mean I may be nuts because I have like 4 huge player home mods in Skyrim and decorate them all buuuut come on you could hardly display weapons even.
An interesting thing is that Ganondorf's tunic reveals his right hand, much like the tunic Link is wearing in the sky world

If you freeze at exactly 6:39, there’s some green light, probably meaning the flamethrower is powered by the Hand
The flamethrower has the same green energy if you look closely
@Daren Fliflet bro… you genius!!!!!!
It also looked like a zonai structure
@Daren Fliflet sounds too cool to be real
@Daren Fliflet yea I have the same feeling cuz the getup is similar to the one from the tepastry
Also i hear everyone talking about customizable hair because of what we saw in the trailer
i would like to point out that in breath of the wild, there was already hair style changes via different clothes
and in the trailer the only time we see this hair is in those different clothes. So i think its safe to assume we won't be getting customizable hair in the way people thought, just the same system as botw
but when his hair is long he doesn’t have a hat or necklace on
@@BlueAvocado75 The hair style itself could count as a hat
and also people say his hair grew longer but he just undid the ponytail
@@ridwanali6186 i agree
Not only 3 high quality videos in 1 day, but also getting to watch my favourite youtuber while getting to know more things about the new trailer, perfection.
Link’s hand that is infected has his nails out as claws. Almost monstrous. He doesn’t have the Master Sword so the Master Sword left him because he isn’t pure enough to wield it. He has to purify himself and take control of the power before he can wield the Master Sword again
Wait that totally makes sense. That would then keep you from having a op sword early game. Perfect way to reset the story back to the start of a game
@@wilhams3358 That’s true. links right arm got corrupted while it was holding the master sword(you can see him holding it in trailer) so the master sword disappeared. I think the pure arm will replace links corrupted arm and it will fuse into his skin(which is why it is not green when on him)
The green arm is probably the source of his powers. They are not upgraded runes, they are a whole new power. There may be a possibility that you can re obtain the sheika slate.
That’s my theory
Thats a really good thoery
I actually love this theory 🤔
The master sword not only accepted twilight link despite the fact that he was infected by explicitly dark magic, but also purified him.
I don’t actually think the character falling through the sky is link. I think he’s the hero from 10,000 years ago, as marked in the tapestry. Note the longer hair and green hand in the tapestry to compare to the person falling through the sky. We also don’t fully see his face yet, and if he looks similar to link I wouldn’t be surprised.
I’m probably wrong though lol
You can also look at 0:53 and see a bunch of non-ruined zonai ish structures.
Interesting take! We shall see :D
There are also no floating islands at the end screenshot of the floating castle. EDIT: If you look at 0:48, you will notice that the floating islands are above the wierd mushroom tree things in tabantha. If you then look at 1:15 over that area, there aren't any floating islands. This isn't concrete evidence, but if the islands were to rise up you would think we would see malice around the floating islands (at 0:48) or evidence that the areas that become floating islands are rising (like malice or dust similar to around the castle in the first trailer.).
Might just be me but i think sky link's hair looks a brighter shade of blonde compared to current time Link, I'm leaning towards it being a past incarnation too
It could be that link actually loses his arm to the malice at the start of the trailer and this new arm replaces it, could even be gannondorf’s arm with them nails.
Definitely.
The hand before becoming part of link has a striking resemblance to the hand of a dragon; the animal resembling courage in botw. The robot also takes the shape of a dragon, which makes me wonder if it's an enemy or not.
The flying robot may not be an enemy (a mechanic?), and its "hands" are shaped like Sheikah eye symbols, but upside down.
Another thing people have missed or haven't brought up a lot is that Link uses the arm to stop time when the spiked balls were rolling down towards him instead of using the Sheikah Slate
No the holes on ganondorf’s chest are from the green hand
huh makes sence
ehh, oddly shaped holes for a hand. A blade, from YEARS ago could seal up that way imo.

@@aslowsloth2461 yeah you’re right
I'm glad someone else talked about the moblin horns on the bokos. I didn't see anybody notice them.
That trailer was awesome and I can’t believe that Link has a freaking flamethrower on his shield!
Ahhhh my mind is blowing up, this trailer is waaaaaay more than I was expecting! Also I thought the fingernails on Links possessed hand were very reminiscent of the Sheika monks. & the robot thing looked a bit Zonai, but also a bit like the Skyward Sword robot thingies... Maybe something to do with Hylia?
Here's a little theory that you can pry from my cold dead hands:
So, the Sheikah created the ancient tech right? Well how the hell did they power that stuff? Throughout all the games the Sheikah have pretty much been ninjas that have been known to use shadow magic and that would be far too unstable/probably useless when it comes to powering giant robots. So here's my theory: The Sheikah stole the Zonai magic (the green glowy stuff that let Link phase through a wall) to power their technology. Now I know it sounds dull but here's how I think it played out:
The Sheikah heard of these (possibly) barbarian people that used glowy green magic and had developed it enough to power machinery (evidence: the funky robot in the trailer). Knowing that they needed a power source for their own technology, the Sheikah decided to steal this glowy magic. This also explains why the Zonai disappeared. They were being hunted down by the Sheikah and decided to (probably) escape to the skies where they wouldn't be followed. The Zonai did this by using their magic to reverse time and phase through the floating islands above or whatever it was Link did. They did manage to save some of their magic but the Sheikah got their hands on enough to power the guardians, divine beasts and their other stuff. However, the green glowy magic was probably far too unstable to be used as a power source for their robots. If they used it to give the guardians the ability to reverse time (or some other weird Zonai ability) it could hugely backfire on them. So, Sheikah scientists found ways to modify the raw Zonai magic and contain it enough that it was the perfect source of power for their robots. This explains why the ancient tech is a different colour to Zonai magic (it's blue when active and orange when inactive rather than being the green of the raw Zonai magic) because it has been modified to suit the needs of the Sheikah. This could also explain a theory that I've seen where Link's new Zonai hand 'absorbed' the Sheikah Slate, hence why it's not with Link or Zelda in either of the trailers. Why would a Zonai hand absorb the power of Sheikah tech? Because it's powered by the same stuff the hand is made from *mic drop*.
Anyway I had this idea and ran with it. I doubt it's the case but it's still cool to think that the guardians and divine beasts are powered by the same stuff that allows Link to phase through walls and reverse time like in the trailer. Sorry this came out so long I just needed to get it down before I forgot :D
bro. omg
Big Man Hyrule I'm impressed how quickly and the good quality of a video and analysis was with such a short amount of time
Possible theory: The hand belongs to Farore, who the Zonai worship.
I mean that makes sense but we'll see
Midna's hand?
That lost woods lofi remix has to be his new favourite song ive heard it in so many endcards by now

Respects for the in depth 7 detail video ya made in record time. Also love how ya pointed out the mobcoblin horn addition and I didn't see the flame thrower on the shield. I thought he was holding it like a two handed weapon of some kind, thanks for the content Hyrule Gamer.😁👍
The gimmick this time for BotW2 seems to be time manipulation. We see this with Link seeming to freeze the spiked boulders and then send it in reverse as the screen went grey. We've also had the continuous use of backwards music in these trailers which further confirms this as a central feature.
This also explains what happened to Ganondorf. The Zonai trapped him in an eternal near death state by accelerating his aging using the vambrace. This means he has the Triforce of Power still as it is known to be how he heals any injury and has near immortality. What you have here is Ganondorf just barely managing to counteract the rapid decay of his body.
As is evident in the trailer, this Zonai hero let go of Ganondorf to save Link and Zelda when the floor collapsed. A mistake that gave Ganondorf an opportunity to escape.
The line and circle pattern in the laying down shot looks like the electrical circuits powered by spheres in the divine beast puzzles!
Wow he really put the whole trailer in there unedited, risky plays but I like it.
I think the dark marks that are crawling up from Links arm to his chest are kind of an infliction/curse the malice left behind after it attacks him. this would have slowly killed Link but the green hand sealed itself on Links Arm to prevent it from spreading any further. big Princess mononoke vibes.
can't wait for more theories, keep up the good work.
Keep up the hard work Adam! Loving all the vids today!
Thanks a lot! More to come :D
@@HyruleGamer Woo hoo!
The holes in his chest are from the hand holding him down. If you look at the first teaser trailer, the close up shot of the hand shows that it has very long nails. The holes are probably from the nails of the green hand digging into Ganondorf's flesh. The markings on his body are probably residual scarring due to the green arm merging with his body, not zonai war paint. They look like they are arranged in a more of a swirl pattern, like the green swirling energy from the first trailer.
On another note, at the beginning Link's arm gets encompassed with Malice, not green magic. I wonder if his arm absorbs malice and is poisoned and that's why it gets replaced with a different arm that also has magic.
Or if the green looking stuff gets put on his arm to keep the corruption of malice from spreading to the rest of his body
Been waiting for analysis videos on the trailer lol thx for being so quick
“Zonai details” ok but the robot literally has sheikah eyes
The robot also looks like it's made of jade, and if you look at a lot of old Meso-American art, they tend to use a lot of jade. And which race has a very Meso-American style to their architecture?
I cant stop watching the trailer and going through every detail. It has been hours :D I am so happy.
I noticed two things, or technically I didn't notice two things.
A: The Mastersword isn't in this trailer, at all. It is never seen. However in the original teaser that starts off all of these events, Link has it.
Where did it go? How did Link lose it? Will we get it back?
B: The Sheika Slate is missing as well. I wonder if Link and Zelda retired it or if it fell down with Zelda.
On another note, I'm wondering how the developers will have us start at lower hearts if it's post game. Maybe it has something to do with the hand and the scene where Link is lying down next to it.
I suspect that the loss of hearts and the Master Sword could have the same solution because Malice is covering Link's arm, that could be draining his life force, it's also the arm that he holds the Master Sword in, we do see part of the hilt so potentially it could be corrupted serving as Ganondorf's blade. As for the Sheikah Slate it's probably with Zelda or it's held for research purposes elsewhere.
A: Theory could be, that when the Malice latches out to Link (possibly to infect him as a new vessel) the "magic hand" gets a hold of Link and tries to suppress the spreading Malice within him...but the Master Sword repells evil and as Link is infected with Malice despite the hand holding the "infection" at bay, the Master Sword defies Links attempts to use it, so he may have to ditch the sword or put it to rest somewhere.
Maybe the initial contact with the hand is the most basic "fitting" Link gets for his new arm, but later down the line, similar to when we acquire runes for the Sheikah Slate in BotW Link can upgrade his newly acquired "multitool arm" through laying down on a pedestal and being "charged with magic".
@Peterchu I have difficulty trying to sort my thoughts xD cause there are A LOT of ideas and different (contradicting) theories happening right now.
Ok so... based on your idea of Ganon taking the sword.
What if, as many comments on other videos have already theorized, we're going full circle here with a timeloop that leads back into Skyward Sword.
But as we have already seen with BotW, the Master Sword can be damaged so this incarnation of the sword is not as allpowerful and totally impervious to damage, so what if Ganon actually gets a hold of the Sword with Malice so Link has to resort to other means of combat, the spirit in the sword (Fi, which we briefly heared in a BotW memory with a faint sfx once) slowly transforms into what later becomes Girahim, at the end of the game some cataclysmic event is close to obliterating the land and Hylia or maybe Zelda as her incarnation of the goddess steps in (whether she is actually dead with her fall in the trailer I don't think so, that would be super dark) and she ascends the remains of civilisation to the heavens to escape the Calamities wrath (which came from underground just as the tale of Demise was said to have risen in SS)
Problem is, now that the Calamity (or Demise?) has got a hold of the (infected/transformed) MasterSword, she has to forge a whole new sword which later, as we're coming full circle with the newly ascended islands, will become the goddess sword and the new MasterSword which set of the events of Skyward Sword.
Also notice how in BotW we never hear anyone mention the Triforce at all, except I think some minor depictions of it here and there?
Sorry, its all a lot to comprehend and much of it surely contradicts given events from BotW etc.
Maybe the final game wont be near as complicated as we're trying to make it out to be. xD *lol*
I myself am just trying to vent some of the (crazy) ideas that sprung forth since yesterday. ^_^
Just wanna say, those wounds on Ganondorf’s lower chest, upper stomach is probably where the second hand that dug into Gandondorf was, not sword wounds. It’s not the right shape. Like, we pretty much agree that there was a whole person that sealed Ganondorf away, and it looks like by doing so they had dug their fingers in. So it looks like both hands had gone into our favorite villain, since the wounds are circular and at least three. (This makes me wonder if it’s harder to see all of the holes or the second hand didn’t have all five fingers.) You can even see those wounds in the first trailer, but it’s a tad hard to see. So far I don’t think anyone else had pointed it out in videos and I guess your comment about it being sword wound kicked me into gear about commenting lol. Good videos btw!
The holes in Ganondorf's chest...isn't that where that hand stuck in him was?
Thank you for saying something about the markings on his body and their parallel to the barbarian armor! None of the other Zeldatubers seemed to talk about it when analyzing the trailer on their livestream.
That robot looks like a frog. Didn't the Zonai often use animals symbols? Frogs also represent the transition between two worlds in many mythologies.
You know what I saw?
During the Talos camp, the sky is empty, and Link is wearing his blue armor. This is gonna be a two part game, kiddos.
Possibly yeah!
you missed the shot of link at the beginning where his arm the same one the green hand takes over getting grabbed by malice.
That robot looks too friendly to be an enemy. I think it’ll be a kind of NPC guide
Hey, the shield attachment is a Zonai Dragon!

IM POOR BUT IM SAVING UP
As will I. If there's a collectors edition of some sort I'll definitely grab that as well.
The only game I will ever preorder.
Hey Hyrule Gamer, do you think you could do an analysis on the Age of Calamity DLC trailer? I've already noticed 3 things:
1. Link's flail can grab enemies' weapons, at least for weak enemies.
2. That Moblin that threw the bomb barrel had another bomb barrel spawn in the thing on its back, leading me to believe that it infinitely throws bomb barrels.
3. The wizzrobes had different coloring, leading me to believe that they are some of the "new, challenging enemies."
Did no one else notice Gannon’s nipple ring?
I thought it was funny.
His WHAT??
I’d like to mention that (I’m pretty sure) every shot with Champion’s Garb Link takes place in the original Hyrule. He never wears it at the same time that there are floating islands. This is probably the beginning game before he gets the hand. Also, in the same shot (Talus camp), neither Rudania nor Ruta where in the same shot where they fired on calamity ganon. I know Zelda mentioned something about Ruta in the epilogue of BotW. I’d love for you to analyze this because I know I wouldn’t be able to.
I’m getting massive last guardian vibes especially with the clothes and markings
My boy Link looking like Shaggy at his 1% use of power
You forgot that the moblins now have little horns
Right. But from the "reverse stasis" scene, the moblins got something on their head (background and on the right). Could be a helmet? Or a weird round horn-hair thing..?
Guess it's a helmet, but it looks like he just put half a watermelon on his head xD
@@TheDarkSan666 yeah it’s a helmet
Weird looking one! Really wonder what caused the horn changes though… Can‘t be blamed on malice I guess. So maybe just Evolution?
One thing I wondered from the shot of him falling was if the tunic was one for the original vah rudania champion. I have the Amiibo for Daruk and they aren't identical but it does look like a lizard maybe on the tunic. Also the eye at 0:31 of the video isn't quite sheikah with more squared off ends which match the "eyes" hanging from the new creature in the cloud area (its near the same type of temple as the ones when Link travels through from the bottom). I'm only new to the Zelda franchise with BOTW but is it known that the sheikah and Zonai existed at the same time or is possible that the zonai existed then the sheikah evolved from them thats why these eyes are similar but not exactly the same. ALSOOOOOO sooo excited!!!
I think link lost his arm and that prosthetic was a replacement and they hooked his slate to it
*Markings* This is a STREEETCH theory. This new trailer DEFINITELY shows his hand being attacked by some kind of malice, while later the green arm spirit fuses with Link’s arm. You can still see the marks on links skin while this sequence takes place.
Hey all Scott here
😎
😎
That robot looking thing seems to have the symbol of the sheika in its earring looking things.
Maybe the arm is the side character, like midna or fi, or navy.
The "link" falling from the sky is wearing the exact same clothes as dehydrated ganondorf... 🤔
I've never heard you say the F word
Other things I have personally noticed is that if you look at the top of link’s arm in the arm close-up shot, you can see the markings from before settle in on his upper arm. Later, when we see the sort of reverse stasis thing happen with the metal ball, we see a blue bokoblin, also mysteriously bearing a horn on its head.
First. 👀

I actually think @Hyrule Gamer might have been first....

At 4:45 you can see the back of a shrine in the background in the left
No those are just ruins but there is no sheikah tech atleast i cant see it
the big green robot thing seriously reminds me of skyward sword. both with the ancient lanayru robots and their architecture, and with the lizalfos (& their statues) in that game. just the bright vibrant colors and art style of that shot scream skyward sword to me
That big robot enemy gives me big skyward sword time shift stone ancient robot vibes.. maybe it’s not an enemy and something that was unearthed when all the islands went into the sky
The green thing looks like some kind of one eye chameleon robot. The stone style and technology of it might indicate Zion. Reminds me of the horse god, maybe it’s friendly and gives you enhancements?
Yay, I needed this video! Trailers confuse and overwhelm me. 😅 Thanks HG!
The Stone "Robot" thing @4:01 looks like it has hands floating at the bottom of the image, it reminds me of Bongo Bongo, from the Shadow Temple in OoT, also don't you fight a similar boss in The Wind Waker before collecting the 8 shards of the Triforce in that game? This trailer has me so excited thinking of all the possibilities!
Anyone else notice how similar Link's new clothes are to the Ganondorf mummy's?
Anyone notice that the bokoblins in the trailer have long moblin-like horns and moblins have old boko horns? It’s very interesting
4:50 I think it's really cool that the ore deposit on the talus is guarded by Bokoblin camp walls.
You forgot at the very beginning of the trailer the malice tendrils going up links arm..that might be where the markings come from, or why he needs the new green hand/arm
The hand is corrupted by malice then to keep it from spreading the jewelry looking stuff looks to be added. You can see his skin looks to be discolored from the corruption
Is nobody else gonna talk about the new and hopefully customizable paraglider?
Link cant get a break. He already killed Gannon once and a few weeks later he learns he has do do it again. That's rough buddy.
After link’s hand is caught in malice, he has to chop it off, and the sealing hand replaced hit, or it merged with link in an attempt to dispel the malice and save him
4:00 That looks like some kind of mechanical reptile if you look at it from a certain perspective. The eyes on the side of the head, the white under the mouth...
I like the idea of it being Zelda's mom. That's somehow comforting.
The green cloth link is featured with reminds me of the champions sashes, but obviously in his signature color. He also doesn’t have the masters word in any of these scenes (arm & sword fuse?
