- In a recent Famitsu interview with the producer of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Eiji Aonuma and Hidemaro Fujibayashi, the game's director. They were asked where Tears of the Kingdom fit in the Zelda Timeline. And thanks to their answer, we now know exactly where and how. So in this video I break down Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom's events and other mysteries regarding the Zelda Timeline. Along with the new importance of the Sheikah and introduction of the Zonai.

![Why Rauru's Kingdom Wasn't FIRST (ft. @wizcatcheslightning ) [TotK THEORY]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Gajk1u4Qt20/mqdefault.jpg)
Theory for the Zonai hybrid: Either Raaru and Mineru were the last to "descend" and then this is a new child hybrid or a new "descender".
People forgetting that it's been established that there is a literal Goddess of Time in the Zelda universe that can influence time itself, re: SS, OoT, MM. Hylia would be very capable of merging the three timelines into a new, unified one, and influencing the flow of time to ensure that the future happened as it should, re: the Rito and Zora existing at the same time in the unified timeline. I could argue that it was Hylia who pulled Zelda back into the past; I really don't believe that Zelda consciously went back in time once she got the Secret Stone, or, if her merely obtaining the Secret Stone was what "woke up" her time powers and enabled her to travel through time, and she unconsciously did so in a panic ("I'm falling to my death, I need to be somewhere else"), I think Hylia must've been influencing it in some way because IMO it is VERY unlikely that Zelda purposefully went back in time to the EXACT POINT where she needed to be
re: "so their new king and queen had no clue Ganondorf was ever a threat"
Rauru straight-up says in the A Show of Fealty memory that he's "well aware of [Ganondorf's] evil nature", and wants him as an "ally" only so he can keep an eye on him. Also Sonia says in the game that she and Zelda share a blood connection, meaning that there was definitely a Sonia/Rauru kid that we just never saw on-screen, probably being hidden from Ganondorf and his forces. Given that Ganondorf only acknowledges Rauru and Mineru as being the only remaining Zonai in the A Show of Fealty memory, that still leaves the possibility that this child *did* appear as a Zonai that Ganondorf just didn't know about, and so he *could have been* the Ancient Hero depicted on the tapestry as having been the one who defeated the original Calamity of 10,000 years ago. The Zonai genes were probably just diluted and eventually bred out of existence over time, up until BotW
Homie, Nintendo should hire you as a lorekeeper. Well done!
You really typed a bunch of bs😂
@@justaviewer1410You’re too overly stupid/immature to have and appreciate critical thinking, theory, and contexts clues analysis
Hylia is the reincarnation of Zelda, your theory is massively flawed.
This new era is fine, I just hope they do touch on older titles in the future.
imagine a spirit tracks sequel where some treasure hunter salvaged Ganondorfs stone statue corpse from the great sea, the story could start like King Arthur pulling the sword out of the stone, though this time it’s the master sword out of Ganondorfs ol’ noggin.
That in turn could cause the seal to break and a toonified version of mummy-dorf could be the antagonist, and link would have to reverse the mistake of pulling the sword out
What do you think a sequel to Spirit Tracks would look like?
Some people have imagined a game with a steampunk aesthetic.
They mentioned they wanted to move away from the old Zeldas so many times now and start a new (which is the reason they are restarting the origins of Hyrule)
What happened to your tears of the Kingdom series bud I was really looking forward to it
Hey Luke when are you going to upload your LP’s
Part 16 when🥹🥹🥹
Never. He hasn't finished a playthrough of a game on TH-cam in 2 years since his links awakening playthrough.
I'm also waiting my friend
I don’t think he likes totk!
He needs to get his pc upgraded
It's coming this week if you didn't catch the community post!
Checkmate, haters!
I really enjoy old ideas and new ideas collaberating, with tons of references to other Zelda games
I wonder if the next big Zelda game will have a great confluence storyline, where we will see all three OoT timelines merge. The Triforce would have the power to pull something like this off. Then BotW having Rito AND Zora would finally make sense.
I agree that the ancient hero is a hybrid. He's not exactly like a zonai, he has hylian ears and has hylian proportions
i think everyone is wrong about this being the same ganondorf as oot and that era of games.
reason being, he doesnt bat an eye at the name link when rauru tells him during the sealing process that link will come to finish him with the sword that seals the darkness. presumably, if it was the same ganondorf, we'd see a reaction of familiarity out of him seeing as he would've faced a version of link along with the master sword atleast 3 times, being during OOT, twighlight princess, and wind waker, phantom hourglass, adventures of link, ect.
each timeline has a reincarnation of ganondorf that has lived through several hero attempts to permanently seal him/destroy him.
somehow, one of these links at the end of the mythic timeline events actually did it, and triggered yet another ganondorf reincarnation being born. whether its the one we see during TOTK, or the one(s) that preceded him.
yeah but that’s probably because everyones name in ocerina of time was like “Mr. Butt” and “Poop” i wasn’t alive when Oot came out but i remember when i was old enough to comprehend what i was doing and i made my name Poop lmao my 6 year old brain was huge… so for me, the hero of tjme was Poop. not Link.
@mr.dr.prof.patrick7284 no, it's probably because they are different ganondorf incarnations.
@@Elite02k no it’s what i said… I’m right you’re wrong i’m big you’re little, i’m smart, and you’re not smart … im mr dr professor patrick
@@mr.dr.prof.patrick7284man, i must be old cuz I know a Matilda ref when I see it
@@amberthepuppeteer lmfaoo i didn’t want to come off too harshly by calling bro dumb 😂😂 but yes that is absolutely where it came from
I don't personally believe that the Ganondorf from TotK is the same as the previous ones. It's too far in the future. He didn't recognize the new Zelda or even Link's name. He never mentions the Triforce.
True but he is still Demise curse living in a new Gerudo body...with the same name. xD
Btw doesn't this make this ganondorf the strongest out of all of them. Considering he did all of this damage without the triforce?
@@sliceninja4546 Yes this Ganondorf is an absolute beast in comparison, a literal god-killer, and one that very easily outclasses Demise in just about every way possible
It's his spirit/soul/reincarnation. Same as for Zelda and Link
@@BakkerfeelingAdventures Ganondorf isn't part of the reincarnation cycle, common misconception but that alone proves there's a separation between the Wild series and the traditional series
where is part 16 of the Tears of the Kingdom 100% walkthrough
Hey ZM I hope you are feeling better. Are you able to continue uploading your videos for TOTK lets play? I love all of your guides, thank you for everything.
yes
@@ZeldaMaster I Think Sonia Never Conceived A Child Which Made Sense Because Of Midna's Ancestors History IE The Interloper War

This is one of the most underrated channels that deserves more subscribers. I remember when I used to watch ur old Zelda videos like ocarina of time and majoras mask I would always watch ur vids and play games and it gives so much nostalgia thank you for uploading for us feel better man 💛
This was an *Awesome* video and you did a *Wonderful* job *Luke* with trying to get us into thinking about the *World Of Zelda* in a whole *NEW* way. Thanks again for another trip into this *unknown* land!!!

6:38 He’s probably Rauru and Sonia’s son.
Quality content for sure, BUT I also want to know if I should go elsewhere for a playthrough of TOTK 😢😢😢 it’s not the same but I’ve waited so long
Watch ZackScott’s TOTK play through
Great video and learnt alot 👍🏼
Beautiful video and I love that theory. Take care
In the memory, "A Show of Fealty", Rauru and Sonia are well aware of Ganondorf's evil nature. King Rauru comments that it was for that very reason that they wanted to feign interest and keep a closer eye on him. The king of Hyrule in Ocarina of Time blindly believed that Ganondorf was true and good, and didn't believe his daughter's dreams were an omen of evil.
Furthermore, I should clarify I don't agree with the notion that every Zelda or descendent of Hylia was Hylia reborn. That has only ever been confirmed for the first Zelda, in Skyward Sword. Her descendants all carry her sacred blood, but not her immortal soul.
We also don't need to presume anything about the source of the Calamity. The game tells us what it is!
Stone plaque under Hyrule Castle, in the Royal Hidden Passageway, Tears of the Kingdom:
偉大ナル初代王コノ地深ク 魔王ヲ封印ス我ラモノ封印ヲ 強固トスル為 聖域ヲ張ルソノ要トシテココニ城ヲ築クモノナリコレ失ワレシ時 聖域モ失ワレ魔王時ト共二復活シソノ憎悪ト怨念ガコノ地ニ解キ放タレン即チ城ノ永続ハ王国ノ繁栄二繋ガルモノナリココニ恒久ノ安寧ヲ願ッテ
"Our first great king sealed the Demon King deep below this land. In effort to safeguard this seal, we have built this castle as the cornerstone to protect this sacred site. If the castle should ever fall, then this sacred site could be lost, and over time, the hatred and malice of the Demon King could revive and be unleashed upon this world. Thus, the continual presence of this castle is tied to the kingdom's prosperity, and we wish for its eternal peace."
Impa, Tears of the Kingdom:
厄災とは 太古の昔に生まれし魔王が 怨念となり復活した姿
"The Calamity...is the form taken by the resurrected malice of the Demon King born so long ago..."
@@theloruleanhistorian Thanks for the additional insight! You really are the Zelda Historian lol
Are we going to get totk part 16 of your series
And what about a reincarnation of girahim as someone who could be a final boss? I would love to see that as someone voiced by Yuri Lowenthal!
What are your thoughts of Matthew Mercer as the Voice of Ganondorf?
He fits really well as Ganondorf. Definitely did him justice for the Demon King.
Why is rauru seen as more important that Sonia. Ganondorf talks to him as king when Sonia’s should be the leader people talk to and rauru should of been the one to marry in royalty since she is related to Hylia
Waited patiently for so long, but damn. When I bought TOTK and was looking for a guide to follow, who would've thought the Zelda Master was the wrong person to follow. Best of luck
thanks
Hey ZM are you gonna finish the tears of the kingdom walkthrough??
Thankyou Zelda Master.
When we gonna get part 16 ???
This makes so much more sense, when I was playing through tears of the kingdom I was confused since the origin of hyrule TOTK gave us didn't quite align with the time line considering one of the sages was a Rito which came from hyrule being flooded in Windwaker.
A thing he gets wrong in this video is that the Goddess Hylia "reincarnates" into all Zeldas post Skyward Sword. That is false. All Zelda post Hylia reincarnated Skyward Sword Zelda are bloodline descendants. The only beings that reincarnates are Link and Ganondorf. The whole "Spirit of the Hero" thing is just Nintendo's way of saying the Hero Soul is the same even if the body isn't.
¿What about the Hero's Shade from Twilight Princess? You telling the Hero of Twilight is a DESCENDANT OF HIMSELF??? It does not compute.
@javiervasquez625 yes, because the Hero of Twilight is a REINCARNATION of a previous Hero who, this time, also happens to be his ancestor
@@Sarah_H You do know that Twilight Princess is a non canon story event of the Timeline right? Heck only the Downfall Timeline is the canon timeline. Why you may ask? Easy, it is the timeline that the first game of the series exists in. Same way "Kingdom Hearts 1" is the canon game of it's timeline. The Hero of Time was never meant to be successful in the first place. He was meant to die at the hands of Ganondorf in his Castle. I know it is a tough pill to swallow because to me my favorite Zelda game of all time before BotW was Majora's Mask but unlike the Child and Adult Timelines the Downfall Timeline's Triforce is fully in the possession of the Royal Family of Hyrule. Nintendo knows this which is why most of all the newest entries to the Zelda games take place in the Downfall Timeline because that is the timeline in which stuff can actually happen.
@@Sarah_H Sarah you've said MANY accurate things in many threads relating to the Zelda Lore and i've liked them all 👍 but this is the _one thing_ that i have to utterly *DISAGREE* with you due to the convoluted and downright incoherent implications that it brings suggesting a man can be his OWN DESCENDANT/ANCESTOR and talk to himself at the SAME TIME. This is Futurama logic as far as i'm concerned so sorry Sarah i simply do NOT BUY IT.
@@goldliger1976 This doesn't make any sense considering the _official_ timeline established by Nintendo since 2011. Good luck next time.
I need the 4th regional disturbance walk through.
When are you going to continue your let’s play of tears of the kingdom
When are you going to finish tears of the kingdom?
He’s coming back this week hopefully tomorrow
Yes I like the new direction for the Zelda series
Oh wow cool!!!!
What if breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom takes place in the timeline that the original link defeated demise and that’s why we don’t see the triforce,and why we have the zonai, they are the people that hylia sent to the sky and evolved the triforce was never found because the first hero never had to find it because Demise was never really and obstacle so they made the zonai stones then over time since they forgot where the clues to the triforce it is forgotten and the first goddess statue casually fell to the ground overtime that’s why the temple is forgotten it was never really needed in that time line other than to house the master sword and the gate of time but since the one who used it had gone back to his time whole new time shenanigans because doesn’t the first link leave his sword in the past and in this time line there would be three because it can’t just pops back in to the correct time line unless it can then time would be meaning less to the blade but what I am meaning is that we should have the goddess sword in this time along with a master sword from the first link the blade that tears link uses on ganondwarf in this timeline so in this time line all the games took place but in different order than they were supposed to and why the master sword so easily breaks the blades power is being split by three but it’s just a theory
To shorten it we don’t know if it’s all timelines at once we just know it’s canon to the Zelda timeline but it’s a new era rebuilt version of hyrual. So yes it canon
I like to think of the timeline as similar to the Never-ending Story. Since the several titles that started the LoZ were never intended to be in a timeline.
Are you gonna continue your totk lets play
Cool❤
Yeah but think about it like this: Why were the Shieka who were there for the ROYAL family of Hyrule since it's original inception(post Skyward Sword) not be there to protect Queen Sonia? A lot of people tend to forget that in Zelda 2 The Adventure of Link, there were TWO count them TWO Princess Zeldas existing at the same time. The one who is the actual inheritor of the Goddess Hylias bloodline and the descendant of that Zelda's brother.
We do know that when it comes to inheritance of a Goddess' powers/bloodline it all is firstly given to the first born DAUGHTER. That is why the Kings of Hyrule(those that are named anyways) always have different paternal names followed by the Hyrule second last name. It means that they are married into Royalty rather than being BORN Royalty like the Prince from Zelda 2's backstory.
While Sonia says that Zelda and her share a blood connection it isn't what we are lead to believe at all. Tell me to anyone here, without using headcanons or other people's headcanons, did King Rauru and Queen Sonia ever had a son or daughter?
To me, the answer is a big fat NO.
Why you may ask? It is simple. King Rauru never mentioned the devastating effects this would have on a child at all in any of the cutscenes we see of him especially after Queen Sonia was murdered by Ganondorf.
So what you may be asking is "Then how does the Royal Family of Hyrule still exist to this day?"
The answer is via the actual blood descendant of the Goddess Hylia reincarnated form. The descendants of the Sleeping Princess from Zelda 2 The Adventure of Link. The Shiekah would obviously only serve those that are directly tied to the Goddess' Hylia's direct bloodline.
Sonia isn't directly tied to that bloodline because of one thing that most players forgot to noticed at first glance. Sonia has ZERO LIGHT POWERS. All Direct Descendants of Goddess Hylia have Light Powers.
So with the lack of an heir mentioned, Shiekah protection and Light powers proves once and for all that Sonia is a descandant of Princess Zelda from the first Zelda game who is a descendant of the brother of the true inheritor of the Goddess' bloodline. Meaning Princess Zelda(BotW/TotK) is a direct descendant of the Sleeping Princess Zelda.
So yeah that is my observation that so far no one else has noticed so far about Queen Sonia's blood ties to the current Princess Zelda from BotW and TotK.
If anyone has any questions for me about my statements made here please ask away by replying to this post. Hope to help you all shine LIGHT(see what I did there lol) on this mystery.
The part about Sleeping Zelda being the "true ancestor" of BotW Zelda comes off convoluted given the lack of ANY other Royal Family in either of the timelines having to go through a similar scenario making me skeptical of this explanation for the Royal Family's existence in Breath of the Wild.
The part about Sonia NOT been Hylia's descendant is downright laughable considering the _Triforce symbols_ decorating her entire body making it very clear that yes SHE IS a descendant of Hylia by carrying the Triforce which her bloodline has *protected* over thousands of years across the ages since the times of Skyward Sword. One of the Stone Tablets in the sky islands refer to Sonia as a "Priestess of Hylia" which further aknowledge her as a descendant of her Grace carrying her duty in her name in her Era as the current descendant tasked with the protection of the Land leading to her and Rauru's creation of the Shrines and Lightroots to protect the world from the rising increase of monsters caused by Ganondorf's birth in her Era.
You really need to watch some Zeldatubers for they've made it quite clear that Sonia is Hylia's descendant just as her successor from Breath of the Wild.
Rauru and Sonia have a child that just isn't shown on-screen, this is evident in the fact that not only does the royal family exist but some sort of Zonai-Hylian hybrid race also existed for some time after the true Zonai's extinction, additionally the part about powers and daughters is no longer true as of Breath of the Wild, since King Rhoam is the bloodline carrier and also has his own very impressive magical abilities, being able to live as a Force Ghost for 100+ years after his death and physically interacting with the world
@@cm3368 Just because she has a "bloodline descendant" ties with Zelda doesn't mean that Zelda is a descendant of HER family line. If you played the Downfall Timeline game Zelda 2 there are two Princess Zeldas meaning a split in the Royal Family line. The one with the Goddess direct bloodline and the one descendant of the brother(the prince).
Meaning that with the lack of the Shiekah race that is supposed to PROTECT the bloodline of the Goddess Hylia it means that they were outside of Hyrule protecting the ACTUAL Goddess bloodline descendant of Hylia.
The proof of this is Sonia not having the Triforce within her.
@@cm3368 ¿How do you *know* that Rhoam is Hylia's descendant and not his wife the queen? ¿Did you forget the memory where Zelda mentions her _grandmother_ stating the "Sealing Power" (the Triforce) can *only* be used by the _female members_ of the Royal Family suggesting Hylia's bloodline to be made mostly of WOMEN who carry her blood across the Ages? That ONLY WOMEN are able to wield the Sealing Power with Rhoam never even suggesting his ability to use it makes it very clear that it's the *QUEEN* who's bloodline ties to Hylia.
@@goldliger1976 FANFICTION ladies and gentlemen ☝️ for your pity and enjoyment.
If you think about all other previous LoZ games were linnier in nature going dungeon to dungeon. They really needed to separate BotW and TotK apart because now it is open world and the rule have all changed but has kept the fundamental formal.
Please tell me you are going to continue tears of the kingdom let’s play
As much as I enjoyed TOTK story what really frustrates to me is that there may be no DLC explanation; leaving us missing key pieces with plenty of potential to add into this game. And so many plot holes that needs to be fill up.
One of which is the lack of Ganondorf’s backstory. I wanna see what his life is like before he became the Gerudo king. And have Twinrova as a new boss so his story will come to a complete full circle.
Another is the whereabouts of Kass. We all love the musician from Breath of the Wild and fans really love this NPC. Plus, he has given us tips to inform Link that Princess Zelda that she loves her appointed knight. But he is out to another region outside of Hyrule in Tears of the kingdom, and the only ones we know are his students. Players have been complaining about this since he excluded from Tears of the Kingdom, and they have been begging to Nintendo to bring him back.
And lastly, the Ancient Hero since we have only have the aspect when completing all the shrines and dungeons. What race is he from if he is not a Zonai? Is he a blend of Hylian-Gerudo and Zonai? Those are burning questions I can’t get over with.
anyone got a link to the interview?
I don't think the ancient hero was a zonai, the two share too many differences. I don't think the zonai have tails, and also their hair is usually white, not dark red. The ancient hero must have been some new race or atleast an evolution or far far descendant of the zonai
The Ancient Hero is more than likely a different _breed_ of Zonai hence the similar _arms_ to Rauru and Mineru despite having a lion like red mane and a tail. It's possible that he might lived in the Depths as a member of the "barbarian Zonai" tribe as suggested by the many Colosseums spread across the Depths.
@@javiervasquez625 I was just thinking about the possibility of him coming from the zonai ruins. As we know, the ruins are different from the actual zonai architecture in the sky and in the depths, and he does have similar hair to the hair on the barbarian armor that’s found in the labyrinths in botw. I’m not sure though, I don’t know enough about it to actually say if that’s a good theory or not
The thing is that we have only seen two Zonai and they were siblings. Whos to say what the other race of the Zonai look like.
I would like to see Vaati return.
6:48 I mean this was answered in the game, Sonia said that Zelda held her time power and Rauru's light power inside her and she implied she is blood related to them. So clearly they had descendants, that's way too obvious, not because we don't see them doesn't mean they don't exist, otherwise Zelda wouldn't be alive.
What could have happened to the reincarnation of Ganondorf during Spirit Tracks? Also, what if the reason we don’t see a version of Link and Zelda is the founding of new Hyrule is because their reincarnations are elsewhere?
A iteration of link and zelda was simply not needed during the founding of hyrule. They only reincarnate when the world needs them.
Sonia was not a reincarnation of hylia. She is simply decended from skyward sword zelda and the ancestor to the royal family of present day zelda.
I want to see Demise in the next game, and time travel at the players request for puzzle solving.
SPOILER WARNING!!!
I believe it has to be the case that Sonia and Rauru had children, if for no other reason than that Sonia mentions that she can feel her time powers, Rauru's light, and a familial connection between them. The only way that makes sense, then, is that Zelda is directly descended from the two.
I wonder why the time-line is so important. Each game is a masterpiece in itself, and to fret about where it fits in with the other games diminishes it's uniqueness.
Personally, I believe the triforce is in Zelda but even she doesn't know what it actually is.
W video
Hey I found a rom hack for a link to the past called a link to the islands
It can't it would create major plotholes where was the light dragon in breath of the wild
How can the ancient hero be a descendant of Rauru and Sonia if they rebuilt Hyrule thousands of years after his death?
I thought the same thing.
What about the original timelines being merged and broken out of existence and being rebuilt back to existence from a clean slate by some events similar to Mortal Kombat 11?
This aged well
So you're telling me those previous legend of Zelda game doesn't have a connection to BOTW timeline?tbh I don't mind tho
8:40 You're not slick
Hoping the hybrid hero opens the door to being able to choose your race in the next game
I got questions if Nintendo is going in new path in the series will the twilight princess midan return in a future game?? Even though the mirror is broken.
ik totk is the goat game and nintendo doesn’t feel like it needs a dlc, at the very least i want them to stop patching all the essentially windbombing and construct factory railing glitches. just those ones tho the duplication glitches can stay banned
there is a problem with the dev team's explanation is that the master sword does not exist in raruru's hyrule
Why is nobody else saying this? Like where was the master sword there.
I mean...it was most likely in its pedestal in Korok Forest. The NPCs in BotW and TotK talk about "the legendary sword" being hidden away "deep in a forest", so it's been in the forest long enough for its location to become legend (and in The Master Sword's Power memory, we learn that the pedestal restores the sword, so it was probably left there by the Ancient Hero who formerly wielded it to be restored and to await the arrival of the next Hero, who was Link, who according to the Zelda Wiki pulled the Master Sword from the pedestal in the forest when he was twelve or thirteen years old)
Isn't that kind of BS though? There's references for the previous games everywhere. Not just in the names of places, but Mipha directly references Ruto, so how can that history be lost?
I like it I just wish that breath of the wild was never made now and tears of the kingdom was the first of this Era
If only we can see more of Zelda’s adventures in the Distant Past in dlc since Tears of the Kingdom had divided two two separate stories.😔
I feel Fujibayashi and Aonuma had made a huge mistake in canceling that plan when there is plenty of room to tell more when Zelda Saids says 'I have so much to tell you, so much happened!' 🤦♂️
… oh how much I long to have you as a playable character and to hear more of your story, Princess. 😭
Dang bruh. 😂 where's the spoiler warning. I have not played totk yet.
👍🏻☺️💚✨💙✨
When Light Dragon comes to aid Link in the final battle, my first thought was “did she come back and maybe draconification hasn’t removed everything that is Zelda?” I believed it is her love for her knight is what drove her dragon instinct/consciousness in saving Link from falling and aiding him against the Draconified Demon King. We all seen that when her powers were activated when the one she loves is threaten in Breath of the Wild. And it is not friendship love as she did with the Champions. It is a romantic love.
I see what you've done at 8.40...
They mind as well say "fuck it" and reboot the entire Zelda timeline. This current timeline is a clusterfuck as it is.
anybody else want to see a Zelda (or Nintendo) multiverse.
(oh, wait that's Super Smash bros)
Ok
How you know
@@An_Evangelist_Who_Loves_Jesus He keeps saying "Ok" in every Zelda related video so don't bother replying he won't say anything.
What about TotK old Hyrule predates Skyward Sword. Hylians looked different, nobody heard about the Master Sword and the most obvious... WHERE WHERE THE ZONAI?!?
No Rauru´s Hyrule can´t predate Skyward sword there is to many contradictions and most likely his Hyrule is after every Zelda game except Botw.
Nintendo said Zelink is not canon and people stated the current incarnations of Link x Zelda are not romantically involved. Since I have played in both BOTW and TOTK, I refuse to believe any of them. So is what I break down the evidences that Link and Princess Zelda do love each other as it's very mutual and they're more special to me than anyone thinks:
- King Rhoam assigning “HIM” as her appointed knight in in the first entry of Zelda’s diary
- She is the only person that helps her Appointed Knight and Hero to be more opened to her as seen in Zelda’s diary entry in BOTW; explaining why he felt necessary to remain silent because with so much at stake and too many eyes upon him.
- After the Calamity emerges beneath Hyrule Castle and nearly 80% of the land’s population is nearby wiped out, Link is gravely wounded defending his princess. She jumps in front of Link which activates her sealing powers.
In the Champion’s Ballad DLC, Kass hints Zelda’s love for Link at the very last song. Read this lyric here: 🎵 “The princess's love for her fallen knight awakens her power / And within the castle the Calamity is forced to cower. But the knight survives! In the Shrine of Resurrection he sleeps, until from his healing dream he leaps! For fierce and deadly trials await. To regain his strength. To fulfill his fate. To become a hero once again! To wrest the princess from evil's den. The hero, the princess-hand in hand-Must bring the light back to this land.” 🎵
- Petals of the Silent Princess flowers represent their endless love as Bolton has mentioned after the Terry Town side quest.
- In memory 8 of the Dragon Tears, Zelda tells Rauru her description of Link as well as her fondness of her knight/hero/lover. Her ancestors acted like the kind of parents who would be interested in meeting their daughter’s boyfriend and hoping to put Link’s mind at ease.
- Before the pair set out to investigate the glooms beneath Hyrule Castle, Zelda was about to surprise Link with the newly improved Champion’s Tunic.
- Both become teachers in Zelda’s School to educate a new generation of Hylians in Hateno Village with the assistant of Symin (since they saw themselves through them).
- I’m not sure what the Japanese version is like, it claims that it is their home while the western called Link’s formal home “Zelda’s House”.
- When Sidon said “I’m sorry, but we have yet to find your princess“ in either before or after you completed the Water Temple mission, this may implied that he is aware of their relationship.
- A scene you get of Link surrounded by the silent princess flowers, a flower field where there are princess flowers and blue nightshade side-by-side, an npc implying married couples by dream homes, that dream home having a study and silent princesses nearby.
- After completing the side quest in Lurelin Village, NPC tells Link about the couple’s secret visit at the Lover’s Pond (meaning Zelda visits there with Link accompanying her)
- While the original Western version of Tears of the Kingdom calls this side quest “Potential Princess Sightings”, Link calls her "my sweet princess" in the Japanese quest log version
- in the final boss battle, Light Dragon (Zelda) comes to save and aids Link against Draconified Ganondorf which could mean not all of her is lost. Zelda’s love for Link could be explained by her dragon instinct.
-Zelda’s dragonification is reversed when Rauru’s light power and Sonia’s time power channeling through Link. The reason why it happened was because they required Link’s stronger motives. And we have seen that before in BOTW where Zelda’s motives to save Link triggered her Light powers. It was love.
- The entire goal of the game from the start isn't even "Kill Ganondorf". It is to "Find Princess Zelda" and that is only completed by Link by catching the real Zelda.
- Link held on to her tightly as they landed on a lake. Upon being woken after being asleep for hundreds of thousands of years, Zelda can describe it as “a warm, loving embrace”.
- When Zelda said “ Link ,I’m home”, I believe it is not just she really returned to the Hyrule she belongs to. But Link is her home. In Japanese however, Zelda said this: "ただいま... リンク" (pronounced as I'm home Link). These words depicts that is either someone close to family or a person you shared space with (aka lover). This hints that Link and Zelda are indeed lovers.
- Mineru Theorized that reversing Zelda’s Draconification requires Sonia’s Time power and Rauru’s Light Power to be channeled through Link’s arm; but activating magic is also in need of strong motive. That is when Zelda smiles at her knight knowing how much his princess means to him.
- In comparing the two secret endings, Link runs up to Zelda in Breath of the Wild while he walks proudly as he is showing his composure among his friends approaching Zelda. While she has shown a lot of love and care for the people of Hyrule, Princess Zelda’s true love is for Link and only the player can see the two of them in love.
My hope for the sequel of Tears of the Kingdom is that their relationship grow even further that we may get to see them become new rulers of Hyrule. Even though Nintendo will refuse to admit it.
Sages have been around on zelda for decades and they had inherent powers. Nothing new.
Are you able to continue uploading your videos for TOTK let's play?
Right after Breath of the Wild.
Saved ya some time.
Nah bruh. Zelda used triforce power in botw. And the reason Ganondorf is so unstoppable with sonia's sacred stone is because he still has access to the triforce of power and the stones enhance the power they already have. Otherwise he would have been equal power the rest of them that held stones. Link obviously has the triforce of courage. I mean look at him lol
That interview basically states that the known timeline could be wrong after all. which might mean there is no split
Nintendo try to make a consistent Zelda timeline, IMPOSSIBLE
So are they taking the Final Fantasy approach?
Not really the Era of the Wild simply takes place thousands of years AFTER the end of the 3 timelines collectively known as the _Era of Myth_ in the book Creating a Champion. The Wild duology is basically a *soft* reboot of the Zelda timeline which is why it doesn't directly connect to past games in the timeline.
7:43 correction, the Ganondorf in tears of the kingdom is completely different and not related to demise in any way, shape or form
He is a new _reincarnation_ of Ganondorf just like the one from Four Sword Adventures making him just as much related to the _Demon Tribe's curse_ (Demise is a "bunshin" in the japanese localization of Skyward Sword making him an EXTENSION of the Demon Tribe itself) as past incarnations of Ganondorf.
In short: Legend of Zelda is just another miraculous ladybug season
Please don't compare Zelda to Miraculous Ladybug that show's writing holds no candle to Zelda even if pigs flied in sky.
@@javiervasquez625 lol ok my bad
first
Im all for not following the timeline to create a fresh, unique, and beautiful story. The only issue was that the story was trash
In the timeline where Zelda never showed up, Ganon didn't take over by force. He married into the family and had a kid with mineru
Nah, he got m-preg by Rauru, that's why he's so jealous over a Hyrulean, pheh, WOMAN.
There is no timeline.
what bro waffling about
Sounds like Nintendo is subconsciously going Woke and rewriting Hylian history to be more inclusive 😆.
