I get that he wants to research it. But, the Yiga might also be interested in his findings.

I recall one theory as to why the Zora became the Rito in Wind Waker is that the Goddesses wanted to maintain a balance of power between the various races of Hyrule. The Zora remaining aquatic whilst Hyrule is entirely flooded would upset that balance, and so the Goddesses caused them to become the Rito.

I agree, it seems more like a divine transformation than a natural evolution. The Zora must have split, with some inhabiting the ocean depths and others staying on the surface and forsaking the waters.

The number of sea monsters and such in wind waker also substancially increased. I always took it as there's being evil in the waters so the Zora were forced to not keep going into the almost endlessly deep ocean due to the dangers in it, and were essentially forced out of the water by predators

Idea: Zora where in Wind Waker, but we never saw them because there's a LOT more under water then we every see.

@@MiningwithPudding true

one can only hope Marin was able to live her winged life to the fullest...

I dunno if you checked out the remake on Switch, but it’s very solid. Great way to revisit. Though I’m positive it was meant for 3DS and they sent it to switch to jack the price. It has that diorama-look that makes for amazing 3D effects.

@@bungalowfeuhler1541 I just finished the remake before I made that comment actually. Was a very great remake. I loved it.

And there's a theory that they could represent Zelda's 3 timeline as they all have evidence so the answer is basically yes

Lmao the “divine beast” prototype is a scrapped variant. Of the divine beasts. It is not supposed to be a whale like being. It is a manta ray. I thought everyone knew this lmao

@@PhantasticMrPhrog The ray was from the book art, the in the lab is a whale

Welp, turns out that the Eighth Heroine is actually the Eighth Hero, and it’s presumed that it might be one of the past Heroes (perhaps the Hero of Time).

@@apollosgadfly I was so disappointed in this "resolution". I honestly expected more.

@@keng4244 But completely expected for gerudo. Spoilers A man (voe) becoming a gerudo hero?! Nonsense! Turn him into a Vai! Later on and filled with regret, deletes hero from history. Ages later the legend of the missing 8th is born.

A year later and you basically got it spot on

Only issue with that is that the 8th Heroine is built into the mountain, it’s fused to the rock

Maybe you had what's called a panic moon? I'm not an expert on this, but from what I understand sometimes if the game gets too "stressed" it will freak out and start a blood moon randomly. The funniest thing is that this can happen in the middle of the day lol

I had that happen while hunting ice geese for their wings... for some reason. I ran through an area with a bunch of them and ice chu chu. Everytime I cleared the area and was about to leave the Blood Moon popped up, so I repeated the cycle until I had all the wings I wanted. I didn't even do it on purpose, the game just kind of decided to make my task much easier. My best guess, is killing all the enemies and causing all the drops in a short period of time forced the game to garbage collect the memory.

yep! i have a few ideas planned for that theory video- hopefully releasing before TotK!

cheers! thank you so much!

In the past month I've bought more games for my switch than I have in the three years I had access to a switch, I've literally have bought 20 games through sales to hold me over so I go into totk with as little knowledge of the game until I get it, same as you may 12 can not get here fast enough

That’s once a month.

@@wajmgirl I mean we don't know the menstrual cycles of the hylian women, maybe they have weekly periods

Joy, sexism in KZfaq. My favorite.

@@jaythesiren how is this sexism? Women have a menstrual cycle, thats just a fact.

@@wajmgirl The blood moon is also always a full moon. So perhaps we just see it as 7 in game days so you wouldn't have to play really long to even see one blood moon? Like I mostly had one or two a session so I'd only see it every second or even fourth session playing.

thank u! ☺️

Are you planning on trying out a Zelda game soon? You definitely should!

@@zeonmoo192 Kind of feeling my age now, don't seem to be able to rewire my brain like I used to. Older games have a familiarity about them that's quite comforting.

Some theories state that maybe it's because the sea got infested with sea monsters, which would be an obstacle to building a proper society under water

it was explained... it's not natural evolution, it was specifically done by the gods to keep them from rediscovering Hyrule.

@@keiyakins where?

I'd love it if TOTK featured a timestone-like mechanic. Maybe it could tie in with the Recall ability. We could see many places on the map as they were at various times throughout Hyrule's history. (I initial thought that would be the main way they would change up the map, but it seems they went vertical.) The Forgotten Temple. The Leviathans themselves (similar to the dead dragon in Lanayru in Skyward Sword), or as you said, the Twili. Arbirter's Ground is buried in sand in BOTW, but maybe we could see it in a time when the mirror was still being used. It could be one of the game's dungeons. Maybe Link uses the mirror and meets Midna. I already have a feeling we'll see Fi again. Link seems to carry something on his hip that resembles the spirit vessel. This game will likely take themes from TP. As well as SS obviously with the sky islands.

I like the Twili but the descriptions of the Zonai to are more physical in nature. I think the Zonai could have been a Kingdom that included then however.

thank you! and will do!

Although that would make alot of sence, Nintendo conformed that btow takes place after oot. (Nintendo, why!?)

@@Gyashonav well the alternate timeline from SS would have OOT as one of its fixed points like Twilight and WW given that if played out right a single timeline could be formed with twilight happening before WW where the loss of the hero after Twilight could have cause the flooding. the areas in twilight could be various areas in WW. cause the story of WW is that the hero disappeared and didnt return. OOT link after returning to cause ganon to be sealed away before the events could have become the Stalfos in Twilight teaching the Twilight link who could have disappeared due to the influence of the twilight magic upon him and the ability to go between the physical and spiritual realm. due to that the hero would have disappeared and when ganondorf returned there would be no hero and thus the flooding. with BOTW taking place centuries after there would be a posibility of hidden zora sealed away in their domain plus links awakening could take place after the flood but well before WW started. allowing for the account of the three leviathan skeletons from three different timelines but the one we followed before BOTW was the main split in which demise was defeated in the future. in SS he was essentially resealed in the past/ squashed by the goddess statue which could equate to the forgotten temple as demise's curse happened in a timeline that he had been freed from a normal seal but crossed through time possibly effecting the past version of his squashed self....i mean thats just my thought process since i always saw SS and OOT as fixed points in the entire timeline due to both being the only ones with time jumping mechanics. so technically even in the alternate SS , BOTW would still be after OOT by thousands of years and with the interwoven narrative of semi alternate events could account for all the inclusions from other timelines. cause the zonai are not prominant in any timeline but their style of stuff and the advance mechanics of sheika are similar to the tech in SS and one of the Bosses in the Minish cap/WW gods tower boss. sorry for how long this is

These things load and unload as you move through the map.

@@LainK1978 But that would mean storing that data somewhere either in cached memory or written to non-volatile storage which the latter sounds like a terrible idea for performance reasons and wasteful writes to some kind of NAND storage. The trade-off is happening somewhere and it's more likely to be the former which means the blood moon sequence would be a good opportunity to reset default flags held in memory to avoid memory leaks.

the false bloodmoon and the zonai tribe + things about the typhlo ruins were answered tho you can actively force false bloodmoons really easy by lagging the game so it is a fact that its a safe switch to reduce lag. and the typhlo ruins arent zonai made but hylian made.

@@way2dawn853 false bloodmoon absolutely was not answered by totk lmao. it's just a game mechanic. i will give you that the typhlo ruins was answered tho lol, i forgot about that one

@@pinkcatminht you even answered it yourself "Its just a mechanic" Yes exactly. Its just a mechanic for reducing lag lmao. Theres no story part. Noone ever talks about it ingame and we exactly know why, how and when it happens. So whats not clear about it?

@@way2dawn853 i didn't say it wasnt clear, i said it wasnt explained in-game, which is a true statement lol

@@pinkcatminht yes because its never mentioned ingame So why would it be explained ingame Doesnt make ANY sense Like saving and loading the game doesnt get explained ingame too

6 sages and Zelda's the seventh. It was a reference to Link to the Past having the Seven Sage's descendants, one being Zelda. Link Between Worlds seems to add an eighth though.
