"mipha is ded, link cant have have relationships with a dead fish, so zelda wins, end"

"How did Link lose his memory?" I... I'm sure dying had something to do with it.

Given that Link was THE most skilled knight in the kingdom. He would presumably have muscle memory.

“Seizures, strokes and cardiac arrest. The thing that LINKS all of this together is blood loss” Oof the unexpected pun

While I agree with everything about retrograde amnesia, anterograde amnesia is way too inconvinient for the plot and it doesn't add up. Supposedly, Link is on a journey to recover his previous memories, without the ability to create new memories, the whole quest ends up as a pointless effort. For a great example of how anterograde amnesia works, the movie Memento is excellent

-The Protagonist (Zelda) Finally, a good theory

4:45 um...I’m just gonna ignore that picture

A great video, and I completely agree with the part about retrograde amnesia! However, I don't believe Link has anterograde amneise, for the simple fact that once the game begins, YOU, the player, are responsible for all memories created during the course of the game. The game doesn't rely on Link's memory for anything, it relies on your memory, as well as your decision making, skills, and reactions. More or less, The Legend of Zelda has always been about your adventure, just in Link's body.

Wait... what did I just watch again? Oh cool. A new Zelda video I haven't seen before. Can't wait to see what's in today's episode.

Thumbnail: FORGETS EVERYTHING! twin memories shrines: imma bouta end this mans hole career

This is why your channel is the best, your vids or not only funny... but also interesting. I’m laughing really hard after watching the end, thanks again for the AMAZING content!!! This is something I want to remember. I loved it!!

Full retrograde sure, but full anterograde, probably not. You forgot something in this. How can link cook if he has anterograde amnesia? He is constantly able to come up with recipes that are not stored in the slate. If he really had anterograde amnesia, cooking would be nearly impossible, and cooking detailed dishes would be impossible. He can cook pretty much any dish with no issue at all. Just adding to that, There is also partial amnesia, both retrograde and anterograde. Another feature overlooked is cellular memory, and how that can jump-start memories and even provide skills and memories to people who had organ donations. Link likely has partial anterograde amnesia, but not of the permanent variety. The king was not training him, simply causing him to use his mind. That brings me to the next step. Recovery from partial anterograde amnesia is possible, though time consuming. Solving puzzles with multiple solutions possible and problem solving are ways to treat partial anterograde amnesia. The more link does it, the better the state of his memory, and the faster his recovery.

Like the content, but anterograde amnesia part doesn't have me convinced. When talking to the great fairy in gerudo desert. She says she can read your mind, and then talks about your eagerness to upgrade your clothing. Pretty hard to do if you don't ever remember doing it in the past.

“Link can’t have romantic relationships with a dead fish, so Zelda wins.” 😂

Another amazing theory dude!!!! I never even thought of this subject before, so I'm glad that you were able to explain it so well!!!! I really do appreciate all of the work you put into your videos too!! 😄

Good research and interesting theories. I'm a little bothered that you so casually discarded the idea that the Shrine of Resurrection could have caused the amnesia by stating that the shrine had been untested, so nobody could know its effects until it was actually used. Remember that somebody built this for a purpose. It used a technology that those clever Shieka technologists understood well enough to successfully heal an about-to-be-dead (or maybe even fully dead) Link, taking 100 year to do it. First of all, how do you know that it's untested? It was probably built 10,000 years ago, when the Shiekas were busy making everybody happy with amazing tech. If it takes 100 years to work, and it only has room for one person in it, maybe it's been used up to 99 times before. Maybe it only gets used for really important people, since whoever gets it uses up the one slot for this purpose for the next 100 years. I mean, it would be a real shame to die, be put in the shrine and then after 90 years, have someone chuck you out to die because someone more important needs it, right? They'd have to be really sure you were worth it. So, I think your idea that the Shrine of Resurrection was untested is... [wait for it...] ... untested. Maybe they knew that the side effect of this device would be loss of memory from one of those other 99 guys who had used it before. Or maybe they simply understood the tech enough to know what it does to the brain. Maybe the guy who crawled out of the tank wasn't really Link. Maybe it's a clone of Link, with Link's memories fully restored... but all the ... links (so to speak)... to those memories had evaporated. American political history has taught us about the "known unknowns", and the "unknown unknowns", but maybe his memories are "unknown knowns". This second point is that there are two different kinds of "lost memories". A memory can be lost because it is "erased" -- recorded in a specific location where the medium was damaged or reused. This is not the case for Link, since that kind of memory loss is permanent. The other kind of memory loss is a failure of memory retrieval. The memory may still be there, but the mysterious retrieval function of the brain that modern science doesn't come anywhere near understanding fails. A new pathway to the old memory needs to be built. That's where remnant threads, like a smell or a photograph, or the full sensations of visiting a place may bring about retrieval of the memory. I was in a car crash when I was 9 (54 years ago). Head on collision, police estimates each car doing about 45mph. I was the only person in either car not hospitalized for a couple months. My memories of the event are edited with surgical precision. I had been laying down in the back seat, asleep. I remember awakening in a vivid moment of extreme slow motion, pulled by extreme G forces forward, sliding across the very red, very realisticly tactile vinyl upholstery of the seat. Then poof. No memory. Then I remember laying on the seat again, looking forward. I vividly remember everything out to the edge of of the seat. Everything else is gone. I know I saw my mother and sister, with their heads tilted back on the top of the front seat, faces bleeding. People tell me that's how we were until the paramedics showed up and pulled us out of the car, but that memory is gone. I remember the passage of time and the safe visions of the seat I was laying on and all the sensations including drooling on the seat, pulled in spots by clothing, blood clotting in my hair, amid stiff hair dressing, but the Universe ended at the edge of the seat for me, until a doorway appeared, when an off-duty nurse opened the door and leaned in to assess my injuries (scratches and bruises, nothing broken or seriously cut). I remember that as they pulled me out of the car, sliding me onto the stretcher, the sunlight hit me in the face, and I turned away from it and looked at the two cars, mashed into each other. I remember myself looking at the cars, but I have no mental image of the two cars. I couldn't even recall what color the other car was. Someone told me it was white. I still don't remember it. I know I still have those memories. They are simply inaccessible to me. I'm emotionally protected from them. I'm happy to leave it that way. When I was in high school, and had to watch those stupid driving safety videos, nothing bothered me, except that when they played the crash sounds, there was a peculiar sound of bending metal that one doesn't hear in normal life, and that sound violently terrified me. I could not remain in the room. I ran for my life. It took quite a while to calm down. I can hear it now without that response, but the intensity of the original response was quite a surprise. So, the thread is still there. It's not cut. My mind simply won't allow me to follow it. So, the mechanism disrupting Link's mental process of memory retrieval could be any of many possibilities. Maybe it's emotional trauma. Maybe it's physical trauma. Maybe it's a side effect of medical treatment. I've had conversations for several hours with people in the hospital on morphine. A side effect of the drug is total loss of memories of the conversation. The best description one of them gave me was "Everything during that time is blurred together in a confusing stream." She honestly didn't remember me visiting her in the hospital at all, though I was there all day for a couple days, and we went on walks together down the hall while she wheeled her morphine drip along with her. Who knows what drugs Link may have been soaking in. So, I'm okay accepting that the king, who died 100 years ago, already had experience or had heard or read others describing experience that the Shrine of Ressurection causes temporary amnesia, and once Link is not soaking in medical fluids, he can form new memories and with the right hint, become reunited with older memories. What interests me is that in the game, it's easy for game designers to start us out with amnesia. All they have to do is make us become a character and not tell us the story of how the character got here. No backstory = amnesia. And then we form new memories with the character, and through flashbacks, we regain memories previously lost. All we're doing here is using story mechanisms to make us empathize with Link. We are not separated from Link by him having memories we don't have. We are together with him, lacking access to earlier memories. We regain those memories together with him. Link can't remember stuff. We're okay with that because we don't remember those same things, so we can be there as Link while he doesn't remember stuff we also don't remember. Link and Player One can gain new memories together, and Link and Player One can have a flashback together and regain old memories. It works. It helps us willingly suspend our disbelief that we are Link.

I don't claim to be an expert in amnesia, so let's just go with the information in this video to poke a few holes I noticed while watching it. Link might, in fact, have amnesia (possibly caused by the resurrection shrine), but within the first 2 minutes or so of this video, one of the cases for him having anmesia is stated ... fatigue and blood loss. As we see in the scene in the game where Zelda finally unlocks her sealing power, Link is barely able to stand, meaning he has been put through the ringer, and been chased by enemy after enemy after being wounded by Ganon until he is exhausted (and most likely losing blood due to the injury ... but they can't show blood because ... Zelda game), and barely able to stand, as we see in the cutscene from the memory mentioned above. Also, were there any specific dates or times given as to when the shrine of resurrection was found and the time of Calamity Ganon's attack? No, there weren't. So how can you possibly say that they haven't tested the shrine? Testing it would be the only way that Zelda would know about the shrine's drawback (affecting its resident's memory). Besides, do you really think that there were only those few Shika or other Hylians who were shown working with the Guardians that were handling everything regarding the ancient Sheikah technology that they were excavating? Highly doubtful, especially with as much of the technology that was shown unearthed during the game. It's more likely that there were at least several teams working on various projects and excavations during that time, which would mean that there were also teams that would test those pieces of technology out (just like they were testing out how to control the Guardians in the memory that is found at Hyrule Castle near Zelda's Diary ... the one where the king scolds Zelda for wasting her time on the Sheikah tech and not trying to access her sealing power). Link doesn't suffer from anterograde amnesia. You said it yourself. It's the inability to create new memories. If that were the case, then why would he remember how to activate the shrines? Or who to return to when a side quest was completed? To say nothing that a century of little to no oxygen being present in the shrine would most likely kill him while he was recovering ... kinda counterproductive if you ask me. And, if he did have anterograde amnesia, he wouldn't have been able to recall anything prior to his being placed in the Shrine of Resurrection without help from the Sheikah Slate. If that's the case, then why is he able to remember the other 4 Champions during the game. He wasn't using his Sheikah Slate during those memories. Plus ... come on ... oxygen deprivation? Was there a rush of air coming into the resurrection shrine (or any of the others, for that matter) when they were opened? No, there wasn't. Not one single instance is there a rush of air going into any of the shrines at any time, which means that none of them were air tight. So there is no oxygen deprivation. There is proof that there is no lack of oxygen inside the resurrection shrine within the first 1 minute 5 seconds of the game. When Zelda is calling out to Link to wake up, we are shown that Link's face is not submerged in the shallow pool of liquid he is laying in BEFORE the liquid begins to drain away. Also, if the shrine was air tight, he'd suffocate because of that. The Resurrection Shrine isn't that big, and certainly not large enough to contain 100 years of air for Link to breathe, even with the reduced air intake that occurs while someone is sleeping ... so then, why bother keeping his mouth and nose out of the liquid? It makes no logical sense to waste the time with the just enough liquid in that pool to leave his face uncovered only to have him run out of air. Another thing ... there was NEVER a mention of Purah finding the runes Link uses during the game after Ganon attacked. She simply stated that some of the runes were not activated, and that the Sheikah Slate basically needed to a re-install of its sofware, or it needed to have its software repaired because the runes that are unlocked at Purah's place had become corrupted over time, requiring her to restore, or repair the data that still existed in the Sheikah Slate in the first place (besides, Zelda was using the camera function (one of the runes Purah unlocks for Link in the game) in one of Link's memories (when she talks about the Silent Princess flower), so what makes you think that the runes weren't discovered until after Ganon's attack?) I know this is just a theory, but it's a poorly researched one. I don't pretend to be some sort of master theorist, but from what I saw in the video, and what I've seen and experienced in the game (several times), this theory leaves out a lot of information that could have made it go another way. I don't mean to sound rude, or disrespectful, or anything like that ... and please don't take any of this the wrong way ... but, next time it might be a good idea to look at all of the facts (play the game yourself, or watch the game being played by someone else) to make sure you have all of the information before making a theory that has this many holes in it.

There's no evidence to suggest that the Sheikah Slate even has a note-taking function. Also if Link truly had Anterograde Amnesia, he wouldn't be able to remember what the different Runes do, or that he has access to Revali’s Gale, Urbosa’s Fury, or Daruk’s Protection, all three of which require activation of some sort and this can not be used if the user is unaware they have these abilities. We also know things like the Quests tab in the inventory are for the player’s sake and not written down by Link to help him remember because of the usage of the pronoun ”you”. If it was Link writing these things, we would see “I” in its place. Also other notes written in the items section of the inventory mention things that weren't told to us, like Mipha’s skill with a spear as described in the Lightscale Trident description

I laughed at the dead fish part. That was golden. Then I heard the Malo Mart Theme. And I had to pause a second...

Wait I just figured something out.. listen please So we all know link was mute before the calamity and the only person her spoke to was Zelda. Hear me out. After the calamity and his coma, he came out with amnesia. Keep that in mind. Before the calamity he was mute because he was stressed with all the eyes on him. After the calamity with amnesia, he forgot why he was mute. He forgot about the eyes on him, and the stress, so he went back to talking to everyone. Which is why you can see all those talkative dialogue options after the calamity. Because he forgot about his stress before the calamity! So it is confirmed that yes, Zelda was the only person he spoke to before the incident. But afterwards with his amnesia, he spoke to everybody cause he forgot about all the eyes on him. I feel so smart right now. I just pray he sees this

The amnesia aspect was my favorite feature of the story. I felt more connected with this Link than in any other Zelda game. I felt like I was the one recovering memories because of my knowledge of LoZ lore; the "Easter eggs" gave me the impression that I had been in the land before but had lost my memories. I had so much fun discovering all of the references and wondering about the stories behind ruins around the world (especially Fort Hateno).

UH... why do I think I've seen this before...?

Awesome! New Zelda Theory video. Hmmm.. Why's it feel like I've seen this vid 100 times already? Oh well. Guess I'll just watch it.

I know I'm a little late to the party, but there was something regarding your Anterograde amnesia theory that I wanted to say. In my opinion there is concrete proof that at the very least might make you think twice about your theory. This proof is the quest called "Zora Stone Monuments". In this quest Link is asked by a Zora named Jiahto to visit ten stone monuments scattered around the Zora Domain and report back to him what they say so that he can compile them into one book for future generations to read. During this quest there is no evidence that Link ever writes down what each monument says. (It's possible I'm wrong though.) After he visits each monument he returns to talk with Jiahto and the quest is completed. It seems that if Link does have Anterograde amnesia then he wouldn't be able to complete this quest. Those are just my thoughts though. Great video as always!

6:40 The thing that *Link’s* these things together. How’d you miss that!

0:50 alright, look...

Shout outs to my favorite game of all time Explorers of Sky. Such a good story, such a good soundtrack, and SUCH A GOOD GAME I LOVE IT

1:51 the protagonist (aka Zelda, obviously)

bro he knows how to do it because of MUSCLE MEMORY Edit: omg! my first likes! and furthermore on this, if his muscles do forget after a while, he will have learned how to use a weapon

It would be so cool to do a Game Theory collaboration! That would be my two favorite theory worlds collide, which would be pretty fun.

Ah the nostalgia with the music from pokemon mystery dungeon thank you

One vid about physics, now one about medicine. Sir, you are nominate to a Nobel prize!

0:48 I actually hate you so much XD

Yaaay another NBC theory!! Also I would love to see a part two of the ridgeland fall vid 😊

This is really good content, the editing and production values have increased twentyfold since your first few vids, and twofold since your last one. As to the theory, I respectfully disagree. Link lost his memory because he dies. It's understated in the last memory, making the player believe he is simply going unconscious. That final, understated, simple look he gives Zelda before closing his eyes is him telling her that he cares for her--not love, but care. Since the spirit of the chosen hero would be a little more difficult to kill than a normal person, it takes a while for link to fully die, which is why the sheikah warriors had time to get link to the Chamber. Zelda knew, as she looked into Link's eyes, that he had died, and that's why she knew that his memory would be wiped--Link's body was dead, but his soul was hanging on for a little while longer. Even so, you deserve way more subs than 58k. At least 100k.

More on the amnesia topic, man this is getting more interesting by the second! Thanks for the fandom idea.

Yeah, I don't think he has anterograde amnesia. In spite of the Sheikah Slate, it's not shown whether or not Link can write notes down or anything of that nature, not to mention he becomes aware of how the Sheikah Towers and the shrines work.

Link retains new memories, how else would he know what all his clothes do, what each ingredient for food does, knowing that he has a house and hangs the picture with him and the champions in said house. Link remembers to go to hyrule castle to fight ganon after only seeing him there once, link remembers that he can shield bash a guardian laser. So many variables to this to easily disprove the fact that he can't retain new memories. He is able to get his old memories back upon visiting locations so his amnesia is fully temporary. Unless you don't do it

I just got back from my dad's engagement, we got so many sweets and a huge platter of nuts and raisins as gifts.

NintendoBlackCrisis, umm i think i have a good theory idea: You know how when you defeat ganon it quits to the title screen and it teleports to a time where you still didn’t defeat ganon, then *what if everytime you defeat ganon you get teleported to an alternative universe where you still didn’t defeat ganon*, i think it’s a good theory to make a video on

I feel like the sheikah would have thought of air vents in their shrine of resurrection...

I have a theory idea you could dig deeper in... If Link had fallen asleep for 100 years, what would actually happen to his body during that period?

Hands down best theory channel I've seen on this site. Concise, informative, not relying on a yellow stripe as your pivotal evidence. Congrats NBC

It made me watch it again not even kidding as soon as it was over it began again

Keep up the good work, man. Lapping it up.

Maybe when you wake up in the game isn't the first time Link was awakened. It could be like the things from Portal 2 where they woke him up periodically to check on him and having him complete the shrines was a test

NBC: *Makes joke about MatPat* Me: *Science Blaster Intensifies*

One thing I was hoping you addressed was skill: for most players, their first playthrough is rough until a quarter or half way through the game. This in conjunction with link's reputation as a master swordsman suggests he still needs to rebuild his skills throughout the adventure. Without knowing much about amnesia, this requires a type of present memory building in link

There must be some new bug of youtube. I watched this video, and I am sure I never saw it before (I would remember it, right?), but there was already a like.

YES!!!!!! Please do another science video, it was very interesting

1:05 This is exactly what I was looking for! I wanted to hear the outro music! *PERFECT!*

subscribed for the PMD references. esp the music, i recognized + appreciated it v much

The theory finally! Hows your internet? What about streams

Good job NBC!!! I love this theory video! Keep it up!!🖒

This is definitely true, as Link can't even remember destroying Gannon and saving Zelda.

Nice, your videos get better each times.

I really enjoyed this theory! I like it a lot! ... Now I want a 1hour video with the dancing link animation of the end. Ahahah!

Love your vids man keep up the hard work and you will be the next matpat

I always head-cannoned that Link's body was so decimated during the Calamity, that the Resurrection Shrine had to build from the ground up large portions of "Link". I assumed that large portions of Link's brain were 'replaced' and memories went with them.

I love these videos they are very good quality and well researched whilst funny at the same time you are really good you must put in so much effort

I completely agree on the retrograde amnesia but I don’t think he might’ve had anterograde amnesia. I see how the sheikah slate could be used to argue for that but do you really think he’s gonna be checking it every time he encounters something,

Nice video dude, another cool video.

I actually had a friend who suffered from amnesia. We hadn't talked for a couple of months and she had gotten seizure treatment shock therapy during that time and literally forgot entirely who I and our other friend were. Those memories were completely wiped.

Wow this theory is really amazing! i honestly never even care to figure out what was even amnesia BUT NOW I KNOW THANKS TO YOU

I love this theory video. Good job Nbc.

the shrine of resurrection was built with really good technology, i think it is a bit of a stretch to say it wouldnt have ventilation. Also having very low oxygen levels would probably make recovery even more difficult, and if it could bring his body back from the gates of death couldnt it have kept his hippocampus in working order? You cant replace lost memories but that doesnt mean you cant repair brain damage, like replacing lost pages in a book, you may not know what was originally on the pages but you can put new pages in to be filled out later. as for the king, he might be an asshole or he might want to be absolutely sure link can still handle himself. either way, fantastic video, i totally buy the blood loss part that caused retrograde amnesia.

Wait a minute... giant machines are being used to fight the enemies of the realm, writing down memories and taking pictures because you can't remember things, people somehow still being around even if they're dead and Link is involed... it all makes sense now! Link is Anya Alstreim from Code Geass! That must by why he looks so good in women's clothing!

Going through all your videos right now, and not even a joke, I thought, “wait did I watch this one already?”

hey maybe the quest titles are the notes that link is taking on his sheika slate and not only is the shrine sealed when link is getting ressurected but he has been completely engulfed in water for the last century as you can see at the start of the game when link is waking up

I didn't see that BOTW theory but I like your theories so YES! Give us mor plz.

The editing is on point here.

i super love your theories you are are my fave ytuber btw

Here's my two cents on why he remembers the King's promise for the paraglider: Link is likely inherently that way and takes oaths and promises very seriously, regardless of his upbringing. In fact the amnesia probably made this side of him even more pronnounced than normal. There's also the point that Rhoam is the one saying this - perhaps indirectly, subconsciously, rubbing against other memories, and it agitates him when someone tries to presumably back out of their promise or not follow through. The way I saw it, he only doesn't remember the days leading up the Calimity and the 36-48 hours after Ganon awakened. I think of the trauma of it all, clinically dying - head injury, lack of blood and oxygen flow to the brain or not - is what really caused it. Robbie mentions that Link still has the scars from the injuries he sustained. At minimum, given his outward condition in the final memory, he has likely been hit by guardian beams directly once and possibly glanced by two or three others, hence the injured shoulder. Even in game, glanced hits by guardian beams don't take off near the damage a direct hit would.

Hellllllloooooooo!!! I love your vids. Keep up the good work

I know that you mad the theory a while ago but the theory on links power i was wondering that when burbosa in one of the dlc memories parry’s and slows down time was that just for the cinematic or was that her power to?

Ok is Ik this was made like 2 years ago but did you ever think about maybe there was air tanks and even if he had a lack of oxygen ,wouldn’t he of just died to suffocation because it was 100 years he was in there. 7:57

Hippocampus is also the name of a mythical half half horse, half fish creature in Greek mythology kind of like a mermaid.

"The King was already dead, so he couldn't have known about the shrines holding the runes Link needed." ...Yeah, since clearly being an immortal spirit able to teleport and fly around with nothing to do for a century would definitely keep one from seeing the inside of those shrines. ;) Joking aside... that's an interesting theory. Thanks for the video.

The end card animation is HILARIOUS!

There are some things about the Shrine of Ressurection that I think you're forgetting (ironically) in your atterograde theory. Remember that this device is thousands of years more advanced than anything _we_ have, and is at least half magic in its nature. Also remember that this machine brought him back from recent death or at least near-death, completely healed his injuries, kept him alive and stopped him from aging for 100 years, and did all of this without giving him anything we'd recognize as food or water. I doubt that a lack of oxygen (let's remember that he wss fully submerged in that blue liquid anyway) would be a problem. Don't forget that in the Japanese version of the game the Sheika Slate notes are written by Link himself in first person.

Lol I literally started watching this whilst studying for my psych exam tomorrow. Thanks for the help!

What is the background music that starts at 01:58??? It’s so familiar but I can’t quite figure out why

"One doctor noted her patient remembered years of sitting and staring at a wall while in a coma." With "Just Zelda" on the wall, An obvious reference to DDLC. Hands down the best written game ever.

The background music gave me nostalgia which can lead to amnesia if not treated

I saw a statue that looked like the eighth heroine statue in gerudo town in the training area

I love the use of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and Ace Attorney themes for this video.

Love that you used music from Explorers of Time/Sky/Darkness! Just had to point that out :P

Love ur vids man

Yes please do another one of that please I love that

I love the music in the background lol

Imagine sending your hero to a shrine for recovery and he comes back with brain damage. You could forge an entire kingdom's worth of weapons with all that irony

The Opening with Mipha XD! 4:44 Wow 7:50 LOL

Yeah nah I doubt the Shiekah would make it so that no air flow entered the chamber regardless of how old it gets, plus the Resurrection Pod would prevent further damage to Link because it supposed to be healing him. It gave him the ability to remember and create new memories in the first place.

As much as i love you videos dude, I prefer only started watching this channel because of the speculation and discovery of law in the game, not random science aspects that have been covered by other channels, don't get me wrong, i still love your channel, but i just prefer the older content over the past 2 videos. Do what you love doing most importantly.

Very nice, I did a write up for English 102 based on amnesia because of this game and Link's situation. This video captured my thoughts on the matter perfectly. Another thing about this situation is that Link regaining the memories on the slate or single memories of the champions doesn't cure him of amnesia. He'd have no knowledge of what his former life was like. He'd have names and faces of Zelda and the champions but thats all based on those memories but he wouldn't remember them entirely from them. Next make a video on how the memories he receives from the places on the slate may not really be his but Zelda's.

More theory's plz!! There amazing

Idk about the anterograde amnesia, I doubt the highly advanced sheika medical facility would forget that people need air to live. Link was probably either sealed in the water with an oxygen mask, or the water isn’t water, and it has magic that lets people breath while it’s around them, like how the fairies don’t drown in their fountains.

Hmm, link is a hylian so his brain might be different to actual human brains!

Okay not only was that ending funny, but it was fitting.

I just took a psych course and I always confuse retrograde and anterograde amnesia. I guess now I’ve got a way to remember
