Is Breath of The Wild arguably the DARKEST Zelda game? Keep up to date here! - twitter.com/Hyrule_101

I like to think the koroks we have to find are the reincarnation of the children who died during the calamity

That moment when you realise you've been sttealing the gifts of dead lost childrens for the past 3 years

Person goes to leave offering at a child's grave Korok: YAHAHAHA Person dies of a heart attack

I think the grave outside Kakariko is more like a mass grave because that's also where the girl outside the clothes shop goes to mourn her dead lover.

me: *casually stealing the gifts for children's souls that have passed* "dont mind me" *chuckles*

Also the fact that Koroks are literally the descendants/transformed versions of the Kokiri, who are also exclusively children. So maybe the Koroks specifically appear around these statues because they are children themselves?? Just a thought I had

That last theory could also be an homage to the two brothers that harrassed Cremia in Majora's Mask.

“Theories that will freak you out” Are you so sure it will freak me out? *Get’s freaked out* I take back what I said!

I love how Link almost falls asleep at the end 😂

I always feel so sad going to the ruins of catsle town. Any ruins really. People had lived and now they're gone.

I have another one! :) I think someone else, maybe Zeltic or Monster Maze mentioned this, but if you go to one of the stables in Hebra/Tabantha, you will find someone who tells you that one of their horses got lost in the North Lomei Labyrinth, and right outside the Labyrinth there is a stalhorse (maybe with a stalkoblin, I can't remember) which is like the spirit of the lost horse!

Theory 3 - I spent an entire night with that horse because I felt bad that it only had a night to live before it decayed into the shadows and it never would have gotten to leave that ranch and explore the vast world of hyrule. and they say games make you violent.

3:09 thanks for making me feel like a jerk for taking the apples every time I come across those statues

All I want is some post game content so we can explore the beautiful world without all the monsters!

That "Spirit of Kakariko" theory could become an actual sidequest in BotW2, should the developers decide to include it.

If the koroks are children that means some of them don't have the things protection because they arent found by statues. Also it makes sense because they're basically playing hide and seek

I love these multiple theory videos

I like how you causally advertised your 2nd channel

Ingo becomes timid and good spirited after you defeat him and Talon took over the ranch again.

Statues honouring lost children, koroks being children of the deku tree, "oh ho ho you've found me". What if you are bringing these children back as koroks by offering an apple?

I’ve never seen the beams from the Divine Beasts render as a rainbow before! They’ve always been red for me, that’s so pretty!

@Hyrule Gamer Maybe the statues aren't just for the passed away children, but being tied to Koroks // Korok puzzles... Statues made in remembrance of the ancient *KOKIRI CHILDREN* ... The Koroks.

When your a zelda tuber and need new content Zelda withdrawal intensifies

Theories always make me question every single aspect of this game.

Don't we see from Link's memories that those statues have been around since before the calamity?

With the last theory maybe some of Ingo's own Malice was left in the ranch area. It's of course not really dangerous but still there. The Stalblins can feel it nudge on their spirits. So they just feel a compulsory need to mirror what Ingo's Malice left there.

Cottla's story is so sad. When I first heard all the dialogue in the game I was so sad...

A bit of a thought on the statues and how they relate to Koroks: It could be that the intention wasn't to relate them to children who died during the Calamity, but it could be a way to honor to Koroks - who are the descendants of the Kokiri, who were a race of perpetual children. This could be why Koroks hang around the statues all of the time, because the statues were placed there in their honor or memory.

That Let's Visit Hyrule channel looks dope!

I want to know why so many ruins have Wizrobes? Good video as always HG!! See ya.

Congrats on 90k!! You deserve it. Time to go for 100k now! 🎉

Ayy whats up really like your vids keep up the good work

this underrated person NEEDS more subs

That was a great video! I really like the thought of Ingo spirit haunting lon lon ranch

Also can you make a remake of your Top 5 Zelda games? That would be a fun vid

YAY! I'm on-time for once!

If there are two Stalkoblins, maybe it's the Gorman Brothers who raced Link in Majora's Mask? They were the ones who had the Garo mask. And since the Garo are within Ikana, the Kingdom of the *Dead*, it would make more sense for it to be them than Ingo who was just a normal ranch hand as maybe the Gorman bros may have been either descendants of the Garo since they both wear the mask when going after Cremia's milk wagon, and are the only other characters to wear this particular mask other than the garo themselves, or maybe they knew of some of the Garo's secrets and used them to keep their spirits around. *Shrugs* Probably not the best theory, but it was just something that came to me.

I think that it's actually highly unlikely/impossible that the bokoblins are ingo's spirit, as after you beat him, Ganon's influence is actually lifted and he returns to being a nicer guy.

Always happy to see a new video!!! Keep up the good work bro

Eh, the Ingo theory kinda falls apart considering that after you obtain Epona he turns good and is super friendly when you go back to the ranch. He even is shown to get along with his brother during the end credits.

Ingo wasnt the original owner of lonlon ranch. When ganondorf took over, he gave the ranch to ingo. It originally belonged to talon

Shoutout to the Discord Family 🐿💜

I've always stolen the apples that are in front of the statues. Now I feel terrible for it.😭 Thank you for showing me what they are based off of.

I think its fitting that the koroks, the tree spirits or children of the forest, would hide within the statues built to honor lost children. Placing an offering allows the spirit to come forth and kind of say thank you. I am glad you covered that one because I would have never known their reference.

Well, if there are two Stal-Bokoblins, they are the Gorman Brothers for me. No? 😅

I have a BOTW 2 theory The corpse we seen in the trailer isn't Ganondorf,that is a relative of Flower Lady Link and Zelda are walking,then Link accidentally steps on a flower which causes the corpse to arise This is a joke

#TheoryThoughts T1 - Kokiri and Koroks have always seemed associated with "the lost children," especially back in OoT. The fact that many of these statues have Koroks attached could imply they still are in BotW? Maybe it is something of the spirit granted by Farore returning to (wait for it) their ROOTS? T3 - Could the second stahl-rider be referencing the brothers from MM? Or maybe it is spirit of Ingo still stuck and unable to move on, forever trying to beat the hero in that race - so there must be a second rider for him to lose to every night.

OMG SO CLOSE TO 100K!! LETS GOOO

I'm so happy to be here

something ive never seen discussed and want to know about is the giant fallen tree next to the Hills of Baumer- i was playing while watching this video and I found it and noticed it looked like a ginormous tree had fallen here, I've never heard of it so I'd love for you to cover it

It's awesome being a Legends of Zelda fan. The community is so endless and there is so much content. Thanks for all the entertainment!

Congrats on 90k!

This was a cool video! Continuing on the korok puzzle statue theory, could you do a theory on all statues in breath of the wild? Not just those for the korok puzzles but also the cursed statue and all the other statues we see, and if and how they are connected.

Man the Ranch Ruins would explain a lot about why I'm able to hear Malon's voice when wandering the fields at night in Twilight Princess. Her voice just sounds so eerie and sad as if she was singing a distorted version of Epona's Song and just the thought that her ghost could be somewhere out there alone in the darkness makes it even more sad. And it seriously makes me want to get revenge on what Ganon did to her and her family.

If one of those Stalkoblins were holding a pitchfork I'd probably be all in. :)

Just got back from work and the first thing I did was check if the new theory was out and I was not disappointed. keep up the phenomenal content my friend!!

I love the reference to the ancient ninja clan from the 1500’s , awesome!!

I’m glad there are some more theories covering the Gozo statues. I’ve always wondered what the heck they were or what their influence originated from

I like this video! It’s just a bunch of mini theory’s bunched together into a regular video

Since the sequel is based in the same world, it would be nice if some of the same NPC characters are in it too. Like a slightly older Koko and Cottla and if maybe in that game, there was a side quest about their mother. I've seen people speculate that the green hand that Link absorbs is made of spirit energy so it would be cool if he had to use it to either reunite them with their mother or pass on a message.

A bit after you enter Fort Hateno, there's a small area where you have to shoot an arrow into the eyes of one of the statues to unlock and finish the shrine quest, "The Cursed Statue". Its sorta hidden but you can find it if you look for it or exploring the area. What if the reason why there are so many statues there is to honor the children who died in the battle of Fort Hateno or something like that? It's really secluded but it's a pretty place with nightshades and glowing mushrooms. It makes me sad everytime I go there.

The fact that Ritos and Zoras coexist but Kokiri and Koroks don't makes no goddamn sense

Theory 1 makes the fact that there's such statue puzzles in the canyon leading to the Yiga Clan's hideout - that need to be solved with bananas no less! - that much more twisted.

when you want to cry so you look at more breath of the wild content

Not really a scary theory, by any means, but what if the small, divine beast looking fish machine hung to the ceiling in Robbies lab belonged to a scrapped Minish champion, (given how we have art of a planned forest spirit-like champion.) and they left it there as a nod?

Also congrats on the 90k subs! Road to 100K!

Congrats on 90k!! You deserve it!! 👑

I now have to honestly ask myself whether I'm a horrible person for stealing all of the apples, whenever I find those statues..

93k subs. Wow man ur really climbing! That's awesome. I'm happy for u. U deserve it. U have really cool content!

In the spirit of overthinking: The Stalkoblin on the Stalhorse raises the weapon in his hand and shakes it. You'll see it if you pay attention. This motion looks EERILY similar to the way Ingo does it in OoT. What do you think, young man?

I love your content ! Thank you for this video

Hyrule gamer: you know those korok puzzles where you drop apples and other things to find a korok, they’re statues honoring and protecting the children that died during the calamity Me: oooooo free apples

The goddess statue having a bib in Kakariko Village is another Jizo reference, as grieving parents put a red bib on Jizo statues, so it protects their children in afterlife.

Ingo became a good man after losing to Link, maybe his negative feelings and obsession was driven out and took a life of its own, becoming the stalkoblin?

Ingo gets over his saltiness after you beat him, if you go back once talon reclaims the ranch

Nice video man

It's so freaky but so cool that you're so close to 100K followers. You definitely deserve it.

Dude, Major's Mask will always be the darkest story. The moon in that game is freaky

So close to 100K. Come on guys

Bro your so close to 100k it’ll definitely happen by the end of May

I think my favourite dark Zelda theory had to be that the shrine monks are redeads, who may have been prisoners of the royal family that the Sheikah turned into the undead messengers to the hero. There’s a good chunk of evidence for the monks being redeads, given how similar their designs are to the WW ones, and we know that the Sheikah are capable of some pretty horrifying things (look at the shadow temple in OoT for example). In BOTW 2, it would be really cool to get a proper explanation of exactly why the Yiga dissented from the Sheikah - did they disagree with some of the horrific things the tribe did in the name of the royal family, perhaps?

Now thinking about the statues theory, it make me sad and also, more curious about the ones from "The Cursed Statue". Sad for the statues themselves, but curious about the one with the purple eyes.😬

I actually Love the Ingo theory, and even though I doubt it was intended to be Ingo, it's a clever theory

I never thought about any of these. When I first played this game I just thought it was a cool, open world, and beautiful game. Great work as always

Hey, I seem to remember in Majora's Mask that you have to race 2 people. Maybe that's the second one?

If one is a reference to Ingo, could two be a reference to the Gorman Brothers from Majora’s Mask? After all, they did reuse Ingo’s Ocarina of Time sprite for both of the Gorman brothers in Majora’s Mask. Also the stalkoblins carry bows, and I seem to remember the Gorman brothers were shooting Cremia’s milk delivery with arrows(though I may be confused on that point, it’s been quite some time since I played).

About the Lon Lon ranch theory, even though Ingo wasn’t a Bokoblin, maybe after he died since he pledged his loyalty to Ganon, hence why he got to keep the ranch, and Ganon can revive creatures and create stal-monsters, maybe Ganon turned Ingo into the stal-bokoblin

0:20 Ganon-pork 👌🏼 😂

Those statues all all over the place inside Typhlo ruins (the almost completely dark area where you need to kill a Hinox without the help of light). If you bring your motorcycle in there, the headlights will be this very apparent. I wouldn’t even have known those statues were there without the help of those headlights.

I like the new t-shirts Hyrule Gamer. I may pick one up for the summer.

Well no wonder I felt so weird taking those apples from those statues...

Could it be a reference to the Ingo bros from MM? They both chase you on horses and scam you on their ranch too

Slightly less depressing, but I think those jizo statues may also be a reference to Link as a traveller and the Koroks are "children of the forest" themselves. Possibly a little easter egg back to Ocarina of Time.

Ingo wasn’t no bokoblin but I could see it being a slight nod of him possessing that stalboko

I was fascinated by the theory that the shadow hamlet ruins are all that remain of when a small settlement was burned to the ground by a fire wizrobe and everyone in it was killed.

I kind of wonder if the plan for Koko and Cottlas mother would have tied in with Cottla's games of hide and seek? since her line is about her mother hiding. Like, if it turns out Cottla has been playing hide and seek with her mothers ghost.

Ingo was a useless ranch hand, not a part owner. He took the ranch from them, that part you got right... also, ingo has a twin brother, as shown in majoras mask... Maybe the second one is a reference to him?

With the first theory I started to feel bad about stealing the food after I did the puzzle, I have a theory linking onto that theory the koroks are the children who passed away

That Ingo theory was pretty cool tbh.
