I watched this video with my little brother, who is an avid Skylanders player and Spyro is his favorite to play. He doesn't know too much about the other Spyros, but has watched me play the original trilogy multiple times and has watched me play parts of the last game of the Legend series. Simply put, we are both mind-blown and I'm hoping something comes about from this video being made. now I just need to make my dad sit down and watch this, as he is the reason I started playing Spyro and always helped me with OG Spyro, A New Beginning, and helps my little brother with Skylanders now. I'm sure he will be excited to see this theory connecting all of the games together. Thanks for giving my family something to bond over!! lol

As growing up with OG Spyro and playing the games after it, including The Legend of Spyro as well Skylanders with Spyro's Adventure, I do have to say that this idea of all three Spyros existing in one Timeline~ I have to agree fully with this one. Reasons being of how the prophecy of how each Purple Dragon is born every 1000 years just seems too logical to pass up. Also each Purple Dragon is given the same name title, "Spyro". The facts are in the pudding, and you bringing it together just made it sound pretty real I will say.

I posted this as a standalone comment, but in case it gets buried, I'll post it here. This theory is fun....but it doesn't hold up in deeper analysis, especially in regards to Skylanders lore. "This video is fun but this theory has many flaws in it that make it wrong. I think Canadian guy eh focused too much on Spyro lore but ignored Skylanders lore, which flat out contradicts a key part of this theory. Nothing against Canadian Guy though! So for starters, numerous purple dragons other than Spyro exist in OG Spyro continuity, seen in both the original trilogy, reignited trilogy and Shadow legacy. This kills off the purple dragon prophecy as existing in OG Spyro continuity. You then have the creator of the Skylander comic with Malefor confirm that the Skylander Malefor *is not* the Legends of Spyro Malefor in a Q&A. The biggest flaw in this theory is that Skylanders Imaginators irrefutably kills this theory regarding the creation of Skylands. It is confirmed in Imaginators that the Skylands and its life was created by mind magic by the Ancients, a race a giant brain tentacle creatures. NOT a cataclysm caused by Malefor, as we see in Legend continuity. The last ancient is a key character in the game plot and confirms this backstory. There are other flaws in this theory, such as purple dragons being immune to dark energy in OG Spyro(as pointed out by this video) YET Legends and Skykanders has purple dragons being *vulnerable* to dark energy. Or how OG Spyro only is able to learn other breaths through magic from Bianca or Faeries. In other words, he can't learn different breaths naturally like Legend and Skyland Spyro can. Canadian Guy Eh says having 3 different continuities feels like a cop-out....but that's not a lore arguement, that his personal preference. It's no more a cop out than Crash having two continuities now. I'm not trying to be to too critical on Canadian Guy, it's a fun theory....it just doesn't hold up in deeper analysis."

I noticed another thing that could point towards Spyro and Cynder's souls being linked and being reborn together. When Spyro's sacrificing himself, as it's zooming out, after the burst of energy and before Cynder disappears behind a rock, it looks like Cynder starts glowing just like Spyro, except it starts on her nose. I looked at the individual frames, and it's just a tiny glow for 4 or 5 frames before Cynder disappears behind the rock, but it definitely looks like it's following the shape of Cynder's head, and it is exactly where her head is. There also aren't any other glowing areas at that time, and nothing for it to be reflecting off from Spyro. Anyway, great job on the theory! It makes a lot of sense, and it's obvious you worked really hard on it!

if this is true, then something must've happened for all of the technological advances from the OG Era, such as ray guns, generators, and even robots, to vanish from memory. why? well, it's a safe bet that Malefor had something to do with that- his first conquest reverted everything back to a simpler, medieval time. it can happen- i'm sure there's some event in Earth's history to back that up. and that could also mean that Legends Hunter could be the descendant of OG Hunter and Bianca, which would give him incredible rabbit reflexes as we see in the in-game parkour he does. i don't remember other cheetahs in Dawn of the Dragon or OG Hunter doing that.

I know this doesn't really matter but "10 generations" shouldn't be equivalent to 1,000 years. It's a silly thing to correct but it's interesting. In most cultures, a generation is 40 years (30 in some Asian countries). In most cases, 10 generations should equal out to 300 or 400 years. Perhaps, in Spyro's world, a generation is 100 years? I'm not sure. =P

Little late in this reply. This is actually an interesting observation. There's multiple contexts for the word "generation." It could speak of a societal timespan or even from parent to child to grandchild and so forth. Given that Ignitus was in the first and second series, it can be assumed that these dragons can live for an absurdly long time, thus making their societal definition of generation even longer.

That is a good link. In the Legend series, Ignitus stated Spyro (being early in his cycle since the other purple still lived) was created to balance out the evil created by Malafore. So clearly nature is using Spyro to balance out darkness/evil. Those crystals you mentioned could have been what caused nature to start the cycle of Spyro's rebirthing to begin with and since the crystals (I.E. the darkness) never goes away (since they are present in the legend series) then Spyro would need to reincarnate often to serve as a constant balance against the darkness. I'm not well versed in Skylanders since I still hold some resentment for using Spyro as a money grab for their new game, but from what I do understand, they mentioned that darkness and light need each other, so the continued presence of evil and Spyro would make sense.

Way late jump in, but im binging on Spyro vids due to my hype for the remaster, and I decided since I never got to play the Legend series id watch a play through so I can get the story until I get the chance to get my hands on a PS2 and copies of the Legend series. Anyway, I was watching a playthrough, and something Ignitus said stood out to me when teaching Spyro to fly. When telling him to clear his mind and that the Ancestors will help him, Ignitus says this. "Just forget everything you ever thought you knew... forget yourself. *_Only through forgetting will you remember what your ancient blood already knows_* " What stood out is "What your ancient blood already knows". It could be taken as Ignitus knowing Spyro has been reincarnated, that all purple dragons are the same soul. He's telling Spyro to reach deep within himself to remember things he knew from long ago, but "Forgot" when he was reborn. I just figured id share something that really stuck out to me.

This was a really good and respectful theory about the entire Spyro series. Someone like me who had grown up with the original three Spyro games and could respect and play what Skylanders is I enjoyed this theory. But I feel like you should also probably venture into some of the stuff that Skylanders had to offer to probably well add more pieces to the puzzle like dark ether. If you haven't seen any of the cut scenes from the supercharger game from the Skylander series they introduce the darkness as its own sentient being something I think you should probably look into if you haven't really paid attention to the Skylander universe.

I would actually place the OG Spyro after the New Beginning Spyro, because of the world structure, the OG series has worlds like Dream Weavers where the world is made up of broken up sections of land, but it would also have to be after Skylanders because they rebuilt society on the floating islands, you see Avalar and the Forgotten Worlds are well established societies completely separated from the Dragon Worlds, The fact that the Forgotten worlds have been forgotten for a thousand years means that before that they lived together, dragon magic was important to maintain the portals... I'm not sure what happens to Cynder but maybe since she isn't a purple dragon she isn't necessarily reincarnated as a dragon at all... so perhaps after Skylanders Cynder was reincarnated not as a dragon but a dragonfly, thus explaining why it is that Sparx in OG works as Spryo's health bar, it's Cynder protecting him because their souls are bound together.

What if 10.000 years is simply time of hatching of dragons and purple dragons are simply immortal? Ignitus did know that it would be purple dragon because he did know that those were eggs of Malefor? And I say eggs because there were two eggs what Ignitus mention at one point. That is what Malefor meant by saying that there were more then two purple dragons.

good vs evil's commented the same thing, here is my reply "hunter is a good question. A issue that would have taken longer to explain (maybe I need to make a part 2 of this video to tie up all the loose ends :p) Sadly, there is not enough info to really answer this question with 100% certainty. But it could be that this hunter (the legend of spyro) is The original hunter's future ancestor. Again, remember how I said that something happened in the original spyro series that preserves his soul forever? Something HUGE had to happen, and I'm sure he would have had help from his friends (hunter included) so that means that the original hunter could be a renowned hero among his clan. So they named him after the great story of hunter, his ancestor. Which happens a lot in history ( see sigurd snake in the eye, the Viking named after his ancestor who apparently fought a giant water serpent)" I think Sparx would either also follow suit or is a coincidence. Not the same person but possibly a future ancestor. But it could also be a coincidence (Though kinda weak)

If you recall in Spyro the Dragon, the very first Spyro game, one of the Dragon Elders you free from his crystal prison actually hints that there is something more to Spyro. I cannot remember the exact dialogue, but essentially implies he’s something special. Also in the back of the game booklet that came with all games back in the day there is actually an image of an adult Spyro. Or at the very least a adult purple dragon. So I will concede to your theory and allow Skylanders to be canonical.

@Canadian Guy Eh Speaking about theories, what if Malefor isn't reincarnation but simply ten thousand years is how hatching of dragon egg take a time and they literally made up story about it? What I really mean is that it is totally possible that Ignitus did know that purple dragon hath from egg because it was in fact Malefor egg? In short Spyro could be his son, what make a sense if we consider that he clearly rip off Vader trying bring Spyro on his side despite not having real interest in that. And speaking of that what Malefor meant by saying that there is more purple dragons is in fact something else.. specifically that there were more eggs (Ignitus mention that at one point) but he was capable to reclaim only one from two. Point is that there is a reason why Spyro and Cynder have same age and why she in fact did monster all dark elements when we do know that Dark Dragons are only corrupted normal Dragons so they should work in same way. And that isn't even a theory as she loose black taint over time clearly revealing purple scales. I wounder why you miss that fact?
@TheRezro6 жыл бұрын
Also largest counterargument against this theory is fact that Malefor technically did appear in Shadow Legacy under name Sorcerer. If classic and Legend series is in canon it would mean that he is not previous Spyro. Also for some reason they decided to retcon Malefor in Skylanders what in fact strongly contradict this theory regard its continuity with that series. If after classic PS1 trilogy they decide to remade PS2/DS era then it is totally possible that we end with Classic and Legend series in one canon. Retconing Skylanders though would be hard. My beat would be that Skylanders Malefor could be impostor who take name of evil Dragon King when real one is Spyro father, though even in this case it is sad that he isn't on top anymore as Strykore was one who corrupted purple dragons.

Nice theory. I actually thought that Skylanders connected to both the original and TLOS series for two reasons: I could have sworn the lore said that Spyro was recruited from the Summer Forest along with Sparx to become a Skylander (So OG Spro connecting directly to Skylanders) and that Cynder and Malefor are actually reincarnations of their TLOS versions, since Cynder was recruited by Spyro after he encountered her and help her out (Also connecting TLOS to Skylanders). But the only issue is that it seems the Skylanders lore kinda changes on how they want Spyro and Cynder to be seen so its kinda hard to say.

As someone who wouldn’t let go of the fact that the dawn of the dragon ending and skylanders beginning connected and NO ONE TALKED ABOUT IT i throughly enjoyed this. Honestly dude i’ve been living this theory for so long. I’ve always thought they existed in the same timeline just at different times. THE ONLY THING that i couldn’t put together is the “when a dragon dies, a page gets written in this book but i cannot find spyros anywhere” and the scene of Cynder and Spyro frolicking. BUT it causes me so much relief that you gave justification. THIS is the theory that trumps all other theories and no one can convince me otherwise. which is why i HATE skylander’s academy. it portrays Malefor as Cynder’s DAD and thats a little weird if we think about Malefor being a version of spyro. yuck! ahaha
@bardmine4draketooth57710 ай бұрын
I will say even the Skylanders academy can still be worked with it under this theory as the malifor in the show is nothing like legend of spyro's so if we follow the theory the name malifor could be a title and great honor among evil creatures and so say the shows dragon's family named him malifor after the dark master, then when he had a egg made it was the reborn soul of cynder you would have a dragon named malefor who wasnt the original malefor. Making it all fit nicely
@LanceBjornsson88885 ай бұрын

They are both in Season 2, actually! Dark Spyro at the VERY end, though. However, that poses an odd question... particularly, pertaining to Skylanders Academy (which I did NOT expect to be actually good, and do Spyro justice). Yes, Malefor is an undead dragon king in the show, and this would connect the two storylines. However, as for the question... In Academy, Malefor is Cynder's (probably) blood father...Somehow. And to top it off, Malefor looks VERY different for some odd reason ( img00.deviantart.net/5cb1/i/2017/262/5/7/malefor___skylanders_academy_by_bctheboss-dbnwwe4.png < this is Malefor in Academy, and shows no otherwise sign of being a purple dragon at any point, or even remotely connected to LoS' Malefor. Other than being an undead dragon king, which is a stretch to say they're the same simply because of that. I don't know, maybe Academy Spyro is just a bit different from normal Skylanders Spyro in terms of lore.

1. Malefor not being purple can be a false statement. Spyro is a purple dragon, but when he turned evil he got black scales in academy. Maybe, if Malefor turns on the good side, he will return with purple scales. 2. Skylanders itselfe has 3 Franchises. Comic, Game and tv- series all licensed to 3 different companies. With this you have 3 different Timelines *AND* 3 Dimensions. As long as the TV-Series states that Eon found Spyro it is impossible to say how it is connected (which is on a very high level of possibility)

Couple things to add/adjust: Malefore's soul is trapped in convexity while his body is trapped at the well of souls, so his soul doesnt become reborn. This is because malefor is the other purple dragon ignitus is talking about. The first is OG spyro, the second is malefore, while you the player are now officially the third. malefor was originally the dark wizard dragon from shadow legacy, mastering the evil power and being banished and eventually having his soul and body disconnected. The writers on LoS also work on shadow legecy, too. I ADORE this video though, Im glad someone holds the same theory as me :D
@ELENADEHOWLER-sl8xz Жыл бұрын
Not only do I see a near 1 to 1 recreation of the Shadow Realm Sorcerer in Malefore (visually) I also hear A LOT of similarities between the Shadow Realm Sorcerer’s theme in Shadow Legacy, Malefor’s theme in Dawn of the Dragon and the battle themes from the Legend Trilogy… to the point where I got to the boss level and the first thing I said to myself was “Wait, is that Legend of Spyro music?” BEFORE I EVEN GOT OFF THE TELPORTER THAT BROUGHT ME THERE! Also, I don’t think ALL Undead are soulless in Skylanders… just the ones who were made artificially without one like Chop Chop or the ones who sold theirs like Malefore are, but there are some who DO have their souls intact because they’re still in their own bodies like Hex, Cynder, Ghost Roaster, Fright Rider ECT the ones who went to an undead realm without Eon’s protection spell, died there, and came back as themselves… as for being born an undead element, like Roller Brawl, I’d say she at least has a soul, but I’m going to put them on the “take it case by case” list

@Luca-gj6qg4 жыл бұрын
I do have a theory about Sparx. Perhaps with no apparent reason, Sparx's soul works just like Cynder's, except for the fact that he has always been there since the OG 5 games. As you can see, there are a few details that made me reflect. Sparx was not there when Spyro sacrificed himself in the legend trilogy, but he was still bound to him. That made me think that the relationship between Spyro and Sparx became a bit weaker: in fact Sparx is just an item in the Skylanders series. The only qeustion is, how is it possible that he is actually bound to Spyro? It's actually easy to think about it. Sparx has always been the health indicator of Spyro in the OG series, and that could be the link. About Hunter, I do also have a theory. Starting from Spyro 2, we always saw Hunter, and I think that during Spyro: a Hero's Tail he found a way to bound his soul with him. I'll explain immediately how. During a section, Spyro gets trapped, and you get to play Hunter and save his life. Perhaps this action made by Hunter granted him the possibility to be reincarnated, but only once, because technically Hunter saved Spyro's life only once. You'll probably ask me "why did Hunter not show up in the first two games of the Legend series?" Spyro simply explains it in dawn of the dragon when he says "Hunter... you've been following me!"
