Only 3 characters are absent in the sequel to Breath of the Wild. The question is, what happened to them and why were they excluded?

Villa being referred to as a Hylian by other NPCs, with the character compendium referring to Sheikah as Hylian, as well as the fact that Vilia has red eyes, a distinctly Sheikah trait, what was a gag about Vilia possibly being a member of the Yiga clan may hold a little more truth
@xinpingdonohoe3978
@xinpingdonohoe3978 Ай бұрын
The only issue is that the compendium isn't correct by the standards of the already established lore - Skyward Sword. It's also wrong about the Deku Tree being a Korok, as per The Wind Waker. Of course, Vilia is a master of disguise, so pretending to be a Hylian should be a piece of cake. The Yiga do it every day.

I will add even more ''evidence'' to this, in totk some of the yiga clan members (i think the ones on the akkala ancient tech lab) say that they tint their hair black, I guess as a form of rejection to the sheikah whose always have white hair, so who's to say one of them wouldnt tint it red to infiltrate amongst the gerudo. Btw a counter argument to all this could be as to why they simply doesnt transform into a gerudo like we see some of them taking the form of Zelda, but now that i think about it i dont remember a yiga taking the form of a gerudo neither in botw or totk so maybe they can only take on the forms of other hylians?

Kass's disappearance in Totk was borderline character assassination. In Botw Kass was reluctant to go on his journey-he did it out of a sense of duty to his now-deceased teacher. He was torn about leaving his family behind, and his family deeply missed him. When you finish his quests he reunites with his family back in Rito Village, and he stays there with them for the rest of the game. In Totk Kass has seemingly abandoned his family to go on a journey for..some reason (we never learn why), and no-one in his family ever mention anything about him. We only learn about his whereabouts from Penn of all people, and Penn has never even met him before. His own family doesn't seem to even care.

@@Freelancer837 You know how everyone believes Calamity Ganon was essentially created from Ganondorf's Malice leaking out from below Hyrule Castle? That isn't actually canon, it's a fan theory. The game itself never says anything about how Calamity Ganon and Ganondorf are connected, or if they even are connected at all. The closest thing we get is an extremely vague statement from Impa when she returns to Kakariko. In fact, the name "Calamity Ganon" never appears once in Totk's entire script-it's always just referred to as "the Calamity" now. Calamity Ganon was essentially psuedo-retconned into not being Ganon anymore.

My hunch is that there was originally going to be a DLC quest that involved Penn and Kass. Though the most likely explanation is that the developers didn't include those characters because they couldn't think of a role for them. Kass and Maz Koshia are tied to the Sheikah shrines and Vilia isn't included because you don't need a disguise to get into Gerudo Town anymore.

As for villa, they could have helped with the battle of gerudo town and won the right to be among its citizens.

As much as I miss him, I understand the choice to leave Kass out of TotK. The reason he worked so well in BotW was because of its emphasis on isolation. Link was alone in this world that had little liveliness to it, so hearing Kass's tune and getting to talk was a welcome reprieve from the loneliness. In TotK, Hyrule is rebuilding and people are connecting more than ever before. That feeling of isolation is gone, so you don't need a recurring friendly face in the wilds. Kass's auditory role is replaced with the Music Troupe, where you find the individual members to bring them together again. It would've been nice to see him as like a cameo, but it fits the different themes of TotK to leave him out.

Honestly, when I first saw the wind blow Vilia's veil aside, I legit thought "Vilia looks like Vilia is old, but has good skin care and an active lifestyle". I could see natural cause being the reason Vilia is not absent in TotK, and I can see Vilia getting manipulated into joining the Yiga clan (personally I hope that if they did, then they were either the Blade master test giver, a new recruiter or one of the NPCs inside the actual base itself... Since those Yiga in particular have the lowest chance of a player engaging them in battle). Kass, on the other hand, I think is most likely in another region of the world. Probably Labrynna or Holodrum for all we know. He seemed young and fit enough to still have several years left on him. Also, I totally headcanon Yona being from Labrynna. The game tells you she's "from another land", and while Termina has peaceful Zora just like Hyrule and Labrynna, Termina has the problem of being in anothwr world. Meanwhile, you can straight up sail between Holodrum, Labrynna and Hyrule according to dialogue from the Oracle games' postgame and linked stories.
@mysryuza

Yeah I like to headcanon Yona to be from Labrynna as last time we’ve been to Labrynna, it’s the only other region I know of that had ties to Holodrum and has Zora. Holodrum was mentioned by a Zora that it was unsuitable for the Zora to make a domain in. It could change in Holodrum, but it’s currently theory territory at that point.

Kass can fly, and the songs have all been sung. Vilia, from a developer perspective, has no purpose now that we can enter Gerudo Town wearing almost anything, and from lore... I'm not sure. He was Gibdo-fied perhaps? Maz Koshia could well be why the Sheikah tech just magically "disappeared". It's not beyond the scope of his abilities, and we never saw him die. A few years is nothing to him, given how long he's lived. Besides, as we saw in the Trial of the Sword, the Sheikah aren't beyond having pocket dimensions that they can teleport to.

I like to think that Vilia, after playing totk and replaying botw, is actually Riju's father. With him dressing as he does within BotW so he could sneak into Gerudo Town to catch a glimpse of his daughter. With the reasoning behind the death of the previous Gerudo chef was the Yiga taking advantage of the meeting between the two. So she could spend time with her voe without ruining his cover, but with the Yiga learning this decided to act a plan. Resulting with Riju becoming the new ruler, but blaming himself for being unable to save his love and aid his daughter. Villia can only watch his daughter from afar, but his disappearance occurred after botw and before totk. With the Yiga seeing him as a threat as he aided Link to get into Gerudo Town. With Riju building the beacon in place Vilia stood in honor of her passed father? =v= Please excuse my rambling on my though.

Kass being referenced by a few characters but not encountered always gave me the hunch that the devs were planning some sort of DLC in which that was how Kass would make his return. Perhaps, Kass had found his way into the depths or the sky and been trapped somewhere, or journeyed to a remote location for the purpose of discovering a new song or point of interest. Perhaps he could use something like a “song of time” that could send Link back into the ancient past for brief segments in which we could ourselves affect things in Rauru’s time (but without ever meeting Rauru or Zelda), which would bridge the gap between what caused the Sheikah disappearances, and make the story even more of an Ouroboros. You could include things from BotW in this way in a way that still keeps them excluded from the base game of TotK but that still helps connect the game better THROUGH a DLC. Just one idea of many of how they COULD have used Kass. In the end, I feel his lack of appearance is intentional, and the way especially Penn talks about him seems they were setting up for SOMETHING, but they likely expected to do DLC for TotK and then had plans change.

I like to think that what really happened is that after 100 years of being terrorized by Guardians, the people of Hyrule spent the majority of the time between BotW and TotK dismantling and disposing of all Shiekah tech associated with the death machines. Very much a "never again" scenario. Plus if you think about it, should there have been a lot more reconstruction in Hyrule after ~6-8 years? You'd think there would be more structures built in that time than just a small fort and a schoolhouse.

Apparently they were short of labor force after the small-scale genocide Calamity Ganon caused when it destroyed the Market Town hence why the people of modern Hyrule barely did any massive reconstruction efforts.

Okay, this whole argument that they didn’t want the games to feel too similar and decided to not have Kass in the game, if true, is utter BS. All we would need is Kass chilling in the village. Even a mention of what happened to him. If he went on a journey, tell us. If he died, tell us. All we needed is information. Oh, and games have had sequels to great success with the same characters and no one ever wonders “aM I pLayiNG sPideR-MaN oNe or TwO?”

It has long been my belief that a lone male Gerudo is still born once every hundred years, but that he is no longer made their king. If you speak to Rhondson while she is still at the Kara Kara Bazaar, she will say that it is incredibly rare for a male Gerudo to be born, meaning it still happens. Whether it was because of Ganondorf's actions in Tears of the Kingdom or perhaps those of some other Gerudo king, obviously something happened that was egregious enough to make the Gerudo break with their long held tradition. For a while, it was my personal theory that it was the fault of the Ganondorf of Four Swords Adventures. Not being content with his role of Gerudo king and Guardian of the Desert, that Ganondorf broke Gerudo law and went inside the sacred pyramid, taking from there the trident which turned him into Ganon. Whatever the reason, the girls finally had enough of their king getting them into nothing but trouble with the rest of Hyrule. They may have started as thieves, but even then it seems they had a certain code of conduct that they followed. To no one's surprise, Ganondorf (of Ocarina of Time) also broke this code. His actions shocked at least some of his fellow Gerudo, and we know from Nabooru that not all of them approved of his conduct. Tears of the Kingdom expands upon this idea a little in a memory when it mentions how the last free Gerudo village has fallen.

Except, FSA Ganondorf was not a Gerudo king. He was only a guardian of the village, so the laws were already changed by that point. There is a Gerudo chief, similar to Urbosa/Riju in FSA, who expels Ganondorf from the tribe. Prior to that, a maiden in the game says he was only a simple “desert nomad”. Creating a Champion also implies OoT Ganondorf was the final Gerudo king. Therefore, I think it’s safe to assume the laws changed after OoT.

I think it's a shame Vilia didn't get to come back, as their depiction in BotW would have much clearer intent by getting a follow up on where they are. If Vilia was just a Hylian, seeing them outside Gerudo Town would be a way to interpret them as not welcome there, therefore they're either a man or perceived as a man by the Gerudo. Seeing them in casually in Gerudo Town would be pretty clear confirmation of them being a woman, though I guess it wouldn't be concrete evidence of them being trans or even a Gerudo. It'd have been a bit wholesome for them to be in Gerudo town though, and the reading of Vilia as trans does allow room for the implication of some interesting life story (especially with the whole one Gerudo male every 100 years thing)

I would love if Villia turned out to be a Yiga member all along, but oh well... Kass absence doesn't make much sense, but we can assume that he went somewhere else and that's it. The absence of an explanation about what happened to the Sheikah tech, that nobody seems to acknowledge, is what bothers me the most, specially with Purah and Robbie. A simple line about "Princess Zelda did an enormous task alongside hylians, Sheikah, Zoras, Gorons, Gerudos and Ritos to dismantle those things, to prevent history repeating itself" would suffice, you know? One way or another, ToTK is a really good game and a good sequel that does justice to BoTW, it's just not what we all expected it to be after six long years of development.

Not including Kass in TOTK was CRIMINAL. I avoided spoilers at all costs, so I kept playing in hopes he'd show up eventually, I mean he's one of if not THE most recognizable NPC in BOTW, they wouldn't leave him out, right? RIGHT? When I realized he wasn't in the game, I felt sad and disappointed, but kept hoping he would come back in a DLC or something. When Nintendo announced there wasn't going to be one, that was it, TOTK just... died, for me. They stripped BOTW of too many things I loved in that game: Kass, the champions, master cycle, ancient horse gear (horses are COMPLETELY USELESS in TOTK), Guardians, Stasis rune, etc.

The Sheikah tech is still around.

I think the monks caused the towers and shrines to vanish. Each shrine, including the Final Trial had a monk tied to it all with magic involved somehow, with Maz Koshia being the most powerful. This army of monks could easily combine their magic to wipe away much of the technology out of thin air or leave locations like the Shrine of Resurrection a mere hollowed out cave. Anything left behind like guardians or the Divine Beasts were scrapped for parts. This of course being the best call so that the Shiekah Tech doesn't get corrupted and turn on Hyrule again.

The ONLY thing that makes sense is that, after defeating the Calamity, someone (the monks? Hylia?) made the Sheikah tech magically disappear. If it was intentional by Zelda or Purah or anyone else, there is no way they would destroy the Shrine of Resurrection, and that's ignoring the fact that these people's entire lives were built around studying Sheikah tech, losing it was probably as big a tragedy as the Calamity itself. But if a divine force removed it, then why is there tech built into the Skyview Towers and a couple decayed guardians on top of the Hateno Tech lab? Why do the Ancient Arrowheads (not to mention the freaking Purah Pad!) still exist!? If Nintendo wanted to remove the Sheikah tech, they could of at least of been consistent with it, instead of giving me a headache everytime I boot up TotK...

@@TheMegaMarshtomp My headcanon as to the disappearance of most of the Sheikah technology is that most of the still _functional_ tech like the Shrines, Towers and walking Guardians were all connected to an advanced "network" created by the Ancient Sheikah so that every piece of technology would work in direct collaboration to one another to ensure no individual piece would either malfunction or be repurposed for evil desires (Malice infection aside). Since all the tech was specifically built for the sole purpose of vanquishing the Calamity once and for all this advanced "network" made the unconscious decision to make every fully functional Sheikah device in Hyrule "erase" itself into nothingness should their ultimate purpose of vanquishing the Calamity be finally fulfilled. The many pieces of remnant technology we see scattered across Tears of the Kingdom's Hyrule are the many pieces of _non functional_ technology which were no longer connected to the collective network all the Shrines, Towers, Guardians, etc. were all a part of when Link and Zelda defeated Calamity Ganon. Since they were no longer connected to the network they became unable to obey its programmed command to erase themselves following the completion of the their sole purpose of ending Calamity Ganon and so been left behind for Purah and co. to either repurpose or pile together. It's not a very engaging explanation which feeds our hunger for in-depth lore i know but to me its the one plausible conclusion which gives me reason to think Nintendo didn't dismiss the tech from the direct sequel willy nilly just to justify the "much cooler" green-colored Zonai technology instead... right?

Besides Maz Koshia (whose disappearance does make sense), I really wished we got to see Kass and Vilia in TotK, at the very least as random NPCs, with Kass remembering Link (Vilia doesn’t have to imo). I feel like Kass should’ve been at Rito Village - I mean the man has a wife and five kids and he mentioned feeling very homesick in BotW and part of the band of adults trying to solve the mystery of Stormwind Ark (and return home after). I mean, it feels odd that Amali (his wife) doesn’t return with to the village or go to Lookout Landing as an ambassador like the rest of the adults and stays at the cabin. If not, he should at the very least be a part of the stable trotters. His family (and Penn) kinda-sorta references him but a NAME DROP would be nice. Vilia was pretty iconic and as a random NPC Easter egg would be fun. While they no longer would sell you clothes, they could just talk to you about them. Maybe even secret club member? Idk. Them being Yiga would be a fun surprise too though. It’s a shame we won’t get to see them ever again. Both were very iconic and Kass is one of my favourite characters so it’s disappointing to see them gone. Edit: To those saying that Kass is based on a migratory bird… he’s not. Kass is based on a blue and gold macaw and a quick Google search will tell you macaws don’t migrate. Penn (based on a pelican and/or albatross) IS based on a migratory bird though. However, this will still imply the entire Rito species migrated and that’s not the case as seen in TotK.

Or at least maybe the new musical band could play his songs and be like "yeah this bard named Kass taught it to us". That would've been nice.

Interestingly, not all guardians have vanished like the shrines did, as there is actually an old guardian outside one of the labs. (I think it's being used as a power source the way it's being displayed. My theory is that after defeating Calamity Ganon, most of them were dismantled to avoid any more danger from them.) I'm also thinking that the Sheikah Towers were also dismantled by Purah's team to make the new towers so other people can make use of them. Maybe all ancient Sheikah technology just stopped working after Breath of the Wild and Purah replaced them? It would explain why the Sheikah Slate was replaced by the Purah Pad in Tears of the Kingdom.

This game is barely a sequel. If BOTW didn’t exist, it would not have affected this game AT ALL, and that’s actually crazy when you consider the fact this game is supposed to be a direct continuation of that game… What’s the deal with wanting to separate to THAT extent? People loved BOTW. It was very successful. The VERY LEAST they could have done was literally add more dialogue directly referencing the events of BOTW. And I mean real dialogue that would make a difference in the story, not the dialogue we got where you could just cut it out of the game entirely and it would make no difference at all. No models, cutscenes, blah blah… Literally just dialogue and it would have been 10x better than whatever the hell they were thinking. That, combined with the fact that they just straight up said no DLC or more games or anything just makes it all super disappointing. Way too many things were left out or unexplained in this game and it sucks. They fell into the trap of prioritizing fun gimmicks and in doing so, completely abandoned the story. It’s just another game that happens to take place in the same world.

It rather pains me that the devs didn’t include something like that. I don’t think it would have been too much of a callback, and the lack sticks out like a sore thumb. Same with no in-game reference to the disappearance of the Sheikah tech or guardians. Not asking for something big…but SOME sort of acknowledgement would have been nice.

We can answer that ourselves: yes, they knew. How? The Ancient Hero wears Zonaite clothing, so he has some connection to the Zonai. This means he was around not too long after Rauru and Mineru. Which then means, since he fought the previous Calamity, that there were only two Calamities, one soon after Ganondorf's sealing. Makes sense; he would have had lots of power stored up fresh from his battle. As for Sheikah tech, it was probably as hidden as the Sheikah themselves. In fact, it was present in the main timeline. I don't mean Gohdan, since that's technically unconfirmed. I mean the Wallmasters from Tri Force Heroes, which are unambiguously Sheikah technology. We may even know the Ancient Champions, since the Ancient Sages are a perfect fit. The Divine Beasts even look to have been modelled after their Zonaite masks.

​@@xinpingdonohoe3978 Couldn't there have been more Calamities than just the two? According to both Impa and Zelda the Calamity has appeared "time and again throughout Hyrule's history" implying the Ancient Hero might not have been the only incarnation of Link to have fought him in the past. Truth be told i feel Nintendo consciously chose to keep Calamity Ganon's history as vague as possible to force players to embrace the conclusion that Hyrule's history is so inaccurate and "muddied" it is impossible to piece together. Good catch on the Wallmasters in Triforce Heroes as i've been pondering wether Nintendo is alluding at something by giving them such a robotic design. The Ancient Champions shown in Impa's tapestry look absolutely nothing like the Sages who fought in the Imprisoning War (unlike the Ancient Hero who does ressemble his in-game sprite) so it's highly unlikely they are also meant to be the Ancient Sages.

@@javiervasquez625 I just figured that if the Ancient Hero was with the previous one, and he was right by the era of the Zonai, then that wouldn't leave any room for any more to exist. The first would be after the sealing of Ganondorf. And they don't look too much like the tapestry figures, mainly lacking masks, I was just suggesting that possible candidates did exist in the ancient ancestors of the Champions and Sages, because someone would say "if the Calamity was back then, who were the pilots?".

I would have loved to have at least seen Kass just hanging out at Rito Village. His absence, like other missing details from BOTW, is just lazy story telling IMO.

I always thought that the Guardians were all dismantled and recycled for scrap. Since in the scene where you are fired from the elevator there were guardian claws being used.

Apparently not all of them "disappeared" as Fujibayashi stated in that interview. I almost feel Nintendo is either been ambiguous or lazy as to what exactly happened to all the Sheikah technology.

@@aliastheabnormal I guess that's possible as well yet it feels a tadbit too convenient that the Zonai technology which was literally created by Nintendo to _replace_ the Sheikah technology from Breath of the Wild would also happen to be the sole reason for its disappearance. Nintendo wouldn't be that lazy (and cheap).

I'm honestly kind of glad Kass wasn't in Totk, i loved him in Botw, but i felt like he was sort of the emodiment of breath of the wild, ESPECIALLY IN THE DLC, where at the end of the Champion Ballad it honestly feels like a final goodbye to him, not to mention that he literally sings the name of the game "breath of the wild" in one of his songs. If he was in Totk at all, i'd honestly like the game a little less, kass was basically part of botw's identity, and bringing him back would make totk feel less like it's own game in my opinion.
