As a note: it was common to have other people care for the royal baby rather than by the queen. Rauru and Sonia must have had a child since Zelda shares a blood connection to both of them, so this child was probably kept out of the eye of their enemy Ganondorf and raised by a wet nurse perhaps an Impa of the past who was sworn to protect the child.

@@chunkyrageragreed, though I don't think it was a couple thousand years, since the ancient hero is clearly a hybrid of a Zonai and something else. Since Rauru and Mineru were supposedly the last one left of their kind, that must mean that the ancient hero descended from a Zonai still alive at the time of Raurus sacrifice, which means there couldn't have been a lot of time that passed, couple centuries at most, otherwise the Zonai genes would have run too low to show this much resemblance to Zonai in the ancient hero.

Another tragic aspect with Sonia and Rauru is they both mentored her exactly the way she needed to be mentored to be ready for the Calamity in BOTW, but in TOTK it wasn't enough. Sonia was the mother/teacher she never had and Rauru encouraged her academic curiosity, as opposed to Rhoam, who just had her "train" (whatever that meant). In the end, Zelda still lost her Mother/mentor and her father's (Rauru's) hubris still left Zelda to pick up the pieces and be trapped for longer and with no hope for a way out this time. In that way, it mirrors BOTW's story.

To be fair, Rhoam did realize the error of his ways, based on his journal you find in BotW. But yes, his pressuring her did not help much, but considering how grave the situation was in regards to the Calamity's imminent revival, can you blame him? Being a leader can be stressful.

Spoilers: Something I haven't seen anyone notice about Sonia is that, after seeing all the memories back to back again, I THINK Sonia always KNEW Zelda had to become a Dragon to save Hyrule, every time Zelda mentions she has to go back to her time Sonia stops her somehow and puts ideas in her mind to rather stay with them and make her come to that realization herself, even when they were having tea she reminds her of Link after saying "you also wanna help us, don't you?" she is in a way like Dumbledore always knowing Harry had to die and guiding him. Sonia is the sage of time after all, she knows where things were and why that's how she uses her power, I bet she probably even knew she was gonna be killed by Ganondorf.

Someone had already mentioned this but I feel like there was a missed opportunity by having Rauru disappearing after the tutorial, he would have been a great companion to talk to whenever we saw him. And to expand this idea further maybe we could only meet Rauru on the sky islands and be able to meet and talk to the spirits of queen Sonia on the surface of Hyrule and Mineru down in the depths. It would be a small change that would make the game so much better and make the ending feel like it all came full circle with Rauru and Sonia rewinding both Link and Zelda.

Since we know that BotW takes place at the end of one of the three timelines, and that the and that any other Zelda game happens after BotW or before the imprisoning war, that means that the games have to take place before the imprisoning war because BotW is the last game in the timeline.

I don’t buy it. Hylia was specifically stated to be the first Zelda, but her descendant carry on her holy power in their blood, not their soul.

There are other family members and royals among the court as we have seen in past games. Though I can’t tell you how to explain the issue of Princess Zelda and Zelda I in the first two games existing at the same time. The particulars of Hylia’s bloodline eludes me, but the word of mouth is what I try to fall on as the most accurate word unless proven otherwise. So far, not sure how the bloodline remains strong, just that it does and is a necessary component to be bound to the fate of Hyrule.

Many things to point out in here. Hylia is the goddess of Time. The only time she reincarnated as a mortal was through the very First Zelda in Skyward Sword. The only and one time. There’s a lot of evidence that shows that she went back on becoming the goddess Hylia again so as of now she is Hylia. Like shown in skyward Sword she resides in the edge of Time. Also, her bloodline (the royal family) all the Zelda’s are not reincarnations. They are only the bloodline of the goddess Hylia and thus they inherited her Time powers alongside other sacred powers.

In that she talks about having a dream about a mysterious woman shining golden light and her presence was calming, or something of that sort. Zelda didn't know who she was, so she can't be her mother or Urbosa. The figure could have been someone else, like even Hylia, but I suspect it was foreshadowing queen Sonia.

Ganondorf kills Sonia and takes her tears to become unstoppable and is sealed as a result. Ganondorf kills link to take his piece of the triforce and becomes unstoppable and is sealed as a result.

You'd think they would remark on childcare at some point if the child was young or on the child's achievements(first hunt or diplomacy) if they were older, unless Mineru managed to make a test tube baby after Sonia's passing or Sonia had a sister she never talked about that Rauru was willing to ensure the bloodline with it is a weird omission.

The love between Link and Zelda is very mutual than you all think. She is the only person that helps her Appointed Knight and Hero to be more open up as seen in Zelda’s diary entry in BOTW. Petals of the Silent Princess flowers represent their endless love as Bolton has mentioned after the Terry Town side quest. Zelda’s dragonification is reversed when Rauru’s light power and Sonia’s time power channeling through Link. The reasons why it happened because they required Link’s stronger motives.

The reversing of Zelda’s draconification really sealed the deal for me that it’s a mutual thing. In botw it was basically confirmed that Zelda had feelings for Link however it was questionable as to whether or not Link reciprocated (yes I know about the symbolism of the petals at the end of the true ending), however, some people still tried to find ways to rebut the claim that Link loves Zelda by saying that this all could be just friendship. While this could be the case, people often neglect that the legend of Zelda takes the classical trope of a coming of age story. The boy who sets out to brave the unknown to go and rescue the princess from the villain. The princess had always been a symbolic representation of the wife you secure once the boy grows up and overcomes the challenges he encounters along the way. While not explicitly depicted in a romantic sense, the deeds Link does in order to find Zelda surely falls under this trope and in TotK, we see Link go above and beyond just to find Zelda. Destroying Ganondorf was secondary to him.

Honestly im still surprised reflecting on the story that Ganondorf focused specifically on Sonia, and not Zelda.He's shown as one of the most strategic, powerful, and cunning people in the story- spying on the kingdom enough to make a perfect clome of Zelda to get Sonia on her own (though she likely knew the entire time what was going on). But early on at the first meeting with the king and queen he likely saw Zelda for the first time at her weakest while she was still new to this entire time period with no one but Sonia, Rauru and perhaps Mineru to really talk about her time travel situation with, let alone her powers. She's been stated to be 'away from her own kingdom' (Because Rauru and Sonia told everyone Zelda was a visiting relative from far away) and she likely hasnt gotten a solid grasp on her own powers at this point in time making her the weakest of the Secret stone Trio to target. Not only that, but if Ganondorf had sequestered her away from Sonia and Rauru with a similar stunt- making a pupet of Sonia; I have no doubt that Zelda would follow her to a private location and not be able to protect herself or get help in time- and would probably have least amount of security or kingdom wide scrutiny if she were to be harmed or dissapear, had she ventured off on her own because shes not the King or Queen.
@joansantiago6746 Жыл бұрын
I hate to be the "actually" guy, but one way I've seen others read Ganondorf's thought process as that he chose Sonia because Zelda is just one big question mark, she's too much of an unknown. There was no way he would know that Zelda hasn't gotten a solid grasp of her power, that's information only privy to us players, Sonia, Rauru, & Zelda (Probably also Mineru). Ganondorf using Zelda's appearance to cause confusion (as referenced from the 12 stone records) was a smart move in that regard, because all the people really know about Zelda is that she's a relative from far away and not much outside of her personality. Ganondorf likely have researched these three if we are to count on his cunning (considering he knew how to trigger Rauru) , and while that likely gave him nothing from Zelda's history, he must have learned that the three of them are close and if Zelda is Sonia's relative, then she's a good bait for Sonia. If Sonia's dumb and gets killed immediately, that's good. If she's smart and tries to handle it on her own, he still has the element of surprise. Though imagine if he targeted Zelda and her light powers actually come in clutch, Ganondorf would be screwed. TLDR: Rauru is too powerful, so pass. Zelda is an unknown irregular, not gonna risk it. Sonia does have OP time powers, but she is the safest choice between the three.

For future DLC, i would like to have a playable Princess Zelda in her own Second Quest story where Queen Sonia helps her descendent mastering her time power while be given more moments with her and King Rauru. At the same time, we get to learned about the origins of Ganondorf and what drove this formal Gerudo King in conquering Hyrule with Kotake and Koume (fusing to Twinrova). This could be a good way to expand the TOTK story while connecting the dots between the Imprisoning War and the History of Calamity Ganon.

They also acted like parental figures Zelda needed whereas King Rhoam is being too damn cold and unsupportive towards his daughter, and forbid her to interact with Sheikah technology. Rauru and Sonia however has given the kind of love and care she has never had before. Thus, they are interested in meeting with Zelda’s appointed knight and lover Link. They have become my new favorite Legend of Zelda characters, and I hoped we can see more of them in future dlc.

That is a bit of a misunderstanding. Rhoam wasn’t always a hard father to Zelda. He was a good father to her once upon a time. But after the late queen died, there was a change. He focused on Zelda being ready for her duties. He always cared, but his duties as a king always came ahead of his duties as a father. And he was right, the kingdom does matter more than the feelings of its princess. I don’t discount Zelda’s feelings are important, they are, she just didn’t have the right support she needed at the time. It was a misguided attempt on the king’s behalf and we all know he’ll never make it up to her. That’s the real tragedy.

Also in btow and totk links shika slate entry’s are in the first person and he speaks about Zelda in a romantic tone witch strongly imply that he loves her and with the silent princess flower symbolism at the end it confirms it for me. But one detail that was lost in translation of totk that seals the deal for me is the part where Zelda says I’m home. Basically in the Japanese version of the game she says tamida(misspelled) witch in that tone and context in Japanese is only something you say to someone you are lovers with or family.

I feel like both Sonia and Rarau KNEW at the beginning the outcome. I feel like Rarau in the memory when Minaru is talking about the forbidden act about becoming a immortal dragon, he says something like "a way to reach the future, but not a very quick one." like he knew about it. Sonia knew a lot of things about Zelda like her power to dispell evil. I know alot of people said this, but I think she knows the outcome. I love that they act like parents to Zelda. Like the parents she deserved. Her father was hard on her...way to hard that he couldn't really be the loving father that she needed and the support. So let me piece something together here.. About that triforce...the memory when Rarau, Sonia and Zelda use their powers to defeat the molduga...does anyone NOTICE the triangle that appears like a split second before the blast? I didn't realize until I watched the memory three or four times, but could it be? I thought that could be the triforce? I also believe the secret stones are somewhat connected since they used them to create the blast. Raraus third eye does appear and he shapes his hands like a triangle? Does that mean something? Zonai did desend from the heavens so I think they knew about it the triforce. Sonia also knew about Zelda having a power of like light. So if they had a child...maybe that child passed the triforce down threw generations threw the royal bloodline. In conclusion of Zelda traveling back in time found the king and queen and took place a little after Skyward sword. Rarau I believe could be the hero and I think this was said like too many times Sonia is another form of Zelda? I know thats far fetched Rarau being the hero, but Zelda, Ganondorf or ganon and the hero have to reborn. Which makes me believe that the master sword was somewhere in the kingdom maybe just not discovered?
