How to reconcile the timeline inconsistencies using religion in BotW. I want to discuss something that was said on HMK's channel a few days ago. I was watching the 5th Dimension when I heard something that would help explain a lot of inconsistencies in the world of BotW. As AustinJohn said in the video at 1:09:50, the three Goddesses are omnipotent and they can see events in all three timelines. However, instead of the Queen or Zelda receiving the visions as was stated, the visions were sent to the "fortune teller" that King Rhoam referred to in his journal. Now, what does this have to do with religion? Well, fortune teller can be a synonym for a prophet. What if the fortune teller is actually an unnamed priest or priestess of the church? Master Works speculates that it was the Queen, a high ranking official or a trusted advisor. Throughout history, most state leaders have had a trusted religious advisor. Some still do. It makes no sense that it would be the Queen or Zelda because if it were, then why would the King refer to them as simply a "fortune teller" and not by their name or title? I think that this rules out the Queen and Zelda. That would mean the "fortune teller" is someone outside the royal family yet close enough to have the confidence of the King and be in the good graces of the three Goddesses enough to be the recipient of their visions. A trusted religious advisor would fit that description. How does it fix the timeline inconsistencies? A prophet tells the royal family about the visions they're receiving from the Goddesses while the church spreads these stories throughout Hyrule. These visions are of events depicted in the other timelines and are passed on. Not in print, but orally, where they are slightly changed in each telling. Eventually, the truth is muddled by countless retellings and are largely dismissed as mere "stories and fairy tales". Yet, the royal family know otherwise, having heard it straight from the prophets so they trust them and their "fortune telling". Fast forward to before the calamity and King Rhoam has just been visited by the prophet, warning of Calamity Ganon's rise and that the key to his defeat lies underground. He believes the "fortune teller" and immediately begins massive excavations across Hyrule. They accidentally discover a Divine Beast and believing that this is what the prophecy was referencing, they begin searching for other Divine Beasts in earnest. The Shiekah, upon the discovery of the Divine Beast, tell their legend of the legions of Guardians once used to aid the Hero and Princess against the previous Calamity Ganon. The search for the Guardians also begins. Then of course, you have the events of the game, the Divine Beasts and Guardians are found, new Champions are chosen, then the Calamity revives. I've always felt that religion played an extremely important role in Hyrulean society before the calamity. There are cathedrals and temples all over the kingdom, especially concentrated in Hyrule Castle Town, Central Hyrule and the Great Plateau, the population and religious centers of Hyrule. Not to mention the Goddess statues in each major settlement. You have a religion sharing the visions of the three Goddesses with the people leading to a general acceptance of alternate timeline events and a prophet directly sharing visions from the Goddesses of alternate and future events with the royal family. That's how Zelda knew about events in alternate timelines, that's how the different races know about people and events from alternate timelines, that's how locations came to be named after people and locations in the alternate timelines and now we can understand what role religion played and how it fit into Hyrulean society. I've tried to get others to listen on a number of occasions but so far have found... unsympathetic ears.

Is this the vid you were talking about in alttp stream part 2

FallingKingdom3 Yeyy

Korok mask reveals poo

ArcticFlygon You got it 🤣

And if you crouch behind a chest he will punch it and hurt his hand

And if he’s shirtless, he’ll look at his arms and flex them.

@@velocivoid7974 😂😂😂

if he’s underdressed in one of the cold areas he cups his hands and blows into them to keep warm, And i’ve also always loved how there’s a difference in animation to when you eat something on a skewer to something on a plate

I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, so just go talk to Paya undressed and see what happenes 😂 while your at it ask abou ther story too😂

TRUE LMAO 😂

lol if he wanted to keep them he needs to stop simping like a noob

Yeah but I must go fæst

LMFAO TRUEEE

Dude if I had a drink I would’ve choked don’t do that

Thanks for dropping a comment 🙏

You could get a pc in 90s and watch videos about it now

AND THE KZfaqR STILL READS THE COMMENT SECTION WHAAAAAAAAA

Always :)

I got it late too....

I always say Raveli intestead of Revali. When I say it right I say Ravioli.

I think ravioli makes mor sense for ravio

I now say ravioli for two reasons, my brother will get confused, and it’s funny

Lol

I’m kind of partial to “Birdman” myself

Yeyy it’s the one thing I missed lol. I’ll add it to the stats later today when I post them. Thank you.

Cool. Good to know. But you could either do a bullet time launch, or a wind bomb

WhyWeCantHaveNiceThings, Limcube has a tutorial.

Yeah I know.

It boosts its acceleration not it’s velocity

Ravioli is such a meme people just use it unironically now

wait...his name isn't actually ravioli?

It's his actual name, though.

@@deathrayman8074 I though it was revali

It is revali but people call him ravioli

It’s dope finding out new peeps are enjoying this amazing title. Glad you found my video 💪 Good luck with MM!

I got my Switch one year ago, bought all the big games. I’ve played BotW almost exclusively. It’s just such a rich and immersive world, it’s about 1,000x better than everything else.

just brilliant ai, yeah flashback to the time a lizalfos did their little jumping thing an ended up killing themself because of it

I actually saw that too!

"brilliant AI" Yeah, that same AI once got stuck in an endless loop of getting shocked by me wearing a bokolin mask

Same with the Sand Boots and Snow Boots

I've actually worn the thunder helm and sand boots in gerudo it's weird

Weird how you can literally save the fucking world and they still don’t let you in without a disguise.

You are exactly who I made this for 🤘 Hope the guide helped at least a little bit. Thank you, it’s comments like this that drive me to continue uploading content. Appreciate you

@@RMFHGaming thank you for this, just got the game month ago and this video is extremely helpful

Happy be learned birthday!

RMFH Left a like on the vid! I just got botw last week

I bought it too, and it's been pretty great! I can't wait for part 2. It's pretty addicting. I wish there was a way to play the Ocarina of Time soundtrack or Majoras Mask as DLC while playing too. Only thing missing imo.

Only Option Is To Sell 7 Clothes /:

Prob to sell the necklaces and headresses?

Sell the necklaces and the old set since both are basically useless. Now you have 99 pieces of armor

@@christopherhumphrey5702, Sell Monster Masks and Jewelry

@@paulrance5445 noooo the monster mask are the best, I use the whenever I just wanna explore without fighting and are the best for that.

Nice find! I’m going to have to try this. Thank you for sharing.

It’s for every armor that can be dyed, black is the only dye color that changes the shade of set colored pieces like metal rims, edges and accessories on said sets

white can do that too in some sets, and sometimes other colors can too

Same reason I refuse to use it despite it having higher defense. I can’t sneak around and it’s bulky and ugly. (To me)

Same!! It’s easier to get materials with the stealth suit, you move faster at night, the materials needed to upgrade it fully are fairly easy to get, so it can be a very solid completely upgraded set early game. I Leroy Jenkins-ed myself on the great plateau and got my butt severely kicked (not to mention getting jump scared by the freaking stone talus I thought was a korok location), so I spent the rest of my first playthrough being very cautious and sneaking around and avoiding the roads to avoid monsters because Link felt like he was made of glass early game.

Bro I'm like 400 hours deep with multiple play throughs and I've never purchased the soldier armor before lmao. I've also used the stealth set for like 90% of my play through to sneak up on enemies, run in the dark and coz it looks cool

I almost always wear the stealth set too, but not to avoid combat. I use it to sneak up on bugs and frogs and lizards without having to crouch.

As soon as I got the soldier set I pretty much just deleted it lol

You can have infinite armour storage

@@alextmb3166 : mods?

@@alextmb3166 not infinite but allot for sure

Right. Or at least a little room link awakens in you can store your items in a closet and/or chest

Did you already upgrade slots with korok seeds?

It would've made more sense thematically to put it in the forest province or desert.

Ocarina of Time is the best

@@burger_kinghorn Maybe, except for the fact that in both Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, Faron is pretty solidly confirmed to be the forest province.

@@ToaMeikhaal BOTW made it more jungle/rainforest like. More like the Southern Swamp from Majora's Mask.

Thank you!! 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it 😊

True

I absolutely love the way you made the game here! Kudos my friend! 👏

Just stumbled upon your channel and this video is great 👍 massive respect from Glasgow 🇬🇧

Thank you!! I’m glad I can help the community in anyway possible. Appreciate you leave such a nice comment ❤️

Um...

Did not know that

Wow that was a fast response, thank you for your hard work, new sub

Seriously. Thank you so much for leaving this comment. It’s these types of replies that keep me on this journey. I’ll keep making content as long as you keep staying awesome 👏

@@RMFHGaming This is just completly wholesome you made my day, keep up the good work!

I’m gonna start back playing this today kinda forgot how things work tho

I love all your videos ❤️

Glad to be of service 😁 Figured it would help out at least a few peeps. Thanks for dropping a comment!

It's because the in-game description doesn't say anything about those. It's only by experimenting fans found out. The dash/jump bonuses from upgraded climber and Zora sets are the only good use for them (aside from waterfall swimming). Each piece makes you move faster when climbing or swimming but you burn through stamina faster too. They are not more efficient.

Is it a way to keep the 107 pieces of armor ? Or are you stuck with 100?

@Student Gavin Mcgrory I can confirm it to be true, and it's cool, well it won't up your speed on either of thoses it is quicker to jump or dash anyways so doesn't matter much unless it's raining or you need to get up a water fall.

IKR there are so many things to do in that game so many secrets botw is rn my favorite game it's like infinite content and things to do such a cool game.

Take your time with it! I've had mine a couple years and found a new shrine yesterday lol the game is massive

Same bro, except I have been playing since 2018 and I still struggle with a lynel

Right!?! It’s massive. Have a dope play through.

I always get the headband and buy the rest from tarrey town.

It’s so scattered around the map which is annoying

I appreciate it! Thanks 😊

Thank you so much ❤️

Now try speed running mate. It's fun

Thank you! Appreciate you dropping a comment on both videos ❤️ Have a great weekend and lmk if you need any help with Age of Calamity.

Happy to hear it helped! This right here is the reason I make these videos. Thanks for sharing all that with me I greatly appreciate it 😄 Hope I can help ya out again when BotW 2 releases.

are you challenging me? i beat gannon like 50 times also killed lynels had all the armor except the amibos but i did not get all the srines sadly

I beat Gannon for fun like 10 or 20 times

I also got all armor all pictures and all shrines

All shrines, memories, korogu, medals, saddles, armors + upgrades + make the glitches for 30 hearts and 3 wheels stamina + dlc + all quests, side quests and shrine quests. 2 times Now I commanded the nfc cards and I am going to upgrade all armors max

Thank you!! Glad it helped :D

Why did you comment twice?

@@Link-to-the-Smash Sometimes KZfaq does that, when you comment it sometimes comments it twice.

Link, Hero of Legend why not

@@JACG just asking.

Thank you!! 🙏

Yeah I saw that yesterday. No biggie I’ll add it to the stats list in the description later today. Those hidden abilities got me xD

Thanks, I didnt mean to sound like I was just complaining though, it was an amazing video

PointCrow: "WOW really!? that so cool!" *Proceeds to BTB across the entirety of Hyrule in one swoop*

phantom set is surpassed by barbarian set later wich also gives charged ATK stamina up (reducing stamina cost for charged attack) when upgrading all pieces of barbarian to lvl 2

but you can start with phantom at the beggining

Why? The barbarian set I found way more useful, and in master mode Majoras mask was more than helpful. I rarely saw a reason to use the stealth armors

@@brotbrotsen1100 Why would you not wear the Sheika Set aka the stealth armor in non combat situations? It's extremely helpful because it allows you to travel silently, sneaking up on both enemies and wildlife much easier. Not to mention the awesome speed bonus at night. That is one of the best bonuses of any armor set. If you're someone who hunts & whatnot like you should be, it makes that MUCH easier, specially for collecting insects & other small animals. You can literally do a full speed walk right up to them & just grab them if you have a full Level 3 Stealth buff! You can't be sprinting of course, but this just makes collecting & hunting so much easier. Being able to use full walk speed while sneaking instead of having to crouch & crawl is a huge benefit. Therefore it is always my default armor suit that I wear when traveling. I only switch it out when in a combat situation, which is honestly not that often. It happens to look great too:) Like 80% of your time is spent traversing the land, so you should be wearing it more than any other armor set. That's the way I look at it anyway. Everyone plays this game differently, so whatever floats your boat. Oh yeah, also worth noting that it's helpful for getting the drop on foes, & then you can just sneakstrike lock them to victory with no resistance whatsoever. Hopefully you at least know how to do that maneuver by now, it's very simple to do.

@@skins4thewin I know ho to do it, i finished the game 2 times normally and once in master mode. I always took my time and explored and never had much problems just catching the insects i found or just equipped the stealth armor when i saw something i wanted or specifically farmed for something. For normal traveling i used a horse with the ancient horse armor, in master mode i avoided fights usually unless i needed monster materials and in normal mode fighting was simple enough and you had a huge amount of possibilities with the sheika slate or even balloons to get creative, stealth killing was a bit to bland after a while, i had more fun flying in with a drop attack or sending them a balloon with a bomb before starting the proper battle.

Thanks!!

🙏

@Gavio Gaming, you were in the comments of the last video I watched...

Nope that’s not it. I’m afraid if I give a hint it’ll give it away entirely. Hmm, it’s in the back half of the video. Try looking from end game armor and on.

Was it you wearing nothing in Death Mountain?

It might actually be Ravioli.

@@paulrance5445 check the replies to his comment

Yep, IDK if that’s a joke tho.

Nice! Good luck on your journey 💪 I have a guide for all of the shrines you can checkout if you need kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ipaao6abqZa2aZc.htmlfeature=shared Thanks for dropping a comment
