I don't think Rauru and Mineru were the last of the Zonai all together i just think that they were the last of the ones that decided to descend from their home in the heavens

The line from Demise includes "Those who carry the blood of the goddess." Obviously, Tingle, Beedle, Impa, etc. are all descended from the goddess, but their lines diverged from the royal line. It's happened throughout history a ton, with pretty much everyone being descended from royalty somewhere back up the line.

Dark Link is easily one of BIGGEST mysteries of The Legend of Zelda games. 😮

Nintendo claimed that the Foundation of Hyrule in TotK is not the very first Foundation between Skyward Sword and the Minish Cap but a refoundation after the end of every Timeline where Hyrule once got destroyed and refounded by the Zonai

Since minish cap takes place before Ocarina of time it could be explained that during the civil war(from which Links mother was running) all knowledge regarding minish was lost.

A large theory on the Rito is that they came from a place outside of Hyrule - Like Yona came from another Zora’s Domain

Forest temple was implied to be a fortress of the royal family that was repurposed at sone point before becoming haunted by the undead and ghost enemies. Then it ended up being the forest temple

TLoZ Majora's Mask is my most favourite not because of its creepiness but also how dark and mysterious everything is etc.

The Fierce Deity is one of the biggest mysteries IMO…

Flat and Sharp, the Composer Brothers, are in OOT. MM is an alternative timeline, but it's a fair assumption that the song was still written by them in OOT.

I think it's possible that the land beyond the canyon in breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom is probably North Hyrule from Zelda 2. Breath of the wild map lines up pretty well with the Twilight princess map and the Zelda encyclopedia shows us how that lines up with other games maps including Zelda 2 but that is just my take on it.

For the Kokiri, I always thought that since Link did not need protection since he now had family to live with so the Kokiri changed back to their normal appearance

My biggest question is, what happened to the divine beasts after BotW? They are not present or even mentioned inTotK. Something so big (literaly) is hard to hide.

I'm personally of the opinion that BotW/TotK is set in the timeline _waaaay_ back in Skyward Sword that was created when Link crushed The Imprisoned/Demise, then disappeared chasing after Ghirahim & Zelda into the past. This is the Hyrule that the Zonai descended to and created their own Hyrule Kingdom - one where the symbolism of the Triforce is known but the artifact itself is lost as is the truth behind Hylia. Meaning that Link defeating Demise, the famous curse, and their "return" to the present was really an entirely new timeline from which the rest of the Zelda series is based upon. After all, the Imprisoned couldn't exist if he (as Demise) was destroyed in the past - the entirety is Skyward Sword is based on the timeline where Link chases Ghirahim & Zelda into the past, dies at the hand of Demise, who is then "Imprisoned" by Zelda/Hylia.

Actually the Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask Manga answers more about the mask including how it was actually created. Formed from the hide of a monstrous beast, whose hide was supposedly able to grant any wish, a lone warrior, forced the beast with a magic drum to dance endlessly for three days and nights as the souls of the beast’s victims forced him to do so. When the beast had breathed its last, the warrior carved Majora’s Mask from his hide, to seal the wishing powers.

4:54 WHAT ??! The Hero’s Shade, aka the Hero of Time, is officially the Hero of Twilight’s ancestor !

my favorite trope in Zelda is Link being lazy af and sleeping in almost every Zelda opening

Ganondorf's backstory should of been on your list. While he is the reincarnation of Demise's hatred, we do not know what his life is like before becoming the Gerudo King (or King of Thieves) and transformed into the Demon King. Let alone understanding his true desire since we have seen a part of his awe on the green lands of Hyrule over the harsh environment of Gerudo Deserts in Windwaker.

The “The Song of Storms”, the song that wrote itself.

10:56 Navi left Link in OoT because she accomplished her mission given by the Deku Tree. Link is not actually a Kokiri, but a Hylian (he was left by his mom when he was a baby escaping from the evil). That's the reason Navi left him :)

It terms of the timeline, I believe Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are the ONLY games on the timeline and every other game is a story/legend. I’ve read other comments comparing The Depths to The Dark World which I think the Depths mirrors Lorule more than The Dark World. I do think Skyward Sword happens because the statues of the goddess Hylia are everywhere but I think it occurs differently than the game describes since Ganondorf appears as “The Demon King” in the flashbacks. I also believe that the three dragons were Zonai who swallowed their stones and became dragons but are also the inspiration for the story of the Golden Goddesses. Also an interesting mystery is they Triforce carving has the three symbols from the orbs you have to retrieve in Wind Waker, interesting coincidence?

I gave up trying to fit BoTW and ToTK into any of the three canon timelines. There's just too many unanswered variables to deal with. I like to think that while these games were hinted as being at the tail-end of the timeline, they're actually part of a brand new timeline. One where the Zonai had to overcome some kind of great event that led to their near extinction, where the goddesses hold a more active role in shaping the world, and where there's a broader world outside of Hyrule, as hinted by Sidon's wife. Who knows; if we ever get a Hyrule Historia vol.2 maybe we'll get some official answers. Cheers!

If Nintendo was willing to make a Zelda MMO they could involve almost every major Race. Deku Scrubs, Kokiri/Korok, Goron, Zora, Gerudo, Rito, Twili, Zonai, Picori, Shiekah, Hylian, etc. Some of them may not become playable (at least at first) but most would/could.

The real mystery is who taught the inhabitants to celebrate/party so well. Everyone looks so happy. 😂😂

Majora’s mask kinda does explains it by the manga after reading the whole thing, even brought up the fierce deity, who is the lone traveler after hearing the rumors of a man eating monster (Mojora), the lone traveler kinda tells the monster, oh you don’t have anything or anyone to eat. But the monster kinda does feel regretful (I read the book and I didn’t get that vibe from the man eating monster feeling regret at all, it’s just me ig) and after the lone traveler played music for him, three days and nights, that’s when time was able to move in where the traveler and monster were, (Termina) thus the traveler taking a part of the armor the monster had and making it Mojora’s mask.

I think the reason why tingle is reincarnated is because he’s ganon. Think about it tingle is always overcharging for maps. That’s something only a demon king would do. Beedle just ages very well.

Song of Storms: The original song is presented on Majora's Mask. In fact, it is a paradox. But on an alternative point where Link doesn't learnt before, he would learn after all the first journey.

@17:08 I think its people who aid link that are reincarnated along side him and added to the cycle of life and rebirth

It's not just the ocarina of Time the master sword has the ability to control time as well it actually has several forgotten abilities in skyward sword which was the making of the master sword it was originally called The goddess sword I think Fi is the goddess of time because I skyward sword you need to upgrade the master sword giving it enough sacred power to hit slabs of stone with a skyward strike creating a Time gate and in ocarina of Time putting the master sword back in the pedestal transported link through Tim. it also explains why the master sword can repair itself no matter the the damage it takes and it has the potential to be infinitely powerful if bathed in sacred power long enough

I always assumed that the Zora became the Rito by divine intervention. The Goddesses flooded the land to protect their people and I figured transformed the Zora to keep the people from truly dying out.

They did say that Zelda travels back to the beginning of a new kingdom of Hyrule in totk but the timeline is still a mystery I think it's supposed to be a merging of the timelines just to make things easier with a more uniform singular timeline from here on out.

Would you guys ever do a Top 10 for the Destiny franchise from Bungie Inc. Like top 10 exotics, top 10 soundtracks or top 20 bosses

I believe The Eldin Dark Skeleton might be Volvagia, and The Gerudo Dark Skeleton could be Stallord(We never saw the rest of his body.) But I just can't figure out what the Hebra Dark Skeleton could be.

There's only one mystery that keeps me up at night throughout all the games- WHY IS IT ALWAYS CALLED THE LEGEND OF ZELDA IF SHE BARELY DOES ANYTHING!!!!

I wonder if the Zonai is the connection between the Rito and the Zorra, since they are land-based, air-based, and water-based respectively. Pair them with the Gorons, and you have one race for every ancient element, with the Gorons representing fire.

i'm pretty sure Nintendo had intended that every Legend of Zelda game were going to be a standalone title like how most of the Final Fantasy games are. hence, why the games are all over the place. the reason they released that book that explains the timeline and how they're all connected was for money.

BOTW and TOTK take place at the end of all 3 timelines, but DON’T take place right at the merging. Zelda’s Time Travel Adventure is possibly right at the merging or just after.

I have started to think that that Breath of the Wild and Tears of that Kingdom are a separate timeline or Universe.

0:12 ah yes my favourite game twilight princess hd

The biggest mystery of all that was never mentioned in this video and till this day I still think about… IS THE MASK SALESMAN! The guy is creepy and he has powers! How does he travel through the forest without a fairy and not turn into a Stalfos!? Where does he get his powers from!? How did he learn the “Song of Healing? Why does he magically appear and disappear at will!? Why is it that the only place where time stands still is inside the clock tower where ironically the mask salesman so happens to be there!? Why did he wanted to obtain the Majora’s Mask in the first lance when he knew that mask was powerful enough to destroy the world!? So many questions and even when you beat Majora’s Mask you never get answers.

Isn’t Sonia the goddess of time? I would assume her manipulation of time and her being one of the founders of Hyrule alongside her Zonai god husband, Rauru, would make her a goddess of time, right?

The barbarian armour bares some resemblance to the guards in the past of TotK. They were Hylians.

Regarding the timeline placement of BOTW and TOTK, I've always thought the timeline was overrated. Becoming engrossed in the lore and history of the game at hand's lore and history as described in the game has always been sufficient for me.

I think in TOTK Hylia as the goddes of Time was comfirmed.

Nice

There are 5 burning mysteries that had left us from both #BreathoftheWild and #TearsoftheKingdom: -Other religions/lands outside of Hyrule (since Sidon's wife Yona is from a different Zora's domain and possibly tied to your 'Across the Canyon'(13:14) ) - The Ancient Hero, Sheikah Tech and the history of Calamity Ganon - Link's family since we have seen his father and sister from the BOTW concept art - The origins of the Zonai since Mineru and King Rauru are the only members - Ganondorf's true desire and motives other then conquering Hyrule with Sonai's Sacred Stone. - Twinrova's whereabouts (Since we have seen Kotake and Koume made brief appearance in both Gerudo Assult and A Show of Fealty memories and their names are written in the Gloom weapons)

They actually have a non canon explanation of majora in the manga a beast of enormous power that eats anyone who challenges him but some traveler played a song that the beast danced to of 3 day and 3 nights then one the 4th day they beast drops dead his power was sealed in his armor and the traveler carved his armor to Majora's mask and said his power will rest for the rest of time

Botw/totk are in the decline timeline because thats the only timeline with the imprisoning war from totk

0:12 I don’t think that’s Twilight Princess HD 😂

I would love the kokiri to come back one day but it appears koroks have replaced them

Hyrule Warriors marks the beginning of the Reunified Timeline. Its sequel, Age Of Calamity, is a prequel to Breath Of The Wild. I figured out the masked kids looked like the salesman by looking at their hair.

Bruh the just got new info about the timeline in the latest interview with the team, what do you mean they want to leave it behind.

Navi the 🧚‍♂️ isn't really a mystery because if you remember in ocarina of time she was involved from the beginning of the game by the tree spirit in the original forest (link,s starting point in the game itself)but when the sword was returned back to the pedestal navi,s job was done so she left🤔

How is Zelda a descendent of Sonia and Rauru if they both died before having children

"With nothing official" the timeline is on Nintendo's website and puts the 2 latest games at a converging point

I hope that eventually, Nintendo takes the timeline into modern day. Hyrule Kingdom but with modern weapons, and technology.

Termina is on the other side of the canyon.

Clearly, every mystery does require an answer

Nintendo never should've given into the fan theories about timelines; it was made clear to me they regretted it with the way BotW and TotK treated the timelines.

I thought Breath and Tears took place in the timeline where the hero loses

I think botw totk is another branch

And what happens to me in Tears of the kingdom I’m no where to be found

how did the hand fall in love though

-I still think BOTW's timeline takes place in the Downfall Timeline. There is a stone slab that mentions something about Ruto becoming a sage which did not happen in the child timeline. The Zora's are apparently extinct in the Adult timeline and the old Hyrule doesn't really exist anymore. Spirit Tracks is in a completely different land. -Well the Song of Storms is clearly in the land of Termina. Don't know how it ended up in Hyrule though. -I think the Interlopers are the Sheikah or maybe Gerudo or both. -Where the hell is Link's family in Skyward Sword? Are they dead? In the Twilight Princess manga Link is apparently an outsider and hasn't always lived in Ordon Village. Makes sense since he's the only Hylian living there. Everyone else is a normal human. -6:26 I give this ghost hand a boyfriend. Since this guy will get rejected by the girl he admires I decide to give him another girlfriend. 6:57 Don't ask me what I want the paper for... I think she wants to wipe her butt with it. -I think the Rito look different in Breath of the Wild because it's another timeline. The Zora that left Zora's Domain evolved into the Rito. -Isn't Navi dead? -I think the Sheikah in Breath of the Wild are all descendants of Impa. -15:37 I actually have made this soup. I think I should make it again soon since it's pumpkin season. In the Twilight Princess manga, the old ruin house was featured as Ashei's former home before her family abandons it. Her manga counterparts knows about the Yeti couple who moved into her old house and after she learns that they aren't a danger, Ashei allows them to make the ice covered ruin house their home. -I assume the other reappearing characters are relatives of the previous one. -20:00 I don't think the Gerudo existed yet so it probably wasn't Ganon.

The biggest mystery of Tears of the Kingdom… if the first born daughter of every King and Queen of Hyrule is, by tradition, named Zelda, why is the first Queen of Hyrule NOT named Zelda?!?!

The tribe banished to the twilight realm were the gerudo thats why they are nonexistant in twilight princess.

I would give anything to play ocarina of time again

I think one of the BIGGEST mysteries is how in skyward sword they have floating islands and it reappears in tears of the kingdom. Why does it reappear so long after skyward sword happened?

0:11 That's not Twilight Princess🤨🤨🤔🤔

The Goddess of Time is represented by the upside triangle space in the center of the Triforce when all 3 respective Triforce Shards are together making the Iconic Triforce sysmbol.

Half the time I feel like MojoPlays hosts just love to hear themselves talk - a good part of these are literally explained, ironically enough, by other parts in the series you also note as “unsolved” - instead of giving us lazy clickbait, actually providing resolutions to formerly unsolved mysteries may actually help your channel. 🙄

Dark Link is not hard boss

Did this guy do any research on the correct pronunciations of character names? There were so many cringey moments in this thanks to him sounding like a total Zelda noob
