Ruin? Sheeh okay "Igor"

Bearadactyl Prime but then THAT sounds like the Sheikah prophesied that a Hero would come to fulfil a clause in the prophecy of ruin, and that they made the shrines to train the hero to be ready.

Nanobreak what a strange way to spell Gru.

Debate able. Prophecy’s tend to predict two outcomes. One good one bad. The prophecy of Calamity Ganon’s return prediction’s destruction if not stopped but salvation if the hero and princess are successful. Those lines are meant to say that links triumph over the trial leads to the good outcome of the prophecy.

@AllDay28 I think it was the time stone.

The way the Endgame story reflects that of BotW is actually surprisingly similar. These Sheikah Monks/Doctor Strange who can see the future create guardians for Ganon/give time stone to Thanos, knowing it will result in the fall of Hyrule/Thanos Snap. Then, over a period of 100/5 years, the world becomes desolate and empty. Then, a hero rises and brings Hyrule/the world back from the brink of defeat due to Sheikah Monks’/Doctor Strange’s plan. Maybe I’m thinking a little to deeply but whatever I don’t care Edit: AllDay28 already said it goddamnit I need to read the replies first before I reply

Also Skyward Sword Link with his nightmares

That's more of a passive foresight if you ask me, like a message of the goddess... The Sheika seems to be able to actively see into the future

I figured someone had brought this up before me. It's true but in comparison to Zelda's ability and the sheika's ability to do it, it's not much. Both are valid but he is a bit inaccurate.

I believe visions like those of the nightmares would not fall into the same category as foresight, more just like visions, possible outcomes or horrors but nothing set in stone, especially because those visions usually lead to the hero defeating the villain before the nightmare vision comes true.

@@imnotonaboat2 Ocarina of Time Link's dream came true exactly. Skyward Sword and Link Between Worlds saw The Imprisoned and Ganon before they even knew what those two looked like. That sounds pretty accurate to me

They also acknowledge their power/skills so much that the monks willingly "sacrifice" themselves to become part of the shrines. Very selfless culture overall

my guess is that the sheikah, having enough wisdom to not tempt fate, foresaw not only the calamity, but also the heros eventual triumph, they knew that following that which they foresaw perfectly would end with the hero succeeding, while changing their actions would cause a butterfly effect that would change the future in unpredictable ways, potentially dooming hyrule forever. basically a sure way to gain 1 win, is preferable to a chance to gain 2, when that also involves the chance of getting 0.

@@windhelmguard5295 It's understandable to play it safe when the stakes are so high and the timespan is so long.

🤣🤣 Sometimes I think that Nintendo really didn't have a plan for all the time line melarchy, but the fans came up with great ideas so they were like.. Let's run with this hahah

Yep

@@ravenng5 there was no chronology to the series until after MM. That's when Nintendo had to put together a timeline because fans kept asking what order the games happen in

​ @Briney Canning ​@@ReaperShadow23 You never have seen or read interviews of Eji Aunuma and Miyamoto, have you? - There's been a timeline since the Zelda II Adventure of Link, a direct sequel to the OG LoZ. - A Link to the Past was mentioned in interviews as a prequel to OG LoZ, taking centuries before. - Ocarina of Time was mentioned in interviews as a prequel to ALttP a century earlier with a different outcome. Majora's Mask was a direct sequel. - Link's Awakening was marketed as a sequel to ALttP, followed by Oracle of Seasons and Ages also marketed as sequels to LA. - The Wind Waker outright mentions the aftermath of Ocarina of Time in it's Prologue, but ignoring Majora's Mask. The 6 Sages are heavily featured and the Hero of Time is worshiped as a Hero. Phantom Hourglass is marketed as a direct sequel. - Twilight Princess was mentioned in interviews as a sequel to OoT, parallel to ALttP and Wind Waker, but on a separate Timeline from both. Aonuma and Miyamoto even jokingly claimed TP Link is the same Link as WW, albeit on a separate timeline. - Spirit Tracks is a marketed as a sequel to WW and PH, taking place about 100 years later. Nico is even still alive, yet very old. - Four Swords was the first not marketed on the Timeline, but Minish Cap was mentioned in interviews as being first in the timeline to which Four Swords as a Sequel to FS, also predating OoT. - Four Swords Adventure mentioned in interviews as a sequel to Four Sword and includes Shadow Link and Ganon, therefore is a Sequel to OoT. - Skyward Sword is marketed as the very first Zelda in the timeline featuring the very first Link and Zelda before the birth of the Kingdom of Hyrule. - A Link Between Worlds was marketed as a sequel to ALttP (though originally a remake) but not featuring the same Link and Zelda. TriForce Heroes was marketed a direct sequel. - Breath of the Wild was initially mentioned in interviews to be a reboot of the series, but what was actually meant was a reboot of the formula, especially of the OG LoZ, as far the Timeline, it is mentioned in interviews that it was up to fans to decide, though once enough copies were released and enough people had time to play the game to completion, it was later revealed that BotW takes places at the far end of all three timelines. Any claim that the Zelda Timeline was an afterthought because of fan demand are made in total ignorance, considering there has always been a timeline, and interviews with Aunuma and Miyamoto, as well as some marketing, prove it.

It's likely then that the ancient Sheikah prophesied NOT the return of the Hero...but the eventual destruction of Hyrule. Which could mean that either Link's return was a separate prophesy...or just "wishful thinking" and a "just in case the return of the legendary hero remains true to form".

@Pascal Sick the timeline isent particularly canon. To nintendo it's just a straightforward timeline where ganon and link keep getting reincarnated. The timeline is a fan creation. So he isent wrong.

Pascal Sick Word of God won’t ever be canonical, sorry. And that’s even if the “timeline(s)” didn’t literally contradict themselves with the placement of various games. And *Ganondorf* was defeated. However, Malladus could quite possibly be a portion of Demise’s Malice that separated around the time of the Floods, migrated to New Hyrule, and became Malladus. (It’s...literally in the name, with “Malice” revisited in BotW, and ST and SS both being developed simultaneously.) So the Curse still lives on, which is pretty much as evidenced by yet another Link and Zelda showing up at all. (You know. Besides “more games”.)

@Pascal Sick Malice always finds a way... And don't think Ganon is ever done. ...he isn't... *evil Ganondorf laughter in the distance* Buuut really. Time will tell if WW Ganon ever reappears again. By some other force of nature, he does constantly reappear even when his defeat is certain. But who knows? Ganon in Zelda 1 and 2 is canonically killed off permanently...riiiight?

@@shsltrash820 how did you get to this channel without knowing the timeline was canon

Gaspard Savoureux it was in my recommended and i was bored. I’m not as invested in LOZ lore like I am In other series

I think that the ancient hero knew he would reincarnate as a new Link. He is technically not talking about himself, but rather the next Link.

Uhhhh hi?

Ye, I agree too.

A GAME THEORY

:O

I like that. It also leaves him weaker for Zelda to contain over the course of Link's 100 year slumber.

Unless someone works for Nintendo it's all just amateur speculation. It's a cool theory bud don't sell yourself short

I was actually thinking the same exact thing. Use the actual weapons as bait and hide the true weapon, the monks' power for Link.

blinkin I was under the impression that Gabon’s power was limited by Zelda for the last century. If unencumbered, the guardians would most likely all be up and running, terrorizing the land.

"if his power were truly limitless then most if not all of the guardians would still be functioning and maintaining control over Hyrule" Can you explain?

@@mathew4430 And Ganondorf is somehow required for saving Hyrule. Cliffhanger of my live

Susak Fete I think it’s talking about the green energy that is holding ganondorf that grabs link.

Link wasn't dormant or beneath the ground when the prophecy was originally spoken

Sponsie1000 I was looking for this comment!

“When we expect certain behaviors of others, we are likely to act in ways that make the expected behavior more likely to occur” (Rosenthal & Babad, 1985). Think to the story of Oedipus, where his father, attempting to avert the prophecy of him dying by his son's hands, abandoned his son to die. He was later killed by Oedipus, his son (though neither knew that they were related).

😄😄

The great Discord Link

Hyaah!

Haaah!

Big brain 🧠

And the prophesied "power to oppose [the Calamity] lies dormant beneath the ground" wasn't referring to the Guardians or the Divine Beasts, it was referring to Link in the Shrine of Resurrection. If it was built as a healing facility like Zelda hypothesized in her journal, why is there only room in it for ONE person?

Maybe but it could of been a different way. Remember mipha was going to tell zelda the secret to unlocking the power then calamity ganon just happened to appear right at that moment. If things had went a different way and there were no divine beast mipha may of had a chance to tell zelda the secret and she would of unlocked it anyways. So possibly but seeing mipha was going to tell zelda and even gasped when urbosa said "we just need to find that thing" its almost like mipha knew the secret it's likely in my opinion that she struggled with her healing power until meeting link and whenever she thought of link since that was her love the healing power came natural. Mipha was well intuned so we can't forget about her. Or maybe not even mipha could of been someone else that zelda may come across Similar to mipha but it technically didn't have to go the way it did. Even in age of calamity zelda unlocks her sealing power over link but it happened in a much different way without the guradians. If we have a timeline where the shekiah technology doesn't exist I mean who knows how things would of went.

Maybe it's cause the Triforce of Power in every other Zelda game belonged to Ganon//Ganondorf so it's like a subtle reference. Ooooooooooorrrrrrrr maybe we are all wrong and Zelda only has one piece of the Triforce, Wisdom. So maybe the Triforce trio still have their Triforce piece. Note: Ganon in his spirit, not dead Calamity, and Beast Ganon all have yellow or golden eyes. Then the trailer... Ganondorf (Looks like TP's Ganondorf) has glowing yellow, like a lot of glowing yellow in his eyes.

@@achaoticneutralpaladin7713 yeah but TP Ganondorf's triforce of power clearly left him at the end on TP so it must mean he still doesn't have it in Botw no?

@@chatonpremier I think that maybe the yiga revived him and helped him get it back in secret. Cause the dehydrated corpse definitely looks like TP's Ganondorf.

@@achaoticneutralpaladin7713 Except Zelda CLEARLY has the complete Triforce when she seals away the Calamity

@@PinkSneaselGirl Maybe it's the glow effect that comes off her body making us think that it is the full triforce cause Zelda in previous games seals Ganon away with only the Triforce of Wisdom. So maybe they made the Triforce just a 'use everyone's Triforce piece to harness this power' and it is connected to her will and the Triforce Trio is connected so what if she was tricked by Ganon's piece of the Triforce when she called upon it and she thought 'kill everything around me' but didn't mean it literally so she wiped out Link too due to what I am going to say is a small possession. We've seen Zelda get possessed before In the timeline so maybe Ganon realized that he could possess her slightly and kill Link. I might've just wrote a whole new theory on something we might not even know but... when I thought of this I was like 'she has the whole Triforce I am stupid' then I was like 'what if because Link is injured Zelda called upon his piece for extra oomph and Ganon's to get far more power than Link and her combined.' this might be stupid but that's where my brain went. ALSO every Zelda game has all three of them having their Triforce pieces, why would this game stray further from that than any game has ever done?

they were picking the better of the two outcomes... neither was good

@@2014wow But they didn't have to choose did they? Make the tech, win the initial war, and then discard the weapons that would be used against them. If they were just looking at the possibility that the war would go badly it would be more reasonable to build shrines to cover their bases. Even more so if they couldn't see their technology being used against them and rather just the possibility that they'd lose the next fight somehow.

I’m such a big fan HG and Zeltik!

Age of calamity now has tourist spots from 10000 years ago. They just sit there now. I mean that’s a plus for the trees since link doesn’t have bombs

I thought the same, his face even looks very pig like in the drawing!

Thassalante k'Reskel well shit... thats a big brain prediction

I’ve always wanted to see a Zelda game where Ganondorf is a good guy who is slowly corrupted over the course of the game. Just do something interesting with the guy please Nintendo

Good one! Also, the tapestry depiction of the hero do look a bit strange, doesn't it? I mean, his facial features are so distinct. Especially the "nose"...

In a way, what if the Ancient Hero was BOTH that generation's Link and its Ganondorf?

Casledin Doctor Who and Back to the Future are my favorite takes on timetravel (and foresight as a logical extension)

When we hear of a prophecy in zelda games though, said prophecy always comes true. It would appear that in zelda's world the future IS set in stone. Whether the sheilah can truly see that far and clear into the future or not is another matter however

Or you can change the future, but some events are carved in stone and happend, whatever you do. It's unavoidable and you can only prepare for it.

i thought you were referring to Xenoblade

That's a concept in Norse mythology

I think that might just be true. I mean, think about it, Link and Zelda arrive down to Ganondorf, and he's like "Holy shit, they're actually going to end me.", so it plays out as him (or his malice) going to the past by 10,000 years to tell past Ganon "hey man, you can just corrupt all this tech", essentially ruining the Sheika's plan from the get-go, and Link and Zelda have to stop him.

@@Taliasaurus Oh fair, it feels like chaos rains these days. x>

Your right. If they would be a disadvantage later on why not get rid of them. The divine beasts would be hard but not impossible, and the lesser guardians it seems would be very easy. My only theories as to why not are that 1: there was simply to many to deactivate, meaning that it was a more reasonable thing to bury/hide them (this might be what the king was afraid of that caused him to ban the ancient tech, he may have been afraid it would happen soon if the tech was left out in the open) and/or two: there wasn't time. We don't know how long it was between the defeat of the calamity and the baning of Sheikah tech. If the king became worried during the war after seeing what the tech was capable of he may have instantly outlawed it after it was over. This may not have left the Sheikah with enough time to destroy it. The shrines may have been built more in secret as it is implied that they may have been hidden underground with the rest of the tech. They could have been built shortly after the ban and left there, and those that were left out and visible the whole time may have been repurposed shrines that everyone at the time believed where old places of worship and not containing much if any forbidden tech.

Wouldn't they bury it out of their own volition then instead of waiting for a decree from the king?
