That's an incredible theory !

And she is most likely a sheikah, quite known for testing the hero.

I was just about to say all this. I think it was her way to test him. She has likely been told of a young boy clad in a green tunic. That may even be part of the reason wby she is a school teacher. Windfall Island is the most pop hylian island in the game. If a boy were to be born as an incarnation of the hero of time, it would most likely be there (it wasnt, but statically speaking, the chances were higher there. Especially since it had been so long they really had no real clue as where to look.) She may have been there to see the children and watch for the new hero. Biding her time. Then when a boy traveling the seas alone came to the island, clad in a green tunic of the hero, she requested the pendants as a test of courage.

@Insertia Nameia (adding to this) And her tests are also progressive: she claims she “lost” her students, but this also happens to be the same day Link comes to town and needs to buy a sail; and addition to the Green Tunic, he also has a sword and shield strapped on. If those aren’t just for show, then wrangling four kids shouldn’t be an issue. Aside: but it’s also possible that she’s training these kids as Sheikah by playing to their strengths-the boys are incredibly fast and hide pretty darn well and will literally patrol the island. Channel that into making them Guardians when they’re older. The two girls also function as Gossip Stones, and have to get their information from somewhere. Considering Miss Marie’s involvement with Zunari’s business, it’s probably from her. It’s also likely that Zunari’s clan owning both the sail and magic armor were also fibs. She just leant them to him so that he could kickstart his own buisiness...which he didn’t. He made Link do all the legwork without pay. And we do have a canonical example of the Sheikah adopting hylians as clan members in OoT to rebuild their clan-Impa by opening Kakariko to Hylians (failed; they turned it into a hylian settlement instead while also bemoaning Impa’s clan getting decimated in the recent civil war) and Zelda becoming Sheik (moderately successful. And after OoT the Sheikah clan presumably finally recovers) Then of course having Link collect joy pendants (only found with monsters or in a few random chests in monster-claimed territories) and claiming it’s a “Jewelry Obsession” ...when she only wears the one her students gave her, and has zero interest in the golden feathers, knight crests, and wildly popular skull necklaces and just keeps all of Link’s Gifts in literal piles from lack of space...she’s not actually “jewelry obsessed”, though she does enjoy putting an effort into her appearance and uses the house wives’ snide comments about her as a Cover for these Tests in case anyone grew suspicious for whatever reason. But, all of Miss Marie’s sidequests are both mandatory for game progression and progressive in difficulty. She even provides a way for Link to have enough money to deal with Tingle if he’s “wise” enough with those slide puzzles. Her clan’s Oasis is also suspiciously close to the Tower of the Gods-another Testing Grounds (that Zeltik has theorized is Sheikah-Made, that also requires three keys to enter), so her family would indeed be able to spy on contestants attempting to enter and leave said location in pursuit of the Master Sword. And, well. Sheikah are most associated with Wisdom, anyway

to go along with the sheikah theory, notice how the patterns on the bottom half of her clothes resemble the sheikah symbol

The Sheikah Eye, you mean?

I was about to say the same. And I was thinking she got money from the butler game as well ha ha good job

Yes! She also has the Sheikah symbol embroidered in the bottom hem of her dress

Originally, the heros charm was the prize of the 50th level of the trials on the top of outset island. They switched it to Ms Marie in the HD version. So unfortunately this theory falls apart

​@@johnzaharris1913 you've got that backwards, in the gamecube version, you get it from Miss Marie, in the HD version you obtain it by clearing all 50 levels in the labyrinth. Here's Zeltik's video on Miss Marie's connection to the Shiekah, he also talks about how in the original game, you get the Hero's charm. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7ZnjZSjr6mrnIk.html&ab_channel=Zeltik

thats crazy

@@johnzaharris1913 havent played either version in a while so dont know if thats true. But if they did change it to her giving it to link instead of doing the 50th level that actually strengthens the theory due to the fact that Nintendo when redesigning the game thought it to be important that she be the one to give a sheikah artifact.

Can't we get another colab on botw 2 plz? I appreciate it. Great content and happy halloween NBC!!

Thanks man! I enjoyed yours a lot as well ^^

OMG I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!

Dude I love you theories! And same here I love unsettling parts as well

Indeed. A great video. Up until now I`ve thought that the whole point of the oasis was a labyrint to hide a map to a piece of the triforce. However, it is a dark thought that Hyrule`s royal family would give orders to create undead and let them linger to keep unworthy away.

AND while wearing a large hat and full tunic nonetheless ;)

Point in favour: the Hell Butterflies from Bleach.

Isn't there something like that in kirby?

I tried getting it to stop, but in order to receive the letter I had to pay 200+ rupees! Screw that!

@@MonsterMaze the tingle letter I think is the only one that costs that much.

@@FerociousMit exactly

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

And, to add to it, as a result, they were cursed, not only for their greed, but due to their lack of worth, so to speak.......Being thieves, they weren't worthy of something as valuable and important as a chart leading to a fragment of the Triforce of Courage/a fragment of the Triforce of Courage. One thing these games show is that in matters like this......Tests set up to find those meant to wield the gifts hidden by the goddesses, they *don't* mess around, and there are *always* steep penalties inflicted on those who prove to be unworthy of their aid!

That’s a dark theory, I could see that being the case

I was already aware of the existence of ReDeads in the Legend of Zelda series, when I first played Wind Waker, but I wasn't prepared for the scream sound that they make in Wind Waker. I definitely jumped the first time I heard that scream.

WW's ReDead's still scare me almost 20 years later, even as a woman in her mid 20's. Their screams still haunt my ears. 😂

@@spring_drain18 No joke, they were THE reason I was afraid of the dark when I was growing up.

@@ThisguySL And I can't blame you! It doesn't help that the sounds of their screams echo in your head walking in the dark or hoping not to find red eyes staring at you! 😂

@@spring_drain18 I'm 56, and just reading about the ReDead in the Cabana still scares me. Like nothing I've ever experienced in real life. Ugh! That unholy shriek! I'll have problems getting to sleep tonight I'm not ashamed to admit that, dropping into that room, I cried like a little girl and almost broke my controller trying to escape!

Couldn't agree more!

I thought I saw a cat...

Link's the cat, case closed

@@auravaury Just a cat and certainly not an ally of justice.

"Meooooow..." -- Link, hiding from the shop assistant

This sounds glorious.

I like the way u think! Lol

Your brain is a fascinating placd

What?

I -

yeah, I noticed that all the zeldatubers seemed to upload today

IKR this was a day full of Zelda videos!

yes it is

Which shrine?

Same

Same

I went really late game because I couldn’t beat hide n seek

For some reason i find that more disturbing... love it!

Ooh, nice PotC reference there~

@@KeyJester you have my unconditional love my friend :D It took a bit of time to have it right tbh ^^

Ganondorf and Davy Jones are organists... Coincidence?

@@JoseLuisGarcia9540 Omg I just realized how awesome your response is, nicely seen bravo!

Part of the cabana, part of the door

Ooooh nice!

Can't go without Mad Monster Mansion ^^

-you don’t need a PhD to teach, and especially not early education. Most teachers have their BA or BS, maybe their Masters (but Masters is typically a newer thing for HS and maybe early education). You DO need a Masters to teach undergrad, OR be working towards your Masters. Also needing a BA/BS for teaching involvement is a bit Maybe? when undergrad students pursuing teaching also have to get their hours in -it’s a TINY Island. There’s only 6 Kids total with room for at least 16. You only need one teacher for a one-room classroom. It’s got nothing to do with whether it’s a “private school” or not. If you want to meta about it beyond “gamecube limitations and programers got tired”, it’s evidence of how depressingly small and unsustainable the gods’ lazyass choice to flood everything really was Anyway. There’s plenty to speculate about Miss Marie without tossing in bloated degrees and classroom sizes

That's why whenever I go through places that have redeads I turn the sound off

Arin Hanson, is that you??

GOD I hate redeads.

Damn, someone should make a mod for the game like that, where it all gets darker, less colorful, and different creepy musics playing in the various different locations of the game. That would be amazing, tbh

Ya I agree

With that in mind, Miss Marie heard the legend of this hero. She remembered the ending and the fact that a hero was meant to return. It’s likely that Miss Marie’s title as “Miss” could be both for her role as teacher and a wife of someone. That someone could have been the butler that once lived with her at the cabana. With her tears staining her late husband’s brow, she prayed to the gods just as the Hyrulian people did in the legend. She didn’t want him to pass and asked for his spirit to watch over the cabana. Knowing this, the trio of goddesses accepted her request and bound his spirit to the cabana, knowing the next hero would be the one to continue the fight against Ganon. Her request fulfilled, she left for Windfall Isle. Deciding to leave behind her memories of that place she now felt indignation for, Miss Marie made it her goal to keep with the tradition of proving her next deed owner. Enter Link, just discovering his role as the Hero of Winds and landing on an island focused on wind no less. His task? Find a sail. On the way? Show himself to the town so that they recognize those green clothes. Miss Marie sees the tell tale sign of the hero and feels that tugging of destiny on her heart. After Link helps her class regroup and treat her with respect, she gladly accepts the birthday present of a joy pendant.

What about the underground section of the cabana? Easy. Those were the leftovers of the old village named Kakariko. Either the graveyard or the well would fit that description best. What more of a poignant place to put a piece of the triforce than a monumental moment that the Hero of Time had faced?

yeah it is, Zeltik made a video about it, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7ZnjZSjr6mrnIk.html&ab_channel=Zeltik

Overthinking is what Zelda theories are about 😁

That is very interesting stuff! God, I love asian folklore. Thank you for sharing ^^
