Moral of the story. Don’t erase history because everything has consequences. Rules and Consequences. Even a time but of history can spark a fire over that tiny oversight.

Link walks the road that Zelda carved for her hero. To face against the monster that they forged.

The point is anyone can be a hero or a villain by their choices. Wind Waker Link becomes a hero by his own choices not by destiny. So did Spirit Tracks. Master Sword recognizes those who are greater than they were, to try and make things right and not to yield.

There is a theory that Gerudo, Shiekah and Twilight are all one once. That they were United by greed against the gods themselves. It might actually make sense. Ganondorf Dragmire learning about the Twilight and Shiekah being one alongside Gerudo. It would make it that much more interesting since Ganondorf is the leader of the guerdo uniting both Shiekah and Twilight to rise up against the gods.

Link: Zelda, Couldn’t we just locate this Sacred Land to find the Triforce? Zelda: Link, the Sacred Land isn’t a mystic location. Hyrule is the Sacred Land. Ganondorf: That is correct. The land itself is a creation of the gods and therefore, the one true place in the land where its core thrive.

Ravioli got violated by the translation

Legend of Zelda should have Arcane this whole two games thing. Make the story greater so that the world is greater. Arcane succeeded, Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul succeeded. Why not us?

The developers are loopers. The game lacked proper history. Why was this stuff not in the game.

@QuestWithAaron and anyone else who has insight to share! How are there so many errors (in every single Zelda game) in the Japanese to English translations? Obviously the nuance, specificity, cultural meaning, etc. of one language can't be perfectly expressed through another; we expect things to be lost in translation. However, you have provided many examples where the English translation completely misses the intended message... far more than expected amounts lost via translation. Is this caused by localization teams taking too many liberties and rewriting aspects of a story in an attempt to increase appeal for a Western audience? Is it caused by poor depth/understanding of linguistic nuance and culture? Maybe a simple lack of time and attention to detail? I have a hard time believing the culprit is lack of skill/knowledge within localization teams because some of the translations are so poor that the mistakes seem intentional (especially in Twilight Princess). Please share your thoughts with us, I cannot possibly be the only person wondering this!

Really love the translations from the original Japanese text, really wish NOA would’ve localized this better. Small details in the meaning of Ganondorf’s words add demension to his motivation

The auto-generated english closed captions at 21:25 are sending me. Two words that completely unveil the secret name of his sword.

this aged like milk lul. japanese is such a good language!

Dumb English translators strike again. I'm honestly starting to get very tired of English translators and localizers actively changing stuff.

I do think that Null is at least on their tier, like he wouldn't be able to defeat all of them working together in tandem like how you would get with the Full Triforce wish (That is the utter height of power in the series), but just being able to affect them in any way is notable, and not to mention that them didn't destroy Null from the beginning may imply that it would have been difficult if not impossible at that point in time. Another interesting thing is how the Triforce just, erases Null at the end of the game, like how do you erase non-existence? That's insane lol.

The cycle has to end for all our sakes look what happens to Kratos and his father. The guilt overwhelmed him. The cycle ends here not only in forgiveness but understanding why they do what they do. Preventing future generations from dealing with monsters anymore.

In just about every game, Link is a whole different person but reincarnated. Personality differs on what happens in his life during the timeline, which I believe is the reason Link is not overjoyed when I comes across a new item or weapon in botw or Totk. Link in botw/totk was born into a family of knights, which naturally makes him less cheerful and playful like he was in previous games. Link has obviously went through loads of training and was probably taught and disciplined to where he doesn’t show much interest in things a normal person would. Link in skyward sword for example, showed joy and excitement when he comes across something new. Link in botw, doesn’t. As said previously, Just about all Links are simply not the same Link but an reincarnated Link.

If eating a sacred stone is irreversible, does that mean you never poop it out? Like when you put too much cheese on your food?

I swear whether it’s anime or video games, English localization teams always find ways to mutilate the thought put into the original Japanese version 😒

I know this is an old video but imagining link keeping a journal of his adventures is the sweetest thing ever 🥺

Wow. Thanks for sharing this, now I'm gonna go and replay Tears of The Kingdom know much more about the mystery instead of ignorantly enjoying the beauty of the small details

He acts so charming, like when he says "exhilarating" it just makes him sound like a male version of Zelda 😭✨

In french his name is "l'avatar du néant" and not just "neant" maybe that would explain his name at 3:21

Is Null bound by the rules of time? Could he just pop open a rift in the past or future of EOW? I'm trying to figure out how he got Ganon's echo, also Demise was said to be a being outside of time so I feel like Null should be as well. Is there any indication in the Japanese about either of these 2 being outside of time?

I really enjoyed it, the way you presented the details, made me feel less sorry for missing them out in the game, why did they have to make the English version different?!

Wait a darn minute if the White Dragon is known for Speed then why is Reshiram so damn slow?! (90 base speed for a Legendary Dragon) Darn you Pokemon company you missed a perfectly good opportunity there. I mean reading Bulbapedia would probably tell me but dang. Also this is a fantastic video by the way. I'm so glad i found this channel. The English version really bastardized this game didnt they? I cant wait to watch your other videos. Though its getting late so maybe I'll do that tomorrow. Cheers!

What if the old lore of Rauru, the first king of hyrule being a hylian is just now outdated and he’s a Zonai now

I've posted this on two other videos about Null before but: imagine this from Null's perspective: -you're keeping your space clean -just the way you like it -these three golden [can't say that on a christian minecraft channel!] show up -decide they don't like the way you live your life -bury you in infinite dirt -worms in the dirt play out a story -it's kinda good -worms in the dirt play out a story -it's kinda good, kinda reminds you of the previous story -worms in the dirt play out a story -kinda reminds you of the previous stories -worms in the dirt play out a story -it's just the previous stories -repeat ad infinitum -still trying to clean all the while -golden [still can't say that on a christian minecraft channel!]'s littlest bugs make more dirt -decide to get sneaky about it -make your own worms -your worms wrap up the little bugs -your worms keep other worms busy with story -annoyingly sparkly worm teams up with bug -golden [still can't say that on a christian minecraft channel but this isn't a christian minecraft channel]'s favorite triangles come into play -it would be perfect for cleaning all this dirt -trick sparkly worm-bug duo into opening path to triangles -golden goddesses put three-factor authentication on the path -also imply that you're the worm that keeps trying to take the triangles -you lose -worms in the dirt play out a story -worm that looks like you tries to take the triangles

I absolutely love the design of the Tris and I had no idea why until this video. They embody this concept of Mu you’re talking about; of not emptiness but an indefinite, an amorphous material, description, and association: not just a lack of being a concrete something but a lack of a lack in the first place. From this indefinite wellspring of potential, where anything can arise in concept or function. The Tris themselves look formed or sculpted, taking shape itself or from a creative expression with the material. They look both like the familiar little art projects we made as kids while seeming otherworldly and divine in a sense, shaping their world as well as both made and maker. The Tris are in design and philosophy where playful imagination and profoundly wise spirituality go hand in hand.

Well done on this one Aaron. Null is such a great addition to the series imho

Just finished the game

"Null" also means "Zero" in German

Just imagine how different it would be if only there was more time for Revali to be around Link. I believe it would be a similar thing with Link and Zelda. Over time Zelda starts to understand Link, and they became close friends. I believe that if Revali was around Link more, I believe that he would start to understand him more and their relationship would improve. I could see them as friends and also friendly rivals. It could of been reality if only they had more time to understand each other. To me, I find this as one of the biggest tragedies in the story of Breath of the Wild, alongside with Mifa’s death.

The Still World is Néant (Void) in French. Demise is called Avatar du Néant (Avatar of the Void) in French. He came out of a crack. Was Demise just an Avatar of Null? Making Ganondorf related to Null? That would explain why Null made Echoes of Ganon.

So Null is more or less like a black hole, it sucks everything into, well nothing...

Hope the information in this video gets around the Zelda theorist community, I saw people interpreting Null as some kind of victim which is just absurd. He selfishly wants nothing to exist so that nothingness can remain endless. As you allude to, "mu" is very different when it's referring to ego death and ascension above human concerns as it does in Buddhism vs a very genuine annihilation of all that exists. I don't know how anyone can think the Goddesses were the bad guys when they stopped something from crushing all life out of the universe.

Im happy that IS NOT GANON OR GANONDORF AGAIN!!!! 👍👍👍

I really enjoyed this video, thnx Aaron!

This video is incredible and I've learned so much from it. I just want to say: you have absolutely COOKED with every video I have seen on this channel. I don't know of any other ZeldaTuber who dives as deep into researching the games quite like you, and it's only increased my respect for both you and what was already my favorite video game series. More Zelda fans need to see your videos, because your whole channel is a masterpiece.

I wonder if there is even deeper significance, seeing as how this is the first game where we play as Zelda. Sure, it _seems_ like Demise/Ganon/Ganondorf is the big bad of all the other titles, but maybe Ganondorf is just to Null what Link is to Hylia and the Three Goddesses? Link is the Champion of this World, Ganondorf is the Champion of the World of Null, and Zelda has been aware of this the whole time.

So, Null and his world of nothiness could be thought of as the "painting" that the Goddesses "painted over" with the world of Hyrule? Seems to me that between the two worlds, they could have implemented a primer, something to prevent the image of the old world from influencing the image of the new world, and that this "Prime Energy" is the nature of this interstitial space.

Wait! It’s the second time KZbin didn’t notice me there is a new video. KZbin, let me support this channel as usual!!! Great video as always! What Iike so much about them, it’s because you do more than just translation, you put things into context.

My thoughts about Null being separate or connected to Demise is this: I believe Demise was created by Null "on accident", like how TotK Ganondorf "accidentally" created Calamity. Their respective hatreds took lives of their own and became separate from their origins. Also, even though monsters CAN get swallowed by the Rifts, the "Light World" monsters can clearly still survive in it whereas Hylians, Zora, Gorons, etc. are "stilled." I think this indicates that the monsters have a "chaotic essence" that's tied to Null, the being of primordial chaos. Therefore Demise would have a "chaotic essence" too, even if he's unaware of it.
