I do like this theory, however, I believe that Rauru and Sonia founding Hyrule was just like the New Hyrule of Spirit Tracks: Some sort of cataclysmic event leading to the eventual founding of yet another New Hyrule. This could explain why the Zonai, never before seen deities that are said to come from the heavens, intervened. Without Rauru, a New Hyrule could have the possibility of never being established. This also leaves room for other things that are mentioned in BotW/TotK, such as the existence of Princess Ruto being mentioned on manuscript stones in BotW, Arbiter's grounds still existing, Urbosa mentioning that Calamity Ganon derived from the Gerudo (likely referring to Ganondorf himself), and the existence of many other things from different games such as the Lon Lon Ranch ruins, the existence of the Rito and Koroks since they had evolved from Zora and Kokiri respectively, etc. This could place BotW and TotK far ahead of the other games, making the timelines converge together into one singular linear (for now, anyways) branch.

Actually, I think you solved one question with another. It seems most likely that the decayed Guardians actually *didn't* disappear, and the ones near Fort Hateno were probably salvaged by Purah and Robbie in order to create the tech that remains.

I don't think that non-monstorous zoras showing up in Echos of Wisdom is evidence against a downfall timeline placement as we've already seen both types of zoras coexist in Oracle of Ages.

They could make literally EVERY boss its own Lego set there are so many options. I’m not getting my hopes up though

So for timeline placement if its fallen timeline as indicated with first impressions then its at some point between the end of Link's awakening and the Zelda II backstory. I can think of two possible points that it could take place first is the sealing of Ganon and dividing of the Triforce second is why the Master sword and Ganon's trident are missing in Zelda I. If its not the fallen timeline then we may have another unmarked timeline split again wouldn't be the first time also wouldn't be the second time. Also that volcano is NOT Death mountain as its in the wrong location Death mountain would be the snowy mountain to the right a LOT of people are making that same mistake. When I saw that volcano tho my first thought was I WAS RIGHT because I've been saying that there was a mountain there for a while and then a new game trailer comes out and BOOM there's a mountain there consistent Zelda map CONFIRMED!

Even better the same map like before but the afterlife which is above and beyond the sky islands, a new kingdom, the underworld where Demise came from, and the same Hyrule kingdom map and the depths all added with new lore, the return of the triforce, Ganondorf being the origin of the calamity to officially confirm that as canon, the three golden goddesses making a physical appearance, the return of Hylia and Demise, and the origin of the Zonai and the true reason why the guardians and divine beasts were built

TOTK lost a great opportunity to use the triforce. If link had 1 piece, Dragon zelda 1 piece and Ganondorf 1 piece, Link could have defeated Ganondorf and have the full Triforce to wish for Zelda to become human again. It would also explain why Ganondorf was so strong against 7 sages. And Rauru & Sonia turning zelda human made no sense.

So the sheekah didnt know the stuff they made would disappear and if the sheekah tech disappear because gannon lost then thats dumb cause he and his calamity powers r under the castle sooooo wouldn't them not disappearing scare ppl like oh hes not dead wth and cause a search other rhan oh tea there gone just because

some shikhia stuff were purpose

I feel like a set of the calamity Gabon battle arena, or even the demon dragon and light dragon battle, could be an amazing set.

its expensive hell

Yes he's inside Ganondorf. You can't have an incarnation of his hatred without you know his hatred aka him being there

As further evidence, this would explain why Hylia is suddenly an active entity again in BotW and TotK when she wasn't in any other games, literally speaking to Link directly when interacting with her statues, despite seemingly shedding her divinity prior to Skyward Sword. What people don't notice in the ending of SS is that the door leading to the room with the orange crystal is closed when Ghirahim brings Zelda back to the past, but after Link defeats Demise and returns to the temple, the door is open and the crystal is gone. Of course, with Demise defeated early, there would be no need for her to reinforce the seal anymore and the Zelda in there would wake up, but then where did she go? If she just poofed out of existence then the door wouldn't also be open. The only explanation is that she woke up, opened the door herself, and Impa explained what happened, so she left out the back door and hid until Link and the others returned to their own time, in order to avoid coming into contact with the other Zelda and risking some kind of paradox. This leaves her as a "spare" Zelda who's trapped in the past, but knows where the Triforce is hidden and could potentially use it to become Hylia again and continue protecting the land. Furthermore, in this alternate past, the Master Sword and Goddess Sword would both exist simultaneously, which is the only way to explain their coexistence later since the Goddess Sword in TotK is confirmed to be the real deal gifted to you by Hylia herself, and not just a replica like most other legacy weapons. This detail is impossible unless the ending of SS indeed made a new branch.

Great video! One idea I have for a set would be an SNES with A Link to The Past in the same style of the NES set with Super Mario Bros.

What Zelda Lego Sets would you like to see in the future, and what minifigures would come with that set?

Actually 14 min 14 sec🤓

ok

AYY IM ACTUALLY SO EXCITED FOR THIS VIDEO

This theory is too interesting to be a thing, doubt it would happen

Rad, I find the spirits and deities in Zelda to be fascinating so this project is gonna be sick

For me, the secret stone buffed ganondorf is a representation of demises powers. It’s like we are seeing him in front of us.

I think the Purah Pad and Sheikah tech at Lookout Landing were simply created based on the old tech. It had no reason to disappear. The decayed guardian is a tougher one, but it could be that Nintendo just left it there as a nod to BotW.

Are you kidding me? Someone has a perfectly plausible reason why the new games seem disconnected from everything EXCEPT skyward sword, but he has a fraction of the viewers of these "zelda is dead" goobers? Good luck, my dude.

I really hate this explanation. Why should the goddes want that the technology just disapear's, if it could serve more than just the purpose of defeating ganon? It was so much work to get this far to invent this technology and it could help the people of hyrule so much and she just "welp, you had your fun, didn't you?" Now I won't let you keep it and I didn't even help coming up with it. Stupid move Hylia, I never thought I'd insult her.... oh man😅

ToTK FUKKED UP the Zelda timeline. Gdamn Bamophet bs.

Am I unhealthily binging all of your videos? Uhm... yes. Will I keep doing it? Yes

Falls to her death? She didn't die You'd still have all your weapons and either continue going down the cave and defeating ganon yet again, or they'd just go away and try again later, hell, ganon doesn't even try getting out or doing anything until you go down there again, he's still trapped

I think decayed sheikah tech didn't in fact dissappear, it eas just all repurposed to build the new skyview towers and the purah pad and so on

It’s not a bad video, and it’s a definitely better option than « convergence of timeline 🤓 » KZbinrs like to talk about without ever proving it. My issue is that it’s just basically a reboot timeline. So it’s not really a new solution, otherwise kinda good.

This honestly does not classify as a proper power comparison and needs to be redone. There needs to be a way of measuring there stats and abilities compared to each other this is something you did well with in the other videos. Nothing becomes dynamic until it becomes specific find stats that are shared across the different Zeldas that are traits that define there power.
