Gerudos are not a viable species. With only one male born every 100 years, there would not be enough fertile women for him to continue the species by the time he matures. Even if he procreated up to his final day, at 100 years old (he would have to live to be at least 100 to give birth to his own son), it would be another 20 years before he can mature. He could only couple with his close siblings, as every other female would have reached menopause. It's a downward spiral of population decline, and that assumes the one male mates with every viable female every year for his entire life. Even with interbreeding, they would be dilluted in about 10 generations to nonexistence.

You just assume everything is a reboot so you don’t have to reassess prior established believes. It’s connected and it’s in the same hyrule as previous games.

to me, dq11 made three timelines: 1 where eleven went back in time and left a broken world without a hero, 1 where he went back in time and was able to stop the fall of ygdrassil, and 1 where serenica went back in time to be with erdwin, and i think the erdrick trilogy follows the 2nd timeline, the one where Eleven stops the fall, and the sword of light/kings being broken in dq3 coincides with Serenica breaking it to go back in time. The first timeline is probably followed by the zenithian timeline, one where their broken sword of light becomes the zenithian sword, as for the third timeline? no idea, could be part of 9/10's timeline since those 2 aren't connected to the other stories like the erdrick and zenithian trilogies are.

To confirm point 1: The Luminary is named the first "Erdrick" in DQ11's true ending, in DQ3-HD this is reinforced when you are named Erdrick after the defeat of Zoma as the king references the ancient hero. (Confirming DQ11 is a prequel to DQ3.)

To add to point #1: In Aliahan castle, in the northwestern section, there is a map of Erdrea on a wall. The geography pattern on that map matches exactly act 1/3 Erdrea's geography. Why would Aliahan have that map in their castle? Plus, there's more to the Forging Hammer. Where was it last seen in DQ11? Hotto. Where is it found in DQ3? Jipang. After forging the Supreme Sword of Light in DQ11, the Hotto swordsmith sells a sword based on the Sword of Light called... the Sword of Kings. Which is the exact same design as DQ3's. If we entertain for a minute that DQ3's world is a geographically altered Erdrea in the far future, it stands to reason that the people of Hotto may have gradually migrated to what is Jipang, while upholding a measure of their tradition, culture (ie: Haiku speak), and perhaps ancestral knowledge when it comes to swordsmithing. Which would explain the knowledge of Kol's Jipangese blacksmith of the Sword of Kings... something none in Alefgard has ever heard of, if we go by DQ3HD2D. Plus, overlap Erdra and the DQ3HD2D upper world maps. Yggdrassil is located roughly in the same area on both maps. As for point 7... I'll be that guy: I think it's the DQ1 hero and Gwaelin, not the DQ3 Erdrick and Rubiss. She gave the DQ1 protagonist, who is a direct descendant of Erdrick, an item which... aside from acting like a GPS, did the exact same thing as the Descendant's Orb. Given it's DQ2, taking place a century after DQ1, their children have founded the kingdoms of Midenhall, Cannock, and Moonbroke after Gwaelin decided to leave Tantegel with the DQ1 protagonist. That has been documented as early as the NES days, and it makes sense in a way, as their children are basically fulfilling one of the DQ1 protagonist's ambitions. "I cannot take the throne. If I am to rule a kingdom, it will be one that I myself found." The DQ1 hero's parting words with King Lorik.

That Rufus is sure as hell one snazzy dresser!

I feel that there are female gorons but they're indistinguishable is a better explanation. Technically they're not human, just like dwarves we as humans feel the need as a majority to distinguish male and female but if someone writes a beautiful detailed fantasy world I find it more intriguing that indistinguishable is better in a different fantasy race in general.

The reason I need this mystery solved is because I want to use the Zonai script in items ai am creating. Like a Zonai inspired spear sword I am making

Not romaji, but katakana I believe. If not katakana, then hiragana

I used the teddy bear and followed the big Ghini chasing after it

Given the number of topography goofs, I feel like the depths were much smaller at one point (small zones concentrated around the sinkholes) and the inverted height map was a quick-and-dirty expansion solution.

Finally somebody is asking the real questions.

Seeing Jessie again then the ending of Rebirth hurt.

I love the hood outfit more than the other ones we received, and the lowerd hoow would make it so elite 🙏

I really hope this is a one off type video and you don't constantly obsses over this like other Zelda tubers. It got old a long time ago

Great work on this one Pixel! Thanks so much for the shoutout too my friend

It would be a nice addition, even if I will keep her in the dancer's outfit.

Hoodless or Bust!! Great job with the video Pixel! You nailed the reasons we want the outfit and the respectful approach we want. :D

Yeah, I am kinda disappointed by the low number of costumes. Maybe after we get Hoodless Zelda, we could then ask Nintendo to add more outfits?

It does indeed look very weird, that we can’t wear what’s featured on the box art.

Justice for Hoodless Zelda. Also Hoodless Zelda appears on my searches as well!

Thank you!!!

I wonder if the depths shift to match the state of the currect surface's topography. I wonder if theres rubble etc in crevices to show previous shifts. We know its a physical place we can visit (especially as theres a straight shot down) but i wonder if there's more power at work for the 'underworld' to be the same as the surface

I ALWAYS forgett the follow thingie!! Thank you so fricking much! 🎉

For this one I used a pirahna since for some reason they can swim up against the current. It definitely seems more like an oversight lol

I used the Spark echo and followed its movement. Felt like it was unorthodox and didn’t feel like I did it the “correct” way

i dont why i forgot following movements was a thing

I spent like 30 minutes trying to use the shark since it ignores the current.

This one took me so long! Don't forget that you also need to equip the flippers in order to brute-force it with a swim potion. Seeing other options shows how open-ended this game is (which is the point!)

This was one of the few puzzles in the game I could not figure out how to do. The guide I looked up just used a Platboom, but knowing the real solution makes it so much cooler.

The skylands were created as trials for the hero out of ganons reach. Don't know why the depths are inverted. The animal Lords are different zonai tribes. All the dragons are previous zonai. They have the same hair as rauru and mineru. The zonai went extinct because the majority became dragons. Blupees become bubbulfrogs because they're unable to attain enlightenment and their greed causes them to be corrupted by the gems. I didn't know the blood moon affected cooking. Probably just a gameplay thing and not part of the story The ghosts are victims of the calamity. It's their weapons they used in life. Koutake and koume are not the same people from past games. Just another case of reused names. The dueling peaks aren't in the depths. The hebra hole? I haven't noticed it in the depths. Perhaps an oversight by the devs It's just a gameplay excuse to prevent you going beyond the desert. The colloseums were for zonai entertainment. They were a barbaric people who conquered through force and entertained themselves through combat. Bargainer statues have some sort of connection to hylia. The one in lookout landing is the odd one out Yes the dragons were all zonai. Even all the skeletons in the depths and the surface The goddess sword is a non canon item. It's there as a gameplay quirk like the rest of the legendary items. It doesn't canonically exist in the world since it's the master sword The final battle was invisible Zelda was restored through recall. Zelda didn't travel back 10,000 years. It was 50,000 years as there have been several calamities Don't know about the garden of time Rauru going to the sky can be explained by him knowing it's too dangerous to keep link on the surface while he recovers The imprisoning chamber was constructed as a trap. The platform uses the same hover tech as the skylands. The pyramid above ganon is the source of all sheikah tech The purification unit transforms gloom into ancient energy. The excess gloom is leftover as waste and becomes Malice Astral observatory was built ontop of the purification unit as an access point to ancient energy

1. Well in Skyward Sword if you to to the surface and look up you can see the sky so the cloud barrier is more of a cloaking thing

This is satisfactory. My only issue is why the wall is somehow just missing when it used to be visible

Ganondorf wasn't executed at the end of the child time line. He was sealed in the twilight realm.

Memory serves it’s mentioned that the hero winds is the hero of time reborn. If that’s the case, then he may simply know that song from another lifetime. Obviously, I know about the three timelines, but my guess is once you die in the Zelda universe. your spirit goes to a sort of. after life that is connected to all the timelines

This story is often referenced in so many theories and other sorts of works and videos but I've only have now seen someone take the time to summarize its entirety. With amazing artwork all the while too

short, simple, and to the point- seems like a complicated story to explain in just 3 minutes but you managed to do so. nice 👍🐉
