I see this is before Tears, unfortunately that game show why the Triforce can't be house in Zelda. The Triforce does not like duplication of itself hence why the Courage part randomly vanish when Young Link return with that piece. It goes out of it way to make sure only one of it self exist at one given time. I think the Triforce Symbol is more related to the Blood of the Goddess, she the protector of the Triforce she might just have very strong connection to it. Buuuut everything else is sound, in theory. No really holes just depend of your interpretation of some of the stuff, like if your dead sent of the merger being impossible. Cool vid still.

This is a BEAUTIFUL character analysis, wow

I love revali be so cool and his music

6:51 Rifts eating the world does seem like it’d fit ALTTP’d Imprisoning War backstory.

Would it be cool if someone made a Ben Drowned horror movie?

revali and link are truly the kismesis of all time

Funnily enough, Revalli has always been my favorite character. He seemed so full of life. Don't get me wrong, I loved the other 3 champions as well, but Revalli always was my favorite. It's a bit of why I love Riju so much in TotK. She too has her insecurities and does what it takes to overcome them. Riju however has support where Revali didn't, and when it becomes clear that she can't overcome it normally, she too isolates herself. Overall, I think that the designers of Revalli's charecter did very well. Fantastic insight into what I loved about him and exactly why my dad disliked him when he played the game. Thanks for the amazing video!

The part that bothers me about this is Zelda being captured. Sounds like a normal thing, but each time she was captured, specifically in a crystal, she was either used to bring back Ganon, captured to take the Triforce of Wisdom, etc. Where is the Triforce in this game? Does it occur in the Era of Myth? Ganon traps her behind enchanted flames in the Original Zelda game, and she didn't have her triforce piece. If we use Mario as a reference, Peach is captured as a romantic ideal for Bowser but she is also captured because she uses heart power, which counters Bowser's power. If Zelda had "her sacred power" as she does in BotW or TotK, Ganon is literally waiting when Link sneaks up to him. Ganon has eyes everywhere in lore, so maybe he knew he was coming, but if he was after something, I know if I was I wouldn't wait around. The Master Sword aspect of this is intriguing as the sword we see looks similiar to Zonai technology. The Zonai are not seemingly present in this title, so perhaps a story a couple generations after Rauru and Sonia? The sword seems nonexistent in Rauru's founding as the sages sort-of tried to corner him without even a hero. So, did the hero exist then? The Hero Aspect shows us that at one time the hero was either Zonai or the Zonai created the aspect to resemble the hero, which ironically is what Zonai tech tends to do and uses magic to fuel it (batteries that recharge themselves and bam, you shot lasers at a Lynel). This game is intriguing as Tri is the only "weapon" Zelda seems to have at her disposal. Enemies exist in the world for her to take on seemingly without other magic. The map is similiar to Link to the Past, with extra areas. Tri seemingly appears out of nowhere, probably sought Zelda to intervene with the rift she would otherwise be swallowed in if it didn't. Maybe Tri is the spirit of the Triforce in a sense, as to guard an object from evil, one good way to secure it is to give it spirit and let it protect itself. The golden goddesses could have intervened again or Zelda, the King, somebody made a wish to permenantly secure it, as we already saw Ganondorf function without it in the battlefield to seek. This kingdom has repeatedly seen evil take over because its relic fell in the wrong hands. The sacred realm could have been sealed off completely after empowering the good guys in this tale that rhymes in its history. Zelda is the mortal incarnation of Hylia afterall, it only makes sense to either seal it in the royal bloodline for good or seal it away in a way where nobody can touch it, as Ganondorf either didn't know about it in TotK or BoTW for that matter or it was impossible for him to acquire it. Ganon could have been revived just to capture Zelda, as he had one botched ritual at one point due to Link killing Twinrova (how they returned from beyond the grave was definitely secretive if Ganon did it). There are many unanswered questions in the timeline and how characters function. The Sheikah for example may not be present in this game strangely enough but in TotK, they didn't have a sage unless you believe the Zonai were Sheikah. PS: I got curious and digged around on the Wiki. What if we are not looking at the right place of history? Ganon has periodically wielded a trident. The inscription of it in Four Swords Adventures says it either contains an evil spirit or demons. What if the trident is its own entity, and Ganon was the puppet and still will be, as the same trident is seen as a sign of its wielder being "the demon king reborn" as Zelda put it.

Revali's Gale being "Revali's Ferocity" in Japanese also does explain why the English version seems out of place, given that all of the other Champion abilities are also named after emotional state of being, and how it exposes the likely thing that drives their respective mindset. Revali's Ferocity being tied to his strong willed determination to succeed, Urbosa's Fury suggesting she has a strong sense of anger that she focuses towards using lightning, Daruk's Protection being tied to his sense of protectiveness of others, and Mipha's Grace related to her compassion to heal others. The English version (probably not intentionally) ends up resulting in the ability feeling more akin to a tool, an ability as opposed to a state of mind or being that drives each Champion, which only further distances Revali from the rest of the Champions except ironically Link, if your postulation about Flurry Rush being his Champion ability is true.

Well in Mario Odyssey they created a system to possess enemies and in the final part you possess Bowser and do the final course as him

i always liked revali, he was my favourite from botw, but daruk definitely joined him up there, but hes definitely a great guy

There's a Trope on TV Tropes literally called 'Hijacked by Ganon. I wonder if this is what is happening in the game... but with a twist where Ganon isn't the one hijacking another villain's plot in this. Rather, it's another more powerful old enemy, perhaps Vaati... or perhaps even Majora (or maybe both), who's hijacked Ganon as the 'Big Bad' in this new Zelda game..?

He’ll be trapped with Link most of the game but when Zelda defeats the main villain towards the end he’ll grab whatever the ultimate power is so Zelda and link will team up

Would love to see Vaati come back.

Maybe we'll learn who made and left that trident for ganondorf in FSA, even if it is on a different timeline or something

42:47 I KNEW IT WAS COMING AND IT STILL GOT ME 😂

The Ganon in the trailer can also be a puppet Ganon, so it can be Nintendo trying to pull the rug under us and the real villain is just Ganon.

Yeah, I reckon Gannon will be the tutorial boss, acting as a minor antagonist in the first half, until we find out that he is being tricked by a more powerful entity.

Hype

1:17 I laughed so hard I almost choked!!! 🤣 Always enjoy watching your videos and hearing your theories ❤️💜

Zelda was actually trapped in a crystal four times since she traps herself in one in Skyward Sword. So you would have four nickels.

can someone explain the left handed joke?

Haha ravioli

Fun fact you can hear Morse code in all divine beasts

Honestly I agree with all these lol

I LOVED this video. I've always been a huge fan of Revali, but i think you've helped me realize why.

Insert clip of Zelda crying in links lap. I have been crying for the past THREE DAYS because I can’t have my chicken nugget back. He’s my favorite out of all the characters! Also, here’s some more depressing facts! Wherever the champions spirits appear, are where they died. So I think Revali was shot out of the air, and then the killing blow was delivered while he was flightless on the ground. Or it was a one and done hit. Also, Mipha dies against the wall. She was either impaled, or maybe worse, bled out. I cry whenever a beat the divine beasts. I can’t help it (it’s my 15 year old ass’s hormones).

I’d like to point out that in tears of the kingdom, when you get Revali’s bow, it doesn’t have that signature blue ribbon. The bow Tulin gets from Teba does have it. But when Teba makes one for Link, it doesn’t.

One thing you forgot to mention about revali being the last champion to die is that on the rito tower there’s malice and flying guardians while with every other champions tower it was just monsters or a challenge. This may mean that Ganon thought that the rito were more of a threat because of revali

Ngl this has to be the most understanding person I ever seen

My reason for revali being my favorite champion: *big bird*

Revali is still kind of an asshole sometimes, but I kind of like that about him. That, and his struggle to become the best version of himself is inspiring.

1:28 Man don't call me out like that😭😭

So falco in medivel times is better than falco good to know

I’m not going to lie, and please don’t judge me. But I’m a little disappointed in this new game. After playing BotW and TotK, this game just feels like it’s lacking something. It’s coming out too fast, I’m going to miss the old combat style, I’m not as big of a fan of the older game graphics, and it doesn’t feel like a Zelda game without Link’s presence. Also, just wanted to say that the weird stuff Link disappears into kind of reminds me of “gloom” or “malice”. And if this game means the end of the Zelda series, I’ll be super sad.

I can imagine linkedwolf going "WAIT IT'S MOLGERA?!" When playing

Fun fact about Windblight's theme in every other blight theme the divine beasts call out an SOS immediately at the first sign of trouble but it takes windblights theme 14 seconds this could suggest that Revali had trouble calling out for help which is a little sad. Fun fact about SAD sad meaning seek and destroy which plays overriding Vah Medoh's call

Song at 2:43?

I look back at this vid and feel kinda sad over how shafted Revali was in TOTK, he's the only one who didn't seem to leave as much as an impact as the other champions. Like it was a lil infuriating seeing this and then see Tulin inherit abilities, like heck. Revali is a pretty silently tragic character. He will always remain number 1 in my heart.

You are so underrated and your videos are amazing. Because of you I have realized that Revali isn’t such a bad champion, and that he had it harder than the other champions. Good job, you have earned another subscriber. 🔥🔥

Revali is also my favorite character, and I wish we could've seen more of him. I was thinking of the Idea of a Rival throughout the game, fighting him each time you come close to approaching a Divine beast, except his. In my idea, He would've beat Windblight, and still have control over the beast, but dies to age. Revali only helps if you fight him in a duel, determining which one of the two is better at combat. he would bud in every now and then, giving some light pointers the more far ahead link gets through the game. Afterall, it would make *slight* sense of him being able to beat it. We've seen him train tirelessly from the DLC, and he clearly has the skills to beat windblight. ...if it wasn't night time.

Yes links champion ability is his bullet time I always assumed it referred to how he can shoot arrows mid air but I suppose flurry rush is that same power to.

I always hated that the story leaves out the 5th divine that link was destined to champion Vah Vroom. (Master cycle zero)

I belive mipha is the best character. But I love ravioli.

Revali will forever be one of the sages of wind along with Tulin I dont care if im delusional about this

Oh the Zelda Fanbase even I love Zelda but I can't the Fanbase at times especially with Skyward Sword, Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks.

Revali’s birth is very significant to his character. As far as I’ve seen, he has no family of any sort that can support or encourage him, and after he dies, he’s almost completely forgotten. He wanted to build the flight range to help future generations, he created Revali’s Gale to make the Rito more capable and powerful, he dedicated himself completely to his people, and yet they forgot him. In Breath of the Wild only the elder, Teba, and Heath remember anything about him unlike Mipha who’s a martyr with her own statue and has a city of people that mourn her death. By the time Totk rolls around, he’s mostly remembered as the rito champion while Mipha is still being honored and celebrated (as well as Daruk and Urbosa). Revali is selfless, hardworking, and brave, yet his facade made people both in-game and irl dismiss him as a jerk that’s not as honorable or noteworthy as the other champions. Another point worth noting is his death in conjunction with his memory Revali’s Flap. In the memory he notes that Link has no way of making it up to Divine Beast Van Medoh on his own, and in his final moments, Revali knows that he has no chance of salvation. There is no backup or support coming for him. The only people that could help are the other Rito, and who would dare try to combat an enemy that even the Great Revali was struggling with? He was completely isolated in his final moments, with no loved ones to miss him or even think of him in his dying moments. Revali was a prodigy that lived a lonely life and died full of regrets. Today I replayed his illusory battle with Medoh and he asked how Rito village was doing. He said “I can’t fathom that it’s been 100 years… There’s no one left who would even know me. But even so, it will always be my home.” There is no quote of his that more perfectly encapsulates his tragedy than this, this lonely, selfless bird whose path left him with nothing.
