About zant, one of the most popular theories as to why zant dealt the killing blow to ganondorf is the fact that Zant got a fraction of the power housed in Ganondorf. Zant was the last thing keeping him alive that long.

[@ProVictini]

Oh, you've really hit the nail on the head with that theory! The idea that Zant's connection to Ganondorf through the power he received plays a pivotal role in how he ultimately dealt that finishing blow is absolutely fascinating. It's like Zant was inadvertently tied to Ganondorf's lifeforce, and his downfall led to Ganondorf's downfall. The intricacies of power dynamics and alliances in the Zelda universe never cease to amaze me. The theory not only gives Zant's character more depth but also adds an extra layer of complexity to the epic battle against Ganondorf. It's these kinds of thought-provoking interpretations that make being part of the Zelda community such a thrilling experience! 🗡🛡

Hey Dobbs, love your videos man, but 1 correction. The reason Majoras Mask doesnt do anything in BoTW is because at the end of Majoras Mask, the Happy Mask Salesman confirms that the evil has left the mask once you defeat Majoras Mask.

[@coryfreake9070]

Or it's not in the child timeline and the Happy Mask Salesman got it out of Termina safely. There's clearly power in it in Breath of the Wild due to the eyes still glowing, something it doesn't do st the end of MM.

[@moriichi5218]

@@coryfreake9070Sadly no. They said that they’ll leave it up to the players imagination, and remember the facts. The downfall timeline doesn’t have Rito, and the Zora are similar to their original OoT selves. The Mirror of Twilight can be found destroyed, which is only destroyed in the Child Timeline (and I doubt a random enemy could just walk up to it and destroy it), and the fact that the Majora’s Mask is even in the game at all proves that it’s most likely that the timelines came back together. Sure, Majora’s Mask may have a little power, but it’s also heavily implied that the Happy Mask Salesman made a bunch of replicas and sold them. Evidence by the fact that even in the downfall timeline, ALBW Link just has one on his wall. And, if it was still completely powered, then BOTW Link wouldn’t be able to wear it without it completely taking control. Majora’s Mask isn’t weak, and Link is still human, so Majora could easily take him over (I mean, he does have some darkness in his heart, since Dark Link wouldn’t exist. And I know that only the Hero of Hyrule and the Hero of Time have Dark Links, but that just further proves that Link isn’t completely emotionless and always on the moral high ground.)

@@moriichi5218 Rito in BotW and WW are completely biologically and culturally different, the OoT Zora still exist in OoX, that's also not the mirror of Twilight, just a really, really bad fan theory.

Ganondorf gave Zant some of his power so Zant could take over Hyrule. Ganondorf was going to use his power to live a fatle blow, like he did at the begging of the game, but had some power in Zant.

[@lordnul1708]

Yona being a thing makes sense imho, given that as the heir to the throne/successor to the throne, Sidon is expected to make an heir of his own. Not to mention SidLink didn't make sense. He's the brother in law that doesn't hate us even though we didn't protect his sister who wanted to marry us... and Link knew Sidon when Sidon was a very young child (which makes shipping Sidlink romantically is actually toxic). Link and Sidon would make much more sense as wingmen for one another than as romantic partners.

[@thefirespecialist9007]

So, when it came down to Zant and Ganondorf (Fact 20), i haven't played the game in years, but i feel like i remember, due to Ganondorf swearing to Zant to help Zant gain power, they became connected, maybe Ganondorf using Life Energy to bring Zant back, or something... imo, Zant dying weakened Ganondorf, and when Ganondorf almost got killed by Link, Ganondorf could have thought he was seeing things, but before moving on to the afterlife, Zant broke his own neck, snapping the kast of the life firce they shared, killing Ganondorf himself, probably out of spite that Ganondorf never made good on his word, and from that moment both Zant and Ganondorf have died!

[@FatherBanana]

Yes, Zant thought of Ganondorf as a god, when Zant died, I think he realized Ganon used him for gain, and he was never going follow though. I believe as Ganon was dying, he saw Zant and then that happened.

Here's some info for you. Which Link and Zelda are the same people for each game, from the farthest back in history to the youngest: OG timeline 1) Skyward Sword 2) The Minish Cup 3) Four Swords {Timelines split into 3} Child Timeline 4) Ocarina Of Time, Majora's Mask 5) Twilight Princess 6) Four Sword Adventure Adult Timeline 7) Wind Walker, Phantom Hourglass 8) Spirit Track Fallen Hero Timeline 9) A Link To The Past, Link's Awakening, Oracle Of The Seasons, Oracle Of The Ages, A Link Between Worlds, Tri Force Heroes 10) The Legend Of Zelda, Adventure Of Link {All 3 timeline result in the Unified timeline 10,000 years later} Unified Timeline 11) Breath Of The Wild, Hyrule Warriors - Age Of Calamity, Tears Of The Kingdom So there are (currently) 11 different Links and Zeldas. Or 12 if you consider that the Link and Zelda from Hyrule Warriors - Age Of Calamity exist in a separate timeline from BotW and TotK.

[@coryfreake9070]

There are actually 17. The First Hero The Hero of the Sky The Hero of Men The Hero of Minish The Hero of the Four Sword The Hero of Time The Hero of Twilight The Hero of Four The Hero of Light (FSA) The Hero of the Winds The Hero of Spirit The Hero of Legend The Hero of Light (AST) The Hero of Essences The New Hero of Hyrule The Hero of Hyrule The Ancient Hero The Hero of the Wilds And if you are counting Link from AoC then there's 18.

[@multiversal_guardian7079]

2:00 I'm pretty damn sure this is completely false in every way. Calamity Ganon has nothing to do with a failed reincarnation, it's something created by the Ganondorf under Hyrule Castle. People figured this out months ago when TotK released, hell they even speculated it from the first TotK teaser. The change from Malice to Gloom may make it odd and confusing, but Calamity Ganon is definitely just a creation made by Ganondorf's power. The seal binding Ganondorf under the castle has been weakening over time, and the Calamity is a manifestation of his power that happens as he gets closer to breaking free. There's a lot to back this up, such as the location for where both Ganondorf and the Calamity emerge being from under the castle.

[@shadowsniper37]

Calamity Ganon is 10,000 years old and was created because Ganondorf wasn’t able to reincarnate so he gave up and became the calamity. The part where he says that if any of them fail to reincarnate they become a calamity isn’t true though.

[@multiversal_guardian7079]

@@shadowsniper37 Even then, he still created the Calamity, and to say he "became" it is debatable as that has never once been stated and is purely speculation, without that much evidence to back it up, in fact there's arguably more evidence against it. If he himself had become the Calamity, he would have recognized Link for defeating the Calamity he created, but he didn't and only knew because the Master Sword cut him when it shattered. If he'd actually become the Calamity, you'd think he'd retain at least a few of those memories, especially of it's defeat, but he has none of them. I think it's solely a matter of he created it, but didn't turn into it. Could he have had some influence over it? Probably, yeah. I'd say it would be similar to how he has control over the monsters, being able to resurrect them when he has enough power. The gaps between the Calamity's existence could be akin to how he waits for the Blood Moon and his power peaks to bring back monsters, the Calamity takes a lot so he took 10,000 years between the two known appearances of the Calamity because it took that long to get that much back with the seal in place.
