20 YEARS of Twilight Princess Mysteries in 12 Minutes

[@BanditGames]

Do you think we'll FINALLY get Twilight Princess HD on the Switch 2??

[@Flaris]

I sure hope so! Would love the excuse to play through this game again. That and to just have it on a modern console.

[@minecraftchickenmen]

Hey bandit, gotta point this out, there is exactly 1 Shiekah you overlooked in Twilight Princess. That's Impaz of the hidden village. There's almost none of them but they still exist and the fact that she has the ancient sky book as a relic of the hylian royal family doubles down on our proof for the Shiekah connection.

[@DrDolan2000]

Yes; and Wind Waker HD. It'll be a double release. They're both coming real soon Edit: Or maybe that's just what I want

[@killerking1966]

I hope so

[@Cliffordlonghead]

hii

[@BirdieSenpai]

The biggest mystery I want solved is, if I'm standing on Death Mountain, what the heck is that other volcano in the distance?

[@BanditGames]

Ah I see your mystery and raise you a remember Dragon Roost and Fire Mountain from wind waker…? Also hi old friend!

[@BirdieSenpai]

@BanditGames Ooo, touché, old pal; it's great to see ya, buddy! Hope you've been in good health and enjoying life!

[@n1nj4l1nk]

Search Hyrule maps i m g u r post from the 10th of March 2015. It's by far the best theory I've come across for how the land changes over the eras and may explain the multiple volcanoes. It's also based on the continent you can see from the Palace of Winds from MC. I would post a link but then yt would delete the comment.

[@Sabcy2]

@@BanditGames Fire mountain is Death mountain. it's a constantly active volcano that gives you strength enhancing bracelets. you know, the goron kind.

[@jamiek8123]

isn't death mountain just the southern most tip of a range of volcanic mountains, and its just the only one in Hyrule?

[@TallonPrey]

All the Canadian sleeper agents got activated while watching this video

[@this_is_diamond_rot]

[@Soralink28]

Correct me if I am wrong but Impaz in the Hidden Village is a Sheikah. She has white hair and red eyes plus she says that she has ties to the royal family.

[@pokemonmaster1505]

Also, her name is literally just Impa with a Z

[@sharingheart13]

What if those races didn't go missing, but instead they all just moved after realizing that 99% of all the world's horrors seem to happen in Hyrule specifically?

[@modelomegatyler]

only like 75%. we've had places like holodrum, labrinya, two false realities made by two different magic whales, wherever new hyrule was, and tingle's rupee land.

[@AwesomeMutation]

was mildly dissapointed that the entire video wasn't Bandit saying "maple syrup" for 13 minutes straight.

[@ShepherdsCreek]

I definitely thought it was for a minute

[@DeadAccountdotdotdot]

I say we riot

[@chaos4654]

Keep in mind, Malo boughtout the shopowner who was originally selling the suit. The question is instead, where did *that* Chudley dude get the outfit?

[@ruaine83]

That thumbnail is awesome! I didn't realize how much I needed to see Link in Adeptus Ccustodes armor! Henry Cavill would be proud!!!

[@kazumawatanabe6924]

I was so confused but my Canadian friend busted out laughing out of no where… WHAT HAPPENED

[@YT-Stylis]

i asked him to say maple syrup 5 times with absolutely no context in his discord and i didnt think he would actually do it (my server nickname is king of maple syrup) 💀

[@BLAMigator]

The Gerudo were driven out of Hyrule after Ganondorf's banishment to the Twilight Realm according to the Zelda Encyclopedia. They do return in Four Swords Adventures which is canonically after Twilight Princess.

[@GreenOfFields]

I respect the sheer nerve it took to invoke canon with regards to Four Swords Adventures

[@tbush6657]

Don't forget that the way Malo got the armor was just because it was already for sale when he bought the store, where you can enter after getting your shoes clean, only to find out that everything is more expensive than your max rupee count

[@Sabcy2]

the kokiri being missing can be as simple as they do not appear to adults. The shiekah are also not missing my guy, you go to their village, meet Impa and get told they're dead. The gerudo are missing.

[@Sabcy2]

I'm sorry, Impaz.

[@jhopespicu5549]

was literally having pancakes when u said “maple syrup” i got scared

[@DrTimes99]

I'm sorry, I thought it was pretty much agreed the Castle Town from OoT got wrecked during the war with Ganondorf before his banishment and that the Sacred Grove is the town's ruins, that's why you find the original Temple of Time and the old Castletown fountain there. TP's Castle Town is "new construction" that occurred in the time gap.

[@JurisBlade]

It's hard to rule anything out when it's about the layout of Hyrule, but if Castle Town was destroyed between the "Child" era of Ocarina of Time and whenever Ganondorf was captured, I don't see how people would know that and agree upon it. If the Sacred Grove is the same location as the old Castle Town and the Temple of Time, every other landmark in Hyrule must have moved drastically during that century or two. Not just Hyrule Castle itself, but also Lake Hylia and Death Mountain.

[@SyoaranBarker]

Malo got his mits on the armor by buying out the previous store. The question is where that jerk got it from

[@Kazooples]

My theory/headcanon for the missing Kokiri is they are there, but they’re either hiding during this time of crisis, or they literally can’t be seen by adults anymore for their own protection, or maybe they just can’t be seen by anyone other than kokiris, to keep them safe, like I would assume the only reason monsters came to kokiri forest in OoT was because the Great Deku Tree was dead, but in Twilight Princess the new Deku Tree would be alive and well and protecting his fairy kids.

[@arrowrandoman]

Man, listening to the video on the other screen had me questioning that beginning. I thought I'd come across a weird ad. XD You certainly caught my attention, Bandit.

[@Zaynyak51]

I always thought that the Twili were the sheikah race banished to the Twilight realm

@BanditGames I Really Miss These Great Theories!!! Our Buddy Is Back With A Vengeance, With "Maple Syrup" On It!!! 💪💪💪💪💪

[@jinho_sshi]

My god why is this man so gorgeous??? *crap, internal thoughts won again* Ahem *cough cough* Great video as usual Dadd- I MEAN BANDIT!!!

[@tuberobsessor]

It's also likely that the Kokiri are still around, just deeper in the lost woods. I could be wrong about this, but I seem to remember something about the Kokiri being able to make themselves unseen.

[@JurisBlade]

The "shadow folk", the Sheikah, could probably accomplish the same thing, if they wanted to. Communities that are very good at being invisible could easily still be around without us realizing it. (People have mentioned Impaz, and I agree, but the point stands. An abandoned town and a sole "survivor" would make a good cover for a group of people who are in hiding.)

[@tinaarenee433]

MAPLE SYRUP Edit: Okay so I watched lol--great vid! The Rauru statue thing is actually news to me since I've actually only played the GCN version of the game at this point. This game is so full of mysteries--so many things that are easy to miss, so thank you for finding some new things that I am going to start thinking about (as if I needed to think about Twilight Princess on my free time anymore, amiright)?

[@killerking1966]

I've also been thinking about the magic armor being a royal armor, I also have a theory that during the game's development, Link was originally supposed to marry Zelda, but it was scrapped

[@jeansnow1116]

Sirop d'érable (Mapple Syrup in French) Thank you for gifting this great video to us! I've always loved your theories even the Ganondorf toad one (not this toad: 🍄)

[@knightofarnor2552]

Malo got his hands on the magic armor because it was already in the inventory of the store he buys in Castle Town. You can actually go in there before it's a Malo Mart if you talk to a kid who offers to shine your boots for you, the items for sale are the same as when Malo owns it, but all comically overpriced.

[@uzeconshikory8174]

Impaz right there in the hidden village last of the shiekah

[@shark_girl]

The true mystery is maple syrup. An unsolved wonder of The Legend of Zelda: Maple Syrup Princess.

[@GreenOfFields]

I have a very simple head-canon to the Temple of Time being so far away from Castle Town: my theory is that following Ganondorf’s attempted invasion of Hyrule, the castle and accompanying town may have been badly damaged in the battle and abandoned, with a new castle and new town built in a new location with the Lost Woods expanding and reclaiming the environment around the old Castle Town and the Temple of Time.

[@danielled8665]

Okay but how did you summon me like that? *Canadian*

[@JurisBlade]

There was once a Hylian family that I could imagine commissioning such a set of armor -- before the entire family was stricken with a horrifying curse.... ~The Fall of the House of Skulltula~

[@karrde5566]

well first time viewer of the channel and im met with maple syrup maple syrup maple syrup... this is gonna be one heck of a video! lol

[@FenrirGrayhound]

"Maple Syrup Mason, WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?"

[@ceresbane]

Surprised Impaz isn't mentioned as the only in game remnant of the Sheikah. Who might not even know she's one herself before being abandoned in that town.

[@sagacious03]

Interesting analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

[@b00mtrap83]

Maple syrup?

[@KaneCold]

I also wonder ... is that a Bofuri reference?

[@twilight_link07]

The Twilight Princess realm/world is by far the most magical and historical in my opinion. The world is yes empty but it does hold that history I pray for a Twilight Princess on switch or Game 2 that we could have had

[@TipsySpinda]

There are 2 Shiekah in Twilight Princess, Impaz and the fortune teller

[@zimmerwald1915]

12:30 Isn't this exactly what we're told happened in the game? Ilia tells us that the Hidden Village "belonged to the tribe that protected the Hylian royal family long ago," which is a dead-ringer description of the Shiekah, but that they "dwindled in the prolonged wars."

[@Darkdragen2525]

I thought Telma was implied to be a Gerudo and Imapz and Madame Fanadi were implied to be Shika.

[@luzifershadres]

I personaly like the non canonic manga explanation for Majoras mask the most. That wouldd also explain how noledge spread between 2 worlds, due to majora beeing a timeless deity beforehand.

[@jessejames8358]

I legit feel like I’ve grown up with you bro. Your videos drop and it’s like, I’m 15 again. Looking up zelda content to fill the gap and wait for BOTW to come out.

[@DonutSwordsman]

Whoa mystery 2 and its OOT connection with the temple is soooooo goood! Please do a solo video really getting into that i think you have to be right honestly

[@lavillahawthorn5608]

Bruh it’s like 2am and I’m alone that maple syrup bit messed me up

[@Griffball20]

Bandits back baby

[@TheCludo]

1.If you play twilight Princess in german it is confirmed that the Zora armor as seen in TP Was meant to be made for the hero of time. 2.The kokiri tribes probably died because the deku trees protection Was no longer a thing since the deku trees sprout did not grow in this timeline. 3.There is a high probabiloty the shiekah also went extinkt after impa was the last living member in Oot, besides that I can imagine impaz who is living in the obviously previos place called kakariko to be the New last of the shiekah. 4.The gerudo have probably been slaughtered in the war to capture Ganondorf as they probably would have been loyal to him as their King.

[@mario_maniac9368]

Loved the video. Its funny, i e been watching your ild videos the last couple days and its fun to see you go back and explain some old theories or make new ones. Always enjoy the zelda vids my son also loves your boss lore video lol he watches it all the time

[@xiohmamack9272]

I hope so 🤞❤

[@schaesokol2176]

i always thought the term sheikah described more of an occupation than a race

[@zeldatime281]

the magic armour was never found my malo it just always in the shop they take over and it cost 10k and only once they make the shop malo mart it goes down too 598

[@Grimm0351]

I thought one of us was having a stroke.

[@chrisd6287]

The TOTK Temple of Time looks like a parking garage

[@laggianput]

The magic armour was owned by the snobby store before malo buys it, and is sold as being for snobby rich people who want to be invincible with all their money

[@RayanKelai]

My theory is that the magic armor was made for the princess's royal guard (oot link) but servants accidentally sold it and it ended up in Malo Mart

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

It's implied that the fortune teller Madame Fanadi is a Shiekah as well. She has red eyes and the eye symbol on her clothes. She seems to have blonde haired but I don't think white hair for Shiekah had been set in stone yet. Any other explanations would be down to speculation.

[@Peace.and.knowledge1]

Another Twilight Princess video ?! It's about time 🤘

[@xiohmamack9272]

🎉

[@Revanaught]

I think we're overthinking the magic armor a little bit. Malo got his hands on it because he bought the store that already had. Chudley's Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium. And the armor has the description "Armor for the richest and most prestigious customers who value their lives over their rupee". It's pretty cut and dry. Chudley had a fancy suit of armor made, with the intention of selling it to someone rich. Like...that's it. That's generally how shops work.

[@racheldavis743]

I had the captions on for a minute and it was syrup maple 😂

[@ceresbane]

Kinda want a magic armour set in the next breath of the wild like game simply because it looks so nice. Could just be basically a golden knight set but you know... I think its neat.

[@AnonymousDragonWolf]

Isn't there a Sheikah in TP? The old lady in that hidden village full of cats? Or am I just misremembering?

[@PhoenixDening-cz5wd]

The hero's shade is minish cap link as he teaches you the great spin attack due to minish cap being the previous Zelda game and it kinda fits as he couldn't talk about his adventure as him and the the royal family probably decided to keep the picori unconfirmed so that people wouldn't search for them

[@klokanariur]

next video say «clay» 5 times in a row, it would make my day

[@hitamiotaku7594]

subscribed cuz I’m feeling nice 😌

[@greatestever8269]

Zelda is the only game worth talking about

[@PhoenixDening-cz5wd]

Oh my the interlopers were the species from totk we never actually see outside of the ancient hero's aspect

[@graythepokemonartist6427]

The mystery I want solved is…. WHERE THE HECK THE DIVINE BEASTS AND MASTER CYCLE WENT!!!! I know this isn’t a TP Mystery but it’s driving me nuts

[@netherlordgaming995]

"maple syrup" Me: CANADA!!!!

[@thehero_oftime04]

I just spent 300 to replay twilight princess… and then this video is made…

[@gurgus]

0:02 our national anthem! 🍁

[@moonlightdawn7249]

The armour could belong to Zelda's brother. Maybe in the continuity of twilight princess, the armour belonged to her LATE brother but he never got to use it for some unknown reason known only to Zelda herself. That's my best guess.

[@Pixel22-fs3tt]

Theory. The magic armor in game actually give TP Link credence to marry TP Zelda

[@moonlightdawn7249]

@Pixel22-fs3tt (shrugs)

[@no1guy825]

Is Impaz not a Sheikah, in the Hidden Village (Old Kakariko)?

[@domdude64dd]

So I says to maple I says, syrup

[@JurisBlade]

Bart!

[@zeldafan1315]

Isn't the Lady in the Old Kakariko town a version of Impa? Meaning the shieka are in TP? Or am I wrong?

[@notsans9995]

I'm glad im not the only one wondering about the Zoras lol, with BoTW giving them elf life spans, it should actually be very possible for OoT era Zoras to still be alive in TP, in fact Rutella could easly be Rutos daughter or grand daughter at the very least. You'd think atleast one of them wouldve recognized Links descendant, its not like there are allot of Hylians walking where that specific kind of tunic, even some of the NPCs think his clothing is weird/outdated.

[@jeremycaswell]

So i just had a thought. In the old games, ruaru, the temple of time, the sheikah, everything we know is incredibly old, most likely thousands of years old, with each game having ruins and lingering aspects of previously built structures, old characters, names, and landmarks right? We know with Tears of the Kingdom that kind of got thrown out with the new lore that we're directly told, despite there STILL being remnants of old relics left behind in BOTW and ToTk, such as the mirror of twilight, signifiying that all the old games did still in fact happen despite new lore. So, my theory is that the entire kingdom of hyrule, and the surrounding lands are stuck in a timeloop, but not a normal one lile groundhog day. I think their stuck in the same series of events over and over, with slight differences each time. Twice we've seen ganondorf trick the king of hyrule, we have two raurus, and we know Fi is still alive in some form inside the mastersword, we've heard as much in the memories from BoTW and in ToTk when the sword breaks. So the way i see it, yeah the world is cursed to repeat itself the same way Link, Ganon and Zelda are, the same framework with different small details. Sidenote, i hope they bring back old characters someday. Not like old humans, but i mean like maybe Fi or Midna. The Twilight has no concept of time, so it would be interesting to see her return and grapple with the knowledge that her lost lover has passed centuries, or even millennia ago without her knowledge. Hell she could be the first sympathetic villain we have, with her anguish over the loss of her link causing her to spread the Twilight in an attempt to somehow bring back her own Link. Or with Fi, we could play as another Link not tethered to the Goddess' legacy like in Wind Waker, with this Link being a scavenger or something, finding the old, worn out master sword and cleaning and repairing it over time, somehow releasing Fi. I mean we know Fi started as a sort of living computer, so maybe a directive to somehow repair the sword could cause her to awaken, and have to deal with the world and people she knew being long gone. Maybe we could explore and sift through the ruins and relics of old Eras, maybe come upon small shards of broken, nearly powerless timeshift stones at the proverbial bottom of the world, the oldest evidence of what once was. Maybe it would flicker and open to reveal an old, frail zelda from skyward sword one final time. Just some thoughts lol

[@a.g7891]

What if there aren't actual human-like Kokiri? What if they've always been koroks? Link was sent to live with the Deku tree and the koroks. But the deku tree felt like Link would feel lonely living with little plant creatures, so he assigned a fairy to follow the koroks around using magic to make the koroks look like kids. That's why Link didn't have a fairy. He didn't need one, he was a kid. Thoughts?

[@KevinVeroneau]

Twilight Princess is still one of my most replayed in the series as well, although it's been awhile since I replayed, but I think I'm just secretly holding up for a better HD version on the Switch 2. I hope they can take the enhancements to it from that Zelda U teaser that we never got, especially now given the potential power of the Switch 2.

[@Retr0_Gaming527]

Didn't Malo get the suit of Magic armour because he bought out the super fancy shop where everything was super overpriced?

[@BanditGames]

This is true

[@alguemalguem]

I wish that TP's Magic Armor was present in BotW/TotK like many other sets were, always liked its design.

[@katherynyoung9923]

I haven't given much thought to most of these, but I certainly am thinking about them now! I dearly hope we will finally get a new hd version with the new switch -- TP is one of my favorite LoZ games and though I still have my GameCube copy bought at release, I'd love to be able to play on a switch as well.

[@user-er5xo1bm9k]

Reminded me i need to buy syrup

[@coolhexc1]

Maybe the Sheikah are the interlopers in TP, as well as the Yiga in BOTW/TOTK

[@Fuzzy452]

0:02 you have my attention (I’m Canadian)

[@Nyperold018]

Sub-mystery: Easy, the shop Malo bought out had it in its inventory. Doesn't explain how they got hold of it... What do you think of the possibility that Telma is a Gerudo?

[@Glitsch99]

So its been a long time since i last played Twilight princess, to long in fact, but i seem to remember a old lady in the hidden Village that i always assumed to be one of the shika, in fact i assumed the whole hidden Village was related to the tribe

[@thefoxesmind]

I really hope that they bring back the Kokiri(sp?). I'm INCREDIBLY sick of the Koroks.

[@tbush6657]

I think Impa in the child half of OoT it also was said that Impa was the last of the Sheikah as well

[@sol705VS]

What if the Master Sword never moved and the Royal Family just build a bigger castle and town north of OoT’s map? It also doesn’t look like the same Lake Hylia. Zelda’s geography is so fucked up 😂

[@PlayersPurity]

Oh yeah, compared to OoT map, Kakariko Village/Death Mountain and Zora's Domain have basically switched places 😂

[@lilyw03]

... maple syrup?

[@frostycane5134]

I wish the magic armor was in totk as an alternate to the magic owl gear

[@philipbriggs8713]

Smart way to get people to immediately click off your video that pal.

[@fusiongamer9795]

Great video!

My big question is why is Link right handed in this lol

[@braydenmaine4818]

Canadian here, for what is the reason you called 🤔

[@EchosOfWhiterun_5555DocOfStyle]

Hey Bandit: I really hope that we do get *Twilight Princess* to finally be released on the *Switch2* and I have to ask... What is with the *Maple Syrup* motif that you got going on here? ~ JonseyG 👲💖

[@Stequal2]

I thought Madame Fanadi was also a sheikah cause the symbol and the red eyes. And honestly, thought Telma was a Gerudo, too. She has the Gerudo symbol as much as Zant does.

[@Just_Flipy]

I always had this theory that Rusl was a Shieka. in fantasy lore, ESPECIALLY the lore they used to make twilight princess. kings would sometimes send out knights/agents into regions to mingle, have lives and report back to what happens there, denouncing their knighthood or, in this case, the shieka. this could have happened after the old kokiri town was abandoned, what better way to spread agents than during a mass migration? this might also explain the reason why the gerudo are gone, in reality they ARE NOT GONE. just look at BOTW where the arbiters ground is. its way to north from the gerudo town as we know it. which is strange because they WERE close in ocarina of time. my theory, they were only close BECAUSE of ganondolfs involvement and after he was gone they returned back to their main city in the desert. the way we get into the desert is strange as well, we go there, not by road, but by CANNON. either the gerudo destroyed the path getting in there and stayed as far away as possible due to Ganon's acts OR WE ARE JUST NOWHERE NEAR where they are due to our position. we already know in ocarina of time that traveling there requires help. i also have one mystery that no one seems to go around and thats the temple of time we get inside of Twilight princess. I do not think this temple is actually real, that was my first instinct all those years ago when I went in, and now, I think the same.something about that temple makes it seem fake. for example how they could move such a large statue without the proper tools all through it? and what most of its purpose was? in the other temples there WAS a purpose for each room, but there.... it was nothing? hell it is SUGGESTED that the door goes back in time.... but is that actually true? that entire temple is a mystery upon itself, from the moment you walk in and the moment you explore the actual dungeon inside, it all screams like it is not supposed to be there. my theory is, is that the temple of time, and its concept, is still that small church on the hill, in both Ocarina of time and BOTW. but that in twilight princess it was some sort of internal dungeon, fake, a test. or... when they wanted to design the dungeon, they FIRST wanted to use the lost woods portion of the game, where you see the ruins, to overlap, and maybe come and switch in time to move the puzzles around. but because that was to complex at the time, they settled on a long temple and only the portion back in time instead. like the whole "place your sword inside to open something" feels like something that should have returned more often as a concept in the game? even the first portion with the skullkid and the statues, feeeeeeels like a tutorial to that place? it is also strange how to get INTO the temple, you go UP some stairs straight into a window? that doesn't make sense at all? it would have made more sense to go BACK the way you were. it is really confusing? if I would have designed it, I would have designed some abandoned village with the temple attached on it and you actually go back and forth between time. changing the past and then go to the future to FIX the temple of time. but this might have made the map VERY complicated based on WHAT you do in the past and a possible reason why it could not have been implimented. but imagine going through destroyed ruins and then, in the future by placing your sword in the village square, straight to the past and move some things around to then go back and see a whole new area to explore. instead of a liniar temple with a spider at the end?
