[@TheMrAlexander]

The theory about the guts twitching is cool but in real life recently severed limbs or killed organisms can still twitch and convulse for over an hour after death. It was probably something one of the designers added in as a way to make the player feel creeped out at the same time as drawing attention to the item in the same way that other items sparkle or shine.

[@lschnitzer7770]

Fun Fact In the german localization the guts are named hearts, probably because they're hearts.

[@azure4622]

@A B well guts sometimes refer to all organs in the torso rather than just the stomach, like when a hunter guts their prey they don't only take the stomach out.

[@LonelySpaceDetective]

But then why do the guts keep twitching even when you pull them out of your inventory roughly 12 weeks of in-game time later? Though thinking about it, killed animals like frogs miraculously get revived when you pull them out of Link's sack, so maybe this is just a game thing.

[@rhettmitchell]

@@LonelySpaceDetective I mean Link doesn’t kill any of the frogs or bugs he catches, he just shoves them in his pockets. If you throw them on the ground from your inventory they’ll just run away

[@LonelySpaceDetective]

@@rhettmitchell Never tried bombing the frogs? You can do that and it makes them fall over twitching (presumably post-mortem spasms), letting you pick them up easy. I imagine you can do the same with arrows but I haven't tried shooting them. I don't think this works with insects; they just seem to disappear when killed.

With the final theory about the monster remains and continuous death and rebirth...it reminds me of the Legend of Zelda cartoon. Every time one of Ganon's monsters is "zapped," it returns to the Evil Jar in a kind of...unlife. The creature is trapped there until Ganon either eliminates them or resurrects them from the Jar. It was a neat idea, and I'm glad that BOTW used a similar concept with the Blood Moons.

[@kenziebalhatchet3918]

I’ve only had that happen while fighting the one in farron

[@HavocHounds1988]

What if the lightning that struck the silver enemies to turn them gold was from the dragon Farosh? I believe he is the green one, perhaps he tried to neutralize them, and instead it infused them with the divine power of the great dragon and combined with Ganon's malice. This could also explain the gold color since Farosh is the dragon that lives near the Spring of Courage. Maybe due to the shear strength of Ganon's malice, they were able to absorb the energies from the dragon instead of getting harmed by it.

[@Marigold11037]

We see Naydra covered and corrupted by Malice, so maybe at some point in the lore of Master Mode, ganon had all three dragons under his power, but lost control of them? Then it would make sense why Farosh's lightning was used despite the dragon being on the side of the goddesses This also creates a cool image of the three dragons fighting to escape Ganon. Dinraal used its overwhelming power, possibly to avoid ever being corrupted, Farosh used its courage but perhaps took longer to escape due to its representation of the trforce of courage being alseep, leading to its lighting being used, and Naydra remained under Ganon's control as Zelda, the triforce of wisdom, was so weakened and trapped inside calamity ganon while she tried to keep him trapped

[@senthenerd5332]

A little theory I just came up with; what if the reason Ganon's power briefly escapes, causing the Blood Moon, is that after a monster is slain and explodes into Malice, it then gets added to Ganon? After all, Blood Moons usually occur after Link has slain to many monsters. Perhaps this is because Ganon has accumulated enough 'mass' to break free of Zelda's power, if only for a night, and he then releases the monsters back into the world? After all, when they're revived, in the cutscene that happens during every Blood Moon, the monsters are shown being you're not reading this reformed from Malice. Also, sidenote, as far as I can tell, almost none of the monsters shown in the cutscene look like monsters we can actually fight in game, so perhaps they are still reforming from Malice, and it's a longer process than we thought?

[@Jo-dk9my]

Does anyone, except myself, think that we will see Purah and her aging disaster in more detail? I really hope we get to.

It’s not really a game mechanic, and more something to keep the lynel from getting stuck indefinitely. They’ll also teleport if they leave their spawn area and haven’t taken damage in a while, and won’t be hostile if far enough away from it as well.

[@silverkyre]

The Lynel on the mountain near the Zora did it to me once when I flew down cause I didn't want fight it and it teleported. It was fricken terrifying because I didn't know they could do that and for a bit I had no idea where it went and was looking around only for it to appear a few slopes down right in front of me.

The monster parts being infused with malice poses so many more questions! Link is literally ingesting them for the qualities that the malice augments, so is malice the source of the buffs that Link gets from elixirs?

Is Link become that much more infected with malice with every elixir he drinks?

[@Supasmartguy]

Ganon and Demise are the same person with the same memories, and here's the proof: READ ALL OF IT!!!! Demise says "I will rise again" after cursing link (not "my hatred will rise again", But "I will rise again"), Ganondorf had the same hair and eyes as Demise when he burst from the rubble of the castle in ocarina of Time, the oil painting flashback scene in Skyward Sword shows Demise in a form that's eerily similar to dark beast Ganon in breath of the wild, and Zelda says that dark beast Ganon is "a pure embodiment of the ancient evil that is reborn time and time again.", Demise and Ganondorf have identical faces, theme music, and speech patterns, and Ganondorf even quoted part of the Demise's curse in twilight princess, (which he only could have known if he was the one who cast it), Ganon somehow knew about (and how to defeat or resurect) the ancient dragon volvagia, the Deku tree, and Jabu-jabu in Ocarina of time, maybe because he met them as Demise long ago, Koloktos and the cursed bokoblins from skyward sword are filled with malice identical to Ganon's malice in BOTW, the wound on Ganondorf's chest in twilight princess is identical to the one on Demise's forhead (which was caused as the imprisoned by a pillar stab in the forehead, the same type of attack, a stab, that caused the wound in twilight princess), in Ganondorf's palutena's guidance conversation in Super Smash Bros. ultimate, Viridi says that " link is technically a different person in each Incarnation, but some people say that Ganondorf is the same person born over and over again.", and link and Zelda reincarnate, so why not demise? As for Wind Waker Ganondorf being used as a piece of evidence against my theory, he could very well only be a Broken Man due to losing his people and powers and not having a kingdom to conquer, as for ganon not recognizing link in Ocarina of time being used as evidence against it, ganon also dosen't seem to recognize link in wind waker, twilight princess, or a Link to the past, probably because he knows link reincarnates and is just so unsurprised by his appearance to stop him that it looks like he doesn't recognize him when, in fact, he does. As for demise being sealed in the sword and decaying being used as a piece of evidence against it, it could only be his body decaying, which is not that big a leap in logic when you think about it, and ganon has escaped seals tons of times, so why couldn't he escape one extra time? And as for the name change, it could be to hide the fact that he's still alive from Hylia. DISAGREE WITH THAT!!!!!!😏😈

@@soapy247 Same, it got to a point where I started actively hunting Lynels for their weapons and materials like I was running errands. They became less difficult and more time consuming

[@GabePuratekuta]

@@soapy247 Oh, I know how to. But I suck at timing.

[@tjeerdtrekkie1030]

I absolutely love the random calm shots of the various landscapes throughout the video (at 1:06 for instance). It's great filler material for when you don't have anything to show beside what you are talking about. And they are great for wallpapers

[@HylianLuke]

It's really strange yet awesome to see some of my footage in one your videos. Glad I was able to help you out! The video was superb as usual. Cheers! :D

[@coitze8704]

Bruh i can't wait for Botw 2. There's bound to be more Zeltik videos by then😂😂😂😂

[@ThunderGun2]

11:33 I understood that reference.

[@wraithgames]

Ha! Same!

[@zeldaenby224]

Are you sure that was a reference? It's kind of a generic 'how to kill an undead'

[@Ciccigreen]

This was a great format for a video! I hope you’ll make more!

[@owenbingham942]

Thanks for doing small theory videos like this Zeltik! I’m always amazed just how many there are.

[@UltimateTobi]

Great theories, especially the last one about Malice forcing monster to stay "alive"/be reincarnated. Truly horrifying if you ask me. Poor Bokoblins. I always feel bad killing them.

[@robbiestrong-morse730]

One of the reasons breath of the wild is probably my favorite game of all time is that it is the only game in a fictional world where I can see something that, AFTER 3 YEARS, is unexplained and am forced to try and assume what happened to make some random thing happen. Like the skulls where the bokoblins live. My theory: The Shekiah needed to form such incredible stealth technology to fight and escape these giant beasts in their time. Either those beasts eventually evolved into lynels, smaller, faster, smarter versions of themselves, or they get hunted to extinction by the Shekiah. But instead of decomposing, calamity Ganon found the last of these skulls and made them stronger so they can be homes for bokoblins and, when the bokoblins see fit, be destroyed by explosives to kill intruders but keep the homes. But Ganon also keeps these skulls for another purpose. Once he finally defeats Zelda he planned to harness his power to bring those giant monsters back.

[@cassidy1373]

Hey! awesome video! Also I think that in the compendium when it says they're resistant to electricity it means they aren't stunned by the electric effect for as long, if you test them for how long they stay in the stun animation its a lot less than normal enemies, hopefully this helped! I love your videos ^-^

Monster Maze did good :) all interesting small theories good job both of you

[@j.lott-hake6136]

In german it called „Herz“ that mean heart.

[@YellowLink10]

I've got a little something to add to the monster guts part. Perhaps when the blood moon rises and ganon's power is at a peak, he is able to draw the last bits of life from the guts and therefore ressurect the monster with a newly formed physical form. This is somewhat disproven by the fact that they don't dissapear from Link's inventory every blood moon, but I thought that was interesting.

[@bazejwilinski7731]

To the first theory, remember how Demise, the original evil in the timeline used thunderstorms to power up his blade? And Ganondorf himself also uses a lot of electricity magic like the electric balls in the tennis fight? Yeah, electricity was always Ganondorf's signature energy. As you mentioned Urbosa's fury, Ganondorf is also a Gerudo. Is electricity a power associated to Gerudo or.. is Urbosa and Ganondorf blood connected?

[@SirPonnd]

You and Monster Maze are my favorite Zelda channels, so this was a treat for me.

Man your narrating voice is next level! Every time you have a guest it who speaks! Ya not the same!

[@Artist-128]

I love the last theory! I wonder if that will tie in with Breath of the Wild’s sequel in some way. I can definitely see it applying to the body of Ganondorf.

[@Mote.]

Your theories are my favorites

[@janellelinklater9744]

I haven't been playing breath of the wild lately but after watching your videos it inspired me to play the game again

Honestly I watch these videos because I love the theory’s and I really like zeltik as it is

[@bowenorcutt78]

Robbie strikes me as a "messing with things that should not be messed with" type of mad scientist. So him trying to make mass-produceable replicas of the Master Sword makes sense.

[@thegreatmajora5089]

This is exactly what i needed before bed

[@bahmot9501]

Just a small little detail: in German the monster guts aren’t translated into the German word for guts ( which doesn’t even really have a translation ) but rather into the German word for heart. For example : bokoblin guts would become Bokblin Herz. Which honestly makes a lot more sense but would sound far darker in the English version.
