I want to now what is at the very top of the sky.

[@waldilks]

The origin

[@waldilks]

@@Ppilldd Oo ye

[@BENETHwhy]

The connection to the underground

[@BENETHwhy]

If there is any

[@Xeno87]

I just want to note that in the teaser, Ganon makes the Castle rise up with red malice (and the malice also always looks to rise), but the things falling down are colored green. It's a nice juxtaposition.

[@Roriel]

Wonder if the triforce is broken up between the underground, surface and sky, three seperated realms so no one could find all three again. In order to get them maybe Ganon forces the three realms to intersect. I always wondered if the triforce fell out of common knowledge because the royal family didn't want another civil war or worse in the pursuit to get it. So they sealed each piece in each realm.. Ganon seems to always know their plans somehow, so the intersection could be his counter plan to force the pieces in to the same world where he can claim them. Which could explain why the islands seem to be breaking and falling to the surface, they were forcibly drawn in to the world and the magic that holds them up is being effected.

[@TheJcris87]

Zelda has her piece, and Ganon resurrected implies he has his. This wouldn't be the first time link is the odd man out if he doesn't have his, but the gold powers of that new hand imply he has it, or the hand does.

[@kellokabana2399]

5:20 The Lake Hylia theme from Twilight Princess is so soothing. That game is the reason I'm a Zelda fan today. I love it so much.

[@-xo_EB-]

My reason too. Such good childhood memories...😍

[@p1ayer234-5]

I think the random sh*t falling from the sky is what you'd use to go up to the sky islands.

[@Squiddon64]

Yeah, probably.

[@Juanpablothevolt64]

Hi

[@BENETHwhy]

Agreed

[@sethjansson5652]

Specifically with the return ability Link has. I believe the clip in the September trailer where he climbs on a rock in the Faron Woods is just that.

[@jockson7574]

*shit don’t be scared

[@Boss_Scaggz]

There are actually (at least) *two large spheres in the sky,* which can only be seen in the extended trailer scenes on the Japanese Zelda website iirc.

[@Iffem]

so the sky has two balls and a tower? interesting

[@Boss_Scaggz]

@@Iffem lmao, tbf there may be more, but yeah that symmetry is a little sus

[@lllllDoinkOnelllll]

​@@Iffem :D

[@heckmoheckmo5733]

theres a second smaller one in this shot, at 4.06 bottom right

[@cles6918]

around 5:30 you can see the dragon flying level with the sky islands! seems like this is, in fact, where the dragons reside. maybe this is all a sacred realm of sorts?

[@tryorse8340]

3:07 if that's a waterfall, then the zora armor will be so op

[@madisonlange7039]

Something I didn't notice until now was the dragon shown in the image from the trailer tower section. Glad to see the dragons will be back in some way!

[@craigmhgg]

I really like these theories - especially the one of the area around the tower being a tutorial. Never thought of that before!

[@InfernoWarden]

Considering there may be weapon crafting, I wonder if you can gather materials from the ore/stone that falls from the sky? Maybe Zonai material is just as useful as their magic and tech

[@jaredponder4149]

Artbook has an image that supports that..

[@Narcemus]

What if the origin of the sky islands is that they were always there, but they were hidden beyond the cloud barrier. They are now visible because Ganondorf has somehow broken the cloud barrier in an attempt to reach that realm, thus the rising Hyrule Castle.

[@Grimmjowluver123]

I kind of have a theory. What if the Sky Islands are remnants of Skyloft? While most of the residents left Skyloft after the events of Skyward Sword, and expanded and adapted to Hyrule, Skyloft is still up there in theory. Maybe some people stayed behind, not wanting to go the surface and continued to evolve/adapt. But over the years the residents died out (or perhaps became the Oocca) and the magic on Skyloft was dying over the centuries. Which results in parts of it falling.

[@topnotchtingles]

JUST as I'm headed to work. At least I have something to look forward to lol!

[@HyruleGamer]

Indeed!

[@sebastiandelatorre4662]

Very nice video! I'd love to see a one covering the strange giant shapes we see all over Hyrule's ground.

[@rafaelmoura2103]

isnt skyward sword a big hint of where these islands come from? :) most likely they come from above the cloud barrier and ganondorf is trying to reach them by lifting hyrule castle, i strongly suspect the castle will rise as we progress through the game

[@elfmonster3082]

I think the islands were always there, but rendered invisible by the sky barrier. When the dragons leave in BotW, they ascend through a portal to somewhere.

[@Manacra13]

I actually had an interesting idea for the origin of the sky islands after recently finishing A Link Between Worlds again (I’m trying to finish every game in the series in order before TotK comes out). Anyway, in ALBW, some have already pointed out the design of the sacred realm is very similar to the aesthetic of the sky islands. It’s clear from the most recent trailer gannondorf is done playing around by submitting the kill order. My theory is that Gannon somehow figured out a way to thin the barrier between Hyrule and the sacred realm. He summons the sky islands after the Princess was sent plummeting under ground and the blade of evils bane was shattered. He sent Hyrule castle to the sky to attempt to claim the triforce and intends to wipe out all citizens of Hyrule to end the kingdom and prevent the hero and Princess from reincarnating to bring his demonic reign to an end. I guess that turned into more of a general theory towards the end but I still think the islands as the sacred realm is a cool idea.

[@leonardomartinez6887]

2:50 Those things look like malice going up to me

[@emiliomartinez7573]

You think the “lines” on the bottom of the sky islands could be the elevators from the Sheika shrines or maybe it’s malice that is pulling some of the sky islands lower enough to see them from the ground on hyrule.

[@neilgarrett8973]

the beams that reach to the sky island might just be markers like the ones in botw that translate to "it's dangerous to go alone"

[@rosesweetcharlotte]

Not a bad idea, but those were never that solid

[@JasonPalmeira]

Just watched this video. I enjoy the mystery of this game and look forward to the actual. I'm sure many of the theories are going to be more complex then they need to be. But I did have an observation, the sky islands art work has a real vibe of the golden realm art work from LTTP.

[@charleshanson9467]

My theory: Link gets Malice burned like we've seen, that's either a playable portion with heavy cut scene or just one long intro. When the hand fuses with Link, he gets transported back in time to the sky islands - IE the tutorial potion of the game and Link wears the Ancient Hero garb. Once Link has proven worthy of the new Powerglove he is sent back to his own time. BUT!!! Because now Link has knowledge and permission to go there, he (and by extension we) can now see and go to the sky islands that were once invisible above the cloud barrier. Cue the main quest(s) and game on.

[@linderofhyrule]

Haven't been this early in a long time! Amazing video! Don't have too long to wait, but still have to wait so long, lol !

[@HyruleGamer]

Legend!

[@JacobKeele]

Watching this video, I had the idea that the giant sky tower being a sort of hub where Link will have to return to multiple times. Kind of like the "Temple of the Ocean King" in Phantom Hourglass or where you place tablets in the "Chamber of the Sword" in Skyward Sword. Maybe where we take the seven tears after collecting them? In any case, as you've pointed out. It's been shown a lot and it definitely has an important role to play in the game. Excited to see what it is!

[@JacobKeele]

I can see it being part of the tutorial area as well. And with each tear collected, a floor of the tower is unlocked...the top being where Link opens the two giant doors seen in the previous trailer

[@chesspwn7457]

I think the sky islands are the home of the Zonai, Whenever they disappeared it was them leaving to the sky like the Oocca and the wind tribe and they sealed themselves with a sky barrier in hopes to flee the malice problems of the surface. And that the castle rising breaks that barrier and allows us to travel to the sky. So I'm expecting a big reveal of the game is finding people living up there.

[@keo528528]

Based on the island next to the sphere I think it's rather huge. Like an American football stadium huge. It seem to be a waste to add something so huge that you don't enter and explore.

[@BENETHwhy]

In the part with Hyrule field and Link riding on a horse it sounds like there’s a first audio like in E3 2019

[@BENETHwhy]

I meant reversed

[@CallumariMan]

The Sky Islands look so cool and I’m fully on board with them being the Great Plateau 2.0 and + if we get a paraglider from a Dungeon and get to jump high from the sky for the first time will be magical!

[@harpuia1379]

I see a lot of mini sky islands scattered around the larger ones. What if completing a skyrule "shrine"/"dungeon" reforms these scattered pieces into the main body for exploration?

[@adambronk1633]

I'm thinking one Link is the original hero chosen by Hylia and the hand is his aiding the future Link, and since it's a right hand every subsequent Link thereafter is left-handed and this story is a telling of both the first Link and the last.

[@mxhyrule]

Shoutout to the discord family :3

[@thecatfish2132]

Yo rocketman here

[@HyruleGamer]

Yeee!

[@mattronimus]

The falling rocks with the green trail are obviously the thing in the jungle where he rides it back up to the sky.

[@code4chaosmobile]

that big sphere thing, any idea on scale, looks in the distance. it could be huge. can't wait to find out

[@jaredponder4149]

It seems bigger than the labyrinths which were massive.

[@alwf905]

Imagine if the things falling from the sky have no pattern and you just get randomly crushed while walking.

[@BH-oq7hv]

The lines look like the line in the first TOTK trailer rising from gannon. One is already ascending into the rock above him before the malice explosion shoots straight up into the rock above him just like those lines.

[@CouragelessOne]

I've said this many times over: the sphere is definitely a Trade Federation core ship Joking, obviously, but it does look like a kind of vessel. Why else would there just be a gigantic sphere

[@waldilks]

LETS GOOOO ANOTHER VID YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@HyruleGamer]

:D

[@5EJLM]

In one trailer You see Link grabbing on to a piece of rock on land before the rock shoots up at the sky, so the rocks that You see falling down in this video are ways to get up to a new section of sky islands in my opinion, furthermore I believe that just like in Breath of The Wild, the (zonai) arm of Link will be upgradeable just like the sheika slate in BoTW, in other words the more you upgrade the arm, the higher up you’ll be able to go

[@lilianasursi9277]

I personally think that the sky islands have always been there, but we’re covered with a barrier; similar to how Skyloft was hidden in Skyward Sword. As to why there appearing now; I think there appearance will be a reaction to Ganon’s awakening.

[@superdajoka]

Your videos have been getting me even more excited for this game!

[@Wertologist]

I figure the tutorial segment will be Link and Zelda's trip underground to Ganondorf's room and escaping(with the new rune mechanics)

[@tryorse8340]

Maybe the arbiters ground wasn't simply sunk, but some stuff rose to the sky. It would explain why so few remnants of the massive parts above the surface.

[@cm3282]

My thoughts are that the islands were always there, hidden behind a magical barrier (as we see the dragons fly through). I do get a sense that this may be Nintendo's way of reshaping the timeline by having all the timelines converge into one reality, hence why they set BOTW so far ahead in the timeline. Ganondorf has found a way of pulling all the timelines into one existence. He takes the trifoces of wisdom and courage when Link and Zelda reawaken him and he wishes upon the triforce. Just my ramblings. Keep up the good work!

[@tryorse8340]

I feel like the labyrinths of one of them hold pieces of the triforce. If it it's true then maybe the triforce power raises them and taking the piece lowers it to the ground

[@Dio_brando121]

I hope dimise is in totk and i love your content

[@LumiosaAstradon]

For the falling stones I keep thinking that maybe theyre bits from when Gannon lifted the castle losing their malice hold and falling back down, or something a kin to that

[@thesis-and-nieces6722]

My guess for those lines is markers, or the residual streaks of energy left after doing links vertical warp. The purpose is to make it easier to spot a island warp point on the ground, so that you don’t have to go through the process of reconnecting to a floating island again. A “fast pass” so to speak

[@Kyzoren]

My most logical pre-info theory on the Sky Islands in TotK is that they are the culmination and of all previous sky-peoples' cultures, essentially stacked atop each other; the higher one goes, the older the islands and culture (much like Skypiea from One Piece)... At the lowest level, the most recent to make their accent, are the Zonai, hence all that we see in trailers... but going further up (and/or in different regions of Hyrule), I imagine we'll see more stuff from previously known sky dwellers, like the Minish & Wind Tribe from MC, the Oocca's from TP, and Skyloft from SS... And perhaps the Twili from TP as well... Smooth segway into a 2nd theory, the Twili and Zonai could be the same people; the Twili's ancestors (The Interlopers) did manage to get to the Sacred Realm (which has always been shown as sky islands), before the gods/spirits stepped in and banish them to the Twilight Realm... But perhaps, said Twilight Realm is in fact the Sacred Realm; rather than being "banished", they were moreso "locked in", with a one-way mirror (the Twilight Mirror), and as such, that may explain why the Twilight Palace in TP is just floating islands... And perhaps at some point after TP, they were allowed to return to Hyrule, and eventually made their way to the surface becoming the Zonai, before plot reasons had them return to the heavens... Also, the Interlopers were depicted as Dark Links in Lanayru's vision/explanation... perhaps, this is connected to the green the Zonai use?

[@shiningskies47]

I’m coining the term “Skislands” or “Skylands” however you want to spell it.

[@HyruleGamer]

Skylands flows well imo

[@WTW407]

I am so exited for this game and this video made me even more exited!

[@tryorse8340]

Maybe some of the islands come together to form a giant mech that must be activated using the triforce or zonai magic. People have pointed out that there are twl big spheres in the sky which could be eyeballs on the mech. Probably not but it would be cool

[@todd3143]

i'm calling it now, the sky islands are where link trains and gains new powers to combat the real threats underground. so far we haven't seen the extent of malice in the sky kingdoms, but there are a lot of enemies from bokoblins to hinoxes in the caves, as well as malice replacing death mountain's magma. so the gameplay loop probably goes something like you travelling underground to fight enemies, realize you need more hearts or better weapons, travel up to the sky kingdom using the lines, and test yourself in the ball and the inverted tower presumably. i think the ball is supposed to be a observatory before it was lifted up, because observatories have that spherical shape, even the one we fought calamity ganon in. after getting strong enough, we could ride one of those falling debris to go down, or one of those free gliding bird platforms we saw in the trailer before. alternatively, spotting a falling debris and then reverse stasis them to travel back up seems to be a mechanic as well

[@SogonD.Zunatsu]

4:41 More interesting than the sphere are the vertical sky islands behind it. They are very far away and yet still seem to go further up than any other Islands we've seen. It adds to my theory that the point of the game will be to unlock higher and higher islands to reach the Moon and eradicate the source of malice that has been left there in whatever form it is.

[@jaredponder4149]

I think more than likely, the higher up we go, the closer we get to divinity. The figures depicted in the mural will probably be there. If Zelda team is taking full cues from Princess Mononoke, Link is going to need to purify himself after being corrupted by Malice. Only then will he be able to repair and wield the Master Sword. How can he hold the Blade of Evil's Bane if he is infected with said evil?

[@Lwiis64]

About the sky island's origins, I can't help but wonder if they have anything to do with the Sacred Realm or a similar godly realm. I say this because the Sacred Realm was depicted in ALttP's official art as a realm with floating islands. If the underground areas we have seen are in fact the underworld then is only natural to have the counterpart be the islands high above Hyrule.

[@jaredponder4149]

With with blue flames, the weird particles floating in the air and the malice everywhere I wouldn't be surprised if it was the legit underworld.

[@trentonsohl1835]

5:50 do you guys see the dragon in the background? Maybe the dragons will play a big part of the sky islands.

[@alienximmortal11]

I just looked at the art book (not telling spoilers but) pls those who gave there hopes up pls don't this game is going to be super awesome like bruh this has stuff we would never guessed. Like wow doesn't have major spoilers but things you might need to look at for more hype

[@rosesweetcharlotte]

I just hope it isn't too hard to get back up on the sky islands if you fall off accidentally. I mean, can you imagine how annoying climbing is gonna be in the rain if you're suddenly thousands of feet up and you're climbing and it suddenly starts raining?

[@markroba9657]

there will surely be teleportation shit on them just like how the towers and shrines do

[@darrinfix199]

my guess is it'll be like when you fall from some places(d.beasts mainly) that it'll put you back where you fell.

[@jaredponder4149]

They've probably thought of that. Ha.

[@0aggie0]

Mystery 1. Waterfalls from the sky islands flowing down to the surface Mystery 2. A spheric island, probably able to visit the insides Mystery 3. The design looks like a holy place, so it makes a lot of sense that this could be a Zonai holy temple of some sort. Mystery 4. You will probably lift rock parts from the ground skyward, and they will stay there for some time. It's like a reset, so you have to redo some stone-lifts to go back to said place. Like the blood moon which revitalized the enemies, or what the song of time did in Majora’s mask- reset time to make things more interesting.

[@SUPERFunStick]

I think with this game, Nintendo is looking to put nails in the coffins of games like Spider-Man, god of war, Skyrim, immortals Fenix rising, assassin's Creed, and even breath of the wild, simply by doing everything better than they did in the last game and I really can't wait to experience it.

[@tarmarcar]

At 9:32 when you are talking about the origins of the sky islands when you look in the background we can see left to right identifiable structures, Eldin Mt., Hyrule castle but what is that tornado shape thing? Also, on the far right we see what appears to be waterfalls falling off the sky islands, this too can be seen on the other background islands. Maybe these are what you were asking were the lines earlier on in this video?

[@emiliomartinez7573]

Do you think there will be underground/underwater caves but inside of some of the sky islands?

[@HyruleGamer]

Yes

[@TCB-Youtube]

Remember the popular dropper Map in Minecraft? I think these Lines are tubes where you fall down into while avoiding coming obstacles.

[@B_Gentle]

These theory video’s making my mornings peacefully af with some tea

[@ZINKYT]

New video let’s gooo!

[@HyruleGamer]

Ayy, nice to see you here!

[@lllllDoinkOnelllll]

Im like 36 years old and for over two weeks I look up the internet every day to find some new ideas for the game im gonna play for hours and hours... Love it

[@theblueblazer999]

The islands were hidden above the cloud barrier, which is now gone for some reason.

[@4DAT4]

4:06 - 4:07 shot pans to see an actual second sphere 4:10 HG: "We see this second similar..." on a shot of Link doing the motion puzzle The timing got you 🤣 I laughed so hard But that probably supports the idea that they're some kind of trial chamber

[@bucketuser]

I think its fairly obvious the sky islands will be a return of the "lost" Zonai tribe gives BOTW instant replayablity

[@heckmoheckmo5733]

1 is definitely waterfalls...turn a tap on and look at the stream its just like that. the sphere looks like its got a mouth on the bottom right of it, like its in profile view..... it is the Majoras Mask moon! to me, the top of the tower (the arena part) looks a bit like its a helipad/door type thing

[@lever7893]

What are your thoughts on new settlements? Do you think there will people in the islands? If so do you think hylians? Or a whole different people

[@chesspwn7457]

My theory is that the Zonai are up there. They disappeared by fleeing to the sky.

[@bennybull9935]

I'm convinced the stone tower is a dungeon

[@HyruleGamer]

Certainly feels that way!

[@struntsi]

Maybe there was a magic barrier between the sky and underground realms and now Ganon broke them?

[@HyruleGamer]

I like that idea!

[@TomastheHorrorfan]

My theory for the last one is that we will go back in time either thousands of years or millions of years to when the sky islands were created and learn why they were created

[@traviselliott1303]

i support your theory on it being the starting "Great Platue" and in the 4th trailer we saw link pushed open a massive door.i believe that's the beginning cutscene.

[@traviselliott1303]

Oh and its the same door that's on the massive stone building in the sky

[@ResidentRodent143]

Here's a thought: Vaati, the wind mage was the second historical level enemy of hyrule, but he's never mentioned again. He was an important enough character to appear in 3 games, but otherwise, he seems to have been wiped from history. Along side the light force, a power we know is not the same as the Triforce, what happed?

[@Lv-nq9qz]

There are some weird eye reliefs depicted on some of the artwork, maybe that's a reference to him?

[@ResidentRodent143]

@L v unless that eye is connected to the minish/picori or tied with the wind. I don't find it likely. you're definitely right about the eyes being a near dead match to vaatis symbol

[@jessica-ov6js]

2:55 i think it's just smoke plumes from things that have fallen down

[@daniellekrupa3930]

I haven't played any Zelda games as such but I would like too. I think it is the ruin of the City in the sky as I have noticed a massive like there is the same pineapple/pinecone statue in both

[@roberarevalo6837]

I really believe the strange strings going down the islands are in fact streams of water. If you look closely to the official artwork you can see these thin waterfalls pretty much everywhere! But hopefully I’m wrong and they are something more interesting than that 😅

[@allenharokku3905]

Not going to lie. The "lets get straight to the thumbnail " got me to inst like lmfao

[@wyattdean4636]

I think that the sphere that we se at 5:04 is the moon from magora’s mask, it has what look like to be lips in the bottom right, and what kinda looks like to be a small face in the upper left. I know this is extremely unlikely, but I would love it if that was the case.

[@darrinfix199]

1. unspectacular answer is just falling debris streaks. 2. you know that really big skull in the bog...or similar from somewhere else. 3. nothing further your honor. 4. see 3. 5. can't wait to find out too.

[@sultannoor2054]

I love your theories i binge watch them

[@danh638]

the falling stuff could be another means of traversing between the land and certain sky islands. no one ever said we'd just have one way back and forth.

[@jaredponder4149]

There is a ton of ways. The phasing power could be for traveling from the overworld to the underground and the sky. The vehicles we can make, the hot air balloon, riding sky debris back up. Activation those tear shaped terminals with green spirals.

[@craigcaldwell5541]

I saw in the scene with the tower that the islands seem to have lots of water on them. I might be wrong but I think that if this is the tutorial this section will teach about underwater exploration. Just because it seemed like too much water to be a coincidence. 🤷‍♂️

[@jaredponder4149]

There is some water, but I wouldn't say a ton. There is other evidence for underwater exploration, but we'll see.

[@Vincent-in1uc]

Notice how in the new trailer the voice never states that it is Ganon?

[@owllegs5889]

One thing that I can't help but notice is that the Skylands seem to be tiered. How high do we think they will go? We've already seen Link skydiving to them from, presumably, a much higher place. It's conceivable that Nintendo has only shown us, deliberately, islands at a lower level, and that they ascend to even greater heights. I can realistically imagine Skylands in the distance that are inaccessible until something is completed/found on the surface. I can imagine some that can only be accessed by jumping down from higher up. Leaping from one to another can plausibly serve as sort of a 3d puzzle or maze.

[@jaredponder4149]

Just look at the ones behind that stone puzzle Link is manipulating. They extend far far above any of the others. Safe bet we are going incredibly high.

[@jaredponder4149]

I meant to say that we can see tiered sky islands extending way up into the clouds, behind the shot of the giant sphere. Watch during the fade out.

[@jaredponder4149]

Those pillars probably aren't related to Link's phasing ability, since in the patent it appears to be a power. Plus, the same swirls of green surround Link's arm in the new trailer when he fires the homing Keese eyeball with his bow.

[@itsJoshW]

5:55 That tower is the Temple of Light.

[@mario_maniac9368]

I'm with you on the sky islands. I hope they explain where the islands come from. If it's something to do with the sky people from minish cap or twilight. Or it could be a new take on the sky islands from skyward sword. I just hope it's a good explanation

[@ShepherdsCreek]

Hey that's my dino snack!

[@HyruleGamer]

It is indeed! :D

[@Burrito25]

I think that the sky islands are remnants of skyloft which since skyward sword has expanded and people (zonai?) have found their way up there and built these structures but then died and left them to rot

[@yourworstnightmare4410]

The Tower-Island could actually be the tutorial as it is surrounded by clouds and we can't see Hyrule similiar like the plateau in BotW was surrounded by clouds/fog

[@arisophia13]

love ur vids 😁

[@HyruleGamer]

Thanks a lot!

[@gilgammesh1]

Could the sphere maybe be where we fought calamity Ganon beneath Hyrule castle? Its a huge shot i know.

[@arturostm8960]

sup my dudes God bless yall, haha every time I hear that intro I know that some good theorizing is getting my way

[@HyruleGamer]

💪

[@Genya2008]

At 08:19 Hyrule Castle look like a gigatic Guardian.

[@bigfoot9049]

The sphere is obviously the winged dragon of ra-sphere mode, we gonna send Ganon to the shadow realm..this time

[@Xeno87]

In that shot there's also a second sphere on the right, coming into view after a few seconds. See 4:06. *Edit*: Also at 4:09 you can see another sphere in the background with malice coming out of it.

[@thelordofpapasquid8016]

I don’t see the sphere with malice coming out at the time stamp you listed. I can see Death Mountain with malice coming out on the right but not a sphere.

[@jaredponder4149]

He is talking about a strand of whatever that is, with something dangling from it. Zoom in and look closely and you can see it is tiny compared to the massive spheres. It looks like something you can break off and collect if you ask me. It is to the bottom right of the shot.

[@judaiyuki5597]

4:40 there is green energy coming out of the top of the death star its extremely difficult to see trying screwing with color settings on a picture editor 5:15 its easier to see in the fade out

[@jaredponder4149]

Those are multi tiered sky islands. We see them in other shots.
