Just a correction that Medli was the Earth Sage and Makar was the Wind Sage (still a weird decision on Nintendo's part, though). But yeah, all of the callbacks to Wind Waker definitely put a smile on my face while doing this section of the game. 😸

I’m so happy that I was apparently one of the relatively small number of people that realized during my first attempt that you can dive through each ice plate.

[@mariothechannel764]

Lol my entire time at first fighting the boss I had no clue you could arrows until I saw pointcrow do it

[@every116]

I didn't even know you could damage Colgera any other way until I went online. The entire trip from Mount Hebra up to the Ark is littered with platforms with ice on them that you have to crash through to break, those platforms are also important puzzle pieces on the Ark itself, so when Colgera shot those spikes in the air revealing a cracked icy interior my first thought was "I have to crash through that" and never even thought about damaging him any other way. It also made me realize that there probably isn't any boss scaling like there was in BOTW, you can't have Colgera scale upwards if the way you have to defeat him is so scripted.

[@ElRenegon-tv3tm]

I never thought of using arrows, and then I did the whole fight diving into Colgera, so yeah, I literally defeated Colgera with my head.

[@Sentinel07]

musically speaking, I noticed things This is mostly an epic reprise of the Rito theme, which is in itself a reprisal of the Dragon Roost Isle theme from Wind Waker. Secondly, the chromatic movements with the violins give a chilling, uneasy feeling, while the trumpets and chorus counteract that with a feeling of heroism and bravery, like a whole nation has their hopes resting in one person (and in a way, Hyrule and the Rito do). Really great music, Nintendo strikes gold once again!

[@sockatoo_]

i just beat this part of the game. after traversing the desolate and cold and barren mountains of Hebra, reaching the abandoned and haunting rito village, ascending the path of the sails, reachong the stormwind ark and spending hours figuring out the puzzles, and finally, _finally_ reaching this battle... i can say with 100% certainty this is one of my favorite tracks in the game. the whole region had been my favorite in botw. i had fallen in love with the rito, and seeing my favorite area of the game devastated by the blizzard, it made me feel so powerful shattering colgera and restoring the beauty of this place i loved so much. i love this damn gam.

[@watercolourAlto]

hearing the rito motif play in that middle section nearly made me CRY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT I SWEAR TO GOD- i have a lot of sentimental attachment to that motif specifically (Revali's theme got me through early covid) and god,,,

This is the only reason why I rematch Colgera in the Depths, AND I LOVE IT, specially the first phase, there is something about the flute that gives me goosebumps every single time

[@macnamaryb7773]

Its amazing how this one song shows more respect for the history and lore of this series than the entire story of the game. Colgera, leitmotifs of Molgera, with Dragon Roost in the Wind Temple. Superb callbacks and homages.

[@NobleVagabond2552]

There’s plenty of references throughout the story to other games. Just the mention of Rauru’s name put the biggest smile on my face. But yes I can agree that Zelda music being shared and referenced across the games is always incredible

[@macnamaryb7773]

@@NobleVagabond2552 References, sure. But actually connecting to the series in anything other than mild name references? Not really. There's no Triforce, the origins of the world are completely different, it even breaks its own ties to BotW because BotW references Nabooru as the namesake of Vah Naboris, therefore making OoT canon to BotW, but in TotK Ganondorfs actions are entirely different from OoT, and his motives entirely different from WW. Both of these Ganondorfs cannot exist at the same time, and Ganondorf doesn't exactly reincarnate himself, the curse reincarnates in various different forms, stringing them around like flesh puppets, fueling any dark desires already harbored within the person and bringing out the absolute worst of a person. TotK's story, as a standalone, is decent enough, but trying to insert it into Zelda lore and the timeline not only makes no sense with the rest of the timeline, it completely shears BotW off with it, or leaves BotW on and itself has nowhere to go.

[@NobleVagabond2552]

@@macnamaryb7773 oh I completely understand, I think it’s weird that the divine beasts and the sheikah towers are completely gone, they coulda said the upheaval knocked the towers down - and then just had them in rumble in all their old spots. But in general Nintendo has never spent much time focusing on the continuity of the stories, all the timeline stuff started as fan theories. I personally just never cared to think about the story any more than Nintendo does. Aside from the Hero’s Shade in TP being child Link the hero of time from OoT and MM. That’s genuinely about the only real story connections across games I’ve ever cared about enough to commit to memory

[@NobleVagabond2552]

@@macnamaryb7773 I do agree tho, I wish the triforce was mentioned, it’s obviously an integral part of the trio of link zelda and ganon and does help connect the games to a certain extent

[@ravnicanon2466]

@@macnamaryb7773 Ganondorf DOES reincarnate himself--it's been demonstrated to occur in Four Swords Adventures, which features an explicit Ganondorf reincarnation after his death in Twilight Princess. Multiple incarnations are also presumably capable of existing at the same time as long as one is in stasis, as we've seen the same occur with the sleeping Zelda from The Adventure of Link. There are a number of ways for the past shown in Tears of the Kingdom to fit into the timeline. It could be a new Hyrule, founded centuries or millennia after the last game in the Downfall or Child timelines. Or Rauru could have founded Hyrule well before the events of Ocarina of Time, with his Ganondorf imprisoned beneath Hyrule while a new one was reborn to the Gerudo. Can we easily explain everything? No, but we've never been able to. Hyrule Castle and the Temple of Time have frequently teleported around the map between games, various races pop in and out of existence, and so on.

did anyone else cry during this because of how beautiful the music was? Because I certainly did

[@Mikesapien]

3:32 As a lifelong Zelda fan, I cannot begin to describe the depth of emotion I feel when I hear the Dragonroost Island leitmotif in this boss battle theme. The words "nostalgia" and "fan service" get thrown around a lot, but this sincerely felt like Nintendo saying "thank you" to everyone who played the last 20 years of Zelda games. This song is for the REAL fans; the fans who actually liked Wind Waker back in 2002 and were willing to give it a chance.

[@CameoTC]

The amount of people who went through this fight using their bow instead of skydiving past his spikes and using your weapon to smash through his weak points makes me so sad, this was such an epic fight
