The most Terrifying Video Game Theories

[@calebgoodman3028]

Sorry to break it to you Patterz but Link has canonically died before many times. While we don’t know how it happened in this instance, he does appear as a skeleton in Twilight Princess teaching skills to a new Link. Twilight Princess is also the sequel to Majora’s Mask so... yeah... Edit: I am aware he did not die in the woods, I was just saying we know he died but not the cause. Sorry to cause an argument...

[@toumabyakuya]

@LetsPlayNintendoITA No, he did not. Hyrule Encyclopedia states that TP Link is a blood decendant of OoT Link, so that means that OoT Link must have had kids at some point in his life.

[@Bengt2509]

@LetsPlayNintendoITAThen he wouldn’t become a skeleton

[@Bengt2509]

@@toumabyakuyathere is also the fact he would become a different creature and not a stalfos

[@Bengt2509]

@LetsPlayNintendoITANo no no, He did become a skeleton, but here’s the thing. If he died as a kid. He wouldn’t become a stalfos or skeleton

[@toumabyakuya]

@LetsPlayNintendoITA No, he didn't become an Skull Kid because Link was older when he died in the Lost Woods. It has been established since Oot that any adult that dies in the Lost Woods becomes an Stalfos.

If i’m remembering it right in one of the Fallout games you could find a nuke with the Vault tech symbol on it so Vault tech might’ve dropped the nukes

Another thing about the link is dead thing is in the Twilight Princess (which is one of the next games in the timeline), there is a skeleton person that comes from the woods and teaches you how to use your sword and shield. He also claims to be "the old hero" or something like that Edit: he's a stalfos, like explained in the video and i think he was called "the hero of time", which is exactly the same title as the Link in ocarina of time / majora's mask.

[@aSh-pi1in]

Can't happen because OoT Link is the Ancestor of TP Link, meaning that he died after being married

[@theenigma2861]

@@aSh-pi1in I might be wrong but I thought it was more reincarnation that actual ancestry. My understanding is that it was sometimes ancestors of previous links but I believe it was more that the curse would reincarnate a new link rather that them all being related. Mainly because it gets a bit weird timeline-wise if all links are related and even weirder if all links are related and so are all zelda's. I don't have to explain what that family tree would look like to know why all links and zelda's being related is a bit weird.

[@daedrascrolls]

@@theenigma2861 Most Links are reincarnations but TP Link is most likely a descentend of the hero of time/Oot Link. He most likely married Malon and had kids with her before dying in the lost woods as an adult for unknown reasons. That's why he knows Eponas song and grew up as a farmer.

[@LoinkLoink]

The Hero of Time didn't become a Stalfos. He became a skeleton. There is a difference because he doesn't resemble the stalfos enemy from the game. If anything, we can assume this means that stalfos are skeletons given life through evil magic.

[@KenBladehart]

19:09 Uhh Pat... do you remember theres a skeleton that teaches you sword techniques in Twilight Princess? That is actually Link from Ocarina of Time

[@fullmetalbarret]

What you said about the fallout plague theory is actually kind of ironic. You said that since its a one off side quest about a character that doesn't matter, its not going to be a big plot point for future games. However, Fallout 3 literally has a one off side quest that has to do with a character that doesn't really matter, and that side quest was about a guy from the commonwealth who is part of an organization called the institute. And this guy is in the capital wasteland to track down a synthetic human that had ran away from the institute. And during this quest you even meet a woman who is part of an organization calling themselves the Railroad. And she tells you that they help runaway synthetics start a new life. Now a reminder, what I just wrote was not the plot of fallout 4, it was the plot of a random side quest in fallout 3. Which was taken and used as the plot of fallout 4. So it literally is possible that fallout 5 could be about a deadly plague lol.

[@HallowedKeeper_]

When it comes to the Majora's Mask Theory, the timeline breaks the Theory that Link has been dead the whole time. As the link from Majora's Mask is the same Link as the Hero of time, and the Hero of time is the Heroes Shade in Twilight Princess, who is an Adult and The hero of twilight is the Heroes Shade's Descendent. But the Metaphor part is still spot on

[@edward18517]

Fun fact about Detroit Become Human: According to the game itself in a pretty out of the way ending, it's revealed that androids going deviant is a planned thing the manufactures made as a stunt to sell more androids. Connor's entire point was to at the last minute, take leadership of the android rebellion and I guess lead them to oblivion or failure while the company prepares to release androids again but without that happening To put it simply: The story is that the manufactures intentionally caused androids to gain sentience to create a prejudice narrative towards androids so they can get people to buy robots that won't do that. This is real btw. Not making that up as much as that sounds crazy. That's a real ending that is canonical to the story. So while I get the theory sounds kinda messed up to say the androids never gained sentience, the game pretty much said racism and a rebellion was a planned thing by the company. EDIT: Also Fun Fact that I think is important that I forgot to say and really should've been the comment: In that scene where there's a bunch of androids are shouting "Set us free!", 90% of the crowd came from passersby and not from like... androids who were already deviant to begin with. the person in front leading the march literally walked in on the streets and started looking at androids around them and waved their fingers towards them to make them deviant, with them immediately joining the crowd to do the march, all of them saying the same thing in unison, all doing the same gestures/movements as each other. So... yeah that suggestion that androids getting sentience is a virus... ;^_^ While I don't think it's the writer's intention and personally don't believe it, there's an out of the pan into the fryer reading I get from that scene. From obeying a possibly jackass owner, to following a new owner as they tell the androids to stand/sit in front of gunfire for their movement that the androids never agreed or consented to and was forced upon by their new owner to partake in because they were in a certain place at a certain time.

[@trixicenby999]

If that is so then why did they build a new Connor that would take over?

[@PhoxphorusKitKat]

@@trixicenby999 Your answer is as good as mine. But personally, I like to write it off as one of multiple instances contradictory storytelling. It's not like the game isn't rife with that kind of problem.

[@testerwulf3357]

@@trixicenby999 Potentially because the old Connor wasn't perfect, and they created a perfect one closer to the date of the rebellion to take charge of it expecting the old Connor to mess it up? idk

I never understood, nor liked, the "Link is dead" in MM theory. Like, it follows the stages of grief. His best friend just literally died. But....yeeaaa, it's about LINK trying to accept his OWN death?? Cause those are the logical steps.

[@keithshaughnessy1730]

So the Mass Effect Indoctrination theory was the best way to explain the game in a somewhat satisfying ending. However when Bioware made their epilogue dlc to try and make the masses happy, all it really did was show that the indoctrination theory was wrong, which annoyed more players. Mass Effect 3 was just a disappointment at every level. I first played the game without any DLC either, so I had no epilogue, no citadel, no javik, and no leviathan. So without the most important character, the vital backstory to the enemy threat, the best part of the game with all your favorite charactera, and an ending that tells what the hell happened to anyone, it was the worst gaming experience i had ever had... until Dying Light 2

[@davidevans2863]

The become human theory that the Androids are not sentient due to having a virus opens lots of different questions. The best of these is "what is conciousness?" They might have a virus that breaks their coding, but with the virus giving the androids a sense of self and an ability to make and take their own choices then the virus may have acted as an evolutionary vector giving a form of sentience. Was that not the point of the game? To make you question these things? Is life only life if it is a biological life? Is indentered servitude acceptable if the indentered are not living beings but could be capable of independent thought? At what point of artificial intelligence does its use become slavery? Ect

On fallout, unless their worlds oil reserves are located at completely different places invading Alaska is probably the stupidest move they could make. Invade Venezuela or the middle east. They still would have had war/conflict but, it most probably wouldn't end in nukes.

[@testerwulf3357]

I'm guessing in the fallout timeline they already did that, the only places to get oil left involved nuclear warfare.

[@0potion]

In the lore this oil fields were already exploited to depletion. Alaska is literally the only place left to get oil in large quantities. It's not explained well by the guy in the video since he was talking about something else entirely. But by the time the nuclear bombs dropped they had already been at war over oil for years. The oil-rich nations were the first ones hit in the conflict.

Some things cannot be confirmed (fnaf), others are more "what if" scenarios (which is why they're so inaccurate to the actual lore, like the "Link is Dead" theory), most who hate gtlive hate them because they don't understand that fact.

@@KaiserKai16 What evidence? They outright omit the most crucial counter-evidence and never bother to give an explanation around it: The Hero's Shade.

Also, TP Link is a blood decendant of OoT Link, so this shows that Link had to live longer.

Is his theory not convincing at all, or is it convincing because they ignore a counter point? You can't say one point then rant against yourself.

[@toumabyakuya]

@@KaiserKai16 *"First, my argument is that MatPat's video is more convincing than the theory as presented in this video which discusses none of the evidence."* My argument is that MatPat fails at presenting his theories because he ignores all the weaknesses of his theories when presenting them. *"Does MatPat discuss none of the evidence or omit one piece of evidence?"* Both, depending on the theory he is "analysisng". Sometimes he just ignores some pieces of counter-evidence that would weaken his theory, other times he outright ignores all the evidence going gainst himself. An example of the latter one is his Ace Attorney video were he claims that Phoenix Wright hid a piece of evidence, yet the footage of the game he is showing contradicts this because it shows how the detective finds said piece of evidence and all throughout said case there's no mention of Phoenix hiding evidence (even when it would have benefitted the big bad of the case's own arguments). MatPat is simply bad at this.
