*NEW* Zelda Types Explained

[@bilsuart]

Sorry in advance for any audio issues! My mic is messed up and will cut out randomly, will try to fix it in the future 🤠

Hey excuse me, Mr.Bilsu. I have a favor to ask you.

[@bilsuart]

@@tube-miser5982 haha okay

[@tube-miser5982]

@@bilsuart2 Things. 1. Your Starters are Amazing. And thanks to that, I made my own in a Super Mario style. 2. After I get done with my starters, Is it okay if I can take a screenshot of your channel? Just to tell who inspired me.

[@oliviervanhuut8411]

i have a qeustion do you have a social media i want to share some of my designs with you if you like

[@bilsuart]

@@tube-miser5982 yeah you can!

[@ianleather5699]

I think Thunder could fit well as a replacement to electric, since that seems like what a medieval kingdom would call the typing even if it doesn't quite make sense. Main inspiration for this is thunderblight ganon and the thunder weapons from botw. The only difference would probably be the name, and maybe some pokemon related to storms, like those cyclone frogs from Windwaker, could fit in it

[@puline397]

thunder could work. There’s Thunder dragon in Skyward sword, song of storms in Oot/MM (creating thunderstorms), Thunder Drum in LA, Thunder Bird/Spell in AoL and probably many more :)

[@senorapples1115]

If i remember correctly, thunder and lightning share the same name in japanese. So when translated ,thunder is used though to be honest thunder sounds cooler than lightning .

[@gregorsamsa79420]

You should base the Elite Four of this region off of the champions from Breath of the Wild, & for the name of the games for this region, you should go for Pokémon Hyrule & Pokémon Lorule with the legendary Pokémon being based off of the dark world & light world from ALTTP, ALBTW, & any other Zelda game including these features that I may forgot to mention.

[@hamsometimes]

That sounds awesome

[@gregorsamsa79420]

Thanks!

[@cringee21]

really don’t like the region name in the title, what about Pokémon Wisdom & Power? (with Courage as a 3rd version) maybe the legendaries could be something like Solgaleo and Lunala where they evolve from a Triforce based pokemon that evolves either into a Hylia or Demise based mon?

[@gregorsamsa79420]

That’s also a nice idea.

[@cringee21]

@@gregorsamsa79420 thx

[@SlinkyDragon]

This is a really intriguing idea; I've seen lots of fan regions and heard the PLA Jokes, "Breath of the Wild but with Pokemon," but this is the first time I've seen someone actually meld the two together. You've earned a sub from me- can't wait for the next vid in this series!

[@bilsuart]

Thank you! I actually had been working on the project since before 2020 so some things might seem like a rip off of PLA but this was always my vision but I plan to world build it in the way that I think would be fun :)

[@עומרשרייבר-ל4ר]

Gotta say I really love your interpretation of the types. I would have been fine with the normal types, but your version makes them feel more natural to the zelda world.

[@bilsuart]

Thank you! I really didn’t want things to feel just tacked on so there’s a lot of mixing rather than just slap a Pokémon in Hyrule

[@KHAOS890]

Why do you have sheka as a name?

[@Shritistrang]

Personally, I probably would have turned Psychic into a new Magic-type. But I think your idea is very creative and allows for much cooler Pokemon and attacks.

[@mauroperez2848]

It's pretty cool how you took all of the pokemon types and reinvented them into a new type each that fits in the world of Hyrule. My favorite types has to be Phantom, Twilight, Spirit, and Time. I also love the regional Hoothoot and its new evolution, Infinitrix. I can't wait to see more of this.

[@kiragabrielle]

Your designs are fantastic. Really looking forward to new videos from you, it seems like there's a lot of love going into this project. Thank you for blending some of my favorite pieces of media into one!! :)

[@bilsuart]

Thank you very much!

[@cairneoleander8130]

Honestly I feel like Malice could have been a stand-in for the Dark type or at minimum is significant enough to merit being it’s own type. All that said, LOVING this project of yours!

[@pichuperez9037]

Malice could probably just be a status condition, or what the "sound" based moves in this region are.

[@doombat04]

Toxic should be malice

[@Fanatic_Foremem]

@@pichuperez9037 or maybe the shadow type since it can corrupt pokemon

[@tekkaikenmega509]

I can't wait to see more of these zelda themed mons and I really hope someone makes sprites and makes this an actual fan game very well thought out tgis channel came out of nowhere but I can tell it's going to have a great following

[@SoftwareLearningify]

I like the hyrule type concept, it’s kind of a “tradition /traditional” type which I think is cool

[@raboullesfritas]

A Pokemon fangame with Zelda-themed stuff in it is very exciting! You could even make a really interesting story to go along with it! Look forward to see something emerge from this!

[@FloWoodEnT123]

This is the first video I’ve ever seen from you, so I’m slightly unsure about what this is creating, but I’m here for it. Beginning to end this is a great concept 👌🏾💯

[@reachon7396]

Yo this art work slaps, the designs are appealing and filled with so much lore, people always say this about pokemon art design concepts but this needs to be a real game

[@lego_crack414]

I love all your staff about your own Fakemon inspired in TLOZ. I'm creating in my own a lot of Fakemon for my future HackRom and you're motivating me with your videos to continue doing FakeMon and thinking history for my HackRom

[@bilsuart]

That’s awesome! I hope you’ll get even more motivation and thanks for supporting!

im imagining what this game would be like in my head, its so cool

The Hoot-hoot of hyrule just gave me vietnam flashbacks of the damn owl in OOT.

[@arty6244]

This is SOOO COOL I’ve always wanted to fuse my 2 favorite games and this looks like a perfect rendition of zelda and Pokémon. Thanks.

[@TeamAquasHideout]

Very cool. As someone also in the business of putting Zelda into Pokemon, these look sick

[@emeralddestroyer5718]

One thing that I know would be hard, but if you were able to, it would be amazing to see a fan game actually playable

[@lucasrex95]

The more I watch the cooler it gets. You have something really special here. Keep it up!

[@BaronDanyD]

With every video your region gets better and better. I cannot wait for the next part.

[@bilsuart]

In the next couple of days!

[@thatonesentientbagel4043]

what about a Cucco pokemon, with 2 forms. One where its a basic, one that where it gets hit, it turns into like,, an angry form. Possibly including some Cloud/Storm elements, starting as a pure air, regular cloud, and then once it gets hit it becomes a Electric/Air thunder cloud. Possibly also having a signature move called something like Thunder Peck, where in its Calm form it just hits once, but when it gets hit and turns into its Thunder form, it becomes a multihit move. It could possibly be called Cucloud or something like that.

[@jordanloy1452]

So Cool And I Love The Type Changes. It Would Be So Cool To See This Turned Into A Playable Game Or A Rom Hack!

[@thebardofshale304]

Very interesting type ideas. I must say that it's given me ideas for possible pokemon to see in such a region. Helmarok King: Sky/Twilight Fraaz: Fire/Ice BongoBongo: Phantom/Twilight Ghodan: Metal/Spirit Digdogger: Water/Toxic Keep up the good work.

[@iantaakalla8180]

“Toxapex hates certain kind of sound”

[@Skylorule]

This has gotten my attention as both an avid Zelda nerd and a Pokemon lover. I hope to see the possibility of you coming up with shiny forms of these Zelda Pokemon as well.

I think I’ll show off the shiny forms of all the Pokémon in one video at the end :)

[@neofriberg5998]

Great videos i nearly can't wait to get to know more about the region.

[@bilsuart]

More to come!

[@twobladedswordsandmauls2120]

There actually is an association with Psychic energy, the Mind, and Time in Zelda. Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom, is also the creator of Time. She gave control over time to Hylia, making her the Goddess of Light and Time. Hylia's chosen People, the Hylians, have several several abilities, including sending telepathic messages across space and time, as well as predicting the future. Psychic Energy is also the easiest thing to send backward in Time. Not just in the form of the aforementioned telepathic messages, but the Ocarina of Time only sends you're mind back in time, not your body. You normally need an insane amount of effort and Power to send actual objects across time. One final note on Nayru. While all three of the Golden Goddesses participated in the sealing spell cast over Hyrule thousands of years prior to the events of Wind Waker, the form the sealing spell takes is a Time Stop held underneath a vast ocean. Nayru is also the Goddess and creator of Water, so we can assume that the entire spell was her idea.

[@eaterbattery]

I love how your pokemons both look pokemon-like AND Zelda-type... Which is not an easy thing to do

[@bilsuart]

Thank you!

[@ghostygirl2395]

I'm new here, so I don't know who does the Pokemon designs/art, but it really says something about the artist's skill that I can guess what each of the pokemon at the end are based purely on the silouette. Real nice job!

[@bilsuart]

Thank you! It’s just me, I do everything with my videos from the art to the editing haha and yeah I’m pretty big on silhouettes when I do my designs. I always say that it needs to be recognizable based on a black silhouette alone.

[@JacktheRah]

I have to say I was skeptical at first about the spirit type but I think that your explanation actually made it work.

[@metaridley2911]

If Hyrulean Hoot-Hoot doesn't have Chatter, I'll singlehandedly riot

I’m not that much of a pokémon fan, but as a huge Zelda fan, this is really cool! i love the types (especially Time, Twilight, Spirit, Phantom) and the Hoot Hoot evolution, those are some brilliant references and I can see you put a lot of thought into all of them! Great job! can’t wait to see more ^^

6:41 makes me think that a Metal/Phantom-type Hyrulian Aegislash is incoming.

[@MrSpookersMcGeeThe1st]

I love this concept. Between the reimagined typings being themed to fit in Hyrule, to the design of Infinitrix, I think you’ve done something really special here.

[@timpollard1474]

This project is so amazing! It's insane just how perfectly these two things mix. You might find me in the comments building and switching my team as things are revealed. So far I'm rolling with Dekute and Hoothoot.

Thank you so much! It has a lot of different things compared to regular Pokémon

[@dharkonic2211]

This looks Fricking incredible mate!!

[@bilsuart]

Thank you!

[@TrueTydin]

Awesome potential here for something big. A couple thoughts (apologies just in my nature as a game designer to share these) Dark could also have been shadow. another reoccurring theme and could fit in more creature designs that twilight would feels limiting to twii characters,. Curious to see how a ground/grass would work if its a desert/forest pokemon like a Leever (the two type names almost clash). I LOVE the idea of Psychic being time, but maybe a more "general magic" themed name would be more suited because there are a LOT of magic users in Zelda, but not all of them are time themed. In fact there arent many. Maybe "Mystic" or "Force" would be a better name to house more categories. Gotta say this whole idea is very very inspirational. I'm a 3D artist who actually works in games, and this has my mind flooding with fun ideas for pokemon. I wanna model em' all ;P Also i wasnt originally onboard with fairy being changed to spirit but your reasoning is pretty solid!

[@adamusprime403]

Just a few suggestion, but maybe make Twilight also be a reference to the Dark World and Lorule alongside the Twilight Realm, and along with that use Time Type for also representation of Termina. And finally maybe include masks as a unique form of evolution in this universe, as opposed to evolution stones.

[@Zordyn]

"warrior type is for warriors" ah yes and the floor is made out of floor

[@smoogieoogie]

This is so cool! So many different ideas come to mind, like I think a great rival would be zelda herself, and she becomes the champion, kind of like a red/blue reminiscent style. Maybe the gym leaders could be the sages and we have seven as opposed to eight. or who knows maybe base them all off of different races, could have the korok/kokiri(forest) shiekah(hyrule) Goron(stone) zora(water) rito(sky) gerudo(desert) minish(spirit) Hylian(time, maybe warrior or swap w/shiekah) Twili(twilight) (yes i know that's nine) Either way, i can't wait to see how this turns out!

[@sladevalen]

This is such a slam dunk of an idea and I do hope a playable version of this happens at some point!

[@thedoughnutsystem539]

I literally just found this in my recommendations and it took me. A few minutes too long to figure out what it actually IS

[@bilsuart]

Sorry about that! I’ll make a better intro for new viewers!

[@cinnamintie]

I actually really dig these types. I honestly wasn't sure on toxic type even needing to be included until you mentioned merging the concept with malice, which makes complete sense to me. I am totally ready for Boko Babas and Malice Eyes getting toxic type pokemon now.

[@Apollo_is_cool]

your voice and choice of music is so relaxing

[@krazoasamson9914]

I love what you’re doing and it is very inspiring. My only criticism is that it’s sometimes hard to hear your voice (mostly referencing the starter videos) due to the music being a little too loud. With that said, I can’t wait to see more!

[@bilsuart]

Thank you! Yeah it’s something I’m trying to work on, it’ll be improved as time goes on :)

[@jadethenidoran]

I'd probably rename it to Hylian type, and maybe make the Light Medallion symbol a darker or lighter brown instead, and keep the blue to its face. The glowing blue, while nice, is a little distracting when spread out so much, especially when the face - usually the central part of a character's design - has less of it than a single wing. Maybe it could have a blue Light Medallion symbol on its back instead? Otherwise, both of these designs are excellent!

[@bilsuart]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@XavierEmeralds]

This is so good, I love both these franchises a lot and all your typings make a lot of sense to me

[@lustrafemme]

i love this so much and this is a concept that REALLY deserves a complete rom hack made out of it.

[@Gemma-Majoran]

the algorithim has blessed you, but also me this day. just binged the link dimension series and gave you a sub! keep it up im lovin this

[@bilsuart]

I’m glad people are saying it’s being recommended to them! Haha and I’m glad you’re enjoying it! There’s plenty more to come

[@Ixbran]

*Me, an avid Hyrule Warriors & Age of Calamity fan* A whole type dedicated to my favorite game? Im so blessed. Instant sub.

[@YourFunkiness]

I like all your rewordings of type names. I instantly got how they applied (except for psychic -> time) and the changes all evoked Zelda to me.

[@YourFunkiness]

Psychic -> Time is an okay conversion. Psychic -> Magic could also work. But I can also see how you could arbitrarily apply the Magic type to anything or nothing in Zelda. Maybe Wizard type.

[@YourFunkiness]

Suggestion: the time type is a weird conversion. It doesn't parallel the Pokemon types like your other changes do. And there aren't many classic Zelda creatures I would imagine have the time type. What if you called them the wisdom type? Wisdom types would specialize in mental acuity and using that knowledge to perform feats of wizardry, most notably warping time and space. I see this having a number of advantages: 1) People would instantly recognize that psychic = wisdom. 2) It's as thematic to Zelda as time. 3) It's a coherent type. You can immediately look at a thing and have a pretty good idea if it's a wisdom type or not as easily as if you could tell if it's desert or phantom type. 4) It makes it very easy to port over psychic moves to your game. And manipulating time is one of the things that falls under the psychic type in Pokemon. 5) I don't think any Zeldamon that you were intending to be a time type would suffer from being called a wisdom type. In fact, I think Infinitrix fits it even better, and you can instantly glean from its design that not only is it a wisdom type but it specializes in the time manipulation abilities that the psychic type would have and so would the wisdom type. 6) It's a broader theme than time. And yet, it's not so broad as to be bland. I was going to call it the "magic" type, but that was so broad as to be meaningless. And I had considered the "wizard" type, but that was so narrow as to be useless. I think it'll be easy to have wisdom be a coherent type for moves which rely on arcane secrets to manipulate minds, time, and space.

[@Gazing-09]

I hope there's a Legendary trio based of Farore, Din and Nayru. Either Pokemon or trainers who just so happen to have a Legendary Pokemon related to the Triforce goddesses.

[@dumodshorts9766]

[@Nathanael_Forlorn]

As someone, who has a lot of opinions on the official pokemon types, your types fit your region and it's biomes and world building so well! It's much better than the official pokemon typing!

[@fernandossmm]

I recommend you alter either hoothoot or infinitrix to have the same shade of blue or make those blue details more consistent. Currently that blue comes out of nowhere and I feel like it breaks continuity a bit.

If you want any help going through with making this a game, I am behind you. I will either support it through patreon or volunteer to be a programmer for it.

[@uptonogood7787]

Been following you on Instagram for a while now and love to see the jump to KZbin. You inspired me to make some of my own hyrulean forms of Pokémon as well. If this were to become a full fledged game, I would love for boss battle Pokémon equivalent to the totems and titans in SM/SV and the gym leaders stand ins be the sages. I also can’t wait to see more trinity forms in the future.

[@justanotherwoodfox]

infinitrix is awesome! :O i love the reimagined typings, normal has always seemed boring to me but you gave it a twist that makes it so much better :D (also, regional variant idea, a grimer or muk created by malice?)

[@bilsuart]

That sounds cool! It would probably be a lot cooler than regular Muk haha

[@jackychen8143]

This looks so beautiful can’t wait for the final project

[@eeveefennecfox]

I made twilight type back in like 2007 or 2008,didn't know people were starting to notice it since I don't really show off my twilight type fakemon very often to people,was afraid people would steal him away from me then he wouldn't be much of a special fakemon anymore,I've been prone all my life people stealing my OC's ;-; the type I don't mind it being used though,since we all love pokemon and legend of zelda fans

[@OrangeCoconutt]

[@Ressai_35P]

I just randomly came across this channel, and I gotta say your ideas and designs are superb! Even in Pokémon I've never had a tough decision on which starter I'd choose, but you have caused such a conundrum, which is a good thing! Not to mention you're unique takes on the types and how cleverly you integrated them into a Zelda theme. Mad props to you! Take my sub and likes good sir, you deserve them and many more, I greatly look forward to your upcoming videos!

[@reifuTD]

I hope to see the different other worlds kingdoms touched at least a little bit, Twilight, Termina, minish realm, Koholint Island, Holodrum from Oracle of Seasons and Labrynna from Oracle of Ages. Flooded variants from a wind wake scenario

I truly enjoyed this. As a long time fan of both Pokemon and especially Zelda, I truly dig this. Used to have a fun Nintendo fantasy as a kid that Link and Ash swapped worlds. Ash's pokemon transformed into weapons/items of Hyrule, and Link must take down Giovanni using pokemon the way he'd utilize his weapons.

[@ZeldaboyOG]

Honestly I would say Wind like stuff is used more than Sky. Like the Palace of Winds, the Gale Boomerang, Vaati the Wind Mage, Wind Tower, Wind Waker, the Wind Element, the Wind Tribe, the Fortress of Winds, Zephos and Cyclos the Wind Gods, the Cyclone Slate, Farore's Wind, the Wind Fish, Windcleaver, Windblight Ganon, Windfall Island, Temple of Wind, Wind Temple, Wind Tribe, Wind Ruins, Ocarina of Wind, the Hero of Winds, Wind's Requiem, Wind God's Aria, Wind Crests, Wind Marimba, Fairy of Winds, Sage of Wind, Gust Jar, Gust Bellows, Whirlwind, Tornado Rod, etc.

My brother loves Pokémon and Zelda. I can’t wait to share this with him. How many Pokémon will you do? Will you do the Regi family as the medallions or as pendants or the maidens/sages?

[@bilsuart]

There will be plenty of different designs since I have a whole Dex planned with a lot of designs finished :)

[@testerwulf3357]

So it’s both elements and general area (like forest type is plants and things that live in forests or represent forests in some way!) That’s pretty interesting. I like that hyrule type is also a type of “history” type as well as being normal creatures.

[@bilsuart]

Yeah even though some types seem no different it’s more about certain types of Pokémon will be represented more than standard Pokémon. Like Metal type will have a lot of weapon Pokémon where that isn’t as common in regular Pokémon with Steel Type

[@scarredchild]

[@jonah.w7397]

lmao draconic now has a whole new meaning

[@bilsuart]

very very true haha 😄

[@megamatiman4855]

This looks really fun and interesting, I think you could change bug to insect and make the symbol more spider like, when I think of a bug in Zelda I think of the jumping spiders and queen gohma, it would fit better aesthetically than the little beetle it has originally. I can't wait to see more from this project and infinitrix is fantastic.

[@dixonbuttes]

I love it! So creative. I’m actually a little surprised that the Sages weren’t all mined for types. I think you’ve got all but shadow (which is basically twilight) and light. I’m just gonna keep commenting this until it happens: I really hope someone makes this in RPG Maker!!

[@KillerCaitie]

I would not button mash to skip what that that HootHoot says. So cute!

[@echord6885]

I feel like you could have made electric into energy, worded a bit differently but I think it could open a few things up to the theme. Bug type could maybe have been Insectoid, having for variety and sticking to the theme. Toxic/poison could maybe have been something like Infectious or something similar. and Draconic is good but I was thinking Reptilian. and Time/phychic could maybe have been magic since you do have things like the wizards (I forgot their names but they are the wizards in botw that float around and have either fire, ice or electric type attacks)
