Theres a popular theory going around, it might be a little out there but the facts don’t lie. The Yiga all dress very similarly, they all live to serve their master, they have the one eye design. The only visible hair is on their head, they have survived for centuries and they all love bananas. I think it is very clear now that the Yiga are the next evolution of the Minions from Despicable me. The facts don’t lie !

Thunderblight ain't shiz Sure his fight was annoying, even in [Spoilers kinda?] _Age of Calamity_ but the only blight I died to, and I will add, multiple times; especially after trying to skip to the castle, was Waterblight. Even with the knowledge of cryonis being able to break ice, which... I got... very late... the only way I was able to beat him was spamming the hell out of the few bomb arrows I had into it's eye.

Also, the new favorite foods of the Sheikah are Fortified Pumpkins, which increase defense, and Swift Carrots, which make you go faster. That shows that they no longer want to fight. And the prong on the Eightfold Blade seems like it could be used for catching an enemy’s sword to disarm the enemy.

Another potential solution to your issue around why Link would be frightened by the Blights. I always assumed he developed PTSD (or something similar, I’m no mental health professional) because, though the boss fights are easy, being faced off against a foe of such magnitude that killed your friends, one of your love interests, and Ravioli would probably have a significant mental impact. However, this is also just pure conjecture

[@Jas13579]

I do believe he definitely would have ended up with some sort of ptsd because he can't remember what happened to him,all his friends are dead,and he would probably end up blaming himself for their deaths,and all that on top of having to save practically the entire world

[@Omeyrolx_theChessmaster]

14:52-15:17 This sounds crazy, but hear me out: What if Revali didn't have the Great Eagle Bow in his battle with Windblight Ganon? It would explain its abscence in the rematch fight. Revali claimed he could've taken it on and won if he wasn't unlucky, which does sound in-character with his blowhard nature, but maybe he was telling the truth? If he didn't have his best weapon on him for some reason, of course he wouldn't be able to fight at his full potential. Alternatively, if the rematches are based on the fears of the Champions', maybe a big fear Revali had was that without such a weapon, he felt worthless next to the other Champions? It's interesting to note that out of all of them, Revali isn't a proper knight like Link (who's own father was a revered knight himself), or a tribal leader/royalty like the others. Being next to others born into greatest or had a lineage, while he had to work his way there, must've hurt his ego immensely. Heck, of the other Champions, Link's the closest of them to a commoner like Revali, and the former was granted the title of the Hero of Legend. Of course Revali would be jealous towards him. But hey, that's just a theory.

[@NinteNerd69]

To answer why revalis bow isnt in the fight in the illusory realm, the reason being that it probably broke during the fight considering that this is botw and he uses his weapon the most out the all the champions because it is shown in memories that revali constantly trains, and when he dose it causes more damage to the bow due to how it has a string and isnt metal like a sword. In otherwords, training with a bow damages the bow more than it would if you were training with a sword.

My theory: The reason why the champions have divine beasts is because Maz Koshia most likely gave the champions trials and when they completed them, they acquired a divine beast, if this is true, then Link is a divine beast tamer, therefore, the master cycle is part of his divine beast (the divine beast he acquired when he defeated Maz Koshia, the bigger version of the master cycle is the divine beast), don't quote me, this is just a theory.

[@blyatfulcommunism171]

Age of Calamity confirmed to us that Monk Maz Koshia is the only Shekiah to had received a divine revolution from goddess Hylia, making him as old as the Great Calamity itself. Hence why he is the only one who is shown to stand and challenge the hero during the trial

@@kellen8405 The Blights are also only Malice and Guardian parts, therefore things like stamina don't apply to them.

[@REDFRLegend]

Each blight was created to be the hard counter for the champion it fights against. The tornadoes Windblight creates can throw Revali out of the sky and make his arrows lose their direction, it shoots way faster than him and it has help from his flying miniguns. Also apparently Revali fought him at night. This doesn't seem like a big problem until we learn from a rito woman in gerudo town that a rito doesn't have great night vision, so all Revali could rely on was the sound of moving wind, which isn't really helpful when you fight on something that is high in the sky, constantly moving and you hear the wind rushing past it the whole time, and the few lights that Windblight had on him. I don't have night vision myself. Trust me when I say that these few things don't really help to pinpoint where something is at night. But its still impressive that he apparently lasted the longest out of all the champions, if you consider that his SOS, which you can hear when you are in Vah Medoh, started way later than the other champions SOS which lead many fans to believe that Revali lasted the longest against his blight and only sent out the SOS when he was nearly dead

I've been replaying the series in preparation for Age of Calamity, and something struck me about the Gorons that reminded me of something. Then I realized it: the Pequeninos (Portugese for Little Ones, alternatively Piggies) from Orson Scot Card's book "Speaker for the Dead" and other books in the "Ender's Game" series. (Spoilers for Speaker for the Dead) Both species seem to only have one gender, and call each other "Brother" with very rare references to Father/Son. Both species seem very tied to their environment, with Gorons basically being rocks living on a mountain (and seem to turn more rocky/ volcano-ish as they get older), and the Pequeninos live in the forest and turn into trees when they die. Both are suprisingly good craftsmen with their particular material (wood for Pequeninos, stone and iron for Gorons) and work well with humans/ hylians but generally keep to their own civilization and cities. "Speaker for the Dead" came out in 1986 to interest and acclaim in the Sci-Fi community, winning the Hugo and Nebula awards. There was plenty of time for the developers to read it and include some inspirations from it into the Gorons for Ocarina of Time (over 10 years). I'd be interested about what others think about this, and if anyone else even realized that there was a whole series of books that followed the famous "Ender's Game." Anyone who is interested can make a video on this. It might lead to some new and interesting theories about Gorons.

[@littlebigwave1043]

two years late so probably no one will see this, but maybe the reason link isnt given the great eagle bow in the illusory realm when revali did is because in addition to fearing windblight ganon, maybe revali is afraid of not having it? and that fear of not having his prized bow was strong enough to carry over with the fear of windblight ganon. there might be some self-worth implications as well as others here but im too tired to try and think through them

“I offer you this final trail.” Proceeds to drop a sick as fuck beat

[@Tabasa05]

I'm so glad to hear someone else feels the Great Plateau was raised unnaturally, though I never thought to equate it with the Divine Beast. It would make sense, though, if Hyrule Castle IS rising from the ground in the trailer for the sequel.

[@HenningGu]

I am about to enter the Shrine of resurrection and am realizing, that the fight is the monk in this.... shriveled form. Just imagine what he is capable of in the past.

[@Artist-128]

Not me getting a Dole bananas advertisement halfway through the video 😭

[@gavinn.7272]

this man really had me in the first half with the audible ad.

[@doomer17o]

I have a theory. In the "true ending" for Breath of the Wild, Zelda says "We'll make our way to Zora's Domain. Divine Beast Vah Ruta... looks like it stopped working. Let's investigate the situation." Now, why bring that line up? Well, in the Breath of the Wild 2 trailer, there aren't any shines. You could argue that after defeating Gannon, Link and Zelda made the sheika towers go back under ground and thus the shines did the same. But, what if Gannon is recorrupting the Divine Beasts. What if by the when the trailer takes place, he has even corrupt the 5th divine beast and now Link and Zelda went to Hyrue Castle to see if there was any bits of Gannon remaining. But when they get there, Gannon realizes their presence and causes an earthquake under Hyrue Castle making Link and Zelda to fall into the cave in the trailer. Hope you see this, NBC.

[@eddy7346]

I purposefully stalled in that battle just to listen to the music. Maz Koshia has good music taste

[@dannydevito1747]

Dude that was the best transition to an advertisement I have ever seen, keep things like that up

[@DunantheDefender]

"It was able to best me 100 years ago... but only because I was winging it." Maybe he meant he didn't have his bow for some reason.

[@Aluandale]

Okay; with a bit of research, I found Revali did NOT in fact have his bow with him in the memory of the calamity awakening. At the base of the mountain, right before he flies up to the air - it's not there. For some unknown reason, he did not bring his great eagle bow with him up Mt. Lanayru, so when he flew to his divine beast - a seemingly direct flight - he was quite literally "winging" it. At least, as far as gameplay and Links memories serve.

[@Aluandale]

That, or at some point on the mountain, it broke (durability and all that, assuming the characters follow the gameplay rules)

[@DunantheDefender]

@@Aluandale or maybe his worst fear is using inferior equipment, haha.

[@nicklesterplays4142]

Idea comic:one hit abliterator you shall take this challenge and complete it Link:"about to get it " Revali:i should be the chosen one!"takes it" Revali:loses hearts

[@thecrakin6072]

The Maz Koshia fight music slap to hard

[@sillyman2]

"Local boy kicks shit out of 10,000 year monk for a bike."

[@PitXRoxas]

the best boss with the best boss theme. I use it for everything

[@Sungam-wk4xb]

9:48 meanwhile in the age of calamity impa go bruh

[@user-cb5qu1nk4d]

‘Who is Maz Koshia?’ Me: Old man that shoots lasers can dynamax make copies of himself and has a theme that is fire

[@havoc905]

They probably didn't add the great eagle bow because of game balance since it would deal 84 damage every time fired (not accounting for crits) and has a fast rate of fire you can go into bullet time mode and nuke windblight with no effort, since these fights are meant to be challenging it would trivialize the battle

[@MikeMr305]

Isnt it crazy this game has been out for years now and theres still so many things to learn and talk about

[@ninjiinc.8883]

8:40 the shekia can actually be seen next to the divine beasts in the clip your showing

[@Zer0_._]

I have a pet theory of my own. Maz Koshia is actually Master Maz Koshia. I think he was a Battlemaster of sorts. Which also means he would have taught combat skills. And considering Koshia is over 10k years old (the last calamity, when we can assume the monks were sealed in their shrines, due to them being considered "ancient," as well as the state of their bodies. Preserved corpses look very different at 100 years old, which was when Link was sealed away, meaning that this most likely was WELL before the schism in the Sheikah that resulted in the Yiga Clan. So it's likely that Maz Koshia is the progenitor of the Yiga/Shiekah combat style. That's why he uses similar moves, but to greater effect. Cause he created the techniques. I know, it might not make total sense, but that's what I'm rolling with.

[@House_of_Green]

The hand sealing ganondorf looks like the hand of one of the monks.

[@GarryDumblowski]

About Windblight's Illusory Realm, the Great Eagle Bow is probably the most powerful of the champion weapons. You still get a Falcon Bow, which Revali presumably would have used at some time, so I always assumed the devs just didn't want the Windblight rematch to be too easy.

[@-aestheticfox-3335]

Hey guys i'm back!Glad you're back to making zelda vids again but I want to tell people something Whoever is Reading this: Your skin isn't a paper don't cut it Your body isn't a book don't judge it Your heart isn't a door don't lock it Your life isn't a movie don't end it it You're beautiful the way you are!

[@nutellagott9172]

maz koshia is also the master the princess 10 000 years ago as told in the last scene of kass after completing the champions Ballad. Itwas also said that he loved the princess but she only had eyes for her knight.

[@_Chara_Dreemurr]

"Current Sheikah bad. They use weapons only." Impa’s set move in Age of Calamity : Am I a joke to you ?

[@bluejadite4318]

These monks probably parallel the monks who buried themselves in Japan's histroy

[@princesscadance197]

In the sequel, I wanna see Kohga, now back and bloodthirsty, attack the heroes, but before his strike can land, something blocks it - Koshia. Shiekah vs Yiga.

[@lilpao]

Regarding the great platou some have said that in Hyrule Warriors that area is not elevated, so it was probably elevated to protect Link

[@orenji64]

It’s like when you suddenly hear the guardian battle music. But 10 times more terrifying. Scarier than Minecraft cave sounds!
