[@kylecyrus9457]

I'm convinced Zelda's true power is her ability as the best hype man. She got everybody riding the Link train and betting their entire futures on a guy they've never even met.

[@oscarm7787]

Still doesn’t make sense since there is still a hero in the “original calamity”mentioned in BOTW we even get an armor set for him so why was this link more important than that hero?

[@kylecyrus9457]

@oscarm7787 makes perfect sense, the original hero didn't have anyone managing his pr. Didn't get famous until he died and people examined his work afterwards, happens all the time. A good hype man is a necessity.

[@brianwishon7322]

⁠@@oscarm7787the first calamity didn’t decimate Hyrule castle and allow Ganondorf to escape. Not to mention, the Zonai hero had all the help he needed, whereas Link needed to reclaim the divine beasts, become a single champion army, and had a Zelda that only just unlocked her power and used it to hold back Ganon for 100 years. I’d pick the guy that was able to do all that with amnesia over some ancient hero that has no known history of struggling, because even with those feats BotW Link barely made it alive from his first interaction with a mummified Ganondorf. Ancient hero would’ve likely been killed. Especially with the fact that Rauru’s arm had been weakening Ganondorf down from the imprisoning war to Link and Zelda’s arrival. Had he been found 10,000 years earlier he’d have been far stronger than what we had to face off against

[@amanofnoreputation2164]

I thinks it's rather the case that the last hero, the one to finally defeat Ganondorf and destroy the root of the calamity, was also the first: the story is a loop/spiral. You can think of Rauru as the first hero, but he drew up his plan to defeat Ganondorf _after Zelda told him about Link,_ meaning he inherited the charge of fighting Gnaondorf _from Link_ even though Link wouldn't be born for millennia. In BOTW, the "last leader of Hyrule" King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule, charged Link with defeating Ganon. In TOTK, Link passed his charge to Rauru -- the _first_ leader of Hyrule. "In the world to come, the last shall be first, and the first shall be last." Also consider that the game's motif is a ring of two dragons consuming each other, forming an uroboros.

Tbh I never saw this til just now. “What a clever way to solve your problems… … thousands of years will pass in the blink of an eye; you only delay the inevitable.” He truly wasn’t even mad that he was sealed because he knew it was only temporary - and he loved the idea of fighting Link in the future to prove Rauru wrong. He definitely was impressed that Rauru somehow sealed him.

This single cutscene raises the stakes for TotK so much higher.

This time though, the possibility of Ganondorf defeating Link is very real.

This cutscene can be best be described as epically prophetic. To any onlooker alive during this time, it seems that the resistance has only achieved a temporary pyrrhic victory, with Ganandorf merely being locked away in a temporary slumber at the expense of their beloved king. That is what Rauru thinks too, and yet he’s willing to trust in Zelda’s wisdom and places all his faith in a hero destined to be born thousands of years into the future. He places the fate of Hyrule into the hands of the knight with the sword that seals the darkness and literally tells the manifestation of evil that he will be defeated by said hero because destiny itself has ordained it to be so. Really drives home now Link isn’t some knight that got lucky (like what Revali thought), but is indeed the savior of Hyrule as proclaimed by its very first king thousands of years ago.

[@tky546]

Absolutely! That cutscene is truly epic, emphasizing Link's destiny as the savior of Hyrule, as foretold by its first king.

so why is there 2 Zelda then how can Zelda be in the distant past when she was already in the botw. as she wasn't there 10.000 years ago with Raura 1st king of hyrule and like it confused me how does this play out showing the last batter with all sages and Zelda even tho zelda wasn't there 10.000 years ago so how does it play out when she was born in botw after her mother pass away work that one out, as Zelda did say to ganondorf " how do you know our name" but yet the picture on the wall show that she was in it but she doesn't have a clue help me on this please

[@cursedbeanboy142]

​@Adrian Rennie Zelda was always in the past. Zelda traveled to the past and all the events of the past occurred as we saw them in game. Then, she transformed into a dragon and was able to live until current times as a dragon, unrecognizable to anyone as Zelda. That's why Ganonforf recognizes Link and Zelda at the beginning of the game, because he met Zelda after she traveled to the past and he heard of Link from Rauru.

[@cursedbeanboy142]

@Adrian Rennie Think of it like this. Zelda was born and grew up until the Calamity happened, in which Link was defeated, was sent to rest, and the kingdom fell into ruin for 100 years. After that, Link wakes up and BOTW happens. A few years later, Link and Zelda go investigate the gloom under hyrule castle, and there they find Ganondorf. Ganondorf attacks Zelda and Link, and as a result, Zelda travels back in time. *Then* Zelda experiences all of the events in the past, and the last thing she does there is become a dragon. Zelda's story is linear, and the events of the present happen before the events of the past to her. In BOTW and at the beginning of TOTK, she has yet to time travel. As such, she doesn't yet know of what happened in the past. You need to view it less as "Zelda is both in the past and the present" and more as "Zelda was in the present and then in the past".

Since the Sage of Light is named Rauru, I think it's also fair to assume the Zora Sage is Ruto, the Goron Sage is Darunia and the Gerudo Sage is Nabooru. I'm not sure about the Rito Sage since Medli was a girl, but I'm gonna call him Medar since he's also the Wind Sage like Makar. These guys are who the Divine Beasts are named after.

But keep in mind thousands of years have passed and several eras until they establish the kingdom. Link, Groose, Zelda, her father they have been dead for a very very long time. Those events were forgotten and considered legends. In our world stuff that happend 4k years ago are considered legends or are really blurred and wer are more advanced than this people. Thats why nobody knows about the master sword or even the triforce, because it was sealed in the sacred realm. This games happen in a time expand of thosands of years.

It is a bit confusing though, somwehre it is also Mentioned ingame with 10.000 years Ago, so we don’t really know for sure how long Ganon was actually sealed down there, directly under Hyrule Castle. There are also some references on the Gerudo and why no male Gerudo was born a very long time. Need to look all these things up I guess

[@scifisyko]

Oh man, it’s SO UNSETTLING when the catacombs music starts up at the end there, haha.

[@Thatguynamedyeast]

Can already tell that the age of calamity equivalent for this game (if it happens) would probably start with something causing link and the master sword to fall into the pit alongside zelda where they all travel to the past to defeat Ganondorf in an alternate timeline

[@Infinite85563]

Rauru: This hand of mine glows with an awesome power, it's burning grip tells me to defeat you, HERE I GO, SHIIINIIINNNGG FIIINGERRR!!!

[@Pelmeshrek]

I think russian voices of Rauru and Ganondorf are the best

[@DeadMasterMusic]

5:00 crazy seeing this moment again back in the 2019 teaser when it was Rauru all along keeping Ganondorf sealed

[@Davechow12]

Not exactly sure where this fits in the Zelda timeline, though I’m sure it will be worked out eventually, but from this through Ocarina of Time, Link to the Past, Windwaker, Twilight Princess, the first Calamity and BOTW…….I think it’s somewhere between fifty to a hundred thousand years of Ganondorf being trapped down there.

[@ArsmozaDork]

Rauru and Link Those two fought Demon King Ganondorf One sealed him for thousands years and the other finished the job.

[@Adam-mh7zv]

You know rarau really should have given link the ability to hold ganon in place in the event he couldn't defeat him, so that way be could have a failsafe

[@rullg849]

The change between the song rauru’s farewell but when he mentions link it turns into link’s theme is gorgeous

[@arbalest327]

I dont care what anyone says about the story, the way rauru sealed ganondorf will forever be to me the most badass scene besides the divine beasts firing upon calamity ganon.

[@Vinno1234]

love the way the music goes quieter as Rauru's centering himself and deciding to seal Ganondorf

[@fatalwaffle1715]

As King Rauru is Silver The Hedgehog's Nintendo Counterpart. I wonder if Silver will do something similar in Sonic's Version of Tears Of The Kingdom.

[@davish7864]

So Raru basically pulls a Gil-Galad & Elendil vs. Sauron moment, which makes Link… ISILDUR! 😳

[@emiartse]

4:35 the way i got CHILLS

[@ludavila4574]

Is it just me or does rauru’ seal sounds a little like the bell tower from majoras mask?

[@JQuelin7]

This scene was amazing. I get chills every time I watch it. But I’m sorta getting tired of the memories. I wish I could play through all of the tense moments and not just hear about them

[@FoolOverride]

Every game needs a Game of the Year moment. 4:10 This is that moment

[@tky546]

Absolutely!

[@bananadaily2317]

if it doesn’t then imma riot lol

[@Railbreaker84]

3:18 All that's missing is Rauru screaming "SHINING FINGER"

[@mookiestewart3776]

They really pulled the “shadow shuriken jutsu “ on Gannon there 😂. This cutscene was so fucking dope man !! Love the main theme at 4:30

[@jasonmg99]

I think there should be a story DLC campaign based on these past events

[@Trini360X]

3:01 Ganondorf got them moves!

[@panik9122]

I did the spirit temple as my 3rd doungeon i found mineru's robot face casually roaming around the open world holy shit i was so hyped

[@brandoescalona4335]

Bro, the piano on the 4:54... 😭

[@paddotk]

TotK is supposed to be a direct sequel of BotW in the same timeline, but the stories conflict completely. If the Zonai came down a long time ago and founded Hyrule, and Ganon was imprisoned until the start of TotK, then how come BotW had Ganon as well and another whole history of battles 10000 and 100 years prior?

[@Bboy4life_775]

When the main theme came on and Ganondorf was excited to meet link. It just made me want to fight him even more. Thousands of years past to this one battle. Im ready 😎

[@swagmessiah37]

the zelda community looked at this image 5:08 for 4 years and finally seeing it again in-game was amazing

[@master_atlas]

Wait, where has Ganondorf seen what Rauru did before? I never realized he said that as if he had been through the seal or seen it to some compacity before?

[@aki5970]

he was talking about the attack-move they did to distract ganondorf so rauru can get in a good spot

[@loganthevillager9176]

4:22 Chris Hackney really needs an award for this line.

[@basilplushie2534]

It would have been so much better if he said i remember that name instead of interesting i look forward To meetings him

[@Crusty783]

not rly

[@oscarwentzel2244]

The buildup music is just so good

[@oscarwentzel2244]

2:30

[@koopa9815]

The main theme that plays during this is so good. I wish they milked the main Zelda soundtrack more in these games because I think its one of the best soundtracks in any game

[@christoferrbethea3488]

i love how mineru tells link about the story of the zonai king rauru and queen Sonia and the secret stones and the sages ancestors and ganondorf and the kingdom of hyrule

[@christoferrbethea3488]

you're wrong years from now someone will appear with the sword that seals the darkness the swordsman with the power to defeat you link remember this name!

[@hatsketch3029]

the best scenes in the game made me chill overtime i watched it rauru the goat

[@finnheisenheim8274]

Good on Rauru for sealing Ganondorf but why didn't anyone try to pry the secret stone out of Ganondorf's forehead while he was sealed?

[@ryansanow3276]

I was so shocked to hear Dimitri from Fire Emblem Three Houses come out of Rauru’s mouth 😂

[@christoferrbethea3488]

4:56 king rauru had me in tears when he seal the demon king ganondorf away he sacrifice himself and he s gone with queen Sonia and i cried

[@conman_waffles3111]

What is that theme at the end of the scene, I can't find it for the life of me

[@tky546]

I can't find it either. Probably an unreleased theme.

[@conman_waffles3111]

Ah dang

[@B237N]

That is the prologue's theme Search for TOTK Prologue music

[@FroggyORTIZ]

Dude, the OG theme playing alongside Link’s name? The Legend of Himothy.

[@rajeshbedi]

Why they didn't removed the stone from his head while he's at rest? Can anyone tell me pls

[@ScarletThot]

Because it will break the seal

[@minhhoangang2278]

Maybe it's because Ganon used his dark magic so no one could take the stone out of his head.

[@immagical7036]

3:39 Good god the way Rauru’s magic just starts rushing out of his back like that!! Looks like it hurt

[@Im_Iconic-Youre_Ironic]

Now i just question how we never saw any bones or any remains of rauru... not even his body like ganon

[@wayvoedorado71]

Maybe all of Rauru’s body and energy was being used to contain ganondorf and that’s why by the time you get there you see none of his remains and the seal also stops working.

[@Im_Iconic-Youre_Ironic]

@huevodorado71 Yeah but... he'd still have bones from when he died. Ganon showed age by being shrivelled up like a raisin.

[@nyongtory4e]

Because Rauru died. He tells Ganondorf he knows which price he'll have to pay to bind him. Only his arm binding Ganondorf remained, the rest of his body dicomposed. While Ganondorf was binded for thousands of years, his body slowly weakened but he remained alive.

[@Im_Iconic-Youre_Ironic]

@@nyongtory4e Literally has no correlation. I asked why we don't even see anything if raurus remains, not even a skeleton, and you just yap on. 🤣

[@nyongtory4e]

​@@Im_Iconic-Youre_IronicThere is though. Let me sum it up for you: Rauru died! Ganondorf lived! Thousands of years passed! So there wouldnt be any bones or ramains left of a corpse now would there?

[@Arthus850]

I would have loved it if they added some lines referencing the rest of the Zelda timelines. “Your seal won’t save anyone. Following the example of my predecessor, Demon King Demise, I curse this land. For as long as I exist, an incarnation of my being will appear to finish what I started” “Then you clash with the Goddess Hylia’s gift to the land, that every time an incarnation of Demise, including yourself, appears, a reincarnation of her chosen hero will be there to defend Hyrule!” “I’m counting on it.” That way we’d get an explanation as to how this Ganondorf who predates all the others can exist while other versions of Ganondorf/Ganon start appearing in the years to come.

[@dialgafan1063]

"Eventually, someday, somebody will pray for a miracle, pray for something to save them, to whatever gods are nearby, and that prayer will be answered because you’ll show up. That’s how it works. That’s what a champion is." -Taliesin Jaffe as Caduceus Clay When Rauru talks about Link it made me think of this quote.

[@WalmartWhite.]

Honestly idk how these theory channels are going to make sense of this mess. Botw clearly states that Skyward, oot, and Twilight happen, which means a hero existed the same time this ganondorf. We see in a different cutscene ganondorf swearing loyalty to the king (as seen in oot from the garden) But in this timeline, ganondorf doesnt give two doodoos about the triforce, rather he wants to get "stoned" and very clearly DOESN'T meet or kill the hero of time. (He didnt turn his head and see link or link just straight up wasnt there) The hero of time also does not awaken any of the sages, rather they are chosen by Rauru. It just doesnt make any sense.

[@agure4061]

There have been multiple instances of zelda before so reincarnation isn’t linear, ganondorf has already been reincarnated before. Also the kingdom of Hyrule has been refounded before after the sea swallowed it so likely the zonai coming down is another refounding after Hyrule fell.

[@amanofnoreputation2164]

Only if you assume it's the same Ganondorf, but repeated reference is made to the fact that a Gerudo king is only born once every 100 years, as if to remind you that the Ganondorf we're familiar with isn't the only Gerudo king to have ever existed.

[@WalmartWhite.]

@@amanofnoreputation2164 so far in the series every single Ganondorf is the same person (not including ganon) recall in botw where the gerudo said there hasnt been a male born in recent memory(i cant recall how long but its heavily implied that another male cant be born while a male exists) just gonna have to wait and see. At this point i wouldnt be surprised if they pull some 4th timeline nonsense. Still a cool game

[@sws212]

Ganondorf just wants power, the vehicle itself doesn't matter. The stones in this timeline were enough to give him that. Whether the Triforce is just lost or doesn't reveal itself, it's just the sages' powers were enough for him to rule just by him corrupting it but he doesn't need a triforce specifically.

[@WalmartWhite.]

@@sws212 bruh ganondorf is attracted to children dawg I must defeat him

[@OmnigmaTheMaster]

Ganon meets Akuma from SF. Ganon: i got an idea

[@lilsmolcrow]

Why did no one try to stab him while sealed?

[@vikhdez9306]

Only the Master Sword could've killed him

[@christoferrbethea3488]

that pride will be your downfall ganondorf
