Reminds me of the Shintō Legend, were Izanagi plugges the entrance to the underworld with a boulder, to trap his now zombie ex-wife Izanami in there. With all the Shintō inspirations behind the sky islands, it wouldn't surprise me, if this turns out to be indeed another reference. ⛩️📿🧧🙏🧘‍♂️

[@deadsoon]

The way she falls and Ganon surges reminds me a lot of the Abduction of Persephone. Where Persephone was abducted while gathering flowers in a field, where the ground split open from Hell and Hades surged forward and brought her down with him. After the kidnapping, Persephone went from being the goddess of spring to also becoming the empress of the underworld. Plus the vaguely greek aesthetic in some aspects of the game. It's just some parallel I noticed.

[@desreploid3353]

It probably isn't what you were going for, but this carries the funny implication that Ganondorf and Zelda actually enter into a pretty well functioning relationship and the Zelda's Mother comes back from the dead to get angry at Ganondorf whenever Zelda isn't around.

[@deadsoon]

@@desreploid3353 yeah, the biggest difference is that Ganon isn't in love with Zelda like Hades was to Persephone, indeed 🗿

[@LeviathaninWaves]

I've been predicting this for quite some time now. It'll be incredible if it's true. Also, those sparkling lights in Hateno belong to the torches. This effect is present in BotW at night if you move slowly horizontally (say from the tech lab). It's a rendering artifact.

[@MonsterMaze]

Aah good to know. I thought it was a bit peculiar that these flashes were not visible in any other shot so far. But this is the first view we have of a proper town. So it would make sense for artifacts like these to show up. They are a bit more erratic and noticable than I remember them in BotW though

[@adithya260]

The Hebra and Death mountain argument is really convincing and the upgraded Shiekha slate really makes me think we might still have underground sections where we can play as Zelda. (not to mention her design change which screams playable character.)

[@MonsterMaze]

Imagine if the slate's lens acts as a sort of Lens of Truth! Allowing Zelda to see the faces behind the ghost flames and maybe even talk to them ^^

[@adithya260]

@@MonsterMaze Using the lens of truth to talk to spirits would explain why the lens has such a significant looking design on the slate.

[@javiervasquez625]

​@@MonsterMaze That would be cool but it would also be kind of weird seeing as the slates are made of "technology" (as far as we're concerned) which doesn't fit very well with the supernatural part of the Zelda universe. Maybe the slate will only allow her to find the spirit flames but without the ability to talk to them.

[@Tass...]

Gonna call it... The upside down looking guardian with the spool of cable in one of its legs with "Transport" written around it is one of many locations that work the same as an elevator down not up. If there is a really large explorable area that is an underworld there will need to be load points for it. It's one thing having a continuous area from sky to land but an underworld would need loading areas. It's also possible that those "elevators of decent" are part of the new towers we have seen in the trailer. The room we have seen certainly fits the size of the interior of a tower. So maybe the towers are duel purpose. Their height allows for opening up of the map in the overworld but they also double as mineshafts to the underworld.

[@mordecai144k2]

Those green spirals remind me of the spiral tempests in Minish Cap that made Link be able to access the sky people's domain.

[@Hooliganagain]

That’s what I was thinking! I’m getting some MC vibes from this game but I’m also looking for them. Imagine if they brought Kinstones back ❤

Your description of underground really matched Commonwealth Realm’s theory on the three layers of Hyrule if not the Triforce in Tears of the Kingdom.

I remember that feeling when I first started botw. I felt like I didn’t know what to expect and I couldn’t wait. I can’t wait to have the same feeling with totk. I can’t wait for that feeling when I grab the game card from the box and stick into the switch. I literally can’t wait!!!!!

This is just an alternate interpretation of the mural on the steelbook, but the mountains could just be forming a horizon line that the people in the image are standing in front of. They’re not underground just in the foreground.

[@mercy3758]

What's the possibility that the yellow objects in Hateno are Poe's? They appear to be cloaked, have an odd looking body and are lit up but without the lanterns. Nintendo seems to have altered some of it's enemy predecessor's like the ReDead's mouth, the three headed dragon and some not so familiar. Obviously Nintendo's strategy is kick up the enemy competition especially since the Guardians are no longer a threat on the land. The Poe's being in Hateno where Links house resides is a given, and the lights floating around maybe something similar to the spirits of light which were once the Hateno villagers.

[@intenSje]

You and Zeltic are currently the best (and my favourite) zelda youtubers :)

[@raiderz4life50]

I respectively considered Zeltik and Monster Maze the 🐐's of Zelda I'm 42 years old and in 1987 I started playing Zelda became my favorite game You guys have reminded me that this is the greatest video game franchise in life

[@dargoz8]

You should revisit this theory. The tallest mountains are the deepest valleys. The lowest plains and canyons are the highest cliffs and plateaus. And each and every river, lake and bottomless pit (minus the chasms) have become impossibly high rock faces that reach up to the very overworld itself. The depths is a literal mirror of its above surface twin. So given it's inverse nature my theory is that depths is none other than Lorule itself, or rather the result of it's inevitable collapse. In fact I would argue that it's the collapse of this realm that ultimately caused the convergence of the three timelines.

[@shanesimons8987]

I'm thinking the green spirals are charge points for your green canisters. You will need to drop them to the ground from the sky islands. you wont be able to attack Gannons minions or underground camps without being able to charge your weapons etc. So you need to explore the sky islands, drop the charge points, then break into the new territories below by charging your cannisters and exploring and repairing underground areas. Thats why you see the deactivated stones on the sky islands.

[@Keanine]

Interesting idea, but I personally don't think they'll be bringing ammo for major items back. With Link Between World's and Breath of the Wild they decided that major items no longer need ammo as it hinders progression. That said, it's possible they've found a way to make it in a way they consider fun!

[@jaredponder4149]

Going up to the sky which is the realm of Divinity aka, the Goddesses, and imbuing Link with their power makes sense if you want to tackle Hell and it's demon hordes..

[@shanesimons8987]

Yeah character switching seems possible. Unless they want to do it in seperate chapters but... that kinda goes against the whole "open world" freedom philosophy. Getting locked into a character specific chapter would be cool, but also restrictive.

[@theoaremevano3227]

Could be cool if instead of just having those be pools of malice, as I thought, they were actually holes that spawn enemies, an/or even allow you do descend through them. Better get some grenades and a Hammer of Dawn. XD I also find it intriguing to consider a people living beneath the surface, in addition to those that may live in the sky, or possibly a society that became split between them. Perhaps the seemingly conflicting reports of Zonai being barbaric, or potentially advanced simultaneously are a result of a split in their society that sent some underground and others into the sky. Perhaps Ganon/Demise and Hylia had some part in this, with some people in Zonai society choosing to follow one or the other, causing them to part ways and leave the surface peoples that followed confused about what was left behind.

[@meesgraas128]

The light sparkles in 11:40 are from the lanterns in the village. You can stand from a distance and look at the village in botw to see the exact same light sparkles

[@Shidan174]

So I don't think those flickering lights at 11:40 are anything but a graphical quirk. I was just playing botw, gliding down to Hateno from Mount Lanayru, and you can see that exact pattern of flickering lights as you descend when you reach a certain distance. Upon getting closer, it is revealed to just be the town's lanterns along the roads (not the blue flame ones).

3:27 I can't stress the number of times I've seen this misconception. As a fluent Japanese speaker, I've actually seen side by side comparisons of the text between both versions. Yes, it's true that there are some inconsistencies present, but they're not as common as some make them out to be. The vast majority of the time, they state practically the same thing. And it's worth noting that translation for games seemingly pre-1993/94 (ALTTP, Zelda 1 and 2) was clearly very different to now or even since LA or OoT. It's been much better since then. And English and Japanese are very different languages. Words can mean a certain english word, but that english word can be used to describe something else too. There's also the fact that the Zelda 1 manual calls the "underworld" literal underground labrynths. The name is to act in contrast to the "overworld". It clearly doesn't mean the literal Underworld.

[@MonsterMaze]

I can recommend taking a look at QuestWithAaron's channel. He is also a Japanese speaker and thoroughly explains the differences. Even in more recent games like Skyward Sword. His videos are a great watch!

[@slopernafti902]

@@MonsterMaze I've seen his videos and he's made multiple errors in many of his videos. Many of the "differences" he highlights aren't actually real differences, but he presents it as such for some reason. E.g. he said that describing the Skull Kid as an "imp" is a difference between JP and English, when it isn't as the JP term can translate to that. There are multiple other examples of this type of false information that are present in his videos. He doesn't seem to make any reference to the technicals of the Japanese language and how some words can be translated to different things. He also seems to misinterpret multiple lines in English and Japanese and make claims that certain english lines aren't correct when context and things the game shows us proves that they are actually true.

[@mojojojo2188]

Hi! Could you cover the theory that the „Ganondorf“ of totk might actually be the hero from the first calamity, whose body was used to seal the calamity in?

I'm really sick of all these people who think we're going to play Zelda. Before there was the argument of the character with the "antique" outfit whose face we hadn't seen.
