Why do Hylians keep forgetting the Sky?

[@fishnewt1331]

To be fair, they also forgot their own gods….twice. First, they forgot about Hylia and solely worshiped the Golden Goddesses. Now, they do remember Hylia, yet no longer remember the Triforce and we see no evidence of them serving the Golden Goddesses (the Royal Family might remember, given Zelda mentions the ancient gods).

The royal family has a triforce symbol in the throne room And also on the place where the cerimony of link becoming the knight

​@@rich_gamer0667 yet they still dont wrokship any of the goddesses

[@TheBanishedWind]

@@elcalabozodelandroide2 Maybe not onscreen, but here is where we must step out of the Watsonian lens of in-universe information to look at the very Doylist "Law of Conservation of Detail" by one Anton Chekhov. That is to say, we do not see the Hyruleans practice their religion if it is not an important detail. What little we saw in Skyward Sword was only shown because of its importance to the story. Ergo, we can step back into the Watsonian and conclude Link likely simply never saw it in action due to it not being important to his missions.

i tried to figure out the timeline awhile ago & i figured totk was after sksw, but before everything else. hylians could have very well stayed on skyloft, and without the goddess' light likely keeping them looking 'hylian' couldve gained traits more suited to where they are. the civilization they make on the earth isnt necessarily a kingdom then, and i dont think theyd have enough people to make it one. as for the occa & minish, my thought was that they were at a lower elevation, unaffected by the replacement of the cloud barrier after early totk. the idea that occa came from loftwings and evolved into cuccos is an interesting one!

[@majimoo]

Huh. I didn’t think of lower elevations to clouds. The evolution thing is a fun idea, but anything can happen in a world with goblin magic!

[@JClin-c3c]

underrated. U will get popular trust

[@pguig22]

I mean no harm…but “HILL-ee-uns?” Isn’t it pretty apparent at this point that it’s “HIGH-lee-uns?” No? Am I missing something? The Goddess, “HIGH-lee-uh?” And “HIGH-rule?” Again, I mean no harm, but this seems obvious.

[@majimoo]

Sorry Hylian isn’t my first language 🙃

[@pguig22]

@ Yeah understood. I didn’t mean to criticize. It’s more about how often I hear the pronunciation in Zelda KZbin. Just me being a pedantic jerk. Also, I’m only like 82.6% sure I say it right anyway. So carry on. Appreciate the videos.

[@majimoo]

Oh no, you’re good. I’d rather have you telling me my mistakes than not!

[@TheBanishedWind]

@@majimoo So, going back to Hylians, I trust you got Hylia's name right now too, yes? Well just to be safe, Fi's name is pronounced with a long "i" like the personal pronoun. It's just something I've seen people get wrong so often that it ends up unknowingly grinding my gears.

[@brandonbaggaley2317]

A split off of Skyward Sword doesn’t work. The time travel for the fight against Demise is definitely a dragonbreak from the Elder Scrolls games. A dragonbreak is a phenomenon where time breaks, splitting into many different timelines, but time fixes itself into one timeline, making all of the outcomes of the splits truth, yet contradictory.

[@Smithchipsareodd]

The algorithm has blessed me!

[@Glooberpoober]

the way you pronounce "Hylia" and "Hylians" so wrong is incredibly agitating. but other than that, good video

[@majimoo]

Sorry to agitate you Mr. Poober

[@Krozic]

IT is High-lee-ans not Hill-e-ins lol.

[@yaboi_curagemayfield785]

☝️um actually….. 😂great vid

[@chrisrwalker93]

My thought is TOTK lore is actually BEFORE skyward sword. Imprisoning Demize, creating the mining robots, etc. There's still quite a bit of unexplored timeliness before Skyward Sword.

[@majimoo]

Yea, I think they should explore Demise as a villian more.
