Why the YIGA Will Win a Hyrule Civil War - Zelda Theory

Honestly, the Lookout tower is there to keep an eye on the castle and also a central position to coordinate things with all other civilizations. It is not a permanent settlement. They wouldn's outright abandon it, but considering how far it is from any other settlements, it would end up being just a lightly guarded outpost. Such a large population center like Hateno couldn't just be left unguarded.

[@zyenogaming2239]

@@BouncyBonBon One hypothetical I thought of that would probably result in the Yiga winning 10x easier is that since Yiga seem to be able to control monsters (or at least not get attacked by them), so if the yiga could just manage to get some king gleeoks to burn down all the settlements with lynels charging from below, then there’s literally nothing they could do.

Personally, I don't think the Yiga would laugh after teleporting if it was a serious situation where they needed to be stealthy (like a war), but hey, its not my video

[@zyenogaming2239]

Knowing how arrogant the yiga are (If you look at Master Kohga being so arrogant that he tries to take Link on his own rather than call the plenty of yiga waiting in the hideout), I fully believe they would probably keep doing this. Especially since even when they know they’re fighting Link, the hero who defeated their leader, they still laugh.

So happy i found another one of your videos, love seeing how things in hyrule are for an average Hylian.

[@dilshansworld495]

This video was very well researched and put together! I would also like to add that the yiga could probably infiltrate the neutral zone and use it to get into the high ranks to manimuplate the other civilizations! Like maybe hold a meeting for all the leaders just to surround the building with cannons and weapons to take them all down in one fell swoop!

[@carlós_butt]

Hi Dilshan!!!

[@BJGvideos]

Hm, the koroks present an intetesting dilemma. On the one hand, their leader is likely the only one of them that the majority of outsiders could even see. On the other hand, we've seen what happens if the Great Deku Tree is corrupted. But then, that knly seems to affect koroks in the immediate area, as Hestu (who we know is a solid fighter from Age of Calamity) and the others are unaffected. And it's unlikely that any of the Yiga would be pure of heart enough to be able to see the koroks at all. And despite being made of wood, koroks have no issue living in incredibly hot or otherwse dangerous environments. However they would likely also have the lowest damage outputs of everyone in the region, since Hestu is the only one who's more than a foot tall.

[@PixelFusionProductions]

You make a pretty compelling argument for how they might take down some of these settlements. The Gerudo really ought to patch up that wall... really. The Yiga's ability to disguise + teleport is pretty OP.

Hello there

[@TsarBomba69420]

Frankly the Gorons would literally be perfect for raiding the Yiga Hideout, if the hideout is still the main base the Gorons could just take the arrows and probably only be harmed by the blademasters. Who seem in little supply. Even 1 goron would be able to fight a really large amount of Yiga. Also, buy this point in the games timeline, does Hyrule even currently have a government structure? (If the depths are open but Kohga is missing). And wouldn't Purah effectively be the one in charge of whatever military and political structure left in Hyrule. Then finally, all the Yiga would have to do to cripple the Hylians is destroy Hateno village, since that is presumably where most of the food comes from. There is no other large settlement since Lookout Landing is a pop up fortification, Lurelin is exclusively civilian (and not that important) and Kakariko is probably already out. The Yiga also aren't taking all this land, they are killing the rulers and civilians. They have no way to keep all of this land under control, especially considering the amount of losses they would have taken out of their 70 ish people.

[@youraveragehylian]

Focusing on Hateno to destroy the food supply is a brilliant move. I suppose the same could be said about the Zora, since Hyrule's waters originate from the Domain. I agree- the Gorons would have the best chance against the Yiga, since they would be most likely to break into the hideout, and then withstand the incoming arrows. Good points!

[@TsarBomba69420]

@youraveragehylian I also forgot to mention, these are obviously one scenario because I guess there is lots of other ways for it to play out. Like you said.

Amazing video bro, one thing, towns will not let “tourists” inside of them during a civil war across their world, the only people yiga can transform into are hylians from what we can see and in an all out civil war, no nation would let tourists from their enemies in their capital, and “tourists” will not travel during a civil war. Other than that great video!

[@thermophile1695]

Out of all these, the Goron battle is the biggest stretch. Goron resilience extends to even explosions, and lighing up some bombs in the city will kill a few and enrage the rest.

[@yourface123face9b]

new video idea. what if all of the Hylian nations teamed up to fight link, would he win, or would he be overwhelmed by the sheer number of his opponents. rules: link doesnt get sage ability's or auto-build, the sages are as op as they are before link shows up. or how link could beat every nation one by one

If the Yiga were defeated, the Rito would probably win simply by staying in their village. They can fly to get supplies easily, and their village is extremely difficult to acces with various ambush locations. Hebra is full of animals that the Rito can hunt, and there are several water sources nearby. The Rito can also fly upward from their village and rain down arrows on the invaders(using wood from Tabantha, they could produce a lot of arrows), while anyone on the other side would have almost no cover. However, the win is not guaranteed, as they could be attacked by Shiekah Zonai devices or their poor night vision could be exploited to take their base without much opposition until the base has been infiltrated.

[@volgaskeep1237]

I have to wonder how they would get their troops into position to attack zoras domain? above ground is obviously not an option, and there are only three chasms that would easily allow them to attack the zora: the Mishi woods, East Akkala and Under Zora's domain chasms. The one under Zora's domain wouldn't work for this exact plan cause it's inside the village. In east Akkala I doubt hudson and friends would be happy to have an army go through their lands. Leaving Mishi woods chasm which is under the kokiri another unlikely path to Zora domain's outerwalls.

[@theecuadorables6321]

Y’know now that I think abt it, I heard that the yiga also know how to not get sick from gloom too! (How do I know this? Well- hate to admit it- but I’ve got a cousin who joined the yiga and likes to brag) TvT

[@Cyn_likes_corpses]

How to defeat: The rito, explode the top of their peak, it crumbles, they die. The zora, make the giant fish statue fall, they die. The gerudo, make their springs fall, no water, most of the central town wi be crushed. The gorons, explode the rocks with the faces of their great warriors, they most likely will suffer non négligeable damage

[@youraveragehylian]

Lol Step 1: crush Step 2: win

[@Cyn_likes_corpses]

@@youraveragehylian exactly

[@ZiptoZapto]

HOnestly, if the Yiga had an actually competent leader, they could manipulate the rest of Hyrule to take each other out, then rise from the depths to pick off the remaining stragglers. But we know that would never happen without a change of management so... Guess we can consider ourselves lucky that these folks are stupidly loyal.

[@JosephShemelewski]

The problem with any 1 side getting absolute victory is their military and supply lines being spread too thin to effectively hold all that land

[@Ahbutcocnut]

The Yiga wouldn't have to attack Gerudo City. They could attack the gerudo bazar and lure them out or just wait them out as the gerudo don't seem to be able to withstand the desert heat that well. Also the Yiga seem good at kidnapping soldiers so the safest approach probably be waiting the gerudo out.

[@AlmyTheAlien]

*Is* health equal to a blue bokoblin necessarily weak? Sure they're no problem for Link or a Champion/Sage, but we've seen that even much weaker red bokoblins can still be a threat to experienced Hylian travelers with swords and shields and light textile armor, while themselves being butt naked and usually just armed with a tree branch. Blues are probably at LEAST an equal to a highly trained and well equipped soldier of most races.

You forget that the yoga have a base right underneath rito village in thaw chasm, where the final kings fight takes place. It may be cut off from the rest of the depths but the presence of kohga means they have access inside. Thus the yiga could sneak attack from within the village taking them all hostage in an almost bloodless fight. This all applies to the zora as well since they also have a chasm behind the waterfall which the domain sits on.

`13:35 I'd have to disagree with her decision. She'd refuse the order to surrender for the following reason: She knows that they'd be killed anyways. Do you really think that the Yiga would follow through on a promise to spare anyone? I would think that they have no reason to if she did surrender. They'd execute the combatants before killing the hostages. Maybe it's just my paranoia talking, but I don't have high opinions of promises by people who I don't trust.

So for me I could see Tarrey Town acting as a "Netural safe zone for refugees and orphans of the war" IE they accept anyone coming to Tarrey town in peace with The surrounding area I would include is everything North of tarrey town (Draw a line from Tarrey Town bridge to the sea and Eastern Death Mountain) Everything North is considered Tarrey Town territory and a no violence zone. Residents coming to this area to live must agree to 4 main rules. 1 No weapons. All weapons u had to protect urself on ur journey MUST be handed over to the Mayor and stored for protection (in case of invasion/monsters). 2 No fighting between races. If a dispute breaks out BOTH parties will be banned from Tarrey Town no matter who started it. If its a situation where its an assaination attempt/murder attempt the victim will be "on probation" for a period of 1 month. the perp is immediately executed. If its a situation where the victim didn't fight back then they are considered safe but perp is banished. 3 No assisting the war in any way including propaganda both verbal and written. The Akkala tech lab that is in Tarrey Town territory is dismantled and used as a hospital. No war tech is allowed to be developed at the tech lab including sheikah tech. 4 Due to the no assiting the war rule all mail in and out of Tarrey is to be searched and read to make sure its not war related edxcept reporting the results of the war. For example Rito town falls to Yiga millions killed is allowed. Please send funds to support rito villagers is not allowed because its sending money to a warzone thus supporting the war. If asked for funds for refugees a delgation will be sent to bring the refugees to Tarrey Town. If that delegation doesn't return Within a month or send word its considered a false claim and any claims from said area will be ignored and discarded. To help With travel the Tarrey town has its own flag which is a Dove with a palm branch in its beak as a symbol of peace.

Why? Their pride. They're a strong warrior culture meaning the daughters (since the Gerudo are all female) would've inherited that same mentality and would gladly give their life for the survival of Gerudo.

I like these hypothetical scenario videos, but it seems to me you have a major flaw in your explanation of how the Yiga defeat the Gorons. You clarify in the previous segment that the scenario is a civil war of every nation against every other. If that's the case, then the Gorons, despite their good nature, would be waging war on all other nations, and would not be allowing Hylian tourists to enter their lands. I can forgive that solution for the Gerudo since they were the first target and they could have stationed them before the civil war broke out. But not so for the Gorons.
