[@stolenhero6650]

hey, help me out here I have a personal theory, remember the clicker game of hyrule warriors where all the timelines ended up connecting in some way or form - what if this is the end of that situation just like how in the game you could see big open worlds as scrolling through the map screen what if this is the remnants of this? the clashing of all the worlds together meshing up creating a new but old super hyrule? with ancient things but yet the super futuristic tech like electricity from spirit tracks? is that where this lyes? in a fourth timeline?

here is something, andre, that you missed. at 29:24, the 4 picutures of the monks you provided clearly show that their hands form the triforce. 3 have hand positions of triangles facing up and 1 facing down

[@kattack8200]

@@horatio7746 nop

[@Rulytasho]

okay I'm at minute 30 where you're talking about the monks, so maybe you discuss this later on the video, but I gotta say... something seems curios, The monks have their hands in a different positions, like you said, and they have the position of the triforce, one on the top and two on the side, but then there's the forth one which is a triangle pointing down, this is obviously representing the triangle that forms in the center of the triforce once they are put together, but what does this mean? could it be that there's a forth element on the triforce besides Power, Wisdom and Courage?

[@game-enjoyer13]

that, my good friends, is a ****ing amazing theory. I'm actually happy to read that. I applaud you

[@landonstrouse8977]

This theory is amazing, it would change everything!!!!!!!

[@powergannon]

Who knows. It could also relate to the ancient tribe in the backstory of Majora's Mask who turned their backs on the godesses. The Ikana temple is full of upside down Triforces.

[@lrc4263]

This is not a new theory at all. It's called the "tetraforce theory" and it has been around for roughly 20 years, and has been debunked MANY times by theorists and by Nintendo themselves.

[@mohammadbanna5720]

could be passed down by Midna's people

[@bernardmcawesome6032]

My theory is that the game is a sequel to Skyward Sword, for quite a few reasons. - In BotW, Link wakes up in a "Shrine of Resurrection" where he was probably hidden in when Calamity Ganon took over - Calamity Ganon would be the first chronological appearance of Ganon, which makes sense as when you see him trapped in Hyrule Castle, he doesn't seem to have a body - Part of my theory is that the Great Plateau is actually Skyloft, that has come down into Hyrule - Also, Hyrule Castle is located very far away from the ruins of the Temple of Time, if this game is supposed to be anywhere after Ocarina of Time, they should be closer - I think that by the end of the game, the castle will have been destroyed, so they rebuild it closer to the Temple of Time - BotW Link resembles Skyward Sword Link more than any of the others - Link in this game is right handed and the only other Link who is also chronologically right handed is Skyward Sword Link - If you paid attention to the text, the goddess Hylia is mentioned several times, the goddess has only been mentioned in one other game, Skyward Sword To summarize, I believe that this game takes place approximately one hundred years after the end of Skyward Sword, and during that century, Calamity Ganon appeared, started destroying the very new Hyrule, and forced Link into a cryogenic rest for reasons unknown. Also, I think the voice at the start of the game is the new Zelda, who is descendant of the Skyward Sword Zelda. Tell me what you think of my theory!

[@c_cyte]

I think it plays after Skyward Sword too. And I actually think that the Korok Form is the originally form of the Kokiris. In BotW you randomly find them and they give you seeds. What if you all plant them in one hole and the Deku Tree will grow out of them? Obviously he grows at Minish Cap and Four Swords and takes finally place in Ocarina of Time where he is near death. Maybe the Deku Tree creates the Kokiri Forest, put a young Link in it and gathered all Koroks to protect him and let him grow up with actuall friends. So the Deku Tree transformed the Koroks into the Kokiris. And thats why the Kokiris never been seen ever again. Just because they have changed their forms back to the Koroks after OoT. Just my personal thinking why the Koroks could be in BotW. I really like your theory especially the point that Link is right handed and literally must be the successor of the previous Link in Skyward Sword. Perhaps he is the same one ... (And sorry if I mispronounced stuff or just created complete nonsense xD Im german and Im still learning)

[@bernardmcawesome6032]

TeeeBeutel ³ An idea I had about the Kooks and the Kokiri is that maybe the Great Deku tree made them look like "humans" so OoT Link wouldn't feel out of place.

[@c_cyte]

+Bernard McAwesome Yeah but what about Saria? She is still a "human" after the death of the Great Deku Tree. Maybe she can transform herself and thats why the other Kokiris ended up being Koroks again after the Great Deku Tree died. Or maybe Saria is actually a real human ... no one knows Dx

[@illuvitarv5]

you are probably right as for his stasis maybe the spirit of the master sword sensing Ganon returning teleported link who may have been old at the time or even dead to the chamber and resurrect him to battle Ganon

[@boardguy2]

remember when demise placed the curse they didn't know that they will be reincarnated as well. so as a safety precaution. link probably at one point in time volunteered or agreed to do this. there is also the available tech in the skyward sword in which they can reverse engineer or was tought to create and at one point they made the kingdom to the way it was. plus we don't even know legend of hero as we know it exists yet . there are a lot of holes that still.

[@SOLIDShift_VI]

Love it! A few notes:: •Horses travel in herds not packs•Pigs and boars have tusks not horns•Links eyes and jewelry have always been blue•No where in Wind Waker does it state the Koroks evolved from the Kokiri -- the line goes something like the following:: "When the Kokiri came to live on the sea, they took on these forms."Highly suggesting they can indeed just change shape depending on the environment or situation. Where are theorists getting te evolution thing from?

[@rarm5899]

SOLID Shift Because that wording isn't very clear. It doesn't outright say evolution but it also doesn't outright say that it isn't and that they just change forms.

[@SOLIDShift_VI]

Nicktendo 1 Uhh -- yeah exactly. But without the key word 'evolution' the fact that people keep using it seems -- forced. A forced perspective of that form and their progression from Kokiri.

[@andrewallred6954]

+Highlites You're an idiot. Do some research.

[@Kahadi]

+Link's AMV. It's also likely that though referred to as Wolf Link, it isn't actually the Link from Twilight Princess in his wolf form. It's more likely just a wolf meant to look the same, possibly even the original and living form of the spirit wolf that guides Link to the Hero's Shade in Twilight Princess, assuming it's another element from a different timeline that still exists there like the Koroks

[@silverkyre]

+tubefan90000 That Golden Wolf that guides Link, IS the Hero's Shade in wolf form. So that would make him OOT Link in wolf form

[@Kahadi]

Amelle Kyre First off, there's never been any confirmation that the Hero's Shade is OoT Link. Secondly, there's still the question of where that comes from, since TP Link is the only one capable of transforming into a wolf. Finally, my main point was just that its far more likely the "Wolf Link" that can be brought into BotW is, lore-wise, just a random wolf and not TP Link in wolf form.

[@goldliger2999]

The right handed can be explained with Amnesia. In rare cases some people with amnesia are dominate opposite of what they were before. So Link being right handed can be explained away using his Amnesia. Also another thing in the official Hyrule Historia it tells a tale of a Hero that wielded the Master Sword who was a Knight of Hyrule that REAPPEARED within the ranks. And this Hero was the one that help seal Ganon back into the Sacred Realm. Ganon escaped the Sacred Realm after the Sages and Zelda sealed him away because of greedy people who learned about the existence of the Triforce. They broke the seal and Ganon escaped. This game might take place 100 years after that escaped after Zelda herself SEALED Ganon within the new Hyrule Castle(as we know the old one was destroyed by Ganon). Plus the Link from A Link to the Past is a descendant of the one that can wield the Master Sword. So remember that the Master Sword in A Link to the Past was in good condition and not the condition BotW shows us that it is currently in. So in this game you find the sword and restore it back to full power than use it to seal Ganon in the Sacred/Dark Realm once and for all(until at least the events of A Link to the Past). So GameXplain you can see how the sealing war is the best place to put this game in. Hopefully you mention my name in your next analysis lol.

[@goldliger2999]

Also a link(pun intended lol) to a story about how someone with memory loss or amnesia can switch dominant hands. theconcussionblog.com/2011/02/24/memory-loss-and-switiching-dominant-hands/

[@Xaasrevile]

makes you look like a loser when you ask to have your name in a video.

[@Apollo_077]

But the Link in Ocarina of Time had the Triforce symbol on his left hand. Also his hair is orange in contrast to Blonde from Oot. Perhaps this Link we see in Botw is the child of Oot's Link. A potential partner would've been Malon as there was a sort of love interest between the two, as Malon's hair was orange and could've dominated the genes with her hair color.

[@phxrebirth]

+Xaasrevile It should be common courtesy to mention whoever's name you got a source from.

[@highlites132]

No one has mention not even Andre nor Derrick, where Wolf link is shown. How those Wolf link fit in the time line?

[@Chipzah0i]

If you overlay the position of the monks' hands, they create a triforce shape. One is holding his hands higher and centered, two are lower and to the left or right, one is centered and upside down. You can see it at 29:22

[@Chipzah0i]

It also looks like the ones with the cloth over their faces have a similar pattern. The other two for that region probably finish off the shape

[@isaacthompson9025]

Dude! That is really cool! :D

[@silverkyre]

Wow nice detail!!

[@havens1515]

To add to the discussion around the monks (which starts around 29:30), each monk seems to represent a different part of the triforce. They each have their hands in the shape of a triangle, but the position of their hands relative to their body is different. One is positioned at the top of his chest, directly under his chin, another is lower near the stomach on the left, another near the stomach on the right. These 3 seem to represent the 3 parts of the triforce. The final monk's hands are in an upside-down triangle near the center of the stomach, representing the empty center of the triforce.

[@skyletoft]

The woman is Zelda and the old man is the king of Hyrule. This is confirmed by the music, being Zelda's lullaby when she speaks at the top of the tower and Farewell Hyrule King/Hyrule Castle when the old man comes flying in with the glider when Link gets down from said tower. This was found by Commonwealth Realm by the way

[@in0lasc0]

Well...yeah, that seems to be the case with Zelda. The real question is, though, what happened to her? After all, Hyrule is already in ruins. Is she dead? Is she a spirit? Is she part of a centenary seal?

[@Quemiibo]

Watching/listening to this after it released makes me want to start it all up again! Your passion for guessing what certain things meant in the game is infectious.

[@KimsLantern]

That large rock in the formation atop Mount Hylia literally looks like the amber colored cocoon that Zelda herself slept in in Skyward Sword.

[@pachie0]

why would she be on top of a Mountain?

What do you think the goddess statues will do???

[@XadexSquared]

This was definitely worth the wait. I don't think anyone has come even close to figuring out some of the stuff you guys did. And even with all the different theories I've seen on this stuff, I don't think you guys missed pointing out something that someone else had. Can't wait for this game to come out so we can all play it, and hopefully prove all your amazing ideas right.

[@silverkyre]

You can hear Zelda's Lullaby when the pics that is presumably her talks to Link on the Resurrection tower.....

[@Hazy18]

I don't care what timeline BoTW takes place in, I just want to play the damn thing now!! But I do disagree that the Downfall Timeline is the only timeline in which it could fall Just because the Bridge that could be either the Great Bridge of Hylia or Eldin Bridge from TP is more repaired doesn't disregard the Child Timeline, we don't know where this game could actually take place if it was in the Child timeline, meaning that it's highly plausible for the bridge to have been repaired again before calamity Ganon struck Hyrule. Another thing is the Master Sword being rusty and look unused.. A lot of people seem to forget that 4 Swords Adventures takes place after TP in the Child Timeline and during that time the master Sword wasn't used, the 4 Sword from MC was, the game is also said to have taken place several hundred years after TP, meaning that the Master sword hadn't been used in nearly 1000 years or less

[@Hazy18]

Also the Korok from Kokiri idea you applied to the Downfall Timeline can also be used for the Child timeline too Because the Hylians destroyed their frosted and built Ordon over it the Kokiri could have changed for to the Koroks to escape them and if you look at the Koroks you will see they are highly suited to being camouflaged in a forest due to their body colours and being able to fly to escape enemies or Hylians Also for more of a reason it could be on the Child Timeline is that Ganon also appeared after TP in 4SA and then was sealed, not killed, alongside Vaati in the 4Sword and also Wolf Link appearing in the game gives it even more of a reason to be in the Child Timeline because although it may not be the actual Wolf Link but some kind of hologram or representation of him made by the Sheikah Slate would mean that Wolf Link would have had to have appeared in the timeline BoTW is in before otherwise it would be like summoning a Rito to appear in a time they never existed in

[@Hazy18]

+Link95 Also with the several hundred years that went by after TP could mean that the already crumbling, decaying and nearly non existent Temple of Time ruins could have completely disappeared and that could be why the Master Sword is on a Forest location, also the ground around the Master Sword in BoTW looks like an ancient floor and pedestal that it's sitting, which looks very similar to the pedestal and steps in the ancient TP temple of time ruins

[@kennethzheng3735]

Decline of Hyrule? Which one has that? HMMMM, I WONDER... Decline of Hyrule/Last Hero. No, Adult timeline doesn't count because it's not a decline, it just gets flooded, then everything is normal then fight, blah blah, next game isn't even in Hyrule (ST has Hyrule but it's more of new Hyrule). Plus, the Child Era doesn't ever have a decline in that timeline. The ruins are also in Decline too, where is the Master Sword in ALttP?

[@Hazy18]

+ZeldaGamer08 As I already said, I really don't care which timeline BoTW takes place in as the timelines aren't even correct, they were sloppily made to please fans that wanted one, which is why they all have consistent errors because the timelines were made for a bunch of games that weren't meant to have one. As for the decline of Hyrule 👏🏻 well done! You, like many others including myself, have remembered that the Downfall Timeline has a decline in Hyrule.. And what? That doesn't mean any other games can't have one 😂 If the fact that Hyrule is in decline is the only thing you're going off of to say it CAN'T be in the child timeline then how do you make up for the fact that the game has Koroks from the adult Timeline, Wolf Link from the child, a replica of the Statue of the Goddess from the Unified timeline and many other Landmarks in the game that point to every timeline not just one? There's also the fact that Eiji Aonuma stated that while we play BoTW we'll have some "oh I see moments" that will make us want to go back and play TP again. As I've already stated, I really don't care which timeline the game takes place in because it doesn't matter to me, it doesn't take anything away from the franchise for me like it does to others, I was merely pointing out that there's a lot to point to it being in the Child timeline as well as the Downfall and there is also a lot that points to it being in the Unified timeline as well. Oh and I wasn't going to say anything about the Adult timeline at all but you're right it is "more of a new Hyrule" considering that's what it's called.. New Hyrule, because it was founded by Tetra and Link and renamed after the original Hyrule :)

[@kennethzheng3735]

[@JoeRepp]

Holy crap this is amazing.

[@ShyGamerMaile]

Really interesting points you made in this video! It was fascinating to listen to you guys speculate about the timeline as well as cover all the details from E3. It looks like we're really gearing up for an exciting new Zelda experience next year! As someone who LOVES Zelda timeline theory, I've researched to try to get an indication of where BotW sits. I thought it might be fun to share a few tidbits I've found myself after listening to other's theories and researching: -The presence of Koroks doesn't necessarily point to the Adult timeline. I've heard a lot of Zelda theorists say that the Koroks didn't necessarily evolve as a result of the Great Sea rising, but are instead the Kokiri reverting to their natural existence as forest sprites. They chose to assume child form in order for OoT Link to feel more at ease being raised among them. Therefore, Koroks can exist in any timeline, since they are not an evolution, but a deliberate transformation. -The voice is most likely Zelda since, as the light shines from the castle and through the darkness, you can hear a broken, melancholy version of Zelda's lullaby for a brief moment. It's possible that she is acting as the seal holding Ganon in, as you guys hypothesized in this video. -There's a theory going around that the Great Plateau is actually the ruins Hyrule Castle Town, since certain landmarks within the plateau's ruins match eerily well with Ocarina of Time's structures--from the great stone gates just out of Hyrule Castle, to the remains of the cobblestone roads from the heart of the town, to the foundation of old Hyrule Castle. Great job on the video, and I'm looking forward to watching more in the future. Thanks so much for taking the time to put everything together :)

[@jojora6417]

What if the Old Man is groose? Same body type. Similar facial features. Plus,after Skyward Sword Groose became friends with Link. This would also support BOTW connection with Skyward Sword

[@thejaeger_]

Oh my jezuz. You are a genius

[@RayKosen3000]

so he lived longer than 100 years?

[@jojora6417]

[@turbo_jake]

“He may not be able to climb up those pillars” Me: he might not climb them but he can hop his way up waiting for revalis gale to recharge. I did that. It took forever I regret it.

[@the_actual_lauren]

Have you considered that Zelda BotW could take place in the events leading up to Wind Waker? The "Breath of the Wild" could refer to the great flood that may lead to Wind Waker. Perhaps this game could lead to another timeline split. If Link does defeat Ganon, then the Great Flood doesn't happen. If Link doesn't defeat Ganon, then the King of Hyrule uses the Triforce to seal Ganon under the ocean. Also, the old man could be the king of Hyrule, living in exile. In Wind Waker, he appeared as a spirit because of his regret and unfinished duty, so this game could go into more detail on that. The sheikah towers and magic-powered technology and stuff kind of reminds me of the Tower of the Gods from Wind Waker.

[@m.hoiseth6796]

Thank you all for the hard work you put in to this! It's really soothing to have a two hour video about Zelda in the background while waiting for a better day to come!

[@samiam7637]

[@gazdenroolay]

They need to make a game explaining more about the ancient robots from skyward sword, that was my favorite part about Skyward Sword.

[@caasinosral8748]

[@MADIJARU]

2:30 Do anyone know the soundtrack in background?

[@Vyz3r]

It's Fi's Theme from Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

[@MarvinManio]

A soundtrack is all of the songs in a game or movie etc.

[@Vyz3r]

manio False. A soundtrack or sound track is just a piece of audio recording for a medium. If you're going for the whole music composed in a certain medium, that would be soundtracks (with an s) or soundtrack album.

[@MarvinManio]

Vyz3r Omg you sound like you are sure about that. Ive been wondering that for years I wasnt sure can you verify with sources anyhow?

[@Vyz3r]

manio Why do you need a source? The word itself tells you what it is-- "sound" is the audio and "track" is the recording of that audio. If you really want a source, google the word.

[@jenniferchough]

Wow, I am SUPER impressed by all the data you were able to glean from sources made available at the time! Obviously, there were some incorrect assertions/guesses, but you guys made an alarming number of correct conclusions based on the knowledge you had, especially the triangulation on the map for several landmarks, especially the towers. Good job, guys!

[@Brandon-ms9ev]

Here's an idea, the place Link wakes up is a cloning station. At some point in the past he died, but someone thought he would still be needed in the future so they took his body (or whatever is left of it) there to be cloned. This would in a way be a "resurrection," and would also explain why when you wake up you don't know anything. Could also be used to explain away saving. Every time you die a new clone is sent to your last save point, given the same things as the last clone and set loose (though I admit there are holes in that part of this idea). Though in that case it would really make it a nightmare to whoever you are fighting against. Can you imagine it? A dude breaks into your home intent on killing you. After an intense battle, you manage to defend yourself by killing him, just to have someone who looks exactly like him break in and come marching through your door, then another, and another. An endless stream of people who look exactly alike follow, all intent on finishing what the first one started, unrelenting, until they finally put you in the ground.

[@dreadGodshand]

this game takes place before wind waker. it takes place after the hero disappears and before the flood. everyone seems to think it all happened at the same time! but seriously, what makes you think it all was flood instantly after ganon returned? that doesn't even make sense. hyrule has soldiers. you mean they didn't at least try to fend him off? heck after link died in the decline timelime, the mages could banish Gannon. so obviously they had power. so it's obvious after the hero disappears and ganon returns, the mages trapped him in the castle for a 100 years. and then link was resurrected to fight him. and yes, you may say well, the hero wasn't there when it was flooded. but what makes you think gannon doesn't return yet again unopposed? it wouldn't be the first or 10th time gannon returned. you all assume that right after ocarina of time is when he returned unopposed and the flood happened. why? that could easily be centuries later. so, stop guessing and look at the facts: the same exact temple of time that was ONLY in ocarina of time is in breath of the wild. so that makes it take place AFTER oot. and the koroks were only in wind waker. so it obviously takes place before ww. it can't be after at all because at the end of ww, king Daphne wished for hyrule to be completely gone. to wash it away completely and start anew. so the temple of time wouldn't exist anymore after ww. and the great bridge from tp is NOT the same bridge in botw. look at it. it looks similar but not it. which makes sense considering it's a DIFFERENT timeline altogether. so that looking similar but different is exactly how the did four swords adventures. making that game very similar to a link to the past but a completely different game. to hint at it being a different timeline. so yes, I'm not guessing or hoping. because personally, i would LOVE this game to take place after zelda 2 to explore that more. but the evidence proves otherwise.

[@ethanbstarkey]

I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS ALL ALONG. The only way to defeat calamity ganon is for King Daphnes to wish that Hyrule be flooded. Reference the misplaced hyrule castle in WW. No castle town around it, isolated nestled in mountains, with Ganandorf's tower directly behind it. BoTW will end with the great flood.

[@the_actual_lauren]

I agree. Everyone is blind.

[@dreadGodshand]

+Ethan Starkey lol i know, it's like everyone dismisses the end of ww to prove their point. completely ignoring the end of the game. i don't know if the great flood will happen in this game or after this game. it coukd very easily be at the end of botw. but it could also be easily after the game and still before ww. on another note, i would love to get a zelda game that ends with link dying at the hands of gannon. :) imagine the surprise and tears of gamers when you are surprised with an emotional ending to tie it into a link to the past. :)

[@dreadGodshand]

+Jason Shea yes. but that's my point. link has been asleep for 100 years. that time period is when gannon came back unopposed. the flood happend later. not right after.

[@dreadGodshand]

+Jason Shea because i believe there was a big time span between link disappearing and the flood. the flood still happened. but parts of the story surrounding it is still missing.

[@aidend0]

Very interesting watching this before tears of the kingdom releases.

[@netweed09]

Noticed that this Title, for all it's ''wind waker'' style references actually shares the most with of all things, TP. Of course, like 1000 times improved and better but it's there all the same for people to see. The distinct cut off ice area, the desert area, the besieged (cut-off) Hyrule castle bang in the center of the map, the emphasis on traversing by Horseback, more elborate horseback battles, lake hylia and bridge, floating City(?) in the sky, the initial area you can 1st hunt in even looking a bit like Faron woods in parts are all related.. But there are *many* differences and even more improvements. And I really like the skull (aka, Team skull) references. For the older Zelda fans, it brings the oldskool memories right back and (may) be strongest hint yet at no Ganondorf but only forms of oldskool pig Ganon and obsession with skulls. There's even a proper Skull island.

[@sonario6489]
