Honestly, I couldn’t be happier that they introduced Rauru and Sonia. After seeing Zelda constantly get beaten down by her Father for “not trying hard enough”, she ended up meeting these two who gave her so much love and respect.

[@Irony-real]

Rauru was what Rhoam couldnt be.

[@britt6184]

Rhoam was feeling a lot of pressure about the Calamity prophecy. He hated treating Zelda like that but as King he had to put his love for his daughter aside for the future of Hyrule. It wasn't the best way to handle it and ultimately was in vain. It's really tragic.

I'm most familiar with Cherami from her roles as Mae from Shadows of Valentia, Rhea from Three Houses, and Makoto from Persona 5. She can do a pretty impressive array of voices, but I always recognize her cadence whenever I encounter a character she voices. This time it was easy due to the similarity of how she voiced Queen Sonia to Rhea.

They would have accepted Link as her boyfriend since the pair do lived together in his childhood home in present day Hateno Village. This is the most define Zelink moment!^^

So here's my understanding of the timeline based on what this game is giving us: -The Zelda from Skyward Sword goes to the surface and has kids, eventually reaching to her descendant, Sonia. -Sonia meets Rauru and the two found the Hyrule kingdom, becoming the first king and queen. -At some point, Rauru and Sonia get freaky off screen, starting their bloodline, which eventually reaches to BOTW Zelda. -At some point, Demise is reborn as the earliest known incarnation of the Gerudo king, Ganondorf, who plots to take over Hyrule. -Ganondorf approaches to Rauru and Sonia, declaring an allegiance, but they know he's full of shit. -Ganondorf manages to kill Sonia and take the Secret Stone, becoming the Demon King and amasses his army. -Rauru puts together the original Seven Sages and attempts to beat Ganondorf, kicking off the original Imprisoning War. -Rauru and the Sages die but not before Rauru manages to sacrifice himself to seal Ganondorf away. -Many years later, a new incarnation of Ganondorf is born and attempts to do the same thing in Ocarina of Time, this time seeking the Triforce. -This Ganondorf is either beaten by the Hero of Time or sealed away by the Seven Sages, kicking off the three respective timelines. Since then, Hyrule's foundation and the events that would follow since have long passed to the point that they're considered ancient myths and legends, up until BOTW Link and Zelda discover the mummified corpse of the original Ganondorf from that time, kicking off the events of TOTK.

My theory is that Sonia and Rauru *refounded* Hyrule after the timeline splits, since the imprisoning war takes place in the "hero is defeated" timeline.

@@homosapien7316 That can't be the case. The Imprisoning War can't be the same one that occurs in the Downfall timeline because in that one, Ganondorf is sealed away in the Dark World, until he manages to break free from the seal in A Link to the Past. But this game is saying he was sealed underneath Hyrule Castle and remained there for the next thousands of years until Link and Zelda discovered him underneath the castle.

For all we know, totk could be a million years after OOT and wind wakers great flood, the original zonai could've come down sometime after that, and then rauru/sonias founding of hyrule, God knows how long to the original calamity in botw's sheika prophecy, and then the further 10k years from that to botw. It feels the zelda team made these two games so aggressively far into the future, thar really the time before hand doesn't matter, because we don't know how much time happened in between totk and say skyward sword. We don't know the gazillion events that have probably happened from then to know. We don't even know anymore if they even existed, or whether this is a spin off timeline set off different events completely. This is probably going to be my only aggravation with this game. We asked nintendo to give us further timeline placement clues, and they said "who the fuck knows". It's still a 10/10 game figuring thar is legit my only real complaint

[@christianwalton7080]

​@@Elite02kI agree that I think they intended to send this so far into the future that the events of prior games are somewhat disconnected; that Hyrule had likely been disestablished then re-established by R&S, but these cutscenes also pose a weird dilemma for Zelda. 1. In BoTW the Hylians are aware of the Legends of the Sky, Time, and Twilight (see Link's ceremony for proof of that). 2. Where was the Master Sword in this past Hyrule? If this predates SS then Ganondorf predates Demise creating the dilemma of what his curse means. 3. Sonia mentions she senses a blood connection, yet we never see a child from them. Unless they've got an offscreen child, that'd kinda complicate the whole "Zelda is our descendant" thing. I suppose Nintendo may have answers that aren't in cutscenes that I'll be able to see when I get free from work, but as it is now these cutscenes are all I've got lol

[@StarzGecko]

@@christianwalton7080 I agree where is their child? If Zelda is really a descendant I would assume we see a little child running around 🧐

[@christianwalton7080]

@@StarzGecko I had thought about it some and they probably just have a child off screen, or Sonia had a sibling who inherited after she and Rauru passed away She is counted as a descendant because they're a part of the same clan (although the likelihood of that isn't exactly great). Although I thought about it and honestly this could work into the timeline well enough considering we're at minimum 10, 100 years from the sheikah sealing War, so I imagine that those events were probably at least a thousand years prior to that. Honestly the current day timeline is probably so far ahead of all prior games that history has been lost and later rediscovered.

Does the draconification mean the three dragons are the three goddesses immortal but lost? What does this mean???

[@hyliadreamer]

No one said the dragons WERE the Golden Goddesses; until that actually gets outright stated, there is no reason to assume. They are supposed to SERVE the Goddesses. Perhaps they were priestesses, or some other type of individual, who each served their respective Goddess, and the best way for them to do so was to become the dragons. Just as the Monks remained in their Shrines for thousands of years in order to test Link, that being the best way for them to serve Hylia.

Remember the franchise's lore: The Zonai and the ancient Hylians were supposed to be able to hear the messages of the gods, due to their much longer ears. It's possible that they could pick up on more subtle hints. Besides, it isn't as though Ganondorf's vibes WEREN'T particularly menacing. Zelda doesn't know yet that the man she and Link encountered below the castle is the same man who's claiming to swear fealty; she only has his name as a troubling hint. Ten thousand years is a LONG time. She couldn't be sure that they were one and the same just yet.

[@XxTaiMTxX]

Okay, so if I get this right: Ganondorf becomes so powerful that he infects the land with his "Gloom" (or Malice?). He infects one of the sages. Zelda decides, "We need to boost the power of the Master Sword, so I'll become a Dragon", and the other Zonai gal says "Yep, I'll do the same". If I got this right, infected Zonai gal turns into infected Dragon we save in the first Breath of the Wild? Which would possibly mean that the fire Dragon was the Goron who ate his stone too... and the electric Dragon might be the bird guy? Okay, but then they never truly stopped Ganon, so he just keeps creating monsters and attempts to take over the kingdom as he slumbers? So, with the Zonai gone, the "Sheikah" repurpose their technology and make the Guardians, presumably the towers, and even the secondary set of shrines to empower Link. But, Ganon figures out how the tech works and takes it over in Breath of the Wild... and does nothing with it. Presumably, because he isn't "free" yet. But, being trapped underground would likely explain why there are basically no caves in Hyrule in Breath of the Wild. The kingdom has likely been going around and sealing them whenever possible to keep Ganon trapped. Otherwise, the Gloom might sneak out and Ganon might find a way to escape. So, the entirety of Breath of the Wild was Link and Zelda just taking out Ganon's defenses. Ganon defending himself from future Link who could have the power to kill him permanently, as warned by Rauru. But, then... we show up, wake him up by accident, and he is surprised we're so weak? But.. how come not all the Zonai stuff ended up in the sky? How did the 3 temples to the Triforce pieces get made? Does this then bleed into Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past where we're talking about sages? How does Zelda even get born if Sonia died before ever having a child? What is Link's heritage? Obviously there wasn't a "Link" analogue in the time of the Zonai, so when did that come up?

[@mrthanos2404]

The sages never became dragons, they were still alive after Zelda turned herself into a dragon. As for the Mineru, we have yet to learn, at least I am not that far into the story yet. Naydra is unlikely to be Mineru, considering that neither makes plot sense nor fit her abilities. The dragons might be even before the sages or just incarnations of the 3 goddess’ powers

[@ultimateshadeofwar]

No, there are only 7 secret stones, 4 given to each tribe Gerudo, Goro, Rito and Zora, the King had one, the Queen another one and the sister of the King had the last. The stones enhances the power that any individual has naturally. For the Gerudo is lighting/thunder, Goro is Fire, Rito is wind, Zora is water. The King had Light/Sacred power, the Queen had time and the sister of the king had the power to manipulate her spirit. Zelda, who took the sacred stone of the King IN THE FUTURE, had Sacred power and time but the stone choose to bring out time (If i had to guess, it's because her sacred power is already max out and her time powers are weaker). Ganondorf stole the sacred stone of the queen which made it enhance his Malice powers. So there are 7 Stones, their powers just change depending on the user. Regarding Link, he is given a part of the power of each Sage after they are enhance by then, with exception of Zelda, Zelda is so overpower that she unconciously gives him a small part of her power.

TOTK seems to take place so long after the other games that Hyrule was founded a second time. This is very interesting, since we know there was history before the second founding of Hyrule. As we get multiple references to other games, especially Ocarina of Time, a game that also houses the kingdom of Hyrule, and a game which already had things well established before TOTK. My assumption is that so much time passed that Hyrulians began to forget about parts of the past, and began to start anew, which is why the characters in the past in this game look so ancient and old fashioned, although they come after games with characters that look more advanced than them. (Minus all the tech stuff.) With this, we can draw a conclusion that after some time passed, Hyrule began to start anew, which is how everything seemed to reset in a way. This reset also explains why Ganondorf's demon form resembles Demise so much. This game might be the furthest in the timeline, but it also tells the story of this duology's beginning. A beginning independent to that of Skyward Sword.
