Zelda Theory: The Multiverse and the Timeline | Gnoggin

The Legend of Zelda is split into 3 timelines, but then where do Termina and Lorule fit into the picture? When did those parallel universes split off? Space-time is complicated, so this is Lorule explained, this is Termina explained, this is the Zelda Multiverse explained.

[@samuelemmert5136]

There is actually An explanation that makes all of the timelines fit into one "universe". Basically, the hero of time was defeated, but by that spell Gannondorf casts at him towards the beginning of the game. The hero is defeated timeline happens, but at the end of a link to the past, Link makes a wish to undo all of gannon's evil. since one of those evils was killing the hero of time, link is revived, but for some reason, 8 years later, causing a new timeline to be born. He defeats Gannon and is sent back in time which causes ANOTHER split. This also explains why their was "an age without a hero" as the hero of twilight gets killed, as he has no hero of time stalfos to teach him some of the still he needs, because the hero of time simply didn't exist in that dimension, as he was sent away by Zelda. The "age without a hero" had a hero, but he died. that's why Hyrule had to be flooded, yada yada yada, and you have Windwaker to explain the rest. Thank you for reading this, this is my first full theory. As for Lorule and Termina,, you nailed it!

But since this is a fantasy game, anything is possible.

[@coolchrisable]

they are strong independent deities who don need no realm XD

[@Mudkip971]

Here is how *I* understood things and think how it is: -The "Child" and "Adult Timelines" are two *Timelines* existing in *Universe A* -The "Declined Timeline" is not really a timeline but mostly it's own universe with only one timeline so far. Lets call it *Universe B* -Lorule, Hyrule, Sacred Realm/Dark world, Termina and the Twlight Realm are *Worlds* existing within *Universe A* and *Universe B* Lorule is not a Universe it's a parallel world existing in the same universe as Hyrule from ALBW. If Lorule would be visited in in Universe A (depending on the Timeline) than it would mimic that Hyrule (with the opposites that differentiates the two World). For example Wind Waker Link somehow goes to Lorule and sees that the sea did not engulf the land.

[@KazeMemaryu]

That was pretty thorough, but I believe there's one very small notion you glossed over. Demise wanted the Triforce to rule the land, yes, but he also vowed revenge against Zelda and Link. This vow, forged by hatred and darkness, created the recurring prophecy of darkness (Ganondorf/Demise) threatening Hyrule (Zelda), and only the hero of legend (Link) being able to wield the sacred sword of the goddesses to oppose this darkness. It was part power-thirsty tyrant, part personal agenda, that created Ganon in the first place as Twinrova repeatedly summoned Demise from the darkness. That creates a small inconsistency with the Majora's Mask theory you set up, which is that Demise would still thirst for revenge against Link and Zelda, and consecutively return of his own accord eventually to claim the land as his, own, whether it's calling itself Hyrule, Termina, or Miami, and then seek out the latest version of the legendary hero to kill him. Also, Multiverse canon is the worst canon. It degenerated Pokémon into a cheap joke, made Dragonball a ridiculous mess, and it's by far the laziest plot device to forego coherent writing and acknowledging previous miatakes in establishing a universe.

[@Chaos89P]

I read somewhere (and it might not be canon anymore) that Termina was accidentally made, that when the goddesses breathed life into Hyrule some of their breath entered a crack in space-time creating Termina. I could also theorize that since the Terminians KNEW they were an accident, that they would blaspheme the goddesses and subsequently the Triforce.

[@cullenlatham2366]

Another theory i enjoy that connects to the termina difference has to do with the dark interlopers and ancient hexing tribe of Majora's mask. Theories about design of their relics and both being regarded as "dark" connect the two as one group that eventually become the twili (by canon lore). So i propose that in the child timeline, the goddesses intervene when the interlopers attempt to control the triforce, with the fuzed shadow being their attempt to transform and control the triforce. But the multiverse theory also suggests a timeline where the interlopers succeed in controlling and destroying/transforming the triforce before perishing for an unknown reason (possibly the goddesses intervening too late to stop the process but can stop the interlopers). The stone tower temple was their ritual grounds, hence the triforce blasphemy. The goddesses had a soft spot for the triforce and could not bring themselves to destroy an alternate form of it, so it was instead hidden within the ruins of the ritual grounds before the happy mask salesman came across it and chose to "protect" it leading to the events of MM. With the mask gone, the world found peace and grew to choose new deities (giants) and let technology advance. At some point, rumors of majora's mask began to surface and led to the creation, possibly with the help of the mask salesman who has inter-dimensional powers still to be defined, of a mask of their ultimate deity that they credit with the creation of the universe and the giants in an attempt to combat the possible threat majora's mask poses on their universe. This is the termina that link falls into from within the lost woods, though we still dont know how he returned to his universe to become shade from TP.

Playing from the villians perspective is an interesting concept that should be encouraged and explored.

[@supersaiyandrgnslayr]

There's a difference between Worlds and Universes; just to make it more complicated both Lorule and Hyrule can exist in the same Universe but in different dimensions from each other. You didn't take that into account at all

[@Gamer1288]

The Legend of Hilda would make an Interesting spin-off series. Also the Triforce is golden to represent that it is made from the powers of the three GOLDEN Goddess. Also It is possible that the Goddesses made a different goddess watch over the Triforce in what would eventually become Lorule instead of Hylia. Likely someone with "Lo" in their name to symbolize the different goddess that was worshiped. A Black Triforce would likely either be demonic instead of Holy or have required Three BLACK goddesses to create it.

[@PandaXclone2]

**Imagines an alternate universe in reality where Shiggy made The Legend of Hilda**

[@TheFoolishSamurai]

Perhaps it isn't the decision that creates an alternate universe, but rather EVERY alternate timeline already exists that each have some minor change preset across their complete timelines.

Somewhere over the rainbow there is a Hyrule with a sideways purple triforce made of cookies, everyone only eats pie and the major industry is baking. An incarnation of Demise has been reborn as Ganondorf. He wants to obtain the cookie of power, full of chocolate chips. Link must face off against him in the annual baking tournament. Zelda gets prepared to judge when it starts to rain jelly. This is OBVIOUSLY a MAJOR timeline, in which the golden- no- the purple goddesses decide to create the world differently. I MEAN, WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO LIVE HERE!

15:00 Ah, so I see that Superman's plan succeeded The joke is that on AT4W there's a running gag about how Superman wants to prevent wars in order to make humanity develop their space travel faster so he can get back home.

What if it’s already happened... even as far back as Skyward Sword!!!! Let me explain: Demise was said to have come out of a crack from the earth, and as we can see he has an upside down triforce on his sword. No I’m not saying he’s lorulian, I’m saying that Demise or Yuga or whatever the villain is in each dimension, it’s due to one lustful person of power coming to a different dimension over and over and over in the multiverse. The monsters are all just spawns of hatred. And the demise’s are all just beings from other dimensions of this ENDLESS multiverse.

[@fictionalortrue9898]

I have heard it said that the Downfall Timeline is not that Link dies, but when Link had to go back in time to get the silver gauntlets to move the giant block in the Sand Temple. In that way, Link was not in the world, allowing Ganon to rule Hyrule.

[@twiilit_]

I think there are two timelines in both Termina and Lorule. Since the Downfall and Adult Timelines start when Link is an adult, Termina would be destroyed in both. Also, for Lorule, since nobody interacted with it in the child and adult timelines, it probably crumbled by the end of those timelines.

Hilda is indeed better, it's not a reversed world for nothing. In the light world Zelda is bitchy and Link is a badass. In dark world Hilda has both looks *and* brains, while Link is being a purple pussy who can't do anything by himself. It would've been much more interesting if Link remained in the dark world and hooked up with Hilda in LttP but hey, it's nintendo we are talking about here, they'd never do the right thing with their permanent overly cautious playing-it-safe policy of theirs.

[@ivanquote1807]

I love timeline videos like this. Great job with these!

[@MrServantRider]

I remember reading a MASSIVE theory regarding Termina and the goddesses, talking about how the people of Ikana were being blasphemous to the Goddesses in many ways, and built the tower as a sort of "Tower of Babel" to go to the heavens and take down the goddesses directly. The theory goes that in response, the goddesses flipped the tower upside down, and the portal at the end of the Stone Tower Temple that sends you to the boss? It was meant to go to the Golden Realm where the Goddesses reside, but instead sends you to hell due to the tower being flipped over. The theory was really good, and really went into hardcore details. This video reminds me of it, and I have to wonder if you read it too. :D I actually love this video so much (even though I missed it when it came out). Zelda Theories give me vitality man, and this video is top tier.

[@Supaninjafication]

Does Demise actually reincarnate as Ganondorf though? Is it every explicitly stated? Demise says his hate never perishes and it will be born anew. I understood that to mean that he is the embodiment of evil and there will always be evil. That way every monster and villain is Demise not just Ganondorf. Is there anything to disagree with this idea?

[@nervithor5325]

"he warns Link that it was not over, and that an incarnation of his hatred would be reborn as a being to pursue domination of the world, as well as those with the blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero, in a cycle without end" To make things short He can and is most likely to be the reincarnaton of every villain that threatens to domain the world or hunt down zelda or link. so yeah... he is ganon, vaati, etc. unless stated otherwise in the future and he may also be some of the monsters on the games (not all though) maybe just the evil ones, and maybe not a direct reincarnation but they are spawns from its evil powers (it's not like the yellow chuchu you just killed is demise itself). at least thats how I see the monsters=demise theory.

[@Supaninjafication]

Eduardo Morro hat is how I took it. Not Demise = Ganon, I see it as Demise = All evil. We agree. Just people say Demise, Zelda and Link all reincarnate and that is not how I take it. I also see it as Hylia's curse if anything. She set in place the plan that her chosen hero would fight evil and it just so happens the evil cannot be killed forcing the hero to appear every time.

[@mattwo7]

Also the branching time stream theory is literally the same thing as multiverse theory. Light Realm/World, Twilight Realm and Dark World/Sacred Realm are planes of existence in pretty much every Zelda universes and Termina and Lorule are alternate timelines/universes. Hight, length, width, and depth are dimensions.

[@reakirk7624]

I just wanted to say that the thumbnail got it wrong, the Omniverse is everything, every idea ever thought, every concept ever conceived, it's even bigger than the multiverse, as it contains every multiverse in existence. The omniverse is basically a "set of all sets" if you'll excuse the paradox. Also, I personally like to believe that when the Terminians destroyed the Triforce, the goddesses decided "these guys may have blasfemed our sacred power, but their world too young to be destroyed, like lowrule," and then created the Giants.

[@HypercatZ]

And without counting all the crossovers with other universes, which could explain why in some places of the Zelda's universe there is advanced technology while it's mostly in medieval setting, or why there are so bizarre and apparently ot place creatures like the two beavers with jewels as eyes.

[@Phantasmeels]

I just figured that, within each of the three timelines, all of the realms (Hyrule, Lorule, Termina, The Twilight Realm, The Sacred Realm, etc.) exist, with the goddesses involved with each of each of them to some extent or another. That said, a very interesting and well thought-out theory. I just never thought to consider the other realms as a multiverse due to timeline alterations. To put my throughts in another way: The goddesses made three separate main universes, each perhaps with their own sacred realm for their Triforce to dwell: Hyrule, Lorule, and Termina. These don't exist because of timeline alterations of choice, but rather were created separately, from the beginning. Each of these universes has a Triforce due to the goddesses leaving them there upon creation. The Twilight Realm only exists as part of Hyrule for very specific reasons concerning the interlopers. Each timeline split depicted on the timeline envelopes these three universes as a coherent set, if that makes any sense.

[@kirstyshadowdancer5095]

2 minutes in and already, multiverse theory doesn't actually work like that. The theory states that for every choice, there is a universe where you didn't make that choice. But it does not say every choice creates a new universe. The universe where Link had 2% moomoo may be one where Ganendorf practices ballet on his days off and faries don't exist. Not every choice makes a new universe, only Key choices. Minor choices aren't thought to create new realities unless they have major repercussions.

[@PandaXclone2]

I like the above explanation. Another way of putting it is if the fish picked actually made you sick the next day while the normal fish you could've picked wouldn't. The consequences again aren't apparent immediately but eventually results. If you put it up to the above one, that would mean had you normally picked the fish you usually picked then the family in question would be sick.

Imagine all the Link crosses over to defeat the different evil forces in one game

[@Methrael]

One more idea crosses my mind for Termina - it is a reality created by Demise himself during the era of the war between himself and Hylia. Knowing of the Triforce and its might but outright opposing it would explain the blasphemy against the goddesses, even moreso if Demise's throne as a deity were in Ikana, a country devoted to war and death that also opposed the goddesses. This would make Termina a form of "Hell" in the Zelda universes, and once the source of everyone's oppression (Demise) was destroyed in the mortal world it could begin to exist as a world all its own, apart from the Triforce and therefore not reliant on it. This would also end the Ikana family's influence and cause their kingdom to rot from the inside. Works even better what with the portal to Termina being deep in the ground, the place where the demons were shown to have been sealed at the beginning of Skyward Sword.

Okay, here's my issue with the timeline split thing: If Link was DEFINITELY sent back in time, how is there a timeline of him being an adult? Like, unless he was split into two separate copies of himself and ONE of them was sent back in time, him being sent back in time means there's no timeline of him living on after the battle as an adult. People always brush over this, and I don't understand it.

why does the hyrule triforce, the top triangle look more light and compared to the bottom ones less messy

[@Rakkiankh]

all this talk of multiverses makes me think that any universe with speed running and glitches must be very interesting

6:23-6:36 Gnoggin is a demon confirmed

[@Dang33305]

For someone who doesnt like Zelda too much, Gnoggin makes lots of Zelda videos

[@Sahil-ph1bp]

Wanna know what I love? How no one fights over which specific game theorist is the best. (Ex. MatPat vs Gnoggin). :)

I know this video is over a year old, but I really have to say this: You DID visit a parallel universe in the adult timeline! You did so in Phantom Hourglass!

[@skyewaybright4293]

Snacker6, no! It was a dream world, not parallel, a dream!

Not that it _really_ affects your theory, but the Triforce wasn't the first decision in the Zelda universe. It is specifically stated in Ocarina of Time that the Triforce was created as the Goddesses left the universe _after_ creating the world.
