Zeldays: No echo ⚠️Flash Warning⚠️

[@mythosinfinite6736]

I love how even when you make her nihilistic and hopeless, you still keep her kind. She makes new Zeldas in the previous animations because she wants to eventually escape and save Hyrule. And when she wants to experience joy, she doesn't make another Zelda take over her work; she makes a new Zelda and tells her to have adventures. It's enough for her that at least some other version gets to be happy.

[@SheppySheps]

My take on the plot so far: Before the events of Echoes of Wisdom, Zelda becomes the de facto retainer of the kingdom because of how overpowered her duplication magic is, and Links role becomes more secretarial. Despite being such a capable warrior, she is still royalty and must sign paperwork to enact policy. Knowing she cannot escape her fate, she made a copy of herself, a version of her that can be free to do as she pleases as a self-sacrificing measure. She doesn't want anyone to experience the extreme mundanity of royal administrative duties, and making copies of herself to help with it would be unethical and unfair to those copies. A while after, Ganon resurrects (as he does), and causes the usual havoc in the kingdom, stealing the Triforce in the process. The free zelda goes on an epic adventure to get the Triforce back. In a foolish lapse of judgment and inflated pride in her abilities, she causes a massive imbalance of the laws of nature by copying Din's triforce three times, making the only rule of nature destruction and passion. She wishes to the Triforce to be an unstoppable, godlike being able to shift reality to her will. She was able to easily trounce Ganon, obliterating him (possibly preventing his resurrection, ever again) and becomes the new dark lord. Link bursts in, but to Zelda's sadness he does not recognize her other than a being of pure evil. Zelda, in one last effort to do good in the world traps link in relative safety instead of outright killing him. She creates a clone of herself, one that is not corrupted, and sends her into the world, hoping that in time the good Zelda can correct the mistakes of the unforeseen collapse of evil Zelda's hubris. In the present, good Zelda can only observe the world she lived in become a broken fractured hellscape, as the Triforce is no longer balancing/protecting the world's balance. To this day, the original Zelda is filing paperwork, possibly unknowing of the fallout of her decisions.

[@IkanaMaskedMan]

Thats dark and deep

[@zdpastaman15]

Now that sounds like an excellent plot to a Zelda game

[@midovodella1702]

I think you're right. If you go back to the first video in the series, the zoom out shot of the house shows the castle tower in the upper right corner. In the second video when Zelda is pushed by Ganon Zelda into Hyrule, you see it start shimmering, presumably shortly before everything gets corrupted and absorbed. The first video also seems to show a corruption of her duplication ability, as in this video items are shown to have restorative qualities while the first video shows that Zelda has no choice but to make more, inferior copies of herself to maintain the cycle of trying to save the world. That, or she's so lost on hope she doesn't want to continue on. Which would mean there's 3 Zelda's in the remains of Hyrule. I wonder if they could combine their powers to fix things Edit: Some additional, probably completely unimportant things I noticed. In this episode, Ganon is shown being defeated quite easily, but in the second episode, he dodged and parries, seemingly having learned from the first brawl with Zelda. The first episode is the only instance where Zelda is wearing a different outfit. The first episode is the only episode where the Tri Rod is given to another Zelda. This either means the rod is duplicated with each Zelda, or it's found individually. If it's the former, then that might go to explain the decline in duplication potency. If Tri is duplicated in each wand, then that might explain their completely broken nature in the first episode. Either way that means there are currently 3 varying Tri Rods, owned by each respective Zelda.

[@ShimyIa1]

[@JacobKinsley]

Tl;dr: gee, it sure is boring around here

[@guigondi7671]

I doubt Link would ever let things get to this point if Zelda talked about her problems with him. Link Is the ultimate errand boy of the Kingdom and tries to solves everyone's problems while also saving the world and Zelda.

[@nobodyimportant4778]

[@peon9584]

There's a bunch of people just saying summon zeldas to do work for you, but that's missing the point. After leaving just resulted in her getting thrown back to work with a bigger pile she couldn't force someone else to suffer that, instead she summoned a zelda that could be free of work. She was thrust into that work by her family, so she just can't do the same thing to herself.

[@ImFangzBro]

I mean, the more of her there are, the less work each one has to do. I imagine there's an alternative variant where she turns into a tyrant and makes the kingdom in her own image by replacing all the citizens with herself, and it all started because she wanted one clone for each piece of paperwork. Those are my favorite kind of bad ends, the vengeful ones.

[@Teknanam]

@@ImFangzBro The work never ends. Having more Zeldas just mean they get through the backlog before a new pile gets brought in. And if Zelda doesn't like the work being there at all, she's still in a situation of existential dread.

[@ImFangzBro]

@@Teknanam They can't make the paperwork faster than she can fill it out if there's more of her than them.

[@Teknanam]

@@ImFangzBro But its never going to end and its not like the Zelda clones in these videos are mindless slaves. They too will grow to dread the never ending paper work like the original Zelda who made them.

[@ImFangzBro]

@@Teknanam The problem with that is that even IF the paperwork doesn't end, there is still a source of it. A source that can be destroyed.

[@yarata0]

this may sound odd but theres something very sad and melancholic about these animations. I had dreams like these before. It also feels like Zelda has a personality disorder or when she isn’t allowed to be free like the other characters yet still puts on a smile when they see her.

"You are a clone of Zelda. Go rescue the real Zelda from her responsibilities." This sounds like a good premise for a game to me.

I'm surprised she gave her clone freedom instead of herself. She could have just abandoned the Kingdom, but someone has to stay behind.

[@ZakWithTwoZs]

Wow, lots of layers to this one! I think my favorite moment is probably around a minute in, when Zelda puts on a brave face when Link enters the room, completely hiding her emotions from him, only to get immediately overwhelmed and have the façade fall away. I also really when then king brings her into a hug, only to throw her right back where she came from; like he understands she is struggling and wants to show her he loves her, but ultimately still holds expectations that Zelda can't reach.
