I've been theorizing about Zelda for a LONG time! Since the beginning of Game Theory, I've tried to figure out all the ins and outs; all the ifs and maybes. Today we return to the Zelda timeline because I have finally SOLVED it! I have found the MISSING Link in this whole mess of a timeline that makes everything work! Strap in Theorists, this may be our biggest breakthrough yet!

But who knows, he might. But tears is also being theorized to be the last in the cycle. The 2 theories are the cycle is gonna be reset and everything returns to the sky or the cycle will be broken and Ganondorf fights his calamity self along side link and Zelda. I’m expecting the former, hoping for the latter.

    Link's Awakening taking place after the Oracle games makes a lot more sense than placing it before. In the finale of a linked game in the Oracle games, Link sets out to sea. Link's awakening starts out with Link being out at sea, sailing into a storm and getting shipwrecked. They just tie together perfectly this way.

    Not to mention, in Breath Of The Wild, King Dorephan seems to be non hostile towards Link, but his advisor Muzu (whom I've heard gamer Andrew from The Andrew Collette Show jokingly call Stingray face. I love that guy, a married gamer who happens to be a father and an editor with a sense of humor? A KZread gamer after my own heart 😂❤) clearly has disdain towards Link as well as untrusting of most Hylians, only relenting to trust Link after Prince Sidon proves that Link's Zora armor was made by Princess Mipha specifically for Link (whom she had an unrequited crush on, poor girl). If that doesn't give an indication that the timeline is mashed up, I don't know what does..

  • @JMFSpike
    @JMFSpike2 жыл бұрын

    When Nintendo revealed a couple of decades ago that there was a timeline, I think what they meant was that there was "somewhat" of a timeline. Basically, some games are direct sequels and fit together well. Where the "somewhat" comes in is that some games are unrelated to any other game, and in that case Nintendo tries to force a connection. They do that by saying the game takes place many generations after some other game they choose to force a connection to, and also by making up events that supposedly happened in-between the 2 games that there is no game for. I believe the above is also what Nintendo has been trying to tell us over the last few years or so, only they're clearly not being as straightforward about it as I was. You said it yourself in the video, that this "we want fans to come up with their own interpretations" thing is being said because they themselves don't really know. They did their best to try and piece it all together in a way that makes sense, but they know it's very imperfect because their main concern has never been the timeline. Sometimes they just want to make a Zelda game, and they probably feel that trying too hard to make it connect to other games restricts them in what they can do creatively.

    Here’s my theory. Nintendo makes references to every timeline of Zelda in the Breath of the Wild game for a reason. Supposedly, the whole timeline takes place over 10,000 years ago, in an era Breath of the Wild calls the “Era of Myth”. It could be said that the reason all these timelines are present is because Breath of the Wild is so far ahead in the future that the earlier entries in the timeline all occur in the Era of Myth, so far in the past that Breath of the Wild practically becomes its own new story. It’s actually something that parallels reality. In the real world, civilizations like the Sumerians and the Mayans who existed thousands of years ago are still left in mystery. To this day, we still haven’t deciphered these civilizations and eras of time. Breath of the Wild may have been designed to be a story where the original legends of Zelda are so old that they’ve been practically forgotten by Hyrule, and a new story of the hero begins, slowly uncovering the mysteries of past civilizations like the Zonai and the ancient tribes. A different approach to an age-old story.

    I like the theory that it has been so long that all of the events in the timelines became an inevitability, and so Breath of the Wild happens in every timeline. It’s possible that Breath of the Wild takes place millions of years after the other games. It is purely speculative tho, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was easily debunked.

    Honestly wouldn't surprise me. While HW does fit the timeline pretty well I still don't quite like this idea. I would prefer a fleshed out game where a Link has to travel between the timelines and officially recombine them. Kind of like an oracle of ages/seasons-like game but with timelines. Each timeline would have its own map with similarities and differences compared to the rest and eventually you get to merge them all into one complete map. In HW the timelines get merged but if my memory serves me right, the timelines were split up again in the end. That would mean the other timelines still exist....but the child timeline now has influences from other timelines affecting it. I had the WiiU version of HW so it's been a while since I played it but I don't think my memory is that much off. I do find the argument compelling though and I am also quite impressed by how so far the comments have been extremely positive to this idea. I'm used to people rushing to the comments to trash the theory. Well done, by everyone.

If we are the king, then why are we siblings to Horneta and the Hollow Knight, wouldnt they know what their fathers presence was like? If we are the king, how could we have united the voidheart? It cannot be from simple things such as "Oh, he has been reincarnated as a sibling" no, the Voidheart allows you to command the void beings, beings completely oppossed to the power of the king. If we were the king, the task would be impossible, if we were a child of the king, we have the ability of sacrificing one part of our body for that union, the "Light" part.

    Enlightened Zelda Fan : Actually, the books weren't written by Nintendo and even less by the developers but by both Shogakukan and Dream Magazine Writters. "Supervised by Aonuma" One of the big problems with the Timeline of Hyrule Historia, while the order of the game is correct, there is no "Hero is defeated". Now, if we take the official Manual of A Link To the Past, the Story part that a developer actually wrote, being Yoshiaki Koizumi, Ganon never faced any Hero prior to ALTTP. The Story goes this way : He and his followers found the Entrance of the Sacred Realm by chance(there is no proof of a temple of time in that Timeline), they all went crazy over their first gaze upon Triforce so Ganondorf murdered all of them a wished on it with his hand soaked with fresh blood, he wished to conquer the world and this turned him into the Demon King Ganon and turned the Sacred Realm into the Dark World, an overview of what Hyrule is going to be like once the wish is fulfilled. Too bad, now he's lonely as he killed all his allies, to conquer the world he needs an army so he used his evil presence to lure greedy people into the Dark World and make them shift into demons thanks to the curse. Once he got an army, he was going to invade hyrule, Dark Clouds were coming from the Gate and were covering the land, so the King sent the Sages to stop that from happening and they seeked for the existence of the Master Sword and a Hero to wield it but there is no time, so they Knights were enough, too bad they sacrified themself and their line almost vanished, the line in which the Hero is supposed to appears from. But the Sages completed the seal and the only Gate was sealed. This is basic seal War lore. I want to have a talk with Shogakukan and how they misinterpreted ALTTP so hard, yeah, by the way, this is just but an interpretation.

    you could have also connected the fact that the more dark and spirit/particle-based form of Ganon that is shown at the beginning of the game at the tapestry and again as being released from Hyrule castle before he turns into a boar is HIGHLY reminiscent of some of Ganondorf's attacks in Hyrule warriors where he seems to summon a similar spirit like an apparition that attacks in a monster-esque darkness particle form which is basically what Ganon is before Zelda loses power and he regains a more physical appearance. I always found it weird that he seemed to be able to create this beast out of nowhere, but in BOTW that seems to be the same form, you see him take before being released from his imprisonment.

    MatPat must be pretty Proud of Himself since the newest Hyrule Warriors game Age of Calamity has proven this theory right. Age of Calamity is a Prequel to Breath of the Wild and Nintendo has gone on record saying that its Cannon. In Age of Calamity, if you 100% complete the game you will unlock the Tunic from the first Hyrule Warriors game. In the description for the Tunic, it tells us that the tunic was Quote: "Once worn by an ancient hero who fought in a war against the calamity". Age of Calamity is CANNON and is out right TELLING us that Hyrule Warriors is Cannon as well.
