Traveling back in time before this timeline merge could have some intriguing consequences…

Great video, man! I'm not sold on the return of Demise, honestly. When Ganondorf awakened, he was stating that the viewer should witness the birth of a new king. Demise doesn't want to conquer, he wants to destroy. I also don't think Ganondorf can exist unless Demise is completely gone - consciousness and all. We've never seen multiple Ganondorfs at the same time, I believe the same can be said for Demise and Ganondorf as well. It also seems that Nintendo may have retconned Corpsedorf's headdress from that original teaser. There was some sort of change (I believe it's now a gray tear). I'm not sure which of the newer trailers it was shown on, but I saw a post about it today on the r/tearsofthekingdom subReddit lol. Cool video and cool theory, nonetheless, man!

Жыл бұрын

Me too Cory! Thanks for commenting.

The seal Link creates at the end of Skyward Sword in the past, is the seal he fights to maintain throughout the game. Whether or not the Master Sword is contained within the sealing spike and simply summoned back by Impa after Demise is crushed or not… it’s somewhat unclear. But the seal only reacts to Link throughout the game (even haunts him at the start) and the sealing spike has the emblems of Din, Nayru, and Farore… of whose flames he used to create the sword. BUT… the reason I point this out is that it’s important to note that the Triforce is what actually eradicated Demise in the end. People seem to, for whatever reason, think the Master Sword sealing was the last we saw of Demise and if the sword breaks or something, he’s suddenly back. Present day, chronologically, Link made a wish to the Triforce to “completely eradicate” Demise. That was the last of Demise, timeline-wise… the rest happens in the past. Hence, because of the Triforce wish, his spirit has only been able to return born anew as Ganondorf. Having Demise return to the world would literally go against the lore of the Triforce itself- unless a wish was made for his revival. However, since he seems to be a being outside the realm of time, I could see it possible to have him still exist in a completely different dimension where he’s sorta pulling the strings (via influencing Ganon’s motives) from far beyond. Afterall, Ganon once wished to the Triforce to rule the world, and that only managed to turn the Sacred Realm into the Dark World. It’s possible Link’s Triforce wish only fully eradicated Demise from Hyrule’s world and not literally all of existence. But my only point of contention here is… he can’t just suddenly be back in Hyrule because that would be a direct contradiction to the Triforce.

@wizcatcheslightning

Жыл бұрын

I’ve gone through the same thought experiment you went through. Yes, Demise is destroyed in the present time of SS. That’s why Ghirahim has to take Zelda back in time, because Demise is not eradicated and he has just been sealed by Hylia (thus counteracting the Triforce wish). So he’s still alive in the past. Now in this past, Demise’s body gets destroyed but his mind gets sealed inside of the Master Sword and will slowly decay. What Nintendo doesn’t mention is that there are two timelines created: one where Link succeeds and one where he fails, just like the Downfall Timeline. We only see Link succeed, but there is technically a completely different timeline where he fails. And this would be an alternative timeline different from the one we know that splits in Ocarina of Time, this would be the alternate timeline you’re referring to!

@Wiz I think you are close and wish we had a means of talking away from comments because I have tons of information that I think will play a huge role on this, but I think you are on the right track here. Except that I don’t think it is purely just Demise’s conscious, as you stated he is a master of time, and a demon, an immortal being. While it was hinted that the sword needed to be watched over, his decay was only a thought and was never a sure thing, which is why it needed to be watched over so closely. Another thing a lot of people forget is Demise himself said in Skyward Sword that he will return eventually. This leaves me to further believe his mastery over time and I think we see the revival of Ganon because the way he was sealed was not in essence killing him, cheating the birth and rebirth cycle of this curse. I believe we will see both characters return, and I think it’s the return of demise that has broken barriers between the sky realm and hyrule that has brought about these mysterious characters in ToTK and the stronger Demise grows or the closer he gets to possessing and or taking form, I believe a lot of that has to do with why we start seeing pieces of the sky collapse. It’s also part of the reason I believe these tears will be necessary to re create the sages as they fight alongside link is resetting time back on its correct course (the whole purpose of the reverse ability) and in a sense resetting the cycle of the curse, or the breaking of old and the birth of a new. Who knows that. Lots we could talk and go over that kind of hint towards these theories that are just much too long for me to discuss here but the info does originate from several text points in breath of the wild as well as relevant story moments and key locations in other games.

My belief they are lining up the connections between OOT and skyward sword, twilight princess (Sages, tears, temple of time) and possibly the sacred realm. Demises residual power was released in hyrule warriors practically at first. However non Canon as it may be, it proves a point Zelda will have her memories of her hylia form, she's also in the past due to recall after falling Link will have to gather the tears and powers to restore the master sword. Travelling between past and present. Ganondorf will most likely have the rest of his Demise abilities, residually transforming into Gademise (Ganon beast/Demise hybrid) and retain Demises memories Malice does break the master sword at first, that's why it's restoration is the important factor. Fi could also make a return. Tears of the kingdom is the end of the old cycle and the beginning of the new one.

I don’t necessarily think that’s Hylia but I’ve got a video in the works that will hopefully address some of this so keep an eye out!

Are we doing the multiverse premise? What if in the final battle you team up with all the other link incarnations? Can you imagine fighting alongside the Ocarina of Time Link or the Windwaker Link or the OG Link?

That would be siiiick. The one thing I really need to think about is why Ganondorf’s ears aren’t pointy like they are for the Ganondorf of WW or the Ganondorf of TP.

Yup 😎 The same reason Aonuma told people that he hoped they played Twilight Princess HD before the release of BOTW. There’s a lot of intent in the re-releases. Combine this with the fact that Fujibayashi’s first directed game was Skyward Sword and then went on to direct both BOTW and TOTK and we’ve got a lot of details to unravel that I can’t fit into this reply text 😎👉👉

I’m not sure I really see the horn you are trying to point out there. Clearly there is something on his head, but it could just be some sort of protruding head adornment like the tear shown on his forehead in a different scene. That one specific point seems like a reach to me. I think most other points are sound, but I don’t think they point to the actual physical Demise coming back necessarily. Could be some sort of thing like Ganondorf absorbing some of a weakened demise’s power from the broken master sword (since demise very well could be weakened significantly in there just as well as he might not be after thousands of years).

@wizcatcheslightning

Look at the final trailer again, specifically at the end when the title flashes and it shows a mural. And look at what most people think is Ganondorf in the top right corner of the mural. There’s a horn protruding from his head. Now, you could be right, that might not be a horn of Demise. Now, look at a picture of Farosh and you’ll have what may be our only other possible conclusion: Dragondorf.

@@wizcatcheslightning Fair enough, I'm just saying back in 1986 he might as well be because they probably didn't plan the timeline out that far ahead or in the past.

The chance of demise is very slim lore wisr he should've been long gone from. The master sword I'm afraid if he doesn't appear and it's just Ganondorf channeling malice into himself giving a slight appearance of demise do to Malice being demises hatred people are gonna flip and be angry. It's the same with everyone saying that mysterious women is zelda turned back into hylia there's a 50% chance it's not and is a zonai princess or someone who was decended from another God like figure or a zelda from a different universe.

Ok, hear me out. So I 100% subscribe to the essence of demise being released upon the master sword being broken, it makes too much sense and almost every Zelda theorist ignores it. So what I want to add/point out is the artwork released of Ganondorf with the tear being “inactive” and “active” on his forehead. What if the tears hold the essence of the sages or divine beings, and with Demise’s being trapped in the master sword to decay, it never went into any such tear until the master sword was broken. None of the other tears seem to “power down” when not in use, and though Ganondorf is in a sweet pose in the art of the tear being active, I highly doubt he’s in combat or using the power. Also with Zelda’s tear having the recall symbol on it; if Zelda uses light magic, and light is time, would the essence/spirit of light being in the tear grant these powers? What about when Demise’s essence goes into the previously vacant tear Ganondorf has? Love the theories man, especially the most recent dragon/god clan one! Good shit!
