      I never even NOTICED the tree during my first two playthroughs of Breath of the Wild! I was literally just focused on the murderous Guardians! That was a REALLY cool detail from Nintendo.
      To be honest, I never really paid much attention to the Tree of Life, even while I was playing Skyward Sword (none of the million times I played it), so I was really caught by surprise!
      I really hope Ganon's body from the sequel trailer is located underneath the Forgotten Temple, because that would be really cool!

      Only good or pure kids can see it I think was also said. Makes it seem like you can only see it when you're young. And it would be believable if link saw the floating islands as a kid; he can see the koroks, the dragons, and the late champions after all. It would also be believable if he's not fully recovered from his amnesia or he was very young when he last saw it and simply forgot over time because the adults didn't enable and entertain the notion he saw things they couldn't or strictly believed such things were fairy tales and nothing more.

Also worth noting, nearby is a place called the "Breach of Demise" which is a huge canyon surrounded by ominous looking rock spike pillars.

      @@VampireBabysitter I should have said "timelines". I meant it in the sense that the idea of every LoZ game taking place in any set order that relates to each other is a relatively new idea (especially talking about alternate timelines) and the only games that have made use of it are BotW and Skyward because the timeline idea became official about the same time Skyward came out iirc. Basically I meant that Skyward is (as far as we know) the confirmed start of all the timelines in the LoZ universe, therefore BotW making reference to it and other minor world building details like that is neat

      @@westoncerami3142 ah I understand what you mean now! Yeah I agree completely. I love that now the games are genuinely connected together and there's actual world building lore outside of a confined game, like with two of the leviathan skeletons in BOTW looking suspiciously like Levias from Skyward Sword and the Wind Fish from Awakening.
      It was always nice to see things like carvings of Rito in Twilight Princess even though they're in two different timelines which implies that the Rito actually exist across all of them, or at least in the adult and child ones. But BOTW has a lot more ties to other games especially Skyward Sword given that Skyward is before the split so it's much easier to work things in. I was so happy when I met that kid who kept talking about wanting to go to the place he kept dreaming about, a land above the sky where he could ride on giant birds.
      Lore is my favorite aspect of video games so I was especially happy with the last two games

      @@christophersuazo6799 But ironically that wouldn't necessarily mean that the Imprisoned Demise is gone for good.
      Skyward Sword could technically split the timeline being as it involved time travel. While the Demise in the past was truly defeat by Link, the Imprisoned still could exist just sealed underground deep beneath the Goddess Statue.
      Though that is a bit of a stretch because time travel doesn't seem to work that way in SS for any other time travel shenanigans (specifically Zelda, Impa, and the tree of life).
      But then again Demise being defeated in the past should have technically erased the Imprisoned from the present if that was fully the case as SS seems to operate on predestination with the exception of the Tree of Life and anything dealing with Time Shift stones. Though in OoT planting things was the only thing you could do to change the future (so maybe the tree of life works under that rule), and Zelda/Impa could have caused a split but being Link doesn't time travel until after the other two you could argue he was simply from the split that Zelda/Impa created when they traveled. Although I like to think that the OoT timeline split has a reason it occured beyond simple time travel and is somehow related to the split of the Triforce. (This is why I think the Downfall timeline exists when it doesn't make much sense to exist. There's a reason we are simply unaware of.)

There is a lot going on that just doesn't make any sense.

    Perhaps.. and go with me here..
    Some ancient cultures would "resculpt" important statues if they become damaged.
    Perhaps the Goddess Hylia statue was re-sculpted from her larger form after taking damage, from war, weather, or just time. If her head and a wing fell off or something and she became unrecognizable, her worshippers might have panicked and wanted to rebuild the statue and build a temple around her to protect her from the elements and perhaps.. I dunno, drop a few high tech guards to protect her and watch over her.
    So they take the original statue, carve a new-er smaller statue from what remains of her, and build the temple anew! Bigger! Better! With the best technology and stone they have to offer now! They leave the most technologically advanced weapons they have to protect her for all time.
    Then.... something happens. A _Calamity_ if you will... and her builders and protectors never return. People forget she exists. The beautiful Goddess and her temple, both rebuilt and waiting to found, sit alone and waste away to the ravages of time... Again.
    That is my kinda sad theory that helps this main theory be true.
    Hope you like it.

      I'm not religious, but sometimes religion births some beautiful and really impressive customs and traditions that balance out some of the... "less good" ones.
      Also, I kinda forgot that almost all Japanese temples and castles are wooden and require rebuilding and upkeep because they are meant to fall down or break in hurricanes or storms and be rebuilt as needed instead of stone which is much harder to build with, repair and upkeep.

    I like to think somewhere, Nintendo has a complete, absolute record of every tiny detail within the Zelda world, but picks and chooses what to explicitly explain, and what to leave out.

      That’s what I like about the dark souls series, they have lore like this where they don’t entirely explain and they use the story that spans over a series, using call backs as the actual story instead of just having it there for the sake of nostalgia. They also have a complete idea of the story, but purposefully don’t allow it to be fully revealed so players can be speculative. The two series are actually pretty similar community wise if you think about it, the main lore RUclipsr similar to zeltik is vaati vidya who combines the games actual lore with theories to get a conclusion taht often times ends up being proved right in dlc or sequels since fromsoftware actually has the story planned out. I hope that Nintendo tries to follow their lead with this type of story that’s off to the side but is actually planned out and still really interesting in totks release

At some point the Forgotten Temple was built around it in order to spare the statue from the elements and since then it hasn't reduced in size as quickly as it definitely seems to fit in with the Temple.

    Great theory! My thought on the Temple's inconsistent location is that Rauru, using the Triforce, moved the Sealed Temple and goddess statue because he was trying to hide the location of the Sacred Realm. I think the temple was moved magically because you can see the natural rock and temple stone seemed phased together in many places. That was the whole reason he built the Temple of Time in the first place. This would also explain why the Great Plateau and Lost Woods seemed to have switched locations in BOTW. Ganondorf discovered the location of the entrance to the Sacred Realm in OoT. So, after the events of that era, the Royal Family and/or Great Deku Tree used their power to switch the locations in order to hide the entrance to the Sacred Realm again. The Deku tree and Kokomo/Koroks protect it by removing those not worthy from the forest. This is why the Master Sword is in the forest and not the Temple of Time in BOTW and othernlater timeline games. The Sword, pedestal, and Sacred Realm entrance never moved-but everything else did. I like to think that why you have to do the Sword trials as well; the Master Sword is using its sealing power to seal the Sacred Realm, and it doesn't trust you with all its power till you prove you are worthy. Maybe it was Rauru who built the Forgotten Temple to honor the very first hero.

    I love the idea of the location where the first hero awakened becoming a special place for heroes of all ages. Although I had always thought the sealed temple was the temple of Time. (Sword pedestal, time warp gate, magically sealed back room, geographical location). I guess it all comes down to which hero you think the Hylians remember and honor the most. (Ironically, both of them are initially ignored, dismissed, and forgotten, until a few thousand years have passed.)

  • @RevaHearts
    @RevaHearts 5 лет назад +24

    There are a few smaller details I noticed that make this theory even more believable.
    1.If you look at the stone octagon shape on the ground where the shrine is in BotW, it's just like in front of Skyward Sword's goddess statue.
    2.The family symbol without the Triforce is on the statue in BotW if you climb onto its hands and look below its face, just like you see in SS.
    3.If you go in the room with the statue in BotW and look up at the doorway leading out to the pillars, you'll see it's lower than the others, where you can fly over it instead of having to go through a hole in the wall like the other rooms. Look at the Sealed Temple on Isle of the Goddess in SS, the entranceway is lower than the rest of the temple's ceiling is, just like in BotW.
    Sorry if some of that didn't make sense, just some observations I made. Personally I believe this theory.

    She gives you the Goddess Sword for saving her, and can offer you a new one for one claw of Dinraal, Farosh, and Naydra (like you needed to save her originally) if you break the Goddess Sword.

      Remember the Sheikah must be hiding a lot of secrets about special or even destructive and very important devices and weaponry. It's a matter of time before a Zelda game is released which shows us all (or a big part) of these achievements and make us realize how truly advanced they were.

    The main thing that gets me when taking about this is that "oldest" is relative to context. "Oldest" does not mean first. Also based on real world buildings it is unlikely one the size of the temple of hylia statue was the first. However, given the way Hylia is worshipped then forgotten then worshipped again in Zelda games I could imagine a renaissance in Hylia imagery and the old sites being rediscovered and rebuilt, starting with the sealed/forgotten temple (rebuilt as stated in the video) and then the spring sites discovered via records in the temple. This would allow for the size differences and the "oldest" being the oldest still standing.

    So I noticed that there is a lot of talk on the aesthetics of the two games. Let's remember part of the game's name is "The Legend.." which most legends are passed on by word of mouth. I kind of like to think that even though as the players we are directly experiencing the games.. Each of the games have one thing in common, they reference Link, Zelda, Gannondorf are all linked. The 3 of them are always present, which shows there are different incarnates through time. So I think we can agree the forgotten temple, is the hylian temple, and shouldn't distracted by different physical dimensions.

      Zelda isn't an incarnate, only Link and Ganon are. It's explicitly stated that the daughters of the royal family are named Zelda.

    For whatever it's worth, I've come back to this video to say my thanks to Zeltik. Every Archeologist seems to have their one "thing" that sparked their interest in the field. This was mine.
    I'd kind of taken Breath of the Wild for granted when I first played it in 2018. I used to look through the ruins and not see anything that told me any history, I'd been hoping for an exposition journal or plaque like in Skyrim. Seemed like all I ever got for exploring was either a korok seed or a rare weapon. But videos on this and other channels, starting with this one here, made me realize what I'd been missing. That it's possible to piece together the story or history of a place through studying the locations themselves. I started doing just that with the other Zelda games, most especially Twilight Princess. And now, my interest has grown to the point that I'm starting my first term at Oregon State University to get a Bachelor's in Anthropology with an Archeology emphasis.
    Reason why all that matters so much to me is this: Ever since getting out of High School about 9 years ago, I'd bounced from one major to another trying to find one career path that just really clicked and felt right. Now I've finally found it! And I'm genuinely hoping I'm given an excuse to use Zelda as the basis for a paper! So, yeah, thanks.

    One easy explanation is that when they built the Temple of Time they decided instead of destroying the Sealed Temple, they moved it to a new location. Brick by brick exactly as it was. Even the tree was carefully moved.

    • @davosmando
      @davosmando 3 года назад +5

      Exactly, they probably moved the statue and the remaining most prominent structures like the columns, then built the surrounding bigger structure and decorated it with Loftwing imagery. Sounds more likely than the plates shifting its location that much and somehow only moving half the temple, because the part with the Master Sword pedestal most likely remained where it was.

    I think what you're going with is pretty close if not spot on.
    I wondered a bit when BotW came out and I found the Forgotten Temple that this be the case, it all lines up too well.
    But being that the BotW 2 trailer has dropped I am even more inclined to believe it.
    As Hylia dropped Skyloft on Demise, it would make perfect sense, perhaps the spelunking we see Link and Zelda doing in the BotW 2 trailer is beneath the Forgotten Temple and even further down, BENEATH the Sealed Temple? Leading creedance to the shriveled corpse being perhaps that of the long crushed Demise and the green hand/energy being the power of Hylia sealing him away, but as time has passed Hylia's power is fading from the physical world and Demise is reawakening which lead to the Calamity at first but Hylias grasp on Demise continues to weaken leading to his eventual return...
    God damn, I am excited for BotW 2!

    • @1timemelody1
      @1timemelody1 5 лет назад

      I'd love to second that theory, except that the corpse is pretty clearly Gerudo his apparel even bears their symbol, so its probably Calamity Ganon's mortal humam-ish form, Ganondorf, since we only defeat his beastly version in-game. I wouln't totally toss out the idea though, perhaps that's how Calamity Ganon became as powerful as he was was by seeking out the remains of his forebearer/progenitor, Demise. IIRC Demise made some kind of curse that would make the darkness he embodied be periodically reborn into Hyrule, so maybe Ganondorf sought to tap into that evil divine power that made him? That green hand is definitely some kind of seal, like you said, and it looks like its going tie into some kind of in-game mechanic that Link will use, if I had to guess.

    The promenade could’ve also been built to honor Naydra. One of the most consistent places to spawn Naydra is on the northern cliff overlooking the gorge. So maybe it was built with both the sightings and proximity to the spring taken into account.
