The castle from ocarina of time was destroyed by Gannon at the end of the game so I believe there used to be a castle on what is now the great plateau but after it was destroyed, they built a new one in the area we find it now
I hadn't played Zelda games between A Link to the Past and Breath of the Wild so missing some context but the great tree reminded me of the tree in the first Zelda game that is the entrance to the first labyrinth. Great video, and I am happy to learn more Hyrule lore. Tetraforce? Hmm, that is intriguing!
In Ocarina of Time, we get introduced to a guardian deity named The Great Deku Tree. A giant tree who protects the kokiri (spiritual beings who can change their form and later in the series, turns into the koroks) and the tetra force was thought up when another game had a solid triangle as the golden power. It also didn't help that Zelda disguised herself as someone named Tetra to stay hidden from gannondorf. (The difference between Gannon and Gannondorf is the former is when he uses magic to turn into a beast while the latter is his original gorudo form
The reason that up until recently Zelda has followed a three pattern format is that in Japanese the number four is pronounced similarly to the Japanese word for death. Because of this pronunciation the number 4 has been considered unlucky or evil in some areas of the country. Like the number 13 is in the west.
One thing that important to remember is that Hyrule follows classical geography rules. Before we came to understand plate tectonics and how mountains and oceans were truly formed, there was a general belief that landscapes just on their own changed drastically, with things like floods and earthquakes raising entire mountains and sinking continents into oceans. It's one reason why if you look at old world maps, say with Middle Earth or the Hyborian Age from Conan, maps intended initially to be 'our' world, but thousands of years ago, the land shapes would be completely different because they just thought that one massive catastrophe would alter everything. So with Hyrule, ten thousand years really can shift things all around on the map. It's a fluid place.
There are no less than 4 different Temples of Time throughout the Zelda franchise; - Skyward Sword in Lanayru Desert - Twilight Princess which houses a dungeon by the same name - Ocarina of Time, the most familiar - Breath of the Wild Temple of Hylia / Sealed Temple did not become OoT's Temple of Time; this info was made up by the writers of Hyrule Historia, which is non-canon and riddled with errors. The Temple in BotW is confirmed to not be the same as the OoT one by geography alone. It's location and orientation to Death Mountain are way different than OoT's. It also contains no entrance to the Sacred Realm, no Master Sword chamber, etc. There are also stone monuments inside that have Hylian written on them. They translate to this: "On this day the King of Hyrule opened this structure to the public"
@@santiagojpr4779 Stop capping, Historia is full of mistakes. They literally get the OoT medallions wrong in the book. It was made by Nintendo Dream Magazine, not Nintendo. Aonuma and Miyamoto only have a short interview in the book and that's it. Aonuma even admits in the back of the book that there are contradictions in it.
@@RenSako Stop lying and coping. The books are full of errors. Encyclopedia admits at the front of the book that they padded it out with their own ideas. Aonuma states at the back of the Historia that while reading it you will find inconsistencies. You look like an absolute clown when you defend those retarded books.

I wouldn't use geography as a basis as to whether or not the Temple of Time is the same in Breath of the Wild as it is in Ocarina of Time. The geography of Hyrule, while in general does have a few consistencies, is extremely inconsistent at best. The Castle/Castle Town is always at the center, but other locations vary so it will be our reference point when talking about direction. Take Kakariko Village for example. Traditionally it is placed at or near the base of Death Mountain. In Breath of the Wild they are nowhere near each other. Death Mountain itself is consistently North of the castle, however sometimes it is more Northeast. Zora's Domain is typically east but in Twilight Princess it is directly North. Lake Hylia is South in one game, Southeast in another, Southwest in two games, and due east in a fourth. For my final example the Lost Woods are all over the place. They have been West, Northwest, North, Southeast, and South. That's five different locations for one landmark, and that's not even taking into account whether the Master Sword is hidden within. I should note that these are just the examples that I can remember, and that there are others I'm likely missing. As for the Temple of Time itself, it is not unreasonable that it would be updated from time to time by the inhabitants of Hyrule. We must remember though to take into account any design differences that may result due to technological limitations that existed at the time a particular game was released. We must also remember its function in regard to the game it is in. The Skyward Sword appearance I will pass over because it really only has one use, and that is as a story movement point. The Ocarina of Time version is relatively simple with a courtyard in front, a main area, and the chamber of the Master Sword. Being heavily tied to the main quest, this one is designed for multiple return trips. The design of the Twilight Princess version for the most part seems to mimic that of its predecessor, however it should be noted that we never see the outside except in its decayed state. The altar for the Spiritual Stones is gone, but two staircases lead down into the main area from the entrance, something not seen in the Ocarina version. The chamber of the Master Sword is present, and also acts as a portal to a dungeon. Whether said dungeon is in the Sacred Realm is unclear. Now we have the Breath of the Wild version. Externally it is identical to the Ocarina of Time version except the complex is notably larger having three smaller temples in front dedicated to and in the position of each piece of the Triforce. Theoretically these could have been there but unseen in Ocarina of Time as you still need to go up a flight of stairs to get to them. The inside is also largely identical except for the altar and a separate Master Sword chamber. Instead there is a goddess statue. This statue sits where the Master Sword normally would if the Temple of Time were being used for that purpose in this game. How do I know? Because there is something unique about this particular statue. It is surrounded by six small statues, which is obviously a reference to the six sage medallions that surround the pedestal of the Master Sword in Ocarina of Time. As for its overall importance to the game there's not much as it's largely the finale to the tutorial area. Somewhere it is stated that the Great Plateau is where the Kingdom of Hyrule began. The surrounding ruins do resemble Castle Town as it appears in Ocarina of Time, with the Eastern Abbey being the location of the castle. Whether it is meant to be or is merely an Easter egg is perhaps up to the player. Tears of the Kingdom has added a "fifth" Temple of Time. In addition to the ruins found on the Great Plateau there is another up in the sky. Again it acts as a finale to the tutorial area with the one on the surface being involved in a sidequest. So yes, Hyrule Historia and books like it can and do get things wrong, however that is not completely their fault when the lore changes or gets added to. That book is now 11 years old, and four games have been made since its release. The book itself even mentions that things "may change in the future as new things are discovered" but that this is the record as of right now. This basically lets them off the hook for any inconsistencies that may arise from the release of future games, and was a wise move to include. Tears of the Kingdom shakes up the lore like never before due to certain story elements, so much so that you wonder if it and Breath of the Wild are in their own timeline. One element in particular supposedly happened between Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past, yet it is to be wondered if it is the same event due to another, equally important story element that would contradict them being the same when regarding previously established lore. Hopefully you can see my point, and in any case I've rambled on long enough. When even the geography changes from game to game, one can't blame the writers if something was gotten wrong.
@@saraross8396 I would urge you to consider that the examples of the geographical locations of areas changing which you mentioned. Those are different areas given familiar names. All of those places called "Death Mountain" are different. It's the same as irl. If I tell you that I'm planning a trip to Florence, am I talking about Florence, Italy or Florence, South Carolina? They are two separate locations that are cities that have the same name. Now apply that logic to Zelda. Similar landmarks with similar functions over thousands of years may receive the same names.
Cool video! Just discovered your channel. I have also heard that Mekar is a reference to the first dungeon in Zelda 1-lone tree on an island. But I had never put it together that the extra wind might be related! I guess I assumed it was similar to how the rest of area around Lost Woods is in that game since if you try to paraglider in, the wind blows you back
We do know that Hylia is a fourth goddess but all lore points to her being of a lower rank than the three golden goddesses as they left and charged her with watching over the land they created, and it is not stated that she helped create the lands with them
I didn't think the temple of time was the same but since the great plateau is the birthplace of hyrule it makes sense , cool to think that the castle walls in oot could have been located in the same place as the walls of the plateau
Can I just say that Ocarina of Time took place way before 10,000 years ago. The Calamity from 10,000 years ago was when the divine beasts and shrines were created
I forget which book it is, but one of them specifies that it is 100k years between OoT and the Calamity of 10k years ago. So in reality it has been 110k years since then, or rather 110,100 years when Link wakes up. Though I believe these years are meant to be an "order of magnitude," and not like literal years, so counting Link's "short" 100-year "nap" seems arbitrary. Anyhow, doesn't anyone ever wonder why BotW is always talking about the events of 10k years ago, but it's always the previous Calamity and not OoT or any other recognizable Zelda game?
That and when zelda is sent back in time. Many think she was sent 10,000 years ago but again, that was when the divine beasts were created to counter the calamity, therefore zelda was sent back way more than 10,000 years.
I believe the Great Plateau is the birthplace of the Hyrule kingdom, but was gradually abandoned over time to go to the new castle being built as more soldiers were being moved there to guard the location but the citizens went there to feel more safe instead of just relying on a tall wall. The Great Plateau just slowly fell apart after the last person left. I’m not going to say more as it’ll be spoilers for TotK.
SPOILER WARNING FOR TOTK HYRULE CASTLE EXPLORATION AND TEARS QUEST . . . . . . . . . . . . . the castle was rebuilt on top of the sealed body of ganondorf. the three dragons are possibly the ancient zonai sages of wisdom, courage and power, and there is evidence in zonai ruins and armour sets that they were worshipped by the zonai.
Something i never understood is that the goddess hylia seems to be ever present in breath of the wild with people prying to her and the statues of her seemingly being able to talk and give power but…..hylia doesn’t exist anymore..because she became zelda in skyward sword…right?
yes technically Zelda is Hylia in human form. But the game is never specific on how public that knowledge is. It definitely seems like something Zelda (Hylia) may want to keep a secret
@@fishfood1117 I mean yes that is very true I doubt anyone would know but I was more reffering to well who's voice speaks to you through the statues and grants you hearts and stamina
There’s some additions I’d like to add here: In second chapter, the highly suspected fourth goddess has a representative in Twilight Princess, named Ordona. Also, the Forgotten Temple should not even exist as Temple of Time was built over it’s ruins once. In Third chapter, the ruins around Temple of Time closely resemble the castle town of Ocarina of Time, so it possibly is the old Hyrule Castle Town.
I always had the theory that with the layout of the ruins of the great plateau and the temple of time, alongside the giant bulging chunk of land it sits on that it was swapped with the great hyrule forest. It seems like the land moved was bigger than the great hyrule forest and they built a retaining wall to keep the soil in/build the divine beast under it. It would make sense knowing the placement of OOT castle town and it's map in relation to death mountain and would explain the moat around great hyrule forest as over 10,000 years passed by and it filled with rainwater more than likely. Why it would be swapped is beyond me but with the castle rising in TOTK I hope my theory gets confirmed
My favorite (false) head cannon is Calamity Gannon converted the majority of Hyrule's people into monsters [forcing Link to slay them]. However, this is false for three reasons: 1) Devs said NPCs gave away too much of the plot; 2) Open area was maximized to give BotW an epic outdoor feeling; 3) Devs have a policy of multi-use mechanics and features [to maximize processor power].
According to Creating A Champion ( basically the Breath of the Wild concept art book), the Forgotten Temple was initially intended to be a sort of "Hero Hall of Fame". This idea was obviously not used but does kinda explain the statue and Loftwing motif. I don't think the fact that one needs four orbs for a heart container/stamina is proof of the tetraforce. With the exception of Twilight Princess where you needed five, you've always needed four heart pieces to complete a heart container. The orbs are merely a replacement of that.
I mean if the temple of time was a sky island that fell, it would kind of make sense as being the "origin of hyrule" in a literal like... birthplace to the world kinda way
What a grat video. Im currently playing Tears of the Kingdom and i've been avoiding videos that spoils me the story and sites. I miss seen videos of Zelda lore and theories, and this video is soo much pleasant to me. Thanx. You have my like and my suscribe. Greetings from El Salvador.
I believe Hylia the Goddess of time is the fourth piece of triforce that left her power imbued into objects such as The Ocarina of Time. And in Zelda Ocarina of Time. The three great fairy springs, where connected to the three goddess’s and their gifts for the Hero of time. Connecting those springs to the triforce. Those springs seem to move if I remember correctly between child an adult.
The so-called Tetra-Force has been debunked and denied by Nintendo so much that they even removed the fourth triangle from all future incarnations of the Hylian shield. It was just a weird artistic design choice for the shield that Nintendo now regrets because fans are making ridiculous off the wall theories about a tiny triangle on a shield. The forgotten Temple goddess statue is confirmed to be the same as the giant goddess statue in Skykeep that crushed Demise at the end of Skyward sword. Nintendo is very notorious for putting Easter eggs alluding to past games in their games. The problem is that they are terrible at connecting the continuity of everything. I mean... TOTK barley even feels like a sequel because of all of the continuity errors. It completely takes me out of the game when the NPCs Link spent a long time with in BOTW don't remember him at all.
I wonder sometimes if the devs have actual writers on the team? After all programmers and game designers have more than enough to do already and would not really have time to commit to the story itself.
cyberpunk 2077 seems to generate some clicks. I just bought it last week. honestly, I'm not in love with it. Even if it's exactly the type of game I would like on paper. Its kinda meh. But I did notice that a lot of videos for that game seem to generate a lot of views. RPG and has a lot of lore you can pick apart. Check it out if you haven't already. Even way smaller channels generate videos with 100k+ views.
@@sarialue no need to apologize. As long as you're not uploading videos of you kicking puppies into the river i'm going to be here to click that like and watch your video. You don't have to do anything. If you don't want to check the game out, it's cool.

if we'd assume the adult timeline happened no matter if the other timelines happened in the same vain then Hyrule castle was destroyed by Ganondorf with the events of Ocarina of time's final Battle the town's decay would have been inevitable. Not only Hyrule castle was destroyed but the market too and the temple of time. Centuries later Hyrule was flooded too before Windwaker happened, we still have no explanation as to how and why that happened.
In botw the dragons are named based off of the 3 goddesses' names and the springs are based in places with similar names like "mount lanayru" for the spring of power represented by goddess naydra
The spring on Lanayru is the one of Wisdom, but the Spring of Power is in Eldin, and in both games it's close to the path of Dinrall; which have their association with the Goddess Din, of the Triforce of Power. Similarly, Naydra in Lanayru with the Spring of Wisdom and their association with Nayru, the Goddess of the Triforce of Wisdom; and Farosh close to the Faron Woods with the Spring of Courage and their association with the Goddess Farore, of the Triforce of Courage.
Eldin (old Din), Lanayru (old Nayru), Faron (of Farore)... Dinral (Dins Dragon), Naydra (Nayrus Dragon), Farosh (Dragon of Farore)... In Twilight Princess, the regions the Deity Spirits reside, are named after such Spirits; Eldin, Lanayru, Faron, and Ordona (Ordona being; "old Ordon" confirming a fourth patron deity) There is precedent for a fourth God, that being of Time. And with the new information in ToTK, Zeldas Sage powers callback to Ocarina of Time, when she was first depicted as a Sage of Time (where Rauru is The Sage of Light... hmm, another ToTK connection). The world powers are split amongst four deities. But because the Kanji for four in Japanese is VERY closely related to the same word for evil/demon/otherwise negative emotions, it's inclusion is subverted, not disincluded. Hidden or tucked away, but still a VERY prominent power that makes multiple appearances in notable releases. Basically, Nintendo is confirming the Tetraforce without explicitly stating as such because, superstition.
The fourth should be the penaforce of empathy and have it be the driving force behind Malaces eternal hatered maybe he disagreed with his sister goddesses about creating the world feeling all the pain and suffering a mortal world would make. They shunned him from creation then and he hates them and it for it.

Enjoying these zelda videos, I never even made the connection between skyloft an the forgotten temple an I'm disappointed in myself 😂 good video nonetheless
=( you used to be at the top of my feeds. Every time you posted a video your name would come up. But now I gotta come looking. It's crazy how much the algo god demands tribute. You're still in the game, Saria. Don't give up. Growth is a little slower but you're still growing. You have to feed the algo god his tribute. Don't go crazy making content. Just clip out your videos through YT shorts. Previews, interesting facts, etc, Feed the algo god and he spits out the recommendations.
Here's a theory abiut the pattern of three changing to the pattern of four: The previous games are the altered histories. As in, someone rewrote the textbooks and hide the original recounts so everything had the pattern of three. But now with 4 "non-hyrulian-like" species, there's a pattern of four, but the history can't be fixed. Also the Zora and Rito exist together because Hyrule Warriors merged the timelines.
Dear saria and anyone reading i hope all is well. I just want to say that Jesus Christ loves and cares for you. If you haven't done so please accept Him as your savior and Lord. And remember to enjoy and cherish all that is good and right in life for we only get one life and we don't know what tomorrow will bring.

Exactly
Ganon*
The hyrule in ocarina of time is different then the hyrule on botw there in two different places
Not really sure, but I think that depends on it's placement in the timeline. I think only WW timeline has a different Hyrule.
They also chose to build the new castle on top of Ganondorf to make sure nothing disturbed him.

Because of this pronunciation the number 4 has been considered unlucky or evil in some areas of the country. Like the number 13 is in the west.

the castle was rebuilt on top of the sealed body of ganondorf. the three dragons are possibly the ancient zonai sages of wisdom, courage and power, and there is evidence in zonai ruins and armour sets that they were worshipped by the zonai.
Subbed!
Something i never understood is that the goddess hylia seems to be ever present in breath of the wild with people prying to her and the statues of her seemingly being able to talk and give power but…..hylia doesn’t exist anymore..because she became zelda in skyward sword…right?
yes technically Zelda is Hylia in human form. But the game is never specific on how public that knowledge is. It definitely seems like something Zelda (Hylia) may want to keep a secret
@@fishfood1117 I mean yes that is very true I doubt anyone would know but I was more reffering to well who's voice speaks to you through the statues and grants you hearts and stamina
@@dshaynietheawesome that is a good point.. i dont have a theory on that lol
Hylia is the goddess mother, Zelda is the goddess daughter, and [redacted] is the goddess holy ghost...
There’s some additions I’d like to add here:
In second chapter, the highly suspected fourth goddess has a representative in Twilight Princess, named Ordona. Also, the Forgotten Temple should not even exist as Temple of Time was built over it’s ruins once.
In Third chapter, the ruins around Temple of Time closely resemble the castle town of Ocarina of Time, so it possibly is the old Hyrule Castle Town.
I always had the theory that with the layout of the ruins of the great plateau and the temple of time, alongside the giant bulging chunk of land it sits on that it was swapped with the great hyrule forest.
It seems like the land moved was bigger than the great hyrule forest and they built a retaining wall to keep the soil in/build the divine beast under it. It would make sense knowing the placement of OOT castle town and it's map in relation to death mountain and would explain the moat around great hyrule forest as over 10,000 years passed by and it filled with rainwater more than likely.
Why it would be swapped is beyond me but with the castle rising in TOTK I hope my theory gets confirmed
also the devs confirmed they swapped Kakariko with the lost woods

My favorite (false) head cannon is Calamity Gannon converted the majority of Hyrule's people into monsters [forcing Link to slay them]. However, this is false for three reasons: 1) Devs said NPCs gave away too much of the plot; 2) Open area was maximized to give BotW an epic outdoor feeling; 3) Devs have a policy of multi-use mechanics and features [to maximize processor power].
Ive heard that macar island could be level 1 from zelda 1
According to Creating A Champion ( basically the Breath of the Wild concept art book), the Forgotten Temple was initially intended to be a sort of "Hero Hall of Fame". This idea was obviously not used but does kinda explain the statue and Loftwing motif.
I don't think the fact that one needs four orbs for a heart container/stamina is proof of the tetraforce. With the exception of Twilight Princess where you needed five, you've always needed four heart pieces to complete a heart container. The orbs are merely a replacement of that.
I mean if the temple of time was a sky island that fell, it would kind of make sense as being the "origin of hyrule" in a literal like... birthplace to the world kinda way
Why unit say “homage” like that 😭
What a grat video. Im currently playing Tears of the Kingdom and i've been avoiding videos that spoils me the story and sites.
I miss seen videos of Zelda lore and theories, and this video is soo much pleasant to me.
Thanx. You have my like and my suscribe. Greetings from El Salvador.
I believe
Hylia the Goddess of time is the fourth piece of triforce that left her power imbued into objects such as The Ocarina of Time. And in Zelda Ocarina of Time. The three great fairy springs, where connected to the three goddess’s and their gifts for the Hero of time. Connecting those springs to the triforce. Those springs seem to move if I remember correctly between child an adult.
Don't forget the three great faerie fountains and the horse god.
Considering they erased and rewrote the timeline for BotW and TotK...
All the easter eggs are irrelevant to the overall timeline NOW.
The so-called Tetra-Force has been debunked and denied by Nintendo so much that they even removed the fourth triangle from all future incarnations of the Hylian shield. It was just a weird artistic design choice for the shield that Nintendo now regrets because fans are making ridiculous off the wall theories about a tiny triangle on a shield.
The forgotten Temple goddess statue is confirmed to be the same as the giant goddess statue in Skykeep that crushed Demise at the end of Skyward sword.
Nintendo is very notorious for putting Easter eggs alluding to past games in their games. The problem is that they are terrible at connecting the continuity of everything. I mean... TOTK barley even feels like a sequel because of all of the continuity errors. It completely takes me out of the game when the NPCs Link spent a long time with in BOTW don't remember him at all.
I wonder sometimes if the devs have actual writers on the team?
After all programmers and game designers have more than enough to do already and would not really have time to commit to the story itself.
Don’t visit Mekar Island in TOTK 😳
cyberpunk 2077 seems to generate some clicks. I just bought it last week. honestly, I'm not in love with it. Even if it's exactly the type of game I would like on paper. Its kinda meh. But I did notice that a lot of videos for that game seem to generate a lot of views. RPG and has a lot of lore you can pick apart. Check it out if you haven't already. Even way smaller channels generate videos with 100k+ views.
would take me longer to make those videos due to the lack on knowledge on that game
sorry ;((
@@sarialue no need to apologize. As long as you're not uploading videos of you kicking puppies into the river i'm going to be here to click that like and watch your video.
You don't have to do anything. If you don't want to check the game out, it's cool. I'm just trying to put you on to games that have large online communities so you can profit and keep growing your channel. I just want you to win, Saria.
if we'd assume the adult timeline happened no matter if the other timelines happened in the same vain then Hyrule castle was destroyed by Ganondorf with the events of Ocarina of time's final Battle the town's decay would have been inevitable. Not only Hyrule castle was destroyed but the market too and the temple of time. Centuries later Hyrule was flooded too before Windwaker happened, we still have no explanation as to how and why that happened.
Loving the Zelda videos!
In botw the dragons are named based off of the 3 goddesses' names and the springs are based in places with similar names like "mount lanayru" for the spring of power represented by goddess naydra
The one on mount lanayru is the spring of wisdom
The spring on Lanayru is the one of Wisdom, but the Spring of Power is in Eldin, and in both games it's close to the path of Dinrall; which have their association with the Goddess Din, of the Triforce of Power.
Similarly, Naydra in Lanayru with the Spring of Wisdom and their association with Nayru, the Goddess of the Triforce of Wisdom; and Farosh close to the Faron Woods with the Spring of Courage and their association with the Goddess Farore, of the Triforce of Courage.
Eldin (old Din), Lanayru (old Nayru), Faron (of Farore)...
Dinral (Dins Dragon), Naydra (Nayrus Dragon), Farosh (Dragon of Farore)...
In Twilight Princess, the regions the Deity Spirits reside, are named after such Spirits; Eldin, Lanayru, Faron, and Ordona (Ordona being; "old Ordon" confirming a fourth patron deity)
There is precedent for a fourth God, that being of Time. And with the new information in ToTK, Zeldas Sage powers callback to Ocarina of Time, when she was first depicted as a Sage of Time (where Rauru is The Sage of Light... hmm, another ToTK connection).
The world powers are split amongst four deities. But because the Kanji for four in Japanese is VERY closely related to the same word for evil/demon/otherwise negative emotions, it's inclusion is subverted, not disincluded. Hidden or tucked away, but still a VERY prominent power that makes multiple appearances in notable releases.
Basically, Nintendo is confirming the Tetraforce without explicitly stating as such because, superstition.
The fourth should be the penaforce of empathy and have it be the driving force behind Malaces eternal hatered maybe he disagreed with his sister goddesses about creating the world feeling all the pain and suffering a mortal world would make. They shunned him from creation then and he hates them and it for it.
She sounds like iluminaughty
It's hyrules castlevania.
i think the confusing and nonsensicalness of the Zelda series makes it great for endless speculation honestly
The "H" in homage is silent.
IT’S NAMED AFTER HIM.
I always thought the tree on makar island was Makar himself after death he turned into a tree
Hmm, this calls back the Deku Butlers son. If you hadn't beat Majoras Mask, or seen its cutscenes, might be worth a look in regards to your theory ^_^
@@swizzamane8775 Majora's mask was the first Zelda game I ever played.
@@SiriusCygnus i'm sure it was obvious, but Ocarina of Time here, lol.
My mom refused to let me play until she beat it first.. not to check if was a bad game... just didnt want me to beat it before her, because i always beat their mario games super fast xD and had to help my dad with Ratchet and Clank, lol
@@swizzamane8775 woah. That's way too similar to my circumstances too lol
The Majora's mask was originally my mom's and she gave it to me cause I ended up beating her save on super Mario 3 for the GBA
@@swizzamane8775 tho I wasn't into ratchet and clank and more of a fan of the Jak and Daxter games. I literally named my cats after them lol.
And my dads been ghost since I was a baby.
There is also a mention of the Triforce of Time in the first game.
Tetra would mean 5? No?
Penta means 5. Tetra means 4.
Neat
Enjoying these zelda videos, I never even made the connection between skyloft an the forgotten temple an I'm disappointed in myself 😂 good video nonetheless
good vids but that news reporter style isnt fun lol
=(
you used to be at the top of my feeds. Every time you posted a video your name would come up. But now I gotta come looking. It's crazy how much the algo god demands tribute. You're still in the game, Saria. Don't give up. Growth is a little slower but you're still growing. You have to feed the algo god his tribute. Don't go crazy making content. Just clip out your videos through YT shorts. Previews, interesting facts, etc, Feed the algo god and he spits out the recommendations.
Here's a theory abiut the pattern of three changing to the pattern of four:
The previous games are the altered histories. As in, someone rewrote the textbooks and hide the original recounts so everything had the pattern of three. But now with 4 "non-hyrulian-like" species, there's a pattern of four, but the history can't be fixed.
Also the Zora and Rito exist together because Hyrule Warriors merged the timelines.
Dear saria and anyone reading i hope all is well. I just want to say that Jesus Christ loves and cares for you. If you haven't done so please accept Him as your savior and Lord. And remember to enjoy and cherish all that is good and right in life for we only get one life and we don't know what tomorrow will bring.
Ganon futtbucked the castle a few times, so they had to rebuild
