    You know, with only the context of the first game, Impa's decision to entrust Zelda's life and the fate of the entire kingdom to some random 10 years old might seems weird. But her family's been serving the royal line for generations, she's no fool, she knows the legends. A young boy in a green tunic? Yup, that's exactly the guy we need.

      Personally i always assumed the manual made it clear that "Link" was a Chosen One archetype character given he had zero trouble defeating the Moblins who were chasing after Impa who was searching for a young man with the Courage to banish Ganon from Hyrule and rescue Zelda from his grasp. By simply reading the manual i already had the impression that he was a legendary Hero destined to save Zelda as part of some god given destiny of which he was always meant to be a part of.

    For Twilight Princess, it could also be assumed that she's not old enough to be Queen yet, so while she is the sole ruler (tho likely had advisors), she would still be a Princess. Kinda like in Frozen where Elsa had to wait like 3 years after her parents died to officially inherit the title.

      I'm personally under the impression that "Kingdom of Hyrule" is just what it's known as by the people in and around it, even if it doesn't have a reigning king and thus, by definition, can't be a kingdom. Constantly juggling between "Kingdom" and "Principality" based on whether it was her dad or Zelda herself running the show would just get confusing.

    Remember that Vaati is himself a Minish, so they'd have their own legends about the events of the past, ie Skyward Sword. it all depends on who the Minish really are and where they came from, but they might simply not have known about Hylia's reincarnation, and made up their own story to explain the royal family's holy powers.

    • @javiervasquez625
      @javiervasquez625 Год назад +6

      ¿Didn't the Minish come "from the Sky" according to the Minish Cap prologue? With such a backstory and their role in the introduction of the Four Sword and the mysterious "Light Force" which are both implied to be of divine origin like the Triforce one would assume they would have an even larger understanding of what's been happening in the Zelda world to miss on the detail regarding Hylia incarnating herself into a mortal being. Hopefully Tears of the Kingdom will address this mystery during the course of the story.

      @@javiervasquez625I think it could go both ways. Whether or not they were around to personally see everything, there’s a lot of Minish, and I don’t think they were shown to perfectly relay all information one might have, especially over generations. When history passes to legend, the details get muddled, and the end result may barely resemble historical fact.

      I also have a theory, merging with yours to make more sense, that after the creation of the downfall timeline someone, maybe Zelda, used the ocarina to prevent this but only got just before Link pull the master sword so just made sure to save his live and following the idea it could be child Zelda, later being Sheik to guide him in his quest

But there wasn't enough time or resources, so it had to be scrapped, but the remnants survived as a series of Zelda-centric cutscenes in the credits.

Mind you King Daphness is an exception among the kings for already knowing firsthand the danger Ganondorf posed leading him to show complete support of her daughter as she fled to the tall islands to keep the Royal Family's bloodline alive.

    My favourite theory about the Fallen Timeline; that was the original timeline, but Zelda in the future there sent a message/warning to the past. This message got to OT Zelda in her dream, which is how you get the two new splits of Adult and Child. As the dream changed how she and link acted.

    • @javiervasquez625
      @javiervasquez625 Год назад +1

      While it does sound cool on paper it also makes the timeline even more convoluted than ever before by opening the question as to how many "future messages" have been sent from future Zeldas to their predecessors creating an endless amounts of timesplits across different games leading to an *infinity* of timesplits of which we know nothing about. If this ever everr to become true that would make The Legend of Zelda the most convoluted fictional universe in all of Human History.

    You missed that in Skyward Sword, two Zeldas exist as well. At the beginning of the game, you can see the crystal in which Zelda will later sleep already in the temple, when you enter it with the current timeline Zelda. The current timeline Zelda will later enter her sleep within the crystal, while the old Zelda (that has been sleeping in the crystal already, when the game starts) will awake and rejoin link in the present.

Spirit Zelda was so funny and spunky and had such character growth, Worlds Zelda was so intelligent, empathetic and kind, and Hilda was so facinating!

    9:52 The Triforce split when Link was sent back by Zelda (seen by the mark on his hand in the OOT post credits), he already had the Triforce of courage so the existing Triforce in the child timeline split and went to their respective owners and transferred through the bloodline to the Twilight Princess descendants.

      My question is since Link is returned to the Temple of Time before he originally met Zelda, the door of time shouldn't be open yet. I'm sure Sacred magic can be responsible, but since Link isn't sealed away yet, is there another pre-timetl travel Link and Navi running around, ir are they vanished from existence wherever they are on their adventure and replaced by the new arrivals from the Adult Timeline?

    About TP Zelda: it's entirely possible for her to still be a princess while being the ruling regent. She may not be of age to actually be Queen. Since she associated with the Triforce of Wisdom, it's likely that someone did rule as regent for a time before ceding control to Zelda as she grew.

    The hero fell from grace by protecting power from wisdom , instead of the other way.
    And because he's the one if that determines if the creation is worth saving , it got flooded.

    So this video brings up an interesting thought. Is the King of Hyrule a cursed-to-repeat character as well? Obviously sometimes it's Link himself, but when it's not, they all fit into an archetype of bushy-bearded, blustering, impotent kings. Might this be a sort of spiritual descendancy of Gaepora? Is it a recurring temperament of "Link's son"? I dunno but it's fun to think about.

    I pray to Hylia that Wild Zelda doesn’t die in Tears of the Kingdom… even if it means breaking Demise’s Curse. If she does die. Not only I would throw myself off the besiege or devastates Link because of their bond they have shared. But because the promise Link has made to Gerudo Chief Urbosa to look after her “little bird”.

      @@Chris-gx1ei it could still break the curse, though. Demise curses the blood of the goddess AND the spirit of the hero all in one go. It could be possible that having half of his curse gone would break it, since he cursed them both at once rather separately.
      That does bring another question up that I’ve asked myself ever since SS came out: why in the world didn’t they just wish on the Triforce for the curse to be lifted? If it grants the wishes of those with a pure heart, theoretically it would be possible. It doesn’t make much sense that Demise’s curse is more powerful than the Triforce, because if he had that power, he wouldn’t need the Triforce in the first place lol

    The easiest response as why TP Zelda and Ganon had the triforce: blame OoT Zelda.
    When Link was sent back at the end of the game, the rightful ownership of the triforce of courage went with him, breaking the one in the adult timeline in the process.
    The child timeline triforce splits, and lies dormant. Ganondorf awakes his as a last ditch effort during the execution. Zelda's (inherited by bloodline) awakens when engulfed by the twilight. And Link's (by legacy or bloodline, depending if he's an actual descendant) encourages him since before the start of the game.

    • @nillynush4899
      @nillynush4899 Год назад

      This, but I would say that as soon as the Child Timeline was created the Triforce pieces split and went to their most deserving hosts. Link kept the Courage piece in the Child timeline and would pass it on by blood (as opposed to reincarnation) unto the days of Twilight Princess. Child Zelda would of course be the most fit for the Wisdom piece, and regardless of when it awakened, it would be passed on by blood to future Zeldas. We already know what happens with the final piece, Ganondorf summons the Triforce of Power during the final death throes of his execution, and he is hurled into the "Dark World" by the sages until the events of Twilight Princess.

    There's like, 5 times where Z & L are implied to smoosh booty at the end. But repeatedly, the descendants of the princess become the new Zelda and descendants of the hero becomes the new Link... Who then save the world and occasionally smoosh booty... So either previous Z & L never really works out, OR the new Z & L are actually cousins and Hyrule is like some sort of Hyru-alabama of Hapsburgs

      All the Zeldas are related because they possess the blood of Hylia, but the Links possess the “spirit” of the hero. If Link and Zelda had children together, that would merely continue Hylia’s bloodline. A future Link would come from a different family.

    I tossed it into comments so many times that I always smile when you mention Zelda from AoL, and that there were two of them at a time.😊 It's always nice when the older Zelda games ar least get walked out, and dusted off, because so many current fans, and content creators, are younger folks, and probably never played them, but ad an 80s kid, and someone who loved Zelda since LoZ on NES, it always brings me joy!

    From what I remember about the original 2 LoZ, Zelda from the first game vanishes after being saved. When Link asks Impa about it she reveals the being was merely a ghost of the Real Zelda who is asleep in the first palace. In order to save her, Link must regain the Triforce of Courage, because in the first game all that was gained was the Triforce of Wisdom in the first play through and the Triforce of Power in the second.
    I might be having a Mandela moment, but I remember the story wasn't just in the manual. It was scattered on the box and in game as well.

    great video!! 2 notes: Twilight Zelda would traditionally be called princess until she either gets married or chooses to remain celibate. Second note/ mini theory: If Link hadn't returned his piece of the triforce by the time of being sent back in time. the triforce could have split to compensate once he had returned, thus the triforce of courage lying with the bloodline of the hero, and the other pieces splitting off to Zelda and Ganondorf.

And the Shrine was running out of power and woke him up as otherwise he would have died in there?

      Unlikely considering Zelda's voice calling for his name in the darkness that was his recovery induced slumber. Zelda was indeed the one responsible for awakening Link as she has already done this before in at least one previous game (A Link to the Past) for Breath of the Wild to not follow the formula. It wouldn't surprise me if in Tears of the Kingdom Zelda was also the one to awake Link as the story kicksoff.

That is if she is dead.
