My community and I have chosen not to look at the art book - so if you have seen it, please do not comment on this. We’re trying to keep the game as spoiler free as possible, only doing speculation on what Nintendo has released in trailers. Please be respectful of this! 😀
That's fine, but I've seen the artbook and it opens up 100,000,000 more questions with 0 definitive answers. Notice that the initial "OMG SPOILERS" trend has died down and people are still complaining that not enough of TOTK has been shown. The whole artbook thing was overblown. However, I wont say anything else about it.
@@Molybed1 Yeah it was overblown. It doesn't seem super spoilery, but that's because there's no context. But yeah I looked at it because Nintendo wasn't showing much and I got tired of having the same RIVETING conversation that had been going on for months lol. I don't regret looking at it at all. In fact, I recommend it. It makes speculation much more interesting imo.
Of course! But like others have said, it really I didn’t show much of anything that we haven’t already seen, and what was new has no context. I was expecting some full blown spoilers like bosses or dungeons, but nope! If people check it out, it won’t feel like theyre spoiling the game for themselves
The answers to your question in the video are in the art book. That’s the only thing I could say, although the art book creates more questions not related to yours. This game will be more complex than though.
I’m so excited to see all this game has to offer! I hope the story is going to be great. Appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
Why do we assume that the barbarian armor is Zonai armor? Just because it comes from the Faron region doesn't mean it's Zonai armor. In fact, it is incongruous with an advanced magic-wielding technologically advanced society. The soldiers shown in the trailer aren't wearing barbarian armor, if they are Zonai soldiers.
I think it’s just because it’s too weird for it to be there, and not be the Zonai. As far as the constructs, I think that they are an enemy created by the Zonai, hence the name “construct”. But, you’re right. The armor itself doesn’t say “Zonai” it’s just a big assumption. Imagine if when the game comes out, it’s another race we’ve never heard of. 😳 thanks for watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
I've been think a theory similar to this for a while now too. I believe the hand sealing Ganondorf down is that long eared rabbit-like creature which we thought was the Goddess Hylia. This is the same being who grants you their powers and I'm 99% sure they are a Zonai deity for some sort (perhaps just a Zonai?) I don't necessarily think they are in the storm cloud island though. I think this Deity is going to be "with" you for the whole game since you have their hand. Also, the devs said the title of the game would give away too much. I think the title of the game refers to the Kingdom of the Zonai, not Hyrule. We will learn more about their history likely and the Deity will be a major character. Other than that, I'm not sure what the specific details will be.
Ooo I love all your points! I definitely think the hand and the rabbit eared creature are the same. Their arms look too similar. I hadn’t thought of them going with us through the whole game since we do have their arm. That would be so awesome!! I also really love your point about the Kingdom being the Zonai Kingdom (aka the sky islands I think). That’s something I think a lot of us have looked over. Great great theory! Appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
@@ourradiantgaming and I think that rabbit eared person is Rauru. I'm willing to explain, but unsure if you would like me to mention leaks in your comment section (aka: the book that has art in it...)
Also, I think the idea that the titular Kingdom as the Zonai kingdom is brilliant! It's right there in front of us, but it's understandable we would presume they're referring to Hyrule. Great stuff!
I think the Zonai are the ancient race that Hylia came from, they were the ones on the ground from the very beginning. Hylia raised them up to Skyloft where she became a deity to the remaining people who because Hylians. I think that the creature in the artwork is Hylia, and the exaggerated ears and everything is just her flowing hair- which we’ve the Zonai girl character have. I think she is Zelda, and Zelda is her. I think we’ll see Demise and Hylia’s very first battle
Yea so this game is going to be amazing, i think we are going to see more studio ghibli themes such as Howls moving castle, Link looks exactly like him and Howl fuses his soul to a powerful entity, giving him magic power but with a transformation ability into a flying Creature. Link turns into this Zonai at full power
I agree! Man, that’s so awesome, too! I hope we see a lot of this stuff in the game. There’s so many awesome theories. Appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
This game is based on the Ghibli movie “Castle in the Sky” and in that movie there is a storm around a floating island that the characters need to fly through and crash. It’s probably going to be similar in the game.
you're right, the more you know about other franchises, the more you see more and more references in newer works, the malice at first glance might seem like the infection from princess monoke, but all of how it works, how it looks, and even having eyes and forming corrupted versions is literally copied from the Invaders from Getter Robo, one of the oldest and most popular franchises, that inspired every other combining robot in the world, so it's no surprise that both Zelda and tv shows like TTGL or amphibia are heavily inspired on those enemies, there are many other franchises with the same or even more impact on the video games, there is a lot of copies around the industry, but since most people don't like watching anything older, they'll think that everything is new
Ooo I’ve never watched Castle in the Sky, but that would be an awesome part for this game! Imagine we ride a dragon or something to that sky island and crashing it! I’d feel so cool! Thanks for watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
I just wanna confirm, and maybe I'm being too literal here (and no this isn't related to the artbook at all), but at 0:33 you say "assume is Zelda" and again at 1:16 "assume this is Zelda" Yet the person being depicted at the time your showing it... I've never heard ANYONE assume it's Zelda xD. Like, it's 10000% clearly Ganondorf. Mind you, I am once again referring to the image being shown at 0:33 and 1:16 when you say "assume is Zelda", the person kind of floating on their side with their hair flowing down. This is the same pose (in carving form) that we see mummy Ganondorf in the original trailer. It also has much longer hair than Zelda has had or currently has, is much thicker (similar to the thickness of the mummy Ganondorf hair), and let's not forget the very obvious jewel on the head. I like the idea and theory you're going for in general, but... I again have no idea where you're getting "and another character we can only assume is Zelda" when it's just so clearly not Zelda and is Ganondorf or the same depiction of the mummy Ganondorf xD
The main reason I say that is because in the mummified Ganondorf from the 2019 trailer, his ears are that of a normal human, and in the prophecy depiction, the ears are pointy and “elf like” like that of Zelda’s! I had mentioned that in one of my previous videos, but I probably should’ve mentioned that further in this one. Appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
That would be the dopest thing if you could like shrink and then walk through Giant's high rule would make the game so much more huge. The wave his face looks with the long ears looks just like a minish to me
This is a strange theory, but I wonder if Link is part Zonai. What if the depiction of the Zonai creature and "Zelda" is actually symbolic for a marriage between a Zonai and a Hylian? Maybe Link's deformed hand was the awakening of his Zonai blood as a way to heal the injury from the malice that attacked him. Maybe he is uniquely compatible with Zonai abilities because he has some Zonai ancestry? My thoughts are pretty scattered, but I tried haha. On an unrelated note, it would be really cool if time travel and musical instruments made a come back. In the case of time travel, I'm thinking particularly of the timeshift stones from Skyward Sword. BOTW's Hyrule had so many ruins (Zonai, Forgotten Temple, Deya Village, various outposts, etc), that it would be neat to use a timeshift stone to rediscover those locations in their prime.
That’s a great theory! I understand about your thoughts being scattered, too. 😂 Anytime I have a theory, I’m like, “Woah, this could mean this! Oh wait, no it can’t. But maybe!” 😂 I also would love to see time shift come back as well as instruments! I think restoring those ruins to see what they looked like would be amazing. Even just seeing the castle without malice all around it would be awesome! Appreciate you watching and commenting, have an awesome day, and God bless!
What if this is the living being behind the spirit of the hero? We know Hylia was kinda human shaped and reincarnated in Zelda but we don’t know who was that one being whose unbreakable spirit reincarnated in Link, we just know it did since Skyward Sword. We know Zelda is Hylia reincarnated, we know Ganondorf is Demise reincarnated but we don’t know who TF Link is reincarnating from.
You’re right! And there’s tons of theories that this game will take place before SS. I haven’t seen anyone mention the spirit behind Link, either. You may be onto something! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
@@ourradiantgaming It came to me as DeeBeeGeek started playing SS a few days ago and when Link gets the Goddess Sword Fi says he is the chosen one with the unbreakable spirit of the hero. On the first trailer of TotK, we see the creature on some hovering platform thingy, then we see Link calling out that bird like platform soaring the sky followed by an image of Zelda on one of the mountains and him on the right with the trailer finishing on the creature crossing hands with Zelda; Zelda being on the same position that her image on the mountain and than Link while soaring the skies. Then it might be stretching it too far but the way they were depicted crossing hands seemed low-key romantic with the two tear like symbols forming a heart. And it is kinda weird that we know who Zelda and Ganondorf really are, but we still don’t know who Link really is 🤪 I can’t wait to find out the plot of this game hahaha
@@ourradiantgaming it can't take place before SS since SS literally sets up the lore FOR Ganondorf's entire existence. And ofc the cycle of Rebirth/reincarnation AND Zelda in SS was the 1st EVER reincarnation of Hylia. Zelda never existed before Hylia and not until AFTER the events where the Hylians were sent into the sky. That's a dumb theory xD
If Zelda herself is Hylia in the flesh, maybe the mysterious figure is Farore. Maybe the patron deity of the Zonai warrior race. Or maybe the saiyans are coming to Hyrule.
That would explain why these enemies with the Zonai charge are so mysterious! Haha. That would be crazy. That opens up so many doors. 😳😂 appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
I'm hoping there are strong ties to the Twilli and TP (TP was one of my favorite Zelda games prior to BotW) ....but I'd also point unless they're trying to fake us out, the ending of last actual trailer's audio was *CLEARLY* a callback to TP too. It used the same exact sound scheme as the warping mechanic from TP. And I've barely seen anyone really talking about/pointing that out much, which blows my mind!
@@ourradiantgaming I should clarify it's not the very end (it's before that slow-mo of Link), but it's just before that when the new green circular dragon logo is rendered.
to be fair, without going in to details, we know (from the book) what the translated "name" is. But being that this is so far in the future, and many characters have shared names of different variations in the franchise, it doesn't mean we actually know "who" the character is yet :).
is it just me or do the zonia look almost like male gerudo and thats why there are no male gerudo anywhere else because they evolved and became zonia we have seen this in other places where the rito evolves from being zora
I hadn’t even thought of that! Clearly they’re wanting to play on the Zonai so much in this game, so that would be a crazy way to do that! Ganondorf being the only male Gerudo, then of course, they ban all men. Then the men turned into the Zonai after that. Great theory! Appreciate you watching and commenting, have an awesome day, and God bless!
I think the figure with zonai cloathing is zelda or looks like zelda in some way, we see link giving his hand to it mirroring how the game starts where link tries to grab zeldas hand as she falls. Maybe its zeldas ghost or hylia or the mirror of zelda but s clearly supposed to mirror link and zelda at the start of the game. I also think hylia will play some part in the story, we see a fourth dragon in the sky islands, each dragon represents a godess, this being the fourth my take is it represents hylia, which implies that the sky islands are in some way her domain, which makes sense sinse in skyward sword we see that skyloft is a sky island and is "protected by godess hylia". Hylia is also the godess of time and some of links new abilities, like rewind, are clossly related to time manipulation. In terms of the ouroboros in the logo, we know that it is a symbol that is supposed to represent a loop or infinity. This one has two serpents, one ending where the other one starts. The one thing that always repeats is the re-encarnation cycle of the hero and zelda(avatar of the gadess) maybe this cycle is about to change into a new form of it self. we know that hylia re-encarnates into zelda but maybe zelda is destined to turn into hylia aswell, and the zelda time line is just one half of a repeating cycle thats about zelda instead of hylia. At the start of skyward sword the first "Zelda game" we know that hylia fought the demon king, their powers were godly and it took all races to aid hylia in battle, maybe this is what we're seeing, at first hylia became mortal because the fight could no longer be fough on godhood alone, now we see that malice is stronger than ever, even stronger than the master sword, the sky islands are falling, rifts of malice are opening up from the ground bringing new monsters. Maybe this is the transition into an era where mortality can no longer fight this battle and zelda must turn into the godess and link into her hero, starting over all of the events from the great war that hylia fought up until the start of skyward sword.
Something else thats very interesting is the sheikah's conection to the zonai. The sheikah's technology is very old but the zonai are even older to the point of being forgoten to an even bigger extend than the sheikah. Yet both are incredibly similar in deisgn and in function. The sheikah ancient technology is powered by blue light thats supposed to be devine energy and we see that zonai technology is powered by grenish teal energy. In the trailer we see that when a construct is defeated it drops a "zonai charge" that looks almost identical but more advanged. we can also see that when link uses the hands power, the light starts off blue but turns green as is extends, meaning that they might not be that different. We know that the Sheikah is serve the avatar of the godess, maybe the zonai are the sheikah but for hylia herself.
it odd because the colors also mirror link. At first he gets the champions tunic in blue because he is the hero of zelda, just like the sheika technically serve zelda and are blue, and the sheika aid link. But in this new game we see that link has a green toga or tunic, which represents his transition into being the hero and on the side of Hylia in this game
"Zelda Tears of The Kingdom" make you assume it refers to Hylia kingdom, but this made me think it might refer to "tears of the Zonai kingdom." Do they carry some regrets? On another note: lol dwemers.
I think Tears of the Zonai Kingdom could easily be what the name could refer to! One interesting thing, too, is when you finish a shrine in BOTW, it says “you must right the wrongs of Hyrule”. That could tie into how the Zonai Kingdom and Hyrule come together. Very interesting! Appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
One thing I noticed recently was that in trailer 2, when the hieroglyphic resembling Zelda is making the hand gesture with presumably the levitating being you focused on in the video, the hand of that being appears to have long, talon like nails not unlike link’s new arm. I’m also wondering if this being bestows the power of the arm on Link or is directly connected to the arm in some way.
It definitely does seem that way! That arm, the arm holding Ganon in the 2019 trailer, as well as Link’s new are all look identical. That’s makes everything seem so crazy. 😅 Good eye for catching that! Appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
In terms of the Faron region cross referenced with lightning, a key thing you didn't cross reference/mention is that the dragon of prominence in the Faron region (which is the main/key Zonal ruins area) is Farosh, who is notable as a lightning/electric spirit.
That’s a possibility! The new trailer seemed to show off a bunch of different tears on different characters, so I’m not sure that that’ll be the case. It’s still so mysterious what they’re used for. 🫣
its midna im telling you man, look at her full form her headdress has those ear like things on, and the swirls on her cloak...the same swirls that is in the "hair" on the figure edit: wasnt there a theory going around that the zonai ended up being the interlopers from TP and became the twili >.> just saying
Man!! That would be crazy! And yeah, you’re right! There’s been a theory that the Twili would be in this game from the moment the 2019 trailer was released. That would be insane! Haha. Appreciate you watching, have an awesome day, and God bless!
That would be insane! From what I understand, the Zonai were a humanoid race! So I could totally see Hylia being a Zonai. Maybe this is Hylia AND a Zonai 😳
I think that’s the craziest thing! We don’t even know if this being will be evil or good 😳 any of the points you made could be true! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
Thank you! I have always thought this was the 3rd and final god. The God that will be associated with courage. Hylia is the God of wisdom. Demise the God of power and courage has never had a God.
Farore is the goddess of Courage/Wind, Nayru is the goddess of Wisdom/Water, and Din is the goddess of Power/Fire. Hylia's domain has never been officially confirmed but heavily implied to be of time. The three parts of the Triforce are representative of the Creation Goddesses' powers, Hylia was left behind to guard it and protect the Hylian people. Not sure where you got that from, because that is not canon.
@Cameron Widner you don't understand what I'm saying. Yes I get farore Nauru and din being the respective goddesses but Demise is reincarnated into Ganon all the time and he always gets the triforce of power. Hylia turned herself human to become Zelda who always gets wisdom. But Link is just supposed to be Hylia's little helper that always get courage? It seems oddly unbalanced. It would make sense that there would be an elusive 3rd god besides Hylia and Demise. One that hopefully this game introduces to expand the story of the Zelda franchise. It's a speculation about what's to come...
You’re right! It’d make sense for this being to be the god of courage. I’m so excited to see what’s to come! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
That would be interesting if that was abilities instead of tears! I could totally see that being the case, too! 😳 appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!

😳😳 that’s a great theory! Hadn’t even thought of the 8 arms. Appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
@@ourradiantgaming thank you for sharing your theories! Take care
Did the Zonai upload themselves to these constructs like ai or soul infusion? More speculation lol
That would explain why these enemies with the Zonai charge are so mysterious! Haha. That would be crazy. That opens up so many doors. 😳😂 appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
dude i know who it is from the art book but i cant say anything :(
Thanks for not spoiling! We appreciate it! I’m excited to find out who it is. Haha
2:17 also the twili from twilight princess are most likely the zonai i suggest to look into it
I’ve heard that theory! It’s super interesting! 😳 appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
I'm hoping there are strong ties to the Twilli and TP (TP was one of my favorite Zelda games prior to BotW) ....but I'd also point unless they're trying to fake us out, the ending of last actual trailer's audio was *CLEARLY* a callback to TP too. It used the same exact sound scheme as the warping mechanic from TP. And I've barely seen anyone really talking about/pointing that out much, which blows my mind!
@@ourradiantgaming thanks You! You Have a Great Day Aswell!
I honestly didn’t catch that! I’d love to see more TP references! I’m glad you pointed that out!
@@ourradiantgaming I should clarify it's not the very end (it's before that slow-mo of Link), but it's just before that when the new green circular dragon logo is rendered.
What if it is not two people merging together, but two split timelines…
That’s a huge possibility!! Honestly, that would be pretty cool. Appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
Excuse the voice texting hyrule
I know who it is but I won’t say here
I appreciate you keeping it to yourself! I’m excited to find out when the game releases!
to be fair, without going in to details, we know (from the book) what the translated "name" is. But being that this is so far in the future, and many characters have shared names of different variations in the franchise, it doesn't mean we actually know "who" the character is yet :).
is it just me or do the zonia look almost like male gerudo and thats why there are no male gerudo anywhere else because they evolved and became zonia we have seen this in other places where the rito evolves from being zora
I hadn’t even thought of that! Clearly they’re wanting to play on the Zonai so much in this game, so that would be a crazy way to do that! Ganondorf being the only male Gerudo, then of course, they ban all men. Then the men turned into the Zonai after that. Great theory! Appreciate you watching and commenting, have an awesome day, and God bless!
I think the figure with zonai cloathing is zelda or looks like zelda in some way, we see link giving his hand to it mirroring how the game starts where link tries to grab zeldas hand as she falls. Maybe its zeldas ghost or hylia or the mirror of zelda but s clearly supposed to mirror link and zelda at the start of the game.
I also think hylia will play some part in the story, we see a fourth dragon in the sky islands, each dragon represents a godess, this being the fourth my take is it represents hylia, which implies that the sky islands are in some way her domain, which makes sense sinse in skyward sword we see that skyloft is a sky island and is "protected by godess hylia".
Hylia is also the godess of time and some of links new abilities, like rewind, are clossly related to time manipulation.
In terms of the ouroboros in the logo, we know that it is a symbol that is supposed to represent a loop or infinity. This one has two serpents, one ending where the other one starts. The one thing that always repeats is the re-encarnation cycle of the hero and zelda(avatar of the gadess) maybe this cycle is about to change into a new form of it self. we know that hylia re-encarnates into zelda but maybe zelda is destined to turn into hylia aswell, and the zelda time line is just one half of a repeating cycle thats about zelda instead of hylia.
At the start of skyward sword the first "Zelda game" we know that hylia fought the demon king, their powers were godly and it took all races to aid hylia in battle, maybe this is what we're seeing, at first hylia became mortal because the fight could no longer be fough on godhood alone, now we see that malice is stronger than ever, even stronger than the master sword, the sky islands are falling, rifts of malice are opening up from the ground bringing new monsters. Maybe this is the transition into an era where mortality can no longer fight this battle and zelda must turn into the godess and link into her hero, starting over all of the events from the great war that hylia fought up until the start of skyward sword.
Something else thats very interesting is the sheikah's conection to the zonai. The sheikah's technology is very old but the zonai are even older to the point of being forgoten to an even bigger extend than the sheikah. Yet both are incredibly similar in deisgn and in function. The sheikah ancient technology is powered by blue light thats supposed to be devine energy and we see that zonai technology is powered by grenish teal energy. In the trailer we see that when a construct is defeated it drops a "zonai charge" that looks almost identical but more advanged. we can also see that when link uses the hands power, the light starts off blue but turns green as is extends, meaning that they might not be that different. We know that the Sheikah is serve the avatar of the godess, maybe the zonai are the sheikah but for hylia herself.
@@blasandresayalagarcia3472 Skyward Sword is the origin story of the Zelda series. Before I continue, did you play Skyward Sword?
it odd because the colors also mirror link. At first he gets the champions tunic in blue because he is the hero of zelda, just like the sheika technically serve zelda and are blue, and the sheika aid link. But in this new game we see that link has a green toga or tunic, which represents his transition into being the hero and on the side of Hylia in this game
tldr: im bored and cant wait for the game to release
@@blasandresayalagarcia3472 Look up colour theory. Every colour has an opposite. The opposite of the red colour of malice is green.
"Zelda Tears of The Kingdom" make you assume it refers to Hylia kingdom, but this made me think it might refer to "tears of the Zonai kingdom." Do they carry some regrets?
On another note: lol dwemers.
I think Tears of the Zonai Kingdom could easily be what the name could refer to! One interesting thing, too, is when you finish a shrine in BOTW, it says “you must right the wrongs of Hyrule”. That could tie into how the Zonai Kingdom and Hyrule come together. Very interesting! Appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
One thing I noticed recently was that in trailer 2, when the hieroglyphic resembling Zelda is making the hand gesture with presumably the levitating being you focused on in the video, the hand of that being appears to have long, talon like nails not unlike link’s new arm. I’m also wondering if this being bestows the power of the arm on Link or is directly connected to the arm in some way.
It definitely does seem that way! That arm, the arm holding Ganon in the 2019 trailer, as well as Link’s new are all look identical. That’s makes everything seem so crazy. 😅 Good eye for catching that! Appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
Its a big blupee
Heck, you right 😳
In terms of the Faron region cross referenced with lightning, a key thing you didn't cross reference/mention is that the dragon of prominence in the Faron region (which is the main/key Zonal ruins area) is Farosh, who is notable as a lightning/electric spirit.
I didn’t catch that! You’re right, though! That’s honestly awesome. Appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
Will the tears make up the triforce?
That’s a possibility! The new trailer seemed to show off a bunch of different tears on different characters, so I’m not sure that that’ll be the case. It’s still so mysterious what they’re used for. 🫣
its midna im telling you man, look at her full form her headdress has those ear like things on, and the swirls on her cloak...the same swirls that is in the "hair" on the figure
edit: wasnt there a theory going around that the zonai ended up being the interlopers from TP and became the twili >.> just saying
Man!! That would be crazy! And yeah, you’re right! There’s been a theory that the Twili would be in this game from the moment the 2019 trailer was released. That would be insane! Haha. Appreciate you watching, have an awesome day, and God bless!
@@ourradiantgaming man Tp is my fav game in the whole world so if it was true id just die xD thanks for making the vids man new sub from me!
What if Hylia is a Zonai goddess? Weren’t the zonai also humanoid race like Hylians?
That would be insane! From what I understand, the Zonai were a humanoid race! So I could totally see Hylia being a Zonai. Maybe this is Hylia AND a Zonai 😳
My guess it can be:
A parallel deity to Hylia
A divine being above the 3 Goddesses
An evil being from the time of Demise.
I think that’s the craziest thing! We don’t even know if this being will be evil or good 😳 any of the points you made could be true! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
Reminder that Demise was only a General and Vanguard force of the Demon Tribe
Thank you! I have always thought this was the 3rd and final god. The God that will be associated with courage. Hylia is the God of wisdom. Demise the God of power and courage has never had a God.
Farore is the goddess of Courage/Wind, Nayru is the goddess of Wisdom/Water, and Din is the goddess of Power/Fire. Hylia's domain has never been officially confirmed but heavily implied to be of time. The three parts of the Triforce are representative of the Creation Goddesses' powers, Hylia was left behind to guard it and protect the Hylian people. Not sure where you got that from, because that is not canon.
@Cameron Widner you don't understand what I'm saying. Yes I get farore Nauru and din being the respective goddesses but Demise is reincarnated into Ganon all the time and he always gets the triforce of power. Hylia turned herself human to become Zelda who always gets wisdom. But Link is just supposed to be Hylia's little helper that always get courage? It seems oddly unbalanced. It would make sense that there would be an elusive 3rd god besides Hylia and Demise. One that hopefully this game introduces to expand the story of the Zelda franchise. It's a speculation about what's to come...
You’re right! It’d make sense for this being to be the god of courage. I’m so excited to see what’s to come! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
@@dannyg6683 ahha I get it now, that image is basically links spirit animal I won't say anymore spoilers for link between worlds
oh man... I honestly have no idea but I just love watching these videos and hearing your theories!
There’s just so much we don’t know 😳 Thanks for watching Lyn!
3:29 I think those are abilities, not tears.
But if you wait a bit the camera moves up a bit and reveals 2 more tears, it probably isn’t abilities unless there are 6 abilities in the game
That would be interesting if that was abilities instead of tears! I could totally see that being the case, too! 😳 appreciate you watching and commenting! Have an awesome day, and God bless!
