I am not a perfect person. I accidentally called Tetra “Terra”. Blame it on having watched Teen Titans during when Wind Waker first came out 😅 Anyway, please excuse the mistake and thanks for the viewership!
I’m going to marathon skyward sword/BOTW, and then try to fit in Minish Cap and LBW all before Tears releases. Looking to do more research so I can make some more specific videos. Totally forgot about that Urbosa dialogue, that’s super interesting 🤔
That is clearly Ganondorf. Otherwise the Calamity wouldn't have risen from him where he was underground. It's just that he had all this power even while he was unconscious, and that's terrifying.
Awesome video! Great summary of the Triforce up till Botw. I also just watched Monster Maze's video on the Triforce last night so I respect you for plugging it multiple times throughout the video. What do you make of the theory that the silent realm is within Link's mind/psyche? You said it's up for debate whether the silent realm is the Sacred Realm so that leads me to believe you're not convinced that they're separate.
I head canon’d that the Sacred Realm and the Silent Realm are the same place, and that video definitely challenged that long held thought. I still need to think about it more I would say
I had an epiphany on a crazy theory, that's hard to get into, so let's start with this: what if, Princess hilda actually IS Zelda, but from a different timeline, and for that reason, not the EXACT Zelda but kinda like Jungian shadow of her? Just think this idea alone, and ALL of the implications what kind of world building I'm talking about. Maybe the three timelines have EACH as the shadow of the OTHER. When you cross frm one timeline to other, you ONLY express yourself in some sort of shadow form. That's what it means to be an interloper, your actions in one timeline have consequeces in another, because they AREN'T separate timelines, they are shatterverses. Hilda would actually be the Shadow of, probably Tetra, in a world affected by the ABSENSE of Triforce after King Daphnes gave all the hope to the world of Winds. Sheikas and hero's shade would be means to retain some consciousness BEYOND this transition. And further, what about all the games that explicitly had a full triangle triforce, but only one of them? WAS that a full triforce, or... was that just ONE part of it, in a world where that is how the balance is skewed there? To tie up inconsistency, it could be that Triforce a s a whole exists as the same three parts beyond any timeline, but its location can be separted in on or the other, and it can be outright missing in some, lke a 4-dimensional object dropping out of the first 2 or 3. I dub this the TriPartite Dream theory.
I learned so much from this video about the Zelda timelines. What a great explanation for the events in each of the games. And here I was abusing ganandorf in Super Smash brawl. I should’ve fought with the hero and not the villain 😢
Awesome video, man! I think you're the only person I've seen mention that the Triforce was within the possession of the Royal Family at some point, due to the symbol showing on Zelda's hand in BOTW. I don't think she actually has it. I think it's just a symbol that shows her divine heritage and (obvious) connection to the family lol. Great video as always and an awesome run-down!
Thank you! Yeah it’s not for certain for sure. I flip a coin as to whether Zelda had it during the BOTW or not 😆 That Monster Maze video I mentioned challenges my viewpoint on where the Triforce is in BOTW. Thanks for watching!
One of my favorite things about the end of your videos is that you close with the music from the Symphony of the Goddesses it just takes me back and I remember seeing them live when they came to my city
good video man! great to get beginners into the series. last i heard was the Aonuma confirmed that BOTW was 10,000 year in the future of when all the other zelda games took place, and i thought fans just went with the convergence of the timeline theory. heck it could turn out that every Legend of zelda was indeed a Legend folk tail warning of corruption and abuse of power. its an entertaining take on the series at least.
@@glutentag5853 that s right, and i do know people are trying to place it on the fallen hero due to the brown stripe on the tunic of the wilds cap, which only shows up in the fallen timeline, yet there are location dedicated to people in both the child and adult timelines so who know, im all in on the convergences of timelines myself
Wiz I think you need to step up the pun game a bit bud! just kidding, loved the video, keep up the good work! Im really excited to see what comes next in the zelda timeline!
5:32 I would also like to add that when translating from Japanese, the language this game was originally made in, the letter ‘i’ is used as a phonetic supplement for the letter ‘い‘ which makes the long ‘ee’ sound. So you are doubly right.
And adding to this, in most Romance languages (that I checked at least) her name is written Faih, so I guess it's another case of Spyro being pronounced Speero (breath in latin) or Spyro (pyro=fire) and both versions are correc5
In English, that’s spelled as “phi”, which would be the Greek word. But for all intents and purposes, that’s the Latin pronunciation of the word. Which makes sense, because the series, oddly enough, has quite a bit of Roman Catholic influence (Latin was the language of the church up until like the 1960s)
Doesn’t ganondorf reincarnate as ganon in four swords adventures? It takes place after tp where he should be dead but he isn’t which I think confirms he CAN reincarnate he just hasn’t much. Also I feel like in the downfall timeline he comes back a bunch but i don’t know if he was ever concretely killed so idk if he’s confirmed to have reincarnated there either.
I think Demise is coming back. At the end of Skyward Sword, the Master Sword traps the malice of Demise, and in Tears of the Kingdom, the Master Sword is broken, letting the malice, and Demise back out or resurrect. My wild prediction is that Demise will resurrect Ganon(dorf), either by malice or by getting the Triforce of Power back from Zelda.
I like where you’re headed! I think Demise has the hugest potential for returning out of most scenarios I’ve covered. It really just seems like the most likely event to happen. I’ll have a video out talking about it eventually here. At times I wish there were 2-3 of me 😅
i don't think we even have confirmation its ganondorf. i mean, it probably is. but also i'm like 99% sure demise is going to play the villain role. the person speaking in the trailer, i don't think thats ganondorf. i think thats demise. a lot of people are making theories around this but totally neglect the basic facts of zelda lore: ganondorf wants to rule, and ganondorf is the source of the malice. demise wants to kill everything. he brought the army of monsters with him when he first invaded hyrule. they came from the ground. demise was sealed in the master sword, not killed. the dialogue makes that very clear. the master sword is completely totalled in totk. i really think its as simple as this: ganondorf's malice corrupts the master sword when it gets hit. link throws the sword away likely because its totally fucked in that moment. demise is no longer imprisoned in the sword since it no longer has any power. demise takes over hyrule. and the timeline wont loop either. that would make the zelda team's creative flow rather difficult in the future, not being able to add new races or major locations, and having to work around the games' stories in the set timeline. they simply won't be doing that, it would impede their creativity.
The Zelda series is kind of nice like that where you can pay only a little attention to any of the game, still get a lot of value out of that game, and you could just chalk up each game to being a legend, and even then that’s STILL an amazing concept!
Personally I believe that BOTW takes place after a merging of the timelines, since the ganondorf corpse we see in TOTK appears to be the same one as TP for several reasons which would be from adult timeline, but the fallen hero timeline, all of its games, links hat always has a yellow band on it, and so does the set of the wild (theres also dlc/amiibo but their cannonness is questionable at best)
Excellent video dude! Your lore explanation was really good! Other than the FSA Ganon reincarnation mentioned by other commenters, this is spot on. Keep up the good work!
The reason why Ganondorf had the Triforce of Power in Twilight Princess is because The Hero of Time still had the Triforce of Courage on him, because of that the Triforce of Courage from the Past seperated itself from the remaining pieces and goes to the other Timeline, I am sure this is also confirmed in Hyrule Historia
But then what about the Hero of Time becoming the Hero’s Shade and how this impacts the Spirit of the Hero not arriving in time when Ganondorf returns in Wind Waker and the goddesses have to flood Hyrule as a result? The Ganondorf from the adult timeline still kept his Triforce of Power when he was sealed.
@@wizcatcheslightning The Triforce-Pieces can be passed down to others as well, meaning maybe at some point before his death OoT Link passed his piece down to his kids just like OoT Zelda probably did. And a Triforce-Piece doesn't make anyone immortal just because it is a Triforce Piece, it only gives someone the atributes from the Goddess it represents. Ganondorf becomes more inhumanly Powerful because of the Triforce of Power. Link - being the Couragous Hero he is - would in Theory only become more couragous, and Nothing more. And what has the Triforce of Courage to do with stopping Ganon? The reason why Ganon couldn't be stopped was because the Hero that could wield the Master Sword didn't appear. Because this Sword is by far the best Weapon to fight against a Demonic Being posessing a Triforce Piece - if it's not lacking Hylia's Blessing that should stay constant with the prayers of the sages of wind and earth
@@Chris-gx1ei I edited my original comment because I misspoke. I meant to say Spirit of the Hero instead of Triforce of Courage. The Spirit of the Hero meant for the adult timeline is the same Spirit of the Hero that the Hero of Time takes with him to the child timeline. Except that the Hero of Time doesn’t find rest or peace after death. He holds onto the resentment of never being the Hero he was meant to be, and becomes the Hero’s Shade. His Spirit of the Hero passes onto the Link of Twilight Princess, hence there’s a Link to fight Ganondorf in Twilight Princess. That Shade/former hero could have disrupted the reincarnation of the Link needed before the Great Flood in the adult timeline simply because there’s evidence of his Spirit of the Hero passing onto a new reincarnation in the child timeline, meanwhile the adult timeline has no reincarnation happen for some time. And then a new Link has to prove his virtue of courage to possess his third of the Triforce. The only way Ganondorf would be able to get the Triforce of Power, as far as we know, in the child timeline, would be for Link to pull the Master Sword, which opens up the Sacred Realm in OOT. But this doesn’t happen in the child timeline. Unless there’s a rule we have yet to account for that still exists. That’s the point I was trying to make in the video.
Many have believed that BOTW took place several millennia after Twilight Princess including myself primarily cause of what Zelda said in the game: "Skyward bound, adrift in time or steeped in the glowing embers of twilight." But as turns out the world of BOTW is supposedly taking place in a reunited timeline which is hinted by the references made to games from all 3 of them. My theory is the Ganondorf we see is likely the one from Twilight Princess though he has many similarities to the Ganondorf from Hyrule Warriors but that is a non-canon spinoff game so that isn't helping in any way. Next part of my theory is that something must have happened either after the events of TP like Ganondorf was never really dead and he eventually returned to cause chaos and despair in Hyrule once again but was defeated and sealed away in a tomb of sorts undergrounf to try breaking the cycle as killing him means he will just be reincarnated. The other theory is maybe there is a lot more to the events that happened 10,000 years before when Calamity Ganon was first defeated, maybe that was also when Ganondorf had returned and when he was defeated the Royal Family possibly along with the help of the Zonai or whatever this new race shown in the artbook and stone murals are, had him imprisoned below Hyrule Castle as to not allow him to threaten Hyrule again with his malice but of course like the seals in previous Zelda games they were always only temporary or not strong enough to hold forever and as demonstrated Ganondorf's malice was still able to slowly seep out and form into the abomination that is known as Calamity Ganon and bring ruin to Hyrule. Now that Ganondorf's seal is broken and he's been set free he can now fully unleash his malice on the world and it's clear the hero of the wild is in for a challenge possibly bigger than the challenge faced by the hero of the skies.
In the backstory to A Link to the Past, the resting place of the Triforce was said to be a land covered in twilight, so Zelda's statement in that one cutscene doesn't prove a timeline placement for BOTW. Another fun fact: there was a team that completed a direct translation of the Japanese manual for ALTTP. It mentioned that Ganon had a "noxious gas" or "evil spirit/mood" that flowed from where he was in the Sacred Realm. Do you know the word they translated it as? Malice. That translation project was done in 2003.
Fi is indeed intended to be pronounced FAI in English. Don't disagree with you on the pronunciation of fidelis, though. It seems like the name has multiple potential meanings, be it alluding to the letter phi with an altered spelling, or fidelis. The name in katakana is ファイ (pronounced FAI).
The FSA game is so vague about this, but I tend to take the GameTrailers timeline interpretation of this Ganon and I mark it as one of the earliest encounters of the Calamity Ganon. Excited to see how everything pans out in tears!
@@wizcatcheslightning Eh. I'd give that honor to the Ganon that was resurrected by the Twinrova sisters in the Oracle games. As for Breath being on a specific timeline? There's no way to make it perfectly match up with any of them. It currently only really works as a culmination of all three. Also, Hyrule Historia outright states that the Ganon in FSA was reincarnated post-TP.
Yes, why wouldn't the entombed body that creates the malice that forms into Calamity Ganon. BE Ganons true form that isn't just malice complied into a physical amalgamation. The demise theory doesn't work because in the delay teaser we see Fi still talking to LInk and Fi is either holding back or still destroying Demise or he's already been destroyed. And the malice isn't Demise either, you clearly don't understand the point of BOTW, the power that Ganondorf has aka Malice is just his hatred and anger for everything and everyone around him. His desire for conquest and domination over others, if it was demise then the pure malice form Calamity Ganon assumed in the Dark Beast Ganon Boss fight would be called Dark Beast Demise. This Ganondorf is his own separate entity from the Ganondorf's that came before him and the stories of those ganondorfs and how they came into existence, just how BOTW is its own separate entity that takes place at the end of all timelines but tells its own story disconnected from those timelines.
Julien, try to keep it respectful, please. It’s okay to disagree about things without attacking others personally. To respond to you, malice originates from Demise (we’re first introduced to it in Skyward Sword) and it follows the spirit of the Hero and the blood of the Goddess (passed on by the first Link and Zelda) through a never ending cycle originated by a curse made by Demise after his defeat. Still working out the FSA Ganondorf that is mentioned and how he ties into the timeline. The Ganon in FSA, for all intents and purposes, is the same as the Calamity Ganon (mentioned this in my Tears/Tiers/Tears explanation video).
The demise theory doesn't work because in the delay teaser we see Fi still talking to LInk and Fi is the only thing stopping Demise(if he wasn't destroyed in the master sword already) from escaping outside of the master sword.
¿Didn't Impa say Demise's "essence" was been *destroyed* from within the Master Sword at the end of Skyward Sword? Pretty sure that points at Demise having died for good before been replaced by Ganondorf as his "successor".
@@javiervasquez625 not sure. Currently replaying Skyward Sword so I’ll have a better answer soon. Fi does say his conscience is trapped inside the Master Sword, however.
@@javiervasquez625 pretty sure she says it’s still in there but will decay over time. It’s not clear on how long that takes, so there could be a sliver there to work with.
How it’s spelled in English is the Latin pronunciation, basically 😂 I’m fairly certain the Japanese text says “Fai”, but it really feels like someone transcribed it over incorrectly
8:21 What's actually happening here is at the end of Ocarina of Time when Link is sent back in time by Zelda, he obtains The Triforce of Courage of that timeline and the adult timeline Triforce of Courage is split into 8 fragments. Because he was the first to obtain a piece of The Triforce, the other two are gifted to those chosen by fate in that of Zelda and Ganondorf. It just so happens that Ganon obtained it in that exact moment.
First of all, thanks for the Twitter follow! 🥲 Secondly, if you haven’t watched it yet, my “The Divine Pranks that resolved Wind Waker” video explores this very concept. I made it out of confusion over the Divine Prank
never got why people pronounced Fi like (f-eye) cause not only is it of Latin origin like you said but its also a Japanese game and in Japanese "i" is pronounced "ee"
Question what do you feel about the theory now because the game has now actually released so what do you think about the theory obviously wrong but whatever no one gets anything wrong but actually what do you think about this theory now?
In America, the Marine Corp’s motto is “semper fi” where “fi” is pronounced “phi” instead of fi, and that’s about the best guess I have right now 😂 Basically, the Latin language being phonetically lost over time because it’s a dead language
@wizcatcheslightning that's true. However, that is just a shortened version of Fidelis pronounced Fuh-deh-luhs. So the Fi would just be slang or an abbreviation.
@@MinksAwakening okay I see where your head is at! I’ll introduce another rule of Latin to you: the letter “i” in Latin makes the “ee” sound and the letters “ae” make the “eye” sound. They’re used in the genitive forms of Latin words and they are respectively the male and female plural forms of Latin words.
It’s Ganondorf , he still has his headgear on that he had in twilight princess and he cracked his neck which I believe is a nod to Zant doing the neck crack and Ganon’s life end
Nice video. I have a own Theory but it’s quite a text, but no one’s reading it so I hope you and your community will take the time. I once heard the idea of a Link who wasn’t present in the past, and the person in the mural fighting against the calamity was Ganondorf, because of his red hair. But let me explain why I believe the person in the mural and the corpse we consider Ganondorf are both the same person but not as you might think. Please read till the end it is worth it. 🙏🏻 I believe the hero in the mural is THE male Gerudo who is born every 100 years. It doesn't always have to be Ganondorf. But it would make him a King, according to the traditions of the Gerudo. The Gerudo are a very strong tribe but we can only assume how powerful a male Gerudo can be, by comparing him with Ganondorf. Also I believe the male Gerudo King is the descendant of Ganondorf. What makes me think this isn’t Ganondorf? From the actual canon storyline, Ganondorf/Ganon has already been defeated which we see in Zelda 1 and 2 as well as Four Swords Adventures, and A link Between World: the final games of the current timeline apart from Botw. Spirit Tracks also didn't reintroduce Ganon-(dorf) but there appeared a new Demon King ruling the demons. We always connected the Bokoblins, Moblins and other pig-like-creatures with Ganon, who is also a big Boar-Demon. But this is wrong: In Skyward Sword they also existed and there was no signs of Ganon, only Demise. That means that Ganon is part of the Pig-Like-Demons just the strongest among them. That’s the reason why after defeating, or better sealing demise in the master sword, the spoken curse infested the strongest demon, Ganon. For several thousand years the curse was infested Ganon and the coexist together but after finally defeating Ganon, there was only malice left, the origin of all evil, the part of Demise itself. And who are the Zonai and what type of role they are playing in The Legend of Zelda? I think the Zonai are an ancient religious tribe who worship all of the goddesses from Nayru to Din and Farore. We see statues which following the characteristics of each goddesses. The Dragons stand for courage and Farore, the owls stand for wisdom and Nayru, and the big pig Statue stands for Din (or Ganon) which represents strengths. Their knowledge was outstanding therefore they could have written the prophecy of the calamity. Maybe they were part of the battle as well, because in theories some people believe their were fellows of Ganon, but in that era they followed the strongest one, the Gerudo warrior, who was chosen by the goddesses. But why doesn't Link appear as a hero 10.000 years ago? It was already told in the legends that the calamity once returned but no hero appeared to save the people. (the land was flooded-> hence what happens in Wind Waker. In Wind Waker we only see one reincarnation of the three chosen ones of the Goddesses. Tetra aka Zelda. Ganondorf was the same from Oot and Link only was a child but got the Triforce of Courage because he was worthy of it. The one hero didn’t show up when the calamity was destroying the lands of Hyrule once again 10.000 years ago. Consequently the people of Hyrule had no other choice to send the only two persons who are able to stop the Calamity and made them the warchiefs during the battle: Zelda and her sealing power and the most powerful warrior at that time: The King of the Gerudo. I guess, what happened with the hero of the wind previously, the same story repeated with the Hero from 10.000 years ago. He proved himself worthy to become the possessor of the Triforce of power. But the calamity was to strong, either Zelda wasn’t able to seal him, or the Gerudo warrior followed by the whole battalion and the divine beasts couldn’t destroy it. Therefore during the battle, the only way to stop the Calamity was to present the body of the Gerudo warrior as a vessel, sealing away the Calamity in that body once and for all. The hero died and the Triforce of power came of his body returning to the sacred realm. 10.000 glorious years of piece and prosperity ruled over the Kingdom of Hyrule, the longest period of time, without a menace, where all the events only were known as “Legends of the Princess Zelda”. Traditions which always have been kept alive during the ages for example naming any princess of the royal bloodline after the holy Prinzess Zelda. But there was one prophecy about the returning of the great calamity which at the end became truth. The Story of Breath of the Wild. There is another thing about the Triforce: I believe Zelda at the end was using the completed Triforce, extremely powerful to seal the Calamity away. Indeed she and Link defeated the Calamity but where was the calamity supposed to come from, when it was sealed 10.000 years away? The answer is the corpse of the hero, which we see in the Tears of the Kingdom trailer. I will call the Corpse: “The Hero of the calamity” just to make it easier to identify what hero I am talking about. The calamity is sealed but the malice, the curse is too maleficent to simply hold it back. It flows over the 10.000 years out of the body and became the hatred which united produces the Calamity of Ganon. It looks like ganon because over the thousand of years the malice and the demon Ganon got the same appearance because of the coexistence. Zeldas sealing power vanished and so the triforce also did return to the sacred realm but the triforce of power is still bound to the Hero of the calamity in the past. Furthermore because of containing the calamity in his body he will become just a puppet of Demise’s Curse when he awakens and will be our enemy to either liberate him from the curse or destroy him with the curse. I think the piece of courage will be given to Link after completing all the new trial in Tears of the Kingdom. The awakening of the Hero of the Calamity, brings darkness to the land and destroy everything in Hyule. That’s the reason, why I am really sure we will travel through the time to prevent the downfall of the Kingdom of Hyrule. But then, we might get a typical time travel paradox here, like we've had since Oot and the timelines split. So if Link really travels back in time, he would meet the ancient Zelda, the hero from 10,000 years / aka Hero of the calamity and then the Triforce would finally be united as well, since no part would be missing. As in Age of Calamity, time travel would be given different conditions and bring about a different ending, a new time split will be created. With Age of Calamity, Botw and Tears of the Kingdom we would end up with three timelines again like in Ocarina of time. PS.: What you mentioned before in your video, that Ganons Resurrection is connected to the Triforce of Power therefore I guess that was the reason Ganondorf and Ganon became one at all. Ganondorf as King proved himself worthy as well to get the Triforce of Power but his greed to rule all of Hyrule was the agent of is own path to darkness. He only wanted prosperity for his tribe but at any cost.
I read all this which is why I deserve the triforce of wisdom, but I do like the idea of an antihero Gerudo where he helps fight alongside Link and Zelda to destroy Demise. Then you could go down the route of finding Demise had passed on the malice to another villainous god, and to make the curse stronger, Demise has to die too. Would be a good way to “end the timeline” of Demise and change the rules of the curse to keep things fresh in the future.
@@JarumaruKnox ¿Would the Golden Goddesses allow it? They didn't back in the "Era of Myth" so the conflict with the Demon King might only continue past Tears of the Kingdom's storyline.
@@javiervasquez625 Idk, but what I know is that the goddesses are really changeable. For example You see Ganondorf obtaining the Triforce of Power during his execution in Twilight Princess, although they could have simply let him die 🤔 …but they haven’t. I am afraid, we can’t be sure about the future of Ganon, Demise and the goddess Hylia etc until Totk isn’t released.
@@JarumaruKnox _"You see Ganondorf obtaining the Triforce of Power during his execution in Twilight Princess, although they could have simply left him die..."_ The reason why Ganondorf was granted the Triforce of Power was because of the "divine prank" that Ocarina of Time Ganondorf made after he shattered the full Triforce into it's 3 pieces which ALSO shattered in the Child Timeline. Remember that it was the Golden Goddesses that flooded the kingdom of Hyrule after the people prayed for them to assist them due to the Hero of Time's departure from this timeline. The Goddesses couldn't stop Twilight Ganondorf from gaining the Triforce of Power as they were *unaware* that he carried it within his person at the time of his execution. The Triforce is a divine object that transcends reality itself and so it's power goes beyond the boundaries of time and space. With that said i agree that it's up to Tears of the Kingdom to unveil the truth regarding the Ganondorf, the Goddesses and Hylia. Hopefully all of our questions will be answered once we play the game.
I don't think Ganondorf necessarily died at the end of Twilight Princess, rather he just lost his triforce of power. He was still alive but in a coma-like state where he could not move but was still alive, hence him being sealed with the hand deep below Hyrule Castle maybe even in the sewers that we traverse in TP as Wolf Link... Or further below that
But he die. The next game after Twilight Princess is Four Swords Adventure and it along with Hyrule Historia and several other sources states that Ganondorf reincarnated and became Ganon after getting his hands on the Dark Trident.
I am not a perfect person. I accidentally called Tetra “Terra”. Blame it on having watched Teen Titans during when Wind Waker first came out 😅

last i heard was the Aonuma confirmed that BOTW was 10,000 year in the future of when all the other zelda games took place, and i thought fans just went with the convergence of the timeline theory. heck it could turn out that every Legend of zelda was indeed a Legend folk tail warning of corruption and abuse of power. its an entertaining take on the series at least.
It's way more than 10,000 years in the future. 10,000 years before Botw was the great calamity where the Shiekah's inventions made them win
He never said that, thats huts zelda fans making up shit like usual
@@jordanleveritt7028 yeah but it is confirmed that 10,000 years did pass before the start of botw and whatever happen in the great calamity
@@glutentag5853 that s right, and i do know people are trying to place it on the fallen hero due to the brown stripe on the tunic of the wilds cap, which only shows up in the fallen timeline, yet there are location dedicated to people in both the child and adult timelines so who know, im all in on the convergences of timelines myself
@@slightlysaltedgaming8931 same
Wiz I think you need to step up the pun game a bit bud! just kidding, loved the video, keep up the good work! Im really excited to see what comes next in the zelda timeline!
No doubt thanks Brad 😎👉👉
5:32 I would also like to add that when translating from Japanese, the language this game was originally made in, the letter ‘i’ is used as a phonetic supplement for the letter ‘い‘ which makes the long ‘ee’ sound. So you are doubly right.
I’ll take that and I appreciate the trivia!
But in Fi's case, her Japanese name is ファイ (Fai)
And adding to this, in most Romance languages (that I checked at least) her name is written Faih, so I guess it's another case of Spyro being pronounced Speero (breath in latin) or Spyro (pyro=fire) and both versions are correc5
If the malice is demise, maybe the Green swirls are the hero spirit?
Yes! At the very least we can associate the green swirls with the spirit of the hero
Excellent vid again bro. I made the right choice of hitting the bell and subscribing to you! Keep it up! 👍
Happy to deliver 🤗
While it may be incorrect Latin, in the game Fi is pronounced Fai, rhyming with sky and fly, according to Nintendo.
It’s silly to admit but I’m not sure I can change. Been calling her Fi my whole life haha
Fi, a Greek letter that make the "F" sound, is also the symbol for the golden ratio: Φ,φ
In English, that’s spelled as “phi”, which would be the Greek word. But for all intents and purposes, that’s the Latin pronunciation of the word. Which makes sense, because the series, oddly enough, has quite a bit of Roman Catholic influence (Latin was the language of the church up until like the 1960s)
Doesn’t ganondorf reincarnate as ganon in four swords adventures? It takes place after tp where he should be dead but he isn’t which I think confirms he CAN reincarnate he just hasn’t much. Also I feel like in the downfall timeline he comes back a bunch but i don’t know if he was ever concretely killed so idk if he’s confirmed to have reincarnated there either.
Idk I never really felt that game was cannon personally felt weird and had inconsistencs with lore
I’ve thought of a zany way to explain it all, still in the works
Yes, it's the only time it happens
I think Demise is coming back. At the end of Skyward Sword, the Master Sword traps the malice of Demise, and in Tears of the Kingdom, the Master Sword is broken, letting the malice, and Demise back out or resurrect.
My wild prediction is that Demise will resurrect Ganon(dorf), either by malice or by getting the Triforce of Power back from Zelda.
I like where you’re headed! I think Demise has the hugest potential for returning out of most scenarios I’ve covered. It really just seems like the most likely event to happen. I’ll have a video out talking about it eventually here. At times I wish there were 2-3 of me 😅
i don't think we even have confirmation its ganondorf. i mean, it probably is. but also i'm like 99% sure demise is going to play the villain role. the person speaking in the trailer, i don't think thats ganondorf. i think thats demise.
a lot of people are making theories around this but totally neglect the basic facts of zelda lore:
ganondorf wants to rule, and ganondorf is the source of the malice.
demise wants to kill everything. he brought the army of monsters with him when he first invaded hyrule. they came from the ground. demise was sealed in the master sword, not killed. the dialogue makes that very clear. the master sword is completely totalled in totk.
i really think its as simple as this:
ganondorf's malice corrupts the master sword when it gets hit. link throws the sword away likely because its totally fucked in that moment. demise is no longer imprisoned in the sword since it no longer has any power. demise takes over hyrule.
and the timeline wont loop either. that would make the zelda team's creative flow rather difficult in the future, not being able to add new races or major locations, and having to work around the games' stories in the set timeline. they simply won't be doing that, it would impede their creativity.
watching the video, just finished it. you are 100% correct. layed it out better than i could.
Newest video somewhat expands on this conundrum a bit deeper. It’s all culminating toward a 13 page or so script I’ve drafted for the timeline vid 😆
been playing these games since the original LoZ when i was 10, i didn't know 3/4's of this stuff...lol- I always just consider a new game a new story.
The Zelda series is kind of nice like that where you can pay only a little attention to any of the game, still get a lot of value out of that game, and you could just chalk up each game to being a legend, and even then that’s STILL an amazing concept!
I love the Latin screen name btw 😎
4:32 is like pure butter
Tell me more 🤣
Personally I believe that BOTW takes place after a merging of the timelines, since the ganondorf corpse we see in TOTK appears to be the same one as TP for several reasons which would be from adult timeline, but the fallen hero timeline, all of its games, links hat always has a yellow band on it, and so does the set of the wild (theres also dlc/amiibo but their cannonness is questionable at best)
Excellent video dude! Your lore explanation was really good! Other than the FSA Ganon reincarnation mentioned by other commenters, this is spot on. Keep up the good work!
I’ll take it 😎
Thanks for watching!
Awesome vid to recap what we know leading up to totk!
Thank you! Just trying to make sure everyone is caught up 😎
The reason why Ganondorf had the Triforce of Power in Twilight Princess is because The Hero of Time still had the Triforce of Courage on him, because of that the Triforce of Courage from the Past seperated itself from the remaining pieces and goes to the other Timeline, I am sure this is also confirmed in Hyrule Historia
But then what about the Hero of Time becoming the Hero’s Shade and how this impacts the Spirit of the Hero not arriving in time when Ganondorf returns in Wind Waker and the goddesses have to flood Hyrule as a result? The Ganondorf from the adult timeline still kept his Triforce of Power when he was sealed.
@@wizcatcheslightning
The Triforce-Pieces can be passed down to others as well, meaning maybe at some point before his death OoT Link passed his piece down to his kids just like OoT Zelda probably did.
And a Triforce-Piece doesn't make anyone immortal just because it is a Triforce Piece, it only gives someone the atributes from the Goddess it represents.
Ganondorf becomes more inhumanly Powerful because of the Triforce of Power.
Link - being the Couragous Hero he is - would in Theory only become more couragous, and Nothing more.
And what has the Triforce of Courage to do with stopping Ganon?
The reason why Ganon couldn't be stopped was because the Hero that could wield the Master Sword didn't appear.
Because this Sword is by far the best Weapon to fight against a Demonic Being posessing a Triforce Piece - if it's not lacking Hylia's Blessing that should stay constant with the prayers of the sages of wind and earth
@@Chris-gx1ei I edited my original comment because I misspoke. I meant to say Spirit of the Hero instead of Triforce of Courage.
The Spirit of the Hero meant for the adult timeline is the same Spirit of the Hero that the Hero of Time takes with him to the child timeline. Except that the Hero of Time doesn’t find rest or peace after death. He holds onto the resentment of never being the Hero he was meant to be, and becomes the Hero’s Shade. His Spirit of the Hero passes onto the Link of Twilight Princess, hence there’s a Link to fight Ganondorf in Twilight Princess. That Shade/former hero could have disrupted the reincarnation of the Link needed before the Great Flood in the adult timeline simply because there’s evidence of his Spirit of the Hero passing onto a new reincarnation in the child timeline, meanwhile the adult timeline has no reincarnation happen for some time. And then a new Link has to prove his virtue of courage to possess his third of the Triforce. The only way Ganondorf would be able to get the Triforce of Power, as far as we know, in the child timeline, would be for Link to pull the Master Sword, which opens up the Sacred Realm in OOT. But this doesn’t happen in the child timeline. Unless there’s a rule we have yet to account for that still exists. That’s the point I was trying to make in the video.
Many have believed that BOTW took place several millennia after Twilight Princess including myself primarily cause of what Zelda said in the game: "Skyward bound, adrift in time or steeped in the glowing embers of twilight." But as turns out the world of BOTW is supposedly taking place in a reunited timeline which is hinted by the references made to games from all 3 of them.
My theory is the Ganondorf we see is likely the one from Twilight Princess though he has many similarities to the Ganondorf from Hyrule Warriors but that is a non-canon spinoff game so that isn't helping in any way. Next part of my theory is that something must have happened either after the events of TP like Ganondorf was never really dead and he eventually returned to cause chaos and despair in Hyrule once again but was defeated and sealed away in a tomb of sorts undergrounf to try breaking the cycle as killing him means he will just be reincarnated. The other theory is maybe there is a lot more to the events that happened 10,000 years before when Calamity Ganon was first defeated, maybe that was also when Ganondorf had returned and when he was defeated the Royal Family possibly along with the help of the Zonai or whatever this new race shown in the artbook and stone murals are, had him imprisoned below Hyrule Castle as to not allow him to threaten Hyrule again with his malice but of course like the seals in previous Zelda games they were always only temporary or not strong enough to hold forever and as demonstrated Ganondorf's malice was still able to slowly seep out and form into the abomination that is known as Calamity Ganon and bring ruin to Hyrule. Now that Ganondorf's seal is broken and he's been set free he can now fully unleash his malice on the world and it's clear the hero of the wild is in for a challenge possibly bigger than the challenge faced by the hero of the skies.
In the backstory to A Link to the Past, the resting place of the Triforce was said to be a land covered in twilight, so Zelda's statement in that one cutscene doesn't prove a timeline placement for BOTW. Another fun fact: there was a team that completed a direct translation of the Japanese manual for ALTTP. It mentioned that Ganon had a "noxious gas" or "evil spirit/mood" that flowed from where he was in the Sacred Realm. Do you know the word they translated it as? Malice. That translation project was done in 2003.
Fi is indeed intended to be pronounced FAI in English. Don't disagree with you on the pronunciation of fidelis, though. It seems like the name has multiple potential meanings, be it alluding to the letter phi with an altered spelling, or fidelis. The name in katakana is ファイ (pronounced FAI).
You can take the student out of the Latin class but you can’t take the Latin class out of the student 🤣
Ganondorf has canonically been reincarnated between TP and FSA.
The FSA game is so vague about this, but I tend to take the GameTrailers timeline interpretation of this Ganon and I mark it as one of the earliest encounters of the Calamity Ganon. Excited to see how everything pans out in tears!
@@wizcatcheslightning Eh. I'd give that honor to the Ganon that was resurrected by the Twinrova sisters in the Oracle games.
As for Breath being on a specific timeline? There's no way to make it perfectly match up with any of them. It currently only really works as a culmination of all three.
Also, Hyrule Historia outright states that the Ganon in FSA was reincarnated post-TP.
Yes, why wouldn't the entombed body that creates the malice that forms into Calamity Ganon. BE Ganons true form that isn't just malice complied into a physical amalgamation. The demise theory doesn't work because in the delay teaser we see Fi still talking to LInk and Fi is either holding back or still destroying Demise or he's already been destroyed.
And the malice isn't Demise either, you clearly don't understand the point of BOTW, the power that Ganondorf has aka Malice is just his hatred and anger for everything and everyone around him. His desire for conquest and domination over others, if it was demise then the pure malice form Calamity Ganon assumed in the Dark Beast Ganon Boss fight would be called Dark Beast Demise.
This Ganondorf is his own separate entity from the Ganondorf's that came before him and the stories of those ganondorfs and how they came into existence, just how BOTW is its own separate entity that takes place at the end of all timelines but tells its own story disconnected from those timelines.
Julien, try to keep it respectful, please. It’s okay to disagree about things without attacking others personally. To respond to you, malice originates from Demise (we’re first introduced to it in Skyward Sword) and it follows the spirit of the Hero and the blood of the Goddess (passed on by the first Link and Zelda) through a never ending cycle originated by a curse made by Demise after his defeat.
Still working out the FSA Ganondorf that is mentioned and how he ties into the timeline. The Ganon in FSA, for all intents and purposes, is the same as the Calamity Ganon (mentioned this in my Tears/Tiers/Tears explanation video).
A possible solution of the malice having nowhere to go could be Demise possessing Ganondorf’s corpse now that the Master Sword has been compromised.
Exactly 😎
The demise theory doesn't work because in the delay teaser we see Fi still talking to LInk and Fi is the only thing stopping Demise(if he wasn't destroyed in the master sword already) from escaping outside of the master sword.
¿Didn't Impa say Demise's "essence" was been *destroyed* from within the Master Sword at the end of Skyward Sword? Pretty sure that points at Demise having died for good before been replaced by Ganondorf as his "successor".
@@javiervasquez625 not sure. Currently replaying Skyward Sword so I’ll have a better answer soon. Fi does say his conscience is trapped inside the Master Sword, however.
@@javiervasquez625 pretty sure she says it’s still in there but will decay over time. It’s not clear on how long that takes, so there could be a sliver there to work with.
should watch MAJORLINK and his videos Heros purpose closes to how I see the story gonna go and might be connected to TEAR OF THE KINGDOM
I appreciate the recommendation!
Not Ganon but demise looks at the hair it looks like a mummified demise
I honestly thought Fi came from the modern pronunciation of Greek Phi (which is actually pronouced the same so) but that's interesting
How it’s spelled in English is the Latin pronunciation, basically 😂
I’m fairly certain the Japanese text says “Fai”, but it really feels like someone transcribed it over incorrectly
According to Nintendo (so, canonically), it's pronounced /faɪ/ - as in it rhymes with 'high' or 'sky' or 'fly'.
I don’t disagree, it’s just that I’ve never heard her called that until this year, so I’m being a proud Mary
I love you wiz!! ❤️❤️🙏🥰😘
I love you too, lover Giggs! 🤗 💗 😚 😘
Really glad Daphnes didn't wish for Ganondorf to never return so we can keep getting neat Zelda games 👍
"Be careful what you wish for!" -Ganondorf, probably
8:21 What's actually happening here is at the end of Ocarina of Time when Link is sent back in time by Zelda, he obtains The Triforce of Courage of that timeline and the adult timeline Triforce of Courage is split into 8 fragments. Because he was the first to obtain a piece of The Triforce, the other two are gifted to those chosen by fate in that of Zelda and Ganondorf. It just so happens that Ganon obtained it in that exact moment.
First of all, thanks for the Twitter follow! 🥲
Secondly, if you haven’t watched it yet, my “The Divine Pranks that resolved Wind Waker” video explores this very concept. I made it out of confusion over the Divine Prank
@@wizcatcheslightning Ok. Thanks. I'll check it out.
never got why people pronounced Fi like (f-eye) cause not only is it of Latin origin like you said but its also a Japanese game and in Japanese "i" is pronounced "ee"
It's spelled like fai in Japanese (ファイ), but I think it's supposed to be like the Greek letter phi
@@Drew_150 I looked it up and you right, my bad haha
I've always called her Fi (Fee) as well. Glad I'm not the only one.
#teamfi(fee) 🤣
Question what do you feel about the theory now because the game has now actually released so what do you think about the theory obviously wrong but whatever no one gets anything wrong but actually what do you think about this theory now?
Can you ask that question without making it an incomprehensible run on sentence? Maybe split it into 3 questions or something?
@@wizcatcheslightning About like i do not feel really well so I'm going to say it tomorrow it's okay?
@@hybridvenom9 that’s fine 😎
@@wizcatcheslightning The new gannondoor from actual yeno but his name is demon king he is a gannondoor version
What. Is. The. Deal. With the commas in that “Zelda font.”
🤔 10:40
I’m glad you said that because they bothered me too. Gonna blame dafont.com’s Zelda BOTW font for this one
@@wizcatcheslightning I’m not being critical of you, it just gave me a chuckle. Dafont comin’ in weird and clutch. 😹
I pronounce Fi the same exact way you do. I don't understand how you would pronounce it any other way.
In America, the Marine Corp’s motto is “semper fi” where “fi” is pronounced “phi” instead of fi, and that’s about the best guess I have right now 😂
Basically, the Latin language being phonetically lost over time because it’s a dead language
@wizcatcheslightning that's true. However, that is just a shortened version of Fidelis pronounced Fuh-deh-luhs. So the Fi would just be slang or an abbreviation.
@@MinksAwakening okay I see where your head is at! I’ll introduce another rule of Latin to you: the letter “i” in Latin makes the “ee” sound and the letters “ae” make the “eye” sound. They’re used in the genitive forms of Latin words and they are respectively the male and female plural forms of Latin words.
Fi in the french version is called Fay.. "Ay" is pronounced "I"
I’ll take that 🤗
It’s Ganondorf , he still has his headgear on that he had in twilight princess and he cracked his neck which I believe is a nod to Zant doing the neck crack and Ganon’s life end
Yessir the vid says more about that ;D
It’s called clickbait. The more you know 💫
Did he call Tetra, Tara? 😂
Good lord I did 🤦🏻♂️
It’s been forever since I’ve played Wind Waker but you’re right
Nice video. I have a own Theory but it’s quite a text, but no one’s reading it so I hope you and your community will take the time.
I once heard the idea of a Link who wasn’t present in the past, and the person in the mural fighting against the calamity was Ganondorf, because of his red hair. But let me explain why I believe the person in the mural and the corpse we consider Ganondorf are both the same person but not as you might think. Please read till the end it is worth it. 🙏🏻
I believe the hero in the mural is THE male Gerudo who is born every 100 years. It doesn't always have to be Ganondorf.
But it would make him a King, according to the traditions of the Gerudo. The Gerudo are a very strong tribe but we can only assume how powerful a male Gerudo can be, by comparing him with Ganondorf.
Also I believe the male Gerudo King is the descendant of Ganondorf.
What makes me think this isn’t Ganondorf?
From the actual canon storyline, Ganondorf/Ganon has already been defeated which we see in Zelda 1 and 2 as well as Four Swords Adventures, and A link Between World: the final games of the current timeline apart from Botw. Spirit Tracks also didn't reintroduce Ganon-(dorf) but there appeared a new Demon King ruling the demons. We always connected the Bokoblins, Moblins and other pig-like-creatures with Ganon, who is also a big Boar-Demon. But this is wrong: In Skyward Sword they also existed and there was no signs of Ganon, only Demise. That means that Ganon is part of the Pig-Like-Demons just the strongest among them. That’s the reason why after defeating, or better sealing demise in the master sword, the spoken curse infested the strongest demon, Ganon.
For several thousand years the curse was infested Ganon and the coexist together but after finally defeating Ganon, there was only malice left, the origin of all evil, the part of Demise itself.
And who are the Zonai and what type of role they are playing in The Legend of Zelda?
I think the Zonai are an ancient religious tribe who worship all of the goddesses from Nayru to Din and Farore. We see statues which following the characteristics of each goddesses. The Dragons stand for courage and Farore, the owls stand for wisdom and Nayru, and the big pig Statue stands for Din (or Ganon) which represents strengths. Their knowledge was outstanding therefore they could have written the prophecy of the calamity. Maybe they were part of the battle as well, because in theories some people believe their were fellows of Ganon, but in that era they followed the strongest one, the Gerudo warrior, who was chosen by the goddesses.
But why doesn't Link appear as a hero 10.000 years ago?
It was already told in the legends that the calamity once returned but no hero appeared to save the people. (the land was flooded-> hence what happens in Wind Waker. In Wind Waker we only see one reincarnation of the three chosen ones of the Goddesses. Tetra aka Zelda. Ganondorf was the same from Oot and Link only was a child but got the Triforce of Courage because he was worthy of it.
The one hero didn’t show up when the calamity was destroying the lands of Hyrule once again 10.000 years ago. Consequently the people of Hyrule had no other choice to send the only two persons who are able to stop the Calamity and made them the warchiefs during the battle: Zelda and her sealing power and the most powerful warrior at that time: The King of the Gerudo.
I guess, what happened with the hero of the wind previously, the same story repeated with the Hero from 10.000 years ago. He proved himself worthy to become the possessor of the Triforce of power.
But the calamity was to strong, either Zelda wasn’t able to seal him, or the Gerudo warrior followed by the whole battalion and the divine beasts couldn’t destroy it. Therefore during the battle, the only way to stop the Calamity was to present the body of the Gerudo warrior as a vessel, sealing away the Calamity in that body once and for all. The hero died and the Triforce of power came of his body returning to the sacred realm.
10.000 glorious years of piece and prosperity ruled over the Kingdom of Hyrule, the longest period of time, without a menace, where all the events only were known as “Legends of the Princess Zelda”. Traditions which always have been kept alive during the ages for example naming any princess of the royal bloodline after the holy Prinzess Zelda.
But there was one prophecy about the returning of the great calamity which at the end became truth. The Story of Breath of the Wild.
There is another thing about the Triforce: I believe Zelda at the end was using the completed Triforce, extremely powerful to seal the Calamity away. Indeed she and Link defeated the Calamity but where was the calamity supposed to come from, when it was sealed 10.000 years away?
The answer is the corpse of the hero, which we see in the Tears of the Kingdom trailer. I will call the Corpse: “The Hero of the calamity” just to make it easier to identify what hero I am talking about.
The calamity is sealed but the malice, the curse is too maleficent to simply hold it back. It flows over the 10.000 years out of the body and became the hatred which united produces the Calamity of Ganon. It looks like ganon because over the thousand of years the malice and the demon Ganon got the same appearance because of the coexistence.
Zeldas sealing power vanished and so the triforce also did return to the sacred realm but the triforce of power is still bound to the Hero of the calamity in the past. Furthermore because of containing the calamity in his body he will become just a puppet of Demise’s Curse when he awakens and will be our enemy to either liberate him from the curse or destroy him with the curse.
I think the piece of courage will be given to Link after completing all the new trial in Tears of the Kingdom. The awakening of the Hero of the Calamity, brings darkness to the land and destroy everything in Hyule.
That’s the reason, why I am really sure we will travel through the time to prevent the downfall of the Kingdom of Hyrule.
But then, we might get a typical time travel paradox here, like we've had since Oot and the timelines split.
So if Link really travels back in time, he would meet the ancient Zelda, the hero from 10,000 years / aka Hero of the calamity and then the Triforce would finally be united as well, since no part would be missing. As in Age of Calamity, time travel would be given different conditions and bring about a different ending, a new time split will be created. With Age of Calamity, Botw and Tears of the Kingdom we would end up with three timelines again like in Ocarina of time.
PS.: What you mentioned before in your video, that Ganons Resurrection is connected to the Triforce of Power therefore I guess that was the reason Ganondorf and Ganon became one at all. Ganondorf as King proved himself worthy as well to get the Triforce of Power but his greed to rule all of Hyrule was the agent of is own path to darkness. He only wanted prosperity for his tribe but at any cost.
I read all this which is why I deserve the triforce of wisdom, but I do like the idea of an antihero Gerudo where he helps fight alongside Link and Zelda to destroy Demise. Then you could go down the route of finding Demise had passed on the malice to another villainous god, and to make the curse stronger, Demise has to die too. Would be a good way to “end the timeline” of Demise and change the rules of the curse to keep things fresh in the future.
@@Giddawid Indeed you deserved it!!
Would be really interesting to see breaking Demises curse and annihilating it.
@@JarumaruKnox ¿Would the Golden Goddesses allow it? They didn't back in the "Era of Myth" so the conflict with the Demon King might only continue past Tears of the Kingdom's storyline.
@@javiervasquez625 Idk, but what I know is that the goddesses are really changeable. For example You see Ganondorf obtaining the Triforce of Power during his execution in Twilight Princess, although they could have simply let him die 🤔 …but they haven’t.
I am afraid, we can’t be sure about the future of Ganon, Demise and the goddess Hylia etc until Totk isn’t released.
@@JarumaruKnox _"You see Ganondorf obtaining the Triforce of Power during his execution in Twilight Princess, although they could have simply left him die..."_
The reason why Ganondorf was granted the Triforce of Power was because of the "divine prank" that Ocarina of Time Ganondorf made after he shattered the full Triforce into it's 3 pieces which ALSO shattered in the Child Timeline. Remember that it was the Golden Goddesses that flooded the kingdom of Hyrule after the people prayed for them to assist them due to the Hero of Time's departure from this timeline. The Goddesses couldn't stop Twilight Ganondorf from gaining the Triforce of Power as they were *unaware* that he carried it within his person at the time of his execution. The Triforce is a divine object that transcends reality itself and so it's power goes beyond the boundaries of time and space.
With that said i agree that it's up to Tears of the Kingdom to unveil the truth regarding the Ganondorf, the Goddesses and Hylia. Hopefully all of our questions will be answered once we play the game.
I don't think Ganondorf necessarily died at the end of Twilight Princess, rather he just lost his triforce of power. He was still alive but in a coma-like state where he could not move but was still alive, hence him being sealed with the hand deep below Hyrule Castle maybe even in the sewers that we traverse in TP as Wolf Link... Or further below that
Excellent thought 😎
But he die. The next game after Twilight Princess is Four Swords Adventure and it along with Hyrule Historia and several other sources states that Ganondorf reincarnated and became Ganon after getting his hands on the Dark Trident.
Can anyone tell me where the location is at 0:15 in BOTW?
A lot of people speculate that it’s a Zonai temple
