I think that ancient technology is actually made of LIQUID LIGHT (yes this really EXISTS - only in laboratory for now-) it is another state of matter from the quantum physics and it perfectly explains the guardian beam and the rune's liquid at the same time! m.phys.org/news/2017-06-stream-superfluid.html
You know what else is BLUE???? The champions’ tunics. The royal garb was passed down from generation to generation and can be woven into new clothes like how princess Zelda did for the 5 champions. But the tunic has one of the best stats in game despite looking like a loose T-shirt with the only distinguishing quality being.... that it’s BLUE. There’s definitely maybe a connection here
Manipulating time with Time Shift Stone. Sheikah technology uses them. Wouldn't that explain why the Sheikah Slate grants Link the ability to stop time via Stasis and Stasis+?
Yeah, this theory holds up. The older technology is, the longer the battery lasts: - Ancient technology: Runs dry after an aeon. - Nokia 3310: Runs dry after a week. - Modern phones: Run dry after 12 hours.

This might be 6 months late, but what if the Shrine of Ressurection's is in fact powered by Timeshift Stones. Its described as a ''healing facility'' with a ''long term statis chamber'', but what if it is instead stopping and reversing time on biological beings, which could be probably way harder to realize on biological beings. On a 99% dead Link, it might have really taken 100 years to undo, not ''heal'', Link's damaged body. The design of the sheikah mechanism above Link's stasis pool is more unique, curvy and clearly biological/vegetal looking just like blood vessels or tree roots, unlike almost all of the other sheika technology which tends to be robotic and very angular. I couldnt be surprised if the Shrine of Ressurection was in fact a very unique facility, built to test/utilize timeshift stone energy on biological complex beings, and it shows on the way the technology is shaped.
I think it's actually healing. Robbie's journal isn't specific using the word "recover", but the first time Link meets him after waking up, Robbie asks to see his scars. It's stated in his diary how he felt about link's suffering. What matters though is that Link still have the scars as stated by Robbie at that exact same moment.
Okay so Link and Zelda make it to Kakariko village. Zelda can't use her powers so she starts research about Sheikah technology. With the help of Impa's extended library hidden under her house and Purah and Robbie, they find out that Sheikah technology has helped defeating Calamity Ganon another time. When the signs of the actual first appearance of Calamity Ganon appeared, no one wanted to risk their strong warriors dead, so the Sheikah dug up the time stone technology. The Sheikah took all credit and claimed that they invented all the technology, when in reality, the time stone technology was just the base of Sheikah technology, like taking a moter from one car and inserting it into another. This is also the reason Sheikah technology looks different from time stone technology. As Calamity Ganon prepared to enter Hyrule, the Sheikah decided to make Cucco armor* so they'd have a chance of defeating him (Link was still asleep). Unfortunately the armor failed and all but one cucco died, this cucco would later become the ancestor of all modern-day cuccos (which is why they're so strong). This cucco actually killed Ganon. Knowing all this, Zelda quickly found the cucco armor in another secret basement and improved it until it was perfected. Cado's grandfather trained his cuccos and combined with the armor, they were undefeatable. Ganon was permanently defeated and they all celebrated. But in the end the cuccos turned around and killed everyone TL;DR Cuccos and everyone dies *I didn't develope my original theory correctly
Good video and good theory but I have to point out that all of the electric weapons (all elemental weapons really ) are magically imbued not technologically, thus making them inconsequential to whether hyleans did or did not have the technology to harness electricity. On an another note your theory has given me some new ideas for my liquid data theory.
I think that it would basically become an apocalyptic world. With Link not hiding/healing in the shrine of resurrection, and Zelda not holding him back, Ganon would use the guardians to look for them. Kakiriko, Hateno, etc. would become like Castle Town and Hyrule Castle, ruins across Hyrule. There would be small civilizations spread out across Hyrule (likely close to shrines). Link and Zelda would be forced to move to different locations as they are Ganon's targets,leaving it unsafe for them to stay put. Except maybe the Gerudo desert(ignoring the monsters), because I don't recall encountering guardians there.
I think that Hateno village would become the new capital and this would be an all out war. If it became a game it might be a fire emblem crossover with some Zelda elements and other stuff but plays like a fire emblem game. I think you'd be trying to fortify different places against Ganon with Sheikah tech and magic. Every blood moon Ganon grows stronger. It might have some stealth kind of missions. Pretty much you'd start off trapped in Hateno village and would have to secure areas around shrines and eventually build back an army. So it'd have open world elements with fire emblem gameplay. Sorry if this was incoherent and repetitive. Also guerilla warfare.
Dayala Singh There was a mod for Total War: Medieval II called Hyrule: Total War. It was pretty good! Although Total War: Medieval II is a really old game so I wish the mod could’ve moved on to a more modern Total War but I’d still check it out if you can.
Actually while I was looking at it just now I found out that there is a successor of the mod called Hyrule Conquest which is a mod of 0 A.D which is free! It’s meant to be like Age of Empires and it’s still being developed :)
See, I was imagining that rather than the flame of the furnace being the power source of the entire thing, that it was simply a flame produced by the actual power source inside, carrying the same energy.
Fire is technically not plasma.... Its neither of the four states of matter because it isn't matter at all it is just the experience of combustion releasing radiation in the form of photons which we humans perceive as a real object
my theory is that link and zelda would still experience a similar situation that would activate zeldas power and link almost dying. it would only happen at a later date
great theory guys! One thing I noticed by watching, the way the ancient furnaces are powered could be that the timeshift stones are combusting to create the fire, or that the timeshift stone sparked the fire of it
If Zelda did not use her sealing power at the fort, then Hateno village would have been hurt by the guardians. That might mean that you, as a player, would not be able to go to that tech lab because it would have been destroyed. If they both went to Kakariko village, then it is possible that the would talk to Impa and Link might be able to meet Kass's teacher (Robbie) and have him create the guardian weapons you can get in the game later. This might need more evidence, but this would change the game and how Link and Zelda are affected. (Side note what if Zelda went to the shrine of resurrection?)
10:23 "some of these derelict models have been known to awaken from SATIS." statis is also a rune to freeze objects and enemies, maybe that is also a reason why they still work
Love this timestone theory and they probably are made out of the same stuff, but the highly advanced civilization part I don't think is referencing the same Sheikah that we see in BoTW. Because that would mean the sheikah were Highly advance prior to skyward sword, then somehow forget everything and become not highly advance relying more on mysticism and magic/dark ninja like ways, than years later way after OoT, TP, etc. revert back to being a people who embraced advance technology over magic. That would be the only way to work, because when Impa is referencing "highly advance civilization", 1- she is talking about all hyrule, not just the sheikah tribe, 2- that all takes place within the BoTW part of the series which would be way, way past Skyward Blade. Just saying. Love the video
The shiekah monk was preserved in time stone energy... then when we disturbed* the barrier the monk transformed into "GREEN" energy... is this a possible botw 2 theory?
NBC the part where you talk about the robots in Skyward sword, there’s another robot in the area and if you talk to him he tells you he’s powered by electricity
My guess is that the energy that powers the robots and guardians can be used to generate electricity. Shiekah tech isn't made of Time Shift Stone, but uses the same energy.
Timeshift stones that are turned off are orange/yellow-ish. The ones that are activated are blue. This can be seen in some shrine puzzles in BotW, when you set down an orb and it gets activated vs when it's just standing by. The same could be true for the ancient cores you find (when you pick them up they're yellow, but will probably turn blue when inside an active Guardian.
here's another hypothesis... if the columns around Hyrule Castle are, in fact, timeshift stones (or powered by large amounts of them) they could have generated a field around the castle. That could be why Princess Zelda didn't age at all over the last 100 years while link was enjoying his century long spa treatment...
FINALLY I've been connecting beemos and guardians for so long now I can't remember when the idea first started. glad to see someone with a following talk about it.
I'm so glad you used so much SS lore (and that you picked up the game again.) It's my favorite Zelda game, and I love how it can be used for reference. The desert was so annoying for me if I remember correctly lol. Other than the guardians in that time (SO SCARY)
Considering Link needs Zelda & her Power of Light (which is used by her Light Bow) I don't think they would be able to destroy or banish Ganon. In some Zelda games You don't need Zeldas Light Power but in BOTW you do. So I think they would be at war many years until she learns her power. There would also be less destruction since Link would be able to fight off many of the attacks.
I think that some of the guardians may not have become corrupted giving Hyrule a fighting chance. They could then make their way to Hyrule castle to face off with Ganon. Also before the Champions died they would’ve been able to help in some way instead of just dying the the blightganons.
I heard the piano the first time in the video while playing an entirely different game, and I still ran in my game. I was playing god of war. And I was talking to ratotosker. 😂
This theory is definitely busted. But not for the reason you guys stated. Ganon didn't even exist until OoT. The guardians were specifically made to fight Ganon. It even states that in game. That said the tech in SS could still be made by the sheikah but not for combating ganon.
The theory isn't necessarily that the Guardians from Breath of the Wild existed back in Skyward Sword, but the power source used for the ancient robots and mining facility is the same as the one used for the Sheikah Tech in Breath of the Wild. I'm not saying that Beamos ARE guardians, just an early design of them. But they were used strictly with the intent to defend the factory because at this time no one knew that Demise would appear.
@@NintendoBlackCrisis Okay I got that confused then because it felt like you guys were stating the guardians were made by the same people who made the machines and tech found SS.
The same reason as any other Ancient Weapon - the material isn't actually all that strong. Normal wear and tear doesn't affect it, but strong enough impact will still damage it.
Mind blowing video! This theory would also explain why the ancient arrows are so OP. When any living form is hit by it, the arrow moves the target through the time, either sending it to the future where it doesn't long exist, either sending it to the past, before it existence.
If time shift stones are the basis for sheika tech, then that would give the perfect explanation for the fast travel system. Remember, you need to go to the point and activate it before you can fast travel there. Later, when you want to travel back, the slate could be reversing time to the point when you activated the beacon.
Could this mean that 10,000 years ago is actually in the era of the goddess Hylia? And yes, I know that the Hyrule Royal Family was the one to banish the Sheikah, maybe in that case, the Sheikah retook the technology after the establishment of Hyrule and used it to make the land prosper. The only other inconsistency is that the Legend of the first Calamity Ganon, but maybe that could be another incarnation of Demise or an interpretation of Demise since it is a Legend.
Something you could have mentioned to solidify your theory even more would be that at 8:34 on the Beamos you can see things that look like ears and at 8:41 you can see the same type of "ears" on the defensive Guardian hinting that Beamos are a predecessor to the defensive Guardians.
@@themostbritishpersonalive868 Plasma is defined as a state of matter in which intense heat (or any other kind of subatomic "vibration") deconstructs nuclear bonds into free radicals (a description which directly fits fire), dingus.
If you count malice as a power source you'll have one for each piece of the triforce, Timeshift Stones for Wisdom, Electricity for Courage, and Malice for Power
Maybe a lot of people noticed but: the small robots from skyward sword, have some sort of hats, with three spike/spirals form... Kinda ressemble the ones on the walking guardians? Maybe the small robots were upgraded through the ages to ressemble a fighting/defense robot, more than "diggers". Maybe that meant they lost their conscious. Anither think, the beamos, have sort of ears? That turns like radars when spotting link. The still guardians around hyrule castle in BOTW also have those similar radars/rotating ears things! Like i said for the small robots, the guardians are just upgraded beamos!
I've been speculating for awhile that the 10,000 years refers to what might even be the ORIGINAL battle with Demise, the idea being that since Calamity Ganon is his most recent incarnation the legend has changed over that time such that his original name was forgotten. This was a key anchor point in that theory, though I'll also admit that I've been bothered by the notion of their being such an insanely long gap where potentially no existing Zelda games could fit.
consider this, the reason guardian beams do so much damage is because their literally shifting any matter they touch into a different time period, deleting it from existence. The reason the guardian armor defends against it is because it also uses timeshift stone technolgy to counter this time effect, but the reason their not 100% effective is simply because a guardian laser has a larger power source to draw from, allowing it to still slightly overpower the armor, though the more you upgrade the armor the more timeshift energy it can use to counter the guardian lasers, hence them decreasing their damage other armor decreases the damage simply by being more matter for the beam to pass through before starting to delete biological parts of their target.
Towers were buried under the ground, when Link activated the first one, all of the towers tose from the ground, so the guardian was just lying there and the tower rose right from below him
Honestly I think if Link and Zelda survived and retreated to Kakariko village, they would have had to go to Hateno at some point where the civilians would have started to get into the fight as well. They probably would play it safe for a while and specifically ask the Sheikah to help. But after being overwhelmed like that they'd either get civilians to help, or Ganons forces would have found their way through and the civilians would have been forced to help (and maybe even in some scenarios some other tribes would have had their civilians help though I personally see this as unlikely as they most likely would be discouraged and in mourning from their champions dying). In a similar situation as before with Link fighting for his life and so many civilians, untrained people including children and women whom Zeldas supposed to protect instead of trained guards who chose to and were meant to put their lives on the line for the kingdom, she would have been in such a state of grief that her power would have awakened. They would still be overwhelmed but I think Zelda could have found her way to Ganon and held him back, but obviously not without dire consequences to the rest of the kingdom. I think it's likely that Link may have died at some point here as well, that or Zelda would have managed to get the Sheikah to put him in the chamber of time. Whether he nearly dies during the battle against Ganons forces or Ganon himself, that's the question.
Woah. You actually did the theory I suggested to u. I feel a bit better about myself. And i know you probably were probably going to do this before I suggested it
So I have two main scenarios for what could’ve happened had Link and Zelda made it to Kakariko Village in BotW. If they had actually made it to Kakariko, Link would’ve needed time to heal from the fight at Fort Hateno. This would’ve also given Zelda and Link time to plan on their next move, and maybe unlock Zelda’s power. Scenario No. 1: Guardians follow them to Kakariko. Even if the path is too narrow for them to go through, Guardians have six legs, giving them incredible mobility-they can simply scale the cliffs alongside the path to Kakariko. In this scenario, it can split into four likely outcomes, two with Zelda unlocking her power, and two where she doesn’t. 1. Zelda and Link could die in Kakariko during the attack. 2. Zelda could also unlock her powers in Kakariko. What happens in this scenario depends on what action they take once they realize her power is unlocked, and there are far too many variables for me to figure that out, such as whether certain important Sheikah died in the attack, whether Link was injured further during the fight, etc. 3. The Sheikah could help Link and Zelda escape, but Zelda doesn’t unlock her powers. They are continually hunted down until they eventually die. 4. Similar to number three, but Zelda unlocks her powers somewhere along the way. Depending on how she can use her power, they could win or die, but in this scenario there are far too many variables to figure out exactly what they would do, such as where they go after Kakariko, when she unlocks her power, where she unlocks her power, etc. Scenario No. 2: They rest and recover in Kakariko. This is where the Guardians don’t follow them to Kakariko and they rest, recover, and plan there. This scenario can split into two likely outcomes. 1. Zelda finds a way to unlock her power with Impa, and thus they are able to effectively plan for Ganon’s defeat. Link recovers his strength in Kakariko, they put together a plan with the help of the Sheikah, and they are able to defeat Ganon. 2. Zelda cannot unlock her power no matter how hard she tries. The royal family’s power is required to seal away Ganon. Link and the Sheikah (maybe with help from other races) may put up a good fight, but in this scenario, they are doomed to fail without the power of the royal family.
Things like the Sheika Slate, the Guardians, the Towers, the Shrines and the Divine Beasts were probably made with Time Shift Stones, I agree. After all, they expected those things to be needed again when Calamity Ganon returns. However, there must have been a lot more technology that did not include Time Shift Stones and was therefore lost. I now envision a kind of cyberpunk setting ...
I think that whatever energy/essence/matter/force can shift time in tloz universe can also shift space. IRL (obviously) time and space are interconnected, one and the same, so it would make sense. It could explain how sheikah technology allows Link to teleport between shrines/towers.
My hypothesis would be that Time Shift Stones and Shiekah technology use the same form of energy rather than being made of the same substance. There is something often overlooked in the Zelda franchise, the source of both life and magic - Force. It's represented in many forms throughout the series - the Triforce is made up of the three components of Force, Force Gems are a crystalline form it can be condensed into, and the Light Force is the Force which can be weilded by the female blood members of the Royal family. My thought is that the Shiekah learned how to tap into whatever Force eminates from and based their technology on it. Most likely it originates on the Sacred Realm of a higher dimension which the Sacred Realm resides in, and the reason the King was distrusting of it was that he thought it was blasphemous or sacrilegious. Time Shift Stones use Force to manipulate time. Shiekah tech uses it as a power source, as well being how a purely mechanical construction like a Guardian can think and act on its own and be manipulated by Malice - they literally possess life in the same sense as any other living thing. And the blue flame isn't a literal flame. You know where else we see blue flames beside ancient furnaces? Floating around the spirits of the King and the Champions.
Great video!!! I just love your theory videos! And if Link survived, Zelda and Link would go to Kakariko village and zelda would do research on the old shiekah tech with Impa and Link. Zelda would never gain her sealing power because she never saved Link, so she would maybe will like Link a bit less and retreat to research on how to take down Calamity Ganon and the Divine beasts as well. And if so... another timeline split because Link survived.
“Looks like YOU’VE figured out where I am going with this... don’t worry, I’ve got it from here.” That’s one of the worst script reads I’ve ever heard 🤣
I think Gannon would’ve took over at least all of Hyrule (Killing Impa and all other humans) If Link And Zelda would survive Zelda would go to the master sword, Link would have took it then they would take back the Divine Beasts and then attack Ganon. Ganon would have triple health (in normal form) however will have the bow of light .In dark matter form Zelda would give link protection (Like the Naboris fight) Impa’s soul and the Champions’ would help; Mipha: Healing and using her spear; Daruk: Give you protection and using his weapon; Revali: Shooting from afar; Urbosa: Stunning Ganon. Zelda & Impa would provide protection and strengthen the Champions’ abilities. OOF that was ALOT to write btw love you Nintendo Black Crisis!
This technology has appeared in too many shows and games to be coincidence. It's not just similar ether, it's exactly the same in every way! It powers Trunks time machine in Dragon Ball Z, it powers Atlantis in the Disney movie, It powers the Moon Kingdom in Sailor Moon, and even appears in Ice Age with Scrat in Space! Very Strange!
After playing skyward sword again, I would argue that despite being called time shift stones, I don’t believe it’s actually manipulating time. Based on the sheikah logo on the stones, the tribe was very primitive (as primitive as sheikah could be). This raises the question of how the stones are able to return lanayru To it’s older state. Rather than manipulating time, they are absorbing the surroundings of the world and storing it to be placed another time. Not quite time travel but close. We know this material is able to store information based on the stones updating the sheikah slate and it’s runes. And we know the material is able to transport items to different locations based on the fast travel mechanic in breath of the wild. If the stones would manipulate time why would the change not be permanent after being turned off? The “time shift” stones might have been used in particular areas that were hotspots in mining for the material. Thus when the stone is deactivated, all bits of the work or information that was collected returns to the stone. This could also be proven I guess by the fact that the technology doesn’t have any mention of time by the time of botw. Perhaps showing that the sheikah had begun to understand the capabilities of this material. I would also go as far as comparing this material to vibranium. The strongest metal in the marvel universe. This metal being used for technology, weapons, medicine, architecture, etc. But, this is just a theory. This mysterious material is only known by the ancient sheikah and the game developers haha.
The theory with the timeshift stones would explain, why link can use stasis and stasis+! Idk if you mentioned it in the video, but it also would explain why link could be revived again!
OMG. Ok. I have a theory idea for you. Could the crystals in the BotW sequel trailer be made by the Shiekah??? May be a stupid theory, just saying that maybe it could be
Another form of the liquid state could be the Shrine of Resurrection itself, Link was put to rest on this blue liquid to recover. What if he wasn't recovering, but going back in time to a state on where he hasn't being wounded?
Did you see the teardrop shaped lanterns in the shrines? Those could be the timeshift stones the shrines run on because they are in every shrine, which would mean this theory could not be disproved. The pedestal-like objects that they rest on top of look uncannily similar to the pedestals the timeshift stones are seen on top of.
If Link and Zelda made it to Kakariko I suspect they would have been able to successfully organize some kind of force to face Calamity Ganon based from Kakariko. That would result in a war, but a brief one. The hylian coalition would have to focus on R&D to counter the guardian threat. Making there true enemy time. As Ganon still has control over the guardians and divine beasts, as well as the hordes of monsters. Even ignoring the possibility that Ganon could still summon a blood moon, the hylian coalition would have a distinct advantages on a rate of trained or semi trained soldiers. Let alone the difference in artillery. In battle Ganon could easily use some sort of blitzkrieg maneuver using the guardians to annihilate hylian forces. The hylian coalition would eventually be overrun. Losing the war to Ganon.
Wow, you've definitely done your homework on this! I enjoyed this theory. I don't comment hardly on your videos (or any video for that matter) but I think you do really good on each of your theories. As for the theory about Link surviving and not waiting 100 years, I'm gonna do some looking into that and thinking :o Also, whens your next Skyward Sword stream? ;)
While item descriptions hint at previous games such as Rock Salt possibly hinting Wind Waker and Ancient materials hinting Skyward Sword, I think they’re supposed to only hint at the games but not actually connect BotW with them .

This might be 6 months late, but what if the Shrine of Ressurection's is in fact powered by Timeshift Stones. Its described as a ''healing facility'' with a ''long term statis chamber'', but what if it is instead stopping and reversing time on biological beings, which could be probably way harder to realize on biological beings. On a 99% dead Link, it might have really taken 100 years to undo, not ''heal'', Link's damaged body.
The design of the sheikah mechanism above Link's stasis pool is more unique, curvy and clearly biological/vegetal looking just like blood vessels or tree roots, unlike almost all of the other sheika technology which tends to be robotic and very angular. I couldnt be surprised if the Shrine of Ressurection was in fact a very unique facility, built to test/utilize timeshift stone energy on biological complex beings, and it shows on the way the technology is shaped.
I think it's actually healing. Robbie's journal isn't specific using the word "recover", but the first time Link meets him after waking up, Robbie asks to see his scars. It's stated in his diary how he felt about link's suffering. What matters though is that Link still have the scars as stated by Robbie at that exact same moment.
link should’ve ate some wild greens rather than getting stasis’d in the shrine of resurrection

If Link would have survived... Sounds like another timeline-split to me.
That’s cause it is
Dammit.
You predicted Age of Calamity
@@JoseLopez-qt2fx Just assume any timeline-split in the Zelda-Universe and it's gonna happen eventually.
When Croton takes over NBCs channel and NBC becomes the guest of it.
Okay so Link and Zelda make it to Kakariko village. Zelda can't use her powers so she starts research about Sheikah technology. With the help of Impa's extended library hidden under her house and Purah and Robbie, they find out that Sheikah technology has helped defeating Calamity Ganon another time.
When the signs of the actual first appearance of Calamity Ganon appeared, no one wanted to risk their strong warriors dead, so the Sheikah dug up the time stone technology. The Sheikah took all credit and claimed that they invented all the technology, when in reality, the time stone technology was just the base of Sheikah technology, like taking a moter from one car and inserting it into another. This is also the reason Sheikah technology looks different from time stone technology.
As Calamity Ganon prepared to enter Hyrule, the Sheikah decided to make Cucco armor* so they'd have a chance of defeating him (Link was still asleep). Unfortunately the armor failed and all but one cucco died, this cucco would later become the ancestor of all modern-day cuccos (which is why they're so strong). This cucco actually killed Ganon.
Knowing all this, Zelda quickly found the cucco armor in another secret basement and improved it until it was perfected. Cado's grandfather trained his cuccos and combined with the armor, they were undefeatable. Ganon was permanently defeated and they all celebrated.
But in the end the cuccos turned around and killed everyone
TL;DR Cuccos and everyone dies

That is not what I expected that to go
12:10 there is literally a crystal that’s looks like a time shift stone right behind one of the sheikas in this scene
I’ve just watched this again, and I’ve noticed that when the monks dissolve, they’re the same color as the spiral in the sequel trailer.
Good video and good theory but I have to point out that all of the electric weapons (all elemental weapons really ) are magically imbued not technologically, thus making them inconsequential to whether hyleans did or did not have the technology to harness electricity.
On an another note your theory has given me some new ideas for my liquid data theory.
I think that it would basically become an apocalyptic world. With Link not hiding/healing in the shrine of resurrection, and Zelda not holding him back, Ganon would use the guardians to look for them. Kakiriko, Hateno, etc. would become like Castle Town and Hyrule Castle, ruins across Hyrule. There would be small civilizations spread out across Hyrule (likely close to shrines). Link and Zelda would be forced to move to different locations as they are Ganon's targets,leaving it unsafe for them to stay put. Except maybe the Gerudo desert(ignoring the monsters), because I don't recall encountering guardians there.
I think that Hateno village would become the new capital and this would be an all out war. If it became a game it might be a fire emblem crossover with some Zelda elements and other stuff but plays like a fire emblem game. I think you'd be trying to fortify different places against Ganon with Sheikah tech and magic. Every blood moon Ganon grows stronger. It might have some stealth kind of missions. Pretty much you'd start off trapped in Hateno village and would have to secure areas around shrines and eventually build back an army. So it'd have open world elements with fire emblem gameplay. Sorry if this was incoherent and repetitive. Also guerilla warfare.

I loved the Zelda total war mod so something even more in-depth would GREATLY satisfy my strategic needs!
@@sinecosine7493 wait what's that?
Dayala Singh
There was a mod for Total War: Medieval II called Hyrule: Total War.
It was pretty good!
Although Total War: Medieval II is a really old game so I wish the mod could’ve moved on to a more modern Total War but I’d still check it out if you can.
Actually while I was looking at it just now I found out that there is a successor of the mod called Hyrule Conquest which is a mod of 0 A.D which is free!
It’s meant to be like Age of Empires and it’s still being developed :)
@@sinecosine7493 what's 0 A.D. though?
See, I was imagining that rather than the flame of the furnace being the power source of the entire thing, that it was simply a flame produced by the actual power source inside, carrying the same energy.
You know fire is a plasma right? Like, no matter how hot?
This was the comment I was looking for.
Fire is plasma, the gas state would be whatever keeps the blue flame lit.
Fire is technically not plasma....
Its neither of the four states of matter
because it isn't matter at all
it is just the experience of combustion releasing radiation in the form of photons which we humans perceive as a real object
@@pranavkondapalli9306 but you can conduct electricity thru a fire because of the free flow of electrons. It's kinda like a quasi form of plasma
No fire is a gas plasma can't be put out by water
@@themostbritishpersonalive868 lol what
my theory is that link and zelda would still experience a similar situation that would activate zeldas power and link almost dying. it would only happen at a later date
You should make a video with zeltik.
He has.
Pepper Johnson which one?
@@dworlock1184 Search "Zeltik ft Nintendo Black Crisis" and you will see several videos they made together.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio Wow it’s been a year since I left this comment. I don’t even watch these videos anymore, but thanks for the help anyway
great theory guys!
One thing I noticed by watching, the way the ancient furnaces are powered could be that the timeshift stones are combusting to create the fire, or that the timeshift stone sparked the fire of it
If Zelda did not use her sealing power at the fort, then Hateno village would have been hurt by the guardians. That might mean that you, as a player, would not be able to go to that tech lab because it would have been destroyed. If they both went to Kakariko village, then it is possible that the would talk to Impa and Link might be able to meet Kass's teacher (Robbie) and have him create the guardian weapons you can get in the game later. This might need more evidence, but this would change the game and how Link and Zelda are affected. (Side note what if Zelda went to the shrine of resurrection?)
10:23 "some of these derelict models have been known to awaken from SATIS." statis is also a rune to freeze objects and enemies, maybe that is also a reason why they still work
Love this timestone theory and they probably are made out of the same stuff, but the highly advanced civilization part I don't think is referencing the same Sheikah that we see in BoTW. Because that would mean the sheikah were Highly advance prior to skyward sword, then somehow forget everything and become not highly advance relying more on mysticism and magic/dark ninja like ways, than years later way after OoT, TP, etc. revert back to being a people who embraced advance technology over magic.
That would be the only way to work, because when Impa is referencing "highly advance civilization", 1- she is talking about all hyrule, not just the sheikah tribe, 2- that all takes place within the BoTW part of the series which would be way, way past Skyward Blade. Just saying. Love the video
I just realized that Purah must have used stone powers to regenerate herself
like it's obvious after watching this video
So are we going to talk about why they are harnessing Ganondorf’s body to “power” the ancient technology under the Hyrule Castle?
The shiekah monk was preserved in time stone energy... then when we disturbed* the barrier the monk transformed into "GREEN" energy... is this a possible botw 2 theory?
13:39 You do know flames are a form of plasma right! Awesome.
NBC the part where you talk about the robots in Skyward sword, there’s another robot in the area and if you talk to him he tells you he’s powered by electricity
My guess is that the energy that powers the robots and guardians can be used to generate electricity. Shiekah tech isn't made of Time Shift Stone, but uses the same energy.
Timeshift stones that are turned off are orange/yellow-ish. The ones that are activated are blue. This can be seen in some shrine puzzles in BotW, when you set down an orb and it gets activated vs when it's just standing by. The same could be true for the ancient cores you find (when you pick them up they're yellow, but will probably turn blue when inside an active Guardian.
One thing for sure, all this in depth thinking, is surely making BoTW a masterpiece.
Nahhhh...... ;p
Love this theory its amazing
here's another hypothesis... if the columns around Hyrule Castle are, in fact, timeshift stones (or powered by large amounts of them) they could have generated a field around the castle. That could be why Princess Zelda didn't age at all over the last 100 years while link was enjoying his century long spa treatment...
2:02 AHHH THAT MUSIC BRINGS BACK PAINFUL MEMORIES
FINALLY
I've been connecting beemos and guardians for so long now I can't remember when the idea first started.
glad to see someone with a following talk about it.
I'm so glad you used so much SS lore (and that you picked up the game again.) It's my favorite Zelda game, and I love how it can be used for reference. The desert was so annoying for me if I remember correctly lol. Other than the guardians in that time (SO SCARY)
Considering Link needs Zelda & her Power of Light (which is used by her Light Bow) I don't think they would be able to destroy or banish Ganon. In some Zelda games You don't need Zeldas Light Power but in BOTW you do. So I think they would be at war many years until she learns her power. There would also be less destruction since Link would be able to fight off many of the attacks.
I think that some of the guardians may not have become corrupted giving Hyrule a fighting chance. They could then make their way to Hyrule castle to face off with Ganon. Also before the Champions died they would’ve been able to help in some way instead of just dying the the blightganons.
I think that the malice activated the time shift stones in guardians making them active.
One thing you didn't mention : the "ears" of the factory's guard towers are the same design as the castle's guardian towers.
Same design, same source?
I heard the piano the first time in the video while playing an entirely different game, and I still ran in my game. I was playing god of war. And I was talking to ratotosker. 😂
This theory is definitely busted. But not for the reason you guys stated. Ganon didn't even exist until OoT. The guardians were specifically made to fight Ganon. It even states that in game. That said the tech in SS could still be made by the sheikah but not for combating ganon.
The theory isn't necessarily that the Guardians from Breath of the Wild existed back in Skyward Sword, but the power source used for the ancient robots and mining facility is the same as the one used for the Sheikah Tech in Breath of the Wild. I'm not saying that Beamos ARE guardians, just an early design of them. But they were used strictly with the intent to defend the factory because at this time no one knew that Demise would appear.
@@NintendoBlackCrisis Okay I got that confused then because it felt like you guys were stating the guardians were made by the same people who made the machines and tech found SS.
ganon existed in loz lttp
Faith Idelson link to the past canonically exists after Ocarina of Time.
one more question: how are the acient weapons (made in cherry) so fragile then?
The same reason as any other Ancient Weapon - the material isn't actually all that strong. Normal wear and tear doesn't affect it, but strong enough impact will still damage it.
Mind blowing video!
This theory would also explain why the ancient arrows are so OP. When any living form is hit by it, the arrow moves the target through the time, either sending it to the future where it doesn't long exist, either sending it to the past, before it existence.
I like this theory. It also plays in well to the idea that Hylia is the Goddess of Time mentioned in Majora's Mask.
If time shift stones are the basis for sheika tech, then that would give the perfect explanation for the fast travel system. Remember, you need to go to the point and activate it before you can fast travel there. Later, when you want to travel back, the slate could be reversing time to the point when you activated the beacon.
Honestly this just adds to my own belief that the “10 thousand years ago” mentioned in BOTW not too long after Skyward Sword
Could this mean that 10,000 years ago is actually in the era of the goddess Hylia? And yes, I know that the Hyrule Royal Family was the one to banish the Sheikah, maybe in that case, the Sheikah retook the technology after the establishment of Hyrule and used it to make the land prosper. The only other inconsistency is that the Legend of the first Calamity Ganon, but maybe that could be another incarnation of Demise or an interpretation of Demise since it is a Legend.
6:04 LMAO I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE UNTIL THE “pause for comedic effect” HAHASJSHSH
Something you could have mentioned to solidify your theory even more would be that at 8:34 on the Beamos you can see things that look like ears and at 8:41 you can see the same type of "ears" on the defensive Guardian hinting that Beamos are a predecessor to the defensive Guardians.
Fire is a plasma, dingus.
Fire is a gas dummy plasma can't be set out by water look it up
@@themostbritishpersonalive868 Plasma is defined as a state of matter in which intense heat (or any other kind of subatomic "vibration") deconstructs nuclear bonds into free radicals (a description which directly fits fire), dingus.
I love this theory makes a lot of sense, glad to see someone pointed out and theorized on the many correlations between botw and skyball blade.
the time juice that link was sleeping in for all that time could also be timestones.
If you count malice as a power source you'll have one for each piece of the triforce, Timeshift Stones for Wisdom, Electricity for Courage, and Malice for Power
Maybe a lot of people noticed but: the small robots from skyward sword, have some sort of hats, with three spike/spirals form... Kinda ressemble the ones on the walking guardians? Maybe the small robots were upgraded through the ages to ressemble a fighting/defense robot, more than "diggers". Maybe that meant they lost their conscious.
Anither think, the beamos, have sort of ears? That turns like radars when spotting link. The still guardians around hyrule castle in BOTW also have those similar radars/rotating ears things! Like i said for the small robots, the guardians are just upgraded beamos!
I love how the real intro says "Nintendo Black Crouton"
I've been speculating for awhile that the 10,000 years refers to what might even be the ORIGINAL battle with Demise, the idea being that since Calamity Ganon is his most recent incarnation the legend has changed over that time such that his original name was forgotten. This was a key anchor point in that theory, though I'll also admit that I've been bothered by the notion of their being such an insanely long gap where potentially no existing Zelda games could fit.
consider this, the reason guardian beams do so much damage is because their literally shifting any matter they touch into a different time period, deleting it from existence. The reason the guardian armor defends against it is because it also uses timeshift stone technolgy to counter this time effect, but the reason their not 100% effective is simply because a guardian laser has a larger power source to draw from, allowing it to still slightly overpower the armor, though the more you upgrade the armor the more timeshift energy it can use to counter the guardian lasers, hence them decreasing their damage
other armor decreases the damage simply by being more matter for the beam to pass through before starting to delete biological parts of their target.
I have always wondered something. How did the decayed Guardian at 14:05 even get up on that tower?
Towers were buried under the ground, when Link activated the first one, all of the towers tose from the ground, so the guardian was just lying there and the tower rose right from below him
Honestly I think if Link and Zelda survived and retreated to Kakariko village, they would have had to go to Hateno at some point where the civilians would have started to get into the fight as well. They probably would play it safe for a while and specifically ask the Sheikah to help. But after being overwhelmed like that they'd either get civilians to help, or Ganons forces would have found their way through and the civilians would have been forced to help (and maybe even in some scenarios some other tribes would have had their civilians help though I personally see this as unlikely as they most likely would be discouraged and in mourning from their champions dying). In a similar situation as before with Link fighting for his life and so many civilians, untrained people including children and women whom Zeldas supposed to protect instead of trained guards who chose to and were meant to put their lives on the line for the kingdom, she would have been in such a state of grief that her power would have awakened. They would still be overwhelmed but I think Zelda could have found her way to Ganon and held him back, but obviously not without dire consequences to the rest of the kingdom. I think it's likely that Link may have died at some point here as well, that or Zelda would have managed to get the Sheikah to put him in the chamber of time. Whether he nearly dies during the battle against Ganons forces or Ganon himself, that's the question.
2:39
"Oh,looks like I'm problably going to die
...But first,let me take a selfie"
Woah. You actually did the theory I suggested to u. I feel a bit better about myself. And i know you probably were probably going to do this before I suggested it
ohhh, you done it now. One dose not simply say "Sky-bound blade"
So I have two main scenarios for what could’ve happened had Link and Zelda made it to Kakariko Village in BotW.
If they had actually made it to Kakariko, Link would’ve needed time to heal from the fight at Fort Hateno. This would’ve also given Zelda and Link time to plan on their next move, and maybe unlock Zelda’s power.
Scenario No. 1:
Guardians follow them to Kakariko.
Even if the path is too narrow for them to go through, Guardians have six legs, giving them incredible mobility-they can simply scale the cliffs alongside the path to Kakariko. In this scenario, it can split into four likely outcomes, two with Zelda unlocking her power, and two where she doesn’t.
1. Zelda and Link could die in Kakariko during the attack.
2. Zelda could also unlock her powers in Kakariko. What happens in this scenario depends on what action they take once they realize her power is unlocked, and there are far too many variables for me to figure that out, such as whether certain important Sheikah died in the attack, whether Link was injured further during the fight, etc.
3. The Sheikah could help Link and Zelda escape, but Zelda doesn’t unlock her powers. They are continually hunted down until they eventually die.
4. Similar to number three, but Zelda unlocks her powers somewhere along the way. Depending on how she can use her power, they could win or die, but in this scenario there are far too many variables to figure out exactly what they would do, such as where they go after Kakariko, when she unlocks her power, where she unlocks her power, etc.
Scenario No. 2:
They rest and recover in Kakariko.
This is where the Guardians don’t follow them to Kakariko and they rest, recover, and plan there. This scenario can split into two likely outcomes.
1. Zelda finds a way to unlock her power with Impa, and thus they are able to effectively plan for Ganon’s defeat. Link recovers his strength in Kakariko, they put together a plan with the help of the Sheikah, and they are able to defeat Ganon.
2. Zelda cannot unlock her power no matter how hard she tries. The royal family’s power is required to seal away Ganon. Link and the Sheikah (maybe with help from other races) may put up a good fight, but in this scenario, they are doomed to fail without the power of the royal family.
The fact that the sheika made things to restore links power could mean they knew that link would lose his power
Also the Zora would hate them
Things like the Sheika Slate, the Guardians, the Towers, the Shrines and the Divine Beasts were probably made with Time Shift Stones, I agree. After all, they expected those things to be needed again when Calamity Ganon returns. However, there must have been a lot more technology that did not include Time Shift Stones and was therefore lost. I now envision a kind of cyberpunk setting ...
Pretty sure gnoggin made a video in which he theorized that the Sheikah slate contained a time shift stone. I'd say this is on point.
I think that whatever energy/essence/matter/force can shift time in tloz universe can also shift space. IRL (obviously) time and space are interconnected, one and the same, so it would make sense. It could explain how sheikah technology allows Link to teleport between shrines/towers.
My hypothesis would be that Time Shift Stones and Shiekah technology use the same form of energy rather than being made of the same substance. There is something often overlooked in the Zelda franchise, the source of both life and magic - Force.
It's represented in many forms throughout the series - the Triforce is made up of the three components of Force, Force Gems are a crystalline form it can be condensed into, and the Light Force is the Force which can be weilded by the female blood members of the Royal family.
My thought is that the Shiekah learned how to tap into whatever Force eminates from and based their technology on it. Most likely it originates on the Sacred Realm of a higher dimension which the Sacred Realm resides in, and the reason the King was distrusting of it was that he thought it was blasphemous or sacrilegious.
Time Shift Stones use Force to manipulate time. Shiekah tech uses it as a power source, as well being how a purely mechanical construction like a Guardian can think and act on its own and be manipulated by Malice - they literally possess life in the same sense as any other living thing. And the blue flame isn't a literal flame. You know where else we see blue flames beside ancient furnaces? Floating around the spirits of the King and the Champions.
About link surviving...the calamity would have gone worse than it was over 100 years
Great video!!! I just love your theory videos! And if Link survived, Zelda and Link would go to Kakariko village and zelda would do research on the old shiekah tech with Impa and Link. Zelda would never gain her sealing power because she never saved Link, so she would maybe will like Link a bit less and retreat to research on how to take down Calamity Ganon and the Divine beasts as well. And if so... another timeline split because Link survived.
“Looks like YOU’VE figured out where I am going with this... don’t worry, I’ve got it from here.”
That’s one of the worst script reads I’ve ever heard 🤣
I think Gannon would’ve took over at least all of Hyrule (Killing Impa and all other humans) If Link And Zelda would survive Zelda would go to the master sword, Link would have took it then they would take back the Divine Beasts and then attack Ganon. Ganon would have triple health (in normal form) however will have the bow of light .In dark matter form Zelda would give link protection (Like the Naboris fight) Impa’s soul and the Champions’ would help; Mipha: Healing and using her spear; Daruk: Give you protection and using his weapon; Revali: Shooting from afar; Urbosa: Stunning Ganon. Zelda & Impa would provide protection and strengthen the Champions’ abilities.
OOF that was ALOT to write btw love you Nintendo Black Crisis!
This technology has appeared in too many shows and games to be coincidence. It's not just similar ether, it's exactly the same in every way! It powers Trunks time machine in Dragon Ball Z, it powers Atlantis in the Disney movie, It powers the Moon Kingdom in Sailor Moon, and even appears in Ice Age with Scrat in Space! Very Strange!
Wow. Solid theory. Also, I think all three of your assumptions in the Link Survives theory are correct.
I love your content so much NBC! You have such an awesome personality.
After playing skyward sword again, I would argue that despite being called time shift stones, I don’t believe it’s actually manipulating time. Based on the sheikah logo on the stones, the tribe was very primitive (as primitive as sheikah could be). This raises the question of how the stones are able to return lanayru
To it’s older state. Rather than manipulating time, they are absorbing the surroundings of the world and storing it to be placed another time. Not quite time travel but close. We know this material is able to store information based on the stones updating the sheikah slate and it’s runes. And we know the material is able to transport items to different locations based on the fast travel mechanic in breath of the wild. If the stones would manipulate time why would the change not be permanent after being turned off? The “time shift” stones might have been used in particular areas that were hotspots in mining for the material. Thus when the stone is deactivated, all bits of the work or information that was collected returns to the stone. This could also be proven I guess by the fact that the technology doesn’t have any mention of time by the time of botw. Perhaps showing that the sheikah had begun to understand the capabilities of this material. I would also go as far as comparing this material to vibranium. The strongest metal in the marvel universe. This metal being used for technology, weapons, medicine, architecture, etc. But, this is just a theory. This mysterious material is only known by the ancient sheikah and the game developers haha.
This is really cool to think about! I just thought that the blue flame was the flame of Nayru.
I'm glad to see people still making botw videos!
And there's more to come!
@@NintendoBlackCrisis I'm glad to hear that!
The theory with the timeshift stones would explain, why link can use stasis and stasis+! Idk if you mentioned it in the video, but it also would explain why link could be revived again!
OMG. Ok. I have a theory idea for you. Could the crystals in the BotW sequel trailer be made by the Shiekah??? May be a stupid theory, just saying that maybe it could be
When you cut a guardians leg, it spews out some energy that looks like a guardians beam.
Yo, where can I get that SkyBound Blade bootleg?
Another form of the liquid state could be the Shrine of Resurrection itself, Link was put to rest on this blue liquid to recover. What if he wasn't recovering, but going back in time to a state on where he hasn't being wounded?
Love your videos man! Keep them coming!
I just realized... You have a sheikah slate, Zelda gave you the sheikah slate, Zelda disguises her self-as a character named Sheik...
*MINDBLOWN*
2 years later and it looks like hyrule warriors has confirmed this. Only played the demo, but that tiny guardian can travel through time so
Did you see the teardrop shaped lanterns in the shrines? Those could be the timeshift stones the shrines run on because they are in every shrine, which would mean this theory could not be disproved. The pedestal-like objects that they rest on top of look uncannily similar to the pedestals the timeshift stones are seen on top of.
Did anyone notice that the Shrine of Resurrection is also possibly a Timeshift Stone? It could be used to take link back to his normal state
If Link and Zelda made it to Kakariko I suspect they would have been able to successfully organize some kind of force to face Calamity Ganon based from Kakariko. That would result in a war, but a brief one. The hylian coalition would have to focus on R&D to counter the guardian threat. Making there true enemy time. As Ganon still has control over the guardians and divine beasts, as well as the hordes of monsters. Even ignoring the possibility that Ganon could still summon a blood moon, the hylian coalition would have a distinct advantages on a rate of trained or semi trained soldiers. Let alone the difference in artillery. In battle Ganon could easily use some sort of blitzkrieg maneuver using the guardians to annihilate hylian forces. The hylian coalition would eventually be overrun. Losing the war to Ganon.
Beamos and turret guardians look really similar. They even have the fan things on the side
Wow, you've definitely done your homework on this! I enjoyed this theory. I don't comment hardly on your videos (or any video for that matter) but I think you do really good on each of your theories. As for the theory about Link surviving and not waiting 100 years, I'm gonna do some looking into that and thinking :o
Also, whens your next Skyward Sword stream? ;)
While item descriptions hint at previous games such as Rock Salt possibly hinting Wind Waker and Ancient materials hinting Skyward Sword, I think they’re supposed to only hint at the games but not actually connect BotW with them .
An example you could have used for gas other than the flame would be the blue mist that towers release when you get data from them
