Aren’t they forest SPIRITS? Meaning they’re technically not really wood? I’m also pretty sure normal people can’t see them so they’re spirits that look like wood that’s probably why they can’t burn.
First time I witnessed it happen I freaked out thinking I had discovered something no one else had. Needless to say one google search later I was disappointed.
@@liamanderson7082 that still bugs me a little bit lol. One of my favorite things was hitting a silver enemy with a shock arrow and watching them suffer while I collected all the broad swords. With gold enemies you gotta be so goddamn quick
So that means when they are in a shock trap, they will die quicker than silver variants, because of their recovery from electricity is very quick, they will get hit more often and die quicker
Sigh, this makes me feel even more guilty killing Bokoblins... They're probably my favorite enemies in Breath of the Wild because they react so adorably when you have the mask one. Snorting and laughing as they accept you as one of their own.
not only that they also talk with you and the way they get mad when you kill their frineds, even worse, when you kill all of the bokoblins but leeave one alive and run out of there, it will go back to where they were, and they stop laughing and jumping, and have no friend to talk with, its worse than it seems.
The theory about the guts twitching is cool but in real life recently severed limbs or killed organisms can still twitch and convulse for over an hour after death. It was probably something one of the designers added in as a way to make the player feel creeped out at the same time as drawing attention to the item in the same way that other items sparkle or shine.
@A B well guts sometimes refer to all organs in the torso rather than just the stomach, like when a hunter guts their prey they don't only take the stomach out.
But then why do the guts keep twitching even when you pull them out of your inventory roughly 12 weeks of in-game time later? Though thinking about it, killed animals like frogs miraculously get revived when you pull them out of Link's sack, so maybe this is just a game thing.
@@LonelySpaceDetective I mean Link doesn’t kill any of the frogs or bugs he catches, he just shoves them in his pockets. If you throw them on the ground from your inventory they’ll just run away
@@rhettmitchell Never tried bombing the frogs? You can do that and it makes them fall over twitching (presumably post-mortem spasms), letting you pick them up easy. I imagine you can do the same with arrows but I haven't tried shooting them. I don't think this works with insects; they just seem to disappear when killed.

I feel like the only person who can really kill lynels is Link in botw. This explains why there are no stal lynels: because Link wasn't around to kill them.

I have hit Lynels in the face and the game doesn't register it because they were using their bow. I'm starting to think that they are made out of pure magic everytime they pull out their bow at this point.
With the final theory about the monster remains and continuous death and rebirth...it reminds me of the Legend of Zelda cartoon. Every time one of Ganon's monsters is "zapped," it returns to the Evil Jar in a kind of...unlife. The creature is trapped there until Ganon either eliminates them or resurrects them from the Jar. It was a neat idea, and I'm glad that BOTW used a similar concept with the Blood Moons.
I think the whole "golden monsters were silver monsters struck by lightning" thing is a callback to Skyward Sword's final boss fight with Demise, who would catch lightning on his sword and then shoot it at Link.
A little theory I just came up with; what if the reason Ganon's power briefly escapes, causing the Blood Moon, is that after a monster is slain and explodes into Malice, it then gets added to Ganon? After all, Blood Moons usually occur after Link has slain to many monsters. Perhaps this is because Ganon has accumulated enough 'mass' to break free of Zelda's power, if only for a night, and he then releases the monsters back into the world? After all, when they're revived, in the cutscene that happens during every Blood Moon, the monsters are shown being you're not reading this reformed from Malice. Also, sidenote, as far as I can tell, almost none of the monsters shown in the cutscene look like monsters we can actually fight in game, so perhaps they are still reforming from Malice, and it's a longer process than we thought?
There's smth about you and your videos that just really soothes me. Whenever I'm feeling really down, depressed, uncomfortable, etc, if I watch one of your videos they really help me. They genuinely interest me and distract me from my bad thoughts/feelings I struggle with leaving alone. Thank you, I've been watching you for years now
Could you imagine fighting a silver enemy and shoot them with a lighting arrow and they evolve into a stronger gold enemy. Holy crap that would be scary and cool.
What if the lightning that struck the silver enemies to turn them gold was from the dragon Farosh? I believe he is the green one, perhaps he tried to neutralize them, and instead it infused them with the divine power of the great dragon and combined with Ganon's malice. This could also explain the gold color since Farosh is the dragon that lives near the Spring of Courage. Maybe due to the shear strength of Ganon's malice, they were able to absorb the energies from the dragon instead of getting harmed by it.
We see Naydra covered and corrupted by Malice, so maybe at some point in the lore of Master Mode, ganon had all three dragons under his power, but lost control of them? Then it would make sense why Farosh's lightning was used despite the dragon being on the side of the goddesses This also creates a cool image of the three dragons fighting to escape Ganon. Dinraal used its overwhelming power, possibly to avoid ever being corrupted, Farosh used its courage but perhaps took longer to escape due to its representation of the trforce of courage being alseep, leading to its lighting being used, and Naydra remained under Ganon's control as Zelda, the triforce of wisdom, was so weakened and trapped inside calamity ganon while she tried to keep him trapped
I wish more enemies were designed with the love and care that Lynel’s were. They’re the only things I actively fight as they’re the only enemies I need to actually care about when fighting
It's really strange yet awesome to see some of my footage in one your videos. Glad I was able to help you out! The video was superb as usual. Cheers! :D
There should be Stal Yiga, who have given themselves to the Calamity, even after death. That could be another reason they turned evil. It’s an afterlife of sorts to follow Ganon.
In the german version of the game, the "guts" are called "Herz" (German word for heart) So yeah.... obviously you are right with the assumtion that it should be the heart
The monster parts being infused with malice poses so many more questions! Link is literally ingesting them for the qualities that the malice augments, so is malice the source of the buffs that Link gets from elixirs? Can you cook out malice the same way you boil contaminated water? Is Link immune because of his time in the Shine of Resurrection, or is he *not* immune? Is Link become that much more infected with malice with every elixir he drinks?
Hey! awesome video! Also I think that in the compendium when it says they're resistant to electricity it means they aren't stunned by the electric effect for as long, if you test them for how long they stay in the stun animation its a lot less than normal enemies, hopefully this helped! I love your videos ^-^
Great theories, especially the last one about Malice forcing monster to stay "alive"/be reincarnated. Truly horrifying if you ask me. Poor Bokoblins. I always feel bad killing them.
Blood moon releases all the monsters from where they were being held in Ganon's evil jar after Link slays them. The Zelda cartoon series predicted BotW's monster resurrections years in advance. 😜
I absolutely love the random calm shots of the various landscapes throughout the video (at 1:06 for instance). It's great filler material for when you don't have anything to show beside what you are talking about. And they are great for wallpapers
One of the reasons breath of the wild is probably my favorite game of all time is that it is the only game in a fictional world where I can see something that, AFTER 3 YEARS, is unexplained and am forced to try and assume what happened to make some random thing happen. Like the skulls where the bokoblins live. My theory: The Shekiah needed to form such incredible stealth technology to fight and escape these giant beasts in their time. Either those beasts eventually evolved into lynels, smaller, faster, smarter versions of themselves, or they get hunted to extinction by the Shekiah. But instead of decomposing, calamity Ganon found the last of these skulls and made them stronger so they can be homes for bokoblins and, when the bokoblins see fit, be destroyed by explosives to kill intruders but keep the homes. But Ganon also keeps these skulls for another purpose. Once he finally defeats Zelda he planned to harness his power to bring those giant monsters back.
Monster Maze -and- Zeltik?! Two of my favorite (and cutest) Zelda guys! What a great video. I hadn't heard these theories before - refreshing!! Keep up the good work!
It’s not really a game mechanic, and more something to keep the lynel from getting stuck indefinitely. They’ll also teleport if they leave their spawn area and haven’t taken damage in a while, and won’t be hostile if far enough away from it as well.
The Lynel on the mountain near the Zora did it to me once when I flew down cause I didn't want fight it and it teleported. It was fricken terrifying because I didn't know they could do that and for a bit I had no idea where it went and was looking around only for it to appear a few slopes down right in front of me.
Ganon and Demise are the same person with the same memories, and here's the proof: READ ALL OF IT!!!! Demise says "I will rise again" after cursing link (not "my hatred will rise again", But "I will rise again"), Ganondorf had the same hair and eyes as Demise when he burst from the rubble of the castle in ocarina of Time, the oil painting flashback scene in Skyward Sword shows Demise in a form that's eerily similar to dark beast Ganon in breath of the wild, and Zelda says that dark beast Ganon is "a pure embodiment of the ancient evil that is reborn time and time again.", Demise and Ganondorf have identical faces, theme music, and speech patterns, and Ganondorf even quoted part of the Demise's curse in twilight princess, (which he only could have known if he was the one who cast it), Ganon somehow knew about (and how to defeat or resurect) the ancient dragon volvagia, the Deku tree, and Jabu-jabu in Ocarina of time, maybe because he met them as Demise long ago, Koloktos and the cursed bokoblins from skyward sword are filled with malice identical to Ganon's malice in BOTW, the wound on Ganondorf's chest in twilight princess is identical to the one on Demise's forhead (which was caused as the imprisoned by a pillar stab in the forehead, the same type of attack, a stab, that caused the wound in twilight princess), in Ganondorf's palutena's guidance conversation in Super Smash Bros. ultimate, Viridi says that " link is technically a different person in each Incarnation, but some people say that Ganondorf is the same person born over and over again.", and link and Zelda reincarnate, so why not demise? As for Wind Waker Ganondorf being used as a piece of evidence against my theory, he could very well only be a Broken Man due to losing his people and powers and not having a kingdom to conquer, as for ganon not recognizing link in Ocarina of time being used as evidence against it, ganon also dosen't seem to recognize link in wind waker, twilight princess, or a Link to the past, probably because he knows link reincarnates and is just so unsurprised by his appearance to stop him that it looks like he doesn't recognize him when, in fact, he does. As for demise being sealed in the sword and decaying being used as a piece of evidence against it, it could only be his body decaying, which is not that big a leap in logic when you think about it, and ganon has escaped seals tons of times, so why couldn't he escape one extra time? And as for the name change, it could be to hide the fact that he's still alive from Hylia. DISAGREE WITH THAT!!!!!!😏😈
I’m a bit confused... Ganondorf is a reincarnation of Demise, are you theorising that Ganondorf literally *is* Demise instead of being a reincarnation?
About the golden enemies theory, I originally played the game in latam spanish and in that language the compendium entry says that when silver type enemies *voluntairily* get shocked by a thunder and that's when they become golden (this is a rough translation tho)
Could you imagine how terrifying a Gold Hinox would be? A Hinox with a club or a full set of Hinox "armor" with as much health and attack & defense as a Gold/Silver Enemy who could easily take out a town...
To the first theory, remember how Demise, the original evil in the timeline used thunderstorms to power up his blade? And Ganondorf himself also uses a lot of electricity magic like the electric balls in the tennis fight? Yeah, electricity was always Ganondorf's signature energy. As you mentioned Urbosa's fury, Ganondorf is also a Gerudo. Is electricity a power associated to Gerudo or.. is Urbosa and Ganondorf blood connected?
One time me and my brother were playing BOTW, and I tried escaping the lynel by paragliding down ploymous mountain. Then me and my brother saw the lynel teleport and breathe a fireball at us. I ended up using the sheikah slate to teleport away.
@@soapy247 Same, it got to a point where I started actively hunting Lynels for their weapons and materials like I was running errands. They became less difficult and more time consuming
Robbie strikes me as a "messing with things that should not be messed with" type of mad scientist. So him trying to make mass-produceable replicas of the Master Sword makes sense.
I've got a little something to add to the monster guts part. Perhaps when the blood moon rises and ganon's power is at a peak, he is able to draw the last bits of life from the guts and therefore ressurect the monster with a newly formed physical form. This is somewhat disproven by the fact that they don't dissapear from Link's inventory every blood moon, but I thought that was interesting.
I love how, when talking about Master Mode in the beginning, you start off with the one mechanic I never want to see return in a Zelda game ever again.
Zeltik: and who better to join me for this than a man who makes some of the best Zelda content on YT.... Me: Monster Maze isn't it... Zeltik: Monster Maze Me: yeah makes sense
Just a small little detail: in German the monster guts aren’t translated into the German word for guts ( which doesn’t even really have a translation ) but rather into the German word for heart. For example : bokoblin guts would become Bokblin Herz. Which honestly makes a lot more sense but would sound far darker in the English version.
Just thought of something about Stal enemies, of all the organic monster enemies there are four that don't have a stal variant, keese, chu-chus, moldugas, and lynels. the chu-chus we can ignore because they're boneless, as well as the keese because they are mostly eyeball. moldugas have a gameplay reason for not having a stal variant in that the bombs necessary to fight them would scatter them, making it rather annoying to fight them. that leaves lynels, I can't think of a single lore or gameplay based reason for a lack of stalynels, but they would be terrifying
I love the last theory! I wonder if that will tie in with Breath of the Wild’s sequel in some way. I can definitely see it applying to the body of Ganondorf.
I love the ancient Sheikah technology, I love the style of it and it's significance in BOTW's story. It's pretty much the first time a Zelda game has gone full "sci-fi fantasy" if that's what you want to call it, and Sheikah tech fascinates me all the same. I remember my first encounter with an immobile guardian, outside the bomb shrine on the great plateau. It was scary but also thrilling to see such an unusual enemy, as robotic foes (or at least those that resemble a somewhat robotic appearance even if they're not robots in the traditional sense) are kinda rare, at least me having only played a handful of Zelda games before hadn't seen many of them. I was instantly intrigued, I wanted to know more about who built them, and why. Same with the shrines and towers. I was holding out hope that, at some point in the game, you'd find a way to un-corrupt a guardian, even if only temporarily. Alas, it was not to be. I kinda got my wish with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity tho. Whenever I was inside a shrine, I always imagined how crazy it must have been to hollow out such a huge space underground, and what power source kept Sheikah tech running. I am somewhat saddened to see Sheikah tech being much more scarce in TOTK (at least from what we've seen so far) but I am still incredibly excited to see what happens next!
7:12 The way you say that makes me think of Yolero, an NPC at the Woodland Stable southeast of Hyrule Castle. You can see him swinging a torch at a training dummy, and he claims that he has the “Master Torch.” If Link shows him the Master Sword, Yolero scoffs at him. He’d definitely be the kind of guy to rush into the castle to see if he could fight Ganon.
Zeltik: Basically, all enemies are forced to cling to life by Ganon. They exist only to serve the beast. No matter how they survive, they must. Me: [spooked] Zeltik: Thanks for watching! 😊 This is the same feeling I got after the ReDead video, and that's the feeling that made me subscribe in the first place
I don't think it was mentioned, but I do like the theory that the Enemies may be alive because their Organs pump still. But really, this is a throwback to... The Hearts. When you kill enemies from previous Zelda games, they drop hearts all of the way back to the early years. I think they did probably have this as a throwback but... I think they do want to have it explained on the why. This theory was pretty good. :)

So when Link has a potion made of monster guts he's also drinking malice o_o that can't be good for his digestion.

Perhaps this is because Ganon has accumulated enough 'mass' to break free of Zelda's power, if only for a night, and he then releases the monsters back into the world? After all, when they're revived, in the cutscene that happens during every Blood Moon, the monsters are shown being you're not reading this reformed from Malice. Also, sidenote, as far as I can tell, almost none of the monsters shown in the cutscene look like monsters we can actually fight in game, so perhaps they are still reforming from Malice, and it's a longer process than we thought?
There's smth about you and your videos that just really soothes me. Whenever I'm feeling really down, depressed, uncomfortable, etc, if I watch one of your videos they really help me. They genuinely interest me and distract me from my bad thoughts/feelings I struggle with leaving alone. Thank you, I've been watching you for years now
Could you imagine fighting a silver enemy and shoot them with a lighting arrow and they evolve into a stronger gold enemy. Holy crap that would be scary and cool.
You’re the best zeld-Ologist there is in my opinion! I love your videos!
What if the lightning that struck the silver enemies to turn them gold was from the dragon Farosh? I believe he is the green one, perhaps he tried to neutralize them, and instead it infused them with the divine power of the great dragon and combined with Ganon's malice. This could also explain the gold color since Farosh is the dragon that lives near the Spring of Courage. Maybe due to the shear strength of Ganon's malice, they were able to absorb the energies from the dragon instead of getting harmed by it.
We see Naydra covered and corrupted by Malice, so maybe at some point in the lore of Master Mode, ganon had all three dragons under his power, but lost control of them?
Then it would make sense why Farosh's lightning was used despite the dragon being on the side of the goddesses
This also creates a cool image of the three dragons fighting to escape Ganon. Dinraal used its overwhelming power, possibly to avoid ever being corrupted, Farosh used its courage but perhaps took longer to escape due to its representation of the trforce of courage being alseep, leading to its lighting being used, and Naydra remained under Ganon's control as Zelda, the triforce of wisdom, was so weakened and trapped inside calamity ganon while she tried to keep him trapped
I wish more enemies were designed with the love and care that Lynel’s were. They’re the only things I actively fight as they’re the only enemies I need to actually care about when fighting
I actually love the "no lore" style of the game, when you find something out it makes you feel so cool and rewarding.
Does anyone, except myself, think that we will see Purah and her aging disaster in more detail? I really hope we get to.
No because it is said that that happened when link was asleep
Yeah i think she was already old like impa is but did the experiment
It's really strange yet awesome to see some of my footage in one your videos. Glad I was able to help you out! The video was superb as usual. Cheers! :D
i am confusion on how zeltik doesn't have 1mil he my fav Zelda theorist
There should be Stal Yiga, who have given themselves to the Calamity, even after death.
That could be another reason they turned evil. It’s an afterlife of sorts to follow Ganon.
In the german version of the game, the "guts" are called "Herz" (German word for heart)
So yeah.... obviously you are right with the assumtion that it should be the heart
The monster parts being infused with malice poses so many more questions! Link is literally ingesting them for the qualities that the malice augments, so is malice the source of the buffs that Link gets from elixirs? Can you cook out malice the same way you boil contaminated water? Is Link immune because of his time in the Shine of Resurrection, or is he *not* immune? Is Link become that much more infected with malice with every elixir he drinks?
I’ve had BOTW since launch and I never knew that lynels teleported
Hey! awesome video! Also I think that in the compendium when it says they're resistant to electricity it means they aren't stunned by the electric effect for as long, if you test them for how long they stay in the stun animation its a lot less than normal enemies, hopefully this helped! I love your videos ^-^
Great theories, especially the last one about Malice forcing monster to stay "alive"/be reincarnated. Truly horrifying if you ask me. Poor Bokoblins. I always feel bad killing them.
Continuing the crossover i needed! Thank you both!!!
Blood moon releases all the monsters from where they were being held in Ganon's evil jar after Link slays them. The Zelda cartoon series predicted BotW's monster resurrections years in advance. 😜
I want to buy an Evil Jar
I absolutely love the random calm shots of the various landscapes throughout the video (at 1:06 for instance). It's great filler material for when you don't have anything to show beside what you are talking about. And they are great for wallpapers
One of the reasons breath of the wild is probably my favorite game of all time is that it is the only game in a fictional world where I can see something that, AFTER 3 YEARS, is unexplained and am forced to try and assume what happened to make some random thing happen. Like the skulls where the bokoblins live. My theory: The Shekiah needed to form such incredible stealth technology to fight and escape these giant beasts in their time. Either those beasts eventually evolved into lynels, smaller, faster, smarter versions of themselves, or they get hunted to extinction by the Shekiah. But instead of decomposing, calamity Ganon found the last of these skulls and made them stronger so they can be homes for bokoblins and, when the bokoblins see fit, be destroyed by explosives to kill intruders but keep the homes. But Ganon also keeps these skulls for another purpose. Once he finally defeats Zelda he planned to harness his power to bring those giant monsters back.
Man your narrating voice is next level! Every time you have a guest it who speaks! Ya not the same!
Beware, traveler of the comment section. For there are AOC spoilers out in the wild.
Did they leak the whole game?
@@RinZDR pretty much, yeah, although the leaked Cutscenes don't have sound or subs
Dang, did they datamine it from the demo? (Not gonna google it for obvious reasons)
@@remem95 no, some people got early copies
Who brought Alexandria Occasio-Cortez into ðis? Who wants politics in a Zelda video‽
Oh… wrong AoC.
Monster Maze -and- Zeltik?!
Two of my favorite (and cutest) Zelda guys! What a great video. I hadn't heard these theories before - refreshing!!
Keep up the good work!
I can't wait to play age of calamity
Zeltik actually deserves 1 mil and higher and nobody can change my mind, literally such quality content 👌
Wait what!!!!???? Lynels can teleport??!! Who else didn’t know this?
Me
I didn't until one did it right in front of me lol
It’s not really a game mechanic, and more something to keep the lynel from getting stuck indefinitely. They’ll also teleport if they leave their spawn area and haven’t taken damage in a while, and won’t be hostile if far enough away from it as well.
The Lynel on the mountain near the Zora did it to me once when I flew down cause I didn't want fight it and it teleported. It was fricken terrifying because I didn't know they could do that and for a bit I had no idea where it went and was looking around only for it to appear a few slopes down right in front of me.
I only knew because he had brought it in a previous video.
Monster Maze did good :) all interesting small theories good job both of you
Bruh i can't wait for Botw 2. There's bound to be more Zeltik videos by then😂😂😂😂
I love how much your voices compliment each other, the storybook style tone is my favorite part of this channel
Ganon and Demise are the same person with the same memories, and here's the proof:
READ ALL OF IT!!!!
Demise says "I will rise again" after cursing link (not "my hatred will rise again", But "I will rise again"), Ganondorf had the same hair and eyes as Demise when he burst from the rubble of the castle in ocarina of Time, the oil painting flashback scene in Skyward Sword shows Demise in a form that's eerily similar to dark beast Ganon in breath of the wild, and Zelda says that dark beast Ganon is "a pure embodiment of the ancient evil that is reborn time and time again.", Demise and Ganondorf have identical faces, theme music, and speech patterns, and Ganondorf even quoted part of the Demise's curse in twilight princess, (which he only could have known if he was the one who cast it), Ganon somehow knew about (and how to defeat or resurect) the ancient dragon volvagia, the Deku tree, and Jabu-jabu in Ocarina of time, maybe because he met them as Demise long ago, Koloktos and the cursed bokoblins from skyward sword are filled with malice identical to Ganon's malice in BOTW, the wound on Ganondorf's chest in twilight princess is identical to the one on Demise's forhead (which was caused as the imprisoned by a pillar stab in the forehead, the same type of attack, a stab, that caused the wound in twilight princess), in Ganondorf's palutena's guidance conversation in Super Smash Bros. ultimate, Viridi says that " link is technically a different person in each Incarnation, but some people say that Ganondorf is the same person born over and over again.", and link and Zelda reincarnate, so why not demise?
As for Wind Waker Ganondorf being used as a piece of evidence against my theory, he could very well only be a Broken Man due to losing his people and powers and not having a kingdom to conquer, as for ganon not recognizing link in Ocarina of time being used as evidence against it, ganon also dosen't seem to recognize link in wind waker, twilight princess, or a Link to the past, probably because he knows link reincarnates and is just so unsurprised by his appearance to stop him that it looks like he doesn't recognize him when, in fact, he does. As for demise being sealed in the sword and decaying being used as a piece of evidence against it, it could only be his body decaying, which is not that big a leap in logic when you think about it, and ganon has escaped seals tons of times, so why couldn't he escape one extra time? And as for the name change, it could be to hide the fact that he's still alive from Hylia.
DISAGREE WITH THAT!!!!!!😏😈
This is such a cool theory °0° i hope someone does a video about this
I’m a bit confused... Ganondorf is a reincarnation of Demise, are you theorising that Ganondorf literally *is* Demise instead of being a reincarnation?
@@Void_Echoes I am theorizing that he remembers being demise.
What about vaati or the bad guys from phantom hourglass or spirit tracks?
@@Supasmartguy he does not. it is confirmed that he does not remember being demise
About the golden enemies theory, I originally played the game in latam spanish and in that language the compendium entry says that when silver type enemies *voluntairily* get shocked by a thunder and that's when they become golden (this is a rough translation tho)
I have a theory
Link is Zelda
Link is the princess right?
*Camera zomms into paused anime character's face*
NO
lol
Could you imagine how terrifying a Gold Hinox would be?
A Hinox with a club or a full set of Hinox "armor" with as much health and attack & defense as a Gold/Silver Enemy who could easily take out a town...
Everyone hyped for Friday? I know I am.
No more, after hearing about the story of the game...
That’s why you avoid leaks
@@TinkC43 in thid case I'm very happy about the leaks... this game is not, what it first looked like.
To the first theory, remember how Demise, the original evil in the timeline used thunderstorms to power up his blade? And Ganondorf himself also uses a lot of electricity magic like the electric balls in the tennis fight? Yeah, electricity was always Ganondorf's signature energy. As you mentioned Urbosa's fury, Ganondorf is also a Gerudo. Is electricity a power associated to Gerudo or.. is Urbosa and Ganondorf blood connected?
I never know that Lynels could teleport..... O.O;
One time me and my brother were playing BOTW, and I tried escaping the lynel by paragliding down ploymous mountain. Then me and my brother saw the lynel teleport and breathe a fireball at us. I ended up using the sheikah slate to teleport away.
All I know is that they wreck me every time I try to fight them...
They used to wreck me too, but once I learned how to defeat them, they became a piece of cake.
@@soapy247 Same, it got to a point where I started actively hunting Lynels for their weapons and materials like I was running errands. They became less difficult and more time consuming
@@soapy247 Oh, I know how to. But I suck at timing.
I love your content Zeltik! Keep up the great work.
25 seconds ago damn I’m quick. Quickest draw in the west 😎
At least you didn't say first.

Robbie strikes me as a "messing with things that should not be messed with" type of mad scientist. So him trying to make mass-produceable replicas of the Master Sword makes sense.
So in Breath of the Wild we are actually fighting zombies?
Honestly this intro is my favorite from all the Zelda RUclipsr's I watch
I've got a little something to add to the monster guts part. Perhaps when the blood moon rises and ganon's power is at a peak, he is able to draw the last bits of life from the guts and therefore ressurect the monster with a newly formed physical form.
This is somewhat disproven by the fact that they don't dissapear from Link's inventory every blood moon, but I thought that was interesting.
I love how, when talking about Master Mode in the beginning, you start off with the one mechanic I never want to see return in a Zelda game ever again.
Noti Gang
You and Monster Maze are my favorite Zelda channels, so this was a treat for me.
11:33 I understood that reference.
Ha! Same!
Are you sure that was a reference? It's kind of a generic 'how to kill an undead'
Zeltik: and who better to join me for this than a man who makes some of the best Zelda content on YT....
Me: Monster Maze isn't it...
Zeltik: Monster Maze
Me: yeah makes sense
the video has been out for 13 minutes and it already has 5 dislikes, unacceptable
Thanks for doing small theory videos like this Zeltik! I’m always amazed just how many there are.

Just a small little detail: in German the monster guts aren’t translated into the German word for guts ( which doesn’t even really have a translation ) but rather into the German word for heart. For example : bokoblin guts would become Bokblin Herz. Which honestly makes a lot more sense but would sound far darker in the English version.
In german it called „Herz“ that mean heart.
Just thought of something about Stal enemies, of all the organic monster enemies there are four that don't have a stal variant, keese, chu-chus, moldugas, and lynels. the chu-chus we can ignore because they're boneless, as well as the keese because they are mostly eyeball. moldugas have a gameplay reason for not having a stal variant in that the bombs necessary to fight them would scatter them, making it rather annoying to fight them. that leaves lynels, I can't think of a single lore or gameplay based reason for a lack of stalynels, but they would be terrifying
11:05 I think that's a metapod
If that's Metapod, I don't think I'd want to know what Butterfree will look like
I absolutely love your mini theories! So cool thx for sharing :)
I love the last theory! I wonder if that will tie in with Breath of the Wild’s sequel in some way. I can definitely see it applying to the body of Ganondorf.
I haven't been playing breath of the wild lately but after watching your videos it inspired me to play the game again
I luv zeltiks voice it’s so calming
If you’ve ever done a dissection on, say, a fish, you know its heart will keep beating for a very long time after you remove it from the body.
This was a great format for a video! I hope you’ll make more!
Honestly I watch these videos because I love the theory’s and I really like zeltik as it is
The amount of environmental storytelling that you can get out of this game is one of the best things about it. It's there, it's just far more subtle.
So you're telling me that not only do I need to worry about microplastic in my potions, but now also *_micromalice?_*
I love the ancient Sheikah technology, I love the style of it and it's significance in BOTW's story. It's pretty much the first time a Zelda game has gone full "sci-fi fantasy" if that's what you want to call it, and Sheikah tech fascinates me all the same.
I remember my first encounter with an immobile guardian, outside the bomb shrine on the great plateau. It was scary but also thrilling to see such an unusual enemy, as robotic foes (or at least those that resemble a somewhat robotic appearance even if they're not robots in the traditional sense) are kinda rare, at least me having only played a handful of Zelda games before hadn't seen many of them. I was instantly intrigued, I wanted to know more about who built them, and why. Same with the shrines and towers.
I was holding out hope that, at some point in the game, you'd find a way to un-corrupt a guardian, even if only temporarily. Alas, it was not to be. I kinda got my wish with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity tho.
Whenever I was inside a shrine, I always imagined how crazy it must have been to hollow out such a huge space underground, and what power source kept Sheikah tech running.
I am somewhat saddened to see Sheikah tech being much more scarce in TOTK (at least from what we've seen so far) but I am still incredibly excited to see what happens next!
I really love how I was just thinking about this video and you posted :)
7:12 The way you say that makes me think of Yolero, an NPC at the Woodland Stable southeast of Hyrule Castle. You can see him swinging a torch at a training dummy, and he claims that he has the “Master Torch.” If Link shows him the Master Sword, Yolero scoffs at him. He’d definitely be the kind of guy to rush into the castle to see if he could fight Ganon.
I have been blessed with another Zeltik video
Zeltik: Basically, all enemies are forced to cling to life by Ganon. They exist only to serve the beast. No matter how they survive, they must.
Me: [spooked]
Zeltik: Thanks for watching! 😊
This is the same feeling I got after the ReDead video, and that's the feeling that made me subscribe in the first place
I don't think it was mentioned, but I do like the theory that the Enemies may be alive because their Organs pump still. But really, this is a throwback to... The Hearts. When you kill enemies from previous Zelda games, they drop hearts all of the way back to the early years. I think they did probably have this as a throwback but... I think they do want to have it explained on the why. This theory was pretty good. :)
jeez, never thought of the guts to be still possessed by malice, great theories Zeltik, Monster Maze
I love how music from age of calamity works perfectly with all of these theories that were described
