Is BOTW 2 called tears of the kingdom because Prince Sidon is engaged?

Okay SO. Theory Rush after finishing Tears of the Kingdom. Go.
The Zonai are said to have descended from the heavens to help found Hyrule. I can think of another race that descended from the heavens. Do you guys think the minish are native to the Zonai sky islands?
Does the Depths set look a little familiar to you? This along with Josha's theory that people once lived down there, I wonder if the interlopers were present in the Depths before being banished to the twilight realm.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The architecture and robot designs from Skyward Sword have a distinct Zonai look to them! So that leads me to believe the Zonai were the race that created the Lanayru Mining Facility.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It might even be that the Past from Skyward Sword is indeed the time period that Zelda was transported back to! Maybe the legacy of the kingdom of Hyrule goes back even further than the fight between Hylia and Demise: though I admit the early appearance of Demon King Ganondorf throws a wrench in this theory.
About secret stones and the amber relics in Skyward Sword: I want to say there's a connection between them, though amber relics don't seem to be as rare and important as secret stones, (we find them in abundance in Skyward Sword and they don't do much). Of course, i haven't played SS in a while so if they have any more significance it's escaping me at the moment. For the time being I'd like to think ancient hylians might have carried them around as good luck charms to emulate secret stones of their own.

The Legend of the Great Sky Island mini quest in has the construct telling us that the island was supposed to be where a hero will one day awaken to defeat the Demon King. I know our Link wakes up on this island, but there's definitely something eating at my brain about the Great Sky Island being related to (or perhaps even IS) Skyloft, and that the awakening of the hero is referring to Skyward Sword Link. (This potentially supports the theory that the Past in TOTK predates the war between Hylia and Demise)
There's a pretty good chance that Rauru and Sonia's child could have been named Zelda, after the sweet time traveling girl they practically adopted :) the first princess of Hyrule named after the last princess of Hyrule.
There is a giant dragon skeleton in the Gerudo Desert Depths, big as or even bigger than Farosh, Dinraal and Naydra. It is my belief that this mystery dragon became a dragon ala Secret Stone alongside the three aboveland, but was killed at some point in the Depths. I don't know what four people decided to become dragons, but my strongest theory is that Dinraal, Farosh and Naydra are the draconified forms of the oracles of the Golden Goddesses, Din, Farore and Nayru. So who is this?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Seeing as the Lightroots underground are activated via Zonai hand terminal and each Lightroot lies directly beneath a shrine on the surface, I think the Lightroots are extensions of these shrines, having grown straight downward to light up the underground. This is probably obvious but I just barely figured this out 😅
Since Rauru, sage of light, and a new Temple of Time are in this game, I want to think that this person and location are more than just Easter Eggs to Ocarina of Time. I think that the sage from Ocarina of Time was named after King Rauru, though I'm not sure whether him being the sage of light would have been a coincidence or a direct inspiration.
What I do think is that he indeed did put the triforce in that very same Temple of Time and all the sky islands went to the Sacred Realm until Tears of the Kingdom, when they came back to earth and appeared in the sky. That's just a theory but why else would the sky islands be reappearing as if from nowhere?
Speaking of which, there were floating masses in the sky in Minish Cap, namely great big stone temples and fortresses. Minish Cap takes place during the early days of Hyrule, which would be pretty much right after the Zonai descended. Perhaps the Zonai are the Wind Tribe mentioned, and the people we see in game are their descendants, who look much more hylian than Zonai due to being crossed with full hylian genetics over the generations?
Anyway I need to retouch up on my Zelda lore to make sure I'm getting the details right, (that, and i haven't yet 100% the game so i may be missing some totk context), but I HAD to post my thoughts and get them out there! I'll add on later if I think of any more, in the meantime feel free to brainstorm!

nintendo het baiting w sidon and his fiancee only to pull the gayest shit ive seen in a While by having sidon renew his vows w link (they got married at the end of ruta’s quest in botw. obviously. clearly.) and giving him a power that lets him ‘stay by his side forever’. i see you husbands i am so glad your marriage is thriving. good for them. good for them. they also both have two hands for anyone who wants to pull any nonsense im js. there is room for yona she just has to understand link has held sidon’s heart for years first.

Thinking about this one guy complaining about how the secret stones in TOTK completely replaced the triforce and was like, "Where's the triforce. I want the triforce." And someone else said,"Is the triforce an edible that turns you into a dragon? No? Stfu." And y'know what that is a completely viable description of the secret stones.

Okay
Okay okay okay okay okay
I just have to say that I absolutely love the title.
Breath of the Wild was perfect for the first one, looking back on the entire game. It was a brand new experience for everyone compared to all other Zelda games before it and it encapsulated the experience beautifully. Everything around you is wild in that game. You're tossed into a world that has barely but stubbornly survived for the past 100 years after a goddamn apocalypse and Link is even wild in comparison. Having no memories and nothing to go on, that boy is a blank slate of zero expectations. It's a breath of fresh air for him and for the player.
So now to go from that to frickin Tears of the Kingdom.
Hooooooo boy, I cannot express how excited I am. Hyrule wasn't really referred to as a kingdom in the present tense during BotW. Because it wasn't really a kingdom. There were villages and "cities" (the four tribes), but everyone pretty much kept themselves in line. There wasn't a sense of unity anywhere because why should there be? These people, minus some of the Zora, have never even been part of a Kingdom of Hyrule. Why would there be a kingdom without a leader, after all? So now the implications of naming the entire game in such a unifying way? Holy shit, this is gonna be amazing. Hyrule is alive and it's in pain. It's mourning. It's struggling and it's thrashing and trying to survive. And I can't wait to see where this leads.

Some of the Zelda fans are wondering and asking: “Who is she?!” “Is this Zelda being reborn as Hylia?”
Tumblr media
From the looks of it, it’s definitely not Zelda we all know and love. I would believe this could be the Zelda from the distant past. The one who sealed the first Calamity 10,000 years ago ( I am hoping this is true).
Tumblr media
Or it could possibly be the mysterious Zonai figure from the ancient wall carving.
Tumblr media
Even though there a lot of rifts against our expectations, I feel there is much more in Hyrule that’s outside the history of Ganon and Zelda’s Royal when Tears of the Kingdom comes out.

If people are going to post the leaks could they at least put a warning before the ‘read more’ line. I just got spoiled scrolling through and am pissed off. Is it so hard to just wait?!

I have made a discovery rewatching the ToTK trailer…
So Sidon has the new official art and is seen in the trailer too
Tumblr media Tumblr media
BUT LOOK AT THIS PART OF THE TRAILER he’s wearing a crown now
Tumblr media
LOOK King Dorephan has the same crown in BoTW!
Tumblr media
So my conclusion is that I think King Dorephan is going die or have to be replaced by Sidon as king of the Zora for a bit😭
