THE WIND WAKER AHHHHHHHH I love this game SO much, ranked right below OOT and MM for my all time favorites.

One of my biggest critiques of the game is that I wish Aonuma was given the proper time to develop the game since you can tell that there should be more but a lot was cut out for time constraints. Still an incredible game but what I would give to have a full scale sequel or the full scope of the original game T^T!!!

Writing typed below as well as my game notes! (Game notes won't be typed since it's just a mess of notes for puzzles and things to come back to)

I love this game so much holy shit. What a perfect sequel to the Hero of Time story, what a great continuation of Ganondorf's motive. I definitely wish there was more, esp dungeons and zora and towns, but this game was made pretty quick after MM and on the GC so I know there are limitations. Everything from Link, Tetra, the sound effects, the stylization, the Rito, the Koroks, Ganondorf, oh my god I absolutely adore it. Everything about it is so unique yet having the core Zelda elements within it. I also noticed how many future games took a lot of inspiration from this game, esp TP and TOTK. I also love how involved Tetra/Zelda is to the plot, Link could not have succeeded without her help, esp in the final battle and when saving Aryll. This game gives so much personality and background to Link and Tetra, every single cutscene is such a delight. This would be a super replayable game if my GC wasn't so wonky. Hopefully it'll come back to the switch. I love this game :')

*Major TOTK SPOILERS*

I always found it interesting in Skyward sword how Zelda and Ganon technically always had beef way before the events of Skyward Sword. Hylia fights Demise and seals him and then creates trials for Link, the Chosen Hero, but I never understood how she knew that Link was that chosen hero in the future.

TOTK kinda fucks up the OG canon of LOZ with Skyward Sword and the Zonai. It construes the founding of Hyrule and doesn’t make since in how the Zonai tribe were never mentioned in previous games. Which makes me believe that botw/totk is a completely different timeline and completely strays from canon. What really influenced this is Demise’s curse in Skyward Sword.

“You fight like no human or demon I have ever known. Though this is not the end. My hate... never perishes. It is born anew in a cycle with no end! I will rise again. Those like you... Those who share the blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero... They are eternally bound to this curse. An incarnation of my hatred shall ever follow your kind, dooming them to wander a blood-soaked sea of darkness for all time!"

Demise said that he never seen any creature that fights like Link, therefore a Link has never existed and fought Demise before he was sealed by Hylia. That one anniversary manga was never confirmed canon so that version of Link is not the first version of Link. Then, Demise is the only one that reincarnates. He cursed the spirit of Link and the bloodline of Zelda to always fight the reincarnation of Demise. So no matter what, a reincarnation of Demise is always going to be a male gerudo and gerudo’s physical characteristics are similar so it makes sense why Ganon always looks similar to each other reincarnation from each timeline in some shape or form. Or that ugly pig form he has in some games. Zelda will always have the same characteristics of whatever race the goddess Hylia was. Which explains why Zelda always look similar to each iteration of her character. Each Zelda are Hylian descendants of Hylia no matter what timeline. Zelda and Ganon both have restrictions to who they are rightfully so but not Link.

Link’s spirit is cursed, not his bloodline or soul. To add on top of that, Link legend technically came from nowhere. Zelda is Hylia reborn and descendants of Hylia and Ganon is the reincarnation of Demise. Link has no legend to his name prior to SS. Outside of the triforce of courage, there is nothing notable about his bloodline except for maybe Twilight Princess. Nothing restricts him to being a male Hylian with blond/dirty blonde/brown hair with blue eyes outside of merchandise/advertisement reasonings. He is allowed to change forms and be a different race or gender and he isn’t constricted to one form.

Now I ask you to consider botw/totk to be a new canon to the LOZ timeline. It’s own separate branch that wasn’t created because of OOT. That it is it’s own story without the older games to continue it.

But ofc, we need the previous games for inspiration. In Skyward Sword, it was said that Hylia had the help from the other races of Hyrule to seal Demise and although this is common in the plot for every Zelda game, it’s important to mention.

In BOTW, to the left of Ganon, it shows a figure that looks like Zelda and to the right it shows an unknown warrior that wields the Master Sword and they’ve enlisted the help of all races to help deal with Ganon like Hylia has done before. The events in the tapestry is similar to the sealing of Demise. Hylia, with the support of the other races, seals Demise until Link can kill him in the future. The biggest difference however is that the botw tapestry shows a hero wielding the sword that seals the darkness. Which makes me believe that Demise wouldn’t have been sealed but instead killed in this fight.

You probably already figured out where this was leading. I believe that the ancient hero aspect is botw/totk’s version of the first ever and I mean ever avatar of the hero’s spirit. The armor set and the hero in the tapestry are strikingly familiar to their skin color and the prominent red hair.

Also, idk if anyone noticed but the text says the spirt of A hero who once saved Hyrule not the spirit of THE hero of Hyrule. Saying “a hero” separates it from the idea that the hero spirit has already been established or I guess cursed by this timeline’s version of Demise. “The spirit of a hero” is singular.

A lot of the timeline for botw/totk is very collapsing and confusing but I’d like to believe that the tapestry shows botw/totk’s universe’s version of Demise, Hylia, AND Link. Ofc this can be debunked as it was said the first calamity was 10,000 years ago and Ganon reveals in one of the memories that the Zonai have long died out and Rauru and Mineru are most likely the last of their kind.

But to further establish my theory as a loophole is that the interpretation of the tapestry could simply be incorrect and misinterpreted by the researchers of Hyrule.

Lets say hypothetically speaking, the Ganon in the tapestry is Demise and it shows Hylia and the Zonai Link killing Demise. He does his speech with the curse and starts the cycle of hatred until the events of Rauru and Sonya’s era. The absence of the Shekiah tech can be easily explained as it was said in botw that the tech was hidden until they were needed again to aid the hero that seals the darkness. Sonya could be a descendent of Hylia and for all we know, Rauru could be a descendant of the Zonai version of Link. Maybe Zonai Link had light powers and infused it into a sword creating The Master Sword and his power passed down to Rauru. And Rauru’s sister, Mineru, is the Sage of Spirit which can also correlate back to Zonai Link as his spirit was cursed. It can also bring more weight to Rauru having the ability to seal Ganon for so long but not being able to finish the job as he is a small fraction of the Spirit of the Hero but not the real deal. When Ganon is reincarnated during Rauru’s era, there is no Link to be found nor a Zelda from that era of Rauru as king. For some cosmic reason, they weren’t reincarnated until 10,000 years after the event of Rauru sealing Ganon which explains why the shekiah tech appears in botw but not during Rauru’s era. They are their to aid the spirit of the chosen hero and this was probably implemented into their programming after Zonai Link’s Spirit was cursed. To help the next avatar of the spirit of the hero. The technology of the Shekiah could’ve also progressed so amazingly with the help of the Zonai or teachings of the Zonai. I feel that there has to be some influence as there were Shekiah shrines in Zonai ruins like the Thylpho Ruins.

Oh and one small tid bit, for some reason the Zonai tend to worship the idea of courage as a lot of their trials relates to courage. Most notably the phrases for the Labyrinths and the ceremonies for the Glide Set. The Zonai most prominent ruins are also in Faron, named after the Goddess of Courage Farore which is also interesting. :)

I have no explanation however as to why Ganon reincarnated without a proper Link and Zelda to stop him.

To summarize my long ass theory and clear any confusion, I believe that the tapestry depicts BOTW/TOTK version and fight of Demise vs Hylia and the hero’s spirit. It depicts the fight where they were cursed into this cycle and the Era of King Rauru and events of botw/totk is directly after it. So basically, completely new and different canon.

But anyway, it’s all just a theory. A GAME THEORY!!! :))))

Really wishing I had some artistic ability right now. I canNOT get the image of Minish- manned mechsuits fighting gloom hands out of my head.

They canonically created Armos to help humans- it's not THAT big of a stretch.

What if they borrowed Zonai tech for the weapon attachments? Or Sheikah, for teleportation, etc.? So many possibilities.

(I have only played BotW, TotK, Minish Cap, and OoT; if this is/has been done elsewhere in canon, I'd love to know!)

gotten through the second dungeon of the sealed palace. it's thus far a very fun romhack and i am extremely impressed by the sheer amount of work put into it and the technical aspects. the writing at least where i am now is just okay and it is very obvious when dialogue has been recycled from oot if you've played the game a few times. but like the dungeon design is thus far very good and i really love how the game makes the player use the items in ways they likely wouldn't have before unless they played rando. things like using the deku nuts to enable killing blows on armos statues are used.

something very impressive about these weirder uses of the items is that they are tutorialized fairly ok? like the deku nut on armos statue thing you're taught in a relatively safe locked in room you can't leave at all until you kill them both. and by this point you just have the nuts, sticks and your sword. so your options are kind of limited and thus, if you know how the nuts work, you are led to going "i wonder if stunning them makes them damageable". the dungeon design is falling into this area too where easier things are presented first and then harder variations latter on. i will say that, as well as this is done, it is a game that necessitates some degree of familiarity with the base game. i imagine if you haven't played oot at least a few times through the game is very hard. with things like pieces of heart that require you to have a good understanding of how to control link's jump arc and puzzles that require trickier use of bomb timing.

the game is also making use of the standard oot bosses it seems. which is understandable. i didn't really like the missing link's unique boss, but i did really love that there was a unique boss. and a unique tool too; the tool i actually liked a lot. they have tried to spruce up the bosses some with shit like putting leavers and sinking sand into king dodongo's arena but like it's still just king dodongo. you throw two bombs in his mouth and jump attack with a stick twice and you're done. again, this is understandable. but i will admit that i am very much wanting boss encounters that are as interestingly challenging as the dungeons themselves.

that aside. the sealed palace is definitely worth a look. if you want more traditional 3D zelda then this seems to fit the bill. similar to master of time it's a long hack too. so if your issue with the missing link or dusk and dawn is the length, then that's not a problem here.

#zelda #master of time i recommend heavily too #albeit with the caveat that its writing is absolute dogshit #at most it is funny for sheer badness #but things like the dungeon and encounter design is pretty solid #so if you just want more exploring and dungeoning then it's a good hack
