#and icr if the queen was ever mentioned to be canonically dead. and it’s not the first time that nintendo has whitewashed a zelda though

Tears of the Kingdom isn’t the first time we’ve heard the phrase The Imprisoning War in Zelda lore

It’s also the term used in the Downfall Timeline as a precursor to LttP when Ganon was unleashed from the Sacred Realm and the King and the Sages rushed to fight the Demon King and re-seal the Sacred Realm, with no mention of a hero

Could TotK Imprisoning War and the LttP Imprisoning War be one and the same, with specific details being lost to time by the beginning of the game?

#totk spoilers #i’m not going to read any tags or comments on this post until i’ve completed the game #i’ve only found about three or four memories so far and i know this is a completely far-fetched conspiracy but it’s fun to think and theori #totk #and the zelda lore/continuity is a hot mess anyway. #it could be entirely possible that the Imprisoning War took place during the Era of Time directly after the heroes death #(at a young age i stand by the theory that link was sealed by the master sword after it was sent back in time with the knowledge ganondorf #was going to kill him right there in the temple of time after following him to get access to the sacred realm) #and we never got to see the king of hyrule for all we know he could have been a goatman #and icr if the queen was ever mentioned to be canonically dead. and it’s not the first time that nintendo has whitewashed a zelda though #this time it would be retroactively. or it could be set as lore states a long while after the era of time. #it’s never stated who tried to access the scared realm just that people wanted to claim the power there for their own. it could have been a #new ganondorf. and if the kingdom had been completely ruined by the ill-fated fight between the hero and Ganon and the following battle #between himself and the sages; it’s entirely possible that afterwards the zonai could have descended from the clouds to help re-build the #kingdom; and in a fit of morale-boosting refer to it as a founding of a new nation #or maybe not every war has to have a different name and the zelda lore makes no sense #that’s the more likely one imo lol
