idk why but i get the feeling that this isn't a boss

maybe Link's in some new building that Purah or Robbie's working in? those arms could be repurposed for something... my bet's on some kind of upgrade or cosmetic change, like dyeing clothes. doesn't Link's face remind you of that panic moment before he drops through the dye chute?

on second thought, maybe the building itself is repurposed too. it definitely has those Yiga Clan hideout vibes...

Y'know, one of my favorite things from the totk gameplay is, still, the backpack korok.

Yes it's been memed to death, being one of the only non-gameplay-mechanic element from the clip, but im thinking more about what that means for hyrule as a whole. Obviously, in the first game the main races would mainly be in their towns, with the occasional goron in Zora's domain, and bigger places like gerudo town having all of them visiting.

And then obviously there are only Koroks in Korok forest, because no one is able to get there, and only Sheikah in Kakariko village, because they're mostly closed off and in hiding.

There were no Korok Npcs outside Korok forest. But now we see one! I think its just really cool to see that now that the threat of the calamity is gone (or was... i guess 😑) we see that normally closed off are out and about! Its something to think about because both Hestu and books like the Rumor Mill that talk about normal travelers not being able to see Koroks. But even then, in AOC the champions are eventually able to see Hestu, though they don't notice him at first.

So will we see Koroks in the various towns? Will we be able to see Sheikah out and about, no longer worrying about hiding who they are? And even further than that, will we see other races in Kakariko? It again sparks my curiosity for the types of quests will be in the game. Maybe, like the Tarrey Town quest, we'll be able to spread information about these towns? Like, maybe there'll be like a wannabe ninja looking for stealthy clothes or someone who wants to really be among nature and we can be like; buddy do i have a town for you!

Something interesting I realized about Lost Gorondia (AKA a random theory about Goron history with literally zero evidence to back it up)

Massive spoilers for Tears of the Kingdom

While it is true that none of the temples look like Temples at all, that’s usually because they focus on looking more like Dungeons in a video game. Unlike the Fire Temple, which, considering there are Minecart tracks you ride all over the place and rooms that seemingly serve no purpose but to house pottery and old abandoned Chests, as well as the name “Lost Gorondia Rediscovered”, I think it’s pretty likely that this is actually where the Gorons of Ancient Hyrule used to live

Gorons are almost all miners, and all would be miners if there weren’t a need for a few of them to stay back and run other important businesses, so it makes sense that the Gorons would live in the Depths. And furthermore that during the creation of Calamity Ganon when the Miasma (Gloom, Malice, whatever floats your boat) begins to spread through the Depths, they would abandon it because Gloom Bad

Where would they have come out of if they managed to dig their way out of the Depths?

I ‘unno

And the Gorons are described by the Sage of Fire as “the Goron people”, which doesn’t sound like something you’d call the inhabitants of a city. He does use more modern-sounding phrases like “Little rock” too, but considering Gorons may as well be living rocks that’s probably just the way it sounds to us as humans that don’t live in Hyrule

so I haven't played tears of the kingdom yet but this is what's important about the game from what I've gathered from Tumblr:

Prince Sidon is engaged. People are upset about that.

there's this new flying monster thing in the snowy region and it's really scary.

link can build sick things like a tank, nukes, and a mannequin that shoots fire out of its dick

Gannon is hot because one staffer felt like making him hot this game

the npcs are really chill

there's a furry

the devs were sick of people complaining about the deteriorating mechanic so they made a new system

Zelda is a cryptid

#pls reblog this with things I've missed #I can't wait to get the game #I've been waiting since forever #my 2020 2000+ hour botw phase is coming back #i can feel it #tears of the kingdom #totk #totk speculation

Whoever designed the TOTK Gibdos deserves both a promotion and a one-way ticket to hell, for simultaneously being the smartest designer alive and also making me want to throw up.

AS IF THEY COULDN’T GET CREEPIER. NINTENDO WHY.

I like to think the frilly things on their necks are gills but for sand? No idea how that’d work, maybe they inhale it through the mouth, then run it though some organ that extracts oxygen from the sand’s minerals before pushing the depleted leftovers out the gills? It’d probably make it easier for a Gibdo to stay buried for longer, and they also look extremely cool so no complaints haha

GUYS i just noticed sidon doesnt have the croen in thr fight scene with link

now link already has the zonai shield and maybe his corrupted hand? wich means no time travel or whatnot (plus theyre on a sky island)

WICH MEANS that sidon became king in the mid of totks story, soo we most likely witness dorephans death and/or sidons coronation

silly little headcannon please let me get my thoughts down:

so in Botw, Clavia gives Link a quest in Hateno Called “Secret of the Cedars”,

located on Madorna mountain; directly north of the village. Clavia sets up the quest by saying she found a letter in an old book in her house about a legend involving the mountain.

still with me? great.

if you go into any house in the village you’ll find these sugar/flour jars. the jars are Hateno’s signature blue and white colours with a logo of a three-peaked mountain range. it’s kinda hard to see, but it’s there. i think those jars are part of Hateno’s agricultural business.

it would make sense to associate the village with the mountain cedars because of its proximity and uniqueness. the odd placement of the trees is noteworthy. so noteworthy in fact, that hylians were writing folklore about it (evidence being Clavia’s letter). but that’s not all…

the tree-mountain motif isn’t just on jars; it’s design is literally EVERYWHERE in the village. painted on sheds, houses, furniture, crates, gates, pots, bowls, clothing, books, HELL EVEN THE SCHOOL NEWSLETTER HAS THE LOGO ON IT.

safe to say, Hateno Village itself is associated with the Madorna mountain cedars. my guess is that this connection was made the very day that Hateno was created. the tree/mountain symbol is woven into Hateno’s very foundation which probably extended to their farming business, which is why the design on the jars is so interesting. i actually made my own Hateno jar! the hylian translates to “Secret Cedars Imports” :)

thanks for listening!

Something that bothers me about the backstory of Tears of the Kingdom is that the fall of Zonai civilization is never explained. Even before the war with the Demon King, the Zonai already seemed to be in severe decline. During his formal surrender, Ganondorf taunts Rauru by claiming that he and his sister Mineru are the only two remaining Zonai, and there seems to be no evidence to the contrary.

As Rauru guides Link through the Gardens of Time, he explains that the Zonai used their technology to build a civilization that "flourished for many, many years," presumably before the founding of Hyrule. In Breath of the Wild, ancient technology was somewhat sinister, as demonstrated by the disasters precipitated by the malfunctions of the Divine Beasts. Was the decline of the Zonai also connected to their technology, somehow?

I'm intrigued by the implications of Rauru's meditations on the Temple of Time, which he claims was originally on the surface. I wonder how the islands floating over Hyrule came to exist, and whether their creation was perhaps an unintended consequence of Zonai technology. This is just a theory, but such disruptions to the natural environment might be a result of the use of the secret stones in particular, which might explain why Hyrule Castle suddenly rose into the sky as soon as the seal on the stones it was built to protect was broken.

I just noticed that the secret spring of revival has two grand poes. One could possibly be the king, and the other is right where Link woke up in botw on the surface. I think the shrine of resurrection didn't quite work as the Sheika intended, I think it just sped up the inevitable reincarnation process that Link and Zelda already go through. I think botw/totk Link has a different soul than the one from a hundred years ago did. And might be why his amnesia was so bad, he was literally just reborn moments ago with a brand new soul. And due to this reincarnation being sped up like it was and in the previous Links body, these two Links are basically the same guy. He is the Link from a hundred years ago but slightly to the left. He might have a different soul now and have a hard time remembering his past, but he's still Link. Ship of Theseus but with Link i guess. Is it the same guy if he has a different soul than before and has trouble remembering the past? I would say yeah it's the same guy. And I don't think the previous version of himself from 100 years ago would be mad at him for "replacing" him, someone needs to be there for Hyrule and Zelda and if it wasn't him specifically a slightly to the left version of himself is good. And botw link didn't exactly ask for the role, he was just kinda created and kicked into the world he was told he has to save.

Although this is just speculation. I'm still staring at the grand poe at the spring of revival suspiciously. Because it is right where botw Link woke up on the Surface and that seems not coincidental

It would also be very angst if Link ran into himself while in the depths, like oh hey is that poe ME. I think they would have a lovely conversation actually, once they're done freaking out. Alive Link freaking out at first seeing a poe version of himself, and poe Link freaking out at first because is that HIS BODY MOVING AROUND.

I've been actively avoiding the fan communities to stay spoiler-free up to now, so forgive me if this has been brought up before, but quick question. Does anyone recall how Rhondson and Hudson got engaged almost immediately after you brought her in as the town tailor? Because between that and Mipha's intent to give Link the Zora armor as an engagement gift, I get the impression that Hyrule women make marriage proposals by offering articles of clothing to their intended husbands.

With that in mind, it suddenly makes a lot more sense why Zelda was so excited in her diary entry about the tunic she made for Link, why she went to so much effort to keep it secret, and why she arranged for him to find it in the throne room. The same throne room, mind you, where the seat of power is conspicuously repositioned to be off center, as if to make room for TWO thrones (which you can see in the puppet Zelda's illusion). The implications sort of speak for themselves.

Anyway, I just wanted to ruin y'all's day with that added layer of angst over the situation.

I think i have an idea why everyone thinks the house in Hateno is Zelda's not Link, hear me out.

During Botw, we were running around all over the place despite the fact we have a house, most of the time we do not sleep there, we either do not sleep there or sleep in the stables or near camp fire (admit it, you rarely go there to sleep), you go there to put a neat weapon on display and leave. My point is non of the villagers would even notice if someone lives there or not, even with a big fat sign "Link's house"

Now post Botw, Link has to bring Zelda somewhere, of course not in the castle, theres nothing there, but he does have a house that he rarely uses. And when she started living there, the house started to feel like someone lived there and people finally noticed that someone lives there. And who do they see living there, the Princess of Hyrule Zelda.

Obviously there’s been a lot of speculation around what those magatama’s shown in the recent trailer are meant to be. It probably is as simple as saying “they’re THE tears of the kingdom” *mic drop, explosions* but it’s not the first time an item of that shape and size has been seen in the Legend of Zelda series

Amber Relics (and Dusk Relics) are the same shape. The Amber Relics description says “No one knows where their strange shape comes from”

But that’s not the only magatama/tear shaped item in Skyward Sword

The tears you collect in the Silent Realms also have a similar shape (and are literally called TEARS to boot). Maybe the link is trickier with this one but Dusk Relics are most commonly found within the Silent Realms, so if Link does have to go around collecting these magatama’s maybe this is the place to do it??

So what does this mean? No idea, just your normal Skyward Sword fanatic trying to find as many links as possible

But what I will say is I am hoping the magatama’s have nothing to do with Silent Realms
