I Have Two Ideas On This:

I have two ideas on this:

One possibility is that Rose had been collecting a large amount of wishing stars in hopes of running experiments on them. It was known that wishing stars emit energy, so maybe he was trying to see if there was a way to use them as a renewable energy source. Eventually Rose would have accidentally stockpiled enough of what are literally pieces of eternatus' body for it to reconstruct itself. One moment it's a pile of wishing stars, the next they're glowing and clumping together untill poof: you now have one realy sickly looking god.

Another possibility focuses on how Rose owns the galar mines. If I understood the lore correctly, then the glowing gems all over the caves are used for fuel. Not only that, but considering how much time Bede spends hunting for wishing stars in the mines its more than likely there are a lot of them down there. Maybe while excavating a new tunnel the miners open up a sealed cavern with a hibernating Eternatus within. It would probably look similar to the cocoons of yeveltal and Xerneas. Something like that would get reported, so Rose would come to investigate.

Here’s a question I don’t think I’ve seen any theories on yet - just how did Rose even find Eternatus in the first place?

There are 11 playable links in the loz, 12 if oracles is actualy his own link, 16 if you count triforce hero's and hyrule legends, and 19 if you count the four swords hero as 4 separate links.

List with games featuring same link grouped:

• Skyward sword

• Minish cap

• Four swords & four swords adventures

• ocarina of time and majora's mask

• twilight princess

• Wind waker & phantom hourglass

• Spirit tracts

• The original loz & the adventure of link

• Link between worlds

• Breath of the wild

• Link to past, oracles, & links awakening

• hyrule legends

• triforce heroes

Explanations of oddities in the counting:

It is possible that the link from oracles is his own hero.

There are 3 heroes in trifoce heros.

The reason why I put triforce heroes and hyrule legends in a separate grouping is due to uncertainty over if they are considered cannon to the loz universe.

-> there is also the hero of 10000 years ago who is mentioned in botw, but has no game.

-> There is also the First Hero from that comic if you want to count him as cannon. (personally I don't. It's not that I don't like him, it's just it conflicts with what I understand the intro to skyward sword is saying.)

So, that would make the current max number of links -if you count all as cannon- to be 21.

Fun note! The four swords link is a lovely example of why the official timeline is worthless. It is more than heavy-handedly implied that it is the same link in the two four swords games.

Considering the people of hyrule's habit of forgetting the hero's name the moment he dies, I find it extremely unlikely that they would mention link by name if it's not the same link. Also considering hyrule's long standing tradition of forgetting about where major big bad evils are sealed, I have very, very, VERY many doubts that they would just happen to have been keeping meticulous track of where a minor wind sorcerer is seald. Need more convincing? So according to the timeline, the minish cap and four swords are right next to each other. By the events of four swords the hero's name from minish cap has been forgotten. Now if the timeline is to be believed, an absurd amount of time and one timeline split later they still remember the story of the four swords perfectly. Yet have no recollection of oot or tp. That doesn't line up. So I'm calling BS on the timeline.

Oh you want more math? Sure thing!

Only counting links that are for sure cannon = 11 links

If oracles is separate link = 12 links

Counting four swords as 4 links = 14 links

FS = 4 links + oracles = 15 link

FS + oracles + hero of 10000 years ago = 16 links

I could go on, but I don't really feel like doing that right now.

Story time!

I collectively refer to these three drawings as "The Joke That Went Way Too Far". This is because they were never meant to be a serious fleshed out art piece, but then the drawing that is now my icon happened.

This whole story began with me being bored and deciding to do a quick rough drawing of majora as a Keaton. I was doing it mostly as a joke. I had no clue that this quick sh#tpost of a doodle would lead to me spending uncountable hours on a single art piece.

So anyways yeah these are 3 drawings of majora as a Keaton. The first one I drew uses the color palette from the original official art of majora, it's the one where the tails are all the same. The second one I drew uses the color palette from botw, so it has more hydrated colors. I spent more time on the detailing on that one. The last one I drew is the headshot. I originally started drawing it as a way to better visualize how the markings would look on a canine head. Somehow I found myself spending a truly ridiculous amount of time putting the most effort into shading I have ever done on it.

Looking back, I'm really glad that I ended up making these drawings. The two side profile drawings are super rough, but they were never meant to be fully finished art.

Ordered this lil guy on etsy from WubbieWorldShop, and just look at him! So cute!

Oleana: uhhhh mr. Chairman whatcha got there?

Rose, with eternatus standing right behind him: a smoothie.

Jokes aside, i actually have some food for though on this:

Going off of my first idea of how Rose found eternatus, well he wouldn't have to sneak it in. would have reformed in the power plant's lab. The only transportation he'd have to deal with is moving eternatus to where he kept it in that giant orb.

If we use the second theory on how Rose found an eldritch god, well think about this: its a tired, injured pokemon, and he's a pokemon trainer. "This will be a piece of cake to catch". And at first it looks that way; eternatus doesn't put up a fight, the pokeball barely shakes before the tell-tale click of a successful catch is heard.

So Rose returns to the powerplant with no issues, there's nothing strange about a trainer carrying pokeballs on him. The issues don't start until hours later. Rose takes out the pokeball with his new catch to see that it is riddled with cracks. And its starting to shake. Rose manages to realize what wrong in time to chuck the pokeball before it explodes. At this point it's clear to Rose that he's going to need to come up with an unconventional way to contain this thing and fast. But until he can make that happen...

Rose goes through a lot of pokeballs in the time it takes to build a suitable containment.

…Wait. Wait a fucking minute.

Why am I asking “how did Rose even find Eternatus?” when I should be asking “HOW THE FUCK DID HE SMUGGLE THAT GIGANTIC SON OF A BITCH INTO THE HAMMERLOCKE POWER PLANT WITHOUT ANYONE NOTICING?”

SIXTY-FIVE FEET

I mean THAT’S FUCKING HUGE

So Oleana is canonically 5 ft 11 in her heels, right? Let’s do a height comparison, if we pretend Eternatus can stand like a humanoid for a moment.
