SHUT UP. SHUT UP. NO WAY.
Echoes of wisdom with a sword!!🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️
Zelda navigates the Still World
ECHOES OF WISDOM PUPPET LINK CONFIRMED⁉️⁉️⁉️ HELLOOOOO
I saw a few reposts of my eow art that basically said I called it, so I RAN to see the new trailer and,,,,
I MANIFESTED THAT SHIT LETS GOOO EVIL/PUPPET LINK REAL CONFIRMED⁉️ They 200% stole that from me, I need to be credited /j
Ofc it might play out very different to what I imagine, that’s even highly likely, but I’m still SOOO EXCITED!!! (If it’s a fakeout where you don’t get to fight him or smth like that I’ll be so mad)
Also, that blue swordswoman Zelda seems pretty cool, tho I did like the idea of her not using any actual weapons,,,, Zelda cosplaying link is fun too lol
Also also, is it known yet where in the timeline eow falls? Is it the same link and Zelda as alltp/la etc? Or completely new ones? Or other one than alltp? Or is it not known at all so far??
figuring out designs while my switch charges 😭
same old story...
i’m three moves away from writing an in depth think piece on how much TOTK follows so many themes of popular studio ghibli movies just to satisfy my own insanity
there is a certain type of loneliness that envelops all of totk's hyrule.
some people recognize us and others act as if they'd never met us in the first place.
the house in hateno is zelda's now, not a trace of us left within its walls. (not a trace of the displayed weapons that once belonged to the companions that haunted us.)
our loyal horse is still the same, though it lacks it's old equipment. the old riding trails are interrupted by fallen debris and more than once we had to take long detours to find out footing.
i found our old hair tie, but I can't bear to wear it. we're not the champion anymore.
it feels as though we are a ghost on familiar streets with a fleeting touch that will never last.
Zelda's tears, Link's suffering
How frustrating will it be for Zelda and Link when they will learn that the sacrifices made during BOTW Where for naught.
The useless praying
The guardians
The divine creatures
The soldiers death
The champion's and the king's death
Link's death (and 100 years nap)
Zelda's 100 years of arm-wrestling with Ganon (and lost of her divine powers)
All of this to hold back and beat a sliver of the real deal.
That what was depicted in the ancient mural was not what happened. (It was so much worse)
Their role isn't finished, they don't get to have their happily either after yet.
They will have to fight and to suffer and to sacrifice and to struggle in order to get stronger and to win (to finally rebuilt the kingdom and live in peace).
They will probably hope that the price to pay won't be too high (Not like last time).
Time travel ?
I didn't like this theory but the last trailer almost conviced me of the possibility of time travel in the game.
I would honestly prefer it if there was memories of the pas to unlock that will show the battle against Ganon, 10.000 years ago. (I hope it's that and not actual time travel).
There was a theory of there being two playable Link : the one from BOTW and the ancient hero.
But the trailer (in my opinion) showed us 2 Zeldas (the one from BOTW and the coloured girl in the priest dress with a Hylia glowing hand) and 2 Ganondorf (the one with flowy and glowing hair that looks like Demise and the rehydrated mummy that looks like TP's Ganondorf).
There's also the throne room in the castle that is in pristine condition (with some sparkling aura around the edge of the image).
And a shot of the woman that we saw on a precedent traler (a mural with that figure surrounded by tears) that coul be a flash of the past.
................................................
And if I were to theorize, I would say that the green glowing hand holding the mummified Ganondorf is the bulky dude who put his hand on Zelda's shoulder while singing Link's praises.
But that's just a theory (I don't have a clue of who it might be).
Totk minute of silence
The trailer showed a lot, but there were some pieces missing.
First of all : long hair is no more trending among the girls in Hyrule (I still hold some hope for Paya).
Second of all : some tima has passed between the two games and there might have been collateral damage.
Impa was old, already past 110 years at least. She might not be there in this game. Paya could have taken her place or maybe she accepted to try Purah's brand of crazy and got turned into a kid.
Same thing with Robby. (I hope not but, well... they're already elderly in Botw).
King Dorephan might be deceased too. We can see in the trailer that Sidon's outfit was changed : he has more armor on his shoulder and torso, he wears more tissues too (on his neck and on his hands). But the more telling part is the crown on his head. It looks terribly similar to King Dorephan's crown.
I also think the same thing might have happened to Blurbo (if I remember his name correctly), the chief of the Gorons. We don't see Yunobo in the trailers so maybe there's something going on with the goron (that or he got a growth spurt and totally changed physically).
This is just a theory without any proof but the Rito's Chief could have died too and Teba stood up to take his place. That's the 'positive' theory because in the 'negative' one, Teba could have been killed as a warrior by some monsters and his son stood up to take the champion mantle. (I hope I'm wrong because I really liked Teba. He was some reliable adult compared to the others champions. I mean, he has dad vibes). I'm rooting for Chief Teba with all my heart.
Third point :
Link's happiness might be dead in this one.
That and his arm (even though he gets a cooler one later).
And his sword
And his tranquility, his hobbies, his plans for the week
But, hey, at least he can go explore some floating islands and he gets to extent his wardrobe !
If it's really a Zelda from the past, then we will finally get a colored Zelda.
Because we were robbed of it with Tetra (who turned pastry white in her Zelda outfit).
Until now, Zelda's incarnation were always clear colored.
Hey am I the only one who feels like this (^^^^) could be a previous incarnation of Zelda, like from the First Calamity??? It's just a bit of speculation floating around in my brain, but here me out
Throughout the trailer, Zelda appears to be wearing the exact same outfit as the character above. Around her neck, Mystery Lady is wearing the same weird glowy tear-shaped object Zelda is seen holding. She's wielding what looks like some sort of light-based power, which reminds me of Zelda's divine power. And, imo, she does have a bit of a superficial resemblance to our current Zelda
And, in this screenshot, we can see that Zelda has acquired tear-like markings on her cheeks similar to those of the Mystery Woman
What this really makes me wonder is, if this Is the previous incarnation of Zelda, why is she here?? How is she going to show up in the game/what role is she going to play? Will there be time travel?? Will it be like Skyward Sword, where they had to go back in time to truly defeat the Demon King???
