I want to rape Link
>>342590276
Any more like these?
It's no BotW but still
So is it confirmed we're in the Fallen Herobullshittimeline ?
He has the same haircut, the game is inspired by the original, Hyrule is in ruins, Ganon is the main antagonist, etc.
And he also has a telepathic connection with Zelda
>>342590615
>>342590615
>you'll never play a zelda game where ganondorf win
>tfw he did nothing wrong in the wind waker
>>342590692
I'm getting a porky chubby...
>>342590642
Nothing about the story is confirmed except for the part where Ganon is backand even then it might not really be him
I was playing TPHD earlier and noticed this eye suspiciously similar to the Sheikah emblem on Zant's throne, and the Twilight technology looks similar to the tech in BotW. Do you think there's a connection?
>>342590692
would look better with out the nasty pig
>>342590856
>tfw he did nothing wrong in the wind waker
Dude, Wind Waker basically made him a muslim extremist
>Comes from desert lands

>>342590896
you tell me
>>342590642
>telepathic connection with Zelda
When did Nintendo say the voice was Zelda?
>>342590896
The twili were a dark race (definitely probably sheikah) that got banished to the twilight realm for doing dark shit ( beneath the well and probably majoras mask)
I could Def see this tech being twili related.
>>342591276
They could have atleast added the ghost ship and some of the other triforce chart stuff and still had their joke land.
>>342591276
The game that made you want to strangle Tingle more than you ever did before.
>>342590896
>>342591265
I mean the technology in Botw being sheikah basically strengthens the theory that the sheikah are twili right?
>>342591041
Don't forget
>sends out a giant bird to kidnap a bunch of girls while he just sits around in a fortress
Here we go
>>342590856
You missed the part where he destroy a whole island just to kill a giant fish? Also not sure if he directly try to kill the Deku tree or not but he might had done that as well. Been forever since I play the game and I pass on the HD edition.
>>342591747
>>342591693
>just sits around in a fortress
He went out and destroyed what would've been the 3rd dungeon
>>342591845
>>342591903
>>342591785
He was looking for the Goddess Pearls. Kalle Demos was preparing to attack the Forest Haven when Makar got lost, Gohma was in the midst of fucking with Valoo when Link steps in, and Ganon had already destroyed Greatfish and forced Jabun to leave by that point in the game.
>>342591276
Poor Aril, mang.
>>342589581
I need more naked confused Link in my life.
Any weebs to translate that?
>>342591567
>>342590896
They definitely are, the eye is right on the back of the Fused Shadows helmet. It seems like the Sheikah had futuristic technology before recorded history in any of the games, evidenced by their symbol on pic related, and also those little robots that work in the facility creating these stones have black crown shapes on their heads with similarities to Midna's Fused Shadow crown. The BotW Guardians seem to have similar curls down the back of them like the crown too.
Maybe when we're told in TP that they used "magic" to try and get the Triforce it actually means "technology" so advanced it would be considered magic in Link's era, or maybe it was a mix of both.
I like to think that what you take as twili magic in game is more like techmagic anyway, Phantom Zant is a fucking hologram
The Guardians look like they might have been attacking the temple of time, maybe BotW takes place before SS at the new beginning of the timeline, maybe it even involves some more history on their banishment to twilight
>>342592523
Not him but I highly doubt this comes before SS
>>342591276
>No Puppet Ganon
That was a Zant level stupid boss
>>342592612
>Temple of Time ripped straight from OoT, but in ruins
>Koroks exist (which are descendants of Kokiri)
yeah there's no way in hell it's before OoT even
>>342592772
>Koroks exist (which are descendants of Kokiri)
Didn't the Deku Tree just say that they changed back to their original form?Their SS form was the cutest and best form.
>>342592523
Forgot to mention those curls, kind of a spiral motif, are in a few interesting places.
The horns and back of the Fused Shadow, the Guardians, and all over Gohdan. Under his mouth, the ends of his mustache, his finger tips and all the spokes on his head. He and the Tower of the Gods are the only advanced tech in Wind Waker.
I can't remember every place it shows up but it seems related to them
>>342592772
Got me on the Koroks but the temple seems to have been moved or rebuilt before hasn't it? It seems more likely that the temple was moved into the sacred grove after OoT than the entire castle and castle town moved away from it.
>>342589581
please source, google not being helpful atm
>>342589581
>>342593332
nvm found it!
>>342593114
> "Once upon a time, long ago, the Koroks took on human forms, but when they came to live on the sea, they took these shapes." — Great Deku Tree
Hm, took on human forms might or might not mean they had another form before being Kokiri
Good enough for me, I just like the theory of BotW being back at the beginning. You could explain such high tech appearing for the first time in this game that way, as it would be much closer to the era when the Sheikah built it. SS implies that their tech era was a long time ago.
Also there's suddenly a statue of Hylia in the temple, could be before she raised everything up to the sky
I remember some people citing the ancient sea salt you can find as evidence it's after WW, but in SS you find out the Lanayru Desert used to be a great ocean before the Sheikah ruined it
>>342593114
He never said 'original' form, just that they had changed forms
>>342593183
The ruins of OoT's Castle Town are around the Temple of Time in BotW, and the ToT has only appeared in 4 games (OoT, TP, and BotW where it looks nearly identical, and SS where it's a random statue in a desert)
Maybe Castle Town from OoT is what eventually became the Sacred Grove in TP, and Hyrule Castle had already moved by the time BotW takes place (with TP's Castle Town later built around it)
Maybe the event that put Link out for 100 years also forced an exodus of both OoT's Castle Town and Kakariko Village
>>342593114
>>342592523
Also rusted Master Sword, this game'll probably be the end of the line of the Zelda timeline.
>>342593772
>Maybe the event that put Link out for 100 years also forced an exodus of both OoT's Castle Town and Kakariko Village
>SHUTOUT like the shrine was some kind of shelter
I don't remember signs of Castle Town in BotW, it did look like there used to be a rampart all around the plateau
>>342595138
How have people been able to translate the runes?
>>342595462
There were some obvious stuff, like "COMPASS" and "THERMOMETER" next to the compass and thermometer on the map screen
Then you test that theory on other things by using the same letters and filling in the blanks until you get something cohesive, it's all a bunch of trial and error
It would've been significantly harder if it wasn't based on English this time
>>342596026
Err, clock and thermometer rather.
>>342591693
>>342591041
People need to fucking learn that "having legitimate grievances" is not the same as "doing nothing wrong."
Yes Ganondorf has legitimate reasons to be mad, no that doesn't mean literally everything he does is justified.
>>342596026
Based on English this time you say? What Zeldas do this? Just TP?
>>342597297
In most of the modern games hylian is based on Japanese.
>>342597384
That's why I'm asking, I know TP is based on English, so I was wondering if others were at all. It's entirely possible that could hint at it being in the Child Timeline. Not that it makes a difference as there's no way to tell at this point, but oh well.
>>342591258
Zelda's lullaby plays real slow on the piano when the voice speaks to Link. Not to say they're not throwing us a red herring, but.
>>342597384
>>342597574
IIRC only OoT and TWW have Japanese syllable based writing systems and only TP and BotW have English alphabet based writing systems

They're everywhere, fuck
>>342600129
Only one I have
>>342591041
So Gannondorf's motivation is he has sand in his vagina?
>>342600129
Here you go anon
>>342602243
I'm not going to lie, that's cool as fuck.
>>342600129
>>342603924
There was some vid where the player tricked the baddies to attack some of the local wildlife. Not like accidental friendly fire, but by Link staying hidden. If it is possible to actually turn them against each other, I will be enjoying that trick constantly.
>>342603924
This is the best fucking thing. I love this game.
>>342596026
>>342595138

>>342600129
here
>>342592523
Link to the Past was originally planned to go down this route, with the Triforce actually being a super advanced microchip that was just so advanced it looked like magic.
>>342606050
>speculate this is the goal point of some dungeon
It's the goal point of a shrine. We saw link get there and the old man/sage congratulate him for getting through the shrine.
We'll see if it the cipher comes in handy later though.
Reminder that this will be the true secret technique in BotW.
>>342606613
i've seen so many people say this and never back it up. also they always say the nes one
>>342606613
That did you know gaming thing was actually a hoax and bullshit. Sorry that is not real.
>>342607448
http://www.zeldadungeon.net/2012/11/the-triforce-was-originally-meant-to-be-chips/
>>342607604
It's in the Historia you shitbag.
>>342607752
What page, i have it right here i don't see it.
>>342589717
This one is the best.
>>342607448
It might have been an idea at some point. Wasn't the cartridge gold? They could have gone for cartridge=triforce allusion.
>someone will repeat this as fact
>>342607448
Miyamoto said in an untranslated interview that they made the cartridge gold to symbolize the Triforce and how it contained hidden chips/technology. If you were Japanese you could look it up.
>>342608246
So Zelda was going to be one of those "magic is actually super science after the apocalypse" things?
>>342606613
>>342607448
Yeah I've heard this before, haven't read the Historia but this is from there I think? Tech Zelda concepts
We could be headed there, the neon circuitry in the Fused Shadow, and the BotW runes look like the Sheikah could transfer data through liquid
If you look at some enemies there was always advanced tech for the era the game takes place in, any game with beamos shooting lasers and armos
>>342606050
Wow game's not even close to release and people already started decyphering codes
>>342608421
With all the ancient robots and their time travel factory in SS, and that game being considered the first in the timeline, you can take it as Zelda was always that kind of game if you want.
Though there doesn't have to have been an apocalypse, and magic may have always existed in the world of Zelda, in the technology age as well
>>342603924
someone forgot to turn friendly fire off
>>342590692
>PORKED.jpg
>>342609150
Most of this text will probably change before release anyhow.
>>342609168
I mean, somebody had to invent the robots and then have a reason to vanish, leaving them behind. A disease or disaster is usually the easiest way to kill off the previous civilization while leaving their technology behind.
>>342609592
There was civilization in Hyrule before SS. Remember that Hylia had to raise a few survivors into Skyloft to escape Demise fucking everyone up. There just wasn't a Link or Zelda before that time so it's not relevant to any game.
>>342609679
Oh. I really need to play SS. I keep putting it off from all the complaints it gets, like hand holding.
>>342609952
It's a good game. Handlholding being the most offensive thing about it. The controls are good. Some people are retarded and don't understand them but if you are a sane person they will be fun for you.
>>342609679
I'm curious whether they would have Link saving Hylia directly if they did make another prequel.
>>342589717
kek
>>342609592
Yeah, whether or not they vanished most of their knowledge and technology did.
Since we're definitely talking about those all seeing Sheikah fucks, maybe in TP when we're told the Godesses had them banished for trying to control the sacred realm it's a sort of metaphor for them dominating and ruining the land/planet with their advanced civilization, like we see they did to the Lanayru ocean in SS
>>342609592
There was that dragon. He seemed to have a thing for robots.
We'll get a demo for it, right?
>>342610969
Don't bet on it.
>>342609952
I initially dropped Skyward Sword around the 70% mark when it was new because I couldn't stand the game.
But I replayed the game recently right before Twilight Princess HD was released. And I'll be frank and say that I actually quite loved the game.
It most certainly has very glaring flaws, but it thankfully does many great things to compensate.
The game does stop and pause hold your hand far too much and often. And that really sucks. Terrible in fact.
On the plus side however, whenever you actually stop to look at something on your own volition, there are lots of interesting stuff to find. You can even have Fi tell you lore and observational data on every item, enemy, and NPC in the game.
The game actually has huge improvements in how you control and move Link, both inside and outside of combat.
Of course with this being Skyward Sword this is also met with tons of enemies with absolute terrible enemy design making this improvement very hard to appreciate a lot of the time.
A real lack of towns/NPCs on the surface. Which really is damn dull.
But on the plus side Skyloft in the sky is probably the best town of the Zelda franchise.
None of the different regions on the surface world are interconnected, and you are required to travel by sky to go from one area to another. You can't travel from region of the surface world to a different one. Which sucks.
On the other hand however, the regions and dungeons that do exist on the surface world are pretty neatly crafted. And even incorporate short cuts and other cool stuff for you to find, open, and or uncover.
The way the story is executed makes the game slower.
But the story and characterization is still kind of neat and sweet.
They have you fight a relatively dull bossfight several times over.
But most of the bosses are really quite neat.
And so on and so on.
>>342611280
Skyward Sword actually came with lots of improvements. But I guess that also makes it all the more frustrating how the game had to trip all over itself and take steps backwards with each step forward.
But all things considered. If you can look past its flaws such as the handholding and how the game interrupts you all the time, then there is indeed a lot to appreciate when it comes to the game. But that's of course assumng you can actually deal with the flaws.
>>342609952
The first time I played SS, the teardrop collecting was weirdly frustrating. I played it again recently, and it was just the easiest thing ever. I guess I just know the map better now.
>>342612069
>>342612069
>Uncut
>>342612434
But link doesnt live in the USA or Israel. There's no reason for him to be mutilated.

>implying there isn't evidence that the Sheikah live on another plane of existence and they just lend their tech to lesser societies now
We see evidence of a once high-tech society in nearly all of the games released since 2003, but we know nothing of their culture, just that these said societies have collapsed in at least 2 of the timelines. It doesn't add up if it's just random societies naturally developing the same damn techonology, only to fall apart time and time again.
Thanks to this game, now all of the evidence looks like its starting to come together. The Sheikah, a supposedly "extinct" race since even before the days of SS's era, has been responsible-has connections for the following:
>the gate of time
>maybe even the Skyward Sword
>the ancient Lanayru sandsea civilization
>timeshift stones
>the ocarina of time, since it's made of timeshift stones
>the guardians and the Sheikah slate
>the Fused Shadows
>the Twili, who were either a rogue branch of Sheikah, or people who manipulated Sheikah tech
>Majora's Mask, which bears a strong similarity to the Fused Shadows
>the Tower of The Gods, which uses extremely similar tech
>the mask of truth
>the lense of truth
>gossip stones
>helped with whatever the fuck went down in the well and shadow temple
>potentially a link to the Lokomo and their tech
and etc.
Less evidence that they went extinct and more evidence that they were always watching.
>>342612529
No, but I've noticed that there bits and pieces of a bunch of main themes from previous games in it.
So why was it okay for the treehouse girls to fawn over link with his shirt off and we can't have games on nintendo platforms that show cleavage?
>>342613369
Because that's not how neither feminism nor equality works, silly famalabam
>>342613127
>or people who manipulated Sheikah tech
In looking at all of this recently I've seen some good theories linking the Gerudo and Twili, like Zant wearing the symbol already when he first meets Ganon. Unless he'd been worshiping him already and that was just their first face to face, I don't remember that cutscene.
But Gerudo using Sheikah tech is a cool thought.
These things, Guardians from SS, are really interesting. Clearly robots, got the three triangle motif. And in Zelda games usually an enemy that shares the same name across games is related.
>>342611280
Its really a mixed bag. I say it doesnt hold a candle to other games like OoT, WW, maybe TP. But it's still a good game. The game itself gets irritating at times but the story makes up for it.
>>342591791

Fi is legitimately funny because she comments on the look and or behaviour of things in ways not related to how you actually use them.
Just about the one sole good feature about her.
Given we now have perfect party, hero time, acrobatic bowing, is there any chance we get blade mode? Will be a good way to keep enemies with localized weakness or to bypass guards

guys
naked link was confirmed for the final version of the game
>>342623329
It's not a double jump. It's a buffer for the shield boarding animation to play out as he equips it. It didn't need to be a flip, but they liked it and went with it. Can't fault the artist for integrity.

>>342591276
>Link protecting Medli
m-muh heart... ;_;
>>342623329
Well if you look closely he's not double jumping or anything, he's just twisting his feet backwards as he brings the shield on his back down to meet his feet, then continuing with the backwards motion rather than trying to change direction and bring his feet back down.
The altitude gain is not real, his head goes under his body and his contracted body extends a little bit as his feet flip up and he jerks his center of gravity up. Also at that moment the ground happens to lower in elevation slightly.
There is some hang time but that seems more like a gameplay mechanic for smoother transitions.
>>342623469

It doesn't even matter what side your on, that completele an utter BTFO at the hands of the King over the Triforce makes you wrong. No one who gets shitted on that bad can possibly be righteous.
>>342625973
I kind of wish he would be. It'd be cool to play through the game only to find out the guy you have been trusting turns out to be a recurring villain in the past. And then once you find out, he's been either using you or has been making amends to his sins.
>>342626614
Well then why assume it's the king? The only argument anybody used for that was that he resembled the guy from WW, so if it isn't him then there's no real reason to believe it.
>>342626837
I think the latter would be amazing. Ganondorf the man separated from Ganon the beast, aiding Link to quash his dark side once and for all.
>>342626972
Because it's supposed to be a hint and there is no better way to do it than make him similar to the previous "incarnation"
>>342626972
Zelda and other characters often look the same despite being different people each time
Then again Ganondorf looks completely different between some games despite being literally the same dude
I know the guy that put together most of the glyph stuff, so here's the chart up to where he stopped
Only missing 2 letters and numbers (if there are any)
How is is Link's dick full erect?

The Guardians in Skyward Sword were built by the gods, and the Guardians in BotW were built by the Sheika. This gives be a wild, almost baseless theory:
What if the gods in Zelda were just humans with technology advanced enough to achieve singularity and the sheika that are still around are the devision that stay around to make sure their work is completed. It would explain why there's always so few of them, but they never seem to go away completely, and why the "spirits of the gods" and the technology of the Sheika look so similar.

Hey, she was nice. Despite being so damn annoying she grew to my hearth enough that when Fi's Farewell started playing I shed some tears.
Also I love her "voice acting".

And I'm sure some of the obvious stuff she explains is more of a joke than anything, but since the game is full of handholding it was hard to know what's a joke and what isn't.

>usually we are always shown the new big bad guy early

>this game show Calamity Ganon even before it's out
So, Calamity Ganon isn't the final boss. Who is it?
Here is a bad idea. Remember the big notGanondorf who is sealed in the Master Sword? Remember how the Master Sword is shown in the title screen? What would happen if the Master Sword were to break before Demises soul is fully devoured?
The bad guy is actuallyThe Master Sword. Since it's close to breaking, Demise managed to take over, manifest his power as Calamity Ganon and is using the weakened and almost broken Master Sword.
Link's job is to find a way to purify the sword and repair it in order to defeat Calamity Ganon and Demins.

Well to be fair, recently we had A Link Between Worlds has Yuga actually maintain his major villainy to the end.
>>342629340
Except they're "breaking Zelda conventions" so there's a good chance Calamity Ganon is indeed the final boss.

>Sheikah are long extinct in WW

There's no way this is set anywhere near WW.
Speaking of Sheikahs, I have been playing Twilight Princess and I was recently at the hidden village of the Sheikahs of where the only one there was Impa. Impa was also tasked to help the hero of their time to restore power to the Dominion Rod in order to get to city in the sky. Anyone have any speculations to on how this would tie in?
Also I hope BoTW has settlements like that Hidden Village I mentioned but also you occasionally have to clear raiding monsters to save the inhabbitants of the settlement just like what you have to do in TP with clearing the Hidden Village of Blins.

Does anyone have any idea where the "Link has been asleep for 100 years" actually came from?
I remember hearing it from E3 but I don't actually remember from where.
I wonder this because 100 years really isn't that much time when you really think about it.
It's basically one lifetime. A long one, but still more or less a lifetime.
Basically meaning that if Link was truly asleep for just 100 years, the world from before his slumber should still be alive. Perhaps even a few individuals.
>>342592523
>The Guardians look like they might have been attacking the temple of time
In one of the recent interviews, Aonuma and Miyamoto did confirm that most of the guardians were "corrupted" by some malevolent force. So Ganon pretty much went full Skynet and abandoned his flesh form to become some all-encompassing corporeal destructive force instead.
>>342628284
I like it. I was going with a split of "good" and "evil" Sheikah, where the good ones would serve the Godesses and built the SS Guardians and the Tower of the Gods
>>342628489
That's Ganondorf. He uses that guy since he can't leave the sacred realm.
Agahnim is either an alter ego Ganon created himself or else he's just the person Ganon's soul is posessing. If the latter he may have been a Sheikah before posession but Ganon can be connected to them through MM if you assume the Sheikah created the Mask.
See the symbol on this guy that looks like a dancing man? His people seem to have at least worshiped Majora and built a tower of babel against the Godesses.
Not only is the jewel head the exact same deep orange color as the jewel and necklace Ganondorf/Ganon often wears
>>342631985
but here is the same symbol on the walls in their ancient castle. It's fucking Ganon blowing at you, the mouth of the dancing man makes his forehead jewel.
Also the two composer brother ghosts that were supposedly Sheikah in life wear this same symbol, only theirs is broken at both sides to form a triangle

LoZ did expose Ganon from the beginning, and this game looks a lot like LoZ. If they are injecting resurrection lore, than there may be a secondary villain in there.

>What if the gods in Zelda were just humans with technology advanced enough to achieve singularity and the sheika that are still around are the devision that stay around to make sure their work is completed.
I'm seriously beginning to suspect that this is actually the case.
The goddesses are a lie, concocted by either the Sheikah or the Royal Family, Hylia was a member of this race, all "magic" in Zelda is just reality-bending sci-fi tech, with the Triforce acting as a 'hard drive' to mantain the cycle and laws of reality in a given dimension.
But here's another question - if that's what the gods, demi-gods and the Sheikah are, then what are demons like Demise, Ghirahim, Majora and the like? Skyward Sword says that one day they just came from underground and started wrecking shit on the surface for the hell of it.
Ghirahim is proof that these said demons also possessed similar technology since he's pretty much a nega-version of the Master Sword; we also know that they're capable of manipulating the laws of reality thanks to Demise's time traveling deal and all of the shit that Majora's capable of doing.
It's always possible that demons are actually a subset of this same hyper-advanced race, but how or why did they become so corrupted to the point that they can destroy worlds and inevitably themselves if they're left unchecked?
>>342633465
The way some of the magic works, it kinda comes across as if Hyrule is in the matrix. As if the goddesses are developers that showed up once to tinker with the game engine and then were never seen again. Tron with trees.
>>342633465
Perhaps the 'Gods' relied more on tech and the 'Demons' more on magic and they fought over which was 'right' for the world. I've heard it's been said BotW has a tech vs nature theme or something. Related?
>>342633465
The technological aspects of Fi and the way she speaks support this.
I agree but it also seems to me like there is supposed to be genuine magic in the Zelda world. Perhaps triggered by technology.

>You sayin' Calamity Ganon is digital?
Yeah pretty much.
Honestly, I'm beggining to wonder if Zelda is in a similar position as well.
How or why would she talk to Link as if he remembers what happened 100 years ago? That would imply that she's also well over a hundred years or so in age. So unless if she was encased in some kind of magic barrier that prevented her from aging like what happened to her Skyward Sword, or had recently just woken up from cyrostasis like Link did, then she would be dead by now.
And thanks to a few clips from loads of the demo footage out there, we also know that Zelda isn't speaking to Link telepathically, but actually through his Sheikah slate. Link looks at his Sheikah slate whenever Zelda is speaking to him in-game; not through some cut scene.
Not only that, but we can see bright light at the center of Hyrule Castle that's managing to keep Calamity Ganon at bay during his reveal cutscene. My first assumption is that Zelda is actually this light.
So, what if Zelda had sacrificed her mortal form to become a sort of super AI to combat calamity Ganon? That we're trying to rid Hyrule of Ganon's AI corruption (as represented by red glowy tech shit) with Zelda's AI protocols (as represented by blue glowy tech shit.)
Imagine finally reaching the castle to save Zelda, only for Zelda to shyly admit that she is everywhere and nowhere through your Sheikah slate? That she has been with you thick and thin, watching you through the slate, through the resurrection towers, generating the items through your slate and so on? Would be pretty shocking and very sad from a story perspective.

That is what he is. He is a high priest and has been a priest his entire life.
Just about anything religious was cut out or reduced in the localization of ALttP though.
>>342636789
It's not just the reticle. The number of arrows is shown at the top left as well.Would be hilarious if they showed the number of arrows on the gamepad too. Do they? What does the gamepad show?
>>342636661
Would explain the hostile Guardians glowing that same pink color. I had the same exact thought about the light shining out of the castle, though I didn't put Zelda as an AI.
All that does sound like something they would do, at the same time I want Zelda to still have a mortal form, how's she gonna reincarnate? Even if all of that is spot on though there will probably be a bit of "magic" mixed in so anything is possible.
>>342636789
Not to even mention almost none of them ever even attempting to dodge, let alone utilize the witch time mechanic, I never saw anyone else even try the full heavy attacks for other weapons like the hammer.
>>342633465
Demons are by definition beings that defies/challenges Gods, so they're probably humans that are trying to harness enough "divine power" or "magic" (or whatever sci-fi power that translates into) to overthrow the rule of the present Gods (or Goddess in this case).
Steppe Talus is a Goron that has been cursed?

What if Zelda has always been an AI? And her nursemaid, whose always the last of the Sheikah by the way, installs it into a new body every time a girl child is born into the royal family. It would explain why Tetra's personality seemed to change when she was "awakened" as Zelda and why Spirit Tracks Zelda seems less "regal" than previous incarnations.

Can someone explain what happens when (sleeping) Zelda wakes up in Zelda II, politically speaking?
Does she reclaim her rightful throne from LoZ Zelda? Why would she let some random kinswoman (who already fucked up once, majorly) continue ruling now that she's back on her feet?
>>342637819
>All that does sound like something they would do, at the same time I want Zelda to still have a mortal form, how's she gonna reincarnate?
Maybe she has a holographic form.
Or they take a page from Zelda 2 and it turns out that she had some siblings who made it out alive from the calamity clusterfuck 100 years ago and they managed to pass on their lineage, which we'll see in BoTW. Maybe we come across a human Zelda, believing that its the Zelda who's been helping us from the very beginning, but it turns out she's an alias who's similar only in name and bloodline, and not the actual soul of the real Zelda/Hylia.
Or even weirder - what if the plot is some kind of Soma deal where BoTW's Ganon, Zelda and Link are just all tech-"ghosts" of the original trio that died some hundred years ago? Think Wind Waker's plot and theme surrounding the tired cycle of Zelda, Link and Ganondorf, and how the King and Ganondorf were fighting over Hyrule, which was essentially already a lost cause hundreds of years ago.
What if the same thing is happening here, but on a greater scale? The cycle between Link, Ganon and Zelda finally ended one hundred years ago, but some group (the Sheikah?) is attempting to preserve it through artificial means? The Ganon, Link and Zelda seen in BoTW aren't real, they're just AI fulfilling a similar function, and that the only force that managed to out-win this cycle was nature itself through the passing and changes of time, hence the theme of the game and the name of the title?
