Also, what's the thing crawling around death mountain in pic related?
What if it takes place in an entirely new timeline?
If there is one fucking thing I would love for them to homage is making link have to get to Hyrule castle from the roof outside. Make him have to climb and bit and defeat some monsters on his way to the roof.Also make him walk along very thin places with Darknut Archer's being assholes
After everything we've see, what's the worst way they could screw it up?
>>341544714
Either a boss or Bigggoron.
I hope it's a boss. I want to go Dragon's Dogma or Shadw of the Colossus on that shit.
>>341544714
What if it's a giant Goron rolling around death mountain?
I wonder if we'll get a spoopy ambient dungeon with upgraded ReDeads.
>>341544847
here, have that in higher quality senpai
This enemy is the thing that I missed the most from the final release of TP
>>341544714
Could be that giant Stalfos-like enemy we saw in the reveal trailer, but it seems way too huge even for that. Plus, it looks like it's scuttling around the mountain, with a low profile. Maybe Gohma's a huge bitch this time around?
Reminder that this is the game that makes Hyrule Warriors cannon
Can we meme magik a eshop demo? Can we twitter bomb nintendo? I reall really want to play this
>>341544940
Combat is piss-easy all the way through.
Side quests are more fetch-quests/collectathon shit.
Lore and plot is Skyward Sword levels of bad.
>>341545065
Thanks.
Anyone else hope this bitch comes back? She was awesome in SS.
>>341545028
>upgraded ReDeads
I'd sooner fucking die than set foot in a dungeon like that
>>341544485
Reminder that this game takes place after Wind Waker. It even has the exact same Koroks that were in Wind Waker. Considering the Koroks are ageless, it makes since that they would be here no matter how much time passed.
>>341545262
You can cause a lotta destruction with that
I'm ready
>>341545125
This. It's definitely "scuttling" or "crawling" on death mountain, so that eliminates it from big a biggoron at least.
Gohma or some kind of gargantuan insect-like beast seems likely.
>>341545290
Game looks great. Here's hoping the NX version runs at 1080p.
>>341545262
>do that while not on elevated ground
>literally kill yourself
>>341545341
>koroks were last seen trying to remake forests throughout the great sea
hmmm,.
I have a theory that not only is the Old Man actually Ganondorf, but he's using you both to power up to fight his separated evil side because he's sick of this cycle shit, but also goading you into doing this via items and other shit to get you motivated to doing such for him without ever knowing until too late.
Odds are he even is the one who teaches you all the fancy sword/weapon techniques you can likely use throughout the game via muh Gerudo training and also prior fights with past Lunks, to mold you into a true hero for his own purposes.
Basically, what I'm saying is that in all true, Ganondorf the whole time wants payback for being a salty evil demon's bitch for countless centuries and ruining what he wanted all along, and he will use Lunk(aka you) into fucking the demon spirit's shit up so he can know peace at last. Basically, this is the story of how Ganondorf goes FUCK THIS SHIT and gets out of the cycle at last.
Someone give me some jackass link
>>341545490
Exactly. I think we know why Hyrule is no longer flooded.
>implying this isn't a timeline convergence set either initially set in the hero dies timeline or after twilight princess that will have every timeline crash in on each other
prepare for some space dandy shit
>>341545616
>>341544714
Didn't the last thread decide it was a guardian?
>>341545665
>That enormous spider thing on Death Mountain
>>341545573
I'm down with that.
and assuming that the Punished Link theory is true, it would provide a perfectly good reason for Link to side with Ganondorf, since he can relate to his issues.
Even better if the game is basically about the 3 cursed souls going against their initial fate by trying to stop the cycle and giving off a big "fuck you" to Demise and the goddesses.
>>341545490
>>341545573
I actually really like this theory.
I hated the reveal in SS where Ganondorf was just Demise's hatred. Ganondorf plotting to end Demise once and for all for giving him essentially a cursed existence sounds pretty badass actually.
This also gives credence to this being post-WW in that timeline.
>>341544485
the only thing I hope for is that there is a Yggdrasil
>>341545616
>>341545178
Supposedly some guy stole the demo and uploaded it somewhere, but people aren't sure.
No, he wasn't caught, that was a fake.
>>341544485
>>341545665
I wonder what that huge wall surrounding that area was? I guess it might have been the outer defenses of Castle Town or something, but it looks like it's circling the overlook that Link's on.
Goddamn, this is the sort of Souls-esque narrative-through-level-design I've been waiting for.
>>341546114
I really hope one of the areas far from the plateau is literally just a forest with trees the size of Death mountain
>watching the Day 2 video on youtube
>Audrey pesters Chico into removing Link's shirt immediately
The girl-boner cash Nintendo will be harvesting next year will be unreal
What would you guys rather have:
>tons of fucking huge Sotc style bosses
>final boss is just a 1v1 sword duel against Ganondorf
Or
>all the bosses are about the same size as they are in other Zelda games
>Final boss is tall than Death Mountain
>>341545616
>>341545983
>the unbridled destruction Link is capable of in this game
Holy shit, and we all joked that he was a menace when he was just smashing everyone's pottery.
>>341545853
SO HERE I A-
>>341546325
>"just" a 1v1 sword duel
Those are always the best final bosses.
>>341546325
the former
Having a final boss who's on your level tends to be more engaging for me
>>341546325
>>tons of fucking huge Sotc style bosses
>>final boss is just a 1v1 sword duel against Ganondorf
This, I want bosses the size of your moms pussy wadering around the overworld, as well as dungeon specific bosses.
The last fight honestly doesn't matter, as long as it's the most climatic thing ever it should be fine. I really liked TP's final boss, except a part in the middle that's all wolf link. The only thing, as with any other zelda game, is that it was too fucking easy.
>>341546325
1v1 sword duels are the best way to end a game, why are you saying it like a negative?
>>341545197
skyward sword's plot was pretty okay though
>>341546325
The former, especially with all the different combat mechanics the game is showing off.
>mfw when Ganon actually uses his trident for the first time in 3D
>>341546325
I want BOTH. I want to have an amazing sword duel with Ganondorf and for him to then transform into the hugest fucker in the game. Tons of different ways to climb him. Could make stairs with magnet, could make ice blocks, start fires for updrafts, straight up grabbing onto him and climb.
Finally ascend to his head and drive the Master Sword between his eyes once more.
>>341545975
>Ganondorf is fighting Calamity Ganon because he's tired of this shit and wants to know peace at last
>Lunk is fighting them as well because he feels for Ganondorf's situation and wished to give this Old Man once he learned the truth an end to his suffering via killing the thing that keeps this shit going endlessly
>yfw the final boss is actually Zelda going full-on Goddess Hylia as she tries to murder both Ganondorf and Lunk to replace them with a new Ganondorf and Lonk to continue the cycle
>yfw to finally end the cycle, two once opposite forces must team together to basically murder God
>>341546325
Former. But this time make it actually difficult unlike almost any other 3D Zelda final boss or boss fight period.
>>341546786
OH GOD. I need this now. If the theory that the Old Man is Ganondorf is true, I want him to teach you techniques if you find him in obscure places and he makes reference to being proficient with a trident in his youth.
>>341544714
>>341544941
it looks like a giant guardian if you watch closely in real time. Has the legs.
>>341545616
>there will be people who will pick up the axe and attack the old man not even 2mins into the game
>>341546914
>>yfw the final boss is actually Zelda going full-on Goddess Hylia as she tries to murder both Ganondorf and Lunk to replace them with a new Ganondorf and Lonk to continue the cycle
Why would she want to continue the cycle though? The cycle began in the first place because she wanted to kill Demise once and for all, but then Demise ended up cursing them both for generations with his future hatred. It wasn't really her fault things ended up that way.
>implying we won't have Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf against Calamity Ganon all together
>>341547050
Fuck yes.
>>341546325
Former by a long shot.
Feels epic throughout the game and then shit gets personal when the final boss is about your size and a decent sword-fighter to boot.
>>341544847
pretty rad
>>341544485
>What timeline does this take place in?
Failed hero. The map is similar to Zelda 2 (don't give me that "but the Korok's" shit. We don't know what happened to Kokiri in the hero failed timeline and the Skyward sword ChuChu's are walking around so shove it.)
>Is it the end of every timeline?
Either after Zelda 2 or before Zelda 1
>What's the meteor in pic related?
random event special items maybe. Don't know. gameplay element.
>Who is Gannon?
In failed hero ganon is dead after Zelda 1 and never to be resurrected after Zelda 2.
>What are the Sheikahs doing?
Making sick ass technology that can either revive the dead or cryogenicly put someone to sleep and wake them up later apparently.
>>341547141
Normal Guardians have 500 HP. I wonder how much HP a Colossal Guardian has? 1000? 5000?
>>341547207
>he pulls a Cucco from his robe and uses it to intercept the blow
>>341547449
No, it's Hyrule under a Lodran effect where all timelines are converging into something new entirely. Because koroks aren't the only elephant in the room when it comes to timeline displacement here.
>>341547207
inb4 he's able to one-shot you as well
>>341547315
Im glad this exists
>>341545231
I prefered her HW design, but yes. Having a Sheikah woman show up in any capacity in this game where the Sheikah are shown to be hyper advanced technosorcerers would be nice
>>341547207
don't mess with Zelda NPC's
>>341547602
>No, it's Hyrule under a Lodran effect where all timelines are converging into something new entirely.
LOTHRIC

>>341547975
Is this the first time he's been right handed without the motion control excuse?
>>341547975
>>341548160
The excuse is that you use the attack buttons with your right hand
I'm serious
>>341548020
It's Hyrule, the sheikh just left behind temples and artifacts and shit and hylians replaced them
I'm betting that now

>The voice commanding you isn't Zelda, it's a Sheikah (Impa?) guarding Zelda's stasis pod to prevent Ganon from discovering her
>>341548278
I don't see how this fits into the whole stupid robot business, but good catch on the omission of "courage" from the tally.
>>341548141
plot twist:
Young Link froze himself in time so that he could fuck Adult Malon
>>341548229
I'm still irrationally mad at this response.
Not at the fact that Link is right-handed, mind you. I'm perfectly fine with that.
But this reasoning is so fucking retarded.
>>341544915
Aonuma already said that's it's part of the official timeline.
Sounds like it takes place in one of the established timelines.
>>341548338
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YjQqLlSZq4
>>341547207That's what he meant when he said you can fight the final boss right away. But he probably dodges and tries to get you to settle down for quite a while first.

>>341547980
time was never fucked up though. space was. People couldn't out right die unless they fully hollowed or some shit.
Linking fires didn't loop in time or anything. there was just multiple realities that linked the flames
Jumping into other peoples games and hearing the bells ring and shit should have given that off.
>>341548391
Maybe Aonuma just pretended to be dumb and that the right handedness is actually foreshadowing something?hahahahahhahaa
>>341548374
There's a gif about this very sexual encounter.
>>341547805
>>341547959
>>341548083
Oh, this is new. We've never seen the Sheikah's homeland before. We've also never been told that they had a civilization, they've always been referred to as a tribe or clan. Could we finally learn about the event that drove the Sheikah to near extinction?
BotW Link is the same one from OoT who died in the defeated timeline
>>341548341
>they do that shit
>three of them standing in the ruins after the fight
>silent for a moment
>Ganondorf's triforce starts to glow
It's just never good enough for him
>>341547975
It shouldn't because chances are this isn't even a real Link in the first place.
>>341548553
>Jumping into other peoples games and hearing the bells ring and shit should have given that off.
Solaire literally tells you this
>>341548391
>Link has been left handed for over half the series
>Suddenly the button placement is a problem now
I'm so fucking mad.
>>341548532
hahahahaha what the fucks up with little midget link in each one, that shits hilarious
>>341548515
All it implies is that the Sheikah lacked the necessary courage to defend the land, which, if Link were the failed hero of that particular timeline, would make sense. He doesn't have to be a robot for the former to still hold true.
>>341548532

He's not, your misinterpreting his usage of the word just.
>>341548341
>>341546246
it's probably the last shield against the forces of Ganon.
Shielding the Temple of Time to prevent Ganon from reaching the sacred realm during the "age without the hero" before the great flood.
The amount of guardians around the Temple also points to them protecting the building. They were probably created by the Sheikah to defend against Ganon since there was no hero.
it would be so fucking awesome if the timelines somehow combine.
>>341548662
Didn't they have some digs set up in SS? I mean, Impa was alive and kicking when Zelda went to ground in that game. Didn't she imply at some point that there were more of her somewheres?
>>341548532
>mfw that old Ganondorf-looking man that's also with Link in every single timeline mural
GEE I FUCKING WONDER.
>>341545341
didn't phantom hourglass takes place literally just after wind waker?
also iirc link or zelda in spirit tracks are 100 years descendents from link and zelda in ph
i couldn't bring myself to finish spirit tracks so i don't know what happened after that
how likely is it that this 100 year nap link is right after st?

Bitch, that's so obviously Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule the Whatever-Number it's not even funny.
Remember the last time that somebody tried to reinvent the series with open world gameplay, and people spent months making fucking absurd fan theories about clones, time travel, and other convoluted bullshit?
They say those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it, please don't hurt yourselves guys.

>Rauru tanned so hard that he stopped looking like a tanned man and instead turned Gerudo black!

>yfw the old man from original zelda is the king of hyrule too
>>341546246
>Goddamn, this is the sort of Souls-esque narrative-through-level-design I've been waiting for.
Aonuma's confirmed this is the sort of narrative delivery they're going for, yeah.
I think it's safe to assume that the Sheikah, or whoever built the walls, wanted to protect the Shrine of Resurrection at all costs.
>>341549473
Screw you, normie! We're all a little mad down here!
>>341549517
Why would the king need Link to fetch him the spirit orbs from Sheikah guardians, who serve the royal line?
>>341549473
Well with 8 fucking years of development the game Willard least be finished.
Right?
It takes place in the official timeline because it IS the official timeline.
The whole thing.
When people refer to "The Legend of Zelda", the legend spawned off of this series of events, right here.
The story of every other game in the series is a retelling, iteration, embellishment, tall tale, or a misremembering of this story.
>>341549315
The first zelda was also a rural land with no cities and runes everywhere.
They commented on the fact NPCs exist is BotW but you would have to find them stretched through out the game.
The NPCs in 1 were all hidden in caves and secret areas.
This game might just sneakingly be a LoZ1 Remake.

So, did no one else notice that as soon as Link leaves the Chamber of Rezing that he gets an old shirt and pants that don't quite fit him?
He went in as a kid and came out older.
>>341549115
unlikely because that game takes place in New Hyrule, a distant, separate continent, and this game almost assuredly takes place in the same Hyrule as OoT.

If every game is just "retelling the same story" then how is OoT followed immediately by MM? Or WW by PH? Or PH by ST?
>>341545983

>>341549905
Because Zelda hasn't even tried to make a convoluted storyline outside direct sequels like LttP>LA and OoT>MM until Aonuma took the OoT dicksucking too far.
>>341549947
Second Halves.
>>341549027
Impa mentions her tribe in Skyward Sword, so it looks the Sheikah were still fine at that point. At some point between Skyward Sword and Ocarina of Time almost every single Sheikah died off. Oh yeah, and Kakariko Village was apparently made by the Sheikah as well, so we'll probably see that in this game.
http://www.youdubber.com/index.php?video=BaczqkPGmmM&video_start=17&audio=cLoytewvn0g&audio_start=0
>>341549819
Why OoT? The map is shaped like Zelda 2.
>>341549473
I'm not too worried since the MGSV's gameplay was fine, it's biggest fault was it's story
and given the lack of a good story in Zelda i'm set.
>>341549115
You play as Gannon
The old man is old vaati who revived ganon and is guiding him on his adventure to get stronger
Guardians were made by the sheikah to protect themselves from Gannon and power on when they detect his presence
>>341550236
Because the OoT Temple of Time is right next to where you start.
>>341549947
>And then Link shoved his sword in Ganon's forehead, and he turned to stone!
>Wow! What happened next?!
>Uh...trains!
>>341550390
bill's a great guy.
>>341544485
Theme of new Zelda is about breaking conventions. I believe the game placed in the ganon is victorious timeline after wind waker but at the same time I don't think it adheres to the constrains of a "timeline" nor do I believe it has a liberty to.
>>341549994
No. You can have LORE.
>>341546625
lel souls faggot go home
the giant bossfight meme is fucking old and dead
>>341550390
>link is now an "idiot" white boy doing crazy dangerous shit for a thrill
....This makes too much sense.
I feel like the theory that it is where the timelines converge or that it's not in any specific timeline is correct, each timeline follows s pretty specific aesthetic and the new game doesn't fit any of them, in fact from the trailers it seems to take from each.
>>341550445
Ganon didn't turn to stone, he was encased in it
Notice how the stone goes out from his body
>>341550668
That's pretty terrifying. Why does the only empathetic Ganon get it so bad.
>>341550464
>>341550342
You never get the master sword in Zelda 1 and 2. and the trailer showed that the master sword does not rest in the temple of time but a forest much like link to the past.
This could be after or before LttP.
That and the Zelda 2 world map wasn't the least bit defined so there very well could have been the temple of time somewhere in that mess.
>>341544485
GameXplain said that the guides told them that Ganon's new form is called Calamity Ganon and that he's actually the black mist.
I never heard this on any of the streams, though. Can anyone confirm this?
never played skyward sword but i think that you can see skyloft in some of the gameplay videos
>>341550668
That's a modelling trick they did to ensure a proper transition. It would've been really tricky to have the texture on Ganondorf's model shift to stone like that, so they made a new stone-version model of him, scaled it just big enough, and had it draw over him with its own animation.
>>341550786
Where are my damn tutorials???
...wait did he just kick that chest and reel in pain?
>>341550969
apparently it is a flying ship of some kind.
also play SS it has the best story.
>>341550786
>doesn't turn around holding the item up high
dropped
>>341550924
Zelda 1, 2 and LttP all take place in the same Hyrule as OoT. I was specifically explaining why it's unlikely this is a followup to ST in an direct way.
>>341550969
Nope. It's some kind of airship. We've already discussed this.
>>341550958
This game is massively underrated.
I really liked the characters and the story. They were amazing. Oh, also, the artstyle.
>>341551079

i don't know, but you can tell it has small flying "islands" floating around it
>>341551079
>also play SS it has the best story.
I hate to start gamewar shit but lol no.
>>341551031
oh shit, he does. He lifts his foot up in pain and starts hopping.
>>341551031
>recoils in pain after he kicks a chest to open it with no shoes on
TECH
NOLOGY
>>341550994
If thats true, why did they make it stick out so far? It couldn't have been that hard to make it smaller. Im 100% convinced that Ganon is still alive after Wind Waker.
>>341551090
but insteads Recoils in pain because he kicked a chest with no shoes on.
>>341549473
Nah I'm having fun with all the theory bantz honestly.
And before that, I was hoping that this Link would be raised by Gerudo and stuff. You know, the all the fun theories we had before this E3 reveal. But I aint even mad. What we're getting now is so much better.
>>341551187
really? I didn't notice that.
>>341551195
;)
>>341549027
The Shiekah might have set up the time crystal mines in what's the desert in SS's present.
Someone here suggested they might have made the Ocarina of Time with those crystals.
>>341548869
Sick
>>341550924
the "Forest" you get the Master sword in LTTP is where the Temple of Time was, you can even see its progression to ruin in Twilight.
its the same platform from OoT to TWilight to LTTP.
thats all thats left by LTTP
>>341551281
Even if he did get incased in stone
He got a piece of sharp steel lodged very firmly in his brain.
So.
>>341551104
All Zelda games do. They are just washed over by water or covered over by darkness because of how the events of OoT went down. only one that doesn't is spirit tracks because hyrule moved house.
>>341550958
Yeah, it was on a stream that twitch itself was doing. They were playing a bunch of games that were at E3. One of the games they were playing was Breath of the Wild and they accidentally stumbled into a cutscene that confirmed that.
>>341551079
>>341551114
>>341551187
I remember there was a part of the stream where shadows went overhead and Chiko said that a huge cloud must a gone overhead. The guy next to her then said "Or maybe it was a zeppelin", and then very quickly stammered "Haha, there are no zeppelins in this game. Just kidding."
>>341551281
To guard against clipping. It'd kinda ruin the moment if part of his cloak got caught by the wind physics and phased through the rock before they could remove his model from the scene.
>>341551031
Where's the webm? Why was it deleted?
I wanna see.
>>341551031
>post deleted
fuck
>>341551510
Yes. We agree.
>>341551163
>Skyward Sword
>underrated
The game is mostly hated on 4chan but go anywhere else and people love it.That said, it's trash and it doesn't deserve any more praise than people around here give it.
>>341551417
i think it was in one of the e3 treehouse comfy threads, some anon posted a picture asking what it was and it had these boulder like things floating around it, it was all in the distance and everything was like a shadow so you couldn't see anything but the silhouette
>>341548620
Need.
>>341551519
from the start they wanted to make it a spoiler free stream, and when she said a zeppelin the dude with her tried to cover up her mistake.

The Sword is still on some pedestal in a forest in BotW if the trailer has anything to show for it. But the temple of time is right next to you in BotW when you start the demo so it ain't there in the temple.
This does not mean the temple of time is where the sword lies anymore. For all we know the temple of time was converted into that church in LttP above the castle.
Speaking of, does anyone here have the webm of the flying thing?
>>341551812
Why was this deleted?
>>341551874
bitch, that ain't the Temple of time
its just a temple.
the Temple of time is segemented into to spots, one with the god damn pedestal for the Sword, which isn't there.
>>341551958
probably because it was made too short
>>341551891
>>341551812
>you writhe in pain when you kick a chest with no pants on
>you reach for your back when you try to attack with no weapon
The attention to detail in this game is astounding.
So, whilst we're speculating, with the "twelve times bigger than Twilight Princess's map" thing going around for this game's map, I did some calculations for math size. If all math checks out, the total size of BotW's map will be approx. 114,660 km^2 in size, or about 71,246.4 mi^2 in Burger terms.
What does that mean for the game? Basically, it means that it actually is approx. 1.14 times larger than the size of all of The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall's map (which is a immense 62,394 mi^2) in comparison. In other words, expect to spend a fugton of time exploring this world whilst we discover and search for lore in the game itself.

I deleted it because the video ended when the animation barely started, here is the complete animation
>>341551989
Actually when you go near.in it it's plays the temple of time theme.
>>341551163
Everyone loves SS characters and story, and has loved them since the game dropped
It's the gameplay we don't like
>>341552057
Yeah, it's an airship. There's nothing floating around it; those look like giant-ass propellers connected to the main body by struts.
>>341548727
WHO'S LAUGHING NOW
>>341552142
then where's the god damn woods? the fucking anything from Twlight Princess?
are we in the Shit timeline then?
>>341552057
>>341552246
what if the flying thing is the remains of skyloft converted into a Giant flying airship thing
>>341552073
>you reach for your back when you try to attack with no weapon
Haven't seen this yet. Got a webm/linki?
>>341552057
anyone else see it rotating? def an airship
>>341552057
It looks like some kind of ship with a landmass and buildings on top of it.
Either way, it's moving. Kind of makes me wonder if there are a bunch of moving ship-fortresses like this dotted across the landscape.
>>341552339
Then you'll have to provide evidence to substantiate that argument. Evidence is everything, you see.
>>341552057
>>muffled ayyyyy in the distance
>>341552076
>114,660 km^2 in size, or about 71,246.4 mi^2 in Burger terms.
Yeah, I REALLY don't see that happening.
That said, the map is FUCKING HUGE either way, so we'll see, I guess.
>>341552057
I knew the god damn Aliens would be back from MM.

Do you think Todd Howard is now eternally booty blasted that a single game did everything he promised ages ago yet never could in a single E3 showcase?
>>341552246
>giant ass propellers
what if they're boulders that have been connected to skyloft via bridges?
>>341544485
I think this game depicts the legend told in the opening cutscene of The Wind Waker. Except in the legend the people waited for the hero and he never came, but this is a new timeline branch where the hero does return and the world doesn't need to be flooded.
>hero suddenly vanishes (put into that stasis pod)
>Ganon takes over in the form of a large dark cloud
>prophesy foretells that the same hero from ages ago will return
>the ancient technology looks almost identical to the ancient technology the Tower of the Gods boss is made of
It all adds up.
>>341552352
see here
>>341550390
>>341552586
it has to be humilating.
it doesn't even play like a "sandbox" game with how everything is rigged, it plays like Zelda.
this shit is spooky, its infinitely better than anything Todd ever pumped out in their first try.
>>341552119
Is this it? Have we finally entered an age where Nintendo discovered TECHNOLOGY?
>>341546325
>Ganondorf
>dorf
>>341550390
>that reaction to the explosion
TECHNOLOGY
GUYS WE ARE FORGETTING SOMETHING
WHAT/WHERES THE MUSICAL ELEMENT
I'ma do my best here and summarize what we can know for sure here.
>Set in the WW timeline
>Koroks are present in the game
>Ganon, not Ganondorf, is the villain,
>There are over a hundred challenge shrines dotted around the landscape, all dedicated to certain magic men
>These shrines are all pretty complex for being underground
>Which means that some people built them
>Old man talks about Sheikah being in these lands
Speculation:
>The old men in the shrines are Sheikah
>The old man is a gerudo male, which implies Ganondorf
>Ganondorf might have lost control of his Ganon form and split from it, trying to find a hero to defeat it.
>Ganondorf might have activated the shrine to wake up Link, since he can be found right outside the entrance to it and had a freshly baked apple waiting for him
This is pure speculation, of course.
>>341551620
But I was trying to narrow it down to a timeline not the general concusses of "it's in hyrule guys."
Most shit about the game points to Failed hero timeline. Due to the Map. The Swords location and the General theme of the game.
What doesn't make sense is Skyward Sword Chuchu's and Windwaker Koroks.
we haven't seen a Zora or a goron yet but then again we have never seen a Goron in the failed Hero timeline and the Zora are more fish like in appearence
>>341552057
Nice ship
>>341552057
Maybe it's a floating town since the ground is dangerous as fuck
>>341552728
Wind Waker had tons
>>341552650
I immediately thought of this when I saw Calamity Ganon, but that story makes a big point about the fact that the hero never turned up. I have no idea how it would work out.
>>341552057
>YFW its the beetle ship which is now a mall of nothing but beetles
>>341552848
We must purge Hyrule of the Bokoblins
>>341550162
There's also a darker side to the Sheikah. After all, there's some seriously fucked up nonsense going on under Kakariko village, a village lead by the only known Sheikah in the world at the time, and the ancestral resting place of the royal family, whom it's said the Sheikah serve. You also find the Lense of Truth down in that shitpit.
Then there's the possible Sheikah connection to Majora's Mask, which has the same eye imagery as the Mask of Truth. This eye imagery is also present on the Fused Shadow in Twilight Princess, so it starts to come together that the Sheikah were always creators of powerful, and dangerous, magical artefacts.
Impa is SS was dispatched as an agent to prevent Zelda's capture by Ghirahim, a duty that forces her to remain on guard for 1000 years. All "It's magic I don't have to explain shit" hand-waves aside, that's crazy fucking bonkers so Impa must have had some serious magic going on to stay alive.
Overall, I'm really looking forward to the significance of the Sheikah in BotW. It may finally be the game that sheds some light on the capabilities of this tribe of unimaginably powerful magic users.
>Reminder this is more or less a "basic" item you find in the wild and not in a dungeon.
So what will dungeon weapons be like?
>>341552929
That's what I mean when I say it creates a new branching path in the timeline. The Hero never showed up in the Wind Waker branch, so they'd obviously tell that version.
>>341546325
final boss have already been confirmed to be giant clous monster that threatens to destroy the living world
>>341552839
So is this the whole game world or is there more beyond the mountains?
