@Rev_ADB This also implies that the zonai existed before Hyrule itself and were part of hyrules history from the start when uh, no, they aren’t lol, those zonai ruins in Hyrule just popped up with botw and totk
If you don’t know when Hyrule was founded and how long after Skyward Sword, how can you saying the Zonai’s addition to it was lazy?
The little we KNEW for sure about the founding prior to TotK was upheld in TotK:
A descendant of SkSw Zelda
And a godlike race from the sky.
@Rev_ADB We literally don’t know when the original Hyrule was founded we just know it was after skyward sword and that the zonai were lazily forced into the founding
Nobody ever said they were the founders
The simple fact is, a random species showing up comparable to gods that apparently started Hyrule is bad writing. It should’ve been the descendants of the people of skyloft. The zonai have no place in old Zelda lore
What do you mean “the original OG Hyrule after Skyward Sword”?
Do you mean long after (like, 2 eras later)?
Or immediately after SkSw?
Just want to make sure this isn’t some “SkSw Link and Zelda were the first founders”. That headcanon has been debunked for 15 years.
@itsJoshualive Ok but it literally simply doesn’t make any sense. Like, at all. Literally zero. It’s like if they said Gerudo was part Zora. Nintendo may say that so it’s canon but it makes no sense so im not going to treat it as canon until they find a way to make it make sense
I don’t think people realize that the reason everyone was saying it was a refounding is because Rauru founding the original og Hyrule after skyward sword completely butchers the timeline and is a completely dogshit writing decision on literally all fronts that could be disproved
It was a bad writing decision that could be easily debunked and now Nintendo is doubling down on the bad writing decision and making it obvious
Still bad writing LOL
You do realise Link and Malon are far more likely to be siblings, right? We're never told Zelda's mother was dead or absent before the throne was usurped. Malon's mother COMPOSED Epona's Song, but we don't know if she taught it to her personally. She's absent, possibly dead. And whose mother DIED during a war? Link's. She might even have fled while pregnant.
Malon could easily be Link's older sister. Same eye shape, upturned noses... Granted, she's a minor NPC, so naturally her character model is less detailed, but still 🫠
The remake even emphasises the visual differences between Link and Zelda, seemingly killing off the theory that THEY were siblings. Show me these three without context, and I'd assume Link and Malon were related, not Link and Zelda.
Bombshell dropped. Bye 💣
(I feel like I've just played an UNO Reverse Card.)
