I have two possible theories on how Breath Of The Wild and Tears Of The Kingdom fit with the rest of the Zelda timeline: Theory 1: Hyrule was founded twice. Either TOTK and BOTW happened first and then something went very wrong and the surviving hylians moved to the sky before eventually Skyward Sword happened and the rest of the timelines followed, or the other games happened first and then something happened in one of the timelines that wiped out enough of Hyrule for it to no longer be considered a kingdom, and then it was re-founded by Rauru and Sonia before BOTW and TOTK happened Theory 2: Breath Of The Wild and Tears Of The Kingdom are in a separate timeline from all the other games, but BOTW/TOTK Zelda, as the sage of time, can see and possibly even visit other timelines. And maybe on a few of these visits, some things crossed over, bringing with them the evidence of other timelines. Maybe the koroks came from the Wind Waker timeline (maybe they brought a seed from the great deku tree, or even just outright cloned it by planting one of its branches), and maybe the blupees were once the minish/picori from the Four Swords timeline (which would explain why they drop rupees when you hit them), and maybe Wolf Link from the Twilight Princess timeline crossed over as well (which could be represented by the fact that we can summon him with amiibo in BOTW) Both options are extremely convoluted, and I don’t know how well either of them would hold up against actual scrutiny (I’m not even sure which one I think is more believable), but they make about as much sense as anything else Nintendo has done recently
When I saw 97 was baby park and I said yes baby park is where it belongs, but why 97 aren’t there 96. One hour later. Number one is baby park. I was like what, this guy but baby park twice that is criminal.
Thanks for a great video explaining this, I'm really grateful, because now I love it as proof of concept for why adding extra complexity and depth into video games, almost similar to real life, can be good, and why it can be worth for computers to get more stronger - if not for graphics, then for other mechanics
"History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes" I think TOTK since it is placed 10,000+ years later, is simply a re-founding of Hyrule after it was destroyed at one point by Ganon, thousands of years after the other games, and this time it involved the Zonai, a new race which helped the Hylians re-establish their kingdom. Nothing in the old games or timeline was retconned, but they are long gone and past into myth and this founding is a new one thousands of years later.
I like Depresso. Kilimari and Keen-key and Dazzee and Mirith and Flambella, too! And Reindrix and Petallia and Lyleen are nifty, and Warsect and Felbat and Blizmeat and Astagon and Menasting and Tsuzaku and Glarice and Nekomus and even Paldiace look badass. Not trying to throw shade by being like, “bluh bluh bluh, I _like_ these pals so you’re _wrong_,” I just like seeing all them for the first time
tbh i don't care if they plagiarize designs i just wish they plagiarized a more varied range of pokemon, i'm disappointed at how many of them were just eevee clones... i would have loved to see a bootleg cradily
actually, none of the games are canon, all of them take place inside zelda cdi link's dream, and that dream is then retconed into being a dream by mario in that one game where he sleeps which i forgot.
The problem with these videos is that people see what they want to see. You start with pokemon vs palworld? ...well, you see only pokemons. The creative process, for those who know it, requires to take inspiration ALL AROUND. And since Poketpair is, as Nintendo, a Japanese producer, do you have ANY IDEA of how many demons, gods and such exists in eastern folklore? I stopped watching at 10:39 but I would guess that he say that Dazzi is inspired by the 4 elemental pokemons (those with the clouds beneath them). If not, well, I will be impressed. "Bristla it's a rippoff of not one but 2 pokemons"...can't it be a cartooney version of a Dryad? Also...perhaps Mao looks like a classic Egyptian cat statue?
palworld has plushiiiies! but all the most accurately shaped 1s are made of wool... www.google.com/search?sca_esv=90afbf837c9a3b19&sxsrf=ACQVn09x1gbgZm23JFCjLFgfk-sjVRmzaw:1713045075194&q=depresso+plush&uds=AMwkrPsoJHwwgKqmOkxiHRVKUGpSHo9gLm1-1_BFWU2PsjipKjxlZMcGpA6oaQZ-wYVoOAIKW8f70TqRcH6DwbKeaFy-nzidx4ShSqCmNdZF-2qxUn4QgNw2M5UUdLQd4klUqcHlTAB5SIehGo2ki_h_ftXKhAp7olR8zO6jfbzYTIz2ymbzQlJLRHEeZt_SwnKunxqQF678T55HDOaVHf69hYNF5LFIk7VN496i7paSrDxlUVnBQA85xbJ3sjl-ah8s0KaqtaF9YT7-cOfCm7jBSt2KBGA0t70lUeYA2FUPEDX5h1_i6RI&udm=2&prmd=isvnmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiatcOZlsCFAxVOweYEHZyPDvYQtKgLegQIEhAB&biw=1920&bih=945&dpr=1
Brilliant video. Very funny and informative in equal measure. I hadn’t come across most of the Miyamoto and Anouma quotes before. You’ve got to wonder if they’re legitimately trolling us at this point!
People only wanna talk about what palworld took from pokemon what about what they did better and if palworld realy is a ripoff its the best pokemon game
I still think to this day that timeline is a dumb idea executed even more terribly, it limits what they can do with storytelling a lot because of how complicated it is. And turns away casual fans of the series, it also just makes making new games for the timeline even more annoying (for them) because they will have to check how EACH game fits into the timeline at what point in what branch after or before what game before even DESIGNING the game. They really should have scraped it and made so that only certain games are connected , if they did that people would complain less about the lore retcons in TOTK.
foxcicle is literally just glaceon but a fox and serphent is typhlosion;s face also cattrix has mismagius hat and colors glaris is the same body as corviknight
I was agreeing and disagreeing with what tier a few of these belong but then you put a COW in "Lawsuit Tier" BRO YOU CAN"T COPYRIGHT A COW ESPECIALLY ANIMALS THAT ARE IN THE WILD xD you lost all credit with that logic
At 29:54 Wumpo is very similar to a scrapped design pokemon design called “Wolfman” that evolves into “Warwolf”. Wolf like outer appearance with little eyes in darkness with claws. I don’t even know what this can land in, what are the rules of copying scrapped designs?
