You missed a small part. Near the damn there’s a grave. With a bear by it . Expanding a little bit on what happened. After Henry and Sam passed away. And how Joel was able to get past Sarah. And how he tries, to teach Elie. The same thing.
*"People have asked me, why would Joel do that when he could have saved the world, and my answer to them is always this - he did, he did save the world. It’s just that the world was that girl, and that’s it.”* - Troy Baker (Joel)
Being overweight and having my nose broken twice in my life plus horrible year round allergies i relate to hog so much, i need to know more about his history
I'm ready for HBO's TLOU Season 2. I'm curious how the casual TV audience will take Joel's ending...hopefully not as bad as these "goof" gamers...kids I get, but I have never seen so many grown men in particular, whine so much. 💯
I'm getting back into gaming & I started with one of my story rich childhood favs--tomb raider. after a week of playthrough someone told me about fallout new vegas. as a mad max & terminator lover I had to get it immediately. I'm at level 14 & it's a clear timeless classic for me. even reminds me of the dr. brain pc games from when we had dial up internet😂😂😂 great video!
This is all fun, but the truth is that Nintendo made up this shallow lore at the last minute to facilitate the game mechanics, similar to how they drastically changed the Sheikah lore to facilitate the Shrines and game mechanics in Botw. In Botw, "Zonai" was just the name of that particular set of ruins - like "Thyphlo" and the others. Does that mean that each set of ruins had a race of people to serve as the namesake? Nope. Nintendo implied that it was just ancient warlike Hylians that built these ruins, but fans for some reason started to theorize about "the Zonai people" - seriously, can anyone pinpoint where and why that started? The truth is that Nintendo picked up what fans were speculating and ran with it - but they didn't run very far lol TP introduced the idea of a race of people close to the gods that lived in the sky; well, that'd be Hylians as OoT told us that _Hylians_ were close to the gods and had pointy ears to better hear the voice of the gods. TP introduced the Oocca, but heavily implied that it wasn't really them that created the city in the sky but had just found it (the owl statues and Hylian architecture Aang connection with the Sheikah are hints). Then, SS told us diffinitively that The Goddess Hylia created the city in the sky and the sky islands and her chosen people the Hylians to rule it. These later descended to the earth and built the kingdom of Hyrule. Botw and especially Totk are just anthology games that feature names and likenesses from every other game just because; they can't fit within any of the timelines, and Nintendo knew this so they arbitrarily set them "10,000 years after every timeline". They're filled with plot holes.
You have to remember that the interview with the Zelda producers said that Hyrule Kingdom was potentially destroyed before and Rauru and Sonia’s “founding” was basically a second iteration/rebirth of the kingdom itself.
I think it just makes more sense to put these games in their own universes with sequels placed where they naturally fit. Plus if Zelda is breaking up timelines again then it just lends this theory even further. It also allows games like Skyward Sword to fit in multiple timelines such as before Ocarina of Time, being a timeline where the Zonai never visited and Hyrule is founded by Hylians only and advances more slowly but the tangent where the Zonai do visit leads to BOTW and TOTK with a bigger and more developed Hyrule with Zonai tech and the Sheikah who basically inherit the mechanical knowledge of their predecessors just to a lesser degree. This explains how both timelines have the Master Sword. But then you have the Four Sword games which includes Minish Cap having no mention of the Master Sword, one of the keys leading to Demise's defeat and Hyrule's founding. Instead making the Piccori Blade/ Four Sword the legendary blade to repel evil with it's own backstory of the kingdom's founding being tied to a different foreign tribe.
Personally I think the Zonai were descendants of people who chose to stay behind in Skyloft and simply continued to evolve as they got closer and closer to the gods. Hyrule probably eventually fell as all empires do and the inhabitants became primitive. It was at that point that the Zonai came down to Hyrule and eventually founded a new kingdom thinking it was the first kingdom when unknown to them there was already a previous kingdom that had simply become forgotten.
