29 Mysterious Ruins in Hyrule! (Tears of The Kingdom) 

Yea sadly, totk really screwed up a lot of good opportunities 😕

the skyview towers literally have sheikah tech in them, its pretty obvious that the sheikah tech (guardians, towers, possibly the divine beasts) was broken down and reconstructed to make the skyview towers. plus, after the Calamity, it makes sense to get rid of the stuff was was shown to be vulnerable to Ganon's influence

@@juiced_juicebox makes no sense if you think about it for more than 5 seconds. Some guardians were littered in very inaccessible and remote locations. Also doesn’t explain where the shrines, towers and shrine of resurrection completely disappeared without a trace. Let’s call it what it is, lazy world building on the part of ToTK’s devs.

North Gerudo Ruins could have been a village

Hmm

the zonai could have had a settlement outside the current map and that would explain the gleoke stage in the sky

that makes a lot of sense considering how open the central palace is and while maybe gerudo society considers it normal to just be able to walk right into the throne room of your leader with no doors and no hallways leading up to it, it does seem to be a bit close for lack of a better term

Like the Lurelin Village quest but on a wider scale?

@@dimsufferer9951 - yea… maybe there’s ten or so villages across the map, and hopefully each has something unique, and don’t just require fighting a bunch of bad guys.

It’s labeled now actually! They patched it in one of the newer updates

I feel like the main game play of that next game could be either defending hyrule from invaders, or getting to travel past the desert, great waters, or canyons to get to new land

There's always Age of Calamity? Idk

@@dewmilk7266 That one at least gave us the Great Plateau to explore.

@@EliteAgent51 I’ve never played it I’m just assuming

Does that include the CD-I games?

@@javiervasquez625Have you seen the memes? Immaculate works of shitpost art.

when I first played, it was botw. I didn't know anything. after fighting monsters for a few hours I came upon a stable and thought it was the most amazing thing ever. I felt safe there. I slept in the inn, made and ate some food, talked with the locals, and did some side quests

there’s definitely a lot of hidden lore in the castle library but it would be sick if there was an old zonai ruin that hasn’t been found with all the history

Losses of structures like that multiple times over the eons would likely play a large part in historical accounts degrading / fading away to be replaced with distorted legends and unbelievable mythology if the people lose access to their written records and get left with just the oral traditions to keep track of their heritage. Like having a big game of telephone going on for however many tens of thousands of years and not having an written copy left to compare to what the story turned into. The concept the devs mentioned (or strongly hinted at) somewhere around BotW's release is that so much time has passed on all three timeline branches that each timeline has sooner or later experienced their own events with coincidental similarities to what we players know as the events depicted on the other timelines (like there would be a flood event on all three, an encounter with people from the Twilight Realm on all three, an encounter with a version of Lorule on all three, etc. even if the timings of such events are many thousands of years out of sync with each other) and so they every branch inevitably ends up with its own variation of BotW that's practically indistinguishable from the versions of it on the other branches. Things get so jumbled up in myth that the fact that some story is said to have happened at some unknown point in time is more relevant than the exact timing of how long ago the real story behind that myth actually happened. If the current year is 100,000 how much difference does it make in the present day whether a Twilight incursion of some sort happened in year 15,000 or year 25,000 or year 35,000? (Whatever the years would be. Just spitballing baseless guesses here.) How many times could a new iteration of the kingdom have been founded and destroyed in so many years? Within TotK we've got stone tablets uncovered thanks to this game's Upheaval event that are teaching researchers things about this current kingdom's own relatively "recent" history some 20k+ years earlier... 20k+, right? Obviously BotW's 100-years-ago was expected to be a repetition of a Calamity prevention that had already occurred 10k years earlier. But then hadn't that 10k-years-ago event also been 10k years in the making? Not sure if I'm remembering that correctly. And then the actual founding of the current kingdom by Rauru and Sonia was an unspecified amount of time before THAT.) Researchers learn things from these tablets that had not survived in any other records. Plus, the murals at the beginning of TotK were giving Zelda clearer insights into the Imprisoning War than anything that she had studied in historical texts while she was growing up in the palace. That suggests that the palace's own library lacked reliable information about that era. An event that close to the current kingdom's founding was shrouded in mystery.

@@MuljoStpho where thing is that BOTW and TOTK takes place in the converge timeline where the 3 timelines converge together as one so events in one timeline will be felt threw out the remaining 2 timelines and vice versa . The forgotten Temple was to commerate the multiple heros threw out Hyrule history despite being Hylia's/Sealed temple in Skyward Sword. also in BOTW and TOTK there were 2 Kingdoms of Hyrule you had the Original Kingdom of Hyrule that was founded on the great platue which was founded between the events of Skyward Sword and Minish Cap and very same Kingdom in OOT, TP, WW and link to the past and then you had the Current Kingdom which was founded by Rauru and Sonia and also most people that lives beneath the great platue dont even reckonize the Temple of Time and its importance it once played.

Dude I still gotta write 600 words for mine and it's due 15:30 tomorrow

The grind is real

600 words ain't nothin... just pretend you're writing a Zelda theory comment.

@@prettyoriginalnameprettyor7506 If I were you, I would learn to not be a procrastinator right now, as it will save you a whole world of trouble in the real world.

@@prettyoriginalnameprettyor7506 couldm’t say 3:30 took my FIVE seconds to figure the time out

I love to have them on while I crochet! 🧶 😊

I can tell based off your username

I like to play the wild games and visit the places mentioned while I hear about them adds an extra layer to it

The game storyline makes it clear they were already long gone even before Rauru, Sonia, and Mineru founded the kingdom. Exactly what happened is never well explained.

Thanks!

Hope you enjoyed it!

Hellooooooooo

You should!!!!

Glad you like them!

Glad you enjoy it!

LIIIIIIIIIRE

@@thomazplays9305 Nuh uh

More to come!

Nah, it's not anywhere near that old. Genetic drift would be a huge effect on timescales like that, and species like the Rito and Zora aren't any different from "ancient" times. The 10,000 year figure that's often quoted is likely an artifact from the source translation, since in Japan "10,000 years" isn't a literal figure but often a way of indicating a vague, large amount of time, similar to "ages" or "eons ago."

Enjoy!

Thanks a lot! :D

Good luck! :D

I am proud of myself

I did not mean to say hate

It was already separated before Zelda going back to the past. It's hinted it was Farosh who split the mountain in BotW.

@@Mari_Izu I thought it was whole in the background of the past cutscenes, no?

💜

yes
