4 Small Breath of the Wild Theories (Legend of Zelda) 

Thanks for watching! And thanks to Monster Maze for joining me! Be sure to check out his video too!

When you were talking about what makes Bokoblins normal, don't forget their awesome beach barbecue parties.

The real theory I need is why Koroks can exist on Death Mountain without bursting into flame

Been playing for 3 years and just found out Lynels could teleport, wow

Lynels are so cheap when they hit you with the arrows from above. I think they’re using cheats

Sigh, this makes me feel even more guilty killing Bokoblins... They're probably my favorite enemies in Breath of the Wild because they react so adorably when you have the mask one. Snorting and laughing as they accept you as one of their own.

The gold enemies electric resistance has to do more so with how long they are stunned by shock arrows, not the damage they take

The theory about the guts twitching is cool but in real life recently severed limbs or killed organisms can still twitch and convulse for over an hour after death. It was probably something one of the designers added in as a way to make the player feel creeped out at the same time as drawing attention to the item in the same way that other items sparkle or shine.

All I learned today is that Link has an incredible immune system.

So when Link has a potion made of monster guts he's also drinking malice o_o that can't be good for his digestion.

"By removing the head or destroying the brain." Sneaky Shawn of the Dead reference. Love it.

It was an absolute honor joining you in this great video sir! Thanks so much for having me. Cheers! PS: That last theory was DARK. Love it!

I like the last theory!

“How many seconds in an eternity...the shepherds boy says...” *”When Hyrule Warriors finally is released, the FIRST SECOND OF ETERNITY WILL HAVE PASSED”*

"...you don't feel bad for ripping off their limbs." I blame the Calamity, again.

Zeltik: This leads to a harrowing realization- Me, who hasn’t been paying the closest attention: drinking elixirs means you are consuming Ganon’s malice Zeltik: what if the reason the monsters’ guts continue to pulse after the death of the creature is because they haven’t died? Me: nope, that’s worse

This probably doesnt matter, but i was going to say that lynels will activily avoid lightning, so maybe that means if they got hit, they turn into gold ones

You guys showed the clp of young Purah, and everytime I see that clip I must ask: HOW DID THE MAKE PURAH EVEN CUTER??? That level of adorable shouldn't be possible!

Am I the only one seeing malice as pink instead of red, crimson, purple or any other color theorists use to describe it?

Imagine the Stal-enemies being the monsters whose guts you used for elixirs, so they can't be fully resurrected. ...now that made me realize there's no Stal-Lynel. ...imagine that!

With the final theory about the monster remains and continuous death and rebirth...it reminds me of the Legend of Zelda cartoon. Every time one of Ganon's monsters is "zapped," it returns to the Evil Jar in a kind of...unlife. The creature is trapped there until Ganon either eliminates them or resurrects them from the Jar. It was a neat idea, and I'm glad that BOTW used a similar concept with the Blood Moons.

Breath of the wild has lots of lore but I cant wait for the sequel to expand it

What I want to know about Lynels is why they can't be faceshot stunned when they are shooting their bow. I have hit Lynels in the face and the game doesn't register it because they were using their bow. I'm starting to think that they are made out of pure magic everytime they pull out their bow at this point.

Bro all of the intros that I’ve seen on your channel sound so angelic and beautiful.

me: oh boy they're talking about robbie, i don't want to know what he looked like 100 years ago, i sure hope they don't-

Oh just wait three more days and we'll see what this would all look like! JUST THREE MORE!

"Removing the head or destroying the brain..." I see what you did there, and I approve of the reference.

"They teleport" *Im sorry what* btw i have never actullay seen a Lynel teleport hence my surprise-

I think the whole "golden monsters were silver monsters struck by lightning" thing is a callback to Skyward Sword's final boss fight with Demise, who would catch lightning on his sword and then shoot it at Link.

A little theory I just came up with; what if the reason Ganon's power briefly escapes, causing the Blood Moon, is that after a monster is slain and explodes into Malice, it then gets added to Ganon? After all, Blood Moons usually occur after Link has slain to many monsters. Perhaps this is because Ganon has accumulated enough 'mass' to break free of Zelda's power, if only for a night, and he then releases the monsters back into the world? After all, when they're revived, in the cutscene that happens during every Blood Moon, the monsters are shown being you're not reading this reformed from Malice. Also, sidenote, as far as I can tell, almost none of the monsters shown in the cutscene look like monsters we can actually fight in game, so perhaps they are still reforming from Malice, and it's a longer process than we thought?

What if the lightning that struck the silver enemies to turn them gold was from the dragon Farosh? I believe he is the green one, perhaps he tried to neutralize them, and instead it infused them with the divine power of the great dragon and combined with Ganon's malice. This could also explain the gold color since Farosh is the dragon that lives near the Spring of Courage. Maybe due to the shear strength of Ganon's malice, they were able to absorb the energies from the dragon instead of getting harmed by it.

I wish more enemies were designed with the love and care that Lynel’s were. They’re the only things I actively fight as they’re the only enemies I need to actually care about when fighting

Could you imagine fighting a silver enemy and shoot them with a lighting arrow and they evolve into a stronger gold enemy. Holy crap that would be scary and cool.

There should be Stal Yiga, who have given themselves to the Calamity, even after death. That could be another reason they turned evil. It’s an afterlife of sorts to follow Ganon.

Does anyone, except myself, think that we will see Purah and her aging disaster in more detail? I really hope we get to.

I can't wait to play age of calamity

I’ve had BOTW since launch and I never knew that lynels teleported

i am confusion on how zeltik doesn't have 1mil he my fav Zelda theorist

I actually love the "no lore" style of the game, when you find something out it makes you feel so cool and rewarding.

Blood moon releases all the monsters from where they were being held in Ganon's evil jar after Link slays them. The Zelda cartoon series predicted BotW's monster resurrections years in advance. 😜

There's smth about you and your videos that just really soothes me. Whenever I'm feeling really down, depressed, uncomfortable, etc, if I watch one of your videos they really help me. They genuinely interest me and distract me from my bad thoughts/feelings I struggle with leaving alone. Thank you, I've been watching you for years now

In the german version of the game, the "guts" are called "Herz" (German word for heart) So yeah.... obviously you are right with the assumtion that it should be the heart

The monster parts being infused with malice poses so many more questions! Link is literally ingesting them for the qualities that the malice augments, so is malice the source of the buffs that Link gets from elixirs? Can you cook out malice the same way you boil contaminated water? Is Link immune because of his time in the Shine of Resurrection, or is he *not* immune? Is Link become that much more infected with malice with every elixir he drinks?

Wait what!!!!???? Lynels can teleport??!! Who else didn’t know this?

You’re the best zeld-Ologist there is in my opinion! I love your videos!

Beware, traveler of the comment section. For there are AOC spoilers out in the wild.

Robbie strikes me as a "messing with things that should not be messed with" type of mad scientist. So him trying to make mass-produceable replicas of the Master Sword makes sense.

To the first theory, remember how Demise, the original evil in the timeline used thunderstorms to power up his blade? And Ganondorf himself also uses a lot of electricity magic like the electric balls in the tennis fight? Yeah, electricity was always Ganondorf's signature energy. As you mentioned Urbosa's fury, Ganondorf is also a Gerudo. Is electricity a power associated to Gerudo or.. is Urbosa and Ganondorf blood connected?

Everyone hyped for Friday? I know I am.

I never know that Lynels could teleport..... O.O;

It's really strange yet awesome to see some of my footage in one your videos. Glad I was able to help you out! The video was superb as usual. Cheers! :D

I have a theory Link is Zelda

Bruh i can't wait for Botw 2. There's bound to be more Zeltik videos by then😂😂😂😂

11:33 I understood that reference.

Could you imagine how terrifying a Gold Hinox would be? A Hinox with a club or a full set of Hinox "armor" with as much health and attack & defense as a Gold/Silver Enemy who could easily take out a town...

Continuing the crossover i needed! Thank you both!!!

One of the reasons breath of the wild is probably my favorite game of all time is that it is the only game in a fictional world where I can see something that, AFTER 3 YEARS, is unexplained and am forced to try and assume what happened to make some random thing happen. Like the skulls where the bokoblins live. My theory: The Shekiah needed to form such incredible stealth technology to fight and escape these giant beasts in their time. Either those beasts eventually evolved into lynels, smaller, faster, smarter versions of themselves, or they get hunted to extinction by the Shekiah. But instead of decomposing, calamity Ganon found the last of these skulls and made them stronger so they can be homes for bokoblins and, when the bokoblins see fit, be destroyed by explosives to kill intruders but keep the homes. But Ganon also keeps these skulls for another purpose. Once he finally defeats Zelda he planned to harness his power to bring those giant monsters back.

Great theories, especially the last one about Malice forcing monster to stay "alive"/be reincarnated. Truly horrifying if you ask me. Poor Bokoblins. I always feel bad killing them.

Hey! awesome video! Also I think that in the compendium when it says they're resistant to electricity it means they aren't stunned by the electric effect for as long, if you test them for how long they stay in the stun animation its a lot less than normal enemies, hopefully this helped! I love your videos ^-^

It could be that the Royal Guard series' flaw was just due to them being overly sharpened weapons. That left them able to cut through things with ease but also so thin that they were brittle. I assume the Royal guards were elite soldiers who were supposed to be able to end battles quickly.

So in Breath of the Wild we are actually fighting zombies?

25 seconds ago damn I’m quick. Quickest draw in the west 😎

I love the ancient Sheikah technology, I love the style of it and it's significance in BOTW's story. It's pretty much the first time a Zelda game has gone full "sci-fi fantasy" if that's what you want to call it, and Sheikah tech fascinates me all the same. I remember my first encounter with an immobile guardian, outside the bomb shrine on the great plateau. It was scary but also thrilling to see such an unusual enemy, as robotic foes (or at least those that resemble a somewhat robotic appearance even if they're not robots in the traditional sense) are kinda rare, at least me having only played a handful of Zelda games before hadn't seen many of them. I was instantly intrigued, I wanted to know more about who built them, and why. Same with the shrines and towers. I was holding out hope that, at some point in the game, you'd find a way to un-corrupt a guardian, even if only temporarily. Alas, it was not to be. I kinda got my wish with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity tho. Whenever I was inside a shrine, I always imagined how crazy it must have been to hollow out such a huge space underground, and what power source kept Sheikah tech running. I am somewhat saddened to see Sheikah tech being much more scarce in TOTK (at least from what we've seen so far) but I am still incredibly excited to see what happens next!

Honestly this intro is my favorite from all the Zelda RU-vidr's I watch

11:05 I think that's a metapod

Mini theories

Just a small little detail: in German the monster guts aren’t translated into the German word for guts ( which doesn’t even really have a translation ) but rather into the German word for heart. For example : bokoblin guts would become Bokblin Herz. Which honestly makes a lot more sense but would sound far darker in the English version.

Maybe the living organs are related to the blood moon and how it's able to revive monsters after death maybe they aren't being revived but being given a new body instead, in order to house that living organ and bring the related monster back from it's supposed death. Also here's a question of mine if the organs are filled with malice that's keeping the monsters alive in there then why isn't there any malice when they're made into elixirs?

In german it called „Herz“ that mean heart.

Noti Gang

Just thought of something about Stal enemies, of all the organic monster enemies there are four that don't have a stal variant, keese, chu-chus, moldugas, and lynels. the chu-chus we can ignore because they're boneless, as well as the keese because they are mostly eyeball. moldugas have a gameplay reason for not having a stal variant in that the bombs necessary to fight them would scatter them, making it rather annoying to fight them. that leaves lynels, I can't think of a single lore or gameplay based reason for a lack of stalynels, but they would be terrifying

About the golden enemies theory, I originally played the game in latam spanish and in that language the compendium entry says that when silver type enemies *voluntairily* get shocked by a thunder and that's when they become golden (this is a rough translation tho)

the video has been out for 13 minutes and it already has 5 dislikes, unacceptable

I've got a little something to add to the monster guts part. Perhaps when the blood moon rises and ganon's power is at a peak, he is able to draw the last bits of life from the guts and therefore ressurect the monster with a newly formed physical form. This is somewhat disproven by the fact that they don't dissapear from Link's inventory every blood moon, but I thought that was interesting.

Monster Maze did good :) all interesting small theories good job both of you

Man your narrating voice is next level! Every time you have a guest it who speaks! Ya not the same!

Ganon and Demise are the same person with the same memories, and here's the proof: READ ALL OF IT!!!! Demise says "I will rise again" after cursing link (not "my hatred will rise again", But "I will rise again"), Ganondorf had the same hair and eyes as Demise when he burst from the rubble of the castle in ocarina of Time, the oil painting flashback scene in Skyward Sword shows Demise in a form that's eerily similar to dark beast Ganon in breath of the wild, and Zelda says that dark beast Ganon is "a pure embodiment of the ancient evil that is reborn time and time again.", Demise and Ganondorf have identical faces, theme music, and speech patterns, and Ganondorf even quoted part of the Demise's curse in twilight princess, (which he only could have known if he was the one who cast it), Ganon somehow knew about (and how to defeat or resurect) the ancient dragon volvagia, the Deku tree, and Jabu-jabu in Ocarina of time, maybe because he met them as Demise long ago, Koloktos and the cursed bokoblins from skyward sword are filled with malice identical to Ganon's malice in BOTW, the wound on Ganondorf's chest in twilight princess is identical to the one on Demise's forhead (which was caused as the imprisoned by a pillar stab in the forehead, the same type of attack, a stab, that caused the wound in twilight princess), in Ganondorf's palutena's guidance conversation in Super Smash Bros. ultimate, Viridi says that " link is technically a different person in each Incarnation, but some people say that Ganondorf is the same person born over and over again.", and link and Zelda reincarnate, so why not demise? As for Wind Waker Ganondorf being used as a piece of evidence against my theory, he could very well only be a Broken Man due to losing his people and powers and not having a kingdom to conquer, as for ganon not recognizing link in Ocarina of time being used as evidence against it, ganon also dosen't seem to recognize link in wind waker, twilight princess, or a Link to the past, probably because he knows link reincarnates and is just so unsurprised by his appearance to stop him that it looks like he doesn't recognize him when, in fact, he does. As for demise being sealed in the sword and decaying being used as a piece of evidence against it, it could only be his body decaying, which is not that big a leap in logic when you think about it, and ganon has escaped seals tons of times, so why couldn't he escape one extra time? And as for the name change, it could be to hide the fact that he's still alive from Hylia. DISAGREE WITH THAT!!!!!!😏😈

Monster Maze -and- Zeltik?! Two of my favorite (and cutest) Zelda guys! What a great video. I hadn't heard these theories before - refreshing!! Keep up the good work!

Zeltik: and who better to join me for this than a man who makes some of the best Zelda content on YT.... Me: Monster Maze isn't it... Zeltik: Monster Maze Me: yeah makes sense

I absolutely love the random calm shots of the various landscapes throughout the video (at 1:06 for instance). It's great filler material for when you don't have anything to show beside what you are talking about. And they are great for wallpapers

This was a great format for a video! I hope you’ll make more!

I absolutely love your mini theories! So cool thx for sharing :)

I love your content Zeltik! Keep up the great work.

Sooooo your voice is hella chill & comforting to fall asleep to, lol! Thanks!

Thanks for doing small theory videos like this Zeltik! I’m always amazed just how many there are.

Maybe the lighting has something to do with demise as well since he is the primal god of evil. It also made me think I about his final battle with demise in that cloud lightning stricken battle.

I love Bokoblins too. They're so adorable. ❤️

Zeltik actually deserves 1 mil and higher and nobody can change my mind, literally such quality content 👌

I love how much your voices compliment each other, the storybook style tone is my favorite part of this channel

11:33 nice shaun of the dead reference

Zeltik: Basically, all enemies are forced to cling to life by Ganon. They exist only to serve the beast. No matter how they survive, they must. Me: [spooked] Zeltik: Thanks for watching! 😊 This is the same feeling I got after the ReDead video, and that's the feeling that made me subscribe in the first place

I haven't been playing breath of the wild lately but after watching your videos it inspired me to play the game again

I thought it worked how octopuses sometime moves without being attached once you add soy sauce to it, or when a chickens head gets cut off

"So intricately designed" and then shows a picture of a wooden sign 😂 that just made me chuckle

I love Blins, i think they’re endearing. Something about a little pig caveman is just too cute.

You and Monster Maze are my favorite Zelda channels, so this was a treat for me.

If you’ve ever done a dissection on, say, a fish, you know its heart will keep beating for a very long time after you remove it from the body.

I really love how I was just thinking about this video and you posted :)

Always happy to see a new video 😎👍

Love watching all your videos! Cheers
