5 Unexplained Zelda Mysteries! #3 

Thanks for watching! Check out Hyrule Gamer's counterpart video on his channel as well! What're your favourite unsolved Zelda mysteries? Do you have theories on anything shown here? Let me know!

Jabu Jabu ate the dragons and he's hiding in Link's room.

“Ganondorf finally met his demise.” AYYYY

7:51 “Ok he’s a boy so we have to name him Ganondorf. Let’s hope this goes better than last time.” “Hey Moms I’m gonna go steal this trident now.” “Godammit.”

When I was a kid I used to think that ramp shaped block of ice where Jabu Jabu used to be _was_ him, frozen. It was a pretty creepy thought at the time.

"What is Link hiding?" The rest of the 2D Zelda remakes.

My guess would be that Lord Jabu Jabu was killed by ganondorf, since he’s regarded as a deity by the zora, and ganondorf seems like the kinda guy who would want to kill a deity.

In OoT for N64, you can see the skeletal remains of Jabu Jabu from the bottom of his lake. Just use the iron boots to get the heart piece and look up at the big block of ice. It always made me sad to think I walked on his remains to progress the game.

Gerudo female1: You had to name him Ganondorf, did you? Gerudo female2: It just sounds so nice. Gerudo female1: BUT THE LAST GANONDORF WAS AN ASS!!!

Since Jabu-Jabu's decenndent is alive in wind waker, we can assume that he escaped and survived.

5 unexplained Zelda mysteries #1: why is Wind Waker HD not on the Switch yet?

Who else thinks zeltik's voice is really relaxing?

10:00 I think this was a joke, implying that Link has a secret "art" stash hidden.

I feel like half of these mysteries are the developers forgetting things then saying to each other, “shit... bro I forgot to put it back in the game... you think miyamoto will notice?” “Nah bro... don’t tell him.”

"They are nothing like any conventional ghosts we've seen before in the series" If you want to base mysteries on the games being inconsistent we are going to be here all day.

Here;s my theory for Jabu's disappearance: Ganondorf had a fish fry

Theory about the ribcages found in hyrule, and why they are always only ribcages and spine: they all belonged to one animal, one titanic, literal world serpent.

You get me through the wait for Botw 2, just as you did for Botw!

I'd like to add that it isnt only ever the ribs or spines, there's the giant skulls and fish heads that the Koboblins and the Lizals live in

I find it interesting how Dragon Bone Mire is located so close to Rito Village, with bones that are so particularly massive. Especially given how in the original introduction of the Rito in Wind Waker, they were shown as only gaining wings upon receiving a scale from the titan sky spirit Valoo, a massive dragon. One of the largest we've physically seen alive in the series. While I doubt those bones actually belong to him, I do think that they're likely an intentional reference.

When I was little I was actually afraid of doing the alien mission in Majora’s Mask lol

What is Link hiding? Jabu Jabu.

5:52 "They're nothing like any conventional ghosts we've seen before in the series" Proceeds to show an example ghost from the latest entry in the series

12:23 "Hinoxen" I don't think I've ever heard the plural of Hinox. I don't think I'd ever even thought about it. I love it.

1: Yeah that is weird. It's even weirder how you can easily glitch into the dungeon inside of him as adult Link, almost as he is still there somehow. Personally I just assumed that Ganondorf killed Jabu-Jabu and froze Zora's Domain through Morpha, maybe not even in that order. I feel he would have done the same to the Deku Tree had he not died already from Gohma's infection. 2: I hate them, they are very creepy. I think they are just ghosts of the soldiers slain during the Twili Invasion, however they are TURNING into Poes due to the immense grief they carry. Maybe that's why they look so jarring and act so stiff and strange. A small part of them is clinging to their memories and sanity from when they were alive and trying to help Link overcome the challenges and avenge them somehow. 3: This is really something that I'm not sure we will ever see an answer. I like to think of the Trident as a countermeasure to the Master Sword, perhaps crafted by demons for their king to help him in his conquests. I also like that the writing on the stone tablet in the Trident's resting room sounds like a salesperson trying to get you to buy their evil weapon. I'll tell you what, I'd LOVE if Ganondorf wielded the Trident in Smash Bros. 4: Oooooohhhh boy, I remember being completely puzzled by this one when I was younger. I searched every nook and cranny and crack for a solution to this and nothing. As far as I am aware it was part of a sidequest that got cut out but the Flagship devs forgot to take out the text that triggers near that wall, and thus it was dutifully translated into English when localized. In my headcanon though? Link's grandpa or even Link himself hides hyrulean porn under that table. And Ezlo wants some dat. 5: Maybe the Hylians and others call these the bones of "dragons" just because the fabled dragons that roam the land (Naydra, Farosh and Dinraal) are the largest creatures they can think of. So they saw this huge bones and were like "Oh those are big like the dragons! They are the bones of dragons!" They don't know any better. Or any bigger. Within the game's lore? That really is a mystery. Now video game ambience and design wise? I believe Aonuma and his team just thought it would look pretty dope to see all these curvy ribcages and skeletons around the explorable map.

These mysteries are so interesting! I loved finding the Graveyard in Twilight Princess. Sometimes I wish Breath of the wild had graveyards spread throughout.... it would kind of make sense wouldn't it? Also, I'm glad the sand seal at 12:10 is having a good time.

I personally think that these "dragon bones" are also Leviathans, or maybe a cousin of the species.

I had always just assumed the bones were the remains of the leviathans, and they were maybe the ancestors of the three dragons or ancient sea creatures like the one you fought in Twilight Princess.

The large bones in Breath of the Wild could be mere fragments of a single, truly colossal Volvagia-like dragon. Just a random guess.

We all know what Link was hiding in the corner.

In the Minish Cap, Ezlo was talking about the Big Rupee hidden in the garden outside your home. You can dig it up using the Mole Mitts Edit:fixed Spelling

10:23 personally, I think Ezlo is hinting at the infinitely respawning red rupee outside Link's house.

Just imagine all of the lore Nintendo is holding onto.

Who wants popcorn? I just made a fresh batch

That bit with Ezlo, I'm pretty sure, is just a joke about Link having hidden stuff in his room, as is common in tropey Japanese media, with teenaged boys' rooms.

That corner is just where Link hides his weed

I'm about to go to bed, but when I check my phone I see a new Zeltik video, "Eh, sleep can wait."

Oh my god I didn't even know about that Twilight Princess area, I'm ashamed. That's the kind of reason why I love this channel, even my favorite games still have secrets I wouldn't be able to discover by myself.

I always thought the Minish Cap mystery was just a wink to Link hiding R18 stuff. That’s why the “I won’t tell anyone” part. Kinda like Rita’s drawer in Tales of Vesperia if you ever played that game. Could be just me not poking around enough though.

BOTW2 idea: While plunging into vast, underground caverns beneath Hyrule, you stumble upon an ancient, hibernating Leviathan... *Boss Health bar fills*

I think in the minish cap, it's a reverence for hiding a porn book

Why are the spirits in the graveyard missing their two front teeth? (Cries)

I never knew about the castle graveyard in Twilight Princess and I can't tell you how many times I've played that game. I can't believe I missed it!

I've got to say that Zeltiks british accent really adds to his videos. When just listening to the content it really feels like some ancient knowledge is being read to me, if that makes any sense. Love it.

Jabu Jabu is seen again in two different timelines, meaning he's alive and well.

Imagine if the dragon bones weren't dragon bones at all, but rather the Guardians from Majoras Mask

This is literally my favorite video format, together with theories! Keep up the great work!

I love these unexplained mysteries series, please keep it up with a part 4!

Early congrats on 300k scrubs you scrub 😘

I think I finally have a theory for what Ezlo was talking about in Minish Cap. The way he says, "Show me!" I think implies... Link himself hid something there. Perhaps in a corner or under the table... what I think is supposed to be implied is that Ezlo is asking Link where he hides his "literature." Unless it was literal cut content, it's the only thing I can think of that would make sense for that line without something literally being there.

In regard to the secret in Link’s room, I’ve noticed a theme in some video games. Something very similar happens in Toadstool’s room near a chair in SMRPG and in Rita’s dresser in her room in Tales of Vesperia. You discover something that the character is very secretive or embarrassed about, and are quickly yelled at by the character and told to stay out of their stuff. If I had to guess, I think this may be very subtle adult humor. Since this is the third game I’ve seen this in, I have a feeling this may be a common kind of joke in Japan. Can’t say for sure, but that’s my theory.

You say dragons like they're some foreign concept that you have never heard of

There are plenty of large skulls to go with the ribcages, but they strangely are not often found together.

Wow I never knew about the TP graveyard, let alone the creepy as hell ghosts hanging out there. Good video!

I finally got a Switch and BotW, and aside from just being able to play the game and explore it for myself, I'm so excited to actually be able to watch your BotW content! I've avoided most of it in an attempt to not be spoiled, but I LOVE your videos and I'm so excited for so many more of them to be opened up to me.

Congratulations on 300k subscribers! Fully deserved

If we don’t get a BotW 2 trailer at the Game Awards I’m going to riot

5:48 the soldiers “red hair” might be plumes that most soldiers had around there helmets

Minish cap was just another "found Peach's ???" moment. Ya'll know what I mean 😂

Oh my GOD i DIED when Hyrule Gamer started talking. I was NOT expecting such a strong Northern accent.

My theory of the demise of the dragons: Long after skyloft was raised new creatures inhabited Hyrule, these creatures were called “dragons”. They inhabited the land getting any food they could find. However, they lived underground so as these colossal beast’s population grew, so did the food ammount decrease. So as they slowly died, their memory slowly forgotten, they had gone extinct. As the shifts in the earth’s plates shifted more of their skeletons began to appear slowly over time, but not their full ones, only the ribs and spines as the bones had both eroded and they were still trapped underground which could also explain the bottomless bog it was the only head to ever rise Please don’t hate me for this just a thought

The mystery thing in Link's room could be Majora's Mask, which can be found in the corner of Link's house in A Link Between Worlds. The skeletons look about the right size for King Dodongos - a type of dragon that doesn't fly.

I actually think I heard or read somewhere that that "secret" spot in Link's room in Minish Cap was to have something to do with the E-Card Reader, or whatever it was called, that launched late in the GBA's lifespan, iirc. No idea how well it did in Japan, but here in the US, it didn't really take off as well as they had hoped. Idk if it still has functionality in the Japanese version or not, or if this was even the case; that's the theory, however. Like you said, it may just be leftover data... or it could be another case like the Ice Key in Banjo-Kazooie, where a planned feature doesn't pan out the way they would have liked, and thus we get a piece of dead-end content like this one. I do wonder if someone could datamine the game and find out someday, tho. I'm immensely curious, and have been since I was young and first discovered that most annoying of secrets... A more thorough look can provide a lot of interesting details.

Yes a collab with hyrule gamer I love it! I liked seeing both of your channel's rise to fame!

I should be working on my final exams...

Here is a CRAZY theory, what if all of the races in botw are some sort of minish and all the giant skeletons are the regular races from before botw and other games

"I sense something unusual here" "I won't tell anyone, so come on! Show me!" Hmm. I think the best explanation is that Link is keeping a diary and Ezlo wants to take a look

I always thought the table one might have been an obscure reference to Zelda II and how you find a mirror under a table.

12:21 *Biggoron glares past smokey tears*

Okay so two suggestions here: How do fish survive winter!? Jabu Jabu is still a fish, you know? So these dragon bones are all that remains of the dragon species? What about the three specimen still roaming Hyrule?

These videos are some of the most interesting about Zelda, what amazing game developers to think of the past present and future in the last four or five games. They've been planning all of this and a lot of it fell right perfectly into place

Ezlo saying "I sense something unusual here" while there is nothing unusual anywhere is indeed an unusual thing to say. So I guess he's not lying

On the dragon bones- there’s a prescience for dragons set in the original LoZ. There are quite a few (3, I think?) that act as mid-bosses.

Hey Zeltik, I recently replayed Twilight Princess and while doing the Twilight Realm dungeon I noticed a lot of similarities between the Twili “technology” and Sheika tech in BoTW. Think there are any connections there?

Zeltik thank you for the awesome videos.

I never discovered that with Ezelo. This is truly intreguing. I have never gone to that corner in all of my time playing The Minish Cap.

Jabu Jabu died, it's all but directly stated. Ruto says he's been looking "green around the gills" and when you enter his body you kill multiple parasites that had taken root in his body. The implication is that Ganondorf cursed Jabu Jabu like he cursed the Great Deku Tree. Conveniently also with a parasite, Gohma. He survives and later passes. The Wind Waker shows that Jabu Jabu either had offspring or reincarnated as you see another giant fish named Jabun that speaks the hylian tongue, a remnant of OoT Hyrule.

Jabu Jabu is actually still there, kinda. He's just invisible ;P You can get into Jabu Jabu's belly as adult Link if you know where his loading zone is.

Thanks for collaborating with HG, he's great and so humble. His channel has amazing content as well.

Awesome video and love your content. The ghosts at 6:30 are definitely Hyrule soldiers. They look strikingly similar to the ghost of hero of time in the same game- deformed and demonic looking skeletons

Ezlo's comment might be referring to the red rupee buried outside, near the lower left corner of Link's house, which respawns endlessly, making it easy to farm a lot of rupees. Maybe the implied canonical explanation is that this is Link's secret rupee stash.

10:43 i think its a crack at some secret items that link has in his room, merely a joke

Love your narration

Isn’t Jabu jabu incased in ice underwater somewhere I have this memory of finding him, maybe I’m wrong or it might’ve been a dream but I feel like I found him somewhere.

Here’s my theory on the haunting ghosts in the graveyard: Remember the failed link who looks like a zombie who teaches link sword skills and stuff? Him and the ghosts look similar. Maybe they could be failed ghosts of knights who are still alive. Hope you look into this.

Lord jabu jabu was one of my favorite characters😂

The minish cap mystery might be a reference to the mirror side quest in zelda 2. The mirror is under a table, and link actually has dialogue in the game. Just a thought to throw out there. Love the video

Yess finally I loved part 1 and 2

I never actually had the idea to use wolf sense on some of Hyrule castle's puzzles the torch one was terrible

This is one of my favorite youtube channels so you know I had to immediately click the notification

I realy realy like your content :D thanks for all the Videos

Dude I love your voice it’s soothing. It puts me to sleep. Cheers!

The indentation of the trident is kinda shaped like the swords that Ganon used in OoT

For Number 4, I'm just gonna chalk it up to a cheeky Easter egg. I mean, it's something hidden, under a table, sitting with the WALL at your back... … ...actually, let's abandon this train of thought. Isn't Link meant to be, like 11 or so in Minish Cap? EUGH!!!

I love zeltiks voice, I can listen to him all day

Man. Your creative writing is a thing of beauty

I personally think that the Nameless poe-like ghosts in hyrule castle were Knights serving under the Hero of Time after MM. It would make sense since Link was a knight that he would be leading Troops. and the red hair immediately reminds me of Lon-Lon ranch. Perhaps Link started a branch of knights of his own. they don't wear the usual uniform and the symbol on their chests reminds me of the hylian shield.

We've seen a gigantic skeleton as part of scenery before; the gigantic Dodongo skull in Ocarina of Time's Dodongo's Cavern. And it seems that the Dodongos have gone extinct by the time of Breath of the Wild, due to there not being a single Dodongo in the game. If Dodongos truly can become as massive as that great skeleton possibly even larger than that, then it could be that the bones across Hyrule belong to the extinct Dodongos. Dodongos can be considered a kind of dragon, being massive reptiles capable of breathing fire, despite being more of a dinosaur. It is also worth noting that dinosaur bones in the real world were once considered to be dragon bones long before paleontologists proved them otherwise. So in conclusion, it is quite possible that the giant rib cages all throughout Breath of the Wild's Hyrule are really Dodongo bones, but thought to be dragons instead.

Headcanon: In OoT, Ganon yeeted Jabu Jabu out of his lake to intimidate the Zora.

I never realized until now just how close that resting Goron was to being obliterated by the Dodongo Entrance explosion. 😂
