The more inspiration it can take from Princess Mononoke the better. Such a beautiful and classic film. As for Link’s arm I wonder if that green energy is less healing his arm and more sealing the malice. If they want to draw from Mononoke then could have part of the journey being the need to heal Link’s arm before the malice poisoning his arm breaks free from that green sealing energy.

@AnonymOus-ss9jj Год назад

I would prefer if they didn't use any more of Ghibli. Unless Nintendo agrees to make games for Studio Ghibli's properties (which while awesome would be problematic since half of those stories themselves come from a now dead author), isn't Zelda supposed to be its own thing? To me this is already a bit too much to take from something that isn't part of a religion, culture, or history. I mean before this the most they've ever taken from a single story was King Arthor, right? (Or maybe LotR?) Unless you can tell me the name of the first story to have magic, wizards, goblins, cyclops, elves, and/or undead. Granted I can't say my opinion is better than yours, it's just how I feel.

@Matthew-Martinsson Год назад

I seriously love that the Zelda community of YT'ers won't spoil. Such an awesome statement to say, we do it the right way! Thank you Zeltik. I can't wait to play ToTK. Also the spirit in mononokee looks like the spirit of Aang in Avatar the last Airbender.

@matthewmuir8884 Год назад

We already did get a "the royal must let Hyrule go while Ganondorf can't" in Wind Waker, so that would be a bit repetitive, but I like a lot of the other possible parallels you mentioned.

If Nintendo ever were to allow a studio to produce film based on TLoZ (like they did with the upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie), Studio Ghibli would definitely be the one to go with. That would be a film I'd pay to watch several times over!

@amandabutcher23 Год назад

Another thing that stuck out to me in the most recent trailer was the underground 'forest' where the bokoblins were mining. It reminded me a lot, aesthetically, of the forest in Nausicaa.

@elijahthomas4231 Год назад

The giant multi-legged boar demon is possibly where the idea for the insect mass concept came from. The silhouette is the same, so not much is different aside from the bug theming.

@JuanVargasArts Год назад

Great insight! I especially like how you noticed the sun rising differently in each game. I can’t wait to see how much you get right based on this theory when the game finally comes out.

@charliec.-lite1466 Год назад

I could see an ending where instead of killing Ganondorf the old fashion way, they sort of exorcise him instead. Like, you have the final battle as usual, but the final cutscene involves Link and Zelda somehow releasing Ganondorf from his malice and allowing him to pass on without reincarnating. I mean, at this point he's coming across less like a tyrant king and more like a vengeful spirit/deity. Maybe taking that approach would be appropriate from both a practical and thematic standpoint.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! 💚 FINALLY somebody made a video about these specific moments from these specific movies I've been practically SCREAMING about for MONTHS. Another thing was the fact is we really don't know what happened to Ganondorf's body after Twilight Princess. Just after Zant's *shiver* neck crack, Ganon's just..lifeless. Soo I bet he's pretty mad about being stuck down there too 🤣🤣 especially since we don't know why/how they knew to put him down there, with whatever ethereal hand that is.

@Wolffman109 Год назад

Hey, Zeltik. I dunno if you've ever watched Majorlink, but he's making a multi-part series called "Hero's Purpose" that actually has parallels to this topic about seeking a cure from malice. It takes place during the missing chapter of the Hero of Time's life and focuses heavily on the curse placed by Demise. If you've never seen it, go check it out.

@deadsoon Год назад

Something really interesting, at least to me, is that in Mononoke, Ahistaka's tribe is heavily inspired in the Ainu, an ethnic group native to Japan and Russia. DNA studies has determined they originated in Siberia. The interesting part is, studies of indigenous tribes in the americas has determined they also likely originated from Siberia. So basically TOTK has aesthetics inspired by cultures in two different corners of the world that had one common origin.

@kacperwoch4368 Год назад

Common Siberian origin... over 25,000 years ago. While Ainu could be considered one culture, native Americans are not one culture or one people. Your observation is interesting but almost certainly unintentional on Nintendo's part.

@liamnehren1054 Год назад

Hey Zeltik, the connections to the Aztec creation mythos and 5 suns might be an interesting read for you. BotW Malice is really similar to the Aztec idea about the nature of the earth and their belief about how the earth must be appeased but while appeased serves the Aztec gods is extremely reminiscent of what I think is happening with Gannondorf. Plus Zonai architecture looks extremely pre colonial meso/south american. See I think Gannondorf is being Siphoned for magical power, the Sheikah tech was being powered by this pilfered might, hence why we hear that it has been acting up at the end of BotW. This also fits nicely into the basic concept of the 5 suns, Hyrule has used this siphon system to change the cycle of Gannondorf's attacks from every few hundred years to every ten thousand because it takes him longer to gather enough strength for an escape attempt but the near escape in the age of calamity led to the siphon seal breaking at the end of BotW and his slow release there after. Maybe the green magic powered tech we see in the trailers is part of a secondary system made as a backup to the sheikah in case gannondorf manages to free himself.

@PunkTenshi Год назад

@TomKloseMusic Год назад

Now after the latest trailer I'm thinking the pendant from "Castle in the Sky" might not have inspired link's magical arm directly but the tears of the kingdom: In one scene Zelda is also wearing hear yellow glowing tear like a necklace and it looks like one of those tears is giving Link his magic abilities.

With malice coming from underground, sky islands appearing and what you said in the video, that zelda may have to let go of hyrule, maybe in tears of the kingdom ganondorf will conquer hyrule. Zelda will help the people escape to the sky islands, possibly becoming hylia in the process. This would create a state similar to the start of skyward sword, or create an actual loop through time magic.

Hey Zeltik I noticed something (unrelated to this video) that I want to point out. Go to the Tabantha tower and look at the great fairy fountain. It sparkles in the same way that Hateno glows during the newest trailer. Also if you glide to the fountain you will see it sparkle a bunch more. I wonder if the fairy's magic may be protecting the town from malice. Thats just my opinion and thoughts, it could be nothing, but it could possibly be something. I just thought the comparison is nifty.

@ChainedFei Год назад

I would point out, Zeltik, that the Guardian of the Mountain glows with the same blue green energy as Link's new Arm and the spirit stones, and as you already pointed out the parallel with the forest spirit in Mononoke, is it possible the Guardian of the mountain is somehow involved with these events?

@1umbreon4life Год назад

@chiffmonkey Год назад

You went so in depth but tripped at the last hurdle. Thematics are what matter most in Eastern storytelling. Princess Mononoke is in itself a spiritual successor to Nausicaa, further developing its nature/technology theme in a more nuanced way with the introduction of Iron Town as an example of how technology isn't alway bad. I would expect Tears of the Kingdom to further develop these Ghibli themes, especially considering that Princess Mononoke ends in a somewhat open ended way with its core issues not entirely resolved. Meanwhile the Zelda franchise has been building its own themes in the form of the oft-misunderstood timelines. They represent different philosophies, approaches to the same predicament - that of one who would fall on their sword to defeat the bad (Downfall), that of one who sees good in the bad (Child) and that of one who tries to evade the bad (Adult). The Child timeline has been delivering metaphors much like the demon boar - like how Majora's Mask puppeteers Skull Kid, how Midna is seduced by the Fused Shadow. How another Ganondorf winds up on a path to evil. To me the progression is really obvious - Ganondorf can be redeemed, MUST be redeemed to have any hope of seeing malice for the true threat it really is.

i'm so glad that botw/totk has introduced more western fans to castle in the sky. it's essentially the lord of the rings of japanese fantasy, in terms of sheer influence on the genre, including past zelda games! twilight princess's sky temple is the first example that comes to mind. it has that same ethereal, melancholic vibe that you described in the video. despite its advanced technology and it being inhabited by the occa, the city in the sky still feels empty, overgrown, and haunted by a history too distant and alien to be understood today. other zelda games like minish cap and especially skyward sword also feature some nods to castle in the sky, but i wanted to highlight twilight princess since i just finished replaying it as i patiently wait for totk 🥲 while we all wait, i'd highly recommend castle in the sky to any zelda fan that hasn't seen it already. it's my all-time favorite movie, so i love seeing it get the attention it deserves! :)

I think anyone who knows both Ghibli and Zelda already realized the similarities, but it's great to see everything side by side here. Very interesting video! I should watch those great movies again...

This analysis and discussion is amazing. BotW is my favourite LoZ beating SS, which was my former favourite LoZ title, and I absolutely LOVE Studio Ghibli movies and other movies with the same animation style and story telling.

Omg I absolutely loved this video! My favorite one yet. I can't believe I never noticed myself.

The depths in Totk immediately made me think of the mushroom forest from Nausicaa

I think after the most recent trailer where Zelda is basically wearing the outfit we can say there's a good chance we'll get some big parallels plot wise.

Princess mononoke is my absolute favorite animated movie of all time, and in my top 5 of all movies. Also I wanted to say I really respect zeltik for not making a vid on the artbook leak, I know he's worked tremendously hard to have even the small relationship with Nintendo he has developed, im sure there was soooo much pressure and anxiety about what he should or shouldn't do, he could've made so much content and end the dry spell of not much being released on ToTK, and probably tons of money too, but he had the integrity to keep his channel pure for those who want wait and experience the game and its official updates as it's creators and publisher truly intended. Major salute to you Cap'n Zeltik, with eyes truly unclouded...by greed and hype. Lol

Thanks for the disclaimer at the start of the video, I was a little worried about seeing spoilers from the leak.

Sun being in a different position in trailer could also mean that they have added seasons in totk. Wouldnt that be cool if you had four seasons in game

Castle in the sky and princess Mononoke are my two fav Ghibli movies. 100% the first thing I noticed when I played BOTW. Especially the mountain spirit and the forest spirits.

BOTW gave me Ghibli vibes but TOTK was crazy the opening gave me some spirited away feeling with the soundtrack, and the the dragons the gloom all the Shinto themes now more than ever

Who knew that watching every Ghibli movie I could find would be so useful.

@Ellary_Rosewood Год назад

This is such an interesting take! Really enjoyed this video and it makes me even more curious to see if any of these predictions come true. Also makes me wish there were more Studio Ghibli-like video games. (Ni No Kuni is a great example, but something with a darker feel).

Thank you for mentioning it

Thanks for the leak (or more so not leak) warning in the beginning. Been scared to watch zelda videos ever since it was announced that there were some leaks of the art book going around.
