Is Wind Waker’s Tower of the Gods a Sheikah Shrine? (Zelda Theory) 

schikuji3997 That’s what I’m wondering. Assuming they aren’t related you could say that in botw the designs for the shrines were inspired by the God tower design from Wind Waker and in WW they say the Gods made the tower not sheikah.

I love how interconnected this series is, no other like it

I think it's more like "Hey remember that neat little detail we put into a past game? Let's do it again and see if anyone notices it!" Which is still pretty awesome. It's great how minuscule things people barely notice in one game can be referenced or expanded upon in another over a decade later.

Also Aonuma: "in about... 18 years I'd say"

schikuji3997 -😮😂🤣👏👏👏 good one

I would like the comment, but the number of likes is to perfect.. Edit: OK now I can like the comment because someone broke the 69

timemadscientist Greatscot! They also forgot to renew their anti-Malice software after they recovered the ancient Sheika constructs.

Oh they did but when the Hylians dug them up they ignored this message: "Your free trial has expired, would you like to subscribe to the full version?" If only they had made that second email account

😂 lol

can we all agree to stop liking it after it reaches 420? My roommate is a stoner, and this is the only way I can get him to watch any RU-vid videos.

This so many times 😂😂😂

I skip most fights if I can and I'm not intentionally hunting for armor upgrades so that happens like 9 times out of 10 without exaggeration

Your heightened sense of awareness has led you to be aware that your inventory is full...

He definitely has a talent for colourful writing, doesn't he? More impressive, I think, is his ability to deliver the lines without it sounding cringey. Honestly, other people have said less colourful prose and sounded far worse. Zeltik is one of my favourite RU-vidrs for this reason.

Zeltik: Purple Prose done *RIGHT* (Seriously. I love it. I wish my descriptive writing could be half as pretty. Zeltik makes it seem easy with how it flows. It’s damn hard to have purple prose not sound pretentious and clunky as hell.)

Zeltik's commentary is very enjoyable.

typical ... only A dumb Idiot would say that

Reading a little more helps with your writing.

Might I add: why is it that after a monk gives Link a Spirit Orb, they dissapear in a GREEN particle (akin to the energy holding Ganondorf down in BOTW 2's trailer)?

@@johnwright2217 Back to the Life Stream.

Well hyrule is siting on a rock with a long path leading to it. Its morre than likely that the tower of the gods is attached to the temple of tome where the master sword now resides. This is similar to breath of the wild where the busted up church is the same or similar distance from hyrule castle. BOTW 2 may be hyrule castle rising up so you can male your way backwards to the great plateau, where underneath lies the temple of time, similarly, we could be going underground to and searching outward to go to the other temples.

i would even say the amos in TP are sheikah-made

Invader Especially since the Zelda Franchise has a distinct habit of deliberately reusing or rearranging or referencing previous themes as Musical Forshadowing. -Tetra’s and Sheik’s Theme? Zelda’s Theme -Aryll’s and Marin’s Ballad of the Windfish? Also based around Zelda’s Theme loosely (and they’re thematically “False Zeldas”) -Groose’s Theme? Ganon’s Theme. (No, really. But not as a red herring-he bears the trademark characteristics of the Gerudo, and shares a certain Defiance of Fate as Ganondorf, and relies both on Brute Strength and Cunning and stacking the odds in his favor (only to get bested by Link). He’s even present for every battle against The Imprisoned/Demise and plays an active role in at least one of the battles moreso than Impa (and his bloodline/soul would make a convenient tether for Demise’s Malice/Curse to punish the Third Party in his defeat). He even spends the first half of the game obsessing over Zelda...although it’s out of lust while Ganon(dorf)’s obsession is not. Thankfully Groose Let’s It Go and respects Zelda’s feelings...which Ganon(dorf) also had a similar respect for Zelda and treated her as a legitimate threat to be contained.) -Kakariko Villages all share similar motifs. (Which can also be heard in Old Kakariko/Hidden Village, BotW Kakariko, and the BotW Main Theme...but it’s much harder. BUT, all of the above are directly tied to the Sheikah...so it’s possible that that isn’t too much of a stretch.) ...and the Game Over theme from Zelda1 is referenced in both Ghirahim’s Theme and in the music playing around the “Sealing” Hand. (One of several reasons why I’m hopeful that the “Seal” is actually connected to Ghirahim. I’ve made waaaayyy too many tangents about the similarities between the Hand and Ghirahim and what Ghirahim would even have to gain from the connection/how he could’ve orchestrated the events/how Ghirahim has the most Skills to revive Demise (and more successfully) out of every previous group to date...including Twinrova in the Oracle Games))

Seriously?! I couldn't hear a similarity at all

Kayla Abernathy It’s VERY buried, but it’s there. But if you can hear it, it foreshadows So Much plot relevant shit like Oh My WORD is the composer telegraphing. - (I also derp around with eartraining A LOT. Like the colligate ear training drills were a breeze for me...when it was only the intervals, anyway. I had an upperclassmen friend who I hung out with who wanted to make an arrangement of the Disney Narnia score. She had me write out the contour and intervals for her to mess with making actual sheet music for, later. The project kinda got abandoned, but it was WILD having a better Ear even though I kinda flunked out of the Chord Theory portion despite having a few people try to tutor me-it was a bit too little, too late. Also anxiety’s a bastard that can go screw itself...and most of my classmates either had a different learning style or already had a background in Chord Theory whereas I...didn’t.)

@@kaylaabernathy6346 it had similar beats but it was higher pitched

@@kaylaabernathy6346 I heard it clear as day honestly

Demented Duskull I’d love it if Bongo Bongo (egh...kill that name...) were the Yiga Clan’s failed attempt to revive Demise with collected Malice. I mean...after Calamity? Anything’s possible tbh.

When you realize that he's basically drumming out an executioner's rhythm during the boss fight and intro though, the name kinda becomes less silly.

LordNul1 😨😰😱!!! (...that...is so freaking awesome. Tbh I haven’t fought that boss. I’m still stuck in the Forest Temple on my 3DS copy. Honestly I can’t stand OoT’s gameplay and even the port makes me terribly motionsick (and the translated dialogue for the narrative makes me roll my eyes and cringe. Idk. It just...doesn’t live up to the hype for me, and I grew up chomping at the bit to play it. But the only systems I had were the NES, gameboy color, gamecube, bought myself a wii as a teen, and a DS. My 3DS I got used...and haven’t been able to find any of the GBA Zelda titles to try playing on my old DS. Freaking annoying that they NEVER turn up in thrift stores...but I guess that’s testament for even FSA being a halfway decent Zelda despite its criticisms.)

The dude was executed by guillotine and had his corpse strung up by his ankles, let him have a silly nickname just to balance out the horror that is his existence lol

@@erica5624 same, the divine beasts kinda suck

I would of liked it more if the Tests of Strength were more like throwbacks to former Zelda mini bosses by battling mechanical versions

@@adeptmystlc9699 I do wish breath of the wild had more bosses, the tests of strength would be a great way to do that. I don't have an inherent issue with them as they are though, the combat is fun enough that i don't mind fighting the same enemies

They could easily port it though. Just like they died with nearly every other switch game.

@@VGail85 exactly. Nintendo reportedly has a dev tool that makes porting Wii U games to the Switch super easy. I'm genuinely surprised we haven't seen a Zelda HD collection or something similar yet

They can have all my monies.

@LazyTitan but they could port it. Im not expecting another remaster I just want a port.

Logan Soo... What health insurance covers that?

If you are on 1 HP in real life... watch a WW theory

More Minish Cap theories ! yes ! :D My first zelda game ever !

Mazaal, the fruit of the technological exchanges between the humans of the Wind Tribe and the Minish.

Bird Keeper Toby wasn’t expecting you here

Exactly! Also, Ancient Robots mine Timeshift Stone in Lanayru province in SS. The original Temple of Time located in Lanayru in SS. Who led the Ancient Robots? Who lived among them? Who worked in the original Temple of Time? Sheikah! Who made Mazaal? Who made the Ocarina of Winds? The Wind Tribe IS the Sheikah tribe! Who served the royal family & was buried in Kakariko graveyard? Sheikah! Also, Sharp & Flat, the composer brothers, served the royal family & were buried in Kakariko graveyard because they are Sheikah! They each hold a baton. 1 of those batons is the Wind Waker! Sun's Song does the same thing as Song Of Passing. Song Of Storms changes the weather like the Ballad Of Gales. Then there is the Ocarina Of Time itself, which looks very similar to the Ocarina Of Winds, & has similar abilities to the Wind Waker, & is confirmed to be made of... Timeshift Stone. The Sheikah always had this tech. The Sheikah made the Ancient Robots, Mazaal, Ocarina of Winds, Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, Gohdan, and much more... using Timshift Stone (SS), Master Ore (ALBW), & Luminous Stone (BotW)! The 3 Pure Metals.

@@AncientSkullKid The Wind Tribe isn't the Sheikah tribe ...

I agree. BotWs composer did so so many things on purpose its great.

This. I missed WW when I was a kid and started playing it this summer only to restart again on the Wii U version. I've said numerous time during the play-through, "Man, something about this game makes me think of BotW really hard." I thought maybe it was just the "freedom" until the Tower rises out of the water with those Sheikah designs. Mind blown. And then my mind was even more blown and I have only found one person online mention this on reddit.. When you are in Hyrule Castle and walk out the back door to the bridge, off in the distance is a tower. If you zoom in on the tower it has those very same designs. IMO, it looks like an early Sheikah tower but it is def of their making at the very least. This absolutely floored me. I've watched tons of Zeltik, NBC and various other videos and no one has mentioned this tower. Also the whole vibe of Hyrule when you walk outside, even in that little area, I get a BotW vibe. I also really love how much WW references OoT.

They’re both cel shaded too. So In a literal sense it is as well haha

Maybe if Spirit Tracks was never made I could see BoTW in the Adult Timeline, but New Hyrule is too different from BoTW Hyrule for me to see how they could connect. They're not on the same landmass, and they don't even use the Triforce symbol at all, seemingly forgetting about it. Not to mention, the Master Sword and Ganon have both been erased from existance. Idk, I need more convincing.

@Static Gaming Shhh, let people have their fun.

it seems that they're trying to connect botw to skyward sword hard

There's been signs of ancent tech since A Link to the Past but this was the first game that realy showed yeah someone with alot of knowlage and magic had been doing alot of shit behind the sceens

You must have been blessed

Jimmy D yeah I just played wind waker for the first time as well. This is my second favorite Zelda game only behind breath of the wild.

Silas Hayes what do you think about Wind Waker?

Was BotW your first Zelda? Was it weird playing a “normal” Zelda like Wind Waker afterwards?

I think that's a sort of wisdom energy. Makes sense considering where it's seen, and there being a blue god of wisdom.

Vetriphus Only makes sense since the director recycle stuff and sticks to lore. We are going to see recurring themes

Skyward Sword does have the gate of time so that can be possible

I can agree with this because I do remember there being another boss like that from Super Mario 64 in the pyramid.

@@ominousvirus5278 And the one in Mario Odyssey too.

@@Lectical Nice, I will look there too, and probably still want Zeltik's read on it all someday lol

Wait for the Sheikah space suit

It's implied that there are more but they live in hiding.

The Sheikah of Breath of the Wild are Hylians who have taken up Sheika practices of old. The last blood Sheikah was Impaz from Twilight Princess. Blood Sheikahs have Amber red eyes. New Sheikahs don't.

Sheikah are a group, not a breed. So with 1 sheikah you could train ten, wich could train thousands

@@YuhMovies Nah, they are an ethnicity. All Sheikah are Grey Haired and sometimes red eyed.

@@GhostWulf70792 They lost their red eyes by matting with Hylians.

Best game of all time no kap

JC Wind Waker is better

I know it's a really old comment, but given the TOTK trailer involving civilizations in the sky, there could very well be a connection.

That's Gerudo though

@SANS______ Arbiter is also an English word that means "a person who settles a dispute or has ultimate authority in a matter" and is synonymous with Judge

somegirlfromgermany That didn’t start the sheikah era. Wind Waker takes place after Ocarina of Time and in Ocarina they were mostly extinct already.

Seems like people forget about the ancient past in skyward sword, the shiekah had already mastered localized time travel in the form of time shift Crystal's thousands of years before sky loft was even raised into the sky. Hylia essentially gave birth to hylians, you should consider humans to be shiekah , developing technology and advancing architecture where the hylians are descendants of a god, living more virtuously building simple homes and brick castles

@@mrtoxicwasteland Which means it's also possible that despite appearing extinct in OOT, they may have just time jumped tf outa there

Now I need that

Finaly someone who's questioning his theory and one detail he missed in my opinion is the missing of the most important symbol the sheikah eye

There are also similarities with Oocca and Wind Tribe tech from TP and TMC. Mazaal per exemple.

aidan kavanagh Only things I remember from that game were figurines, a giant chuchu, and loss of sanity over a final missing type of kin stone.

Colleen Crews so true

Reincarnation sure, but he is not a descendant because that would have required Link TOO HAVE SEX before he battles Ganon. The Hero’s Shield is just for ceremony.

He is a descendant of another Hero before the Hero of Time. To be precise, it's the Hero from The Minish Cap. The Hero's Sword is in fact Smith's Sword and the Hero's Shield, the gift from Zelda during the Minish Festival.

'The Legendary Hero' in this game is the Hero of Time. They simply reused the designs in the Minish Cap a few years later because they just liked them. And as for Link procreating...yes. That would require that, there were a lot of girls in OoT and he was human after all.

@@captain_unhinged4372yes, it would. Nintendo knew what they were doing. :) they would not have had that item description otherwise. There were a lot of girls interested in him in that game after all.

Deadhand probably was not a Sheikah creation.

@@tanandalynch9441 most likely an indirect creation of the Sheikah. If they created Bongo Bongo in some type of way and Bongo Bongo created Deadhand, then it's just a causal relation type deal.

How did you watch the video in 2 minutes?

This is the most underrated comment I've seen in my life.

Same here. Keep it up Zeltik!
