The COMPLETE Breath of the Wild Timeline 

Ladies and gentlemen, it is finally here. And before you ask. Yes, I did all of this by myself. Breath of the Wild has many great stories in it that are sadly overshadowed by the main plot. Because of this, I sought out to make a video going over all of the stuff you might have missed in the game. Add another "layer" of depth to this game, to say the least. This is the end result after hours of diary reading, watching all the memories, and plenty of other things involved in this big video. Everything said in this video is canon to the game, but as a theorist it was my job to find out the best chronological order for these events to take place. It was tough...but I managed. Tons of time went into this, and because of that I DO have ads that play during the video. Don't worry, this isn't something I am going to start doing with all of my uploads. So nothing to stress over :) And finally, if Nintendo DOES claim this for copyright I WILL be reuploading the video. Considering all the time that went into this daunting task, not getting revenue would be a big stab in the back. So grab some popcorn, and enjoy the COMPLETE Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Timeline! -William

“In Rito village, one particular person got wind of this.” Good one.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the audio book.

Hudson would probably rebuild the entirety of Hyrule in a day if given enough wood lmao

Mipha: *Loves Link* Zelda: *Loves Link* Link: *Grunts*

**zelda’s birthday** Ganon: *arises* Ganon: Happy birthday, Zelda!

13:55 "Urbosa was worried about Zelda... Daruk was concerned for Link..." *and Revali was salty-*

Alternate "Speedrun" timeline: After awakening from his slumber, Lunk ignores the strange old man, making his way uncannily to the tower to unlock the shrines on the plateau. Using rather... unorthodox... strategies, he swiftly defeats them all, learns of his task, and sets his sights not on the humble village, but upon Hyrule Castle itself. Using the Stasis rune to unorthodox effect on a log, Lunk swiftly travels over most of Hyrule Field, landing in the castle itself. Gathering a few necessary pieces of equipment, he makes his way to the evil at the heart of the castle. Battling all four of Ganon's blight minions which had conquered the divine beasts in a boss rush, he finally lays the killing blow on Ganon... with a Mop. All this... within a half hour.

Zelda: *Has a birthday* Ganon: Damn, what a coincidence!

The speedrun timeline: King Rhoam: go defeat gano- Link: done Zelda: do you remember me? Link: lmao no, i met your dead dad though.

Turns out this isn't the "big project" in two days he uploads an 8-hour long video of collecting all the korok seeds.

32:52 Last I checked the hero goes to cut grass and snowboard for months on end before getting there. You can't skip such an important part of the story!

Revali: Ha! I could easily defeat Calamity Ganon! Revali: *Dies to easiest blight*

Well, that was quite the journey. Nothing new or shocking but that wasn't the intent: it's just the entire story of Breath of the Wild put together into a single almost hour-long video. Great work!

“Reunited with the princess, both would be relieved to know that their jobs were finally over...” (54:44) Yeeaaahhhh, about that...

Maybe if they stop calling the princess "Zelda" and ban the name "Link" to be used in Hyrule ever again, Ganon will be confused and the curse lifted... have they ever thought of that?

You know I’m watching this and when you mentioned that Zelda never grieved after her mother’s death I find it weird that we only see one point in the timeline that she emotionally breaks and shortly after awakens the sacred power within her. Could it be possible that the reason her powers were held back because of her pent up grief of her mother’s death?

Until Zombie Ganondorf was discovered in the best creepiest LoZ trailer ever made

Some day I want someone to make ONE video like this but the entire timeline.

When I played the original game in the 80's, I had no idea what was to come. I never even knew of the in between games but when I saw Breath of the Wild, I got it and even in my 60's it was great fun. I hope to see part two soon. The open world format is very appealing.

I'd never heard about the giant octorock, that sounds like it could've been a cool fight

If I remember correctly, back around 2012 there was a survey that asked gamers which video game country/kingdom they preferred to live in if they could. Hyrule was the overwhelming response.

Damn.. That crying scene with Zelda hit a lil bit harder than it usually does :'( I guess thats what you get when someone brings out all the story elements huh?

“And hyrule would finally be relieved from this evil” Me in 2020: the evil will come back sooner than you expect

“Naboris spooked her sand seal, Patricia” was my favorite sentence in this video

* talking about zeldas early life * *10,000 YEARS AGO*

"Both would be relieved to know, that their jobs, were finally over..." Me: Hahaha there's a sequel in the making it ain't over yet you two.

No one: Link's thoughts toward Mipha: "... the fish smell doesn't really bother me." Zelda: "...Dude."

When you're watching botw videos with auto-generated subtitles: "And they uncovered the chicest slate"

Watched the whole thing and I just realized the Master Sword wasnt used for the final blow to kill DB Ganon

Watching this makes going back to the castle and slaying Ganon that much more satisfying, js.

Me: about to sleep Botw full timeline me: I don’t need sleep, I NEED ANSWERS

44:51 “Thank the Player” I didn’t know that Zelda broke the forth wall

You forgot the part where Link traveled across Hyrule completing all the Shrines to get his tunic.

this makes me so emotional, such a deep story. also medoh was my last divine beast, lol. i was too op for windblight ganon

52:00 "Time to take the fight to Hyrule Castle" *Reving of the master cycle's engine

“It would revive him if he ever fell in battle...” me: or you know... -flashbacks of shield breaking during shield surfing-

Almost 1 h long. Respect man.

Can we just take a minute to recognize how much strength it takes to be able to so quickly enact that plan in the middle of such grief and devastation? Zelda deserves a lot of credit for being able to pull herself together in order to get the job done at 17 no less. This was by far one of the best written Zelda's in the series and this really did feel as much her story as it did Link's which I really appreciate. I hope that continues into the next game.

When I was supposed to go get shock arrows, I literally just teleported to gurudo town and bought some. 😂

This is wonderful. You've essentially turned the story of Breath of the Wild into a mini-movie. It's all the details from the game, but pieced together like this in story-format is just delightful. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!!

Dude your dedication to Zelda is why you're my favorite Zelda youtuber, the quality content is why I'm subscribed

54:45 Ganondorf: I’m gonna have to stop you right there

if anyone was wondering "whats the music at the start" is Twilight Princess Symphonic Movement

Dude you deserve so much more, you really are my favorite Zelda botw youtuber, thanks :D

Is this you your project?? Its so epic thank you sooo much

You gotta be freaking kidding me. This game and the story Nintendo has created is just absolutely incredible. The word masterpiece is thrown around a lot with video games. But this game literally is one. I’m still blown away. Kudos to you for putting in all this effort to make this video for us. Thank you so much.

Mipha has the saddest story. Seeing a very close friend slowly lose their personality and knowing she had to say goodbye to her little brother, then sacrificing herself for her people and the rest of the world.

Just one complaint: You said Ravioli’s name wrong

What does everyone have against zelda's voice it brings out her PERSONALITY

"Some shrines were hidden behind complicated puzzles" Shows the easiest shrine puzzle

To continue, Link and Zelda continued to search for the source of the calamity, knowing that this was not truly Ganon, and stumbled across his almost lifeless body far under the castle. Under further investigation, Link accidentally releases a far greater evil that threatens Hyrule once again.

This is a..... Master piece.

Oh, so this is how you get 10,000 hours out of Botw.

Thunder blight Gannon... oh god the flashbacks

21:00 in can tell the way link was walking and looking at her he wanted to say something like its okay youll get it one day or something

why is this video not monetized when 10 hours of nyan cat is!

Wow, I can imagine how much effort into this video judging by the intro. Thanks for the great content, keep it up!

Not a single ad through the whole hour long video. Respect.

"Their jobs were finally done" Ganon (hiding under hyrule): not so fast.

**violently attempts to like 237 times because this is great and deserves more views**

Fi be like: Hylia, there is a 97% chance of saving Master Link through the Shrine of Resurrection

And it's a happy ending for Link and Zelda ! "Breath of the wild 2 has entered the chat"

Man watching the ending sequence after the sequel announcement game me chills.

2 years later “Ah shit here we go again”

One thing always stays true, Link must always awaken from slumber before his adventure. I’m starting to believe all of the timelines are different dreams of either Link or Zelda.

I GOT LITERAL CHILLS WHILE WATCHING THIS

Link: **dies** Zelda: Im about to save this mans whole career

I'm not doing anything today so... *Gets popcorn*

Anyone who thinks BOTW has a weak plot should watch this. Its the richest zelda yet

me after watching : great, now lets wait until BotW 2 comes out so the full version with BotW2 in it will be upload.

You forgot to mention the timeline where he exploits life and beats Ganon in 5 minutes from exiting the Shrine of Resurrection.

Funny how popular BOTW still is

Props my man 👊

Is it ever explained how Zelda never aged for 100 years?

We all know the canon events are the *speedrun*

”Free from this evil” boy only if you knew

This was a great summary. You did a wonderful job. I do have one...criticism? You mentioned that Lady Urbosa's reason for joining the champions was for revenge, but that is entirely inaccurate. In fact, it is just wrong. If you recall, after you save Lady Urbosa from her divine beast, she gifts Link her power and then sends him away. Once she positions Nabooris and has a moment to reflect upon the upcoming battle, she thinks back to the legends of Ganondorf who assumed the body of a Gerudo and sullied the pride of her people with his evil. She then says, "I like that, Now I can take this battle personally." This was some 100 years AFTER she accepted Zelda's proposition and became the Gerudo Champion and it was very nearly an afterthought. To say that her reasons for accepting the noble task of defending the kingdom were based in revenge makes her selflessness and devotion to Hyrule, her people and her friends seem...nonexistent. Lady Urbosa deserves better than that. Her memory shouldn't be that of a woman thirsty for revenge. Honestly, though, that would the only thing that I would change about this documentary you have artfully created. Well done. 😊

This made me feel like I was watching a real movie about it. Good job!

is it weird that I cried when I watched this? and sometimes when I play the game... IT'S SO GOOD! DONT JUGE ME.

I know this is from two years ago, but I wanted to thank you and tell you how great this is. I felt every moment of that. Great job!

Thanks so much for this! getting it "in order" was so much better! great job.

Both would be relieved to know, their jobs would be finally over..... Or so they thought..

30 minutes onward is decisions made by the player... U see It says link made conversations with an old man after leaving the shrine of resurrection But actually no Instead link climbed a tree fell off the tree and died 30 seconds after waking up and that’s the end of the story

The wild journey of the subtitles using a different word everytime Pura is mentioned

... RATED E10... my god what a game, when you go in that castle, people DIED there, VIOLENTLY MURDERED! damn...

Wow, I actually just watched an hour long video on the plot of a game I've played three times. Incredible job putting everything together. Engrossed me so much it didn't even feel like and hour!

Still holds up 2 years later. The quality and effort put into this video is beyond astounding. Exemplary job m8, I fucking love this. I really do. I look forward to your take on Age of Calamity Complete Timeline. Cheers

Demise: I will come back! And this world will suffer forever! Link: Hold my master sword...

Wow dude nearly 1 hour video?? And it’s edited so well i can’t believe you would go this far for youtube thanks

Don't ever feel bad for putting ads in your videos!!!! You deserve the revenue from them, look at how much time and effort goes into your videos! You DESERVE that money, and if watching a couple ads helps you make what you deserve, then your viewers should be more than happy to watch them. Great video, it's very apparent how much hard work and effort went into this. Superb!!!!!

The entirety of Hyrule when Ganon comes back: Ah S**t here we go again

I already knew the story of breath of the wild but hearing the amazing way you tell absolutely made my day.

Wow amazing job on the vid!!!!! Let’s give a round of applause for NintendoBlackCrisis 👏👏👏👏👏

Wow this was amazing, this defiantly deserves more recognition for all the work you put in!!

I hope you reach 1 million subs one day :) you deserve to have like 1000 million subs tbh.

This story is just so beautiful I love every single part of this game and even tho I have more than 600 played hours into this game this made me appreciate it even more ❤️. This video is really well made it's a shame I only found it two years later

Link could've reloaded from a previous save, when Ganon took over.

I finally played BoTW about 2 years ago and I found this channel. It was so awesome playing through the game and watching these incredible videos side by side. I’m so freakin excited to do it again with TotK. Thanks for all the amazing content!

What an amazing timeline! Thank you so much for taking the precious time to write such a great video! ❤
