Unsettling Ghost Towns Across Hyrule (Tears of The Kingdom Lore) 

What other Ghost Towns would you like to see covered? (P.S Happy Halloween!)

BOTW and TOTK always make me feel so sad 😞 I wish we could have seen it before all the destruction 😞

One detail not talked about enough imo, and that I find a little disturbing is the realization that every guardian you find out in the wild is responsible for whomever was “exterminated” in its vicinity. So if there’s one nearby a local village in the outskirts of Hyrule, you know everyone there died by It’s hand. Most of those Hylians among others in those villages have been long gone for 100 years now and all that’s left is the shell of those buildings. Meanwhile the sheikah terminator in question is just out there somewhere. wandering on autopilot, scanning for its next target. Destroying it, and the beast who reprogrammed it, is retribution.

What do you think of the developers’ suggestion that Raru/Sonia’s founding of Hyrule was actually a RE-founding of Hyrule? It fixes a lot of the plot holes I think.

I always love zelda vids with a more somber or horror theme, so I would absolutely adore more like this! Somehow, I find them incredibly calming to watch, while they also completely draw my attention in and I watch them in one sitting and often rewatcht hem while drawing.

Another good Halloween Ghost / Zombie / Mummy story is the lore surrounding the Gibdo of the Gerudo Region and their connection to the Gerudo Ancient Prison Ruins...SPOOKKY!

11:37 Oooooh, that is dirty, Hyrule Gamer. But I won’t be fooled. I know full well that down one of those wells holds a Stalnox! You won’t get me this time!!!

Goponga and the other small villages in the Lanayru Wetlands, I feel, probably had lots of Zora living with the Hylians as a chain of fishing villages. With how much water there is, the Zora would be close to the domain and very comfortable. Also, I believe that the settlements on the Great Plateau perhaps belonged to monks or priestesses' of Hylia. I think that the plateau was like a park?) where they lived there and tended to the land and the temple. There would have to be some guards who tended the the heavy gate and patrol the parameter from time to time, but they probably lived in the Gatepost Ruins which is right across the road from the from the entryway.

I’m simple, I see Hyrule gamer and look to see a red bar under it. If it isn’t there, I put a new crack in my screen from the sheer force and speed

14:18 Well with the path opened back up and zelda's experience with the past that might change

Considering its design in _Age of Calamity,_ I couldn't help but wonder if Goponga Village was possibly a Zora outpost or secondary village that was built to ease trade between the Hylians and the Zora.....Especially since the owner of the shop there is a Zora. But, that's if you even take the canonicity of that game at face value. Some say yes. Some say no. I know the game was developed by a third party company, but the creators and developers of _Breath of the Wild_ and _Tears of the Kingdom_ did put in their own input, ideas and so-on into the story and over-all design of the levels, including the villages as shown in the game, so there's some significance there....If it is, it's a case of yet another split in the timeline due to the time travel shenanigans. Either way, it's an interesting thing to think about!

I love the ruins. There is something melancholic about walking through them. Like visiting your old school, or a grandparent's home. You remember things you cannot relive, due to the passage of time, or just other circumstances. I think this is the theme of both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. They're about learning from the past. Link lost so much about his past, and Zelda is sent back into the past, and Ganon, a wound from ages past, seeks to have them suffer just like their ancestors did. But in a world of ruins, life still thrives, with communities being created, new life being made...a metaphor for new life, in spite of death. 🥺🩵

I'm surprised that you didn't show The Temple of Time pre-Calamity from Age of Calamity. It is pretty interesting. As for Mabe village having different architecture in BotW/TotK compared to Age of Calamity, it is possible that Mabe Village and a lot of other areas in Central Hyrule were re-fortified at some point.

I love all the dark ominous vids like this and zeltik one about creepy characters. I have enjoyed these so much! Also, I can’t wait for vids for the next game, as we are probably go8ng to a new map. Also (again) I have binged watched both Halloween specials! They are amazing!❤❤

I love Akkala because of the autumnal forest there. I’d actually be totally open to Nintendo making one more game in this particular version of Hyrule, if they made it so that there were more settlements and villages, added variety to the Depths (maybe massive, caved in openings and newly unearthed ruins), and new sky islands. Something that shows how Hyrule moves forward after Ganondorf’s defeat and becomes a true kingdom again.

Nice to see that you covered Mabe Village, the most underrated ruin, and the one with the worst attack. I still wish that maybe with the recall tears or something we could see small areas of land from the “founding” of Hyrule. Then we could maybe have a better look at some ruins pre-calamity

I love that you’re still doing these videos

So there's something that the high ground can't beat.

Congrats on 150k🎉 you deserve it for how much work you put into this videos❤

I miss pondos lodge

I always like talking and hearing about the history of past hyrule from the wild games, this was fantastic to watch from both videos! I wish we could have seen the ghost towns before the calamity/upheaval, but I'm always amazed by how much detail they put into exploring these towns. Appreciate the content as always

I absolutely LOVE these horror and spooky videos. Please please make more like this!

You should talk about random small villages, like the small buildings in north Hyrule field.

If Nintendo revisits this version of Hyrule in a future title (which I expect), I hope that it's set a few hundred years in the future and that some of these places have been rebuilt, and new places built-up in other areas.

aaaaand that's another great halloween special concluded! also congrats on 150k subs! one place which i think has some cool lore is the lover's pond and its depths counterpart, the ancient observation deck. firstly there is what is the place and also what is the untold tale of the two lover's whose poes are together in the depths pond (also why is one bigger? was one a zonai and the other hylian?) anyway it could be worth a check out and speculation

Happy Halloween 👻 🎃 💀

HaHA! You hit 150K!!! CONGRATS!! and CHEERS!!

Happy Halloween Hyrule Gamer!

This special is lit

Amazing video, also Mabe Village was in Link's Awakening!

Unmarked locations? Yes, please!

I miss snow bowling. cool video !

That was very interesting. I'm going to recheck a couple of those locations

Great Halloween special!

Loving these!!!!!

Wow, feel bad for Pondo but happy my suggestion got put in a vid! Great video!

Happy Halloween HG!

Great video bro

I'm back to watch your videos now that I don't have to worry about spoilers anymore lol. Cheers

“Monsters? Snow way.”

Happy Samhain!

It’s Halloween everyday for me so give me more of this spooky content!

Pondo's home was probably destroyed to prevent ruby farming. Haha

day 41 of mentioning that on 6/6/2023 hyrule gamer made a video where, at 43.46, he spent 12 seconds simping about the ancient gerudo soldiers

They should have put remains of ancient village with easter eggs and mysteries in the depths (no zonnai related like mines)

perfect video for Halloween :)

I choose to see the mabe village ruins as a traveling rest stop, with an inn where after hard adventures, heroes could stop in to rest for the night and dream of another journey.

If you're running out of music, you should use the time song from dancing line. It's a good song the is mystical and provides good atmosphere

But there was a guardian in the Tabantha Village ruins in BotW. Granted, it was killed, but it was likely the cause of the village’s demise

Fantastic video

I’m curious about the ruined settlement between Fort Hateno and Hateno Village.

Nice vid

Mabe village in age of calamity was part of the ranch and was a farming village probably the royal families food source

Happy Halloween 🎃👻 🔼

Snow bowling was a thing!? I should do that once I've finished totk.

What if the original residents of these places fled to other lands outside of hyrule and some may have attempted to return after botw but couldn't Cross the giant geographic features that seperate Hyrule from the bordering lands

Oohh spooky

Not a spooky one but lore surrounding hateno village,it's my favorite one that I want to vacation there with my bow and relax (botw Kickstart my desire to learn archery)

I love your account thank youuu🙇🏻‍♀️🩵

It would be safe to say that Goponga Village was destroyed by a Guardian Stalker, since one is found in BotW walking around the Wetlands very close to this village, am I right?

AoC didn't have the 100 yr time skip so that Mabe Village might be the original. In BotW 100yrs passed and in that time they might have tried to rebuild the village after it was attacked using stone instead of wood but as we saw it was not enough.

Love this❤❤❤❤ 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

Perhaps in future games they will be rebuilt?

Ah yes, 2 views and seven likes-IS RU-vid DRUNK???

day 36 of mentioning that on 6/6/2023 hyrule gamer made a video where, at 43.46, he spent 12 seconds simping about the ancient gerudo soldiers 1

YAY

HG, has anyone ever mention you sound like @thoughty2???

👀

Akala citadel was so disappointing. I was really hoping for a chance to explore inside it. They had the assets from AoC. Such a waste

The reason I’m deactivate in the Hebra region is because I wanted to go bowling and shield surfing but I lost my was and fell into a deep slumber, then I met my best friend Link who I play laser tag with when we see each other Ahh fun times

💀💀💀👻👻👻

Does make you wonder about the lack of Zonai ruins on the plateau? Also just adjacent to Hyrule Castle and the Fairy Fountain is the Rauru Settlement Ruins, which I don't even remember being in BOTW?

Repent and believe the gospel! Jesus died for our sins and rose 3 days later so we could be forgiven of our sins and be gifted with everlasting life. Put your faith in Jesus and follow him. Life is short, please make the right choice today.
