What is Skyward Sword's Ancient Cistern? (Zelda Theory) 

Real NBC live!

I was in the intro! I’m SuperECCE

Is the Zelda minecraft server good?

You know what they make me think feel like the what happened to hollow knight

How do I get to the server

It wouldn't be the first use of religious imagery and ideals in a Nintendo game, nor even in the Zelda game franchise specifically

Col Bauer yeah. I heard that the Triforce is based on Christianity!

@@isaacmoraesdornelasdesouza4830 The triune aspect of the Three Golden Goddesses does strongly resemble the Holy Trinity found in Christianity, but is found elsewhere in other cultures and religions. The symbol used for the Triforce can actually be seen on centuries-old Samurai armour, and was the emblem of one of the great houses of feudal Japan, or at least a very similar triangular design

There was also Islamic prayers in OOT fire temple

⁠​⁠it could be based on Zoroastrianism, actually, as well. Additionally there are the symbols of the vulknut and treskalian that both predate Christianity and both clearly serve ritual purposes that are unclear to modern researchers.

I think is because the controls

while I personally love it I don't think that people can forget that "gem" :p

@@mango3441 I feel like the hatred toward the controls is unnecessary. Sure, they aren't perfect, but they aren't as bad as they could have been. People just hate cause they want to hate

@@wimpywater i used to play a lot with the controller, it was kinda difficult because it would go to somewhere else or the shield wouldn't appear at the right time. I love this game and it's things. I'm just saying that. People say it has bad controls, not gonna lie the wii remote isn't perfect but hey the game is pretty awesome

Don't just say people like to hate because is only a fact. The control isn't as perfect as we wanted it but the game is good. I always complain about the control when i play because it would get on my nervers when link goes farther than i wanted him to go. I don't complain about the sword but i do complain when he has to jump or take the shield because he wouldn't take it and would take damage instead. Is something everyone complained about, the wii controller isn't that good for games like zelda, yeah is cool for playing the role of the sword but the other functions aren't that good. You always have to recalibrate the wii remote so it works but eventually will fail again. And let's not forget, link is left handed but because of the wii remote, he is right handed

oh yeah

Yes

i keep telling people that BOTW2 will link back to b4 Skyward Sword. This link in BOTW is the Hero of Legend that came back through time to seal away the original Demise B4 the time of Skyward Sword. Zelda even says in Skyward Sword the Goddess gave the original hero a sailcloth. what Link do we know that was given a sailcloth? link from BOTW. maybe all the trials are the Goddess testing Link to make sure hes the one true Hero to send back in time to change History. everything thats ever happened in the series is a result of Future Link going back in time and changing history as the Goddess knows it. she spent millennia's watching and being able to do nothing as Demise destroyed and conquered the world. she was eventually able to find the one true Hero that she could send back in to the past to change the future. putting Demise and his reincarnation's of Ganon in a time loop that will forever keep them in control. Much like what Dr. Strange did with Dormammu. But instead of it being just a few minutes of a time loop it's going to be the entire Legend of Zelda franchise as the time loop. this will be the final game in the franchise timeline as we know it with Demise and Ganon. Nintendo will only be making games that fall in the middle of the timeline from now on.

@@st.ashhole4192 idk about the end part but this could hold some weight

@@st.ashhole4192 wow

One

Nah Twilight Princess's Lake bed temple is probably the best wasser temple in the series

Rage Master hmm I don’t agree

Ummm what about vah ruta that is by far the best water dungeon

@@linkalot7415 nah it was too short, the puzzles were easy and it is a water dungeons in the same way Vah Rudania is a fire dungeon. All the dungeons in breath of the wild are by far the worst dungeons in the series

So... a very old toilet?

Lord Tullus 9 no a cistern that is ancient

@@Littleton3513 making a joke. Thank you

Thomas Hussey Yeah it does!

100% agree, this game was amazing in so many ways, it really doesn't deserve the hate it gets.

Afonso Amaro It’s called the Zelda Cycle.. When BotW2 drops, there will be forums plagued with hatred over the original BotW.

Ninjaboi1 it is reverting them to an ancient time, and some pieces of Bokoblin can be reanimated. This version of Link is in the present and has no ancient version of himself, so the timestone would have nowhere to revert him. At least that’s how I thought of it there could be a much better explanation that I haven’t heard.

It could also be that the master sword grants him protection

my personal theory is that it's because of the monsters' connection to demise, with the time-shift stone's area being sacred or something due to its connection to hylia. i'm not an expert so correct me if i'm wrong on any of the bits of lore

Because he is from the present, unlike the monsters

My theory is **SPOILERS** since the final fight has Link go back in time and very well could be the ancient hero he's supposed to be imitating in the present, he is caught up in a loop that allows him to exist in both the past and presence. Because of this connection to the Time Gate, the time stones don't register him passing from past to present, he just *is*.

I agree, people always look for something to complain about. Same with the ds games: they're for kids, of course the dungeons are not super complicated lol. I never played a wii game in my life until like a month ago when I ordered skyward sword, a motion plus and borrowed someone's wii, and even I got used to the motion controls quickly!

@Writer's Block Well I can tell you I never had any of those issues. The worst I ever had to do was recallibrate it if I started flailing too wildly (I tend to panic and button mash/wildly swing the wiimote when surrounded by enemies lol) or unplug and replug the nunchuck if my control stick started drifting, which a problem I sometimes have with other games too, Twilight Princess included. And both of those issues were rare and didn't impact my enjoyment of the game at all. It could be that your MotionPlus attachment was faulty rather than the controller if you say your controllers weren't registering it, and that could have contributed to your bad experience with the game. Just because Nintendo isn't known for faulty hardware doesn't mean it doesn't happen. If you think the game itself is the problem, then shouldn't the issues be more universal than they are? It's not like the game's code changes from disk to disk. I think the more likely culprit is that the MotionPlus tech wasn't as consistent as other Nintendo tech is known for being and that a vocal minority has been speaking up about personal issues with it. Most people who have neutral to good experiences with a game aren't going to go around singing praises unless they see a reason to. Typically if something meets expectations people just don't think twice. That's what makes me highly doubt it was an issue with the game itself. Having a setup that doesn't allow you to utilize the MotionPlus as intended (limited space for example) could also have impacted its functioning, although probably less likely in the way you described with it not even registering. I do agree that a Switch remaster of the game would give people a chance to try the game again since motion control tech has improved since Skyward Sword was originally created. But I stand by what I said about people's bad experiences with the game's playability largely coming down to faulty hardware and/or user error.

I definitely had technical issues that were frustrating as heck, but they didn't keep me from enjoying the game- my setup definitely wasn't perfect but like, *it was the best I could do*, had to recalibrate a lot and it didn't always work, but it doesn't change that it was a good game, just like joycon drift doesn't change the fact BOTW is a good game

@@felixc543 yeah, that's totally valid. I definitely think there were likely widespread technical challenges with the MotionPlus (usually pretty minor), but like you said it didn't make it unplayable/unenjoyable. The motion controls weren't perfect. Nintendo was trying something new. But the game certainly isn't unplayable by any means, and in the rare cases that it is unplayable, it's more than likely due to a bad piece of hardware or user error and shouldn't be a reflection on how good or bad the game is.

I really liked the game and agree it gets a bad rap it doesn't deserve, BUT can testify that in my experience the controls were lousy bordering on impossible. I'm left handed on top of that, and there were a couple of sections that were so so frustrating I had to take a few weeks off playing. I haven't replayed it, either, though I would if they did a port or remaster for the switch

Gotta love RU-vid

Yeah. That would be awesome.

When that happens naturally it will be on the Switch, hopefully the controls will be better, and have exploration as well as some real side-quests

@LilDemona why real side quests?

@@MissTHDo1 Normally in Zelda games you get side quests, real ones which will get you a great item or a powerful sword, not like Skyward Sword where it's that stupid gratitude crystal fetching

@@LilDemona the side quests themselves aren't bad, actually. to me ss has some of the best side quests in the entire franchise. but the gratitude crystal thing is really bad

Cool! Are you attempting any theming or just using the name?

ラベンダーLunarHorizons my GameCube town is called Hyrule:)

@@felixc543 I'm not actually 100% sure yet. I think I'm going to make some ruins that are somewhat related to the Spring of Power. :)

@@grcae that sounds really cool!

This is an old comment but I named mine skyloft as well! :D

Ava Furr could you imagine? Like the spirit gets passed down and is tied to demises curse

Abi Hayward Yeah, that’s what I’m assuming. lol originally I was just saying that as a joke, but it honestly is kind of possible.

Ava Furr idk if there would be a way to prove it

Abi Hayward True.

I have a theory as to why Epona is absent in Breath of the Wild, and only unlocked via an amiibo. I’m aware that isn’t what you are talking about, and I apologize for changing the subject, but hear me out! Epona exists as all the wild horses that roam Hyrule. She is the same breed, or rather they are the same breed as Epona! Same build, same features, they all can be tamed and bonded with Link easily. That’s how I forgave Nintendo by locking lovely Epona behind an amiibo that I could have gotten when they weren’t so expensive...but that’s beside the point.

I'm glad your first Water Temple wasn't THE Water Temple from Ocarina of Time. That temple makes me mad lol unlike the Cistern

Same

Same

SAME

Just discovered it during quarantine. First video I watch after my binge. hahaha

I pity you Jk I actually wish I was you SO. MANY. THEORIES.

Beth Platte u turned 10?

People can beat Zelda games without parental help?

@@goggles8691 like parents would help. My mother would say "I have no clue" and leave xd

why dont you do a theory on skyward

Oh hi Hyrule Gamer!

Oh wow didnt expect seeing you here this far down at the comments😅 Love your videos and keep it up!

@@fortniteconnoisseur_ Hii

@@adamH.1 Hey there

@@HyruleGamer wow thanks for replying!

Sorry, the Nirvana Buddhists seek does not smell like Teen Spirit.

Link can plant a house! Link can build a tree! Link dont even care, triforce he has three, HE SAID!

PebblePlays I just got it also

How is it? It's one of my favorites

Harribo I think it’s awesome! But I just got to the forest thing and can’t find the kikwi that is apparently in a tree or something

@@pebbleplays5335 just use the dowsing and when it's at its lousest roll into a tree or hit a mushroom where its beeping! Hope this helps!

Harribo Thank you!

Yes! Someone gets the music!!!

Lord Giblets I came here to comment exactly this. I’ve noticed however, many of Americans pronounce French names as they are spelled. I once heard Pelletier pronounced as “Pell-ah-teer” which is completely wrong might I add. It’s pronounced “Pell-chay.” Just as Batreaux is pronounced “Bah-Troh.”

Yeah, that happens a lot. There's a town in Ohio called Versailles, and in Arkansas there's one named El Dorado and one named Stuttgart. None of them are pronounced as they would be in the original language. Slightly amusingly, the city of Pierre, South Dakota is pronounced "pee air" by anyone NOT from that state, as they call it "peer."

@@Bigmikeystan Why is "tier" pronounced "chay". Shouldn't it be "tye" as in "t" followed by a "yes" without the "s"? Pelltye.

@@HighFiveTheHorizon French here, and Pelletier is pronounced pel - le - tee - é.

As someone from Louisiana I'm so glad you said this!

That's a cool theory. Makes sense.

Rafael Schaffner Thank You!

well if you look at the close to biblical nature of skyward sword you can tell demise is supposed to be the devil of loz which is another explanation of emerging from a fissure which actually comes from hell if demise is the devil and ghirahim could easily be the antichrist which would explain the inverted triforce symbol btw i did not think of this here it is. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JGvEJIc3Exc.html&ab_channel=CommonwealthRealm

dark life very good point!

@@ericcanales1233 thanks also i do have a theory on both skyward sword & tmc which is on the picori

Yes... admittedly I know how I say it is wrong but I'm so used to saying it like that 🤣 glad you enjoyed the video!
