Zelda Theory - The DARKEST Side Of The Twilight Magic 

"Do you understannnnd?" "And the eruptions were more and severeeee". "Link retrieves the second shadow, from Midnaaa."

Thank you for having me on!

The Dark Interloper cutscene in twilight princess proved that ANYBODY can be corrupted. From someone close to the gods, like Link. To somebody who's extremely innocent, like Illia. The reason Link doesn't get corrupted by the fused shadows is not because he has the triforce of courage, but because he never actually touches them. Look carefully to the moments where he is in contact with them, his hands make them defy gravity (like every zelda item in every game Link obtains). And instead of putting the fused shadows in his pockets, like the other items he obtains, midna takes the fused shadow piece instead. Also, the dark twili magic we see in twilight princess, the same magic used to turn the creatures and the twili into shadow beasts, turn link into a wolf, and midna to her smaller form, is not twili magic. That magic comes from Ganondorf, which his powers come from the triforce of power. Now, yeah, it could be just twili magic on steroids. But not native twili magic. But with all that aside. Great theory!

Dark doesn't necessarily mean evil. Zant also had access to Ganondorf's magic, perhaps he used this to curse Midna and turn her into an imp and turn other twili into shadow beasts.

Twilight Princess is by far my favorite and the best Zelda game ever!!! (This is not counting Breath of the Wild)

"sol" is another word for sun, and they are like the light realm's sun. nice job nintendo

I think the reason why Link and Midna are not corrupted is simple. The fused shadow is just an object of power. Power has no alignment. It is just the ability to do a task. The reason it corrupts others is because the nature of the object is to provide additional and increadible power with no need to earn it. Imagine if, by putting on a ring, you could lift mountains and other increadible feats. Now answer honestly...would that power go to your head? Be truly honest. If presented with such power...would you not use it to solve all the problems before you? What would you do when people did not agree with your way of solving problems? That is a problem in itself. Would you use the power given to you to solve that problem as well? Answer honestly now.

I agree with Link not becoming corrupted by the Fused Shadow being related to the triforce of courage. It's just like it is him not becoming a transparent spirit while in the twilight, but rather a beast (yet of sane mind) instead. Additionally, Midna is the 1 holding on to the fragments of the fused shadow, not Link. and while I do agree that the Twili may be more potent at handling the fused shadows magic (as to not be immediately corrupted upon contact)..I do recall Midna being overwhelmed when attempting to use the whole thing (tho I might remember that wrong)

Did you know that hylians can be transformed into Shadow beasts.

Nintendo be like: when the fans know more about the lore then the company

Awesome! TP is my favorite Zelda!

7:31 Link dabs

Could you do a theory on why the twilight realm is so creepy or why the music just doesn't sound right

//a harmless spider// It's a metre high... a metre high -- spider !

You drag out the last part of your sentences, and it sounds a bit annoying.

good content man but you need to stop dragging out the last word of each sentence, made it kind of hard to watch. Good content though

One thing. Where does it say that Yeta has control over ice when she is not the abomination that is Blizzeta? Yeta is just a yeti, who wears an armless sweater, after all, and last I checked, as far as I know, yetis do not have control over ice. Yeta would only have ice powers if/when she is Blizzeta and Blizzeta was killed in Twilight Princess, and never appeared in another game again, which is good for me.

I like your theories. But I have a question about how you deliver it. Do you talk like that in real life or is it just for the videos? You talk a somehwhat high then a sharp drop at the end. Sounds like a news anchors I've heard before. Bugs me a bit but not enough to not watching your videos. This is maybe the 6th one I've watched and I just heard about you about an hour or so ago from commonwealth realm.

Although your voice sounds funky, this video is pretty good

Awesome video! ^^It makes me wonder though, how do heart containers work?

Your theories make my favorite games better on a whole other level

Cool video! I like how it was longer then usually.

THE TWILIIIIIIIII

I love your channel !! Your theory are so interesting !!!PS:Sorry for my bad English xp

Hey man your videos are so interesting keep it up!

#hyROOOL

Yo, Doc! Great theory!!! Also, cool collab!!! Cool to see you work with GameOverJesse!!! Me next?

This is so good it all makes sense good job 😃

That thing you do where you stretch out the last word of a sentence is so weird. But great videos

majoras mask vs fused shadow

Willy : everyone that touches it becomes evil Link : Am I A Joke to you

Twilight does not technically mean “darkness” it means the soft glowing light of the sun when it’s behind the clouds due to the separation and refraction of the Suns UV rays

Not to mention the fact that Link doesn't DIRECTLY touch any of the Twili objects. Any of the corrupted bosses did, where Link didn't. It floats in his hand by Midna's Magic. She makes sure HE doesn't touch it and SHE does. Link could've easily been corrupted, as seen by his drunken, lustful look when Zant comes to tell him about the Dark Interlopers. Dark Link is NOT a metaphor in the cutscene, but a literal. Dark Link is the faint darkness in Link's heart. His doubts, his fears, his loss. This is where shadow magic gets it's power. From the insecurities of the wielder or affected. Shadow magic has been omnipresent in LoZ, but unseen or easily depressed by Link himself.

on the road to 50,000 hope u make it

Finally someone that pronounces Twili properly!

Hello Dr. Wily, are you purposly talking the way you do for your channel or is that the normal way you speak or read out loud? Just curious. Thanks for the vids.

The darkest of their magic is the stuff to make you suffer nightmares after a particular cutscene.

DAB when link turns to dust

Cool video and no dislikes! Congrats

As always you display a brain teasing theory. Good Job!

0:00 THE TWILIGHT.

Almost done with SS and after that I'm playing Twilight Princess

cool theory plz make more

I'm so sorry but I can't listen to his voice its so weird.. subscribed for the info though

i think that the triforce,the fused shadow and any other strong powersources in the legend of zelda series are like tecnology you can use it for good,for evil but it can even hurt yourself

4 shards 4 links 4 swords 3 peices of triforce 4: AM I A JOKE TO YOU

The reason nether of them turn is that 1 look at links hands when he gets the fused shadow,it is magically floating above his hands and 2 link doesn't even put it in his pocket midna takes it and the only reason that she doesn't get corrupted is...because she is a twili.And though she might get corrupted over time it doesn't happen right away........

4:08 Hinted at? When you first enter the twilight, the triforce glows and scares away the beast then transforms you into a wolf. In Wind Waker, the King of Red Lions tells you that you found all the pieces of the Triforce of Courage. Still another interesting video though.

Midna could possibly resist the power of the fused of the fused shadow because she is the true ruler of the Twilight Realm which grants her magical abilities. Maybe after they were exiled to the Twilight Realm, the Interlopers had made it to where only a true ruler of the Twilight Realm could wield its dark power without being possessed by it

Awesome!

I wish there were more zelda games like this

Good video! Goede Video! - is that correct?

ya know, I would say that the Fused Shadow could be classified at as a mask. I wonder if they happy mask salesman has anything to do with the Twilight.

Didn't Midna also get the triforce of wisom from Zelda when she was dying. That was a bit into the game, sure, but would not that help?

Im not so sure about Yeta. Sure she uses ice magic, but nothing in game sasi she can use it. It possible the dark magic of the mirror of twilight granted her that power

Some people believe one of the Interlopers was Fierce Deity Link, while kind of explains some things.

What is wrong with your way of talking? You hold out your vowels, "hyruuuuuuuuuuuuuuule" or "shaaaaaaaaaaaaaards"

Maybe the reason Minda wasn't corrupted was because she was protected by the gods of her realm. Or that she was strong minded and refused to be transformed

Good thing I'm not the only one who calls the Twili in this pronunciation! 😂

“Da insiddeeeeeeee”

Alright willy. you've earned a subscriber. I give.

please stop putting on that higher tone towards the end of ever sentence, it's just annoying.

What would happen when the Fused Shadow, the Majoras mask and the firced deiety fuse?

i love the music of tp 😍😍

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I clicked this so fast.

"Harmless spider..."

This is intense.

Some people believe one of the Interlopers was Fierce Deity Link

What's the difference between hylia and the golden goddesses?

Just looking at the triforce could the twilight realm be the black gap in the middle.

"Small harmless spider" the shit is bigger than link's upper body

When was it stated that the female yetti had frost magic?

nice theory

so majora's mask is a different version of the fused shadow

constructive criticism: You guys entered the twilight subject blind, Its the ultimate greyzone. of course they've balanced good and evil to a certain degree, i mean, their world is based on that concept. however ive always felt they started dark, they attacked with the fused shadow long before they started any type of culture in the prison realm. I most definitely feel they we're terminian shiekahs/Ikana valley inhabitants. Both events seem to line up in lore as child links adventures in termina document an old tribe that disappeared and was highly skilled in dark magic and teleportation, ie zant. TP events are only a couple hundred years later and the siege for the triforce is basically legend at that point passed on by the gaurdians of they're weapons. if you look at their placement in hyrule historia and think about when the interlopers invaded and when the inhabitants of termina left. its rather perfect

hey wily bro u know it could be that iere isnt any gravity but THEY made fake gravity for the islands

THE FUSED SHADOW IS A MASK. THE FIERCE DEITY MASK IS A MASK The FDM could be an example of the fused shadow being used properly. Or maybe Majora and the FD are split up parts of the Fused Shadow.

For midnaaaaaaa !

2:27. Audrey2?

Well, link never touched the fused shadow so that's why he never got corrupted. I mean. Think about it. Anything link ever retrieves just floats above his hands.

Zant power comes from Ganon power not the fused shadow. Shadow Beast are Demons corrupted Twili or monsters by this power ! The Dark mirror are still corrupted after Zant break it.

Spirit world fused Shadow is Majora's mask?

The Interlopers weren't actually after the Sacred Realm or the Triforce. NoA fucks up the translations a lot, because in the original Japanese version it says they were trying to conquer Hyrule. The Triforce depicted in the cutscene is merely symbolizing Hyrule. Another thing - even though I'm one of those people who thinks the Interlopers appeared during the Hylian Civil War, you're saying it as if it's a fact. It isn't, and you should be careful not to word it that way because people here might think it's been confirmed somewhere.

Has it occurred to anyone that Link is a decendent of the Interlopers. In that great 'war' mentioned by the Deku Tree, Link was abandoned by his Hylian mother. Who was his father? Why not an interloper? It makes sense. The Shadow Temple had Link fight 'Shadow Link' - yet in TP, we see the Interlopers looking exactly like Link - both dark and green. Why are their clothes like his - and why is Link's original clothes never resembling any other tribe in Hylian civilization? In Majora's Mask, it appears Majora's Mask was trying to kill this 'kid'. If you think about the name of the mask that makes it easy to kill Majora, it makes sense that Majora or someone would consider the Interlopers 'fierce deity' for being the Creator of Majora. It was probaboy the interloper that killed the original Majora. Dare I suggest Majora was haunting the descendant of the Interloper? Also worth nothing that whenever anyone touched the triforce - blessing happened. Whenever touches the fused shadow - corruption happened. And then there's Link - it's not affecting him - nor is the Twili. Well if he's a descendant of this place - why would it? I don't think you can pin it down to being the 'triforce' of courage being the reason he wasn't effected b the fused shadow or Twili.

When link turned to dust did he dab?

I saw the dab of power in this vid

From the insiiiiiiiide! Made me cringe and want to vomit!

So twilight magic is like the Force in Star Wars; it has a good side and a bad side which van corrupt.

Highrule is the light realm the sorce realm and the twilight is a prisim prison of both dark what if realm and light sorce realm?

u r the best RU-vidr ever I like your voice

The fused shadow is probably majora's mask

Am I the only one that wasn't bothered by his speaking?

Midna was not cursed by Zant's Twili magic. It was by Ganon's magic. That is the reason she didn't changed back to her normal form after defeating Zant. Zant explains this to her after the battle.

i want that game

Wait, Yeta has ice magic??

watch with subtitles and no volume for best experience.

Lowrule is the dark realm s what if the interloper's won?

The fused shadow does turn Mirna into a monster. Not exactly a monster, but a deformed version of herself. I think since she is already corrupted by one piece of the fused shadow she can hold the others with no isssue.

I would not be surprised if their was more to this than what you theorized

how was that game covention in Utrecht
