    Is the Master Sword Zonai made?

    Not mot much to go in depth about here, to start. It's entirely based on how the sword reacts to the Zoni fusion ability. When fusing items into the Master Sword, the item is absorbed; not just visually, but Pelison can't find anything to pull apart. Then there's the runes that appear on the...

    Are mermaids related to the Zora?

    The title is basically the question at hand. Are mermaids real in the Zelda universe, and are they related to the Zora in some way? - We do see a mermaid in Link's awakening, which is a dream, so not definitive, in of itself. As an aside, I believe that everything in the dream was experienced...

    Zelda and the Ocarina

    While looking for some other information, I stumbled across this interview, from 2017: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/2017/February/Find-out-some-of-Eiji-Aonuma-s-favourite-things-from-The-Legend-of-Zelda-series-in-our-interview--1198478.html Within the interview, I spotted some interesting...

    The Barbaric Tribe: In universe misconception?

    While I still have my idea of who/what the barbaric tribe actually were, a thought occurred to me. I don't know if there is much evidence for it, but I present it to all of you, to either float or sink. -------------------- We know that the Thyphlo ruins were attributed to the Zoni, but was...

    Spoiler The case for Rauru's early reign; before Skyward Sword

    At this time, as far as I have found, there are a number of problems with the past that Zelda was sent to, in Tears of the Kingdom, taking place after Skyward Sword. Why after Skyward Sword does not work. * There is no recognition of the Master Sword, when Zelda talks about it, and her only...

    Hyrule Topography 2.0

    It's that time. I have reanalyzed my map placement theory. For reference, here are the links to previous threads on this topic: 1.0 - https://zeldadungeon.net/forum/threads/hyrule-topography-based-on-breath-of-the-wild.61104/ 1.5 -...

    Skyward Sword topography

    In preparation for revisiting my topography theory, I've decided to take another look at the Map for Skyward Sword, but based on the tablet, this time. After taking a closer look, I realized that the details of the map are continuous, and obviously meant to be a whole. With this in mind, I...

    Architectural History, from Tears of the Kingdom to Skyward Sword

    I am personally a fan of the idea that the past of Tears of the Kingdom is the time before Skyward Sword. To this end, I went through both games, comparing features of the structures. I originally grabbed screenshots from both games, with the intent of posting comparisons. Instead, to make this...

    What value translations have (meta-theorizing)

    I have noticed a shift in theorizing, based on the original Japanese text. I have a few thoughts on the matter, and I would like all of your input, as well. When I first started theorizing, there was no consideration for any other translations. At least not that I could find. Yes, this was...

    Edit: Masked Followers to Invaders

    After playing through Minish Cap, I chose to chew on this theory separately from my last group of theories, including information that was brought to my attention by GZ Zelda, as well as touching on some additional connections. This is more than just an update, but an expansion. As I have...

    Looking Back at Minish Cap.

    I recently played through Minish Cap, and made a few connections in the process, and I think there are some untapped, or at least not often talked about, theoretical material. - Picorri, Kokiri, and Oocca - The Minish, or Picorri, have similarities to the Kokiri, as well as the Oocca. First...

    Ocarina of Time Link and Zelda are siblings?!

    I just came across this theory. It suggests that Link and Zelda, in Ocarina of Time are siblings, probably twins. The evidence I have collected so far is how similar their models are, their age, how Impa teaches Link songs that are only meant for the royal family, the composer brothers...

    Looking Back, Again.

    After playing through Skyward Sword, the HD version this time, I had a number of realizations, and thoughts that I think should be revisited. The Kikwi: It is stated, I don't remember where (Hyrule Historia?), that the Kokiri originated from Hylians. It is also not a stretch that the Deku...

    Did the Interlopers come from Termina?

    Despite trying to focus on class work, and avoiding Zelda until the new game is in my hand, I had a theory come to mind, and I don't recall anyone talking about it. The Masked Followers, (from Lorule, A Link Between Worlds) wear masks, to a religious point, and talk about turning into monsters...

    Tanagar Canyon

    I decided to take a tour of the Tanagar Canyon, after crunching out my last theory. If you haven't seen it, here is the thread, The story we missed, behind the shrines. Breath of the Wild, look for the section titled, "The Forgotten Temple, and the Eighth Heroine," for more background on how the...

    The story we missed, behind the shrines. Breath of the Wild

    When I first played through Breath of the Wild, I had quickly came to the conclusion that there was no real story behind the shrines. And the general idea of the masses seemed to agree. Even then, I thought it was obvious that each monk would have chosen a location that was important to them...

    What season is it in Breath of the Wild?

    I Just came across a question I haven't seen asked. What season is it in Breath of the Wild? Looking at the day night cycle, it would probably be Spring or Fall. Judging by the leaves of many trees, and the plethora of plants, I would guess Spring. Any thoughts on this?

    The lake side scientist, Ocarina of Time

    I believe that Dr. Mizumi (or Mizuumi?), the lake scientist, in Ocarina of Time, was a member of the Shikah. A few things we can tell from Breath of the Wild. The tribe is not just made up of ninjas and wizards, but scientists as well. (From the beginning, I believe it has been the intention...

    Hyrule topography, 1.5

    After letting this theory breath for a few years, and testing it against other theories, I feel it is time to revive this topic, with some additional information, and some fresh eyes. Back in 2017, I compared the maps from previous games to the map from Breath of the Wild. In general, I started...

    The Interlopers were Yiga (like)

    I'm a bit sleep deprived, so bear with me, if my thoughts seem a little scattered. There has always been comparisons between Majora's Mask and the fused shadow, as though they were made by the same person, inspired by one or the other, and so on. On the back of the fused shadow, there is an eye...

    Freud and the fish

    As a student of psychology, it has always bothered me that everything presented in Link's Awaking usually gets handwaved, simply because it's "just" a dream. I propose that there is plenty to learn about the world(s) of the franchise, if only we look a bit closer. Firstly, with two connections...

    Magic vs. Technology

    The series seems to sway back and forth on how the power of the gods, manifest. Aside from the Tri-force pieces originally being planed to be microchips, the earlier games seemed to have more of a magical presence. The newer games seem to do many of the same things by technology. How do each of...

    The original game was a Minish sized adventure.

    Based on how the Eastern coastline, and Zora domain, in Breath of the wild, lines up with the Western landmass in Zelda 2, and how small the map of the original is based on its placement in the Zelda 2 map; the original game takes place in a rather small location. (Yes, I am saying that the...

    Not the tetraforce theory

    Seeing as I am trying to stay away from Breath 2 content, until I get my hands on the game; I thought I might bring up an old theory, and add my own twist to it. I may have talked to some of you, a few years ago, about it, but never created my own thread about it. To start with, the busted...

    Termina in the other timelines?

    Has anyone else thought about how the events for Majora's Mask were set in motion before Ocarina of Time. Not the part about Link getting involved, that's obviously after. The mask held great evil well before the start of Ocarina of Time. This tells me that something was going down in Termina in...

    The timeline that never happened.

    With all of these discussions about the timeline splits, I had a hypothetical thought. What would have happened if Zelda did not send Link back at the end of Ocarina of Time? Most obviously, the flood would not have happened. Link being forced to mature, and gain quite a lot of knowledge just...

    Hot topics

    What are the most hotly debated theories out there, today? And, what makes them so volitile? It's okay to talk about a theory you don't agree with; in fact, here's another chance to say how stupid you think it is. Just remember, to try presenting the other side, and try not to get ugly if...

    Master Sword Recreation?

    A video just cam out about an inconsistency between Breath of the Wild, the book, and Age of Calamity. It got me thinking about an older theory that I have thought about, from time to time. I've long theorized that the magic sword, particularly the one seen in the first two games, is an attempt...

    We know because he said so.

    We've all seen it. Many of us have even used it. When discussing some theory, there always seems to be some statement to the effect of, "This person stated a thing, so it must be true." I've never really liked that approach. Of course, if we throw out everything that everyone says, by the off...

    Is the downfall the natural timeline?

    For starters, the way I make sense of the timeline split is not that the player gets a game over, but that Gannon(dorf) is unaposed. Either the downfall is created when Link is pulled from the flow of time; or what happens when Link doesn't have the ability to defeat him, without time travel...

    One Universe, different frequencies

    This theory came up in a discussion about how modern scientific theory plays in to the series. On one hand, it helps to explain some aspects, while calling other aspects in to question. The theory is based on wave frequencies, and the indestructible nature of mater. To start off; all mater...

    Time travel and time manipulation

    I have come to the conclusion that the players have been experiencing three different forms of time travel. As time travel goes, there are four kinds that have been used in the majority of si-fi; Fixed time, dynamic time, multiverse/string theory, and temporal echoes. As far as moderns science...

    Hyrule topography; based on Breath of the Wild.

    Being my first thread on this site, I really hope everything comes across properly. I have come up with a number of theories, based on one project. Even though I may mention one one or two preexisting theories, that fit well with these maps, every proposition is truly based on them. I will post...
