  1. I thought the Deku nuts and sticks came from those monsters because the deku tree was corrupted.. like corrupted seeds and such were spreading from him making the deku babas . It make the collection of sticks and mitts make sense.. but that was just what my kid brain thought

  2. 14:18 Well I guess he's not the person in the pot house in Castle Town. It's most likely the Hyrule Guard inside there anyway.

    18:12 I guess the race of their father could be Hylian, Human, Sheikah, and maybe even Kokiri and Goron (It's implied that Rosso is a Goron Hylian hybrid, and that Gulley may be part Kokiri).

    19:39 I thought that was removed in the 3DS version.

    The Windmill Song is a Bootstrap paradox. The song came from Termina.

  3. An interpretation of the Broken Goron Sword that I've seen tossed around is that the Biggoron Sword will never break when used properly, but since the carpenter wasn't using the sword as a sword, he put strain on it in ways that it simply wasn't designed for.

  4. the song od storm paradox always amused me… it actually happen another time in oracle of ages. during a trading quest, a goron give you a jar that have supposedly been in his familly for generations, but then you go in the distant past and meet a goron who'd like to have a familly heriloom… you give him the urn and he's happy. but since it's his densendant that give it to you in the first place, where does the damned urn come from? ''insert X-files theme here''

  5. Something I just noticed… the sheikah have white hair and usually either red or brown eyes… just like the ishvalans in Fullmetal Alchemist. They both were the victims of a war from a more powerful country. Could they be based on a common thread, like some ancient Japanese folklore of a white-haired race I haven't heard about yet?

  6. Crazy Majora's Mask Theory: The owner of the Poe Shop in Ikana Canyon is actually Saria. Since Majora's Mask is the "Child Timeline" Link never visited the Forest Temple and met the Poe Sisters. The Majora's Mask Poes all have the same names and if they really weren't "evil," by Majora's Mask they were probably just looking to go to the Afterlife. Saria always had a connection with the Forest Temple and knew that Link would be visiting Ikana in the near future. That also explains why the Poe Shop owner knows who Link is and doesn't mention how and why the owner will "spare" Link at 3 hearts

  7. The song of storms is not a paradox and heres why

    The song of storms is actually the work of Flat's eulogy
    You first learned the song when you were adult link
    You taught the song to him as young link..
    Okay but
    You leave hyrule and enter termina where everything is a totally different dimension and all hyrule people have no idea about their old lives
    And atlas we meet with flat in ikana graveyard and learn it there
    You take the song back to hyrule and teach it once again to the Phonogram man assuming he lost memory as he did in the parallel hyrule termina
    And thus is the origin of the song of storms

    This is just my own logical theory of it
    you all can do whatever you want with this theory

  8. I'm absolutely loving this series. I'm not sure if you've mentioned it, but please do this for every Zelda game! 👀 And if you are, I look forward to each one.

  9. I've never understood why the Poe sisters are named after the "Little Women" in the book by Louisa May Alcott. It's the closest thing to a real- world reference to be found in any part of the game, and it's rather obscure.

  10. I actually always thought that Koume and Kotake were "surrogate" mothers because they had conceived and birthed Gannondorf TOGETHER as Twinrova. It would only make sense, as the witches themselves are elderly crones, both well over a hundred years old.

  11. 14:54 – I remember, though this may be wrong, that after giving Fado the mushroom powder there will be a one-time Stalfos fight in that location. You may have to stay in the woods or something. After that it becomes the Skull Kid.

  12. @Zeltik So, its implied that Nabooru is the mother of Malon, but how could this be if the Gerudo babies always come out fully Gerudo? Sure, Malon has Gerudo features, such as the red hair, but would you say she looks 100% Gerudo? Or am I mistaken in thinking that Nabooru is her mother?

  13. Love that you ended on the bootstrap paradox. Where DID the song come from indeed? Causality gone mad. Must be why so many secret and mysterious things happen when you play it, the very existence of the tune distorts reality!
