this changes everything.
i discovered the clue that solved one of tears of the kingdom’s most notorious failures while working on my most recent response video to hayato sensei.
the game still sucks though.

thanks so much again to @double_zr_tap on instagram for the amazing skitsona! <3
to the plushie lovers, fear not! i will be sticking with the skitty image we all know and love in the future, i just thought it would be very funny to have a rantsona deliver the "shrine island exposed" video. they may return in the future as well, and regardless of whether or not they do, it was such a treat to get to work with such a talented artist!
Can't shield SURF on WATER, literally unplayable.
There is no Easter Bunny, there is no queen of England, and Shrine Island was never named after it's shrine!
…. NO SPIRIT ON SPIRIT ISLAND
There’s no shrine on the there’s no shrine on shrine shrine island no shrine island 😔
See also: the shrine was there when the island was named, and between the events of the two games the shrine disappeared.
I honestly dont care, any half-invested dev would think to keep a shrine there.
As one of the two Phantom Hourglass fans in the entire world I am proud that Phantom Hourglass is the solution to the Shrine Island dilemma.
Thank you for reminding me that theres no linebeck on linebeck island
… cant really call myself one of the few dozen PH fans, but linebeck is forever in my top three zelda characters.
This was pretty interesting though. Cool find!
you cant stop me from saying no shrine on shrine island because i havent played phantom hourglass, let alone the vast majority of zelda games
Does this mean the game is worth 70 dollars now?
There are no spirits on the spirit island!
So totk is a good game now?
As one of the two huge Phantom Hourglass fans I think it's so cool that Linebeck got his own island lol
Jomama
Your png character is so cute! Gotta draw them sometime X3
Am I the only one who felt like Tears of the Kingdom hatred was severely nostalgic biased? The whole Shrine island seems to confirm that suspicion.
I love Tears of the Kingdom 🥰
❤🤩😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚😚
There is no war in Ba Sing Sei
i would also argue that the natives of the world in breath of the wild could have called it shrine island while the shrine was there and they just had no reason to rename it just because the shrine had disappeared with the rest of the shiekah tech. also its possible that the placement of the shrines seem random because they focused their placement on notable places for the lightroots in the depths because every lightroot has a shrine directly above it.
This video felt like the end of an era
Aren't the shrine locations correlated to actual locations in Kyoto. I believe the director of the game even said as much. Also, I didn't realize shrines in the BotW were named after game developers (anagrams?) and in TotK shrine names were derived from the same locations as on a real map. At least I think I read something about that. It could be a Dark Side of the Moon / Wizard of Oz coincidence though. 😂
I think the shrine was placed on shrine island in botw because devs thought it'd be funny and, as you said, it allowed easy access to fleet lotus seeds but when it came to making totk they had to keep the hyrule and depths duality in mind. The placement of certian shrines made sense in botw but in totk they had to find new places that would be good placements for shrines in hyrule but also good placements for lightroots in the depths
can't believe you had to go to translation island for this video
ToTK has 152 shrines, and NOT ONE OF THEM is on SHRINE ISLAND.
the island formerly containing the shrine island shrine
I love the shrine island not having any shrines saga
It’s me! I’m a fan of Phantom Hourglass. It’s such special memories
Your videos are making me replay all the games to develop an opinion post totk hype, 10/10 creator.
I am one of the phantom hourglass fans! Where is the other?
"Jomama" shrine sent me
❤🏳️⚧️
This just got pushed to my feed, so I wasn't here for the start of this but this story made me laugh… have a sub~ n.n
STOP. DELAYING. YOUR BOTW. VIDEO!
I know that's what you're doing. I know you're procrastinating. I'm bored and have listened to all of the big TOTK rants, and now I need fresh meat. So …. Hurry up!
Is this the good or the bad ending?
