  1. Hey folks! My apologies to my Patreons and Members. As I was rushing to get this video out, I ran out of time to update the end Credits and do the usual shoutouts. I will make sure to set this straight in the next video. It's been bit of a rough week for me. I hope you all had a great weekend!

  2. I agree; Ganondorf is not the eighth heroine. The word "heroine" is the female version of the word "hero," which puts him out for me. The statue is very clearly labeled as a "heroine" not a "hero."

    This whole thing is an interesting theory; well done.

  3. Don’t know it’s it been said but maybe the eighth had to do with the yiga clan. Maybe the sheikah sage betrayal which leads to the sheikah and that’s how ganondorf got a tear given it’s a past thing

  4. One theory that I’ve heard, and one that I agree with, is that Ganondorf was originally supposed to be the Gerudo Sage before he fell to the curse of Demise. And if these statues are supposed to represent the Sages, which I don’t agree with, then the eight heroine is supposed to represent Ganondorf.

    But who can say? For all we know the statues are supposed to represent the known heroes of Hyrule and the eighth represents a fallen hero.

  5. If this theory doesn't play out almost exactly this way in the main story plot of totk, the writers better have an even better and crazier story for us to experience (as if a storyline where you fight to seal/destroy ganadorf simultaneously in the past and present isn't already bat shit crazy levels of awesome) because this theory makes SO much freaking sense its insane. This better have been their plan all along because its an incredible story and theory bravo 👏👏👏

  6. The 1-8 number thing could work, but there could be other sequences, for example 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128. a Little excessive for face paint, but Gorons have a lot of room.

  7. I feel like you made a lot of assumptions in your theory for the sake of supporting your theory. I don't think it is safe to say that the 7 Heroines were "team Richard". I think it's a good theory, but not an assumption we can make.

  8. 8:36 People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non subjective point of view it is more like a big ball of wibbily wobbly… timey wimey… stuff

    Things that happened in the past do not necessarily change the future, or at least our future (or present?) just as multiverses (might) exist, why not have multimes as well?

  9. Didn't the Italian voice actor for Daruk (Pietro Ubaldi) mention that he was once again playing Daruk as well as his ancient ancestor? If I remember correctly, his main point was that he was reprising his role as Daruk in TotK. If this is true, will we bring Mipha, Revali, Urbosa, and Daruk back in TotK? If we do, we could potentially see three generations of champions/sages in this game: the Ancient Sages, the BotW Champions, and the TotK Descendant Champions).

  10. A very lateral but fun point to add to this discussion is:
    The strange figure…appears to have dragon features. Scales as well. What if…the sages dissapeared from botw's hyrule because they ascended and became dragons or…….they were always dragons…dragons that shape shifted as dragons canonically are known to do.

  11. I think there will be 7 good sages in the past, and Zelda not be one of them… my theory is the 4 of them are the Gerudo, the Zora, the Goron, and the Rito. The three of them might be the goat person representing the Zonai, the basket lady representing Sheikah or Hylia, and another one probably Link ancestor, the master sword wielder in the past. The 8th sages then is Ganondorf.

  12. Wait, why are both Zelda and "Hylia" in the past? They have the same color tear so shouldn't Hylia be in the present or there be a different yellow tear holder in the present?
