I got into Breath of the Wild a little late to the party in 2019, two years after its release, and there was a THRIVING community online, especially on youtube, of lore speculation and analysis. People would read into little details of the world design picking up on little stories and piecing together details of the great calamity. And these channels had millions of views and subscribers doing this consistently up until 2023 when TotK released!

What do you see nowadays, almost three years after TotK came out?? The occasional mod compilation here and there. Every now and then you see a unique creation but even that, the games main selling point, has grinded to a halt. Most of the Zelda youtubers I followed religiously either shifted back into classic Zelda content, or stopped making Zelda content entirely- because TotK is a boring game with game-y, gimmickey world design and an even worse story that has no thought put into it and nothing to analyze.

Zelda fell and, without any precise knowledge of the past, transported herself and a shard of the Master Sword back in time, with her landing directly in Sonia's path and yet the shard landing within a sealed chamber in the Depths that she could not possibly have known about?

Nonsense. It's way too contrived. Zelda, then, could not have done this. She's too unskilled with her powers. Pulling that off would require an intimate knowledge of the past and immense and precise power. The only other explanation would place the fate of Hyrule, in the balance for thousands of years, on sheer dumb luck.

But we see that kind of power in Tears of The Kingdom. Opening the skies, communicating with Link, opening a portal through which the remains of the Master Sword are sent - a skill even Sonia could not perform. The one wielding this power would, by necessity, have to have known details about the past as well as Zelda's fall.

There is only one entity that knows *everything* and has that much power. That much... wisdom.

The Light Dragon.

The only being that could ensure that the events of this ouroboros would close seamlessly, also made sure that a piece of Zelda's beloved knight would remain by her side.

Zeltik: hmm this is interesting that they didn't do anything with this. What did they mean?
