Last time I wrote about this I was all over the place, but I've clarified the theory so much I wanted to re-post with the current version. Here's what I think is the "secret" plot of Skyward Sword: Hylia became mortal to wish on the Triforce, and she wished for a second timeline that they could...

The Super Nintendo World and interactive playground ideas are cool. There's an attraction at DisneySea Tokyo that's an interactive scavenger hunt about Leonardo DaVinci. Only the final stage of the hunt is unique. The castle area is scattered with symbols, a few buttons which reveal the clue if...

I think he is a big fan of there being a single timeline, and in the debate over single or multiple timelines one issue that comes up is how Link is sent back in time at the end of Ocarina of Time. So, some people don't quite believe there is evidence for multiple timelines, but the child Link...

So it's like Tenchi Muyo or Fullmetal Alchemist? There are stories which feature the same characters, similar storylines, but the actual plot and many of the relationships are totally different? Just four different versions? It's pretty Japanese in a way. Souls are immortal and details are...

From this comment I made in another thread: With this in mind, I was thinking about the Triforce. Din is the physics engine and heightmap of the game. Farore is the simulation. The player-game interface. The camera system. Z-targeting. Nayru is the storyline and NPC dialogue. The more...

What if it's an imperfect recreation of the Mirror of Twilight? It can't bridge the two worlds, but it can allow echoes from one, weak simulacra, into the other? We are led to believe the Dark Mirror was once the Mirror of Twilight. But what if it's the broken Mirror of Twilight recreated? Not...

This is a mind-bending theory, so I'll wait to see if there's interest before getting into some of the Zelda quotes for interpretation. Demise is called the one who conquered time. What does that mean? What if, no matter what Hylia does, Demise is able to go back in time and prepare a counter...

You left out the Goddess Sword, which is in the possession of the Forgotten Temple goddess statue. That taken by itself would be mind blowing, but is complicated by the white sword, as well as the other items generally. OOPS. Okay, it's just the Goddess Sword. Still the fact the goddess...

So what if you have to go into the gate, and then come BACK to the future to activate the echo or bring it with you? Zelda never goes back through the Lanayru gate, she comes to the future by way of the crystal. So the changes made by her become part of the absolute time line. It still doesn't...

Universal's Islands of Adventure had a show that posed as a ride, called Poseidon's Fury. It was cool. Look it up. Rumor is, while Nintendo (Mario + Donkey Kong) Land is going to Universal's third new park in Orlando, there is a chance the old Atlantis land will become a Zelda Land. It's the...

Hyrule is based on Persia. Ganondorf is Zahhak or Azi Dahhak. Link is much more Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Japanese. That's what makes Zelda weird and unique.

Some of these have more obvious answers, some can be answered with a little speculation, some require a lot, and some are just unanswered. I just replayed. Why does Impa have Zelda's bracelet at the beginning, but the Tree of Life and Master Sword aren't there yet? Why does Zelda say Hylia...

Other than the "powerful and wicked man" part, you could argue that the OoT sages became the Divine Champions of the Calamity War in BOTW's past. Maybe the powerful and wicked man was just a Phantom Ganon avatar. Yeah, that's a stretch.

I just replayed Skyward Sword and think it's full of oddities that are either some master plan by Nintendo, or the other best explanation is they cut content and were going to have you collect the Triforce in the past versions of Faron/Eldin/Lanayru/Skyloft. Getting the Master Sword as a...
