With limited population numbers to begin with Hyrule would go into a state of "Amnesia" after any war spare the Koroks or Kakori who would naturally be the Keepers of knowledge not engaging in war and living a somewhat "secret" existence.
Indeed, and I believe that ties up everything I can consider plot holes with this thread, at least with my limited knowledge, as much as this could be a possibility, there's also the possibility of it not happening. Therefore, I personally consider this theory inconclusive. It's pretty much half and half for me.
why we are all currently engaged in plausible theory crafting,
I may seem biased and completely against it at the beginning of the discussion, but that's only to discuss every possible plot hole. Afterwards, I still like to discuss just how possible the theory is with those plot holes presented. My aim isn't to destroy theories with personal bias, only to discover every possible plot hole, and see how the structure of the theory still stands.
Beautiful P.O.V I back this thought process 100%.
So Hyrule writes nothing down and doesn't pass anything down verbally? 100 years isn't that long in a world where people can live for more than a century, especially when central Hyrule is the only part that was actually destroyed. If Washington DC was wiped out the rest of the country wouldn't just forget its history.
Gotta have people that can read let alone want to read if they are scrounging for scraps after a civil war or 2,
In BotW we see none of that. Almost every major settlement was untouched by Ganon.
civil wars are long over by this time dear,
I'd have to disagree, even though it seems like almost every settlement was untouched, most of it seems like they've rebuild their settlements, non-dimension almost all of the broken and ruined structures all throughout The entirety of the world.
We are never given any indication that the violence reached Hateno, the Zora Domain, or Death Mountain. If the game doesn't mention it, no one talks about it happening, and there are no signs of it happening then it didn't happen.
Because there's theory based on things presented in the games and then there's fanfiction.
everything we suggest is based off in game evidence fanfiction or not LOLOLOLOLBecause there's theory based on things presented in the games and then there's fanfiction.
Zora's domain is clearly the only ones that still has scars of the calamity, but they despise hylians, so of course they're not going to pass down their knowledge.
