What's really creepy is the fact that Kakariko villagers would drink/use water from the well that may or may not contain leftovers from all the stuff inside the bottom of the well 🤢🤮

I always thought Bongo Bongo’s “eye” was his cut neck

To this day, that darn Ghost Ship is still one of the more daunting things in The Legend of Zelda.

It was the one thing I was curious about when going into Phantom Hourglass.

I'm glad someone is finally talking about Bongo Bongo. In my opinion it's just the creepiest boss in OOT bc of the possible backstory. A man who was executed possibly by the Sheikah bc of being an enemy to the Royal Family bc of his ability to see the truth and then turned into a monstrous beast in the said torture chamber.

The stal children could be inspired by the japanese Gashadokuro, a giant skeleton made from regular skeletons, who manifests in places that have mass graves usually from war and starvation. The skeleton eventually disappears when it's energy is used up (which could explain why there are none when Link is an adult) but before they disappear they hunt down any nearby person. They're usually depicted just being a big skeleton, but zelda could just take creative liberties
Either that, or there was a race in Hyrule we never saw that was wiped out during the war.

Considering Bongo Bongo, I hadn't really considered it, but you talking about execution and decapitation made me realize that Bongo Bongo's "head" could potentially be the stump of his neck after his head was cut off. Quite the gruesome boss beast.

For some reason I kinda want a temple in new BOTW game to match the creepiness of the Shadow Temple

[BottledPoe]

Fun fact: that scream that you hear on the ghost ship once you open the chest is actually Jabun's unused scream but sped up and higher pitched

[Schalu]

I still remember my first time playing WW… I just finished the second dungeon and was hyped that I could now sail across the whole map so I ignored the main quest for quiet some time until I arrived at Greatfish Isle by mere coincidence. I was shocked to see the island destroyed and decided to look around for something useful. Then I turned around and saw it: the Ghost Ship, highlighted by a perfectly timed lightning strike!
That was the first time I saw the Ship and my heart skipped more then just one beat that day… Up to this day, most things in the horror genre do not even come close to that scare the Ghost Ship gave me…😅

I don't think the bottom of the well is an extension of the shadow temple. I think it was part of the house that stood on the well, and was used by the man who had the lens of truth. I also think he was the torturer hired by the royal family (having "an eye that can see the truth" would help with extracting information), that is until his secret is discovered and he's killed. His hands are cut off as a fitting punishment for what he did with them and his eye of truth is hidden in the torture chamber he built below his house and is protected by a well.

I love the mystery behind Bongo Bongo- honestly, my favorite theory on him is that he was a Sheikah who did work for the Royal Family during the war- interrogation work. With his ability to ‘see’ what others couldn’t, he was a stellar interrogator. But when the war was over and Hyrule wanted to hide its bloody deeds, Bongo Bongo was executed. The lens of truth may have been made from one of his eyes (hence the boss only having one eye left) and it’s possible his hands were removed to keep him from continuing his torturous work in the life beyond. A handful of this theory is conjecture to connect bits, but it’s one I still greatly enjoy.

Haunting-ly beautiful thumbnail and intro mate! 💪

Super video for Halloween too!!

[jaehaalexander]

In regards to Bongo Bongo, back in medieval times, hands were cut off for theft. Also the beat he drums sounds like an execution drumbeat. The muttering we hear from him sounds like "You're gonna die" or something like that to me but can't actually say it because well no head. He may be reliving his own execution.

Next Video: are boos the ghosts of dead Toads?

[Freshest_Fisch]

Not necessarily a theory, but I think Breath of the Wild would’ve been a lot creepier if instead of having stal variants of monsters, there were skeletons of dead Hyruleans killed by Ganon that climb out of the ground around all the village ruins

[gallofilm]

your intro still remains one of the most polished things I've seen

[MattKimura]

The part in the Wind Waker where you go underneath the habana that the school teacher owned and you end up going underground and discover redeads. It made me feel like Hyrule's Past is full of creepy stuff compared to what's on the surface.

When fighting the stalfos for the bow in the forest temple in ocarina of time, if you defeat one of them, but are then defeated by the other, triggering a bottled fairy to revive you, the stalfos that you had defeated is revived as well, rising to fight you again. I had thought this was something that I made up as a kid, but in a recent play through I tested it out (totally intentionally, and not because I got cocky or anything, cough cough. XP ), and confirmed it to be true. Not sure if there's any reason behind this, or if it's just a neat little easter egg, but it is an interesting detail that I've never seen mentioned online (though I didn't exactly look for it specifically). Still, I have to wonder, why would a fairy restore an undead creature to un-life? Does that say something about the stalfos, the fairy, or both? Notably, I did get the fairy from the fairy fountain just outside the temple, but is that relevant? The stalfos that was revived was across the room from me when it happened, so it's not a matter of the fairy healing it because it was next to me at the time, as I had thought as a kid, and the stalfos that was still attacking me didn't seem to regain health, oddly enough (though I'm not sure if that's just a matter of me doing jump attacks or something that would decrease the number of hits compared to the revived one). Anyway, I just thought it was an interesting detail, and perhaps worthy of a theory or two. *Shrugs*

If you really think about it, the Stalchildren could just be the dead children who tried to escape Hyrule like Link but ended up getting killed in the conflict - makes you think how lucky Link really had it
