Zelda is the only game with drunk party aliens.


Think about it. "They" always target the ranch, always grab the cows which give a special milk implied to be alcoholic and always come before the Festival. They literally come to Termina to get drunk and party.

Link, the entire game: Stfu navi, just leave me alone
Navi, at the end of the game: *Leaves*
Link: *Pikachu face*

[idc]

Actually I think I can explain Navi's leaving of Link at the end of OoT. Its symbolic of growing up. The Kokiri live in the forest and never age. They also never get lost because they have a Fairy companion to guide them. While Navi is with Link during his adventure he is free to return to his childhood. But at the end, she leaves symbolizing while that he has returned to being in child form, he is no longer a child as he has grown from his adventure and she doesn't need to guide him any more. Link can no longer return to the forest, a place that represents eternal childhood.

He goes looking for Navi in MM, aiming to reclaim his childhood but gets lost in the woods. MM's story focuses on meeting new people and making new friends and parting ways with them. Skullkid's comment about Link being the same kid that taught him the song in the woods and asking to be friends is one example. Skullkid's entire arc is about making friends, thinking the giant's stopped being his friend and left him alone. This mirror's Link and Navi. At the end of MM, Link leaves the forest and rides off in search of new adventure.

I hate that people say "Link is dead" in MM or something similar. Totally missing the true message of the game.

I like to believe that Demise WAS the chaos that the Goddesses displaced when making the world. Enraged, he took a physical form that was as opposite of the Goddesses as possible. Even going so far as to invert their insignia and craft twisted beings in mockery of their own creations.

[MultiWolf]

My theory for the origin of Demise:
Maybe Demise WAS the chaos that was Hyrule.
But then, the three goddesses came and created the land itself.
The events of that war where Demise burst from the ground was basically him finally breaking free, pissed cause they dumped a country on him, how rude.

[firestarter]

*Thank you* for putting the Aliens as the first theory since you advertised them on the thumbnail, so many other Youtubers use the thumbnail to tease people into watching a video, only to watch it all the way through just to see what was advertised...

But you went straight to the point and because of that, I wanted to see what else you had to show!

"Offering often unwanted advice and suggestions"

I died at that lmao.

[ShiruAbend]

The Navi mystery was short, but damn.
Link ending up in Termina is a result of Link searching for her, but now knowing that his search has probably been for nothing because she's most likely dead is quite depressing.
I genuinely didn't think Majora's Mask could get any darker, but now it is.

“Maybe if their was a prequel”
shadow dropping age of calamity

[bryanbutchmartin]

I'm super glad you say Hylian correctly. I'm used to the game grumps saying hillian. Even though they pronounce Hyrule correctly.

[GentlemanJacque]

I'm with you on that it was the Goddesses who created Demise.
What Zelda said in Twilight Princess fits quite well: "Shadow and Light are two sides of the same coin...One cannot exist without the other."

[PollyBonanzas]

That shrimp in the stone carving looks like it's actually the tail from the zora's head to me. If you look carefully, you can see that it's behind the spear, and not actually impaled on it.

[torashiki]

I am surprised that you didnt mention that the window that Navi disappears into is, if we go by Twilight Princess (since the OoT Temple of Time and TP Temple of Time seem to be the same), the entrance into the Temple of Light, ''Inner/True'' Temple of Time or even the Sacred Realm.

[sageneodraconus]

I just realized this about Navi, but the Great Deku Tree specifically told Navi to accompany Link on his journey. If the fairies were under the control of the Great Deku Tree then maybe they literally only follow commands and then return to the forest upon completion of those orders. This would offer up a plausible reasoning for Navi's mysterious departure at the end of Ocarina of Time and could even explain why Link went searching for her afterward. Knowing his friend would never be given new instructions, he could have sought to find and help her. Just a thought.

[swiftyfan]

Another interesting unexplained mystery I don't see mentioned anywhere: the co-existence of Rito and and Zora in Breath of the Wild. The Rito were explicitly said to be descended from the Zora in Wind Waker; an evolution triggered by the gods themselves to ensure that Hyrule would remain beyond anyone's reach beneath the sea. The Rito's existence depends on the Zora's extinction. So how do they both casually exist in Breath of the Wild ?

One of the very few Zelda YouTubers who isn’t cringey and stupid. Keep on keepin on zeltik, you’re a great content maker!

[lostkin]

If there's a botw prequel...

Well at least there's a sequel now :D

[latinofireball]

I’d like to mention that later in the Child Timeline (Twilight Princess) we find out that the window Navi goes through leads to a dungeon.
And on the topic of Demise’s origin, I like to think that he was just a creature or darkness created to cancel out Hylia, kind of like a cosmic Dark Link.

While watching this video I remembered that the theme song for the "aliens" in Majora's Mask is acctuelly called "Ghost attack" and I have a faint memory of a story regarding a Japanese "ghost" that resemble aliens, so that might be the solution for that mystery.
