Yes, it is
I remember playing BotW a few weeks ago, after watching the videos on lookout landing, zora’s domain and Rito village, and decided to have a look at the town from this perspective. The moment I saw the back of the throne room I thought “everyone is dead. A single lizfalos with a bomb arrow, and the gerudo are dead.” (I should also bring up that the lazfalos seem to be massively undervalued in these videos; they can camouflage, climb walls, swim (In quicksand!), and are intelligent enough to use metal weapons. And that’s not going into the different varieties.)
The walls are completely useless against the Yiga, as they can 1. Disguise and 2. Teleport through the walls
This is why Ganondorf lost in TOTK 10000 years ago(or was it 1000?), the Gerudo army just was too weak
Welp, at least the worship of the horse god is intact.
All hail Malanya
Honestly, I got the total opposite idea from the shape of the Miner's Mask. That thing looks like it is completely _not_ shaped for a Hylian face (that front part sticks out _way_ too much), but instead looks like it would have fit more comfortably on a Zonai's snout, looking at Rauru.
"Ancient Zelda? Confused" 😂
"Never half pass two things, whole ass one thing" -Ron Swanson. Had they kept their defenses pulled back to the main square, they would have been MUCH more effective.
As a modern Suburbanite, i too am not at all in tune with my environment. I have access to modern grocery stores, What is the Gerudo's excuse???
Been lovin these analysis form both of ya, btoh informative and fun to watch, hope to see more in the future
Fun fact about Rito architecture: every building has a deck for landings and take offs which serves as the real "front door", what we would assume to be the front entrance at first is actually the backdoor.
yep, I'm aware!
Akala citadel next?
They where better during oot they stopped you by sight it must of been their lesser units that fought you hand to hand even though they where "elites"
Maybe, after their evil phase, the hylians didn't allow them to fortify and train as much ? Idk
You say that people wouldn't build structures like the stone snake dragon area and be dressed like that but I would like to point to two well know cultures that did exactly that. Myan of the Yucatan peninsula and the Inca of south amarica. Just saying. Thats not even pointing all the other stone age tribes in south and centeral amarica, just saying.
Okay, I'm not opposed to learning new things. Can you give me specific examples of complex structures that are definitely older than production of textiles? I did a cursory google on Mayans and from it found out that they figured out textiles during the pre-classic era, while most of their most known structures came later, in the classic era. They did build impressive things in the pre-classic era as well but from what I've seen, these cities and statues are dated either within the timeframe estimated for when they started using textile clothing or the rough estimates for the age of stone structures has great overlap with one for textiles - which is the entire point I was making. Clothing and stone masonry tended to develop at roughly the same time, cause both are associated with people who have settled for an agrarian lifestyle rather than hunter gatherer one. Meanwhile the stonework of the Zonai suggests a society that is highly developed already (like classic era Mayans), so they would likely be past the point of figuring out how to make fabric.

Hi I am new to this channel, could anyone tell me where Draken’s accent is from? I’ve never heard anything like that and my curiosity would love to know. Thanks in advance.
Polish!
i love the voice it works for what this is sub added.
Awesome 🏜 🌩 ⚡️ Video!
Given their propensity to fly and travel, it'd make sense if the Village is less of a settlement, and almost more of a permanent camp. A center of infrastructure, but with Rito expected to be able to move out and travel long distances regularly, and thus power structure don't readily emerge. It's been a while, but I remember Rito showing up all over, so it'd make sense on that end.
The Gerudo One way or another are still obsessed with Ganondorf To the point where they would not even allow any men in town.. Even if they are a husband of a Gerudo and worse Gerudo child has to live in the Town. The Rule Did Not Change Anything Pretty Sure Riju Not Having a Father Figuire Is detrimental in the long run....Same Could be Said For Ganondorf. A Proper Father is just as important as Proper Mother. The Gerudo are not progressive and Them not learning from the past Will harm them..They also stopped beikiving Hylia after CalqmitynGanon Attacked Hyrule
They let Gorons in the town; maybe the Gerudo could hire Gorons as stepdads?
This was a fun video, but i kinda wish it could lead to one discussing Gdorf's own forces? Even with perpetually resurrected troops, and in pretty goid numbers, with decent diversity, they don't seem particularly close to conquering Hyrule. Various units lack leadership, or integration/involvement with other cells of their peers. Some of them seem practically mindless, and have junky equipment, even with the good weaoons now being corroded. Most of them are chaotic, random, and uncoordinated, while their leader, who is FINALLY back...is doing nothing. Even without a lot of targets they'd need to beat, to win, I wonder if they could really pull it off? In typical LotR fashion, I guess they only NEED to win a few fights, with practically infinite chances to keep trying, until they do, but that seems like a dumb way to win.
13:35 be nice to my wife she may have girlbossed a little too close to the sun and got caught in a cartoonishly unfortunate predicament but she’s doing her best okay 😭
I think if Zelda turning back if Link did everything he was supposed to, so you can have like two endings. I don't think that was too much to ask. I would like my choices to matter some.
Most d20 games have Gerudo with a Wisdom penalty, it's the same for Mithras in FFXI d20s. I wonder why that is? Also kudos for a female actually pointing this stuff out, Gerudo do a lot of dumb sh*t because minorites in this day and age can't take criticism from anyone. Also note when YOU (as in Link) tries to enter Gerudo town from any point, you get spotted automatically. Even at night.
You've earned a subscriber. I love all of your criticisms about their military, and I love Rome.
No way she put Genshin Impact Inazuma on this 😂
Good vid! Also, I love the use of the a hat in time ost :D
Dys ys a polisz dragon
Yeah one of my biggest gripes with the design of the towns in the new Zeldas is that they don't feel like they could actually defend themselves against the harsh wilderness of the world.
This kind of reminds me of Moblins from Zelda 1. There are a few pacifist Moblins that refuse to attack Link, and hide in caves, paying Link a lot of rupees. There is one Moblins in a dungeon that doesn’t harm Link, but just asks him for food and lets him pass if Link gives him food.
I think monsters in Hyrule work like how we used to think maggots work; they simply emerge from the ground or thin air in unpredictable places, rather than having to actually move in. That'd make keeping a region totally monster-free into a sysiphysian ordeal, explaining why no faction has bothered. This us supported a bit by the imagery of dorf's rise to power in TOTK's flashbacks, in which beams of gloom from the sky simply create fully-grown, equipped, and instantly malicious monsters all across Hyrule including on top of the future great sky island's fortified wall, right next to hylian soldiers. Who's to say the blood moon phenomenon doesn't do similar things now and then?
Yknow, apparently in Japanese ganondorf in totk makes some points about Rauru and Hyrule's godlike technology leading to everyone relying only on them, and forgetting how to thrive on their own. Seeing how badly unprepared the various hyrule-allied towns are for warfare, i think he has a very good point. Every group relied on the unity of Hyrule and her army to protect them in war, and grew so fat on peace that they were totally exposed after Hyrule suddenly collapsed in the calamity
2:02 nah then wouldn’t they be viruses 💀
The Gerudo seem to be going for a glass cannon bluff strategy: feigning overwhelming military power in an effort to scare off anyone who would otherwise dare to attack them. To their credit, this has worked to their benefit: unlike just about every other population in the BotW trilogy, the Gerudo have only been directly attacked by three groups: - the Yiga, who live in the same territory and who know the Gerudo defenses better than almost anyone - the Gibdo, who were literally engineered by Ganon to be difficult for them to take down - Ganondorf's army, who are also Gerudo The other tribes all have constant monster run-ins, and in some cases (like the Zora) have actually been reported to have been in domestic wars with said monsters. The Gerudo have not, because their reputation as a military people is enough to scare off the smaller, weaker mercenay groups who wouldn't have the knowledge or strength to do anything about it.
That was the strategy adopted by Russia few centuries ago (or at least I think it was Russia? I took my history classes a while ago, lol). They projected military might and other European countries feared it, that is until Russia got into a conflict and failed miserably. Afterwards other powers didn't take it too seriously for a while. The spectacular failure of Gerudo to defend against Gibdo could potentially be opening a door to harrassment from smaller groups.
@@Drakenwild You are correct, it was definitely Russia that had this strategy. Russia was flaunted as so strong for so long then failed to beat Japan, not even in full on war, but just in securing a river in China and Korea (and given racial ideas of the time of Asians being inferior, this loss was ESPECIALLY embarassing), and then also massively underperformed in WW1 to the point that they were forced to make peace with Germany and was heavily responsible for the Russian revolution that led to communist takeover.
The huge contrast between the defensive capability of the Gerudo in the BotW era vs how they were in OoT is staggering. The only reason Link was able to invade the fortress at all in OoT was likely due to him being a goddess chosen. Cause otherwise all the gerudo women in that era seriously need some damn glasses cause their field of vision is shit. Though one thing they still consistently lack is doors. Only the gerudo training ground and the opening out to desert itself had gates. But yeah, it's interesting just how different the gerudo structure is under Ganondorf compared to when it isn't
"Eat forbiden gummie resive noodle" ---A random scholar dragon---
Without anyone telling me I knew right away that the Gerudo's military might was not what it once was but I didnt realize how hard they had fallen until i saw this video
“Just don’t throw dragons at the them” I **will** throw dragons at them! I will throw **ALL** the dragons at them!
Gerudo writing adorns the Yiga hideout, the Blademaster cave, and the canyon is full of ancient walls and arches. I think before the Calamity the Gerudo lived in all those places.
Good point!
@@Drakenwildthe ancient Gerudo also built themselves a fortress: the Lightning Temple, lost under sand like so much of their empire. My guess is Gerudo was once greener, like the Sahara, and their population and cultural knowledge dwindled over centuries.
@@dbweinhaus Gerudo region was never greener. Its been a desert aaaaallllll the way back since Ocarina of Time's era. And probably long before then as its most likely the same area as Lanaryru Desert from SS, just renamed.
Which on of you will post the Goron video?
Great video, if I had one complaint, it is that it isn't nearly long enough.
I built a rito sword as part of a recent cosplay. The hole in the blade barely helps its weight problem. The sword is so chunky that it would weigh almost 19kg if it were made of steel. It also has an uncomfortable taper on the grip and very bad balance due to a thick hilt. At least it looks cool, though.
That's super cool! It kinda looks like it would have more volume of metal just to accomodate that hole when compared to a regular straight blade, right?
@Drakenwild Yes, it would. The vast majority of the weapons in this game are designed with no regard for real-world physics. My favorite example is the Zora sword. The flaired tip of the blade is wider than the sheath, so it couldn't actually be inserted. I learned that after about 60 hours of 3d printing.
@@ethan9593 oooouf, that's annoying!
I honestly thought that the blights didn't beat them physically but took over the champions bodies, and that would explain why the deceased champions only took form after the corresponding blight was defeated, and only talked at key points in the quest to retake the Devine Beasts because they had a small amount of power left. Would also explain why the weapons the blights used were so similar to the corresponding champions weapon
Not big surprise.
7:45 a thing you forgot to mention with the bridge too was that the narrow bridge is gery easy to see from rito village, meaning not only is it slow its also very easy to be seen and alerted for
