Hyrule Rito aren't based on parrots 😂 Kaneli is an owl, Teba is an eagle, most of the other adults are some kind of hawk, the kids are all canaries. I think Kass is the only one based on a parrot. The other Zora settlement is likely on Northern or Eastern Hyrule from AoL. There was already loads of loads of lands outside Hyrule; AoL have northern and eastern Hyrule (which are also the same places as Hytopia and the Drablands from TFH. There's Holodrum and Labrynna from the Oracle games and the continent which eventually houses New Hyrule has a long history (and I believe is one of the two continents you can see from the Palace of Winds in MC). Then there is less canon but could be used Calatia and Arcadia which have never been seen but are real places in the er... extended canon. Moria is from the extended canon too but could be entirely made up in universe. If they added in a world hopping mechanic there's Lorule, Termina, and the Twilight Realm that could be expanded on. Then there's fan favourites Koridai, Gamalon and Tolemac which I think could absolutely be used as large and interesting islands in a future game if Nintendo got over themselves (on a side note, they should get the fan remasters of FoE and WoG on Switch as they show that with some QoL updates they're actually pretty good games.*) *second side note: The fan that remastered FoE and WoG has an original game in the style of those releasing on Switch on valentines day. I'm really looking forward to it after playing his remasters. If nothing else it should provide some great ytpoop material.
Correct me, if I'm wrong, but I believe there's also a goron from outside of Hyrule sitting at the Bedrock Bistro. If I remember correctly, he says that he's traveling the world to try out different rocks from different areas, and he offers a side quest, where you have to collect flint and give it to him.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 That doesn't mean much as most of the new NPCs are implied to still be Hyrule native. Them not being in the previous game doesn't mean they didn't existed in lore or were outside.
I know this is a unpopular opinion, but I would love to see a third entry to the wild series taking place outside of Hyrule… this would work so well, you could even have a new main boss. It could be a kingdom made up of a mainland and a bunch of island which I would love.
Basically a Majora's Mask inspired openworld game with it's own independent story appart from Ganondorf, the Demon Tribe's curse and the Master Sword. Count me in as that would be so awesome.
Exactly what I’m saying. It can also focus on a villain like the Yiga or demise, a new tribe based on red, underwater exploration, etc. a third game has been hinted in TOTK
This is what I'd really like to see next, too. An upgraded and expanded return to Wind Waker's ocean exploration, maybe with additional deep sea diving, and some legitimately new cultures, allies, and enemies.
Yes, that’s what I want. A sequel to Tears set outside of Hyrule. The idea I have would be another sailing game with lots of islands, underwater exploration and ship to ship combat.
This is one thing I love in Tears of the Kingdom: The focus on the people of Hyrule. After Calamity Ganon took so much from the world and made people afraid of stepping outside, people are coming back together, making new friendships, and welcoming each other. I love the Pirate Ship quests on the coast hinting to a larger pirate fleet in the ocean, and I have a theory Yona could be a reference to the Green Zoras from the original NES Zelda. This game's side content and the focus on the people is a perfect subtle way of exploring its message.
It's possible Yona could belong to this other "breed" of Zora from the 2D Era of Zelda games yet it's worth noting that the classic enemy variant of Zora are known for their distinctive "triton ears" which they possess on each side of their heads. Since Yona does not share such a feature instead having a mantaray-shaped head it's clear she's not related to the enemy breed of Zora.
@@javiervasquez625 I'm really interested to see where Nintendo takes the next entry in Zelda. Maybe a Twilight Princess sequel, maybe a 3rd entry to Ocarina of Time? Who knows.
Cece is stated in npc dialogue that she is originally from Hateno. She's just been away studying fashion. If I remember correctly, she's the sister of the clothing shopkeeper in Hateno. As for Tauro, I think Paya mentioned him being from Lurelin. No idea where he could have been in Breath of the Wild. Maybe he was always there and just buffed up between the games?
Most of the BOTW Rito actually seem to be based on birds of prey, with Kaneli specifically being an owl. It was only Kass that seemed to be based on a parrot. I think there were also some Rito in BOTW that were based on ducks.
Tulin’s mother, Saki, looks more like a goose than the hawks and eagle of the others. Maybe she and Kass both originated from outside our known Hyrule. But even with the birds of prey theme, I don’t get how there’s only one owl. It’s like their form magically mirrors their personality or something. I love the designs, but logic and genetics do not apply 😅.
Well we know there are NPC’s that are in-game that imply they aren’t even from Hyrule and came from somewhere else so there’s definitely a much bigger world outside of the Kingdom of Hyrule.
I was already aware that Hyrule is not the only Kingdom, we have at least 3 confirmed neighbor Kingdoms/Nations (4 if you count New Hyrule in Spirit Tracks which was inhabited by those Lokomo People before I think) We have Hytopia fron Triforce Heroes, we have Holundrum from Oracle of Seasons and we have Labrynna from Oracle of Ages, both have their unique inhabitants of Humans, Gorons and Even the Ocarina of Time Zoras in Labrynna. These are all (distant) neighbor Regions that are not part of Hyrule
Don't forget about Zunari from The Wind Waker who's birthland is said to be located on a "very cold place far away from these seas" as he put it when you first meet him. Since he's clearly inspired by an Inuit eskimo that means there must be an Alaska-like place somewhere out there in the Zelda world.
A Link or Zelda taken from Hyrule that was invaded and they were raised elsewhere would be cool. Maybe the relics of Hyrule that once kept it safe are inaccessible, so they borrow the relics of their adopted land to fight back. Just spitballing!
Adding to your idea, what if we can visit different worlds through different parts of the wilds map? I can totally see taking a wrong/right turn in the lost woods to end up in Termina again. Heads up, adding map overlays is more of a z axis addition. The x and y axis are more akin to longitude/latitude.
Tauro does get an offhand comment from Paya about his "Lurelin phrasing", so it feels safe to assume that hes from there. However, it wouldnt be surprising if he was traveling during the Calamity and had just come back from some far off land!
Sophie explicitly states that her sister, Cece, recently returned from her travels. If I'm not mistaken, their father, Seldon, also makes mention of this. Now as to whether she confined her travels to Hyrule (this version is quite large after all) or went beyond its borders is anyone's guess, but either way, she is originally from Hateno. While it is certainly possible he could be from another village outside of Hyrule, I do not recall Penn stating as such. He is not the only unique design among the Rito. Elder Kaneli is fittingly designed after an owl. Kass is designed after a macaw. Most of the rest, if not all, resemble birds of prey, including Teba and Revali, but even these two are made distinct from the others because of their story involvement. There are a few variations, naturally, but there is what one might call a generic Rito design just as there is for the Gorons, Zora, and even the human tribes of the land. There's also the fact that Kass is seemingly known to Penn since he can be found in Kass's retreat on Washa's Bluff. He doesn't mention him by name, but refers to him as a famous bard who once came there to clear his mind. Naturally, this does not mean that Kass could not have been known outside of Hyrule, but would an outsider have known this fact? I'm guessing not unless Kass himself told him of it. To me it was like Kass regarded it as his secret place, known only to a few. The way Penn refers to Kass is concerning because he almost speaks as if the bard in question passed away long ago. Kass's whereabouts is one thing I would like answered by Nintendo. While he could be traveling, it is not unfathomable that he fell to the Upheaval.
I'd love it if Cass becomes this next generation of the "Composer Brothers". He can learn about the actual magic in music and could bring back old songs that can act like spells. Just like the classic Zelda games.
This sorta gives me an idea. A future Zelda game could have invaders from another land be the antagonist. Hell, I think it would even be cool if Ganondorf somehow gained political control of some other country/continent/land and then used their military to invade Hyrule. Something like that. I could see part of the story taking place in Hyrule, trying to fight off the invading forces. And then midway through the story you take the fight to them.
What if, hear me out… What if the next game’s villains are the yiga clan and demise and they took over hyrule? The 4 neighboring kingdoms have been effected and all of the people in hyrule have evacuated while there are soldiers who are kept prisoners on Hyrule’s surface, sky, and depths? The 4 kingdoms were affected by demise as more monsters have ran rampage and a tribe from pre hyrule, known as the lomei, has their tech spawn in and have a 4th map known as the realms which is where they came from? You’ll never go back to hyrule for the endgame until you complete all of the 4 kingdom’s main quests.
I would like to see the domain Yona is from…. if Nintendo, Aonuma and Fujibayashi is planning to do a sequel to Tears of the Kingdom or Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.
Not gonna happen without contradicting the time *loop* shown in Tears of the Kingdom which PREVENTS Terrako/Walking Plotdevice from messing up Zelda's travel to the past which CREATED CALAMITY GANON.
@@legomaster2538 Exactly. A _non canon_ spin-off at this point is the only way i can see them delving deeper into this current incarnation of Ganondorf as they focus on the next big Zelda title appart from the Era of the Wild.
I wouldn't be opposed to multiplying the map size by 4 (2x per axis) and have ships, boats, etc. return as vehicles for the ocean, a state similar in style to the Roman Empire to Hyrule's North, maybe Holodrum, Labryna, or an abandoned "old Hyrule" to Hyrule's West, etc. If the next console is as powerful as a PS4 (ideally a PS4 Pro), I'd love to see it
I'd love if the next game had hyrule rebuilding and link journey's to lands beyond to solve evil outside from other demon lords to help build relationships between the lands and get assistance in the rebuilding of the lands. Sidon asking for help with his wifes lands to recover from a drought that has come, the Rito newsman asking for help stopping the swamp from destroying the forest dwellings of his tribe, Gorons wanting rocks, and the fishing tribe with a group of merchants from lands beyond seeking help repelling evils.
or even the merchants already work for some evil, and might be behind the troubles affecting those distant landed zora, goron and rito. (maybe even bringing in some of the other races back like minish or the moles from skyward sword)
Yep can confirm: Holodrum, Labrynna, Zunari's birthland from The Wind Waker, the Land of the Lokomos and Hytopia all exist far beyond the borders of the kingdom of Hyrule. 👌😉
@@JossHenryterminas in a parallel world from Hyrule like lorule kokalint island (how ever it's spelt lol) the Twilight realm i say those and spread from the other,the other exist on the same plan as hyrule
@@JossHenry Mind you Termina is a _parallel world_ to Hyrule very similar to Lorule and the World of the Ocean King from Phantom Hourglass so neither of this realms exist in the same world/dimension as Hyrule's.
We've been in far away lands before. Phantom hour glass was leading away from hyrule and Spirit Tracks was the set up and frontier of a new hyrule. And although Majoras mask is sort of technically an alternate dark world esque universe - it existed by link leaving hyrule to travel distant lands
I am pretty sure it's said by Cece's sister that she was away travelling and returned back home just recently. But that of course also point to the fact she probably travelled beyond the reaches of Hyrule.
It was stated that Cece traveled abroad to inspire her fashion sense, so she was from Hateno and grew there, but was abroad during the events of breath of the wild.
I believe beyond Hyrule we could find Labrynna and Holodrum, those names are hinted in Hyrule’s map. Also I like to imagine that beyond gerudo desert lies the old Hyrule, seen in OOT.
For future games: I've been wishing for a new game. In this game a background story of Ganondorf is displayed where you get to experience him grow from a child to and adult. With the purpose to kinda understand why he even is so obsessed with power. who are his parents exactly? (names, were they good parents ) and what were his relationships like with his people? Another aspect to the game I'd love added is where link can grow up as well ( child, teen, adult )while also showing his family background and more. And maybe give him siblings too. I also thought for a plot, it would be cool to use time travel like in the game "ocarina of time" but in this game link can travel back in time (become a child) to when ganon was a child with the purpose to befriend him to try to prevent catastrophe in the future. You'd meet ganon by saving him and then travel with him, completing tasks as partners. In this game, you'd be required to find a way to destroy the influence on Ganondorf to prevent him from becoming power hungry, but the twist is it all fails once Ganondorf secretly becomes jealous of and obsessed with his new friend links ablilties, which ultimately brings ganon to betray link in the end, so you'll have to fight him, lose the fight and all your strength to be pulled back to your original time to then need to re gather your strength to save the world. I love detailed stories in games but that develops over time as you get further into game play. It would be fun to have a child link again that grows up over time where he is in training to become the night of zelda. All these events I hope for and hope it can be exactly like the breath of the wild open world. Botw and totk are both really fun games with so much to do.
Great video HG! Makes you wonder if salt-water Zora have finally evolved elsewhere in the world. I'm pretty sure the reason given for the Zora evolving into the Rito in Wind Waker was that they couldn't survive in the sea at that time!
I REALLY want a third and final game in the series to be like Majora's mask where it's same engine, new world. We start out in the Hyrule we know, and then we are suddenly and unwillingly brought into a completely new area, a new kingdom. New and familiar species, new regions, new tech, new characters, and new cultures. Or maybe it's like the new Pokemon DLC where we can freely travel between Hyrule and other lands.
Or what if the yiga clan and demise take over hyrule and everybody flees except some of the soldiers as they are kept prisoners in the sky, depths, and surface?
Holodrum and Labrynna: Are we a joke to you? Seriously tho, I'd like to think that those two places still exist out there in some way. Would be cool to visit them again. Seeing something entirely new would be really cool too though. (Hytopia is a joke to me, yes.)
Holodrum and Labrynna most DEFINETLY still exist as both realms are where the 3 Oracles (named after the 3 Golden Goddesses) exist to keep the entire Zelda world in check very much like Zelda herself through their own divine power as Oracles. Even if you argue that the 2 lands could have mysteriously ceased to exist at some point the fact remains that the 3 Oracles's descendants would still live in wathever remained of these 2 lands in order to fulfill their god-given duties as the Oracles.
Here's the crazy thing. Maybe 10 years from now... people will actually expand THIS game and truly go beyond the 'borders' of Hyrule in the game. They'll be able to code new areas to explore and even quests. That's where so much is headed.
Im interested in Oot's world - for example, we see the Gerudo Fortress, but we dont see their home. They put a foothold there in Hyrule. I'd love to see their kingdom
I'm inclined to believe that Yona could potentially be from Labrynna, the kingdom we explore in Oracle of Ages. Yes, she may not outright mention anything related to Labrynna in TOTK, but both Labrynna as well as Holodrum are only two out of three kingdoms/worlds outside of Hyrule that we have knowledge of. The other being Termina from Majora's Mask. As for Penn, I have no idea where he could be from. But for the sake of consistency, let's just say he's from Holodrum from Oracle of Seasons. The thought of these two characters originating from these two places makes me speculate that the next big 3D Zelda game could take place in either Labrynna, Holodrum or a combination of the two. This could be the case considering there have been rumors that the next Zelda game(s) to be remade would be Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons in a similar style to the Link's Awakening remake could be a "teaser" of sorts.
Technically there's New Hyrule as well. May not be the kingdom as it is in Spirit Tracks outside of the Adult Timeline, but the location is still out there, no doubt with some people living there
@@Mari_Izu I thought of those two places as well. But I was mainly referring to Zelda games where the whole game is played in that kingdom/world. That is true with Hytopia, but since Tri Force Heroes is on a set path, I didn't count it.
There's also Zunari's birthland from The Wind Waker which, according to Zunari's background, might be very much Alaska with many Inuit-looking Hylians like himself living there.
To be fair an ever-increasing open world scope can easily contradict world building depth, which in a sense TOTK demonstrated by having to stretch some amount of content over much more space. Perceived depth _can_ rely on the mystery of distant lands and objectives, in the way that BOTW did with an entirely new map and, as you're doing now, by looking in the distance and wondering what could be there that would put the region we know into perspective... But once we reach a place it has to have a minimum of density, otherwise it's just another mountain or just another ruin. Even unique-looking structures can fall flat, like TOTK's Zonaite Forge Island or the diving rings that are initially very intriguing but have relatively little to pay off. Games with segmented areas can more easily increase density while having variety, which are two ways to add depth. I don't think (or even necessarily hope) that the Zelda devs will reduce the overall seamless connection of areas, but to make some parts feel more substantial they'll have to mix scope, in-scope restrictions, and how much they flesh out not only main points of interest but secondary ones too... If I had to decide myself I'd stop pushing a bigger scope because that's not relevant by itself and I'm not even sure it sells better past a point, with statements such as "12 times the size of the older game" or "16 times the details" not having aged particularly well... And even if Nintendo does have the means to do it, projects taking longer and longer don't necessarily benefit from it.
I love the introduction of Yona and Penn but always liked to think of Hyrule as a Pangea, I mean the stakes would be higher if there is only one piece of land.
Tauro is definitely from Lurelin Village; a conversation between him and Paya says so. Considering how Zonai obsessed he is maybe he was off in a ruin we couldn't access in Faron lol
I get so depressed when I think about how amazing DLC or a third title in this series would/could have been. We could have travelled to a different kingdom entirely. There was SO MUCH potential 😞
wasn’t Ordon in twilight princess outside of Hyrule as well? bc Link at the beginning of the game was asked “you’ve never been to Hyrule before right?”
Yes and no since it's highly implied in Twilight Princess that the Hyrule we see in the game has _mobilized_ slightly northeast from where the previous Hyrule from Ocarina of Time rested as a product of the Gerudo War following Link's revelation of Ganondorf's plans to the king of Hyrule kickstarting the conflict. With this in mind and the comparison between Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess's Hyrules the Ordon Province would be located around the area where Lon Lon Ranch once stood on.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 As i said above the map of Twilight Princess fits slightly with the one from Ocarina of Time with all of the northern landmarks like the Hyrule Market Town and the Temple of Time having moved southwest in this current incarnation of the kingdom. Comparing the old Hyrule from Ocarina of Time with the new one from Twilight Princess locates Ordon Village somewhere around Hyrule Fields where Lon Lon Ranch also happened to be located on. As to what the wiki said about the Hero of Twilight living on the same treehouse as the Hero of Time that information is _wrong_ as it was taken from the inaccurate Zelda Encyclopedia which was written by a japanese fan community who filled a lot of it's pages with mere fan especulation rather than canonical Lore.
If you're looking for Zeldatubers uploading regularly, definitely check out CaptBurgerson! Especially his Dungeon Design videos, top notch stuff! Also check out Triforce Trends who I believe is getting back into more regular uploads :)
id love for the future to take a more elder scrolls style approach to worlds where lore and people from other lands are scattered throughout the game, as well as future games possibly taking place in these different lands.
I've mentioned in numerous videos before on multiple channels that I hope that the next zelda game keeps the same link and zelda, even the same hyrule. But the main story happens outside of hyrule, specifically the land where Yona is from. Even keeping the "old" hyrule from botw and totk, with the main setting being in a completely different region can open up a ton of new lore and backstory. I hope this comes to fruition
Cece is specifically said to be from Hateno and returned there after making a name for her brand Sadly i dont think there is any meaning to the lore of outside hyrule because the creators have expressed how they don't have any greater plans for the series and just come up with stuff on a per game basis, so I don't expect anything to come of this
Not Termina, though. Much as I liked it, Nintendo said it was mostly made up by Majoras's Mask and probably ceased to be after Link and Skull Kid left. Plus it was a different dimension.
I just came to the thought that Cece could come from the kingdom in Triforce Heroes (I forgot the name), where fashion is extremely important to their culture and even royalty
I have a theory that that next Zelda game will be smaller in scale, so something similar to Link’s Awakening in a different land seems more than possible.
I honestly don't really like the theory that Botw and Totk happen after all other timelines converge, because it really doesn't leave much room for other games to happen in between, since the lore and events in such games probably couldn't be reflected in the convergence.
According to recent statements made by Aonuma and Fujibayashi the very history of The Legend of Zelda works as _legends_ which are passed down across the many timelines leading to people either looking at them as historical events or as mere fiction to entertain and teach people about tales of bravery and Courage. With this in mind it's perfectly possible for Nintendo to make games in between the convergence based solely on the fact the past games across the 3 timelines have all become _legends_ which may or may not have happened long ago in the forgotten past.
I'm pretty sure it was established that Cici is from Hateno, (spoilers) When you complete the quests around her, you learn that she loves the vegetables from her youth, and I'm pretty sure it explicitly says from Hateno. But, was she as interesting in Breath as she is in Tears? Probably not. She was living a humble life, enjoying veggies, and honing her fashion craft. At some point between the games, she begins to release fashion designs and, possibly to her own surprise, becomes quite famous, leading to her developing a bit of an ego, and becoming the Cici we know in Tears. It makes perfect sense to me.
Definitely believe that with the introduction of Penn and Yona that we'll be visiting outside of Hyrule for the next game. Usually after a couple of games based in Hyrule, Nintendo has a tendency to make one or two based outside of Hyrule. Totally here for all of it! 😁 I think we're all ready for some new stuff considering they won't explain ANYTHING of the other variety it seems 😭😭
Imagine if the next Zelda involved the Neighboring Kingdom of Hyrule invading or declaring war. This would be more a detective Zelda game where link is tasked with discovering why this is happening. Facing new trials and challenges, the faith of Hyrule and the other Kingdom will fall upon Link's shoulders.
My guess is they’ll have a smaller world - something like say Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword. And the games will go back to more traditional Zelda tropes (linear story, dungeons, unique weapons, etc). However, I think the world will be fully populated with lots of unique NPC’s! Not that I necessarily want another Majora’s Mask “3 days repeating” thing going on, I did appreciate all of the lore and world building it did with its characters! They could and should do something like this where almost every NPC has some sort of optional quest that will expand upon that character and make the world feel more real because of it as you’ll get to better know these characters.
We might go to different places & kingdoms in sequels like Majora's Mask. But I have a hard time imagining that we would go to different kingdoms if Hyrule is in danger. I also feel that having new kingdoms would make things more complicated.
Personally i feel that as long as a current reincarnation of Ganondorf has been vanquished by the current reincarnation of Link that would allow the Hero to "go on vacation" sort of speak due to Demise's Curse having already been countered during this specific Era giving Link an open amount of time to go on his own adventures. As long as the current Ganondorf is taken down Link has the freedom to travel to other such places without the fear of the Curse been a constant factor.
Maybe Yona is from Labrynna. There's also the Great Bay but I don't think she came from another dimension. 3:21 The Rito did evolve from Zora but isn't that place Death Mountain? I have no idea where the other Rito might be. I don't think they are the same as Wind Waker's Rito. Since Zora still exist in this timeline it's probably not Wind Waker's timeline.
I was assuming Yona lived at another domain within Hyrule. Wasn’t there one in in Hebra during Twilight Princess? She was Sidon’s childhood friend wasn’t she? Maybe she grew up in the more well known ZD and at some point either her parents, or she, if she was old enough, was assigned to work/live in a different part of Hyrule.
"Adventure Time, c'mon grab your friends! We'll go to very, distant lands With Link, Sidon, Tulin and Riju, The fun will never end, it's Adventure Time!"
I would love such a game but i would prefer it if Link travelled alone to such lands in order for him to meet brand _new_ companions to assist him in sorting wathever Evil is causing problems outside Hyrule. That said that would be so awesome.
the talus hearts are heart contaners but for Yunbo thats why there just rocks to link. the same for hearts pieces if its not for you there just heart shaped rock
I mean we have seen other lands in previous games. What if Holodrum and Labrynna still exist in the current time line? What if Termina does exist in the real world and isn't simply just an alternate reality? What of New Hyrule from Spirit Tracks? It was a seperate continent from Old Hyrule if I remember correctly. Theres so many possibilities.
I just chalked up the sudden population explosion across Hyrule as law of conservation of detail...in this case, not having any more characters than necessary. Like when you are walking into a Pokemon game city and there's half a dozen buildings total representing the entire city. The burned down homes in the ruins of Hyrule aren't really big enough to live in, with the same half-dozen or so designs copied and pasted all over the land. Before TotK I commented that the remaining population of Hyrule, if you took it literally, wasn't enough to sustain them in the coming generations, especially when at least three other groups would be zeroing in on stealing your members for mates...Sheikah, Gerudo, and maybe Zora. (No on the Gorons and the Rito...eh, not impossible, but not as likely.) And...that's still true, if you take it literally, even with the sudden increase in new NPC's. There's suddenly a lot more Sheikah, Gorons, and Zora as well to steal yo man (or woman), lol. 100 years just hasn't been long enough to replenish the incredible loss of life, and there's not enough left to avoid inbreeding, long term. So you have to take the issue with NPC's with a grain of salt.
As a kid I always assumed Termina was another land or kingdom instead of another world. However Nintendo could easily recon Termina into another land or kingdom outside of Hyrule. I'd be down with Termina being re-made i an open world Zelda game like BOTW $ TOTK. That said I feel using Termina would be a good way to introduce a new land in a New Zelda Game. Also the Land at war with Ikana could be added to thst world map as well. Include two nations or lands in one game.
There is only one game I know of that shows every land nearby to Hyrule, Zelda II Link's Adventure. Also I hope there is a dlc that expands the seas...
As i understand it all the areas shown in the map of Zelda 2 are in fact _also_ a part of Hyrule so they are not actually locations from outside of the kingdom.
That would have been cool to have surviving Depths-dwellers. Depths-Zora could be blind or at least very pale, like cave fish. (I guess they'd have light sources and glowfish to light stuff up).
Here's a thought what if nintendo expanded the Zelda franchise by adding different plot Lines like what happened to the hero of time say after link was sent back in time after the end of ocarina. he was task to go to a different land and save it that would be cool. The possibility of a different link saving a different land. To build a bigger story of Zelda would be an interesting thing to do
As the game, specially TOTK implies, this is the adult timeline, and the entire world is unflooded now, (that's when the zonai came down to hyrule, after everything, not at the beggining) so abandoned New hyrule still exists somewhere else. All those characters can come from that kingdom and all the islands of the ocean king's world (I know all of history of PH was something like link awakening, but all these places do exist.)
honestly I am starting to think that this Hyrule is just a completely different Hyrule from the Hyrule of past games and that the other Hyrule is still out there
It clearly is as Rauru's Hyrule lacks many of the iconic landmarks and locations from previous games making it clear it's impossible for this incarnation of the kingdom to be the very same one from before The Minish Cap. As Mari_Izu above said Nintendo has practically soft rebooted the timeline by introducing a brand new kingdom with a brand new origin.
I hope you're having a nice day
You too!
Thank you I love your work 😍❤️
Hope you had a great day.
Hyrule Rito aren't based on parrots 😂
Kaneli is an owl, Teba is an eagle, most of the other adults are some kind of hawk, the kids are all canaries.
I think Kass is the only one based on a parrot.
The other Zora settlement is likely on Northern or Eastern Hyrule from AoL.
There was already loads of loads of lands outside Hyrule; AoL have northern and eastern Hyrule (which are also the same places as Hytopia and the Drablands from TFH. There's Holodrum and Labrynna from the Oracle games and the continent which eventually houses New Hyrule has a long history (and I believe is one of the two continents you can see from the Palace of Winds in MC). Then there is less canon but could be used Calatia and Arcadia which have never been seen but are real places in the er... extended canon. Moria is from the extended canon too but could be entirely made up in universe.
If they added in a world hopping mechanic there's Lorule, Termina, and the Twilight Realm that could be expanded on.
Then there's fan favourites Koridai, Gamalon and Tolemac which I think could absolutely be used as large and interesting islands in a future game if Nintendo got over themselves (on a side note, they should get the fan remasters of FoE and WoG on Switch as they show that with some QoL updates they're actually pretty good games.*)
*second side note: The fan that remastered FoE and WoG has an original game in the style of those releasing on Switch on valentines day. I'm really looking forward to it after playing his remasters. If nothing else it should provide some great ytpoop material.
Cece is from Hateno, she may have travelled outside of Hyrule to spread her fashion sense. She's a relative of a couple of the characters in Hateno.
Well in Zelda lore there is one coutry i can think of that is also obsessed with fasion: Hytopia, so she might have gone there before/during botw.
@@silentone3357 Makes sense.
Correct me, if I'm wrong, but I believe there's also a goron from outside of Hyrule sitting at the Bedrock Bistro. If I remember correctly, he says that he's traveling the world to try out different rocks from different areas, and he offers a side quest, where you have to collect flint and give it to him.
You can continue giving him flint even after you complete the sidequest. 1,000 Rupees for ripened flint is a pretty good deal.
He doesn't seem to be in Breath of the Wild.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 That doesn't mean much as most of the new NPCs are implied to still be Hyrule native. Them not being in the previous game doesn't mean they didn't existed in lore or were outside.
He's from the abandoned new hyrule from spirit tracks. I have no doubts
@@utsuroid Does that place even exist if the world wasn't flooded?
I know this is a unpopular opinion, but I would love to see a third entry to the wild series taking place outside of Hyrule… this would work so well, you could even have a new main boss. It could be a kingdom made up of a mainland and a bunch of island which I would love.
Basically a Majora's Mask inspired openworld game with it's own independent story appart from Ganondorf, the Demon Tribe's curse and the Master Sword. Count me in as that would be so awesome.
Exactly what I’m saying. It can also focus on a villain like the Yiga or demise, a new tribe based on red, underwater exploration, etc. a third game has been hinted in TOTK
This is what I'd really like to see next, too. An upgraded and expanded return to Wind Waker's ocean exploration, maybe with additional deep sea diving, and some legitimately new cultures, allies, and enemies.
As a new game I can see this being an unpopular opinion to some, but as an expansion to Totk this would be incredible
Yes, that’s what I want. A sequel to Tears set outside of Hyrule. The idea I have would be another sailing game with lots of islands, underwater exploration and ship to ship combat.
This is one thing I love in Tears of the Kingdom: The focus on the people of Hyrule. After Calamity Ganon took so much from the world and made people afraid of stepping outside, people are coming back together, making new friendships, and welcoming each other.
I love the Pirate Ship quests on the coast hinting to a larger pirate fleet in the ocean, and I have a theory Yona could be a reference to the Green Zoras from the original NES Zelda. This game's side content and the focus on the people is a perfect subtle way of exploring its message.
It's possible Yona could belong to this other "breed" of Zora from the 2D Era of Zelda games yet it's worth noting that the classic enemy variant of Zora are known for their distinctive "triton ears" which they possess on each side of their heads. Since Yona does not share such a feature instead having a mantaray-shaped head it's clear she's not related to the enemy breed of Zora.
@@javiervasquez625 I'm really interested to see where Nintendo takes the next entry in Zelda. Maybe a Twilight Princess sequel, maybe a 3rd entry to Ocarina of Time? Who knows.
@@javiervasquez625 was she not related to Muzu? Like is that completely confirmed, that they aren’t?
I thought the Green Zoras are reptilian.
@@shadesofjadeI didn't see any information that they are related.
Cece is stated in npc dialogue that she is originally from Hateno. She's just been away studying fashion. If I remember correctly, she's the sister of the clothing shopkeeper in Hateno. As for Tauro, I think Paya mentioned him being from Lurelin. No idea where he could have been in Breath of the Wild. Maybe he was always there and just buffed up between the games?
Yes, Cece is Seldon's daughter and Sophie's sister.
tauro could have gone out to sea in breath of the wilds
@@darkdagger5237 Good point. I didn't think about that.
I imagine Cece went to Hytopia, which is north of Hyrule, for fashion ideas.
Most of the BOTW Rito actually seem to be based on birds of prey, with Kaneli specifically being an owl. It was only Kass that seemed to be based on a parrot. I think there were also some Rito in BOTW that were based on ducks.
Rito based on ducks in BotW? No most are the same species except for the chief and Kass.
Tulin’s mother, Saki, looks more like a goose than the hawks and eagle of the others. Maybe she and Kass both originated from outside our known Hyrule. But even with the birds of prey theme, I don’t get how there’s only one owl. It’s like their form magically mirrors their personality or something. I love the designs, but logic and genetics do not apply 😅.
Still really bummed that TOTK isn't getting any DLC. It would have been really fun to travel with Penn to a land outside of Hyrule. But alas.
We can still get dlc
An area that always intrigued me was the grassy plains across the north of Eldin.
And the spiky islands
Well we know there are NPC’s that are in-game that imply they aren’t even from Hyrule and came from somewhere else so there’s definitely a much bigger world outside of the Kingdom of Hyrule.
I was already aware that Hyrule is not the only Kingdom, we have at least 3 confirmed neighbor Kingdoms/Nations (4 if you count New Hyrule in Spirit Tracks which was inhabited by those Lokomo People before I think)
We have Hytopia fron Triforce Heroes, we have Holundrum from Oracle of Seasons and we have Labrynna from Oracle of Ages, both have their unique inhabitants of Humans, Gorons and Even the Ocarina of Time Zoras in Labrynna.
These are all (distant) neighbor Regions that are not part of Hyrule
Don't forget about Zunari from The Wind Waker who's birthland is said to be located on a "very cold place far away from these seas" as he put it when you first meet him. Since he's clearly inspired by an Inuit eskimo that means there must be an Alaska-like place somewhere out there in the Zelda world.
I believe there are 4 other kingdoms beyond hyrule. All of the directions seem very distinct
A Link or Zelda taken from Hyrule that was invaded and they were raised elsewhere would be cool. Maybe the relics of Hyrule that once kept it safe are inaccessible, so they borrow the relics of their adopted land to fight back. Just spitballing!
The thing I’ve hoped beyond hope for is for the next few games to follow the hero of the wild as he explores these lands beyond
It would be so cool to explore beyond the main setting
Adding to your idea, what if we can visit different worlds through different parts of the wilds map? I can totally see taking a wrong/right turn in the lost woods to end up in Termina again.
Heads up, adding map overlays is more of a z axis addition. The x and y axis are more akin to longitude/latitude.
Depends on their preference? Some games use Z for "Up" and others use Y.
Tauro does get an offhand comment from Paya about his "Lurelin phrasing", so it feels safe to assume that hes from there. However, it wouldnt be surprising if he was traveling during the Calamity and had just come back from some far off land!
He is, he just told me he was from there actually. (From Lurelin)
Sophie explicitly states that her sister, Cece, recently returned from her travels. If I'm not mistaken, their father, Seldon, also makes mention of this. Now as to whether she confined her travels to Hyrule (this version is quite large after all) or went beyond its borders is anyone's guess, but either way, she is originally from Hateno.
While it is certainly possible he could be from another village outside of Hyrule, I do not recall Penn stating as such. He is not the only unique design among the Rito. Elder Kaneli is fittingly designed after an owl. Kass is designed after a macaw. Most of the rest, if not all, resemble birds of prey, including Teba and Revali, but even these two are made distinct from the others because of their story involvement. There are a few variations, naturally, but there is what one might call a generic Rito design just as there is for the Gorons, Zora, and even the human tribes of the land.
There's also the fact that Kass is seemingly known to Penn since he can be found in Kass's retreat on Washa's Bluff. He doesn't mention him by name, but refers to him as a famous bard who once came there to clear his mind. Naturally, this does not mean that Kass could not have been known outside of Hyrule, but would an outsider have known this fact? I'm guessing not unless Kass himself told him of it. To me it was like Kass regarded it as his secret place, known only to a few. The way Penn refers to Kass is concerning because he almost speaks as if the bard in question passed away long ago. Kass's whereabouts is one thing I would like answered by Nintendo. While he could be traveling, it is not unfathomable that he fell to the Upheaval.
I'd love it if Cass becomes this next generation of the "Composer Brothers". He can learn about the actual magic in music and could bring back old songs that can act like spells. Just like the classic Zelda games.
I really wanted the Song of Storms to make a comeback in Tears of the Kingdom. I wanted to make it rain in Gerudo desert.
This sorta gives me an idea. A future Zelda game could have invaders from another land be the antagonist. Hell, I think it would even be cool if Ganondorf somehow gained political control of some other country/continent/land and then used their military to invade Hyrule. Something like that.
I could see part of the story taking place in Hyrule, trying to fight off the invading forces. And then midway through the story you take the fight to them.
What if, hear me out…
What if the next game’s villains are the yiga clan and demise and they took over hyrule? The 4 neighboring kingdoms have been effected and all of the people in hyrule have evacuated while there are soldiers who are kept prisoners on Hyrule’s surface, sky, and depths? The 4 kingdoms were affected by demise as more monsters have ran rampage and a tribe from pre hyrule, known as the lomei, has their tech spawn in and have a 4th map known as the realms which is where they came from? You’ll never go back to hyrule for the endgame until you complete all of the 4 kingdom’s main quests.
I would like to see the domain Yona is from…. if Nintendo, Aonuma and Fujibayashi is planning to do a sequel to Tears of the Kingdom or Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.
Not gonna happen without contradicting the time *loop* shown in Tears of the Kingdom which PREVENTS Terrako/Walking Plotdevice from messing up Zelda's travel to the past which CREATED CALAMITY GANON.
It could potentially it happen in a spin-off. I have high doubts we’ll get another mainline game in this era of Zelda.
@@legomaster2538 Exactly. A _non canon_ spin-off at this point is the only way i can see them delving deeper into this current incarnation of Ganondorf as they focus on the next big Zelda title appart from the Era of the Wild.
I wouldn't be opposed to multiplying the map size by 4 (2x per axis) and have ships, boats, etc. return as vehicles for the ocean, a state similar in style to the Roman Empire to Hyrule's North, maybe Holodrum, Labryna, or an abandoned "old Hyrule" to Hyrule's West, etc. If the next console is as powerful as a PS4 (ideally a PS4 Pro), I'd love to see it
I'd love if the next game had hyrule rebuilding and link journey's to lands beyond to solve evil outside from other demon lords to help build relationships between the lands and get assistance in the rebuilding of the lands. Sidon asking for help with his wifes lands to recover from a drought that has come, the Rito newsman asking for help stopping the swamp from destroying the forest dwellings of his tribe, Gorons wanting rocks, and the fishing tribe with a group of merchants from lands beyond seeking help repelling evils.
or even the merchants already work for some evil, and might be behind the troubles affecting those distant landed zora, goron and rito. (maybe even bringing in some of the other races back like minish or the moles from skyward sword)
It is my firm conviction that there are other kingdoms beyond those borders! Perhaps we'll know someday. Great video! 🤩
There is if you played ages and seasons and triforce heros they are all set in the same world as Hyrule there all neighboring kingdoms
@@deathfoxz6 Indeed you're correct! Or Termina for instance
Yep can confirm: Holodrum, Labrynna, Zunari's birthland from The Wind Waker, the Land of the Lokomos and Hytopia all exist far beyond the borders of the kingdom of Hyrule. 👌😉
@@JossHenryterminas in a parallel world from Hyrule like lorule kokalint island (how ever it's spelt lol) the Twilight realm i say those and spread from the other,the other exist on the same plan as hyrule
@@JossHenry Mind you Termina is a _parallel world_ to Hyrule very similar to Lorule and the World of the Ocean King from Phantom Hourglass so neither of this realms exist in the same world/dimension as Hyrule's.
We've been in far away lands before.
Phantom hour glass was leading away from hyrule and Spirit Tracks was the set up and frontier of a new hyrule.
And although Majoras mask is sort of technically an alternate dark world esque universe - it existed by link leaving hyrule to travel distant lands
I am pretty sure it's said by Cece's sister that she was away travelling and returned back home just recently. But that of course also point to the fact she probably travelled beyond the reaches of Hyrule.
The next game could really set itself apart by taking place in multiple kingdoms rather than just Hyrule.
Yeah 4 kingdoms with helping all races!
It was stated that Cece traveled abroad to inspire her fashion sense, so she was from Hateno and grew there, but was abroad during the events of breath of the wild.
I believe beyond Hyrule we could find Labrynna and Holodrum, those names are hinted in Hyrule’s map. Also I like to imagine that beyond gerudo desert lies the old Hyrule, seen in OOT.
For anyone reading this. Good morning, good evening, and good night🗿

Truman show?
Oh hi there Truman!
Thank you my friend!
Same to you, have a good one!
For future games: I've been wishing for a new game. In this game a background story of Ganondorf is displayed where you get to experience him grow from a child to and adult. With the purpose to kinda understand why he even is so obsessed with power. who are his parents exactly? (names, were they good parents ) and what were his relationships like with his people? Another aspect to the game I'd love added is where link can grow up as well ( child, teen, adult )while also showing his family background and more. And maybe give him siblings too. I also thought for a plot, it would be cool to use time travel like in the game "ocarina of time" but in this game link can travel back in time (become a child) to when ganon was a child with the purpose to befriend him to try to prevent catastrophe in the future. You'd meet ganon by saving him and then travel with him, completing tasks as partners. In this game, you'd be required to find a way to destroy the influence on Ganondorf to prevent him from becoming power hungry, but the twist is it all fails once Ganondorf secretly becomes jealous of and obsessed with his new friend links ablilties, which ultimately brings ganon to betray link in the end, so you'll have to fight him, lose the fight and all your strength to be pulled back to your original time to then need to re gather your strength to save the world. I love detailed stories in games but that develops over time as you get further into game play. It would be fun to have a child link again that grows up over time where he is in training to become the night of zelda. All these events I hope for and hope it can be exactly like the breath of the wild open world. Botw and totk are both really fun games with so much to do.
I wonder if West of the Gerudo Desert is Termina with for large Humanoid Sky Islands and one Sphere with a Face hovering over a town.
Kass's specie in ToTk was originaly inspired by an Oot manga. We learned in, they were migrating.
Great video HG! Makes you wonder if salt-water Zora have finally evolved elsewhere in the world. I'm pretty sure the reason given for the Zora evolving into the Rito in Wind Waker was that they couldn't survive in the sea at that time!
I REALLY want a third and final game in the series to be like Majora's mask where it's same engine, new world. We start out in the Hyrule we know, and then we are suddenly and unwillingly brought into a completely new area, a new kingdom. New and familiar species, new regions, new tech, new characters, and new cultures.
Or maybe it's like the new Pokemon DLC where we can freely travel between Hyrule and other lands.
Or what if the yiga clan and demise take over hyrule and everybody flees except some of the soldiers as they are kept prisoners in the sky, depths, and surface?
Holodrum and Labrynna: Are we a joke to you?
Seriously tho, I'd like to think that those two places still exist out there in some way. Would be cool to visit them again.
Seeing something entirely new would be really cool too though.
(Hytopia is a joke to me, yes.)
Holodrum and Labrynna most DEFINETLY still exist as both realms are where the 3 Oracles (named after the 3 Golden Goddesses) exist to keep the entire Zelda world in check very much like Zelda herself through their own divine power as Oracles. Even if you argue that the 2 lands could have mysteriously ceased to exist at some point the fact remains that the 3 Oracles's descendants would still live in wathever remained of these 2 lands in order to fulfill their god-given duties as the Oracles.
Labrynna do have Zoras.
Best zelda games ever right there. Id LOVE to revisit them
Holodrum even had their own Depths in the form of Subrosia
Here's the crazy thing. Maybe 10 years from now... people will actually expand THIS game and truly go beyond the 'borders' of Hyrule in the game. They'll be able to code new areas to explore and even quests. That's where so much is headed.
Im interested in Oot's world - for example, we see the Gerudo Fortress, but we dont see their home. They put a foothold there in Hyrule. I'd love to see their kingdom
I'm inclined to believe that Yona could potentially be from Labrynna, the kingdom we explore in Oracle of Ages. Yes, she may not outright mention anything related to Labrynna in TOTK, but both Labrynna as well as Holodrum are only two out of three kingdoms/worlds outside of Hyrule that we have knowledge of. The other being Termina from Majora's Mask. As for Penn, I have no idea where he could be from. But for the sake of consistency, let's just say he's from Holodrum from Oracle of Seasons.
The thought of these two characters originating from these two places makes me speculate that the next big 3D Zelda game could take place in either Labrynna, Holodrum or a combination of the two. This could be the case considering there have been rumors that the next Zelda game(s) to be remade would be Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons in a similar style to the Link's Awakening remake could be a "teaser" of sorts.
Technically there's New Hyrule as well. May not be the kingdom as it is in Spirit Tracks outside of the Adult Timeline, but the location is still out there, no doubt with some people living there
We also have Hytopia. And technically Ordon is outside Hyrule too.
@@Mari_Izu I thought of those two places as well. But I was mainly referring to Zelda games where the whole game is played in that kingdom/world. That is true with Hytopia, but since Tri Force Heroes is on a set path, I didn't count it.
There's also Zunari's birthland from The Wind Waker which, according to Zunari's background, might be very much Alaska with many Inuit-looking Hylians like himself living there.
@@Mari_Izu And also Zunari's land from The Wind Waker which is most likely similar to Alaska for obvious reasons.
To be fair an ever-increasing open world scope can easily contradict world building depth, which in a sense TOTK demonstrated by having to stretch some amount of content over much more space. Perceived depth _can_ rely on the mystery of distant lands and objectives, in the way that BOTW did with an entirely new map and, as you're doing now, by looking in the distance and wondering what could be there that would put the region we know into perspective... But once we reach a place it has to have a minimum of density, otherwise it's just another mountain or just another ruin. Even unique-looking structures can fall flat, like TOTK's Zonaite Forge Island or the diving rings that are initially very intriguing but have relatively little to pay off.
Games with segmented areas can more easily increase density while having variety, which are two ways to add depth. I don't think (or even necessarily hope) that the Zelda devs will reduce the overall seamless connection of areas, but to make some parts feel more substantial they'll have to mix scope, in-scope restrictions, and how much they flesh out not only main points of interest but secondary ones too... If I had to decide myself I'd stop pushing a bigger scope because that's not relevant by itself and I'm not even sure it sells better past a point, with statements such as "12 times the size of the older game" or "16 times the details" not having aged particularly well... And even if Nintendo does have the means to do it, projects taking longer and longer don't necessarily benefit from it.
I love the introduction of Yona and Penn but always liked to think of Hyrule as a Pangea, I mean the stakes would be higher if there is only one piece of land.
Tauro is definitely from Lurelin Village; a conversation between him and Paya says so.
Considering how Zonai obsessed he is maybe he was off in a ruin we couldn't access in Faron lol
We're like the girl trying to meet Kilton in Breath. We just kept missing him.
a snack AND drink?!
We can afford both now?
YUP, EAT AND DRINK UP!
I get so depressed when I think about how amazing DLC or a third title in this series would/could have been. We could have travelled to a different kingdom entirely. There was SO MUCH potential 😞
wasn’t Ordon in twilight princess outside of Hyrule as well? bc Link at the beginning of the game was asked “you’ve never been to Hyrule before right?”
Yeah.
Yes and no since it's highly implied in Twilight Princess that the Hyrule we see in the game has _mobilized_ slightly northeast from where the previous Hyrule from Ocarina of Time rested as a product of the Gerudo War following Link's revelation of Ganondorf's plans to the king of Hyrule kickstarting the conflict. With this in mind and the comparison between Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess's Hyrules the Ordon Province would be located around the area where Lon Lon Ranch once stood on.
@@javiervasquez625 I thought Young Link's house is also Twilight Princess Link's house. The wiki says Ordona is not a part of the Kingdom of Hyrule.
@@javiervasquez625 That doesn't explain it being habited by non-Hylian humans, they made it pretty obvious it's supposed to be an outside area.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 As i said above the map of Twilight Princess fits slightly with the one from Ocarina of Time with all of the northern landmarks like the Hyrule Market Town and the Temple of Time having moved southwest in this current incarnation of the kingdom. Comparing the old Hyrule from Ocarina of Time with the new one from Twilight Princess locates Ordon Village somewhere around Hyrule Fields where Lon Lon Ranch also happened to be located on.
As to what the wiki said about the Hero of Twilight living on the same treehouse as the Hero of Time that information is _wrong_ as it was taken from the inaccurate Zelda Encyclopedia which was written by a japanese fan community who filled a lot of it's pages with mere fan especulation rather than canonical Lore.
Termina is out there
Somewhere in Korok Forest the entrance has been lost to time and overgrowth.
So is the island of Koridai
somewhere down a tree lol
@@jeffcarroll1990shock hopefully Ganondorf doesn’t return and seizes the island with his minions.
@@LunaP1 And yet Majora's Mask mysteriously made it's way to the Era of the Wild's Hyrule suggesting such a tree portal to Termina may still exist...
Thanks for being like the only Zelda tuber regularly posting content these days 😭❤️
If you're looking for Zeldatubers uploading regularly, definitely check out CaptBurgerson! Especially his Dungeon Design videos, top notch stuff! Also check out Triforce Trends who I believe is getting back into more regular uploads :)
id love for the future to take a more elder scrolls style approach to worlds where lore and people from other lands are scattered throughout the game, as well as future games possibly taking place in these different lands.
That'd be kinda interesting!
I've mentioned in numerous videos before on multiple channels that I hope that the next zelda game keeps the same link and zelda, even the same hyrule. But the main story happens outside of hyrule, specifically the land where Yona is from. Even keeping the "old" hyrule from botw and totk, with the main setting being in a completely different region can open up a ton of new lore and backstory. I hope this comes to fruition
Yona is from the reef domain, not that far away since she's childhood friends with Sidon, but surely it's a Zora only area (headcanon).
Labrynna and Holodrum HAVE to be out there
Cece is specifically said to be from Hateno and returned there after making a name for her brand
Sadly i dont think there is any meaning to the lore of outside hyrule because the creators have expressed how they don't have any greater plans for the series and just come up with stuff on a per game basis, so I don't expect anything to come of this
Maybe kass went to where penn is from either during the time skip or in order to get aid for Rito Village during the blizzard
Cece was obviously traveling through the Mushroom Kingdom during the events of the first game.
"This ain't no game, Cece"
What if its an underwater civilization like BioShock but without a dome, imagine link needing a diving suit to explore 😅
Termina, Labrynna and Holodrum must be out there somewhere too, hyrule is a land but it's only a part of the whole planet
Not Termina, though. Much as I liked it, Nintendo said it was mostly made up by Majoras's Mask and probably ceased to be after Link and Skull Kid left.
Plus it was a different dimension.
I just came to the thought that Cece could come from the kingdom in Triforce Heroes (I forgot the name), where fashion is extremely important to their culture and even royalty
Hytopia, I think.
@@DemonicAdj yes, thank you
I have a theory that that next Zelda game will be smaller in scale, so something similar to Link’s Awakening in a different land seems more than possible.
I honestly don't really like the theory that Botw and Totk happen after all other timelines converge, because it really doesn't leave much room for other games to happen in between, since the lore and events in such games probably couldn't be reflected in the convergence.
According to recent statements made by Aonuma and Fujibayashi the very history of The Legend of Zelda works as _legends_ which are passed down across the many timelines leading to people either looking at them as historical events or as mere fiction to entertain and teach people about tales of bravery and Courage. With this in mind it's perfectly possible for Nintendo to make games in between the convergence based solely on the fact the past games across the 3 timelines have all become _legends_ which may or may not have happened long ago in the forgotten past.
I wish i could explore the outsides of hyrule if a dlc or another sequel happened.
I'm pretty sure it was established that Cici is from Hateno, (spoilers)
When you complete the quests around her, you learn that she loves the vegetables from her youth, and I'm pretty sure it explicitly says from Hateno. But, was she as interesting in Breath as she is in Tears? Probably not. She was living a humble life, enjoying veggies, and honing her fashion craft. At some point between the games, she begins to release fashion designs and, possibly to her own surprise, becomes quite famous, leading to her developing a bit of an ego, and becoming the Cici we know in Tears. It makes perfect sense to me.
Definitely believe that with the introduction of Penn and Yona that we'll be visiting outside of Hyrule for the next game. Usually after a couple of games based in Hyrule, Nintendo has a tendency to make one or two based outside of Hyrule. Totally here for all of it! 😁 I think we're all ready for some new stuff considering they won't explain ANYTHING of the other variety it seems 😭😭
I’d like to think Nintendo will make another game where link (and maybe Zelda) have adventures in those other lands
Basically where TotK should have taken place.
Also, these lands were seen in BotW too.
Nice thing about me writing my own Zelda comic is I get to explore or at least mention those "other lands"
Yes brooo, THIS IS THE VIDEO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
Hope you enjoy! :D
Love your vids,thanks for making my very stressful day with school a lot better.❤
hope the next zelda game will let us explore distant lands far from hyrule .
Imagine if the next Zelda involved the Neighboring Kingdom of Hyrule invading or declaring war.
This would be more a detective Zelda game where link is tasked with discovering why this is happening.
Facing new trials and challenges, the faith of Hyrule and the other Kingdom will fall upon Link's shoulders.
Hyrure Field
Termina field
Ousted Island
Ordon Village
My guess is they’ll have a smaller world - something like say Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword. And the games will go back to more traditional Zelda tropes (linear story, dungeons, unique weapons, etc).
However, I think the world will be fully populated with lots of unique NPC’s! Not that I necessarily want another Majora’s Mask “3 days repeating” thing going on, I did appreciate all of the lore and world building it did with its characters! They could and should do something like this where almost every NPC has some sort of optional quest that will expand upon that character and make the world feel more real because of it as you’ll get to better know these characters.
We might go to different places & kingdoms in sequels like Majora's Mask. But I have a hard time imagining that we would go to different kingdoms if Hyrule is in danger. I also feel that having new kingdoms would make things more complicated.
Personally i feel that as long as a current reincarnation of Ganondorf has been vanquished by the current reincarnation of Link that would allow the Hero to "go on vacation" sort of speak due to Demise's Curse having already been countered during this specific Era giving Link an open amount of time to go on his own adventures. As long as the current Ganondorf is taken down Link has the freedom to travel to other such places without the fear of the Curse been a constant factor.
Maybe Yona is from Labrynna. There's also the Great Bay but I don't think she came from another dimension. 3:21 The Rito did evolve from Zora but isn't that place Death Mountain?
I have no idea where the other Rito might be. I don't think they are the same as Wind Waker's Rito. Since Zora still exist in this timeline it's probably not Wind Waker's timeline.
I thought Cece was from Hateno and had recently returned from traveling.

I was assuming Yona lived at another domain within Hyrule. Wasn’t there one in in Hebra during Twilight Princess? She was Sidon’s childhood friend wasn’t she? Maybe she grew up in the more well known ZD and at some point either her parents, or she, if she was old enough, was assigned to work/live in a different part of Hyrule.

There's a lot more telling us there's more out of bounds. I also think we have visited many of these locations, in previous games.
anybody else excited for a possible legend of zelda: beyond hyrule game?
I just chalked up the sudden population explosion across Hyrule as law of conservation of detail...in this case, not having any more characters than necessary. Like when you are walking into a Pokemon game city and there's half a dozen buildings total representing the entire city. The burned down homes in the ruins of Hyrule aren't really big enough to live in, with the same half-dozen or so designs copied and pasted all over the land.
Before TotK I commented that the remaining population of Hyrule, if you took it literally, wasn't enough to sustain them in the coming generations, especially when at least three other groups would be zeroing in on stealing your members for mates...Sheikah, Gerudo, and maybe Zora. (No on the Gorons and the Rito...eh, not impossible, but not as likely.) And...that's still true, if you take it literally, even with the sudden increase in new NPC's. There's suddenly a lot more Sheikah, Gorons, and Zora as well to steal yo man (or woman), lol. 100 years just hasn't been long enough to replenish the incredible loss of life, and there's not enough left to avoid inbreeding, long term. So you have to take the issue with NPC's with a grain of salt.
Yona was a part of Sidons childhood. The evidence for that is on a stone monument near Zora Kingdom.
Whilst she may have been, she's still from somewhere else we don't see
As a kid I always assumed Termina was another land or kingdom instead of another world. However Nintendo could easily recon Termina into another land or kingdom outside of Hyrule. I'd be down with Termina being re-made i an open world Zelda game like BOTW $ TOTK. That said I feel using Termina would be a good way to introduce a new land in a New Zelda Game. Also the Land at war with Ikana could be added to thst world map as well. Include two nations or lands in one game.
Before I watch: I think it’s Hyrule. The original Hyrule. The one before New Hyrule
There is only one game I know of that shows every land nearby to Hyrule, Zelda II Link's Adventure.
Also I hope there is a dlc that expands the seas...
As i understand it all the areas shown in the map of Zelda 2 are in fact _also_ a part of Hyrule so they are not actually locations from outside of the kingdom.
One can only dream if there was a 3D Zelda II realised in an open world format.. I mean it paved the way for Souls Borne games.
Yona came from the domain from the Depths. 😂
That would have been cool to have surviving Depths-dwellers. Depths-Zora could be blind or at least very pale, like cave fish. (I guess they'd have light sources and glowfish to light stuff up).
Adam I see you thirsting over Tauro
I applaud you for good taste good sir
😎
Here's a thought what if nintendo expanded the Zelda franchise by adding different plot Lines like what happened to the hero of time say after link was sent back in time after the end of ocarina. he was task to go to a different land and save it that would be cool. The possibility of a different link saving a different land. To build a bigger story of Zelda would be an interesting thing to do
As the game, specially TOTK implies, this is the adult timeline, and the entire world is unflooded now, (that's when the zonai came down to hyrule, after everything, not at the beggining) so abandoned New hyrule still exists somewhere else. All those characters can come from that kingdom and all the islands of the ocean king's world (I know all of history of PH was something like link awakening, but all these places do exist.)
honestly I am starting to think that this Hyrule is just a completely different Hyrule from the Hyrule of past games and that the other Hyrule is still out there
For me TotK made it way clear that the Wild Era is a soft-reboot.
It clearly is as Rauru's Hyrule lacks many of the iconic landmarks and locations from previous games making it clear it's impossible for this incarnation of the kingdom to be the very same one from before The Minish Cap. As Mari_Izu above said Nintendo has practically soft rebooted the timeline by introducing a brand new kingdom with a brand new origin.
day 69 (nice) of mentioning that on 6/6/2023 hyrule gamer made a video where, at 43.46, he spent 12 seconds simping about the ancient gerudo soldiers
"human majority"-no, Hyrule is a Korok majority
that is true lol
Imagine running that census.
day 197 of mentioning that on 5/6/2023 hyrule gamer made a video where, at 43.46, he spent 12 seconds simping about the ancient gerudo soldiers
What's out there? More korok seeds.
I keep thinking another Wilds era sequel will bring us to the Moon. It'll be full of Koroks because Nintendo knows what those players did.
I like to think the reason the new zoron princess is a river zoro but that's just me
