its more tragic for zelda since she was a dragon waaaaaay longer than 1000 years. the great calamity happened 10,000 years ago. the events we see happen in the past take place waaaaaaay before that. shes been a dragon for 10s of thousands of years
Tears of the kingdom takes place 3 or so years after botw. The calamity happened 100 years prior to Botw.(link being asleep for 100 years Rijus mom being Urbosa, etc) I can see why people say 10,000 years and some change because 10,000 years prior to totk was when this Ganondorf was sealed by Rauru.
@@LeoneLaTwerk2 the great calamity was 10,000 years ago. It's the one shown in the tapestry with the unknown hero. Calamity Ganon then reemerged 100 years before breath of the wild
Since Zelda becomes a dragon during the age of hyrules founding, that could mean that sh s a dragon in every Zelda game before breath of the wild. It could also be the reason why every princess in hyrule is named Zelda
Ah, sorry to burst your bubble, but a lot of evidence seems to imply that this Hyrule was founded long after the rest of the games. It's just been so long since then that no one remembers the old Hyrule. Only stories and _legends_ remain. It's the only way the timeline makes sense.
@@coopinatormusic6214 Alternatively, BotW/TotK may take place from a timeline split born from Skyward Sword. Specifically when SS Link destroyed Demise in the past. Skyward Sword past-->BotW/TotK Skyward Sword Present--> All other Zelda Games
I have to say sometimes I am jealous of people who can break or cry during games or movies/tv-shows. No matter how strong the feeling sad or happy which I do have ofc during those moments, I never cried during those moments as long as I can remember. And no I don’t say that to drag, my body just doesn’t do that lol❤
'when she got.......got' loool Also I know this is Nintendo retconning it but I love Rauru's third eye looking like the old arrow switches in past Zelda dungeons. I screeched at that connection.
I couldn't quickly think of a way to describe her getting pulled into the dark chasm through time haha. And omg I didn't even make that connection with his third eye! It totally does look like those!!
Zelda spent 10,000 years alone. She knew that she might be alone forever, but in her final moments as a person, you can see she was trying to be brave. For nobody. And in her final moments, her thoughts are not of the sacrifice she's making. Not the fear she feels. Her final thoughts are of Link, and the people of her Kingdom. We know that Zelda always loved Silent Princess flowers, but as noted in her journals, she could never cultivate them. They kept dying, and they were rare in the wild. Well.. around that final Dragon Tear we find many Silent Princess flowers. For thousands of years, Zelda was cursed to wander the skies of Hyrule alone, mindless and voiceless. A Silent Princess.
it's been significantly longer than 10,000 years. the Divine Beasts were 10,000 years ago, and it had happened so regularly that the Sheikah were extremely prepared for it. the time of Rauru and the Zonai is likely 100,000+ years ago.
This commented alone reminded me of Fi's existence lol thank you! I always forget about her because I barely played SS (the control scheme really annoyed me personally). Need to give it another try!
The creators of this game are massive trolls, given that Zelda is the dragon you see at the very start of the game, as you dive down towards the Temple of Time. How cruel of them, to taunt us with that...
During the first dragon roar when the Light Dragon pops out of the bubbles you can hear another voice inside the roar. Its Zelda. Shes screaming. And its not just a "AHHHHH!" Its a terrifying guttural scream. Like a mother who lost a child. When the Dragon Roars for the second time, that scream is quieter. By the third time you can't hear it anymore.
@@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris nope. They're in the founding era of Hyrule, the war mentioned in BOTW is the First Calamity - where they fight against the first incarnation of the Calamity with the Hero's Aspect and the other Tan Zelda (not to be confused with Sonia). The Imprisoning war is where they seal the Demon King.
@@KalaLu-helpmeee How can anyone get her mixed with Sonia? Everyone knows they are not the same person. And we was talking about this game's how far it goes back. Not talking about the war... it seems you have misunderstood the point on my comment.

The most common part told is that she was a dragon for 20,000 years, waiting for link.
Behold, the Eternally Silent Princess.

Love when you got to the bit of realizing what was going on and it's that oh. OH NO. OOOOooooh no moment
Things really take such a dramatic and unbelievable turn, I just- 😭
Tulin running in after that cutscene made me burst out laughing
Yeah his timing is something 😂

It's perfectly normal either way so youre valid! Some stuff makes me cry, some stuff makes me just have liked a stunned, sad silence. Just depends lol

These Cutscenes might make TOTK beat Mario Galaxy And Paper Mario:The Origami King in being some of the saddest Nintendo Games
I really need to play those!
Would be cool but they are not since the Triforce existed before their land's creation.
So I heard you ask in the video "Why's the sword glowing?" You should definitely play skyward sword to get the answer to that question. Lol

It was definitely quite the painful realization
Also in the logo the bottom half of the master sword is a dragon, they literally put it in our faces the whole time
lmao this lady literally LOOKS like Zelda!
I would love to do a cosplay of her one day!

Times that by 10. Yes, 10,000 years.
50,000 actually 😭

I recommend hearing voice of Zelda in Japanese. That's more immersive.
You’re missing memories
Yeah this part of my playthrough was just going through finding all the ones for the dragon tears specifically
