- The Sheikah Tech just vanishing out of thin air in Tears of the Kingdom has been a huge mystery since it's release. About a week ago, Fujibayashi talked about the Sheikah Technology and its disappearance. Here is what he said, and we will discuss his answer in this video.

All the towers and more than half the shrines originally rose kid of the ground, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they just sunk back down, never to be seen again.
Explain the chasms then
@@jockson7574 They said more than half the shrines. There arent many chasms over where a shrine used to be. So the chasm part had to have been coincidence on the shrines part. Besides, Kobayashi explained that most Shekiah tech completely displays out of thin air, quite literally, so the shrines entirely popped out of existence because their ultimate purpose was to test the Hero of Hyrule.
@@jockson7574 those aren’t holes, they’re portals. The shrines are still there, just somewhere below the portal. Think about it: The Zelda series is no stranger to alternate dimensions, and The Depths are no normal cave system. An almost perfect inverted height map and Goddess statues above every bargainer statue isn’t something that just happens. The depths are clearly Hyrule in another dimension.
@@Mobtrapper-hq8is nope they’re not in the depths or its remains
@@jockson7574 I didn’t say they were. I said that they sank below the ground before the chasms (aka portals to the depths) opened up above where they now are
I bet broken guardians remain. the remaining ones were harvested for parts used for purah pad and towers. All active guardians disappeared so it was safer to scrap the broken ones for research and development
Probably the case. There’s a broken guardian outside Hateno Tech Lab.
I prefer the explanation that the Sheikha simply stripped them for parts when creating things like the sky view towers, etc.
Although I'll acknowledge its a kind of cop-out, I don't see why people have such an air of disbelief at the idea that Sheikah tech could vanish into thin air. Not only have we been shown that Sheikah technology is perfectly capable of making things disappear into thin air IN Breath of the Wild, but Tears of the Kingdom even utilizes an actual gameplay mechanism where the Zonai devices dematerialize after they have been "used up."
I believe the Sheikah learned to tap into a similar resource as the Zonai, and were capable of making machines that disappeared after they had "served their purpose." Apparently that function was so deeply rooted in them that even most of the totally destroyed ones just vanished, given enough time after the Calamity was gone (though, as we've seen, it may have taken years).
The Sheikah tech that remains is mostly stuff plundered, dismantled, and reassembled by Purah and Robbie's team. It's possible they deactivated the mechanisms which would have caused the devices to dematerialize after their purpose was served. This could have been done inadvertently, but I'm sure Purah and Robbie would do so on purpose if they figured out what such a mechanism was for.
The majority of the people of Hyrule may not know or care to know what happened to the vanished Sheikah tech, but I suspect Purah and/or Robbie know. They just haven't bothered to educate everybody about it, for whatever reason.
I agree with you on this. I'll admit, it's not the "greatest" explanation that Nintendo gave us (I accidentally made it seem like a SUPER great explanation), but at least we have a bit of background information.
This explains the shrines and towers, but not the guardians
I have a good theory though - during the first calamity, ganon possessed the guardians, leading to Hyrule's defeat
To avoid a repeat, the people of Hyrule likely disassembled all the guardians and used them for parts (eg. skyview towers)
I think just about everyone, even myself, has come to that conclusion. It's the only reasonable explanation.
My headcanon is that after the Calamity was stopped, time started to catch up to them. Like, they were magically sealed in time, but now the seal has been broken. Surely some of it got better preserved than the rest and that got repurposed and some of what we see might even be recreations of the ancent Sheikah tech.
All the sheika tech that was connected to / touching the ground disappeared which is why the one on top of the tech lab isn’t gone. The sheika slate stayed behind because it had another purpose other than to protect the people or to aid the hero; it was also meant to function as a way to accumulate knowledge for the hero and the royal family for the future. Or because it housed minaru’s spirit which prevented it from disappearing.
Just my thought ✌🏻
Maybe the Sheikah tech had some kind of mechanism build in that was able to remove it after Ganon cannot be detected anymore. The reason why the decayed guardian did not disappear could be because Robbie removed or deactivated it while taking it apart for his studies. The Purahpad did not disappear cause it did not had this mechanism build in.
And the skyveiw towers? There’s no way they were able to construct all of them before all existing Sheikah tech disappeared.
The guardians probably didn't disappear, maybe even the divine beasts didn't. I think it's a good explanation for the shrines and towers because we saw them rising from the ground, which means they can probably go back. I think that the explanation for the sheikah tech that is in totk is that after the calamity the people of hyrule wanted to make sure that the sheikah machines (guardians and divine beasts) will not become evil again so they disassembled them. Purah and Roby used the parts of the disassembled sheikah tech to build the new towers and Purah pad.
But this still doesn't make sense for shrine of resuraction becouse it is used to revive one person at a time and it doesn't matter if there is ganon or not
I think it's just a different kind of shrine and it serves another purpose.
This explains why Vah Ruta had stopped working at the end of botw
That's a terrible explanation and really somebody should have thought of something in universe. Why couldn't Ganondorf have destroyed them with corruption? a lot of the sites of shrines are corrupted, that's a better explanation than "I guess, like, uhh, they vanished or summat".
I'm sort of wondering if Nintendo never had an answer to what happened to the Sheikah Tech, and Fujibayashi was just forced to say something during the interview. Maybe they never wanted to come up with a reason because they wanted to leave it up to us players to theorize on.
@@ganonfanOr, crazy theory, they just didn't care enough to come up with a reason, and were so caught up with making their new game that they didn't put much thought into the continuity. Nintendo has shown in the past that sensible continuity is NOT something they're particularly interested in, looking at the timeline, maps, etc.
I want some explanation for the massive durian extinction event...
Seriously, from a scientific point of view it would be interesting
Here's hoping the next gen Zelda game deals specifically with that!
("Breath of the Durian?")
I think a good explanation is that totk takes place during a different season, where durians aren’t around
I could make a video about that in the future if you like.
And the disappearance of the Hearty Blueshell Snail and the Great-Horned Rhinoceros, too. Is it a different season and those two species are migrating/have migrated elsewhere?
Proof that there is a kingdom somewhere beyond Hyrule. (Besides the fact that Queen Yona came from a domain somewhere beyond Hyrule)@@Sarah_H
“This is a really great answer” No the frick it is not. That is a completely terrible answer
Agreed, I was going nuts when he said it was a great one 😂
I definitely was not thinking when this interview was first released, but I realized about a month after releasing this video that it was a stupid explanation essentially.
Zelda’s the culprit! After sealing Ganondorf’s spirit and its influence (malice), anything that Ganondorf’s malice had effected, vanished with him, so she did and/or causes a butterfly ‘like’ effect, 'cause Zelda can manipulate both time & space. And anything that aided the Hylians against Ganondorf’s spirit, which was some of the Sheikah tech, stayed.
I really think that they should have adressed this better in the game. The way it is, it's just lazy.
I can very much agree with you. I think Nintendo enjoys hearing theories from fans so they sit back and listen for the best sounding answer.
very cool we got an official nintendo answer now! thanks for showing this
i had subscribed to the theory that people dismantled it all fearing it could be taken over by evil again, which wld have explained the remaining parts, but knowing that the people of hyrule find it just as mysterious as us makes this super fun to think about again! 🤔🤔🤔
I think just getting an answer from Nintendo is what really excited me. Since they are the ones who make the game, we get to hear what they think on certain mysteries.
Yeah it's lazy on their part, but also come to think of it, after Calamity Ganon disappeared/sealed, their roles were fulfilled, it makes absolute sense. The Shiekah monks would wait in temples to grant Link a spirit orb and then disappear right? The same with shiekah tech, once their role is fulfilled, they shall disappear.
But still many questions remain: why didn't they resurface after Link and Zelda found Ganondorf under Hyrule Castle? Did Robbie and Purah take all of them apart after the sealing of Calamity Ganon?
Like it's a good narrative, but still, it's lazy.
Maybe they want us Zelda fans to keep theorizing so we can come up with the answer for them.
@@ganonfan Yeah, that would be the reason. I just wish they gave us a definitive answer though.
Maybe the busted one on the Hateno lab was from another era... like the founding of Hyrule. If it's gone after TotK, we know that *its* purpose was to ensure Ganondorf's defeat. Maybe there *are* other guardians out there that predate the previous Calamity, which that age's Sheikah reverse-engineered, just like the current Sheikah were doing with ancient Sheikah tech. Or maybe he just forgot about the Hateno lab and the Towers' guardian arms when he retconned a goof they made. ^_^
This ones doing numbers man, hella nice
i think the gaurdians would be gone i. the ways of if people saw the shrines and towers disapear than its most likely that the guardians would have been cleared out and reused for things such as the towers but really thats the only way i can tink of most of them disapeared and that also might be a mystery of hyrule aswell but it would be logical for them to be destroyed in case another event like the calamity happened and took control over them again maybe the guardians were also used or made for a different purpose before the calamity and were used in the first calamity because why not and maybe didnt disapear because it wasnt exactly yhteir original purpose but idk just some thoughts
Real answer: we didn't design ToTK to have both Zonaite and Sheikah tech, so Sheikah stuff disappeared.
The lore can be rationalized all we want, but it doesn't matter. I'm actually quite satisfied with the handwaving of the topic.
Thats so lame bruh what
"EXPLAINS" it's too high of a claim. They just say "it was magic!"
It'd have been more satisfying and believable if he'd said someone or something called to them and they phased back into the Sacred Realm. We don't have any evidence that they came from there, but it would have set everyone theorizing again instead of calling his bluff ;)
Very true!
