@The Precious Little White Angel I've put probably about 300-400 hours, i actually got frustrated on my third playthrough due to the fact I got 119 shrines and can't find the last lol
The Divine Beast didn't necessarily miss. Imagine a full strength Ganon deflecting a Divine Beast beam attack off to one side like Link does with the Guardians.
Additionally, the closest divine beast is piloted by Revali, who has a penchant for showing off, he probably blew up the mountain to show how cool he was
OH MY GOD, if it was one of the Divine Beasts that did that, I want Nintendo to do a little thing in BotW where they add a new Memory with Revali testing his Divine beast on a mountain but accidentally shot its beam, and then Revalis like "Huh. I thought it would be bigger, honestly." Or something like that, thatd be pretty funny.
I've never noticed the hole and now I can't stop seeing it in the background all the time. Also, the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 crossover side quest makes more sense, you have to go to a "pierced mountain" which is Hebra Peak.
*facepalm* Oh my goodness, you're right, that does make so much sense. I went to Dueling Peaks first, and not finding it there, just went to the other tall snowy mountains in Hyrule to find it. I even saw the huge hole before, but never put two and two together...
Fun fact: The angle you first see Hebra mountain, the entire facade resembles the profile of a lion roaring into the heavens. Okay, re-playing Twilight Princess...and I just realized what else Hebra mountain resembles: the expression of hate, outrage, and pain on Ganondorf's face just as Link shoves the Master Sword into his abdominal wound.
I know right? Like...no shit? I get people not noticing it but once you do it's not really a big mystery what could blast a giant laser sized hole in a game with giant laser blasting robots.
“Vah Ruta, fired!” “Vah Naboris, fired!” “Vah Medoh, fired!” “Vah Rudania......” “....” “....” “....” “.....did you just miss?” “ GOD DANG IT, NOW MY MOUNTAIN HAS A HOLE” “Shut up, I’m working on it!”
Vah Ruta: *it wasnt me! I would never reach the hebra mountain!* Vah Rudania: *look, i may would have made more damage to the mountain BUT, why would i aim there?* Vah Naboris: *why would i even aim where ganon isnt there?* Vah Medoh: *wasnt me*
Sam Adams Same! I spent ages trying to complete every shrine in the game (which I eventually did) and I never noticed. Plus, I hardly ever went to that location in the game.
@@adventureoflinkmk2 Not so sure did you ever made the math what kind of insane power Link must have to do all the things he does in Breath of the Wild. He must be stronger then Goku as SSJ3 in the Boo Saga.
Here’s a thought - what if the reason BotW Zelda had such a hard time unleashing her power was because BotW is at/towards the end of the timeline? It could be that she’s so far removed from the original Zelda that the power is just... weaker. And in contrast, Ganon’s power has only gotten stronger, angrier, more crafty.
Eh I disagree with this. When she finally unlocks her power in botw she seems stronger then she ever has in the series. She was able to instantly wipe out guardians and she held back a super boosted Ganon all alone for 100 years. No other Zelda has done anything close to that in the whole series.
@@nandoman4769 I think with the new game coming out we can basically confirm that calamity ganon wasnt a full ganon so its power wouldnt be at full strength either not saying she isnt powerful but with the trailer you can see ganons real body locked away
It also could have been Dinraal. An immensely powerful dragon, being the incarnation of the god of power, who produces fire from his body potentially causing the igneous, glass-like rock. Great video!
@@novaofhyrule1939 Naydra most likely wasn't corrupted during the battle 10,000 years ago. The malice that corrupted it seems new to the Ganon Link fought during BotW.
That's what I thought during the video. It's definitely another possibility. Lasers are great, but yeah, I'd imagine they'd have to test them at some point to see how much damage they can actually do
@@randomgameplay5465 I always figured that the massive chasms on the northern and western ends of Hyrule were the places the Divine Beasts were uncovered.

Please do more BotW lore. I’m really interested in the field behind dueling peaks and the destroyed forest/swamp near Akkala tower which are both infested with dead guardians
@@OtakuTemmie I think those are two different places, the first is to the west of Tarrey town and East of the Akkala citadel and tower. And the second (where Link almost died) is south to Kakariko Village, east of the Dueling peaks in the Necluda Region.
The area beyond dueling peaks is whwre link made his last stand vs the guardians. Pretty sure its in one of the memories, and i thought there was a book that said something about it. Not sure tho
Snoopey That was where link had fallen from battling an army of guardians and also where the hylian army fought their last stand. Also where Zelda unlocked her powers
I'd like to imagine this is why there's no divine beast stationed there. Theoretically it would be perfect due to the difficult terrain that only a walking or flying beast could navigate quickly. Sadly though they didn't account for weather causing inaccuracies, so much that the divine beast melted the mountain it was using for cover.
Can you do a video on Crenel hill? It has stumps from more giant trees in one place than anywhere else combined, and a lot of enemies of different types gather there.
The stumps may be a reference to Minish Cap, with Mount Crenel being the location of the Games second dungeon, and stumps being one of the many portals to the minish world.
Stone Pebblit: "A very young Stone Talus. Their bodies toughen as they mature, becoming as tough as boulders by adulthood. As a child, however, their bodies are light enough to be lifted and fragile enough to break when thrown." - Hyrule Compendium A pebblit would have to survive a fall from the universe, but they can't even survive being thrown by Link. Looks like they're just evil rocks.
I like this theory! I don't like the idea of a meteorite cutting through a mountain side though just isn't practical - the entire mountain would absolutely have exploded and rubble/debris would be strewn EVERYWHERE. DEFINITELY more evident of one of the beams like you stated, would explain the reason why there is no rubble/debris whatsoever.
Yeah I think, ignoring other issues, a meteorite would leave an enormous scar on the other side as well. Looking out of the hole in the continuing direction doesn’t give any indication of that.
And with all this in mind, the craters along the edge of the chasm are more likely either mortar or debris impact points from testing or the battle itself.
“A whale like creature” *no fam, thats a Molduga.* (Edit: guys, I know it’s not a Molduga, however it could be. Theres a small chance...though it’s unlikely) Also, I believe it’s a Dragon who created the hole in the mountain. The Dueling Peaks was originally whole. A dragon split it apart and now remains at Lake Floria, so it’s possible.
There are 3 "whales" series. The Wind Fish (Link's Awakening), is likely the desert one one. Oshus (Phantom Hourglass), is likely the ice cave. And Levias (Skyward Sword) in Eldin, given the head plate.
That's what I thought too. At first I thought Dinraal but when he brought up the unclimbable ice in the hole, I thought Naydra was more likely. To be fair though this only caused a hole in the mountain while the Duelling Peaks literally got split in two.
I reckon it was that leviathan under Hebra Peak had a battle with a Ice Talus or it just went through the mountain... I mean it *did* have a pointy head.
At first, I thought it might've been Dinraal, since I once read a dialogue that suggested the twin peaks were separated as the result of one of the noodles flying through it.
Visual storytelling made up for the lack of actual story in this game which I actually liked. I just wish there were more hints or places we could go to learn more on the land of Hyrule it's various lore. That's what I'm really hoping for in BotW 2.
Exploring the land and filling in the details of what probably happened is a lot more fun to me than forcing me to sit through exposition, not saying story taking the front seat is a bad thing cause it’s not but I like putting things together myself
@@ThatAnArchyDude I didn't mean Metroid Prime like as in first person. That would just be weird for a Zelda game. In that game you can scan some script on the wall to learn about the history of the Chozo on Tallon IV. What I meant was that it would be cool if BOTW2 had something like that for the events of the Great Calamity (Zelda's diary is a great example). But it would just be a side thing for the most part and the main story would still play out in normal Zelda fashion.
Ravioli is a complete a hole That means he got it from his ancestors probobly And ravioli would be the guy to be like Let’s see what this laser can really do And blow up a mountain or something So His ancestor did exactly that that’s how the hole formed
(Inspired by another comment) Mipha: "Ruta has been fired!" Revali: "Medoh ha been fired!" Urbosa: "Naboris has been fired!" Daruk: "Rudandia has been fired!" Zelda and Hylia:'facepalm' "Aight who the fuck just missed?!"
@@GoldenMushroom64 If a massive laser beam cutting a hole through a freaking mountain during a war thousands of years ago to contain Calamity Ganon isn't interesting to you, then what is?
It kinda looks like whatever caused this destructive beam originated from the Zonai ruins... Like, just look at 6:33, the beam aligns perfectly with that particular area, it's almost spooky. I also always found it a bit strange how the divine beasts were placed on the map, with there being such a large distance between Vah Ruta and Vah Naboris.
4:22 Would you consider covering the topic of how long the cycle of Calamity Ganon has been going on? I find it fascinating with having seen Ganondorf's corpse appearing to be the source of Malice. That scene of Impa explaining the events from 10,000 years ago strongly suggests that Calamity has appeared more than the two times we've seen. Has Ganondorf's corpse been sealed since the Calamity cycle started?
Well the game states that the Calamity from 10k years ago was the 1st Calamity. And we can speculate that Ganondorf has been sealed for over 20k years since it seemed to take him 10k years for the 2nd Calamity to happen.
@@Zerolink30 You COULD speculate that, but you're not taking into account the "second Calamity" (from 100 years prior to game start of BotW) only took 10,000 years to happen because it was actually SEALED for that 10,000 years.
@@Zerolink30 Do you know where in the game, or what scene rather, they state that 10,000 years ago was the first time Calamity Ganon appeared? I posed the question to Zeltik because from what I can tell, 10,000 years ago was NOT the first time he appeared. I'm reading heavily into Impa's story of those events. She says the people of that time were technologically advanced, and that they decided to use their wisdom to build the Divine Beast/Guardians should Calamity ever *return* The way Impa words it leads me to believe Calamity Ganon has appeared time and time again. After all, "The history of Hyrule is also the history of Calamity Ganon"
Additional comment: After replying to @@Zerolink30, I watched the cutscene where Impa explains the events from 10,000 years ago. "The history of the Royal Family is also the history of Calamity Ganon" This part is just my own speculation, but having re-read that, I feel like the Royal Family played a role in sealing Ganondorf's corpse. I also side with those who believe his corpse is sealed under Hyrule Castle, mainly because Calamity appears from below the castle and it appears the corpse is leaking a ton of Malice. I wouldn't be surprised if someone thought the solution to stopping Ganondorf was to preserve his body, but it backfired cause Calamity then became a thing. (In line with previous theories Zeltik and others have thrown out about trying to prevent another male Gerudo from being born into the kingdom) Again, this comment is loaded with my own speculation. I still firmly believe we have proof that 10,000 years ago was not the first time Calamity appeared. Zeltik, halp.
@@ThatAnArchyDude ok but what you aren't thinking is that Calamity is nothing but a mere puppet, a phantom of Ganondorf, (mind you not being in control of said "puppet") so what was sealed wouldn't really affect the next "resurrection". Now your answer could of been relevant if not for the fact we learned Ganondorf is alive, sealed but alive, under Hyrule castle spewing out enough Malice to create his puppet/phantom. B4 that it was believed that Ganon had given up on resurrecting and was appearing in a spirit like form fueled by rage, if that had stayed the case then your point would have made perfect sense.
If what you said about the location of the battle is true, it could also possibly be from Calamity Ganon, as during the final fight, Dark Beast Ganon uses a dark beam attack.
Dark Beast Ganon's beam is the same color as malice but the remnant of the ice in Hebra is an eerie blue, like the Guardian's laser beams. Also, the way Dark Beast Ganon fires his dark beam couldn't leave the same topographical mark as the hole in Hebra Mountain. He always starts his beam from the ground and then goes up. The hole in Hebra Mountain denotes a beam that was fired already from elevation at the start.
A very insightful take on an obscure part of Zelda lore. I didn't even realize that Hebra Peak had that hole. I've been in that spot, but I never saw it from far away
The temple in windwaker had easter eggs pointing to the Clinton's involvement with Jeffery Epstein and Zeltik got suicided. This video was his deadman's switch. Shame.
I'm really happy you bring out actual interesting theories not covered before, rather than a certain 10 minute video telling me things I already knew about the damn Paraglider of all things... ....in 2019.
@@therealgj995 I love him really. He's awesome. There was just a brief period of time when I didn't know all the tricks of the game and I needed two shards of his claw and it took about two hours filled with various complications. We're best buds now, though.
@@phylion6067 Yeah, I had the same problems when trying to obtain horn shards from Dinraal and Naydra. I would rarely see those two. I thought to myself saying: why should I wait for dragon spirits when I could be finding shrines and completing shrine quests. However, I had no choice but to be patient.
Wasn’t this supposed to be a Tower of the Gods Video though? From wind waker? Don’t get me wrong I’m ok with this. But I’m still waiting for that TotG vid.
In the trailer for the sequel of breath of the wild, the hole can be seen when the castle ascends or collapses. Which adds questions to the time travel theory.
Great video as always Zeltik! As I watched, I was thinking you'd track the angle as you did. My thoughts were maybe there would be a crater and the end of the angle, but I definitely hadn't considered something like a Divine Beast beam from the opposite direction. I thought something fell from the sky but a blast from ground level is even more likely given no crater lol
@@geoman265. Agreed. I was looking for any indication that the blast came from above but with no impact to the earth, its more likely it was shot ground up. Really cool to see worldy scars from previous Calamity
2easonal Elementz haha :D my own (Danish) accent’s terrible, guess that’s why I heard it that way. I just couldn’t resist the urge of sharing my mental picture of two rodents clashing for the future of Hyrule
I've been there twice and I noticed the carved out 'carmelized' appearance of the area. Although, I didn't put much thought into it at the time. It's amazing how intricate this game is.
One could use the Sheikah Scope & Beacons in conjunction with the Infinite/Moon Jump glitch to accurately pinpoint the source/destination of the impact.
@@Llortnerof Using the angles of the edges of the "hole". 10,000 would cause quite a shift, in reality, but this is a video game we're talking about. They're not going to geologically analyze the land to that extent when only about 10% of the player base would actually do the same. lol
@@ThatAnArchyDude You can't pinpoint it because the source doesn't have a definite height. Each titan has their "gun" at a different point and height. Naboris' is much higher up than Rudania's. Medoh can fly on top of that. Pinpointing would at the very least require knowing which one did the shot, and that still might only be good enough to cut it down to a few likely spots. At least we can probably rule out that the shot went the other direction, there doesn't seem to be much reason they'd fire from Hebra into Hyrule Field. And since the terrain has often changed majorly even between games much closer together than 10,000 years... (Why did they go so overboard anyway? Even 1,000 would have been plenty. 10,000 would work better if the original usage was against Demise pre-Skyward Sword. At this point the world basically worked itself up from Bronze Age at least thrice by BotW.)
@@Llortnerof That last paragraph was F'ing hilarious, and not far off. lol We could still pinpoint a more narrow area of origin. It just might be the shot Link deflected. At least we'd know where he was when deflected it, and that might give us a better idea of where it came from is all I'm getting at.
Me before watching: most likely Medoh, since the Rito know to fear Medoh despite it just circling... possibly feared due to stories of it destroying Hebra peak. Me after: I didnt take into account the age of the scar, but I like where you went with this
The game says that the Twin Peaks were split in half by a dragon so that it would be easier to move across Hyrule. These events are completely unrelated.
Interesting! I wonder if the hole on the west flank of Mount Floria near Riola Springs is from a Divine Beast as well? It's a lot more worn down than the Hebra one, but it seems to be pointing at Hyrule Field as well.
In age of calamity we see what we assume is Zelda’s mother is shot off through the sky, us not seeing what happened she could have shot through the mountain.

@@deny_pentagram maybe it's like a parasite that attaches to rocks.
THAT SOUNDS AWESOME!! ...but Deniz is right ;-;
I like this theory!
I don't like the idea of a meteorite cutting through a mountain side though just isn't practical - the entire mountain would absolutely have exploded and rubble/debris would be strewn EVERYWHERE.
DEFINITELY more evident of one of the beams like you stated, would explain the reason why there is no rubble/debris whatsoever.
Yeah, any projectile of that size hitting the mountain at high speeds would just detonate, i doubt the mountain would be anywhere near this intact.
Yeah I think, ignoring other issues, a meteorite would leave an enormous scar on the other side as well. Looking out of the hole in the continuing direction doesn’t give any indication of that.
And I say Meteorite because if it were an Asteroid MILES would be LEVELED.
And with all this in mind, the craters along the edge of the chasm are more likely either mortar or debris impact points from testing or the battle itself.
Meteorites are the same thing as asteroids. Asteroid = in space. Meteor = asteroid in atmosphere. Meteorite = asteroid on land. :)
“A whale like creature”
*no fam, thats a Molduga.*
(Edit: guys, I know it’s not a Molduga, however it could be. Theres a small chance...though it’s unlikely)
Also, I believe it’s a Dragon who created the hole in the mountain. The Dueling Peaks was originally whole. A dragon split it apart and now remains at Lake Floria, so it’s possible.
Its a Leviathan
@@shaunferguson1966 A Reaper Leviathan?
Wind Fish
There are 3 "whales" series. The Wind Fish (Link's Awakening), is likely the desert one one. Oshus (Phantom Hourglass), is likely the ice cave. And Levias (Skyward Sword) in Eldin, given the head plate.
It is not lol
Wow, I didn't even notice the hole.

Naydra would be more likely tho
@@annalisa32 Naydra flies through Lanayru, Dinraal flies through Eldin and Hebra.
Naw it would be farosh
That's what I thought too. At first I thought Dinraal but when he brought up the unclimbable ice in the hole, I thought Naydra was more likely. To be fair though this only caused a hole in the mountain while the Duelling Peaks literally got split in two.
@@veronicasawyer6099 Evidence?
I reckon it was that leviathan under Hebra Peak had a battle with a Ice Talus or it just went through the mountain... I mean it *did* have a pointy head.
When I first noticed the hole, I thought it was Naydra, because it could of made a big enough hole, by going full speed boosting through it.
Nadra: "Oh a mountain, what a shame.."
The people of rito village:"What the dragon do- OH SHIT!!"
I personally think it's Dinrall, he can be found closer to the peak and he is a fire dragon so he could easily melt the ice and snow.🐉
I also thought it was a dragon considering how Dueling Peaks was cut in half.
6:56 I misheard that as "the hamster battle," which would certainly have made for a strange moment in Hyrule's history.

At first, I thought it might've been Dinraal, since I once read a dialogue that suggested the twin peaks were separated as the result of one of the noodles flying through it.
That's talking about Duelling Peaks
It could be similar back story as the twin peaks!?
One of the dragons could've awoken from under the mountain and caused said circular hole.

Visual storytelling made up for the lack of actual story in this game which I actually liked. I just wish there were more hints or places we could go to learn more on the land of Hyrule it's various lore. That's what I'm really hoping for in BotW 2.
Exploring the land and filling in the details of what probably happened is a lot more fun to me than forcing me to sit through exposition, not saying story taking the front seat is a bad thing cause it’s not but I like putting things together myself
Good luck.
BotW 2 looks more like it's going to be more akin to Spelunkie 3D or something.
Yeah, that would be great if they took more of a Metroid Prime approach to it.
@@speedude0164 Well, now I'm looking forward to it even less.
Unless, they keep it second-person.
Then, I might actually like it.
@@ThatAnArchyDude I didn't mean Metroid Prime like as in first person. That would just be weird for a Zelda game. In that game you can scan some script on the wall to learn about the history of the Chozo on Tallon IV. What I meant was that it would be cool if BOTW2 had something like that for the events of the Great Calamity (Zelda's diary is a great example). But it would just be a side thing for the most part and the main story would still play out in normal Zelda fashion.

It kinda looks like whatever caused this destructive beam originated from the Zonai ruins... Like, just look at 6:33, the beam aligns perfectly with that particular area, it's almost spooky. I also always found it a bit strange how the divine beasts were placed on the map, with there being such a large distance between Vah Ruta and Vah Naboris.
4:22
Would you consider covering the topic of how long the cycle of Calamity Ganon has been going on? I find it fascinating with having seen Ganondorf's corpse appearing to be the source of Malice. That scene of Impa explaining the events from 10,000 years ago strongly suggests that Calamity has appeared more than the two times we've seen.
Has Ganondorf's corpse been sealed since the Calamity cycle started?
Well the game states that the Calamity from 10k years ago was the 1st Calamity. And we can speculate that Ganondorf has been sealed for over 20k years since it seemed to take him 10k years for the 2nd Calamity to happen.
@@Zerolink30 You COULD speculate that, but you're not taking into account the "second Calamity" (from 100 years prior to game start of BotW) only took 10,000 years to happen because it was actually SEALED for that 10,000 years.
@@Zerolink30 Do you know where in the game, or what scene rather, they state that 10,000 years ago was the first time Calamity Ganon appeared?
I posed the question to Zeltik because from what I can tell, 10,000 years ago was NOT the first time he appeared. I'm reading heavily into Impa's story of those events. She says the people of that time were technologically advanced, and that they decided to use their wisdom to build the Divine Beast/Guardians should Calamity ever *return*
The way Impa words it leads me to believe Calamity Ganon has appeared time and time again. After all, "The history of Hyrule is also the history of Calamity Ganon"
Additional comment:
After replying to @@Zerolink30, I watched the cutscene where Impa explains the events from 10,000 years ago.
"The history of the Royal Family is also the history of Calamity Ganon"
This part is just my own speculation, but having re-read that, I feel like the Royal Family played a role in sealing Ganondorf's corpse. I also side with those who believe his corpse is sealed under Hyrule Castle, mainly because Calamity appears from below the castle and it appears the corpse is leaking a ton of Malice.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone thought the solution to stopping Ganondorf was to preserve his body, but it backfired cause Calamity then became a thing. (In line with previous theories Zeltik and others have thrown out about trying to prevent another male Gerudo from being born into the kingdom)
Again, this comment is loaded with my own speculation. I still firmly believe we have proof that 10,000 years ago was not the first time Calamity appeared.
Zeltik, halp.
@@ThatAnArchyDude ok but what you aren't thinking is that Calamity is nothing but a mere puppet, a phantom of Ganondorf, (mind you not being in control of said "puppet") so what was sealed wouldn't really affect the next "resurrection". Now your answer could of been relevant if not for the fact we learned Ganondorf is alive, sealed but alive, under Hyrule castle spewing out enough Malice to create his puppet/phantom. B4 that it was believed that Ganon had given up on resurrecting and was appearing in a spirit like form fueled by rage, if that had stayed the case then your point would have made perfect sense.
If what you said about the location of the battle is true, it could also possibly be from Calamity Ganon, as during the final fight, Dark Beast Ganon uses a dark beam attack.
Dark Beast Ganon's beam is the same color as malice but the remnant of the ice in Hebra is an eerie blue, like the Guardian's laser beams. Also, the way Dark Beast Ganon fires his dark beam couldn't leave the same topographical mark as the hole in Hebra Mountain. He always starts his beam from the ground and then goes up. The hole in Hebra Mountain denotes a beam that was fired already from elevation at the start.
A very insightful take on an obscure part of Zelda lore. I didn't even realize that Hebra Peak had that hole. I've been in that spot, but I never saw it from far away
As soon as you mentioned the meteorite theory I instantly starting thinking of Ice Age: Collision course
Crossover confirmed. Also Scrat is the reason for Duelling Peaks.
Zeltik: What punched the hole?
Me: JAEGER!!!!
Hell yeah
What happened to the video that was supposed to drop wendsday about the Temple in windwaker?
Same thing I was thinking about
We will never know I guess
The temple in windwaker had easter eggs pointing to the Clinton's involvement with Jeffery Epstein and Zeltik got suicided. This video was his deadman's switch. Shame.
He probably replaced it with this one

There was just a brief period of time when I didn't know all the tricks of the game and I needed two shards of his claw and it took about two hours filled with various complications.
We're best buds now, though.
@@phylion6067 Yeah, I had the same problems when trying to obtain horn shards from Dinraal and Naydra. I would rarely see those two. I thought to myself saying: why should I wait for dragon spirits when I could be finding shrines and completing shrine quests. However, I had no choice but to be patient.
There’s a special quest that references it as a “pierced snowy peak”.
And I also noticed it seems to line up with the breach of demise pretty well
Wasn’t this supposed to be a Tower of the Gods Video though? From wind waker?
Don’t get me wrong I’m ok with this. But I’m still waiting for that TotG vid.
Alternarnative explanation: Calamaty Ganon may also have used some form of beam attack and hit the mountain.
I don't think his beam attacks are quite that big though
@@torreywhiting5402 Not in THIS game but remember he's woefully underdeveloped here
ItsARandomEncounter
His beams went ground up.
This attack was already elevated
Apparently Calamity Ganon has memories of the previous battles... that’s how he could prepare for what occurred during the Great Calamity
Maybe we'll fight him again as a leadup boss to Ganondorf.

I haven't even played Breath of The Wild and I'm still so interested to hear about its mysteries.
Have you picked up the game yet?
It was obviously Simbad with his djinn power.
In the trailer for the sequel of breath of the wild, the hole can be seen when the castle ascends or collapses. Which adds questions to the time travel theory.
Why time travel?
Do you mean "can't"?
@@TheLadyLiddell No if you look at that trailer the hole is here
@@AnonimanPiotr There's a theory saying that when they find mummified Ganondorf that it's link and zelda but back in time
So what's your point? I don't see a correlation between hole and time travel.
Great video as always Zeltik!
As I watched, I was thinking you'd track the angle as you did. My thoughts were maybe there would be a crater and the end of the angle, but I definitely hadn't considered something like a Divine Beast beam from the opposite direction. I thought something fell from the sky but a blast from ground level is even more likely given no crater lol
Probably Vah Medoh aiming down or Vah Ruta aiming up.
@@akudaemon1478 I say Ruta. If it was Medoh, then we would see a crater or something in the ground.
@@geoman265. Agreed. I was looking for any indication that the blast came from above but with no impact to the earth, its more likely it was shot ground up. Really cool to see worldy scars from previous Calamity
Omfg finally there’s a theory about this I needed to kNOW ever since I found out
6:56 : just like the tapestry seems to show, the hamster battle took place in the exact same spot in which you fight Dark Beast Ganon

Don't we all
I fleepin divine beasts fired a big laser boi through it.
Edit: I just watched the video and I was right yuuussss :D
Wonder if Ganondorf's chamber is located directly below that spot in the fields
I've been there twice and I noticed the carved out 'carmelized' appearance of the area. Although, I didn't put much thought into it at the time. It's amazing how intricate this game is.
I noticed a similar hole. It’s in Trilby Valley, south of lake Farona and Death Mountain
There sure is one there.
One could use the Sheikah Scope & Beacons in conjunction with the Infinite/Moon Jump glitch to accurately pinpoint the source/destination of the impact.
Yo this is a good idea.
How would you pinpoint the source without height data? Especially 10.000 years after the fact, when there's probably been major shifts.
@@Llortnerof Using the angles of the edges of the "hole".
10,000 would cause quite a shift, in reality, but this is a video game we're talking about.
They're not going to geologically analyze the land to that extent when only about 10% of the player base would actually do the same. lol
@@ThatAnArchyDude You can't pinpoint it because the source doesn't have a definite height. Each titan has their "gun" at a different point and height. Naboris' is much higher up than Rudania's. Medoh can fly on top of that. Pinpointing would at the very least require knowing which one did the shot, and that still might only be good enough to cut it down to a few likely spots. At least we can probably rule out that the shot went the other direction, there doesn't seem to be much reason they'd fire from Hebra into Hyrule Field.
And since the terrain has often changed majorly even between games much closer together than 10,000 years...
(Why did they go so overboard anyway? Even 1,000 would have been plenty. 10,000 would work better if the original usage was against Demise pre-Skyward Sword. At this point the world basically worked itself up from Bronze Age at least thrice by BotW.)
@@Llortnerof That last paragraph was F'ing hilarious, and not far off. lol
We could still pinpoint a more narrow area of origin.
It just might be the shot Link deflected.
At least we'd know where he was when deflected it, and that might give us a better idea of where it came from is all I'm getting at.
It was somebody mastering the Kamehameha wave
Yes. Hadoooooken! ^^
You just hear peaceful Hyrule music interrupted by someone screaming for a power up
Me before watching: most likely Medoh, since the Rito know to fear Medoh despite it just circling... possibly feared due to stories of it destroying Hebra peak.
Me after: I didnt take into account the age of the scar, but I like where you went with this
Why are twin peaks obviously split in half as well though?
The game says that the Twin Peaks were split in half by a dragon so that it would be easier to move across Hyrule. These events are completely unrelated.
Once again my ignorance is revealed and corrected! 👍. Might I ask where that is said? I missed that somehow.
@@bettermentprojectnotes808
There's an old man in a stable with a view of the mountain who will tell you the story
In the BOTW sequel trailer, the hole is still there if we are still theorizing that the sequel could be a...prequel?
It's almost certainly not a prequel
It'll just be a prequel if Nintendo decides to play with time travel.
Never noticed the hole in the mountain before...But as soon as I saw it, my mind went straight to one of the Divine Beasts!
I think Ganon with a laser of malice perfored it
If that were to be so, wouldn't there be malice on the hole in the mountain?
Ganon's malice beam hit it first, then one of the divine beasts lasered it?
Haven't played in quite a while, but I think the last Ganon form does it.
Otto Middleton In the final battle
@@thewatchingwatson Could be that when they beat him 10,000 years ago, that malice vanished leaving only a giant crystalized hole.
I think that the whole is blast from a guardian laser blast or Ganon himself.
With a guardian, the lasers are too small. With ganon, the color of the ice would most likely be a purplish red color.
The He in Hebra is pronounced the same way you'd pronounce the He in Help.
Hebra's name is derived from the Hebrides in Scotland.
Been saying He-bra because it sounds better. :/
