    This is the thing that a lot of people tend to forget about BOTW and even more so in TOTK, it's that both games primarily focus on environmental storytelling over the main story we see through the memories in BOTW and the dragon tears in TOTK. A lot of fans are so used to having the story given to them through cutscenes rather than having to piece things together on their own. Of course, the previous Zelda games also had environmental storytelling, but not to the same degree as the open-world titles. I prefer this storytelling method as it allows for more variety when it comes to theories and discussions.

    • @Mari_Izu
      @Mari_Izu 3 місяці тому +18

      Yeah, people got so used to cinematics they forgot games can tell more story from environment than cutscenes, Hyrule is a character on its own.
      It's also the story we make ourselves while playing, BotW and TotK does that very well.

      While I agree I see no reason why the two shouldn’t co exist and collide with each other. I think majoras mask does this best. Imo it does a very good job of delivering a highly competent main story. While simultaneously giving a lot of environmental and implied storytelling that allows the player to piece things going on in the world around them. Different series, but The last of us is another example of good environmental storytelling with a strong narrative. I was more willing to forgive botw because it had a stronger focus on the surface of hyrule. But totk often leaves me dissatisfied and wanting more from areas such as the depths or especially sky islands

    The biggest thing they could do for TotK DLC/followup would be letting us rebuild Hyrule now that its been a few years since the calamity was defeated and all the discoveries thanks to the upheaval. They could use the construction for Link's House in Tarrey Town and do a spinoff finally using the fact that Hylians are built using Miis.

    I love botw and totk, but I hope the next game has a fully intact civilization. It's mainly because we haven't had a Zelda game with a large amount of towns and cities and it would be pretty cool for the next open air game.

    • @ernshaw78

    In age of calamity there are a lot of settlements and landscapes that look lively before the they were ruin in botw/Totk. I just wish there was a zelda game that wasn't a spin off. where we could explore this hyrule before it was destroyed.

    • @Mari_Izu
      @Mari_Izu 3 місяці тому +2

      I think AoC satisfied me enough on that and TotK made me satisfied with this world and want to move on, but I would kind of like if a small team made another game in this world, but not as a mainline Zelda, but as a MMO where you play as a random Hyrule Citizen having to deal with all the dangers the world offer while the main team makes the new big Zelda title.

    My personal hypothesis on the house above Bonè Pond was that either a hermit, shaman, or even a witch could have lived there. It’s a very small house, likely big enough for only one person. I don’t think a zora would have lived there because they prefer to sleep in water, likely a way of preventing the desiccation of their gills. It being surrounded by bones gives me the impression that a pretty hardcore person lived here by themselves but were still close enough to the village below to interact with people from time to time. I remember that in older Zelda titles that witches would usually live alone in houses with bone-decor, so it might not be too much of a stretch. I’m sure the Hyrule could make use of a witch or mage for combat or potion-making purposes.

    Honestly with Bond Pond Hill's ruin, I have my bets it was a Hylian way point to zora's domain. Hyland messengers heading to the domain would probably stop in to rest. Or it was just an outpost for the Royal family to keep a guard posted to oversee traffic in and out of Zora's domain by that path.

    I love it. HG -- Literally one of the only ones not spreading and partaking in the negativity with regard to Tears of the Kingdom, and instead allowing the positivity that exists to flourish. It's not a perfect game by any means, but there is still so much detail and lore to be extracted!!!!! People don't understand, this is what it will take for Nintendo to change their minds about adding DLC to the game.

  • @AudacioresPuella
    @AudacioresPuella 3 місяці тому +1

    I just want to point out that the outpost in Rabella Wetlands is right next to the path from Lurelin Village to Hateno Village. There isn't really a proper path that you can see, but based on the landscape it was clear enough that it was supposed to be one. The path goes right past Keya Pond. In totk before you clear Lurelin of pirates there are actually signs on the "road" very close to that outpost ruin saying that the road to Lurelin is closed due to pirates. There is also what seems to be a checkpoint or toll booth sort of structure at the beginning of the path on Firly Plateau. In botw you could go though basically undisturbed but in totk there are a couple low level monsters camping at the checkpoint ruins.

  • @DarkAngelBluejay
    @DarkAngelBluejay 3 місяці тому +1

    A thought strikes me. You seem to keep looking to these places in terms of happening "pre-calamity". Everything that was there being there since before the Calamity happened. For stone structures, especially ones like the outposts, that makes sense. But for wooden structures? Less so. I'm not trying to say none of the theories could work. Many could, and I could be looking at this wrong. But the Calamity would have changed more than just living spaces. Roads, trade routes, hunting trails, wildlife. All of these would have had to change to account for monsters and guardians. For the sake of safety. And there's no reason to think the monsters wouldn't move about.
    What I'm saying is, the map of Hyrule we see in BOTW and TOTK is the latest version of things. All these roads are dirt paths. Some barely that. But with the exception of the ones furthest from the Castle, it's likely these roads are less than 25 years old.
    Some of the houses we see may have been attempts to settle trade routes, or hunting paths and such that were viable 10, 15, 25 years prior. But have since become too dangerous. Or were beset by monsters at some point that moved on after the people left.
    People go to where the resources are. anywhere with a Well was likely to have been an attempt at something bigger. Anything without, could have been a single, or group of traders, or hunters. Someone living where they could acquire their livelihood.

    Isolated houses may simply have been inhabited by hermits. People who for some reason or another actively avoided human contact. The (dark) flip side is people who were shunned or downright banned from contact with other people might have lived in those isolated houses. There's no reason to believe Hyrule was this perfect society free of discrimination.
