Yes the last journal entry was written right before Calamity Ganon's unexpected return. Also I like how you put the little image in the corner to indicate which memory ties to which journal entry.
Yeah I agree, the King was realizing what he was doing was wrong, wanting to make things right, but then Calamity struck, anyway I had a feeling these would be next, now will likely come the champions Journals, keep doing a wonderful job.
The king had a 100 years of waiting. So taking what he realizes about putting too much pressure on Zelda while he was alive. So when Link woke from his 100 years sleep the King actually allowed Link to go at his own pace a checking out the Tower and the shrines and exploring the Great Plateau and only once Link is ready, would he reveal his true identity as the king
I lost my father too. He was waiting for me to come back for fall break from college when I saw him in the hospital he was unconscious and a priest was there saying he would soon be gone. I don’t know if he heard me or not but I promised to keep making him proud and happy. He’s still here, I remember him and see him in my dreams. And in every single diary I kept I drew pictures of my memories of him.
I had a feeling that King Rhoam was acting the way he was because he felt it was specifically necessary. That he felt that because of the stakes, and even if he understood Zelda's pain and even if he just wanted to console her, that he needed to be "The Bad Guy" and push her to unlock her power as soon as possible.
Because he tried to force it. Getting the Triforce of Wisdom to manifest within Zelda through demanding she complete her training, doesn't work like that. Training wasn't going to unlock shite, Zelda needed something more real in her life to unleash her power that training won't accomplish alone. He let stressful events blind him to realize that she needed to be in the spur of the moment that will allow her to act, an experience that pushes her out of her introvertness and into action, putting herself on the line to protect people she cares about.
@@carolinebergin4633 I'm pretty sure there are theories as to how each Zelda of every generation has access to Divine Power. Some Zeldas already know how to use their power whereas BOTW Zelda had to unlock hers with an act of love.
Zelda's diary, especially the entry where she reveals why Link is a hero that never/rarely speaks, is my favorite of the texts you can read in game. Thanks for providing context to her writings with the relevant memories. And thank you to LunaFreya and SirCrossPad for your voice work.
if I remember correctly, according Sidon, he mentioned something about a prophet telling the king of hyrule about Ganon's return, that prophet had to have been Astor.
@@pauljordan0203 its not canon per se, but rather a what if scenario of sorts. There is a trilogy and in order its Age of Calamity, Botw and Botw2. Age of Calamity doesn't have much to do with Botw2 since it takes place before it, in a timeline where the events of Age of Calamity didn't happen.
King Rhoam is a king. But in a way the reason he pushed Zelda to me is equal to keeping her alive. If Hyrule falls, that it only means that she died. It is only when she died that Hyrule truly fall. He wanted to coddle her but he couldn't. If you notice his grave watches Hyrule Castle. He worries for her even in death. A parent's love can be complicated. Some parents will accept being hated by their children as long as their child will live and find happiness even if that happiness is far from with them. This is Rhoam's sacrifice. Her love for her life.
I've never seen anyone point this out, but, interestingly, the King calls the royal family’s tradition of naming the daughters Zelda a “frivolous musing” but he does it to “build his royal memorandum.” It almost sounds like he married into the royal family and Zelda’s mother was sovereign instead of the other way around.
I mean that makes sense because Zelda's mother also had the sealing powers as per the bloodline tradition. He definitely married into the family though there is little to say if Zelda's mom was the sovereign at the time or got married when she was a princess herself
Poor Zelda. Her childhood has been an onerous experience. Her mother died before the Queen could begin teaching her. She's spent at least a decade training, trying to awaken her dormant powers and its all ended in nothing but frustration.
This was beautifully well done :). Lunafreya and Sir CrossPad both did a wonderful job at vocally acting out the journal entries. It's a very impressive feat. It was also smart of you guys to pair the journal entries with the cinematic scenes from the game. It makes them more integrated with the story, especially with when exactly the events of these entries transpired. And of course the thoughts both Zelda and King Rhoam had during these events. Excellent job to all of you 👏 👍.
Coming back to this after playing tears of the kingdom really makes me wonder. Who was it that Zelda saw in her dream? Was this a premonition of her meeting between the founders of Hyrule? Could that beautiful woman be Queen Sonia?
It’s not too odd when you think about it. It sounds like the king and the queen of Hyrule were very close. Maybe she was thinking the same thing as him
Extremely well done with this part, I should of guessed these come next, and really well voiced, though it is emotional as well, especially the King, who now felt regret, and wanted to make amends, and also I am extremely amazed at how you put this with the memories as well, if I have to guess, the Champions Journals come next, keep doing a wonderful job, I look forward to much more.
Except that neither Link, Zelda nor Rhoam ever show signs of knowing Astor as "the Fortuneteller" despite of the prophecy having arrived *years in advance* prior to Ganondorf's return as Calamity Ganon. Since none of the characters in Age of Calamity ever seem to even know who he is that only points to Astor and the Fortuneteller not been the same individual. PS: Age of Calamity is *non canonical* it's been prooven already based on contradictory information found in both Breath of the Wild and Age of Calamity.

Link's father was probably in good relationship with the Royal Family due to his own skills as a swordman and as a knight and may in fact have had a very strong friendship with King Rhoam given the relationship between previous incarnations of Link and Zelda's family(King Daltus and Grandpa Smith from Minish Cap were really good friends when they were young).

Still love Zelda, still hate Rhoam no matter how many times I read his diary entries. His 'bad guy' routine always pisses me off. She needed his SUPPORT, not his CONTEMPT! He should have done better rather than treating her like shit to where she doubts & talks badly about herself 24/7. He should have been a better parent rather than a king first, that dickhead. He realized *FAR* too late that he had to make amends when he should have done it AGES ago rather than last second.

Really odd that only the king has decided to name her Zelda, when her mother didn’t have a say on this, or either shared an agreement with Rhoam.
