Tears of the Kingdom Dungeons are FANTASTIC
After escaping the great sky island, I walkthrough the wind temple, the lightning temple, fight a gleeok, find the hylian shield, and some other stuff

@Noud de Roos fair enough! Have fun!
@SmallAnt do you like koroks? Because it looks like your SUFFERING them
@SmallAnt im playing with my dad btw (its a really fun game ngl)
@SmallAnt i subbed
This is the way how anyone should play a game, you set a goal then ignor it because you saw something interesting
If you like that style of playing you should check out Skyrim then😆😬
Exploration in a nutshell
TOTK really is “hey what’s that” the game
took me two day to finish my queue of things to do before heading to one of the four areas with dungeons. Among other things, sumbled on the final boss room before doing like, the first thing in the game
Literally like any other open world. Nothing special
9:37 just to be clear, this was answered in BotW. In the final cutscene, we see the spirits of the champions (and the king) disappear, so they can no longer offer their assistance with their powers. So no Ravioli for you in TotK
In case anyone was wondering like I was, they also dismantled all the ancient technology like Guardians and Divine Beasts
@Jimbo i did, but like how and why? The plot hole is pretty big and i am kind of disappointed at that
Edit: Also, they didn‘t bother to rebuild central hyrule one bit but dismantled every ancient technology for whatever reason?
@lYcronix its a major point that they we’re rebuilding all of Hyrule. The Castle and Castle Town are nothing but ruins, the cleanup would take a very long time so they just built a new town outside of Castle Town. I’m not sure how, but they dismantled all the Guardians for parts to better their society, SkyView towers being one such example.
But at the end of they day, it’s Zelda. There are some assumptions you have to make, and it’s not going to make perfect sense from our perspective
In the true ending of Botw, Zelda and Link journey to Vah Ruta. It’s said that something is wrong with the divine beast. Perhaps the ancient tech just went back into the ground.
@Sman Gaming wdym the true ending? How do u get that?
Im loving this series. I hope it continues until ant finishes the game.
He is considering to 100% this
lore
I have a few issues, mainly the dungeons are super easy. All the ones ive done are easy asf.
Every zelda dungeon is easy – the reason why its a problem now is bc ur not a kid anymore
@Blu All of them are easy tbh! If u want good challenge, try to beat the game using minimum bow & use it only when necessary. Game is actually too easy right now, we need ultra master mode for a good soulslike experience
Tulin is literally a shonen protagonist, saving the world with the power of friendship at the age of 10
I really love how big the space and possibilities are in this game. It really puts the “open” in open world.
Tears of the Kingdom single handedly destroying the presumed lore that Skyward Sword Link and Zelda founded Hyrule
Then again, it could just be that Demise returned again and they rebuilt hyrule… again
Yeah like, didn’t they create hyrule? It may be that they created a village and the zonai created the kingdom.
We need a The Legend of Zelda: Timeline explained
@No time for creative names just for games yeah, if you think of it logically, they never stated they were setting up a Kingdom, just that they should name the land after the events of Skyward Sword. It would for sure take a good amount of time to get to a state where a political structure could even be implemented.
Though that begs the question…
If TotK’s past takes place after Skyward Sword with the literal first King of Hyrule, then this Ganondorf predates OoT Ganondorf (and was sealed away while that one kept returning). If this is the first King of a rebuilt/reborn Hyrule then it’s a new Ganondorf regardless, but one long after the other one.
My personal theory is that they are retconning the Downfall Timeline to not be based on an arbitrary Link death in OoT but instead this backstory, making it a completely separate branch where TotK’s ancient past is the events that happened instead of OoT. This making the two Imprisoning Wars the same, and this Ganondorf the source of Calamity Ganon, which is also simply the Ganon from the Downfall Timeline games.
Basically, Skyward Sword splits to either OoT or TotK’s ancient past. OoT leads to WW, TP, MM, etc while TotK’s past leads to A Link to the Past, Oracles, the original Zelda, then eventually BotW and TotK itself.
Of course I could be wrong and this game simply serves as a soft reboot/makes all the old games only partially canon by making them literal legends.
The Zelda timeline literally never made any sense at all once you stop to think about it, Nintendo just acted like it did after some underpaid intern was probably tasked with making one for Hyrule Historia.
Huge respect for the effort Smant is putting in to get these up 🙌
I missed Smallant uploading Zelda. I even rewatched all old ones before TOTK came out xD!
It’s unreal how many shrines can be solved with Time Reverse. It may not be efficient or proper, but it makes me feel like I gamed the system.
Man I solved about 5 of the 30 shrines I’ve done with the time rewind just because I didn’t know how to do the shrine the intended way. Such a fun ability
