Sass Protocol: ACTIVATE! The Lore of TEARS OF THE KINGDOM! (pt. 2)

minor note in the gerudo chapter: ganon abandoning the reincarnation cycle is a confirmed mistranslation. in the correct japanese version he vehemently refuses to give up on the cycle of reincarnation

Ahhh, yes, the Depths. When I first dove down I couldn't help but wonder:

"Why are the Mines of Moria under Hyrule??"

the Divine Beasts did indeed get decommissioned and disassembled. Ditto for the Guardians, their storage-pillars, and the shrines (and those that weren't recycled got collapsed into the depths below and destroyed when the Upheaval hit), and the towers got recycled into the new towers.

I didn't even know about the following the geurdo child into the classroom. I got lost in the sandstorm and ended up in the training area by the town and met the geurdo leader which let me skip straight to helping defend the town.

At the end of BoTW Zelda remarks how the Divine Beasts have stopped working

Finishes fire temple goes back across the map to do the lightning temple instead of the water temple right next to wear your already at lmao love ya tip

They actually explain why the ships and all those ruins are up there; it's ancient Rito architecture. The Legend of the Stormwind Arc tells the story of a "god" (probably a Zonai, possibly even Rauru but probably not) who fell from the heavens and became stranded on the surface during a time of ancient upheaval, where the winds the Rito depended on had abandoned them. The Rito built the fleet of ships to help the "god" return to his home, and as thanks, the "god" sent them the Stormwind Arc, which returned the winds to the Rito. They literally call the ships "a path skyward"; they were built so that someone who couldn't necessarily fly on their own power could get up into the sky.

At 0:26, same… 45 minutes to complete that until I realized “oh yeah, ascend”

"Forgetting that we had those abilities and wasting time climbing."

Why you called out some of the player base?😂

After the Rito arc, I decided to activate all the towers (most of them) first. But I got tempted to do the Zora arc while nearby. I couldn't resist the temptation to see my fishy himbo.❤

There is no sass like over-sass.

Part one has become a staple bedtime story— looking forward to part two!

More lore from the Lore Lady, woo! Also much more sass, I like it.

You know most of these "contrivances" are actually explained in the story itself: after the battle against The Dorf ending in a stalemate and the death of Rauru, Zelda planned with the sages a way to awaken their powers in the future and help Link, while also hiding the Zonai secret stones for tens of thousands of years, and maybe also redacting most of the details from recorded History (although that also could have happened naturally over the millenias), basically making sure the stones won't fall in bad hands.

Because remember, she have foresight since she came from said future, she knows that the Demon King will not be sealed forever, she witnessed the fact that even a fucked up Master Sword was able to wound him, but also thinks Link won't be able to defeat him alone.

In one hand, it would have been a dick move from her and the then sages to put the secret stones in places Link and the future sages would have absolutely no way to reach and with no directions whatsoever, and in the other hand, it would have been staggeringly irresponsible to let everyone know of these powerful artefacts that almost lead to the end of the world.

Umm, if both sonia and raeru had died, how did their descendants (Zelda's entire family tree) come about?

Ooh, a special guest appearance of Lady of Sass. I can't wait.

Love the Conkers reference. 😂

Nothing like Friday sass!🎉

I hope all the temples are still in the next game. I'd love to see them being used by their respective races.

Amazing stuff!

I indeed was going through the depths and searched around but mostly for some of the secret gear we can find, like the Twilight sword, ganondorf used in twilight princess, the different outfits that are hidden down there and the roots for teleportaion points
Also you do get a reward for finding all light roots..... some weird like seed that just sits in your inventory like a trophy and does absolutely nothing
Even hestus little pile of sh*t still at least made him dance

That "price" is more like a kick in the guts, more kicks while your laying on the ground and then getting your money stolen
