The Curious Case of Kakariko Village - Zelda Theory

I’m tripped out, because the peanut farmer that you used is my uncle! He’s a peanut farmer in Georgia, USA! Lmao

"Kakariko Village was a peaceful place..." color shifts to negative colors "Until it WASN'T"

I never got over the fact that bongo bongo is literally the upper torso of a man with his hands and head chopped off. Goshh

Monster maze makes a new video Nintendo: let's go we get to learn the lore

What I love about the Zelda lore community is their ability to make a 25min video based on a couple random pools of acid used as obstacles for the player and make it all sound logical and compelling.

She farms cucoo’s because her brother did first before he left to go into the forest. It’s probably the last connection she has to him after he disappears. It’s kind of heartbreaking...

Kakariko Village: seemingly peaceful, but SUPER CREEPY. [Insert Zonai swirl here]

It's so creepy that these people are living a normal life above, yet they don't know about this whole dungeon beneath their feet. There's literally bodies down there!

Thor said it best; “Your Ancestors Called it Magic, but You Call it Science. I Come From a Land Where They Are One and the Same.”

I love me a good Zelda theory

I had not even really thought about those Green pools before but now that i think about it, that makes 3 forms of magic liquid in the Zelda Franchise. Malice, the blue liquid used in Sheikah technology found in BOTW and the green pools in Ocarina of time. Interestingly the colors all correspond to the 3 goddesses, Nayru, Din and Farore. Perhaps these liquids are some form of pure essence from each of the goddesses used to create Hyrule. It does seem to fit as Farore, represented by the color green created life so it stands to reason that it can reanimate corpses, and is often used to represent spirits. Similarly Nayru is the goddess of Wisdom, represented by the color blue who created Law and order, which in terms of the universe can be calculable with mathematics which would explain why Sheikah technology would use a blue liquid. And Malice is red and black and represents Din who is associated with creating the material realm which might explain why Malice is shown as being more of a goop than a liquid and can take shape such as Malice eyes or Ganons Blights.

0:59 I’d like to point out that this lady was also JUGGLING HER CUCCOS in the end credits of the game.

I've said this before but I want to say it again, they should 100% add redeads to BOTW2. Anyone else agree?

"The fact that a lot of people died here doesn't automatically explain why they would rise from the grave." Except many fantasy stories would explain it because of specifically the way they seem to have died.

Aaaand just when I thought you couldn't get any better at cinematography and editing, you did just that. This was a spectacle to watch, as well as a hell of a theory that attempts to tie so much of this Kakariko weirdness (and even BotW 2) together. Impressively well done sir. Also, points for Ocarina of Time love.

Never ever noticed the Sheikah texts in the houses around Hyrule. So many great arguments made in this video you guys.

And the moral of the story is: don’t mess around with Farore‘s powers. She gives life, and she can take it away.

So since this was a Civil War, and there are very few Sheikah left... And Hylians now live in Kakariko. It could be the Royal Family found out about the Sheikah experiments and that kicked off the Civil War. An early version of the Yiga, if you will.

With how smart and resourceful the Sheikah were, I find it hard to believe that they are really dead. I mean they were basically ninjas and they had knowledge of magic and even of tunnels and caves

I love these theories. I wonder if the River of the Dead from BOTW is really the flooded village and temple. If so... It’s pretty close to the resurrection chamber as well. So maybe the connection is even stronger.
