Hey everyone, I am Nathaniel Roppeljantz and we are launching or relaunching a new series here at the Nintendo Prime YouTube channel called Zelda Incruz. You can go back and watch some of the old episodes back when it was the Zelda Informer YouTube channel if you want. Things are gonna be a little different this time around because it's not just gonna be like a static image with some particle effects, and it's not just gonna be me on camera. My goal is to bring in all of the faces that are talking about Zelda for you because I've been running Zelda stuff for what 18 years I said almost 19 now, so it's one of those things where I have a huge passion for Zelda. I'm always gonna have a huge passion for Zelda, and I'm gonna be bringing on other people that have also a huge passion for Zelda to talk about Zelda with you guys every single week. So on this very first inaugural episode of Zelda Incruz, I have someone who I know is a big Zelda fan. I've been on his channel actually talking about Zelda before, and that would be Mr. Game Over Jesse. Hi everybody. Happy to be here. And then a good old pal who helped me out on the Zelda Informer podcast randomly after I asked for people to help out on Twitter way back in the day. Has his own YouTube channel Mason of Del Fino. Hey, what's going on guys? And as you'll see in his video, he might have the biggest Nintendo collection I've personally seen from someone I actually know. Like I've seen pictures of someone who's like the biggest collection in the world, but I don't I've never talked to that person, but I have talked to you. And the thing is you have that huge collection, and how old are you? I'm 19. It started when I was 15 almost. So that is such a huge collection. It started out with the Mario poster. It's snowballed from there. So.  So we're here obviously to talk about some Zelda and for those who don't know Zelda increases is a show or kind of a discussion a round table where we talk about either topics that I really want to talk about this week or it'll be stuff that primarily you guys bring up. So down in the comment section here on YouTube or on social media or wherever you have seen this that has Nintendo Prime as the primary place because I'm I'm not gonna go to other people's websites to read their comment sections. You can just leave a comment and ask a question for us to talk about. So bring up a topic, you know, you want us to talk about the ever-present chic gender debate for some reason. You go ahead and bring it up, and that is something that we will talk about on the following episode. So let's just get into what the topics are this week, and we're gonna start with a few people on Facebook who have a couple interesting questions, and I'm gonna snowball this a little bit based on something that Alfred who is the host of the Zelda Informer podcast, which I will throw a link down to that podcast in the description for you guys, brought up in a recent episode and this comes from Leon Howard on the Nintendo Prime Facebook page. It says, will we see demise anytime soon, and I'm gonna add a caveat to this. Alfred brought up an idea that demise and calamity-ganning could be very closely related. So let's talk about this. Obviously, you guys know who demise is, right? See, okay, real quick, real quick. I've never heard of that up until this game. You never heard of demise? No, I have not. That is one thing that I'm clueless on with this. Okay, so demise is actually from Skyward Sword. Okay, see I never played that game, and this is kind of cool. Like, here we go. So yeah, so for any of our viewers that haven't actually played Skyward Sword, because, you know, Mason of the Funals is not the only one out there, right? Yeah, Skyward Sword was skipped by a lot of people, so. Yes, yeah. So let me just explain what who demise is, because demise is kind of an important character in Zellalor. So demise was, you know, spoiler warning, by the way, for Skyward Sword. Demyze is kind of the enemy character that set up a giant curse on everything. Demyze is basically the reason that Ganondorf and all the other various enemies happen. Because when Link defeats him at the end of Skyward Sword, he, with his dying breath, which it's, it's interesting if it's his dying breath because he gets sealed inside the Master Sword. It's really weird.  So essentially, it just means that Hyrule is going to be in a perpetual war for all time. And that's Demyze's importance to the story, and we have never seen Demyze again ever, because he just didn't even exist. Like, Skyward Sword went back and wrecked a bunch of stuff, because that's just what Nintendo does. So that's Demyze's overall importance to the series, is he is now the excuse for why there's always another Zelda game, basically. Yeah, I think it was Nintendo's easy way out of being trying to explain why there's always Zelda at the same time. There's Link at the same time. There's a big buddy. So it was their plot device to be like, okay, well, we can do this. And then he's the reason they keep reincarnating over and over and over. And I had to say Demyze looks like a badass. He does. Giant beast, long flowing hair. I posted a thing the other day on Twitter saying something like Broly from Dragon Ball Z plus Ganondorf equals Demyze. So I guess I'll throw this one at Game Over, Jesse, since he obviously knows a bit more backstory here, or a lot more than Demyze. Right, yeah. Right. So like, do you think Demyze is going to return anytime soon, and do you think there's any relation to Calamity Ganon? Well, there's always like, how we just got on saying that Ganondorf and presumably all the other baddies, like Zant or whoever, is basically Demyze just reincarnated with a different look or whatever. But Calamity Ganon doesn't at this point in time look like he really has a physical form. So it could just be like the manifestation of the evil or the power, the corruption that was Demyze. Because we've seen Demyze in his human or humanoid form, which was Demyze, but then he also had his beast form, like how Ganondorf has Ganon. He had the imprisoned, which was like his monster, beast form or whatever. So presumably there could be a connection between the two beast forms, but I I don't know. Yeah, it's hard because Like, Scarlet Sword is the most recent console Zelda game to come out. So like Demyze is relatively a new character to Zelda fans. Lower wise, he's not new, because the Scarlet Sword is listed as the very first game in the Zelda timeline right now. There are events that happen before Scarlet Sword, so they can potentially make a game before Scarlet Sword if they want, but it's one of those things that even though lower wise, he's at the beginning of the timeline, he's a relatively new character, which means he doesn't really have a lot of stapled history in terms of showing up over the years. So like when I think, you know, is Demyze gonna return any time soon? I don't know if he can return, right? Because the way everything's set up, it seemed to almost be like he was intentionally a one-off enemy that is supposed to explain why all those other enemies exist. But in a way, I said it's really weird how Scarlet Sword ends because like, it tries to portray that it's his dying breath, he puts that curse out there. But then it's also inferred that he's sealed inside the Master Sword, which is why we have to say goodbye to Phi, or Phi. Because she has to sacrifice her being as a character to live inside the sword forever to keep him sealed. So in theory, if somehow Phi got separated, pulled out of the sword, it could potentially break the seal and Demyze could come back. So like, it's really weird.  This is a result of this all the time. How many times has Ganondorf died, but not died? It's like a Bowser situation almost. Yeah, it kind of, so Bowser's always there. He's ever present. Yeah, like Demyze hasn't been. Right. Really Ganondorf hasn't technically been either. I think it's maybe half of the games have Ganondorf or Ganondorf, or even less than half. Because there's like 18 Zelda games. Something like that. Or something like 19 or something. There's a lot of Zelda games. So it's just, it's interesting trying to think of him coming back because I just gave a scenario where Demyze could in theory come back. Whether or not Nintendo is ever going to explore that, I have no idea. You know, Jesse brought up an interesting point where like, because of how the curse works, you can argue that all the bad guys are like reincarnations of Demyze. I've never really thought about it like that, I guess. Because it kind of is, right? They exist because of him. Like that's what Lore says. Yeah, that's the idea that I had whenever I finished the game was that's the reason that there's always a new Zelda who we find out is the reincarnation of the goddess Hylia. There's always the hero Link who is the reincarnation. That's why I think most of the time they always say he possesses the spirit of the hero. Yeah. Right. And then all of the bad guys are just not necessarily saying Ganondorf is a reincarnation of Demyze, but the evil that makes him want to take over Hyrule or conquer and have everything his own is the evil from Demyze. Yeah, it's it's just a really interesting topic.  Do you think he's already been back because he reincarnates? You know, is that something you subscribe to? Do you see, like what Alfred from the Zelda Forward Podcast like suggested to me, you know, that maybe Calamity Ganon is, you know, is potentially Demyze and that what we're seeing is is even because there's no physical form yet that we're seeing him break out. And we just know him at that time in Hyrule's history. They know him as Calamity Ganon, but we later find out it's actually Demyze. Yeah, there one thing that I want to say is in the timeline, this is going, you know, very going full nerd into the timeline. Skyward Sword happened, you know, it was the most recent Zelda game. But as you were saying earlier, it takes place at the very beginning of the game. It's the oldest game, all right. All right, potentially thousands of years before any of the games that take place around, like the middle of the, the girth of the timeline. Yeah, like any game after Ocarina of Time presumably happens like a thousand or so years after the first game, Skyward Sword. So over time, you would likely forget the name Demyze or whatever. And the most current evil that's trying to take over the world that you know is likely Ganon or Ganondorf from Ocarina of Time. So if that name Ganondorf gets passed down or Ganon gets passed down, then anytime anyone sees something that's like this big evil beast trying to take over, whether it's Demyze or something else entirely, they're still going to look at it as if it was Ganon. So that could be it or it could just simply be Nintendo being like, oh, let's use Ganon again. Last time we had a home console Zelda game, we used Demyze. Let's go back to Ganon. Sure. Yeah, it's one of those things that there is a chance that maybe it already is Demyze and we find that out or we don't find that out. I don't know. They mess around with stuff so much, it's hard to know. But seriously, Leon, thanks for your question. Obviously, if you guys out there, you know, listening or watching have any, you know, any of your own theories on that, that'd be great. You know, I would love to see Demyze come back, but I kind of have a feeling that Ganon slash Ganondorf is kind of where they're going to keep going. And there's nothing wrong with that because he's obviously one of the iconic bad guys in all of Zelda. Yeah. The last time that we had Ganondorf and a home console Zelda game was Twilight Princess, which was over 10 years ago. So I think 10 years is long enough to see the return of Ganon. Well, the thing is, like, what's also interesting is that in Breath of the Wild, it's called Calamity Ganon, right? So like Ganon, the last time we actually saw Ganon, last time we saw him lore-wise was in the Dawnfall timeline. With the old school games from the 80s and 90s. But the last time, like in terms of like a 3D console game, was Ocarina of Time. Ganon and Dorf became Ganon for the final boss fight. So it's kind of interesting the dynamics there. And obviously we could talk about timeline placement, lots of stuff, which we might actually get into later. I think it was a question on Breath of the Wild for timeline. So let's move on to the next topic. And this one comes from someone who I recognize from the old Zelda Informer days. Because, you know, those days aren't actually behind me yet, because it's not April 30th. So at W Peace Boy on... What's this? Twitter? Yeah, the old Twitter. He has kind of a Breath of the Wild related question. He asks, what is Link in Breath of the Wild? Is he a human? Is he a Hylian? Is he an alien? And he jokingly says, perhaps a man-man in a box. And he says, that's because no one lives 100 years. No one sleeps for 100 years and actually lives through it. So partially a joke, partially serious, obviously. You know, we have it, like it hasn't happened as far as we're in Hyrule history, that any character beyond maybe Ganon and Dorf himself, has kind of just laid around for 100 years and came back, right? Right. So, what do you guys think this means? Is this just the natural evolution for the series? The natural evolution and maybe technology they have that makes that possible? Or is it because, you know, maybe we find out... We're always told all these years that Link is a Hylian, but maybe he's a mixed race. And mixed with some other race, maybe it's the Sheikah or something, that are enabled him to persist. Like, if we think about some of the characters that seem to live the longest, it's always like Impa or Ganon and Dorf. It's never a Hylian. You mentioned the Sheikah. I believe, wasn't there some kind of rumors, or some kind of theory, rather, that said, Link could have been a Sheikah because of the technology, the blue. The blue tunic he's wearing and stuff. The technology involved, he has a Sheikah slate, and everything that goes through the technology and everything, is linked back to that. You know what I mean? Personally, I think the Sheikah, they're always called the Sheikah tribe or whatever, which I guess there's also the Rideau tribe. But I look at the Zoras, the Hylians, the Gerudos, whatever. I look at those as races, and I look at the Sheikah as a title or a job, to where if you were a Zora, potentially you could be part of the Sheikah tribe. I don't really look at the Sheikah as their own race. I look at it as the protectors or the police for the Hylian royal family. Yet they seem to live a long time. Obviously, Impa is the most well-known, because that's what's so interesting about Breath of the Wild in general, is that we might finally get some insight into Sheikah that we've never had before. But even when you go into like the shrines in the game, those are some really old Sheikah people at the end. Like really old. And they disappear as soon as you finish the shrine. Yeah, so it's like, to me at least, it feels like the Sheikah tribe is one of those tribes that they just live a long time. I guess maybe why I refer to it almost as a race, because I don't, we haven't seen evidence of how the Inn can live that long. Or a Zora, or a Goron. We do have evidence technically of a Gerudo because of Ganondorf. But again, there's also a special case where the Gerudo have a new male Ganondorf or a new male thing, like what, once every thousand years or something. Yeah, he also has the Triforce of Power, so that could prolong his life. Make him a special use case. But they don't have that. The Sheikah tribe don't have a Triforce. They have magical abilities, clearly. But I don't know, I guess maybe that's why I never really... I don't know. The Sheikah tribe has always been described as protectors of the royal family. Occasionally protectors of the Triforce. And they've always had magic or a lot of mystery around them. I just wonder if there's something about what they do that allows them to live so long. It could just be the magic and the spells that they use. They could use it on themselves to prolong their lives. Just as I was saying, Ganondorf could potentially use the Triforce to prolong his life. But we don't really know. There's been maybe two or three actual Hylians that have looked like they were really, really old. There's usually the old man that is pictured in a lot of the Zelda games. But other than that, there's not really a group of old people to where as almost every time we see a Sheikah, or a member of the Sheikah tribe, aside from Zelda and Ocarina of Time, that becomes Sheik. Usually they're always depicted as being ancient or really old or whatever. Even Impas and Twilight Princess was another one that was really old. Yeah, it's just interesting. And I'm hoping we learn more about this throughout the game. To answer your question quite literally peaceful, he's obviously Hylian. And the fact that he sleeps for 100 years has to do with some technology. If you want a real-world comparison, you can kind of look at it similar to the theory behind cryogenic freezing. It is a theory, it is something that should technically be possible. We just don't have the technology to do it yet. But this is a video game. They have the technology. There was also the recent interview with Alnuma and Miyamoto where they said Link wasn't human. It was the Game Informer one, I believe. Was that just today or yesterday? It was the one where they had the 51 questions. Oh yeah, it's like round of fire questions. Yeah, you know how weird that one was? Yeah, they jokingly teased Paper Zelda. Yeah, that was a really fun interview, but I just don't know how much of that... I'll probably throw some clips up here in the video, but I don't know how much of that you can believe. Right, one of the things you can't really take that seriously, I don't think. Are they being real? Link's last name is Link. I thought the funniest part was... They said what's the secret to being happy or something like that. Alnuma said, forget everything. Yeah, and I think Miyamoto said something that was the exact opposite of that. It's like, oh my gosh. Anyway, thanks for your question, Peace. Obviously it's always nice having those really out there ones. You know, so... I'm just gonna say this isn't really a question. I mean, I guess it is, but it's a riddle. So, a tongue twister? I don't know. At Aaron the Schwage on Twitter said, how many links could a link link link have a link link? Could link links? Seven. Oh wow. That's the thing, it's not much of a tongue twister because it's the same word every time. It was a nice attempt. I'll give you a little slow clap here. Anyways, so I don't know if this person is serious, but I think they are because they asked two questions and the second one's pretty legit. But I'll cover the first one quick because it has to be because they just didn't pay attention when they played the game. At Ninthog drawing, the first question he says is, what is the castle that appears under the sea in Wind Waker?  So, short and sweet, Hyro got flooded and that's the castle. Maybe it was the thing where they were just watching their older brother or someone like us playing and they just called it. So I'm not trying to say it's a bad question, it's just kind of obvious I guess. But there we go, if you didn't know, now you know it's Hyro Castle down there, which is why Zelda becomes Zelda down there and the King becomes the King. But his second question brings up a topic that I hate talking about. But he asks, is Link dead in Majora's Mask? Or what is happening? You guys have some thoughts on that? I think it is the stupidest Zelda theory that I've ever heard. I mean, the obvious thing, the quickest way to disprove it is the Hyro Shade or whatever in Twilight Princess is an adult skeleton. And it's been confirmed that that is the Link from Ocarina of Time in Majora's Mask. So if Link died as a child in Majora's Mask, and that's all a dream or whatever, he's in limbo, whatever the theory suggests, then potentially the Hyro Shade you see in Twilight Princess would be a child skeleton instead of a fully grown adult's skeleton. So I think that's the easiest way to just disprove that without going, yeah, magic. Well, it's the thing, like, some people use that skeleton thing as evidence that it happened. Because what happens when you get lost in the Lost Woods?  Oh, put you on the spot here. Yeah, you were basically on the right track. So it's just, the thing is, there's ways to disprove that because that's what a Kokiri becomes. That's not what a Hylium becomes. That's always been the caveat with what happens when a Kokiri gets lost in the Lost Woods because that's all we hear about is what happens to a Kokiri, not what happens to a Hylium. And you can obviously explain that it's to counter your argument for it, that magic. It is what it is. But it's interesting because I think the biggest discredit comes from Twilight Princess, but doesn't come from the fact that, you know, that's the hero of time. It comes from the fact that Hyrule Historia mentions that the actual link you play as in Twilight Princess is a blood descendant from the opening of Time Link. So that means he had to be old enough to have children. And that doesn't mean that he could have did that as a child, but I just don't see Link from Ocarina of Time as a child impregnating someone. It's technically possible. I just don't think that happened. I don't think Nintendo would ever infer that happened. So, I always thought this theory was interesting because it works off the premise of the actual themes of the game. Death is a big theme in Majora's Mask. It's undeniable. But, as much as you want to talk about the theories around this, I could just tell you exactly why this is wrong. And it's because E.G. and Oma, the guy who created the game, said this isn't what happened. He actually said that this theory and the Five Stages of Grief that was the original the original theory was just the Five Stages of Grief and then it turned into the Link is Dead theory. Which Five Stages of Grief was started by some old Bombers writer at Zelda Informer like I don't know, eight years ago? So, I'm sorry. I ran Zelda Informer back then. He kind of started this theory. But, E.G. know what came out and he stated very plainly that as cool as of an idea that is, he thinks it's great that fans read into the games like this, he said that if that is the only thing to take away from those areas that you are missing out on a lot of their intended emotional impacts of those various areas. So like, if you only look at each section as a different stage of grief, you are missing out on the other intended emotions which means it's not part of the State of the Five Stages of Grief. Because there's supposed to be multiple emotions being evoked from every area. So, you know, it's one of those things where E.G. almost said that's not the case so that's not what it is. Link doesn't die. And Hyrule's story clearly points that Link went on and became an adult had children etc. Probably with Milan, I know shipping Milan and Link again. Is it Milan? I don't know. I used to call her Milan but then someone corrected me saying it was Malin. Just like Ocarina versus Ocarina or whatever. We all know what we're talking about. Right? So, yeah, that's kind of at least my thoughts on it because E.G. almost said it's not real. As for what's happening in Majora's Mask it's a parallel universe. Obviously, they went through some sort of time traveling whole thing and, yeah, Link got out of it. And Happy Mask salesman apparently could freely travel between worlds. Yeah, and it's not the first parallel world. There's always been a little world, the dark world, the sacred realm. Majora's Mask is a place that's having a rough time and bent through a lot. And Link basically fixes everything before he leaves. If you do all the side quests, he fixes everything. It's kind of cool because Majora's Mask is a fun note. It's the first game in the Zelda series that technically has multiple endings. And supposedly Breath of the Wild has multiple endings. So I know a lot of people are like, oh my god it's multiple endings, it's a good tell, a bad story. I'm like, really? Most people think Majora's Mask story is one of the better ones in that technically has multiple endings. Sorted Spirit Tracks. They had Awakening before Majora's Mask or after. Link's Awakening? Yeah. Link's Awakening was released before. But Link's Awakening also was just a dream. So it never happened. Sorry to ruin that game for people. Technically Link's Awakening never happened. Link was just passed out in the ocean. And then Link Awakened. But no, I know Right, I was going to say Breath of the Wild has DLC coming out through the summer, winter, holiday, whatever. In the second DLC pass, there's another story. Now, would that add to a different part of the Breath of the Wild timeline? Or would that just be a carryover of what we already have? I have no idea. The thing is, what's interesting, they call it an original story. Yeah, like you said, a whole other game in itself just with the same world, or what? Or do you play as a different character? I think it would be a prologue or an epilogue to where you go through the game as Link trying to find out what happened. Maybe it lets you play as Zelda doing all of the things that she has to do to set everything up. We see that she takes the Master Sword to the Deku Tree and all of this other stuff. Maybe it's you playing her on her journey while Link's in his slumber. That'd be cool. Or it's like what probably people want even more than that. I think that's a really cool idea. I would love to explore Zelda's side of everything. Especially in this particular game. It also could be at least maybe this is what I hope just because of how much how well this DLC went is the final DLC pack I think it was Blood and Wine for the Witcher 3 that was like literally like a whole game within itself. It was crazy good. I almost hope that that's what it is where it continues Link's journey into a new way and I think what's interesting about that is Zelda has never really I always say like I've always wanted Zelda to end on a cliffhanger. It's never going to. Oh my gosh that would drive me crazy. Yeah it drives me crazy but see Breath of the Wild knowing there's DLC in the future you completed the main objective. Your main objective was to stop Calamity Ganon. You're going to stop him in the main game but what if there's clearly something hinted at more. But you just kind of left hanging until it happens later. Which would be probably if that was like a cliffhanger leading into the DLC that would sell the DLC like crazy I'm sure you know not that it's not going to do well in its first place because it's Zelda. First time for Zelda DLC besides Chyphors Heroes I believe but you know I feel like that would do well if that was what the situation was. So this next person over on Facebook this should be a quick one because I think this is again not knowing the full lore behind the Zelda series Matt Johnson he asked are we going to be able to drink alcohol in Breath of the Wild since the ESRB rating has an alcohol reference in it and then he clarifies not that I would want Link to get drunk and if you do get drunk can it kill you.  That's just more of a curiosity question. But to clarify the ongoing thing in Zelda is that milk is alcohol. This is not really like hinted at very well throughout the series beyond places like Majora's Mask or a link between worlds with the milk bar. Wasn't Tama's Bar Tama's Bar I don't even remember what they served at Tama's Bar to be honest I don't know if they actually served real alcohol there if they were serving milk. But the ongoing thing in Zelda is that milk is not like milk here it is very equivalent to alcohol so like again that started in Majora's Mask with the reference that you're not old enough to drink this milk and clearly like people who are addicted to it and constantly coming to that particular bar all the time then obviously in the link between worlds where it had a drunk guy in there believe it or not there's a drunk guy who drank too much milk in the link between worlds. This isn't actually new for the series for there to be references to someone being drunk and milk being what got them drunk. History of the Zelda series tells you this isn't actually new. It is like the first time it's been listed in the ESRB rating and it's probably specifically because the guy who is drunk is very very obviously drunk like stumbling over himself mumbling burping. Other games haven't been so blatant about it. Other between worlds were called a milk bar but the guy that was drunk was basically passed out of the bar. So it's a very subtle thing that I don't think a lot of children would get. Majora's Mask again if you are a child you probably didn't understand the text of those words meant. But in this game it will be very indistinguishable there's no way you can look at this character and not know he's drunk. Hence they have to mention it in the rating. Why? I have no idea because in in the Witcher people are drunk in that game all the time and that's not mentioned in the rating. I don't know why the ESRB but just so you know we'll probably be able to drink milk because we've been able to do it before. It's never actually gotten drunk so I don't think we can get drunk off of it but maybe we can. Maybe that's why they have a character who is acting so drunk because it does blur our vision and make us do weird things which is not a new thing in gaming but that would be new for Zelda. Romani milk all the different kinds of milk you can throw in there. It's an open world game baby who knows how many different ranchers there are. So yeah I just wanted to give you a little kind of a little Zelda history lesson. It's kind of cool though. Something odd about that in Breath of the Wild we've seen tons of wildlife but I can't think of the time that we've actually seen a cow. You don't need cow for milk. Goats. Yeah, milk just come from cows. You're thinking too traditionally. That's the thing. That's what gives you the different variations of milk. Yeah. Of course we haven't seen cows yet. We've only seen 1% of the world remember? We haven't seen a ranch. Where's this milk coming from? I mean what are those cows eating that it becomes alcohol? That's what I want to know. Anyways, magic. It's Zelda. It's really weird too. I wonder who at one point during like some game development where some guy in the development team is like dude I'm going to put in a reference that milk is alcohol. Like an innocent children's drink is not alcohol. I just want to know who came up with that idea. That's maybe a question I might have to ask if I get to interview them someday. So who came up with this concept? Because it's crazy.  You could just include alcohol, but nope. Or even just wine, you know? Like whatever. Anyways, moving on. Speaking of breath of the wild. So this is the final fan topic we have. This is going to go because I want to transition into talking a bit about breath of the wild because breath of the wild basically comes out a week from now. Which is crazy. Time flies. Feels like we've been waiting most of our lives. Yeah. Mason himself was just becoming a teenager when the game went into production. Oh well, how was I when that weather released? Okay, I'm 19 now. At E3 when I started production I would have been probably 14ish. Oh my gosh, I'm old. So like 2011? Yeah, you're so old. No. Yeah, it was 2011 I think depending on the month I would have been 15. That is insane. No, but I would have been 14. You would have been 14. As I say, you'd be 21 today. Right, no. I don't even know. It's just crazy. It's been a development so long. Zelda we use all we knew it as until E3 2014 I believe. And then it was supposed to release 2015. Oh no, it's coming next year. 2016. Not enough, it's coming in March or next year. I still can't believe it's even coming out because it just keeps getting delayed. I just keep waiting for them to come out next week and just be like, you know what guys? Sorry, we didn't produce enough switch units. We got to push everything back to summer and then. Oh sorry, we're going holiday. And then it's like, oh man, we found a fatal flaw. So we got to remake all the switches. So now we're looking at 2018. Poor guys camping out in Nintendo New York right now. Oh those review copies, everyone send them back. Something interesting. You never played them. Someone said or I was listening to a different podcast and they were talking about how they think that the Nintendo switch, the reason that Nintendo didn't announce too much for it like whether it would have Netflix, YouTube, all these other apps that come. It's common sense to have them on consoles now but we don't necessarily know when the switch is going to get them. And they were talking about how were they delayed Breath of the Wild for so long so they could have the dual release on the switch and the Wii U instead of just letting it die out on the Wii U which a lot of people thought would happen. They rushed the switch for the launch of Breath of the Wild is what they were kind of talking about because they said if Breath of the Wild would have just launched on the Wii U and not the switch, then the switch would have came out later this year and had Mario and all of these other features and all of these other games but instead they're having to release the switch and then you'll get your lineup of games and your different Netflix, Hulu features and all of that. Either way, I'm glad the switch is coming out when it is because I would hate to see it release the same game Scorpio does. And the thing is it's a totally different thing than what Scorpio is and it doesn't affect sales at all but you can't tell me that video game media wouldn't basically overlook the switch. They would compare it somehow.  You're not going to see Nintendo except for like a footnote. Or a little switch views at 7.8 too much technology. Too much technology.  That's the thing too. It feels weird right now because I just put the game stop and paid off some stuff I go to Walmart all the time. I go to the stores a lot because I have kids and you always need something. I'm sure Jesse can relate a little bit so as I'm in these stores that have like electronic sections there are ads and all this stuff up for the switch that I don't know that would actually be there if it had to have the Scorpio ads in this winter. The sections would still be there. Game stop would still have a switch section. It just might be even smaller with less. It feels weird. When you go up to the game stop today literally they have four front-facing windows. Three of those windows are advertising switch. One is advertising Horizon that comes out. That's never happened at my game stop. They've never been that much Nintendo advertising before. Obviously Nintendo paid for it and is really pushing it. Microsoft is going to be pushing it at Hardcore too and then you got Nintendo and Microsoft pushing at the same time. And then just the other day there was the patents that came out where PlayStation had a similar patent to what the switch is but it's not their hybrid console it's just their handheld and likely it'll be more powerful than what the switch is which Nintendo it was supposed to be the next beta. It looks so ugly. Whether or not it ever comes out it sounded like Sony based on comments from their CEO it sounds like they're kind of done trying to make handhelds but like that's what their next handheld was supposed to be before they canned Vita and are kind of running away from it as far as we're aware. Who knows we could hit next year and then another you know PS Vita is really cool though not for well some of the video games are cool but I really like the remote play which I like the OLED screens man they're so expensive but man if a switch could have an OLED screen I mean the screen it has apparently is really nice but if it was OLED oh my god of course then we're talking about like a $400 system so so getting into the last topic that we had submitted about in a while no it's it's totally fine this is exciting times we have here we have a new Nintendo console coming out guys yeah it's crazy so if Breath of the Wild this comes from Evan Marino does reunite the timelines it's a popular theory out there won't it immediately split the timeline again because of the alternate endings how the heck will they handle this and then he also has a second topic where we can talk about the history of the Koroks so timeline goodness any thoughts when people bring that up at first I thought yeah that's interesting it has the temple of time which looks like it was plucked out of Ocarina of Time it has Hyrule Castle Town looking like it was plucked out of Twilight Princess it has the Koroks, the Deku Tree or whatever looking like it was plucked out of Wind Waker so it made sense it has elements from all of these Zelda games but then and Calamity Ganon where Ganon comes from the temple of time I forgot what you interviewed I've watched so many with Alnum and Miyamoto and a lot of them just give the same answers to the same questions but there was he said that something along the lines of although the art style and certain assets like the Koroks are from the Wind Waker the story itself doesn't relate to the Wind Waker so that immediately tells me that it could take place so long after Wind Waker or not necessarily before Wind Waker because there's not that much time difference but it could take place so far away from the Wind Waker that the story itself has no relation to the Wind Waker but I take it as it's not in that timeline at all and then he also follows it up with it takes place in a time where Hyrule has had many battles with Ganon so that puts it at the end of the child timeline so after Twilight Princess and Four Swords Adventure or somewhere in the middle where towards the end of the downfall timeline and it can't necessarily be a connection of all three because if it did connect all three then it would link back to Wind Waker where he said it doesn't see I took those comments differently obviously he's vague so everything ends up up for interpretation so he's made that comment all the time and he also made a comment about I think it was in the interview with Game Informer where he also said like I'm not going to tell you where this game takes place in the timeline but as you play it its placement will become clear so it's not going to be a game that leads us hanging at the end of the game we're going to know where it goes that's at least what he's telling us because a lot of times you know you play as all the game at least in the past you don't necessarily know where it goes unless you told you but that's not going to be the case with this game so when he made that comment about Wind Waker I viewed it as what he was trying to say is that this game isn't directly related to Wind Waker like this isn't the game that explains the flood and this isn't the game that takes place after Spirit Tracks per se in terms of continuing any Wind Waker-esque story which to me means it doesn't necessarily take place on that timeline but it doesn't get rid of the fact it could still be a unified timeline game because then it doesn't take place at any timeline so it's not really directly related to any of the games instead it's more of a culmination of all the games so it would be incorrect to say because of Koroks it's related to Wind Waker or because of the Temple of Time it's related to Ocarina of Time it would be more correct to say because of all of these elements it's related to the entire series and how it approaches everything explains how that's possible which again gets into like the Dragon Break Theory which was posted up by on the Nintendo Prime channel by our very own Mr. Daniel um I mean it's a very the thing is like the United Timeline isn't a new theory but how he approached it with Dragon Break was very smart so if you haven't seen that I'll put a link down in the description you guys should really check out that Dragon Break Theory Dragon Break I can't even begin to explain it as well as he did yeah it's Elder Scrolls reference because Elder Scrolls has multiple endings in many of the games and yet everything seems to continue on a continuous timeline and the Dragon Break Theory explains why that's possible to put it simply I believe the video explains the Elder Scrolls had a game where it had alternative endings and it kind of really screwed up the timeline so in a following game they just converged all of the alternate timelines taking pieces from each one so very simple premise yep and this is important to consider when we're talking about Breath of the Lab because Evan Marino says if Breath of the Lab does United Timeline so under the presumption that it does that isn't it going to split it right away and the same logic in the Dragon Break Theory that can be used to explain why Breath of the Lab can unite the timeline but also explain why it having multiple endings doesn't matter and that's because the Dragon Break Theory essentially is about no matter where you end up everything converges to the same thing so whether I decided this morning to put pants on or I decided to wear shorts no matter what either decision ends up in the same spot at the end of the day and that's kind of the bare bones basics behind the Dragon Break Theory no matter how the game ended like in Spirit Tracks if you did it one way you ended being a conductor on the train if you did it another way like Prince of Zelda in the castle but no matter what way you went the events that happened after that still happened the same way so that's kind of the basis of it and that's what would happen with Breath of the Wild where if it brought everything together that's an easy way to explain it and having them alternate endings it could still be explained simply with another Dragon Break where it doesn't matter where you end because whatever happens next happens there will be a lot of Majora's Mask if you help out as many people as you can or if you help out as few people as you can whenever you defeat or defeat Majora and you save the world either way the moon's not going to fall everybody's basically saved so you still get a similar outcome yeah I mean that thing is that doesn't mean there's not individual impact on different characters like obviously you know what happens and stuff but overall it doesn't impact where everything goes at the end of the day Link still stops the moon he still goes back to Hyrule still has kids and Twilight Princess still happens that's kind of the premise behind a Dragon Break and that's why games have multiple endings doesn't necessarily mean anything in terms of the future at least that's what they used for Skyrim and Oblivion and all that stuff that's kind of I guess the explanation I would believe if this game does reunite the timelines which ignoring all evidence that points to whether it does or not I think needs to happen anyways because the timeline is too convoluted and I think it really restricts them and I think Breath of the Wild offers a unique opportunity for them to wipe the slate and bring the whole series together and set what they want to do moving forward in the future rather than being like we're only wiping the slate in a single timeline um I think it would be smart for them to reunite the timeline but whatever Nintendo could do what they want as I said they pulled the downfall timeline out of their butts so who knows what they're doing here because like and I know some people might like the downfall timeline maybe the excuse for it is silly because that excuse exists with every game Link fail okay well he could fail in any game so it's just anyways um plus then it brings a whole multiverse theory in and then really there isn't three splits there's an infinite amount we just haven't played the games and the splits yet um anyways timeline theories man they really bugged me ever since they introduced that third split but it was just two it just made a lot more sense to me anyways so one last thing I wanted to talk about and maybe this is our dear old Mason talking a bit more yeah because you know it's no surprise a lot of fans of Nintendo Prime probably love Zelda so they really wanted us to get some in depth on some particulars that it's just like the topics are like from older games that I haven't really had a chance to try out yet yeah no no it just listening in though is informative enough that's what's cool that's why I like having you on here because like one you get informed right and two when you do talk you kind of provide a different perspective because I would say Jesse and I are veterans of the series and you're new work to the series from the way we're introduced to you the old young in days that's just crazy I'd like to say there was a time I was new to the series but the time I was new to the series was back at 8 my first Zelda game was linked to the past which I know there's a lot of people like one of my old bosses at GameStop said he was already basically an adult whenever the first Zelda game came out and then for me whenever I was a child getting introduced to the series it was linked to the past in Twilight Princess which with you came you know while you were probably becoming an adult not really sure how old you are but for me it's always crazy whenever I hear other people saying like Twilight Princess or Spirit Tracks was their first Zelda game because to me it's like that didn't come until I was already like addicted to the franchise and had like several games and but yeah yeah so the topic I want to bring up um it has to do with Breath of the Wild I mean it only feels appropriate we end talking about Breath of the Wild on this first episode since that is the game coming up in fact don't be surprised folks of in the future a lot of the next 10 or so Zelda increase episodes are a lot of Breath of the Wild because um there's a new Zelda game coming out don't know if you heard about it um it's kind of a big deal kind of a big deal um what what I want to know is like what are like what's the what are you hoping to get out of Breath of the Wild like what is what are the when you play this game what do you want your take away to be at the end and we'll start with Mason since he hasn't had a lot to say okay see I feel like with this game they are going on a very different approach uh as to other Zelda games because if you take a look at how massive this world is to start out this world is 12 times larger than that of Twilight Princess and that is something that blew a lot of people's minds including my own because at the time I had just gotten Twilight Princess HD for Wii U and I'm like wow you know I thought this was kind of a big world but no what they explored at E3 uh during the Treehouse streams were only less than 2% of the entire world which was insane considering they did a good 8 or 9 hours that they are showing off the game and it's crazy to think that there's that much to do almost and I don't want it to feel like it's going to be empty in any way I like no the whole nature aspect I feel like is what they're shooting for because exploration is kind of what the whole theme of it is I feel like uh just going around looking at everything of duh but then like you just have so many things that are like nature-esque you know they're just so much going on in the world everything is so alive and free you know you have horses running through the wild you have you know all this stuff and it's great to be able to think that maybe you'd be able to just you know run loose and let you know let yourself go and just do whatever and explore and I mean I feel like out of anything that would be the biggest key factor in Nintendo shooting for because as a it's the breath of the wild you know you gotta go explore outdoors and it's just weird to think about how I don't know hardly about the timeline situation and stuff but for people that do to watch all of it come together throughout the game it's going to be very interesting just taking away like the rustic look of the temple of time and everything going on and it's it's a very cool thing to think about just in terms of the exploration factor but as a story itself they've been talking about how you know it's going to be much more in depth it's going to have a lot more emotion considering voice acting is the thing now and I feel like it's going to be more of like a movie that you're a part of in a way you know I just think overall it's going to be a massive like take you in kind of experience that's what I'm hoping for so nice for me personally I want breath of the wild to be that game for Nintendo that brings them back to the mainstream audience like obviously a lot of people think of Metroid or Star Fox to be the hardcore Nintendo fan games but I hope this is the game that all of the people that are now in love with games like the upcoming horizon zero dawn or Uncharted 4 on the PlayStation 4 or the people that are playing all of the Xbox exclusives I hope this is the game that they look at and in the past they may have looked at like Super Mario 3D world or Mario Kart Pikmin and been like well those aren't necessarily the games that I want to play I hope breath of the wild is the game that kind of reaches out of the inclusive Nintendo bubble that seems like it's been shrinking and shrinking over the years and kind of reach into all of the other gamers and bring them in that way if Nintendo sees oh we went all out on this Zelda game if it fails maybe we should kind of hold back and do something smaller for the next one but if it does really well maybe they'll look at it and be like okay well how can we we've evolved the series this much and it did really great do we release another one and kind of double up on that or do we try to change it even further and create something even bigger even better for the next Zelda game so I hope it does that just kind of being a mainstream success for me I know it's going to be awesome it's from what I've seen of it it's likely going to be automatically one of my favorite Zelda games unless the story somehow just turns out to be really really bad which is doubtful but I just hope as I was saying it reaches out and pulls in people that wouldn't necessarily sit down and play an Nintendo game and bring them into the Zelda fanbase yeah that's uh you guys both touch on some interesting stuff I all I really hope out of this game outside of you know the obvious that I hope it's the best Zelda game ever I don't really care about fishing am I the only Zelda fan that doesn't care about fishing about fishing I don't care about it like anyone think it was weird that like so you had fishing in Ocarina of Time you had it in Twilight Princess they added it in Majora's Mist 3D they kind of had it in Wind Waker why wasn't it in Wind Waker in Ocarina of Time I didn't really care for it in Twilight Princess which is odd because you could basically fish anywhere there was water in that game but whenever maybe it was just that I was a kid when I was playing it like 11 12 year old or however old I was maybe it was just that and you know spending however long you could with your friend making like a meta game out of it who can catch the biggest fish yeah who can catch the biggest yeah it I don't know I've just never been into fishing to be honest and then like the only game I think I might have been into it would have been Wind Waker when I literally spent the whole game in a boat and I don't get to fish I get to find treasure chest but that's not if while you was on the boat if you could just throw out a large fish net and bring in a huge bag yeah like oh I could throw a bait so a fish pops up that I can't catch who cares I got tingle for that oh my gosh anyways uh no I I just really I did this such a hard to follow up after those comments um it outside of the obvious that I hope this is the best out of the game ever released because I think it has the potential I think any other game that releases has the potential um some of higher potential than others like of course heroes had the potential to be the best but it was a pretty low potential because of how different from the series it was in terms of multiple aspects but then you have Breath of the Wild which takes everything tradition is all it does turns it on its head and does even more of it like it goes old school and new school all at the same time and I have I have some concerns with this approach especially since and I know it feels weird but because horizon releases so close to it um literally within days like it almost might put unfair expectations on Breath of the Wild but at the same point Breath of the Wild all it needs to do to me is do enough uh in terms of gaining critical praise in terms of gaining sales that it becomes what Nintendo chooses to explore with Zelda in the future um as an example I don't think Ocarina of Time is the best Zelda game out there in fact it's like in my bottom third of all the games you just got 50 dislikes it's okay I don't really times these people on the channel have heard it if they've been following us for a while but my point is saying that is even though that is how I personally feel I still recognize it as the last game to release that set the standards for what Zelda would be moving forward there hasn't been a new game that has done that since Skyward Sword tried to do that obviously failed um so I'm hoping that that's what this game does that like how it approaches things is just how Zelda is going to be I want to be like it introduced this physics engine every Zelda game moving forward is going to have this physics engine um it set an open world setting every Zelda game for say the next decade or so is going to be open world um which at the rate they release all the games that only means one game cause one every six years but you know what I mean um maybe two maybe they can finally get it down to just five years I remember after Skyward Sword Aonimo's interviewed saying he would like to bring the development time for home console Zelda games to around three years and he can argue he's about to pull that off cause he just stated in an interview he released a 2D Zelda game on the switch and so the switch is a home console that's a home console game I can see them pulling that excuse out even though that's not what he meant he's going to say that's what he meant see it's a 2D home console game he never said it had to be 2D or 3D um anyways so I just think it needs to be that game what it needs to do to become that game I don't know obviously it has to have critical reception and it has to sell really really well ideally I would like it to be the best selling game in franchise history this was probably made up or something I don't know but I've seen someone had posted something saying that Breath of the Wild needed to sell two million copies to break even yep and it will and the only way I could for starters there hasn't been a console Zelda game that's ever sold less than two million I think even for starters the venture sold over two million if I remember right and that's a game that clearly didn't need to sell two million to be profitable and that's not saying like that's nothing to get for sort of ventures it just isn't that kind of game that's really expensive to make but you know you look at just switch sales alone who is buying a switch in March those first two million and not buying itself before it Bomberman well I dude I'm actually excited for one to switch I hold this pre-order today I keep bagging my Nintendo rep to get it for free so I don't have to pre-order because I do think it's too expensive but I don't know because I guess I haven't played it so maybe it's not too expensive I don't know but that's my personal viewpoint until reviews come out now if reviews come out and they tell me differently I'll go out and I'll I'll get it on day one because it is a game I'm highly interested in because I really want to try out all those HD rumble features and I know that might sound like a cop out like I really really want to try out these HD rumble features I've heard they're amazing if I don't have one I don't have one to switch I can't do that plus I think plus I think one to switch would look hilarious live streaming so there is entertainment factor to it as well plus just getting in a milking competition with my best friend would just be awesome so I have other reasons so I I literally almost purchased it today I know I'm going to probably end up giving in but I'm trying to resist trying to resist because I don't actually want it that bad I'd almost rather pick a bomber man but anyways I want all the Switch launch games to be clear finances priorities I need to spend like $500 on Breath of the Wild first because I got the special edition plus the collector's guide plus all the Amiibo I probably spent more on just Breath of the Wild than I spent on the action I got jealous seeing IGN and all the other people sharing their huge boxes of like 5 different Amiibo Breath of the Wild I technically still work at Zelda Informer where is my big box of goodies not coming that's where anyways no so it's it just needs to be that game that game that sets the standard for Zelda moving forward and that's something I'll always give Ocarina of Time credit for at least partial credit I think a link to the past set up the formula but I think Ocarina of Time solidified it in the 3D space so those two games in conjunction kind of set up what Zelda has been ever since and that's what I hope Breath of the Wild does and I think it's going to take it doesn't need to take highest rated game of all time like Ocarina of Time is but it does need to take a game that scores really really well but most importantly sells it really well and I'm talking like Twilight Princess I think is the best sales on a single platform I remember right when I read it I know it was best combined sales but I don't know if it was best single sales yeah I don't know if it actually beat Ocarina of Time had the record for the most pre-orders for single console oh yes yes it did so obviously I hope it does that after the year I'm hoping that it tops those games which means it has to sell anywhere between 8 and 10 million units I would love to see it sell over 10 just because to me once you hit that 10 million unit mark that's when you've hit massive critical success in terms of sales like that's when you can start talking about being compared to Red Dead Redemption and Call of Duty and all those other games that sell tens of millions of copies Zelda has never been that it's always been we sell our 4 to 6 and that's we're done with it unless it's a high and low game and then it usually sells between 2 to 3 or 1 to 2 depending on the kind of game it is like I think Triforce Heroes only sell just over a million so oh I love Triforce Heroes but yeah it's one of those things that it just needs to be a massive sales success with a decent enough critical reception like a 9 out of 10 um and that's all I'm really hoping to get out of it like emotionally I want a lot more there's a lot of story stuff I want out of it um there's a lot of expectations I'm putting out of the game that probably it can never live up to but as long as it sets up the future of the series I will be happy um because that's what this game is doing is what I want the future of Zelda to be I want this not to be the last open worlds of the game I want it to be like Skyward Sword where it's a one and done I want it there to be more of this I want this physics engine to just be standard like never go away even a 2D game find a way to put it in there I don't know this physics engine is amazing they said that they've invested so much time and resources into the engine of Breath of the Wild that they wanted to reuse it for other games outside of the Zelda series and at first look and that's fine I just care about the Zelda series I thought it was the same engine they used with the new Mario game because that seems like it's going to be a new open world Mario game too so for them to reuse they don't have to reuse everything maybe yeah I haven't seen a lot of physics in there yet but that's not something that they've done that before like Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 reused the same engine so yeah yeah I just hope to see more games like it I like what they're doing with the breakable items I don't know if that's going to be a one and done idea they've explored it before and now they're going all out with it I like it we'll see if I like it over the full course of the game I like the equipment system I like a lot of the RPG elements that's stuff I'd like to see continued but the big two takeaways is I want future Zelda games to be open world and I want future Zelda games to have that physics engine and if that happens that means Breath of the Wild is a standard so that's what I'm hoping for we'll see we have no idea Breath of the Wild has me it is the most hyped for a game I've ever been in my life and it was the only Nintendo game shown off I spent like 3 grand to go to E3 and that's all I did I just kept getting back in line for Zelda that's why I have so many coins and t-shirts because that's all I wanted to do is play Zelda I wanted to try Horizon I wanted to try out these other things but no I need more Zelda I played that demo once and I'm like it's done didn't you say they gave you an extended demo though one at a time yes what happened was when I went up to the booth tour usually for their booth tours you would actually tour the booth and then you're taken to a VIP area so basically it's a way to guarantee you play the game without waiting in line that's kind of the idea and I literally said look I've been inside this booth for 3 straight days I just want to play more Zelda and the guy's like sweet I'll take you up to the area you probably have time to go through that demo a few times have fun and that's what I did unfortunately the booth tour means you don't get the t-shirt so I have like one more coin than I do t-shirts it's okay I'm like really I guess the t-shirts you're rewarded for waiting in line how are these the same coins that they're getting out with the collectors edition of breath of the wild yeah the exact same coins that's why I'm like even though I'm going to unbox it I think I'm going to end up giving away a coin I've been we need to for a while Mason actually at one point offered to buy one from me yeah those are the days now we both have our own yeah and I'm like maybe I'm like I know now it's like just as I was thinking the other day I'm like oh man you know maybe I should get rid of some of these coins well now the prices are all tanking right because they come with all the collectors editions as it's like I lost all of my chance to get maximum value it's okay I mean you guys can't see right now showing on camera you know that I have these coins it wasn't until like a month or two after I got them that I realized the cases actually open up oh yeah you didn't know that and you can take the coin out I had no idea so are the ones for like the Nintendo New York launch or they have the ones for the year Luigi does the same thing or the smash coins from the best buy event yeah I had no idea these things opened like I saw the Nintendo sticker but I'm like these look like permanent sealed and things like why would you open it what are you going to do with it so I'm like there's no way this thing opens I don't have to open it try to get a nice a nice view here of what the coins going to look like and it's like I guess I could prove I have all these coins I always talk about it but no one ever sees them like literally I'm the only person that ever sees all these coins so like here's the four that are opened here's my sealed never opened coin that I don't know why because if you look closely you probably can't tell on the camera the case on this one's actually cracked and it was cracked when I got it so it's not technically mint condition so I'm hoping that the one that comes with the collector's edition is sealed but yeah I don't need all these coins my original goal was I have in my background I have the Zelda Yahtzee thing I wanted to take the chest out of it and fill it with Breath of the Loud Coins but I realized that I do not have enough of them to do that and it's too expensive for me to get enough of them so at some point folks folks if you guys ask I might be willing to give away some of these coins because they're cool I can't give away the t-shirts I've worn all of them and even though you guys might still want them to be t-shirts wear out you could do the thing coins like whoever asks the most interesting question for the next exactly and since we're at the end of Zelda inquiries for this week the inaugural episode I just do want to remind you guys if you have any questions or any topics you would like us to talk about please submit them down in the comments below of course I want to say a big thank you to Jesse and Mason you guys can right here at the end of this little thing of magic at the end of this video I will throw up links to your guys's youtube channels do you guys have any particular videos you want to throw a little shout out yet you go first Jesse the most interesting video that I've done lately is a video of what I think is next for the Zelda series usually lately I've been covering news and stuff that's going to get dated but I think that video in particular is the one that's going
