Something interesting I realized about Lost Gorondia (AKA a random theory about Goron history with literally zero evidence to back it up)

Massive spoilers for Tears of the Kingdom

While it is true that none of the temples look like Temples at all, that’s usually because they focus on looking more like Dungeons in a video game. Unlike the Fire Temple, which, considering there are Minecart tracks you ride all over the place and rooms that seemingly serve no purpose but to house pottery and old abandoned Chests, as well as the name “Lost Gorondia Rediscovered”, I think it’s pretty likely that this is actually where the Gorons of Ancient Hyrule used to live

Gorons are almost all miners, and all would be miners if there weren’t a need for a few of them to stay back and run other important businesses, so it makes sense that the Gorons would live in the Depths. And furthermore that during the creation of Calamity Ganon when the Miasma (Gloom, Malice, whatever floats your boat) begins to spread through the Depths, they would abandon it because Gloom Bad

Where would they have come out of if they managed to dig their way out of the Depths?

I ‘unno

And the Gorons are described by the Sage of Fire as “the Goron people”, which doesn’t sound like something you’d call the inhabitants of a city. He does use more modern-sounding phrases like “Little rock” too, but considering Gorons may as well be living rocks that’s probably just the way it sounds to us as humans that don’t live in Hyrule

Genuine question: how does the Royal Family line continue from the King of Light? I’m legit serious. Sonia dies in TotK. We don’t see or hear of her and Rauru having any children. How is Zelda related to Sonia and Rauru if Sonia died before she could have children? 

You could say that Zelda is the descendant of a family member of Sonia, a cousin, aunt or uncle etc who also inherited time powers. But Zelda is royalty, she’s the princess of Hyrule and has inherited both time and light powers. Rauru was the ruling King and we know Sonia to only have been ‘Queen consort’ since Ganondorf stated in a cutscene that Rauru took “a Hylian woman” to be his wife. Any legitimate heirs to the kingdom would have be related to him, not Sonia. 

When Sonia said she sensed a blood connection I’m sure she meant to include her husband. So...did...did he marry one of Sonia’s relatives after her death? Or...did Mineru marry a relative of Sonia? 

Am I missing something or is this an actual plot-hole? Because that’s the only way Zelda can be related to both.

I can’t believe I’m gonna Thanos-snap Gannondorf

Secret stones are 100% moon tears though, can we just-

Yeah.

WAIT SO DOES THAT MEAN

IF THE THING IS WHAT HAPPENED HOWEVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO WHICH I’M JUST GUESSING AT

DOES THAT MEAN THE REASON THERE’S NO MALE GERUDO IN BOTW IS BECAUSE GANONDORF IS UNDER THE CASTLE?!?

TOTK SPOILERS & SPECULATION....

So, I'm far enough in the game that Tulin is now the Sage of Wind, and I have found a few of the memories.

There are six sages from each race (wind, water, fire (?), and lightning) and then Mineru (sage of shadow? I haven't found the memory in which we meet her) and Sonia, until she passes (🥺😔). The modern equivalents are Tulin, Sidon, Riju, Yunobo (?) and then I'm guessing Paya and then Zelda. Link, the Hero, is in the center in Rauru's (the King (!) Of Light) place to stand opposite the Demon King, Ganondorf.

My question is, where are the Hero and Master Sword? The incarnation of Demise's hatred is there. The Goddess-blood royal is there. Where is the third piece of the Triforce??? Is Rauru the Hero because Sonia is the Goddess-blood princess/queen, and they are working together? (And together-together. Gotta love those zelink parallels)

Also, oh my gosh, Zelda, sweetheart, "forever changed" with the heavy implications of turning into a DRAGON?? There's got to be a way for her to turn back, right?? (The Recall power, maybe?)

something I realized just now

[theloudlyhappy]

broooooooo I just realized

the zonai must've had clocks right?

or do the godex experience time all at once and so their given powers show that in the ticking of a clock?

is it that the ticking is simply what we as human players believe to be a clock as we associate ticking with time and the ticks are simply an unassociated sound chosen by the godex who controls time because they enjoy it?

does the ticking sound even occur in that world? is it only a figment of the game to help players, but does not actually occur?

I want to know!

why is there a ticking when the time power is used?

if anyone, who chose that noise?

do clocks exist all the way back with the zonai?

sure, they're possible, but not guaranteed!
