Quick correction regarding the Patreon/Member shoutout at the end. There are TWO Mike's (Miky and Mikey) and I accidentally mistook one for the other haha. So my apologies to Mikey with an "e". He is in fact not my cousin, but appreciated nonetheless ;)<br>Have a good week everyone! ^^

Hey, just an idea but I was playing Skyward Sword and realize that the dragon giving the Hylian Shield to link was a really big deal because it was a gift from the dragon to the hero. Then, it got me thinking about the Hylian shield in Ocarina of Time. Then I thought, what if the grave in the cemetery where you find the shield is actually the grave of the hero of the Skies. It would make sense because of course he would have a place among the Royal Family in the cemetery.

Dude, your content is so professionally done. Have you done any official documentary work? Every time I watch one of your history lessons/documentaries on BotW, I'm just blown away by the quality of it! You're awesome 🙂

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O2NaFWDEa0&t=992">16:32</a> Saki (Teba's wife) does say that "Revali's Landing is a memorial for the Rito Champion, Revali..." Even though it already existed before The Calamity they probably changed the name afterwards to honor him.

Heh its funny. Hylians are compared to elves for their ears, but Zora's seem to be effectively biologically immortal and are always the most reclusive of the races. Zora's are the Elves of the Zeldaverse.

I'd suspect the Gerudo would have also had a big slump after the calamity, with their primary trade partner gone along with the men that came with it its likely they too would've undergone a population decline following the calamity.

Rito Elders: Read of Revali and his unmatched skill… you must always strive to match him, for even failing to do so, you will find that each day you are better than you were the day before.<br><br>Aspiring Warrior: And we should strive to match the quality of his character as well?<br><br>Rito Elders: Please don’t.

About the “Era of Burning Fields” it's likely a reference to the loss of farmland rather than the creation of it. As you mentioned, before the calamity Hateno would have largely relied on trade. Both Kakariko and Hateno are small villages either on or surrounded by hills and Lurelin is a fishing village surrounded by cliffs. None of these would have been big agricultural producers. Hyrule field was likely where most agriculture took place. “Age of Burning Fields” doesn't sound like something related to rebuilding or recovery. It's probably not only referencing the literal fires that would have taken place in the few days following the calamity, but also the loss of farmland that would have directly impacted people's lives for years to come what with food shortages etc

I stated this elsewhere, but I feel the need to point out that the Zora were very used to Mipha serving as a healer, and apparently having the ability to manipulate water even on her own.<br><br>Meaning that, while they likely didn't fight as a <i>organized force</i> in the Calamity, they still would have had fatalities to it. Not only to those outside the Domain at the time, but quite possibly to the Divine Beast itself since we don't know for certain that the DB weren't influenced to dangerous behavior by the Blights.<br><br>However, it's quite likely they had been expecting Mipha to be alive and well to heal them both in the immediate aftermath and the long term after the tragedy. <br><br>Meaning that they would have likely looked at <b>every</b> future loss- whether by accident, monster, infection, plague, or something else- as, "If Princess Mipha had been here, this wouldn't have happened." Notably, there <b>is</b> a strange gap in the age curve of the Zora population. There's a lot of Elders, some Zora who are in their 100's- though not what you'd expect- and a <b>lot</b> of children. But there's a gap where you'd expect there to be several more Zora in their mid-50's and thereabouts. So it's quite possible that the Zora did experience more loss, but just saw Mipha's death as the main cause of those losses.<br><br>Particularly as we have little reason to think that the Zora population was untouched by <b>all</b> tragedy during this time- they have guards, they have watch towers, and they have obviously lost Zora to sudden floods before, for them to know of the risk.<br><br>It'd be like if someone- way back in the day when you couldn't just drive on a highway to the next town with a hospital- rode into town, shot the doctor and burned down the clinic, then rode off. You wouldn't be <i>absolutely certain</i> that your son wouldn't have died of infection, your wife wouldn't have died of childbirth, or your husband died of pneumonia if they hadn't killed the doctor... but you'd probably <b>FEEL</b> very certain that they wouldn't have died. <br><br>It isn't an excuse, but it may provide more context that some people may not have thought of.

It's definitely fair to think those that couldn't make it to Kakariko or Hateno had to make their last hike to the Citadel. <br><br>Due to how different age is to the Zora tribe, it makes sense that many were still angry and grieving when Link woke up. It was a fresh wound.<br><br>I can't even imagine how the Sheikah felt knowing their technology was the cause of Hyrule's downfall.<br><br>The Goron and the Gerudo are a hardy bunch. They clearly had their time of grieving then focused on building their kingdoms, sharpening their skills and moving forward.<br><br>I don't know enough about BotW's Rito culture to comment, but they seem to be doing alright, if not a little isolated and quiet.<br><br>Just thought I'd share my thoughts, maybe start a discussion or somethin'
