  Imagine that the reason why the Ancient Sea dried up is because Link killed Tentalus in the past who brought the rain with it.

  Tantalus&apos;s punishment is actually worse than what you described.<br>The apple and water would rise and lower respectively when he reached for one or the other. It wasn&apos;t just simply out of reach. So if he reached for the apple, the apple would rise out of reach and the water would rise as well. As he turned to drink, the water would lower and so would the apple.

  The theory about Demise and Hylia at the end was beautifully worded. Honestly &nbsp;it&apos;s even more heartbreaking that Demise&apos;s angry and hatred would continue for eons, dooming any incarnation of him to be destined for the same fate he suffered. Makes me even more excited to see what Tears of the Kingdom has in stored.

  I really wish that the final boss of the sandship had been... Scervo the mutinous pirate again. However this time he&apos;s in his prime and isn&apos;t a couple thousand years old, explaining why he&apos;s tougher and fights differently. At the end of the fight he wouldn&apos;t die, he can&apos;t because you kill him in the future, but you do get him off the ship somehow. They could even have him say something like &quot;I never thought to see you again&quot; when you fight him the &quot;first&quot; time and kill him as a miniboss.

  This description of evil stemming from negative emotions of one&apos;s past, sounds allot like Wind Waker&apos;s Ganondorf, who speaks of a similar sense in the end of the game. I forget what was his actual words, but he seemed to be feeling a great feeling of loss of what happened when the goddesses made the decision to flood the world, since their fated hero, Link, was completely removed from the timeline after Ocarina of Time. It&apos;s technically all Princess Zelda&apos;s fault why the &quot;Adult Timeline&quot; lacked the actual Link who had reincarnated in times of Hyrule&apos;s need time and time again. And because of that, so many lives were lost because of the goddesses flooding Hyrule. The only reason we have a Link in the Adult Timeline at all after Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, is because the goddesses saw great potential in the Link from Wind Waker, and used his spirit as a substitute for the actual hero&apos;s spirit who originated in Skyward Sword. Wind Waker Link was not a reincarnation of Skyward Sword Link, he was merely an ordinary kid who just happened to have the same name of the hero of legend that always came in Hyrule hour of need of a hero, and just happened to become someone to save Hyrule after he needed to rescue his sister. And speaking of Link having siblings, you know how no other Zelda game&apos;s incarnation of Link, is seen to have a sibling? I feel like Wind Waker Link&apos;s sister Aryll even existing, is proof he&apos;s not a reincarnation of the fated hero Link, as literally no other Link to this date is known to have any siblings except Wind Waker Link.

  in the Japanese version was even a mention of a Demon Tribe and a God Tribe and so on, and in Spirit Tracks we know of the Existance of a Demon Realm where Link and Zelda and their allies drove with the Train of the Spirits to confront Malladus, so maybe Demise might have originated from an interdimensional Hell or something

  Hey Bandit, just wanted say that I recently found you, Hyrule Gamer, NintendoBlackCrisis, and Zeltik; and I don&apos;t think I can ever express enough how grateful I am for all of the work you all have put into your channels. As someone who deals with severe anxiety and depression, knowing that I can just throw on one of your guys playlists to relax and listen to while I fall asleep has helped so much. I love the collaborative effort you guys have for this franchise, and I hope you know (and can maybe pass along to all of them) if anything, you&apos;ve helped this guy finally get a few calm nights sleep. Looking forward to many years of content 🧡

  I think it makes perfect sense for Demise to be the dark (perhaps even Lorulean) equivalent to Hylia for a few reasons.<br><br>1. Hylia is all but confirmed to be the Goddess of Time, whereas Demise is referred to as &quot;the one who conquered time itself&quot;. <br>2. Considering the Golden Goddesses also crafted the metaphysical laws of reality, there would need to be a deity or some manifestation of the concept of evil or darkness. On the surface, it might fall in line with Judeo-Christian concepts of the devil, but it might actually be inspired by the concept of &apos;heavenly/divine evil spirits&apos; that seek to contradict and upend the order of things as dictated by the kami in Shinto mythology. And we know the Zelda series has drawn inspiration from both (more the latter than the former since it IS a Japanese game franchise). <br>And 3. Thematically speaking, the notion that Demise fulfilled his own prophecy aligns with the story of his main successor: Ganondorf. By times of both Wind Waker and Twilight Princess in the timeline, Ganondorf shows that he&apos;s privy to the machinations of the gods, and carries out his goal accordingly. In the Adult Timeline, he explicitly blames the gods for destroying Hyrule as a response to his escape from the void, and only seeks to make them answer his call to resurrect the kingdom under his control. In the Child Timeline, he credits the gods for choosing him to be a wielder of power, leading him to believe he&apos;s the rightful ruler of light and shadow. Furthermore, he alludes to the idea of a neverending cycle in the expanded version of his dying monologue (which is retroactively confirmed with Demise&apos;s curse).

  Some more information about Demise and Ghirahim:<br><br>In the Japanese version Ghirahim calls himself the current demon tribe chieftain instead of Demon lord, demon tribe chief is one of Demise&apos;s titles so Ghirahim pretty much took over his Master&apos;s job during his absence.<br><br>Demise&apos;s hatred is the curse of the demon tribe.<br>He has a hatred towards the gods&apos; tribe(members of this tribe can&apos;t use the Triforce and some of it&apos;s members are guardian deities, Hylia and the Golden goddesses, this explains why certain godlike beings can use the Triforce because they aren&apos;t members of the Gods&apos; tribe). <br>His curse is not about him getting reincarnated in the future(&quot;I will rise again&quot; is something the localization added, &quot;this will happen again&quot; or &quot;this will be repeated&quot; or&quot; I shall repeat it&quot; are what he says in Japanese, while Demise bears a physical resemblance to Ganondorf there isn&apos;t anything in the text that implies that he is a literal reincarnation of Demise) and it&apos;s a bit more metaphorical: the wording of Demise&apos;s final words suggests that the curse existed long before his defeat, Demise explains that there will be people in the future who embody his hatred and grudge(the hatred is reincarnated but Demise has no influence or control over the &quot;reincarnations&quot; because he got sealed/sealed and decayed within the Master sword(Impa dies peacefully in the present after fullfilling her duty which could imply that Demise is fully dead)), they are incarnations, spiritual successors of Demise, they aren&apos;t born as incarnations but they become incarnations through their actions, feelings and desires as the Demise&apos;s hate is also the curse of the demon tribe) and that those who possess the soul of the hero and the blood of the goddess are bound to the curse(most likely due to their roles as protectors, because of Link, Hylia and Zelda&apos;s actions against Demise and the demon tribe they caused themselves and their successors to be bound to the curse. Demise himself doesn&apos;t seem to have cast a literal magical spell on them and the curse is rather on the demon tribe itself(the battle against the demon tribe will go on forever), Ganondorf in Wind waker was aware of a cycle between him, Link and Zelda and wanted to end it however the desire to end the cycle was also present in Ghirahim so it&apos;s only natural that evil want to end it because evil doesn&apos;t want to keep fighting obstacles between it and world domination or world destruction depending on the evil entity&apos;s state of mind). The curse and the hatred aren&apos;t sentient either despite what some people believe.

  Skyward Sword has been my favorite Zelda game of all time and I was pretty upset when I found out that people didn&apos;t like the game, or its motion controls. The motion controls and bosses were pretty good and the map worked very well in my opinion.

  Demise is a very tricky part of the lore to try and explain. I can see and understand why people would say he could be from lorule, but personally i just cant see how or why that would be the case. Lorule had its own triforce, and it wasnt demise that destroyed it but hilda&apos;s family. So if he&apos;s from the start of the lorulean timeline, it wouldnt make sense for him to go after the hyrulean triforce since he had his own (which he apparently just leaves behind?). On the other hand though, if he&apos;s from after they destroyed their triforce, i cant see how a god-like demon would originate in lorule, he&apos;s clearly not the lorule hero since that&apos;d be ravio, and also he&apos;s a god level demon king! From everything i can see, it just wouldnt make logical sense for him to come from lorule so i would probably dismiss the inverted triforce as &quot;i just wanna be opposite to hylia&quot;, but they were working on albw at the same time as SS... Very confusing<br><br>As for where he came from, if we dismiss lorule as an option then i can actually answer that! There is actually another realm mentioned throughout the zelda series called the &quot;dark realm&quot;. Now this ISNT the same as the dark world (as that&apos;s just a corrupted sacred realm). The dark realm is the origin of all demons, its the place you visit in spirit tracks and it kinda looks like an endless black ocean with a black hole for a sun. It&apos;d actually be more fitting to rename it the demon realm instead. It&apos;d make WAY more sense to say demise is like the hylia of the demon realm and thats where he came from<br><br>Now i still havnt figured out if the demon realm is supposed to be another layer on the main realm (like the sacred realm), or if its a separate realm altogether like lorule is to hyrule. Ie i cant figure out if lorule would have its own demon realm, or if all demons from all universes would come from the same demon realm. Though thinking about it, the fact demise invades through a crack suggests it is separate like lorule. Infact i actually have another theory to add onto this, you see the only other time the dark realm is mentioned is during the oracle games, its where twinrova summoned onox and veran from. So if it is its own separate realm, then it&apos;d be logical to say it has its own perhaps dark triforce. And i like to think thats the real origin of twinrova&apos;s dark rites ritual. So the demons could have the triforce pieces of destruction, sorrow and despair<br><br>Ohh and as for ghirahim, i&apos;ve got another very interesting theory on him as i believe i may have found where he went after SS. Further on in the timeline you learn about how ganon gets his signature trident of power from inside a large pyramid. A trident thats all black with a red gem, that some lines claim has an evil spirit inside it, and zelda herself calls it &quot;the sign of the ancient demon reborn&quot;. I believe that after SS and his master was gone, ghirahim transformed into the trident of power and went dormant until his master&apos;s curse kicked in and ganon claimed him
