This may be a commonly accepted idea, or maybe completely stupid and pointless, so I apologize in advance if this thread's a waste of time.

Anyway, I was reading the script of TP today (like a book, I'm such a geek), and this quote that I've read countless times in-game stuck out at me:

Ashei - "I grew up in the mountains with my father, who was a knight in his own right. He taught me the arts of war as though I was his son."

Normally I'd skip on through this without giving it a thought, but by reading through the script like this I've come to notice a lot of what seems like pointless conversation actually has some deeper meaning in Zelda games.

When I thought of what the point of this could possibly be, it smacked me in the face like a ton of hand bricks.

It's like a perfect explanation for Snowpeak Mansion in its entirety. How did these giant beasts get such a snazzy house all to themselves (even Midna mentions this)? Why was it filled with all kinds of medieval weapons?

The answer is simple, they belonged to Ashei's father, a war-obsessed knight dude. Ashei left home and the mansion became vacant for unknown reasons (fear of the living suit of armor perhaps), then it started breaking down and the yetis moved in.

Perhaps all the paintings lying around support this theory, I can't check until tomorrow.


Yeah, I know trying to give explanations for the mansion makes it less funny and ridiculous, but I couldn't help myself.



Edit: This part was previously a joke that people didn't know how to not take seriously, so it's gone now. Note to self: Zelda is serious business.
