Skyward Sword Speculation/Theory Thread (SPOILERS EXPECTED)

I know that it has pretty much been dismissed that one of the main baddies is Majora, but when you think about it, this could confirm the Twili being related to Majora speculation.

Maybe somehow instead of killing Majora, Link banishes him into a mask, and the rest of the Interlopers are banished to the twilight realm. And since the HMS is comfirmed to travel through realms, that could explain how the masks ends up in Termina. (this would dismiss a lot that the giants said about majora though)

The Mask was said to be created by the tribe themselves, so I doubt Majora existed as an entity beforehand.

True I forgot that.

If this is the earliest known Link and Zelda and if skyward sword is the origin story of hyrule and the royal family then couldn't it be theorized that this Zelda could be the sleeping Zelda from AoL that all princess's are named after. Assuming that you count the NES games as part of the timeline

It could be, but I really don't want that to be the case, because that would be boring, haha.

Besides, We haven't even seen anything to support that yet, for example no Prince to order a evil sorcerer to put Zelda to sleep.

True. But there is a ton of stuff we don't know. It could mean that SS isn't the first Zelda. Or the NES storylines dont matter. They should matter though. The story of the sleeping princess is the real "legend" of Zelda

I think when the developers mad AoL they were pulling things out of the nether region for the story, to have a excuse to make a insanely hard game.

But, I was thinking, and perhaps, Debbie could qualify as a evil sorcercer to put her to sleep.

i could definitely see that, anything is possible.

Yeah; it's why I feel we won't really see Ganon or Ganondorf. I don't see why Ghirahim couldn't be the final bad guy; he seems..well, creepy enough lol. Personally I wouldn't really want to see another Zant thing, where he was just a puppet the whole time. Give Ganon a rest

I bet the birds Link and Zelda ride on (in SS) explain the crest of Hyrule. It makes a lot more sense IMO
than a reference to the Oocca, since (I assume) this is how the people of Skyloft came down to
earth and founded Hyrule (via bird).

I also am wondering if the people of Skyloft used the Triforce there before they founded Hyrule
and used it there. Thus, the symbol of a bird with the Triforce head, could reference how the
Triforce came from Skyloft to Hyrule below.

Personally, I even wonder if Skyloft might be where the name Hyrule comes from, and if any
of the backstories we know actually took place up there.

If the sleeping Zelda legend holds true (that she is indeed the original Zelda), then perhaps
she was put to sleep in Skyloft, when the Triforce was kept there.

Perhaps the games set in a Triforce-less Hyrule (MC, FS, FSA) might be after Hyrule
was founded, but before the Triforce left Skyloft, so that the Triforce crest, at that time,
was merely a symbol of Skyloft, and not something that actually existed in the kingdom.

EDIT: Lord Ghirahim is decked out in Sheikah colors.
My first thought was that we were supposed to think of him as the new villain,
and the game would reveal him simply as a trainer/partner guy. If you remember,
the TP trailer, the Gorons were sparring with Link, but were not really enemies.
Ghirahim immediately makes you think of Vaati, he can't be the same, but is
doubtlessly similar for a reason.

i don't remember that,it's said it's been used by the ancient tribe,not created.
if not,show me a quote that justify it.

Since the Ganon in SS post got closed, I'm just going to say...

I really hope he isn't in this game. He's got so overused in many of the recent games, that he's become a joke (since let's face it, the more times a villain gets defeated, the lest intimidating they become) and he also has a nasty habit of hijacking the plot away from other promising villains (Zant, Veran and Onox are the three prime examples)

He needs to be retired for a few games, so when he finally appears again, instead of going "Oh. Ganon. Again." we go "HOLY **** IT'S GANON!"

Hijacked By Ganon - Television Tropes & Idioms

Honestly, I don't think the plot twist in TP was that Ganon was manipulating Zant, I think the plot twist was that Zant even existed. Admit it, until his face and name were revealed (both in the same cutscene), you thought he was Ganondorf, right? I did, at least.
Zant was the twist, not Ganon.

That said, Ganon in SS just wouldn't make sense. OoT is supposed to be his origin story.

OoT is the origin story of Ganondorf. There is no origin story for Pig/Beast Ganon until FSA, however. But FSA is after OoT.

Ganondorf and Ganon aren't any different than Link and Wolf Link, it is simply a transformation. Ganon is not a different person.

In TWW, the names are used interchangably. Quite often they refer to the Gerudo as Ganon, not Ganondorf. That should be proof enough.

Still, you never see Piggy Ganon be called Ganondorf. Ut could be possible that while Ganondorf can turn into Ganon, Ganon isn't a form mutually exclusive to Ganondorf. Not that we have any proof, though, seeing as Ganondorf is the only person we see turn into Ganon.

I think we'll see the Spirit Temple in construction

Why the Spirit Temple specifically?

If you remember from TWW, we meet King Dolphanes Hyrule. So, his last name is Hyrule.

Which leads me to believe that either Link or Zelda in this game will have the last name of Hyrule.

I think that Ganon is not the same as Ganondorf, originally. Ganondorf just uses Ganon's power, and they work side by side. Ganon gets a nice body to live in, and Ganondorf gets an amazing demon to use in his destruction.

We see that in ST, Malladus (possessing Coun. Cole) is a demon that strangly looks like a different form of Ganon. I think it's because they are both powerful demons that are controling a human body. Maybe the same demon? That is a stretch, but... Who knows.

Give me even one shred of evidence for this.

If Malladus was Ganon, his name would actually be Ganon.
