INFINITE DARKNESS

The only thing I can do for you is teach you the melody that will
lead you to the Shadow Temple...This is the melody that will draw
you into the infinite darkness that absorbs even time... Listen to
this, the Nocturne of Shadow!!


this has bugged me for a while...what does she mean when she says "infinite darkness that absorbs even time"?? Does that mean time stops inside the temple or something???

i wanna see some interesting theories on this one.
Or maybe just an answer.

Re: INFINITE DARKNESS

it's obviously an over exaggeration. it's supposed to scare you by showing you how crazy huge and powerful the shadow temple is.

Re: INFINITE DARKNESS

Honestly, I think Sheik was just being poetic. I don't think there's really a hidden meaning behind what she says.

I can't come up with a good literal in-game theory, but out-of-game I don't think it means anything.

Re: INFINITE DARKNESS

She says a lot of retarded things:

"The flow of time is always cruel...
Its speed seems different for
each person, but no one can
change it..."

Obviously, the flow of time can be changed.

sheik also calls the master sword a ship:

The Master Sword is a ship with
which you can sail upstream and
downstream through time's river...
The port for that ship is in the
Temple of Time...

so if the darkness absorbs time, she directly contradicts herself by these quotes.

for one. darkness is not a person. she said no one can change the flow of time, not nothing. and there's nothing there that says the flow of time can be changed anyway. darkness absorbs time. it's vague.

also, it's an analogy, obviously

Both of which have meaning.

Re: INFINITE DARKNESS

Sheik is poet, don't take very literal her words.

Re: INFINITE DARKNESS

What the others said, Sheik is supposed to be a deep and poetic character.

+ The shadow temple makes counless references to death and afterlife, so much that some even theorize that it's Hyrules door to the afterlife.
So what happens if you die? Your time is up...the darkness that absorbs even time is death. At least that's what I get from this metaphore.

Re: INFINITE DARKNESS

Makes Shadow Temple seem more epic. That's all. A poetical description if you will.

when she talked about the sword being a river it was metaphorically

I dont think this is a NoA thing....It's just a metaphorical description.

I know it's metaphorical.

I'm just saying they are proned to being overly poetic, thus adding things that are not in the original NoJ content - This is where certain people will take things literally when they are not meant to be interpretted like such.
