Where are the Sheikah Warriors in Tears of the Kingdom?
Secret Sheikah Ninjas in the Legend of Zelda. An almost completely unsubstantiated Legend of Zelda theory. (This is a re-edit of an older post. Available here.) The ninja-esc warriors of the Sheikah Tribe have long been an important fixture of the Legend of Zelda universe. But they’re also a mysterious element. Breath of the Wild…

Star Wars Rewritten. A No-Spoiler Version of Episode 2. Part 4
How to Create a No-Spoiler Version of Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones. Part 4 I grew up watching the Star Wars Prequels and love them to no end, but I will admit that they’re flawed films. The fan base has, subsequently, provided a host of suggestions and proposals on how to fix…

2003 Clone Wars Should Be Canon. It can coexist with 2008.
(This is re-edit of an older article. Available here.) Following Attack of the Clones, the creator of Samurai Jack, Genndy Tartakovsky, was hired by Lucasfilm to produce an animated mini-series set during the clone wars. The episodes were short, just a few minutes long (they got longer in the final season) and the whole show…

The Life of the Hero of Legend: Zelda Timeline
I’ve been playing Echoes of Wisdom lately. Interestingly, its map is heavily based on A Link to the Past. It was basically just expanded, because of that, I was initially expecting it to be the same Link. It’s not though, it’s a new incarnation. I’m not complaining, it’s a great game. Nevertheless, it did get…

Re-Edits. Update 17/7/2025
One of the reasons I created this blog (in addition to getting a lot of fan theories out of my head!) was to improve my writing ability. I do think I’ve done that, and will hopefully continue to improve. An unexpected result of which is that I keep looking back on the earliest posts and…

Rebooting Terminator. They should make a Future War Movie.
(This is a re-edit of an early article. The original is available here.) The emergence of AI and advancements in robotics have made the Terminator franchise very relevant. Whenever people talk about an AI apocalypse, they usually reference Skynet: the franchise’s rogue supercomputer that tries to destroy humanity and starts using time travel to prevent…

How did the Daleks defeat the Time Lords?
When Doctor Who was revived in 2005 (New Who), it was revealed that during the intermission, a war had broken out between the Time Lords and the Daleks, destroying both civilisations. The Doctor was now the last of his kind, and the Daleks had suffered a major setback. Still, after watching the classic series, the…

What is the Majora’s Mask land of Termina?
Is Termina a parallel universe? Or is it a dream world or a nearby land? Majora’s Mask (MM) is easily one of the best games in the Legend of Zelda franchise. It’s also one of the few Zelda games to take place outside the Kingdom of Hyrule. The game sees Link leave the kingdom, after…

How to Make a ‘No-Spoiler’ Version of Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones Part 2
I’ve become a little obsessed with figuring out how to create a no-spoiler version of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy that a new fan could watch before the original films without having any of the twists or reveals spoiled. I’ve already made an outline for the Phantom Menace, and am now working on Attack of…

Reincarnation in the Legend of Zelda
How does reincarnation work in the Zelda Universe? Reincarnation and eternal return are major themes in the Legend of Zelda video games. The three main characters, Link, Zelda and the villain Ganon/Ganondorf, are continuously reincarnated, cursed by the Demon King Demise to refight their battle over and over. That’s the elevator pitch right there. They’re…

How to make a no-spoiler version of Attack of the Clones Part 1
Some time back, I wrote a series of articles outlining an alternative version of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. I wanted to see if it would be possible to create a ‘No Spoiler’ version of the prequels that a new fan could watch before the Original Trilogy, without spoiling any of its twists…

The Donkey Kong Bananza Direct. It looks great!
Donkey Kong: Bananza is a great name. Ten out of ten. That’s my only comment. Jokes aside, Nintendo aired a short direct for Donkey Kong: Bananza yesterday, and it looks incredible. I have to confess, I was a little disinterested when they announced Bananza during the Switch 2 direct. I did like the look of…

The Return of Doctor Who’s Granddaughter
The return of Susan Foreman explained, with a bit of Doctor Who head canon thrown in. Spoilers for Doctor Who Series 15. I love Doctor Who, but to be honest, the most recent series was not great. Ncuti Gatwa was a good Doctor, and there were a lot of cool ideas, but the writing has…

Update 9/6/2025
No new article this week, I’m afraid. I have some articles in the pipeline, but it’s been a busy week irl, so I haven’t been able to finish them. I have been working on the website more generally, however. For one thing, I’ve been trying to make it more user-friendly. I recently changed the layout…
