Age of Imprisonment and the History of the Zonai. Spoilers for Age of Imprisonment Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment was released a couple of weeks ago, and it introduced a ton of new lore. Not just Zonai lore either, but Zelda lore in general. It’s also canon, which is cool. The previous Hyrule Warriors game,…

Legend of Zelda Timeline Theory: Sheikah vs Hylians
The Sheikah Tribe is, by far, one of the most important factions in the Legend of Zelda series. They’re also known as the Shadow Folk, and they’re usually good guys. They oppose Ganon, they help out Link, they’re loyal to the royal family, and they’re allied to the Hylians. There’s a fair amount of in-game…

The Real Monsters in the Legend of Zelda are the Hylians
Monstrous Hylians doing Monstrous things to Monsters. (This is a more coherent, edited version of an early post. The original is available here.)

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…

Legend of Zelda Theory: The Rito Explained
There are many factions and species in the Legend of Zelda universe. The Rito tribe (anthropomorphic bird people) are probably the most confusing lore-wise. They were reintroduced in 2017’s Breath of the Wild, having not been seen since 2003’s Wind Waker. It was cool to see them again, but it also created a continuity error…
