Was not rito already confirmed?

For some reason, people were denying that the bird person we saw in the trailer was a rito, because... i don't know?

[Egan_BW]

obviously a birdman from star fox

[Ozyton]

There was that bird musician guy from the little gameplay thing they had a while back, too.

Theory: The Legend of Zelda is a prequel to Star Fox.

Status: Confirmed.

Also, Shiekah racism bad.

Could be a reference to the Dark Interlopers or something equivalent, depending on the game's placement in the timeline.

This looks like after the WindWaker timeline.  It would explain a ruined Hyrule, and would explain the existence of the Rito musician.

In WindWaker, they establish that the Zora evolve into the Rito.  However, if the Rito actually has wings, it means the red dragon Valoo is still kickin it. (they need one of his scales to perform the metamorphosis, and grow the wings.)

Similarly, the kokiri evolve into the little wood sprite things. (forget what they are.) They too are seen.  This suggests that Breath of the Wild takes place after Wind Waker.

Looks like chronologically, this takes place between WindWaker, and Spirit Tracks, or perhaps between WindWaker and PhantomHourglass.

This would have the Sheika being the alternate timeline parallels of the Twili, and the denizens of the dark world, from the other two timelines. (In the adult link timeline, the sheika do not suffer a fall the same way they would have in child link, and fallen hero timelines) However, with the flooding of hyrule, they may have either been sequestered in the frozen time state depicted in Windwaker, or have departed while the King of Red Lions did his boat shapeshifting thing waiting for a time to properly defeat Gannon. (again.) Most likely this latter, as they appear to have greatly refined their magical powers.  Upon returning, they may have been seen initially as a valuable asset (Hyrule in decrepit repair), but then seen as dangerous (seriously OP compared to the frozen, and descendent hylians), and with the return of Gannon, they would be the obvious power he would seek to corrupt for his domestic army. This would explain the machine/magic war, and why so many shrines are dedicated to the returning hero. (A civil war within the Shieka))

It would again explain the Deus Ex Machina being invoked-- Gannon's return before the Hero reincarnates, Causes all kinds of shit. Shieka are divided-- some attempt to resurrect the hero (notice the name and type of place link wakes up in), and secure a means of defeating Gannon, while others join his army of darnkess. The Gods send a machine army and new guardians to hold Gannon until that appointed time when the cycle can once again unfold.

Phantom Hourglass takes place soon after Wind Waker and features the same Link. Spirit Tracks takes place exactly 100 years after Phantom Hourglass and features Linebeck's grandson. There's no room within that for Breath of the Wild, which takes place exactly 100 years after the Calamity Ganon destroys Hyrule.

It's fully possible that this takes place in the timeline that explicitly starts with Link failing to defeat Ganon.

There's no room within that for Breath of the Wild, which takes place exactly 100 years after the Calamity Ganon destroys Hyrule.

Thousands of years after Phantom Hourglass, the waters covering Hyrule partially recede and it is repopulated. Calamity Ganon appears and destroys Hyrule due to a critical lack of Excuse Me Princess, 100 years pass and Link is resurrected/awakened.

That might be...

But that would make the sealing war be very brutal. It WOULD help explain why the Link To The Past wise men are all hylian when the sages in OOT are all kinds of races (without involving some serious Rule34 shenanigans), but would leave more evidence than is seen in Link To The Past. (Only a handful of Armos and Beamos automata in LTTP, and mostly clustered around the hero pendant palace, and the Desert palace. NO evidence whatsoever of the advanced technoshrines seen in the teasers for BoTW)

Either the sealing war was both very long and brutal (so much so that all descendents of the old sages were blown up, leaving only hylians to become sages-- Kinda blown by the existence of Koroks and Rito though...) and the reconstruction period was REAAAAALY long, and hard (So long that all traces of the machine war are erased by time), or it cannot be that timeline.

It could be another "Hero failed" timeline, split after wind waker, thus preventing phantom hourglass and spirit tracks.

Holy crap, the game looks awesome. Curious about 2:45 of the 2017 trailer where it shows three-ish other humanoids with Link. I wonder if whoever they are will fight alongside you. And will Zelda actually meet, and join Link, and would she re-create the crying from the trailer? Is there anywhere I can see that with more context? Don't know much about SS. Are we sure that Hyrule didn't exist before SS? Whatever destroyed Hyrule would've been a pretty good reason to escape into the sky... Now that I'm thinking of it, what the hell destroyed those guardians sitting all over the place? They are giant magitech octopi capable of killing Link with one hit, so whatever destroyed them must be pretty powerful. *shivering thinking about a creature powerful enough*

[SOLDIER First]

We're pretty sure Hyrule was created a while after SS, yeah.

[pikachu17]

Sorry, I'm not a knowledged fan. I think that considering Breath of the Wild Link eventually slays the guardians, giant magitek octopi with 6-heart taking blasts, he is probably the most bad-ass link in the series(including Hyrule warriors Link). Of course, that assumes that Link eventually defeats one. (if you know of a video of him killing one, please give me a link, pun intended)

[SOLDIER First]

I never said any of that...

Also, you're forgetting Twilight Princess Link, who fought at least three Darknuts at once (four if you do the Cave of Ordeals twice, god help you) and has that awesome sword twirl after every boss.

[pikachu17]

Are four Darknuts as bad as two Guardians? In the (first, in case they release others.)2017 trailer, it shows Link fighting two Guardians at the same time. Not in a cut scene, so probably actually happens in the game. The Guardians remove 6 hearts with every hit(apparently. That's how much Tv Tropes said, although I haven't seen one image of link with more than three hearts). And as far as I know, no one knows yet how to defeat a guardian. Though it might well involve the magitek equivalent of a rocket launcher.

[SOLDIER First]

Four Darknuts are worse than two Guardians until concrete evidence suggests otherwise. war flashbacks

I haven't seen the four Darknuts. So, agree to disagree on that? But considering there appears to be four giant guardians, at least, and considering how destructive just one small octopi guardian can be, I'm guessing the boss fights will be doozies.
