so my fav theory is still the ganondorf is used as a battery to power the sheikah tech, so this is a continuation of sorts-
my idea is that this thing we see in the newest trailer
is a construct similar to this one we saw in an older trailer
but the one we saw in the new trailer is like a major sentient one, THE main one so to say, and its powered by gan through the attached green hand (which is part of the construct)
now, since link and zelda wander into the cave and disturb his .. “peace” he tries to break out and do as much damage as possible, hence zelda falling, and the construct (green hand) having to decide to stay there or save link, so it saves link but thus frees gan, which means its powersource is now gone and its probably running on a limited time battery now
-the reason we suddendly have the islands there and they seem to be fallign apart is bc the construct was both keeping them afloat and hidden away, but now with a rapidly decreasing power supply it cant uphold that anymore
-link has been infected with malice so the green hand fused with it to keep it at bay and also use link as a repairman of sorts; these weird capsules he has in the newest trailer
are like mini batteries, perhaps for keeping the arm powered so the malice doesnt spread, or to power the new abilities .. or to do repairman stuff so the islands dont fully fall apart
now and idea i had with all this was, what if this person
is an example of how a new powersource is created, bc they gotta run out sometime, and whoever has the most powerful spirit gets sacrificed to keep the whole system alive, but at some point they either intentionally or unintentionally chose gan (perhaps even to use refined malice as the power?), but he didnt like that very much and whoops we now have the calamity
perhaps the zonau were who invented all the above sky stuff, and in their absence the sheikah took their tech and refined it to what we know now as the sheikah tech, refining the energy from green to blue and perhaps even more concentrated to orange like we see in the guardian cores
as for the new powersource .. well, zelda sure was powerful
but maybe the whole gesture thing is about making a slightly better deal than what gan had, cant have our pretty lil princess get mummified and tortured right :,)
now for what reason all of this is .. i dont know, obviously, but i just had the thoguht of the capsules link got now are like mini batteries to power his cool new arm and then my thoguhts went on lol
i downloaded skyrim for the switch because I’m too lazy to hook up my PS3 (moving my tv to get at the power bar? get the fuck outta here!) and it was a very bad idea. playing skyrim in one hours doses in the evening as a stealth archer barely gets you through a dungeon. this is a game that I want to play until I pass out from exhaustion.
I’m always like “how did I put 700 hours into my first playthrough???” Well, the answer is that I was either working a job where I had a week+ off every month (sometimes entire months) or I was unemployed for most of the year.
I gotta go back to seasonal work, that was the life… Work for 4 months, fuck around for 4 months. Rinse and repeat.
Edit: I named this character Justice Jailbreaker and I wanted to make her look like Urbosa but they didn’t have the right hair colour and I’m playing vanilla skyrim but I did give her an Urbosa-esque nose. 😔
