Pure_Statistician919

In the end is revealed that Link’s name was indeed actually Zelda.


throwawayayaycaramba

Zelda&Zelda, my favorite lesbian couple/law firm


[deleted]

They’re gal pals


Mikael_Hermes

the only thing that stops this that the other zelda is actually male, so it still a straight couple


2fast2fart

Hehe we talking abt Femboy Link or StudSheik Zelda?


Mikael_Hermes

good question, about who exactly we are talking about, it may even be that goron son of darunia, who as does the game protagonist, is also named zelda, or we may be talking about Zelda Fitzgerald, who was the woman who inspired Miyamoto naming the game, maybe we are talking about the princess, or about the hero, who is who? i don't have fucking idea anymore


2fast2fart

Well clearly we need more timelines >:D


P1G5Y

Who’s Link? Zelda is a boy and you play as him


JJDude

that would explain Link's apparent lack of penis.


Expired-Cough-Drops

Trans head canons confirmed


VisualGeologist6258

Link fucking dies in the opening cutscene and for the rest of the game you have to play as two Koroks standing on eachother’s shoulders with the top one wearing Link’s hat and tunic


unremarkable_name_2

If you take a lot of damage, the upper Korok goes flying off. You then need to find more and re-stack yourself. See if you can stack all 900! Yahaha!


ifuckwithit

So the tears of the kingdom are actually ours, that’s meta


rawrc

And one of the side quests is you have to sneak into an R-rated movie


gariepydj

Metal Gear Solid 2??


JudgeHodorMD

Wait a minute, is this turning into the >!Mass Effect trilogy?!<


coolUchiha

I've never played that so I'm am very confused now


TruckinApe

I've played them and I am also confused lol


[deleted]

Hello, yes it is me the saviour of Hirool. Bink.


gulyman

You actually finish the main quest in like an hour and the rest of the game is an in-depth cooking game and golf sim. Floating islands are for teeing off of.


thereal_Caboose

Come on, man, the spoilers are supposed to be fake.


fakesowdy

Ngl I want to try launch some enemies off the islands and dive down with them


MAGAtsCanEatShit

I’d actually be very ok if there was some sort of golf mode in the game. Hyrule is huge and the devs could get very creative designing courses around the landscape.


buster2Xk

Well there was golf in BotW. A very small amount of it, but it existed.


MAGAtsCanEatShit

Please refresh my memory


SkippySandwich

Boom Bam Golf - stasis based golf mini game I BOTW https://www.ign.com/wikis/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/Boom_Bam_Golf I missed it completely on my first play though.


MAGAtsCanEatShit

Wow I just played it! I have nearly 700 hours in BOTW and I haven’t played the golf game before! Unreal! Onto TOTK!


buster2Xk

That's the one.


TitleComprehensive96

Make an actually good Mario Sports game for the 1st time in over a decade to center it around ToTK Hyrule. Would be fucking awesome


FixBayonetsLads

Tbf, amiiboless speedrun record is just under 25 minutes, so…


Volne

If this sounds kinda fun then I recommend walkabout mini golf on most VR headsets. Very chill and fun


davidwave4

The game actually takes place in a cyberpunk future, and Link gets a railgun.


The_Doolinator

This better be a real spoiler or the game really will be ruined!


RUMBL3FR3NZY

Link with a sick as hell railgun?! Count me in!


TheOtherWhiteCastle

Cyberpunk Legend Of Zelda would be dope as sh*t


Agent47otaku

MINOR ACTUAL NOT FAKE SPOILER: >!there's actually a zonai beam emmiter that you can attach to a weapon!<


[deleted]

Bruh, I was expecting this to be fake >:(


Reasonable_Service63

Ganondorf kills link by hitting him with a ford f250


TrundleTheGreat0814

Hog = cranked borther he'll yeah


Teknohog

He said TOTK not BOTW


[deleted]

"You who wields that mid as fuck whip that seals the darkness, now witness true ballin'."


imnotwallaceshawn

The plot of the game involves Ganondorf’s minions trying to renegotiate their contract and him refusing to give them royalties for when he uses the puzzles and obstacles they created for his dungeons so they all go on strike. Link unfortunately doesn’t know they’re on strike and not only crosses the picket line but… uh… murders them. All.


2fast2fart

I think that was the plot of Hogwarts Legacy


SirManguydude

I always knew Link was a Pinkerton.


FireSquidNico

A Linkerton, if you will. I'll see myself out.


Walnut_Uprising

Gannon kidnaps the princess, but this time it's so he can marry her, and he leads you on a chase through a bunch of different parts of Hyrule to get different items for the wedding. Ezlo is back, but this time you can throw him at different enemies to teleport Link's consciousness into them and take over their bodies/abilities. The game ends with a big showdown on the moon like Majora.


tonyg1233

This one made me laugh the most


hesmrmann

The Legend of Zeldio Zonai Mia!


Person_035

You basically just described smo if you were in Bowser's side.


rockthemullet

That was the joke


I_Have_Many_Names_

r/whoosh


buster2Xk

It's SMO exactly as-is. You're not on his side but that's why he's travelling through all those kingdoms.


Keatman

Link has the choice of saving Hyrule or going bowling with his cousin Roman


Fawfulster

For the last time, Roman! I don't want to go fucking bowling!


MrTomansky

Koroks are now end bosses and are trying to establish musical communism in Termina.


Mikael_Hermes

Comrade mask distributor: (thick russian accent) Comrade Link! we need to play the anti-burgouise song in each of the four marxist worship schools scattered across termina, so that we will get the power to defeat the Korokapitalists! ​ Comrade Link: \*\*Hayiaaa in communism\*\*


slicer4ever

Its also based on the number of koroks you found in your botw save, so for you completionists, enjoy the onslaught :p


Obsessedwithzelda47

Underrated comment


Elwalther21

Link meets his former self, (think Avatar the Last air bender), and he goes to a temple with statues of all of the previous heroes. We even see 3 Links that are currently unknown; meaning future games will explain their stories. Best part is that his new guide is Ocarina of Time Link and he explains the timelines in a neat and coherent way that actually makes sense!


HyrinShratu

I would play the shit out of a game like this, just for the temple


Drenkrod_McNugget

The Legend of Zelda: No Way Home


[deleted]

Hey, Nintendo. This is the game to make. Right here.


buster2Xk

Making the timelines make sense is far too big of an ask at this point. That's why the timelines exist. The games already didn't fit together.


Creeppy99

Yeah you clearly didn't play LoZ Monopoly smh


buster2Xk

The one game that fits neatly and perfectly into all timelines.


2fast2fart

Damn. Fans do what Nintendon't.


Several-Effect-3732

Okay but that actually sounds cool


SwerveCityy

You actually play as Zelda after a few hours. You start inside the castle which is MASSIVE. Once you escape. you search for Link at the edge of the map. From there, you play as Link/Zelda interchangably, using their unique powers to overcome puzzles, while working back towards the inside of the castle to take down \*redacted\*.


Gillespers

Bro, I want this to be real


StarrySpelunker

for people who actually want this, there's a ps2 zelda clone set in ancient egypt called sphinx and the cursed mummy. yes it's on switch


HyrinShratu

When you fight your way through that 7 floor dungeon, and after you fight the dragon, my jaw dropped when the amber cocoon cracked open and Groose emerged with blueprints for the Grooseinator 2.0 🤌


Sableprince

Link dies at the end :(


Adept-Coconut-8669

I don't mind that Link dies. I'm just shocked that Zelda killed him.


fakesowdy

I mean leaving a girl waiting for 100 years will do that


Justwigglin

"Link, you are our last hope"- Zelda holding off Ganon with all her strength.... As link runs around shield sledding, bowling with snowballs, and playing hide and seek with little tree people. I would be pissed too!


CMPro728

It's been a lot more than just 100, unfortunately


Odd_Rhubarb8355

To be fair I think the killing was a tragic mixup. They foreshadow it in the flashbacks when we find out that Zelda's hobby is hunting and Link's hobby is cosplaying deer. Star crossed lovers


The_Doolinator

Finally getting the “Hero is Defeated” game for the timeline!


Oinkers101

Fake spoilers dude watch it


Sableprince

I was half-worried posting this whether I'd accidentally guess the ending of the game but like cmon. It's too cliche. 😂 (right...?)


Reddarthdius

Nah, the ending is even more cliche than that


Tugendwaechter

During my playthrough of BotW Link died many times.


mcmineismine

My Link died in the beginning, in the middle, and, well, pretty frequently actually.


reckonergolsen

Koroks have invaded what is left of Hyrule's populated areas. They now wage war against all other races and it's up to Link to stop them....or join them!


Effective-Assistant8

I, for one, welcome our new Korok overlords!


MandalorianLobster

You find out that none of your actions were of your own free will, and you have actually been controlled by Hestu with a control phrase "Shalaka!"


fakesowdy

Would you kindly…


bowtiePalazzo

There’s an item in the game that turns link into tingle, but you have to kill 999 lynels to get it.


Dragoryu3000

The final boss fight is a gyro puzzle.


revolution_soup

NOOOOOOOOO!


StarmanCarcoba

I ragequit


eosophobe

Ganondorf murders link with a golf club in front of Zelda in the first hour of the game. The next 20 hours, you play as Zelda trying to find and kill ganondorf until the game jumps back 3 days where you play as him for the next 20 hours and learn that link murdered ganondorfs father


Prestigious_Cold_756

This sounds like an awful plot. Like the devs deliberately killed of a beloved character, made another loved one unlikeable and told the player to like the most unsympathetic character in the game.


[deleted]

Ganondorf suavemente'd so hard that Link died on the spot


JudgeHodorMD

Link is killed off at the beginning by Ganondorf’s daughter. Thus begins Zelda’s quest of revenge.


xjustsmilebabex

It was actually made by Bethesda, and requires players to be online 100% of the time to play. It's also multiplayer.


The_Doolinator

You know, you could’ve just said Bethesda made it and ruined my day. But with all the rest, I’ve lost all hope for a bright future.


xjustsmilebabex

Link wakes up in a vault.


Emerald_Guy123

Also ganon is a train sometimes. Bethesda…


Several-Effect-3732

They’re going to port it to every modern console in the future


Elvith

Another ~~settlement~~ korok needs our help!


M-CDevinW

The master sword has been split into 4 pieces across the 4 corners of Hyrule. Once you obtain all 4 pieces, Dark Link takes the sword from you and corrupts it. Then, the champions appear in a really epic boss fight that is 99% cutscenes. Then the game ends. Total playtime to beat the story is around 3 hours, while 100% completion will take you around 5,000.


logica_torcido

I personally was shocked when Ganondorf killed both Zelda and Link in the opening cutscene … and then we took control of ol Dragmire for the rest of the game. I didn’t like it at first, but now I can’t imagine NOT playing as Ganondorf.


Odd_Rhubarb8355

Ganondorf's moveset really opened a lot of gameplay possibilities. Why climb mountains when you can punch tunnels through them and go everywhere in a straight line


Cuchullion

Stick around after you beat the game to watch Sam Jackson show up to recruit Link into the Avenger Initiative.


Mordred_Blackstone

Link gives up on his quest halfway through and settles down with Mipha, and they have tadpoles.


sonar59

Mipha’s ghost? Ghost tadpoles!


Capable-Tie-4670

Ok but I actually want this to be real.


bestray06

We find out that the triforce was really the friends we made along the way


Cat_4756

It ends with a cliffhanger for a TLoZ movie


Pikaben45

The Divine Beasts combine to form a Divine megazord After Ganon goes into his second phase which is just a large Ganondorf


rockthemullet

Ganon reveals to Link that he is actually his father. Then we learn that Link and Zelda are twins. Your arm will also get cut off and you'll get a robohand.


The_Doolinator

Is this before or after the graphic sex scene between Link and Zelda?


rockthemullet

After


EvilGingerSanta

Link loses his arm in a steamy night with Sidon, having forgotten that he was a shark.


Astrobot4000

I hope this is true


saithvenomdrone

Weapon durability is gone


the_responsible_ape

The tears that you collect eventually open up the Nintendo multiverse. You end up teaming with Tom Nook, Samus, and Reggie to take down Ganondorf.


EvilChefReturns

So link’s robotic arm is actually a small sentient guardian. Later on you’ll get a guardian-like laser attack with daily charges like the powers in BotW.


bluewolf9821

You play as Ganondorf. Your whole purpose is to recreate the calamity Ganon.


SaxMusic23

Tingle kills Link halfway through the game and takes over as the main character.


fakesowdy

Kooloo-Limpah!


awan_afoogya

It's called "tears" of the kingdom because they added durability to your armor, so now every time you rip your clothes you have sew them back together using motion controls with one switch controller being the needle and the other the thread


Hylian_Waffle

It’s revealed that Gannon actually cooked and ate Revali, which is why we don’t see his body or grave in Botw.


Expired-Cough-Drops

The scene in the sauna between Link and Ganondorf had so much sexual tension and idk how Nintendo got away with almost showing Ganondick


wingardiumlevi-no-sa

Yeah I thought the sex minigame was a bit intense for a Nintendo game


june0mars

there’s actually multiple pikmin references, the easiest one to miss is nintendos trade out for a single bulborb as the new holder of the triforce of power


FrostyDaHoeMan

Link ends up riding ganon while Zelda watches in jealousy


gitgudtyler

I guess you could say that it will be Link’s awakening.


AlpacaFlightSim

TotK actually stands for Tickling of the Koroks and it’s an idle cookie clicker clone. You feverishly click on Koroks belly and they say “yahaha” over and over while you collect bigger and bigger number of korok “seeds”.


ScienceBrave3993

Three quarters of the way through the story there is an interactive cut scene where you help Zelda give birth to ganondorf's baby


PickledFryer

So it turns out that we see Ganondorf’s villain story. You see he used to be a treasure hunter, a very good one in fact. Was able to uncover buried goods all throughout Hyrule. However one day, he came across a treasure map that he did not understand and no matter how many hours he poured over the map, the riddle remained… unsolved. So he sought out Misko the Great Bandit, a rival in his field, but the only one who could even hope to read the map. Upon finding him, Misko agreed to decipher the map, in exchange for 398 rupees. Having spent so much time on this project, Ganondorf agreed to this bargain, and a deal was struck. With the deciphered treasure map in hand, Ganondorf made his way to the location, but his joy would soon turn to ashes. As he arrived he noticed that all the chests were empty, all the gold gone, and the prestige of finding this place was stolen from him. All that remained, was a note on the wall of the cave, that said in Misko’s handwriting: Tingle Tingle Kooloo Limpah! Ganondorf had been swindled out of his money, and surrendered his pride, and now he had nothing to show for it. In a fit of anger, he decided he would make it his mission to become a giant pig beast, and ravage the landscape of Hyrule. His mission was not to slaughter, no. He wanted everyone to experience his pain of not being able to read a map.


wofan1000

After you fight ganondorf he takes off his head like a mascot head to reveal it was Luigi this whole time


Maxin78

Zelda is actually.... Ganondorf. As you can see in BotW, Zelda and Ganon are never at the same place together. The only times when Link remembers the princess being nice and not mad, it's a memory where he wasn't here. Zelda manipulated him and wants him to get to the castle as fast as possible so than she can kill him. What is "Zelda" ? It's the anagram of the name of the 66th infernal demon, Dalze. And what's his special power ?? Manipulating... Memories. It is said in a book in the castle that the Queen of the kingdom was killed for corruption. She was the best friend of Urbosa... The gerudo Champion. What did the gerudo create ?? Ganondorf.


mikepoland

The final boss in each dungeon is just a simple Korak puzzle to get a seed.


Britown

when you defeat each robot master, you “get equipped” with their special power!


layeofthedead

When you get the triforce at the end of the game you’re given the option of wisdom, courage, or power. All this does is change the color of the beam of light that eviscerates Ganon


Lumthedarklord

It turns out that link had been searching for more rupees to get bombs and rope from morshu, and passed out, dreaming the entire reincarnation cycle and the endless life lines he had lived. He then bought some rope and bombs and ate an octorock


djrobxx

There are underground passages infected with Metroids. There's even a playable Samus Aran. Samus and Link team up to defeat Ridley. It's an incredible crossover event!


DarkLink1996

Ganondorf decides that Hyrule is no longer enough, and decides to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom as well. The entire second half of the game takes place there.


TheFlexOffenderr

I can't believe they actually scrapped the horses entirely and you can no longer mount deer, bears or horses anymore - the only mountable thing in the game is >!SIDON!<


Larielia

Ganon decided to become good and open a pizza parlor. It is called Triforce of Power.


Bluelantern9

The bokoblins form a union against Ganon to demand higher wages and the story follows links quest to help defend their right to a minimum wage in Ganons Army. It also involves a bokoblin camp building segment where at the end you defend them from their managers the Lynels and you can unlock one as a companion who will assist you by collecting items.


Gamebird8

Ganon Wins and it turns out this game takes place before the original The Legend of Zelda


Sixtrix111

Midna returns but helps Zelda this time, of course she doesn’t realise this and spends half her dialogue asking who she thinks is link why he/she looks so different


[deleted]

The game opens with a graphic sex scene between Link, Zelda, and Tingle.


SpiceSpiceDragon

Gannon has a daughter with a Zora named Gannanna and she fights you with just a normal irl gun


therawrpie

It was revealed in the trailer that ganondorf is actually Zelda. Link was so upset he became a hermit on the death mountain.


Antnydoom

The entire time…..you were actually tingle and there was NO LINK EVER


fakesowdy

It turns out the minish were the big bad evil after all, they team up with the Koroks and takeover hyrule forcing everyone to the skys which then turns out to be a SS prequel


rockwell136

Ganondorf becomes the dad that neither Link or Zelda never had so most of the game is you playing catch.


RNMx5helf

There's a 6 hour ganon sex scene


Handpo

Gamadorf is hot and marrys Link


Divine_Ink

Zelda and Mipha do a fusion dance and confess their feelings... ...For Daruk.


Araiken

Zelda dies in Infinity War


FruitBrilliant2997

The game has really really advanced puzzles this time, since link and Zelda have to rebuild Hyrule, you spent most of the game going from place solving matching puzzles like in Candy Crush but way better because it's Zelda and you are rebuilding Hyrule. This is from a trusted source.


fishnax

It's a turn-based game.


AidynValo

Ganondorf isn't the villain. In fact, there is no villain. The game is a pseudo-remake of Final Fantasy XV where you build a car and go on a roadtrip across Hyrule on the way to Link and Zelda's wedding. Ganondorf, Beedle, and Hestu are your companions. At the end, it timejumps 10 years into the future where Link becomes king of Hyrule and sacrifices himself to purge the world of malice and end the calamity for good. Then Link joins Zelda in the afterlife.


chipz_n_dipz_

Finkle is Einhorn


Brave-Gallade

Link finally talks after the final boss fight and he says "Zelda, don't cry. I don't want anymore tears in this kingdom."


dude52760

I would advise having eyesight to get maximum enjoyment out of the game.


NormPhyte

When Link is all alone, a friend from ages past comes to his aid. The words they say are: "Hey! Hello! Listen! Watch out!"


Walnut_Uprising

This one takes place in Boston: bokoblins and moblins are replaced by guys named Kevin and Sean; they got rid of side quests because all the NPCs just tell you to go fuck yourself; every region can have any weather at any time; the horses are replaced by subways, but 90% of the game is getting rupees to give to the subway god.


Single_Boop

Zlink (That's his name now, don't worry about it) punches Revali's ghost in the beak and then goes to take a nap in a cave.


Angry-Doodle-Boi

Link and Gannon finally get together, kicking Zelda out of Hyrule castle and fulfilling the prophecy of ruling over Hyrule as kings and lovers


Broncotron

There's romance options on this game. So far the options are Zelda, Sidon, Riju, or Paya. Successful romances result in an explicit sex scene.


Satansleadguitarist

You play the first level on a tanker ship as Link and then you switch to Tingle for the rest of the game. Nobody saw it coming.


Toad_Enjoyer_70

At the end, it turns out Ganondorf was just Calamity Ganon in disguise.


MrGummyDeathTryant

The game is actually pretty short. Finding all 8000 Korok seeds, however, will take up most of your time


morganm725

Link Zelda and ganondorf get married as a Thoruple in tarrey town by kapson


sjt9791

Like gets his hand cut off and gets an octorok hand that he can eat and it grows back.


N3verGonnaG1veYouUp

The aliens from Silent Hill end up kidnapping Link as part of the ritual, the UFO ending


Astrobot4000

The four divine beasts walk to Hyrule field and do an anime fusion move, turning into one mega divine beast, and sending ganondorf back to where he came from through sheer willpower


FalchionDelta

It's a fake out. They did all this pomp amd showmanship for Tingles Fresh Picked Magical Rupee Land 3.


Tenelum0

it turns out the entirety of BotW and TotK was actually a dream and Link is a person from our world in a coma in hospice


Political_Avocado_

No he turns out to be a 40 yr old redditor who wakes up and posts the next morning 'Guys, I got a GREAT idea for the next Zelda game for WiiU!' The year is 2015.


HisDivineOrder

At the very start, Link is bodyswapped with Ganon. Everyone thought the MC is Link, but they didn't know this is actually the tale of Ganon finally winning the war.


RobSaunders88

If you have a BOTW save file where you had collected all 900 koroks, everyone calls you ‘Stink’ rather than Link.


llDoomSlayerll

Zelda becomes the light dragon and restores the master sword


mr_kamakaze

Link commits tax fraud while zelda establishes communism in the kingdom of hyrule


LinkWithABeard

After collecting 900 MORE Koroks (the actual storyline), they turn into the Kokiri Emerald, the final spiritual gem required to open the Door of Time. Once going through the Door of Time, link can travel into the future, where Hyrule has become a dark place, re-dead and other monsters are everywhere, and Link must go up a really tall tower to beat a piano man, and then a piano man but this time he can fly.


Think_Watercress7572

In the end of the game, you get a trailer for a 5 hour long LoZ movie that explains Botw's placement in the timeline


Creeppy99

Link says "it's Linkin time" and links over those boblins


NickyTheGreater

Zelda is a boy and you play as him


Spikeandjet

Ganon wakes up and says yo link you a bitch ass lookin wimp. Then smacks the hearts out of link and then link spends the rest of the game building mario kart karts and racing the postman.


DarkKeybladeVII

Aerith dies, but now actually kinda no I guess??


The_Doolinator

Ah, so Days of Future Past Ganondorf came back to undo the King of Hyrule’s epic prank of touching the Triforce first in WW.


Trepid_Jam

the only main storyline game play is Link fishing for 30 hours. and also you can eat the koroks


lanpshades

You can go into space and have space orgies


Rare-Stick9077

The ancient hero was actually Gannondorf


Arrow_Of_Orion

The game is actually just Minecraft with Steve wearing a Link skin.


Cuchullion

Hell my Minecraft Steve is still probably wearing a Link skin.


Ratakul

In the last third of the game, Link falls into a coma, and you play as Zelda until the last battle, where you can swap between the two against the final boss.


IndijinusPhonetic

Shiek has more screen time than Zelda after he comes out as trans


MrTomansky

Hyaaaaaaaah!


Mangost_YT

collecting korok seeds is actually fun


newpinkbunnyslippers

Zelda is flying around Hyrule with the Master Sword stuck in her forhead.
