UMMMM ACKSHUALLY. Shes descended from a literal goddess, how could she not be white? Like Jesus.


dicktrator

Jesus wasn't white


AccountingDerek

yeah he was, i'm a good american christian who thinks we should nuke the middle east (so we can spread democracy and Christianity)


AttitudeAndEffort2

You show me ONE non white Egyptian, go ahead, I'll wait. Everyone knows Jesus was pale white and had dreadlocks because he was really into Rastafarianism.

Reminds me of Fear Factor getting cancelled because they had an episode where a bunch of attractive ladies had to drink bowls of goat cum. And Joe Rogan is on the sides saying shit like "slurp it all up". Got a weird boner watching that episode though.

ruste530

They keep it locked up in the dungeon.


Sabard

Sonia remarried and had kids for the sole purpose of procreation (so that her great^10 grandkid can come back and bootstrap the whole thing)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sabard

She's the sage of time. I'm sure she had something figured out


Syzygy___

I thought Zelda is the sage of time? Actually, don't answer that. I only unlocked the sage of wind so far - but i the cutscenes, where the 6 sages are mentioned, there's Zelda


thatguyned

This is not really a spoiler based on this thread so don't worry. Sonia is the sage of time, Rauru is the sage of light. Zelda as a descendant of both contains the essence of both but she also primarily identifies as the sage of time. It's the same sage energy just existing in the same moment. Her canonical embodiment of a sage across the games is of "wisdom" which is combining light and time.


LordSupergreat

Sonia has time powers, but is never given the title of "sage". Zelda is the only sage of time.


thatguyned

The fandom wiki lists her as a sage, but you may actually be on to something now I think about it. >!Were they calling themselves "sages" before Sonia gets assassinated or were they only the sages after coming together to fight ganon holding the stone?!<


MontgomeryRook

I’ve been wondering about this one. I haven’t totally finished the game, but I’m not optimistic about the whole “tan elf + bipedal goat = white elf” thing getting explained.


Oops_I_Cracked

Why does it need a specific explanation? It's not like Zelda is their child. There's like over 10,000 years between them. Do you realize the number of generations between them? I would bet very few of us have many specific traits in common with our ancestors from 10,000 years ago.


Vulpix298

10,000 years ago was the first calamity. The imprisoning war was LONG before that.


Oops_I_Cracked

I thought so which is why I said "like over". I knew it had been an *absolute minimum* of that long and thought it was longer.


LordSupergreat

Probably significantly over 10,000 years, given that their time period has a completely different aesthetic. I'd guess 20,000 years just to make it feel more symmetrical.


ExceedinglyGayRoach

The >!Half-Zonai Half-Hylian ancestor to Link you unlock as an outfit for completing all the shrines which is heavily implied to be the hero fighting Calamity Ganon alongside the Guardians in BOTW's Tapestry!< also confirms that the shift from Zonai to Hylian is a lot more well-documented than we thought.


Ryengu

Zelda just doesn't get as much sun is all


Krask

>!could be that Sophia didn't die in Zelda's original timeline, but her being sent back somehow causes Sophia's death? It's a stretch!<


BadAtMostThings

>!Except that explanation then prevents Zelda’s return to the future from being possible, as her method only works if she went back to earlier in the same timeline.!<


AdrianBrony

Your spoiler tag is broken


BadAtMostThings

Weird, I’m pretty sure it was working on my laptop but clearly not on my phone. Fixed.


ruste530

>!Then Zelda had a child with Rauru to preserve her own bloodline!<


pineappledetective

Maybe they had a child that did not appear in the game.

Vox_Carnifex

Nah youre thinking of master chef from fortnite. He has this quote when he cranks 90s "every warthog has its halo"


Presidential_Pet

No you’re thinking of Master Chef with Gordon Ramsay where amateur chefs compete for a chance to have a cookbook published and win money


i_am_do_reddit_now

I'm pretty sure Gordon Ramsays' show is Kitchen Nightmares It's about people who have nightmares when they sleep in their kitchen.


Ildiad_1940

You must be mistaken. That guy [crawls a lot,](https://www.zeldadungeon.net/Zelda09/Walkthrough/01/007.png) and everything knows Metroid can't crawl.


[deleted]

Yeah right no way he's not Link!


Luciano99lp

Remember in Wind Waker when they literally white-washed Zelda?


KGFlower

Aenuma said her skin was darker as Tetra because she had pirate scurvy.


Luciano99lp

For real or are you being silly


Zennistrad

I don't know if that's real, but I think the implication is that Tetra just has a deep tan because she's spent so long on the open sea. It's pretty common in Japanese media for sailors to have tans. (See: Archie's redesign in Alpha Sapphire.) Still doesn't explain why all of the melanin leaves her body as Zelda, but whatever.


omega_oof

I think she takes the form and appearance or her ancestor that was white temporarily, as well as temporarily gaining a her ancestor's dress


HalfDragonShiro

The Ancient Power of the White Woman was finally unlocked


TheMaskedMan2

Yeah that’s how I always imagined it. Also turning into Zelda seemed more magical, she changed clothes and hair and skin and etc. I think she literally reverted to a past self. A past self who didn’t have a tan.


omega_oof

I think she magically takes the form and appearance or her ancestor (og daughter of the king) that was white As opposed to magically changing clothes and reversing her tan.


AttitudeAndEffort2

I genuinely hate that i don't know if this is a joke or not. POES LAW IS TOO RELEVANT. (talk about a poet ahead of his time)

achatina

Wind waker Zelda just made me mad because tetra and Zelda don't act like they were literally the same person


Campanensis

They both think shooting you is a good way to solve problems


achatina

Bless that she didn't lose that in the transformation


Insanepaco247

The Zelda that most acted like Tetra was in Spirit Tracks, which was ironically the Wind Waker sequel that *didn't* feature the same Zelda as the GameCube game.


aLazyGay

Why is she British tho?


Astrapeia

The Hyrule bloodline went from Irish with Sonia to Br*tish with Zelda colonisation is real


[deleted]

Astrapeia

I know, but it sounded to me like she put on a slight accent Coming from someone who lives in Ireland btw


[deleted]

[удалено]


Astrapeia

Idk it sounded like it sometimes but yeah other times it did sound English so I'm not really sure lol


goffer54

I'm pretty sure everyone was directed to put on a sort of fairy tale voice which is why everyone sounds kinda off.


b0w3n

Yeah I'm fairly positive Patricia S. mentioned in some BotW interviews that it wasn't really meant to sound like any specific accent but just "regal and fairy-tale like" so that's why it all sounds vaguely british but also not.


Astrapeia

That would probably make sense yeah


_shaftpunk

I always play with the Japanese VO because I can’t stand the fake accents of the English actors.


AttitudeAndEffort2

The implication that the Brits wouldn't colonize a country just because "it's not real" is offensive to my history. Narnia and Fantasia are crown jewels of the empire.


[deleted]

Middle Earth as well.


[deleted]

Why did you censor the word British?


Gingingin100

Why didn't you ![gif](giphy|VFI5pfj4hamd2)


tapirus-indicus

Because otherwise she's French


Ildiad_1940

Zelda's [French VA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSGlc68ryPs&t=724) is actually excellent. [Ganon's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoQ32FbfGUc&t=613) is better too; in English he sounds like a gym bro in his late 20s.


MontgomeryRook

People are excited about Matt Mercer as Ganondorf, and I have to wonder if they’ve actually *heard* Matt Mercer as Ganondorf. He does about as good a job with this role as Brennan Lee Mulligan or Griffin McElroy would probably do. It’s pretty much unbearable.


vorlik

the voice director for the english dub is just terrible. everyone sounds like shit (in particular zelda lmao)


Ildiad_1940

Lol didn't realize that was him. The Japanese voice actor seems to be channeling Norio Wakamoto (who would be the perfect va for the role, though I don't know if he's still working these days), and the French one seems to be following his lead.


JustinVanderYacht

The english voice actress bothers me to no end. It was off putting in breath of the wild, where she sounded like angela lansbury in a period drama compared to the relatively standard if slightly formal cutesy japanese voice. In tears of the kingdom she looks 12, sounds 40, and her voice never seems to match the vibe of the scene. Absolutely my least favorite part of open world zeldas.


TheGoldenCaulk

Same, the british accents just don't work for me with this setting. But at least they're not as aggressively posh as, say, Xenoblade though...


bombswell

I have been walking up to my SO playing Zelda saying “is Link…REALLY feeling it??” and “OI WASSAL THIS THEN” because it’s so ridiculous. I loved the musical silence of OOT and haven’t played since.


fiji_monster

Well OOT (and most 3d Zeldas) just has much better sound design across the board. Probably the thing I miss most playing the open world Zeldas.


OmegaTSG

Xenoblade aggressively posh? Have you met Eunie?


[deleted]

[удалено]


JustinVanderYacht

Oh snap that’s gonna be good.


FantasyInSpace

Ganondorf isnt a complicated enough character, he's the king of evil and is evil because being evil is what he is king of.


JustinVanderYacht

I feel like ganondorf is very “there’s always a lighthouse.” I’m okay with him being somewhat one dimensional. He represents the triforce of power so he’s ruthless in his attempts to gain power. I love a tortured villain with a relatable backstory, but not all villains have to be relatable, some can just be villainous.


FantasyInSpace

Oh, i love ganondorf for what he is, its just the VO work is wasted on him.


MontgomeryRook

It isn’t…


Insanepaco247

Nintendo's English voice acting is almost always dogshit. I have no ill will toward the actor, I'm sure she's great, but everything about her performance sounds overbearingly fake, from the accent to the high pitch. I feel like she would have done a much better job if she spoke in her regular voice.


MontgomeryRook

I don’t know whose incompetent nephew was put in charge of casting the VAs for this game. The first thing I did with both games is change the dialogue audio to Japanese. I don’t know if the Japanese voice acting is good, but pretty much anything is better than the English voice acting.


downvote_dinosaur

Sounds Japanese to me

UselessAndGay

the woman on the left is zelda's very, very distant ancestor


Jdamoure

Woman on left is Zelda ancestor and at the time they were all darker skin tones. When you look, every other race in the game has stayed exactly the same visually. But Zelda is the only one of fair skin, and since dark skin is a more dominant trait, it begs the question if everyone in that kingdom look like that and how their appearance changed so much. But to us in the real world we can go, genetics/genetic mutation/mixing dUH


LyrionDD

Also possible she's just heavily tanned. I get pale as fuck when I dont get out for a while, but get darker than Sonia when I get tanned


Just_Give_Me_A_Login

Zelda was inside for 100 years, makes for a pasty complexion


Aok_al

[deleted]

[удалено]


Uruanna_G

A quick search on Youtube gives me two main theories on that. One, they had kids but the kids are irrelevant to the five minutes of screentime we see about the past in the entire game. Two, Nintendo doesn't understand how bloodline can be inherited. There's also another extension of the first theory that says the hybrid kids are too much of a furry abomination that Nintendo wasn't allowed to show them, on pain of raising the age limit of the game to 18+. Who can tell which theory will be confirmed in the next Hyrule Historia.


DeadlyPancak3

My hypothesis is that >!Sonia has a sibling who assumed the throne after she died and Rauru gave his life to imprison Ganondorf. Zelda is actually Sonia's great x 999 niece. She says that they share blood, not that Zelda is her descendent.!<


Uruanna_G

They recognize Zelda having both Sonia's time powers and Rauru's light powers. Mineru doesn't have Rauru's light power, so if Rauru doesn't have kids, presumably his evil-sealing power of light is gone from this world. They have kids.


JeffLeChef

>!Minish Cap!< Zelda has Rauru's ">!light that seals the darkness!<" ability. It fits perfectly into the hyrule historia timeline.

BubblesBubblesCO2

That's an edit. They don't actually say that


Saint_of_Cannibalism

Sadly not.


Likyo

Not really, being dark skinned could just be a trait that got phased out from the family through generations of them having pale partners.


CounterAI2

Who is the character on the left?


Saint_of_Cannibalism

Zelda's distant ancestor, according to other comments. I'm too inde to play Nintendo games myself.

Thank you, I don't really play nintendo games but I think the characters are neat.
