In a plot sense, Hyrule would be the world created after the end of xenoblade 3 (or if we take what's said in Echoes of Wisdom seriously, a place to hold ghosts/gnosis while the worlds merge back)
#Xenoblade 1 thought: What if the reason for High Entia not being able to revert from becoming Telethia is that the Telethia form is the actual base form, and the High Entia is the transformed state? In particular, it seems like Anima/Ether related powers can undo changes done by Animus (see Nia)

Oh, so "nostalgia" was meant to have a more specific meaning than what was translated as, then? (seriously, every day a new potential inspiration appears. It would be nice if Nintendo mentioned artistic inspirations at least one during their existance)
Scratching my head over influencers calling OOT Link “AI” and Epona “yassified”. It seems stemming from a lack of art critique vocabulary or limited frame of reference outside of pop culture.
Apart from OOT being a pun on ceramic ocarina, Aonuma said that the visual is to evoke nostalgia (懐かしさ).

I keep wondering if "Monado: Beginning of the World" was meant to mean "Master Sword: Creation of Hyrule" (which fits with both the game and the trilogy after it was changed) and was changed to #Xenoblade after Aonuma (not Iwata) decided the ending (connection to Zelda) was too complex #Zeldablade

Today's #NintendoDirect went way better, but I have to wonder why didn't they move the announcement of the AoC port to the Zelda direct

this is an interesting perspective from imamura
i also assumed it was mostly meant to look puppet-like, but it's nice to have an opinion from someone who actually knows the man

I think this is a neat take on why the remake looks like that. I still feel the mixture of inspirations for the artstyle of different characters lends to the character design feeling aimless and inconsistent, and the lack of deep changes to the story/gameplay makes the game feel pointless.

Zelda aniversary #NintendoDirect thoughts: First, I thought they would say more about the movie and have a third "big thing" (new game, MTG set, #Zeldablade confirmation...) instead of what we've got, which is a OoT direct with some fluff at the beginning (the fluff isn't the issue, though)

Quick pre- #NintendoDirect #Zeldablade thought: if the creature shown in this frame of the #XenobladeGenesis trailer is likely to be some kind of "Animus Beast/Demon", wouldn't a hypothetical "Animus Imp" look just like Midna?

My (probably far out) prediction for the Zelda Nintendo Direct is that the "one more thing" will be an anouncement of a Zelda JRPG... called #XenobladeGenesis (yes, I'll be on that train until there's definite proof otherwise)

#Zeldablade: Setting and cast for a (totally hypothetical) crossover RPG:
My prefered idea for a Zelda Xenoblade game is that of a game that takes place in the "era of the Flood", that is, the time inmediately before "the goddesses" flood Hyrule in the WW backstory.

Well, my last thread was cooking for a looong time. I hope @luxin-xeno.bsky.social takes a look at it.

#Xenoblade: On Anima and Animus
In the first trailer for #XenobladeGenesis the term Anima was used to refer to what I suspect is a "higher tier" version of Ether. In this (long) thread I intend to examine the uses of Anima and (the clearly suspected) Animus in Xenoblade

#SplatoonRaiders spoilers (that I subjected myself into), but I think the final boss of that game maps well into the #XenobladeGenesis tree of life theory... and the coloration for it might make it fit with *my* version in particular ( #Zeldablade). Should check the briny scrolls to be sure, though.

Just finished watching @luxin-xeno.bsky.social's video on fate in Xenoblade, and the stuff he talks about (specially on the back end of the video) lines up with how I see the virtues of the Triforce manifesting on #Zeldablade (in particular Courage, but Noah and Mio's bond is 100% Power)

I've just found out about @maxnichols.bsky.social's @hyruleinterviews.bsky.social. Looks like a good resource on Zelda (and some general Nintendo) interviews.

I originally thought Dagas from #XenobladeCronicles 2 was a blade eater turned into a blade; but now I wonder if he was always meant to be a Veselai from #XenobladeGenesis whose Crystone data somehow ended up in Alrest's Blade system.

#Xenoblade: On "light" and Anima
The element of light (and to a lesser extent darkness) is a weird one in Xenoblade. In this "essay" I will put forth the idea that it's not an element of ether, and instead pure, unrefined anima (an thus ether is anima refined into elements)

#Zeldablade: On a potential inspiration for Eleanor (Elly?):
This will sound crazy, but I suspect Eleanor from #XenobladeGenesis may be an incarnation of Link; mostly inspired by the oldschool games. If so, Monolith may be giving us a girl Link before the Zelda team (who probably never would).

#Xenoblade: Evidence #Splatoon may take place in the ruins of Klaus's Earth:
First: the description of the "liquid crystals" in Splatoon 3 brings into mind Core Crystals from Xenoblade 2; which would explain most of the weirdness of the setting (ink/octolings are basically blades)

#Xenoblade Genesis theory on the shape of the Anshar: the spherical shape of Anshar may be meant to resemble a sephirah (plural sephirot, not the FF7 one). If so, it's likely there are 10 such spheres in Xenoblade Genesis's world (though one of them may be the outside). I wonder what Da'ath will be.

#Zeldablade: on the nature of "demons" and the Endless Now of Hyrule

#Zeldablade: On the Triforce:
So, assuming a connection between Zelda and Xenoblade, the biggest questions is that of the nature of the Triforce, a divine artifact that can grant any wish. Why does the Triforce exist? Why is the restriction on having the virtues and not for a "good" wish?
