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)

Did you know? The title of Telethia the Endbringer in #XenobladeX uses the same term (終焉) as Demise in Skyward Sword. The first kanji is also used for the Sword(s) of the End in #Xenoblade 3 #Zeldablade (this one may just be a common thing in japanese, though)

#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.

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)

Does anyone else think it's weird that #Xenoblade avoids certain terms in arts like "jump attack" (back slash), "hookshot" (anchor shot), "spin attack" (double spinning edge) or "light arrows" (sacred arrow). Even an area name like Fairylight Fount (from FR) could be "Fairy Fountain" #Zeldablade

#Zeldablade: On the Trinity and the virtues (thread):
The Trinity processor cores were originally arranged in a triangular way. If you're familiar with the christian trinity, you'd expect this to correlate to the Shield of the Trinity, but interestingly it seems like it doesn't line up.

#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?

#Zeldablade: I suspect the Merigna from #Xenoblade 3 may be a common ancestor between the sea and river Zora from #Zelda

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

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?

#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.

from a #Zeldablade point of view, it's interesting to see how Animus-related abilities are almost always used by the villains (Ganondorf needs to tranform into Ganon, after all) and Anima is only really seen artifacts such as rods and the Triforce. This will likely be explored in #XenobladeGenesis.

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)

Extra notes about Corvin: he's wearing what looks like an early version of the Leukos uniform Eleanor has been shown wearing. His 2-weapon gimmick would probably have involved a Light and a Dark weapon, due to his design (TP reference?). Anyways, peak #Zeldablade in #XenobladeGenesis energy.

#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).

Now, this may be interesting from a #Zeldablade point of view. First, let's assume the sage elements also follow this pattern. Then, the Chamber of Sages shows six such elements surrounding the triforce (which would likely represent Da'ath) (this pattern also holds for the master sword's pedestal)

#Zeldablade: on the nature of "demons" and the Endless Now of Hyrule
Demons in Zelda seem to come from cracks in the ground, notably (but not necesarily exclusively) Ganon pre-WW, Demise's forces from SS and the Dephts from TotK.

#Zeldablade: The original 7 sages:
I suspect the "seven sages" originally referred to the 7 head minds behind the Origin project, at least three (very likely four) of whom are shown in a flashback in Xenoblade 3. That is, there are 3 sages from Bionis and 4 from Alrest.
