I really like the idea of there being a weird merging of time periods (warping the past into the present) or being able to utilized isolated situations to switch between time periods as opposed to just flat out your typical time travel game, but how would that work realistically?
I’ve been thinking about the cause and effect of Ganondorf being sealed for 30,000 years give or take a 100 years. Specifically the Arms ability, which is pretty much a given to be Raurus’, to hold him in place for that long and what type of spell is being used to keep Ganndorf from reincarnating.
The possible cause:
We already know the arm posses the ability to stop the momentum of an innate object and return it to its original position, as well as return a static inanimate object back to its original position as seen in the trailers. There is a few seconds where time pauses before the object returns onto or back from its original path.
Nothing new here to really discuss, except we don’t know the effect this power from the arm would have on a living being.
As I mentioned before I believe Basket Lady is either the embodiment or Goddess of the cycle of Life, Death and Rebirth and it is the combination of both Rauru and Basket Ladies power that is able to first hold Ganondorf in place, by Rauru, right at the moment where he is neither dead or alive so he cannot reincarnate by basket Lady.
She may have had to have been sacrificed willingly in order to ensure Ganondorf could not reincarnate or Ganondorf might have killed her or tried to take her spirit in an attempt to break Demises curse but Rauru managed to hold him in place instead.
Regardless of how it was done as this is just speculation, so what would the effect be of either gradually breaking the Arms ability to hold Ganondorf in place for 30,000 years or have it happen suddenly as if he were reincarnated?
Some possible effects out of many:
A. Upon breaking the seal from the Arms power Ganondorf or his Spirit is returned back to its original state, 30,000 years ago at the time of his sealing so Demises hatred can be reincarnated. I know this is crazy, but that is essentially what the Power of the arm does which is to return an object back to its original position.
This would explain so much of what we are seeing in the trailers. If Ganondorf has a chance to recreate history, the present world of Hyrule would or could be dramatically different. There would have never been a Calamity, therefore no Sheikah tech as we know it, The great Deku tree could be in entirely different location and a million other possible outcomes could have occurred in the past 30,000 years and we as a player are just witnessing the final result. We would have to travel back in time to different time periods to find out what happened and or stop Ganondorf along the way.
Most likely Rauru would know the future as well now, so similar to how the Sheikah monks created trials for the Champion, Rauru would have planned out this inevitable outcome and left clues along the way for Link to discover, the Glyphs or underwater temples etc. on how to defeat Ganondorf in the present.
Or perhaps Link is also transported back into time at this point along with Ganondorf because he has absorbed the energy the Arm at this exact moment.
B. The effect of Gannondorf waking up or breaking the seal might actually warp time itself if he is suddenly reincarnated into the present instead of the past 30,000 years ago. Kind of like a Rubber band snapping back into place after it’s been twisted or had tension put on it, for 30,000 years. Somewhat like a time loop theory, but fragmented into a combination of the past and the present all in present time at the point of Ganondorfs death and rebirth. This would be how we get all technologies of the Zonai and Sheikah at the same time but warped or infused together, why some structures look like they are new and others are still worn and a combination of both. The combination of structures and materials possibilities are endless, and we would either be fixing them or putting them back into their respective time periods or creating new combinations from them.
I think 97% of this may be way off base, but it helps me to visual a possible solution to what we are seeing in the trailers. I wanted to include a lot more ideas and examples of "effect" as pretty much anything can be explained from this example, so that is why I think we are in for something similar along these lines because it leaves the Developers completely open to do anything they want.
