![]() ![]() ![]() If we ended up riding that motorbike that they apparently discarded, there's nothing preventing us from thinking that our Hero lost that limb and the magic took care of its "recovering". Let's not forget that one of the first few ideas Nintendo considered when designing Breath of the Wild was having a one-armed Link whose second arm had turned into a handy multi-tool to explore Hyrule. For, who could possibly ever stop Ganon if he finally was able to control the Master Sword? Possibly, its goal was to protect the princess first and foremost, but in the end had to let her aside to help the Hero and prevent it from falling into Evil's claws. This would explain the Seal (the arm) keeping Ganondorf contained seeing its effect diluted. Perhaps, at the beginning of BotW 2, Link presents himself partially cursed by the Malice that reacted to his very presence, attacking him. Perhaps that Hero was Link, a Link who would eventually end up absorbed by the Calamity to then be gradually transformed into his reincarnation. Besides, it's nothing new to think that the Hero who stopped Ganon more than 10,000 years ago in Hyrule didn't look much like the Link we're used to and that, indeed, he also shared some traits with the figure of Ganondorf, above all with the red-haired mane. But what do they mean? There might be a significant connection between both characters beyond the hero-villain tandem. These similarities, these differences can't be random. ![]() More so, they look like the ones wore by the arm that was holding the buried body our protagonists uncovered in the first teaser in 2019. However, in Link's case, the upper limb comes equipped with a series of bracelets and attached devices, which look similar to Ganondorf, but aren't quite the same. Both arms look darkened, with longer-than-usual nails, quite reminiscent of wild claws. Why? The likeness in the attires between this new version of Link and what seems to be the villain are pretty clear now that we got the chance to take a closer look at both characters. So there's the possibility that the "mummy" (which we'll call Ganondorf for obvious reasons) wasn't there for the princess, but for the blade and its bearer. Yeah, we've seen that things aren't going fine underground and that the Malice ends up attacking the protagonist, which has an effect on the exact same arm that was wielding the Master Sword. ![]()
