The ironic thing is that the very thing keeping Zelda from unlocking her sealing power was the very person pushing her to learn them, her father. You learn by reading his journal that he grew to feel incredibly guilty for this, putting his role as a king above that of a father. He intended to change his approach when she returned from the spring if she failed, comforting her instead of scolding. Unfortunately, he never got this chance, and he had done this from the beginning it never would have happened.
"they are then rudely interrupted by the apocalypse" What a glorious sentence
this was proven in age of calamity, when zelda unlocked her sealing power earlier because she tried to protect link out of love earlier. her powers helped seal away ganon in that timeline
There was a theory that this is, in fact, the very reason that Calamity Ganon awakened at that specific time: to prevent Mipha from finishing her sentence and thus to leave Zelda unprepared to handle the Calamity. Although it is essentially living Malice, Calamity Ganon still has some degree of sentience and/or instinct, and may have been able to sense that the greatest threat to its existence was about to rise up.
This is why you don’t interrupt people. Otherwise it will end up destroying the world.
Sure Mipha could have finished her sentence but would Zelda have been ready to listen at that point? It wasn’t until after all the struggles she went through with Link and actually see him sacrifice himself for her, not out of duty but of genuine care for her wellbeing, that she even knew what her feelings actually were. That is when was ready to sacrifice herself for Link in return in the ultimate act of love. If Mipha finished her sentence who knows. It might have confused Zelda even more. She might have even gotten embarrassed and felt pressured to feel things she wasn’t ready to feel yet. Love can’t be forced. Her powers unlocked at the very moment she was ready to love Link.
I think that it was a courage act. (Its all theory) I think she has the full triforce, but she has wisdom, power, but no courage. She have fear, cause her power "dont work". When she had the courage to protect Link, she "activate" the whole triforce.
Been loving these takes lately. Great catch in this detail
ALL SHE HAD TO DO WAS NOT STUTTER AT THE END!!!!! YOU HAD ONE JOB, ONE JOB
I dunno ... there's a huge difference between hearing someone say you should feel a certain way, and actually felling it.
If the calamity was prevented, and Ganon was defeated before he could’ve become a true threat, we would’ve possibly ended up with a love triangle between Link, Mipha and Zelda then.
Mipha: I want to marry Link Zelda: LINK LOOK AT MEEEEEZ LOVE MEEEE Mipha: I guess... I guess that... 😢
This is actually so interesting, one line could've made a difference
To prevent the calamity 100 years ago was easy, just give the controll of link to a speedrunner and he will beat calamity ganon on his underwear and with a tree stick
I guess love will strengthen a lost heart really
I also assumed she was talking about Link since she said it was embarrassing to admit
If Nintendo ever wanted to make another timeline split, they could do it with this (other than Hyrule Warriors Age of the Holonuts)
Tldr, if Zelda wasn't a tsundere she would have awakened the Triforce way sooner.
Mipha is just the goat we all love her she deserves to be Alice with link instead of Zelda
