Breath of the Wild’s PERPLEXING Image - An Unsolved Mystery? (Zelda Theory)

It's missing in the game because Link is repressing this memory

It's clearly just link trying to use the shadow possession jutsu

my theory: the picture is just game developers messing around and forgetting to take it out of the files

Link got access to the internet and now he's been non stop watching anime with Zelda now they have a problem

Dev's: Makes inside joke Internet: WE NEED ANSWERS!

They're just goofing off. Link is pretending to be a Yiga. It's a fun selfie.

Fun fact, if you take a picture of the final memory while in the hut, you will actually pull out your Sheikah Slate and look at it when you find the spot. While if you don't do that you will just think hard then the cutscene will start. Know this because on my first playthrough I did this.

What if Purah told link she could teach him how to teleport like the Yiga, and Zelda’s just sneaking up to prank him further, and purah had the slate ready to catch the moment

I only know this image because of the meme “Zelda stand back I’m going to jutsu this dude” “hear THAT? He’s gonna JUTSU you! What are you gonna do about it?

It's a picture of Link using the Shadow Clone Jutsu to have a shadow clone take a picture of him and Zelda post-game, after the entranceway to the Great Plateau was cleared and Zelda did a ritual to purify the Temple of Time. This is just them goofing off afterwards.

Link: shadow clone jutsu!zelda: true wind style rasenshuriken

What if it was a "new memory" that was going to be in a cutscene of Link and Zelda at the end, just goofing off after beating Ganon? It would help Link's outfit make sense, even if Zelda's doesn't quite fit

Link hitting the fattest “BOI” of his life and Zelda is like “DO IT”

wait WHAT!?! I always thought this was a fake image for a meme! 🤣🤣

Now that Age of Calamity has come out, Link's pose here actually reminds me of Impa's special attack. Which makes me wonder if maybe this is his using a similar attack or power?

Everyone: gives insane theory Me: isn’t the thing he is doing with his hands the animation when you whistle for a horse

I like that picture, it looks like they are just messing around

The Breath of the Wild sequel should start with this exact scene happening.

Honestly I suspect this was just a memory that was scrapped, the Wild set is obviously a reference to the way Link dressed in previous games, its not unrealistic to say he would have access to them before the calamity. Its also possible that the armor and pose was just a placeholder while they worked on the actual memory, before ultimately scrapping it. Zelda looks like shes playing around or having fun, possibly sneaking up on Link while hes training in his more casual clothes. I suspect this scene would have existed to show a more lighthearted side of their relationship, which is noticeably absent in most of their other memories. Its also possible that this image shows Link and Zelda together to demonstrate the self portrait feature, which I find it hard to believe Zelda would never have used...

“Zelda stand back” “OIROKE NO JUTSU” “LINK WTF”
