Creepy Zelda Mysteries 🎃

What's really creepy is the fact that Kakariko villagers would drink/use water from the well that may or may not contain leftovers from all the stuff inside the bottom of the well 🤢🤮

I always thought Bongo Bongo’s “eye” was his cut neck

To this day, that darn Ghost Ship is still one of the more daunting things in The Legend of Zelda. It was the one thing I was curious about when going into Phantom Hourglass.

I'm glad someone is finally talking about Bongo Bongo. In my opinion it's just the creepiest boss in OOT bc of the possible backstory. A man who was executed possibly by the Sheikah bc of being an enemy to the Royal Family bc of his ability to see the truth and then turned into a monstrous beast in the said torture chamber.

The stal children could be inspired by the japanese Gashadokuro, a giant skeleton made from regular skeletons, who manifests in places that have mass graves usually from war and starvation. The skeleton eventually disappears when it's energy is used up (which could explain why there are none when Link is an adult) but before they disappear they hunt down any nearby person. They're usually depicted just being a big skeleton, but zelda could just take creative liberties Either that, or there was a race in Hyrule we never saw that was wiped out during the war.

Considering Bongo Bongo, I hadn't really considered it, but you talking about execution and decapitation made me realize that Bongo Bongo's "head" could potentially be the stump of his neck after his head was cut off. Quite the gruesome boss beast.

Fun fact: that scream that you hear on the ghost ship once you open the chest is actually Jabun's unused scream but sped up and higher pitched

For some reason I kinda want a temple in new BOTW game to match the creepiness of the Shadow Temple

"Speaking of unsettling things in Ocarina of time not much compares to bongo bongo" Deadhand: "Am I a joke to you?"

I still remember my first time playing WW… I just finished the second dungeon and was hyped that I could now sail across the whole map so I ignored the main quest for quiet some time until I arrived at Greatfish Isle by mere coincidence. I was shocked to see the island destroyed and decided to look around for something useful. Then I turned around and saw it: the Ghost Ship, highlighted by a perfectly timed lightning strike! That was the first time I saw the Ship and my heart skipped more then just one beat that day… Up to this day, most things in the horror genre do not even come close to that scare the Ghost Ship gave me…😅

Next Video: are boos the ghosts of dead Toads?

I don't think the bottom of the well is an extension of the shadow temple. I think it was part of the house that stood on the well, and was used by the man who had the lens of truth. I also think he was the torturer hired by the royal family (having "an eye that can see the truth" would help with extracting information), that is until his secret is discovered and he's killed. His hands are cut off as a fitting punishment for what he did with them and his eye of truth is hidden in the torture chamber he built below his house and is protected by a well.

Not necessarily a theory, but I think Breath of the Wild would’ve been a lot creepier if instead of having stal variants of monsters, there were skeletons of dead Hyruleans killed by Ganon that climb out of the ground around all the village ruins

Haunting-ly beautiful thumbnail and intro mate! 💪 Super video for Halloween too!!

your intro still remains one of the most polished things I've seen

In regards to Bongo Bongo, back in medieval times, hands were cut off for theft. Also the beat he drums sounds like an execution drumbeat. The muttering we hear from him sounds like "You're gonna die" or something like that to me but can't actually say it because well no head. He may be reliving his own execution.

I love the mystery behind Bongo Bongo- honestly, my favorite theory on him is that he was a Sheikah who did work for the Royal Family during the war- interrogation work. With his ability to ‘see’ what others couldn’t, he was a stellar interrogator. But when the war was over and Hyrule wanted to hide its bloody deeds, Bongo Bongo was executed. The lens of truth may have been made from one of his eyes (hence the boss only having one eye left) and it’s possible his hands were removed to keep him from continuing his torturous work in the life beyond. A handful of this theory is conjecture to connect bits, but it’s one I still greatly enjoy.

If you really think about it, the Stalchildren could just be the dead children who tried to escape Hyrule like Link but ended up getting killed in the conflict - makes you think how lucky Link really had it

The fact bongo bongo has the lense of truth (a shieka artifact) and he is missing his hands there is a strong indication that he stole it from the tribe. Theft was often punished with limbs being removed in some medieval cultures. I'd say it's a pretty concrete theory that he was once human.

Here's an interesting theory about the Stalchildren: What if they were a race that was wiped out completely during the Hyrule Civil War and now haunt the field at night seeking revenge.
