More, more, we must have more of the fun and delight with adorkable Zelda. Some of the previous answers lead to more questions, after all.

Surprised you guys aren't discussing what was in the update. Who knows what you missed.

Update analysis, you say? In approximate order...
Childhood trauma causing forgetting. Hmmmm.
On a horse with Impa covered in blood. Why do I have a funny feeling Zelda both doesn't want to know and will eventually need to know what happened? Rode the horse to collapse. Not sure if that's ridden-to-death (horses do that).
I'm sure there's other stuff, but those two jump out at me. I mean, obviously spring of power, but just as obviously we don't know where it is.

Well the Impa and horse scene reminds me of Ocarina of Time. Oh shoot, did we miss getting the magical instrument? Shoot. Also, childhood trauma... Maybe the same thing that killed Link's mom? Because I don't think she died naturally. Maybe an illness (plauge) or attack of some sort.

No I believe the childhood trauma is... you know, what she just talked about with the insanity and the depression and the madness when she was ejected from the castle by the Empire/rebels at the time? That stuff? Pretty sure that's it.
That statement is both saying they just have trouble remembering their childhood due to significant trauma in it, Zelda's... well, what I just said, and yes Link's mother's death.
And we do know that she died from some kind of illness, possibly the plague.
Pretty sure it was Impa that rode the horse to death to escape the regicide and the Nemesis moving in.
I think the main thing we should focus on is that Zelda hasn't had the best time mentally and even now questions her own mental state due to the trauma and the expectations forced upon her.
As for votes we should keep voting for calling it a night; this no doubt took a lot out of her.
Both their mothers died in the Typhoid epidemic.
Link's father deteriorated in a combination of that and finding out about the Regicide and then died a year later which left Link to fend for himself in the wilderness at 11.
Zelda survived a regicide and an invading army toppling her kingdom overnight combined with insanity and depression.
While it won't really come up she was already severely ill due to typhoid fever but she and her ladies in waiting were basically wading in cholera and typhoid infected water.
None of them died well.

Well... shit, this got dark quick.
Now what if this plague was actually germ warfare?
Well, you don't need much to start cholera and/or typhoid epidemics.
Sewage and/or corpses dumped into water supplies can start an outbreak or make it persist.

And I imagine the Yiga would be pretty well read on this. I mean they are adept at poison given their use on Zelda, and they do come from a ninja tribe with lots of magitech.
You know are Sheikah Hylians? Impa lives to like 150ish given Purah de-aged herself when she was in her 70s and that was before the calamity. That doesn't seem normal, but Impa is special.
Skyward Sword's Impa was THOUSANDS of years old when she died.

But that is Skyward and this is Breath of the Wild which may not play by the same rules. Also Skyward Impa cheats by being goddess blessed in a way Breath of he Wild Impa is not.
Interesting. When I made that post, I was thinking about how in the instruction manual for Link to the Past, Hyrule was suffiering from plague and drought before Agahnim stopped it with his powers.
The implication was that he caused it in the first place.
Incidentially, if an Agahnim shows up I will be very confused.

I would be exceedingly confused because Agahnim is very closely connected with Ganon (alter ego? pawn?).
Exactly. And yet I can't shake the thought that it could happen.

Ganondorf has an army at his beck and call even if he did refuse the throne. The same could be said for the Zora, Rito, and Gorons, Not to mention the Koroks who are literally everywhere and since only certain people could see them would make excellent spies as they could probably bounce on the table of a random meeting of enemy generals and not be seen at all and all the while the plans that the enemy could be making would wind up in the ears of the Hyrulian resistance. So yes I do think that we could kick the empire out if we did things right and restore Zelda to her rightful throne.

This isn't the time for that, though. Zelda mental stability needs to be in, y'know, double digit positive numbers rather than decimals or negatives. Travel, gather stability and trust...Koroks could be a good first bit though, asking them to work as something of a spy network would be interesting. Even the knowledge that certain individuals among the Empire could see them would be worthwhile.
