Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
Not sure if this was intentional or not, but given these are my two hyperfixations, hello overlap between genshin impact and legend of zelda lore
A thing I noticed about the Zelda timeline is following
Phanes is a being who embodies everything (not Zelda lore but Greek mythology lol the fates exist in Zelda and they are Greek mythology characters so l guess )
Also the heavenly principles in my opinion are pretty great to differentiate between what is above mortals and what isn’t
Every being that can evade at least one of its laws and see beyond the bounds it set is technically a god like being
Because what is above mortality other then godhood
The heavenly laws are life, death , space and time if you can give the middle finger to it you should be above a mortal being
Like already said you need one law broken to be able to break all others even if by technicality or theory
Hylia is a very good example like she is above the concept of space as she keeps spawning as Zelda but not her true self which still exists along with Zelda (because if not what the heck is answering when we visit a hylia statue lol)
Being able to infinity respawn as Zelda puts her above life and death by technicality and being able to respawn through time as often as needed puts her theoretically above time
Wind fish another example as it from what we saw is timeless (being able to appear whenever timeline if we count phantom hourglass and Hyrule warriors whale god as the same entity) being above time means being above life and death and space gets ignored via sheer technicality
Who cares about the concept of space if you can freely travel through it and appear at any point
Also lana and cia who as time guardians obviously have to be above time as well and if they can open portals whenever they ignore space as well and obviously they couldn’t have possibly been around since the beginning if they aren’t capable of breaking life and death
Demise same as hylia is beyond space and death and the rest is a necessity to even be above the first two concepts
Then there is Null as well who is beyond space as well and therefore timeless and above life and death by nature of the first two
And while those beings are still all mostly capable of being destroyed or hindered
Hylia and demise literally are just playing chess and the pawns are the heroes or villains and the playing field is the timeline they don’t really can be truly killed perhaps a bit hindered by eachother but not killed
Null was destroyed by the triforce because it literally couldn’t be defeated any other way
The gods of the Zelda universe are interesting
