YouTube really really hurt small channels with all their changes. My residual daily views are almost near zero now.

Thank goodness I’m in it for the things I can make and share. My story isn’t unique.

I’ve officially hand modeled custom Tarot cards for the first thumbnail. These two videos represent the deepest most impactful lore theories I’ve ever made.

I’ve cut out the names because I’m not going to give oxygen to these losers since they depend on notoriety for rage farming.

If you’re going down a path where you feel the need to bully another person because you can’t cope with reality, maybe stop and reflect on your life.

All the same guy.

I might actually do a video on the forensic reconstruction of this place. It was a doozy

I did a few renders of the exterior of the Ancient Cistern. For reasons…

In case you thought I was done, I am not. Tobio’s Hollow becomes the best spot for the Ancient Cistern. In the Japanese game, that location actually translates to Ancient Cavern, which objectively is exactly what it is. This is *chefs kiss* 👩‍🍳👌 good. Kloktos guarding a facility right over top of the

When we look at this, it works pretty well if Necluda was once part of Faron. It should have been but we don’t know for sure. Ash Swamp as the Great Tree basin works wonderfully. The dive spot over Floria Falls works, and Fort Hateno as the Faron viewing platform. It makes me as if modern

This is what it would look like to get the mountain, Eldin, the temple view of the great tree, and the corrections to the deep woods in the same shot!
November 23, 2024 at 11:50 PM
Ultimately though, this is still not quite right. We can see Eldin Volcano to the north-northeast outside the Sealed Grounds and to the northeast in Faron Woods. In reality the correct map is probably a mixture. The rough orientation of the correct and rotated map is very close,
November 23, 2024 at 11:31 PM
If we look at an orientation accurate version of the Ocarina map, we can see that the rough path from the Temple of Time to the Kokiri Forest matches more closely with the rotated and corrected Skyward map.
November 23, 2024 at 11:22 PM
To that end, we need to consider what the lore tells us too. The temple of time was built over the ruins of the sealed temple, specifically the temple of time in castle town in Ocarina of Time. It faces west to east, so let’s flip the corrected map to make that match.
November 23, 2024 at 11:17 PM
With corrections, the real map should look something like this in terms of rough layout.
November 23, 2024 at 10:56 PM
To illustrate, here are the maps of Faron Woods and the underwater cave and the path you actually take to get the Ancient Cistern. You can probably spot the issue here. Ancient Cistern should be due west of the tree, not to the south west.
November 23, 2024 at 10:45 PM
It doesn’t stop there though! The underwater cave leading to the Ancient Cistern is shown to the left of the dive point in Faron Woods. That’s not actually correct either. You enter the underwater serpentine cave under the platform. Faron’s Lair is actually directly beneath the Great Tree
November 23, 2024 at 10:39 PM
The deep woods are shown as a northern turn on the official map. That cannot be though. For the same mountain to be visible in both maps means that the Deep Woods should be oriented heading west away from the Great Tree, not north.
November 23, 2024 at 10:36 PM
Faron Woods isn’t much better here. To the south we can see the large mountain and the waterfalls slightly to the west there. The same mountain can be spotted from the deep woods. I’ve included the viewing angle from in-game. For those of you that know the map, you can see what’s happening here…
November 23, 2024 at 10:36 PM
First things first. The great tree is not actually due west on the map, it shows it to the west-northwest.
November 23, 2024 at 10:36 PM
This is a pretty map but it bothers me enormously because of the considerable amount of issues in the layout. Let’s take a look 🗺️

We need to address this casserole of nonsense soon
