I think at the end of the day, after listening to and reading breakdowns of TotK and writing a few myself, its worst sin remains that it made you feel stupid for ever caring.

Based on that late game quest 👭This is how you impress a girl!! _ Tri: What does it mean to rob someone? Zelda: Taking another person's things by force Tri: I see... But, isn't that what we've been doing? Zelda: Yeah Tri: I see...

hi! so like, i unfortunately feel like i don't really remember all the ideas i was having about it the first time i was playing totk and will try to recall them, but i had a bunch of different theories i was crafting throughout, and the main one i had was essentially just Sonia kind of secretly being on Ganondorf's side/or having her own secret agenda. (which, if she was working with Ganondorf, it's kind of debatable if that's really "evil" at this point tbh considering everything, but taking the game at its extremely face value of very black and white "good vs bad", we're gonna just say evil 🙄)

ok so, i started forming this theory very early on in my playthrough obviously. i had gotten the first maybe 4 memories in chronological order because i had noticed the game's really bad attempt at telling you, unlike a lot of other unfortunate players (seriously, i know a bunch of people have already talked about it to death, but i even played through this game twice, differently both times, just to see what it was like, and the game design with the memories is just so atrociously bad, it is ridiculous).

so i think i formed a lot of my general theory around the idea of before the game first came out and a lot of people, myself included, were talking about and theorizing for years since the first botw2 trailer (that's a different game we never got, i fear), and how the ancient hero in the tapestry looks more like Ganondorf, not Link, and maybe history was twisted or whatever, etc etc, Hyrulean Royal family propaganda, whatever.

with this context in mind, basically i was really holding onto the idea of this game actually delving into the idea of showing/talking about how the Royal Family isn't necessarily all "pure" and "good" all the time, as we see that kind of stuff very heavily hinted at in older games like Ocarina of Time with everything about the Shadow Temple and whatnot.

in the memory where Ganondorf pledges allegiance to Rauru, and Sonia, despite being right there and even talked about?? if i remember correctly. (Ganondorf saying something like "You've married a Hyrulean woman" or something like that, i don't remember), she just. says nothing. 😭 the whole time. even after Ganondorf leaves and Zelda comes up to talk, Sonia still says absolutely nothing and it was just weird/suspicious to me dkgjdkjbdkd (if only because i was holding onto my theory at the time, so i was reading into things i guess <//3)

ok so after that i think is the memory with Sonia teaching Zelda more about Recall and she starts asking about Link. now, again, i was forming my whole theory during this time still and reading into things, but i thought she was asking about Link and being so interested because... she wanted something about him. which i feel i might have been thinking about stuff with Hylia/SS type lore at the time too, i tbh can't fully remember <//3 (and then how Rauru also joins in on the convo and seems very interested in Link too, but in a very "oh, a legendary hero..." type of way, idk, it just seemed very "we're going to take advantage of this individual for our own personal ends" the first time i was playing it 😭 i was extremely suspicious of Rauru too from the start, but it seemed to go nowhere, oh well

also when you first see 'Zelda' towards the beginning of the game at Hyrule Castle in totk and clearly something is very off about her (we know now it's just Puppet Zelda, and not even written in an interesting way 🙄). i remember i was really thinking maybe it was actually Sonia, but maybe still Zelda's body, kind of like she possessed her or whatever, so she could travel to the present time or something like that. sadly, once i got more memories and kept progressing, it became increasingly clear none of that type of stuff was happening 😭

this whole thing is probably extremely jumbled and rambly, and i'm not sure if it all even makes much sense, sorry 😭 i wish i could remember more clearly my train of thought while i was first playing it, because i really did feel like i was crafting something good, but then the game just was so basic and uninteresting as hell 😭😭 maybe it was very wishful thinking, but i just thought the whole idea would have been a perfect opportunity to really show there was some corruption in the royal family at times 😭 (Especially if it was the woman who was a priestess who could possibly do no wrong UwU, like all the women in the royal family over the years (aka Zelda).

the only thing that can save Age of Imprisonment is if they make the bold and sexy move of making my original Evil Sonia theory come true
