A Zonai-Dragon Theory

So I’ve been riding dragons around in Tears of the Kingdom to gather materials and to learn about their flight paths, and I noticed an interesting thing about... of all things... the dragons’ ears.

Take a look at the ears on Naydra...

on Farosh...

and on Dinraal...

Those are some big and long ears relative to the sizes of the dragons’ heads. Now, this might not be noteworthy on first glance, but think about who else have big ears in Tears of the Kingdom...

The Zonai. Yes, I propose that the three dragons: Dinraal, Farosh, and Naydra were once Zonai.

If we take the two we’ve seen in TotK, namely Rauru and Mineru, as representative of the Zonai race as a whole, then we have a good idea of how their people probably appear. Large ears might’ve been very common for their people.

Add to this the fact that the Zonai are tied closely to dragons in their architecture throughout the sky, surface, and the depths. Their culture would have to be tied to it as well if their architecture reflected it, and this is reinforced by what Mineru tells us of their taboo of dragonification.

And a taboo typically results from some event or incident that formed a cultural opinion on it. There had to be a time or event where one or more Zonai swallowed their secret stones and became dragons.

In a previous theory I wrote, I noted that it’s likely these three dragons are very old and potentially tied toward the origins of the world, especially with their names reflecting the Three Triforce Goddesses: Nayru, Farore, and Din. As Mineru tells us in-game, “Long ago, my people, known as the Zonai, came from the heavens to the surface of the worlds. It was said they were the descendants of gods...”

We already know the Zonai existed in an age so long ago, it’s become known as the “Age of Legend.” And through Tears of the Kingdom’s Memory 7, the Zonai are implied to have existed much further back than the threat of Ganondorf.

With their existence so far back in the timeline, the Zonai’s cultural connection to dragons, and being the only ones seen with ready access to secret stones (besides ones stolen or bequeathed from them), it’s not hard to imagine the most likely candidates for people to become dragons in those ancient times are none other than the Zonai themselves.

Adding another potential piece of evidence to this theory is the tragic case of Princess Zelda.

Zelda, known as the Light Dragon to those who have completed the memory chain in TotK, has features that do match the other three dragons: scales, a long mouth, a strange set of eyes, and a long body peppered with crystalline spikes.

But take a look at the Light Dragon’s ears...

Compared to the ears of the other dragons, they’re not quite as long in relation to the size of her head. They’re also a bit sharper and more tapered than the others.

This reflects Zelda’s humanoid appearance, as her ears are far less prominent that Rauru’s or Mineru’s and presumably other Zonai.

What’s more, the Light Dragon (at least to my eye) appears a bit smaller than the other dragons, reflecting her shortness of stature next to Zonai such as Rauru.

Much of this theory is speculation, but I feel like there’s a number of connections, aesthetic and cultural, that tie the Zonai to these three dragons.

And who knows, maybe I’m not even going back far enough in this theory for the real truth: that the dragons are three Triforce Goddesses draconified. If that’s the case, maybe the Zonai reflect the true form of the Goddesses who gave this world their form... if Mineru is indeed correct and they are descended from gods.

But that’s a theory for another day...
