This is the single illustration of the ancient Interlopers that we have pretty much at all. It’s from the Twilight Princess manga. The Interlopers, or the Dark Interlopers as they’re sometimes called, were powerful magic users who tried to take control of the Sacred Realm and were subsequently banished. Banished to the Twilight Realm.
The Interlopers became the Twili. And I think the Zonai were the Interlopers.
We don’t know much about the Zonai, but we do know two things: They were “strong magic wielders” (from the Zelda fandom wiki), and they disappeared. The stories match.
And honestly, what better way to subvert the theme of an endless cycle of light versus dark than to explore the people who discovered the in-between?
the zelda team somehow managed to one up breath of the wild in the most insane way possible like that new trailer rlly showed us how much work & effort was put into this new game and it was only a smidge of what we're truly gonna see when we play the game. fucking insane.
29 Days until Tears of the Kingdom Release. GUYYYYYYSSS THE LAST TRAILER IS OUT AND I’M SCREAMING. IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL AND INCREDIBLE AND THE SOUNDTRACK IS AMAZING AND THERE ARE DEFINITELY THINGS I DID NOT SEE COMING AND I’M SO HYPED I NEED THIS GAME NOW. Expect some analysis in the near future once because WOW.
