The Reason Hyrule Hasn’t Been Rebuilt By The Time TOTK Starts

According To Creating A Champion

As it flex out , Nintendo provides an official reason regarding why Hyrule has n’t been rebuiltyet , and only bear witness the former signs of rebuilding inTOTK . The answer is detect in the book , Creating A Champion , and it actually makes a lot of horse sense . make A Championgoes over the making ofBOTW , and one part include a mention of Fort Hateno , explain why it has n’t been rebuilt over the hundred years when Link was asleep . The answer comes in the form of multiple issues that ended up making rebuild not an option for , specifically , Fort Hateno .

There are multiple factors that come together to explicate Hyrule ’s lack of rebuilding , as mentioned inCreating A Champion . First and first , people skilled in stonemasonry diedwhen the Guardians were advance , along with their knowledge of bushel stone building . Not only that , butthe people who survivedfocused on bide alive and attempt to put their life back togetherinstead of trying to fix Harlan Stone buildings they had no knowledge of how to repair . Even if they had the knowledge , they would n’t have the resources or money needed for such a project .

Hyrule’s Future & How It Will Rebuild

It Won’t Be The Same

With the stonemasons dead and their knowledge gone , the people of Hyrule are n’t able to rebuild stone buildings or indemnify them . It ’s potential that they ’ll visualize out stonemasonry again in the hereafter , as the cognition had to be figured out in the past as well . But for now , it face likewood is going to be the stuff of choice when it get to building . This is already seen inTOTKatLookout Landing , where practically every construction is made of Mrs. Henry Wood , except for the lower area that uses an area carve into stone rather than build from it . Plus , dealing with other issues has still taken priority in Hyrule .

As a sequel , Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom needed to explain why Link would n’t have his persuasiveness from BOTW , and it put a twist on tradition to do so .

This brings up the interesting idea of a new Hyrule Castle made entirely of woodwind , and it raises the doubtfulness of what will be done with the ruins of the castle that currently exist . It could be demolished altogether to make space for a new palace , but it could also be saved and used as an physical object of study , help the the great unwashed of Hyrule re - learn stonemasonry by looking at the instance and work of the past . Considering Princess Zelda ’s personality , it would n’t be surprising if she live in a modest building instead , to take into account her people to study the castle and get word from it .

It ’s possible toexplore Hyrule afterTOTKusing mods , but otherwise Link wo n’t see Hyrule rebuilt to its former criterion anytime soon . They merely do n’t have the cognition needed to construct or mend stone buildings , and there are a lot of other precedency for the people of Hyrule , such as surviving and sample to find a semblance of normal life . While Nintendo did n’t need to give a reason as to why Hyrule has n’t been rebuilt in the years when Link was asleep , it adds earth - building and depth to the new buildings seen inThe Legend of Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom .
