#Morvith if ur down

Another headcanon cause I can:

The first time a Link touches the Master Sword, he learns everything about his past reincarnations in a matter of mere seconds. The only flaw in this is that Four (From the Foursword and Minish Cap games) and Hyrule (Legend of Zelda and Zelda II Link’s Adventure) don’t have the Master Sword. Granted I’ve only played Breath of the Wild and a bit of Wind Waker (Sad I know) and the internet is the internet, so I could be wrong. But I’m pretty sure that the ‘Magical Sword’ From ‘Rule’s inventory is not the Master Sword. I could say that the Foursword and ‘Magical Sword’ do the same once earned but that would be stretching it because of the next part.

Why does this happen/work in the first place?

Fi. From what I know about her she is the Spirit of the Master Sword and also responds with facts and data a lot. Don’t take my word for it (-cries in I need to play more Zelda Games-) cause again internet. So anyway, my theory is that Fi inputs the data/memories about the Hero’s. It’s then put into the next Hero’s head because it might help temporally clear space. Then, when the Journey is done/it’s the last time the Sword would be weld by the Link, the data is put back in, but the memories still linger. Like recognizing faces, highly impactful or emotional moments, etc. 

Some questions you may have after reading this.

But what about the timeline?

So Fi was created by Hylia and separate timelines imply multiple Hylias, but that’s not really how it works. Plus they merge back together (maybe?) with Wild (botw) so it’s not even a normal timeline split. So uh, Hylia is a Goddess and it’s magic and fictional? Idk (Wow, Ray such a great headcanon)

What about Wild, he didn’t get his memories back when he got the master Sword back!

So, based on above the data would probably be put in as he was dying. The oldest goes in first, as that is the least likely to recover. Fi was also working a lot slower at the time cause:

Yeah, look at Fi. If Wild is connected to Fi she would definitely sacrifice some data if it meant keeping the Link alive so Hyrule could be saved. No matter how it happened some data was defiantly lost.

So, this made me think. I have so many headcanons and theories, small and large that pop up in my head sometimes. I honestly think I should make side blog for it. That way y’all can ask questions ans submit theories of your own.

I wouldn’t wanna run it by myself so the first mutual that came to mind:

@morvith​ Only if you wanted to, it would be fun though. We kinda already do it so why not share it with the world

If anyone else is interested feel free to dm me!
