Theory: The Odd Headcanons of Vaati, Part Fifty-three: Not the Waker of Winds
There is an odd trend that people tend to do, and I really don't understand why. Here are some reasons that Vaati had nothing to do with the Wind Waker.
There's a few problems with saying that Vaati either created OR found the Wind Waker, and they are... 1. Timeline 2. Minish Magic 3. Theft of the Magic Hat 4. Ezlo??? 5. Wind Association
1. Timeline Vaati is from the completely wrong Timelines. He only appeared in the Pre-Split Timeline (which was caused by "Ocarina of Time", NOT "Four Swords"!) and the Child Timeline. The Wind Waker is only found in the ADULT Timeline- where Vaati is NOT ONCE seen nor even mentioned!
2. Minish Magic Vaati was a Minish. Yes, we get that. But that means he only had the basic MINISH MAGIC at his disposal, hence why he wanted to steal the Magic Hat. How in the world could a low-level Mage, who was still training under a Sage, be able to create something that powerful? Unless...
3. Theft of the Magic Hat You could argue that after Vaati stole the Magic Hat, he created the Wind Waker. But, no. Vaati already had all of the cap's powers- and wanted even more with the Light Force- so why would he be satisfied with just a puny baton? On top of that, if he "had" the Wind Waker prior to the taking of the hat, then Vaati WOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED TO STEAL THE MAGIC HAT, COMPLETELY RUINING THE POINT OF HIS PLOT.
4. Ezlo??? Even if Ezlo had made it rather than Vaati, with all of Vaati's association with Wind, he probably would have stolen THAT instead of the Magic Hat! But, no. He clearly didn't. That hat is the entire FOCUS of "The Minish Cap", after all!
5. Wind Association I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Just because Vaati has something in common with something else doesn't mean he's a part of it. Like I mentioned in Part Three of this theory series, Vaati is NOT a Sheikah, despite him having red eyes. Things like that. This is in the same manner- Vaati shouldn't be associated with/blamed for the creation/discovery of the Wind Waker just because he also happened to have Wind powers!
That's what I just don't get. Yes, people can believe whatever they want- hence why this is a "headcanon" theory series!- but, personally... I really don't think Vaati has anything at all to do with the Wind Waker.
Because if he did, he would have had no reason to do all of the horrible actions that he actually DID do at all. And Vaati's bizarre rationale/mentality is what I find the most fascinating about him. He's... Almost human.
