it's my personal headcanon that after Botw all the shrines and towers went back into the ground, since they had fulfilled their purpose. The ancient sheikah tech was meant specifically for defeating calamity ganon, so when that happened, all that blue energy it ran on dried up, and aferwards the scientists like Purah had to figure out new ways of powering stuff.

In my head-canon, the untouched Sheikah constructs gradually began to dissolve and collapse on their own with all the spirit orbs gathered and returned to the goddess over the course of a 100% completion of BOTW. There are implications that these constructs are powered by the prayer and dedication of the eternally-meditating monks and are (in the case of the shirnes, as shown by the master sword trials) realities created/augmented by intense concentration and willpower vs the "real world". With the spirits freed, the mission accomplished, and closure gifted to those who clung to the mortal world waiting for Link, all that collective spiritual willpower breathed a sight of relief and all that energy rejoined the goddess. As a result, all the structures retuned to basically being clay and ceramic pottery and collapsed in the ensuing years either by accelerated entropy from 10k years, or from the returning Hylian diaspora intentionally wrecking them (not knowing they were totally dead without malice or the monks willpower driving them) to prevent their return. Meanwhile, Purah and Robbie rushed to salvage and reverse-engineer what little they could. Being Sheikah descendants themselves, they may have retained the ability to energize simple constructs, but nothing on the scale of their ancestors. Regarding the discussion about the shrines: talk about them might be minimal simply because the death of the de-energized Sheikah tech would have been extremely common knowledge for Hyrule residents and would not have been a thing well-known by people returning, since the Calamity was 100 years ago and the towers and shrines began rising well after most of the kingdom was vacant. In addition to this, we can see from hints like Hudson's daughter that a considerable amount of time has passed between the two games, between 5 or even 10 years - and if we think about how everyone thought the tech was taboo during the pre-calmity times and compare that to how zeitgeist works in real-life... people were already moving past it only to have the falling ruins take center stage. Think if real-life disasters and how fast we move to the next headline. 5 or 10 years is enough to exhaust average interest, not even mentioning that the main event of BOTW was 100yr prior - then it's all overshadowed by the latest disaster. But that's all just me trying to make sense of it for myself as I enjoy the game. Nintendo is notoriously weird about Zelda continuity. ^^

I love your theory, the monks having fulfilled their mission were rewarded with a well-deserved eternal rest, and without them praying and maintaining the whole thing, the energy depleted or went back to the goddess, and without such energy, all the sheikah stuff that was made from clay and pottery just had accelerated 10k years of decay. And why the subject is barely mentioned in-game because people moves on quickly and currently have a new disaster to worry about. Your theory is the most spiritually beautiful and makes the more sense within this canon mess that Nintendo always does.

If we also assume what sheika tech is an improved version of zonai tech, we have interesting implications. zonai tech's main drawback is the usage of zonaite itself. it is inherently unstable, breaking itself after usage of energy. There are some zonite construct that seems to have a long lifespan, but it seems to implicate that these techs are very once-used product or something. If large portion of the zonai tech did not survive the decay of time and shieka tech was a half-reversed engineered product of the leftover, we can say the sheika monks have found a way to extend this very shelf life. if the product decays after it's energy usage. why not feed the energy of the soul to sustain the technology indefinitely? This must be a reason why the monks were preserved to be living indefinitely untill the soul energy was given to the hero of legend. after the soul energy gone, just like zonai tech, they disappeared. This also could be the reason why sheika tech could be hijacked by malice. it was designed to use soul energy, so it was weak to bad soul energy's hijacking. If we know these are decayed into thin air and also leftover could be destroyed on purpose to stop second demise happening, we can assume the following: before it decayed and disappeared into thin air, purah and others reverse engineered the remaining product, including the sheika slate, to be more resistant to soul hijacking. however due to the already lost technology, their new invention made using reverse engineering knowledge is not exact copy, rather inferior version of the original.

I don’t do much care as to getting it back or anything. But more so I want an explanation from the game. Like… seriously. They ditch the sheikah slate for the purha pad? Like… it does the same thing but less features. The slate at lest looked original too where the pad is literally a switch which kinda takes me out of it. Then there is the fact that even if all the tech rusted away… how? We saw guardian corpses eeeeverywhere that managed to last for 100 years. Now 4 years passed and everything is gone? I highly doubt they managed to clean everything up if the research gang was destroying it all. After all they had bigger things ti worry about than to make sure every small scrap was gone. Like a kingdom to rebuild. If the tech itself made itself go away after completing their purpose, you still had dead unpowered guardians that would have been left behind The new towers just feel of as to why they built them when the old towers also did the same thing. If anything they did it better since they didn’t need to launch someone into the air with a camera and just installed the data of the area. Why is it all their tech got downgraded for the stuff they replaced it with? We know the sheikah could make better versions of the stuff since purha upgraded runes and Robbie’s furnace for better equipment are clear examples of them improving on the original designs. I have so many questions as to why it’s all gone and how. And the game answers none of it in favor for the zonai replacing everything. And it’s hard to say it’s an AU because they mention the calamity after all and the champs still exist, that could only happen if there was sheikah tech

I don't the gloom attack destroyed them because being buried in rock and ten thousand years didn't affect them not to mention the Zonai constructs aren't affected. It would make sense if the gloom attack forcibly shut Sheikah down and made it inoperable hence the need for the new towers and the Purah Pad despite being downgrades. I want this to be addressed with Link asking what happened to the Divine Beasts and some NPC telling him that the chasms swallowed them up and now they can't reach them because of all the gloom so they are hoping that planting a bunch of anti-gloom flowers will help them reach the darn divine beasts. This could even involve a quest line or mini-adventure where they not only get a guardian to work but modify it with Zonai tech and anti-gloom flower extract, and after it is completed you see them throughout the tunnels and going in and out of the chasms. At least give us some sensible explanation.

Why doesn’t Hestu seem to recognize or remember Link and is surprised Link can see him. I think this is an alternate timeline where some calamity happened, but it wasn’t calamity Ganon, Link never slept for 100 years and the guardians were never built. Maybe BotW is a fallen timeline where Rauru failed and the Sheikah had to imprison Ganon.

Melted - there is more than one memorial from Zelda. Also, the mural from BotW is in Paya’s room.. so no, this is not a retcon. In fact, if I recall, the tech cannot be seen anywhere in the BotW ending, like it’s been washed clear of the landscape. And considering that it all just popped up from the ground, it’s pretty safe to say it just … went back after it’s purpose had been served. Or hey- maybe they got destroyed when the Upheaval happened? But a retcon? Nah. That’s really silly

I’m more of the opinion that the game is taking place in a closed time loop. When reading the character profiles for some of the characters, it mentions certain characters helping link during the Calamity. Not only that but if no sheikah tech existed, then Link would not be 100 years after the Calamity. My thoughts are Zelda went back in time, inadvertently influenced the Zonai shrines existing which inspired the sheikah. The Sheikah then made their tech based off those shrines and the divine beasts after the sages, and the goal was to push back and seal Ganon until the time came for the Demon King to be vanquished. So, the Sheikah shrines wouldn’t have existed without Zelda. The other reason I think this since it wasn’t confirmed, is why did Rauru make the shrines if he personally did not need them?
@javiervasquez625

It is a closed timeloop as proven through all of Zelda's memories so you're right on that. I believe Rauru made the Shrines simply because he was _told_ to make them by the Goddesses "whispering" to him through his long ears (according to the scholar Shad in Twilight Princess long ears allow one to hear the messages from the gods). Basically put Rauru was ordered by the goddesses to carry out events which would lead into both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom as part of a divine plan set out by the Golden Goddesses.

Theory. Local villagers knocked down a tower in an act of gratuitous vengeance, and to Purah and Robbie's surprise, this knocked out the local guardians when their network went down. The shrines lost their connections to the extra dimension their innards occupied in the same event, and thus underwent a rapid disassembly when they dismantled the rest of the network. The divine beasts were most likely cannibalised for their parts, Ruta living on as an irrigation project somewhere in the gerudo desert for example.

I would say that the shieka trials after testing the hero, desintegrated or just whent down and crumbled. The 4 trials on the great platoe are now chasms. Almost as if malice sweped in trough the holes left by the shrine elevators. And the shrine of resurection has a pool of healing water wich shows there is still remaining power on that place. I would say its a mix between being desintegrated ( trials) and diamantled with some tech being burried. Maybe the lack of power made the tech start to rust faster and faster. And some parts were salvaged and used to reconstruct tech and adapt to other power sources. And it will be payed dlc.

Watch the DLC show us that Purah is just storing all four Divine Beasts in a Sheikah Slate until they can figure out what to do with them.

Maybe BotW and TotK are the only ones that are canon, and all of the older games are myths within that world. Like our myths, they include actual events that were explained to the best of the writer’s ability. That could explain why events from different timelines are directly mentioned in BotW. The previous Zelda games could all just be stories passed through the generations, like fables or religions, and it was the Calamity 100 years before BotW that finally exposed Ganon as an actual entity. The myths were based on some truth, but no one knows that truth. They only know the mythology.

From a technical standpoint, I think Nintendo simply didn't want to scatter the already cramped landscape with 120 now defunct shrines, towers and stuff. They would simply confuse new players and old players already know where everything is/was. In game I think it simply stopped working and dissolved after the calamity was defeated. The shrines and towers especially were designed to help link regain his memory and power after 100 years and thus no longer needed after the events of BotW. And the rest was probably disassembled and repurposed into the new towers and the Purapad by Purah and Robbie. The "Zelda changed the past" theory can be disproved by Ganondorf recognizing Zelda and Link at the start of the game, meaning he must have already encountered Zelda in the past, thus the time loop already existed.

For every theory I make to place it in one of the timelines there’s 30 other theory why your wrong, for example the 3 levithan skeletons being in the same game doesn’t make sense, having all armor and correct lore for items from other games in the same game (fierce deity, majoras mask, hero of the woods or whatever his old old outfit is called, phantom armor, ZORAS AND RITOS COEXISTENCE) A common theory people usually go with is that this timeline is either the end and conjoined timeline of all timelines or that it’s outside the main ones and a new one. And a really interesting theory that try’s to explain why it connects all timelines brings in hyrule warriors as to why there’s so much timeline leakages So trying to use any evidence from any of the established timelines is like patching a sinking ship with 5ply toilet paper

As a average Zelda fan when i think of the Legend of Zelda games i think of the Master Sword, Zelda, Link, and the Triforce. the other issue i have is the Imprisoning War. does that mean BOTW and TOTK are in the downfall timeline? some things this game's story shows doesn't match up with the Imprisoning War the Zelda books talk about. So that make me wonder if Nintendo is following the Marvel path. You know how Marvel has a multiverse? Like the new movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse which shows different spiderman's from different universes. Maybe the BOTW and TOTK are not part of the Zelda timeline we know from the books. maybe BOTW and TOTK have their own timeline in a different universe. Does that make sense? Or maybe they are just going to retcon the entire Zelda franchise.

The way I see it, Calamity Ganon was build-up energy stocked into Hyrule Castle's basement to develop and supply Sheika tech with energy. With time the accumulated said energy became sentient.This is why he was able to hijack guardians and divine beasts. Then when Ganon was defeated, all Sheika tech went obsolete. They then dissolved the way the Sheikahs inside the temple did. Just not sure if it disappeared because "mission accomplished" or because it shared the same essence as the Calamity. The main hole in this theory is how the furnace comes in the story, but I find it quite pertinent.

She manages this somewhere between then and Ganondorf's ascent to Demon King, and it's the primary reason anyone was able to escape after Sonia's death. It even keeps the same blue light in that cutscene that it's always been using. So going by that, even if there wasn't nearly enough Shiekah tech to study, there'd be the travel gates stationed outside the Zonai shrines to experiment with.

The explanation I feel most at ease with is that the moment Zelda's time-blink created a new timeline, the timeline is attempting to adjust to the changes throughout TOTK. The inconsistent absence of evidence from the calamity the vast differences in the personalities and memories of NPCs, the geography and how scars from past battle shaped the land are different, the lack of a fourth in BotW, the npc age discrepencies not fitting with the time between games with some aging from children to adults others not aging at all and one child born to parents introduced in botw by Link, the fact that many of the npcs have completely lost their memories of link, the deterioration of weapons created before Zelda blinked, and other factors all lend support to the theory. It isn't a perfect theory but it is better than admitting nintendo cares less about the fundamental stables of the series that connects all settings, consistant story telling or the lore of their own series than we do. What I want to know is if the zora hadn't evolved beyond jellyfish in the time long after the demon king Demise's defeat and the imprisoning war as seen in LoZ;SS so how could a modern zora be present during the imprisoning war presented in totk?

I do really like that theres mentions about the things that happened in BOTW, but not too much to confuse new players. Otherwise, yeah it feels empty, since the sheikah was very important in BOTW. But that's what I think honestly.

I like the whole theory of the shrines and tech never existing, but there’s a tapestry inside of the kakariko chiefs house depicting shrines, towers, and guardians….

My personal head cannon is that TOTK is an alternate timeline in the Zelda multiverse...in a way each game in the Zelda franchise is its own timeline. Some things overlap between timelines other don't. TOTK is not a sequel per say but rather the tri-force cycle playing out in a parallel universe.

Continuity wise its strange that they’re gone without a trace, but it’d be weird having over 100 non interactive structures all over the map. Plus if you were to play through BOTW after TOTK, for whatever reason, it’d ruin it

Adding AoC to the mix, and you can see even more paradoxical theories about things

my main question is : where are the divin beast ? It’s litteraly some big machine and all so if they have destroyed them I’m sure it will be noticeable or at least we could see some broken part of the beast somewhere ? 🤔

The parallel universe theory would be plausibe IF the game hadn't referenced the Shieka tech, Calamity, or Divine Beasts at all. But it does, in the schoolhouse of Hateno village there is a description of the Calamity and Divine Beasts, and in Kakariko Village the painting of the Age of Calamity is in the 2nd floor of Impa's house

I am hopping they’re saving it for the DLC. It is a HUGE plot hole for the game to not mention any of the previous Sheikah Tech, and barely mention the calamity.

I like the deconstruction theory. It makes sense they would be in a hurry to dismantle as much shika tech as they could just in case Gannon came back. Not to mention the Yiga clan probably cannibalized what they could get their grubby hands on. We do see remnants of the tech here and there, we also see chasms where some major shines once were. Perhaps we could see that as a proverbial dodged bullet. Gannon probably tried to access the dismantled tech during the upheaval only for the abandoned infrastructure to collapse into the depths. One last thing, it looks like several years past between Breath and Tears. They had a lot of time to do all of this, especially if it was a major priority.
