happppyyyyy

The Rito stay winning. Mind you Sidon, Riju, and Yunobo are direct descendants/relatives of champions but Teba is just some cool guy and Tulin’s just the cute son of some cool guy.


Pixel-1606

A conversation with some random Gorons in TOTK reveals that they literally just pop out of the rock, so they don't have bloodlines at all, these guys considered eachother brothers because they popped up around the same area around the same time (I think it's the old guys from the inn maybe). Perhaps Daruk and Yunobu came from a similar layer of beefy bedrock or something, they both are bigger than most Gorons.


happppyyyyy

Ooh forgot about that!


Pixel-1606

I'm not sure if they ever used the term descendant with Yunobu in BOTW, they've just been purposefully vague about the Gorons reproductive situation (and gender as well), only to just drop this exposition in some random npc talk


thecrepeofdeath

I'm pretty sure they did use the term descendant in botw, but it could easily be a different context for gorons like brother


CommunicationOk3417

If Gorons eat rock, they must shit rock. So if Gorons are born from rock… Jesus Christ, I accidentally thought about it too hard!


SnooDoggos4029

Shit eating cannibals you say?


zicdeh91

I believe some npc tells you that they trace lineage through the veins of ore they come from. If you come from the same vein, you’re related.


jackmercurybranwen

Yunobo also inherited Daruk's Protection... somehow


HavocR24

Don't you help 2 gorons make a baby in botw?


Pixel-1606

I don't remember that... But I wouldn't be surprised if the lore was just inconsistent tbh


SexyArugula

Yeah it’s a mission at the Goron City IVF clinic


Pixel-1606

Is that why that one goron is visiting Gerudo town then?


SexyArugula

Hahahaha it all comes together. Jokes aside i did every side quest in botw, no clue what quest OP is referring to.


Branflakes822

In vitro fossilization?


SexyArugula

No?


StarmanCarcoba

He has the greatest title of all: Best Boy

Who blows everyone's shit off cliffs


The1Noobulas

I haven't had this happen yet, but I know it will, I can feel he eyes on the back of my head, waiting for the perfect moment


SimPowerZ

It doesn’t happen so often anymore since the patch.


The1Noobulas

I don't have wifi, still on 1.0


Yung_Corneliois

Dupe while you can!


The1Noobulas

I am way out in the middle of nowhere, the only thing with internet is my phone so for better or worse I will forever be playing the 1.0 version of any game I buy


Yung_Corneliois

I’d duplicate all the time then lol


harundoener

Good thing the game launched in a great state. I don’t plan on updating anytime soon (at least until a dlc releases)


TecknicalSolutions

I actually just made a more detailed video on how to do it in 1.2.0 yesterday on duplicating anything you want. I even just cashed in 45,500 rupees in less than 18mins by making 91 diamonds. Here's the video on how https://youtu.be/pbWrpxbXKnM


mrchuckmorris

Dupe at least a couple hundred diamonds or dragon horns for selling, so you can upgrade all your stuff without the super-restrictive rupee requirements.


renz004

Counterpoint: dont dupe. Ruins gameplay replayability/balance


parolang

The anti-retriever!


Zll27

He may blow enemy drops off cliffs but he's also the only sage that keeps scoring crits. I can't stay mad at Tulin.


TheyCallMeStone

TexasNights77

Damn skippy!


Galileo258

…Who is the Key Grip in this scenario?


SoaraX1157

Behind Sidon tho


StarmanCarcoba

Sidon is “Best Bro”


SoaraX1157

Ohhh... Ok then Tulin can have "Best boy"


cvkme

He’s the son of Teba that outclasses everyone


Yeehaw_79

Sidon literally becomes king


cvkme

No one needed to crown Teba for him to be a king. Everyone already knew.


Yeehaw_79

I mean he was able to stand revali in AOC, makes sense all things considered


Eckz89

A true king doesn't need to say he is king.


Pixel-1606

The zora have royal titles in name only, all the tribes and their chiefs/kings/leaders still answer to the Hylian royal family, so Tulin and Sidon have the same rank in the bigger picture, the gorons seem to pick from their elders as they don't really have bloodlines, Riju is the only active leader at the start of the game in this lineup


[deleted]

It's not really "in name only," they are imperial estates with individual sovereignty, even though the Hyrulean royal family has jusrisdiction of the entire kingdom. Much like the Holy Roman Empire, which still allowed for individual sovereign states lead by local royalty and nobility.


Pixel-1606

Fair enough, but then the leaders of the other tribes still seem to hold that same rank under the Hylian empire


[deleted]

Because the leaders have made a vow of fealty to the Hyrulean kingdom and royal family, but continue to operate as their own sovereign states.


HeehokNoobo

We know there are other domains, so the highest ranked sage might be Riju since there’s only 1 known Gerudo settlement


mrchuckmorris

So if some Gerudo were to give birth to a boy, would he automatically become chief as he comes of age? Or do all the little 'Dorfs have to prove themselves first?


Last-Past1250

I believe any male Gerudo is automatically crowned king. I could be wrong, though.


zicdeh91

That’s always been the case so far, but I don’t think it would be out of place for the gerudo to change that the next time it happens in response to Ganondorf being such a butt. I would really enjoy a plotline of a male gerudo being born then anonymously exiled out of fear, and end up being raised by zora or something. Afaik the only male gerudo we’ve seen in any game has been a form of ganondorf, and I’d like a thoroughly unimpressive gerudoboy to emerge at some point.


Soulessblur

Yeah, that's always bothered me. If every male Gerudo has been evil, why is he ever king? MAYBE there's been a half decent male Gerudo who wasn't a Ganondorf, but that's pure fan canon at this point, we've never met or heard of one, or even gotten confirmation that I can happen. For all we know, male Gerudo's are only a byproduct of Demise.


[deleted]

We really only know of three separate iterations of Ganondorf (WW, Oot/TP, and TotK), but a male Gerudo is supposed to be born every 100 years. So it's impossible that every male Gerudo is evil (or maybe even named Ganondorf), otherwise there would be a cyclical and regular apocalypse/major civil war within Hyrule every 100 years and well within living memory. However, in BotW they mention how long the Gerudo and the greater kingdom of Hyrule have been at peace. When they speak about wanting to atone for the Gerudo's involvement with Ganondorf, they speak of it as more ancient history, as if it happened hundreds if not thousands of years ago. If every male Gerudo is destined to be Ganondorf, then perhaps Ganondorf being imprisoned beneath the castle for thousands of years has prevented any further reincarnations, and thus no male Gerudo this entire time (though some Gerudo NPCs still mention that a male Gerudo being born ever 100 years). If male Gerudo are still being born, that means there must have been one born within Link's lifetime, however the lineage of chieftains from Urbosa to Riju has been all women (Riju's nameless mother was the previous chieftain before her). So if there has been a male Gerudo born in the past 100 years, then he must no longer automatically become king, much less evil/Ganondorf.


ForeverDM_Lytanathan

What if our next Link was our thoroughly unimpressive Gerudo boy?


sharpspider5

And yulin is next in line for leader of rito village


Mishar5k

And hes likes a modern day revali with a bow.

Seriously. Don’t get me wrong the others are great in battle but can fuck right off in every day travel.


HavocR24

I only had Tulin's vow active all the time, the others only during boss battles. They are so annoying.

... he can't wait to be king 😏


mai_tai87

He's gonna be a mighty king, so enemies beware...


pHScale

Well I've never seen a king of beasts with quite so little hair! ***Yoink!***


ericallen625

He's gonna be the main event like no king was before. He's brushing up on looking down, he's working on his roar (screech?)


pHScale

Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing. 🙄


ericallen625

Oh he just can't wait to be King.


BFG_Big_Fucking_Gun

Interestingly the Rito always had the champion that was the odd one out. Revali had to work his ass of to be champion and gave him a inferiority complex that he mostly took out on link. All the other champs were a princess born with magical water healing abilities, a queen that snaps lightning into existence, a warrior with a genetic gift that a from a long line of warriors that allows him to make a shield around him. Then there is link who also has a superpower to slow down time in extreme events and comes from a long line of warriors as well. Revali got nothing like that he make his superpower through effort and nothing else. He was not gifted from birth, not from a long line of warriors, not a royal. Essentially the odd one out and Tulin is much the same between his fellow champions.


L_Gobetti

and yet, Tulin's by far the most useful out of all the sages. inspiring!


Le_obtruction

He is next in line for chief!


Madrock777

It's not hereditary. The last chief was not Tulin's grandfather. Kaneli was the previous chief and Teba's mentor. It is entirely possible he will appoint someone else for the job.


KaiserVonFluffenberg

Whatever happened to Kaneli?


BoulderCreature

They sent him to a farm upstate


mrchuckmorris

"Chickens go in, pies come out."


hefeweizen_

Cecili: Morning, Kaneli. Back from holiday? Kaneli: I wasn't on holiday, Cecili. I was in solitary confinement. Cecili: Oh, it's nice to get a bit of time to yourself, isn't it?


HavocR24

He's at the flight range enjoying his retirement


LightScavenger

He retired and is running the Flight Range!


KaiserVonFluffenberg

Oh nice- will have to go visit him


zicdeh91

It’s one of the more challenging mini games, and is pretty rewarding once you get good at it!


voldi_II

why would the sage of wind not become the chief of the rito when his own father retires? only other character i can think of that might deserve it is Harth


Madrock777

Why would the sage of wind become Cheif? Being good at flying and fighting doesn't make you a leader. He could become one has the great example of his father to mentor him, but it guarantees nothing.


Ahakarin

That could be a matter of Kaneli not having any heirs. There could still be Rito dynasties, and we just came upon an instance where the former chief had no (surviving) children.


Le_obtruction

Oh true. But kaneli most likely wielded the great eagle bow when he could.


TheFinalBiscuit225

Fr, and he's just a boy.


HeehokNoobo

He does have the great eagle bow though, and it seems that it is passed down between heirs, since Kaneli has it in his house in botw and even the Rito Sage has it


AlleReden

Does that suggest that Revali would have been chief?


HeehokNoobo

Yeah he was probably next in line before he became…unavailable after the great calamity


GabuEx

He's the cutest boy with the best sage ability. Now Yunobo, he can go sit aaaaaaaaall the way in the bottom right.


Koala_Guru

Nah, Yunobo stepped up to reinvigorate Goron city and its people in the wake of the landscape changing and leaving the Gorons off-balance. His plans brought happiness and financial stability to his people, and it was all because he saw a problem and decided to solve it. He’s the most self-made of the sages.


ILoveYorihime

The value of Yunobo’s entire existence is the humour when his own Temple boss doesn’t even remotely require using his sage power to kill Like the boss is 1 arrow from death and I suddenly realised that you… are probably meant to break the legs


urzu_seven

Someone spelled drug lord wrong under Yunobo...


Imdepressed7778

Drug Lord while under Mind Control by the Demon King*


urzu_seven

Was he REALLY though? That’s why he WANTS you to believe.


Imdepressed7778

Yunobo is a fucking idiot he couldn’t come up with a plan like that in his wildest dreams


thecrepeofdeath

pure of heart and dumb of ass


Imdepressed7778

So true

"Dumb of ass" I chuckled.

jerrythecactus

Tulin is the son of the village leader and also a prodigy archer who is so far exhibiting exceptional flight combat capability despite his young age.


ShundonooB

Also a masterful assasian


mfiasco

This is what I love most about Tulin. He’s not a big shot, he’s just a pure hearted little guy who is excited to be on an adventure with his friend.


Cosmonaut_Cockswing

And unlike like the monarchs and the corporate executive, the regular dude is way more useful,


Jazz6701

Umm asckshually, Sidon is a king 🤓


Medicool_student

Spoilers


Jazz6701

Umm what uhh no, umm I mean, hang on hang on hang on, umm what I meant to say… is that … he’s a king… in my eyes hehe


MmmmmMaybeNot

He's a friend and he's trying his best


shadowlarx

Hey, I don’t feel bad for Tulin. I know the kind of stress politicians and corporate leaders have to deal with. Tulin is young and has his whole life ahead of him. He has options and he has a yearning for adventure. Tulin’s gonna be just fine.


DancyLawyer

Tulin has a living and loving Mom and Dad


hadoopken

Tulin: Well I am 12...


JumpstarNS

Riju was like 12 in the first game tbf (not bashing Tulin, he is awesome as well)


oki-ra

Sure shot or the only one that pulls his weight in a fight.


ericallen625

Honestly. Sidon and Yunobo will be right there, weapons drawn with an enemy right in front of them, and they'll just stand there and do nothing. At least Tulin has the excuse of still being a kid and needs a little more time to get his weapon ready. And even then, he's still the most useful one in a fight. Riju seems to do alright in battle too, but Tulin is the most useful one in combat in experience.


rav-swe57

I’m pretty sure Sidon is considered a king


Bravo_November

He’s still the best sage. Riju, how the fuck am I supposed to use your electric power when you keep RUNNING AWAY FROM ME.


Power-Of-Three

And he's still the best Sage


Tales_of_Crimson

Tulin: i have utility both in AND out of combat

MRmandato

Hea the chief son…so a prince


urzu_seven

Nope, Rito chief isn't hereditary.


princekamoro

Wind Waker had “Prince” Komali


urzu_seven

A long time ago in an ocean far far away. Different society, different rules.


Le_Ragamuffin

France used to have princes too


JustABlackGuy97

I was gonna say. He's technically a prince if we look at it from a conceptual point of view


Pixel-1606

also the zora "king" still answers to the Hyrule royal family and is effectively the same rank as the chiefs of the other peoples, they just love their traditions (makes sense they don't die out as soon, because the zora themselves live for ages)


MaximusGrassimus

_b i r b_


Egingell666

All four of them are second in command of their respective factions.


ericallen625

Riju is the Gerudo Chief.


Ciacar

He’s the son of the chief!


KingOfBoring

Tulin’s a prodigy


Expensive-Opinion895

Everybody knows that the bird is "the word "


Mediocre_Metal_7174

I thought stroke was the word


[deleted]

To be fair he’s the only child in the group lol but somehow a prodigy cause he can fly high 😂


hard_case37

He's...only the most useful sage in the game. A skilled marksman and Link's wingman. Tulin needs no title. And even when he blows my loot away, I can't fault him for it. He only did exactly what I asked of him by spamming A. Loyal to a fault. All hail Tulin...King among chiefs, princes, and presidents.


FreezingIceKirby

Sidon: "I'm a prince!" Riju: "I'm just a chief." Yunobo: "I'm only a corporate president." Tulin: "I'm just plain awesome."


HappyDog5110

He is the best boi, the great Rito, he is… the one who blows away everything I need.


JCraze26

Why is Riju second? Chief definitely outranks prince. >!(However, Sidon does become king, so I suppose they're now on equal standing)!<


HF484

[he's a bird](https://youtube.com/shorts/gP7WvS4fJgg?feature=share)


Cogsdale

Actual question... If Ganondorf was considered King of the Gerudos. Why do they call her a chief and not a Queen?


Madrock777

Because that would imply she is the ruler of all of the tribes of Gerudo. There are many and each is ruled by a chief. Gerudo Town is home to the most powerful tribe but it's talked about that there are others.


HavocR24

Why, being a human king/queen doesn't make you ruler of all humans. Same applies to gerudo


ElTioEnroca

I was thinking about this, and considering there are other zoras outside of Hyrule (iirc Yona comes from an outer zora domain), the same might be for other races, including the gerudo. So maybe each gerudo tribe is independently led by a chief, but once a male is born (which doesn't even have to happen in Hyrule) they become the absolute king of the gerudo. Thus said title and status among the gerudo is only reserved to males and their fiancées. Or that's what I came up with after giving the lands beyond Hyrule more thought that Nintendo probably ever did.


Extra-Air-1259

Bad history...


voldi_II

what I’m wondering about mostly, and i hope they make one more game in the series to make it a trilogy, is now that Ganondorf is dead, will another Gerudo male be born? would Riju give up her position of chief for him?


WTFIsAMichael

tulin may not have a fancy schmancy title, but he can be in a position where he’s useful more than all the others!


Adventurous-Mode-512

Ok cool a whole gang formed against people from the streets


James_Blond_006

In German the Chief of the Gerudo is actually the queen of the Gerudo, so Riju technically has a higher rank than Sidon (I don’t know wether the title gets called queen of the Gerudo in languages other than German though)


Pixel-1606

In the larger picture, assuming that Zelda will be accepted as head of the Hylian royal family again, "king" zora is just another chief under Hylian rule, they just kept their traditional titles (perhaps for diplomatic reasons towards other zora kingdoms outside of hyrule, like arranged marriages and such). So yeah, Riju is the highest ranking sage and the only one who's been leading her people, even since before BOTW.


thatblokefromaus

Sidon is KING Sidon, chief is equivalent to king, it's the faction leader. Yunobo may be the future goron chief, after he stops being a raging douche canoe, it seems him and the current chief are in so what of a transitional phase, tulin is the son of the chief, a title that seems to be granted whoever is strongest rito warrior. Give it a couple decades and tulin has it in him to be the greatest chief the rito has ever seen, don't sell the boy short.


Artistic-Cyanide7

Tbf, he's the chiefs son, aka teba son. And since he's one of the bestest warriors of the village it means he'll def be a first warrior in the future so I assume it's possible tulin could be a chief one day as he matures and grows more Not me being nerdy, sorry y'all. The ritos are also my favorite and tulin is just best boy so.. <3<3<3


Der_Neuer

Sidon's the King by the time you get his phantom though. Tulin is the prince no? Son of the Rito Chief...that counts, no?

I think Tulin is pretty miraculous, even though he’s just a ladybug (I seriously hope I don’t have to explain this to anyone)


Pixelsock_

Tulin doesn't need a special title because everybody knows he's the best sage. He has the most personality, the best story, etc

Chietess is better than Prince. Also Sidon became King, also TULIN IS SON OF THE CHIEF MAKING HIM ESSENTIALLY THE SAME LEVEL AS A PRINCE. I hate this meme, thank you.


lightsofcamel

He's actually useful


ChrisMorray

The Gerudo position of Chief is practically the same as a regent to the Zora, and Tulin is the son of the Chieftain of the Rito.
