MonicaHOST
While the Forbidden Construct and the Knight Construct seem to have a moral code, that is because they both were influenced by their additional source of power.
MonicaHOST
However, we also know or are led to believe that these are what wiped out the rest of the Zonai.
MonicaHOST
If there were any more caches of these types of constructs, anyone could cause absolute mayhem with them, powers or not.
MonicaHOST
Anyway, as always, I absolutely love the podcast, and even though I have no interest in playing most or any Final Fantasy game, I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to your coverage of them so far.
MonicaHOST
Ganondorf
CrystalHOST
the
CameronHOST
Evil King did not destroy the Zonai civilization.
CameronHOST
I mean, that's true.
Asif KhanHOST
This is not...
Asif KhanHOST
But this might be the Hero of Time, but this might also be a world where the Zonai exist.
Asif KhanHOST
Right? This could be...
Asif KhanHOST
I don't know what kind of Ganon we're dealing with.
David CraddockHOST
I feel like it'll have a wholly original story with kind of cherry-picked elements from different games.
David CraddockHOST
Like, we'll see the Temple of Time, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's an Ocarina of Time story.
David CraddockHOST
We'll see, you know, maybe the Zonai, we'll see maybe a Goron, but again, they're just taking elements from these different games and kind of Like Donovan said, it's an amalgam that makes its own story.
Asif KhanHOST
Yeah.
Allison AlethaHOST
Okay, let's go.
Allison AlethaHOST
Alright, our first Zonai device is the hot air balloon, or it's just called the balloon.
Allison AlethaHOST
And it's commonly seen by, like, Impa has her own balloon.
Allison AlethaHOST
Oh, right.
12 MINS LATER
AdrielleHOST
And if I'm able to...
AdrielleHOST
I felt more precious about a lot of my resources in this game than I did in Breath of the Wild.
AdrielleHOST
Because I think because there's more different types of resources and Zonai devices and everything.
AdrielleHOST
So then there's kind of less of each item.
PetraHOST
Yeah.
PetraHOST
As Zonai is
ChrisHOST
weird.
PetraHOST
Yeah.
speaker_0HOST
I'm here.

On October 20th, we'll finally get the Tears of the Kingdom Secrets of the Zonai Masterworks release.
speaker_0HOST
I have the Creating a Champion version, the deluxe version with the map, the spirit orb, the book, the picture of the champions, and Tears of the Kingdom is going to have the same thing.
speaker_0HOST
I think that's the version I want to get.
8 MINS LATER
speaker_0HOST
Oh, hold on, let me read the description.
speaker_0HOST
Start your journey with Secrets of the Zone I, pour over 50 pages of beautiful illustrations, character art, and promotional images, then dive into the nearly 300 pages of behind-the-scenes sketches, notes, rough designs, concept art, and recollections to provide an exclusive look at the development and creation of the game.
speaker_0HOST
Next, travel back to a time before the founding of the Kingdom of Hyrule, with over 80 pages of Hyrule's history that include insights into the mysterious past of the Zonai all the way up to the events of the game.
speaker_0HOST
So I wonder if this means if this is their workaround way of saying Zelda going back in time, like we're seeing that.
Brian KimHOST
Um-
Alex BergHOST
Yeah, 'cause the Zonai stuff is, like, incredible.
Alex BergHOST
My favorite part about the Zonai stuff is going on YouTube and watching someone being like-
Brian KimHOST
[laughs] Oh, yeah
Alex BergHOST
... "I built a machine that hunts Lynels on its own," you know? Like-
Alex BergHOST
You know what I mean? Like, we're using the same map.
Alex BergHOST
We've added the underground.
Alex BergHOST
There's, like, some stuff that's been changed, and obviously the Zonai stuff's a huge new mechanic that's really fun.
CameronHOST
How do you find these gods, Crystal? How they first appear as statues, and it's only when they truly want to show their faces that the shadows of their power appear before it.
CrystalHOST
First of all, they look like the Zonai from The Legend of Zelda.
MonicaHOST
So
CrystalHOST
Zelda ripped off FFXII again.
JamesHOST
Acknowledged it, but it's so clear.
JamesHOST
I mean, even the way the caretaker Zonai people sort of move the same...
JamesHOST
Are they scared to acknowledge it? I think they would be.
JamesHOST
I mean...
DanielPANELIST
Um, I appreciate how the Tears of the Kingdom one for the Switch OLED, which I, I did get also, it's not just gold.
DanielPANELIST
It has a lot of Zonai, um, design styles to it.
DanielPANELIST
So it's not strictly just, like, all-encompassing for Zelda.
DanielPANELIST
It is specifically doing another game in particular.
