...The Dominion Rod? The Temple of Time? The flying city? That's all technology, is it? Yes, they have high technology too, but a lot of their technology is based around magic. There's a close similarity with the Tower of the Gods in TWW, actually.

According to the shop guy, they can't even use bows and arrows. I severely doubt the Oocca were using the dominion rod for anything (there weren't any statues in their city, were there?).. Temple of time, sure, but ... that was definitely not the Oocca's, the goddesses built that specifically.. actually the way I remember it, the royal family or the sages did it, at the point where the opening to the sacred realm was (so when the ToT moves, as it does frequently, THOSE locations don't have the sacred realm-portal, and nothing indicates they do. There.)

And it's not entirely out of left field, y'know. The bird motif, often appearing with a large round head, is regularly seen throughout the series, mainly on Link's shields. Or am I the only one who noticed this obvious connection? Just look at Link's shield in The Minish Cap.

When has the bird motif ever had a large round head, especially a HUMAN head? It's always been an eagle, not a clumsy fowl.


... I dunno, man, unless the Oocca were some giant joke, I find it really hard to believe they even belonged there. Their city looked like it had been in ruins long before some dragon showed up.. ivy everywhere, broken pillars in rooms where Argorok couldn't have even entered, and nothing in the entire city but plain walls and other masonry. Nothing to even indicate anything goes on but walking around (and occasional shopping I guess)... I mean, by THIS point, a city has to actually look like a city, right? We're not in the 8bit days anymore. ... there's just more to their story, is all I'm saying. They've degenerated, or something.. which would explain why their technology is all ancient even to them.

So?

I severely doubt the Oocca were using the dominion rod for anything (there weren't any statues in their city, were there?)..

There.)

However, the indication was that the Dominion Rod was given to the ancient sages to make it, and that the Oocca oversaw this, judging by the motifs on the walls of the temple (apparently, I haven't seen them myself).

When has the bird motif ever had a large round head, especially a HUMAN head? It's always been an eagle, not a clumsy fowl.

In The Minish Cap it does, LOOK AT MY POST. Probably does in TWW too, actually, given that TMC uses the same art style for virtually everything.

It doesn't really look much like an oocca, though it's undoubtedly a human head. More like a whole winged human, though.

[Duke Serkol]

With... horns?

[Achitka]

It looks almost like a human head wearing Minda's helmet - but with wings...odd

[Fyxe]

It does look strangely like the Fused Shadows, yes.

Strange. Reminds me of Vaati or Death Eye seemingly appearing on pictures on the walls of the Shooting Gallery in OoT (it's true, have a look).

[Kairu Hakubi]

Maybe somebody found a dead manta ray and conflated it? ^^' that definitely doesn't look like an oocca to me. The Oocca ended up looking like some old harpies, human-headed bird with random wtf breasts tacked on. The thing on that shield is a humanoid figure with wings and.. a goat head? Maybe some Rito were wearing something odd.. or maybe those are eyebrow-feathers like kaepora had.

I know this is off the subject but...I have to point this out,...to me Hylian culture is to me like Ancient Greece..come one! dija look at the writng and scripture? the golden goddess's? especially the windwaker..the tower of the gods looked Greek to me..and in the desert on TP the next dungeon looked like a Greek Colosium...

[TheAvengerLever]

Maybe the Rito and the Oocca have the same ancient ancestry.

By the way, I don't even wanna know how the first Oocca were concieved. To me, it'd sound pretty much like a throwback to the beginning of AIDS.
