Probably an underwater village

Secret Koopa rape village

Atlantis

I assume so. In the German version this level was called "Atlantis Aquaria" so I always assumed that it was meant to be set in what's part of a sunken city.

Some slum in a 3rd world country

overwatch has the deepest lore!

It was a teaser for the upcoming anime " η ‚γΌγ†γš" or "Desert Punk" for you english speaking plebs. Sadly, the work on the anime didn't really hit off for another two years.

t. Autism spectrum disorder

Isn't that some background for Super Mario 64?

It looks almost exactly like Istanbul to me.

was Constantinople

Why would they build switches which instantly floods the entire city? What were they afraid of?

>the great ape war

Maybe they were fish people

Old Walled City of Shibam

The buttons were to drown the humans who may invade their city

The skyboxes in this game always creeped me the fuck out.

Who even lived in the city? Why was it inside some sort of bunker only accessible through the top?

The painting suggests they met with a pretty gruesome end at the hands of giant scuttlebugs.

For the water temple in OoT, I always saw it like some sort of "Zora city", in which the Zoras can live easily in the temple if it's all water, but can change the water level to confuse enemies and ward off invaders.

Like if an enemy comes in, and the water level is at the top: they can drain the water, leaving the enemy stuck at the bottom, and the Zoras have the upper advantage where they can snipe away at the enemy with fins or arrows.

>NPC recognizes the player from the last game despite you controlling a different character this time

...

wait

Why not just flood the temple and drown the invaders? What advantage could the Zoras possibly have by draining the water?

um, excuse me, the creatures you're referring to as "scuttlebugs" are actually skeeters, a completely different species

best moment of that game

Because when you go in the entrance, dont you just come out at the top level?

Start watching this video from about 8:00 onwards, and tell me that this isn't the most autistic thing you've ever seen

Submerged under Lake Hylia. Try marching an army into that entrance.

It's Mecca after God kills all the Muslims with a great flood

Truly the greatest summoning ritual of all time.

It's autistic as fuck, but you can't hate that guy for explaining all the math and bullshit going as he do his gameplay

I wonder what lives inside that box.

An old god called All'ah

Ow come on, that's just funny, why the "autist" insult ?

It's actually a premonition of an apocalyptic future.
You see decades ago when Nintendo was founded, it's creator had a daughter, Tei Yamauchi who was an amazingly gifted psychic who received horrible visions of the end of the world or rather what would happen after it. She would wake up in tears on a routine basis from the horrible things she would see and draw.

This spurred her father into taking action to help prevent such a horrible future. He say the horrible destruction and lack of care humanity had for the world even then and decided that the adults were already a lost cause.
And so he targeted his products towards children and those with a youthful mind while secretly imbuing hidden messages of the terrible future yet to be wrought upon the world as a way to subconsciously push the idea of preventing that onto the populous.

Now you see this theme in almost all of Nintendo's games, Zelda often takes place in or with a ruined place forgotten by time, metroid has you exploring dead civilizations, Splatoon is about a world where humanity has gone extinct leaving sealife to evolve and become the dominant species.
The picture in the OP is actually one of the few paintings Tei made that has survived over all these years detailing what she saw of the terrible fait that awaits us. The original still lies safe deep within the Yamauchi vault in the 5th sublevel of the Nintendo basement at headquarters right between the frozen head of Gunpei Yokoi, and the preserved testicles of Mr. Iwata.

The meaning behind the picture is the effects upon the middle East in the unknown future after climate change has decimated our world among other things. Wet dry world was meant to subtly give players the idea of quickly rising and lowering water destroying cities and the human lives therein before ultimately flooding everything after the ice caps melt. They included this painting as the background to help pay tribute to Tei and help her message live on.

Prophetic warning about Greece and how they'll be "under water".
For non-primary english speakers, that means "in debt".

How did he get frozen in there?

learned the other day that my friend's girlfriend's brother made the scuttlebug video. Surprise surprise, he's a physics and comp sci. PhD

He knew too much...

Prove it

It's a storage crate full of explosives.

cuz he's the sheriff

>tfw we'll never get Skooks 6

Nintendo was literally founded over a century ago

Officially, anyway. One day we're going to find a cave painting hidden in yuan dating back to 60.000 B.C. of a guy eating a mushroom and riding a dinosaur,

...

I used to stare at them when I was little, especially OP's. They were so interesting
