How did the Island of Zeal float anyways?

[4th Triforce piece]

Maybe this is really corny as I am not usually good at anylasis but I'll give my idea a shot with Lucca's wondershot.  :O


I've made it to where you get the Wings of Time in the video game so I wonder if they ever explain how the Island of Zeal stayed afloat?         

I bet it's some sort of anti-gravity machine that is hidden from view.  There is probably an engine room somewhere that turns it on/off.     Perhaps one of the Nu's made it?

[Dark Serge]

Probably magic... Who knows with all the crazy stuff they made there.

[Prince Janus]

According to the game, the kingdom was relatively young... or at least it's time airborne was. Zeal once was on the ground, until magic (presumably, see Sun Stone) was used to suspend it in the air.

[Feldschlacht IV]

I just assumed it was crazy ass videogame magic.

[V_Translanka]

Probably similarly to how Magus floats.

[Thought]

Magic, antigravity, magnetism, pockets of hydrogen gas, very dense air, etc. Take your pick.

Now the real conundrum is... how does the main island of Zeal still have water? It is falling off the island at a noticeable rate!

[utunnels]

Floating continents/islands exist in various games/anims... I'm just curious who got this idea first?

[Feldschlacht IV]

I wouldn't be surprised if the concept was ancient.

Jesus makes it float.

Recondensed (using magic!) from the surrounding clouds.

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

Lots of Water element magic users constantly using the "Springs of Recovery" to regain MP and recast lots of Water 2 spells.

Doesn't Nu mean "Water" or something? That might have something to do with it.

[Acacia Sgt]

Those anyone noticed how the water falls down to the surface, yet while being there you don't see the water falling? Doesn't it means that they have a method to have that falling water return to the deposit somehow?

[V_Translanka]

Well, isn't it, like...snowing on the surface...?

Hey, maybe the Ice Age ended long ago & Zeal is just bein bitches with the atmosphere & creating a new one! >_>

I was going in that direction with this thread.

Where did zelda get it's Technolgoy from?  Ayla's tribe couldn't have done it nor the tribe up north.  (can't think of their name)    Look how they were trying to surive the ice-age if you even call it trying.
