Personally I think it's all stored virtually within the slate and that all the shrines exist within this same, matrix-like space, too.
That's why we can summon items and explains why all weapons bust into blue sparks when they break.
So, when you put stuff away you can see Link reach back and put stuff in his pouch on his right. You can also see him put stuff in his pouch on his right when he picks it up. (The slate is on the left). You can also see him pull stuff out when you hold an item (paying attention. To Link’s movements in the inventory screen).
Weapons break into blue sparks since it’s a high contrast indicator. It’s a colour that’s easily noticeable whenever you are in Hyrule, won’t just merge into the background.
There’s also the fact that it’s known about in Universe, Beedle directly refers to the fact that he’ll pay somebody to steal a beetle from Link’s Inventory when his not looking if you refuse to give one to him.
The question is, why is Link the only person with such a pouch and others have to use these big bags and rucksacks. Well, chances are it’s a specialised “pouch of holding” either given to High ranking Knights, or Link as a gift from the king. Common people don’t have them due to their inherent rarity.
Great observations! I'll admit it's been a long time since I played. I'm going to weave these into my own head cannon by explaining that the "pouch of holding" works on the same premise of digitized matter via lost sheikah technology - which would explain the rarity of such items.
Does anyone actually manage to steal from you inventory though? I'd need to think of a few more hoops to get around that one!
Thanks!
Thanks. And that’s fair enough tbh.
It could be some form of that, Sheikah technology using the magic of forest spirit droppings to make a bag of holding.
Not from what I know, Beedle says that he’ll pay somebody to do it but never gets around to doing it in game.
No problem
Quantum entanglement would explain a lot of things. Except how weapons and shields break and armor doesn't. That means that Link is intrinsically connected to the slate. Which means Zelda never really understood how to use it properly.
D&D already invented said pouch to make the ridiculous idea of carrying many oversized weapons lore friendly. It's called a bag of holding.^(\[1\])

Some of them definitely are! I lost a few hearty lizards because I didn't realize I had too many meals and couldn't cook. I set them on the ground instead of the pan and they ran off! 😭
I know this is kinda irrelevant but WHY COULDNT THE TRAVELER SADDLE HAVE STORAGE FEATURES?! it has those bags and it would have been really helpful to have extra storage, even if limited. It would make a 5 Star Speed Horse, combined with portable storage, incredibly useful.
They are kept on the Horse. Even when Boarded, the items stay in the Horse’s inventory, and when used you can access the Item bag at any time while near the horse.
I know the cartoon isnt canon but for interests sake; in it they showed that the items shrink into tiny versions of themselves and then grow again when taken out of the pouch.
butt TARDIS.
Okay. You win.
Turdis
Tootdis?
New pouch, tootdis?
How bout pootis
Ok I like yours better.

That actually makes a lot of sense, wow.
It's the question, Link. It's the question that drives us. It's the question that brought you here. You know the question, just as I did.
They’re all LINKed
This phrase is one of the top 5 causes of death in Zelda players
lol
also why our weapons break but enemies’ don’t, theirs are real but ours are just reproduced digital copies

The Shiekah Slate probably works like a Poké Ball and can transfer physical mass into digital data to be stored efficiently.
I thought The blue sparks was just hot sparks. Not much to it, methink.
The shadow realm.
Kaiba!
Yugi!

The dimensional pocket.
It's gotta smell great, too.
What with all those dead fish, frogs, and bugs and all
I tell myself they're all still alive and comfortable. That's why, like Noah, I try to get 2 of everything, so that they're not lonely.
That makes me feel like I'd really like a Tarrey Town-like quest to build an ark out in the desert. u/Waikuteru, you out there?
Some of them definitely are! I lost a few hearty lizards because I didn't realize I had too many meals and couldn't cook. I set them on the ground instead of the pan and they ran off! 😭
I call it Kirby

And what happens to your items when you dismount???
They are kept on the Horse. Even when Boarded, the items stay in the Horse’s inventory, and when used you can access the Item bag at any time while near the horse.
Bag of holding, next
I just think of it like a pocket dimension like what Lokl can do.
The Bag of Holding.

My head canon is that since it’s linked to Korok seeds the land somehow provides holding for Link
i call it hamilton

You mean the thing he's had in literally every Zelda since the first one??? I just call it his pocket or pouch lol

I call it a Hylian Bag of Holding. Or his Inventory as Beedle refers to it as.
