So the October 23rd rumor is deader than dead??


Anywho, really enjoying The Legend of Zelda XVIII right now (the story feels like something I'd expect from a Tingle game rather than Zelda though).

Man it seems that whenever I come back from my local EBGames there's some sort of news here.

So 18 characters. Could the two be Alex and Urien as Day one DLC?

You know...
I would've loved it if Purple Link was the final boss rather than whoever they got. It'd not only be hilarious, but it'd have some motive to it.
That be hilarious, have him corrupted by the power of not having fashionable outfits.
Uh huh. So it's the same Link from ALBW, except now he's a 'Hero Candidate different from Link himself.' Got it.

(-______-)
We established this yesterday, they seem to make up the Zelda timeline as they go along, and then contradict past statements.
I'm pretty sure some intern made this up on the spot, especially considering how sloppy their last reply was lol
Now this would make sense for what I stated above lol.
'Sorry sweeties, but I just HAVE to go to this fashion show! It is going to be faaaaabulooouuus!'
No fashion for you! And thus purple link died from not being fashionable enough. All why his friends show off their bold new looks.

Speaking of Zelda 4 player & Purple Link, I never understood why the Nintendo Land game had a Yellow Link rather than Purple (yes, I'm aware the Nintendo Land game is non-canon but still).



Nintendo must REEEEEEEAAAALLLLY hate purple for some reason.

Y'know, now that I think about it, purple villains tend to be very popular in stuff. Ridley, Green Goblin when he wore purple back in the day, Kamen Rider Ouja, blablabla. It's a very fitting colour for some reason
How you gonna not name the OG? Joker invented the Green and Purple color scheme.

Oh, I'm aware. It's why I don't consider Historia the be-all, end-all like so many others do.

I can take some of the historia as fact but it definitely leaves gaps and every game afterwards is harder to place in the timelines. I want to see either fans or Nintendo actually create a better version as each game releases to truly create a timeline. I feel like Nintendo doesn't make Zelda with any timeline at all, they just sort of have each title relate to each other.

Anouma cares about the timeline, to a certain extent, and he's made efforts to make it coherent. Miyamoto does not care about the timeline, and in fact, he's made efforts to purposefully muck up the efforts Anouma made to make it coherent. The two loudest voices in the room are asking for completely different things, and it makes things complicated very quickly. Then you have the games made by Capcom, which may as well be their own series with how little they truly connect to the big picture.

To be fair, the timeline is already screwed in every way possible. So trying to make a game all the while making sure it's within the timeline isn't the easiest thing to do. Especially with a long running franchise like Zelda.

Before I clicked on the spoiler, I thought the pre-order bonus was going to be someone like Darth Vader or Yoda as a DLC character for Smash.

I knew they had a small image, but they don't truly plan out a timeline because as you said they have conflicting views on whether or not there should be one. I could see in Future, Anouma making something that explains how he wanted the timeline to come together. Which if it does happen, that be an interesting thing to see.

This is true and probably contributes as well. especially since some of the games have a huge time skip from the last entry.

Maybe Ravio, a purple wearing Hylian, decided to stay in Lorule instead of being a Quad Force Hero! :upsidedown:
I would actually love if Ravio ended up being in Smash Bros or Hyrule Warriors and uses the other items you rent from him as his moveset. (as opposed to the "staple" items Link always has)

They just need to stop making prequels. It's actually pretty easy to just move forward.

We more or less know what Anouma attempted to do. Four Swords Adventure was set up to serve as a prequel to A Link to the Past, since Wind Waker had severed the connection between OoT and A Link to the Past. Miyamoto vetoed that decision very late into development. Now FSA just feels like a prequel to ALTTP, even though it isn't. :/

So Anouma improvised. He came up with the idea to split the timeline, which would allow OoT to lead into ALTTP, with TP serving as an interquel to explain away some inconsistencies, like the placement of the Master Sword. Miyamoto vetoed *that* decision, too. Because to him, OoT leads directly into ALTTP, and always should.

So now Anouma has basically thrown his hands up into the air and said 'Fine! There's a *third* timeline split, and no it doesn't make sense, but just go with, alright?'

Will be back to play Undertale later to beat the game. Not too keen about my decision yet.
haha you're definitely doing it right then if you regret your decisions on your first run. Just don't think it's over when you're done :p

Interesting. The timeline is definitely different then intended then, but we do ave t accept it as is as you said. That said, I don't find the official timeline terrible, yes it has it's problems, but it's bad. At least Anouma tried to do his best for the fans of the the series that really cared for the timeline.

Welp, my father was just transphobic right now and it doesn't help when he ignored what I said

What's going on here?
So Purple Link is taking " a break" from Triforce Heroes:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I think it'd be hilarious if Nintendo ended up putting that Splatoon direct out, but did it as soon as it's no longer the 23rd anywhere in the world so Roger would still be "wrong" but we still get what he claimed anyway.
