Legend of Zelda Single Link, Tetraforce, & Other dead theories

[Dragoon Fighter]

This thread is for all the theories that no longer make sence for reasons like:
The creators said no (example) http://www.zeldawiki.org/Tetraforce
Made logical sence at the time but with newer games the theory now looks silly (example) http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Single_Link_Theory
You can even post theories that could have merit but seem kind of silly (In my opinion an example) http://www.zeldawiki.org/Happy_Mask_Salesman (Skip to the part about him being an alien.)
Or you can even post a joke theory here ( i.e. your kinding and you do not realy belive in the theory you posted.), However even if you are kinding please use evidence. Who knows, you may mean it as a complete joke, but you never know...

I gave him permission to start this thread. Now discuss..

People still believe the Tetraforce.

It makes me sad that people could be so silly.

Like that group of people protesting spelling bee's in DC saying that English should be simplified. "Enuf is enuf" they say...






Remember the old Link and Princess are brother and sister theories? Good lawd. I'm happy they sniped that problem right between the eyes from 300 yards away with the GBA port of A Link to the Past.

Speaking of the GBA port of A Link to the Past..

Is the Temple of the Four Sword canon?

I used to think as a child that the triforce was broken and the bit in the middle was missing.. I allways thought it should be a complete triangle

I don't think so, but then again... we've had this conversation before, haven't we Spire?

 

[Lore]

I remember thinking that all the Links were the same when I was a kid...

The tetraforce theory is obviously wrong, but I would love to see a game where a villain creates an artificial 4th piece of the triforce to take it over.

It could take place in the WW branch of the timeline, and at the end of the game you have to destroy the whole triforce, thereby releasing the goddesses' grip on Hyrule.

I think it would be interesting to delve into a "devil" character for the Hyrule universe. Ganon comes close, but he isn't so much a devil as an evil entity. I'm talking a full-blown evil God, who perhaps creates his/her/it's own "Trifroce piece" (an inverted triangle) and bestows it onto the game's villain, possibly Ganon? I'd like to see the Goddesses/Gods of Hyrule in more depth, and it'd be better if they weren't all these benevolent good guys, since all religion has some sort of evil.

Doesn't sound happy enough to be a nintendo game... I know MM was quite dark but a game that is centered around evil? I can't see it happening

Isn't that what Majora more-or-less represented?

 

[XACE-K]

I love reading theories for games. It's so interesting what people think of and how some make sense.

Not really, one of the first things that happens is you get the bombers notebook where you're told to help out people in the town the game seems to be centered around helping people.

And the moon (which I think is the dark bit) isn't ACTUALLY evil. Nor does the title of the game sound particularly dark

 

[MattV1]

It's not like the game would be centered around that one aspect. Yes, it would be the overall plot, but it's hardly impossible to toss in the typical Zelda stuff we know and love. Just because the general idea would be "the devil has sent an avatar of evil to destroy Hyrule" hardly means it would have to become some un-Zeldaish, super grimdark story.

I just think that it'd be interesting, for once, to explore the notion of true evil in a Zelda game. In Zelda universe all Goddesses, Deities, and Spirits are good. It would be fun to explore the other side. I wouldn't anticipate a "thin line between good and evil" story, because that just isn't Nintendo, but being face to face with evil itself could bring something neat to the series.

I'm talking about the spirit Majora, not the game itself.

Sleeping timeline

Ok I mean the following theory as a complete joke.

Allright this states that most of the legend of zelda games are dreams of the real Link and that there is only two real Links. (The Pink bunny hero and the one from LoZ)

Real Links Timeline: LoZ-AoL-Alttp-AoL

Real Link #1 Dreams include: the four sword arc. ,Oot ,MM , & TP

Real Link #1 Nightmares include: AHHH its tingle make it STOP!!!! HELP over 100 redeads and I do not have an ocorina! four sword mutiple personality syndrom.

Real Link #2 Dreams include: PH, WW, ST, everthing else.

Real Link #2 Nightmares include: turning into toon link, The Cd-i games, The Cd-i games, The Cd-i games.

Possible poof, he dreams up an entire adventure, why not dream more?

Disclamer: I do not endorse this theory I am only kidding around (thus why I posted it here.)

 

[finalark]

One of the most insane theories I've ever heard is that at the beginning of Majora's Mask, Link commits suicide and Termina is Hell.

And the people in question were dead serious.

Wow...your right about it being pretty far out there.

Tetraforce Theory

Though many of you may not believe the tetraforce exists, i believe it does. if you look at the triforce, you notice the missing piece. I believe the piece that is missing could possibly be time. My thought behind this is because he is the hero of time and he connects the pieces together.

Ahahahahaha looks like MattV1 predicted Demise!

Then why does Link wield the Triforce of Courage than the Tetraforce of Time, since he is the hero of time?

A lot of people like to say it is time due to MM, however Skyward Sword addresses the idea of the Goddess of Time as well as

Spoiler

the Goddess hylia being the Goddess of time

And while it mentions every idea that people used to justify the tetraforce it also puts that idea to rest by not mentioning any forth piece or even the triforce ever having been touched beforehand. I'd go into better detail as to why there's no longer any proof for a tetra force but itd just involve a lot of spoilers outside the SS spoiler thread.

 

[Problem2]

Maybe reviving this thread isn't the best move to talk about this, but I believe that there might be a Tetraforce after all. Well, maybe this fourth Triangle doesn't share the same origin story as the Triforce, but here me out.

I've been trying to figure out more about the Light Force mentioned in the Minish Cap. Hyrule Historia creates a distinction between the Light Force and the Triforce. According to The History of Hyrule: A Chronology, the Sages seal away the Triforce in the sacred realm before the events of Minish Cap, yet Zelda is the secret bearer of the Light Force. Remember how Zelda is the reincarnation of Hylia? Yeah, that unexplained 4th Goddess. Once again, Skyward Sword makes sure to bring a distinction between Hylia and the other three: Din, Naryu, and Farore. So far, none of the games present a clear explanation for what the Life Force is. Hyrule Historia says that it was once a power that "dwelled in all things" and that it was brought by the Picori, who descended from the heavens. I don't have a concrete explanation for why the Picori were the ones to bring the Hyrule the Light Force. Maybe they were a race that lived hidden in island in the skies for a long time during Skyward Sword, and they descended down when they saw that Hyrule was in danger again.

The main point is that I think the Light Force is the essence of Hylia herself. Obviously, Zelda has a secret inner power that she inherited by being the reincarnation of Hylia. Ghiriham harnesses it in order to revive Demise. Vaati is after Zelda for her "Light Force". In the Oracle games, Twinrova try to sacrifice Zelda to revive Ganon. It's a repeated theme throughout the series. I do not think that the fourth triangle is meant to belong inside the center of the Triforce. I think the creators of Zelda took advantage of the shield's design, and it retro-actively represents the slightly different 4th goddess that is now very important to the storyline of Zelda.
