I've actually been reading this thread for a long time and i read all of the split timeline theory and what not.
It will probally transform the way Link does into a wolf in that way. But this next zelda game is seriously going to be great it will definatly have a good story line if the girl is the sword and the gameplay will be great aswell better then Link transforming into a wolf.
No, Navi definitely went back with Link, just like she followed him through time each time he switched. We saw her leave him in the Master Sword room once they return. Remember, when she flies away from him and out the one window up high in the back.
Maybe it's supposed to symbolize yet another barrier breaking Zelda plot element that no one's gonna understand lol
True.
False.
Where's mah Master Document...
Just curious, but what do you mean? The most recent game was PH, which clearly fits into the timeline without any issues, as far as I remember. And before that, TP clearly takes place after OoT. If anything, they do care, at least somewhat. So I'm not sure what you mean by them not caring.
Minish Cap, if it is truly the beginning, is more like a prologue. OoT really gets the main story, the one that's the main focus of most of the timeline, started. But yes, according to our theory, MC is the actual first.
I mean, they "care" in the sense that they will arbitrarily lift things from older games to play up the nostalgic effect. Wind Waker did this skilfully with the descent into frozen Hyrule, my personal favorite moment in any Zelda. Twilight Princess did it pretty egregiously throughout, in a pretty muddled and unsatisfying way.
Except for the fact that Aonuma's personal goal with the series is to make a game that beats OoT in every way. Because of this mindset, everything they have made thus far (sans MM) has yet to beat it. With OoT, they weren't trying to trump LoZ, AoL, ALttP, or LA, they were simply trying to reinvision "The Legend of Zelda" (not the first game) in an innovative, welcoming 3D format, with of course, an incredible amount of strucutral and plot inspiration from ALttP. Remember, OoT was actually created as a true prequel to ALttP, due to the introduction of the "Unification (Imprisoning) War" and the "Seven Sages" with the SNES title.
But what about the timeline? Yes, we understand all of this, but you're forgetting the timeline discussion. Nintendo probably DOES (at least somewhat) care about a timeline. Miyamoto has announced relationships between the games before that connect the timeline, for example, when he announced that WW and TP were parallel, or when OoT was announced as a prequel to ALttP, or when ALttP was announced as a sequel to AoL. Miyamoto is hiding a timeline somewhere, and there is hidden evidence within the games. If the sequel-prequel games were only there as a business tactic, then the evidence showing connections between the games would not be so hidden. For example, it took us pages of debating to decide that TP is a sequel to MM. Of course, Spire III's timeline was drawn from all of this evidence - that which was hidden in the games, and that of which was announced by Miyamoto himself. If you can use evidence provided in such a way to create your own timeline, then there must be a master timeline. With the split timeline ending in OoT, we can only assume that a series of games follows both timelines. You see, if the connections between games were merely business strategies, why were they so creative to split the timeline and make it obvious which two games followed - WW and MM? And then make PH an obvious sequel to WW? There's a piece of the timeline already confirmed - no matter how you look at it. There must be a logical way to connect the rest.
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! FRAKKING INTERNET! I had typed out a lengthy post and of course my wifi crashed and upon submitting my reply, it screwed everything up. Bull****. The internet is a love/hate relationship.
From this, we can reasonably believe Link spent some time with Zelda when he returned.That article I linked a few posts up said:
The Deku butler, when you complete his maze and get the Scent Mask, talks about his son who would do the maze with him, but has gone away. You remind him of his son as well. Tatl comments on the tree earlier, saying that it looks sad and that it's almost watching you, or something like that. What I've heard is that the Butler's son was off wandering in the woods for whatever reason, and was in the wrong place at the wrong time. When Skull Kid had his run-in with Link and turned him into a Deku Scrub, he took the Deku mask from the Butler's son, turning him into the tree form. Your Deku mask, like the Goron and Zora ones, was created at the cost of a life. You just didn't see it happen like that in the game.
Yeah, the salesman and the kids are actually the tribe that held the Majora's Mask. You see, their parallel in Hyrule (prbably the Sheikah) were banished to the Twilight Realm (the darkened Sacred Realm after Ganondorf split the Triforce), so the parallel worlds caused the tribe that held the Majora's Mask to be banished to the moon - which is, evidently, the parallel of the Sacred Realm. Assuming that Impa is the only remaining Sheikah of Hyrule, the salesman must be her parallel. Although, Termina is not a complete mirror of Hyrule, because if it was, the Sacred Realm would be plummeting into the Temple of Time.
It seems as if the Clock Tower is parallel to the Temple of Time, since through both you can enter the Sacred Realm, or in Termina, the moon. Although, considering the fact that the kids are here on the moon (the Sacred Realm's parallel) it is easy to believe they are the Sheikah's parallel, since the Sheikah were banished before. Here's another thought - what about the Majora's Mask? Doesn't it look like it could be parallel to the Mask of Truth? And there is more evidence in TP - there are Sheikah emblems everywhere at Palace of Twilight, and the Fused Shadow and Majora's Mask are almost identical. I'm also beginning to think that Link opening the Sacred Realm in Hyrule is what caused the moon to fall upon Termina.
I'd highly consider FS/FSA taking place before LoZ/AoL. As long as they all come before ALttP, then it's safe.
Oh - yeah, you're right about the fused shadow. I must not have been thinking clearly. Thanks though. It really didn't take as long as I thought it would, but yours was nice too. Thinking about the Triforce was definitely a safer method for figuring out the timeline.Remember Phantom7 - the Mask of Truth is obtainable in MM, so it's not the equivalent. If MM is an equivalent to anything, it's most likely the Fused Shadow.
Nice visual timeline though
Uhhhh no. It's a parallel world to Hyrule, reached via a wormhole of a sort.
I doubt it. I think it is safest to say that he is one of the male Gerudo, descended after the Gerudos' banishment. On second thought, it may just be the Gerudo and Sheikah, and not another separate tribe. There's nothing telling us that the Sheikah didn't own the Fused Shadows. They may just be the dark interlopers, who used the Fused Shadows to invade the Sacred Realm. I would think that the Sheikah are more likely to have used the Fused Shadows than the Gerudo, because they are often associated with masks and dark powers. As for the Gerudos, they were theives, so it's not unlikely that they were eventually banished.
Exactly why I haven't responded.
