The way I see of it Good Guy Ganon is in the same boat as playable Zelda - wishful thinking from fans who want to see a shake up from the Zelda story "format".

Link is the Hero, Ganon(dorf) is the villain and Zelda is the damsel in distress. It's an outdated trope but not one I expect them to move away from anytime soon.

The problem with comparing the color scheme to beast Ganon's is that beast Ganon is right there. If Ganon amd Ganondorf really are seperated here, they wouldn't need to share color schemes. Besides that, Ganon and Ganondorf have always been treated as different forms of the same entity in lore - the two being seperate beings is mostly fanon interpretation.

I'm a believer in the theory that the green hand is an ancient Zonai keeping Ganondorf at bay, and that Ganondorf has slowly been leaking out Malice to create Calamity Ganon and the Blights to act as puppets on his behalf.

While this is probably true. What makes you think the title would be then?

Also look at that picture, the hero has the colors of Beast Ganon from later games. The calamity has the ganondorf color scheme.

If they merged, this would explain his looks and appearances in every game going forward. It would also explain how the third tri force holder came to be. Something I can’t recall any Zelda game given a definite answer on Ganon’s origins of having the tricot with of power. Yeah he’s strong, but I don’t think there’s been more on that story.

something that could theoretically happen if this theory panned out.

The other problem with the zonai tribe is that we never see Link incarnate in a civilization like that. For example, ocarina of time, he’s in a forest civilization.

In other games, he usually is born into castle town an urban town build around the wide open plains. link is usually tied into Lush nature environments l, not a jungle background. Assuming their origin is there.

It could also be assumed that based on the ruins in the trailer, their civilization also once stood where the castle is, but was lost to time.

At the end of the day, it’s probably going to be the more simple Ganon is bad like you said, and nothing stops them from changing link’s origins up. But it’s interesting speculation none the less.

....isn't BotW at the end of the timeline though? It wouldn't make sense for this to be Ganon's origin story.

I don't think we've been given a timeline placement for it.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Personally I think the Zelda timeline is meaningless and we should see the games as standalone unless shown otherwise as I personally don't like trying to link them all together

 

[TheCJBrine]

I don't think we've been given a timeline placement for it.

Aren’t there things in the game that suggest it takes place after at least some of the past games, like OoT? Landmarks and legends/story stuffs or whatever?

 

[Shroob]

I don't think we've been given a timeline placement for it.

I mean, it kinda has to be at the end, or at the least, close to it. They reference the Hero of Time, Twilight, and...whatever SS' Hero is called in the memories. Can't really reference OoT and then go onto have a Ganon origin story(Esp since that's basically the first instance of Ganondorf in the timeline).

 

[Deleted member]

I personally think the idea that Ganon is the hero is a bit too farfetched for them to go all in with it.

BOTW was all about moving away from the tropes and conviences they had stuck to throughout the franchise, but I don't think they'll do that again when BOTW sold so well. If ain't broke, don't fix it, eh?

So this apparently happened during last night's match between France and Germany at the 2020 Euros.

Why the **** would you parachute into a ****ing football game??????????

Just gonna share this, don't mind me.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[TheMightyP]

So now that we know who the character was, who was the "leaked" fighter? Master Chief?

Yeah it was chief.

Mutliples peoples, not just Verge, thought it be him, but lo and behold, Tekken Time boyz.

 

[Deleted member]

I don't understand why I keep getting ads for this stupid game

 

[Metal Shop X]

Can I say that whoever is making the Arts since Metroid 2 Remake need a raise? Their style work sooooooo freakin' well for Metroid, I can't wait to see more of their works in the full game & artbook.

I love the fact they made sure the design of Samus armors looked as close as they were back in the original game. They did something similar with the artwork of Samus fighting Mother Brain, but those new pics shown they love Metroid.

I thought it took place earlier in the timeline. I could be wrong though. I thought a lot of it was meant to set up the other games. Still we have 3 alternate routes in the timeline. It’s possible this story with Ganondorf could occur on one of the others. Like potentially a split route in the adult timeline.

Verge was all in on chief. I also saw people saying he or others backed them champions as one character rumor and a double reveal at E3. Both of which were really bold things to claim given the likelihood of any of that working in smash.

BOTW was confirmed to be the latest game within any timeline, we just don't know for sure which timeline.

It is ridiculous and I've seen a few bizarre incidents happening within past football matches but I have never seen something like this before.

Other than that, I am just glad to see that Christian Eriksen is doing well after what had happened during the Denmark and Finland match.

It was an accident. Appearently his cords got tangled up and sent him off course.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Oh wait, Danganronpa is Physical exclusive?! Aw mannnn. Do inreally have to buy a physical game, why cant it be digital too

 

[Noipoi]

The collection is physical, but you can buy each game separately digital.

Not the best, but y’know.

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Wait what?! For real?

also, why

nvm Noipoi beat me to it

 

[Deleted member]

Aw yeah, been a pretty nice week so far: got vaccinated (with the second shot being late August), Advance Wars is back and Tekken got into Smash. Personally I'd have preferred Heihachi, but Kazuya's a pretty good choice as well. And hell, Namco really was long overdue for a second character.

Now all we need is either Akira or Jacky and we'd have Street Fighter x Tekken x Fatal Fury x Virtua Fighter.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Goooooodddd morning people! How y'all doing!

To think we're still in speculation for another 3-4 months eh? We surely are in the endgame now.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Nah, thats bull****
Just make the collection digital also because I hate hate buying pysical games but i guess I have to

 

[Pokelego999]

Nah, thats bull****

That PFP with that statement is funny due to the sheer contrast.

 

[Z25]

BOTW was confirmed to be the latest game within any timeline, we just don't know for sure which timeline.

Interesting. I could actually see it on the hero loses timeline of Ganon is the hero in Impas story. Perhaps we see the world try to reincarnate link but end up with a ganondorf body instead.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I guess ill have to keep my eye on gamestops website but...

Boo, physical games

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I don't think we've been given a timeline placement for it.

it supposedly takes place after all the other Zelda games, connecting all timelines to that and AoC

 

[Deleted member]

Nah, thats bull****

I personally prefer buying physical.

I just like the feeling of a physical cartridge

I hate physical games, they take up space, i lose them easy and I am to lazy to get up and switch games. MK8D have been in my switch for months

 

[Rie Sonomura]

Also, Warchamp7 im once again missing several posts from yesterday and today in my post history

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Aw boo, Ill just order the game from amazon, at least then I cannuse that free prime trial to cop the game with free shipping

I only use Amazon when they give me a free prime tial anyway or if I have to buy my rabbit food

 

[dezeray112]

Can't E3 is finished for this year.

Anyways, there are still a number of events to look forward to such as San Diego Comic-con next month (hopefully for some MCU and DCEU news), EVO 2021 (hopefully for fighting game news) and many more.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Would be cool if Kazuya got his Link costume like he did in the Wii U port of Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

So like, the Evangelion characters dont come with Cruel Angels thesis when they pop up in Robot wars while everyone else does in fact get their anime themes as battle music.

...That's honestly pretty weird.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Spoiler: Loki won the day again

Lady Loki
Enchantress
whoever she ends up being…hype

This sounds extremely petty lol Physical exclusive was a good choice and more collections should do it.

Dont care, i hate it. Not saying it should be digital only, just make it both digital and physical

 

[Michael the Spikester]

One month until Space Jam: A New Legacy.

For those looking forward to it. I'll watch out of curiosity myself.

Loki was right in saying Wednesdays are the new Fridays
