@emelie:

If by "accepted" you mean "accepted by GameTrailers.com staff". :P

It never made any sense. How did Hyrule come back from absolute destruction when there was only a single citizen left (Princess Zelda)?


And yeah, Eiji Anouma said that the Wind Waker takes place ~100 years after the adult Link ending of the Ocarina, but I don't believe him. :P

 

oh you didn't, i didn't want to do this, but you've pushed me, is time for zelda history lesson:

the minish cap is the first, theres no legend of the great hero, theres no conncection between the 3 chosen by the triforce, anything, just the story of the master sword. ocarina of time follows theres still no reference to the legendary hero, but the master sword exists, this is were the bond between ganon, zelda and link is formed and the 3 will battle in repeating loops. here is were the time line gets interesting, first kid timeline

kid timeline: link goes to zelda, tells her of her plans and ganon is imprisoned, so zelda hands down the ocarina to link and he sets to find his lost friend. now majoras mask(the greatest game ever) here links adventures through termina and his final fate is unkwon, hough we see him venture through the lost woods at the end of the game, so it is plausible he returned to hyrule. then the original legend of zelda, the hero returns to face ganon and once again rescue princess zelda, this one is easiy placed here. links adventure, zelda is asleep as a new hero hasn't returned, link appears and fights his own evil encarnation. triforce of the gods(or the horrible translation "a link to the past") many references are made to a man of great evil who wanted the triforce and then was imprisoned in the golden land, zelda, link and ganon appear again as the 3 chosen by the triforce, the master sword is also present. links awakening is a direct sequel so no question there. the next 2 games are the tricky ones and are only placed here as tehy have no other place in the timeline

 

adult timeline: ganon fucked hyrule up, he was banished by zelda and then as we can see in twilight princess stabbed by the sages(eventhough he manages to kill 2 of em) and banish to the dark realm. hundreds of years later twilight princess happens, hyrule is rebuilt, probably by zelda and the people of kakariko village, link, zelda and ganon are once again those chosen by the triforce, many references are made to the hero of ocarina of time, specially the one who teaches you the special skills, ganon is defeated again. the time that passes is unkwon, but ganon returned and link didn't, so the goddeses knowing ganon would fuck the world up, flooded hyrule preventing ganon from destroying everything. then win waker, link is back, once again, he zelda and ganon are the ones chosen by the triforce, many references are made to the legendary hero, wether this is the hero of twilight princess or teh one of ocarina of time is unkwon and irrelevant as it still places this in the adult timeline. phantom hourglass is a direct sequel. the oracle is only placed here cause it doesn't fit anywhere else

Okay, a few things:

1) It would help if you could use your shift key. Really. A lot. Maybe spellcheck and a few more periods too.

2)It has been stated that fans shouldn't try to grasp for a cohesive Zelda timeline, as there really isn't one. The most plausible theories take into account multiple timelines.

3)There are not 'young' and 'adult' timelines. The general, logical consensus is that there are various incarnations of Link who generally have two games apeice, though if Spirit Tracks is indeed WW timeline then we'll have 3.

4)These various Links and their respective timelines, for the most part, have no concrete way of being chronologically measured up against each other. Treat 'em as seperate and ineffectual on each other if you don't have solid proof of their order.

5)See that part I bolded? Wrong. The Link of Legend is called the Hero of Time througout Wind Waker, not to mention (more importantly), TWILIGHT PRINCESS DID NOT EXIST WHEN WIND WAKER CAME OUT. WW Link is one of the few Link's whose timeline can be gauged against any other Link's; namely, the OoT/MM timeline, although even this is only heavily intimated, not explicitly stated in the games.

 

 

 

1.whats the shift key for???

2.making timelines and woving the story together is fun, and a good way to add depht to a no so deep story

3.yes, and watch the timeline i made, all of them are diferent links and 2 games a piece(small compilation:1.LOZ, AOL. 2.ALTTP,LA 3. OOT, MM 4. OOA, OOS 5. WW, PH. 6. MC is independent. 7. FSA is independent 8.TP is independent as of now)

4.nintendo has stated there is a timeline, wheter this is true or not is not of my matters

5.i have a crap load of zelda, that i didn't remember that is of little importance and who knows, maybe TP was in plannig stages when WW was made so if theres a clear story and is told in a non linear way, they can make refercnes to games that haven't come out, cause they eventually will, but your right, i messed up
