I already explained the "old gods" in my above post. Why are those "new gods" no longer relevant in the games further down the series? |
I agree on the paradoxes though. Can't explain why the storyline ends the way it does considering Demise is destoyed in the past too.
As for the old gods vs. the new ones...maybe the irrelevance is the explanation after all? I mean, I thought Hylia was just a lake until SS...just imagine how the people in, say, the time of LttP would feel about Hylia. Din/Farore/Nayru are synonymous with the creation of Hyrule. You can't forget them. But SS could be millenia before games like TP or LttP. And then there are lesser deities like Zephos and Cyclos that Link meets on a whim. Hyrule has so much history, all the gods can't stay relevant forever. By the point in time where the others are forgotten, using new and old as a distinction seems redundant.
And looking at the Zelda Wiki, there are way more deities in this series than I remembered.
