Ganon chads where we at
what the frick man
No one cares about properly doing the effort to connect the games, not even the devs. What’s so hard about enjoying them as standalone experiences? (unless they are direct sequels)
if they don't care they shouldn't put all this drama and narrative in the games in the first place, the old games were more minimal on that end
If they don't care they should've just made it a new IP. Sadly they only care from the easy marketing perspective.
That's dumb, not everything needs a canon and continuity. A series can be defined by a set of shared motifs and aesthetics throughout the games.
>explain how Skyward Sword links with Tears of the Kingdom. Is the founding of Hyrule in TotK before or after SS?
After, SS Zelda and Link did not found Hyrule Kingdom. They simply returned tl the surface to repopulate it. This was stated as lore back in 2011.
>but SS isn't canon in Tears!
Bargaining statue references Hylia by name and her being real, also goddess statue in Zonal Temple of Time proves that it's AFTER Skyward Sword.
Ganondorf prime exists after Demise, he's Demise's first curse realized since the secret stone amplifies Ganondorf's already latent evil magic which proves that he was already magically evil.
>canon
Lose that word from your vocabulary. Forget you ever saw it.
Make me
>After, SS Zelda and Link did not found Hyrule Kingdom. They simply returned tl the surface to repopulate it.
Then suddenly they became olive skinned and mixed with goat people.
That's what Sheikah were, although you only see Impa in SS. TotK implies that the Shiekah icon even comes from the Zonai, painted on their face with an actual third eye on the forehead.
Well that confuses it further because the Sheikah icon already existed in SS
see
still doesn't explain how the Sheikah got their symbol from the Zonai. Sonia looks as if she's a Sheikah from SS Impa's time, who had blonde hair rather than white. It looks like their implying that Sheikah are closer to old Hylians in TotK and why they were able to recreate Zonai tech.

All of this is literally just speculation.
The founding of Hyrule is for THIS Hyrule, not the first ever Hyrule. The "memories" still take place around 10,000 years after the main timeline.
Dumb as frick, but that's just how it be with Zelda.
Also, you can hear Fi talk to Zelda in that one memory. So yes, SS is still canon.
>Dumb as frick, but that's just how it be with Zelda.
I think to think of the Kingdom of Hyrule keeps getting destroyed and refounded over the millennia. In Skyward Sword "Hyrule" even existed before then, but it was destroyed and they retreated into the sky islands. It was also destroyed in Wind Waker and its related games and refounded elsewhere. Then there's also references to times where wars destroyed everything and it can also be assumed that when super advanced technology was used it led to the downfall of the people who used it.
sounds like demise is just jacking off on hyrule
The only way it works is if there's a timeline split in SS when Link goes to fight Demise
Zelda hasn't been Zelda since.... probably since the Oracle games. They've turned into into something unrecognizable. You either like it or you don't.
hahaha what the frick
basically any discrepancy is going to hand waved with parallel dimension time splits by homosexuals.
Just like Nintendo.
it werks for me
this is completely wrong, Botw and TotK are linked to OoT, the foundation of this Hyrule is still far in the future of that timeline. It's not even the first refoundation of the kingdom, same thing happened in Wind Waker timeline. It's not the same land, or simply not the same kingdom for what we know, it could've happened a lot of shit since there are like 10105 years between the memories of totk Zelda in the past and the older titles.
Cope. Ganondorf in TotK is just OoT without the Triforce and Ocarina of Tine.
Headcanon is accepted. Better then OoT Link losing to Ganondorf.
they probably regret Skyward Sword because of how unfinished it was. TotK is a proper stab at the floating island thing.
>explain how Skyward Sword links with Tears of the Kingdom.
It's simple: it doesn't.
No, here's how Nintendo explains it in the "Creating a Champion" book:
On page 360, we can see that the "Age of Myth" is the one where the rest of the games happen. From Skyward to the end of the three timelines, which are Zelda 2, Four Swords Adventures, and Spirit Tracks. Then we go so far into the future that non of that really matters anymore and now those legends have turned into myth. This is why Zelda in the first memory of BotW not only mentions the Master Sword going from the sky to the twilight and in the background she can be heard saying that it also crossed the seas (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqPE8gETuuE).
As for Ganondorf, he is not the same as the one that we see in the "Age of Myth" since, at some point or another, he dies as Ganondorf as seen in the prelude to ALttP, Twilight Princess, and Wind Waker. However, the Demon King entity is reborn multiple times throughout time, as seen with the Reborn Ganon in ALttP, Ganon in Four Swords Adventures, and Spirit Tracks in Maladus. The Ganondorf from Tears is a completely new Gerudo born from 10,000 before Breath of the Wild, then he was sealed by Rauru but the powers of the Demon King were still active thus the need of an Ancient Hero (Mysterious Zonnan with the soul of the hero), a Royal descendant (because Sonnia wasn't the only one in the royal line) and the help of the Four Sages and their new Divine Beasts. Then, the events of 100 Years Ago happen, after that it's BotW, and some seven-ish years later, Tears of the Kingdom.
