And many more, some I don't even want to mention because I know you coomer tards will be obnoxious about it. Anyway, these guys have wasted years and years of their life maintaining this narrative and they keep going crazier and crazier because they're too moronic to admit that they made a mistake. No one ever told them that just because they made a mistake for a long time doesn't mean they should keep making it. Something is wrong with their brains though if they can't figure that out on their own. They have been trained to do this. To maintain lies. They refuse to stop.

Twilight Princess takes place in the world of Ocarina of Time, a hundred and something years after the peace returned to kid Link’s time. In the last scene of Ocarina of Time, kids Link and Zelda have a little talk, and as a consequence of that talk, their relationship with Ganon takes a whole new direction. In the middle of this game [Twilight Princess], there's a scene showing Ganon's execution. It was decided that Ganon be executed because he'd do something outrageous if they left him be. That scene takes place several years after Ocarina of Time. Ganon was sent to another world and now he wants to obtain the power...

            There is a timeline. Unless you're gonna say Aonuma's wrong too. I'm pretty sure TP and WW are finished games, too.

                This interview is not canon. It was just a guess he made based on what he knew and his own personal headcanons at the time. It's easily disproven by just playing the game because it does not take place in the world of ocarina of time and if it did it would have to be trillions of years later at the earliest.

            Zelda timeline garbage has always been nonsense, the games are meant to be viewed stand alone. Some have some connections, and some are direct sequels, but that's it. The greater franchise isn't connected and doesn't need to be.

The connections are unplanned and inconsequential at best beyond setting the stage or having Ganondorf again or just a little nod to the player, like the Deku Tree dialogue in WW. OP, however, is a complete moron in utter denial of even these little connections.

                I feel also with totk, Nintendo is entering a phase of no longer giving a shit trying to maintain any loose connections out of references. Im sure they treat the last two main games as a reboot of sorts and are just going to base everything around them as a bedrock now and just ignore any timeline they did have set uo, however loose it was.

They said exactly the same things that were later put into the Hyrule Historia. People like you were too stupid to understand what they meant at the time, just like you are now. Everyone with a brain understood how the split timeline worked when it was explained.

          I wish there was a Zelda game that actually embraced how full schizo the whole Hyrule geography/timeline is, and actually confronting whatever gods determined this Zelda cycle exist.
          It's a shame cause the TP manga touches upon it, and they'll never have events of a prior game be directly referenced, even if it's a direct sequel. Like how TotK never references anything directly from BotW, being purposefully vague.
          It's so frustrating, cause it could be some insane timey wimey inter-dimensional kino.

            I always felt from day 1 it was incredibly forced and half baked. This was further reaffirmed when they would just randomly shift shit around after a new game came out.

            Zelda fans should be demanding from Nintendo more narrative coherence like in the early days of the franchise. But I don't see how people hold on to the notion that the entire Zelda series can neatly fit in together and that the timeline makes sense, especially after BOTW and TOTK. I just don't see it.

      the issue with the "official timeline" is that we've gotten two now, and there are revisions to the timeline in the second version to accommodate new games that came out after the original timeline. The problem is that the revisions aren't just adding the new games to the timeline, they're *moving games that were already placed on the timeline to a different place on the timeline*.

      It completely invalidates the entire timeline, because if they're going to change a game(s) position on it to better suit later games, then every game's placement is arbitrary.

        The only retcon they've made to the timeline was shift around the order of Link's Awakening and the Oracle games. It barely even makes a difference since, IIRC, they still maintained it was the same Link.
        I don't see how this invalidates the timeline. If they start saying SS happens after OoT or something major like that, then you'll have a point.

          Zora married a Rito. Did Hylians turn into gerudo just because hudson has a gerudo daughter? Also another thing, if we're talking about evolution or whatever, did monkeys turn into humans? NO! We don't know anything and there is no evidence that anything turned into anything. People just made that up to fit as a part of their mythos, this fake "zelda timeline" narrative. We do not know why her ancestor was a Zora. We don't know what it means. Shut the frick up.

            But unlike Hylians and Gerudo, there are no instances of a Zora and Rito couple having a child, or the Zora being able to have a child with the other races at all. Even if it was possible, the lack of any Zora in the game would imply that the Rito outbreed and subsumed the Zora.

            We don't know how it happened or why, but the fact that the Rito and Zora are connected in WW is not speculation, it's fact. This isn't me trying to connect the games or anything like that, this is just from the content that is in WW itself.

            Personally I believe their transformation was magical in nature, possibly a blessing from Din to save them from the flood. Natural evolution doesn't make sense in Hyrule.

                They were in Ocarina, but in WW they returned to flood Hyrule. Though they don't do this in WW, they've left behind dragons that carry a part of their power in several of the games.
                >Also, why you choose Din specifically?
                Because the rito live on death mountain which has always been associated with Din, and they possess Din's pearl.

                The Zonai are regularly described as being like gods, and took the secret stones from the heavens. The Zonai are basically Zelda's angels or aasimar.

                Why do Zelda fans go utterly insane over a lore book, something that virtually any long running Japanese series has? Hyrule Historia is nothing unusual, but people get their panties in such a bunch over it

      There are two groups screaming. The ones who want zelda to have some semblance of sense, consistency and decent lore. And then there's the morons who don't care about anything other than defending nintendo and think totk was acceptable.

      Which itself is paradoxal since Botw absolutely is connected in blatantly states ways to the past game, which makes its sequel confusing. They should have just waited for a completely new game and just out right stated its a full on reboot of the IP completely unconnected to anything story related before it.

    Why are morons still trying to come up with a Zelda timeline. It’s like Final Fantasy in that the games are each their own standalone story that occasionally gets a direct sequel but that’s about it. Sometimes the games might have some easter eggs referencing the other entries but that’s about all the connection they have. Trying to find an overarching timeline in Zelda games is as moronic as trying to find one in Mario games, there just just isn’t any.

    With Zelda the best way to approach the continuity is to assume each game is an entirely different story unless previous entries are integral to the plot of the game in question. So for an example Majora's Mask needs to have OoT precede it in order to function properly. Same with Wind Waker and OoT. So by that logic you can surmise that prior to Wind Waker OoT and MM happened and that's the story of Wind Waker, which isn't necessarily connected to any other game besides OoT and MM. Except when it obviously is connected because Phantom Hourgalss needs Wind Waker in order to make sense and same for Spirit Tracks. So you could say there is a continuous story of OoT, MM, WW, PH, ST, and this story isn't really connected to the story that seeds itself from BotW for example.

      the timeline isn't really concerned with story connections, but rather history. prior to BotW everything was placed neatly in a historical timeline. the devs decides with BotW to just include as many homages and callbacks as they could, even tying both Zora and Ruto into the main plot, which means a retcon is in order. before then Anounuma said Zora evolved into Rito but clearly they do not want that to be the case now.

    There is no storyline, because it's a LEGEND - every game is literally a story being told, but the details of the story change as it passes from generation to generation, or civilization to civilization
    >Link could travel through time with an ocarina...
    >Link had a magic shrinking hat...
    >Link could turn into a wolf...
    >Link was a sailor on a remote island...
    But the core of the story is always the same:
    >a hero named Link rescues a Princess named Zelda from an evil king named Ganondorf

    Why can't people just accept that there is no timeline to Zelda games, but it is a neat little adventure where the MC and the heroine gets recycled multiple times together with a lot of different things that are similar but not the same to the other games, like Final Fantasy?

      I explained it didn't I? They have been trained to maintain lies for no reason, even when it is detremental to themselves. This is a side effect of that. Some autist got excited about new "lore" when they saw that part in the concept art book and told everyone it was fact, and these guys bought it. Now, five thousand years later they are still defending it to the death, even though it has been proven 100% wrong. They're scared of what will happen if they admit they were wrong.

      People think that games having some sequels means you can build an entire overarching timeline around it. It's moronic. And then Nintendo attempted to pander to these morons. So now we're here. Anyone with half a brain can see the a coherent timeline for Zelda became impossible fairly early on.

        Completely coherent? Yeah Nintendo blew that for sure. But there is a throughly between the larger majority of the games, even if the details get iffy.

      I've been a fan since I played Link's Awakening on my original gameboy, and I've always called out timeline threads and the autists that inhabit them as being ridiculous nonsense for a series that's clearly meant to be akin to classic FF style "Similar pieces, but different beats".

      Because regardless of how dumb it comes off the fact remains that Nintendo published and endorsed it. After once a decade of saying it exists. This isn't Zelink or Vaati throwing up fanfiction on YouTube, Nintendo's word is law with regards to their properties.

      If Nintendo didn't want there to be a timeline then it would've been 100% possible to just not do it. No one ever questions the timeline of the a Mario games. Miyamoto never said or implied that there was a timeline to the Mario games. The difference being that Nintendo lied and then got angry with fans for believing them.

          Actually it wasn't one random moron it was 2 random morons. They being Auonuma and Miyamoto. In publication with Dark Horse in partnership with Nintendo. Therefore it is officially endorsed by Nintendo. Up until 2018 when Hyrule Historia was superceded by Creating A Champion, also by Nintendo.

          What you're doing is seeing the actual creators and producers of these games who are giving context into why and what the settings and assets mean and plugging your ears and saying "nah that doesn't count." Not realizing that the people who are mad about the timeline are mad for the same reasons. Nintendo can't keep their story straight up until Breath of the Wild where they stopped trying. If Nintendo came out and said from the beginning that each game was its own individual world divorced from the others then this would never be a conversation. But because they, being Auonuma and Miyamoto, made it clear that there was an overarching narrative then the onus is on them for creating that expectation.

And if it's not in any of the games in the entire series then it's not a part of the series. Therefore it doesn't exist and is at most anouma's headcanon.

                Yes, now you're getting it. He shouldn't just said no. The intelligent thing to do would've been to say no. There was nothing stopping him from saying no. But he said yes and some fans had no reason to believe he was lying then the only recourse would be for them to figure out the timeline that he's so adamant exists. That's not the fans fault. That's his fault. If he didn't want to be bound by a fictional history then he should've stopped putting on the chains.

            We only have circumstantial evidence for that. Like Samus claiming that game was the first time she's ever run a joint mission with the Feds even though the entirety of Prime 3 was her running a joint mission with the Feds. But if we're only going by what the creators actually said, that game exists because 1. He wanted to tell a more cinematic story of Samus. That C word was a fricking slur between 2010 and 2020. And 2. because he wanted to real show the character of Samus.

            I don't need to say how much this enraged literally everyone who was ever invested in Metroid at that time. MercurySteam made damn sure not to present Samus similarly in Samus Returns. And Sakamoto made sure not to do that shit again when he wrote Metroid Dread

      any other questions

      I don't click on links, no matter what. And also I don't open images that morons send me. You didn't answer my question. If it's officail and canon, why would he release it in a book anyone could buy? He wants to keep it a secret from his staff.

            >Chapter 2, “The Full History of Hyrule,” arranges the series in chronological order so it’s easier to understand
            and
            >Thinking of that way of developing the games, it may be correct to say that the story is an appendix to that. I even think that setting Skyward Sword as the “first story,” was merely a coincidence.

    Honestly this problem exists because OoT and WW didn't really do a good job with what they set out to do, and the FS games are entirely superfluous. Like with LttP you have the imprisoning war backstory, the knights of Hyrule, and the forging of the Master Sword alongside the sealing of Ganon, and it doesn't really line up with OoT. The larger details are there, sure, but nothing else makes sense. And then WW comes out as a retelling of LttP, so it seems like LttP is totally retconned... except not really, because... downfall timeline? If OoT did a better job with the imprisoning war and WW didn't exist it'd be largely fine, I think. But BotW/TotK are clearly trying to reboot things to avoid the timeline clusterfrick.

    I don't know what you are talking about but ToTK is just a retelling of OoT with added furries and done in a way that makes every other game in the franchise non canon. Even BoTW feels disconnected from it.
    Aonuma obviously hates Zelda and should have been kicked off it when he pulled his stupid WW trick and nearly ran the series into the ground between MM and BoTW, and I say this as somebody who liked BoTW/ToTK.

      It's not entirely his fault, OoT wasn't properly connected to LttP. Though WW does have the unique property of coming across as Aonuma seething about OoT.

          And there's also the fact that Ganondorf swears fealty under false pretenses in both games difference being in one he was doing it to steal the Triforce and in the other he was doing it to steal the Secret Stone. Zelda fears him but her warnings isn't taken seriously until it's too late in both games. And both games feature a Zora that wants to frick Link.

          >entire plan in the flashbacks
          What you mean where he punched Sonia really hard and took her secret stone? Where he used a fake Zelda to lure her out and then afterwards turned into a glowing red version of himself? Or when he tried attacking the kingdom of hyrule with modulgas? None of that was in Ocarina of Time. Several of those things like secrets stones and queen sonia don't even exist in ocarina of time. And the imprisoning war also was not a thing so I am just lost.

          And there's also the fact that Ganondorf swears fealty under false pretenses in both games difference being in one he was doing it to steal the Triforce and in the other he was doing it to steal the Secret Stone. Zelda fears him but her warnings isn't taken seriously until it's too late in both games. And both games feature a Zora that wants to frick Link.

          It was completely different dude. In tears Zelda was an adult, and the King was a zonai and not zelda's father and he knew that Ganondorf was evil. Also Link wasn't there and wasn't going to be born for at least five hundred sextillion million years. Also Zelda was inside, and there was a queen. And it was way earlier in the kingdom's history, and the castle looked so different. But yeah the scene did resemble that ocarina scene in one way, but it's still one scene, not a retelling of the whole thing.

                >"In books like the recently released The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia, we revealed where each Zelda game fell on a timeline and how their stories related, but we didn't do that for Breath of the Wild. There is a reason for that. With this game, we saw just how many players were playing in their own way and had those reactions I just mentioned.

                Hyrule historia is a non canon concept art book. It was put out to get extra money and they used the anniversary as an excuse to do it.

                Is nintendo.com a Zelda game?

                I played SS and witnessed Demise making the curse that caused his will to reincarnate as Ganondorf. He did it by saying what he was doing verbally, which is moronic, but then, Skyward Sword is moronic as a whole, so that's par for the course.
                I played OOT and witnessed the Shadow Temple, where inscriptions on the wall denote it as a place where the darker side of Hyrule's history lies.
                I played WW and saw the Rito sage be a direct descendant of a Zora sage.
                I played TP and could easily tell that this was actually I don't recall seeing any good proof for that 100 year figure, but I also can't recall anyone expressing it.
                Now why don't you try playing the real things?

                >witnessed demise make a curse
                But he didn't do that! PLAY the game!

                The part where it's filled with torture devices and official royal symbology, implying that those torture devices were condoned by the royalty.
                Now what about Medli?

                People think that games having some sequels means you can build an entire overarching timeline around it. It's moronic. And then Nintendo attempted to pander to these morons. So now we're here. Anyone with half a brain can see the a coherent timeline for Zelda became impossible fairly early on.

                >Anyone with half a brain can see the a coherent timeline for Zelda became impossible fairly early on.
                The first two Zelda games were a direct duology. Link is the same guy between both. ALTTP is a prequel to both, and OOT is a prequel to ALTTP.

                I know. You didn't refute what I said at all. I'll repeat myself: a series having some sequels does not mean you can build an entire timeline around it. It has been obvious with anyone with a brain that a coherent timeline for zelda became impossible fairly early on.

                It only became incoherent with the release of Twilight Princess when they went full moron and made three branches off of a game that only ever tried to justify two. The downfall timeline is a bit of a band-aid fix- it's obviously a retroactive addition, and yet, ironically, it fits ALTTP's backstory better than the child or adult timeline. The complete absence of a hero able to wield the Master Sword in a world legitimately threatened by Ganondorf, that is.

                Don't need to, I know the scene well. He doesn't make any curse. The curse of which he speaks is the white man's burden. He's not magically making himself come back forever just by saying it, and without there being any special effects or anything I mean come one. If he could just make shit like that happen by saying it then why didn't he just say "I will not die now" or "Zelda will ride me for all eternity."? What he's really doing is spitiing facts because he can't die without making himself feel like he didn't really lose. He's saying facts that their descendants will always have to fight evil bbecause evil will always come back and their descendants are white so it's their job. He's pretending that the spirit of the hero and the divine bloodline are the losers because they have to keep fighting forever. It's like the green goblin calling spider-man an idiot for being a hero. Learn to read between the lines, it isn't hard when the lines are a mile apart.

                They ARE fricking extinct. Not one exists anywhere in the world which should've been perfect for them. The only source that gives any reason why the Zora wouldn't have taken over the world when it flooded is one that you also refuse to use.

                If there were even one Zora left in the world, then that Zora would have more blood in common with the Zora sage than Medli does.
                Therefore, the fact that Medli is the closest blood relative to the Zora sage is a twofer: There are no more remaining Zora, and the Rito somehow carry on the bloodline of a Zora.
                The natural assumption is that whatever is left of the Zora civilization is part of the Rito species and culture.

                The use of execution as a psychological weapon and not as a last resort to keep someone contained is generally considered cruel and unusual punishment; analogous to torture. The creation of elaborate and theatrical execution chambers and devices is indeed bloody, dark, and torturous.

    The Zelda "Timeline" has been nonsensical since its (the timeline's) very inception, and only gotten worse with each game entry. Obviously the first few games were made to be .... games, not a continuing storyline, so they had to make some shit up, and paste some shit together haphazardly.

    They never tried this again with any other franchise, imagine a Mario timeline.

                One Hylian King endorsed the creation of the Shadow Temple. At some point, the King clearly saw fit to hide it. Not even stop using it, but HIDE it. Clearly, either this is one king who changed his mind, or two kings disagreeing, neither of which would be possible if descent from the goddess meant you always had the correct moral stance.

                Which part n the damn game, makes you think that the king hided it? And how does there being very few sheikah relate to the king? HOW DOES ANY OF THIS HAVE A SINGLE THING TO DO WITH THE KING??

                The King had the power to ensure the Sheikah didn't fade to nothing, and chose not to. If Hyrule's leadership is automatically morally right, then they should either never have enlisted the aid of the Sheikah in the first place, or should not have allowed them to dwindle. The fact that the Sheikah are tied to a place that reflects badly upon the morality of Hyrule itself is further suspect.

                Wait I thought the timeline wasn't real? This implies that something established in Skyward Sword is related to the royal family of Ocarina of Time. Are the games NOT standalone? Nowhere in OoT does it state that the royal family is part of a divine bloodline.

                Bloodlines tend to deteriorate after a while because whoever built the thing they control up had all the right qualities to be a good, competent leader, while everyone who succeeds him just comes off a shallow imitation or a complete butthole who can't handle power and money. Almost never does this turn itself around where they can hold onto the bloodline and whatever they're controlling.

                This can apply equally both to empires and corporations.

        I played SS and witnessed Demise making the curse that caused his will to reincarnate as Ganondorf. He did it by saying what he was doing verbally, which is moronic, but then, Skyward Sword is moronic as a whole, so that's par for the course.
        I played OOT and witnessed the Shadow Temple, where inscriptions on the wall denote it as a place where the darker side of Hyrule's history lies.
        I played WW and saw the Rito sage be a direct descendant of a Zora sage.
        I played TP and could easily tell that this was actually I don't recall seeing any good proof for that 100 year figure, but I also can't recall anyone expressing it.

            Look, I'm not saying that tonal consistency isn't important for Zelda lore, nor am I advocating for the perfection of King Zora as some sort of moral monolith, but I highly doubt he's just going to tell his subjects to swim away and let his kingdom flood in times of crisis.

      The use of execution as a psychological weapon and not as a last resort to keep someone contained is generally considered cruel and unusual punishment; analogous to torture. The creation of elaborate and theatrical execution chambers and devices is indeed bloody, dark, and torturous.

          I mean man's not perfect but he never does anything morally wrong. That's canon. He comes from the goddess herself. Plus, have you played the games? That was rhetorical, I know you didn't. In the games no hyrulean king has ever done anything bad. They always put back the shopping cart or whatever you morons say.

          It looks like a place where the sheikah, who were given dominion over shadow by divine right, also known as the "shadow people" do their thing. It's where they honor their element. It's not like they actually use the guillotines in there. Alot of this shit you have to use platforming to get to. Why have an execution chamber at the end of a mario level?

              It could be talking about a completely different kingdom called Hyrule, just like how there's two countries called Congo in real life. You have no proof that "Hyrule's bloody history of greed and hatred" refere to the Hyrule the games take place in.

                Ever heard of Occam's Razor? Unless you have a solid, objective reason why this should be the case- something actually supported by the games, not "The king is Hylian and therefore can do no wrong"- then the assumption is it's the same Hyrule.

                I'm just pulling your leg by engaging in the same kind of deranged argument as OP. Him denying that "Hero of Time" means "OOT's Link" in WW was just too funny. You have no proof I made this post btw.

              I don't remember it saying anyone in hyrule ever did anything wrong, let alone the damn king.

              >Dude it's zelda, the tone changes every game
              There are overarching tonal elements that express themselves differently with each game. Link always being some bumpkin from nowhere near the region's center of political power is a consistent aspect of the series tone, for instance. There is no character who is incapable of doing wrong in Zelda except Hylia, who herself is a relatively recent addition to the series' lore. Nobody is worshipping Hylia in the time of OOT, for instance.
              >What do you mean by fall away?
              I mean that if you place "the king is epic white man who is always right" before the actual plot, the plot becomes incoherent.
              >I mean man's not perfect but he never does anything morally wrong. That's canon. He comes from the goddess herself.
              Those two sentences have absolutely fricking nothing to do with one another.
              >where are you even getting this?
              From Skyward Sword, when Demise, who looks like Ganondorf, says that an incarnation of his hatred will follow those with divine blood for the rest of time.
              >It's where they honor their element
              That's an artful explanation. Now can you give me a reason why it's hidden behind Kakariko Village, why the Sheikah barely seem to exist anymore, or why Hyrule's history is expressly considered bloody by the people who made and used this "place of honor"? How about why violent spirits inhabit it?

              >doesn't know what tone means
              C'mon.
              >Link always being some bumpkin from nowhere
              Play the video games, this is a lie. Modern Link is a knight, he lived in the castle. He was born into the royal guard anon. Born into it. And from the time he was like five he was already a better swordsman than any adult. Then there was ss link who was a knight in training from skyloft, which is certainly not nowhere. Iirc four swords adventures link was already a knight as a kid. And I think spirit tracks link was ging to be a royal engineer, and his mentor was one of the first princess of new hyrule's best friends.
              >no character is incapable of doing wrong
              Enter Link, Zelda, the King Impa, and every single hylian in totk.
              >nobody is worshipping hylia
              Sowhat?
              >the plot becomes incoherent
              How? It doesn't change the plot because it's already a part of the plot. But even if it wasn't, how would it change anything to add it?
              >coming from the goddess means nothing
              You think Zelda always being absolutely perfect and heroic and always being the one to save the day and sacrifice herself for what is right has nothing to do with her coming from the goddess?
              >looks like ganondorf
              You're blind.
              >incarnation of his hatred

              >why it's behind kekirko
              That used to be their village. It's not like they can move a whole temple.
              >why the sheikah barely seem to exist anymore
              How in hell is this relevant? Also how would I know? Does anyone need to know?
              >why it's considered bloody
              Because the white guys have to always fight evil all the time. Evil is always trying to take over the kingdom.
              >violent spirits
              Are redeads even spirits? Anyway it's because ganondorf took it over and put monsters in there, like all the other temples in the game.

                He wasn't even in the top five most popular of a school with a single digit count of students. That's as bumpkin as you can get in a setting with one fricking location.
                >Enter Link, Zelda, the King Impa, and every single hylian in totk.
                They're all capable of doing wrong.
                >How? It doesn't change the plot because it's already a part of the plot
                No, it's not. the King expressly disregards Zelda's warnings about Ganondorf in OOT.
                >You think Zelda always being absolutely perfect and heroic and always being the one to save the day and sacrifice herself for what is right
                This isn't even true. She's petulant, childish, and in plenty of games just as unworthy to her own power (at first) as Link is.
                >has nothing to do with her coming from the goddess?
                No, it doesn't. At best it's the Triforce of Wisdom coming through.
                >You're blind.
                Giant muscular body, dark skin, vibrant red hair, stocky build, wields large swords. That's an incredibly distinctive mental image that calls to mind Demise and Ganondorf.
                >Metaphor, also translation error
                Source for either?
                >That used to be their village.
                Used to be, huh? Okay. Why is the place of worship of the civilization that mostly pulled out of the town now sealed up? Why can't anyone reach this sacred site of the town's heritage?
                >How in hell is this relevant? Also how would I know? Does anyone need to know?
                If the Sheikah were completely noble and right, they would be able to persist in times of peace.
                >Evil is always trying to take over the kingdom.
                And why is this bloody history also considered dark, foreboding, and dangerous if it's simply meant to refer to the fact that evil always exists and good must always fight it?
                >it's because ganondorf took it over and put monsters in there
                Which somehow explains the deliberately evil architecture?

                When the game was advertised as explaining aspects of the fricking zelda series up to that point, I figure I'm allowed to make assumptions like this.
                >I don't know. Why are you asking me this?
                Because if it were good and morally justified, surely they'd be willing for the common folk to see it.

                When SS was the latest game, nobody ran around calling SS Link "modern Link". He was just "Link", or "SS Link", or "Link from Skyward Sword".
                For you to do the same implies BOTW/TOTK is somehow the "definitive" Zelda- as if it's all going to be this one Link from here.
                >So name someone better. Damn.
                OOT Link is cooler in literally every regard except his ability to climb rocks.
                >What about modern link, or any of the other ones I mentioned? How are they bumpkins from nowhere?
                BOTW Link was just some random guard elevated to the highest possible position of champion. He felt out of place at every moment. Do you not even know the story of the game you supposedly want to defend here?
                >WHAT PART OF THE STORY TELLS YOU THAT LINK IS ANYTHING BUT PERFECT
                Nobody is perfect. Your belief that Link must be because he's a protagonist is backwards.

                They have no connection other than that they are evil also Ganondorf became the king of the demon tribe because he was the most evil guy around and demise was also a king of the demon tribe once. Means nothing you fricking moron. I'm going to kill you. I hate you so much. Die now. Please bro...

                >They have no connection other than that they are evil also Ganondorf became the king of the demon tribe because he was the most evil guy around and demise was also a king of the demon tribe once
                And the fact that Ganondorf reincarnates due to the curse Demise cast upon the bloodlines of Link and Zelda.

                Absolutely not. This Link is placid. He's boring. His only character trait is a bit of impostor syndrome and the ability to make a few slightly sarcastic responses.
                >They will never make a "new" link.
                They will within the next few games.

                There doesn't need to be much. There are four main sides of him, Responsible/hero Link, Noble Link, Wild Link and Repressed Link. They are hidden in such a way to make him interesting but not mess with the gameplay experience. They did a good job. Did you play the game? That was a joke, I know you did not.

                OoT Link isn't edgy. Hell, besides a little blood here and there, there is barely anything "edgy" in OoT in the first place.
                Also, most of what we know about OoT Link as a character comes from cutscenes, where he typically has overreacts to everything, such as running away from Saria, attempting to escape from the gorons that wanted to hug him and swimming away from Ruto. Nothing edgy about him at all.

                That's not Link. That's some idealized hero they introduced to replace him. The real Link is capable of showing all of these traits, but is also marred by a variety of downsides: He's uncertain, often traumatized by a forceful call to action he endured in the past, or simply by his own circumstances. He's capable of sarcasm and proper negative interactions, and of being playful with those he's close to. He's smart, often highly expressive, and empathetic, but he is above all else able to rise to the occasion.

                You're asking for a fricking source on if he drew the master sword? Why are you not even trying to pretend that you played the game?
                >he strugACK
                Play the game, read some of the diaries. He didn't talk because he was trying to give off the image of the perfect strong hero. He was trying to make himself look less normal human.

                I'm asking for a source on how he was able to draw it from the very start of the game. If he couldn't, then he wasn't always worthy.
                >He didn't talk because he was trying to give off the image of the perfect strong hero
                That is an INCREDIBLY charitable reading. All I get from this is that he feels if he said something, it would be the wrong thing. He feels that because he has to try, he does not fit in the role.
                >you ever heard of Blossom? From the Powerpuff Girls? She is perfect, in the first two seasons specifically and I loved every moment of watching hr. Superman is perfect and everybody loves him
                Neither of those characters is perfect. Nobody loves a "perfect superman", because a hero who effortlessly accomplishes everything set before them is uninteresting.

                Remember everyone, the timeline is canon to every game up until BOTW, perfect characters are fricking boring, and any pairing of Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf is uninspired at best.

            >Dude it's zelda, the tone changes every game
            There are overarching tonal elements that express themselves differently with each game. Link always being some bumpkin from nowhere near the region's center of political power is a consistent aspect of the series tone, for instance. There is no character who is incapable of doing wrong in Zelda except Hylia, who herself is a relatively recent addition to the series' lore. Nobody is worshipping Hylia in the time of OOT, for instance.
            >What do you mean by fall away?
            I mean that if you place "the king is epic white man who is always right" before the actual plot, the plot becomes incoherent.
            >I mean man's not perfect but he never does anything morally wrong. That's canon. He comes from the goddess herself.
            Those two sentences have absolutely fricking nothing to do with one another.
            >where are you even getting this?
            From Skyward Sword, when Demise, who looks like Ganondorf, says that an incarnation of his hatred will follow those with divine blood for the rest of time.
            >It's where they honor their element
            That's an artful explanation. Now can you give me a reason why it's hidden behind Kakariko Village, why the Sheikah barely seem to exist anymore, or why Hyrule's history is expressly considered bloody by the people who made and used this "place of honor"? How about why violent spirits inhabit it?

              If you're even remotely paying attention to The Wind Waker or Twilight Princess you'd know that they outright contradict Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. For starters, they show what Hyrule looks like hundreds of 'years' after those two games take place As for Skyward Sword, well let me tell you, that game is filled with so many plotholes it makes Swiss cheese seem solid by comparison, the
              fact that Demise supposedly has anything to do with Ganondorf just shows that these developers are either too inept or too lazy to come up with new plots.

                I could accept the reuse of Ganondorf in the older games because it was an interesting take on a recurring set of characters. Link and Zelda were always a DIFFERENT Link and Zelda, but Ganondorf was always... that one, same character. It was an incredibly unique take on a relatively simple, and even admittedly lazy, premise. Witnessing the different directions the exact same root could go was fascinating.
                But now that they rebooted the entire series and reintroduced Ganondorf only to remove what little complexity he had and use him the same way as he was used 25 years ago, I feel I have the right to be insulted.

                I think this is what bothers me. Zelda got the script flipped on her when unlike all the others, it's Zelda that had to go prove herself, not Link. And she had to go from being jealous and feeling inadequate to Link to lobotomizing herself for a bazillion years out of sheer faith in his ability. Link is always the same because he's the player character. So that leaves Ganondorf. He didn't have to be good just have his trope played with a little bit. But no he was played completely straight. What would he even do if he won? Just hang out in a land full of Bokoblins and Lynels?

                For a very brief period in the era of BOTW, before I came to realize I was having no fun with the game, I was in the camp that said the idea of Ganondorf losing the ability to fully and corporeally incarnate but still feeling such raw and persistent hatred that he managed to cause a fricking apocalypse was fricking sick.
                And that's still infinitely better than what we got with TOTK. Because at least the undying, immortal, and instinct-driven mass of energy is something other than "man who aspires to gain power and overturn all existing authority without any apparent larger plans or goals".

                It's more annoying because The Calamity ended up being slightly more interesting, for what it is anyway. Everyone knew the legend of how Ganon is supposed to work so they just did it again. It didn't occur to anyone that the Calamity could learn and adapt. Suddenly the army of robots became death machines. The royal family was reduced to one. Castle Town was fricking vaporized. Hyrule Castle became his base of operations. Akkala, Hyrule's greatest fortress, was sterilized of life. Link fricking died. All civilizations were pushed to the edges of the map and never moved in a century. All in one night. The Calamity technically didn't lose because Hyrule, as it was, basically stopped existing. Zelda's greatest victory was reducing everything to a stalemate.

                By contrast Ganondorf is defeated by doing the same thing they did before but with the a Master Sword this time. Now that he can articulate what he's doing, you realize he's just an butthole. He wanted to take over Hyrule for no other reason than he didn't have it. Hyrule's 10,000+ years of history was defined by a salty fox and grapes metaphor.

                Giving any reason for the repeated return of Ganondorf other than "because he's just that fricking evil and that fricking powerful" cheapened a villain who managed to scrape together some respectability despite only having relatively simple roles.
                Creating a being who is "balanced" and can assume responsibility for the whole triforce cheapened the entire series' mythos. A big part of the point of the Triforce is that it's (for the most part) unattainable; we only ever saw it be used successfully on screen one time in series history. Even "good" characters like Link and Zelda had one of its traits more prominently than the others.
                It also makes the mythos too... "safe". Rather than a matched set of three goddesses, we now have one pure good goddess everyone can worship without feeling guilty. You can't see how that's... I dunno, cheap? Lazy? Fricking boring?

    The original Zelda on NES was the 2nd game I ever owned and I always thought of the series as not being connected and instead each entry being a reinterpretation of the same story, hence the name "The LEGEND of Zelda". Like any legend the story gets passed down over the generations and is changed in some way with each retelling, which is why everything is similar but never quite the same.

    Nothing is changed, its open enough to still work fine.

    Listen up, TimelineBlack folk. Just because you're delusional enough to believe in conspiracies like a progressive stack of timelines doesn't mean that it actually exists.

    You know who else believed in manipulating history? THE israeliteS! Just like how they went around censoring anything that was remotely critical of their actions, timelineBlack folk are nothing but delusional revisionists trying to shove their hogwash down my throat!

        >he is a Gerudo after all.
        nah it's just him that's the problem. The other Gerudos like Nabroou and Riju stand against him, plus there's always a Gerudo sage that stands against him too in most games that have them. Only Gerudo that seems to be on his side are his moms.

    >Nintendo shits out a cut down consolefied ARPG
    >consoleturds eat it up
    >make a sequel that has nothing to do with the first game but rehash the overworld's general layout and reuse character designs to save dev time and build a brand, didn't really put any effort into the lore or worldbuilding anyway so no harm done, and you don't need to since the games sell anyway
    >people insist on connecting it to the previous game
    >make another sequel that has nothing at all to do with the previous game outside some random references and the rehashed designs
    >your autistic moronic fanbase starts trying to piece together "how they're connected"
    >keep doing this until finally a decade later you make one game that actually directly references past events from one of the games in the intro (and basically nowhere else) to establish why the setting is a giant ocean instead of the same rehashed map
    >now everyone insists that there's some deep lore timeline and goes crazy trying to figure it out
    >capitalize on this by releasing a direct sequel to the fan favorite game and shit out a half-assed lorebook you made by connecting games by making some shit up that sounded plausible
    >make bank
    >go back to making up random shit for following games
    >your moronic fans STILL think there's some sort of "timeline" and that all the games were ever intended to fit together
    Nintendo are marketing geniuses

      There are no 'PC ARPGs' on the level of console ones.

    There has always been a timeline, at least two separate ones since OoT and its been planned to an extent to exist since ALTTP. The real question is why hasn't anybody done anything about you zoomer revisionist having autistic meltdowns over things you don't understand?
    If your favorite Zelda is BotW then your opinion on anything Zelda as a franchise doesn't matter to anybody.
