@masterofdisguise7112 3 жыл бұрын

If you’ve only played BotW, you really REALLY need to play at least a couple of the other games. BotW is far from the best Zelda game. Ocarina of Time is an absolute masterpiece that puts BotW to SHAME. Skyward sword is probably the most fun I’ve had in a Zelda game. Twilight Princess is the darkest Zelda and does that darkness the best of any Zelda games. Wind Waker is just amazing. If you really want to be a fan of the series and understand what a Zelda game is like, you should really play any (or ideally all) of the above mentioned games on either emulators par the original platform. Like I said, while BotW is pretty good, all the games I mentioned above are FAR better.

My theory: there’s proof that all 3 timelines are now existing in this game, so sometime in the past 10,000 years the timelines conjoined. Ganon, while sealed away in multiple timelines, managed to find a way to fuse all timelines together and gain theoretically 3x his normal power. He then is preparing his most formidable army in Zelda history: the angry cuccos, and will entirely wipe out all existence with his unstoppable army.

The flipping king (who I am pretty sure just married into this family) Put his whole trust into the man who’s titled the king of thieves over the myth his family has been guarding for generations. I mean cmon the king of thieves wouldn’t make contact with you unless he wanted something and thieves don’t negotiate.

I like to believe that the convergence event that brought the timelines together was Ganon's escape. He would've been too weak in any of the other timelines to resurrect or beak his seal, so through sheer will and/or maybe Demise's curse he was able to channel the energy needed to break free by taking from all timeline's what power he had in those timelines. This break out caused the convergence of all timelines and then eventually BoTW happened. sidenote: I'm so hyped for ToTk!!!

17:07 - This is the moment that spurred me towards learning english. As a 6-7 year old child I was playing that game and got stuck with Zelda not knowing I had to push the shelf behind the thrones. My older sister came in and read the text to help me. At that moment I thought something like "I'm learning this so I can not get stuck again" and I fell in love with the language to the point I find myself thinking in english instead of my native language. I hold this game in the highest of pedestals for that.

Minor correction: The timeline that places Oracle of Seasons/Ages after Link's Awakening also states that it is a new Link in those games. It's only the timeline that places the Oracle games *before* Link's Awakening that states they are the same Link.

Botw: a game where you don't even need a master sword to destroy "Ganon". This video explained it clearly, so allow me to butcher it... there's a top side and an under side, botw happened 10k years later on the top side. Botw 2 is going to explain what was happening on the under side during those 10k years, and why the ganon that emerged on the top side was just a scourge. Botw is a prelude to a new time line, and they have started out 100 years into the new timeline on purpose.

The tricky thing to understand that took me forever also is that there is only one Link, despite there being 3 timelines. You have to remember how time works. Kid Link goes forward in time, leaving his timeline behind, so no more Link there. This creates the future timeline with him in it. When he leaves the future and goes back in time, he leaves the newly created future timeline without a Link also. When you time travel, you don't go back to the same time - you make new branches. So when link goes back, he ends up in another new timeline that has the one and only link in it. So timeline A loses Link over to timeline B. Timeline B then loses Link over to timeline C. Link is now in timeline C, which is the Majora timeline. A becomes the failed timeline, B becomes the success timeline, and C becomes the prevention timeline. Boom.

@nworder4life Жыл бұрын

1 very important thing to understand is, the Master Sword was the key in NOT creating alternate time branches. The only reason time splits into 2 is because Zelda uses the Ocarina of time to send link back in time. Before this, Link was traveling back and forth on 1 stream of time or 1 timeline and the MS was a ship ferrying him back and forth.

Cyotey A large percentage of people believe that Nintendo never intended for there to be a Timeline, which is *extremely likely* to be true. But because Zelda fans tried to piece every game together in a timeline, Nintendo decided to make an official timeline themselves. They chose to go with the “split timeline” theory because that was the most speculated explanation by Zelda fans. However, there is virtually no way Nintendo came up with a proper timeline during the creation of the original Legend of Zelda game. It’s not like they *knew* the series was gunna take off and achieve massive success. Another popular explanation Zelda fans had before the timeline; was basically something to the effect of what you said. Every Zelda game was meant to have it’s own individual story. Isn’t that what *legends* are? Stories passed down by tradition that are considered historical but not necessarily verified to be authentic? In other words, every game is simply it’s own *interpretation* of the *story* of Zelda passed down by tradition. It’s in the name! The *Legend* of Zelda! The Angry Video Game Nerd made a video on the Timeline several years back, I suggest you watch it. Not to mention that Nintendo *themselves* stated somewhat recently that the timeline *isn’t* concrete; it is subject to change in the future by *”new discoveries”* or by *fan interpretation.* This is their own words! They’re basically providing evidence that there was never an official timeline that was constructed from the beginning of the time the series was created! I refuse to accept this interpretation of the timeline!

@aozf05 4 жыл бұрын

No, there was always a vague sense of a timeline within Nintendo. Pretty sure they never put much thought into it or planned it out but they did always develop each game with a sense of how it relates to others in the continuity. Official statements going all the way back to Link to the Past explicitly linked the games into a single continuity. There are records of this and I lived through most of it so, yeah, I know for a fact most of these games were always connected. Zelda 2 was always a sequel to Zelda 1. LttP was always a prequel to those games (despite Miyamoto's confusion that it was a sequel in one interview, but I think he's representative of the unconcern in Nintendo for continuity, LttP was officially labeled a prequel at the time). OoT was always a prequel to LttP, depicting the Imprisoning War mentioned in LttP's prologue according to official statements. MM is obviously a sequel to OoT. WW is also an obvious sequel to it and during development, Aonuma told us about the child and adult timelines for the first time. TP was stated to be a sequel parallel to WW taking place in the child timeline instead. SS was always a prequel to everything. PH and ST were always sequels to WW. The only games that throw a wrench in everything are the Capcom games MC and FS (and FSA by extention). LA and the Oracle games are side stories and technically could take place together at any point after LttP. So no, the timeline wasn't invented because of fan theorizing. It was always there, but Nintendo was always ambiguous about it. Very few people ever guessed that there could be a third branch though which I think was a convenient ass pull explanation after they wrote themselves into a corner with discrepancies.
