My internet has been out for a while so what time I have spent not playing guitar or recording random bits of music I have been stuck playing Call of Duty and Skyward Sword. As we all know Call of Duty is just boring without online multiplayer so I have been glued in front of my Wii for what seems like forever. I will come off and say this game is just amazing, but since I have "nostalgia" for Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask I can't honestly say which is better. They are all amazing games, but yet almost completely different aside from some of the same characters, but to get to the point of this thread I will be giving off a ton of spoilers so please stop reading if you don't want everything to be ruined.
So the whole time I was playing this game I had a few questions in my head. Nintendo said this would tie up all loose ends to the series and be a great game of its own and while it does tie up some it leaves my mind with all kinds of confusion. Where is Lake Floria and the Parella in the other games. I know it is a new concept solely for this game, but seriously they could have added a reason they don't appear in other games. Like in the end have them or a hint that they change into the Zora which would explain why the Zora are no where to be found. Lake floria could flood the Lanayru province or part of it creating Lake Hylia or something...
Another question that boggled my mind is why is the Lanayru province so dry? It used to be a huge green land from what the robots say and the evidence from the time shift stone. So what happened and how does such a dry place end up becoming the main source of water for all of Hyrule?
Where do all the Gorons live? I mean they are spotted in different places around the mine, but we never see where they live? Why couldn't we see the beginning of the Goron City?
Where did the robots and the time shift stones go? Exactly how far back do they take you?
If this game is supposed to be the beginning of the legend of zelda and the back story to everything why does it also have a back story? If your going to make a game to start off everything why not make it the beginning of everything? I mean this game has legends and places that are ANCIENT.... I think if it is supposed to be the beginning it needs to be the beginning. The Ancient cistern should be the NEW cistern or whatever. I have more to this but I could ramble on for hours.
I was hoping the Hylian Crest on the Hylian shield would be explained but it doesnt. we see the mark of the loft wing with out the triforce. we see the triforce alone and we see them together. this just creates more confusion.
You get a plant and take it to the past to plant it so it will be a tree in the present, but if it was planted in the past would it not already be a huge tree in the future... Confusing Conflicting Story Much?!
The ending is the biggest mind **** in the world. Let me break it down for you. After getting the true master sword and the triforce you go to the sealed grounds where you destroy the imprisoned after making a wish. Ghirahim shows up, kidnaps zelda and goes back in time to resurrect his then sealed "not dead" master. You beat him, but he is still resurrected. you fight and kill him then place the sword in the stone. "which should rewrite the future or create another timeline, but it does nothing for the future" If he is dead in the past you would think it would create no reason for Link to even be on a journey in the first place, but you go back and find everything is the same. The statue is still on the land below so it didn't change anything. It must have created a new timeline, but wait.... The Master Sword is still where you left it... The tree you planted in the past is still growing... Impa still has the bracelet... Nothing has changed... So how does certain things change and not others... and if the master sword was set in the stone in the past why could link just not grab it and banish the evil instead of going on a long and deadly quest.
This game creates one HUGE mind **** of a time paradox and I seriously doubt Nintendo thought hard about this at all and just went with it... They spent 5 years on this game so why have so many loose ends? The didn't intend for OoT to have a split time line, but because of fans wanting the games to connect they created it. Or else we wouldn't be able to have both twilight princess and wind waker.
Some last minute thoughts...
Where did the dragons go to? and was the fire dragon Volvagia... He wasn't mean and he didn't have a name, but everyone worshiped him. so could he be the same dragons the Gorons feared and respected? where did all the different tribes of SS magically vanish to? I understand they tried making a brand new experience, but if your going to have it connect to the series PLEASE try not to make the series even more confusing... They did this with TP and I was praying they wouldn't with SS, but it looks like they effed up even worse.
Over all it is an amazing game, but the gaps and loose ends it leaves behind will seriously mess with you. I have way more stuff about this game to say, but this thread is long enough already. If you have any conflicting faults with this story or want something explained please let me know or try to answer anyone of my questions if not all. especially the time paradox that makes no effing sense.
PLEASE NINTENDO WHEN YOU MAKE ZELDA 3DS OR WII U PLEASE PLEASE THINK OF STORY FIRST!!! MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T CONFLICT WITH OTHER GAMES OR CREATE EVEN MORE LOOSE ENDS!!! AND PLEASE LET IT ACTUALLY TIE UP ALL THE LOOSE ENDS ALREADY HERE! PRETTY SOON IF YOU KEEP THIS UP THEN THE ZELDA TIMELINE/STORY WILL HAVE SO MANY LOOSE ENDS IT WILL JUST BECOME SO CONFUSING NO ONE WILL EVEN CARE FOR THE STORY ANYMORE.
Sorry for anything misspelled or bad grammer! =P wrote this in a rush. lol
