    Spoiler My take on the Zelda timeline

    I'm confused: 1. I agree with the Gerudo thing, this has to happen after OoT 2. I agree that BotW Hyrule comes after the Great Flood 3. Yes. 4. This is a super good point....My only problem with this is that the Wild Set is also found in these locked Zonai chests, suggesting a more recent...

    Completing the Trilogy - Breath, Tears, and ???

    Title: Wings of the Bard OR Servant of the Goddess Premise: Kass returns home, bringing a great evil with him. Opening: Link wakes up in the Hateno house bed, and goes over to the school where Zelda teaches about the Calamity and the Upheaval. Mid-lesson, Teba bursts through the door and...

    Spoiler My views on the timeline placement of BotW/TotK.

    Exactly: the only timeline where the Master Sword and Triforce are both missing and there are Rito and Gerudo is in the AT. The Gerudo also jump between physiological differences in a pre-SS model. Sidon is a descendant of a Ruto who helped Link and Zelda defeat Ganondorf: Link only defeats...

    What Are You Doing In Zelda?

    Brought my switch to college for the first year: playing Oracle of Seasons, not as good as Ages but I'm starting to understand how the same team made it (my first playthrough I was baffled at how the masterpiece OoA was coupled with OoS). The dungeons are surprisingly fun and replayable. My...

    Spoiler My views on the timeline placement of BotW/TotK.

    This is the main reason a refounding model works best on the Adult Timeline: at the end of the Downfall Timeline, the entire Triforce is in the possession of the Royal Family. Some insane stuff would have to happen for the entire kingdom to be essentially entirely rebooted: no Triforce, no...
  9. GZ Zelda

    Spoiler My views on the timeline placement of BotW/TotK.

    You insist it must be on the downfall timeline and then use the presence of the Rito to explain why it must be a refounding. Wouldn't the presence of races that, currently, have only canonically evolved in one timeline, suggest an Adult Timeline placement for Tears of the Kingdom?

    Linear Timeline expanded

    The Problem with Ganondorf (spoilers for TotK): So I've been re-evaluating Ganondorf, the Triforce, and the Master Sword in light of the new TotK information. I'll start with Ganondorf in this post. In the split timeline, there are, at this point, three different Ganondorfs. There is the...

    Linear Timeline expanded

    The Living Legend Theory: The living legend theory is obviously super popular, as it allows contradictions to be easily hand-waved, but it makes the "history" portion of Zelda games pretty unimportant. It's essentially boiling down the timeline to its "givens" and ignoring the bridging history...

    MAJOR THEORY: The Hylian royal family stooped so low as to experiment with magic to create armies of undead monsters and invisible monsters!!

    This obviously is better for MD, but just in its reference to Zelda, saying that Ganondorf's "civil war," where he conquered Hyrule and killed thousands and turned hundreds more into refugees, was the same as the American Civil War and then saying that it was only called a civil war because...

    MAJOR THEORY: The Hylian royal family stooped so low as to experiment with magic to create armies of undead monsters and invisible monsters!!

    Wtf, this isn't...I don't...what even...oh my god I'm just gonna respond to the OP oh my god jesus christ oy yoi yoi! They all have the blood of the goddess though, yes? Cuz they all descend from that first Zelda? Very well-layed out, super good evidence, the Hylian royal family made the...

    Spoiler My views on the timeline placement of BotW/TotK.

    But a major plot point in TotK is the building of the castle in the past, and we don't see that castle in Skyward Sword's world. God guys from the heavens descend to the surface is not a new concept in Zelda: I think it would be fair to say the Minish, Oocca and Zonai all come from the same...

    Skyward Sword Unanswered Questions

    I just finished an SS playthrough and thought about answering these questions. Just to preface, there are obviously two camps when it comes to SS: split theory and linear theory. Split theory has to account for Impa's bracelet and Zelda's crystal, linear theory has to account for The...

    Tears of the Kingdom Is the Interactive Map Complete?

    I just counted 61, I also checked the IGN walkthrough https://www.ign.com/wikis/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom/All_Sky_Island_Korok_Seeds and they have 61.
  17. GZ Zelda

    Spoiler My views on the timeline placement of BotW/TotK.

    Maybe you have a looser "contradiction" definition then I do, but the idea that there was a Zelda sleeping in the North Palace and also a Zelda from Z1 seems like an obvious contradiction assuming there should only be one Zelda. And Z2 establishes Ganon's resurrection is achieved by Link's...

    Favourite planet

    Talking local, Earth is obviously the best. Talking intergalactic, COCONUTS-2b is 6.3 Jupiters big and takes a million years to orbit.

    Thoughts on amiibo/DLC items in BotW/TotK now that TotK treats them...differently...?

    Spoilers for specifics: Ok so our good friend Link canonically flies around the Sky Islands, canonically stumbles across a chest with a map to Gleeok's Den, canonically heads down into the Depths, canonically kills King Gleeok and then...what happens? There isn't a chest with a hat with wolf...

    Thoughts on amiibo/DLC items in BotW/TotK now that TotK treats them...differently...?

    So the game is canon, everything in the game is canon (dialogue, placenames, item descriptions) except: Island Lobster Shirt, Ravio's Hood, Zant's Helmet, Midna's Helm, Majora's Mask, Sheik's Mask, Fierce Deity Set and Sword, Set of Awakening, Sword and Set of the Hero, Biggoron's Sword, Set...

    Thoughts on amiibo/DLC items in BotW/TotK now that TotK treats them...differently...?

    I meant the Ruto tablet, location names, Zelda monologue, statues and location models. "The Island Lobster Shirt is not canon" model suggests the Goddess Statues are just nice references to Skyward Sword, same with the place names referencing the AT, same with TP monologue references or...

    Thoughts on amiibo/DLC items in BotW/TotK now that TotK treats them...differently...?

    Thoughts on amiibo/DLC items in BotW/TotK now that TotK treats them...differently...?

    Cece comments on every armor piece. Is she just looking at thin air and guessing? Or is the non-canonical pen of Hidemaro Fujibayashi possessing her?
  24. GZ Zelda

    Thoughts on amiibo/DLC items in BotW/TotK now that TotK treats them...differently...?

    So then what is the in-universe point of the labyrinths, or Misko's treasure, or that one Lurelin side quest. It's sanctioning off a large chunk of TotK's content because...the rewards are past-game references? When there are already enough cross-timeline past-game references to lead any normal...
  25. GZ Zelda

    Thoughts on amiibo/DLC items in BotW/TotK now that TotK treats them...differently...?

    So all TotK armor is equally not-canon?

    Thoughts on amiibo/DLC items in BotW/TotK now that TotK treats them...differently...?

    And the Barbarian Armor and Evil Spirit Armor?
  27. GZ Zelda

    Thoughts on amiibo/DLC items in BotW/TotK now that TotK treats them...differently...?

    So all of the Old Maps content just isn't happening? The Depths are just largely empty canonically and the Sky has islands that have absolutely nothing on them?
  28. GZ Zelda

    Thoughts on amiibo/DLC items in BotW/TotK now that TotK treats them...differently...?

    It looks like some Elder Scrolls folks consider the Elder Scrolls Master Sword canon to Skyrim. Which is why I was confused when you compared Midna's helm or Majora's Mask or whatever to the Master Sword in Elder Scrolls, because it's not like we are talking about the Xenoblade armor, or the...

    Impa in Zelda 1 and Zelda 2

    I was reading Impa's wiki page for an ALttP/Oracles theory when a quote popped out at me: "In the Legend of Zelda, Impa appears in the game as an Old Woman, however she is only named in the game's manual." I had never heard of the theory that one of the Old Women in Z1 is Impa, but it actually...

    Thoughts on amiibo/DLC items in BotW/TotK now that TotK treats them...differently...?

    I'm pretty predictable, but these items are so obviously suggestive of DT/CT/AT parallel events (which must be specified) or of a unified/linear timeline. If you want to do DT with parallel events so the ZE timeline still holds, that's fine, I would just ask that you place the parallel events...
  31. GZ Zelda

    Spoiler My views on the timeline placement of BotW/TotK.

    Z2 disregarded Z1's Zelda, like she didn't exist. ALttP ends with Ganon killed by the silver arrows, and yet he's alive in Z1. MM's opening reads "In the land of Hyrule, there echoes a legend. A legend held dearly by the Royal Family that tells of a boy... A boy who, after battling evil and...

    Tears of the Kingdom Was there anything you feel BotW did better than TotK?

    Spoilers below, beware. I, overall, prefer Breath of the Wild to Tears of the Kingdom. I am generally drawn towards subversive, isolating and mystery-rich Zelda games (OoA, MM, PH, LA). These are often the sequels to more traditional, but still enjoyable, entries (OoS, OoT, WW, ALttP). BotW and...
