I've always hated this addition to the lore that Termina was "created" from the memories/mind of Skull Kid through the power of the mask, as well as some memories of Link himself, mainly because it adds nothing to the story and is somewhat of a cop-out for explaining various parts of the story...

There's never been any kind of explanation as to why they want the cows, but I suppose one could assume that the reason is the same as why the Gormans want the cows: For their milk... Maybe they took Romani to help figure out how exactly the Chateau Romani is obtained, as if there is some...

I'll admit that I'm excited to play and enjoy any new Zelda game. It usually takes a while, sometimes months, for me to really decide where I would rank it on my list, but I can honestly say that I feel every Zelda game is one of the best games on whichever system it is released. However, few...

Of course it no longer stands in relation to other games, but the topic is Zelda 1 and my point was actually how it still stands in relation to that game and the Magic Sword. Again, even with revisions to the original LoZ text years later, the name of the sword was not changed. That would be a...

I did enjoy it, but having let it simmer for a few months, it didn't capture the same magic for me as the original and DX versions had. You might chalk this up to a number of reasons as I feel like there were more than a few things that could have been done better, and there will always be that...

I would agree with Mases here that the BIGGEST flaw had to be that nothing significant was added to warrant this remake being a full-priced console release. I am glad that they left the original game untouched in most ways, but am peeved by the fact that there were no added dungeons or other...

Right-handed Link will always seem illegitimate to me. Him being left-handed was a unique character trait at one point in time and also kinda kept with the whole "hero reborn" thing, each new generation of Link still being lefty and all. Not to mention that the original Zelda was based on...

I would disagree that the Magical Sword was or has ever been intended to be the Master Sword. Other than it not being stated anywhere as such, considering the amount of "behind the scenes" content we've received in recent years with books like Hyrule Historia and the like, I think we can simply...

Super Mario Maker 2 "The Evil King's Castle" Course ID: BF7-7K9-0XF (not real sure if that's a zero or an O in the last three of the course ID) So this is my first and, so far only, Zelda-themed level since the 2.0 update that added the Zelda elements. I was searching one day for levels that...

As a life-long fan of the series, I have to say I love the fact that I was alive to see Re2 remade and turned out as great as it did. Now, with Re3 following close behind, I feel like my childhood has almost come full-circle. I am a bit weary to how they handle certain things as I am not...

As much as I hate the fact that the Downfall timeline even exists, it makes sense as-is. I've seen a lot of theory trying to make sense out of it, and while I applaud many theorists for doing extensive research and coming up with new ideas not thought of before, the fact is that it is simple...

Termina is an alternate dimension, or reality, of Hyrule. Lorule is more or less the equivalent of the Dark World/Sacred Realm in that it mimics Hyrule's geography. I believe any connections to Lorule and Termina could easily be chalked up to the developers adding elements of previous games...

But he also said it was just a suggestion, which says to me that he didn't really know himself. I personally have no solid theory on the topic, but always considered FD a direct counterpart or eternal enemy of Majora. For the longest time, it was theorized that Majora was the equivalent of the...

But you get my point there. The whole "motion controlled" gaming deal was done first by Nintendo and then everyone else decided to jump on the bandwaggon which, at that point, everyone had experienced that on Wii and didn't really care. Nintendo did an amazing job at creating something so...

The Wii came at the right time, basically. If Sony had created the Move before Nintendo released the Wii, do you think the Wii would have been relevant had it been the same system in comparison to the PS3? Definitely not. The Move failed because that gimmick had already been done, and anyone...

As far as the future of Nintendo is concerned, I don't think it will change course all that much. Its not just who is president that makes for an entire company's perspective on their business, just like the president of the United States isn't the only one making all the decisions. Whoever...

I don't understand why so many people are seeing DLC as "the rest of the game" here. Just because a game receives DLC doesn't mean we won't get what could be considered a full game in the beginning. Mario Kart 8 was a complete, full game initially. The additional levels, karts, cups, and...

There's one main problem I have with the "official timeline", and that's the third arc where Link dies at the end of OoT. As I was one of those avid theorists years ago, posting multiple threads Right Here, at Zelda Dungeon! (thumbs-up, cheap pop), I felt like, even though there were points...

I'll always be hyped for a new Zelda, whether it has even been announced or not. But the statement that they would not be showing it at E3 this year, and having it moved to a 2016 release date, really killed any hype that anyone had from seeing the previously shown footage at last year's E3...

Zelda is a series that continuously relies upon the presence of deities to back its story. If it were only one being or a small group who were atheists, what point would there be to them even being there? And if atheism was a major part of any new Zelda game's story, then all of the characters...

Iwata does say "platform", but he's explaining it there as if it were being compared to the 3DS and Wii U as a new console. He basically says here that even though they announced plans to make mobile games, they aren't giving up on creating dedicated hardware for their software. I believe its...

Hello forum. Mr. Mosley here, requesting the assistance of those of you who may have some spare time, are familiar with using RPG Maker 2003, and would like to help me complete a years-long project I have been working on. I say "working on" lightly, as I have done more along the lines of...

I'm sure they do... But what we say that we want here does not directly affect what products they will come out with, and in the end this is a good thing. Nintendo isn't going to try to incorporate what us fans may want in their next Zelda game, however they may consider a general idea that a...

I understand how canon works and I get that Demise started the cycle to begin with. However, Demise has direct connections mostly to Ganondorf, not to any other villain and its only officially stated that he has a connection to Ganondorf. I get that, being the incarnation of evil, Demise could...

I think whether the game or whoever refers to the being as Shadow Link or Dark Link, the being is essentially the same thing. I like to call it Dark Link because I see it as more of a dark, or evil, version of Link himself, while "shadow" makes me feel like its more of a copy and not so much an...

Exactly.. Demise was the devil of the Zelda world, so yeah he has a backstory, but its like you say no one knew anything about him until the very end of the game. His character was overshadowed by Ghirahim and his form as the Imprisoned the entire game. So he rose up an army and tried to...

Whether you choose to buy-into it or not, Demise is the original "evil". His backstory is basically non-existant, he was just kinda thrown in there, but he is (or was) the original evil which threatened the world. Ganondorf is the reincarnation of Demise, so its not so much like Demise is the...

GamePad all day every day... Maybe its just because I have a 3rd party Pro Controller, but the GamePad is still the most comfortable option IMO. While I'm at it, the GamePad is one of the most comfortable, most accessible controllers I've ever used in the history of ever. I make youngen's cry...

BUT THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN!!!!11 Nah but seriously, if we were to simply not get a "Zelda U", I would be hugely disappointed and in my opinion, would show that even Nintendo views Wii U as a true failure. Nintendo has said many times in the past that they tend to focus on gameplay first in...

I think this goes back to more than just Yuga as far as the problems surrounding the main antagonist. I would argue that, other than Ganon/Ganondorf, no other antagonist has really made much of an impact on the players simply because they haven't been given much of a backstory or have had much...

I did enjoy it. I think that all the rumors of being able to physically obtain the Triforce in OoT played some part in having this included in WW, so for those people who believed some of those rumors or simply wished they could obtain the Triforce in-game, this satisfied those people's needs...

I ended up getting quite a bit of Zelda material, as well as other stuff I'm a big fan of like Sonic (but I supposed that's for another forum ;)) As for Zelda, I got Skyward Sword back in November when it released, of course the edition with the gold Wii remote (I needed it anyway since I...

Everything about the game is fantastic so far, but what I like the most is probably the amount of material to cover within the game. I'm about 25 hours in or so and have been taking my time, to say the least, and it seems remarkable that there is just so much to do in the game. Most of all...

I don't think that the 3DS means much for any specific game honestly. You can do about as much with it as you could the old DS, it just has better graphics and 3D capabilities. Could Nintendo figure out ways to use these to make a very unique Zelda game? Sure... but they could also do the...

Because it simply doesn't need to. What would be the use in having his hat fall off, then have to run and get it every time? Or much worse, due to adding additional coding for something that wouldn't be necessary, have it fall off every time it "should" and simply re-spawn moments later. Its...

Even though I'm a huge Resident Evil fan, there are a couple of reasons why I won't get RE Mercenaries as the first title. The first and most important reason is the fact that I have owned RE4 twice, once for the GC and then the Wii Edition, not including the copy my brother has for the PS2, as...

Earlier, I sold my soul to Nintendo by reserving a 3DS at Gamestop. Though the 50 dollar minimum practically set my wallet aflame, I feel good about being ahead of the game here. Its been a long time since I've had a great enough excitement in video games to even buy new material, much less...

I like this. Majora's Mask feels like a dream. Not necessarily like you are playing a game set in a dream world, like Link's Awakening. We obviously know that LA is a dream, and it incorporates many odd things not seen elsewhere in the Zelda universe to let us know that its a dream, such as...

Its going to be kind of hard to counter some of these arguments, being that you are apparently taking a different approach than most of us, and myself, do. I look at historical facts along with developer quotes, trying to piece the games together the best way based on those two things. Where...

Granted, but Ric Flair delivers it to you, chops you across the chest multiple times, then elbow drops your prized third Oracle game. I wish I was a 16 time World Heavyweight Wrestling champion.

All the evidence is in my post above. Nintendo had many chances to rename the sword in later releases of the game but did not. The name stayed the Magical Sword, so it obviously was not meant to be the Master Sword then or now. The second part of your statement isn't true. Even in beta...

It could be considered less-illegal being that the punishment is less severe, or that the action is not as persecuted. In Kentucky, its technically illegal to carry an ice cream in your back pocket. Do you think there are people here going to jail for such things? No. So what if its illegal...

Well that's pretty obvious. However, terms of acceptability or reasoning is not what I was referring to. I was pointing out that playing a game that is readily available, free, and has made enough coin already is a far less serious crime than stealing food, regardless of if the person is...

The answer is simple: They are and have always been different swords. My evidence comes simply from the fact that Nintendo has had multiple chances to change the name, but haven't. In 1995, the infamous "BS Legend of Zelda" was released in Japan for its satellite download service on the Super...

I see a lot of LA and Oracle opinions up there. Gotta say that those titles are best left on the handhelds, especially the Oracles. The graphical limitations for Oracle of Ages and Seasons was perfect. It took many references from a couple of the best Zelda games, Ocarina of Time and Majora's...

Emulation is a beautiful thing. I mean let's face it, for years we didn't have all this "virtual console", "xbox live arcade" stuff that we have now. And even then, those things come with downsides. Xbox Arcade takes many of the old games that enjoyed and shaves them down. For example, Sonic...

While playing through Twilight Princess for a second time, I noticed that, when obtaining the Gale Boomerang from the Forest Temple, a short dialogue plays. Within it, an unseen voice speaks to Link, claiming to be a "fairy" which powers the boomerang. At closer inspection, the Gale Boomerang...

The ocean never disappeared. Link and Tetra set out after WW to find a new land to be the next Hyrule. They did so, and that is the land you see in Spirit Tracks.

Its not meant to be thought of in that sense. The world which Zelda stayed in, after Ganondorf was defeated and sealed away, kept going on without Link. Wind Waker, beginning the adult timeline, is built off of this world. Once Link was sent back, the timeline that followed (Majora's Mask...
