    What Happened to the Gerudo Tribe?

    Until now, I assumed that the Gerudo Tribe had been completely wiped out prior to the events of TP. But the official timeline has shown that not to be the case. So what exactly happened to them? And why weren't they in TP?

    Zelda II with Lyrics

    I was looking through YouTube and found this video. It happens to be about the most awesome thing I've seen on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRpfgo-1kNQ&feature=g-like

    Which is your favorite version? The original or the DX remake?

    Zelda Game Tournament: How Should I Select the Order?

    You might know that I have a "Zelda Smackdown" planned to start next year. However, I'm unsure about how I'll select the order. I want to select it personally, to ensure that something like "OoT vs. WW" doesn't happen in the first round; but that seems like it might be kind of cheap. Should I...

    The Trouble with Tridents

    Okay, for a long time, people have stated that the Trident in FSA is the same as the one in LttP. I beg to differ, so let's have a serious discussion about it. Now it makes sense for Ganondorf to wield a Trident, as he's so tall. However, are all the tridents he uses the same one? Let's look...

    Spoiler "Flawless" Timeline...

    Are you done laughing? Okay, well here's the video of the "flawless" timeline: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz-2XVWdIK0&feature=player_embedded Now, apply directly to the forehead: If you look at the comments, you'll notice that I had to post three comments on all the flaws in this...

    Annouchment: Zelda Smackdown 2012

    Well, "Skyward Sword" makes 16 official Zelda titles, and that got me thinking..."Forlong," I told myself, "Sixteen is a perfect number for a tournament, is it not?" "Why yes it is!" I answered myself. So why not? Here's how I plan to do it: Tournament starts in the first week of January...

    Zelda Games That You Don't Like As Much As Everyone else

    You know what I'm talking about. Everyone is all about that one Zelda game; but, once you give it a shot, you just aren't feeling it. You don't hate it or find it terrible. You just don't like it as much as everyone else seems to. I have developed a problem with OoT because of the fanbase...

    Hardest Zelda Games You've Played

    I think we all know that AoL is the hardest Zelda game, but what about 2nd and 3rd? Or even 4th and 5th? List the hardest Zelda games you played (any number of them you wish). Counting down: Aventure of Link (naturally) Legend of Zelda Link to the Past

    Spoiler My New Timeline (still Not Finished)

    Okay, I made a change to my timeline because I wasn't liking how LoZ and AoL were fitting in. So I redid the whole thing and I'm going to try placing them in relation to the other games. But I'm still running into problems. So, I'll first explain my timeline as it is, then ask how to place...

    Spoiler Link/Zelda Relationship Discussion

    Well, there is a lot of hinting of Link and Zelda being more than friends in this game. Thought it would be good to discuss the evidence, and allow people to refute it. I'm sure the Link/item-check-girl shippers totally don't see Zelda as more than a friend to Link. I'll start with two of...

    Spoiler Skyward Sword Better Than Wind Waker?

    In my mind, WW is the best Zelda game. However, I'm not certain if SS beats it out. So tell me, is SS better than WW? Why do you say that?

    Need Some Help with Ranking the Zelda Games...

    I'm going to write an article on the Zelda games ranking them from "most average" (sounds better than "worst") to best. I intend to write it after playing "Skyward Sword" so that I can assess it properly, but I need help with ranking some of the other games. I'm confident on LoZ, LttP, LA...

    Spoiler Skyward Sword Goddess

    Something just doesn't gel with that goddess chick, and than it hit me. What if she isn't a goddess? Not a true goddess anyway. Maybe she was the first person to touch the Triforce and became a kindhearted, all-powerful ruler. We know that she created Fi, or to reiterate: she made life. And...

    How Do We Differentiate Link and Zelda in Various Games

    While posting my timeline theory explanation, I started running into a problem with identifying one Link as opposed to another. As this was the case, I was wondering if we should try to agree on some universal rules for differentiating one Link or Zelda from another. Here are some I think are...

    Forlong's Timeline Explaination Extravaganza!

    I've commented on a lot of timelines, but never made one of my own. Well, I did, but never explained it. Time to show you why I put the games the way I do. Here are the most important factors, in my mind, to constructing a timeline: 1: direct references If one game refers to the events of...

    I Need Help Presneting My Time-line Theory...

    Okay, I've commented on a few other theories, but haven't presented my own. Sure, it's in my signature, but I don't explain the how and why. And since my computer lacks the RAM to allow me to do a let's play, I'll try this. Unfortunately, I ran into another problem. This one is personal...

    Spoiler What Do You Think This Will Lead To?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcs0b2KBudA I've watched this video a few times and it does look like Nintendo is going for a Link/Zelda romance. What are your thoughts? Good? Not good? How will it progress, if at all?

    Twilight Princess: Taking a Leaf from Team Ico's Book...

    I noticed that Twilight Princess has a "Team Ico" feel to it. No, I don't mean the tacked-on colossus boss fight. I mean in story telling method. A great many things are left unanswered: how Ganondorf got the Triforce of Power and where the other two are to mention the big ones. And a lot of...

    Forlong's New and Improved Timeline!

    Thanks to some info from mafuletrekkie on youtube, I took time to rethink my timeline and decided to explain my journey in forming the timeline as I see it. Now I'm open for it to change, as I have not played all the games and know that wikis can sometimes be misleading. I'll start with what I...

    My Theories on the Skyward Sword Plot...

    Since I already made a thread on how I thought it would open (and did get a few things right), I thought it would be fun to give my thoughts on the major plot points that will occur as the game unfolds. Zelda is descended from a powerful sage that killed Ghirahim's master and founded Skyloft...

    The Meaning of Ganondorf's Name...

    I was thinking that it was kind of weird how Ganondorf's beast form is referred to as "Ganon". Then a thought occurred to me, what if "Ganon" is a word for "demon" or something (Ganon was originally made to be an allegory for Satan). "Ganondorf" might be a name that's derived from that word...

    Will Bosses Go All "Shadow of the Colossus" on Us?

    With the stamina meter, it would be cool if at least one of the bosses had to be fought like the Colossi. You got yourself and armor plated giant and you have to jump on his back to reach the weak point. Sure would be more epic than "throw bombs in it's mouth". :dry: Edit: crap, typo on...

    How Skyward Sword Will Begin...

    I wanted to share my thoughts on how Skyward Sword will probably begin, and I mean after you rename Link "Dumb ****" and his Loft Bird "YO MAMA!" You all know you want to name them that! It will start from Link's POV. The screen is dark because he's asleep. A voice calls out for him to wake...

    Zelda Manga: What Do You Think?

    Well, I'm sure some of you have heard about the Zelda manga. What are your thoughts on it? Do you enjoy it? Think it's true to the spirit of the games? I've only read OoT, MM, MC, and PH all the way through. OoT and MC suffer from a lot of the pacing flaws a lot of video game adaptations...

    Priestess Zelda?

    Now, we all know that Zelda isn't a princess in this game. However, she is an important person in Skyloft; even Ghirahim respects her position by calling her "her holiness". In addition the Goddess goes through a lot of effort to protect her from Ghirahim. So I was thinking that Zelda might...

    Advice on Doing a Let's Play

    Other Re-occurring Characters?

    What other re-occurring characters in Zelda should be in SS? If Tingle is in it, I'd better be able to cut him to ribbons with the Skyward Sword.

    The Ultimate Zelda Game: What Would It Need?

    I just thought this would be fun. What kind of features, either from a previous game or completely original, would the ultimate Zelda game need? I'm thinking a sort of dating sim sub-quest. You know, wooing various women in Hyrule upon your choice. It would be a good way to appease the...

    How Many Dungeons?

    Pretty simple. How many dungeons are going to be in the game? I'm banking on about 8. That served WW and TP well.

    Defining Link's Personality

    I have heard people crying that Nintendo can't give Link anymore personality because narrowing his personality would ruin the game and make less people able to connect with him. I could go on about how that makes no sense, but I that I've got a better idea. They seem to be under the impression...

    Wii: Failure!?

    I've seen quite a few people say this about the Wii. As polity as possible, I must ask those individuals: what in the World is wrong with you!? The Wii has sold over 87.5 million units. The only consoles still in production that have sold more than it are the PS2 and the DS. And most of...

    Ocarina of Time Final Dungeon: Kind of Disappointing

    I can't be the only one that wasn't impressed with the final dungeon of this game. It was just a feeble rehash of the five sage dungeons with part of the unfinished Light Temple. Now the fight with Ganondorf and the escape from the collapsing tower was cool, but couldn't they have tried harder...

    Link to the Past->Oracle Games: Same Link?

    I was thinking, is the Link in the Oracle games the same one in "Link to the Past". They have to occur after LttP because the Triforce is in a shrine. I think it makes sense for it to be the same Link who put it there. However, I haven't played the games through completely yet and want to be...

    Multiple Ganons!?

    So are there multiple Ganons in the games? How many? Well, let's put it to the poll. First person to say "OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" gets neg-repped. You have been warned.

    Wind Waker 3D: Should They Make It?

    With the success of OoT on the 3DS, should they remake WW for it as well? I think so. It would be awesome.

    Skyward Sword--the Art Style

    A lot of people have been commenting on it, so it makes sense for there to be a thread for it. What are your thoughts on the art style of SS? I've actually wanted to see an art style like this for a while. I was thinking that it would look great for a "Lord of the Rings" animated series...

    Ocarina of Time Is It Really the Best Zelda Game Ever?

    I really cannot agree with that assessment. I couldn't when it was first released, either. I mean, it was good, but it was no "Link to the Past". You see, after I finished it, there were three crippling issues that made me think a little less of the game. Too many side quests with too...

    Identity of the "Hero of Men" (from "Minish Cap")

    I heard a theory that it was Gustaf, who was made king as a reward for his brave deeds. This theory made me want to find a way to smack someone through the internet. I could go into how monarchies don't work that way, but let's just look at this guy: Gee...he's a kid wearing a green...

    Origins of the Master Sword...and DARK LINK!

    Okay, here's my thoughts on the matter (bare with me, it will take a while). A young man named "Link" was almost finished training to become a knight of Hyrule. The wizard Agahnim was planning to us a spell on the knights that would turn them against the king. He decided to test it on young...

    Twili=Sheikah?

    I think that the Twili were Sheikah before they were banished to the Twilight Relm. Midna has red eyes, as confermed Sheikah do. Also the Sheikah were very powerful, yet by the time of "Ocarina of Time", they are very few in number. It could be explained that this is because most were sent to...

    Phantom Ganon's Purpose

    I was confused about Phantom Ganon. Was use was he? He's one of the easiest boses in the three games he appears in. All you have to do is beat him at tennis. It's a good think Link plays "Wii Sports" all the time. :p However he does how one power the other monsters don't have. Dispite...

    Descendants of the Seven Sages

    Does anyone else wonder about this? I find it a little odd that a Zora and a Goron both have human descendants. I would assume that Impa's descendant was Zelda's handmaiden, but that's all I can surmise for now. Wow. I used the word "surmise"!:D

    Forlong's Timeline Theory

    Here's my theory on the timeline. I'll include major events in Hyrule's history. Note: Some of these are only theories of mine. • Hylians inhabit the valley of Koholint and rename it Hyrule. Link the Great and Zelda the Fair seal the monsters of the land. Hylian Reckoning begins. •...
