Well, technically, the theoretical details of what we presume time travel would work like in reality are handled pretty lightly in the game. Temporal paradoxes abound, and ambiguity is used to blur the wrinkled details, like the magazine photos of an aged celebrity. Ergo, I'm not inclined to...

If Link actually is 'defeated' by Ganon instead of (say) a lack of involvement, your theory sits the best with me so far. Well done. I do hope that when the actual events are clarified, the true occurance is close to this, rather than something more disagreable like 'Link being defeated in the...

Now, correct me if I'm wrong; but wouldn't timelines split rather where different choices are made and followed, rather than simply plucking the MS from its pedastal? I mean, if I walked through a time portal to seven years ago, and then just stood there for an hour blnking dumbly before...

That's probably one of the most concise explanation's I've read thus far, well done. However, I still only see two timelines in this 'abandoned timeline' theory that's naturally become so popular in the face of 'Link being defeated'. I'm not saying it's wrong; but I am saying that the math...

I'm old enough to clearly remember when A Link to the Past orignally came out, and it utterly captivated me. To this day I still use ALttP as a yard stick to measure all the other games with. My second favorite used to be Ocarina of Time, but Skyward sword edged it out and even nipped...

I completely agree. With our current understanding of this new branch of the timeline, the reasoning behind it just feels rashly duct-taped together. There's too much room for conjecture as solutions to incongruencies. Did it really state that? It's still my favorite game of the series...

Well, yes and no. The Triforce grants wishes of those that wield it, and (as I understand it) the scope of those wishes can be whatever it is in the power of the Old Gods to do. That's an effing lot of potential; but in a way it's not that the 'wielder' has that power, so much as it is that...

http://www.zeldadungeon.net/plogger/plog-content/images/a-link-to-the-past/manual-scans-us/003.jpg They're not mentioned by name; but you'll have to forgive that as Nintendo hadn't named them until OoT was developed.

You're right, but I thought about it for a bit and decided to put him there anyway for several reasons: 1) He never actually got his hands on the Triforce, so he can't yet be discounted from godhood, as he didn't have the opportunity to disprove that status by 'not being able to wield it'...

My biggest issue is just how arbitrary it seems. "Link fails," but at what point in OoT was the potential of Link's failure a defining and motivating choice of path in the forking timeline? I can't think of one that stands out any more than the possible 'failures' that Link could have...

Riiiight. I completely forgot about the spiritual stones. What was the Master Sword the key to again?

In another thread there was some discussion about the 'Goddess' and whether or not she actually was a 'god'. I made a wall of text response that kind of leaked beyond the confines of the thread's purpose, so I've decided to make it a new thread. I literally just finished SS yesterday and as I...

I can't quite get my head around the 'failure' either. I mean, I've often thought about how it might be neat to have a Zelda game that follows an era where 'evil' actually conquered; but this isn't exactly the same thing, as it doesn't seem to add up under the existing circumstances. If adult...

I literally just finished SS yesterday and as I understand it, despite the wanton use of the words 'gods' and 'goddesses', it's actually a tier based system. I'll try and describe the hierarchy of divinity in the Zelda games as I understand it below. Mostly this is just vapid fan-theory, so...

I've got a few thoughts about this, and here they are in no particular order: We're all going to buy the game, and most probably really enjoy it; so for our purposes, review scores don't matter beyond outside confirmation of how awesome we want the game to be. That said, there are...

Actually from what I've read, Skyward Sword's plot was created after technical development had already begun, and that's pretty much standard procedure for Nintendo. That's not a bad thing either, as from what we're hearing, the game's story is smashing. I do agree that Nintendo has a general...

I'm fairly certain that Nintendo has settled with a split-time-line for the chronological order of their games. However, I also suspect the the greatly coveted 'top-secret grand time-line' in their possession is a slightly cleaned up version of something they haphazardly jotted out on a bar...

Apparently you're mistaken. His OP was completely understandable, at least to me, though a little grammatically dubious. Upon a re-read of the thread I also noticed that one of the other posters began to assert that DuelMark believed Hyrule to be in some way connected to 'the real world'...

I gathered immediately that Duelmark is pondering the possiblity that the Hyrule we're all familiar with is, perhaps, a land that was born after the fall of some technologically advanced society in a manner similar to (for lack of an easier immediate comparison to my addled mind) "Planet of the...

In my opinion, knocking a good few points off for (technically) limited graphics and a lack of voice acting is a bit ill-balanced for reviewing. However, that's not to say I expect SS to be a flawless game. Indeed, I'm sure there will be at least a couple points that have me sighing...

I wasn't under the impression that the sages actually died. What it was that actually happened to them when they were "awakened" wasn't especially clear, but I did gather that they couldn't hang out in the Hyrule Starbucks anymore. Still, missing out on some Lon Lon Latte is a far cry from...

^ This. Clearly. On a personal interpretational note, from the footage I've seen the Imprisoned strikes me as an attack dog, or a beast of war from the battle described in the prologue. Perhaps it was too big or strong to destroy at that time, and as such, it was Imprisoned (Wo-ho, see...

So... what? Sounds like that's possible. Well, maybe. It's true that as people who play videogames for part of their living, they're probably a little more efficient at it than I am. Either way, I'm sure our milage will vary.

So, apparently the main quest in SS should take around 35 hours to complete. They claim it's in the goppingly huge amount of side quests that push SS into 50-100 hours. http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/31582/legend-of-zelda-skyward-sword-about-35-hours-long/ That's pretty much...

Isn't that just delightful. I can't wait to write home about this. My mother will be so proud. Now, as I was saying, Tingle is obviously Girahim's master.

Well, those were "what could fill this gap on a logically structured plot level" kind of estimations; but there's still nothing to say we'll actually see a 'visual' of Ganondorf. Even if my favoured 'evil spirit infusion... thing' theory is in any way correct, all it would really require is one...

I remember reading those statements by Aunoma, in which he said (I'm going to paraphrase this, as I'm too lazy to find the actual interviews) Ganon wouldn't be appearing in the game, but SS would somewhat explain how he came to be the nemesis in OoT that we all loved to hate. I also remember...

Assumptious accusations? My word, that seems a little inflamatory, and even hostile (to be candid); but perhaps that was not your intention? I don't believe I've been assumptious, or accustational, and it certainly wasn't my intention. Accusation at least would somewhat require that I have...

To be clear, I don't think any of the 'religious' statues or designs are actually allusions to existing faiths. It seems far more likely to me that the games' artistic designers simply used existing works as inspirationfor the look of statues, buildings, and motifs found throughout the series...

Well, let's take a look. Fi: Noun (music) The solfeggio syllable used to indicate the sharp of the fourth note of a major scale. Abbreviation (computer science) The end if program instruction, usually as shorthand. Also, the upper case letter phi (φι), is the 21st letter...
