Prior to the reveal of the harp as being an instrument in the game, I suspected it could be featured in a Zelda title and I conjectured on a forum on how it could be used. When the harp was revealed, I was super excited because I thought it was going to be amazing. Unfortunately... it was very...

My take on the timeline predates (but is supported by) Fi's quote about oral traditions: not the most reliable. I look at the multitudes in variants in the Arthurian legends and think the same rule may apply to Zelda. Yes, one game may say Ganon was turned into a beast by the Trident and another...

Note that TAoL's story doesn't specify that Link must be dead, it just requires his blood. There could be either a direct sequel to TAoL with the same Link and two Zeldas (unlikely) or one a few hundred years later where Ganon's minions are at it again and successfully resurrect the demon king...

The only Zelda game wherein such a thing happened was the original, which let you skip straight to the second quest. It would be awesome if they did something like that for SS wherein it lets you skip straight to Hero Mode... but I doubt that's the case.

At least hundreds of years, but probably thousands, because Zelda/Hylia at one point says that she will sleep likely thousands of years.

That's quite a statement. Everyone? I, for one, felt it was a huge step away from what makes Zelda, Zelda. I did NOT like the graphic style at all, and felt that not only was it not very Zelda, but pretentiously dark for no better reason than to pander to immature kids who begged for a darker...

Firstly, it's nearly indisputable that Ghirahim is as much a sword spirit as Fi. He calls himself a "weapon" in all red, he has many design similarities to Fi, he transforms into a sword for a brief moment just before his final battle with Link, then he enters said sword just like Fi enters the...

I really don't understand how you all are interpreting this so incorrectly. He keeps talking about the 3D remake in terms of a 3D Classics sort of way. Everytime he mentions the remake, he points out the fact that ALttP has "several layers" meaning it was the first time you could be "upstairs"...

Well it cannot be a sequel because many of many factors (Gerudos not existing by ALttP, etc) so it is certainly a prequel in that it must take place at some point prior to ALttP. Not to say it cannot take place DIRECTLY prior to ALttP, however.

I thought that at the beginning too, but am glad that they didn't go that route. Too obvious. Congrats to Zelda for throwing a successful red herring.

However, it is silly that it's called The legend of ZELDA and yet she doesn't appear in two of the games beyond brief cameos.

I think the common consensus is that TLoZ/TAoL are at the very end of the Adult Timeline. I'm 100% on board with your timeline except I wonder why you placed OoX before LA?

Not gonna happen. :P But I wouldn't mind a spin off game. He's pretty funny. And his heart is in the right place. Well, his heart moved to the right place by the end.

It didn't occur to me that it looked like the monster from that movie but it did occur to me that it looked... weird, and not all that creepy.

First of all, that is NOT official artwork. That art only appeared in a strategy guide for A Link to the Past to tell the back story of the previous two games. That strategy guide is rife with extremely inaccurate non-Nintendo inventions. Also, that same strategy guide features art by the same...

One of the things I noticed while playing SS was that there were no Great Faeries in this game. We have Great Faeries in OoT, TWW, ALttP, but none in SS? It then occurred to me that I'd always thought that the Light Spirits were a form of Great Faeries as the Great Faerie theme plays during...

But my point is HOW can it change with no one living there? Look, Hyrule is completely depopulated by humans/Hylians. If the majority of them leave Skyloft (assuming it's still up there, but we can debate that for an eternity) for Hyrule, who exactly is going to be this thriving population up...

People used to say the same about OoT "There's no way a game could come before this one! This is about the first appearance of Ganon and the first time the Triforce was obtained!" yet... we now see how wrong that is with SS. Never underestimate Nintendo in their ability to rewrite Hyrule's...

I was also a bit annoyed that the forging of the Master Sword was not as depicted in the A Link to the Past instruction manual, but then again, we're basing this on the NOA version, and they took massive liberties with the story. In a more accurate translation of the Japanese, we find that the...

I assumed that there was some sort of affinity between Hylia and loftwings, since they seem to be her symbol. And since Link's red loftwing is probably the most famous of all during the era directly after SS, it would naturally become the crest of the royal family, being that Zelda is the...

We do not see where they are flying to/from, however. They are a flying people, so perhaps they are scouting out the land. Simply seeing them flying up and flying down from above cannot prove Skyloft is still up there. That's not even my argument, however. Maybe it is slowly descending. That's...

I actually predicted the harp like four years ago on another Zelda fan site, but the way I thought it would work was not the way Nintendo made at all. Rather than plucking arpeggios preset to each piece of music, I thought that (like the Ocarina and the wolf howl and the Spirit Flute) we'd get...

Um, what? My NES only gitched out and froze a few times total. Thankfully never on a Zelda game, and thankfully my data was never erased.

I'm abysmal at this mini game. I gave up. :P

It doesn't "delete" your game so much as starts your right back at the very beginning but now in Hero Mode. You get to keep all of your bugs and materials, but none of your weapons or items. -There are NO heart drops AT ALL in hero mode until you find the Heart Medal again, which isn't until...

I think it was about the voices she's been hearing. She started to bring it up before, but got interrupted. Now that they're alone and no one else around to judge her, I think she was going to open up to Link about what she's been feeling/hearing.

Aonuma has said that they are definitely working on Zelda Wii U right now, and also that they are working on a new Zelda for 3DS. Besides those, we've heard that Miyamoto and Aonuma both want to remake ALttP in 3D (as a 3D classics? or as a 3D styled game?) and they've both basically confirmed...

Tarantula = ta-RAN-chu-la, ergo Skulltula = SKULL-chu-la. I used to say/think: skull-TU-la until I heard someone say it the right way and then realized how much more sense that makes.

I don't recall us ever seeing Skyloft after the defeat of Demise. I'm almost done with Hero Mode and will be able to see the ending again, but I'm pretty sure we never see Skyloft again. For all we know it came crashing down after the defeat of Demise just like the Goddess Statue did previously...

The crater left by the Goddess Statue was the huge area of the Sealed Grounds. A crater left by Skyloft would be all that much larger, yet we never see such a crater in the middle of Hyrule, where Castle Town sits. It's far more reasonable to believe that after serving its purpose protecting...

Agreed. And yet... If Skyloft is a piece of Hyrule lifted into the heavens because of the Demise situation, and with Demise defeated, Skyloft would surely return to the surface. And where could it fit? We haven't seen any huge craters besides Sealed Grounds (wherein the Goddess Statue islet...

Unfortunately, this shows that your SS split theory falls apart. You cannot rely on "they goofed" to explain away why your timeline doesn't work. I never assumed that SS caused a split. I took the fact that the Old Woman was wearing Zelda's bracelet the very first time we meet her, and that...

Zelda has always been a "kids game" from its first inceptions, which you played. Even the first two games which you played when you were young had "colorful environments and music." Zelda has always been like this and likely always will be. So what has changed? You. Because you've grown up...

Contrary to popular thought, back in the day they didn't just dump you into the game and let you figure it out completely on your own. The game came with a huge foldout map which showed 2/3 of the land (expecting you to fill in the other third on your own)...

I get the impression that The Flood happened generations before "current time" in the game, so it would be unlikely that there could have been a Hyrule, let alone a king or queen of said kingdom. So a Kokiri we never met in OoT becomes a Sage after the events of OoT. What happened to Saria...

It surpasses the hype. Why? The characters are full of life; each person in Skyloft has their own story/agenda/arc. The gameplay is addicting; how will I ever go back to pressing a button to swing a sword again? And the Beetle is so much fun to control. The music is enchanting; so many...

I've heard this mentioned before, but does anyone have a source? Or know what the two dungeons were going to be like? As for my part, I love TWW. It's in my top 3. But I would have loved for a couple more full-sized dungeons in which they could have scattered a couple Triforce shards each or...

I'd play it. It could take place as the Skyloftians are settling in in the central land of this surface, forming the town which would become castle town, building a castle near the new Temple of Time (Sealed Temple), with some people akin to pioneers, settling the first incarnation of Kakariko...

I don't think we should let the names and geography of provinces inform our theories. If you take a look just a few hundred years ago at a map of the US (http://www.csub.edu/~jreyna/MAPS/US%20TO%201776-1853.jpg) you'll see that "Oregon" and "Texas" had very different shapes and borders than they...

If that's the case, where was his incarnation in the backstory? When Ganondorf broke from the seal, why wasn't there an incarnation of Link then to stop him and prevent that whole flood incident?

So who is the kid in TWW? Just some completely disassociated kid? I guess that's what they keep trying to say in the game... Just seems so strange that in that timeline there will never be an incarnation of Link, but plenty of boy heroes who look EXACTLY like him (TWW/PH, ST).

Don't get me wrong: SS is an amazing game. Maybe even my favorite Zelda. But after finishing it... I noticed that some long-held traditions of Zelda are completely missing from SS. 1) Great Faeries. They've been in every Zelda game since ALttP (one could even suggest that the four spring...

I have some questions about TWW's backstory: 1) Who are Tetra's parents? Someone had to give her that piece of Wisdom. 2) Where did Fado come from? If the Kokiri are immortal why wasn't he in OoT? And why was he the Sage shown and not Saria? Obviously by "current time" in the game, all the...
