I wasn't sure where to post, but this seems like a good place. I was really into the first two generations of Pokemon when I was a kid, but there came a time in high school and college in which I just really couldn't afford much gaming. Recently I've started gaming a lot more (which led me to...

The function of the pedestal is much closer to that of the magic mirror in ALttP than time shift stones. So, I would say there is really no reason to believe time shift stones would be involved.

That was a whole lot of speculation that essentially relies on a character's eye color for any grounds. A few specifics though: I don't think that is a logical assumption at all. Small sample size and false equivocation are both at play here. It could very well be the case that Lorulian...

I think that Majora's Mask has really become popular because of the OoT remake. I remember that there was a lot of excitement about MM when it was released because everyone just loved OoT. If you were a kid and you played and loved OoT when it came out, then you were most definitely going to get...

With the recent updates of OoT and Wind Waker, the fact that ALBW was in many was a kind of remake of ALTTP, and the rumors of a MM remake, I have to disagree with this purely because I'm ready to play some completely new and original Zelda games. I did enjoy Link's Awakening, and I think that...

You ask, "Why not have both?" which seems kind of silly considering we do have both. If people are somewhere suggesting that there should not be any 2D or 3D Zelda games, I haven't seen that. The only real point I see you making is that there should only be 2D games on handhelds and only be 3D...

I try not to speculate or get my hopes up about anything, but a MM remake with an original Wii U game tied to it as a sequel (or even a prequel) would be absolutely phenomenal. If they are planning a MM remake (which, I really feel like they are), this would be a good reason that it hasn't been...

I agree with this. Now that Nintendo is finally starting to embrace the use of the internet in its games, I think a Four Sword type of game that can be played locally as well as over the internet could be extremely fun. I do think a game like this could possibly work better on the 3DS, but...

Frankly, I enjoy the graphic styles of all of the games, so I'll be happy with anything. I would love to see them go with a graphic style that is as completely shocking now as Wind Waker's graphics were at the time, but frankly I'm just not even sure what that would look like. The "Hyrule...

So, we've pretty well established the possibility that the Deku Tree told them this in order to protect them from the dangers of the outside world, but Craptain Falcon is right about them turning into Koroks. Perhaps turning into Koroks is the result of extended absence from the forest. That...

Hilda's plan is a really iffy aspect of the story. Somehow she learned that Zelda has the Triforce of Wisdom (probably pretty easy to learn), that a man/beast named Ganon who is sealed away in the sacred realm (or is dead?) possesses the Triforce of Power and he can be summoned by collecting all...

Completely agree. And I think that it is worth noting that the "dark" aspect of Lorule (Which is seen as a juxtaposition to the "light" of Hyrule) seems to only be caused by the lack of a Triforce. Once Lorule regains a Triforce, its land appears to brighten.

Just wanted to say that I finished Season 2 last night, and I absolutely loved it. The last two episodes seemed a bit out of place, and felt more like an afterward, but overall I enjoyed season 2 much more than season 1. Looking forward to catching Season 3.

I'm from Louisiana and recently moved to California. So, I've learned that "y'all" "supper" and "get down at the store" are weird to some people.

I'm glad you brought up that quote because the idea that he was some retired Hero or had just finally gotten to stressed out to be heroic anymore (or whatever) definitely rubbed me the wrong way. I'm sure these items were just what was available in Lorule. Ravio strikes me as a bit of a...

I think this is interesting, but I think there is some danger is giving too much significance to colors, numbers, elements, and symbols across the series. There are definitely connections to be made and exploring those connections is certainly worthwhile; but, giving them too much significance...

Good point, I hadn't considered that. That's a bit upsetting, because I really liked the idea of it existing there, and Yuga's summoning of Ganon could even help explain how Ganon escaped the Sacred Realm. I'm not convinced that this issue completely throws off my theory. Ganondorf does turn...

I think this is a nice way of thinking about it. Lorule's existence and especially the existence of its own Triforce raises a host of questions, and I think assuming that everything in Lorule is the opposite of its Hyrulian counterpart somewhat misses the point of the story. I also think Lorule...

The entire story of ALBW shows that an evil can "pop up" in Lorule. There were wars which led to the destruction of the Triforce. Hilda decided to use any means necessary to retrieve Hyrule's Triforce. The game ends on a good note, but clearly Lorule has its troubles, and probably its own evils...

My friends at home in Louisiana are probably all way more comfortable with each other than I imagine most people are. Hugging is part of our natural routine. If it someone I've just met, I would probably only give a short hug. If it is someone that I've known for a little while, probably a more...

I've experienced flea problems a couple times during my life, but nothing too severe. I did have an interesting experience with termites though. These are not the kind of termites that tear up your home, they are small, thin, pencil shaped brown bugs with wings (though I rarely saw them fly)...

In the normal mode, I was pretty indifferent to the system because i never died until after I had already purchased everything; however, Hero Mode changed my perspective a bit. After having my three/four heart pieces ripped away several times, I had to think more carefully about which items I...

Something like this could possibly work for a small downloadable title, particularly if there was a desire to create a "Zelda" game without having any lore issues, but I don't see this happening for a major entry in the series. The name "Legend of Zelda" sells copies alone; if you change that...

As has been stated, we learn of very few characters that have last names in the series. I think it is probably safe to assume that they just don't use them except in rare cases. Also, with frequent rumors of character's descendants and ancestors, it would kind of ruin that mystery.

I think this is probably as good of an explanation as I've seen if this is indeed the location of ALBW on the timeline. It assumes a little more than I'd like (specifically, Ganon receiving the Triforce of Power while being dead/sealed away), but it isn't bad. That being said, I have spent...

We have slightly conflicting information from the Gossip Stone and Hyrule Historia; perhaps not enough so to go against what you are saying, but I thought I'd point them out.The Stone says: "They say that the owl named Kaepora Gaebora is the reincarnation of an ancient sage." I think anything...

I just recently watched the first season, and I'll probably start on the second season soon. Overall, I really enjoyed it. The cast was really great. It combined drama with the horror genre the same way that Game of Thrones combines drama with fantasy, and I'm always a fan of seeing genres with...

A hot, black cup of dark roast coffee really hits the spot. When I was younger I would load my coffee up with sugar and cream, but I decided to cut excess sugar out of my diet. Also, when I was young I remember my dad and my neighbor used to drink black coffee. It might sound silly, but I've...

"It would make his Triforce of Courage mean something." I disagree here. The Triforce pieces are associated with those individuals who most possess those attributes. Courage is the primary aspect of Link's character just as Power is a primary aspect of Ganon and Wisdom is a primary aspect of...

First, I don't see any reason to believe that Lorule and Termina are related (I know there are some Majora's Mask references in the game, but I don't think they explicitly point to those two worlds being related). So, unless we can actually make a strong connection, trying to answer your...

Well, everything has to end sometime. Like others had said, as long as Nintendo is still creating video games (whether on their own hardware or not) there will still be Legend of Zelda games. Even if Nintendo goes altogether, someone else will pick up the franchise. The games are way too...

As much as I wanted this theory to work, I have to concede the point based on the fact that we do see Hyrule's Sacred Realm at the end. The word "Sacred Realm" does get thrown around a little more than I believe it should at times; Hyrule Historia even calls Hyrule a "sacred realm" (not...

Saying that the sages are dead requires far more assumptions than saying that they are alive; therefore, I believe they are alive at the end. I will grant that they have some special abilities, but I don't see a reason to believe that they are dead. Seeing the "orbs" flying around at the end...

Huh. I find this extremely interesting. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that does anything to really confirm this idea, but if you have more info/thoughts on this, or if this has been discussed elsewhere, please let me know.

I feel as though the official timeline has done the best job at creating a unified chronology of the Legend of Zelda universe out of anything that I have seen thus far. As fans, we get very tied up with what is considered canon, and rightly so. We are always trying to connect dots, even if those...

I'm really impressed by this idea. It is something that I've never thought about, but it seems to fit very nicely with every interaction involving text in the game. Very cool to think about.

I tend to think that each of the temples serve a sort of divine purpose, but not necessarily for worship. I'm mostly speaking about OoT because I just completed all of the temples. Most of them require some tools to gain entry to (all except for the Temple of Time and Spirit Temple), which...

I want to applaud you for trying to connect Lorule with other games in the series. I've been trying to do so myself, but each attempt has thus far been unsuccessful. I think your ideas are interesting, but frankly I don't think it is correct or even necessary to posit this theory. So, first I'll...

I don't have a particular order or ranking, but this game is definitely one of my favorite Zelda games. If I had a list, it would make my top 5. Normally I am completely exhausted by the end of a Zelda game, but I did not feel that at all this time. While the game was on the easy side, I felt...

This was very helpful! I pretty much ignored this game on my first play through, but I'm trying to get everything on Hero. This helped me to fairly quickly earn the rupees needed for several items. It took me a few tries to get the timing right, but once I got it, it's been gold. Thanks for this!

I could not get the path to the Boss Door open in the Dark Palace because I had missed the spot to bomb at the very beginning of the dungeon. Rookie mistake, but that was the one time I consulted a walkthrough. I did not find every Mai Mai nor every heart piece, but I intend to go for a 100% run...

I really did not at all see the reveal coming, and I feel kind of silly about it now. Something I thought amusing though was how outgoing and talkative Ravio was. Kind of pokes at the fact that Link never speaks. And the fact that he was dressed as the pink bunny - should have been a dead give away.

I sort of agree but I disagree with how we get to that point. It is true that Lorule was already in a state of chaos before the Triforce was destroyed, but you could say the same about Hyrule before the Sages sealed the Triforce in the Sacred Realm (according to aLBW lore). As far as how the...

I completely agree that geography means very little in terms of proving or disproving anything. I feel like that plays into the fact that each game is a "Legend." I did think it was funny that you (and lots of people) use OoT as the point of comparison rather than aLttP. As in, you did not...

Frankly, I hope that in the future more detail is given about the downfall timeline. While it probably isn't considered canon (or at least, it is probably pretty weak) the aLttP manual says that the master sword was forged during the imprisoning war. The exact text: Now, I don't recall...

My biggest problem is that this proposed scenario is completely based on a hypothetical scenario (that being, the parallel universe) while I think there are other, more supported, explanations for Lorule (namely, the one in this thread: http://zeldadungeon.net/forum/showthread.php?t=47133) that...

I was trying very hard to connect the monsters of aLttP and the masked members of aLBW, and I think that you are right about this. I'm going to try to elaborate on the theory, give my own perspective, throw some more support in, and see how far we can take this. From the aLttP manual...

I find it strange to assume that Yuga is the Lorule equivalent of Impa. Rather, I believe that Yuga is the Lorule equivalent of Ganondorf. Ganondorf is known for abducting/controlling Zelda in one way or another in order to fulfill his own desires. In Lorule, Yuga is unknowingly being...

Somehow, I completely avoided the part of the map containing the bomb flower, and I was extremely confused about how to destroy those giant rocks. I assumed that I would eventually get a new item that would destroy them, or that my bombs or hammer would later be able to destroy them. So, the...
