    It's fairly high up, though I think I'm going to need to stew on it a while longer before it really settles into a spot. When I first started playing it, it displaced BotW for third-favorite; at the moment, I think it's pretty much tied between them, and I'm not sure if BotW is going to come...

    Zelda Timeline Proposal: No Fallen Hero

    For the moment, I'll be updating the timeline thus: ...................................................................................................../- WW/PH - ST\........./AoC LoZ/AoL - SS - MC - FS - FSA - ALttP/LA - LBW/TFH - OoX - EoW - OoT/MM - TP - HW - BotW...

    Zelda Timeline Proposal: No Fallen Hero

    Absolutely delighted to note that the timeline as I've presented it here has no flipflopping of Zora between River and Ocean forms and instead lines up very nicely with River zora (i.e. Zora(enemy) on the Zelda Wiki) up until OoT, at which point we only see Ocean Zora (i.e. Zora(race) on the...

    What's your favorite Watsonian explanation for the Christian symbolism in earlier games?

    Which game is the sand goddess from? that sounds like a fascinating idea to explore!

    Zelda Timeline Proposal: No Fallen Hero

    Thank you so much for your response! I'd like to address some of your concerns: A far as the LttP/LA/OoX distinction goes: I don't think it makes much of a difference either way, the real objection I have to combining them has mostly to do with that feeling like Too Many Quests for one hero and...

    Zelda Timeline Proposal: No Fallen Hero

    While some places in ToTK have things that could theoretically indicate the previous presence of shrines at those locations, there are other places that have things that couldn't have been there if they previously had towers or shrines. The most obvious one of these that comes to mind is the...

    Preliminary Timeline Thoughts

    So despite initially thinking EoW was probably sometime around ALBW due to the rifts and what initially seemed like a fairly similar map, I'm instead starting to think it has to be either before OoT or sometime relatively closer to BotW. I still think it could potentially be in the downfall...

    Preliminary Timeline Thoughts

    My instinct, several hours in, is sometime around LBW, whether before or after I'm not totally sure

    What's your favorite Watsonian explanation for the Christian symbolism in earlier games?

    That's exactly my point. I'm not so sure about the Roman method of execution being designed to honor any particular god or system of beliefs, though I'm aware that crosses appear in many world historical and present religions; my understanding was that it's a very effective method of carrying...

    What's your favorite Watsonian explanation for the Christian symbolism in earlier games?

    For some context: ""Watsonian" and "Doylist" are general terms in media analysis that allow one to specify the framework through which one is tackling a question: whether one is looking at a narrative conundrum through the lens of the author (Doylist) or in the context of the fictional world in...

    Zelda Timeline Proposal: No Fallen Hero

    The canon timeline looks like this: ............................../ - WW/PH - ST SS - MC - FS - OoT - LttP/OoX/LA - LBW/TFH - LoZ/AoL ...............................\MM - TP - FSA I would like to propose this alternate timeline, which, while still experiencing a timeline split from OoT, relies...

    If one were to insert these songs into a Zelda game, what scenario or would you imagine this fitting in?

    "We'll meet again" when OoT Link leaves Lon Lon ranch for the last time as a kid, then for the last time seven years in the future. Alternatively, at the end of Majora's Mask, or the end of Wind Waker when Link leaves Outset to travel with Tetra's crew. "Maybe" I think perhaps Saria saying good...

    Has anyone seen the 1989 Zelda Cartoon?

    The show was my childhood, I used to go to my grandma's house and watch the two or three episodes she had on VHS over and over again and my aunt and I would play Zelda, where she was Zelda and was trapped on her bunk bed or at the bottom of the stairs or wherever, and I was link and needed to...

    Wanna know a secret about my profile pic? I literally took a picture of the 8bit Link on my keychain with the Master Sword on my keychain positioned carefully in his hand-ish and scribbled out the background so it wouldn't be so noisy with the rest of my keys and my hand in the way. I'm...

    What is your unpopular Zelda opinion?

    That's exactly what makes them great for Adventure of Link; you can practice fighting the same enemy long enough to get the attack patterns down so you can get a sense for how and when to dodge, when to do a side slash or downward stab, when to attack from a crouch vs standing, etc. which makes...

    What is your unpopular Zelda opinion?

    when you play a game on either the 3DS or Nintendo Switch online emulators, there are options which allow you to essentially save your game at any frame, meaning that rather than having to go back to the beginning when you die or turn it off, or even back to the start of a dungeon like in later...

    What is your unpopular Zelda opinion?

    Adventure of Link is actually one of the best games in the series if you play it with save states.

    I could be making progress on my all zeldas 100% list. I could be playing something I haven't played before, like Phantom Hourglass or Four Swords. Yet here I am once again replaying Z1, because I have no self control.

    Zelda Things I Mispronounce

    What is your unpopular Zelda opinion?

    ehhh, kind of not really but also not not really. See, what we're engaging in here really comes down to the question of Death of the Author vs Authorial Intent. On the one hand, word of god exists for a reason: authors have intent when they create a piece of media. Sometimes, though, because...

    What is your unpopular Zelda opinion?

    Please present to me a comprehensive list of events, items, references, etc. in the text of LttP and LoZ-- meaning in the information present within the games themselves and their manuals, not any other source like word of the creators or the Hyrule Historia and associated books-- which connect...

    What is your unpopular Zelda opinion?

    Consider the following timeline: -LoZ (link fights ganon with the magical sword) -AoL (Link rescues the First Zelda from her cursed sleep, also no mention of the Master Sword) -[Skyward Sword Prequel stuff happens, i.e. the demon king rises in power, Hylia moves her people to the sky, etc.)...

    817 Korok seeds, four spirit orbs (Great Plateau) but I haven't turned them in, no shrines, towers, or divine beasts completed. My brother commented that I ought to consider offering my services as a route planner for speedrunners doing BotW 100% runs and tbh I'm genuinely considering it.

    Zelda Things I Mispronounce

    I grew up saying "OH carina" not "AW carina" for oot, but I've never met anyone outside my family who says it that way and I'm genuinely not sure which is the correct pronunciation now. Also I always assumed the King from WW's first name was "DAF-nez" but I recently heard someone say it...

    Will Link ever get another animal Transformation in a future Zelda game?

    I suspect we'll get another one sooner or later. It might not be a plot relevant transformation though; I think they're more likely to have a temporary joke transformation crop up first.

    What's Wrong with Me?

    I'm pretty sure that was the point of her character, actually :crylaugh: she's the typical LoZ sidekick, but hot; first in personality, then in looks when her true form is revealed. There's nothing wrong with you, you've just been successfully typed as part of Twilight Princess' target audience.

    What is your unpopular Zelda opinion?

    The first legend of Zelda ought to be the first in the timeline, followed by Adventure of Link (wherein Zelda the First being sent into a magical sleep is what makes her brother declare that every woman of the royal line should be named Zelda), followed after that by Skyward Sword. Link doesn't...

    Did You Like Twilight Princess

    Twilight Princess was the fourth Zelda game I tried, and the first one I loved. It's no longer my absolute favorite because I'm experienced enough as a gamer to like other games' mechanics more, but it's still one of the best games ever made imo.

    Your first Zelda experience

    I think my first Zelda was OoT and I got really frustrated because I kept getting lost in Kokiri village. I was probably 4 or 5 at the time, and my dad refused to help me find my way out TT_TT I kept just going back and getting lost all over again. My second Zelda was Majora's Mask, but my dad...
