See, now that makes it even harder to count. And at the time, Minish Cap wasn't even out yet. I bet now Miyamoto would state that "LA could take place anytime after MC." It really is a free-floating game. If it doesn't have any clear placement with potential to sit anywhere on the timeline, and...

Right. I think the Paper Mario games have come far enough to be their own canon. Almost as if we were to consider Paper Mario as his own person. And sure, Alter, LCT doesn't really matter. It doesn't add any more to the timeline as a whole, but it does add new elements to the TP story. Like it...

Well now, how about Link's Crossbow Training? It could be considered canon. I've always figured it to be Link trying out a new weapon he acquired after TP.

Ok, so I can accept MC, FS, and TLoZ and AoL, but LA is too indirect as of now. Even Miyamoto claimed it could be put anywhere on the timeline. To me, that's as good as saying it doesn't even have to exist.

Well, on the topic of the creators marking games as canon, then the only games that would be considered officially canon would be: FSA, ALttP, OoT, MM, WW, PH, and TP These are the only titles that make direct connections to other Zelda titles; every other game is fan-suggested to be canon, I...

Haha. Yea, well, every rule has exceptions. And here's a link to some of the Zelda mangas. http://www.zelda-infinite.com/files/manga/ I personally never bothered to read them, but from what I gather they're at least halfway decent, and they don't contradict much from the Zelda games, though...

I say: if it's got Nintendo's official seal of approval, it should be canon. The way each piece of the puzzle fits into the big picture is up to you. (Oh, and any game with the suffixes "-Party", "-Kart", or "-and Sonic at the Olympic Games" should be considered non-canon per default.)

Wow, basement, that was simply... beautifully perfect. You nailed just about every question with a well thought out and explained answer. I would add to your reputation right now, but apparently I'd already thought you were amazing not too long ago, and alas I cannot up your rep right now...

I think Captain America is dead for good, now. Lol Comic books tend to be more clear about the canon and the "what-if" scenarios, but Zelda really isn't. Someone needs to interview Shigeru Miyamoto so he discusses each Zelda game individually. And even though you're right, Midna666, I hate how...

I feel the same way. I mean, if Nintendo publishes these mangas, and the stories don't contradict the stories in the games but do nothing more than fill in the blanks, then why aren't they considered canon? It's not like it would hurt the series.

I wasn't asking what is or isn't canon. I know what is and what isn't. I'm asking what makes a game canon; and what you feel about games that "never really happened". (I'm not saying games that didn't take place in Hyrule aren't canon.) Did you even read my whole post? And by the way, MC and FS...

I've always wondered about the term "canon" and what can be described as such, especially when it comes to the Zelda series. So, what makes Zelda games canon? Is it the fans, or is it the creators/writers/developers? Authenticity is obviously a factor; the Zelda CD-i games are not considered...
