Idk what I just read. Where? She didn't do anything like this as far as I remember... The King made up his own mind after Link did the convincing, not Zelda, and the mark of the Triforce of Courage was proof that Link legitimatly time traveled. This is false, they have not confirmed where it...

Yeah TFH is really one of those games where it's so self-contained they could put it almost anywhere and it'd be fine. I just find it funny that they had to clarify it was the same hero as ALBW Link because the game itself isn't so transparent. It's probably an instance of different teams...

Some sort of growth journey maybe? According LA's opening, Link was wanting to be tested and to train in foreign lands, so maybe the Triforce is just sending him off to do just that? Edit: How do we know the triforce mark was a birthmark for Oracle Link? Perhaps he only got it after obtaining...

Oh you linked my frontpage article, lol. I've kind of 180°-ed on my thoughts to a point where idk which is better. I still think the boat ending for the Oracles just fits so well to go into Link's Awakening, but the evidence for the Encyclopedia placement has a lot going for it. I also brought...

I don't think it's bad either, it's pretty cool, just not coupled with Link is Dead.

The five stages of grief theory always worked better under the assumption that Navi died and MM is the emotional journey Link has to take to cope. Link dying and then having to come to terms with his own death never made sense to me, especially because the Hero's Shade, which is confirmed to be...

In ALBW, definitely not, I was just answering Chevy's question.

He was sealed in some "void of the evil realm" in Ocarina of Time. The Twilight Realm is it's own thing and isn't tied to the Sacred Realm. In ALBW he could just be sealed in some new random place I guess.

Interesting, so basically there is room for an interquel game here that explains ALBW's backstory.

I thought they were just retelling the Imprisoning War in ALBW? And I thought Ganon was dead but Yuga used the paintings to resurrect him somehow?

I chalk this up to a formality to players, I don't think it's a calculated plot point that Zelda introduces herself. I think the bigger issue is that with the Encyclopedia's placement the Triforce is united. The collective Triforce calls out to Link, and I think this could only be possible if it...

I'm not sure, honestly. I feel like in an attempt to rationalize it, the possibility of proposing that it's a diverging history where Link dies instead of winning could have happened that early. It could just as easily be a point they tacked on in retrospect later on too, closer to Hyrule...

I would like to think it became a concept with The Wind Waker. Ocarina of Time was always intended as a prequel to A Link to the Past. Majora's Mask was created as a sequel to Ocarina of Time, and so was The Wind Waker. So I feel like by time they made The Wind Waker, they must have realized...

We know he didn't take over the Sacred Realm on the Child Timeline though, he was arrested and sent to be executed at the Aribter's Grounds. I also feel as if OoT and its struggle for the Triforce is an inevitable event, and it does happen on the Child Timeline, it just occurs differently. The...

I've seen this theory before, that the original timeline is the Downfall Timeline, but every attempt to make it work fell short. This one is actually half decent. Idk if I subscribe to it though. Have you ever gone in depth in a thread?

It's probably easier as a fan to just disregard any connections, and I could get that aspect of wanting to not put much thought into the games – ignorance is bliss sometimes. It's the fans that know about the timeline and actively engage in conversations about it, but do so to the end of...

Ah, that's cool, but I typically feel there is a distinction between theorizing and fan fiction. In the case of timeline theorizing though, I suppose you are right that any attempt to make a fan made timeline while an official timeline endorsed by Nintendo exists would be fan fiction.

"Ganon's Ashes" reads to me as a methaporical statement here. It isn't mentioning his literal ashes, it just means in his absence, because he is seemingly dead, a new foe might rise up. So 3 shadows of bosses from A Link to the Past in Link's Awakening is meatier substance than one passage from...

It's true the game began as an effort to port ALttP to the GameBoy, but instead became it's own game. But keep in mind the concept of the plot would have came much later, so to commit to a final form of the game's final boss turning into shadows of A Link to the Past bosses is a story choice and...

Link's Awakening is obviously some type of a sequel to A Link to the Past, not only is a shadow of Agahnim shown, but also Lamola and other bosses from A Link to the Past. This isn't a coincidence.

I've felt similarly for awhile. Prior to Hyrule Historia theorizing was a bit of a chore because most people had their own timeline theories, and usually most other types of theories would end up devolving into people explaining their ideas on the timeline. Having a common timeline to use as a...

It's the references to the Ocarina of Time sages that rule out the Child Timeline because they were never awoken as Sages on it. Adult seems like a stretch to place BotW in, and that's why Downfall fits the best because: Long history of threats from Ganon Zora still exist Rito could have...

Agreed that Geography between the games is always inconsistent and not worth bringing up in timeline debates. I have heard that Breath of the Wild's celestial patterns indicate that the game is taking place in a different hemisphere than OoT, TWW, and TP. I've never paid much attention to a...
