Hey, Zelda Dungeon.
Guess who just finished Skyward Sword? Yup, the Hero of Hyrule. But, I'm somewhat...confused.
Now, I'm confused on a couple things, and I was wondering if I didn't catch something, or if there wasn't any in-game explanation.
The first thing I'm confused on is the Master Sword. I'm sure all of you are confused on this, also. In Ocarina of Time, Rauru said that the Ancient Sages created it....playing through Skyward Sword obviously disproved this. I guess there wouldn't be an in-game explaination for this, because it is what it is. You forged it using Din's, Nayru's, and Farore's Flame to forge the Goddess Sword gradually into the Master Sword. And this brings me to my next point, the Golden Goddesses.
Several times, the gods of old were mentioned. Are these "gods of old" in Skyward Sword what the "Golden Goddesses" are in Ocarina of Time? Or is what the Great Deku Tree, Zelda, and Sheik told you in Ocarina of Time all a myth? Was this ever explained? Or will it be added to the long list of the mystery of The Legend of Zelda series?
Next point, Hylia. Now, obviously Hyrule is named after her, but is she ever mentioned again in the Zelda series? She could've been mentioned in the Minish Cap intro, where it talks of the Hero of Men, and the Light Force hidden inside the Princess of Hyrule. But other than that, I think Hylia, the Goddess in Skyward Sword, in a Skyward Sword exclusive Deity.
Now, I guess this is somewhat confusing to me, but what about Impa? I guess the Impa we got to know in Skyward Sword was not the same Impa in Ocarina of Time, because she suddenly "dissolved".
--EDIT 1--
I want to touch again on the Master Sword. When Link kills Demise, and places the Master Sword in the pedestal in the Sacred Temple, it looks like the Temple of Time (and the layout of the Sacred Temple looks like the Temple of Time in Ocarina of Time, minus a few trees). There's even the Doors of Time there. But, when it zooms in on the Sword, it looks like the Lost Woods from Twilight Princess. The first theory is more logical, but I just wanted to touch upon that.
That brings me to another point I want to touch upon, which is the area known as The Temple of Time in Lanayru Desert. Strange, isn't it? That a whole area is named after a "temple"? Plus, with the knowledge of Ocarina of Time, it makes it even more confusing. But I guess this isn't the first time the Temple of Time has shared it's name with another area that barely has relevence to it (Twilight Princess). I guess the Sacred Temple/Hylia's Temple become a second Temple of Time, and this is the Temple we know from Ocarina of Time.
--EDIT 2--
Now, the main point of conflict in most Zelda games. The Triforce. In most Zelda games, it is believed that the Triforce resides in the Sacred Realm, which later becomes the Dark World when Ganondorf invades it in Ocarina of Time. But, in Skyward Sword, the Triforce is just laying around inside of Sky Keep, and Link has to collect the three pieces individually. Now, when the Great Deku Tree explained the Creation of Hyrule story, he said that the Triforce was were the three Goddesses left Hyrule to return to the distant nebula where they came from. But if your looking at the visuals on-screen, the head upwards, and the Triforce is left there. Skyloft is upwards, and the Triforce is located in Skyloft. Another theory comes to mind about the location of the Triforce. Maybe Skyloft is the Sacred Realm? Who knows? Let's just hope for a Skyward Sword sequel.
I guess this is all I'm confused about for now. If I think of something else that puzzles me about Skyward Sword, I'll be sure to edit this thread. But that's it for now. Feel free to post your confusions, also.
