So if anyone who is unsure about the the Adult Timeline it is the events that follow the Adult Ending in Ocarina of Time and the proceeding games ---> The Wind Waker-->Phantom Hourglass-->Spirit Tracks
So there was a discussion recently about the most "Satisfying Ending" and to be honest I was tempted to choose TWW as my choice however the ending of TP stole the show for me. However I really think that the ending of TWW was really something special. You had this tragic tale of of Hyrule Kingdom being flooded but civilization was still able to survive and this epic tale of a boy coming of age. The ending was bitter sweet but I think it was really nice subtle ending having Link, Tetra and the rest of the crew searching for a new Hyrule.
To me it was an ending that should have been left alone, an epic tale left with a "what if", did they find New Hyrule? Did they survive the harsh oceans? and so on. To be honest I felt the following games didn't do this ending justice, my opinion isn't just based on the quality on those games but the story. Phantom Hourglass was a near direct sequel, now don't get me wrong it's good that Nintendo are working on continuity but I feel they went about it the wrong way. Then we had Spirit Tracks which showcased very little story but it should have in my opinion, the idea of this being the first game to take place in a new Hyrule.
To be honest in hindsight, I would have hoped that the Adult Timeline would have been left alone but this is only because I thought the follow up games didn't compliment the original tale effectively. This has left me with a sour taste of the Adult Timeline and I feel that it could be abused just to make a fresh Zelda game. In my opinion the potential on this Timeline is there but at the moment I can't help but think negatively on this split. So what do you guys think about the "Adult Timeline"?
