Twinrova in "The Hero Is Defeated" Timeline

[iMadMax]

After going throught some of GlitterBerri's Hyrule Historia page translations i noticed something that did not make sense inside the "HERO IS DEFEATED" timeline. You see it says (correct me if im wrong) that Link is defeated during the fianl battle with Ganon in Ocarina of Time. Therefore, Link has awakened all the sages from the Temples of Hyrule which me that in order to do that he had to deafeat Twinrova in the Spirit Temple. However, in Oracle of Seasons/Ages, Twinrova is back all of a sudden and tries to revive Ganon who got defeated in A Link To The Past. How did they come back though? Is there a game between ALttP and OoX that explains how theyre back but it hasnt been created yet? Or did Nintendo not think about all the contradictions while making this official timeline? What do you guys think

yup, this is a blatant contradiction. I used to say that they were different characters, but iirc the Historia claims or implies that they're the same ones. They did surprisingly well with the SW, making it a separate event after OoT (and making up some junk in-between the two events so it fits...), but they couldn't avoid this one. ...unless they hadn't gone and assumed that they're the same characters.

yeah, I noticed that too

I think the funny thing is how nintendo could have keep their timeline and begin more credible with some work, I suppose they did they more too fast

Well Eiji Aonuma has stated that there may be some discrepancies... I know it doesn't help us fans who would like a unified theory but hey, half the fun is sitting here listening to everyone's theories.

Twinrova is a powerful being, what's to say that there cannot be a timeline shift where Twinrova is concerned? I mean Link travels through the timelines himself.

it is a glaring contradiction though, well spotted

ALTTP is before OOX so Ganon would have revived them during that time. They are his parents after all and useful allies.

True true plus don't forget that there is another pair in Termina

ALTTP is before OOX so Ganon would have revived them during that time. They are his parents after all and useful allies.

I like where you're going with this, but really Nintendo? Anyway, I was going to say maybe they're ghosts? /only kidding

 

[Link00105]

Ganon reviving them would make some sense and also their witches so comon, surely they could find a way to revive themselves somehow if they really wanted too and the curse thing makes since with that I guess.

I'm not sure if the direct translation is that he got defeated in the final battle, some people say it was due to the time travel to open the shadow temple.

Death means nothing in Zelda. A villian or monster can easily be revived if someone has enough magic to do so.
