Breath of the Wild Why is everyone ignoring the twin peaks?

[Guest-2]

I'm talking about timeline placement. It has been confirmed that the twin peaks in this game are the same as those seen in the promo art for The Legend of Zelda. In every timeline analysis I've seen people ignore this and I don't understand why. I think this adds more evidence to after The Legend of Zelda (or maybe right before) or the infamous joined timeline theory. What are your thoughts?

Because it still doesn't really clear up what timeline it's in?

Sorry but I don't think the twin peaks have anything to do with the timeline, to be honest I think when Nintendo made this game they just looked back at all the old Zelda games and added features to the land that we all recognize

Aren't the "Twin Peaks" known as Spectacle Rock? If so, it appears in a lot of titles regardless of which timeline they're in. Aside from the Legend of Zelda, it also appears in the Adventure of Link, A Link to the Past, The Wind Waker (Spectacle Island), and A Link Between Worlds.

Oh I was under the impression that it was only in Zelda 1. My reasoning behind my statement was that i thought the mountain being only in Zelda 1 (as I thought) granted evidence to this timeline.

That would require a lot of time and erosion for a rock formation like that to just disappear. Granted, we do not actually know how much time occurs between games.

Spectacle Rocks are also in Ocarina of Time:

I stand corrected.

Spectacle Rock has been in plenty of Zelda games spanning all 3 timelines. This just confirms the game is in Hyrule like the other games. You can also see it in the background of the title shot in the trailer.

A similar structure exists on Tal Tal mountain range.

Spectacle rock also appears in Four Swords Adventure and, although not named, is an extremely obvious feature of Death Mountain in Four Swords itself.

To date, the only Hyrulebound Zelda games in which it has not appeared or been clearly visible somewhere are Four Swords and Twilight Princess. Minish Cap has a little baby version and Skyward Sword's is at least visible on the map if not in-game.
