Grunt Issun Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Alright, I'm going to have to explain this to you it looks like. *Pulls out massive black-board* You see Pika, within every time line, only one given action can ever happen, and there is no variation possible, everything plays out linearly. There are then an infinite amount of OTHER time lines, each one playing out the universe with a different action, no matter HOW minuscule, taking place. Therefor, any given thing CAN be considered canon, just not in the timelines we know. We now know that there IS an established timeline where Ganon kills Link, and what events happened afterwards.

burnpsy Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I like [url="http://s12.postimage.org/4883uv48t/zelda_timeline_explained.jpg"]this[/url] explanation, but there are problems with it. Incidentally, all the official timeline that was posted online revealed were the splits, not what caused the splits. People are merely caught trying to explain why.

Phantom Roxas Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I highly doubt that they would consider Link to have failed in Ocarina of Time, although as Black pointed out, that's the only timeline without a Ganondorf. [quote name='burnpsy' timestamp='1324543849' post='5722899'] I like [url="http://s12.postimage.org/4883uv48t/zelda_timeline_explained.jpg"]this[/url] explanation, but there are problems with it.

[/quote] The main problem with that explanation is that timeline 1 and 2 actually are the same, and they don't give a convincing argument for why that isn't the case. They're explanation is that the Sages were able to defeat Ganondorf without Link. If that's the case, why bother putting Link into stasis? What happens when he wakes up? I didn't expect Four Swords to take place before Ocarina of Time. Considering the art style, I was thinking that it could be on the Toon timeline.

Blake Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Also, it's incredibly ironic if Link Dies timeline is actually him dying. See: A. Link Dies -> Ganon gets killed in LttP -> Ganon gets killed in Oracle after being revived -> The shadow based on Ganon is killed in awakening -> Ganon is killed in LoZ -> Ganon is never revived, but loses after possessing Link's Shadow to fight. B. Ganon dies -> Ganondorf dies again in TP -> Ganon dies in FSA C. Ganon dies -> Ganondorf dies again in WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis2 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 It shows that Nintendo wasn't making a new final boss and kept recycling Ganondorf. Just like with Bowser in Mario games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] lrn2skywardsword They did make a new boss that will, presumably, be the final boss in the series, due to [color=white]Ganondorf, and Ganon, being a curse on Link and Zelda, and being a manifestation of his malice. He's a demon lord who made Ganondorf.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 It does make sense when Link pulled the Master Sword and created 2 alternate timelines. After Zelda's intervention, Link lived in a parallel universe where Ganondorf, from 7 years ago, was sealed away to the Twilight Realm. The Future Timeline was a result of Zelda's intervention, which left the future without Link and the timeline before Link pulled the Master Sword was also without Link. However, I think that Nintendo pulled a Mindfreak on us, but I guess that is why I didn't consider LttP and up to be canon with the story, because I only knew 2 timelines (and a 3rd timeline wasn't really found until I found out that Link was living in an alternate timeline in the child past).

Ganon dies -> Ganondorf dies again in TP -> Ganon dies in FSA C. Ganon dies -> Ganondorf dies again in WW [/quote]Technically he doesn't die there. B. Captured by Sages (because they are outside of time and therefore were able to go back in time and capture Ganon) and trapped him in the Twilight Realm, as we saw in TP. C. Ganon is defeated and his soul is trapped inside the Sacred Realm, where he grows more powerful and [s]turns it into the Dark World of LttP [/s] comes back in WW. I still maintain that they should switch WW and LttP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Max Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 NO! Link is a KID in Link to the Past! Sure he is one of the descendants of the Hero of time but he enters the Dark World! Heck Ganon is even a Pig that was twisted by the Powers of the Dark World. Ganon was defeated and Link put the sword back into the Pedestral. All games that feature that sword in the Pedestral is part of the same Story Arc.So Wind Waker is part of the same damn Storyline along with OOT.

Zeal Ascendant Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Ugh, confusing... to be quite honest, I'm not the biggest LoZ fan but this is pretty cool that it finally got revealed. Funny how the cel shaded games and more retro-ish ones are in timelines together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
