Nintendo Gaming / RE:What really happened to Link?
« on: April 08, 2004, 09:28:34 AM »
I already explained it in the "When does it all come together?" thread so I'm just going to repost my post from there.

Huh? Adult Link and Young Link are the same person just at different ages. At the end of OoT Zelda sends Link back in time just like every time Link put the Master Sword back in the pedestal. He then goes in search of Navi and winds up leaving Hyrule when he goes to Terminia. Obviously no one in Hyrule would know where Link went or that he turned back into a child. They would just remember the Hero of Time that defeated Ganon at the end of OoT.

By the way, the ending of OoT created two time periods. One which could be considered Adult Link's since it follows Ganondorf taking over Hyrule and Link defeating him. This would also be the time period in which WW and all the other Zeldas take place except for MM. The other is Young Link's which is where Link was sent at the end of OoT and where MM takes place.

WRONG!

Link left Hyrule when Zelda sent him back in time at the end of OoT and when he went to Terminia. Simple.

Why didn't they just put all these games on one cart and charge $20 for that? Most of these games, while fun, don't have enough content to be worth paying $5 for. I mean, Donkey Kong has only like 5 levels or so, right? I would love to pick up LoZ, SM, and Excite Bike but that's $60 bucks right there. Screw that.

I'm looking to buy my first DVD player and decided to resurrect this thread instead of making a new one. My main question is, are there any brands I should stay away from? I've been reading reviews of different brands at amazon.com, and it seems that just about every brand has a few bad reviews saying the players stop working within like 6 months. Is this something that's actually that common?

Right now I've been considering this Samsung  and this Magnavox. Both have similar features although the Magnavox does seem to offer a little more and is cheaper. Anyone have any suggestions?

Yes, there are lots of connections between the games so it really pisses me off when people try to say otherwise. It just shows that they haven't done any research and don't have any business trying to argue about it in the first place. I also realize that there are plenty of inconsistencies as well, but that doesn't cancel everything else out.

Yeah, it's based on the ALttP sword. Who wants a sword with a purple hilt?

Eh, I just read IGN's and GameSpot's article on this, and it looks like Nintendojo added Zelda into the quote I made in my first post. Bastards.

Yes, I suppose I should be punished for that, but it was the first place I saw it at.

By the way, moving this gave me quite a scare. I thought you had just outright deleted it or something, and I was frantically searching all over the place for it.

EDIT: I also considered the possibility that unkown to me I had traveled back in time to before I posted it.

Clicky

God, I hope this hasn't been posted already.

Anyway, I found this stuff to be quite interesting. I was delighted that EA didn't disclude Nintendo in this since I was half expecting them to only mention Sony and Microsoft.

Ha ha.

Personally, I think most of that stuff is a "you see what you want to see" type thing. I mean, I doubt hardly anyone noticed that stuff until someone pointed it out to them. I know I didn't.

This whole thing is pathetic. Why the hell didn't Nintendo fight this instead of settling? There's no way these retards would have won. Nintendo has warnings all over the place, and what these people are asking for is ridiculous. God this makes me furious.

By the way, I've read that Sony and Microsoft don't even put warnings on anything like Nintendo do. Is this true? If so it just makes this lawsuit even more ludicrous.

Hmm, maybe that's because it's the new Hyrule and hadn't been completely settled till ALttP.

By the way, Jale mentioned that OoT/MM/WW are definitely connected to each other. ALttP is definitely connected to OoT as well. In a Japanese interview with the team that made OoT at Ki no ue no Himitsu kichi they explained the connection between OoT and ALttP.

This time, the story really wasn't an original. We were dealing with the "The Imprisoning War of the Seven Sages" from the SNES edition Zelda. To give that game a little "secret" recognition, I thought that keeping the "pigness" in Ganon would be the correct course. So we made him a beast "with the feeling of a pig."


So you see, OoT's story is based on the Imprisoning War you read about in the ALttP manual.

You can check out a detailed article about the connections between OoT and ALttP at Zeldalegends.net

Yes.

Honestly, I'm as stumped as you are with the Oracle games. The only connections I can see are the ones you listed.

Most likely it takes place after ALttP.

Another little tidbit about Four Swords Plus: it looks like Hyrule Adventure, the mode that plays like Link to the Past but with four players, is bigger than anyone expected. Apparently the world map is even bigger than the one in LttP!


I didn't think of this till today, but does that include both the Light World and Dark World? If they are comparing only the Light World then it wouldn't technically be twice the size of the ALttP map.

Give examples please.

OoT makes it clear that Ganondorf is still alive and he'll find some way out of the Sacred Realm. In WW it's pretty obvious that Ganondorf will be back and that Link and Tetra will find a new Hyrule. By the way, this new Hyrule will more than likely become the Hyrule in the games that follow WW. The endings to LoZ and AoL don't exactly say anything other than Link saved Hyrule and is a hero. MM and LA didn't exactly have a lot to do with the main story line. That's why they're side quests after all. The only one that seems to say, "THE END" is ALttP.

Yes, I put up two time lines. One of them is the one you are talking about.

I personally like to put ALttP last because of the games ending. Things like, "But now that Ganon has been destroyed, his Dark World will surely vanish." and "And the Master Sword sleeps again... Forever!" definitely makes it seem like it should be the last game in the series (LA is a sidequest). Check out the ALttP ending at the Video Game Museum. I'm using the GBA version since there were dialog changes and therefore could be considered more accurate. Those lines aren't really any different in the SNES version anyway.

The only real reason people say that ALttP happens before LoZ and AoL is because the back of the ALttP box says it's a prequel. NOA has been proven wrong repeatedly with this kind of stuff though so I really don't trust them. Not to mention that Miyamoto himself has said that ALttP is at the end.
