In the game, it states that its been hundreds of years since OoT took place. The timeline will never make sence, at best, a few games here and there will line up.

Yeah, I thought the story for Wind Waker was pretty lame. Sure, it was a really fun game, but I liked the Link from OOT. He was...better than cell shaded Link. Did our Link just die?! I know 100 years is a long time, but Link dead is just an outrage! I know that I'm arguing with my own signature on the bottom, but Link needs to come back. I hope this new Zelda game maked Wind Waker and Four Swords a dream or something because realistic Link is the real hero in this game series, not a little boy who loves magical yellow soup(No offense to the idea of making you stronger of course). I still don't really get Wind Waker's storyline. How could Link be dead, but Zelda be alive? It's been awile since I last played it, but I think that's what King Hyrule said. I just don't get it. They need to clear something up in the next game. Also, I heard that they were saving the next realistic Zelda for the next system, but thank God you're all saying that it's for the Gamecube...I don't know if I could wait until the next system, when will it be...2006 or something?
How many Zelda games have you played? From the sounds of it you've only played OoT and WW. There's about 10 Zelda games in total, and most of these have a different Link and Zelda in them. The OoT Link has only been in two games; OoT and MM.
Having an attachment to a specific Link is retarded too, since they're all about the same. The only real difference is the age and art style with which they are depicted. Link has never even had a personality to speak of in any of the games because you, the player, are supposed to be Link. Also Link has been a little kid in the majority of the Zelda games. In fact one of the reasons I fell in love with the first Zelda game was because the hero was a 10 year old kid. Being about 5 at the time, I thought I it was the greatest thing in the world that the hero wasn't some muscle bound adult. Out of those 10 games, the only ones to have an adult Link are Adventure of Link, OoT, and now the new game coming out. That's 3 out of a 11.
Post by: Berny on June 21, 2004, 04:53:44 PM
But yeah, I like WW's kid link better than every other one so far. Except maybe OniLink but that's just cause his pupils were all not there. ^_^

My main problem with Forte's post is the stupid attitude noobs have that OoT is the first and only Zelda game. It's usually these types that only seem to care about the graphics and what age Link is.
Post by: Shecky on June 21, 2004, 05:53:33 PM
People also get way to hyped about "the different links" and "putting all the games together".
Bah, just use the current story line for the game and use your imagination each time.... Heck, I've wrapped multiple stories around the same game, it's just part of the fun of enjoying *that* game in the series.
All the arguments about this link, that link, this timeline, that timeline, blah, blah, blah

I don't think the Link in WW would be an adult yet. I agree with Bill on they are an adult when they turn 18. I like playing with the younger Links the best. The only reason why I played as the adult in OoT the most was because I enjoyed riding Epona.

I didn't mention WW though.
Bill is being overly technical about the term "adult" though, since people are just trying to separate the two age groups Link is usually in. I mean, you can call him teenage Link, older Link, or whatever you want too, but it basically means the same thing.

Less syllables involved.
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 21, 2004, 08:13:11 PM
But I'd also like to add that I'm also more fond of the younger Links because a young lad saving the world is just much more fantastic than an older person saving the world...Plus it adds to a child's initial reactions to new environments whilst an adult wouldn't be as shocked by different things due to experience...(Funny though that my favorite Zelda is Link's Awakening... :\)
Post by: Gibdo Master on June 21, 2004, 08:34:10 PM
I'm also worried we may not get to see young Link in any more games because of Miyamoto's comments about Link having to grow up. *cough*sell-out*cough*
Post by: Berny on June 22, 2004, 05:14:43 AM
I really like MM. I wish it had been longer, cellshaded, and on the Cube. Or just longer. All those masks....so much fun. ^_^ And I just found out the other day that MM is on the Zelda Collector's Edition disk! I should go play that. I need to beat Zeldas 1 and 2 first though. They're so HARD!
I digress so often...
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 22, 2004, 07:36:01 AM
But I think Miyamoto meant Link has grown up for this game, not for good........Hopefully... ^_^;

Post by: Gibdo Master on June 22, 2004, 09:17:50 AM
There's some confusion about how old Link was in ALttP due to how he was depicted in the art, but notice how Capcom used young Link's voice in the GBA port.
Post by: Jale on June 22, 2004, 10:26:38 AM
Post by: Chode2234 on June 22, 2004, 10:33:38 AM
How old is he supposed to be in the oracle games, to me that is the big link from OOT am I right on that one?
I hope Nintendo didn't change the graphical style for the skeptics, thats all we need is them taking design cues from Xbox and PS2 fanboys that will never in a million years buy the next zelda game, that is unless the Revolution is backwards compatible...

I'm not sure what you mean. They used two different voices for Link in OoT. One was for child Link and the other was for adult Link. Child Link's voice was used in the ALttP port.

I don't feel like getting into a time line debate, but I have to say no. Remember that Zelda turned Link back into a child at the end of OoT and sent him back in time. There's a few other reasons too. Mainly the fact that the Triforce is whole in the Oracle games while it was still split up at the end of OoT. Also Ganon is dead and Twinrova are trying to resurrect. He was clearly still alive at the ending of OoT. Anyway, from the way he looks at the art, I figured his age fell somewhere between young and teenage Link, like maybe 13.
Post by: Bill Aurion on June 22, 2004, 11:05:51 AM
No, the Link is the Oracle games is a completely different Link...And from the art he looks to be around 12...
The best placement for the Oracle games is sometime after LttP...It fits well considering that the triforce is back together at the end of LttP, as is Ganon dead...

And still, it's not that I don't appreciate young Link, as he is a MAJOR portion of the series, but Big Link can do so much more. And, not to mention, he kicks Young Link's ass in Smash Bros. Melee. lol

I don't get this comment. It's true of OoT, but in all the other games young Link can do just as much as teenage Link.

Well, you can ask similar questions of all the Links, so I doubt your questions are ever going to be answered.
