I can't believe my topic has lasted this long!
Anyway, the topic I started arguing about in May was this......
If they were to Kill Ganon off in Wind Waker, he would not have been molded into stone. He would have broken into many pieces, signifying the breaking of his body, signifying his death.
BUT, He didn't. Nintendo chose not to destroy Ganon or the master sword ( It would've broken as well, as its purpose would've been completed ) . Instead, Nintendo chose to basically, chryogenically freeze Ganondorf and the master sword together, creating a bond. We have seen bonds like this before in Zelda games, and they can span multiple games, passing even to the next generation of systems.
This is definetly the case we have here, as Nintendo has 2 storylines to develop.
-The bond of Ganondorf/Master Sword + Hyrule
-Link and Tetra sailing off to a new land(kinda mirrors MM as Link goes off to another dimension)
-The latter plot we will see in Wind Waker 2, with maybe some foreshadowing of the return of Ganon
- On the N5, Hyrule will return in some way as the bond between sword and flesh is broken, somehow... someway.
To sum up, the Zelda of old is not gone, but has been stowed away nicely by nintendo until they see fit to release it.
