Some of those Wario Land levels have really pretty backgrounds.

Karts -> Bikes -> Trucks
Bikes may seem like an odd in-between, but it has to do with the conditions of the world shifting back into favor of four-wheeled vehicles after an epoch which was more favorable to two. You'll notice that the off-road ruggedness remained during the shift to trucks as a reminder of their dirt bike ancestors.
The dirt bike clearly ties the Mario Kart and Excite series into a single continuity. It also becomes apparent that the Mario Kart series precedes the Excite series.

One thing that bugs me in Firefox versus SeaMonkey is that in the latter I can press ctrl-enter when entering a URL into the adress bar to open it in a new tab, but in Firefox I have to open a new tab manually and then enter the URL there, as far as I can tell. Anyone know if there's a hidden key combo for this in Firefox that I don't know about?

Trucks are obviously an evolved form of dirt bikes. Similar to the Rito and Zora.

« on: June 20, 2008, 11:39:15 PM »But it failed to connect the rest of the serious. I will concede that OOT, MM, and WW have some form of continuity, but Zelda as a whole is still a mythos not a single story.Just because the chronology isn't always explicated doesn't necessarily mean there isn't supposed to be one.
sounds weak to me. But what do I know right.It's essentially what WW implied, regardless of whether you think it's the best way for them to have handled it or not.

WW implies that it's connected to OoT; continuing the story. The Link from OoT was human and died long ago, and WW Link took his place in that game. Ganon is evil incarnate, he's the same guy who keeps trying to come back after being sealed away because he can't simply be killed. That's pretty clearly expressed in WW, as Ganon seems pretty weary from all his previous failed attempts.
It's true that most games haven't hinted much at a spanning continuity, but WW wasn't the first to admit there was no continuity as you claim; it was actually the opposite. It was the first game to attempt to establish a continuity.

It's the same basic premise, but each game is a different instance of a continued struggle, not a retelling of the same instance. Your original argument was that there's no continuity, not that the majority of the games used the same premise of Link stopping Ganon.

Those two pairs of games aren't the only ones which are connected. They're the only ones that star the same Link. The games aren't the same story being retold; WW implied that they were all connected, just with larger periods of time between games than we originally thought.

That has nothing to do with the games linking up into a single continuity...

That's how I remember it, insanolord. And I thought TP was supposed to take place between OoT and WW.
Rat, WW fixed the continuity by indicating that Link was more of an archetype than a single person, giving the continuity a greater scope and allowing the games to exist as a single universe in spite of all the changes.

Yeah, I think part of the AI's stupidity was to compensate for your pathetically slow turning speed.
I didn't think Red Steel was so bad. The gameplay just needed some polish. Also the cutscenes.
