I think it'd be frickin' awesome if Link dies in TP.

How have I not heard of this movie?

I don't care if you spoiled it, it's still emotional.

haha I am of the opinion that no picture or page whatsoever is safe for work, no boss is going to like to see you surfing instead of working

Theres no need to spoil man on fire though, it was so predictable he was going to die at the end. In fact is almost predictable Link will die too, its an overused plot twist, I'd like to see something else.

Link runs off with teh Ganon into the sunset on Epona, firmly grasping each other's hands.

LMAO

ok, maybe its not that important, a few plot twists like sheik/zelda are fine but the story doesn't really need to be overly complicated, is a Zelda game after all.

Ok, Zelda is destined to die, before your eyes, and there'll be a half-hour cutscene to accompany it with voice acting and fully orchestrated music. BLOL IS THIS FINAL FANTASHEE

Requiem · « **Reply #2335 on:** June 20, 2006, 10:43:56 AM »

What if Link gets trapped in the Twilight Realm and can never escape.

At the end of the game, Link and Gannon start their final epic battle. Soon Link finds out that the only way to defeat Gannon is to kill him while in the Twilight Realm. During the fight, Link and Gannon jump back and forth between realms. Link tries to push Gannon through to the otherside while Gannon tries to kill Link and force him into the real realm. Link decides that he must destroy the gateway that allows passage between the two realms. While in the Twilight realm, he must somehow destroy the portal while as a whole. Once the portal is closed and their is no way for you to go back to the real world, Gannon gets pissed and shows his true might. Since they are in the Twilight Realm, Gannon draws upon the massive twilight energy and becomes more fearsome than any foe the real realm could produce. Luckily, Zelda helps Link out from the real realm and gives him the ability to be normal while in the twilight realm. After he kills Gannon (somehow), he is destined to roam a plagued realm till he faces a horrible death at the hands of one of the many monsters that lurk the realm.

Badass, no?

I don't mind the idea of a melancholy ending, even one where Link dies, as long as it's not like, "Oops, you just wasted 40 hours playing for a glorified game over screen, Ganon wins, Hyrule is doomed".

Zelda dying isn't very realistic considering she would need to be alive to carry on the bloodline that the rest of Zeldas in the series spawn from...

wandering · « **Reply #2338 on:** June 20, 2006, 01:41:23 PM »

I think I'd like a death if you actually had to choose to die. If you know, going in, that winning is impossible without sacrificing your life, the ending could be very...poignant, I guess. But Nintendo would never do that.

I dunno. Zelda's last words: "Link....It's your baby...."

In terms of OoT VS WW Link, WW Link had much more going against him in his game...OoT Link had always been alone, but WW Link's world was turned upside down in an instant when his sister was snatched away from him...Then he had to leave all of his friends to find her...It definitely takes a stronger mind to deal with what WW Link did...

A bit late, but: I'm not sure I agree. WW Link may be more sympathetic, but I think what he had to do was much easier. What was he going to do, not save his sister? Not only is OOT Link more alone (doing things alone is always much harder), but he's going on a quest to fix things that don't directly involve him. I always saw OOT Link's quest as both more difficult and more noble than WW Link's.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #2339 on:** June 20, 2006, 02:00:55 PM »

Then MM tops both of them since Link had to fix things otherwise there'd be nothing left to fix. (MOON CRASH BURN DIE IMPLODE CASTRATE)

On top of that, Link was given the opportunity to improve the quality of life (or death) for many of the NPCs in MM.

Zelda's an old used-up sponge. Let her die. The series never tells you who gets to bang her, so why bother thinking about her bloodline (Tetra's grand-daddy is the Windmill Guy).

Time for a NEW franchise:

The Legend of CAPTAIN FALCON: THE AWESOME ADVENTURE

Professional 666 for president!

Also, there's no way Nintendo would let Link or Zelda die as part of the story. They can do melancholy without that. Heck, Majora's Mask technically had a happy ending, and it (the ending) was still melancholy.

Kenology · « **Reply #2341 on:** June 21, 2006, 11:38:04 AM »

I think Link dyin' in TP would be the most badass ish that could ever happen. Especially if he goes out like Leon, Creasy, or Maximus...

vudu · « **Reply #2342 on:** June 21, 2006, 12:04:36 PM »

Maximus was a pansy. Sparticus would've wiped the floor with him.

Link will not die at the end of TP. However, it's pretty likely that Hyrule will flood.

Kenology · « **Reply #2343 on:** June 21, 2006, 12:22:11 PM »

Maximus was the name of the main character in Gladiator right!?

Also, Zelda: TP = Zelda 11, right!? Or is Nintendo counting Four Swords as a legitimage entry in the series (which I don't think it should).

Requiem · « **Reply #2344 on:** June 21, 2006, 04:43:45 PM »

OH SH!T! You did not!

Calling Maximus a pansy is by far the most stupid thing I heard all week.

Not only was he a general -- he was a general that was betrayed by the prince himself. Sentence to death, Maximus escapes his foes and rides a horse a great distance to return home. Finally reaching his destination he sees his wife and son dead; hanged and burned to death. Distrought by the death of his loved ones, he rides out again, only to collapse in exhaustion.

You know the rest --

I consider it Zelda XII...

Legend of Zelda
Adventure of Link
Link to the Past
Link's Awakening
Ocarina of Time
Oracle of Seasons
Oracle of Ages
Majora's Mask
Wind Waker
Four Swords Adventures
Minish Cap
Twilight Princess

I don't count the original Four Swords because it was multiplayer only...

CD-i

Four Swords Adventure doesn't count in my opinion -- it was just an extension of a GBA multiplayer minigame.

We must never speak of the CD-i travesty.
