The Legend of Zelda/WMG/Timeline: Difference between revisions

Finally, Skyward Sword, I'm withdrawing from placing that anywhere until futher information is obtained, a wild guess puts it inbetween FSA and OOT.

 

First Part: SS <-> MC - (FS/FSA) - OoT

Skyward Sword and Minish Cap could be one way around or the other, I'm pending Skyward Sword to confirm whether or not Hyrule has existed as a kingdom prior. Four Sword and Sour Sword Adventure could take place in the meantime, as I consider this Ganon to be different to the one in the other games, the Ocarina of Time splits the timeline apart.

Given that it's an apparent sequel to FS, why should it go four games and many different Links later? Nintendo is screwing with us here.

== Nintendo is trolling/trying to distract us ==

In the initial timeline, the Triforce did not split into three when a pure heart touched it, leading to Ganondorf getting the whole thing, leading to the Link to the Past timeline. Then, during the Triforce Using Monarchy era labeled on the timeline, one of the kings, wanting to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]], decided to make a wish to retroactively add the "splits into three pieces" security measure in an attempt to change history and make the Hero of Time win, thus creating the two other timelines and the events of Ocarina of Time proper.

* It also seems possible that the "split into 3 pieces" clause also happened in that same timeline, which is why the pieces are split in the first two games. Perhaps the king who made that wish was the one from the backstory of ''Adventure of Link'', who did so on account of seeing his son's unbalanced heart.

 

== You created the Failed Link timeline the first time you played Ocarina of Time. ==

But due to the failure of Ghirahim's Dark Interloper plot, he falls back on Plan B: seal himself in the Trident of Power and make sure that, in this form, he can help the eventual incarnation of Demise's hatred attain the height of his magical potential. In fact, Ghirahim may have either created or influenced the development of the Gerudo to make this flow more smoothly. For one, he influenced their culture so that they would wish to isolate themselves from the other inhabitants of Hyrule, making them extra protective of their desert land and all dwelling in it, including the Trident of Power's resting place. Also, he altered their biology so that there would only be one male Gerudo every 100 years, ensuring that, among this pet race of Ghirahim's, there would be a convenient vessel for Demise's curse who would be in a position of sufficient power (King of the Gerudo) to amass an army and be on high-enough diplomatic ground with the Royal Family of Hyrule to manipulate them. Twinrova may have been a colleague of Ghirahim's who made sure all this came to pass.

 

 

Link's very existence split the timeline to begin with.

I've heard people complaining that [[A Lttp]] is supposed to be first in the Adult!Timeline, followed by LA and the rest of the games in that timeline, and that the whole split into three timelines is BS. I think I've figured out why Lttp is the first in the Fail!Timeline and why that timeline exists. First, imagine that the Fail!Timeline is inbetween the Child!Timeline and the Adult!Timeline. Now then, in [[Oo T]] Link dissapears for 7 years, and people would assume that he was "defeated" by Gannon because of that. When Link returns, he causes the timeline to split into the Adult! and Fail! timelines. Everyone knows what happens in the Adult! one, but what if Link didn't return? Then someone else, i.e. Sheik, would have to step in and take care of everything. Of course, Gannon wouldn't be done-in like he was in the end of [[Oo T]] (since you need the Master Sword to do that), so he would still have power and attempt to return to the normal realm in [[A Ltt P]].

 

The timeline split, reformation, and even the styles of certain games can be reconciled if you think of Hyrule's history in terms of its cosmology. In essence, the whole process could be seen as an "argument" between the three Goddesses, influencing the timeline from a vantage point outside of it. Now, it's easy to say that each of the three timelines represents one of the Goddesses, but I think it's a bit more complicated than that. Rather, the events are a result of a disagreement as to whether or not the timeline should be split at all.
