Ancient alien furry twinks.
The zelda series now is about femboys, cross dressing, furries, and reddit style open world slop.
The generations of Ocarina of Time, wind waker, and Twilight Princess represented Link as a medieval fantasy hero, an archetype of valor and courage. The wandering adventuring who saves his land and his woman from danger and evil.
The younger generations seem to relate more to a Link that cross dresses and takes dick up the ass.
Every generation has a Link and Zelda game that represents them it seems.

The historical Baphomet was literally just one of the many things the Knights Templar were accused of secretly worshipping though, and was most likely a corruption of the name "Muhammad" (Mahomet in french). He didn't even start being represented as a goat until some 19th century writer wrote a larp book, It's basically pop culture. Believing that the goat version of Baphomet is a real thing is no different from believing that Cthulu is a real demon worshipped by an actual cult and not just something HP Lovecraft came up with

Because this new race is now not only said to have created Hyrule, which is opposed to what prior games say, but they also fathered the Hylian royal family. It's not just introducing a new race, it's retconning an origin story, and it's not even just that, it's telling you that Zelda is a goat furry.

This is the first time they directly contradicted/retconned the prior two games in such a blatant way. It's not simply revealing new information or recontextualizing it, it's outright contradicting something we got directly shown and told about Hyrule and Zelda. The fact is that they did it to SS and all the games before it, AND to the game's own direct prequel, BOTW. Also, agnostic about the validity of doing it at all, people think this particular twist is retarded and Zelda herself being part-goat is gross.
>>
>>738325732
As opposed to what, 3 new goddesses who were said to have created the Tri Force and all of Hyrule like in Ocarina of time, which retconned the earlier lore of there being only a single creator god? Or when they then introduced Hylia to try and change that original lore into something that fit more with the new lore, and people called THAT a retcon?

The old lore was the Hylian people founded Hyrule and the new lore is they did it with help from sky people, there were 2 total sky people who were then killed/bred out of existence so it barely even matters. It's a novel plot about the founding Hyrule that retcons less than Ocarina of time so I ask you again: Why is that okay but this (which is far less egregious) a problem?
>>
>>738325859
Unironically non-memeingly not even in an "I want to fuck her" way, Mineru not at least trying to find someone to have a kid with makes zero sense. She straight up supports Rauru's attempt to preserve their line but does nothing herself? Bullshit.

>>738325994
>which retconned the earlier lore of there being only a single creator god?
There was no retcon, literally nothing in prior lore gave a background to Hyrule's founding or what created the world. You are extrapolating from a single piece of art in a strategy guide of Link praying to a cross like they intended him to be Christian rather than it being Japs going "uh let's throw in some wacky western religious symbols" they didn't understand.
>Introduced Hylia
This was framed as an elaboration. Hyrule was founded around the triforce originally. Now, the people who founded it came from Skyloft. Is it a retcon? Yes, but it doesn't obviate the old information, just expands on it.
>The new lore is that they did it with the help of sky people
The new lore is that instead of being humans from Skyloft, Hyrule was founded when a local group of unga bunga tribals got fucked by space goat aliens. Zelda isn't special because she has divine blood, but because she's part goat alien. People understandably think this is dumber than the prior lore, and cannot coexist with it like what SS tried to do.

Marketers ensuring that all the femcels who self-insert as Zelda are perpetually doped up need to make sure there’s never again an idea that there’s another girl. A furry-lady sidekick who’s playing off Link the entire game is a problem. Thus Mineru had look weird and never talk.

They still bend themselves into knots to make an OoT -> TP throughline that isn’t “Zelda lost in love” twenty years later, and now there’s infinitely more of them with the wave of nu gamergurls BotW brought in. Not even getting started on the insistence that TP Zelda somehow mattered more than Midna that just amounts to angry REEEEing.

Dude what is with your retarded headcanons? Sonia spent all of TotK talking about how she has magic divine power and was of a notable lineage, she is fucking clearly from the line of Hylia. Her power comes from SS Zelda, and is just one of the many women of that lineage who *aren't* Zelda. All of Zelda's power comes from Hylia in every game, Rauru is just one of many notable men who get married into the line. There have been thousands of different men who marry into the line over the generations between games, whatever traits they offer are clearly small fish compared to the consistent power of the goddess that keeps manifesting.

I swear Zelda loreheads never play their own games and just make up stupid shit to get mad about.

>The name is legend so
Hey anon, we literally SEE and interact with shit in these games. You can't just hard contradict what SS shows us with what TOTK shows us with the excuse of 'legend'. You can contradict spoken information, but not things you do and interact with. On some fundamental level you need to accept that the retcon in TOTK is different than the ones in prior games because the prior games tried to daisy chain off of each other to imply they were sequels/prequels to each other. This is shown with how the new information is always presented as an elaboration, not a replacement. From an out of game perspective they're still retcons, but there's a difference between retconning more information that slots into old information, and retconning information that cannot coexist with prior information. SS told us "This is how Hyrule got founded, and why Zelda is special" in an attempt to explain everything we saw from LoZ to ST, which is why it released with a timeline book. ToTK told us a completely different story that cannot coexist with SS, even as elaboration, which means SS at least, if not the entire prior series, is no longer canon. Whether you think that's good or okay or not, that's the difference between the two.
>Who cares
A lot of people who played the prior games that did try to connect to each other, even if it was messy.
>>738326750

Yeah, I'm not entirely happy with where they're at. One of the most pernicious issues is something keeps messing with her eyes, so the longest journey was just figuring out how to get the eyes generating with some clarity. I think it might be the AI sperging out over some of the relevant tags associated with her like 'tears of the kingdom' and 'third eye closed' which causes it to do weird things with her eyes. Maybe the LoRa's I'm working with have some bad baking too. But I'll keep working at it, I like her character.

Instead of having that fucktard's signpost held upward at every corner of the land maybe Nintendo should have implemented an rebuilding Hyrule city mechanic.
But that would have actually required effort and since they used their six years development time for an empty underground, and empty sky and caves wisely there was simply no way they could have achieved that.

>what did they do to her that has people mad?
It's more what they didn't do with her. There's a lot of contextual evidence in TotK that suggests she was meant to have a larger role that likely got cut through script revisions, and as it stands she's barely even a character in it. People actually liked her character and design so it feels like we got done dirty in the sense we didn't get much to work with. And again AoI didn't sell great and her role in that is only a little expanded despite it being an opportunity to flesh her out a lot more. What we learn about her in that game is basically "Everything I say is right, whenever Rauru doesn't do what I say bad things happen, also I like dancing".

>>738328316

The plot of AOL is literally that Ganon's minions are trying to kill you to revive him because you killed him in the first game. You trying to nitpick details that were explained to us at the time (lesser and greater Hyrule, Impa explaining to you why there's two Zeldas etc.) is just autistically trying to be right about a game that came out before you were even born and you only know about from online arguments.

References aren't the same thing as plot and character connections like the other games. TOTK directly contradicts SS in a way that makes it so they can't coexist, BOTW is more ambiguous but its connection to TOTK puts it in the same boat.

And because of that TP doesn't contradict SS. We just know the rumors that say the Ooca are the original inhabitants of the islands or founded Hyrule are wrong. Meanwhile TOTK contradicts SS by telling us that actually Hyrule was founded by goat people and Zelda's powers are goat magic. This cannot coexist with what SS directly shows us.

That's literally the point of this argument, anon. Someone was claiming that ToTK's retcons aren't different from prior games' retcons and it coexists with the rest of the series, so they don't understand why people dislike it. I've been arguing why its retcons are different and that it does not and cannot coexist with the rest of the series, and that this is part of why people dislike the new goat furry origin story. That's the centerpoint of this entire discussion.

AoI was a massive flop alongside MP4, both failing to even sell 1mil. despite being released during the prime christmas period.

>>
>>738335068
No one cared because AOC, which got a lot of hype on the idea of depicting BOTW's past and the death of the Champions, ended up being a disappointing alt timeline thing with less characters and downgraded mechanics from HW. The bad rep it got from that prevented anyone from trying AOI, the assumption was already that we wouldn't get an interesting plot, depiction of the time period, or good gameplay.
>>
>>738335068

People are also just kind of burned out on the BotK era and AoI ended up feeling really superfluous as a result. And to be fair it kind of is, there's really not much there to justify the game's existence.

Not a problem if they look good. BotW/TotK design is just ass and fucking ugly, Zoras and everything else.
From crossdressing to (bad fetish bait) furshit, and Aonuma openly confessing that he wants Link to be an androgynous fag, these games are just a bunch of the devs thinly veiled fetishes.

But that's one of Fujibayashi's favorite tropes.

And now the Zonai in TOTK.
And oh boy, wait until you find out how much he loves the "giant demon/demon king sealed deep beneath the earth is slowly awakening" trope. He even squeezed that one into Phantom Hourglass (he's credited as a story writer).

If you want to get really technical. There is no reference to a Triforce of Courage in the first game. they only had Power and Wisdom. In fact, the game's logo never shows the symbol of the Triforce as we know it. With 3 triangles stacked like a pyramid. It only shows a single Triforce. Presumable the one of Widsom. Since that's the one you have to assemble through your journey.

The Triforce of Courage is an addition made for the sake of Zelda 2's plot.

>>738341437
The vast majority of Fantasy Literature is the same. Just more verbose. There's always something more ancient and advanced that the kingdom is built on top of. It's honestly kind of tiring.
>>
>>738342142
I think it's weird that it has its origins in the Numenoreans from Tolkien's work, but they were just straight up full-stop the most advanced people that ever existed. The world is in decline during LOTR but it's not like there were tons of hyper-advanced civilizations before it, just a few pretty advanced ones that built up, peaked with Numenor, and then declined.
>>
>>738342959
It has its origin in earlier Greek mythology, where there were multiple ages to the world where the superior men of those times got destroyed by the gods (either Cronus and/or Zeus) for their hubris or some other crime, resulting in our current era (ancient greece) where everything is fallen and men are uglier, weaker, and shorter lived. Atlantis was a further development of this concept, which Numenor is cribbing off of directly. Also interestingly enough Tolkien was concepting the idea of making his setting more directly scifi with the round world cosmology, including making ancient elven technology spaceships instead of magic boats.
>>
>>738343286
Oh I mean yeah, I meant in the modern fantasy context. Tolkien was obviously taking notes from Atlantis with Numenor and I'd be a fucking liar if I suggested otherwise.
>>
>>738333282
>it's kind of the only really notable story element it adds
They kind of had something else going with the innumerable evil spirits inhabiting the underground. That was something dangerous enough that Rauru and Sonia had to go around and spirit-proof the surface with those shrines, and Ganondorf didn't even have anything to do with it. Alas, they never mention it again after like the first 2-3 missions.

My apologies, got busy. Didn't mean to blueball anyone here. I was the anon dumping fanart last weekend in the zelda girls thread on saturday, but regreted doing so after all the shitposting started. I'm using a bulk downloader to grab images from pixiv and twitter and it takes a long time to sort and delete everything, so it's frustrating when it doesn't get any appreciation.

Anyways, here's some Mineru fanart I found deep into artist's galleries. Not sure if these have been posted anywhere yet.

By the official timeline, BOTW and TOTK are part of the same narrative continuity of the other games. Even if we ignore the official timeline (which we should, it's retarded, there are actually at least 3 or 4 zelda continuities), BOTW and TOTK contain references to the events of earlier zelda games and items from those games. In BOTW you could headcanon that the items were not canon (because they were DLC), but they're base game for TOTK.

Irrelevant, references have no bearing on a story.
>>
>>738362183
TP and WW are obviously sequels to OoT. LTTP isn't. Here are the Zelda continuities:

Zelda 1 -> Zelda 2
LTTP -> Oracle Games -> Link's Awakening
Minish Cap -> Four Swords -> Four Swords Adventures
OoT -> MM -> TP
OoT -> WW -> PH -> ST

Then we get
BOTW -> TOTK
Which is a sequel to all of them through some kind of wishy washy timeline merge thing

Skyward Sword could conceivably fit at the start of any of them.

>>738362476

>LTTP isn't
OOT was literally sold as the story of the Imprisoning War mentioned in ALTTP in developer interviews before it came out. You can go back and check.
>Separating ALTTP from LoZ and AoL
Again, ALTTP was advertised and designed as the backstory of Ganon in LoZ, pretending they're not connected is ignoring the entire framing of the game.
>OoT -> MM -> TP
>OoT -> WW -> PH -> ST
These aren't really separate continuities when the entire gimmick here is that they hinge on a time travel event. Sure, they don't interact with each other, but both of them coexist as functions of the timeline splitting at the same event.
>>
>>738363017
>OOT was literally sold as the story of the Imprisoning War mentioned in ALTTP in developer interviews before it came out.
Yeah and then the game actually came out and it fucking wasn't. Obviously some parts of OoT are vaguely inspired by LTTP's tale of the imprisoning war, but there are MAJOR differences that would make continuity not possible. LTTP straight up can't happen if it was only Ganon that was sealed in the sacred realm, and with only a third of the triforce. LTTP's sages had to be Hyilians because their descendants, the maidens, were all Hylians. Also WW already established that when Ganondorf eventually broke out after the events of OoT, there was nobody there to stop him, and the world got flooded.
>Again, ALTTP was advertised and designed as the backstory of Ganon in LoZ,
Except he FUCKING DIES in LTTP. And then every trace of his influence was erased from reality. It was NOA marketing lies.

>if it was only Ganon that was sealed in the sacred realm
Who says? He's the only one who got sealed in the ending of OOT, there's nothing saying other people couldn't end up there before or after.
>LTTPs sages had to be Hylians because their descendants, the maidens, were all Hylians
Setting aside I could buy Link knocking up Ruto, Saria, Naburo, and Impa (in a better world) and there's no info on cross-compatibility, TP handily solved this by having them NOT become the sages in the child timeline. Instead it was some glowy fucks who could be anything. Of course Nintendo ruined this by putting ALTTP in some 'failure' timeline instead of the child timeline, which I vehemently disagree with but regardless.
>WW already established that when Ganondorf eventually broke out after the events of OoT, there was nobody there to stop him
Handled by ALTTP not following the adult timeline.
>And he fucking dies in LTTP
Anon, Ganondorf dying is fucking meaningless. He dies all the time. AoL is literally about his minions trying to revive him after he's killed, and so are the Oracle games ultimately.

There's no point arguing with you retards since you ignore everything
But ok, my argument that everything you said is false, Link is still hero, he's still going around vanquishing evil and saving girls, if you think that zonai are furry then every other non hylian race is a furry too, and for crossdressing, well, you control buttons you press, if link crosdresses it tells more about you than game
>>
>>738363610
>Who says? He's the only one who got sealed in the ending of OOT, there's nothing saying other people couldn't end up there before or after.
Because you go there multiple times and it's empty except for the sages and then Ganondorf at the end. Nobody other than the sages knows about the triforce or the sacred realm at all. Unlike in the imprisoning war, in which many many people fought to try to reach the golden land, with many of them ending up trapped on the other side, who populate the dark world in LTTP. As far as the idea of people going in there AFTER the sacred world was SEALED, I don't think I need to explain why that doesn't make sense. Also, in LTTP, the entire triforce is in there with him, not just the triforce of power.
>Setting aside I could buy Link knocking up Ruto, Saria, Naburo, and Impa
Saria is a fairy forest ghost thing. It's also very unclear if ANY of the sages actually survived other than Zelda.
>TP handily solved this by having them NOT become the sages in the child timeline.
LTTP can't be a sequel to TP either. TP shows that Ganondorf was sealed in the twilight realm when Link went back to warn Zelda in OoT, and he was stuck in there until the events of TP, and then almost immediately got killed. Nintendo had to invent the downfall timeline (which doesn't even conceptually make sense) because LTTP doesn't work in either the adult or child timelines, and they were too stubborn to admit that not all of the zelda games are part of one giant continuity.
>Handled by ALTTP not following the adult timeline.
See above
>AoL is literally about his minions trying to revive him after he's killed, and so are the Oracle games ultimately.
LTTP doesn't describe Ganondorf as some ancient warlord of darkness who game back to life through the efforts of his orphaned magical minions. He was the leader of a tribe of thieves who came out on top in the race to the triforce in the golden land and was sealed in as an emergency measure.
>>
>>738363610
>though where they go is painfully obvious.
Yeah, ALBTW goes after LTTP, and EOW and TFH go into the fucking garbage where they belong
