I never knew this was Link. Why does he become this?
>>747595229People tend to turn into skeletons when the die.
>>747595308Why would that matter, you encounter him in the spirit realm.
>>747595349So a realm full of dead people?
>>747595229Died full of regret because no one ever remembered him and his heroic deeds. He got sent back into time at the end of Ocarina of Time so he pretty much lost all of his fame. Also got ditched by Navi and never saw her again.
>>747595229What no princess pussy does to a mfer
>>747595229>>747595308you could say his bones linked up together in the after life.
>>747595229>Used by the state to fight a battle that proved to be pointless, stole his life and innocence, and ultimately merely bought time for the state to commit more injustice that his hands are technically dirty fromYeah, that makes a person feel pretty fuckin hollow
>>747595229The fate of every incel
>>747595229in the game the reveal is a bit vague, but in the manga they just say and show that he is the same Link as OoT
>>747595229He went into the Lost Woods in Ocarina of Time. Only Kokiri can set foot there without turning into Stalfos.
>>747595308Spooky. Calm down, it's not Halloween yet.
>>747595621It's pretty heavily implied he married Malon and TP Link is his descendant. Also he's a volcel at worst since Zelda was practically begging him to stay in the flashback in MM, and that was after he was sent back in time and no one knew him.
>>747595769I love how assblasted Ganondorf is at seeing Time again.
>>747595229He clung to the fame that was denied to him and was sad because no one wanted to learn his cool technique where he smacks people with his shield. It was just too advanced and difficult for anyone in his time to master, you see.
>>747595840>malon wonBased based based
>>747595229He isn't, it was just a fan-theory that Nintendo latched onto years after the fact.
can china even play zelda?what do they change stalfos to
>>747595840This is not implied at all
>>747595769TP Zelda's reaction to him was kind of weird in the manga. Was there even a connection between those 2?
OOT Ghost Link will definitely have voice lines in Twilight Princess Remake
>>747596041Only the Royal Family knew of his deeds. So while to the rest of the world, the Hero of Time was never known, his story was likely passed down through the generations of the Royal Family. Which means from Zelda's perspective, it's like meeting a celebrity that your entire family owes an eternal debt to.
>>747595229He was the most powerful warrior on the planet in an era where there was basically no way to prove himself. He already beat Ganon. If he had a family, either his kids couldn't inherit his skills or they didn't want to. Maybe he didn't have one, though. He had no recognition or legacy. The New Link is the only way for him to get any, at least by proxy.
>>747596179Mah boi, true heroes do not wish for fame or glory.
Threadly reminder that Zelda ruined OOT Link's life by forcing him to go back in time.
Will we ever get another TP?
>>747595229This happens in the timeline where Link returned to his child self after defeating Ganondorf in the future and alerted the kingdom about what would happen in the future.He succeded, but no one knows his feats or what he did during Ocarina of Time. He died with regrets, one of them being not passing down his skills to someone.
>>747595229>>747595769Skeletons.... STRONG!?
>>747596249I mean it was either that or take away 7 years of his life
>>747596249Why? He got to live his youth. That isn't what turned him into a monster.
>>747595229
>>747595784Post labor day has been annexed by spooky month. This is to make up for losses to Christmas in the ongoing war on Halloween.
>>747596324I like to think that everyone just thought his techniques were kinda dumb so they all just said "Uhh, yeah, no thanks" kinda awkwardly.
Why is the Hero of Time the only Link that gets completely fucked over after saving the world?
>>747596249This. She also fucked over Hyrule since no one was around to stop Ganondorf when he returned.
>>747596379He was a hero and a peerless swordsman in an era that had no need for either
>>747596417What the FUCK is her problem?
>>747596476Because he is literally me
>>747596378He had a harem that all wanted to sexo him. Link was robbed. I'd be mad too.
>>747595229>I... am forgotten...
>>747596417>Nintendo had this planned from the start
>>747595229When you nut but she keep on suckin in Hyrule your soul is sucked out of your body and you become a stalfos. Link never stood a chance
>>747596249>>747596484>>747596557I thought Zelda was supposed to have the triforce of WISDOM. Why was she so dumb?
>>747595229What no Navi does to a motherfucker
>>747596476That is the price he had to pay for having a harem on earth at the age of 10
>>747595229That's such a cool design. I've never played a Nintendo game other than Duck Hunt and one of the early Mario games, so from the outside looking in, this design almost doesn't look like it belongs in a Nintendo game. Everything else looks so child friendly, except maybe a few of the enemies like the zombie things, but those designs aren't that cool.
I recently finished OoT for the first time on the N64 and it's one of the darkest endings out there, well the whole game is sad. >Link has lifelong friend/motherly role>awakens as a sage basically dies lol >Link becomes a friend of a new character>awakens as a sage basically dies lol >repet several times>is a child>sleeps for 7 years because Zelda did an oopsie>wakes up as a young adult with a mind of a child>nobody remembers him in the future>saves the world >goes back in time and nobody remembers his actions in the past lol only good ending for Link would have been ego death lol
>>747596484At the time, there was no reason to believe that Ganondorf would return.
>>747596324I know that heroes do not need glory or anything like that but it I understand why he would be frustrated if no one remembers him. He saw horrors and wasted his childhood when he could have had a good and normal life.
>Link loved Navi enough to spend the rest of his life tracking her down>Navi ditches Link the second she doesn't need him anymore and never contacts him againDid they mean for Navi to come off as a complete bitch?
OoT Link is the most pathetic Link.
>>747596754The world always needs a hero. If not Ganondorf, evil would've reappeared someday. Zelda should've known better.
>>747596532I hope they make her even creepier in the remake lol
>>747596179He canonically had kids and made it into older age before he died. I like to think Link knew he was at death's door and went back to visit Kokiri village one last time then decided on becoming an immortal spirit to help his descendants in the future
>>747596754Yet somehow...
OOT Link and TP Link are the only Link's who are directly connected biologically. They are also both the most masculine Link's when based on the og version of OOT not the remake.
>>747596821He's not a real Kokiri. When they finished their adventure, her debt to the Great Deku Tree was paid. There was no reason for her to remain so she left and most likely died.
>>747596821She never even said goodbye. Just left without notice.
>>747596857At the time, there was no reason to believe that the Hero's spirit would keep migrating to the next incarnation.
>>747596821Fairies disappear after they serve their purpose.
>>747596741In the future he is celebrated as the hero of time and instead of being put on a pedastel he went back in time, got his childhood, then went to go fuck horse girl pussy and live out his days in peace until he had some shitty stalfos related death
>tfw the gods had to flood Hyrule to stop Ganondorf because Link fucked off and never returnedGrim.
>>747596041I'd imagine seeing the long dead forest orphan who saved your great great grandma's ass then vanished would be pretty shocking. OoT link is like the doom guy in new the doom, theres been multiple doom guys right, but hes the biggest nigger of them all.
>>747595229He got lost in the kokiri forest trying to find navi after she leaves him at the end of OOT, from there one of two things happen, either the events of majoras mask are real and canon, and he was temporarily transported to another realm to help them, or thay whole game was him coming to terms with stuff and hallucinating as he died alone deep in the forest, either way when he inevitably reaches the end of his life, either in that forest or of old age or in battle or something, he becomes a stalfos due to the kokiri forests curse. My guess for the armor and weapon is he likely served as a soldier in his adult years so his skills could be put to some use, and was likely buried with them, im not a big fan of the whole "majoras mask wasnt actually real" theory after all, so im a bit biased.
>>747597067Was this stated in the game?
>>747596741Well, if anything, only the adult timeline is when Link is remembered. If I am not wrong children wear similar clothes like his as a way to honor him.
>>747596249Is OOT Zelda the most stupid Zelda in the franchise?
>>747597093The same people that celebrated him in the future probably started resenting him when their prayers for him to return and save them again were never answered. How is that supposed to be a good ending?
>>747596821
>>747597182Contender. Not sure about CDi Zelda.
>>747597150Majora's Mask was real he just never died , hero of time just had to go travel the multiverse to prove he could be a chad in any universe he found himself in
>>747596476Aonuma sabotage
>>747597067There was a theory (?) where fairies die.If yes, then I guess Navi did not want Link to see her death.
>>747597182No, she was the smartest. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have Wind Waker. Thank you, Zelda.
>>747597247That's what I believe as well, he likely wandered around doing his heroing thing and died at some point while doing that or eventually of old age, I believe at that point is when he becomes spooky scary skellyman.
You have to sing the songs from OOT and MM to summon him in TP
>>747597326>hyrule got destroyed because of ZeldaBased based based!
>>747596920Manga outright states this isn’t true. It’s an anomaly and obviously not the case
>>747596041in the manga at least the triforce of wisdom gives the holder all of the memories of the previous holders, so her situation is basically the same as ganons, seeing this dead man they used to know "alive" again
>>747597209>probably started resenting him when their prayers for him to return and save them again were never answeredAccording to the weird official branching Zelda timeline Hyrule was at peace for 100 years before Twilight Princess and hundreds for Wind Waker before the flood
>>747596920>OOT Link and TP Link are the only Link's who are directly connected biologically.I thought the Toon Links, at least most of them (really just sans Minish Cap) were all some kind of descendants from each other. I don't think they were ALL the same.
>>747597114The gods let Link return to his time
>>747596821Navi is dead. She disappeared to spare him the suffering of watching her die.
>>747597114But thats also the timeline where Dorf died for good. 5d chess move.
>Adult Link goes back in time >Ganondorf breaks out and attacks the world>No Hero of Time to save them so the people pray desperately >The Gods answer their prays and FLOODS THE ENTIRE WORLD TO DROWN EVERYBODYWind Waker is the most fucked up Zelda imo
>>747595840implied fucking how
>>747597456We will find out in Majora Mask Remake
>>747596136Zelda got the memories of OoT Zelda when she got her triforce, so for her it was like meeting an old friend/lover.
>>747597456Could've at least given him a heads up so he wouldn't waste his life looking for her.
>>747597370The only thing that matters is my enjoyment. Hyrule's suffering is a necessary component of that. If Hyrule didn't suffer, we wouldn't have OoT.
>>747595229he made a spelling mistake on a long, detailed, and nuanced post
Man, after reading this thread, OOT and Majora's Mask's ending seems even more depressing.
>>747596821Navi would only leave Link if she was going to die or disappear against her willIf her purpose was done and she could return to the Deku tree, she would tell Link that so he could visit her
Ignore all opinions from the shipper faggots. Link died alone. He wouldn’t have turned into a seething retarded edgy ghost for 500 years if he died happy with children.
>>747597573it's not exactly said how old he was when he died, maybe he lived a long life
>>747597516>Majora's Mask remakeWould Aonuma do such a thing, again?
So what would've changed if Zelda just let Link stay an adult and didn't fuck with the timeline?
>>747597512TP Link is a descendant of OOT Link TP Link is a farmer like Malon he knows Epona song and i believe Hyrule Encyclopedia confirms that Ordon was created by Malon family
>>747597573While I love a strong hero, Link being a child forced to grow up before his time, and then having to handle those adult experiences as a child again, has so much potential for story telling it's kinda maddening.
>>747597573I think MM's ending is pretty optimistic. Link learns how to deal with the grief of losing Navi and returns to Hyrule to live out his days and start at family. The regrets he had when he died are implied to being unable to teach any of his skills to anyone which doesn't mean he died alone or anything. Maybe he had a peaceful life and there was never any need
>>747597694No he isn’t. Kill your self shipper faggot
>>747597624Maybe his kids were just retarded and couldn't learn sword skills. I'd turn into a seething skeleton too if my kids were utter disappointments.
>>747597671>AAAAAH I NEED MORE EYEBALLS! MORE EYEBALLS NOW!!!! EVERY ENEMY GETS AN EYEBALL! EVERY NPC TOO!!!!! GIVE SKULL KID AND MAJORA EYEBALLS!!!!!!
i would love to play as a skeleton Link
>>747597624When was he seething, retarded and edgy?
>>747597721He died with regrets. He's the only known Link to have held such intense regrets that his spirit persisted for a hundred years. He was chained down by his weakness as a human being.
>>747597721>peaceful life>dude has one eye and wearing battle armor for the rest of his days as a seething ghostKill yourself
Good. Everyone knows that NES Link is the true main Link of the series.
>>747597721I thought the ending implied that he resumed his search for Navi. Didn't really seem like he had given up on her.
>>747597456>She disappeared to spare him the suffering of watching her die.link touched her
>>747597742All of that is in TP you played it right?
Was the land of Termina even real? The only thing supporting it is, is Skull Kid saying he was friends with the Giants before he met Majora
>>747597721>Link gets over losing Navi by losing even more friendsGrim
the saddest part of the zelda fanbase is that the manga felt the need to have to spell it out for giga autistic shipper faggots that their delusions are simply that. cope and seethe
Link should've stayed in Termina. At least he made new friends there that actually remembered his heroic deeds.
>Singing the song of healing to the one person who needs it the mosthttps://youtu.be/KhT34mHnCOk?si=9_IjIcnh0SZjZlN6
Why do people even ask for a third Hero of Time game? Theres no reason to.If you want to know if he found Navi or not (he didn't) then just have Nintendo make a one shot manga or some shit
>>747597971I always liked how Young Link in OoT was treated by a child by everyone, but in MM majority of NPCs treat him like equals because of how he carries himself now.
>>747595229Don't think too hard about it, nintendo didn't either
>>747597923Yeah. As far as we've known, none of the Links have been related by blood until now. Even if a Link reproduced, it looks like the mechanism of the hero prevents the hero from being born from a single bloodline.This means that although all Links are spiritually related, they're not related by blood. This mechanism was probably put in place by Hylia because she REALLY wanted the Links and Zeldas to fuck, and didn't want inbreeding.
>>747597676TP timeline gets the flood.
Tatl > any other sidekick in the series
>"Fairies die after their duties are fulfilled!">Tatl and Tail stuck around with Skull Kid just because they were friendsExplain that one.
>child link goes through all sorts of horrors but manages to save the world>gets sent back in time to a world where his accomplishments never happened>end up in MM looking for Navi>saves the alternate world but again ends up back in his current world where no one knows he saved the day again beyond the happy mask Salesmaneventually joins royal guard but has no one to pass all his sword skills ontoman just wanted to be appreciated for his hard work. Funny in a way Revali would get along with OOT link compared to BOTW link when you think about it.
>tfw I covet the wind
>>747598125Their duties are to be Skull Boy's lifelong friends, duh. Next question please.
>>747598125being a friend is their duty
>>747598116No. She was really mean and bitchy to Link the whole game.
>>747598187Almost feel bad for him until you remember all the psycho shit he did in OOT
>>747596821Isn't the thing that once a fairies mission is done they die?
>>747598263exactly, she was the only one with a fucking personalityher enemy descriptions are funny and she acts all tsundere

Why do women now pretend to like Zelda and actually believe they are Zelda?
>>747598195>>747598248Or maybe the whole "fairies die when they accomplish their goal" is bullshit and Navi's just a bitch
>>747598316You're just saying that because you wanted to have sex with her.
>>747598125Tatl and Tail's duties are to be Skull Kid's friends forever Navi's duty was to just help guide Link through his adventure to save Hyrule
>>747597923>saying he sees link like a son means he never ever ever ever had a family everjust a stark reminder that not a single intelligent person would ever say "cope and seethe" in current year
>>747598293No, that was only ever a fan theory
>>747598324>saves the world>gets rewarded by being completely fucked overWhat did Nintendo mean by this? What's the moral of this story?
>>747598324TP link doesn't get together with zelda does he? he's too busy pining after midna and she's too busy pining after oot link
>>747598293I doubt they die but they do disappear
>>747595229>Why does he become this?went through puberty in 10 seconds
>>747598316>Midna>no personality
>Q: Does Link have a girlfriend?>Miyamoto: If it was Princess Zelda, it would be great. However, this time Navie [the fairy] is jealous of Zelda. So within the story, Navie feels something for Link.
Midna won TP Link.TP Zelda won the Hero of Time.
>>747598492You know damn well Link hit that shit the second Midna broke the mirror, that was her way of saying "You'll never get this pussy so just forget about me"
>>747598505i said sidekickMidna is essentially the protagonist of TP
>>747598492>he's too busy pining after midnaAnd look how that ended
>Link died with so much regret that he became Mr. Skeltal>Also he had a happy life with Malon and smashed so hard that they made a whole village>All of this within 100 yearsDo shipperniggers really?
>>747598324>TOTK goes out of its way for a deus ex machina ass pull to give Link a happy ending>OOT goes out of its way to fuck over LinkWhat did Nintendo mean by this
>>747598534What a weird headcanon since it's never even implied in game that Navi is jealousMaybe he'll put it in the remake?
>>747598570Link hit that shit from the back.
>>747598639>What a weird headcanon since it's never even implied in game that Navi is jealous>Maybe he'll put it in the remake?It's included in the OOT Manga, just like all the other cut content due to hardware limitations and time constraints
>>747598591No see, Link was so devastated that he only had Malon to fuck that he regretted his life every time he nutted inside her and only viewed it as business
>>747596476Two thingsOne, the "poetic" end of sending him back to live his childhood is LITERALLY boomer hallucinations that being a kid was better, with zero thought as to the hell that putting an adult, who has been through sone shit, into a child's body is super super fucked up. The subsequent release of Navi, which internally is supposed to mean he's free of responsibility and can live his life freely, which more functionally means the one person who MIGHT understand what he has actually been through just abandoned him the second the job was contractually over, is a similar fumbling of a quaint note, into something absolutely horrible to happen to a person. Somehow, the people who wrote this didn't realize how badly Link was getting fucked at the end of OoT, leaving the game on a very sour note. Second, a bit of sabotage and spite. Like many creators, Aonuma grew to resent the thing he made in the past that everyone liked more than what he made later. When people turned their nose up at Wind Waker for not being OoT 3, that put a scar on his heart, that manifested as torment of the character representing that work. Which, combined with how carelessly OoT Link was assigned a terrible fate, was not difficult to do.
>>747597996>00t re:re is so successful that they not only greenlight a MM remake>they make a completely new game as well to complete the trilogy
>>747598187Is that mother fucking Lord Paragon? I guess he and Ganon do have some similarities like having a harem of women.
>>747598721I should really read the OoT and TP mangas. I only ever checked out the MM one
>>747598602The better the game, the worse Link gets treated
>>747598657OOT Link had the biggest potential harem and he missed out on every chance due to his situation robbing him of 7 years. Maybe he hooked up with Malon or something
>>747598769>OOT Link had the biggest potential haremThats Hyrule Warrior Link tho
The Lolicon of Time
>>747598293>>747598493Navi is Link waifu if my waifu left me i would search for her to the end of the world
Which Zelda games are worth playing?Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess?Breath of the Wild doesn't interest me at all.
>>747598602WW had an older and wiser Dorf get worked by two kids. Stop forcing yourself to get mad.
>arguing realistic lore in a setting where the entire global population is less than 50 "people"
>>747598739Anon, he was only an adult for like a month or whatever.
Now that the OOT Remake is confirmed to be adding scenes from the manga, what do you guys hope makes it in?
>>747598881WW Dorf had every reason not to hold back, he was robbed
>OoT Link returns from MM>Ruto doesn't want him because he never made her wet by saving her >He's not allowed back into Kokiri Forest because he's not a real Kokiri so Saria is out >Zelda is married off to a royal prince from somewhere else so nope>Nabooru only rapes men and OoT Link is a boy >Link literally has no other choice but to marry the ugly farm girlI'd be full of regrets too if I missed out on Ruto fish pussy
>>747598960They better include the scene where Ruto rapes Link.
>>747595769The TP manga reignited my desire for an Old Link game
>>747598960Probably nothing from the manga.
>>747599027The TP manga is so good that it almost makes playing the game worthless. The game is dog shit and awful in every way.
>link talks in the manga>doesn't talk at all in the gamesExplain this.
>>747598989I'd be mad as fuck too if this happenedThe King literally pulled some "UM ACTUALLY I'M HERE TOO!!!!" bullshit when he was about to win
>>747599027I want whatever the fuck was going on in the BOTW concept art
>lorefag threadgod, the flood can't come soon enough
THE LOLI PROTECTOR
>>747599163No, that's too scary
>>747599010I pity this Link. He did what he could to save the world but his life is fucked.
Ummm sorry Link but I'm a princess and you're just a...er....yeah...
>>747599173It already came. Wind Waker Link can attest that.
>>747596821Miyamoto confirmed that Navi is in love with Link and that she is jealous of Zelda there is nothing better than fairy pussy unlike the other girls Navi was always with Link 24 hours a day
>>747599010MM Link came back from Termina. He was still 9 years old. But Zelda had aged considerably. The flow of time eluded him. The rest is history.
I liked when you talk to that one thief and he asks to see your sword, and if you say yes, Tatl just goes completely wild and starts attacking him.
>>747599189Good. The N64 games (TP to a lesser extent) had spooky stuff, add it back
>the real based ending
>>747595769Now we just need the wind waker manga with OoT Zelda confronting Ganon
>Link ended up just like this
What never made sense to me is that when Zelda sends Link back in time at the end she sends him to the point right before he pulls the master sword so at that point the 3 child dungeons has taken place and the door of time is open and Ganondorf had already attacked the castle and Zelda and Impa had gone into hiding so then it makes no sense how Link goes to meet her in the courtyard
Link should have massive badonkers.
>>747599406You are thinking way too hard about things. In fact, Nintendo didn't even think of the plot holes.
>>747598864playing Majora's Mask is as good as it getsi know the game gets glazed to hell and back nowadays but it's the most interesting the series ever got when it comes to puzzles and side contentZelda not being in the story at all bar one cutscene also helped
>>747595229Was it not clear?EVERYBODYSTALFOS
link should fuck off and so should nint*ddlers still obsessed with this 40 year old kids game about a child wearing a skirt and spandex
>>747599457>Zelda not being in the story at all bar one cutscene also helpedShe had the best scene in the game.
>people keep saying he married MalonNope, she got raped by the new Ranch keepers Link had to settle down with the fucking Cucoo Lady
>>747599351OOT and Majora's Mask had some weirdly disturbing things in it. Wonder if the new artstyle of the remake will make it more or less creepy.
>>747595769>but in the manga they just say and show that he is the same Link as OoTIs that page supposed to be proof?
>>747599406Ganondorf is not there anymore, even when he goes back, he is essentially removed from the timeline
>>747599497>Link had to settle down with the fucking Cucoo LadyThis but unironically.
>>747599485I wonder how long Link stayed in Hyrule before he went to MM
>>747599406It makes more sense if you consider the past and the future as places rather than a linear timeline.Basically the fact that Link already stopped Ganon in the future means that timeline where he attacked Hyrule is already safe so even when he creates a split timeline, the old timeline is still ok and continues existing alongside the new one.No, it doesn’t make sense.
>>747596730how is that even possible? your post makes you sound 80 years old, but even then I'd think you had to have played Donkey Kong in an arcade at least. Do you live in Siberia or something?
>>747599497This. Ingo is Malon's canon husband.
>>747599485how did those prayers work bitchi turned into a fucking skellington
>>747599556Long enough that he looks older and he can use the Hero's weapons as a child.
>>747599406>>747599430No, the final time Link is sent back it's to before he first met Zelda. The point of the final scene is that it matches their first meeting, because it is their first meeting. No, it's not shown how he got out of the sealed part of the Temple of Time, but he does have the teleport songs.
>>747598467Doing what's right isn't always easy.
>>747599625>>747599406>>747599557You guys returned as a child? WTF. Not in my game.
Hey Link, wouldn't it be funny if all the fish turned into birds?
>>747599625>No, it's not shown how he got out of the sealed part of the Temple of TimeThe door is literally open. He just walks out
>>747597923>non-canon manga babble made by a spinster granny
REMINDER SARIA GETS HER PUSSY FILLED BY MIDO'S CUM AND COCK EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY YOU STALFOS LOSERS LMAOOOOOGET FUCKED DORKS
>link became a skeleton because he never got to pass on his skillsSo he died a sexless virgin? If he had kids, then he could've taught them his skills.
>>747599709>World floods>only one single Goron is shown in the entire game>and as a cruel twist of fate he's forced to be a mailman
>>747599751The Kensuke of Zelda.
>>747599721Better than fanfic shipper copes peddled by /v/.
>>747599751I don’t even think any of them know what sex is. Except the rock guy, he fucks his rock wife daily.
Link should have chosen the Kokiri girl to be happy by the way did the Sages die or not? we will we find out about that in the remake?
>>747599721>my tranny headcanon is better than the god tier mangathe hubris of a /v/ shiptranny never ceases to amaze me.
Why didn't Zelda give Link a job?
>>747595229We need a spiritual successor to MM/TP dark zelda with sequences where you play as this guy, either by switching to the mirrored underworld or project your spirit to the apocalyptic future.
>>747599891anyone that's even remotely close to Zelda and Link gets absolutely fucked in some way or another
I have an entire folder dedicated to dark/depressing OOT ends. That's why OOT/MM is the best game ever made.
>>747599714Then they just didn't bother explaining that. It's still before their first meeting though. Another proof of that is this Majora's Mask scene >>747599485 where Zelda gives him the Ocarina of Time, meaning she still had it and hadn't fled the castle and given it to Link.Link keeps the Triforce when he goes back as well (with the result that Zelda and Ganondorf also get their pieces without knowing it) so you can explain the missing door with that if you want. No Triforce, no door guarding it.
Punished Link with one eye
>>747595445So..he was a cuck?
>>747600089OOT Zelda lost is Canon TP confirms that
>>747599891Pretty sure they all die - most of them are last seen or heard from when they're heading alone to fight the boss and are nowhere to be seen once you get there.
>>747600303>OOT Zelda lost is CanonYes and that's why it's the best Zelda/Link pairing ever. I LOVE TRAGEDY. I LOVE TRAGIC ROMANCE. I LOVE DEATH AND UNHAPPINESS. so based.
>>747600325There's literally a cutscene at the end of OOT that shows them all alive and well, anon.
>>747600103OOT Zelda is a Japanese Princess the Japanese dub confirms it
>>747600409>There's literally a cutscene at the end of OOT that shows them all alive and well, anon.Lol watch that shit again nigga they vanish and appear like ghosts
>>747598492>she's too busy pining after oot linkWhy the fuck would she be pining after him?
>>747600409You mean the cutscene where they're shown as glowing orbs of light flying across Hyrule? That's one of the main clues they're NOT alive my dude. If they were alive they'd join the celebrations. They're all spirits now.
>>747600498When the Triforce of Wisdom activates she basically becomes OOT Zelda. She gains all of OOT Zelda's memories, and therefore her pining love for the Hero of Time. It's so fucking deliciously tragic YUMMMMM I LOVE TRAGEDY.
>>747599950She did As the farmer
>>747600471>>747600534They're sages. They have sage powers. Saria and Ruto even both say that they aren't allowed to be around normal people anymore because of their sage duties.
>>747600103Oh yeah reminder Link just straight up dies in one of the timelines during OoT's adventure
;_______;
>>747596476moral of the story is to do nothing and never save anything or anyone
>>747600693what happens to him? just dissapears?
>>747599027if he has that design, hell yeah.
>>747600751
>>747600643They don't say they're not allowed, they say they CAN'T. And lest you forget, Zelda is also a sage but she returned to normal life.The game doesn't 100% confirm anything but the implication is pretty clear. The strongest evidence is probably when you see Darunia enter the room where the Goron-eating dragon is, and then you enter yourself later and he's not there.
>>747600794>>747600693man just seeing this fucking cool ass skeleton Linkn makes me want to play as him
>Here's your new permanent shield btw broMajora's Mask was just an entire game fucking with Link
>>747600876Read the manga. It's 100x better than the videogame. Actually never play the videogame ever again, the manga is canon.
>>747600675>Link fucks up and dies.>This leads to an eventual Hyrule golden age.>It also leads to an era of great decline after that golden age where magic and legend begins to wane. Downfall timeline is the best timeline.
Too much gooning.
>this page
>>747600938No amount of shilling will get me to read your gay non-canon manga, fag.
>>747601046kill yourself tranny. we love edgy dark stuff on /v/. go to tumblr.
MM is such a beautiful game https://youtube.com/watch?v=7CfBcDlkT8M
>>747600891>desperate face>light can't be absorbed, only reflected backIt is all doom and gloom to its holder
>>747595229He regretted not being able to pass down his sword skills before he died, so the Gods tasked him with teaching them to the new hero.I assume he got rewarded with a paradisal Kokiri Forest afterlife when he finished teaching TP Link the last skill.
>>747596476In what way does he get fucked? Having to go to Termina and deal with that shit you mean? Him becoming a skeleton I only see as typical spirit shit dead people are called upon to do, it doesn't mean he has to be cursed or anything.
TP is no longer canon.
The Zelda timeline is fan fiction, fuck TP and fuck you
>>747600643Darunia ABSOLUTELY died. He ran into the chamber to fight a goron eating dragon and there was no trace of him.
>>747601271Rude.
>>747600948Downfall timeline also gets rid of Golden Goddesses and Hylia worship and switches to Catholicism lol
The only canon "timeline" in Zelda is the one where the Hero fails and leads to ALTTP.
>>747595229Anyone hoping that Nintendo will at least stronger hint in the remake that the Shade is OoT Link with the redesign to his Adult Form costume?Specifically with the addition of the owl motif vest.
skeleton warriors are so fucking cool
Okay, but where the FUCK does BOTW and TOTK fit into the timeline? Well?
>>747601462Only noobs dont know that OOT Link also appears in TP
YES YES. very good. however, this is canon.
>>747597923TP manga implied OoT Link became OoT Zelda’s consort
>>747600325>Phantom Ganon crushing Saria's fairy in front of herThat's actually so fucking sad. I checked the cutscenes and Saria's fairy is nowhere to be seen when she becomes a sage. Which makes sense I guess because it's Saria that's the sage, not the fairy. But I'm not going to be able to get that image out of my head now.
>>747597923does skellie and Old Link feature a lot in the manga? I want more.
>>747601627Mangas are not Canon
>>747600325>Pretty sure they all dieThat's the common interpretation but Nintendo said (probably in Hyrule Historia or some other official media) that they're all alive and A-OK. Can't have any meaningful and lasting bad things happening to the forces of good after all.
>>747595784With timezones if you get in a plane and fly far away enough you can find a place where it's Halloween in the future right now at this time.
>>747601627>>747601627>>747601627>>747601627>>747601627>>747601627
>>747598745>tfw thought Botw/TotK would mirror oot/MM in that the second one would be a smaller and darker more bizarre edgy game>first totk trailer comes out and it's some dark atmosphere shit>it's just bloated botw with g-mod tools
>>747601924rugpull of the century lol. dark edgy zelda is over man
>>747601549Unfortunately it was never confirmed and Nintendo has both said that the Shade is and isn't OoT Link.
>>747595229no pussy
>>747598324LttP didn’t marry Zelda, in ALBW he’s just a regular old man with an ugly daughter, which suggests he had an ugly wife
https://youtu.be/ge8zd1ZR-hcThis will be ruined in the remake just like how they ruined the ending of Starfox 64
>>747602031he smashed that pussy and attained infinite life due to coming in contact with the full triforce. "several generations"
does the Twilight princess manga cover everything?
>>747595621So I get to be a cool skeleton because I hate women? Sweet.
>>747602108>does the Twilight princess manga cover everything?It makes Twilight Princess not be the worst Zelda story ever told, yes.
>>747601865how does a skull close its fuckholes?
>>747602186he was just joking around bro!
>>747601527Super far end of the timeline disconnected from everything else. Might as well be it's own timeline.
>>747602038Please don't remind me of that ugly StarFox game
>>747599163Where the hell is this from?
>>747601527They released something a while back stating BotW and TotK are at the very very tail end of the timelines
>>747595229Everyone grown who dies in the Lost Woods becomes a stalfos. Children become skull kids.
The Hero of Time put his Master Sword to the hilt of Zelda's sheathe.
>>747595229>>747595445I genuinely hate the idea of this because it turns a Link into a vainglorious little shit
>>747599516Apparently the CERO rating for the remake has a horror tag on it, so hopefully that means those elements will survive.
>>747597182>Is OOT Zelda the most stupid Zelda in the franchise?Hylia bro
>dropped spirit tracks because mandatory mic blowing sequences were too frustrating and didn't work 9/10 times and told myelf I haven't played lttp and should be playing that instead then I didn't and never played zelda again
>>747598420>>747598420>>747598420You are the retard here. That anon was proving wrong another anon's logic.First anon said Link scored with Malon because TP link is his relative. The anon you replied to proved thats not the case. Now shipperfaggots have to find another proof
>>747598739>Second, a bit of sabotage and spite. Like many creators, Aonuma grew to resent the thing he made in the past that everyone liked more than what he made later.This is just your gay fanfiction. TP is his favorite game and he literally had TP Link go through the same fate as his predecessor.
>>747598467oh no, he isnt famous. What a terrible way to live
>>747602597>I genuinely hate the idea of this because it turns a Link into a vainglorious little shitYou hate what makes the Hero of Time so iconic. His tragedy is what makes him special. He is the only Hero who lost in every timeline.
>>747601763>Nintendo saidOr maybe your friend said? If you don't have a source there's no reason to believe you. I haven't seen any such statement myself.
>>747595229I still think this was a bullshit theory but they made it canon in the manga. You know, the one where he kisses Minda?
>>747600140this image makes it seem like the ultimate form is a terrible thing born of communing with the moon's dark powers and likely takes a toll on child Link, as it's like his memories from his adult form taking physical shape in this dark avatar. Is there any validity to this angsty reading?
>>747595229>comes back from termina>tries his best to continue his heroism>peacetime makes this difficult>the gorons and zora recognize whatever it is he's able to do for them but it's not enough to become a figure of renownFor reference, this is only a minor grievance to him. He mentions it one time in TP, but because Zelda fans are retarded, they blew it out of proportion so they could push fanfiction onto him.The real reason he becomes the Hero's Shade is>life goes on>again, peacetime means there's very little for a master combatant like link to really do>link knows evil will one day threaten hyrule again since ganondorf's execution ended up botched but the threat is too distant to be treated seriously>he has kids but they never take up the sword because peace means there's no real reason to>whether it be in combat or by natural causes, link dies without sharing his expertise>time passes and surprise surprise, evil returns to hyrule>the kingdom's army is populated by wimps, retards, and cowards so nothing can be done about it although the mixture of ganondorf's power and zant's stolen twili magic mean only THE hero can actually do anything>sensing that his bloodline is still active, oot link manifests as the hero's shade so he can test tp link and pass down all the techniques he never got to in life>by the time tp link learns ~5 of the hidden skills he's satisfied and is teaching the rest because he likes sparring with his descendanttl;dr he looks spooky but he's just trying to tie up loose ends and do one last act of heroism by helping you kick ol' Dorf's ass.
>>747595308wtf is this true?
>>747600325>a deku stickIs Saria fucking stupid?
>>747602857it's open to interpretation.
>>747602586Poor Fi
>>747602821I have no problems with the fact that shit went bad, I hate that he's a whiney shit crying that people didn't suck his dick hard enough
>>747603021>I hate that he's a whiney shit crying that people didn't suck his dick hard enoughI would argue it's a poor Japanese to English translation. Some emotions in Japanese cannot be described in any other language. So to us the Hero's Shade seems brooding and petty and stupid, but to the Japanese samurai man, his emotions are quite relatable.
>>747602597>VaingloriousIs it? He pretty much lost everything. He has no home, no fairy, no one remembers him, no friends and is still a child who wasted his childhood. Hew was forced to do adult shit.Anyone would start having doubts and regrets.
>>747603001I don't know how SS Link did it because I would forget the mission and never pull out
>>747595229>the war isn't over>gets his great*100 grandchild to finish the jobShit is so fucking sick. I hope the TP remake leans on this.
Only in the most banned and forbidden fanfiction does Link make it safely back to his beautiful yearning Princess beloved.
>>747596027Hero of Twilight knows Malon’s familial song. It’s not nothing. But ultimately incidental things.
>>747602857I like to think the Fierce Deity is his 'Ganon' form
>>747603247>Hero of Twilight knows Malon’s familial song. It’s not nothing. But ultimately incidental things.His horse is also named Epona. It's just meaningless callbacks to OOT because Nintendo loves that retarded shit. Also, he blows into a reed and it makes that sound. He's not 'playing a reed'. It's not a musical instrument like the Ocarina.
>>747603021>I hate that he's a whiney shit crying that people didn't suck his dick hard enoughBut that's not true: Link literally becomes a renowned swordsman and is supposedly buried in the Royal Family cemetery. Ghosts literally pay tribute to the spot. It's obvious that he's more upset about not finishing the job.
>>747603001Nonstop sex with the Master Sword
>>747602857>>747602968He is the purity of what Link can become. What he truly is.
>>747601971but dark fantasy is super popular through fromsoft and its copy cats in current year, right? allow me this cope
>>747603504brother let it go. we can never go back.
>>747595229He went back to the lost woods and got lost and died
>>747603402I don't like that. In such a dark game it feels only appropriate that wielding transformative destructive power like that should come at a price, or if it's purity, then it's showing a pure darkness or evil of some kind. >>747602968that's some gud art
>>747602597He was a hero, anon
>>747603402He's a monstrous freak and Princess Zelda is afraid of him.
>>747596476links awakening too, to a degree
>>747602597the part about not being remembered for what he did is essentially just fanfiction from the hyrule historia. TP only implies that he is regretful of the fact that he couldn't pass on his sword skills to any of his decendants.
>>747600601>TP Zelda was so bland the manga transformed her into a much more interesting incarnation.Based Granny.
ITT: we post abstract Zelda art
>>747603303that's cool, in retrospect it was a missed opportuntiy to go more in depth on that paralell in TP with his wolf form and Ganon's boarform, the beast inside type of thing, thought it's been ages since I've played it, maybe they talk about it,
>>747600601A sudden stop, then I realizeTurn around, now I wanna cryI have found where the secrets lie, I see it nowI wave a hand to the brand new dayAnd the pain has all gone awayThese new feelings that love betraysI sing a song so sweet, someone in needA song for someone who has come to the end of the line
>>747596629woman moment, magic can only do so much
>>747603950>>747603831it's even more tragic once you read the OOT manga.
>>747602962Deku Sticks are as powerful as the Master Sword
>>747595420The spirit never dies
>>747595445He regretted not passing his knowledge, the Hidden Skills, on. His regrets were absolved by passing them onto the Hero of Twilight.
>>747595772He isn't a Stalfos. He's a Spirit/Shade.
>>747604185He's categorized as a Stalfos in the same book that confirmed he's the Hero of Time.
>>747598548What dis bitch say
Link never forgot that kiss Zelda gave him.
>>747604185Ermm...
>>747603338>It's just meaningless callbacks to OOTBuddy the game is addressing the loose ends of OoT.
>>747604362>Buddy the game is addressing the loose ends of OoT.No the heck it isn't. Dumbest take I've ever heard. If there's one thing TP did, it's make the ending of OOT and MM even more nonsensical.
>>747601763I love that art.Relating to what you said, that is what made me absolutely hate Age Of Calamity, what a cowardly way to go about that.
>>747603651They've done the Hyrule king in disguise teaching the hero so he can mend their fuckups, but wouldn't it be awesome if we had a retired old Link who teaches you and have you take over the mantle of hero, handing you the tunic and hood, but then it turns out later on that in the past the old hero fucked up and chose selfishly somehow or didn't do the right thing, so now you have to mend it. Such as he saw the cycle of Ganon being killed over and over again, so he decided to try and break the cycle instead or keep him imprisoned but this was a mistake and now you have to go and kill him, even if it means he returns in another time. this might have been the plot of skyward sword i dont remember dont judge me I just want zorro anthony hopkins teaching banderas
>>747604402>If there's one thing TP did, it's make the ending of OOT and MM even more nonsensical.Sure, if you're retarded.
>>747602857reminder that the kids in the moon's garden represent the bosses (including Majora) and they ask you to play with them despite the fact you've beaten all of them but one, and when you earn FD mask they all get scared of you.the ingame description also states this mask got a dark power.>his memories as adultAonuma confirmed in an interview the mask is powered by the feelings of everyone in Termina, both the good people and evil ones FD. considering the item descriptions in Hyrule Warriors, he is a god of vengeance, not necessarily aligned with good or bad, more like an oni or asura
>>747604554NTA but Aonuma said so much bullshit in interviews over the years. He also said that none of the same-looking characters in MM represent anything from OOT. They merely re-used them because of time crunch and thought their characterizations in OOT were so one dimensional and terrible he wanted a do over.
>>747604402Not him but stupid people (like you) ironically tend to perceive smart people as stupid.The fact that Ganondorf was still around and hadn't been stopped in the past that Link returns to at the end of the game was a major loose end of OoT, and TP turned resolving that into the core of its plot. Another loose end was Link seemingly still having the Triforce of Courage after returning to before the Triforce was split in three by Ganondorf, and that was also resolved.
>>747601924Tears couldn't figure out what the fuck it wanted to be. Absolutely feels like it was written by multiple parties who didn't communicate. Some parts are somber as shit, some parts just act like Breath never happened at all
>>747604758>Another loose end was Link seemingly still having the Triforce of Courage after returning to before the Triforce was split in three by Ganondorf, and that was also resolved.Link didn't have the Triforce of Courage in Majora's Mask. He lost it. The Triforce of Courage protects Link against Dark Magic like in the final fight against Ganondorf (Navi can't withstand it but Link can). If Link brought the triforce piece to Termina, there's no way Skull Kid's magic could have affected him.
>>747604317That book isn't canon. Get another source.
Has the 2 Zeldas problem of the NES games ever been addressed?
>>747604951>Has the 2 Zeldas problem of the NES games ever been addressed?Yes, he fucked them both, next question.

Plastation tard here, never played Zelda nor owned a Nintendo console, am I missing too much? This thing of Link doing an heroic deed and being sent to the past after it as a child doesn't seem like a big deal. From what I read about it Link looks like a good fella, so why is the ending of Ocarine of time controversial to some anons? (I don't know if controversial is the correct word to describe it desu]
>>747601763Even that can be interpreted as they are OK in the child timeline because Link averted the timeline where they die, since the Goron dude very explicitly dies in the Adult timeline.
>>747605736Read the thread. There's like over 100 posts talking about it already.
>>747604882>encyclopedia isn't canonNot even Aonuma's own words are, since he contradicts loads of stuff he himself stated. Also, right now shit from the mangas and pre-Aonuma Zeldas with Link's christian references are making rounds on social media due to the remake.either we stick to the Nintendo official licensed products (TM) or we follow the curated canon that "makes the most sense" from the wikis, and thus, bowing to the authority of their tranny mods.I'd rather stick to the encyclopedia and all their licensed bullshit over the most reasonable and logical they/them wikia scholars.
>>747605736>being sent to the past after it as a child doesn't seem like a big dealSo are you saying you would be okay with no one remembering you and your deeds and not being able to go home ever again? You would be okay with dying alone and miserable?
>>747595229he died with regret because he technically never really did anything in his own reality so his spirit lingered until he was able to make a difference there.
>>747601414Well, why should the Hylians continue to worship some weird space witches when the best they could do to stop the big-nosed man was flood the world? Better to bite the Platonism pill at that point.
when the fuck is the finale to hero's purpose coming out?
Hylia = Amaterasu = Goddess of Light connected to the Royal BloodlineFierce Deity = Susano’o = Wandering Warrior Swordsman/Protector God connected to Wind, Forests, and StormsDemise = Tsukiyomi = Darkness God connected to royalty and trickery
>>747599163I had hope that the old man in BoTW was gonna be ganon who chilled the fuck out after getting his generational curse thing exorcised. I was disappointed.
>>747604951qrd?
>>747605912Yeah, I was reading it but I wanted a more concise answer about it.>>747606038Just how many years into the past he was sent? And well, he is a noble hero, he wasn't on it for the fame, was it?
>>747605736It's not controversial, it's just a little sad to save the world and make many friends only to go back in time to a timeline where no one will ever know what you did and your comrades don't know you. Link ends up dying in a cursed forest with many regrets, causing him to exist as an undead skeleton for centuries.Also the future world he left behind after saving it ended up being destroyed later on because he wasn't there anymore, so both timelines end up tragic.
>>747606490>Link ends up dying in a cursed forest with many regrets, causing him to exist as an undead skeleton for centuries.But that is not true, we know he made it out because we can find the Song of Healing in TP, meaning he made it out of the Lost Woods.
>>747606374Ghirahim = demon twink meant for bouncing on my dih
>>747604951Yes, all the official timelines address it. There's 2 Zeldas at the same time who are different people, nothing more to say about that.
>>747595229He dreamade about his game being remade by Playstation https://streamable.com/9a7w5f
>>747602597he was a man. That's saying a lot these days
>>747606490Ah, I see.Do you all think that the remake will be worth it? Might get a switch 2 just for it.
>>747595229Couldnt take Malon's temper and bitching anymore, went to the lost woods to find peace and die alone
>>747606568Stupid, stupid post. He dies as an adult, obviously, since he had descendants. Not in the same journey as during Majora's Mask. I shouldn't have to say that explicitly. Fuck you and posts like yours.
>>747606641That’s a sword
>>747604118>"You don't understand. The Shield Attack is TOO AWESOME AND REVOLUTIONARY to be forgotten!"
>>747606807The original game still holds up, there's no way it's worth like $600 or whatever it costs now for just one game. Just download an emulator.Remake looks great if you already have more reasons to have a Switch 2 though.
>>747606807I'm getting a switch 2 for it. The new artstyle might be divisive, but this remake is basically what OOT would've been like if they didn't have the technical limitations of the N64. It'll be worth it to me because OOT is quite literally the very first video I've ever played, so the nostalgia alone is enough to make me want to play it.
>>747595229Because he did not pass his skills on to the next generation, and because Ganondorf was banished rather than killed, meaning he was coming back one day. That regret and sense of duty kept him around as a lingering spirit. People don't give TP enough credit for being influenced by Majora in addition to OoT. Visually TP is like Ocarina, but thematically it's way closer to Majora and ALTTP.
>>747606876yestp's moves are crazy
>>747600409well yeah, once you get the triforce you can bring dead people back to life, just look at the king of hyrule here.
>>747605736It’s more that it’s a weirdly sad ending to one of the most beloved games in the series. Link saves everyone but no one remembers it, and is left with the knowledge and dissonance that came with seeing all that tragedy happen and losing 7 years of his life and waking up in a destroyed world as an adult, only to be sent back into his child body. Plus there’s a whole game that explores themes of damaged souls and loss and acceptance that’s a direct sequel, and his canonical last appearance is as a battle scarred spectre clinging to life like so many of the spirits he helped in Termina. His regret and turmoil captures the imagination.
>>747607097>"See, it's just Jump Attack, but instead of slashing, you stick the pointy end into the enemy. It's a very advanced and difficult technique. In my time, there were none skilled enough to learn it."
>>747606869never thought I'd ever get to see a blade this hot.imagine this qt little broadsword of darkness twerking and calling me daddy
>>747606876That shit actually rules you can deflect projectiles and stunlock lizalfos. Plus it allows for the Helm Splitter which destroys Darknuts.
>>747606947>>747607006I see, thanks for the thoughts senpais.
>>747595907Especially since this version of Ganondorf (manga) got access to other timeline's memories when he got his triforce of power so he knows damn well it's that fucking brat that screwed him over twice.
>>747607132I think I will have to try it one of this days desu.Is the Zelda franchise inspired in any specific work?
Why didn’t The Hero’s Shade teach TP Link how to do Infinite Sword Glitch? Maybe there were no Deku Sticks around.
>>747600794Why is she so thirsty for skelly man?
>>747607248>"For this next technique, a considerable degree of skill and discipline is needed. Although I have attempted to pass it on to others in the past, they all failed. It was simply too complex, you see. So what you need to is you hold out your shield... and you thrust it forward. And that's it. No one else in all of Hyrule was capable of mastering this move."
>>747606264Flood didnt happen in that timeline
>>747597832nintendo will never make a third Nes Link game.
>>747607495Have you seen the average Hyrulian? They’re really stupid and cowardly.
>>747607362
>>747607186Not everyone can master Iaijutsu in a day, citizen pleb.
The updated timeline on the Jap Zelda website basically says that every timeline ends up at BOTW eventually which is lame but it is what it is.
>>747597509Gods couldn't asspull a hero since there was no Link in that timeline anymore. Took a while before someone LARPed as Link so hard he managed to mantle the concept of the hero's spirit and continue the reincarnation shenanigans.
>>747607049>Because he did not pass his skills on to the next generationI feel like this is a trope thats really common in Asian works, but doesn't translate well to western audiences - the grand master who can't pass on his school/technique because none of his pupils are worthy of the legacy type of shit
>>747607435I can’t really think of Zelda being inspired by anything besides a general concept of the mythological “Eternal Hero” concept, Peter Pan (for Link’s design), and maybe Japanese mythology. And i guess most japanese fantasy is inspired by 1st Edition DnD
>the remake is going to have Fi noises come from the Master Sword
>>747607563You'd think you'd see more Gorons taking positions in the Hylian Army considering they're actually good at fighting and practically as much a part of Hyrule the Kingdom as the Shekiah are.
TP Zelda is one of the most alurring and mature Zeldas with her cool demeanor and womanliness. A WOMAN. Through and through. Real Saeko Busujima-type vibes.
>>747607702Hyrule is an apartheid state.
>>747607618It's just the Turn A Gundam/Megaman Legends situation. Japs love the idea that if you go far ahead enough into the future any timeline differences become insignificant as if the universe was just ironing out the kinks.
>>747607702Gorons are usually weirdly isolationist and insular. Like they’re chill if you come to them but you almost never see them outside of their native volcano lands. I guess aside from a few Goron merchants and travelers in BoTW.
>>747607830That's mostly due to their diets, they need to basically be within a stone throw's distance of their primary food.
>>747607702They don't have tasty rocks.
>>747607738
>>747607872Also they're really picky. Like they won't just eat any rock they find, it has to be very specific types of rocks, specifically found in volcanoes. And the only active volcano in Hyrule is Death Mountain.
>>747607618I feel like "everything just becomes BOTW" is an even bigger cop out than the timeline itself. I get why they did it of course, but unlike the timeline, which was nintendo caring to much, BOTW was them caring too little. And TOTK just turned the unified """lore""" into an even bigger and more retarded mess with sub-saharans committing bestiality and apparently creating Hylians in the process, or Zelda, or WHATEVER the fuck they were thinking.
>>747607901WW Zelda could be coaxed into doing anal.
>>747595621he scores though
>>747600409>>747600325>remake tapestry shows Impa getting attacked by Bongo Bongo
this franchise hasn't been good for over 20 years and the oot demake looks like shit. let it go
>>747608082The updated timeline says the Zonai from totk created a different hyrule after the old games not the same one from the old games
>>747606383In the original Legend of Zelda kid Link rescues Zelda, then in its direct sequel Link rescues saves Zelda’s great-great-great aunt, also named Zelda. The hearts that float above the heads indicate both Zeldas have a romantic interest in Link.
>>747606383NES Link saves Zelda at the end of Zelda 1NES Link saves a different Zelda at the end of Zelda IISame Link, two different Zeldas. It's not really elaborated on much further than that. Zelda 2 Zelda was older and put in a Sleeping Beauty Coma for years.
>>747605736If you’re really a SNOY go play Alundra It’s better than like 90% of the Zelda games
>>747598864Majora's Mask is probably the best game with Zelda in the title. It's not a traditional Zelda game in terms of story, it kind of does it own thing but is vastly superior for it. It is well written, has better controls, combat, puzzles, dungeons and side quests compared to OOT. OOT is kind of basic, but not bad. Quintessential 3D Zelda game. Aged a little poorly. Maybe wait for the remake if you have a Switch 2 and a spare $60.Twilight Princess is really good. It's similar to OOT, but everything is more fleshed out and polished. Game holds up very well. Writing and story are a little basic, but honestly most Zelda games are, with the exception of Majoras Mask.Wind Waker is also good and worth checking out if you like water and quirkiness.
>>747603338>It's just meaningless callbacks to OOTThe game is the canon sequel to OoT and MM, zoomjeet
>>747609201>. It's similar to OOT, but everything is more fleshed out and polished.ehhhhhh
>>747608745It’s also important to note Link fucks literally dozens of women in Zelda 2Fucking 2 Zeldas at the same time is something he probably wouldn’t be morally opposed to
>>747596179Maybe he suffered the Rex curse, and had nothing but bodacious farmer daughters instead of a son.
>>747596249He was mentally 10 years old. Dude was a certified retard, chosen by the Triforce
>>747596629suffering some sort of female psychosis, probably
>>747603402He needs his own game.He teams up with Mr Bones alt for a wild ride to fix all the timelines. How many Ganons will die in his quest for peace?
>>747609615I think the gameplay holds up better than OOT. Having played both this year.The combat in TP is my favorite in the entire series. The dungeons have a cool atmosphere. The plot is basic but cool. All the side characters are annoying and the beginning of the game fucking drags. But it's probably my favorite Zelda game behind Majora's Mask.
>>747600390Link x Malon is my fav, but I recognize OoT Link/Zel as being really good, and far far better than BOTW Link/Zel even though those guys are hyped up as the "closest" they've ever been. Bullshit. OoT Link and Zelda spend the entire game working together, not as closely as TP Link and Midna, but through Shiek they are fighting together to save Hyrule, then they escape together in the end. They were lifelong friends if nothing else.
>>747608008To be fair, there's a huge difference between a slice of lettuce and tree bark. A Goron chef probably doubles as a chemist.
>>747598324TP Link and Zelda barely have a relationship. Link went back to Ilya, or lived on trying to find a way to get to his imp wife.
>>747598591His regrets were that he didn't get to cash in on his harem. He had to settle for one girl.
>>747595229I hated that this was confirmed to be OoT Link, it looks and feels nothing like Link and is very obviously a slightly modified Darknut. If this is meant to be Link it should have equipment that Link did or at least would use, the horn helmet is way the fuck off.
>>747599594Wrong, Ingo is gay for Talon. Go be a child molesting tranny somewhere else.
>>747595229He used the Berserker armor for too long, and eventually became the armor itself.
>>747599751little bitch boy guarded the meadow for 7 years while Saria was getting phantom raped, loland then, get this, he aplogized to Linkfucking cuck lmao
He's literally just SK
>>747610956that's pretty cool actually
>>747595229Never played any Zelda games, what do people mean by saying oot Link's fate is shit when Majora's Mask is a direct sequel? Doesn't that game establish his ultimate fate? I genuinely don't know
>>747610923Non canon adult timeline sorry
>>747611096its a "Link saved everyone's asses twice over (at least), but because he had to rely on time travel and rewinding time, there's no way anyone will ever know" kinda situation.Also the whole "he knows Ganondorf will be back, but will be unable to actually finish him off" shit as well.
>>747611793i see, so majoras mask doesnt directly influence anything established in oot, its just a sequel in the sense of having a new adventure in the same world?
>>747611960>its just a sequel in the sense of having a new adventure in the same world?He's inexplicably in another world entirely. Out-of-context it's because it was a miracle-grade assetflip that was pitched and completed in under a year (which let Koizumi get away with a lot of shit that Aonuma didn't approve of, because Aonuma intended for the impossible deadline to sink Koizumi anyways), in-universe the popular theory is that Link dies in the forest at the very start of the game and the game is set in purgatory as he's going through the stages of grief.
Where does DIC Zelda fall in the timeline(s)?
>>747611096the problematic answer is that they didn't care about any of it during ocarina of time or majora's mask, the "timeline" stuff is retroactive continuitywhat happens in ocarina of time is what happens in ocarina of time, other things reference it but what happens in ocarina of time was not written to go beyond ocarina of timeit wasn't till skyward sword where they heard people wanting a timeline and they thought it was cool, so they tried to force things together to make sense and then make a book as side merchandiseit can only loosely make sense because the things that happened prior were more like references to a concept that there's a cycle of fate between three characters that continues repeating, rather than a hard "THIS thing happened eons ago and caused THAT thing to happen eons later"sometimes a link completes his cycle and has an adventure of his own outside of the link/zelda/ganondorf plot, (lttp,la / oot,mm) but that's about it
>>747611960He enters a parallel dimension at the start of the game. No, it's not a metaphor for purgatory. He returns to Hyrule afterwards, has children, and lives out his life in obscurity until he dies and becomes an undead, presumed to be due to the curse of the forest which is repeatedly mentioned in OoT. Eventually his soul finds peace after passing on his skills to his descendant in Twilight Princess.
>>747612738>because Aonuma intended for the impossible deadline to sink Koizumi anyways>dude just trust me, my dad worked at Nintendo Japan and Shiggy told him this directly
>>747595308The truth is that you body doent turn into a skeleton, it has a skeleton all along.
>>747613168This is why I never cared about Zelda games or Nintendo shit for that matter, all of their games have no continuity to them and nothing matters. Same shit with comics really.
>>747613168It's funny that retards have said shit like this for 30+ years now even though every single time a new game came out, the director directly addressed its place in the timeline during the promotional period for the game.There has literally never been a time where there was actually a question whether the games are connected or not. It's never been a secret or mystery, players like you are just fucking stupid and ignorant. When Twilight Princess released the director even directly explained how the timeline split works and somehow there was still debate for years afterwards whether there was a split timeline or not, or even a timeline at all, only because a lot of people just refuse to read up on anything and will keep insisiting on their own made-up fanfiction.
>>747613521k
>>747613439Most of the Zelda games have always been tied together in a single continuity, that anon is just retarded.
>>747613547So you are going to keep posting the same false stuff you just posted anyway right? People on /v/ never want to learn, right?
>>747613521nigger, they literally made that shit up to appeal to canon fags. none of the games were built with any grand story in mind, if marios creators released a timeline tomorrow, youd suck them off even if quite literally nothing connects this shit together
>>747613639you changed the timeline of what i said, it shifted from skyward sword to twilight princesscongratulations on changing fate, link
now go have a different adventure
>>747595229ironically, he returns to the same forest that he was raised in, but because he was an adult, being there cursed him.
>>747613521This is true. Even before Wind Waker came out, and years before the Hyrule Historia, they were talking about WW as something taking place in a world that Link left. Same for TP but in regards to Link being a child. There was always a timeline, but the drive to include every game into one thing is where you get the downfall shit and really convoluted placement of games like 4swords etc.
>>747613870He only got cursed because he didn't have a fairy to guide him, not because he was an adult. He went there as an adult in OOT, but he was fine because he had Navi with him.
>>747613676Lorefags gonna lorefag. It's like Dark Souls, where From just makes up shit as they go along based on what sounds cool, but lorefags pretend there's some grand hidden reason or connection for everything. Same thing with the Zelda timeline, only games with direct connection to each really care about consistency, and those barely.
>>747614039souls games have more in common than zelda games thoughbeit. nintendo just sells toys for kids, they never cared about storytelling
>>747596741What about links awakening/linnk to the past link>saves hyrule but his only parental figure is dead>goes to sea and gets stranded on koholint>at the end of links awakening the island and everyone on it disappears and he’s still stranded at sea
>>747602597>Destined to be a hero>Go through a bunch of shit and save the world>Immediately get sent away from the world you just saved and the friends you made along the way>End up back in the past>No home because you know you're not a kokiri and can't go back to the forest>No friends because you haven't met them in this timeline>Only friend you do have left just up and vanishes for no reasonLink had it pretty rough
>>747613997>I doubt that when you take size into consideration.sounds like the verbatim definition of retroactive if it begins during cubie times
>>747614203Also>never had sex and died alone
>>747614225oh i pasted something from a different conversation about the rate of water depletion in a tank, whoopsie!
>>747613589There was a time pre Skyward Sword when fans were asking Nintendo if there was a series continuity and Nintendo answer was there isn't one but people kept asking and asking until Nintendo said fuck it. There's 3 branching timelines because of OoT and Gannon win in one and it's all canon. They just did it to shut up the autistic fans.
>>747614260>He never scored
>>747609201The thing MM does better than Ocarina is side quests. Only four dungeons is a massive mark against the game, and only Stone Tower is truly amazing. The bosses also suck or are mediocre aside from Goht, and the final boss especially is one of the worst in series history. Pacing in general is also way worse than OoT, and there are a number of frustrating elements inherent in the time loop system that are always glossed over by MM glazers. Good game, but not the untouchable masterpiece that the Internet has been spending the last 20 years trying to pretend it is.
>>747597865But in Majora's Mask Tatl beats link up
>>747595229it's the bad ending
>>747595229That's what every OoT millennial turned into
>>747614138Neither does From, everything is just an excuse for more boss fights.
>>747614203Why couldn't Link just go back to the forest and have sexo with Saria? He could still talk to her via his ocarina when he plays her song. She could've just guided him back to the Kokiri's place. No fairy needed.
>>747600891Don't care one of the coolest shields in a game ever
>>747595769This moment was fucking kino
>>747601462Fado already hints it pretty well, even if it probably wasn't the original intent by the writers. It's recontextualization always chills me a bit on OoT replays
>>747600891I remember disliking it at first but grew to love it after awhile, a mirror shield with an agonizing face felt very appropriate for the surreal atmosphere of Termina
>>747600891You now remember that Malon's Termina counterpart gets anally probed and mind broken by Aliens in Majora's Mask.
>>747597794He just assumes he is by his character design without playing the game. Despite having regrets the stalfos himself is quite calm and composed.
>>747614904Wtf I love Majora's Mask now.
>>747614739Yes, but now both OoT Link and the Shade share an owl design with their chest armor. It has to be deliberate hinting by Nintendo
>>747600498Memory transfer. Just an entire lifetime dumped into her head. In a way, the Hero of Time saves TP Link from that shit by simply still existing.
>>747608745>Zelda 2 Zelda was older and put in a Sleeping Beauty Coma for years.Had to be more then years, since she was asleep since the golden era and between then and zelda 1 people forgot the triforce of courage existed. Generations, at least.
>>747600105Why do they need to explain that? He turns around with an open door and walks outside. You can see with your own eyeballs that the temple is open to him.
>>747595308Holy shit that’s fucking crazy
>>747595308not me
>>747609201Delusional
>>747595769>vagueHe's Left Handed. Just like the other Links before him. It's fairly obvious, if you're not retarded.
>>747614374It doesn't mean you have to find it a good temple, but the dark lighting in the Bo rooms in the swamp temple is excellent, and I wish were MM 25% longer, it had more dark spots like that>>747615291never caught an owl on Shade, but if so, sounds interesting
