the guardians are from a war with robo ganon long ago

Bump

It would be cool if you could take control of the guardians later on in the game.

Anyone else think this is in the Wind Waker timeline?

I doubt it
If Hyrule was flooded then abandoned, why is there all this advanced shit there

I would like to see a dominion rod type thing with more freedom than TP

by this un released trailer youtube.com/watch?v=BPjgEPQzl7c

at the end, the Guardian seems to have a flashback. so I guess the 2014 Trailer happens before Link goes to sleep

I think this takes place far after The Adventures of Link.

It's because it's a post-apocalyptic version of Spirit Tracks' Hyrule

so is it gonna be actually open world or just a linear adventure like every game after OoT

Squidward Sword is the first in the timeline, and that game featured ancient technology.

>Hyrule gets flooded
>everything is fucking buried under water
>everything includes advanced shit

You belong in the /vg/ OP.

It's plainly fucking obvious it's Flooded Hyrule after the ocean receeded. They hinted at it like 9 times in the livestream.

>no train tracks in sight

still plausible tho desu

>>the great plateau is the ruins of castle town
That's pretty much a given seeing as how you see the ruined Temple of Time right from the beginning.

you can go an virtually straight up walk to ganon after you wake up. good luck trying to bead the end boss with an stick tho

Spirit Tracks Hyrule takes place in New Hyrule, where there is no Mastersword.

>It's because it's a post-apocalyptic version of Spirit Tracks' Hyrule
Nope. It's very obviously the original Hyrule. The Temple of Time is the same one from OoT.

They never said that. They just stated that it is possible to get to the final boss without uncovering the story. There's still probably gonna be prerequisites to finishing the game.

>you can go an virtually straight up walk to ganon after you wake up.
Aonuma never said this.
He said you can beat the game without experiencing the whole story.

Why is there the Bridge of Eldin there

What about the Temple of Time

Koroks are pretty damning evidence for post WW


It seems like it could be the timeline converging

user Aonuma himself directly said you could almost immediately challenge the final boss, you'd just have to be crazy to try it

So Breath of the Wild is basically Dark Souls 3?

>Eldin bridge

bridge of Hylia senpai.

I'm pretty sure that was the Great Bridge of Hylia.
Anyway, the existence of Koroks isn't proof that it's in the Wind Waker timeline. The Kokiri do not appear after OoT in any timeline so there's nothing that contradicts them becoming Koroks there.

>Why is the Bridge of Eldin there
The Bridge of Eldin could have always existed in many of the games, just not TP. The geography of Hyrule is mostly malleable with many geographical landmarks changing place in relation to other landmarks. Or maybe after OoT the Bridge of Eldin could have been made by Hyruleans or whatever in every timeline.

>What about the Temple of Time
Temple of Time existed in OoT where all three timelines split from. So I don't really understand your point considering every timeline from that point would include a Temple of Time

>Koroks are pretty damning evidence for post WW
Yeah they do, along with the sea salt rocks. However, Kokiri could've evolved into Koroks in all three of the timelines, not just WW.

Basically, y'all need to stop looking into this so seriously. It's fun n shit to theorize, but at the end of the day Nintendo is gonna do whatever they wanna do and justify it.

It's hinted that the Link in this game is one from a previous Zelda title, so who do you think it could be?

Nintendo is gonna say "fuck it" and make that Link the same as SS Link. Because. Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

Well, this link is right handed, despite the game not having motion controls this time around, and no other link before was right handed except for Skyward Sword link, so...

TP link was too user. technically

So if this link has been asleep for a long time, which timeliness will this fit in? I'm guessing the majoras mask timeline. That futuristic ruins remind me so much of megaman legends. I fucking love games set millions of years in the future when humanity went back and lives among technology

koroks are literally the same koroks that appear in WW though

During an interview, Aonuma said the Shiekah symbol on his shirt was the same as from Ocarina of Time and that Link was asleep for 100. Then he said "I wonder what that means?"

Right now I'm assuming that they don't think the Hero of Time has suffered enough yet.

>Tingle spent hundreds of years in a pod being transfigured to look like the hero he truly is.

Calling it now.

that moblin ass

Tingle has been brainwashed into believing he's Link, and the real Link has fucked off to South Africa

>kingdom hearts II opening
really?

Maybe...just maybe this Link is from the timeline where Link was killed...but not really. He was badly injured and taken into recovery as Ganon laid waste to the land.

It uses a bunch of WW design stuff so this being post WW makes some degree of sense to me.

He literally said "Anybody who can go straight to the goal without doing anything else"

ign.com/articles/2016/06/15/e3-2016-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-can-be-beaten-without-completing-the-story

so that's the tech they borrowed from monolith soft? ass shapes?

>Koroks are pretty damning evidence for post WW
Why? So sure we know this is the case in Wind Waker. But Kokiri have yet to appear outside of Ocarina of Time. I feel, as cart before the horse as it would be, that the Koroks are infinitely more likely to be the natural form of the Kokiri than their mutated descendants.

My reasoning as follows:
1) Kokiri call a magical demigod tree their dad, and it calls them his children. Everything else that acts this way is a member of the same genus: Great Fairies to Tatl, and Jabu to the Zora. And when the Zora start being birds, they start worshiping something that flies.
2) The Kokiri being an adaptation to fit into the human/hylian encroachment like in OOT's timeframe sure seems to me to fit better a transformative event than "We lived in a forest for a long time and became trees" since Kokiri were presumably living in a forest since their creation.
3) This lends to explaining the Kokiri's symbiosis with fairies in an ass backwards way. Why would Kokiri need guides to side around in the designated safe zone their whole lives? Why don't Koroks, who travel the world to seed plants in Wind Waker have them? The only point I can draw is the mechanical one that is worked into the tutorial in Ocarina of Time. That Kokiri need fairies to do things approximating human movement, like turning your head at an angle away from the front of their body.Something the Koroks can't do because they don't have necks.
4) If the race exists outside of the enclave the Deku Tree made, (which yeah is not a safe bet for BotW) I have a hard time believing they would be anything like the Kokiri. Playful, or lazy children dressed in green, who are assigned a guardian at all times.

Nah, it's more like this, if anything.
skip to 1:37 if the link doesn't work

>I think this takes place far after The Adventures of Link.
I'm glad somebody else has the same idea I do.

>HoT hasn't suffered enough
Leave the man be, jesus.

It's in the fallen hero timeline.

Link dies, the sages put him in a resurrection chamber and contain ganon in hyrule castle, the country falls into decline and leads to the NES games.

Aonuma has been going on about similarities to OoT and laughing about it so it's likely directly after that, and if Link has only been in the process of resurrection for 100 years there's no way WW could have happened in that period.

A robotic Ganon would be a neat twist, but this appears to just be pure speculation.

You're forgetting about the Koroks. How can there be Koroks pre-WW?

Not to mention Aonuma strongly hinted that the game is also connected to Twilight Princess and that he recommended that people play TPHD and previous Zelda games in the series in order to find the "aha! now I see" moments in Zelda U's plot.

Not to mention there's murals like this in castle town. Each tile representing a timeline, which should be fucking impossible for a game that takes place AFTER the split, in the child timeline.

I bet that's the reason they removed towns and NPCs from the demo as well; too many familiar faces and locales hinting at a timeline convergence. Only the koroks managed to say in.

Could it be set after Zelda 2? With Ganon now just a mindless spirit entity, and the Hero of Time resurrected after the fall of the NES Link?

>what did he mean by this?

Actually Link is left handed in tp, the Wii version is a mirror image

>Manlet Link in all of them.

Nah, this can't be the Hero of Time.

It doesn't look anything like the hero of time, isn't left-handed and doesn't even have a similar voice.

I feel like people just want him to be the Her of Time for nostalgia reasons only, even if he's already fucking nothing like him. Might as well call an apple an orange if you're that desperate then.

>timeline convergence
gotta say i'm warming up to this idea very quickly

Looks similar to the Oracle Links

What if... this Link is literally plucked from another Timeline and placed in the Shrine of Resurrection by the sages in order to deal with Ganon after he fucked up the world and this Timeline's Link was sacrificed in order to imprison Ganon in his Calamity form inside Hyrule? Maybe "real Link" is trapped with him.

Something like that.

>retards think this is in the Wind Waker timeline

Spirit Tracks is already 100 years after Wind Waker

why do they insist upon fucking that kid up?

>his only friend can't be with him because they aren't the same race
>he can't get with Malon because she's a simple girl and he is literally destined for battle
>he can't get with Nabooru because he's a fucking child, and she gets zapped when he comes back as an adult
>he probably wouldn't want to get with the cunt that is Ruto
>why the hell would he want to get with granny Impa?
>he can't get with Zelda because fuck you go back in time and fix this shit
>he can't even keep his fucking fairy, who left him because her mission was done
>he wanders and wanders into bizarro Hyrule and meets tons of familiar faces, only to walk away from it all presumably because that shit is weighing on his head
>he dies without ever passing on his knowledge

Seriously those timelinefags are ridiculous. Trying to fit a timeline in a game which never gave a fuck about it. How the fuck do you explain hyrule being different in every game? You cant explain that shit so dont try to fit in a timeline, retards.

It's before the flood
>Ganon has already begun destroying hyrule
>Has been sealed in castle by sages or some shit and separated from Ganondorf (old man)
>Old man helping link because he needs him to break the seal and reach full power
>Link is a clone because real hero didn't come
>Tries to save hyrule but fails
>Manages to wish for hyrule to be flooded because triforce
>Tall mountains become different islands from wind waker

This could happen way after ST, back in original Hyrule.

there's literally an official timeline you dumbass

I wouldn't hold your breath on Easter Eggs being indicative of the plot.

I imagine this is more like Minish Cap that just throws characters and things in to make the player nostalgic, not to tell a story.

>how do you explain hyrule being different in every game
gee, how do you explain Texas being different from 1700 to 1900 to 2016 [current year]?

the passage of time, dumbass.

Yeah, I don't really think he's the real Hero of Time, but Aonuma is deliberately pointing to Ocarina of Time in reference to this Link for some reason.

>what is tower of the gods

except Aonuma has already dropped hints about when the game takes place, it's clearly something they've thought through

Man I really don't give a shit about Hyrule.

Guys what if there's a FOURTH timelines split?

Then why post about it?

...

I'm sorry that people have fun talking about a game series they like, user.

He probably got with Malon in the Child timeline. Thats why descendant is a simple hearder, in roughly the same place as her ranch if you consider the ruins of the temple of time

Funny, I just watched that movie recently while playing Twilight Princess. I really appreciate your post user, thank you for contributing to the thread.

With a 4th triforce piece :o

o shit

Yes but I don't think Easter Eggs to things that don't fit what it winds up being means the answer is "Actually it's a nexus where branching timelines merge". Like at least one of the posters I responded to thinks.

Because that's the same as a nonanswer to the tune of "It's takes place after all of them simultaneously"

Despite a official timeline, zelda universe is fuck too open, its ages from game to game, like, SS is the beginning of time and WW is 100 years after OoT. The official timeline doesn't make any sense and it is there just to pease the fandom.

Doesn't the child timeline lead to him leaving Hyrule following Ganondorf's banishment to the Twilight Realm? I thought that's how he ended up in Termina? And the Links aren't descended from one another, they're reincarnated. It's fully possible for a new Link to appear even if the previous one died without ever having children.

Maybe this one is the Hero of Time's replacement for dying/disappearing in the downfall or adult timelines.

Guys, guys... What if this involves some time travel fuckery?
Like, you get sent back to OoT by the Sheikah to kill Ganondorf at birth or something and whatever you end up doing causes OoT Link to fail and die?

It's a Grandfather Paradox, but it explains why Link's failure is canon in one timeline.

>timeline 2a: hyrule thoroughly fucked up, Wind Waker events occur
>timeline 2b: hyrule mostly fucked up, BotW events occur

lazy devs

I mean it's possible. It is Nintendo.

I hope these weird dog mole things come back. they're funny.

>The official timeline doesn't make any sense
It does though. There's some small inconsistencies since they obviously didn't implement it till OoT at least but the broad strokes are all there.

Man, I wish OoT link wasn't so fucked.

At least he became a total badass

i honestly doubt it, it makes sense for TP Link's background but it just doesn't seem like something HoT would do. his life is literal shit. he would probably die childless and alone in a forest.

It happens at a time that's equivalent to when Wind Waker took place.

And they really don't care about the timeline and are just throwing whatever they want into the game because fuck it why not?

Link is a fucking PSYCHO MURDERER
>webm related
I also hate butterflies or any flying insect

What happens to him after all of his knowledge is passed onto TP Link? Does he get to enjoy an afterlife with the Sages?

Not sure why he had regrets. dude saves the future and an alternate dimension. I'd be pretty happy with my accomplishments especially when lon lon ranch seems like a cool place to live.

The new Link is a naked arsonist.

But thats the thing man, you don't know what those regrets are, why he was still stuck in that moral plane till a new link rose up.

on one hand this feels hilariously evil
on the other this feels like sweet revenge for those random bomb butterflies in mario 64

He probably wanted to do more or settle down and have a family, or have a progeny. Saving the world at the cost of literally everything that you are is a pretty raw deal. I doubt he has regrets as a hero, but more as a person.

>tfw navi randomly leaving is the cause of his regrets.

the Hero of time hasn't suffered user he was just doing his duty to hyrule waiting to find a worthy successor, he knew rest would come when his job was done
