Its a direct sequel to Ocarina of Time

Its a direct sequel to Ocarina of Time

You play as the Hero of Time after hes defeated by Ganon.

Trust me.

Fuck off, the only sequel of Ocarina is Majora's mask

Yes? Everyone agrees about that.

clearly not
What about Wind Waker?

>It's a "Zelda has a coherent timeline" episode

How challenged do you have to be to have a hard time following the zelda timeline. Its the most straight forward shit

Im still hoping its a Wind Waker sequel. There is not enough shit going on in that timeline

>What about Wind Waker?
Not a direct sequel. It's about as direct of a sequel to OoT as Twilight Princess is, and both of them feature different Links from the hero of time. It does use heavy symbolism to show that, yes, this takes place after OoT like the opening cutscene implied, but there isn't exactly much beyond that connecting the two, so it is about as much of an OoT sequel as Twilight Princess.

The only realistic options at this point (if Aonuma saying that we've seen this Link before still holds true) are the Hero of Time and the Link from Zelda 1/2.

It's not, WW has had direct sequels you fucking faggot and Aonuma has explicitly stated that it has nothing to do with the adult timeline

WWfags are the most obnoxious Zelda fans.

>Inb4 "B-B-But muh koroks... M-M-Muh rito..."
These idiots act like they're exclusive to the Adult timeline. This mural in TP proves otherwise.

What's worse is fucking retards like who want it to be a sequel despite the fact that there are 2 sequels to WW and neither of them are in Hyrule. In fact, Hyrule no longer exists in that timeline

The land in Spirit Tracks is called Hyrule.

God damn you fucker I was just voicing my opinion. No need to get up and arms like a fucking spaz. I didn't mean I wanted it to come right after WW, I just wanted it in that timeline

Zelda has a timeline?

I'd be more willing to say its after Majora's Mask, after link returns to Hyrule let it grow for a few years. He looks way too young in this to be older than OoT link

Yes, but that one isn't the original fucking Hyrule from the up to after Ocarina of Time. It's a new Hyrule on a new continent. Even if the game did take place in that new Hyrule, it wouldn't explain where the flying fuck all these railways went between Spirit Tracks and Breath of the Wild.

The popular WW theory is that the hyrule we play in BotW is the original hyrule after the great sea dries up for some reason

Trust isn't in my vocabulary... but I feel it in my heart to "trust" on you.

Zelda looks pregnant because she's pregnant and that happened in the past and is actually a different Zelda from the one you encounter ingame which is your descendant

leak when???????

The whole plot exists because of OoT Zelda's decision to send Link back in time. It has characters from that era helping Link along the way and he has to make a name for himself since he's no Hero of Time. It relies on Ocarina more than Majora's Mask did.

Hopefully not until I finish the game

>the Link from Zelda 1/2.
Which wouldn't make any sense since Ganon dies in 1 and he stays the fuck dead during 2.

>implying that would make me lust for her any less

If you've never beaten or seen the ending of Ocarina you likely won't get it. It hinges on a type of time travel where every decision creates a split in time instead of overwriting one continuous string like back to the future.

...

prove it faggot, post some pictures you are avtually playng ZELDA BOTW

And you wanting in that timeline signifies how much of a flaming homosexual you are

Saria and Ruto aren't those sages you encounter in the dungeons. Literally the only OoT character to reappear in it in person is Ganondorf. And no, don't give me the fucking excuse that these sages are the same as Ruto and Saria. The stained glass art in the temple of time confirms that they're different, and Saria definitely wasn't a fucking dude so you can't argue around that either.

Now, Majora's Mask has the Hero of Time, the Skull Kid AND the Happy Mask Salesman, so the connections are already bigger on that front.

Daily reminder Happy Mask Salesman is the final boss.

>Saria definitely wasn't a fucking dude
Did you check?

You're forgetting the Deku Tree.

I don't feel like Nintendo gives enough of a fuck to connect the games so I don't really do it either. They don't give a fuck if the Temple of Time is right next to Hyrule Castle in one game, or on the complete opposite side of Hyrule in another. They don't care if Death Mountain is right next door to the Lost Woods or if they're opposite in another game. They don't care if the Master Sword is in the Temple of Time in one game, or the Lost Woods in another (I guess a sword can be moved, but it seems weird that it has multiple locations where it can be sealed away by the gods) Their official timeline is just pulled out of their ass, the games are only loosely related at best.

The stained glass depiction of the sages just make it seem more and more like an oot sequel.

Nintendo doesn't give a shit about a timeline, they just slap them all together afterwards and let the fans fill in the gaps

It's a legend dude. That's why there are inconsistencies when it comes to specific geographical features, locations and building descriptions.

I actually wouldn't mind that.

Oh shit, I forgot about him. That makes, what, two characters from OoT? Still less than in Majora's Mask.
A distant sequel, yes. Kinda like how A Link to the Past is a distant prequel to the first game and Link's Adventure.

How retard are you to believe the creators actually give a shit about "timeline".

It was just weird in Skyward Sword especially. You're basically creating the Master Sword, which is kinda badass, and you're gonna be the first hero to seal it away. So as that's happening at the end of the game, you're thinking it's all cool and you can imagine OoT Link coming and pulling it out, but then you realize that there already is a Temple of Time in the game and it's not where you just sealed the sword. Okay, so maybe you're planting it for ALttP Link to come and pull it out? You might be where the Lost Woods will some day be, and this building will erode and no longer exist, but the Master Sword is so powerful it stays there. But Ocarina of Time comes before ALttP in the time line so no, this shouldn't be in the woods at all. I'm not sure what happens in Minish Cap or Four Swords so maybe I'm being unfair.

You know like thousands of years take place in between SS and all the other games, don't you? The Master Sword doesn't even appear in Minish Cap nor in Four Swords. Somebody else may have moved it sometime during that huge time period.

Right-handed. This is either Twilight Princess Link, Skyward Sword Link, or more likely a brand-new Link.

Miyamoto sure, but Koizumi did. And he did a pretty good job before Wind Waker made everyone ask how the NES games could take place in a flooded Hyrule. And thus the fanbase went out to answer this question and the rest is history.

>Trust me, my uncles works for Nintendo

>Somebody else may have moved it sometime during that huge time period.
So some random fag moved it from the Sealed Grounds in SS to the Temple of Time in OoT? No one is supposed to be able to do that except Link. Maybe the goddesses did or something, I guess.

Maybe OoT Link was ambidextrous all this time.

The fact that the Temple of Time in SS is in a fucking desert didn't tip you off that it might be a different one? The Sealed Temple is where the people from Skyloft settled. They built what would eventually become Castle Town around it.

Or a previously unknown Link did it.

>Temple of Time is in market town in Ocarina of Time
>Temple of Time is in the Lost Woods in Twilight Princess

>Its a direct sequel to Ocarina of Time
>You play as the Hero of Time after hes defeated by Ganon.
That game exists already, it's called Majora's Mask.

The timeline where Ganon is defeated in OoT has no Hero of Time. It's the timeline that leads to Wind Waker.

I don't even like this fucking series and I know this

Your theory makes sense since it is effectively another Temple of Time, where a time portal was also summoned. But it was just confusing that there was already a named one.

Ganondorf is sealed away before he can even get the Triforce in that timeline.

In other words you don't know fucking shit.

>I don't even like this fucking series and I know this
Evidently you don't, because everything you just said is dead fucking wrong.

He's talking about the Downfall timeline Nintendo pulled out of their ass to put the classic games in their own corner and for them to feel relevant without the modern games shitting up their saga.

Do you know what "direct" sequel means when talking about Zelda?

I do think that's true.

OP speaking dubs of truth.

If it's the same Link dealing with an alternate ending to Ocarina it would be a direct sequel.

>You play as the Hero of Time after hes defeated by Ganon.
>That game exists already, it's called Majora's Mask.
MM isn't even on a timeline where OoT Link faces Ganon. After returning to the past, Young Link manages to warn everybody about Ganondorf, stopping him before he can do anything. Link then goes forth on his MM adventure, and the rest of the world eventually progresses to TP (after MM, OoT Link becomes the Hero's Shade in TP).

Takes place generations later.

Also as already said, don't forget that this is the LEGEND of Zelda. Things like specific locations aren't supposed to be literal

Majors mask is the timeline that's created when Zelda sends link back to be a kid. The defeated timeline is a separate third.

There are ruins around the temple that actually track very closely to the castle town, also there is a castle like structure not too far from the temple of time.

While we're talking about timelines. It feels like some unreleased Zelda game happened between MM and TP since the triforce split in the Child timeline and went to TP Link and Zelda which allowed Ganondorf to get the power piece.

When does she look pregnant?

Link's Awakening Link is the Link from this game.

>It feels like some unreleased Zelda game happened between MM and TP since the triforce split in the Child timeline and went to TP Link and Zelda which allowed Ganondorf to get the power piece.
I don't think there was ever a reason for why this happened, nor does there really need to be. Even in universe, they acknowledge that Ganondorf getting the Triforce of Power was simply, to the best of the sages' knowledge, simply a "Divine Prank".

>You play as the Hero of Time after hes defeated by Ganon.

if only it was fem link then this doujin would be canon

Your comment made me realize what is actually going on. Zelda doesn't send Link back to the past, she instead sends him to the future ala Samurai Jack.

WARNING: EXTREME AUTISM BELOW

Zelda 2 was a direct sequel to Zelda 1.
ALttP was always a prequel to Zelda 1.
Link's awakening was always a sequel to ALttP, both featuring the same Link.
OoT was always a prequel to ALttP.
MM was a direct sequel to OoT, featuring the same Link.
WW and TP both established themselves in-game to be sequels to MM and OoT, respectively. (this is where storyline connections to previously released games became more pronounced)
PH is a direct sequel to WW, and ST is a sequel to PH.
For most of the other zelda games their position was not well established.

Prior to Hyrule Historia officially establishing a timeline, theorists' goal was to figure out (using the above information, developer quotes, and in-game material) how the mainline games could be part of the same timeline when there are some games that have conflicting information.

That's where the split timeline theory came from: it allowed for WW/PH/ST to continue from the "7 years in the future" point where Link awakened the sages and sealed Ganondorf in the Sacred Realm (aka the Adult Timeline) and for the events of MM and TP to follow from the "present time" point, where Link was sent back in time to in order to regain his lost childhood (aka the Child Timeline). It also rectified the conflicting information between WW/PH/ST and MM/TP.

What remained unsolved was 1) which of these two branches in the timeline the ALttP/Z1/Z2 events belonged to, and 2) where the Capcom-developed Zelda games (i.e. Four Swords series, Oracles of Ages/Seasons) fit. Hyrule Historia showed that the ALttP/Z1/Z2 games did not go in the Adult or Child branches, but in a third branch called the Downfall Timeline (itself stemming from the Adult branch) where OoT Link was defeated by Ganondorf. It also showed where the Capcom games fit. Understandably, a lot of people saw this as a copout.

t. Faggot who dabbled in timeline theory at GameFAQs back when he didn't know any better.

...

When Link travels back from the Adult Timeline to the Child Timeline, he still has the Triforce of Courage - we clearly see the emblem still on his hand. However he couldn't have brought the ToC back from the Adult Timeline because we see that it's in Wind Waker. Somehow, Zelda sending Link back at the end of Ocarina causes Link to get the Triforce of Courage in that timeline. We can only assume then that because Link has the ToC still in the child timeline, this means the Triforce isn't whole. This is why the divine prank happens.

Only retards that don't get how clothing works think this makes her look pregnant. This happens because the clothing tapers out after the belt and isn't skin tight. Look at a really buff dude wearing a t-shirt, the t-shirt drapes off his pecs, making his torso look a lot wider than it actually is

The goddesses simply gave ganondorf the triforce cause they liked him.

He wasnt anywhere near the sacred realm. He was in the process of being executed. Goddesses saved his life.

More like she sends link back in time but really just his soul; his soulless adult body left behind in the future and preserved.

she's pregnant thicc user, admit it. even in her arms and breasts you can see the extra weight women put on

Her body actually looks very motherly here

Zelda also has her Triforce at the end of OoT because she can sense Link behind her this time, and holds her hand up to her mouth.

Lore trolling is only funny when it's not large scale like timeline discussion.

Any community that get their kicks out of pretending to be idiots will eventually be overwhelmed by actual idiots who mistakenly believe to be in good company.

Bro I have a pregnancy fetish and that does not look pregnant.

That piece of shit motion contoller retconned the only lefty hero ever seen in a vg.

it's a post flood wind waker where link fails/ties with ganon

screen cap my post

>Somehow, Zelda sending Link back at the end of Ocarina causes Link to get the Triforce of Courage in that timeline.
Fucking pirates.

Where did the Happy Mask Salesman find a Mario mask?

He's a Miyamoto self-insert, IIRC.

Yes but the goddesses did actually save his life.

The final link model at the end of OoT was just whatever your young link looked like. They didnt bother to do take away your bracelet or hylian shield.

Its more reasonable to assume that a technical oversight than link being sent back in time with a piece of the triforce before to a time before the triforce even split.

Also how the fuck has it just been okay for the last 19 years that princess zelda can literally manipulate spacetime yet needs a big strong man to save her from mean ole ganon when she can fucking time travel

What is this garbage

Miyamoto was the producer of Majora's Mask but didn't really lay his mitts on it creatively. Maybe one of the other devs based the mask salesman on him, but that's mostly fan speculation I believe. There's a similar theory about Tingle and Koji Kondo. I've heard both theories frequently but I don't think I've ever seen anything resembling conclusive interview evidence, although I'd LOVE to be proven wrong because it'd be neat if true.

>princess zelda can literally manipulate spacetime
It was just the mechanism that sent Link back and forth in time, but with her magic being the trigger instead of the Master Sword. She probably also was able to slightly adjust the drop point to before he met Zelda. But somehow the Spiritual Stones are already at the temple of time when you arrive, so yeah it's probably timefuckery

>The final link model at the end of OoT was just whatever your young link looked like. They didnt bother to do take away your bracelet or hylian shield

>Literally "Its more reasonable to make stuff up than take the evidence we can see with our eyes"
Nah come on fampai. When the Triforce splits, it gives the other pieces to the people it finds most worthy. Link has the Triforce of Courage when he gets sent back. This causes a split. The Goddesses didn't just give Ganondorf a slice of holy power because they wanted to suck his brown dick. The Hyrule Historia, for the record, actually confirms that Link used his acquisition of the Triforce of Courage as proof of Ganondorf's treason (which was what led to gdorf's execution in the child timeline in the first place).

It was already confirmed this is a direct sequel

I believe this theory if only because Link starts the game in a "resurrection chamber", so it would be pretty cool if this game is to the defeat timeline what TP and Windwaker were to the Child/Adult timelines.

It's really weird since I have a vague memory that in the game (OoT) one of the sages mention that whenever Link puts the Master's Sword back in place that he's not actually going back in time, but just going through the memories of it.

Are you an idiot? Do you not remember the timeline split? Traveling back in time puts Link in another timeline, but the timeline where Ganondorf took the Triforce still exists. In other words, if she were to use time travel to stop Ganondorf, she would be saving a different universe from her own.

To an extent I'm pretty sure this is true. However, Master Sword "time travel" is different to the time travel Zelda employs with the Ocarina at the end of the game.

This is what I want but I feel like the whole trial with Ganondorf from TP, and the implication that Link made it back from Termina normally debunks this. Maybe this spot could work but someone will have to explain how.
