remind me again why people give a fuck about zelda continuity

This is explained in-game, my nigga.

/thread

the explanation is "he just has it"

The game just calls it a "Divine Prank" and leaves it at that. I think Link going back in time as a holder of a piece of Triforce into the new timeline kind of fucked with reality and broke it in both the adult and child timelines.

There's a different between having the full triforce and having a piece of it. The full triforce was held in the Sacred Realm until Link and Zelda came of age and were worthy of holding the individual pieces assigned to them long ago in Skyward Sword. In Twilight Princess, he only had the piece of Power, and successfully defeated Zelda so as to get Wisdom. This baited Link (Courage) to the castle, but ultimately the power of friendship and magic light swords beat Ganondorf.

The gods gave it to him for unknown reasons. He doesn't "just have it", it's given to him.

We don't know WHY it's given to him, however. A few things like that happen in Twilight Princess. The last Zelda game that had an air-tight story with no plot holes was The Wind Waker. Breath of the Wild has so many plot holes that it's ridiculous, but it's still the best game in the series on the basis of its GODLIKE gameplay.

>Link comes back in time, still with the Triforce of Courage
>the Triforce thus separates and Wisdom and Power go to the most worthy, with Zelda and Ganondorf being unaware
>Ganondorf's piece awakens on the brink of death

I love Zelda so much, but at this point, I wish BoTW was a reboot. It's drastically different, and it's seemingly mixing contradictory elements from all timelines; not to mention the fact that Hylia is literally everywhere in BoTW, but all traces of Hylia's worship are wiped from history, even before Ocarina of Time.

You have to also consider that any contradictions within games pre-Skyward Sword can be justified by saying that they didn't have a timeline, and were just making stories within Zelda. Any contradictions could be justified by saying "it's a legend, and things have changed with word of mouth". The minute we got a timeline, that was ruined.

>just a divine prank bro

sweet lore nintendo, i must say

see the bottom half of That doesn't excuse the fact that Breath of the Wild makes no sense, however

When the Triforce split, it gave a piece to every Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf in every alternate timeline, even if at the time they didn't know it.

Thats a popular fan theory, anyway,

actual mythology is just the gods being dicks for super petty reasons so Nintendo is in good company.

wut? the triforce leaves him as zelda transports him back to the past. thats why the pieces are broken up in ww.

also, it wouldn't be that timelines triforce. if it was true. there would be 2 triforce pieces of courage in the child timeline, which wouldn't make sense. its never been stated that the triforce transcends time.

no ending botw spoilers pls, i wish the game was about convergence and they fixed the timeline shit. its convoluted and its too confusing for newer fans. for us autists its ok, but still, fix that shit nintendo

>ganondorf is generic evil bad guy who just wants to kill everyone and take over the world in oot
>wind waker expands on his character, gives him depth and almost makes the player empathize with him
>TP turns him back into generic evil bad guy who just wants to kill everyone and take over the world
>BoTW just turns him into an angry cloud

I always wondered. Going by the theory the triforce goes to the most suitable user, does that mean the reason the triforve of power left Ganondorf was because he got himself beaten too hard?

As in because of being beaten up so much, the triforce no longer saw him as powerful and as a result, unworthy.

Does that make sense or was it mainly due to the master sword being evils bane?

when does it leave him?

If you got trashed enough times by the same guy again and again , you would change your game plan.

Ganondorf did not work. He got a 7 year victory in oot but still got beaten in the end. I know if I had the memories of all my defeats I would spaz out too.

Going full Ganon and discarding his personality was the best he could do. 0 restraints, max power and a 100 year victory after getting a body count higher than all your previous forms combined.

HE DINDU NUFFIN

SO DEEP!!!!!!!

Twilight princess. He got beaten up something major and as he is standing with the master sword impaling him, the triforce fades and leaves him. He dies standing.

Triforce isn't bound by timelines, when dorf stole it in the adult timeline TPs got his
At least that how I figured it since it made sense enough

>implying Ganondorf was telling the truth in WW
He was lying and you're a fucking idiot for believing him.

You can see the Triforce of Power on his hand in the epilogue, look closely.
The Adult timeline Triforce was broken up, Link regained it when he went back to the past, and caused the Triforce from his timeline to break as well, which caused Ganondorf to get it.

FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THE ROYAL FAMILY IS EVIL

*triforce of courage, my bad.

Duurrr the he never stole the complete triforce that would have granted him his wish. The triforce of power was still in him.

It splits when someone isn't of pure heart or some bullshit and the piece most fitting to the person is left with that, the other 2 are literally the most suitable
Dorf kind of just ends up with it not exactly deserving if it

Hasn't he always had access to the power of the triforce of power? Isn't the whole thing that they each have one piece, but all three together is what he wants?

I see. Just thought that was a potential reason why it fizzled out on him the end of TP. Pretty powerful before the final battle but after being tossed around, much less so.

Not always. Oot he didnt when link warned zelda. He was subdued by common gaurds. If he had the triforce he would have totalled the entire army.

all the timelines spawn off of OoT and they all spawn after he has obtained his piece.

you fat nigger

The split in the triforce carried over Link's time leap. He even has the triforce of courage in the end credits. That's not part of his default model. It's also why they heeded his words. So the other pieces would naturally go to someone else right? Christ, Sup Forums. Zelda continuity is a mess but this one is basic.

meant for

Nope, the earlier games only have him with the Trident of power having gotten bitch smacked earlier

ONLY A GERUDO DEALS IN ABSOLUTES!

>link prevents ganondorf from stealing the triforce
>gods still give him the triforce anyway
>other timeline, ganondorf breaks free
>people pray for help so ganondorf doesn't kill everyone.
>gods flood world and kill everyone.
are hylians as retarded as muslims?

That statement contradicts itself.

Wouldn't this imply someone else would get the Triforce of Power?

Anyone who takes any zelda game as being part of a series and not a retelling of the same story is a fool. Zelda is basically a fairy tale where the same elements are used to vary degrees from game to game. Any explanation of a timeline requires you to suspend your disbelief to imagine the geography of Hyrule changing radically every single game.

A much more plausible explanation, and one supported by the actual development, is that each game is essentially independent (except, for instance, Majora's Mask) and had little specific continuity until the developers caved to fan speculation and made their own timeline to hype an underwhelming product (Skyward Sword).

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

Yes. But that's not really important within the context of the game. The next wielder also wouldn't necessarily be evil.

No one cares what a special snowflake you are.

In all fairness, polytheistic religions always have gods being total assholes, so Din being a cheeky bitch and giving the triforce of power to Demise's chosen monster man just for the fuck of it all seems realistic enough.

Could be argued that she wanted to choose someone that would not work together with the other two chosen ones so the Triforce wasn't just slapped together for free wishes. Why the reincarnation of eternal evil? So she wouldn't have to choose a new person every time her choice died!

But muh spin-off game with Triforce of Power protagonist.

>The next wielder also wouldn't necessarily be evil.
It would be impossible for somebody with the Triforce of Power in hand to control them self. Just imagine all that power in your hand and the only faggot that can stop you, doesn't even know you exist.

final game in the series, link, ganon, and zelda team up the kill the gods because they're assholes.

But my Oracles waifus.

I have waited a long time for this, my little green friend.

>just wanted a home for his people that would stop them from dying to sandstorms every fuckin day
>his people stay in the desert upon usurping the throne and he goes nuclear, turning the land into a hellscape

Adult-timeline ganon is most three dimensional ganon

When someone tries to use the Triforce, but isn't balanced in the 3 aspect, the Triforce splits and the attempted wish maker gets the piece that best represents him while two other people get the other pieces, forcing the original guy to track them down so he can reassemble the Triforce and finally use it. This is directly told to us in OoT, so we know that's what happened in the case of that game. Since Ganon was stopped before reaching the Triforce in the TP timeline, it should still chilling out whole in the Sacred Realm until the gods apparently decided to fuck everyone over.

Y-you liked my game, r-right Sup Forums?

In Twilight Princess, his coup failed and his people were slaughtered. He was sentenced to be executed but it failed, and he was instead banished to the shadow realm by the six sages of exodia. He has quite a bit of justification for being fucking pissed.
