Hi Sup Forums

Hi Sup Forums,
I have been reading and watching quite a few Timeline placements for Botw, basically they are all torn between placing it in the childhood or the defeated hero timeline.

Im curious what you guys think

>inb4 autistic wwfags shit the thread up insisting it is adult timeline because muh rock salt

Wouldnt even be hard to make that argument invalid lol

It's not hard to make any adult timeline argument invalid, people just refuse to listen and cling to muh whale bones and muh rock salt

no one has ever given me a good answer as to how this could be adult timeline given that hyrule doesn't exist anymore in the adult timeline

Sages from OoT being mentioned means it's probably not the child timeline.

Adult timeline is hard because of new hyrule.

Downfall timeline has Ganon, a sword in the woods, and uh, that's mostly it. Downfall arguments are more about it just not being a great fit for child or adult.

Well p sure the "twilight" was mentioned in botw. Sounds like childhood timeline to me.

But then again, Zelda addresses Link as the Hero of Hyrule at the end of the game, and to my knowledge, the hero of hyrule was Link in Zelda I and II

Its the most plausible that it is Downfall considering that line has the least evidence against it and this game is an obvious callback to Zelda 1 which is in that line.

Well, they got New Hyrule in the adult timeline and Impa speaks about 10k years passing...
Idk after 10k years new Hyrule might has become just "Hyrule" again.

But nothing else aside from the koroks and ritos and the rock salt supports adult timeline which are a kinda invalid point to begin with

Thos three arguments are more than good enough, though.

So, Hylians exist longer than humans yet are still living in fucking medieval villages.

Are they white niggers? Basically bizarro elves?

>Rock salt
There was an ancient Sea in SS
>Koroks
Forest Spirits that can change form whenever.
>Rito
This one is legitimately hard to argue BUT they did add the mural in TP and Zelda 2 had Fokka in them so the Rito still evolving but in a different way is still plausible.

Zelda keeps talking user. Non-English subtitles make it clear, she mentions WW and ALttP. It's been posted dozens of times. Bringing up how she said twilight is just about as convincing as the place names at this point.

I believe the timeline is "real", but the only game I'm not 100% sold of fitting in is Four Swords Adventures after TP. what the fuck is going on there.

>what the fuck is going on there
Capcom. Their games are the only ones not connected in any meaningful way.

It's hard to build tech when earth shattering apocalypses happen every couple hundred years

who fucking cares? nintendo retcon their whole stories and these nintweenyearolds eat it up like the suckers they are

fuck you OP

Why not just fucking off if you dont care?

Rock salt comes from the acient sea, not the great sea. Acient sea should be the one in SS.

Koroks are also featured in Albw

Ritos are evolved zoras they could technically appear in every zelda that features zoras

>muh rock salt
Like fucking clockwork

Its obviously on the calamity timeline

Its Fallen Hero Timeline Fag is Easy to know

I said this before the game came out, it is a convergence of timelines. that is why elements of all the timelines are present. Rutos and Zora, Twilight Princess architecture, LonLon Ranch ruins and even a reference to a great flood potentially happening.

>inb4 4th timeline split

So you think its some kinda reunified timeline?

>BoTW takes place thousands of years after Link in Adventure of Link fails and lets Ganon be resurrected.

You know this to be true.

AHA. So you agree that Africans aren't inferior since they have it way harder down there and that crime rates aren't a proof of immigrants being more prone to crime since they're also poorer.

...

exactly, just like how everything branches out from OoT, everything branches back in on BotW.

Like this

Makes sense somehow.
I mean, I will admit, I'm a bit of a poor fag so unless I win in a lottery i doubt i get to play botw any time soon. I had to get my knowledge so far from various videos of gameplay, cutscenes that have been edited together etc.

Not exactly sure how Zelda references WW like some user above said.
However, I recall SS, Oot and TP being referenced in the same sentence at some point.
I think the references to the downfall timeline are also pretty clear...
I kinda just lack the adult timeline stuff, since as I also said before everything that would lead to the adult timeline can be made invalid quite easily...
As Koroks are kokiris that transform in great danger which calamity ganon is.
Ritos are if i remember correctly a branch of the zoras so they could technically be where ever zoras are.
And the rock salt is from the acient sea, but the sea in WW and PH is known to be the great sea. Acient Sea sounds more like the acient sea from SS to me. Even though after ten thousands of years, the great sea might also be acient...

> water floods everything
> recedes over 10,000 years
> New Hylians excavate old Hylia

I don't think it's that bad of an idea, whats the evidence to the contrary?

To add to that, didnt they also add up a botw reference in TP HD?
Wouldnt make sense to me if botw plays after TP...
Idk some things just confuse the fuck outta me atm

Old Hyrule doesnt exist after WW anymore. Its been vanished like the king wished. Which is why New Hyrule is a thing in Spirit tracks

There's a picture of a bird person in TP, that's all.

Hylians are just humans with pointy ears that the godesses "gifted" them. Apart from the ears and that they can use magic they are exactly the same. There's a quote from Aonuma about how he specifically doesn't want Hylians to be referred to as elves floating around but I can't be arsed to find it.

Yet Hylians also become a lot older than humans

probably because they got magic abilites from their godesses which enable them to live longer, not because of an inherent biological racial trait
