Zora evolved into bird people when the world became 50% water

>Zora evolved into bird people when the world became 50% water


Dafuq?

I have no problem with that logic while Medli exists.

>nintendo makes a new zelda game
>decides to include a few throwbacks to old games
>autistic fans interpret this as evidence that all zelda games take place in the same universe and can be sensibly ordered chronologically
>autistic fans discover inconsistencies in their own self-concocted narrative

Wow it's almost as if there's no coherent Zelda timeline whatsoever.

damn she got them DSLs

Maybe the Goddess didn't want an aquatic race fucking with old hyrule I don't know nigga

Except that OP's logic is self-contained to one fucking game, Wind Waker, there's no timeline involved here. Wow it's almost like you don't actually play video games and only want to shitpost.

>Yo guys, why the fuck this game with literal magic in it doesn't have logic?

>fish people exist
>world floods
>fish people, instead of staying in the water, grow wings and become bird people

Didn't Zelda II have bird people? I remember them being an enemy and if I'm not remembering wrong than I'd like to believe they don't have anything to do with the Zora since that makes zero sense.

Maybe the seas became inhospitable to them? I do recall plenty of sea monsters in the WW timeline.

You are really retarded.

Except the plot and literally the intro movie is Ocarina of Time.

...

I figure the goddesses/Triforce were making sure no one could reach Hyrule by deep-sea diving. And Zoras are the best divers ever.

Explain.

This
Also the Great Sea is salt water and the zora were freshwater creatures

>50% water

Wasn't the Great Bay on the ocean? You don't typically see Pirates in freshwater lakes.

JAPAN

Nigga have you even played Wind Waker?

>king of red lions specifically mentions the hero of time
>deku tree mistakes ww link for oot link
And that's not even the cinematic itself.
Here's the truth: Twilight Princess ruined the Zelda timeline.

YELLOW HAT STRAP

I too saw game theories

are you retarded

There are Fresh Water Zora and Salt Water Zora. You don't see Salt Water Zora in WW because they were deep underwater in their vast kingdom of unending ocean. The Fresh Water Zora very little water to use so they took to the sky.

-overused slapping face animation-

they were forced to evolve by the Gods in order to keep Hyrule hidden

>50% water our earth is 75% water
if you played windwaker you would know the ratio is much more like 85-92% water

Wind Waker ruined it, because it tried to remove Hyrule thus making it so no games in Hyrule could take place after it.

I thought this was the BotW thread.

>50%
so it lost water? makes sense to fly then

why didn't the goddess just evolve ganon into a cucco

Race is a social construct, there's no such thing as zora or bird people

None of this matters because the best Zelda girl is neither Zora nor Rito.

He's right though. Fantasy games can afford some suspension of disbelief. It's when you begin to contradict the rules you set up within that world that you start to have logic problems. The Zora evolving into birds doesn't contradict any prior established "rules" within the fantasy world, so you can suspend your disbelief for them evolving into something that doesn't make any sense in the real world.

Maybe a bunch of bigass sea monsters and shit evolved that made life in the water too dangerous.

This is a dumb copout created by fans that is never said in-game

Hylia willed it.

>i've only played one zelda in my life the man
you need to be 18 to post here

could be a fresh water vs salt water thing

Yet tp does take place in Hyrule, making it the game that ruined the timeline, especially because nintendo didn't plan that from the start.

Wrong, my nigger.

Zoras evolved or rather transformed into Rito by divine intervention so that they didn't go undersea.

Also, Zoras like Ruto and his dad are actually Sea Zoras, as stated in Oracle of Ages, while the monster-like Zoras are the river Zoras, even if the Sea Zoras are shown to live in rivers as well.

Nayru got that her people needed to change to survive, so the Zora became the Rito. But she wanted her old species back when Hyrule dried out, so she split their evolution and ended up with more bird-like Rito AND Zora, which were resilient and adaptable.

Farore got that her people needed to change to survive, so the Kokiri became the Korok. She realised that she liked it this way.

DIN DIDN'T GIVE A SHIT. MY ROCKBOYS SINK? FUCK IT, THEY'RE STAYING ROCKBOYS. AND THEY SURVIVED THROUGH SHEER BALLS OF STONE.

Didn't they make an official split timeline chart to shut the autist up?

Gorons evolved into the "hylian" people who live in the great sea. Same proportions and everything. It's also why Toon Link can't swim.

True hylians drowned in the flood.

Magic is one hell of a drug.

Zoras live in fresh water, they would probably die living in saltwater.

>Atheists actually believe this shit

Gorons are still around, and hylians are separate. They both exist in PH and ST.
Link not being able to swim is a thing for some island people, and he's still a kid. He probably got washed with cold water as a kid, got a bad cold, and became afraid of water. Who knows. Maybe the devs would rather hear "why can't zelda swim" instead of "why is this game so garbage".

They're freshwater. The ocean is too salty for them

just like you

>Evolve from a floating booger into a human when earth is 70% water
Wtf

I wouldn't say there's no timeline. There is a timeline, but Nintendo doesn't really give a shit about it obviously. They do however throw random shit into the world for throwbacks and nostalgia and they have a general sense of where things should go but that's about the end of it. People shouldn't be looking into it so deeply.
