this is a really cool video explaining the timeline of the story in Zelda games.38 minutes long but worth it IMO.

Fuck Legend of Zelda it's not even a good series. I mean the main character is a fucking boy named Zelda? What the fuck is that? Bullshit. Fucking Mario Party is so much better.

probably just the notation?
 
I don't know...I want it to be a little less video-gamey. I know that's weird since it's from a video game...but I've got a really cool idea in mind that will look awesome.
 
I was just explaining the timeline to one of my friends earlier today, great timing! Best game series ever
 
i was a bit late for the NES ones, although i did play them a bit on my uncle's old console. i remember getting OoT for Christmas in elementary school, after that ive played Minish Cap (meh) Windwaker (awesome), a bit of but never finished MM and TP, and will start Skyward Sword as soon as my bro brings a fkn Wiimote home from school.

play Windwaker though, its awesome
 
i definitely watched the whole thing. i dont like the creation of the "fallen hero" timeline, as it seems decidedly convenient to throw that in even though it doesn't really fit into the actual events of ocarina of time.

but any way, i was thinking, they should totally do a prequel to everything about the origins of link like they did zelda and ganon. they said that zelda is a mortal reincarnation is of the goddess hylia, and that ganon is a reincarnation of demise or some shit like that. it'd be neat if they could go back further and some how tie those characters to some god of courage who later became the mortal known as link.

that way, you'd essentially have a story where the god of courage (maybe husband to farore, the goddess who later took part in the creation of hyrule with the triforce of courage) becomes a mortal whose mission is to spread courage and enforce the law beset by his wife through his own heroic example as link has always done.

and then with a final chapter to finish the series once and for all, link needs to somehow bring the triforce back together and destroy all three parts of it, including himself and the princess. the whole "all or nothing" kind of thing. you can't just kill ganon while the triforce of power remains. he'll keep being reincarnated as that's the continuous cycle we've seen throughout the series. as long as there's a triforce of power, there will be evil lusting to control it. having the three united and all destroyed once and for all (like the ring in the lord of the rings) would put an end to it. destroy the triforce, peace finally comes to the land.

idk im tired and just thinking about zelda way too much right now.
 
It all sounds plausible...except for the part where Link has to kill himself and Zelda.

I don't really think that would fly very well hahaha
 
well not kill himself, just make the ultimate sacrifice. ok, so yeah, kill himself. but knowing that it'll rid the world of evil forever. the three become one and are unmade together, CAST IN TO THE PIT FROM WHENCE IT CAME.

fuck if i know. i just thought it'd be a neat end for the franchise. link, ganon, and zelda will forever be connected because of the triforce so that's the only way i see it working.
 
End the franchise?!

They're making so much money by hammering out these sub-par Zelda games now for insignificant systems. Every few years we get a good one, but it's mostly shit now. It would be great if they ended it with some cool story, but they won't, because money.
 
Yeah it was typo back when I made it, looked at it afterward and said "well this is unfortunate, but kind of unique!" However I eventually got tired of seeing the false impressions it gave so I switched it altogether
 
not really, just a remake of a link to the past with a few tacky add ons.. they already made a remake for the game boy advance, so just buy that if you want to play

a new game has been hinted for the wii U though, but it probably won't come out until 2014/2015
