This game is just DLC for BOTW. Don't believe me? It's all in the numbers (of cutscenes).

According to the timeline the only Link that can be defeated is the one in Ocarina of Time.

Regarding Ganondorf, I think there's a chance this is an origin story of sorts for him, which would make the thematic connections to SS (which had Zelda and Link's origins) even more relevant Ever since the tapestry was showed 6 years ago people have speculated that the red-haired hero was actually Ganondorf, and that the Zonai either worshipped him or he was related to their kingdom is some way. This latest trailer provides even more hints of that: - Zelda is seemingly sent back in time, likely to the time of the Zonai / 10,000 years ago, in that weird chamber dehydrated Ganondorf is imprisoned in, suggesting he's also connected to that era - He has a tear like the other champions, suggesting he was perhaps one of the champions before being corrupted - There is a notable difference between the evil figure shown early in the trailer (during the huge blood moon) and Ganondorf proper. The former is more monstrous, has much different hair, a different profile, and they purposefully cut away before the face reveal. The first figure reminds me of Demise actually Blaziken386 posted:also my number one hope for TotK is that they make rain not be absolutely terrible yeah. it was a neat gimmick leading up to Zora's Domain and the area with all those thunderstorms, but it was far too punishing and annoying elsewhere. the intention was probably to throw a monkey wrench in your exploration strategy so that "climb to highest place" wasn't always the answer, but in practical terms it often was the only answer, so you ended up just waiting the storm out, which was boring

The Zelda Timeline is funny because of how transparently obvious it is that they made it up long after the fact and had to force all the games into it. I don't mind the idea of long-term Zelda Lore, but it's still pretty funny seeing people attempt to do serious Lore Analysis based off of the timeline.

There's a small leak (it's for a US video ad for TotK) that shows a few extra scenes that we haven't seen yet. The 3-headed dragon is explicitly Gleeok, as Link's fighting a Flame Gleeok in the spot, the dark underground scene shows a Z coordinate of -470 so we do seem to go fairly deep and also can light up the way with arrow fusions?, and Link's seen sporting that wild long hair with the Champion's Tunic.

One of the best things about the Zelda series I how much is (deliberately) left unexplained. A monolithic statue is missing from the desert and its giant sword is found miles away on top of a snowy mountain? gently caress yeah. Do love me a good Zelda theory YouTube video, though.

Blaziken386 posted:its incredibly ramshackle and contrived but thats what makes it fun. like yes obviously every game is standalone but what if I feel like there must have been some way to create the timelime without the three separate branches. Like just place everything that could have happened at any point as having occurred prior to OoT. IIRC only Windwaker really introduces a big thing that would be incompatible with many of the other games happening after it.

Timeline theories were floating around before they confirmed or wrote a timeline out for themselves and us, because it's not that hard to slot them together in that fashion, even without intention people were able to notice patterns for themselves. It's not even notable for a fictional works later additions to have to alter or add something in not planned or originally revealed. People accept Empire Strikes Back as all time epic twist, not all-time bullshit rear end-pull. Humans taking established myths and filling in the gaps with imagination and tenuous threads is the oldest most humany storytelling thing around. Folks had theories and stuff about Gilgamesh that the priests weren't necessarily writing down but everyone could believe.

OoT pretty tidily created two timelines. It is just really funny that they decided there was a third timeline for "Link loving died" to resolve where most of the the 2d games should go.

Honestly Ganondorf getting a new design here is a pretty big deal. It’s been 17 years since he got a new design in a mainline game.

The bullshit part of the timeline is adding the third downfall line to explain why LttP's described Imprisoning War doesn't 100% match what they later wrote in OoT. Otherwise most of the games all along explicitly mentioned being a sequel or prequel to a previous one, and the couple that didn't also just didn't really make a difference where they went.

Yeah, you could just slot the 2D games in after TP and it wouldn't really make a difference. The Imprisoning War involving like 12 people total is funny and contradicts LttP but there's a lot of early stuff that gets handwaved anyways so who cares.

tsob posted:I haven't played it since it released, but I remember really liking both Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, and don't even remember having any issue with the track travel gimmick. Is there any word on them getting a release on Switch, either as a collection or as part of the online catalog? I wish they would rerelease them, but I haven't even heard any rumors about that. I liked the rest of Spirit Tracks, especially the dungeons, but every time I went back to replay it I just got to a certain point fighting enemy trains or something and just gave up. Plus, it just completely rubs me the wrong way to for the overworld in an explicitly exploration-centric franchise to literally be on rails. But, I'd still love to revisit it and give it another chance, if I had an easier way to do that.

I feel like everything that made heavy use of the touchscreen or just having two screens is going to be trapped forever on the DS family and WiiU. I know that they can be emulated but it doesn't quite have the polished, just so, experience I'd expect Nintendo to want.

Blaziken386 posted:its incredibly ramshackle and contrived but thats what makes it fun. like yes obviously every game is standalone but what if Yeah, exactly and the only reason it's overly convoluted is due to the early titles. Every game from OoT onward has had a pretty explicit place in the series timeline (even the handheld games), no real guesswork required. It's something Nintendo is intentionally doing, though that doesn't make it any less slapdash BotW has been the one exception to that, and it's been fun to speculate why. TotK is only adding more fuel to the speculation fire

Augus posted:four swords apparently being after twilight princess is the funniest imo. it's just completely arbitrary I mean tbf after TP or Zelda 2 are the only places it can really fit. You need it to be post OoT, in Hyrule and with Ganon dead. The first Four Swords is before OoT but the second involves both Vaati and Ganon being revived.

It's funny because if they just timeline'd the main games and said stuff like Link's Awakening, Four Swords, etc was all just in-universe folk tales or in a separate side universe or whatever nobody except the absolutely gooniest of nerds would care, and it would make the whole thing much neater. That's essentially what Mega Man did with it's own timeline: it's Classic > X > Zero > ZX > Legends and everything else they've made is just treated as AU.

The weird third Downfall timeline makes sense if you remember that there is more than one instance of time travel in Ocarina of Time to potentially cause a timeline branch. Namely, accessing the Spirit Temple. If I remember right, you have to go there as an adult, realize you can't actually get in because the door's locked, go back in time to fit through a gap as a child, and that opens the way for you when you go back forward to the Adult timeframe. I don't think it's possible to pre-open the way in advance before the seven-year timeskip, you HAVE to go back in time to do this. This means that there's a fork in the timeline where Adult Link gets to a door he can't get past, and just... disappears from history entirely, while the door gets opened for some OTHER divergent timeline. Ganondorf never gets defeated in that timeline because Link just sorta bailed, even if he wasn't aware that's how time travel works.

Namely, accessing the Spirit Temple. (i don't think that counts because link switching back and forth would potentially create an infinite number of timelines in that case. I'm assuming the main branch only happens because link explicitly gets sent back by zelda at the end instead of doing it himself.) edit: actually yeah, now that i think about it, the past/future OoT state is triggered by the master sword, not the ocarina. But zelda plays the ocarina at the end and uses THAT to send you back, and that only happens once. Blaziken386 fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Apr 14, 2023 |
