So, I'm pretty sure that the reason they start you off underground isn't just to set up Ganondorf as a threat, it also implies that the world state is the same as your completed BotW file. Which it is, technically, until Zelda's trip to the past and messing with the timestream. The Light Dragon wasn't always there until is was. The Sheika towers and shrines were always there, until they weren't. All the people Link helped were still helped, but the details are fuzzy now. Zelda never went back in the past to take part in the Imprisoning War, until she did and hosed up the timestream so bad that the Shiekah stuff got retconned out of existence and the Zonai took on a bigger role. Calamity Ganon was still around, and defeated by Link and Zelda. Their past is still the same, though it's been fuzzied to conform to the new reality. TL;DR: I read time travel in the Land of Hyrule as being more like Looper than Deja Vu. (Feel free to substitute better/different stories with similar time travel if you want.)

socialsecurity posted:The Shiekah didn't get retconned, several characters talk about it, there are some Guardian remnants still around too. The Shiekah all still live in Kakariko, obviously, and the Guardians were all a problem, but Zelda's interference has made things play out a different way. We're (probably) never going to know for sure, this just makes sense to me to explain what the game presents.

RatHat posted:No it’s pretty clearly a closed loop kind of time travel story. Zelda always helped seal Ganondorf, Zelda-dragon has always been above the cloud barrier recharging the master sword, etc. It's a closed loop now. It began at the beginning of TotK. Augus posted:the actual confusing part is what calamity ganon is supposed to be mycot posted:Calamity Ganon and TOTK Ganondorf are basically two different interpretations of the Ganon concept but the fact that they coexist and have no relation to each other feels very strange. It's all Ganondorf. They're all the same guy. It shakes out differently, as well as all the differences between TotK and BotW, based on whether or not they're in the closed loop. Whatever other game you feel would make more sense in the loop or outside of it, do that. Like Shiggy said, it doesn't really matter, time in Hyrule is kinda broken and if you're having fun, you're having fun.

RatHat posted:That’s not how closed loops work It's the bootstrap paradox, and Zelda is the Sage of Time. It's also very much like the Knot from the Netflix show Dark. None of the TotK stuff happened until it has always happened, making some of the other stuff that totally happened not things that happened in the same way if they happened at all. That's time travel in the Land of Hyrule, baby! Also yeah, it's all of secondary importance to the self-contained story each Zelda game tells. Link doesn't row, you see. Link doesn't row.

RatHat posted:There’s no evidence for this at all, and there’s evidence of the closed loop theory (Ganondorf knowing Link and the Master sword because Rauru told him about them right before being sealed, the two blocked murals that feature Zelda, ect.) so The evidence is BotW, and how they completely avoid showing you that post-Calamity Ganon world state before Zelda does her thing. It is now currently a closed loop and it is a partially erased/healed timeline because of it. BotW absolutely happened with all it's crazy Sheikah and Calamity Ganon nonsense, but also now TotK happened and overwrote some of that. Zelda's full title is the Sage of Timey-Wimey Bullshit and you are meant to enjoy the ride.

Runcible Cat posted:We're all ignoring the true Sage of Timey-Wimey Bullshit, the dude who cleared out Link's extradimensional wardrobe and dumped the contents in dozens of chests in caves all over Hyrule long enough ago that his signal banners are all manky and faded and his exploits are the stuff of rumour; Misko the Fashion Bandit. Well if you have the Triforce you get to make wishes like that. On the wind, you can hear their song...

LividLiquid posted:Okay, y'all, I have a favor to ask. You can find a lot of neat weapons if you poke around in Hyrule Castle. If you go to enough shrines you will eventually get a lot of hearts and stamina. Why don't you... figure out how to wake up the Great Fairies and figure out their whole deal? That will also really help with survivability.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, the Poe shop inventory expands in a similar way to the Great Fairy Fountains. The more you've activated, the better your options are. And you can definitely only have one each of the unique weapons at a time; you'll have to break that Bigoron Sword before the Poe statue in Lookout Landing (or elsewhere) will let you buy another, for instance.

Alxprit posted:I think the issue is that people need to decide when they are done with the game, rather than a linear game funneling you into it over time. And it's hard to decide to say "I'm ready to be done," as a personal thing. When you beat Ganon, you are done with the game. It's really as simple as that. You can keep playing because you enjoy it, but you're done when you hit credits.

There's a LOT in these newer Zelda games. Trying to do everything will probably burn you out.

I agree, but for completely different reasons. Fishing, mining, planting and harvesting, crafting: these are all Chores, and I play video games to escape Chores.

Mulaney Power Move posted:Mineru was actually the third sage I found. It wasn't intentional at all. I wanted to check out that area and just fell right into the quest. At the time, I thought it was just going to be another shrine, or maybe something lame like "Bug Catching Kid's Net" or "Tunic from Zelda II - Link's Adventure." The what now?
