Legend of Zelda General Discussion

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Well then, that doesn't make much sense timeline wise if Link's killed. So, that either means that part's noncanon, Link didn't actually die(Look at the fact that he's still holding his sword up at the end of obliterating the four Links at the end of those videos), or either of these: He either barely survived, or he never actually fully destroyed the Dark Links, instead they disappeared to elsewhere. And the name for the Link you fight in OoT is Dark Link, last I checked. Otherwise, it wouldn't be on the Dark Link page on the Zelda Wiki(the one that was posted with the Tetraforce theory)

Besides; since you need to be a descendant of the Hylian Knights to wield the Master Sword('least as of LttP), that would wreck the timeline, as TP Link has to get it, and he wouldn't be a descendant... See the problem here?

[The Truth]

1: there are LOTS of different Links, and 2: Mr Miyamoto has said that none of the Links are related to each other. 3: He kind of vanishes after beating the Dark Links. and 4: there are different types of Dark Links. the ones made by the Four Sword, the ones that are used in TP to explain the story of the Fused Shadow, and the one in OoT.
or, 5: yeah, it could be noncanon.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

1. Yes, but some of them are the same. Isn't it possible that LttP Link is the one in one of the other earlier games?
2. You sure? I never heard that one...
3. He vanishes partly because it goes right into the second ending, correct? =P Plus, beforehand, the Four Swords circle around Link and seem to go into him. Why would they do that if he was going to die the next moment? =P
4. Well, yeah, I heard about the fused shadows DLs, but I think the OoT kind is similar.

[The Truth]

1: some are the same, yeah.
2: he said it in an interview with Nintendo Power.
3: it never actually shows what's happening. all I know is that the credits make it look as if the monsters are celebrating.
4: maybe. I'm not really sure.

EDIT: I found and added some more videos. now the whole Palace of the Four Sword is here.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

2. Hmm. Well some of them have to be related technically, unless they retconned the Hylian Knight thing from LttP.
3. Hmm... But isn't this at the point when they're all supposed to be defeated? =P
4. Also, the Adventure of Link Dark Link.

[The Truth]

2: I guess.
3: nah, there are always more monsters.
4: I'm terrible at that game. I'm stuck on level 3.
5: what do you think of the other three videos?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

2. Plus, apparently in The Wind Waker, Ganondorf refers to Link as a reincarnation of the Hero of Time... Even though he's not directly a descendant because of the fact that, well... there wasn't officially a Link in that timeline by the time the game was all said and done.
3. I don't think that the ending actually represents them celebratin Link's defeat still.
4. =P
5. They're included in the first comment, since I watched all five. =P

[The Truth]

4: well, who knows?
5: ah.

[Ddude The Insane]

Just finished up Spirit Tracks. I am officially a Zelda fan now. =D

*needs to get every Zelda game available on Wii Shop Channel ASAP* *also needs to get an SD Card* =P

It was pretty awesome to

[spoilers ahead] (since the Spoiler Tags don't work)























Fight the Demon Train, then Cole using puppet strings on Zelda in Phantom Form, the Malladus after he posseses Cole. He wasn't really that hard, honestly. And MAN, that Bow of Light is epic. =D My favorite boss was probably that giant Lava Monster in the Fire Realm. I can't remember his name, but that guy is AWESOME.

[The Truth]

I'm in the Temple Of Sand right now.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

I'm beating you guys... I don't even have the game yet! =P

I got up to dungeon 6 of the original Legend of Zelda though. ^^

[red]

just jumping in this topic now lol
I have beaten Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, Minish Cap, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess.  I dont have a DS so I cant really play any of those.  Ocarina seems to be the best by far without any comparison.  TP was k, till the second half of the game, where it got kinda lame quickly (game also lacked cool sidequests).  Majoras mask I think had the potential to be uber, if they didnt have the time limit (even tho that deters from the story), anywho im a big fan. 

[Legodac]

Oh I disagree, twilight princess is very cool, but I think my fave will always be windwaker, I can play that again and again

[Ddude The Insane]

I've heard the sailing funcction in Wind Waker was really boring. Or at least, slow and repetitive. =P

Ocarina of Time, I'm going to try out ASAP. I might be able to get some more Nintendo Points, so you know what I'm going for first. =P

Then I'll probably try Majora's Mask, the original, and Link's Awakening. Yeah, I've gone Zelda-crazy. I don't really feel like going for Phantom Hourglass, cuz I'm guessing Spirit Tracks is a more polished version of it. Twilight Princess...with me getting the Metroid Prime Trilogy, I think that's the last Teen game I'll be getting for a while. =P I will, however, try to get Legend of Zelda Wii 2 when it comes out. Motionplus+Wii Sports Resort Swordplay and Archery+Zelda=Epic win. =D

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Fawful: The T rating's for no good reason IMO from what I've heard, except maybe because the graphics are higher def.

I must agree that OoT is epic awesome though, and I'm a little disappointed that there's no uber sword sidequest in TP, but... Maybe there's at least a powerup system for Zelda Wii. We'll have to wait for next E3 though probably.

[Ddude The Insane]

Meh. It isn't that far away. But don't worry, HG/SS, Metroid Prime 4 and Super Mario Galaxy 2 should keep us busy until then. =P

Say, did Link's Crossbow Training count as a game in the Zelda series? Cuz you rarely hear/read about it.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

It's non-canon last I heard. Which makes sense, because it's essentially TP revisited with only a Bow, and that doesn't make sense storyline wise.

[Ddude The Insane]

Graaaah >_< Just found out Link's Awakening isn't on Virtual Console. Oh well. I s'pose the original, MM and OoT will keep me busy for a while. =P

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Link's Awakening is a handheld game. =P Is The Adventure of link on there though?

[Ddude The Insane]

...err...I knew that. =P

But there's a lot of handhelds on Virtual Console.

Yes, they have the Adventure of Link.
