Line 2: This page is for additional WMG entries relating to The Legend of Zelda franchise. No specific restrictions govern this thread, apart from the usual formalities and courtesies of the wiki and WMG entries. Page one of this entry can be found at [[The Legend of Zelda ~~(Franchise)~~/WMG\|The Legend of Zelda]] == Commencing with more Wild Mass Guessing == Line 32: == Remember the trailer they showed a long time ago when the Gamecube first came out (with Link and Ganondorf sword fighting)? == That game really exists. Nintendo, being the crazy bastards they are, showed us what looked to be an awesome game and then gave us something else (which was good, but not what we were promised). They then gave us a few more games in hopes of making us forget about the broken promise, but were secretly working on it. This is the same reason they named the "Revolution" (awesome) the "Wii" (WTF), they purposly make asses of themselves to make their eventual victory sweeter (They are Nintendo, we cannot beat them). * If you're talking about that Spaceworld demo that showed Link and Ganondorf fighting and was the cause of the whole ''[[The Legend of Zelda: ~~the~~The Wind Waker ~~(Video Game)~~\|Wind Waker]]'' Backlash: Personally, I found that Demo's graphics to be disgustingly ugly. Link looked like Tidus from [[Final Fantasy X]] and Ganondorf looked just retarded. I was actually glad that ''The Wind Waker'' looked different from that. Also, [[Twilight Princess]] looks a whole lot better as well. ** Regarding the trailer. Anyone else notice that Link had the [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series ~~(Web Video)~~\|* EFF!* ]]ing Hero's Shield from ''Majora's Mask''? This troper was like "WTF?" when he noticed it. ** It looks like a remake if anything. It's about as much of a game as [[Pokémon (~~Anime~~anime)\|Meowth's Party]], which was a tech demo. == In ''Link's Awakening'', the disembodied voice after beating a dungeon is the Wind Fish itself == Line 50: == The DS games are going to be a Quadrilogy == One person on Gamefaqs pointed this out. Bellum is War (due to his name being Latin for War), and Malladus is Pestilence (due to it being similar to Malady), leaving the next game to be Famine (perhaps a drought hits Hyrule, and spreads, and Famine happens to be a wizard turned genie, and Link gets a Flying Carpet that gets more powerful as he goes to more temples, letting him fly higher and for longer?). Then the fourth game ties them all together, and they are [[Hijacked Byby Ganon\|Ganonjacked]] by Death. An alternate version would place Bellum as Pestilence (as he drains the life out of everyone, like an illness), which would mean the Bellum comes from somewhere other than Latin (perhaps a part of the brain, to indicate that his one was formed in Oshus' head as an illness that, by sucking his power, could eventually get into the real world) and Malladus as War (due to his obviously violent nature). Then it would continue to Famine and Death after that. * Here's a thought. You know another word for Death? "[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword ~~(Video Game)~~\|Demise]]". Maybe Bellum, Malladus and the missing Famine one were originally his [[Co-Dragons]]. == Link ''can'' talk. == Line 62: == Fado in [[Ocarina of Time]] is not a Kokiri == Most Kokiri have orange hair. Link, a Hylian, has blonde hair. Saria has green hair, but she is the Sage of Forest, thereby setting her apart. The only "pure" Kokiri who doesn't have orange hair is Fado. It is possible, therefore, that she is not a Kokiri. This is further supported by [[Creepy Child\|her role in the Biggoron's Sword sidequest]]. But the [[The Legend of Zelda: ~~the~~The Wind Waker ~~(Video Game)~~\|other Fado]] does also have blonde her and is outright stated to have been the last Kokiri... * But WW Fado was also a Sage. How is she still a kid though? A ghost? * She's still the wind sage. == Wind Waker Link and Zelda are older than they look == Line 71: == [[Freud Was Right]] about this whole series == * Let's take a look at the plotline of the more recent main-series games. You start out with a kinda-wimpy sword, you explore three caves (!) to get a better (and occasionally bigger) sword, sometimes there's a complicated sidequest to get an even bigger and stronger sword than that, you go and explore more caves with your bigger swords, your final battle is with a tall, dark-skinned, extremely masculine [[Badass]] who either has the biggest sword in the game, or in [[The Legend of Zelda: ~~the~~The Wind Waker ~~(Video Game)~~\|The Wind Waker]], two swords, in order to "save" and thus obtain the most desirable woman in the game. In a Freudian sense, it's about Link overcoming his insecurity about his [[Bishounen\|effeminate]] [[Dude Looks Like a Lady\|appearance]] by proving that he's at least as much of a "man" as his more masculine rival Ganondorf by "exploring caves" with his "sword". == The games are [[All Just a Dream]] == * Specifically, Link's dreams. Link is a nerdy high school student who dreams in [[Medieval European Fantasy]]. In his sleep, he transforms from a nerd into the Hero of Time, football team captain Ganondorf becomes the King of Evil, the rest of the jocks become [[Mooks\|Moblins/Bulblins]] for being bullies, and Ganondorf's cheerleader girlfriend (after whom Link lusts) is "Princess" Zelda. Link hears rumors that Ganondorf is an abusive boyfriend to Zelda, which is reflected in the pig transformation. The other characters are based off of Link's friends, classmates, and family. ''[[The Legend of Zelda: ~~the~~The Wind Waker ~~(Video Game)~~\|Wind Waker]]'' took place when Zelda hit puberty and became hysterical, which destoried his [[Princess Classic]] view of her. [[Twilight Princess]] was when she finally found her balance again, but another female friend (Midna) temporaly became a bitch because of familary problems. [[Spirit Tracks]] is him asking Zelda out and her putting him down for still being a nerd after all those years, he should finally decide what he wants to do in his life. Let's take this a bit farther and plot Link's life from Ocarina of Time up to Spirit Tracks. * Ocarina of Time is dreamed when he's just a kid, entering puberty and middle school. Ganondorf is a few years older than he and Zelda are, and he's a big man on campus. Saria is Link's childhood friend, but she's about to move away. Nabooru is an older woman who keeps flirting with Link, so Link is confused. He's a big fan of high fantasy, heroic fantasy, whatever. * Majora's Mask is a follow-up, Link dealing with other issues that he didn't consider while lusting over Zelda. Note how the Master Sword, a symbol of his undying hatred for Ganondorf, is nowhere to be found. Some of it may be inspired by him doing required community service hours for a church, school, or youth group event. The falling moon symbolizes his fear of the world he enters after the event. Hey, it may even be the transition to high school! Termina is a separate world from Hyrule because Link is, for the moment, not concerned with the Ganondorf/Zelda thing that defines Hyrule. * The Wind Waker takes place a few years later, probably during Link's freshman year in high school, after Link's sister Aryll starts hanging around with an older man, and a jock at that. Turns out this jock is a prankster who plays a mean trick on the girl. Aryll actually isn't that much younger than her older brother, but he still considers himself her protector, and she is thus rendered a helpless child in his dreams. He dreams about beating the jock (a jumper for the track team, perhaps, given that he is a bird in-dream), and oh look, there's my old Master Sword, Ganondorf is taking Zelda to his senior prom, let's beat up that damn football player who is somehow still dating (and according to rumors, abusing) Zelda! Ganondorf soon graduates from high school, hence Link thinks he'll never need the Master Sword again and leaves it in Ganondorf's head. All taking place in Link's newest obsession, pirates and sea travel! Line 86: == The sleeping Zelda from Zelda 2 is from one of the other timelines == It's supposedly the same Link in this game, but where did this sleeping Zelda come from? This troper suspects the timelines merged at some point, but somehow, this Zelda who was taking a centuries long dirt nap was missed in the shuffle. Impa (who may or may not also be from another timeline) learned about, and went to Link since saving Princesses is what he's good at. Link kicks some ass, wakes her up, and now......there are two Princess Zelda's. OH CRAP!! As follower of the Reincarnation-theory, I prefer to think that the last game's Princess Zelda [[Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome\|died]] shortly before this game and that awakening the original one was only possible, because the body wasn't an empty shell at the time. Actually, that makes a hell of a lot more sense. But it also seems a bit cold. One Zelda dies so they just wake up the spare. It really sucks to be her sometimes. Original theory is supported by the fact that the ending theme of Zelda 2, when you wake Zelda up. Every game after it uses Zelda's Lullaby as Zelda's theme, with one exception: The Minish Cap, which used the credits music from The Adventure of Link. Considering that this game is often considered to be the first in the series, well.... Line 117: * As of [[Skyward Sword]], it has been revealed that {{spoiler\|Zelda is the goddess Hylia reborn as a mortal}}. The game also strongly implies that {{spoiler\|Ganondorf embodies the undying hate of the demon king Demise}}. Knowing this, it wouldn't come as a surprise if Link was himself an avatar to some divine being, and the Fierce Deity does appear as a likely candidate. One could imagine the goddesses are trying to correct the [[Blood Knight]]-ish and [[Knight Templar]]-ish aspects of an otherwise invaluable ally. == The abundance of [[Nightmare Fuel]] ([[The Legend of Zelda ~~(Franchise)~~/Nightmare Fuel\|so much that it needs its own page on this wiki]]) was a ploy to get adults to play. == Lots of kids can’t stand [[Nightmare Fuel]]. Solution in kid logic? Ask Mom or Dad or another older person you know well (like, say, your teenage sibling) to get you through the scary part because they’re the bravest person you know! At least that part is known to have happened. But what if someone at Nintendo had made it that way intentionally? Now that would be clever.... ** I am, in fact, sure that this is the case. That's also how they ''got'' my father to play Super Mario 64 after all. Line 126: * Who says they need to be alive...? ** Who says they're not alive in the first place but just in hiding because of they're low numbers? * Hmm...that is true. So then, the [[~~Added Alliterative Appeal~~Alliteration\|Shadow seal is supported by Sheikah spirits?]] == Vaati is Shadow/Dark Link == Line 134: I was reading the book a long while ago when I came upon the charecters Petra and Bonzo. Giving it some thought I began noticing similarities. For starters Petra and Tetra are five letters with only one letter differing in each, and P and T are three letters apart, the same holds true to Bonzo and Gonzo; except G and T are four letters apart. They are also close personality-wise; Tetra being a calculating cool-headed warrior with a massive ego and Gonzo getting by with brute strength withouut the ability to resist a challange(If Alfonzo is any indication.)Also the fact that they work togeatherin both instances, which tipped me off. == Marin in [[Links Awakening]] is a descendent of [[The Legend of Zelda: ~~the~~The Wind Waker ~~(Video Game)~~\|Medli.]] == She has red hair (apprently a trait of female or child Rito). She also posseses a harp a sign of the Earth sage blodline. In the end of the original black and white [[Links Awakening]] she takesthe form of a [[Winged Humanoid]]. The human like nose is probably due to interbreeding with normal Hylians. Line 146: * The well is supposedly the basement of some guy, who was probably the Hyrule equivilent of the psychopath you hear about on the news with a bunch of dead bodies and tortured people in his basement. He's also believed to be Bongo-Bongo. Sweet Zombie Jesus, I'd completely forgotten all about of that. Given that Kakariko used to be the Sheikah village, the fact that it's based on the temple would make sense. So I'd like to contribute to the nightmares: Why is the entrance to the private torture dungeon only big enough for a child to fit through? According to [~~http~~https://~~www~~web.archive.org/web/20090326064241/http://zelda.com/universe/pedia/k.jsp this encyclopedia] (check Kakariko Well), the well was constructed by Sheik, although I think that should be be Impa, to seal away an evil spirit, aka Bongo-Bongo. So that could mean that in order to seal away Bongo-Bongo, Sheik/Impa either a) [[Magnificent Bastard\|designed the well to look like the Shadow Temple in order to confuse Bongo-Bongo into believing that he it was still in the temple]], or b) [[Nightmare Fuel\|sacrificed a bunch of people by torturing them to death to seal Bongo in the well.]] == All the Links are named differently. == Line 154: Ever noticed that when is Ezlo {{spoiler\|is a hat}}, he makes a lot of snarky comments, but when he {{spoiler\|is a Minish}}, he seems like a different person. That's my explanation. == ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword ~~(Video Game)~~\|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'' sees the Timelines Merging again and leads into the first two games of the series. == It uses [[The Legend of Zelda: ~~the~~The Wind Waker ~~(Video Game)~~\|Cel Shaded Grafics]] and an [[Twilight Princess\|Adult Link with a detailed design and realistic proportions]]. 'Nuff said. Jossed, it's set around the creation of the Master Sword and thus not involved in the whole Split-Timeline Business.(Wow, it's sure rare for the Original Poster to joss their own WMG.) Line 181: == Niko might be the closest thing to the games' next [[Legacy Character]]. == Maybe on a future game we'll meet his descendant (or even his distant ancestor in [[Skyward Sword]]) and Nintendo won't mess him up like Tingle. * Well, footage starring Beedle the Skytown shopkeeper has surfaced, so it's not out of the question. == tWW's Fado was the "Kokiri who left the forest and is still alive" that that one Gossip Stone spoke of. == Line 191: == The series is a retelling of the 'Struggle between Summer and Winter' myth == Link has to fight Ganon to rescue Zelda and save Hyrule in pretty much every game. Ganon is a giant boar, which is the form the winter god is traditionally supposed to take. Link is dressed in green, which is associated with nature and rebirth. They both fight for Hyrule, Link to protect it, and Ganon to take it over. Zelda is the princess of Hyrule, and whoever wins effectively has her at his mercy, mirroring the fights between ancient summer and winter gods for the hand of the Earth Maiden. * Supporting this, Ganondorf froze over part of the world in ''Ocarina of Time.'' == The WW Fado is a reincarnation of the Fado of OOT == Same name, same hair color, and there was evidence she was supposed to be a wind sage. He is her reincarnated and is living her prophecy of being a sage. == Twinrova was brainwashed into being evil == Line 209: It's speculated their siblings but maybe they were born at the same time? == A future game will reveal someone named Kasuto (?), and Fado, as sages == They've hinted at them being sages and it's too good a plot point to miss out especially in the WW timeline. I'm betting on reincarnations but flashbacks or even a OOT era game would be nice. Thumbs up if it reveals why Mido has a town named after him. == Fado dies around the 7 year period == Line 220: == Fado will be given a bigger role in OOT 3DS == Maybe references to her wind sage status, giving her a bigger part then just dialogue and giving you a saw, giving her almost all of her original scenes minus wind sage ones, making her the wind sage, etc. * Except OoT Fado is different from Fado the Wind Sage. Wind Waker Fado is male. Sorry. Fado was [[Dummied Out\|meant]] to be the wind sage in Ocarina Of Time, that's what I meant. == Most Links, while they can speak, greatly prefers telepathy. == Line 236: == "Lokomo" is just another word for "sage". == There's seven Lokomo, just like the sages in Ocarina of Time, and their respective colors match. Like the sages in Wind Waker, all of them have a respective instrument (except Byrne, but God knows if he had one). They come in handy on the final battle. They have the Lokomo Sword, and the Master Sword is connected to the sages, plus the swords even look alike. There's also the theory that the sages in OoT die before they awaken, which is basically [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence\|ascending to a higher plane of existence]], and the Lokomo did exactly this. == The reason Kokiri are forbidden from leaving the forest is that the exit leads to Hyrule Field == Line 262: == Fado in Ocarina of Time is the same Fado as the one in Wind Waker == Fado is said to have been a relative of Saria in WW, but he must have been born a while after her death. Plus the only Kokori with his name was the blond girl, ''Fado''. Fado was meant to be the wind sage, Fado is a blond [[Creepy Child]] in a similar way her WW incarnation is, etc. Either that or he's a closely related reincarnation of her. Alternativly, he's both a descendant of Saria and Fado. == The Ocarina of Time remake will be quite different from the original in more then a few elements == Take a look at the ''[[Pokémon]]'' remakes for example. [[Word of God]] is that this won't be a simple rehash of OoT for the 3DS either. I'm expecting the [[The Legend of Zelda: ~~the~~The Wind Waker ~~(Video Game)~~\|two unknown sages]] to be revealed. * Unknown sages? I thought Fado and Laruto ''were'' the sages from that time. Laruto? You're thinking of Wind Waker, unless they introduce a Laruto in OoT. * No, what I mean is, I thought Laruto and Fado were the sages circa OoT, then they died later on, then Medli and Makar become the sages during Wind Waker. *** Wrong Fado. We're talking about the Kokori ''girl''. Line 278: == Zelda and Link are siblings in Ocarina of Time == Or at least related. I know I'm going to get [[Gannon Banned]] for this, but it's a perfectly reasonable thought. == The true meaning of "23 is number 1!" == Line 284: Take the number 23, and multuply it by 1. You now have 23! 2 plus 3 is 5. Ocarina of Time is the fifth game in the Zelda series, excluding the CD-i games. It was on the Nintendo 64. Subtract 23 from 64 and you get 41. In the orginal Pokemon games, Zubat is the 41st Pokemon in the Pokedex. Zubat is obviously a bat. A bat, as in the song 'Bat Out of Hell' by Meatloaf. Hell is also the subject of several AC/DC songs. Therefore, Link is obviously an AC/DC fan. * ... wow * Actually, since [[Everyone Is Satan in Hell\|Everyone is Ganon in the Dark World]], this naturally means that Zelda games are tools of the Devil [[The Angry Video Game Nerd ~~(Web Video)~~\|in the same way as]] ''[[~~Super Mario Bros 3 (Video Game)\|~~Super Mario Bros 3]]''. And yes, this means that [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] is no less a being than [[Satan]]. ** No, it's better than that. Miyamoto is a devilish being on par with Satan and they're competing for souls. And in spite of the two thousand year headstart Satan has, I'm pretty sure right now Miyamoto's winning. == In Spirit Tracks, Link was a part of a massive [[Counterfeit Cash\|money laundering]] scam along with Alfonzo == The Whole "engineer" thing was a clever smokescreen to cover said scam. Link and Alfonzo used grass clippings and broken pottery to fabricate fake rupees which were indistinguishable from real ones. This is how they were able to cover the cost of the free transport and passenger services. Link only got caught up in the whole "saving the world" thing by accident. Also free treasures as well. Line 302: Look at the [http://www.johnstuart.biz/HOJOCOLORRGT.jpg Hojo family crest]--clearly the ancient tales left an impression on somebody. == LttP is the end of the Adult Timeline. == In Wind Waker, Ganondorf summons the Triforce into that timeline, removing it from the child timeline, conveniently at the end of Twilight Princess. The reason Link is a bunny instead of a wolf is because he's the reincarnation of a different Link. Presumably, this means that Ganon is defeated for good in TP. Line 334: == Link is [[I Am Not Left-Handed\|ambidextrous.]] == In the [[The Legend of Zelda (~~Animation~~animation)\|animated series]] he's right handed, and due to graphical limitations of the [[The Legend of Zelda (~~Video~~video ~~Game~~game)\|first]] [[Zelda II: ~~the~~The Adventure of Link ~~(Video Game)~~\|two]] games you can't tell if he's left handed. * This may actualy be true in Skyward Sword. He whields hi sword with his right hand, but when using the bow he draws the string with his left, which is incredibly awkward for a purely right-handed person to do. == [[The Legend of Zelda: ~~the~~The Wind Waker ~~(Video Game)~~\|Toon Link and Tetra]] are older than they look. == We all assume they are the same age as Young Link and Zelda from Ocarina, but Link's Grandmother states that he is the same age as the [[The Chosen One\|The Hero of Time]] when she gives him his clothes. When Link became the Hero of Time, he was 17, and that is when he did his best and most well known work. Also, his exact age is never given at any point in the game, and a teenager would still be a kid. [[Depending Onon the Artist\|Artist interpretation]] is the reason they seem younger. == The reason Link has so many shipping options == Line 362: More likely, though, they didn't wait at all. Nayru's the Oracle of Ages, and short of divine will and time paradoxes (and possibly not even those if she just doesn't care), there's nothing stopping her from taking Ralph and visiting a future where they've hooked up and had children, or bringing the children to their time, or even taking the whole family to a time period where none of them belong in. It'd explain the unrecognizable town they're in, anyway. It's possible that this sort of thing happens often enough for the kids not to bat an eye at it. Granted, time paradoxes might still occur -- what if they learn their firstborn is named Bob and, at his birth, call him Charlie instead? -- but again, the game's pretty weird with time to begin with, between Bipin's son and the construction of the Black Tower. == A future Zelda game will have two Zelda's, twins; one will grow up as Sheik ==. [[Half-Identical Twins]], maybe? [[It Was His Sled]] that Sheik and Zelda are one person, so why not twist it? * [[Broken Base\|No]]. Line 370: *** Made even more interesting if Sheik is a boy. Prince masquerading as a princess? Maybe they'd castrate him at a young age. == Link was the Man in Green for [[Super Paper Mario ~~(Video Game)~~\|the prophecy.]] == See the mirroring WMG on [[Super Mario Bros ~~(Franchise)~~./WMG\|this page]] for more details. == Bellum is some sort of Beholder. == Line 400: == The 25th (NA) aniversery will include a public reveal of the timeline == Wouldn't it be the most ''awesome'' gift? I don't think it will be all of the stuff given (I think it will most likely be a compolation with the timeline under "bonus features"). * [http://gamecrunch.co/2011/12/18/hyrule-historia-to-unveil-official-zelda-timeline-on-december-21/ Holy shit!]{{Dead link}} == Ganondorf will have a [[Heel Face Turn]] in the "flooded" timeline == Line 422: Before you complain that Guru-Guru says something along the lines of "Grr, you played the Ocarina again didn't you?", keep in mind the man isn't exactly calm and is possibly just making assumptions. == The Bridge Worker from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks ~~(Video Game)~~\|The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks]]'' is the grandson of [[Interspecies Romance\|Moe and Maggie]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: ~~the~~The Wind Waker ~~(Video Game)~~\|Wind Waker]]'' == Just look at him and ''try'' to tell me he's not part Moblin. * This might be jossed. His model appears in Phantom Hourglass as a Shipyard Worker, which occurs shortly after Wind Waker, and the Bridge Worker might be a descendant of that guy. [~~http~~https://~~www~~web.archive.org/web/20160630073620/http://zeldawiki.org/Shipyard\] == Link is one of the [[Exalted]] == The Link we all know and love, complete with affinity for color green, ability to quickly master weapons, and other such attributes is the Exaltation. In every era it attaches itself to a child of great courage, [[Incredibly Lame Pun\|Linking]] that child to the ones who came before him and giving him the tools he'll need to save the world. Naturally, Zelda and Ganondorf hold the other two Exaltations. == Ganondorf was [[Killed Off for Real]] at the end of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: ~~the~~The Wind Waker ~~(Video Game)~~\|The Wind Waker]]''. == With the two split time-lines, this Ganondorf's only other rise to power was during ''[[Ocarina of Time]]''. The end of the game is both symbolic and literal in that the old Hyrule, the Master Sword, and Ganondorf are washed away ''forever''. It is over. The Hero of Winds accomplished something that the various Links in the other time-line have never done, to this day. Sure, there are new threats in the subsequent games that are placed in this time-line, but the biggest to ever have hit Hyrule is ended. Meanwhile, in the other supposedly ''better'' time-line, you have the events of games upon games with Ganon getting progressively more insane and powerful, and being defeated only sets him back for a while until he is brought back again, just like Dracula in the ''[[Castlevania]]'' series. ** Granted, the killing of Ganondorf is still rather troubling in this timeline in that in doing so, Hyrule was destroyed forever, the Master Sword can never be used to battle evil again, {{spoiler\|and Demise's curse will remain on the line of heroes so long as the bloodline/reincarnation continues, so sooner or later ''something'' will replace Ganondorf in this timeline, and the Wind Waker timeline swords that are used as replacements for the Master Sword don't seem to have its staying power...}} Line 440: Then Dark Link. The dude never actively seeks Link out. He only does so on Ganon's orders, and in the 4SA manga, he wasn't evil, just mislead. Who's willing to bet that if you tore off his shirt that there would be a Heartless symbol where his heart was? * Dark Link has red eyes, Heartless have yellow eyes. ** Oh come on. He could be his own type of Heartless. * Something to think about; The red eyes are only part of one version. Version 2 is completely black. Version 3 has the same eyes as Link's, which are EVER SO slightly yellow. Plus, it's possible he could be disguising his true form... * Are you implying Vanitas? Glad I'm not the only person who noticed. -[[Zelda Hearts 1337]] Line 459: == Link is NOT a [[Heroic Mime]], but his words are never heard to avert [[Parrot Exposition]] == As far back as [[Oo T]], people in the world have been known to respond to Link as though he had been talking to them. In fact, Link ''does'' talk, but nothing he says is anything we don't already know, so the developers don't include his words in order to avert [[Parrot Exposition]]. * I'm playing Skyward Sword right now, and in a cutscene where Link is talking to Zelda's father, he moves his hands the way some people use gestures to help explain things. And then when the camera angle shifts, it's blatantly obvious that Link's lips are moving. I'd say this is pretty confirmed. ** Pretty much, considering the same thing happens when he explains his adventure to Groose. Line 466: == A Dungeon Idea... == If there's ever another game in the Wind Waker timeline, and for some reason the Master Sword is needed again, the dungeon you pick it up from will be a recently-drained Ganondorf's Tower, rechristened the Tower of Hope. The unique feature of this dungeon is that [[Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene\|there are no monsters and no boss,]] only puzzles and a serene, subtle background music that builds on itself as you ascend the tower, finally [[Theme Song Reveal\|revealing itself]] to be [[Skyward Sword\|Fi's Theme]] as you reach the top, where the Master Sword has remained intact, waiting for you the whole time. * So...you'd pull it out of Ganondorf's head? Line 478: == There will be a direct sequel to ''[[Skyward Sword]]'' == * Taking place before ''[[Ocarina of Time]]'' again, it will detail the establishment of the kingdom of Hyrule and how the various races fought amongst each other for the Triforce. It will also have a Princess Zelda being put to sleep, leading to the decree that all females in the Royal Family will be named Zelda, as detailed in the backstory of ''[[Zelda II: ~~the~~The Adventure of Link ~~(Video Game)~~\|Zelda II the Adventure of Link]]''. == The five Japanese elements inspired the console games == The first two are obvious: Ku (Sky/Heaven/Void) corrolates to [[Skyward Sword]] and Fu (Wind) to ''[[The Legend of Zelda: ~~the~~The Wind Waker ~~(Video Game)~~\|Wind Waker]]''. That leaves Chi (Earth), Sui (Water) and Ka (Fire) between [[Ocarina of Time]], [[Majoras Mask]] and [[Twilight Princess]]. Majora's Mask fits neatly with Chi/Earth, due to the underlying 'death' theme it's got going for it. According to [[The Other Wiki]], predatory animals are examples of Ka/Fire, so it's arguable that TP corresponds to fire (as another WMG has pointed out, it's certainly got the [[Real Is Brown\|color scheme]] for it), leaving OoT with Sui/Water. That's not exactly the most solid argument, though. <ref> Or, if we're going by the Links and counting the Hero of Time as one, then SS=Sky, WW=Wind, OoT/MM=Earth(?), TP=Fire(??), Next console game= Water(???). Whatever. I'm [[Fan Wank\|Fan Wanked]] out. Any ideas?</ref> * That assumes that the folks at Nintendo planned this out way in advance, which seems very unlikely. Line 488: == The next major game after Skyward Sword will take place between Skyward Sword and Minish Cap == If you look at [https://web.archive.org/web/20120515065412/http://storage.siliconera.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/zelda_timeline_thumb.jpg the official timeline], there are three historical eras (the Sky Era, the Era of Chaos, and the Era of Prosperity) between Skyward Sword and Minish Cap. This, particularly the "Era of Chaos" noted as being the time when the Sacred Realm was sealed away, seems rather noteworthy and unusual that it is on the list without a game of its own... * It follows that this game will be about the end of the Era of Chaos, with the sealing of the Sacred Realm and the founding of the Kingdom of Hyrule - possibly even the rise of the Sages. * There would be one question though- would this center around the second use of the Master Sword, as hinted at by the Sealing of the Sacred Realm (to which the Master Sword is part of the lock), or would it center around the Picori Blade, as hinted by said blade's cultural prominence in the set-comparatively-shortly-thereafter Minish Cap? == Alternatively, the next major game after Skyward Sword will take place in the Child Timeline. == The adult timeline has room for events after Spirit Tracks, but is rather limited by the loss of Hyrule and being railroaded a bit by the ending of Wind Waker sealing the Master Sword and Ganondorf away so idiosyncratically and in a non-magical as well as magical way. Likewise, the Loss Timeline is rather restricted by events; the only times that are open without too much restriction to storytelling are at the beginning and end of the Era of Decline- which, as the name and examples we have from it indicate, is too lacking in knowledge and population to have the feel of a modern Zelda game. By contrast, looking at [https://web.archive.org/web/20120515065412/http://storage.siliconera.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/zelda_timeline_thumb.jpg the official timeline], the child timeline seems underexplored - games could be set between the Twilight and Shadow Eras without too much trouble (just need another game to kill Ganondorf off again before Four Swords Plus), and the time after Four Swords Plus seems wide open for storytelling without restriction. == There will be a game where all the split timelines will merge. == Line 529: In The same way that many of the NPCs encountered in [[Okami]] may be based on figures from Japanese Mythology, many of the NPCs that play important roles all have their own myths, fables and legends. In the same mythology that are about the legendary hero named Link, there's possibly one about Malon the farm girl, Beedle the intrepid shopkeeper or even an urban legend about a ghost hand in a toilet that wants paper badly. All of these stories all fit into the main anthology of Hyrule's mythology. ''[[The Wind Waker]]'' actually confirms this in the case of Tingle. Using the Tingle Tuner in the Tower of the Gods you can find pieces of a legend about Tingle (specifically the story of Tingle from ''[[Majoras Mask]]''). * To say nothing of ''[[Freshly ~~Picked Tingles Rosy Rupeeland (Video Game)\|Freshly~~ -Picked: ~~Tingles~~Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland]]''. == One of the games in the Child Timeline will take a page out of Castlevania's book and force the new Link to prove himself worthy in a half-temple, half [[Boss Rush]] called "The Master Sword's Memory". == Line 544: * The Zoras, on the other hand, despite being highly adapted to aquatic environments, weren’t so lucky. Although they seem at home in the water with their fins and gills, their humanoid bodies imply that they aren’t meant to be in the water ''all'' the time. In real life, most fish are meant to be in either saltwater or freshwater; only a few, like bull sharks, can swim and breathe in both. Some of the Zoras, by praying to the Goddess Nayru, were able to adapt quickly to the saltwater environment, and settled on Greatfish Isle {{spoiler\|until it was destroyed and they all disappeared}}. To thank Her, they created Nayru’s Pearl, which housed some of power of the Goddess Herself. They also hatched, nurtured and raised Lord Jabun, the offspring of the demi-god Lord Jabu-Jabu, to watch over them as the new living Water Spirit. The other Zoras travelled north to the top of Death Mountain, and turned to the Goddess Din for aid. In answer to their prayers, She gave them avian features (beaks, feathers, wings) to protect them from the scorching heat, and entrusted a dragon egg to them. This egg held the single surviving offspring of the dragon Volvagia, who was slain by the Hero of Time. When the egg hatched, Din deemed the newborn dragon to be Lord Valoo, the living Sky Spirit. The Zoras, no longer being Zoras, began to call themselves Ritos, in memory of Ruto, the Princess (and later Queen) of the Zoras in ancient times. *** Although the Ritos had wings, their wings were not big or strong enough to enable flight. So Din instructed Valoo to give each adult Rito one of his scales (which grew back easily). These scales triggered a magical “growth spurt” that caused a Rito’s wings to grow big enough to allow flight. Eventually, it became customary for young Ritos to visit Valoo and receive their wings when they came of age. To thank the Goddess for Her kindness, the Ritos created Din’s Pearl, which housed some of the power of the Goddess Herself. * Kokiri Village & The Lost Woods = The Forest Haven & The Forbidden Woods Line 551: ** The Kokiri, despite their mammalian appearance, had always been sentient plant-people. Instead of blood, they had chlorophyll keeping them alive. When they became the Koroks, they became lightweight enough to use the leaves that the Great Deku Tree shed as makeshift “wings”. *** To thank the Goddess for Her kindness, the Koroks created Farore’s Pearl, which housed some of the power of the Goddess Herself. {{quote\| ''Once upon a time, long ago, the Koroks took on human forms, but when they came to live on the sea, they took these shapes.''}} --The Great Deku to Link, when the Koroks reveal themselves. == The 3DS game will be a [[George Lucas Throwback]] to the NES originals, called New Legend Of Zelda == Line 565: {{reflist}} [[Category:Wild Mass Guessing/Video Games]] [[Category:The Legend Of Zelda Additional WMG]]▼ [[Category:WMG]] ▲[[Category:The Legend Ofof Zelda ~~Additional WMG~~]] __NOTOC__ {{DEFAULTSORT:Legend of Zelda, The/WMG/Additional WMG}}
