Why are the only good games in the timeline where Link dies?
>>337640573
dunno, I just know OOT is overrated as fuck and capcom has made better zelda games.
>>337640573
But anon they're all good games
The problem is that the original Zeldas up to MM were developed as straight sequels.
Zelda II was a continuation of I, ALttP was a prequel to I, LA was a sequel to ALttP, and OoT was a prequel to ALttP.
Aonuma apparently doesn't give a shit about any of those games except OoT because WW went on to completely contradict all of them by taking place after OoT.
Then later on Aonuma found out about the split timeline theory and adopted it, which is where we got TP.
But because of TP, now the pre-OoT games can't be on either timeline, it just creates a clusterfuck. So to fix it all they just put those games on their own timeline, even though the reason for it doesn't make sense it's better this way because now everything works fine.

The timeline split really isn't hard to understand, I don't know why people complain about it so much
>>337642861
Pretty much this. Anouma is responsible for fucking over the series continuity in favor of his own story heavy stuff.

>first games released are the last chronologically
>last game released is the first chronologically
I fucking hate this shit more than anything
>>337643274
Because it's autistic and unnecessary and easier to just say games like TP and Wind Waker aren't canon?
>>337643414
It may be shitty but it works usually. That way the creators know what to lead to and how they can start without seeming too far fetched.
>>337643429
>just say games like TP and Wind Waker aren't canon?
I fucking wish Nintendo would do that.
>>337640573
But Link dies in all the timelines. That's why we get new Links all the time.
>>337643429
Why does it matter to you if TP and Wind Waker are canon or not if the timeline is so autistic and unnecessary?
>>337642861
Are there actually people who think zeldas were a straight sequels
>>337643534
What's the point of fighting the ancient evil if you know that canonically you win and any other outcome is imaginary?
>>337643746
Because canonically you don't win, retard. The point of splitting it into "Hero is defeated" and "Hero is successful" is that there's two different very possibilities and either of them have a strong impact on what happens next.
>>337643746
Because the purpose of the game is for the spectacle and intrigue of the time. Why go to the movies if most of the time you can already figure how it's going to end?
>>337643429
>Nintendo expands and connects the Zelda lore in ways some people don't like
IT'S FUCKING AUTISTIC UGGGH
>Disney trashes tons and tons of Star Wars lore so that casual fans don't feel daunted by the amount of content they're missing
WHAT THE FUCK DISNEY I'M FUCKING BOYCOTTING EPISODE VII
>>337643637
Are there actually people who willfully ignore connections and references between the games
>>337643746
Because it's fun?
>>337640573
Anyone got the Donkey Kong one?
Hero of time is best hero
>>337642861
Everything you just said is wrong.
The split has been obvious since the ending of OoT. If you're not a dumbass, that is.

>leave behind another companion
The hero of time had a hard life
>>337642861
The split timeline concept was literally mentioned by name by Miyamoto and Aonuma in like, 2002, when they were talking about Wind Waker's plot details. The entire backstory of the game hinges on it.
What's with these revisionist dumbasses acting like Nintendo never acknowledged the timeline fuckery until Historia?
>>337640573
Link doesn't dies in the adult timeline, he just disappears.
