So we can all agree that BotW's "Link," isn't really the true Link and hero of legend, right?
Hell, he isn't even human. The evidence is seriously starting to pile up now.
>the game begins with "Link" waking up from some magi-tech sci-fi cryo-stasis pod with seemingly no memories or mention of his past life
>he awakens at the exactly the same time those robotic guardian octopi begin re-activating again
>he's right-handed instead of left-handed - a completely unnecessary change, considering the lack of motion controls for this game
>He is the only Link that hasn't debuted in the traditional green garb for his initial reveal. We still haven't seen the tunic
>Aonuma said that he's purposefully keeping the story under-wraps for major surprises later on, claiming that we will start to piece it all together bit by bit
>The color of Link's eyes is the same RGB as the blue techno-lighy emitted from some of the ancient Sheikah magi-tech architecture that we've seen
>during its initial E3 2014 reveal, Aonuma humorously hinted something major in an interview, saying "no one said that was Link." In hindsight, people assumed he was reffering to the gender debate. But now....
There's too much to ignore. This Link is a clone, a robot, a synthetic life form; what have you. He isn't the real deal. He's a fake. A punished Link.
And that's not even getting into the timeline placement, which is seriously looking to be a giant, improbable clusterfuck. But I'll give you a hint for what I think is going on here: Dark Souls.
Also, Zelda lore, theory and speculation thread, I guess.

Fuck you. You almost had me.
>>341406270
No, it's definitely inspired by Dark Souls.
BotW's Hyrule is literally Zelda's version of Lordran.
>>341405964
>>341405964
>>341405964
I only watched the trailer, does the gameplay ever refer to the main character as Link?
I think the Linkle theories stem from the main character being Sheik or Zelda, and you dont know this until halfway through the game. I think there will be two or more main characters you play as
>>341404514
>>341406497
Ganondorf: This world will become one. I have found the way. Race, tribal affiliations, lands borders... even our faces will be irrelevant. The world that I envisioned will finally become a reality, and it will make mankind whole again.
it all adds up
>tfw he turns out to be a copy of OoT or TP Link what someone created after OoT or TP Link fucked off to some other land.
>By the end he becomes a hero of his own right
>>341406828
Yes, he is referred to as Link by a voice heard in the opening cinematic, most likely Zelda.
>>341406497
I still don't see how times converging = Dark Souls. It's not like Dark Souls invented that concept.
I don't know about Aonuma saying anything about wolf link playing a big part, and to play TPHD for clues. You'll need to source me on that.
A lot of that other stuff can be explained in a post-Wind Waker Hyrule.
-Koroks possible helped restore Hyrule, as their mission was to create new lands and new forests.
-Ocarina of Time's temple would have been preserved under the sea. Same with bridge of Eldin.
-Master Sword has been moved to a grotto before, it can be moved again. With ganon alive, it can be assumed that the sword was removed from his corpse.
-References to loftwings are retroactively assumed to have always been around. Ever Since SS fleshed them out, you can reasonably assume that remnants of such structures persisted. ALSO, with a restored faith in Hylia, it would make sense that people would build new structures of her holy symbol.
-The great plateau would be the (re)birth of Hryule as the old man suggested, because it's one of the high points that made one of WW's islands.
The only thing that I can't explain is the hieroglyph. That appears to be Rito in the middle panel. They shouldn't exist in TP. But wasn't that hieroglyph there before back in 2006? Only more blurry then. It's likely just an easter egg. Or perhaps it's actually showing the evolution of a man into an Ooccoo?
Out of all this though.... don't fucking compare it to Dark Souls. It's really not that similar.
Someone in another thread posted the idea that he's a clone of the Skyward Sword Link created because the Hero's Lineage died off at some point. Given the "Old Clothes" at the start kinda look like SS Link's, I could see that being the case.

>>341402552

>>341408824
I need to point out that the Bridge of Eldin doesn't exist in Ocarina of Time, but instead is built years later. This means it can't be "preserved" with the Temple of Time in a flooded Hyrule for Wind Waker. But this could be me Red Shirting and the developers don't care about their own lore.
>>341408985
It would make sense that this Link was created in case the reincarnation cycles got fucked up. One thing that needs to be clarified before I can safely post headcanon is whether or not 17 year-old Link had the time to impregnate Malon in Ocarina of Time before getting killed by Ganondorf so another Link could be born in the "Hero Fails" timeline.
>>341410414
I don't know what red shirting means.
Well let's back up for a second. How do we know the bridge we saw was the bridge of Eldin? It could have just been a regular bridge. Also, given enough time, the Zora river would have needed a bridge built in order to cross. The new game takes place many years after WW. Similarly how TP takes many years after OoT. So wouldn't the geography form essentially the same? Therefore also requiring a bridge be built.
Also, TP fleshes out the landscape quite a bit. We can assume the bridge was built later. Or we could also assume that TP merely filled in details that OoT lacked.
I think I got it. It's actually the Child Timeline, but it's so far ahead in the future that somehow, Kokiri turned into Koroks again.
>>341402552
>human
? neither is Link?
I hope the non-linear progression doesn't negatively affect the dungeons. Part of the problem of having multiple ways to beat a dungeon is that too many potential answers can lead to a far too easy test. Did they address this potential issue in any way?

what is this about wolf link being a part of the plot?
source?
>>341414743
Aonuma mentioned that the Wolf Link amiibo hints at some sort plotpoint in BoTW, and encouraged fans to replay TP and TPHD to better understand BoTW's plot at large.
So know, wolf Link is most likely not part of the plot, but his inclusion as a companion hints at something important to the plot.
been playing zelda since nes, stopped after ww on gc.
where can i catch up with all the canon storylines?

>The war a lost cause, the Sheikah devote their remaining resources towards a last-ditch, longshot project: If fate won't produce another Link, they'll make on themselves.

>>341407483
Yes, and then the real Link leaves him a message explaining his Origin but telling him he's his own man and that the Hero is the two of them together.
>>341414090
The last few Shrines they showed (which were from later in the game outside the starting area) looked pretty interesting (and actually quite big for mini-dungeons) so hopefully the Dungeons will be even more interesting

He mentioned something interesting. He said what they're working on in Koholint is the missing piece. A weapon to surpass the Master Sword.
>>341417732
>Koholint
Source?
Because Koholint was a dream world. It definitely shouldn't fucking exist, period.
If the Koholint he's talking about is indeed the same island from LA and not just a new island named after it, then there's definitely time, space and dimension fuckery going on.
>this much autism
It's the same "save the princess from the evil pigmeister" since decades.
No one cares if Link is an elf or an alien.
>>341402552
He's probably an attempt to make the Hero of Time separate from the prophecy. I mean, why wait for the hero to randomly show up when you can just mass produce thousands of him and fill your armies?
If this is true, I hope you get a sick ass fight against the true Hero of Time.
>>341419398

Wrong game, buddy.
With the kokoroks, I think this takes place after ww. Initially I thought it would be around the great flood, (if this isn't link, it makes sense) but the shrines are erupting from the ground which suggests the kokoroks linked the continents with their plants.

Nothing about the guy screams 'legend of the hero of time'. The colour is wrong, that hat is wrong, no master sword, guy wears armor, no master sword etc. I think they are trying to get away from the more traditional Zelda and do something new.
Also while we are on story; are they trying to put emphasis back on the gods again? I feel like they are doing this with the statue of Hylia appearing in the temple of time, as well as all the 'shrine' stuff. I'm not sure how that works
Why couldn't this game take place during the "Link Failed" timeline?

think back to games like Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess. remember any plot twists in them, other than the obvious twist that the dorf was the real villain in tp?
This isn't metal gear. the only reason we haven't seen link in the tunic is because they are trying to sell us on the whole customizable Link with different weapons and clothes. Also, the tunic now reminds us of how shitty TP and SS were, unless they drastically redesign it.
I bet you think 9-11 was an inside job too. delusional retard grasping at straws.

they're betting fucking everything on this game, they aren't going to hold anything back in any aspect
>>341422702
I hope they give you the classic costume parts, but make absolutely no fanfare it.
But they'll probably make it like, the ultimate armor is a green tunic or something like that.
>>341422702
>the only reason we haven't seen link in the tunic is because they are trying to sell us on the whole customizable Link with different weapons and clothes. Also, the tunic now reminds us of how shitty TP and SS were, unless they drastically redesign it.
You and I both know the tunic will be top level armor ala the Hylian Shield in SS.
>>341423234
I hope they give you all sorts of silly clothes like in Tri Force Heroes. Maybe even adding special NPC interactions if you're wearing certain clothes.

>You lived to see the day when Aonuma pulled a Kojima
So maybe we'll play as the clone for a while and then (if you decide to dig too much in the story) he dies in a cool way, maybe saving the real Link or someone else then we play as the actual Link. Or maybe mid way through the game you fight actual Link as a dundeon boss and he kills you and then you play as him.
Would be cool but this is too Kojima might not happen.
>>341402552
so it's another Venom Snake?

please Aonuma-sensei make this happen, I love this guy/girl even more than Link

SS has the twist of Zelda being asleep in the temple before you even started your adventure.
Ganondorf was also introduced earlier into the game so him being a villain in TP wasn't a surprise.
>>341427837
Man, that bossfight would probably have a lot of soul to it
>>341427234
Hylians are a human race, like Gerudos and, well, regular unnamed humans with round ears.
>>341428129
I don't know, sounds kind of dark for a Zelda game.
>>341428461
I don't know, it would feel pretty novel to have Link being prepared to die.
I think this Link is a previous hero that was made to sleep for thousands of years like Zelda in Skyward Sword, just in-case the world needed a Hero but there wasn't one available - doing this would enable that the world wouldn't turn to shit like in Wind Waker, when the hero didn't come.
The "old clothes" (possibly his before being put to sleep) and the fact that Link seems to expect having a sword (and seems confused when he doesn't have one to draw) implies to me that he's not a new adventurer.
Although the world looks pretty fucked with all the destroyed temples and stuff (anyone else got a desolate vibe?) makes me wonder why if this Link was put to sleep with the intention of being awoken later, why was he still sleeping when everything was destroyed? Although it's possible that the buildings just crumbled away over time, naturally. But the enemies setting up camps/settlements seem to imply to me that they had been there for quite some time. The Master Sword is also damaged, rusted, and obviously hasn't been used for years, meaning that a hero hasn't been around for a while.
It could also be another, cloned/created Link. The chamber was ominous, and the Sheikah imagery could imply that this Link was created using their shadow powers. The fact that Link is hidden away in a shitty cave and not somewhere more secure like in a Hylian Temple or whatnot makes me suspect that this Link was either forgotten or not strictly favoured by the "good" people. Link already being named could also imply that the Sheikah named him, to be the hero.
Also, the monks just refer to Link having the resolve of the hero, but not actually being the hero himself. Maybe it all could just mean that Link has to prove himself to be a hero like in Wind Waker, but who knows.
I'm also expecting a Ganon twist. Seems far too clean-cut for it to be mentioned near the start that the hero has to defeat Ganon. They've mentioned breaking Zelda conventions, so maybe he isn't the final boss?

>>341402552
>>341406497
What if it's just a simulation? Link is getting VR training and at some point in the game you "really" wake up wearing the hero's cloth to beat the real final boss

I'm genuinely expecting some kind of conflict between the fake Link and the 'real Link', likely foreshadowed with fake Link rolling into towns and people greeting him like they know him, praising him for his help, in a fashion that makes the player assume they mean things they've done around the world, but is really foreshadowing the presence of a second Link.

Another thing, all the mention of Resurrection makes me think Link is just a vessel for a soul.
Nooooo Lurk more...
Ganon's been confirmed to be sealed in Hyrule Castle for 100 years and Aonuma has said this is the WW timeline. This could be 100 years after WW or so, or after ST and this is new Hyrule.
>>341430094
Thanks doc
Link isn't human, he's Hylian.
>>341430323
>and Aonuma has said this is the WW timeline.
nope, he hasn't
>>341402552
Perhaps he's in some spirit world. Some void or place where there are elements of all different dimensions present. Hence the "wake up Link" narration.
Im still pretty annoyed about the right handed "link", Aonuma's reason for it is so retarded but I guess if theyre going to pull the hurr this isnt actually Link then i guess it will work

>>341430323
Temple of Time isn't in New Hyrule though
the Koroks planted Deku Trees and they formed new land
so old Hyrule rose to the top of the ocean, which is complete bullshit, but Aonuma isn't good with science, since fish people don't evolve into bird people when the world becomes an ocean, especially in like a couple hundred or so years
>>341402552
>the hero of legend is asleep for 100 years
>during the time that he's gone, Ganon breaks from his imprisonment and sends Hyrule into ruins and darkness
>Ganon is shown as a dark cloud floating above the castle

This is clearly a depiction of the legend told at the beginning of Wind Waker. Even the ancient technology is similar to the technology the floating head and hands boss was made out of in Tower of the Gods.
>>341435719
Yea the boss really does have that really similar look with the glowing blue lines on its body and such.
So this game might take place before Hyrule got flooded and turned into the great sea?
>this Link is a fake/clone
I like that theory. Explains why the world is so fucking empty cause the real Link already did everything worth doing!
>>341428978
I agree. I too believe this Link was put there to be awakened only in difficult times, a ready-to-be-used hero instead of the classic one who had to be found, recognized, and led on the right way.
This would also imply Hyrule already went through an age without a savior and the Sheikah decided to keep ready for another attack from Ganon. The Old Man seems to confirm this too: "Calamity Ganon" brought ruin to Hyrule 100 years ago after emerging from Hyrule Castle and nobody was there to stop him.
>The "old clothes" (possibly his before being put to sleep)
The old clothes are also too small: the description says the legs are too short and that the shirt feels tight. The sleeves don't quite reach Link's wrists: he either grew up during his slumber (does that mean he was put to sleep as a kid, similar to what happened to OoT Link?) or those clothes belonged to someone else.
>all these autistic retards speculating
why? just wait for the game

the only problem is that it would retcon how the Koroks were said to have become Koroks after the world was flooded

yes, because he's hylian
>>341415702

Pretty much my same thought. This link exist for the exclusive purpose of clearing out evil whether or not he "awoke" in time for the Sheikah.
Ganon may even say his battle is a fruitless endeavor since old hyrule is gone and hevs nothing more than a puppet. But you'll kill him anyway since that's the role you were born to play.

Hero of Legend was Hero of Time that went back to his own time. That is why he didn't show up when Ganon came back. How retarded are you people?

>he's right-handed instead of left-handed - a completely unnecessary change, considering the lack of motion controls for this game
The left-handed thing isn't relevant anymore. Skyward Sword did away with it.
>Skyward Sword just made him right-handed because motion controls
It doesn't fucking matter. Skyward Sword could have kept him left-handed and it really wouldn't matter in the slightest. Just face it, Link isn't necessarily left-handed anymore.
Link doesn't necessarily find hearts floating around either and instead has to eat the hearts of the animals he hunts.
Link can also jump without being near a gap.
Link doesn't wear a green tunic or cap either.
All long-accepted Zelda traditions are now out the window. The only tradition they're attempting to keep is the whole "Link starts the game by waking up" thing.
But if you can go straight to the endboss that means that you don't need any items to actuall progress through the game.
It probably means that all items you get for Puzzle solving you will get right before the puzzles like in the shrines during the demo, and that all actual physical items will only be convenience stuff like the Deku Leaf and the Kite.
In other words, this games open world will be completely inconsequential, and new items won't open up new possibilities, just make travel more convenient.
I'm genuinely scared now. This might become a total blunder. I like being able to backtrack to places i've been before after getting a new item and then being able to get to places i couldn't before.
DEMO LEAK WHERE?

That's actually impossible, there is one known big hurdle in the game:
The only way to exit the first area is to jump off, the drop is so big that you'll die if you don't have a glider. (You can drop off where you want, though, and choose between many different areas.)
A glider is given by the old man in exchange for orbs that you get from completing enough shrines, shrines give you the puzzle tools like magnet/bombs at the start.

Wait, are there differences between TP and TPHD other than textures and graphics?
Should I play TPHD?
>>341440665
I'll be okay if its the kind of thing where the final boss is in the open world and technically accessible but you need to cheat the system in order to get to them
Ex. Morrowind speedruns where players jump straight from the dead sorcerer to Dagoth Ur
>BotW is literally MGSV:TPP of the Zelda series
I would unironically want this to be true.
>>341441125
>MGSV:TPP
Please go and stay go. Stop injecting MGS and Dark Souls into everything you fucking faggot.

So is link going to acquire am instrument or are they doing away with that for this tablet?
>>341406497
>No, it's definitely inspired by Dark Souls.
So this is the only reference you 12 year olds know?
>>341438039
Something tells me you're a Sonygger.
I think he's a hero from a previous game who slumbered for many years before awakening to a shit show. Sort of like Doom Guy.
>>341407040
>that vision
It just confirms that he is a filthy kike.
>>341402552
Am I the only one concerned that you wake up in a place called the Shrine of Resurrection?
>>341443478
In a way they're sort of right. I don't think they would have ever gone back to the series roots and added in all this cool shit without having seen the success of games like Dark Souls and Skyrim. It's not that these mechanics are from those games so much that those games proved to Nintendo that a change of form like this wasn't actually all that risky.

Let's not forget the raft from Zelda 1
and all the lanterns

But then what about the salt you can find everywhere on land talking about how it came from the great sea?
>>341443918
>In a way they're sort of right.
No they are not. Everything is said to be Dark Souls now. No, your game isn't Dark Souls lite when it has Huge bossfights, is hard, has a vague story, has a lock on, has light attack-heavy attack-block-roll. Just stop it, there are many games that either have on or several of these features.
>>341439235
Stupid feel poster doesn't remember that TP GC was left handed.
>>341444337
It's not Souls lite, but I doubt they would have done this if games like Souls, Skyrim, etc didn't prove successful.
>>341443818
If I remember correctly "-dorf" means "of the village" in German. Which makes sense for "Ganon of the (gerudo) village"
