you're an idiot if you think it's anything other than this

The real, not artificial link who went into hiding because he wanted to be a normal person and not a hero

It's the King from OoT. The game takes place during the imprisoning war where Link had already died to Ganon.
>Ganon running amok at Hyrule Castle where Link was unable to defeat him
>Shiekah working in the shadows to protect royal family
>King of Hyrule, or his descendant awaiting Link's resurrection
>Link, having died, is resurrected in a chamber (not reborn, resurrected. He must have died. The only time Link has canon died was to Ganon in OoT)
>Hyrule in decay as Ganon was never stopped
>Master Sword damaged in the attack and returned to pedestal
>Ganon consolidating his power due to being damaged by Link in OoT
The game is going to tie off the gap between OoT's downfall timeline (which was always a cop out, as described by fans) and how Ganon was eventually defeated in time for ALttP.

>Zelda saying "please remember"
She wants Link to remember his past. You're playing as the Hero of Time, again.
What if instead of the WW King is just the current King, which was a child when Link was frozen.
>>341739473
probably just some random dude
like how you would meet a lot of random old dudes in the first game
>>341739473
Just the old man, from LOZ. However, Nintendo could easily be evoking that and saving him for some dumb plot twist.
Also, I doubt it's Ganon because you can fight the last boss right away.
>>341739778
No, it takes place post WW - we have seen the koroks.
If it isn't just Old Man, it could very likely be the king from WW.
I believe that this game is secretly a continuation of MGSV. We all know the similarities between Venom snake and Link, so I wont go over them. I will be going over the Man who sold the world and what it implies about the Old Man.
>we spoke of was and when
The old man is seen telling Link about what has happened to Hyrule and tells him it happened 100 years ago. Was, and when.
>although I wasn't there he said I was his friend
Link clearly has not been there for 100 years, and the Old Man is immediately friendly to him, and acts as a mentor character
>I thought you died alone a long long time ago
Gaebora doesn't die because he's a sage (correct me if Im wrong about that), Ganon doesn't die alone because he is killed by Link everytime, so pretty much the only person who we know died, but also died alone, is The King.
>you're face to face with the man who sold the world
In this case, the world is the ancient Hyrule, and the King "sold" it when he wished for it to be flooded.
>I laughed and shook his hand and made my way back home
>I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
Its an open world game and thats what you will do in the game, roaming and searching for land.
Whats interesting is "made my way back home". This Link doesn't remember his home so maybe rediscovering it will be a major plot point. Perhaps "home" is a metaphor for his memory, once he has found his old memories or made enough new ones he will feel at home again.
>I must have died alone, a long long time ago
Link waking up in the "reincarnation chamber" is proof enough that he was dead at one point.
So what does all of this mean? Well it basically confirms that we are playing as Wind Waker link. After all, he's the only Link who would know that the King had died. He also wears a blue shirt.
But here's the thing: Much like MGSV, you're not actually the character you think you are. Youre a fake WW Link, meant to distract Ganon from the real Link, and provide hope for the people of Hyrule

If they weren't trying so hard for that nostalgia cash-in I would say it's the king, but given the circumstances it's clearly a throwback.
There are two major options for where this fits in the timeline;
1) Before WW. In which case Old Man could be any number of people or things, EXCEPT Ganondorf.
or
2) After WW, in that games 'Downfall' timeline, where Ganondorf won and raised the Old Kingdom. In which case Old Man is almost surely Ganondorf.

F.) All of the above.
>>341739473
why doesn't the old man have voice acting?

>that level of subtlety
how the fuck does one create such a good physics engine, damn
It's probably the King.
It could be a cool plot twist if he were Ganondorf.

Rauru and Kaepora Gaebora arethe same person
>>341739596
I'm also going with this.
>>341739473
For me personally, he's the king until proven otherwise. I want to believe.

Good post.
>>341741905
I don't know the similarities between Venom Snake and Link because I know fuckall about MGSV, but I like this post.
>>341739473
Are you retarded? He has the same face as another zelda character already
>>341739473

Confirmed for king of hyrule but not King Daphnes
>>341746964

The king

King harkinian link mah boi
>>341739778
But we have seen Koroks in the game and you can find salt from the "ancient sea". It can't be related to OoT.
>>341739473
This is clear substantial evidence that it is indeed The King
