How is madman so agile after being asleep for 100 years?
Also, BotW lore thread. When the fuck does this take place?
People have said post-WW, pre-TP and somewhere early on in the defeat timeline.

or it could just be in it's own timeline.

SHUT THEF FUCK UP
>>
>>342011068
Because of the religious revival after the light spirits ensured the preservation of the realm of Hyrule. Leading to the entry to the Temple of Light, the Temple of Time being restored in pious gratitude.

Failing that it's just a different temple given the same name. I mean while it's not impossible to be disinformation, the one from Ocarina was supposed to have been built after Zelda's dad in his lifetime had unified the Zora, Goron, and Sheikah. That doesn't jell with the existance of one on Skyward Sword, nevermind the topography issues that come with all of their changes.
>>
Pre WW is the only logical spot. Remember, this is a timeline where Link was effectively deleted. Link was sent back to the past, but the doomed future persisted without him.

This Link is an artificial Link grown by the Sheikah now that Ganon is coming back, and the real Link cant reincarnate to stop him. It's that part of the Wind Waker intro, where Ganon returns, but there's no hero to stop him. This explains the Koroks, they've been transformed in anticipation of the incoming Flood (The Deku tree can probably tell what's going to happen) This game will end with Link failing, and Hyrule being flooded

seems pretty simple to me desu

OOT is the split: there's the timeline where Link defeats Ganon, there's the timeline where Link goes back to the past and gets Ganon imprisoned, and there's the hypothetical timeline where Link straight up fails to defeat Ganon. From there the different games fall into one of those categories, outside of the ones that take place prior (like Skyward Sword).

Don't bother, people will always bring up the same answer that Link doesn't always reincarnate as the same person like Zelda and Ganon even though that was only just established in Skyward Sword and the more important thing is that Link has been an iconic male character for 30 years now.

>>342017428
That mural doesn't show height but the social status of the tri-force bearers. Ganon and Zelda are both nobility while Link is always a commoner. Notice how the leaders of the different tribes are almost all equal in height to Zelda.

Samus being a woman adds nothing to the character that wouldn't be intact if she were male. If feminists believe females can do literally everything on par with a male it's ok to switch Samus' gender by their own admission.

I like a theory floating around that BotW takes place after Adventure of Link. In Zelda II Ganon is dormant as a shadow and is trying to use Zelda to come back, you wake up Zelda and weaken Ganon's attempt to resurrect using some crystals found in temples, but Link doesn't really fight him directly or vanish him for good.
I'm that time line, Ganon is the wizard hog with a trident and it's treated more like a force of Evil rather than an sentient entity.

If you get a game over in AoL the games says "Return of Ganon".

Ok yeah, let's see, if OOT Link was a female, would that change the story in some way or form? No, they only one that would change is Skyward Sword for the love story, but nothing else. They story will be exactly the same, they will only call her "heroine of X".

There is still the possibility of multiple playable characters/female Link, since Aonouma said in the first Zelda U reveal trailer he wanted to add multiplayer; and when a Treehouse rep was asked about multiplayer at E3 he kinda dodged the question like it was gonna happen but he couldn't talk about it.

It looks explorable, but even in the official demo footage, there was a visible wind to keep Link from jumping out of the designated area.

Because, you dumbass, it would contradict the lore of games that have existed since the 80s and would ignore those fans. Like the realisitic bomberman? "b-but it doesn't affect the gameplay", no, but it changes things people are attached to. The stupid 3D bionic Commando? The latest Crash Bandicoot games?

You see where I'm going with this you ignorant man? Change something that most of the fanbase are attached to in order to appeal to a new demographic and they will be pissed. But something tells me you don't know how people think. You may be autistic.

Friendly reminder.

Also the Temple of Time is facing the wrong way in BotW. The entrance is facing north instead of west like in OoT. The same is true for TP, it's facing south instead of west, so TP and BotW's maps need to be rotated to fit with the rest of Hyrule's, so Hylians have fucked up the direction of north over time.

I need to make one of these for the "This Link is HoT after losing to Ganon in OoT" theory, since I've been clinging to that for a while.

not really

there's the "1 line" time travel theory in which every action is fated to happen no matter what, so when you time travel all your actions lead up to the same outcome naturally, this theory eliminates paradoxes systematically and doesn't allow any

the multiverse time travel theory simply allows paradoxes to happen, like the one described earlier about link dying and yet being able to win and lose at the same time

I think that "leaker" is trying to say there will be more than just Kakariko Village/Hyrule Castle Marketplace/one town for each Zelda species for towns, as has been the case for past Zelda games.

Also the Ganondorf theory has been debunked because a Hyrule Castle jingle goes off whenever he approaches you.

He's the King.

Unless if the plot is REALLY wild and Ganondorf was a royal or a sage overlooking the Temple of Time, or maybe even the temporary King 100 years ago.

You detonate all bombs manually. Actually, now that I think about it, they COULD manually go off if they hit an enemy directly, which happens in a lot of Zelda games, but I didn't see that happen.

In any case, it is 100% possible to throw a bomb down, jump on your shield when you're right above it, and detonate it with the Item button. It's just that nobody tried it at E3.

I fucking hope so, the Gerudos have to be the most shafted species in Zelda history. We haven't even seen a single one since OoT because apparently they died in the flood in WW/got genocided off the desert in TP. Ganondorf was right, his people really are oppressed and on the brink of extinction.

It can only fit after TP.

The Ganon in FSA has been resurrected. He only dies in 3 games, LoZ, TP, and WW.

Hyrule is under water forever thanks to Daphnes' wish on the Triforce, so after WW is a no go.

AoL he needs the hero's blood to revive in the Downfall timeline, so that's also a no go.

It can literally only be after TP.

It is the exact same Temple of Time. They can't just up and move it, nobody can pull the Master Sword up in which to move it in the first place.

He really didn't do anything wrong. It's not his fault that he just happened to be a victim of Demise's curse, that was only further fueled by him living in a shitty land where his people were treated like trash to the nearby neighboring prosperous kingdom.

Hell if it wasn't for the curse, he would probably be a bro like Groose. Groose is pretty much the prerequisite to what Ganondorf was like and what he could've been if it weren't for Ganon possessing him and all.
