I don't know if I can handle all the people attempting to explain or rationalize continuity between the games. I find I enjoy them more if I just accept them as separate entitites unless there's continuity noted (Like OoT -> MM -> TWW).
-
I dounno, I don't pay much attention to it.
All I know is that I'll be pissed if the next console Zelda doesn't have anything to do with Twilight Princess or Midna. :'(

Megaman Timeline
All of the different series connect ya know. (except those cyberspace ones)
-
Sir, you have a point:
The timeline in these games is my number one gripe with the series.
Come on, Nintendo, make it fucking simple.
-
The Zelda games are like the James Bond films, same characters, loosely familar plot, but with different locations, and different twists thrown in.
Don't try to link them it doesn't work.
The only ones that have a link are:
The Legend of Zelda -> Zelda II: Links Adventure
Ocarina of Time: Majora's Mask
-
Nah, The Wind Waker also makes direct references to Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. It's pretty much understood that it takes place sometime in the future.
-
Yep. Stupidity.
-
Nintendo doesn't care so why should dumb N-things? Miyamoto has said before that he doesn't go into Zelda game development thinking about how it'll fit with the other games - he doesn't give a shit.
Granted, Twilight Princess and WW both are connected to OOT, but this isn't much of a suprise considering that game's huge influence on gaming (and financial success)
-
Yea, that shit is fucking distinguished mentally-challenged.
I knew a guy who made a totally fucked up timeline just to show how stupid it all is, and when reposted it would bring a league of morons in to debate its legitimacy.
-
I like what some dude on GAF said about Zelda being more of a legend being told from different view points.
That would be a fucking cool explanation.
