People actually think Rock Me Amadeus, We Built This City and The Final Countdown are good songs?

The Final Countdown is a kickass workout song.

When will Zelda fans realize there was never a timeline.

When it stops being obvious there is one. I'm not saying it covers all the games, but it's there. You don't need Aonuma's super secret doc to see that.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #7578 on:** October 09, 2011, 09:35:03 AM »

Zelda games boil down to this:

"we need new zelda"
"what innovation will we introduce this time?"
"ahahahahaha"
"sike i kid. i was riding the train last night, lets do a game like that"
"ok. i add the puzzles, you add the trains"
"kk what about the story?"

Quote from: Wrath2X on October 09, 2011, 04:23:06 AM

So a bunch of Ocarina of Time sequels, references here and there mean there's a time line? And Nintendo cares about the timeline enough to have it as a priority?

1. They make a game.
2. Add a few references here and there.
3. call it a sequel, prequel, different timeline, dream or whatever.
4. Nerdlingers cry and obsess on the interwebz whether links awakening was the sequel to A Link To The Past or not and this new game is set in between young and adult link's time in OOT, dreaming about birds in the milk bar on Termina.

This is probably true for the most part, but it's those references I'm referring to as the timeline. The problem comes when people hear "timeline" and imagine that Nintendo has a bunch of future games mapped out already, which just isn't the case and has never been.

things like this are just cute asides to me. the stories in those games isn't anything serious, essentially it's just to give you a reason to move from left to right. the small things like cranky being the original donkey kong is like galaga and dig dug "being in the same universe". doesn't matter at all, just a fun little trivial thing.

also, I've always considered the zelda stories to more or less be retellings of the same story; in that it is "the legend of zelda" and and all the games feature the same mytheme and structure. in the end I don't particularly care as I haven't enjoyed a zelda game in a while, but whatevs.

People want to feel like the games they've played for decades are connected, that there's some over-arcing story behind the whole thing, ESPECIALLY since the early games in the series did have connected stories.

It would be pretty fucking easy to do this, but Nintendo is distinguished mentally-challenged.

The disregard for continuity is a big reason why I don't give a fuck about Zelda anymore.

oh lawd

Just tell me you're not going to start losing your shit over Zelda continuity like you did with Avatar, Willco, etc.

Since Zelda takes itself more seriously than Donkey Kong I pay attention to that stuff more. And the references to other games do, in general, enhance my experience while playing it.

I DON'T want it to become fricking FF13 or anything. What it does now is completely fine. Thicker story threads than most of Nintendo's other franchises without devolving into melodramatic, overwrought FF or MGS BS.

Quote from: AWESOM-O on October 09, 2011, 07:22:10 PM

And no, I haven't even played a Zelda game in years. I'm just a fan of world-building and storytelling in general, and I hate to see potential go to waste. Zelda did have one of the more interesting videogame mythologies until Nintendo decided they didn't care about that aspect of the series.

The mythology is there and present in every game. Just because the individual games usually aren't strongly connected and recycling the exact game characters* every game doesn't mean Nintendo abandons it every game. We never would have gotten Wind Waker if Nintendo had set out to make OoT 2, 3, 4, etc. TP gets enough heat as it is for just taking place in non-submerged Hyrule.

* Different Links, Zeldas etc. are different characters.

I know they're different Links, different Zeldas, etc. I saw the story as taking place across hundreds of years and multiple generations, with Ganon as the immortal villain who keeps reappearing for the next Link to face.

One of the next Zelda titles should really end with the world getting flooded though.

Nah, there's really no need for that. It's a neat idea, but WW's intro specifically state that only happened because there was no Link.
