Fuck Yeah Hyrule
How would you feel if Nintendo decided to re-make all of the Zeldas like Skyward Sword?
No. Just… No.
January 2012
So, you do realize that you were wrong about the Sheikah symbol in Skyward Sword, right? Telling everyone that there was no way it was the eye of truth, remember? Tch.
I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO POINT THAT OUT. I’m glad you did anon.
However, I still hold to my original statement. Those timeshift stones have absolutely zero connection to the Sheikah. I still don’t think it had anything to do with the eye of truth. The eye of truth was portrayed elsewhere. The REAL eye of truth, and the symbol you and I are talking about here are not the same. Why would they have 2 different eyes of truth in the same game? If all the rest of the symbols resembled this one, then I would concede that you are right. But alas anon. You are still not right. Not saying that I AM right, but I wasn’t wrong ;)
See? Not the same. Even though they are fairly similar, I still do not believe that the top image is the eye of truth.

non-bitchy zelda fan here. the only thing i've said about the timeline is that it is "interesting". just like i say with everyone elses theories before the timeline came out. and then i go and play my zelda games. not a single fuck given.
Dear bitchless fan,
Good call.
Reblog if you're spending New Year's in Hyrule.
But that's what EVERYONE wanted. All the theories floating around and people begging for a timeline and now they get it and can't stop whining about it? We got what we wanted, and the timeline certainly doesn't include future games so we can still have fun trying to figure out where those games fit in.
People will never stop whining. It’s human nature to find SOMETHING to bitch about. Now people will just be whining about how that timeline doesn’t fit with their theory blah blah blah. (which is NOT what I am doing. I’m simply saying that the third tier makes sense, but only if Link failed as a kid in OOT, and he didn’t.)
the reason they had to create the failure timeline in the first place is because OoT fucked up the established canon in the first place, and too many games were created around OoT. ALttP literally can't happen if a Link is there to stop Ganon in the past, and OoT gives us a Link to stop him. therefore, the only way for ALttP and the games that follow it to continue being canon was to create the failure idea.
I know. I just wish they would have left it ambiguous, and let us all theorize til we die. Revealing the “timeline” was a bad move and sucked a lot of fun out of being a Zelda fan.
kaloyan-alett: Link failing
I think kid Link in OOT could fail to kill Ganondorf if he did not possess the Master Sword. The Master Sword was only given to that Link as an adult because the child version of him could not wield it. Also do not forget that special arrows are required to kill Ganondorf and that Link could not wield bow and arrows as a child. Crap excuse I know but it’s something.
I fully realize that kid link would have failed, but the fact is… He didn’t. He didn’t ever fight Ganondorf. So to base an ENTIRE TIMELINE on that circumstance is so unbelievably lame.
So if in Ocarina of Time young Link died trying to fight Ganondorf how do you think Wind Waker Link could beat Ganondorf? I think it's because he was 13 and not 10 and before the game started he used to train with Orca so he wasn't just a kid that found a sword.
I’m not so sure that that really makes a difference.
Also, I am still kind of rejecting the notion that Link failed to defeat Ganondorf. I think it’s a shit way of justifying that part of the timeline. It DIDNT happen. It’s a hypothetical idea that doesn’t actually happen in any of the games, that nintendo is using to make their timeline make sense. It’s dumb and I hate it.
ANY Link can kill Ganondorf. We know this because he’s done it in EVERY single game where Ganondorf has been the villain.
What's your New Year's resolution?
To play more Zelda. Same as every year.
