The Link to the Past manual is still really cool to me.

It was made by Koizumi, so that isn't surprising.

Imagine a world where he was in charge of the 'lore' and could tell the other devs to shove their ideas in their face like Miyamoto does. That would be wonderful.

It's amazing that Zelda has this thought out ancient origin of the Triforce, when the game itself just feels like the most basic plot ever with an empty sandbox of a generic fantasy world

That was mostly embellishment in localization. The actual Japanese manual was far less flowery and more to-the-point.

I just wish it did not have that coating on the covers that keeps all my young fingerprints all over it.

Still can't get over the fact that some bonehead intern accidentally recanonized "Dragmire"

Zelda.com dragged back Dragmire through the quagmire, and idiots who aren't aware of the site's notorious history take it as being reconfirmed, despite being dead and buried for over a quarter-century and none of his origin games ever saying it.

That's as silly as the constant localization change that Ganon's a wizard (a thing only ever established by the Zelda CARTOON).

You're retarded if you think he isn't a wizard. Though calling him a sorcerer would be more apt in my opinion.

Interesting how they use the term "Master Force", the first time I notice they use Master for something other than the sword.

Good question.
Generally we like to use archive.org because they have a good collection of both english and japanese manuals.
It also has a very large amount of classic strategy guides and game magazines.

And yet in-game cutscenes in both Ocarina and Twilight Princess about the Triforce's origin and the war to obtain it are practically 1:1 with the American manual to Link to the Past. Embellishment or not, shit's canon.

dude you're being a onions, zelda has the most shit-tier two-dimensional character filled story. I mean I'm a tendie, but this is just sad my guy. If miyamoto sold you a mario dildo and told you to go fuck yourself, you'd still find a way to do some mental gymnastics to make nintendo sound better than they are.

I know that you got this from someone mentioning it on r/zelda discord. I see you.
