>The face she's making in OP's pic is literally her going "Oh god; I literally used you as a tool and robbed you of your childhood."
I always thought that face meant that Zelda was sad to part with Link.
She didn't use Link, as Link was chosen by the triforce. Zelda never asked the Deku Tree for Link.
The time in-game where Sheik/Zelda spends with Link is short, but there is this sense of partnership going on, even though Link never is sure if Sheik is a friend or not, Zelda knows, and she's also watching, almost stalking him if you will. She could have grown attached to him on a sentimental way.
Your view is interesting too, but I still think my initial impression was the intended. I could be wrong.
Ultimately, even if not romantic, Zelda is still sad to part ways with Link, I don't think that face means she's guilty.

I’m more of the mind that he should have retired from heroing and spent the rest of his days in peace, quiet, sweaty, bareback fucking, and family raising with Malon at Lon-Lon Ranch...

...But the real problem is that he went back to the past to begin with. I don’t know if there’s a timeline where he stays, but there should be. When you think about it, that would be the timeline where the vast majority of fanfics and fancomics take place.

Before Twilight Princess and the Hyrule Historia timeline I always thought that sealing Ganondorf away in the Sacred Realm removed him from time completely. All versions of him, past, present, and future no longer existed at any point in the timeline. It was the only thing that made sense to me as a kid to explain why sending Link back in time didn't just create an endless time loop. Then Link goes back to Zelda as a kid not to warn her about Ganondorf but to become friends with her because he regretted not getting to know her more.

Link is a farmer in Twilight Princess which takes place in the future of OoT's timeline, meaning that Link is a descendant of the OoT Link.

[Anonymous No.6107129]

>>6107092
Nah, it was pretty well-known at the time of release from marketing that OoT was meant to be a prequel to LttP, which we already knew to be a prequel (and "soft reboot" as they're called these days) to Zelda 1. MM was then a sequel to OoT and it was WW that fucked everything up and made shit confusing, then TP took that further and made it worse. At the time of SS they released Hyrule Historia and autists went mad obsessing over the canon of the timeline. Everyone at Nintendo obviously regretted that a lot and that's why BotW is just set 10,000 years into the future and gives zero fucks about the canonicity or timeline placement of any game that comes before it.

Except Zelda is about reincarnation, not about family lines. The hero can be reincarnated anywhere, they're "descendants" in spirit only.

[Anonymous No.6107142]

The timeline is nonsense

[Anonymous No.6107158]

>>6107136
It kind of does both. In TP there are lines of dialog that seem pretty explicit about that Link being a descendent, though he could be a reincarnation as well.

There’s some tease about him probably being with Malon what with the farmlife and everything but obviously it’s not something that will ever be hard confirmed.

I’m surprised they bothered to create Ilia’s character when Malon is nearly the same, down to having fat lazy dads. Though Im also kinda glad, cause the amnesia plotline in TP was one of the most forced, stupid things in that game which is saying a lot.

[Anonymous No.6107229]

>>6107158
Ilia feels more like a weird combination of malon, saria and zelda to me.
She looks a fair bit like a typical zelda, is a farmer and rancher like malon, but has a personal history with outcast link more akin to saria, plus she has short hair and is associated with the forest section of the game.
Yet in spite of everything, she's pretty forgettable.

You’d think combining all those elements would make her a stronger character but it ends up making her more generic.

Ilia probably would have been more fondly remembered if Midna wasn't the big spotlight character of Twilight Princess. I think Nintendo learned from this and that's why Zelda herself has been focused on a lot more at least since Spirit Tracks on, so the love interest of the game wouldn't get usurped.

Not giving an actual fuck about the timeline is the right move.
All the fun out of the fandom was the speculation, or picking apart the little nods the games have to each other. The official timeline pretty much ruined all zelda lore discussions, since now they're just arguments about how nintendo should have never created a timeline.

OOT forever broke the lore with Link, Zelda and Ganon forever having the triforce pieces within them. Instead of being a legendary, sacred treasure to find, it became midichlorians in the blood of three characters to endlessly and pointlessly fight with, every couple of generations.

Where were the Knights of Hyrule that ALttP mentioned as protecting the Sages? Why does Ganondorf only get one Triforce piece when ALttP says he got the whole thing? Why are the Zoras so radically changed between OoT and ALttP (before later games tried to say the evil fire-spitters were a river-dwelling sub-species)?

No, I don't see it. OoT was a reboot, just like how Star Fox 64 and F-Zero X ignored the SNES games and started fresh.

My personal headcanon ever since I was a kid is that the Zelda games are like the legends/myths of Hyrule. It's some real history mixed with mythical fantasy elements, and that accounts for the inconsistencies. It's like the legends around King Arthur or that one king who supposedly slayed a dragon that may have just been a giant crocodile. The "real" Hyrule may or may not have actual magic, but our only real view or interaction with the history of Hyrule is through its fantastical stories.

So, for example, there may have been a war at some point in Hyrule's history, between Hyrule and some invaders led by their king, Ganondorf. But how did this war actually go? Was there a great magical sealing? A hero with a magic sword forged by a great blacksmith? Maybe, but we can't know for sure, we only know that's the story that's told by the people of Hyrule. So the story told in LttP's manual may be closer to the reality of what happened, with all-out war and sages leading the army, but then there's another tale of the sealing war that involves a young hero traveling through time to seal away the evil Ganondorf with the help of the sages. That version of the tale is OoT. Where did the Master Sword come from? Perhaps it was simply the sword of an influential general of Hyrule, or maybe it was a mystical sword forged by the sages. But there's another version of the story, about a boy who fell from the sky and traveled the world to empower the Goddess Sword and turn it into the Master Sword-- This is the story of Skyward Sword. And so on with all of the games. The games we play are essentially the legends, myths, and oral traditions of the land of Hyrule which offer a window into the land's history through the lens of heroic fantasy. So it's not about taking the canon or timelines super seriously, but just enjoying the stories as they are. Not unlike when you read through real myths of ancient human cultures. It's all about perspective.

[Anonymous No.6107695]

>>6107603
The sages were just 7 particular magic dudes who sealed the sacred realm against Ganondorf the thief when got his wish for power and trapped him in there. Hence why he went after their descendants to break the seal, it's not stated that the sages are important people beyond being the ones to seal the scared realm. The knights of Hyrule were just elite royal guards who were tasked to guard the sages as they performed the sealing, basically the idea that they were pretty cool but their bloodline's thinned and things aren't what they used to be, back in my day I'd two shot a Lynel with only one heart etc. They occupy the "herditrary familes who protect the royal family" idea that would be recast as the Sheikah in oot. Link in LttP is only hinted to be a decendant but is more importantly cast as the God/Triforce's champion anyway so it's not a big deal.

As a kid I ignored all canon lore and even the games themselves to convince myself that every single Link was the same guy.

I love the fact that it seems like they wrote all the timelines back into each other, and that BotW is so far removed from the previous. Having the setting be 10,000 years past a point where Hyrule was hyper advanced in it's tech (then add another 100 years of a devastated bad end Hyrule on top of that) really drove home the feeling of adventure and the fact that you were likely the actual last hope against evil. Despite the tight focus of the previous games I think BotW is everything the Zelda series should represent, a player driven adventure.

Not him but I came to the same conclusion. They dont have any spoken lines but some do have the kokiri symbol/jewel pattern tattooed onto their arms.

Kokiri are based on the japanese mythical Kodama, who are just general forest spirits that take different forms depending on the individual story about them. If you’ve seen Princess Mononoke, the little white dudes are one example (and bear a remarkable similarity to koroks in wind waker). Also to drive home the spirit thing, the kokiri in oot are the only townspeople in the game that fade out with draw distance. Might just be cause kokiri town has all those particle effects but it ties together well.

But they’re a bunch of pretty intelligent monkies living in a hallowed out giant tree that’s probably supposed to be an old deku tree. If you think of the kokiri as a type of spirit rather than a race then the theory makes a lot of sense.

It’s made pretty obvious they’ve tried that at length and he refused to listen. Link was an almost random (if fated) factor who ended up as a surprise plan B for her.

She feels responsible for everything that happened cause she played a crucial part, but she was one of many cogs in ganon’s plan. Deku tree, darunia and zora king all fucked up just as much by handing out their stones.

No mayamoto if ive even spelling it right said a long time ago back when this game was still recent that there was a time line. He never said exactly what it was back then it was just this game plus Alttp zelda 1 and 2 and LA. The reddit nerds just made one that made sense after they had made several new games.

She gave Ganon the keys to the Sacred Realm without realizing it, and she even removed the final key he couldn't have ever removed on his own. She then failed to realize how easily Ganon could find her just by keeping tabs on Link. Finally, she got her timeline destroyed by removing Link from it, which also trapped him in a lonely life and a world he couldn't relate to or share his experiences with.

OoT Zelda really fucked up hard.

Eh. I don't really care about the timeline shit because timetravel fuckery never makes sense in the first place. I always thought it made more sense for WW's timeline to follow his journey into Terminia anyway

[Anonymous No.6113046]

>>6105798
Definitely should have, considering what happened in between OOT and WW. By sending him back in time to do whatever he wants, Zelda essentially erased Link from her time, throwing a wrench in the whole hero cycle until someone else has to step in.

I think I realized that Malon = Mario and Ingo = Luigi when I first played OoT. Then I remembered that Talon is based on Tarin and suddenly realized why he was hunting mushrooms and turning into a raccoon. I felt pretty dumb.

before they made the timeline I always figured ALTTP happened in new reality Link creates at the end of the game, like he warns the King about Ganondorf and the King banishes him and then far later the war happens with Ganondorf killing his minions and grabbing the Triforce after having been denied it in Ocarina. It couldn't be during the adult portion of the game since the sages are all different races instead of a bunch of old men

[Anonymous No.6113491]

That's never made sense to me because by the game's own mechanics the so-called Adult timeline was created and destroyed every time Link pulled or relinquished the Master Sword. Once he gave it up for the last time at the end of the game that timeline should have been closed for good.

I also don't like the Hero's Shade, but that's mainly just because they made OoT Link sound like a whiny little bitch

>>6113042
The Japanese script of The Wind Waker referred to him losing the Triforce of Courage because of the timeline split. The English script literally made stuff up about him simply leaving Hyrule on a journey.

>>6113491
Time flowed naturally after Link first drew the Master Sword, so he was actually traveling between the present and the past. Shit had already hit the fan in the time the Master Sword kept bringing Link back to as well. At the end of the game, Zelda instead uses the Ocarina of Time to send Link back and actually splits the timeline. This is why Link is totally absent in the present ("future") scenes in the credits.

Yup. Also kind of ditzy and (maybe just my headcanon) flirtatious. If only Majora's Mask could have released a few years later when fan hubs like DeviantArt and Tumblr came to fore, Nintendo might've realized how popular she was with fans of that game and included her in future titles.

Sorta. In TP they appear in the gerudo desert of all places, and in games that came out before oot they appear all over. They’re tied to the forest pretty strongly in oot, but that’s not necessarily the only place with them. They even show up a lot in the shadow temple.

No. It's said that getting lost in the Lost Woods will turn you into a Stalfos, but that doesn't mean it's the only way to become a Stalfos or that Stalfos only exist in the Lost Woods.
