Timeline discussions on /v/ stir up less shit then most people think. In fact, most of the shit-stirring comes from the fact that any mention of any kind of timeline prompts 10 people to go "THREAD RUINED" or "THERES NO TIMELINE"

WHY MUST THEY TEASE US WITH SCREENSHOTS OBVIOUSLY MADE ON SOMETHING BESIDES A WII

>>88185085
These are from the old E3 build. Its far from finished. Link is basically the only thing that looked finished in that demo. The full game will look closer to the artwork and more consistent.

Why is everyone still hyped for skyward sword? The E3 presentation was a failure, and the screens look worse than the N64 Zelda. I'd rather have the Wind Breaker style than this hybrid piece of shit.

>>88185004

Well, in Spirit Tracks, which is a sequel to PH (Which was the sequel to WW) they find some kind of landmass. In Zelda 2, all the names of the various towns are the same as the names of the sages, so it's assumed that the landmass used in Zelda, Zelda II, and LTTP are the one found after WW.

Oh God, why is everything so...pastel and washed out?

>>88185232

>>88185412
it's stated that Zelda 2 is a direct sequel to Zelda 1, so that's settled.

>>88185284
That still doesn't deal with the major issues.

>Ganon dead and turned to stone

If thats true then where the fuck did Ganon and the rest of that shit come from? Not to mention the imprisoning war fiasco. Of course it used to be OOT but they retconned that.

it's hilarious to me how nintendo has been making epic zelda games for 25 years and still haven't managed to gain the trust of some gamers. they're always doubted, until the games actually come out.

god i wish they just converted to the windwaker style art

Oh now I remember where I've seen this style before..

It's neat but I think playing the entire game like this would be a chore, like TP's brownblooman.

>Not to mention the imprisoning war fiasco. Of course it used to be OOT but they retconned that.

What do you mean they retconned that? OOT is supposed to be the imprisoning war isn't it? Did they back out on that?

I was actually playing Ocarina of Time just now...first time since I was a wee lad.

So fill me in, what is Skyward Sword bringing to the table? I remember TP being repeatedly disappointing though it had the best women

>>88185525
Ganon came from the Gerudo land, we are given hints as to why he would wish to become evil, but you have a point they could make a game where you play Ganon from babby to fully formed evil mastermind.
The Triforce came from the three godesses
The master sword's origin may be shown in Skyward Sword, apparently there is a theory that the Skyward Sword dies and becomes the master sword

>>88185525

This can be resolved with simple nonsensical fantasy logic. The sword seals him away; after it was shoved in his goddamn skull, he didn't even die, he just muttered about the wind then turned to stone. If I know shit anything about standard fantasy bullshit, then chances are taking out the sword would undo the petrification. How someone got under the sea and pulled it out, a valid and fairly unresolved concern.

>>88185658
OOT used to be the imprisoning war in LttP. But after WW and TP and all the new games the first four Zelda games dont fit into the timeline anymore. They tried the retcon the imprisoning war with Four Swords Adventures but then Miyamoto back out of that too(allthough some of the game script is still on the disk).

But yeah the old

OOT > LttP > Z/Z2
doesn't fit with
OOTchild > MM > TP
OOTadult > WW > PH > ST
cleanly

The original games have becomes messy to fit into the timeline. Not to mention Miyamoto saying the LttP was a sequel to the original 2 around the OOT release.

Those first four games have gotten fucked over timeline wise.

Obviously this is first in the Timeline.

Link lives up in the Sky, right? Right next to the Gods.
Then, he goes to Earth and all those babies he makes become the new Links.

That explains why they're all "chosen" and all look the same - they have the seed of the Sky Hero in them all!

>>88186023
Whoever ruined that pic with jpg compression should be hanged by the neck until dead.

>>88185912
The problem with that timeline is that Master Sword CANNOT be in a forest in woods when it's sunk in Ganon's skull under the ocean. ST feeding into LTTP requires a heavy handed retcon.

>>88186023
>they have the seed of the Sky Hero in them all!

first Nintendo game to show paedo-rape? nice

>>88185973
Doesn't deal with the issue its under the sea potentially thousands of miles away.

>the landmass used in Zelda, Zelda II, and LTTP are the one found after WW.
is what i take issue with because there is no explanation for how all of that old hyrule shit came to ST land.

>>88184880
Wait, what is the part where he's all like 'Omg' and goes past the events of OoT? The neon green line?

>>88185990
OOT > LttP > Z/Z2

But OOT has 2 endings, don't forget. Was this timeline the child or adult timeline?

>>88186023
That's like.. the greatest picture I've ever seen in my life. Manly tears were shed

>>88185899
They should have played with the concepts they had more. Too much trying to be OOT.

Might have been nice if they'd combined elements of ALttP and OOT - made it a nation under the control of a tyrant so that the Rebellion group in Telma's bar actually has something to rebel against. Plus, that sense of being an outlaw is always fun in a game.

>>88186172
green line = traveling back in time

>>88186172
look closely. zelda sending link back in time.

>>88185973
Remember that guy who went around with a crane salvaging lost treasures?

He probably pulled it out and woke Ganondorf up.

>>88186023
WHERE'S COLIN?

>>88186270
Yes, but.. wait what.

The part where Zelda sends him back to his childhood and right after should be Majora's Mask, and then right after that should be Wind Waker.

>>88183864
Why do he look like jackson
WTF MAN every other link had some class this one just look like a black turned white fuck that shit im out

>Aonuma: There was a sense that we had made The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess too big. We felt like we weren't able to fully leverage its scale and not quite package it into one solid piece. So we wanted to make sure we first built a strong foundation for the game and then create a compact, yet solid playing experience.
>Iwata: I see. You're not saying there was too much to enjoy, but rather you might have been able to increase the density of game elements while packaging so many stages and other ideas in its vast world.
>Miyamoto: Yeah, it's really more...it's not about game density, but about the density of play.

>>88186162

Well, Ganon and The Master Sword makes up the entirety of "All that shit". Things like the kingdom can be rebuilt. As for how someone (supposedly a descendant of Link) got to the bottom of the goddamn ocean and pulled a sword out of a petrified skull, well...

Certainly stranger things have happened in LoZ? The ST landmass being the new Hyrule makes the most sense to me, but yeah that is a considerable fault with the theory.

>>88186128

Not like you can upload the original here, though. Too big. Too awesome.

>>88186162
>>88185973
As far as I see it is IMPOSSIBLE for Zelda 2's plot to coherently be placed after the great flood. Because the royal traditions and holdings were destroyed along with it. They sure couldn't have preserved the first Zelda sleeping through all of that.

>>88186210
This was back before that theory existed. It doesn't make much sense if you take the split timeline into account. Especially considering WW.

It used to be that Ganons seal in OOT transcended time so link goes back to being a kid and puts the master sword back. Then hundreds of years later ganon breaks the seal and LttP happens and the ToT has becomes the sacred grove of the MM. Basically both endings happened.

>>88186453
>Miyamoto: A real challenge with Twilight Princess was that as development moved from the earlier stages into the latter half, that balance was lost. The 3D Modeling Team was steadily expanding the size of the game, but the actual content of the game was not keeping pace. The longer the 3D modeling and the content remain out of step, the more sparse the game becomes. Or, game content starts interfering with other content and spoiling it. Trying to get that under control is a real challenge. Putting it another way, perhaps it's controlling the balance of "sparsity" and "density" that actually makes a Zelda game.

>>88186476

You seen the castle in Spirit Tracks? It pretty much looks just like the goddamn castle from WW. Not a lot of originality from Tetra and the first settlers.

>>88186411
FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

>>88186568
>"What we are focused on is creating gameplay mechanics so the gameplay experience feels very dense. In fact, the overall experience is going to feel more dense," Miyamoto said. "We hope that people will want to go back and replay the game once they finish it."

TP's big problem was gimmicky new gadgets that only had 1-2 uses, and retarded ass new villains.

That whole shadow thing was crap. And turning into a wolf was just bad, liked it better when it was a pink bunny with no opposable thumbs.

>>88185284
>>88185525
I've had a problem with that theory for the longest time. For one problem; no one remembers the names of the sages nor the Hero of Time in the Wind Waker era. Founding cities named after them -and fucking Mido- is a stretch. But still they're pretty important characters without being sages... so why wouldn't that fit in the child timeline?

>>88186463
The fact Twilight Princess places the Master Sword in an overgrowing Temple of Time seems to REALLY set up the forest local of the Master Sword in Link to the past. That makes far more logical sense than an incredibly contrived scenario to undo a considerable effort to remove the elements of Ganon and The Master Sword.

>>88186651
>Miyamoto: “With Super Mario Galaxy 2, for example, we were flexing our gaming muscles. The sense of satisfaction from making a difficult game is amazing."

>>88184828
SO link is turning gay and hes into bondage now good for him im glad I left after GC,PS2,XBOX Gen

one thing for sure is that OOT is when ganondorf FIRST obtains the triforce of power and becomes ganon, so if ganon shows up in ss, everything goes to shit.

>Hidemaro Fujibayashi is a Nintendo video game designer, previously being employed at Capcom's Flagship studios before its closure. Having directed The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, the Four Swords segment of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, Nintendo quickly hired him after Capcom closed the studio to work on new Zelda games. His first project at Nintendo was being the sub director of the Nintendo DS video game The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Shortly after the completion of that title, he went on to direct The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Wii.

I wish i could hate you to death.

>>88186694

Yeah, I could see the 3 being after TP.
You know honestly, I never thought of that.
Not sure why. Maybe I attributed Ganon's status after TP as "Perma-Dead" while I just thought of the petrified one as "Sealed".

>>88186677
the wolf wasn't bad, it just didn't fit in with the story well. the items were shitty yea, as they literally didn't havea sue outside dungeons but overall the world was more immersive and better tailored toward the art style. I think it's the best if not second best zelda console game in the series

>>88186856
some of the best dungeons in the series

>>88186677
Yes. The Twilight realm should have been done differently.
I think if they had simply made it a realm in which you can see people's true souls and such would have made it interesting. Like a more powerful lense of truth, you'd have to enter it to discover hidden things and then re-enter the real world.

The way they did it in TP, the Twilight Realm was just a chore.

>>88186856
Its a solid action adventure game/zelda game. If anyone tells you the game is bad they're retarded, clearly they have never played an actual bad game and are just overreacting to a less than spectacular entry to the series.

Its a Zelda game, its worth it. Just play it and enjoy it. Its not the best but its not the worst, whatever.

Nice image OP, but I prefer mine.

Why, what happens tomorrow?

>>88187031
His is better as a thumbnail

>>88187030
It's not BAD, but you have to admit that it's got some pretty fucked up design compared to previous games.

I think what irritated me the most was RUPEES, RUPEES EVERYWHERE.

>>88186736
I personally think it's likely that Ganon exists independently of Ganondorf. Ganondorf is a sorcerer, so he probably made some communion or pact with the creatures of the Dark World. In return, Ganondorf actas as a way for Ganon to act in the real world without actually escaping the Dark World fully.

It's a shame they canned the Ganondorf back story from Wind Waker because of the deadline.

The concept art was pretty good.

>>88186926
It looked cool but it could have been a lot more fun.

I have to disagree about the items though, I thought TP's items got far, FAR more use outside of the dungeons you found them in than OOT's.

>>88187175
hurr

>>88185570
I disagree I liked TWP Better
But I liked WW art very much and I think it could have been better
WW art for land water wind etc was awesome
Every character model and art looked hideous
If they had the model from TWP with the art from WW then it would be GOTY ALL YEAR
This new art is trying to much to be a mix of twp and ww art when you try to please everyone you will end up almost pleasing none

>>88187129
I don't like that theory. Ganon has to be Ganondorf.

>>88187122
Like i said, its not the best Zelda game. But even a bad Zelda game is still a great game.

Ever played a game called Metal Dungeon on the original xbox? Now that is a bad game with poor design.

who doesnt love this commercial?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90ES9XnZrhY

>>88185912
Yeah but I started hating the whole franchise because of WW
Ganon is not evil the gods are evil
They destroy Ganon land and made suffer is people
I felt bad for killing ganon

>>88187333
It's hideous.

>>88187279
I have it on DVD.

>>88187122
Personally I thought the game reintroduced old elements with a breath of fresh air.

The desert crypt level was really well designed, for example, as was the dungeon behind the Temple of Time. I know it recycled the "control a statue clone" mechanic from WW, but the scale and improved graphics really added to the atmosphere of exploring a sacred place long since untouched by man.

It's little things like that which make TP, and almost all Zelda games worth it. You might argue that it's not the best game in the franchise, but as a stand-alone game it was great. At least for me.

>>88186871
True; Ganon had.... like seven hundred magics involved with killing him in Twilight Princess. But I feel Ganon somehow overcoming that as a plot of the next time, whether as a split entity sealed in the dark world or something, is par for the course. While the Master Sword's location sets some kind of continuity.

It also helps my thinking that none of the train or technological advancements are seen in LTTP, LOZ, or AOL.
