It is debatable if he had the full version. Link's entering of the room could have resulting in the piece within him to go join the other 2 (one from Zelda one from Ganon)
When LTTP was written, I doubt Nintendo EVER planned they'd make OOT, which would then be a BACKSTORY to LTTP's story... Considering this, Nintendo did damn well to make OOT be a well done backstory to LTTP...
They did a decent job, but it was far from being a damn good job to the backstory to A link to the Past. Take a look at the comparisons.
A link to the Past's Gates to the Golden Land:
One day quite back accident, a gate to the Golden Land of the Triforce was opened by a gang of thieves skilled in the black arts. This land was like no other. In the gathering twlight, the Triforce shone from its resting place high above the world. In a long running battle, the leader of the thieves fought his way past his followers in lust for the Golden Power. After vanquishing his own followers, the leader stood triumphant over the Triforce and grasped it with his blood stained hands. He heard a whispered voice: "If thou has a strong desire or dream, wish for it..." And in reply, the roaring laughter of the brigand leader echoes across time and space and even reached the far-off land of Hyrule. The name of this king of thieves is Ganondorf Dragmire, but he is also known by his alias, Mandrag Ganon, which means Ganon of the Enchanted Thieves.
Now let's look what was seen in Ocarina of Time:
Ganondorf knew he needed the three spiritual stones, his lurking presence to where they were at is evidence enough that he needed them. He knew he needed the Ocarina of Time, he chased Zelda after it. When he seen Link in his own twisted mind he thought he may have realized the person who could open the seal. Link opens the gate by pulling out the Master Sword, and Ganondorf goes inside, and says he owes it all to him.
So by comparison, did Ganondorf have to make a run for the Triforce in the Ocarina of Time? No, not that we can tell. Did Ganondorf kill his fellow thieves in lust for the Golden Power? No, not that we know of and why would he kill the gerudo thieves anyway. Also they had no idea that Ganondorf was after the Triforce, and they were they only ones in Hyrule that was left unpunished. So it doesn't seem to me that he was off killing his followers, it doesn't even sound anything like it. Then we have him grasping the complete Triforce, it telling him if he has a wish or a dream to do so and the inanimate object would grant it. In Ocarina of Time however, Ganondorf didn't get to have a wish, he was only left with Power, but it was enough for him to conqueor Hyrule for seven long years.
Maybe I am just overanalyzing things a bit, but lets look further at the Imprisoning War and see if it will match up to the things that happened in Ocarina of Time.
I do not know what Ganon wished for from the Triforcr. However, in time evil power began to flow from the Golden Land and greedy men were drawn there to become members of Ganon's army. Black clouds permanently darkened the sky, and many disasters beset Hyrule.
Well the sky wasn't completely darkened in Ocarina of Time, but things did get pretty gloom. Perhaps the greedy men who joined Ganon's army turned into Moblins, Redeads, Stalfoses, and other monsters. But wait though Redeads could be found in Link's childhood, as could the Stalfos, but maybe he just turned them into these creatures to give them inhuman strenght. Still though lets look a bit further here and see what we can find.
The Triforce, being an inanimate object, cannot judge between good and evil. Therefore, it could not know Ganon's wishes were evil; it merely granted them. Suspecting Ganon's power was based on theTriforce's magic, the people of Hyrule forged a sword resistant to magic which could repulse even powers granted by the Triforce. This mighty weapon became known as the blade of evil's bane, or the Master Sword. It was so powerful that only one who was strong of body could wield it. As the Seven Wise Men searched for a valiant person to take up the Master Sword, Ganon's evil army swarmed from the tainted Golden Land into Hyrule and attacked the castle. The wise men and the Knights of Hyrule combined forces to wage war on this evil horde.
Okay time for a bit of a break here again and let us go back to what the Ocarina of Time has to say about all of this.
Ganondorf isn't getting his wishes granted, infact he was looking for the two remaining pieces. The Master Sword was already legendary at this point and had not just been forged in Ocarina of Time, though this may have been cleared up in the new manual. The Seven Sages did not look for a hero valiant enough to wield the Master Sword, infact no one but Zelda perhaps suggested Link to go get it in Ocarina of Time. Also the Seven Sages did not look for Link, Link searched for them in the Ocarina of Time. Ganondorf sprung an attack on Hyrule Castle in Ocarina of Time, but in the Imprisoning War his army was staged in the tainted Golden Land. Link also was the main one to confront Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time, but he was however aided in the end by the Seven Sages to finally defeat and seal Ganon in the Sacred Realm. The Knights of Hyrule did not help him one damn bit, but as we take a look further the Imprisoning War states otherwise.
The Knights took the full blunt the fierce attack, and although they fought courageously, many a brave soul was lost that day. However, their lives were not lost in vain, for they brought precious time the Seven Wise Men to magically seal Ganon in the Golden Land. All of Hyrule rejoiced at the victory that upheld peace and order over Ganon's evil and chaos. This war which had claimed many lives, became known as the Imprisoning War in stories told in later centuries.
Okay I wouldn't doubt that the Knights fought bravely against Ganondorf during Link's childhood quest, but they were supposed to be fighting along with the Seven Sages, and the Sages in Ocarina of Time didn't even know they were sages until Link had awakened them. It also seems to me though that Ganon's stronghold was still in the tainted Golden Land, and that he was sending his army from there, but in Ocarina of Time he staged his whole attack clearly in Hyrule itself. He got the Triforce of Power and took over, and no one could stop him, until Link came along.
Now it does state later that many people in Hyrule had forgotten about the Imprisoning War, but the scholar who wrote this did not say that he forgot it. Nor has some people in A link to the Past forgotten about the Imprisoning War, such as Sahasrahla, the maidens, and I think even the Old Man atop Death Mountain who may have known about a few things here and there.
Also Ganon had the complete Triforce. It is evident even after you beat the game. The essence of the Triforce explains everything in full detail, and Link makes his wish on it. Also you have too many people saying that Ganon had the complete Triforce. The Tree in the Dark World claims that the King of Darkness harnessed the Golden Power, the maidens do, and so on, and it was never stated that Link or Zelda had a piece of the Triforce. And if they did I am sure Ganon would have stated it somewhere in there.
Now Nintendo may not have planned to do OoT at the time of LttP, well of course they wouldn't it is an older game (LttP that is), but they did plan on doing the OoT after what the events of the Imprisoning War was supposed to be. They should have looked over every single detail and got their story straight instead of setting up so many questions. If they would have had a perfect presentation of the Imprisoning War, but they didn't so my response is that Nintendo did damn well to raise [img]http://forums.legendsalliance.com/public/ALOT.png[/img] of questions, not make a game based on some event in the backstory of LttP. Oh yeah the Wind Waker doesn't help things either. That is trying to connect it after LttP since Ganondorf breaks from his seal and whatnot.
Oh yeah I do need to bring up that this is about the Light Force too:lmao:.
Whoops, did we get carried away.
