It didn't need to be outright said, although it may as well have been because that was the intention of the writer.

I take it you and the writer are buds jk. I know what you mean, and it most likely was his intention. HOWEVER, Nintendo are known to go over past games and see how new games can be made without contradicting the storyline. How else do you think OoT was made? Therefore, although the original story was most likely meant to be read how you suggested, it may now be canon to consider it in another light as new games have been released.

http://www.zeldalege...nual_story.html

"Shodai" means "first generation" or "founder."

That still works. The sleeping Zelda can still be the founder of the rule that all future girls born in the royal family must be named Zelda.

Possible, but note that Zelda is first introduced as soon as Impa starts talking. At this point there is no mention of the law, it simply translates to 'she is the first' Zelda. Hence this explination is flawed.

Nothing fill the holes of "Where was the rest of the Triforce that the prince couldn't find?" or "Why didn't the royal family ever wake up the sleeping Zelda when they had the chance?"

Once again. Triforce Split (OoT), Zelda Sleeps (AoL), Triforce Found (aLttP), Link Leaves It In Castle (OoX), King Cannot Find Someone Good Enough To Weild It (AoL), Triforce Hidden (AoL).

This is just a quick sketch of a possible idea. As to why Link from aLttP didn't wake Zelda... He didn't know. He doesn't meet Impa, and he is too busy saving other countries to worry.

Again, the simplest explanation is usually correct. One could look at it and think "Oh, so I guess she wasn't the very first Zelda after all, just the founder of the naming rule that followed." or, as you've suggested "Well I guess that the rest of the Triforce that the prince was searching for had absolutely no relevance to the rest of the story and it was found somewhere inbetween but then the royal family chose to hide it rather than awaken the sleeping Zelda like they had hoped to do even though centuries later Impa the royal house maid who had the story passed down to her through generations practically begged Link to bring back the Triforce of Courage to awaken the sleeping Zelda".

Once again. Yes, your version is more obvious etc etc BUT it is possible that this has changed as new games have been released. For most people who do not know about the other games, the story works on its own. For people who know about all the games and every bit of extra info, it also works in a whole different way and encompasses loads of different ideas. I imagine that if there is a file that links the games, it would most likely have AoL Bs first and AoL last.

As I mentioned before, the plot of the Oracle games revolves around the resurrection of Ganon. At that time Ganon had only died at the end LttP and LoZ, so it has to go sometime after either of those.

Fair enough, I will have to look into these in a bit more detail. Could it be a new Link BTW?

Does KnS = LA mean AST's happening at the same time as LA?

That doesn't explain how the Triforce of Courage ended up in the Sacred Realm along with the other two pieces, and it doesn't explain why nobody decided to wake Zelda when the complete Triforce was in the castle.

Mohammed Ali

Going by the English version it is a new Link, because he and Zelda don't seem to have met before. I'm trying to find out if the Japanese version says differently.

[mohammedali]

Does KnS = LA mean AST's happening at the same time as LA?

Yes, because as far as we know, Zelda says the Triforce couldn't be used to defeat Ganon during AST due to it's owner being on another adventure. That is also the reason why Link isn't in the game (apparently). I don't know how credable this is, as the site does fanwank a bit, but I imagine the game had SOME explination for where Link was, and why the Triforce was never used, so I guess this is it until further notice.

That doesn't explain how the Triforce of Courage ended up in the Sacred Realm along with the other two pieces, and it doesn't explain why nobody decided to wake Zelda when the complete Triforce was in the castle.

Sleeping Zelda.
Whole Triforce is found at some point, and ordered to be placed in Temple of Light using Sages power
OR The Triforce returns to it's original spot where the Sages then build a temple.
Ganon touches the Triforce and it splits into 3. He then gets locked up.
In aLttP Ganon get's the Triforce of Wisdom from Zelda before Link saves her (i.e just before the game starts).
Link has the Triforce of Courage already (which refuses with the other pieces in the ending)
OR Ganon somehow found the Triforce of Courage via Aghanim (though I doubt it).
**Some of you might not agree with the above, but page 2 onwards in the 'A Link to Failure' thread I put forward the idea that Ganon didn't have the whole Triforce. Please read pages 2 and 3 of that thread first before commenting on this **
Link gets the whole Triforce and brings it back to Hyrule, though he never meets Impa (and never learns of Sleeping Zelda).
After Link, no one was perfect enough to control the Triforce so the King of Hyrule hides the ToC incase someone unpure were to try claim it after he dies. He writes a scroll about it.
Link finds a strange mark on his hand when nearing his 16th birthday

Going by the English version it is a new Link, because he and Zelda don't seem to have met before. I'm trying to find out if the Japanese version says differently.

Cool. I like that idea as it makes the most sence. But what about this reappearing MS? Is there anyway it could have come before aLttP. Also, what was all that hoo-haa about the Witches assistant?

[Chaltab]

I am starting to think that the Oracles may happen centuries before AlttP, and they might even happen in the FSA era.

First, it seems Zelda knows Link, at least in the US version. Zelda was the one who technically defeated Ganon in FSA, so it would make sense that she is the one who needs to be sacrificed to revive him... There is a Tingle but none of his cult in both games. It would also explain why the Triforce adresses him as a Hero and why he has the Crest from the start of Oracle.

Plus, they both have a horse.

[Crazy Penguin]

I'm pretty sure that Tingle's cult is in Four Swords Adventures, if only on the menu screen.

[mohammedali]

I'm pretty sure that Tingle's cult is in Four Swords Adventures, if only on the menu screen.

Doesn't the fact that there is a Tingle cult during TMC suggest that TMC actually DOES come after OoT (which is also implied from the fact that TMC has characters from both OoT and WW).

EDIT: Does anyone have any further questions in my timeline?

Mohammed Ali

[Crazy Penguin]

Just played Four Swords Adventures a few hours ago, and there are indeed some strangely coloured Tingle knockoffs that drop Tingle Tower onto the map screen.

[Chaltab]

TMC has both OoT and WW).

What does that mean? You definitley lost me with that quote.

[mohammedali]

What does that mean? You definitley lost me with that quote.

My bad. I meant characters from both OoT and WW suggesting it comes before WW and after OoT. The shield also suggests this.

Anymore timeline issues?

Mohammed Ali

[Chaltab]

I guess technically the games could come in either order, but I tend to think of TMC as Anicent Hyrule and the Origin of Vaati just as Ocarina was the Origin of Ganondorf.

[MikePetersSucks]

It would also explain why the Triforce adresses him as a Hero and why he has the Crest from the start of Oracle.  

Plus, they both have a horse.

Gotta nickpick, but, The Triforce addressed Link as a hero because it Chose him. If he owned the Triforce, he could just wish on it. And he got that Crest AFTER he got transported to the first country. And a horse has nothing to do with it. There's a whole RANCH in Hyrule filled with horses.

[Crazy Penguin]

And he got that Crest AFTER he got transported to the first country.

Nope. He already had it:



His left hand (for the directionally challenged that's the one to the right of the screen and "closest" to the screen).

[Chaltab]

I just realized that my logic was flawed to begin with, since it seems that Oracle Link and Zelda do infact not know each other. I Got confused on which was which. They obvoulsy know each other in FS and FSA and apperantly do in ALttP.

[Crazy Penguin]

Zelda introduced herself to Link in LttP, as I believe we went over in another thread.

[Chaltab]

Yeah, but I played the intro again, and made sure she didn't.

She says "My name is Zelda." when she is talking to Link's uncle. Or more accurately, she is probably sending out a general telepathic SOS sort of thing. Link and his Uncle are able to hear it because they are Hylian and descendants of the Knights. Average people can't hear it. Sasrhala probably can, but he's old and can't come.

When Link himself gets there, she says. "Thank you Link. I thought I felt you coming." That doesn't sound like "Nice to meet you." to me.

[Dai Grepher]

I decided it was time to formalise my own timeline, but I need some help as I haven't played all the Gameboy Zelda games yet. In particular, OoA, OoS, FS, FSA.

Dai Grepher: You will have to play them yourself in order to get a good idea of how the storyline transitions through those games. Some people think Ganon was being brought back from the dead, some think his power was being restored, and I've even heard one on Zelda.com where he is being released from the Sages Seal.
Also, the Triforce appears in the game, but it is sort of vague as to where it really is or how it exists there. The game also shows it in another part of the world when it first shows it in Hyrule Castle, which doesn't look like Hyrule Castle.
The only thing that I can say for certain is that it takes place in OoT's present timeline, since Komue and Kotake are still alive. Either that or they were brought back to life somehow.

So here is my timeline. The above games have been placed with the little bit of knowledge I have on them so far...

Sleeping Zelda | OoT ┬ MM | aLttP → KnS = OoX → LA | LoZ → AoL
··················· └ | TMC | FS | FSA | TWW → Reborn

Dai Grepher: Well now, the problem with putting the AoL backstory before OoT is the Triforce's location. The AoL backstory says that the King wrote the scroll and hid the Triforce of Courage in the Great Palace. If that comes before OoT, then the Triforce would have to make it's way back to the Temple of Light, then be placed back in the Great Palace before AoL the game begins.

It is possible for this to happen, as the same theory that has Ganon being released from the Sages' Seal also states that the Triforce was moved between the 200 or so years between AoL's backstory and OoT also states that the Triforce of Courage was recovered for a reason. This reason may have been the war that took place right before OoT.

There are 7 Links, 8 Zeldas and 1 Ganon so far.
A timeline split occurs during OoT creating 2 universes.
The scroll in AoL backstory was written by a King born after Sleeping Zelda happened (sometime after aLttP in fact).

Dai Grepher: Well no. The AoL backstory states that the King wrote the scroll, told his daughter the sleeping Zelda of it, then passed away.

[mohammedali]

Yeah, but I played the intro again, and made sure she didn't.

She says "My name is Zelda." when she is talking to Link's uncle. Or more accurately, she is probably sending out a general telepathic SOS sort of thing. Link and his Uncle are able to hear it because they are Hylian and descendants of the Knights. Average people can't hear it. Sasrhala probably can, but he's old and can't come.  

When Link himself gets there, she says. "Thank you Link. I thought I felt you coming." That doesn't sound like "Nice to meet you." to me.

I agree with the general transmission idea, as it makes the most sence. However, the booklet goes on to say "Who is Zelda? Where had your uncle gone and for what reason?" suggesting that you don't currently know who Zelda is. I believe that the Japanese version enforces this idea moreso. Hence, aLttP Link and Zelda don't seem to know each other in aLttP.

Dai Grepher: Well no. The AoL backstory states that the King wrote the scroll, told his daughter the sleeping Zelda of it, then passed away.

Actually it doesn't. The AoL Bs doesn't say that he told Sleeping Zelda about the scroll, just that he told her about the Triforce. Also, the booklet says that the scroll was given to the Impa family by the King of Hyrule, and doesn't say it was Sleeping Zeldas father specifically (i.e. it could be a later King). I believe that the story is indeed implying it is the same King, but in terms of a timeline, I recon Nintendo were slightly ambiguous for a reason (i.e. to allow continuity). The reason I still put Zelda first, is because in Japanese it says she is the first generation (this is before it talks about the law of everyone being called Zelda). I think this suggests that she was the first Princess of Hyrule. Perhaps the King was the first to find the Triforce and hence that is how he united the Hylians and became the King in the first place.

The Triforce is in Hyrule Castle, I thought that the intro alone made that perfectly clear, but it also says so in Oracle of Seasons' manual. This automatically prevents it from coming anywhere near Ocarina of Time. It seems to be quite clear that Ganon is being brought back from the dead, there's no mention of sages or seals anywhere in the game.

[Zythe]

OK. Can I straighten out which Links and Zeldas know eachother?

LoZ - Nope
AoL - Knows the Zelda from LoZ but not the sleeping one
LttP - Nope, but they did "know eachother" in a psychic way ... but they don't "know" eachother
LA - Sequel to LttP. Same Link. He also thinks that various women look kind of like Zelda (and Peach, oddly)
OoT - They meet in Hyrule Castle. Zelda foresaw his arrival (and name?) psychicly.
MM - He knows her from OoT.
OoX - She introduces herself. He knows of her, though, indicating he's an average Hylian kid from an average family unlike the Link in OoT.
TWW - Nope. Zelda didn't even know she was Zelda. Link met Tetra at Outset, and "Zelda" in Old Hyrule.
TT - Sequel to TWW
FS - They know eachother. "Friends", they may have met in a previous adventure, or their families just know eachother well because it's not long after New Hyrule was settled.
FSA - Yep. They know eachother. Might or might not be a sequel to FS, too many inconsistencies to know for sure.
EDIT: TMC - Link and Zelda are good friends. They do not have some history of adventures, they've just grown up in Utopia. Link's grandad does work for Zelda's father, which must be how they met.
z05 - Who knows?

That seems acurate enough to me. Though you missed TMC where Link and Zelda are good friends from the begining.

I agree with most of that, but of course some of it depends on your own timeline. I still think the first encounter with Zelda in AlttP smacks of familiarity.

Anyway. Zythe, what inconsistences are there between FS and FSA? Knowing nobody with AlttP GBA, I can't play the whole game.

[MikePetersSucks]

Um, about the Link's hand crest thing. The only time that crest appears is in AOL, and that's not the same Link from appearance alone. However, the Triforce isn't in it's complete state, but rests on three seperate pedestals in the LOZ/AOL fashion. It could be possible that OOX takes place after AOL, and the crest became a genetic trait. Or more likely, Link got summoned by the Triforce telepathically, and the crest appeared on his hand to both prove he was Chosen, and to prove to him it wasn't a dream.

I argued it in my timeline thread, so go there. I'm not going to throw this one OT.

[EvilKingVaati]

The timeline is simple, there is a 100 yr. difference between each legend and it has to make sense! For example:

the legend of Zelda: ocarina of time
the legend of Zelda: majora's mask
the legend of Zelda: the wind waker
the legend of Zelda: (working title)*
the legend of Zelda: a link to the past
the legend of Zelda: link's awakening
the legend of Zelda: oracle of seasons
the legend of Zelda: oracle of ages
the legend of Zelda: the minish cap
the legend of Zelda: four swords
the legend of Zelda: four swords adventures
the legend of Zelda: four swords (working title)*
the legend of Zelda
the legend of Zelda: the adventure of link
yr. 0-3050 HC (Hyrule Chronology)
*Due to lack of information, this legend will not be included in the storyline below
0 HC:
Three Goddesses descend from a distant nebula to create the mythical land of Hyrule. Din, the Goddess of Power, cultivated the land to create the earth with her strong flaming arms. Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom, gave the world the spirit of Law by pouring her wisdom in to it. Farore, the Goddess of Courage, created with her rich soul all the lifeforms which would uphold the law.

1 HC:
When the Goddesses leave the world of Hyrule after creating it, a sacred artifact known as the Triforce is left behind. This artifact contained the essences of the powers of the Goddesses.

1000 HC:
The land starts to take shape, and the various races have formed colonies, and the contstructions of various landmarks starts, including Hyrule Castle. The Hylians, who were said to be blessed with the powers of the Gods, established themselves as the most powerful of all the creatures who inhabited the land of Hyrule.

2000 HC:
Ganondorf Dragmire is born in to the Gerudo tribe. Legend has it that a male is born in to the races of the Gerudo only once every 100 years, and that this man is destined to be the leader of the thieves from the desert.

2020 HC (the legend of Zelda: ocarina of time):
Link I is born and is taken in under the wings of the Great Deku Tree at the wish of his dying mother. He is raised as a Kokiri, the children of the Deku Tree. At the same time, Princess Zelda I is born in to the Royal Family of Hyrule.

2025 HC :
Ganondorf and his band of thieves start searching for the entrance to the Sacred Realm, where the Triforce of the Legends is said to be located. He does this in hope that when he lays his hands on the artifact, he will be granted powers beyond mortal comprehension, which he will ultimately use to take over the entire land of Hyrule.


2030 HC :
Without any luck in his quest so far, Ganondorf gains audience with the King of Hyrule in hope to gain more information on how to open the gates to the Golden Land. The King has no suspicions about Ganondorf's true agenda, but Princess Zelda and Link alike share the same nightmares about this evil man. The Great Deku Tree knows that the fate of Hyrule lies within the hands of Link, and sends him out to retrieve the three magical stones which will open the gates to the Sacred Realm.


Without knowing, Ganondorf follows Link's quest, and when Link opens the gateway to the Sacred Realm, Ganondorf enters it and gets his hands on the Triforce. Link himself enters a seven year slumber orchestraed by an ancient sage, Rauru, because he knows that it is the only way Link can mature enough to possibly fight off Ganondorf and restore peace to Hyrule.









2037 HC :
Link awakens to find Hyrule overtaken by the evil clutches of Ganondorf, who now holds the Triforce of Power. What he does not know is that the two other pieces of the Triforce, Courage and Wisdom, have been passed on to Link and Princess Zelda respectively, as they are the two people in Hyrule who represent these qualities the most. Link sets out to awaken the the seven sages, because only with the help of their powers can he gain entrance to Ganon's Castle.


During the battle with Link, Ganondorf transforms himself in to a huge, evil pig-like creature. After a long hard battle Link defeats Ganon, and the seven sages with Princess Zelda as the leader manages to seal Ganon in the Sacred Realm. After the battles are over and peace has been restored to Hyrule, Princess Zelda sends Link back to his own time, so that he would not lose his childhood.


2031 HC (the legend of Zelda: majora's mask):
Done with the battles that made him a Hero in his homeland, Link sets out to find a friend whom he parted ways with when he fulfilled his destiny and became the Hero of Time. Be it be accident or destiny, Link was brought to the land of Termina, a parallel world to Hyrule. Here he met with many familiar faces, though they were not the same people who he had interacted with during his previous quest. In Termina, he quickly discovers that his help is desperately needed, as an evil known as Majora's Mask is bringing the moon down to crush Termina. With time running short, the Hero of Time must once again use his powers to manipulate time on order to awaken the four giants to stop the moon from falling down.


After a big showdown inside the moon, Link defeats Majora's Mask and saves Termina from destruction. No tale tells the story of what happened to Link I after this. One thing is for sure however, no new stories about the Hero of Time after this, and it can be assumed that he retreated to a life in peace somewhere, possibly even in Termina with his new-found friends, but it is most likely that we will never know for sure.



2075 HC (the legend of Zelda: the wind waker):
Somehow the seal of sages that held Ganon trapped within the Sacred Realm is broken. Nobody knows just how this happened, but as this great evil once more threatened the very existence of Hyrule, people started waiting for the return of the Hero of legends who had save the land from this evil before.

2077 HC :
When the people of Hyrule realized that the Hero would not return to save them from Ganon, they turned to the Gods and prayed for them to vanquish Ganon and restore peace to Hyrule. The Gods responded, possibly angered by the turmoil that was going on, by pouring endless amounts of water over Hyrule. Soon, the land of Hyrule was no more, and in its place came a sea, which quickly became known as the Great Sea, and Ganon was buried under this sea together with the land he wanted.

2100 HC :
Just as quickly as the land of Hyrule was drowned within the depths of the seemingly endless sea, the people forgot all about it, and adapted to their new lifestyles on the mountaintops of Hyrule, which became islands. Only on a certain island known as Outset they remembered the old Kingdom which was now far below the surface upon which they now lived, but it quickly became a mere legend to them as well.

2120 HC :
Link II was born on Outset Island around the same time as Princess Zelda II was born in to a family of pirates who roamed the Great Sea. It was said that Link II had no relations to the Hero of Time, but Princess Zelda II, who went by the name Tetra, and was captain of the Pirates, was part of the royal bloodline of Hyrule.


2136 HC :
Ganon, who had been sealed under the ocean together with the Kingdom of Hyrule which he desired to rule over for hundreds of years, becomes active again. It is not known how, but he manages to create a portal from Hyrule to the the Forsaken Fortress which is above the surface of the Great Sea, and he is working in secrecy to find the two remaining pieces of the Triforce, Courage and Wisdom, which he needs to revive the Kingdom of Hyrule for his own evil schemes.


In his quest for the Triforce of Wisdom, he kidnapps young, blonde girls with pointy ears (trademarks of the Princess of Hyrule), and when one of these girls turns out to be Link II's sister, Aryll, Link sets out to save her. During his quest to save his sister, he in colaboration with an ancient King of Hyrule, Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule, uncover Ganon's plans, and they make it their goal to stop Ganon. After a long quest, Link II and Princess Zelda II faces Ganon in battle and defeat him by working together. Peace is again restored to Hyrule and the Great Sea.



2320 HC (the legend of Zelda: a link to the past):
How the Great Sea was drained and the Land of Hyrule once more became full of flourishing life, and how Ganon once more got locked up in the Sacred Realm, is not know, because there is no tale that tells this story. The Hylian people are once more living in Hyrule, and it is then Link III and Princess Zelda III are born.


2336 HC :
A dark age seems to be approaching Hyrule as monsters are appearing left and right, and there seems to be no stopping them. Out of the blue, the Wizard Agahnim appears and puts and end to all of this, and as a sign of gratitude the King of Hyrule gives him the position as his 1st advisor. Agahnim has evil plans however, as it turns out he is a puppet of Ganon who is working from the Sacred Realm, which has now become the Dark World. Agahnim overthrows the King, and puts all of Hyrule's soldiers under his spell, while he works to sacrifice the seven maidens who are descendants of the sages who created the barrier which seals Ganon in the Dark World, as that is the only way the barrier can be broken.



Princess Zelda pleads for Link's help telepathically, and Link sets out on a quest to stop Ganon. After a long hard journey he is able to defeat Ganon and get the Triforce back. Link then uses the mystical powers of the Triforce to return everything in Hyrule back to normal. Then seals the Master Sword away for good.









2337 HC (the legend of Zelda: link's awakening): While he was sailing away from Hyrule, Link was shipwrecked and ended up on the mysterious island of Koholint, where he has to awaken the Windfish. Throughout this quest he meets up with many familiar friends and foes. The island disappears once he awakens the Windfish.

2420 HC (the legend of Zelda: oracle of seasons): Link IV and Zelda IV are born unto Hyrule.
(the legend of Zelda: oracle of ages)

2436 HC :Link is summoned to Holodrum through the power of the Triforce and saves Holodrum and Din, the Oracle of Seasons from General Onyx. The he sets off to Labrinya and saves Nayru, the Oracle of Ages from Vernan.




2460 HC (the legend of Zelda: the minish cap): It seems that Hyrule is back in peace. In the world of the piccori, evil seemed to brew, but one hero saved them all with and then the Piccori Blade. Then the Piccori Blade is sealed away in Hyrule where the hero went after the portal opened between worlds.

2520 HC : Link V and Zelda V are born unto Hyrule. A child named Vaati is born in the Minish world.


2536 HC : Vaati wins the annual tournament and then attacks Hyrule and breaks the Legendary Piccori Blade which releases all sorts of evil. Then turns Zelda to stone. Link then finds a mysterious cap that can turn him minish sized so he can communicate with the Piccori which could prove quite useful on his Journey. Then Link has the Legendary Piccori Blade reforged into the White Sword, then retrieves four elements of Hyrule and the White Sword became the Four Sword. Now Link could split into four counterparts. Link and his three counterparts soon defeated Vaati and saved Hyrule.
2620 HC (the legend of Zelda: four swords): Link VI and Zelda VI are born unto Hyrule.

2636 HC : Vaati: The Great Wind Mage attacks Hyrule and kidnapps Princess Zelda. Link is forced into action and pulls the Four Sword from its pedistal and split into four. Link and his three counterparts seal Vaati: the Great Wind Mage into the four sword where he came from.







2637 HC (the legend of Zelda: four swords adventures): Vaati is broken out of the seal and Link sets off on another adventure. He pulls the Four Sword from pedistal for a second time and him and his three counterparts go on the biggest adventure they'd ever been on and they soon found out it was not Vaati who had shrouded Hyrule in Darkness, it was Ganon who had a hold on Hyrule once again. Vaati was working for Ganon during this time, but soon enough Link and his counterparts defeated Vaati. Then went after Ganon. They soon defeated him as well.

2720 HC:
Princess Zelda VII is born in the North Castle in Hyrule.

2730 HC:
One of the great kings of Hyrule hides the Triforce of Courage, and his son, a Prince of Hyrule, desires it greatly, but does not know its whereabouts. When an evil Wizard tells him that his younger sister, Princess Zelda knows its location, but refuses to tell him, the Prince is so upset that in his rage he with the help of the Wizard puts his sister in to a deep slumber from which she may never awaken. In his grief after realizing what he has done, the Prince places Zelda in an alter in North Castle and puts down a law which says that every Princess born in Hyrule after this must be named Zelda.

3020 HC (The Legend Of ZELDA):
Ganon reappears in Hyrule and manages to steal the Triforce of Power. He takes over the underworld of Hyrule, and uses Death Mountain as his headquarters. As a result of Ganon's reappearance and increase of power, monsters start to appear in Hyrule.


Link VII and Princess Zelda VIII are born.

3032 HC :
Princess Zelda VIII inherits the Triforce of Wisdom, but fearing that Ganon will try to steal it she shatters it in to eight pieces which she hides throughout Hyrule. Then she sends Princess Impa out to look for a hero who can save Hyrule from the clutches of Ganon, after which Zelda is taken prisoner by Ganon himself. When Impa meets Link she is convinced that he is the hero that will save both Hyrule and Princess Zelda, and he sets out a quest which ends in success.


3034 HC (THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: The Adventure Of LINK):
Link discovers the mark of the Triforce on his hand, and Impa tells him that this means he is the one destined to awaken Zelda VII from her eternal slumber, and Link sets out on a big adventure. At the end of his quest he found he must fight his shadow which as, he later found out, Ganon that took form in Link's shadow. Link also found out that Ganon was trying to kill Link so he could use his blood as the final stage in a ritual to bring him back from the dead. Ganon failed and Link defeated his shadow and as well as Ganon. Link awakens Zelda and they all live happily ever after. This will name a new century known as the golden age.

3050 HC : Hyrule is at peace and all is well. Ganon is dead forever now and Link and his decendants can live in a peacful setting for all eternity. Until another evil arrises.

Dude...you already made a thread about this. Why did you feel compelled to revive a dead thread to repeat something you've already said?

[MikePetersSucks]

Nice theory, but how does Ganon go from dead in TWW to sealed in LTTP? Also, when does the Sleeping Zelda backstory take place? Your Oracles explaination is lacking, and what are your thoughts on the Light Force from TMC?

you already made a thread about this

so, i was just giving my example

Why did you feel compelled to revive a dead thread

i didnt revive ---- , i got it straight from the file in Microsoft Word and put it on here, and another thing, the thread is not dead...at least no yet

[MikePetersSucks]

He meant this thread. Not only was it inactive for several weeks, but the post you made was unrelated to the topic.

[EvilKingVaati]

when does the Sleeping Zelda backstory take place?
