Allright now... I've played the TWW, and they said after Ganon returned the hero did not come to kill him. So when Hyrule got flooded by the gods, they said," Non remain who knows." Now heres the question. I want to ask everyones opinion of locations in comparison. In TWW. which island do you think is comparison or remains of the lost Hyrule. Lake Hylia island. Desert area. Death mountain. Are their any remains...?

[Hero of Slime]

The islands from TWW were all mountains before the flood. The only one we know is that Spectacle Rock became Spectacle island

[world_trecker]

Consider Death mountain. Think of fire island. And how about Gerudo valley. That temple next to outset Island, could be a tip from the desert area. I mean, Gerudo valley was always located southeast of the map. Well so is the earth temple.

[Mystic Kitsune]

Hm...well there are fan references though.

Like Dragoonroost would be death mountain because of both the dragon and cloud formation.

The Forest Haven would be the Lost Woods, because the Deku Tree was still there.

Zora's domain would be Greatfish Isle, thats where Jabun (Jabu-Jabu) was...

Hyrule is directly under tower of the gods...

Then again these are fan references...

[Hero of Slime]

What says that the Great Sea area from TWW is directly over the area that was shown in OoT?

[GJ Skywalker]

Dragon Roost is Death Mountain, and Forest Haven is Kokiri Forest. (I think.....) Greatfish Isle may be Zora Domain also, put me right if I'm wrong.

Mystic got there first....

[Mystic Kitsune]

Nothing, i said they were fan references, not exact data.

[Hero of Slime]

The Drogon Roost thing is possible but the other palces were not at very high elevation. How could they become Islands?

[world_trecker]

Hmm... TWW does have a huge comparison tho the land of OoT. I'm just thinking if the earth temple has a comparison to the gerudo area, since it's located south east. In the OoT gerudo valley was located southeast as well.

[Octorok]

I agree with the Zol, because for one thing, the islands are the tips of the old mountains, and you cannot see the bases of those mountains in old Hyrule. Even if it was right above that area, I don't personally believe that Zora's Domain would be an island, as it was underwater, not on top of a mountain

[world_trecker]

But weres the gerudo area there must be an island revealing the sector.

[Hero of Slime]

In the OoT gerudo valley was located southeast as well.

No, in OoT Gerudo Valley is west of Hyrule.

[world_trecker]

But weres the gerudo area there must be an island revealing the sector.

Think of the Earth Temple, and it's characteristics.

[Mystic Kitsune]

over time...or the gods raised it...but as i said...THEY are just references for people who played ocarina of time...just like windfall's song has some of the parts from Kakariko village...

[Octorok]

There have been dungeons with those characteristics in [img]http://forums.legendsalliance.com/public/ALOT.png[/img] of games. Plus, like I said there weren't that many mountains in OoT to become islands. Once you can come up with a reasonable argument for that, I'll consider your theory.

[GJ Skywalker]

Well, maybe Twilight Princess could answer our questions since it is set decades after the events chronicled in OoT.

[Fyxe]

The game itself pretty much says that Forest Haven is not just an island, but a giant tree that's grown from the sea. So Forest Haven is basically an overgrown Deku Tree, and I guess the Forbidden Woods would be an overgrown Lost Woods.

Spectacle Island is a clear reference.

The Earth Temple and Wind Temple were in mountains, although we never saw them during OoT.

Greatfish Isle doesn't necessarily mean anything. Yes, Jabun lived there, but Jabun is NOT Jabu-Jabu. There were some large peaks at Zora's Domain, but Zora's Domain was rather close to Death Mountain/Dragon Roost Island, which is in a totally different region to Greatfish Isle.

Other than that, yes, we know that the Tower of the Gods was placed directly above Hyrule Castle, which is appropriate. We can also assume that the Forsaken Fortress is above Ganon's Tower, maybe.

Anyway, it seems to follow OoT's basic layout, actually...

If we start from Hyrule Castle/Tower of the Gods... Northeast, Death Mountain/Dragonroost Island, southeast, Kokiri Forest/Forest Haven.

[Octorok]

Well, TP isn't out yet, so no such luck.

[world_trecker]

I'm with that. Actually where does TP come in the zelda timeline?

[Hero of Slime]

How can Tower of the Gods be directly above Hyrule Castle? You can't see the bottom of the Tower when you are at Hyrule Castle.

[Fyxe]

Duh, you can't see anything through the water from below, it doesn't mean nothing's there. It's called magic.

You might as well ask why is there an entire kingdom underneath an ocean. There's no point fitting logic into a fantasy setting.

[Octorok]

Well, in this case, there have to be mountains where the islands are located, because it's mentioned in the game that they are.

[Mystic Kitsune]

To answer World_trecker's question, TP comes after OoT and before windwaker...but some people disagree...

Why do people keep thinking its a theory? All im saying is (outside the storyline) is that the islands are there just for the fun of comparing zelda games together. They have NOTHING to do with the story...

[GJ Skywalker]

Didn't Eiji Aonuma announce TP' timeline placement at this years E3?

[Mystic Kitsune]

Yeah he said it was in between OoT and WW...which some people still dont believe <_<

[Octorok]

If you want to talk about TP, go to the sub-forum where it is designated.

[Fyxe]

Except they kind of do, Kitsune, because the entire story was all about Hyrule being flooded and it's actually stated in-game that the mountains became islands...

So, before the sealing of the kingdom,
the gods chose those who would build a
new country and commanded them to take
refuge on the mountaintops.

But...each temple should have another
entrance high upon Hyrule's mountaintops,
which are now islands above the sea.

And, here's one of the quotes about the Forest Haven...

It may appear as though this is but a great
tree rising far above the ocean's surface...

However, just because there are references doesn't mean everything has to be 100% accurate. For example, we don't see the mountains where the Earth and Wind Temples reside during OoT, but according to TWW they exist, so...

[Mystic Kitsune]

Alright, alright. Lets just get back on track, okay?

[GJ Skywalker]

My bad, one thing that has bugged me is where Outset on Hyrule and is (or was) Fire Mountain (one square south of Dragoon Roost) part of Death Mountain?

[Hero of Slime]

Outset was probably a pair of moutains that were of the map in OoT.
