Does anyone know, or has heard of whether or not the Twilight Princess Hyrule will have the same locations as OoT Hyrule? Like Lake Hylia or Death Mountain or the Lost Woods etc?

I would love to see those familiar locations revamped in TP's lush graphics, but would also love to see heaps of new environments to explore too.

Since Lake Hylia, Death Mountain and the Lost Woods are all standard Hyrule locations that have been in quite a few Hyrule based games, I'd say that yes, they probably will.

EDIT: Off topic, but I just noticed that we both joined in September 2004 and we're both in Australia. That's kind of funny

Doesn't this belong in Twilight Storyline?

Anyways, I have a sneaky suspicion Hyrule will resemble AoL Hyrule. Call me crazy.

[coinilius]

You're crazy!

But possibly onto something... or maybe not, but it would certainly be fun. I'd love to see the River Monster in 3d.

Wasn't that a Zora? :?

[Showsni]

It was. A.k.a. Zola, due to translation issues. And I'm moving this...

[dentaiko]

What the...? This has nothing to do with the TP storyline or the imaginary timeline that people try to create between zelda games.

Why move it?

[coinilius]

The River Monster was the big bug thing that blocked your way at one point in AoL overworld and you had to play the Whistle to destroy it. It wasn't a Zora. Also, I think it might have been called the River Demon, technically...

Because if someone answers, and knows, it will contain spoilers, and TP spoilers belong in this forum.

What the hell? Geography is just as much a part of storyline discussion as the characters and the overall timeline. Case in point: we have one gepgraphy thread in the regular Storyline forum going on right now and we've been talking about Hyrule's evolving geogphy in that forum since... forever!

And Twilight Princess Storyline, because, yeah...

[dentaiko]

Ah, spoilers... of course! I should've marked it.

I guess knowing about certain locations may spoil playing TP. I can see that.

Now, this may ruffle a few feathers, but, what the hell is wrong with you people? THERE IS NO OVERALL TIMELINE BETWEEN ZELDA GAMES. If there actually were, do you really think Nintendo would have the story be so chaotically elaborate and full of holes? C'mon, Nintendo is better than that.

Some of the adventures happen after events in others, some characters are in other games and some environments are in other games too.

It doesn't mean they're ALL connected. Sheesh. I can't believe people are STILL so naive...<_<

Why do you go off topic in your own topic? Bah... And read up on what Aonuma says before you make an idiot of yourself by denying the blatantly obvious existence of the timeline. You even wondered if TP would have the same landmarks as OoT. Why would it if they didn't connect?

Good point.

Bah... And read up on what Aonuma says before you make an idiot of yourself by denying the blatantly obvious existence of the timeline.

What I meant is there's no absolute timeline. Like I said, some are set after others, some included characters from others, but you can't seriously be telling me that they're ALL connected? Show me the evidence and I will eat my words. And my shorts. I have no problem being proved wrong.

You even wondered if TP would have the same landmarks as OoT. Why would it if they didn't connect?

Okay, I'm not even going to comment on that. Pay attention eh?<_<

Check this out.

And I quote:
Q: The beginning of the game talks about Link getting the green clothes and the passing down of the history, the hero dressed in green, etc. How many different Links are there? This doesn't seem like that was in Ocarina of Time, for example.
Aonuma-san: In our opinions, with the Legend of Zelda, every game has a new Link. A new hero named Link always rises to fight evil.


So, the games may very well have a chronalogical order, but what does it matter if it's a new Link every time? It's not like the same kid is living all these events. And why do people think that it's the same Link or that there's a split timeline when Aonuma has said himself it's a different Link everytime?


Anyway, I'm digressing, as you said I'm off topic.

[Showsni]

No one thinks it's the same Link any more. Unless someone like Mike Peters still does...

[dentaiko]

Oh okay.

That's good.

[Showsni]

I did have a single Link theory once. It involves things like MM, LA, etc. messing with time and thus when he leaves Termina/Koholint he's centuries into the future.

[SOAP]

Whoa dentaiko! Firstly no one brought up split timelines and multiple Links into this discusions but you so I don't know who you're arguing with. I thought we were talking about geography.
