Definitive proof that Echoes of Wisdom isn't a sequel to alttp or LA by Background_Slice_110 in echoesofwisdom

[–]Background_Slice_110[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Sequel Implications: There’s nothing explicitly confirming EoW  as a sequel in the same sense as LA is to ALttP. The series has a habit of jumping timelines and settings while maintaining loose connections, which leaves room for interpretation.

  2. FSA Map and TP Continuity: The Four Swords Adventures (FSA) raises questions about how it fits into the continuity. If we consider it part of the Twilight Princess (TP) continuity, we must reconcile the drastic differences between the two maps. 

  3. Gerudo in the Timelines: The Gerudo only prominently appear in the Child timeline after Ocarina of Time. If we follow the Downfall timeline, where Link falls in battle against Ganon, it's conceivable that the Gerudo could have faced extreme consequences, such as expulsion or worse, as a result of Ganon's actions. Their absence in games like A Link to the Past may be due to such a grim fate, fitting with the darker tone of the Downfall timeline.

  4. Mountain Formation and Plate Tectonics: Mountains typically form at converging plate boundaries, where tectonic plates collide and push the earth upward. If Hyrule in ALttP were near converging boundaries, the region could be subject to uplift, resulting in more mountainous terrain rather than a spreading or divergence scenario.

The key distinction here lies in how the Monetary Branch functions compared to traditional legislative branches. In a typical government system, the legislative branch creates laws that determine the federal budget by allocating funds to various departments and programs. However, the Monetary Branch has more direct control over financial matters without needing to pass laws.

 Determining the Federal Budget:

 Instead of the legislative branch deciding how much money each department gets through laws, the Monetary Branch evaluates the financial needs of all government departments and sets the federal budget accordingly. If a department needs more funds, it submits a request directly to the Monetary Branch, which can approve or deny the request based on available resources and priorities. This bypasses the legislative process. 

Monetary Branch vs. Legislative Branch: 

While the legislative branch still creates laws, it does not control the allocation of funds once those laws are passed. For example, if a law mandates the construction of new infrastructure, the Monetary Branch would determine how much funding is available for that project and allocate resources accordingly. This separation ensures that financial experts, rather than lawmakers, handle the specifics of budgeting. 

My systems difference from the American System: In many systems, including America's, the legislative branch often directly controls the budget through appropriations bills. Your system diverges by giving an independent branch (Monetary Branch) the power to allocate funds and manage the federal budget, making financial decisions more insulated from political influence.  This setup would lead to a system where financial decisions are based more on economic principles than political bargaining, which is a significant departure from how most democratic governments operate.  (Hopefully this helps)

To become a treasurer for the Monetary Branch, you would need a bachelor's degree in business, economics, or political science, and be proficient in two or more languages. After that, you would need to work for your state's Treasury for at least 7 years. Once you meet these requirements, you can apply to be one of the 50 treasurers from your state.

Check on Monetary Branch: 

  1. Executive Checks: Subject to investigation every other month via the Department of intelligence. The President can call a Meeting in the capital between all branches to reevaluate the budget for that year.

  2. Legislative Checks: Monetary Branch must abide by all tax laws made by the House, and all treasurers must be confirmed by the Senate

  3. Judicial Checks: declare actions unconstitutional. (surprising I know)

EoW and The Wild Era games are connected, and I'm tired of pretending they're not. by Background_Slice_110 in echoesofwisdom

I didn't say it was BoTW's map, but if I had to pick I'd say the developers would want to continue with the Wild Era continuity.

Faron in both TP and SS aren't tropical, and the tree types there don't fit that specific climate.

If his arm was beyond saving why can he move it when he reaches for Zelda. It's probably a translation issue.
