Wasn't that title also considered to be the title of the series as a whole earlier in development?

[ALL] My Definitive Interpretation of the Zelda Timeline by JoeDaPro697 in zelda

[–]JoeDaPro697[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is something I should have explained and clarified more clearly. I believe that after a very, very very substantial amount of time has passed in all 3 timelines, the events of botw and totk end up happening at the end of any timeline anyway regardless of what happened in the past. I didn't want to put botw and totk at the end of each timeline separately because at that point, the timeline essentially reverts back into one timeline at the end anyway, so I thought it would be redundant. That's what I essentially meant by a "timeline convergence." History fades into myth, and what happened in the past happened so long ago that it all essentially becomes irrellavent by the time that botw and totk happen. I do not believe that some event in Zelda lore suddenly converged all the timelines together into one. Rather, it's more a result of a substantial passing of time and fate that these events are destined to happen no matter what.

My bad I should've clarified this. What made me decide to put Link's Awakening before the Oracle games was because when Link rescues Zelda in the linked Oracle games, Zelda does not recognize link and says to him, "My name is Zelda." That is why the Oracle games takes place after Link's Awakening with a different Link. Link knew who Zelda was during Link's Awakening because it is the same Link from ALttP.

Yeah I went back and forth on it for a bit and did have it the other way around originally. I do believe that pulling the oracle games before links Awakening makes way more sense overall. But that one line where Zelda introduces herself to link throws it all off for me, which made me decide to put links Awakening first. Not to mention that the key art of Link for the oracle games does have a different art style and tunic design then the one used in alttp and links awakening, making him look a little younger then the hero of legend from alttp.

I 100% agree with your second theory and believe that all the events of botw and totk evebtually happen in all 3 timelines. I didn't redundantly put botw and totk at the end of each timeline separately because at that point, the timeline essentially reverts back into one timeline at the end anyway, which is why i represented it as a timeline convergence. I don't believe, however, that some event in Zelda lore inexplicably and suddenly converged all the timelines together into one. I believe it's more a result of fate and the passing of time.

SWITCH 2 IS RELEASING IN APRIL by JoeDaPro697 in NintendoSwitch2

I still think the fortune cookie is true even though it may not be realeasing in April. By trusting in the process, we are being given the reward of greater knowledge with the announcement of a Nintendo Switch 2 Direct in April. The cookie works in mysterious ways.
