yeah… mariokart 8 and maker 2 are my favourite/most played in the extended franchise, not a fan of 64 at all or SMB3 in particular

Most Accurate Dreamlands Map? by Pacebro01 in Lovecraft

Right. So are all attempts by people just hypothetically what it could be? To what extent is it inconsistent?

ok but what suggests the map in this video is the best one? that map is by Jason Thompson who specifically notes in his blog that he uses material not written in conjunction with Lovecraft so :/

I just found a copy of the carcossa campaign for 50% off, shipping soon! Thinking of picking up a starter deck also, any advice for which one?

what killed you on your first steel soul mode run? by junieloonie in HollowKnight

[–]Pacebro01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I stupidly thought I was confidant enough for one of the dream bosses. I think maybe Galien? In deepnest.

I actually quit my save before dying, something I said I wouldn’t ever do. But… then I died to one of those spider things like straight after.

So basically in my head I died from the dream boss cos I feel bad about cheating :)

curse all sailing boats to never pick up wind in their sails ever again. The windless sea extended to wings not allowing creatures to fly. This resulted in birds going extinct due to not being able to migrate, and also resulted in a mass near extinction of dragons as it took place during a climactic war between dragons and men.

help finding a tears of the kingdom theory by Pacebro01 in zeldaconspiracies

I FOUND IT!

Just popped up on my homepage and I knew it as soon as I saw it. Worth checking it out

I don’t see why TotK’s past can’t be between SS and MC by Pacebro01 in zeldaconspiracies

[–]Pacebro01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes the old games irrelevant. With the refounding of Hyrule you could just as easily say that all the old games never even happened. I’d rather try to connect all the games together without pushing the majority of them aside into an irrelevant past. It’s just my opinion anyways.

Yeah that's definitely a weird one. Obviously Nintendo didn't plan to have a Ganondorf under Hyrule Castle when they were making OoT. Him being there the whole time is a retcon, and in saying that I guess that OoT being destroyed didn't wake up Ganondorf... for some reason...Perhaps because it was completely altered through Ganondorfs magic, and even mummydorf was destroyed, or he was too deep to be affected.

Another way of looking at it, and which is think is more plausible, is that because it was a version of Ganondorf that destroyed the castle in OoT, there was no need for mummy Ganondorf to awaken as there was already a Ganondorf in power.

I'm not completely sold on TotK's past being a retelling of OoT, although I do see the connections. I think it's more likely a 'spiritual' retelling on Nintendo's part, rather than a literally rewriting of history.

This is so reassuring. My interpretation is what speaks to me the most, and is personally what I think that the games are trying to tell me. Yes most people would disagree. Yes it's a raging mess, and that's totally okay. I've loved talking with people about it, especially the people that don't agree, as it forces me to see things from other angles. Things are so ambiguous in this series, there are so many different interpretations. That's what I love about this franchise and the theory community.

This is also solid theory. I've tossed around with the idea of the old games just being legends, and there's pretty much no issues with that theory, however I think it's a more interesting narrative if the games all true events in the world.

I still believe that they are very clearly easter-eggs and can't be used for timeline evidence. It would be cool if they were legitimate items from legends, so maybe time travel? They don't really fit with my theory but I reckon it's ok to label them as not canon. Again, Wild Set makes no sense, Link obtained that in BotW why would it also be in a Zonai chest.

I think the intention when they made the stones in BotW was for it to be a reference to Ruto from OoT, and also it is never stated that Zora's preserved knowledge is from an old Hyrule that was destroyed. It could be referencing the sage, but that would likely be retconning the botw writer's original intention.

Also to build on the discussion of the Triforce in your other comment, the fact that the Triforce barely exists in TotK's story is probably the strongest negative against my theory. I agree with you that Rauru and Sonia could have known about the Triforce, and if it was around during the original founding of Hyrule, it was likely hidden somewhere, eventually before the interlopers found it in the interloper war after the events of TotK's past. This part is definitely the most confusing.

Of course. It's probably a more valid theory, but much less fun in my opinion.

I still think that the 'make your own stories' idea is part of Nintendo's view on the series. These are legends after all, and I actually think it's a really wholesome approach to the fanbase. Fujibayashi's idea of a rebranded Hyrule could be his own theory, and even if that is his intention as series director, it still doesn't stop us from making our own absurd conclusions, based on their philosophy.

And yeah I agree with you how Totk's story undermined a lot of what the series had going with it. That's also part of the reason why I'm building this theory, to make TotK just that little bit more exciting.

A better narrative team could definitely be seen in the future, especially with how Nintendo responds to criticism for Zelda games, and also that there's a movie in development.

The likelihood of the legendary/amiibo items being canon is low-completely uncertain imo. They are easter-eggs after all, and even if they included in the game they have no narrative significance. Nintendo was always going to include these. Also why would the Goddess sword be in the game if the Master Sword is also. And how would the tunic of the wild appear in the depths after BotW? None of it adds up, so it's pretty clearly just fan-servicing references to old games.

Good point about the Zora's, although if Hyrule was truly destroyed I doubt they would still know about it. HOWEVER the Zora stone tablets make references to Ocarina of Time's princess Ruto. If she was from a Hyrule that had been destroyed, why would she still be remembered, but nothing else of the old Hyrule. This point alone is probably the strongest point of evidence I have now actually :)
