About Me/Brief History
Hey, wassup? I'm Alter, and I'm a pretty big Zelda fan. Of course, if I wasn't, I wouldn't be here, now would I? A little about me- I mostly chill out at Ordon Village, where I'm one of the current Webmasters. I used to work at Zelda Dungeon, but I stepped down from that position for several reasons. Before that, I staffed at Zelda in my Pocket, but you can read all about that scenario on its page. I own every Zelda game in existence, including the numerous spin-offs. I've also got a massive amount of Zelda merch on top of that. Some people collect baseball cards or comic books, but I collect Zelda. Anything and everything Zelda. Outside of that hobbie (or obsession, if you'd rather call it that), I enjoy playing and listening to music. I actually play the Ocarina (no joke!). I can play the 6, 8, 9, and 12-hole Ocarinas quite well. Recently, I purchased the 12-hole Ocarina of Time replica from Songbird Ocarinas.

Obviously, I enjoy making frequent edits to Zelda Wiki, including building pages from the ground up, and creating tons of userboxes. If you want one for yourself, just ask me on my Talk Page! I'm also willing to help you out with making a signature, if you ask.

If you want to get in touch with me outside of the wiki, contact me at Ordon Village, Zelda Dungeon and Zelda Universe. Feel free to send me a private message on either site, although I'm not around the latter two much anymore.

Tingle
 It may look to you like I'm a huge fan of Tingle. In truth, I just enjoy his unique character. It really gets on my nerves when people curse any game that has Tingle in it, claiming that he's a homosexual, retarded, little-kiddish character. If you feel this way, play Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. Sure it may cost 40 bucks on eBay, but it's worth it. I never really cared for Tingle myself until I played that game, which is now one of my favorites. Don't flip out about it! Just have a bit of fun.

Alter's Trident Timeline Theory
Summery

Trident Theory Timeline:
 * MM - TP

TMC - FS - OoT
 * TRR/TWW/PH - FSA - ALttP/LA/OoA/OoS - LoZ/AoL/Valiant Comic Series
 * TRR/TWW/PH - FSA - ALttP/LA/OoA/OoS - LoZ/AoL/Valiant Comic Series

Notes


 * The Trident Theory is something I, Alter, came up with myself. I'm unsure as to whether or not someone else has had any similar ideas. The basic theory is that Ganon was once a Human/Gerudo. Once he stole the Trident (which transformed him into a "demon"), he was unable to ever return to his human form, and usually wields the Trident as a weapon from then on.


 * You may call this an adult/child timeline if you wish, however, I don't believe that there is a reason to have call it "adult/child timeline". Quite simply put, Ganon escaped from the Sacred Realm. It says in WW that there was no hero to stop him. This could mean anything from a Link not having been born, to him failing in his task. There was never an intent for the developers to state that "the end of OoT never happened" when the game was created. They may resort to that as they have boxed themselves in, but it doesn't mean that it was planned or desired. So in the end, this theory works both ways- mine and the AT/CT theorists.


 * Vaati was sealed after the events in TMC, and was released during in FS. He was sealed again, only to be released again in FSA, where Ganon obtains his Trident.


 * When Ganon *somehow* broke out of his seal, Hyrule was flooded, explaining why there are islands in TRR, TWW, and PH. The land then drains, likely in ST. After Ganon is defeated in ALttP, Link travels across the now much smaller sea to the lands of Koholint, Holodrum, and Labrynna.


 * The game manual for LA states that Link went on a search for enlightenment after defeating Ganon. This makes sense, as ALttP had been its predecessor, and the developers wanted to continue the story. After leaving Koholint Island, and returning to Hyrule, he is warped to the lands of Labrynna or Holodrum, and then sailed to the other land after completing his journey.
 * The baby Deku Tree that Tingle helped in TRR grows up. The forest then becomes known as Forest Haven. Link later ventures there during the events of TWW.

Trident Theory Timeline 2:
 * MM - TP - FSA - ALttP/LA/OoA/OoS - LoZ/AoL/Valiant Comic Series

TMC - FS - OoT
 * TRR/TWW/PH - FSA - ALttP/LA/OoA/OoS - LoZ/AoL/Valiant Comic Series
 * TRR/TWW/PH - FSA - ALttP/LA/OoA/OoS - LoZ/AoL/Valiant Comic Series

Notes

This is also a possibility, where they split, and then later re-merge at the point of FSA. This idea fits well, but there really is no reason for it.
