Talk:Oracle Confusion

How can LA be a sequal to LttP when the Hyrule in LttP is entirely landlocked.
 * By that reasoning, AoL could not possibly be a sequl to LoZ (northern Hyrule is not reachable in LoZ, nor shown on its map), MM could not possibly be a sequel to OOT (Termina is again, unreachable and invisble in Ocarina), and FS and FSA would be totally irreconciable (Their maps have nothing in common). If Link continues to walk to in any direction, he will eventually leave the AlttP map. -PIE

i was not talking about how you cant SEE the shore i was talking about how at the edges of the map all you can see is sher cliffs. and didnt the people see Link off, i MIGHT belive that link climbed that impassible terrain while carrying a boat no less, but his entourage i think not. furthermore i have never believed that AoL came directly after TLoZ, and as for MM in the begining we see him in the lost woods he follows the skull kid and then falls in to a hole in the tree at wich point we see some sort of portal or time warp thingy and the ending is also unclear how, if at all, he gets back to hyrule so MM could have been a dream for all we know. --Spirit of the Legend 21:24, 12 January 2007 (CST)
 * Arguments like "MM might be a dream because we never have proof that it is not a dream" and "There is no way out of AlttP's map because we never see a way out of AlttP's map" are not acceptable in timeline theory. If canon said "MM is a dream" or "AlttP's Hyrule is contained in a box canyon" then you would have an argument, but lack of canon can never be a justification. It is against the Scientific method.
 * That was my point in alluding to AoL and MM. If you looked at LoZ's map, you would say "There is no way to escape this land that I can see" but AoL shows that there is, indeed, a way into the northern Hyrule.-PIE

WW --> OoX?
''OoX may even occur shortly after TWW, as it too ends with a dead Antagonist and a whole Triforce. This idea, however, has little support amongst theorists as it requires speculation on the Triforce's resting place post TWW. ''

The Triforce split after the King of Hyrule made his wish, right? That means the Triforce is no longer whole, so this theory is false.

Nope, the Triforce is not seen making any sort of transition post wish. It is present and then it is not. We do not now its condition or location post tWW, which is why the OoX placement is possible (though no likely).-PIE

Does The Triforce always break apart after being wished upon? because it broke when Ganon made his wish. Or does it only break when an evil wish is made? but then what is evil anyway?--Spirit of the Legend 23:24, 23 March 2007 (CDT)


 * I thought that part of the Kings wish for hope... resulted in the dispapearance of the triforce. I wish for hope for the future. Not much hope for the future if there is an all powerful artefact that can grant people's wishes that everyone is fighting over. And since the triforce went away, Ganondorf had no source to draw his invinciblity from and was killed by Link without silver arrows. This of course is my humble opinion--Magnus orion 18:00, 29 March 2008 (EDT)

Linked Games
In deciding the order of the Oracle games in relation to each other, it is useful to use logic. All linked events make much more sense when OoA is first. When OoS is first, characters travel back in time without portals or help from Nayru. When OoA is first then the only time travel is Queen Ambi. And Ambi clearly states that Nayru sent her through time. The Skull Pirates' getting stuck in Holodrum after first being traped in the whirlpools fo four hundred years makes much more sense than the other way around.-Mjr162006 4-16-08
 * Didn't know about the sig and timestamp then. This one above is me.--Matt 14:04, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't jump all over me and say I'm wrong, but the manga order goes oracle of Seasons, then Ages.

YES, we all know the manga is not exactly canon. But that's the way the order is. Yuvorias, 14:14, 23 April 2008 (EST)

It does not make sense to have OoS first, for the reason I stated above. Also, I have only heard of two things that place OoS first. The manga, which is not canon. And the OoS manual. However the manual does not give any information as to the order. See []. And the OoA manual (see []) also does not say anything. Therefore you cannot say the OoS is first without looking at in-game evidence. The highest form of canon is the material in the games themselves. In deciding the placement of any Zelda game, in-game evidence comes first, not last. All the in-game evidence in the Oracles points to OoA being first.--Matt 22:20, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
