Talk:Pedestal of the Master Sword

Pedestal of Time appearances
This article is next in my little project, and I noticed that the Pedestal of Time's appearances in A Link to the Past and The Wind Waker are under the Theories section. I was wondering if we could just move them out of the theories section since it's pretty much implied that the Pedestal of Time makes an appearance in those two games. What was the reason that they were put in the theories section anyway? The ALttP appearance has so much in common with the OoT one that it's kind of hard not to see that it's still the Pedestal of Time: same shape and everything. Thoughts?

 * I agree, they really don't need to be under a theory section since they have similar effects over time itself, and all hold the Master Sword. I say go for it. 17:44, 9 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I concur with Steve's assessment. My vote's full steam ahead. Link87 18:59, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Has the Pedestal of Time moved?
Discussing this with people I know, there seem to be two competing theories within the Child Timeline, concerning both and : Do we have any clear canonical clues as to which landmark it was that moved? So far, this article seems to assume that the Temple of Time didn't move. - Dermot Mac Flannchaidh (talk) 15:47, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
 * On theory is that the Pedestal of Time hasn't moved since SS undefined, and the Temple of Time built around it has never moved. This implies that Faron Province was the original location of Hyrule Castle (and its Castle Town), and this location was later abandoned with the castle and town rebuilt further west in Lanayru Province.  Note that this would not have happened during the events of, because Child Link prevented Ganondorf from destroying Hyrule Castle and Town in the first place.  The key consideration is whether the Pedestal of Time is allowed to be moved, or whether the Sealed Grounds it sits on are what lend the Pedestal its sanctity.
 * The other theory is that Hyrule Castle hasn't moved, and that it's the Pedestal of Time that has moved. It was originally in Lanayru Province in Castle Town, but after the events of, a new Pedestal and Temple of Time were built in a barely accessible corner of Faron Woods, probably so that it wouldn't be as easy for evil to reach it.  A variation on this is that 's Sacred Grove is where the Sealed Grounds are located, and that the Pedestal and Temple had been relocated next to Hyrule Castle in Lanayru, but then moved back after.
