Talk:Archive:Timeline Theories/Split Timeline Disciplines

The Minish can't come first. If it does comes first then it contradict Link's (OOT) origin. The new Deku tree states his mother and him travel to the Kokiri village to escape the war, which before the king could unify the country. --Legend 03:17, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

LexLionHart: Removed "weaknesses" from New Child story that were either redundant (the one related to the TWW ending) or unrelated to timeline order (the question of whether or not the IW occurs during OoT or immediately before ALttP).

6/23: Removed a rehash of statements from the "weaknesses" section similar to those previously removed. Post-TWW 2D games do not depend on there being a connection between OoT and aLttP in any way. Possible connections help timeline orders; possible disconnections (like in the OoT/ALttP case) simply do not help, rather than detracting.

Removed weakness "*There is no documented existence of a bloodline related to the hero in TWW (or OoT)." As the Hero's Shield (in-game description says it was owned by the hero) implies a familial connection. TheManInTheMoon 10:22, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I know this is from a while ago... But something does not cease to matter because you think you've found a contradiction. But it's also stated in TWW that Link has no connection to the hero of time. And the shield could have belonged to any hero (I think the US translation may have messed up the ambiguity there, but the Japanese one is clear) - it looks nothing like OoT Link's shield. And it's simply a fact that there is no bloodline of OoT Link on the Adult Timeline, due to the split. Unless he knocked up Zelda before leaving, it's just stupid.

This relates mainly to the ALttP connection... And like it or not, that DOES matter. The entire foundation of placing ALttP after TWW is the OoT-ALttP connection. Without it, there's almost nothing, so don't decide for yourself which points don't matter. Intentional disconnections are clearly relevant evidence, and you can't try to hide them. --Impossible 07:56, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
