Talk:Imprisoning War

Just wondering, what's the reason that the references I'd added were removed? —Adam (talk) 16:38, 13 February 2008 (EST)

Usefulness
Does anyone else think it's odd that nearly this entire article is devoted to the plot of Ocarina of Time? Wouldn't it be prudent to just refer to Ocarina of Time instead? This article is written in-universe, does not cite sources, we don't even know if the Imprisoning War mentioned in the ALttP manual is the same as the fight against Ganon in OoT, and seems altogether wasteful. I propose an overhaul, one stating the facts about the War how it pertains to gamers, and the games. Saibh 16:20, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
 * I agree completely, especially since I am one of the ones who disagree that Ocarina of Time is the imprisoning war, since I am one of the people who think that ALttP is on the child story line and therefore Ocarina of Time has no imprisoning war. I believe that the only other possible choice fitting the description is FSA--Magnus orion 21:40, 29 March 2008 (EDT)

but that can't be right....you hear about the imprisoning war in ALttP....its manual talks about it...and FSA doesnt match the bill either since Ganon already transformed and the imprisoning war states ganon was human then touched the triforce.....although one thing bugs me about the manuals description it never mentions the master sword being used against ganon it just says they tried to find a hero to give it to....also it says the knights held off ganon until the sages could imprison him.....so now I finally see where you think FSA fits in because of the knights but maybe if ALttP is i nthe child timeline...what game had the imprisoning war....Twilight Princess?


 * Well, In my timeline (see my user page), FSA is in the child timeline, since the foursword cant be found and vatti can't escape after the flood. Also, I can't tell if you're arguing or not, but if you are, I would like to ask you how. You appear to making the claim that FSA isn't the game and then stating that OoT is, even though it also has problems fitting the bill, or that another game (with even less relation to the imprisinoning war) might be it. Btw I never played FSA. I'm just trying to make everything fit. The biggest problem is taking Ganondorf and putting him in the dark world, and then reconciling with TWW.--Magnus orion 22:15, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks saibh but it kinda has to be since its part of the storyline and the storyline spans across more than one century --Remo 14:01, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

so whats the deal here....this page is about the sealing war...not theories on the sealing war.....unless I hear someone responding to this with an objection I will be very tempted to erase almost all the content on this page...im sorry but I already talked to the one who wrote it and they never answered back...so I just think its time to fix it. and if I dont here..anything..im just gonna change it.....then when people complain they can change it back I don't care --Remo 09:02, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * This article is a good theory. But it is just that, a theory. It should be stated that the content on the article is only one possible explanation of many.--Matt 11:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, this guy posted another extensive (and quite inaccurate) theory here, which provoked a monumental row here. In an attempt to avoid a recurrence here, I avoided objecting in principle, and instead suggested citation of sources. This was rejected/ignored. Do what you will to improve it however you see fit! --Adamcox82 17:39, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Following the recent edits, I'm still concerned that the article is quite theory-heavy. Although the link to the ZeldaLegends translation is great, it seems to me that what the article is in desperate need of is some serious citation of sources, particularly for the first (descriptive) section. See Hyrulean Civil War for an example. --Adamcox82 12:49, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Realization
Obviously I wasn't clear before but what I realize now is that the only way for ALttP's manual about the seal war to work is if Ganon has the triforce of Power. But if ALttP is supposed to be in the child timeline then he could only have gotten the triforce of power in Twilight Princess and he didn't do it the same way the manual tells us. the manual tells us about how he did it in the Adult timeline while Link slept ( went to the sacred realm and touched it before returning to wreak havoc on Hyrule) but it could just be one of those unchangeable things cuz ALttP is one of the older games so they had no idea the series would have taken this turn...if I am right and the seal war was then supposed to happen in Twilight Princess then I'm sure the seal war story would sound different although again it would be completely different seeing how the sages didn't seal Ganon it was Link using the sages sword...and also did Ganon die in the end (still haven't beaten it sorry) or was he sent to the dark realm? so then ALttP would fit better, if not then the WW would have to somehow be changed to the child timeline and Twilight Princess to the Adult one...which again makes no sense but you know where I'm going with this I hope. --Remo 15:12, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
