Talk:Zelda Timeline: Difference between revisions

== Triforce Heroes ==

How does that game fit into the timeline? --[[User:LTIan|LTIan]] ([[User talk:LTIan|talk]]) 15:00, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

== On the picture from Hyrule Historia, and splitting the articles. ==

::The problem currently however, is that the reader can't concretely see the timeline in terms of the games. And Tri Force Heroes shouldn't be italicized.[[User:McLennonSon|–– ♫ Ellie ♫]] 21:58, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

:::::That doesn't mean that ''Tri Force Heroes'' "shouldn't" be though. That split page is obviously very much a work-in-progress. The other sections haven't been italicized yet, as they should. It's not an issue that ''Tri Force Heroes'' happens to be italicized. {{:User:The Goron Moron/sig}} 02:15, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

I personally consider [[Hyrule Warriors]] and [[Link's Crossbow Training]] to be placed in a 4th timeline, where Ganon was sealed after he received the Triforce of Power in [[Ocarina of Time]], scattering his soul and body across Time, Space, and Dimensions.

== Breath Of The Wild ==

:In the memory link get from the Sacred Ground Ruins Zelda says "Whether skyward bound, adrift in time, or steeped in the glowing embers of twilight..." making a clear reference to {{SS}}, {{OoT}}, and {{TP}}. Given this reference, and the 10,000+ years between Ganon appearances, I think it's now safe to say this takes place at the end of the Child Timeline, after {{FSA}}. Should this be added to the timeline? Or should we wait for Nintendo to officially announce where it goes? [[User:D0xis|D0xis]] ([[User talk:D0xis|talk]]) 05:42, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

:::I disagree. All of the points you've listed are easily explainable in the 10,000+ year gap. Korok and Rito evolution, TONS of characters we've never seen or heard of... The decline of the kingdom is explained very early on in the game. (trying to avoid spoilers)

::::By now, it's pretty much been confirmed that Breath of the Wild takes place in the Child Timeline. It seems to be at the end of the timeline. [[User:Toolen22|Toolen22]] ([[User talk:Toolen22|talk]]) 07:24, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

:It's not confirmed at all, there's evidence for both child and downfall timelines. There's a plaque talking about Ruto becoming a Sage and helping Zelda and Link fight Ganon in OoT, which never happened in the child timeline.

:::“''The kingdom of Hyrule has a long and storied past, where the events of one era may just be ancient myths in another. Since olden times, the land has repeatedly undergone periods of prosperity and decline, so much so that it is unknown whether the legends passed down are actually true, or simply fairy tales.''” This section was taken from the book The '''Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Master Works'''. It was released only in Japan, and I don't know if the translation from Japanese is correct. But if it is, BotW will be placed at the very end of the timeline as a whole, and the branch (Child Hero, Adult Hero, Fallen Hero) will not matter.

::I suppose that's true. I was just suggesting the possibility is all. I had made the mistake of forgetting Encyclopedia states the Oracle Link as the same as ALTTP because when I was skimming through it I read a number of things that very heavily imply it's a random adventurer who's visting Hyrule castle. I think it's just a poor choice of wording that makes it confusing. I had just wondered if anyone else had noticed this before.
