(→‎Canon: Aonuma's manner of speech is usually very indirect and deliberately careful (look at the recent MM3D interview, for example), so I doubt he would say it outright.)

:If it doesn't fit into any given point the timeline and exists in an alternate universe (to reiterate: a "what if" story), I say that's a dead-on sign that it's non-canon. {{:User:Pakkun/sig}} 17:30, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

::Lets wait until the game it out. It's not long now. Once it's out we can decide if the "alternate dimension" thing actually COULD work (thus making it a side-story that is potentially canon but not part of the timeline) or if it's just a buncha "what-if", in which case it's non-canon. It seems silly to argue this right now because what Aonuma said can be taken both ways depending on which part of the interview you read. Plus it was translated and sometimes translations are questionable. I suspect it's not canon but it seems silly to speak in absolutes before the game is even finished. The fact that he speaks of the characters being "drawn together" and mentions The Avengers makes it potentially a little more than a random what-if. I don't want to really relegate this game to Soul Calibur status off the bat because it is a genuine Zelda game, even if it is a spin-off. You could, at this point, argue that all he meant it is that it is not canon to the timeline, like Link's Crossbow Training, but is still ambiguous as part of the series. Basically this game seems like a unique case at the moment. {{:User:Fizzle/sig}} 21:45, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
