Some Timeline Trouble

The category description mentions both The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. I've got a couple issues with that.

First, the reference to A Link to the Past. If you ask me, the sprites in the game clearly have pointed ears. It's possible that could have just been graphical limitations, but I believe it was done on purpose. In addition, in calling the people of A Link to the Past "Hyrulean" we are assuming that A Link to the Past must happen before the flood. We have no definitive timeline and I happen to agree with a timeline some would call a "late TWW theory". In other words, I don't agree with the idea that A Link to the Past happens after the flood. The placement of these games is still in debate (especially since the release of Twilight Princess) and I think the references should be removed.

Next, The Wind Waker. The description claims the Hylia went extinct. Now, maybe it's just me, but I seem to recall four girls in The Wind Waker who had pointy ears (two of them being Aryll and Tetra). In addition, Link has pointed ears and I'm willing to bet his grandmother did too. Extinct means there are no more and I think it's obvious that while they are greatly outnumbered, they do still exist after the flood. --Sheik-Yumil1988 10:27, 29 January 2007 (CST)
