The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: Difference between revisions

According to {{HH}}, {{LA|-}} is the sequel to {{ALttP}}, {{OoS}}, and {{OoA}}. It takes place in the "Downfall" split timeline after {{OoT}}, where Ganon defeated the Hero of Time. The prologue speaks of Link defeating [[Ganon]] and saving [[Hyrule]], an apparent reference to {{ALttP|-}}. Link journeys away from [[Hyrule]] to embark on a "quest for enlightenment".<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote= Ever vigilant, you decided to journey away from Hyrule on a quest for enlightenment...|game= LA|page= 3}}</ref> The "quest for enlightenment" away from Hyrule is the story told in {{OoS|-}} and {{OoA|-}}. After defeating Ganon once more at the end of the [[Linked Game]], Link leaves [[Labrynna]] on a boat. This leads to the events of {{LA|-}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= HH |publisher= |page= 101}}</ref> {{LA|-}} is followed by {{ALBW}} centuries later.

During an interview around the release of {{OoT}}, Shigeru Miyamoto stated that {{LA|-}} could have occurred at any point following {{OoT|-}}.<ref>{{Cite Person|quote= Ocarina of Time is the first story, then the original Legend of Zelda, then Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and finally A Link to the Past.
