The Desert Colossus

were any of you dissapointed that you couldnt grow older like in OoT? it kinda made me mad.

this is what he would have looked like anyway...

pretty cool huh? ;)

that would b kinda weird, i mean Link adilt link would look 2 cartoony it just (in my opinion) would of made the game worse, also i think  it was good storyline bcus he's not the Master Of Time in WW

I never thought about it before, but after looking at that picture I think it would be awesome. It looked kind of like the Link from the cartoon.

i mean it would b interesting. but shouldnt he have grown up 7 years when he pulled the master sword out in hyrule castle in WW?

well actually, the hero of time was only 10 when he pulled the master sword out of its pedistal. the hero of winds was 15 when he pulled it out. is it just me, or did the hero of winds look like he ws 9 rather than 15?? :P

If he was 15 in WW, maybe he was already close enough to 17 to pull out the sword without going seven years into the future. And if he had gotten older, maybe he would only grow up 2 years?  ???

Wait, where does it say that the hero of winds is 15 years old? I can't remember how old the hero of time was either? Can someone inform me about the age requirements to be a hero of wind/time? ???

it states that when the children of wind fall reach the age of 15, they are to be garbed in green to honor the hero of time. in the OoT (i forgot where, but i remember hearing it) link was only ten, and if he is kept for 7 years, well... do the math! ;)

ok i can sort this out

in Oot he was 10 and grew to be 17 this is b-cuz first all ganon could not get all the pices of the triforce second he could not beat ganon b-cuz all the sages could not power up the master sword (the could only b awaken when there was a great evil AKA ganon)

in WW he was in need of the Master sword  be-4 the age of 17 he had to have it 2 beat ganondorf at that time (in Oot he was not a threat at the start  ) so he got 2 pull the sword early and use it's power

hope this clears up why he did not grow up in WW

i just thought of something.......

when ww link started the addventure, he was 12, bcause it says that all boys of ww link's island on their 12 birthday wear the clothes like the hero of time

no mater the age (sry WW was not my fav. so I did not listen) the rest of what i said was correct

Quoteit states that when the children of wind fall reach the age of 15, they are to be garbed in green to honor the hero of time. in the OoT (i forgot where, but i remember hearing it) link was only ten, and if he is kept for 7 years, well... do the math!  

There is no such statement. The game says that he's the same age as the legendary Hero, but not what age he is. The legendary Hero, however, is 8-12. Anywhere between that, at least.

He erases the future, so that doesn't count. And even if there's a split timeline and TWW somehow is in the adult timeline (although it does make referances to MM) he is MENTALLY 8-12 in the second part.

And I believe it's the Pedestal of Time, not the Master Sword, that is to blame.

Quotewere any of you dissapointed that you couldnt grow older like in OoT? it kinda made me mad.

To me it seems like you're mad because it wasn't like OoT. OoT is one game, and the fifth one in the series. It's not even the big revolution. LoZ was.

OoT is the only game in the series with that feature, and it's almost impossible to introduce that feature in future Zelda games without ripping off OoT.

Some may not mind that, but constant ripping off and stealing from previous games (mainly AoL and ALttP) is one of the things that killed OoT a little for me.

some where it said he was 12, somewhere else it said 15. in the words of barry
same diff.

it mentioned somewhere.....i think the booklet that comes with the game that link is 12 yrs old in WW

that would help if i looked at that ever

i know! nobody ever actually reads the manual... ::)
i always search it for cool pictures to draw ;)

ok.well, heads up: there are people that read the manual. (um, me) but i normally do not look at the control directions..... :-[

I read the manual to see what it says about the characters, and to read about the equipment even though I know it.

yea that can be fun... when your really bored...
lol

i just have no life, that's all.

but back on topic, i really did not mind being a kid, and being an adult would totally change the game (if he turned into a man). if u think about it, they would have to make a second Great Sea and all the islands, with different things everywhere, beccause time would have passed. im not sure i got my point across, but i tried :P

They would have to redo the entire Great Sea, only change some NPCs and maybe add some houses.

exactly! a lot more things to do and see! like the disco guy is all old and every thing, tetra would grow up, your grandma would die. so would sturgion and orka. new kids would be born. it would make the game a lot longer, and there would be more to do. like in ocarina of time. there is two whole different worlds to explore! i think they should have at least taken that idea into consideration... :-\

It would have taken twice as long time to make it.:/

exactly. it would have been cool, but ww is still cool ;D

thats would have been a good thing. we would have somthing still a little new before TP. so get over it! god do you have to try to prove me wrong about somthing every single time i post? i noticed you said it was like a drug proving people wrong. well if you want drugs go get high on a marker or somthing, frankly I dont care! just stop! your making me angry!

jeez, im sorry.

not to go agaisnt u, or get u mad ( :-\ im not trying 2) if it was longer, then TP would not come out in april. it would have been later.

and when did i say it was like a drug or sothing proving people wrong?

OH! im not talkin about you dark zelda, im talkin about evilslayer!
and its after one of my posts somewhere. ill try to find it.

Quoteif it was longer, then TP would not come out in april. it would have been later.

Not necassarily. Ever seen the beta screenshots of OoT? Ever wondered what happened to the old Overworld? It's only a theory, but (http://www.zeldadungeon.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=798)...

wow! thats really cool! ill have to look into that!

zelda veteran, where the hell does it say he's 15?he looks to small to be 15!

he is 12, not 15!  >:(

WOOHOO! kick butt and take names!! you go D.Z.!

zelda veteran,i love talking to you here but sometimes i have no idea wat ur saying! ::)sorry

lol. i just read that he was 15 sue me... :-\

i can't be bothered to sue you yet,but to stay on topic,link is 12 and stays 12 all through ww. ::)

Very well, But still I ponder... If the hero of time was 10, and was held until he was 17, and the hero of winds was only apart 2 years, why wasnt he too young?

I FOUND SOMTHING ON THIS VERY SITE!!

A CHICK asks
Dear Ezlo, HOW OLD IS LINK FROM "THE WIND WAKER"?

Ezlo replies...
We don't know for sure (no age is given), but I'm willing to guesstimate 15

that was an ask ezlo question!! THE ONE WHO KNOWS ALL SIDES WITH ME!!! HAHAHHAHAHA!

uh,no.he is definently 12.trust me,i may be younger than you but i know these things....lol ;)

but exlo knows all

exlo? i know who your talkin bout........it's that moaning hat ezlo

yup!

 sometimes i wish vaati turned a non moaning person into hat.............

I wish he would turn tingle into a rock!

lol but then wouldn't the rock be trying to turn himself back to normal? i can see it now
tingle as rock:tingle tingle kooloo limpah! darn,i'm still a rock!
kid:woah,sugar really is bad for children!

lol. Link is a lot cooler older tats hy i posted this.

QuoteVery well, But still I ponder... If the hero of time was 10, and was held until he was 17, and the hero of winds was only apart 2 years, why wasnt he too young?

I'm pretty sure that it's the Pedestal of Time that is to blame for Link being trapped in the Chamber of Sages. Would you allow a 10-year-old getting his hands in the Triforce? ;)

The pedestal he pulls the sword from in TWW doesn't open the gate to the Golden Land, so it doesn't matter if he's 10 or 17.

i would never let a little kid hold such an important item!

you fiend.

u wouldnt give any 10 yr old the tri-force, but link was the hero of time

true and i'm no fiend! i actually can't stop hugging little kids! ;)

ooooooooook.... w/e i still think he should have grown up. and since when do Zelda games make a ton of scence?? ???

no he shouldnt have grown up
that would just keep reapeating

Too many Zelda games are repative
i like it to be a game of its own yet with a Little bit of history

uh, yea! wat he said!

thx  ;D

no prob zv,wat does w/e mean?

its cyber talk for Whatever

oh,and wat does lmao mean? i'm new to your language! ;)

Back on topic...

I was happy as a child, and the story needed to be told that way... It would've been totally <bloppscratch> up if  we were able to be grown up... I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, enjoyed the game as it was... i was stunned!

me too ;)

i wanted link to be an adult,it looks cooler,or atleats teen like

The pedestal didn't make Link grow either though...the reason he grew was because Rauru held him until the opportune time to strike.He needed to make sure he was physically able to do the quest (Although I don't see how seven years without food,water,or exercise would make him stronger...) and he had to hide the ToC from Ganon.

I like Link as a kid, he looks cuter, because being that I'm a kid, I'm only attracted to guys around my age.

Except for MM and TLOZ, I haven't seen one TLOZ game in which I have to assume Link is not 16 (or very close to it. He seems to be the same age in TWW as he is in TP, OOT, ALTTP etc.

I dunno about WW, he looks pretty young. 10 at the youngest, maybe 12 at the oldest.

Then what do you think the kids are that are obvious younger than him? Note that their thoughts don't seem much younger than 10, while they clearly are quite a bit younger than Link. Also, Mila, Maggie and Tetra seem to be of his age. Mila goes out alone at night to some far away island and works hard to take care of her dad (not ten-ish). Maggie has a relation with a guard in the Forsaken Fortress (and I doubt they have 10-ish guards there). And Tetra....well, no matter what, I doubt a ten-year old could lead a gang of pirates (properly). It also makes some remarks a little misplaced.

Being adult Link in WW wouldn't fit the graphics or the context.
Your eyes would go ??? and then burn and die

I think having Link being young was perfect for the style as of the game as it made it pretty comedic at times, especially when the pirates launched him in the barell, that was classic  ;D

And not something you do with a kid.

Anyway, I don't think I'm capable of understanding what the graphics have to with Link's age. Is it impossible to to draw 16+ in Chibi style? Just one question, how would that work out for Link considering Gonzo is pretty much his age. Not that different, maybe a bit taller. And what's with the context? The context is that a boy who reaches the age of the Hero (last time I checked, that was 16+-) gets his sister kidnapped and is the only one prepared to go rescue her. Not to mention everybody thinks he will succeed.

Nope. I, personally, like being a kid more than an adult. Link's been a 12-year-old in every game but OoT and TP, why mess with a good thing?

he was in OoT...sorta...

Dude! Once you've played TP for awhile, then play OoT, when you're a kid your Kokori sword looks like a knife, and Link looks like a baby, when you're an adult, your sword looks like the Kokori sword, and you look like a kid, and the Boggoron sword look like Master Sword in TP, but in TP you look like an Adult/16 year old, and you're swords look the right size!

Doesn't matter much, TWW needed to be done that way, and we all got our wish in TP!

okay.its
oot-8-15
ww-12
tp-16
the legend got screwed up and all think hero is 12!
p.s.ezlos evil and dumb cuz he said nabooru stupid. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA  ;) ;) ;)

heres my oppinion
Oot:10-17
ww-12
tp-17
that is kinda logical
because in Ootlil link can't hold the sword with both hands.until he could,rauru kept him.
and in ww he could also lift it with 1 hand.
anywho...YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL A WEAPON BEFORE YOU GET IT :P

From Ninty:
OoT: 10 and 17
WW: 12
TP: 16

I think he shouldn't be an adult in TWW, it would make the game less interesting; Also, he is a child in tWW. The creators made the style fit Link's young mind and so on and so forth.

And if we're to talk of the logic in tWW, about how Tetra leads pirates and is only ten... uh... how do you breath underwater or walk on lava by changing shirts? How is WW Link able to hold the Master Sword... or the Skull Hammer? How is Link in OOT able to hold onto Kaepora Gaebora's talons without his hands being ripped to shreds?

Adding logic to some points in Zelda is... not very wise. ^w^;
