I talked to the guard on night watch and he said he studied poes.7 years later,there's a mysterious man that is unidentified who studies and collects poes.What do you think? ???
in OoT? i cant think ;D
It's possible that it could be the same person, but I think that it's someone else; the guard probably would've evacuated just like everyone else in the town.
Naah it is him
He's a soldier. If he's still alive he lives in hiding somewhere
It seems to obvious a connection for it not to be so, but it does seem odd that he doesn't even mention that your green tunic reminds him of a little kid who used to break pots in that room he spends all his days in.
The spears and swords on the wall are still there, too.
This is true, still you wonder why this soldier would suddenly start dressing up in purple robes and gain a single red glowing eye...
He's transformed by staying in the Market Ruins for too long, I suppose.
He got his wish.He wanted somethingbad to happen.Ganon took over! :'(
Are you suggesting that this is a bad thing?!? If Ganon didn't take over then what would Link have to do? Sit there all day fishing in a pool? Oh and if the guard/poe collector has collected his poes he would have to leave the market square, surely severing the link with the evil powers flowing from Gannon's castle.
The evil powers may have to strong of a hold on the Poe Collector.
I wouldn't count on that. It's not like that Link changes in any way if he fights Poes for a prolonged period of time, right? ;)
Well, anyway, as for the Poe Collector believed to be the guard, if he really did transform, it would probably be the result of a curse or the aftereffects of something in his food. ;D
When you talk to him as an adult,he'll say something like,''I like all the problems.''I forget what he said! :-[
I think there the same
As a guard it's his duty to defend the town with his life. The chances that he survived the siege is tiny, and even if he did I guess he must have joined some sort of rebellion against Ganon.
I think its probably a little nod to the guard... as for how he got his glowing eye and appears to have shrunk... a wizzard did it (everything odd is done by an unnamed wizzard)
Damn those unnamed wizards...
It wasn't, a wizard! >:(

OK, It's me; the one who knows all. Now, listen gto my words of wisdom...
OK, you have ALttP? Where it says to press start, wait. It will show the Proluge again. Notice that there was a great war, and Many men were lost, and that the evil thif Ganondorf was sealed away. It is reffering to OoT. Thatv guard is one of the many that is lost in the Great War, being during the 7 years that Link was in the Portal. Being that the guard was dead, the poe man, known as a Garo, decided, "Hey! Everybody is dead! Now people will welcome who I am. I will make a shop here." Just like the Garo in MM are in the area of the dead.

Hey! I'm an unnamed wizard! :P
I'm not too sure about that, Nogare, but it seems good.
>:( Prove me wrong!
That's why I said it seemed good; I have a lack of counterpoints.
:o.... oh. Ok then. Why are you not sure, though?
Because it there is also a link between the guard and the poe collector. As the guard says that he wishes there was more evil in the world (Or something along those lines...).
Does Nintendo purpously leave us with these mysteries to solve? Have we ever sent one of our things into nintendo? Maybe they would like it! Doubt it. :P But still, these are great theories! I love all the thinking thats going on here! Keep up the great work guys! Ill also put in a word or two every so often. :)
The more likely case is that they are one and the same.
In this game, there is the problem of change.
If you meet a man in the street whome you have not seen for so long, would it not be that their bodies are different? They fight a war over 7 years, and who are the casualties? One man loses an eye, another becomes crippled, are then, you to assume that they are different men? Or would you say that their bodies are different, but there souls, same?
Ask any veteran of a war, and they will tell you how they lost an eye or a limb. Ask any veteran of a war, and they will tell you that they have become warped by the constant bloodshed.
The man fought, but is as the last life remaining. In reality, he seems more of a phantasm than a living man. Look at the castle, does it not change? If after 7 years of surviving such a place, tell me that you would be as you are now. tell me that you would not face the brunt of a thousand horrors, and tell me that your eyes would look the same as they do now, after glimsping such, or tell me that all would remain would be that single red eye.
People would change... dramatically. I'm reading a saga of fantasy novels right now, called the Malazan Book of the Fallen. As the title hints the main theme in the saga is warfare. That saga really goes into the whole idea about how war changes people.
Some situations are rather extreme, though. Take the Tenescowri, for example. They are the peasant army of the Pannion Seer, who rules the growing Pannion Domin. They are the inhabitants of the conquered lands. They have absolutely no rights, so they are forced to join the Tenescowri to get food. And that food is human flesh, the meat of the army's victims.
I've just read past a horrible battle in a small city called Capustan. No one who were to survive such horrors as those the defenders meet there would be the same after the battle. And that doesn't seem to be the case, either. :-*
As for the guard, though I admit it can be the same I like to believe he was killed when Ganon's army attacked. Possibly within the city, as that's where the gate is. Imagine the horrors. It would most likely be like oblivion.
Heh, speaking of oblivion, I'd guess the chaos would resemble a certain battle towards the end of the game Oblivion.
he turned in2 an Alky 2.There's about 5 bottles of booze on the left side of his bed.That's what he bangs 2 get the poe's spirits back in their cages. :P
