Where does TP fit it the timeline? tell me what you think! Might contain spoiler

[larwaa]

Where in the timeline do u think TP fits?
i think its somewhere after OoT and before WW..
I can't find a solution of how it fits but i think it fits better there than any other place

[Commodore Axilon]

That's definitely the most logical place to put it.

I'd say it's around 300 years after OoT, and around 600 years before TWW.

SPOILER!!



















yes.. something like that...
but what about Ganondorf being sent to the twilight realm.. on WW it said the Hero never returned and it says nothing about Ganon returning twice....
but since WW came out first there might be some kind of change in the timeline theory Nintendo MIGHT have...





















SPOILER END

[Commodore Axilon]

I just assume that the tales of the two heroes have been told so many times they just kind of merged into one. So something that TP Link did could be attributed to the Hero of Time. e.g. Splitting the Triforce of Courage into eight shards.

[larwaa]

interesting theory.. i dont think so though... seems kinda... not right.. no offence
can't think of anything else though.. not right now

[Commodore Axilon]

How would you explain the discrepancies then?

[MagmarFire]

According to Nintendo, TP takes place a few decades after OoT. I think that would place it before TWW.

Impossible. The Hero of Time is constantly referred to as the "Ancient Hero."

[MagmarFire]

Absolutely not impossible. What's the definition of ancient? Yes, it means old, but what is "old," anyway? It's all a matter of perspective. All because something is referred to as ancient doesn't mean that it's impossible for it to be placed that way in the timeline.

Besides, I think a century and a half of time after something happened makes the event in question ancient. Also, isn't a century and a half "a few decades"? Fifteen decades. Is that not a "few"?

Commodore Axilon, while I don't agree with your placing Twilight Princess after Wind Waker, I've got some evidence for that. In Ordona, there's several depictions of a Triforce piece split in eight. Placing Wind Waker before Twilight Princess makes it seem like a historical reference.

I think the constant referral to the Hero of Time as the Ancient Hero serves to drive home the point that Ocarina of Time is one of, if not the, first games in the timeline.

And my two cents regarding the topic: I think Twilight Princess is between Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker.

[LadyNintendo]

Since a few decades can mean anything between 20 years and some time after 20 years, I don't think it's really worth discussing how much time there is between OOT and TP. Personally, I too think it's 300 years or something because that seems more logical or, but it really doesn't matter.

Larwaa > Some splitters think TP comes after the child timeline and TWW after the adult timeline. It's a decent explanation, but as a single timeline theorist, I just say that in none of the games it is never mentioned he returned multiple times, while he certainly did. Also, there's the possibility that even OOT wasn't his first appearance. It really doesn't matter. It seems time ties the stories together. Considering Hyrule hardly seems to care about its past, except the knowledge there have been some big events, I think that's a reasonable explanation. Especially if the stories are so similar.

Um, where did I say this? I said it's around 600 years before TWW.

[Eralk Fang]

Huh, I recall you arguing that somewhere else, Commodore Axilon. Must've gotten you confused with someone else. Sorry about that.

[Paul]

I believe Commodore Axilon argued the fact that the amount of time after OoT was merely a few decades, and that he prefers his own statement of around 300 years after.

On-Topic: I agree with Commodore Axilon on his placement of TP in the timeline.

Really? Where?
