This is DEFINETLY surprising!

[Mysterious F.]

I think we realized that already.  

What else could they have been named for?

[LadyNintendo]

Ooh, didn't think of that. The Oracles look EXACTLY the same. The only other games that follow the exception are FS and FSA, and then later TMC. This is due to the graphics in the game they look similar. Plus, I doubt EVERY Oracle would look exactly the same. (every feature was there) Also, MC seems like a very good place to put it. Also, in the pamphlet that comes with MC, the picture of Zelda has the Triforce on her dress, PROOF that the Triforce existed in Hyrule. If they aren't together, than the only thing my timeline would change by is that MC would be befroe the Oracles, NOT togehter with them.

I have to say, I don't get what you are saying. I'm sure it's me, so sorry for that. Are you saying the similarities in appearance between the OOx oracles and TMC oracles is mere standard recycling, or that it stays an argument for placing OOx and TMC together? About the Triforce: I can give a lot more examples of the Triforce being in TMC. Hyrulse Castle had Triforce-depictions all over the place. But what does it mean according to you?

[Mysterious F.]

Okay, what I'm saying is:

1) The Triforce exists in MC, but where in Hyrule I don't know.

Added = The Light Force is something different. I actually know think that this Light Force is really the another Triforce, like how Courage wasn't in LOZ. Mabye even the one in the middle that's upside-down. In fact, the Minish gave the Hero of Men (Not that Ghost King Guy) the Light Force, so the Minish owned it.

It's actually kinda proof MC's after OOT. The Minish owned a fourth Triforce (Triforce of ?, unknown, possibly Light) that SURELY would have been spoken of in the OOT creation legend so the legend would be:

As the Goddesses left the land they created, they made several magical items with great power. These were called Triforces, and looked like Golden Triangles. The three that had the same power type as the goddesses joined together and formed The True Force, made of the Triforce of Courage, the Triforce of Wisdom, and the Triforce of Power. The True Force rested in the spot where the Golden Goddesses left the world, which became the Sacred Realm. The other Triforces were scattered across the world they created.

2) I've changed my mind about the Oracles and MC.

Wait, so you guys are saying that even though Aunoma is one of the key designers of the Zelda storylines, what ever he says doen't count?

Hello, he designs the games, whatever he says gos.
Will you non splittist ever admit you might be wrong?

[Commodore Axilon]

Dude, this was eight months ago. Other than me, nobody there even really posts here anymore.

And I really don't care about timeline debates anymore, so I'm not even going to argue with you. I still believe in the single timeline, but that's really more personal preference than anything else.

Oh, and by the way, nobody can be wrong when it comes to the fictional chronology of a fictional universe.

[Hi no Seijin]

Well, I could mess up the chronology of the Harry Potter universe.  Or does that statement only count when it applies to the Zelda-verse and other games where there isn't a clear timeline between games?

[Commodore Axilon]

No. The neat thing about fictional universes is that they don't actually exist, so who's to say you're wrong about anything?

I wasn't really trying to make a point there, just critiquing his choice of words.

[Hi no Seijin]

...

Some got post deletion happy. >>

Anywho....

Ah.  Still, I feel an urge to rewrite the Harry Potter timeline and mail it to J.K. Rowling.

[TP Zelda]

I bet after they make the final game, all the games will connect... bwuahhahhahahaha..

[Hi no Seijin]

Nah, as a slap to the face, they're going to make it as ambiguous as possible and leave several loose ends that are open to several interpretations.  Nintendo is cool like that.

[Hi no Seijin]

Why are OoA and OoS in two different branches?  Their stories could be linked together.

That is one kerazy timeline. I'd love to see the reasoning behind it since it doesn't really seem to make sense just looking at it. I mean, TP after ALttP, LA, TLoZ, and AoL?

[iastreb]

Why do everything has to make sense? ITs darnstupid but still...  

[Commodore Axilon]

Well, what's the point of making a timeline if you don't even think it makes sense? Kind of defeats the purpose, don't you think?
