Races and enemies.

[Nabooru]

Are Gerudos in this game? It's no good without Gerudos!

Very true....it can never be the best w/o gerudos!

[alical]

It says TP takes place several decades after OoT.
Therefore it is no more than about 90 years after OoT. Races would take a lot longer to completely die out.

[Pale Dim]

Yeah, usually it takes thousands of years, or maybe even millions.
But if the Gerudos arn't in it anyway, so help me god.....!

[Evilslayer]

Therefore it is no more than about 90 years after OoT. Races would take a lot longer to completely die out.

It can easily be 200 years. Besides, they don't have to die out not to be in the game. If they don't fit in the game Nintendo won't add them. I must also add that civilizations has in the past been completely wiped out in just a day, or so. Atlantis, anyone? So the Gerudo could have easily met their end before TP.

And remember that Aonuma said that TP is between OoT and TWW way before the delay (a few weeks earlier he said he didn't know where it fits, and a month earlier he said that it's after TWW), so the information is somewhat outdated. Back when he made that statement they were still making changes.

Take the Twilight Realm for example. At E3 2005 it was black-white, and everyone who entered it turned into animals. A few months later Link was the only one who changed. At E3 this year the black-white of the Twilight Realm was gone and now it's a very strong orange colour.

oooh calm down it was just a thought.

Anyway, If it was like 200 years they probably would have had said centuries. We will find out when it is released.

[Evilslayer]

Maybe he did say centuries. Translation isn't always perfect. Plus, he might have said decades to mislead us.

[Pale Dim]

Well, it would take centuries if they were being hunt to extinction, but other than that....

[alical]

Yeah, but even if they were there would probably be some who escaped. I think the only reason some of the races would not be in the game is if Nintendo just decided they didn't fit and they just didn't show themselves. I doubt they will not still exist.

[Evilslayer]

Many fans seem to think the new races are extinct in the old games. How do we know that? How do we know that the Tentari/Parapa Deserts aren't inhabited by Gerudos/Zunas? How do we know the Ruto Mountains isn't inhabited by Gorons? How do we know the forests aren't inhabited by Kokiris/Deku Scrubs?

The Gerudo may not be in TP, but I'd bet you anything they're not extinct any way. In OoT they only have a fortress and a temple. There's no way that's their whole culture.

In reality they would have towns, or at least villages. Even if they consist only of tents, they would still be there.

Top Bannana...

Anyway, I have now seen Iron Knuckles as well, They look seriously awesome, they have great swords!

[Evilslayer]

Or maybe they're DARKNUTS. :-*

[alical]

Yeah, I know iron knuckles usually have axes, but this one looked a LOT more like an iron knuckle than a Dark nut.

It had the chainmail and the helmet looked very similar to an iron Knuckles. But the sword looked very Wind Waker esque. With a weird glow.

[Evilslayer]

How can you say it looks more like an Iron Knuckle? The ones in AoL are identical to the Darknuts in LoZ. :-*

[alical]

Sheesh, take a chill pill!

I meant it looks amolst the same as an OoT Dark nut.
So stop jumping on loose ends all right?
You seriously need to calm down.

[Evilslayer]

Noticed the  :-*-smiley? It means I wasn't entirely serious, anyway. :-* I think they look more like the Darknuts/Iron Knuckles from LoZ and AoL, and for that I'm happy.^_^
