Splitters Wanted?

[bgrugby]

Uh, the Great Flood happens quite a while after OoT. So why would the Link from OoT have had to have done anything?

Well it did not necessarily had to be Link but one of his decendants, but since there was no Link after that ending of OoT he had no decendants, that is why the Link of WW was not related to him and had to earn the right to be the chosen hero, which even shocked the King of Hyrule.

No I am not saying my theory is correct it is just what I have found to be the best, PH could destroy it (i.e. if Ganon is resurrected). But no one for sure what is the right theory (except for perhaps the creators). Heck it could even be all of us making a big deal about this and there is no timeline, every game (except for those that are direct sequals) is simply a new game unrelated to the previous (i.e. the Final Fantasy method).

Of course the purpose of me creating this thread was to discuss with other Splitters but obviously there are none other here (people say there are but they either aren't here anymore or not coming here).

Edit: Ack, let me rephrase that. Why did Link's (OoT) descendants have to have any heroes amongst them? I don't remember any rule stating that all the Links were related.

[bgrugby]

Why do all the Links have to be related?

They don't, as WW showed but since the Triforce of Courage had no holder as htere was no more Link no one had the power to stop Ganon, and obviously no one was strong enough to obtain the Master Sword or inherit the Triforce (which was probably broken apart after Link was sent back explaining why it was in pieces in WW).

[Commodore Axilon]

The King of Red Lions says that the Triforce of Courage was shattered when the Hero of Time went on another adventure in another land. Which was presumably MM, but now that we have TP I have no idea what he could be referring to.

Anyway, my point is the Hero of Time was obviously around after he defeated Ganondorf and the KoRL knew this, so the only possible explanation is that TWW happens after the Hero of Time returns to the past. Therefore I see no inconsistency.

Ok well that is your theory, and again I hope other splitters show up so that we can discuss what they think (especially since I am a newcomer on the splitter bandwagon) and hear their theories, not have single line theorist come in and talk about how a Split timeline is impossible.

[LadyNintendo]

If there's a split timeline, it could still be possible: the other adventure being sent back in time. In a single timeline, we've got LA, OOA and OOS to be "another" adventure.

What in the Adult timeline suggests all these things never happened in their past?

I mean, my believe in the single timeline is that everything that happened in the child timeline, including the ending, happened in the past of the adult timeline (ie, single timeline = adult timeline is the future of the child timeline, and the child timeline is the past of the future one). The adult timeline ended well and had everything solved. Why create a new timeline that requires the hero a hardly lesser amount of trouble if he wants to solve the same problems he solved earlier? That's hardly a reward. But, if the timelines are the same, Link can just leave for seven years and do whatever he wants, because the other sleeping Link will solve all problems. And when he's done, he gets send back in time as a reward and the Link that had a break can claim his rightfull place.

sigh

When Link goes back after defeating Ganon that creates a split because when Link goes back obviously Ganon is dealt with cause Link tells Zelda what happened (Ganon's punishment was probably shown in TP). That means it is impossible for the events that happened to adult Link to happen in OoT thus creating a split or alternate timeline (stole that from Back to the Future) on that continues with Link and Zelda and one that continues on after Link left and adult Zelda.

[Commodore Axilon]

Huh? I have no idea what you're trying to say. Clarify please.

[LadyNintendo]

I miss the logic in the first sentence and therefore in the rest. Please clarify.

[bgrugby]

EDIT: After writing an EXTREMELY long explaination, I realized something was amiss, as something from TP came to my mind. So as of right now I got nothing to say till I finish TP again cause right now it could be throwing a major curveball into some of my game orders. I need a stiff drink now

[Commodore Axilon]

Nothing? Not even a hint?
Can't you at least tell us what you thought it was?
Pretty please.

[bgrugby]

Go here, this video will explain it better then I can right now, especially since a few things in TP (especially one scene) is bugging me right now about the order:

P.S. there is an video ad before it.

Edit4: Arrgh! This is really getting on my nerves! I had it, then I didn't, I had it again, then I didn't again. Right now I'm installing the necessary plugin, so it might take awhile. How did you get it? What's your media player?

[bgrugby]

Edit3: Man, screw this. My computer must suck or something, 'cause this is taking too friggin' long. Can't you just tell me what it says?

Sorry it gives me a headache everytime trying to explain it besides I do not want to think about it till I play through TP again, it should work cause I just checked the link, it is a pretty long movie (about 15 minutes) so it might take some time.

Well one would be the opening of Wind Waker when they go over the legend on how there was no Link to stop Ganon causing the Great Flood, the reason Link was not there to stop Ganon was because he didn't exist as he was sent back at the end of OoT

Or because he was in Termina.
