>_> Nintendo said that it was 100 or so years after OoT and lots of time before WW.

That interview is outdated, and is from before Miyamoto turned the tables. According to a much more recent interview with Aonuma TP is 100 or so years after OoT, but not before TWW. TWW is, according to Aonuma, in the Adult Timeline.

QuoteArggh, not you too! Does nobody notice that the two temples look quite different? And there's also the fact that one is eight stories tall.

Seriously, though, the statue in the undersea castle in TWW kills, no, utterly destroys your argument.

And that's just one example.

QuoteSo I'm thinking that the Sacred Realm, and by extension the Triforce, is independent of time. Ergo you have quite a nice explanation for each of the Triforce holders in TP; and the fact that there's another "past" Ganondorf running around in the "real" world sets up the events of TP quite nicely.

The Golden Land is in the same world, or same Universe. If one is to believe the Japanese version of ALttP that's not possible.

What are you talking about? How does it destroy my argument?

I'm assuming you believe in the split timeline, correct? How else would you explain the fact that the Triforce of Courage exists in the Adult Link timeline? You see, Zelda sends Link back in time while he has the ToC. Yet in TWW, there it is.

That's actually quite a problem with the split timeline as a whole though, doncha think? Because, if you're correct, the Triforce pieces could only stay in one of the two timelines. Unless I'm missing something really obvious here.

To me, it would certainly make sense that the "whole" Triforce of Courage exists on one path of the forked road. I think that's probably what happened.

It destroyed your argument by proving OOT wasn't erased from history.

'...When the hero goes to a new land...'

King of the Red Lions implies that the new land is past Hyrule, and the Triforce, so that it wouldn't be an incomplete power without courage, created a new one that was split and hid throughout Hyrule.

Split Timeline proven, believe it unless oyu want to be 100% wrong on timeline info.

First of all, you can't prove that the "new land" was past Hyrule.

Second of all, nowhere is it said that a "new" ToC was created; you just pulled that out of your bum.

Third of all (?), I don't even see how that would prove a split timeline anyway.

There. Three things wrong with your theory that "proves" the split timeline. Now I'm not gonna say this "100%" proves the single timeline either, just that your "proof" is most unconvincing.

QuoteTWW NEVER claims that the Hero never returned.

"The people believed that the Hero of Time would again come to save them... But the hero did not appear. Faced by an onslaught of evil, the people could do nothing but appeal to the gods."

Well.. There it says he didn't appear to take on with Ganon. And that's why the gods flooded Hyrule. I'm sure you already knew that.
