OoT isn't the First anymore

[zeldafreak1997]

TP looks like its going to take somewhat after OOT although thats just me.

[Master Goron]

Do you know what I find really funny? I make this thread and convince many people that OoT isn't first, and in the process, I again believe OoT comes first.

[Evilslayer]

It's the same with me, lol. I've just started fancy the split timeline:

OoT, MM->ALttP, LA->LoZ, AoL->OoS/OoA

That was the Child Timeline, which is no doubt my favourite of them.

Here is the Adult Timeline, such as I see it:

OoT->TP->TWW->TMC->FS, FSA

EDIT: This may also explain the oracles in TMC. It might be that TMC takes place about the same time as the Oracles.

[Master Dragmire]

well it wuld have 2 go OoT to ALttP because One.Thier are both on Hyrule # 1 and two. because ganon is in the dark world.

[Evilslayer]

Both in Hyrule? So are TMC, FS, FSA, LoZ and now also TP.

[Twinrova]

hey, i'm new here and i was reading your arguments.
TMC could've come first but the main enemy is Vatti
who corrisponds with the four swords games. all other games post Ganon as the main threat, either as human or pigmonsterguy. i'm thinking that OoT did come first because it explains the creation of Hyrule and shows how Ganon got the triforce of power, which he has in every other game he's in. Vatti isn't released until after ganon os sealed away when Link pulls the Four Sword out of the stone.

in conclusion OoT came first in my opinion because all other games involve Ganon being revived.

[Evilslayer]

Actually, there's evidence in OoT that it's not first. The Sages has been gathered before, the Master Sword is a legendary blade, etc. On the top of all that, the Ancient Sages built the Temple of Time. Why right then? Why not before?

My theory is that something happened. I think that before the Temple of Time was built it was a lot easier to enter the Golden Land. Eventually, an ancient daemon (Ganon) found the hidden land and took the Triforce. Hence, a Hero and the Sword of Evil's Bane were needed.

I've also realized that in a split timeline TMC can come after ALttP (and that is very likely, unless LoZ and the Oracles turn out to be in the adulthood timeline).

If that's the case, the Hero of Men lived a long time before OoT. Then OoT Link would be Link III.

[Twinrova]

ok, that may be true, but it isn't stated in OoT that the sages were summoned before. i just beat the game for ninth time yesterday and am beating it again today, so i know all dialog stated in this game.

FYI- i'm trying to make a speed record here. my fastest time for getting perfect player is 13 Hr and 24 Min non stop play time.

but just in case i'm wrong and i may have forgot that the sages were stated to be summoned before, OoT is definetly the second or third.

just one more thing: if Ganon had entered the Golden Realm, Sacred Realm, whatever, why does he not get the Triforce of Power till OoT? just wondering.

[Evilslayer]

There's no evidence that Ganon doesn't get the Triforce of Power before OoT. According my theory he was killed, and he can't keep it when he's dead. So, where do you think the Triforce was taken?

As for the Sages, so far there's no reason to believe they can be awakened as Sages without Link's help. None of them ever has, so far.

FYI- i'm trying to make a speed record here. my fastest time for getting perfect player is 13 Hr and 24 Min non stop play time.

Believe it or not, but my record is 6 hours and 8 minutes.

[Twinrova]

"According my theory he was killed, and he can't keep it when he's dead."

Ganon states that he does still have the Triforce of power while he is in the void. and ganon was not killed in any game except for TWW.

and as for the 6 hrs somthin min, that's cool. but if you used gliches or cheats your a pansey. and i hope you mean you beat the game, collected all skulltulas, heartpieces, and found every secret hole, cave, and tunnel. just checking!

[Evilslayer]

Ganon wasn't killed in TWW; he was only turned into stone. LoZ, OoS/OoA and ALttP are the only games where he's killed.

[Twinrova]

alright, since no one gives a woot about what i think then i'll quite this post and replay all the zelda games this weekend. then i'll get back to you all.

good by and good night!

[legendaryblade1000]

i actually think that Jack is right with his theory, so i will quietly side there, but i have a question, at first, they said that TP is going to be after wind waker, then they said its after Oot, anyone know which one's true?

[Danyel Phelps]

Hello friends, new poster and such.

For a while I did buy into the Timeline theory documented on this very well designed site until I started up a new game of OoT on my old N64.

After you fail to save the Deku Tree and sneak into the Palace Courtyard, Zelda informs Link of her prophecy. When they exchange names, she exclaims that his name sounds "Somewhat familure."

It's possible that Zelda vaguely remembered his name from her dream, but I somehow doubt she would revisit the issue when she already made it clear that he must be the hero of time.

[DarkZelda]

i think OoT is first because it explains the history of hyrule.   im also liking EvilSlayers timelines.
