The Hyrulian Royal family symbol

[ZeldaFreak]

I dont think its right because look at the picture, it just doesnt seem right. ;)

Thats hilarious Lolz ;D

[ZeldaFreak]

Isnt it? I made it myself! ;D
Anyway, I think that the bird could be the pheonix, because it represents rebirth and that would make sense because of Link being reencarnated in every game, which is very similar.  :)

But the hyrulian royal family probably didn't know about link when they decided on symbol.

"Hero of Legends"?

...just saying, I would assume they did.

[The Glamour Nazi]

Link wasn't always around.

[ZeldaFreak]

Yeah but whenever he's not there they are always looking forward to him returning. It seems like in every game people are telling you how much they were looking forward to when the Hero of Legends would return. So there. :P

[The Glamour Nazi]

But Link wasn't even heard of before the first game (Whatever timeline you follow). The Hero of time wasn't always needed. So they could've chosen it back then.

[ZeldaFreak]

But I dont remember them even having the symbol yet in the first game.

[Keaton]

The first Zelda game, "The Legend of Zelda", is not canonically "the first game" as according to the timeline.  In fact, if you think about it it can't be the first game-- since the whole reason the Triforce was fragmented was because of something to do with the original Hero of Time.  :P

[ZeldaFreak]

That's true. But then what game is first? :-\

Anyway, some of link's shields shows a winged figure (towards the bottom of the shield) which I am guessing is related. :)

[The Glamour Nazi]

its on his shield in WW and OoT and others.

I Think Minish cap is first. You know, with the refering to Hero as Gustaf and not Link.

This is correct.  The first game according to the most recent indisputable timeline is Minish Cap.

Yeah those ones! Is that the same bird do you think? ;D

[The Glamour Nazi]

It's Definately the same symbol. it's also on MC shield. It's on all of them except the few that have lower powered graphics.
