Zelda games discussion

Well I haven't got a chance to read mine since I have been busy with Uni work.



Whoa, whoa wait! There's a fishing mini game in Ocarina of Time? O_o;

Yes, and the Fishing Hole of TP is supposedly the very same one, considering how the granddaughter of the original fishing man owns it.

Granddaughter? I don't believe that was explicitly stated.

[Poetry]

Really? I thought the STAR minigame was pitifully easy. It was one of those "First time, every time" games for me, on both difficulty levels... There's plenty of time to carefully aim so you're hitting long lines with every shot. It's if you just shoot haphazardly and only get 1-2 per shot that you'll run into problems.

Oh, guess it was just me, then. I don't usually have the concentration skills or accuracy to successfully carry out such things, that's probably why.

Granddaughter? I don't believe that was explicitly stated.

It's not explicitly stated but it's heavily implied. There's a picture of the man who runs the fishing game from OoT in her room and she also starts scratching herself if you look at it, which is an obvious throwback to the same man. I wouldn't say she's his granddaughter, though, more just distant relative, perhaps.

She is probably a descendant of his, I know; that's why I specifically questioned the granddaughter part of his post.

[KillerDraco]

I always thought it was just wishful thinking on Hena's part. I mean, her dialogue when you look at the picture suggests that it'd be cool if she was a descendent of his, but she can't actually prove it.

Either way, s'not really important in the long run whether there's blood between them.

Oh right, I thought you were questioning the actual blood ties between them, sorry.

True, but why would she have a picture of him in the first place? Considering the amount of time between the events of the two games (can't say for certain of course, but it's certainly a while) surely it would be more than just a coincidence.

[mitchman_93]

That's right, haven't actually played TP in ages. Descendant sure, but I would expect her to be at most 2 generations after him, OoT to TP is like what 100-120 years at most when it comes to time speculation?

[Poetry]

I think very rarely do we have official sources confirming the actual lengths of time between games. There's not exactly truckloads of information regarding that in the games themselves either, so your guess is as good as anyone else's.

[mitchman_93]

Sure, but I doubt that there would be much time between OoT-MM-TP. Ganon's execution would be sometime before Link leaves Hyrule in the lost woods, Termina could eat up god knows how many years, an I doubt the Hero's Shade which is more then likely OoT Link is older then 50-60. But yeah, the lack of any basis sucks. Anyway, anyone else think the 2 gaps in the timeline marked with a - are the next era's represented in the next two games or at least whatever Zelda's we get this generation? I'm of course talking about the ones in Hyrule Hystoria, which was overseen by Nintendo themselves. I would assume the Child line would be on the Wii u, while the post Skyward Sword one would be on the 3DS like PH and ST. I mostly want them covered because I worry on how Nintendo would handle events outside of the given timeline, or basically in the futures of the 3 splits.

Pretty sure those just signify that a large amount of time passed, not that the next games we get will take place there. Specifically because Nintendo doesn't care about the timeline, which is pretty clear based on how it was sort of shoehorned together.

[mitchman_93]

I dunno, I just find their segmentation weird for it to be just time passing. I mean if that was the case, it would just be there instead of the way its presented.

And even if they weren't, the era's of prosperity, chaos, and perhaps even the golden era could provide us with games. The timeline isn't shoehorned as much as you think it might be imo, the only reason why they had to go with a 3rd timeline is cause there would honestly be no way to fit them in the other 2. FS and FSA though are hilarious.

Not necessarily, it's just gaps in the timeline. There has been no event in history referenced in a game to put something there.

[Dimentio]

That's just it, in your opinion. The timeline was made by Nintendo to appease fans and give some semblance of fanservice to them. Skyward Sword confirmed certain things about the timeline of events, but only ever spiritually and not much concretely. They don't have to follow it very strivtly and to be honest it would be shooting themselves in the foot if they did.

Any of you guys ever watch Sugar Dome? Oh well, who cares? CAKE!

Two or less more weeks til GDC 2013, Man the anticipation is killing me, I just we'll see New Zelda 3DS games such as A brand new since WW Toon Link game in full 3D and Zelda Majora's Mask 3D. I just hope they will be at GDC to keep the us feeling famished after the releases of other big named 3DS games like Luigi's Mansion 2 and Animal Crossing New Leaf, it can't be just Pokémon X & Y and Mario & Luigi 4 after this.

[BCVM22]

I just we'll see New Zelda 3DS games such as A brand new since WW Toon Link game in full 3D and Zelda Majora's Mask 3D.

We're certainly not getting both of those at once. There's still nothing, anywhere, that says we're getting the latter, and if we ever do, it will be long after the former.

Although I could see possibly a new 3ds zelda being released holiday season 2013. We already know they're pursuing it. I believe they've been working on it since 2011 so at that point it would have been in development for 2 years so its possible.

[mitchman_93]

3DS Zelda is gonna happen this year. Nothing shows signs of it, but its the one thing missing from the 3DS, and it just feels right. Nothing major bar Pokemon is coming from Nintendo for the end of the year, and I would like to assume Zelda would be their second holiday title.

I wouldn't count on it.

But...cake...



The new game doesn't seem to be coming out anytime soon and the Wind Waker remake seems like it will come out later this year at least.

Still...cake...
