Zero said:But who is "his" there is pretty much a new hero every game. How on Earth would they all happen to be named Link? Unless you have a bunch of hopeful mothers or something. For some reason the whole Zelda timeline thing has always bothered me a little. Once Nintendo realized they had a success on their hands with the Zelda franchise, they really should have made the games really connect. I mean, alot of it is just guess work and from what I have seen and read across many sites there is a few different ways one can go about 'linking' all these games together. I don't mind there being many years between games, even say 100, which I think Wind Waker is supposed to be far into the future. I know this probably isn't the thread for this post, and honestly its not like I am losing sleep over this. I just wished that Nintendo would have really tied all these games together. Anyways, I need to check the timeline thread here on NW. I really have not looked it over much. So, back on topic.... What gives Zero and Fink? I think its funny cause you guys are almost acting like Link is real or something. You guys are making me laugh. Of course he is Link. I think Nintendo gives us the option to change the name, so the person playing feels like he is the hero. I always thought it a little bizarre when companies do this. The Final Fantasy series comes to mind, which makes sense cause those are rpgs and in a way Zelda games have been sortof classified as rpgs in a way. Zero said:I don't think that is the same though, because there is only one Cloud, whereas "Link" is just the name given to a bunch of heroes of HyruleQuestion: All the characters in SS, like Link, Zelda, her dad, ect, ect...all of them live in Skyloft. From what I have read about the game, which isn't much, and from the 10-15 reviews I have read, no one really mentions that this game is set in Hyrule. Im really not caring about spoilers here, but since it seems this game takes place before all the others, like telling the origin of the master sword, ect.......Am I assuming correctly that there is no Hyrule in this game? Or maybe the earth below Skyloft is where the Hyrule of the future ends up being? I still am hoping that by the end of the game, we are told what happens to Skyloft. I mean, there is no land or continent in the sky in future Zeldas like OoT. Now in TP there is that one level that takes place in the sky. Even though I know its just a game, stuff like this bothers me just a tad. I mean, floating land, continents, they just are not possible. Where the hell does the river come from. Like, out of no where?! |

But they refer to him as Link in all the instruction manuals don't they? There's probably enough supplementary material for each game to deduce that they're all called Link. Official mangas, instruction manuals, etc. Or, in Smash Bros. Brawl for instance, if you look at Toon Link's trophy, it says: Brawl (via Super Smash Bros. Wikia) said:"Link as he appeared in The Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, with big eyes and an expressive face. He lived peacefully on Outset Island until a bird captured his little sister, and he came to her rescue. In The Wind Waker, he had to crawl, press up to walls, and the like. His green clothes were worn on his 12th birthday and are the lucky outfit of the hero of legend." When I read "Link as he appeared in The Wind Waker," that tells me that they consider him a character that spans many different games. If this is Link as he appeared in Wind Waker, doesn't that mean that Link has also appeared in many other games? |
