Every time he starts, he has nothing. Loses his sword (OK, he leaves it in the woods when it's not needed), loses all his items (hawks them on eBay?), loses all his hearts (hit by a car, maybe?), unlearns magic (OMG forgot how to do Quake (ALttP)), loses all his money (donates it all to the Hyrule Homeless Childrens Relief fund?), and he's got to kill bosses he's killed a few times over?<BR/><BR/>2. Why does the SAME stuff happen in each one, with little deviation, and they all have their gimmick? Two worlds in ALttP, the sea in WW/PH, etc.<BR/><BR/>A game that has a similar structure that does the timeline right is Castlevania. Only a couple of these games have similar characters. They take place a hundred years or so apart. People die, they pass down the Vampire Killer whip, but items break, ruins are lost, it makes sense. They don't rely on each other, but sometimes refer back. And so on.Dark Reality/Nate J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15304916225621184205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023151216705271100.post-21077343397776980592009-01-02T03:14:00.000-05:002009-01-02T03:14:00.000-05:00Umm... The other guy was right, your review IS kin...Umm... The other guy was right, your review IS kind of stupid.<BR/><BR/>Look up 'The Legend Of Zelda Retrospective: Part 6' for a good timeline idea.<BR/><BR/>The end of OoT caused a split timeline, and Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, and Oracle of Ages are in the one where Zelda is alone, and Ganon is SEALED! The other is where Link relives his childhood- Majora's Mask and the rest.<BR/><BR/>And Ocarina of Time is not a steaming pile of shit. Even IGN gave it a very, very amazing title. <BR/><BR/>'The Greatest Game of All Time'<BR/><BR/>Holy. Anyways, play through the Cube or 64 version. Actually. Before you trash it like that. It was one of the best games out there for a VERY long time.<BR/><BR/>And rent/buy a cube and Wind Waker.<BR/><BR/>Sayonara,<BR/><BR/>Kitsuke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023151216705271100.post-16157776751729156082008-09-09T17:01:00.000-04:002008-09-09T17:01:00.000-04:00Well, as I've said, I've never played Wind Waker. ...Well, as I've said, I've never played Wind Waker. Never had a Cube. Ocarina of Time on the other hand, I did play that steaming pile of crap up until the first dungeon, though I'm willing to accept that it was held back by the technical limitations of the Nintendo 64. But the game's console aside, the 3D was very clumsy. You don't have to tell me, I know I'm in the minority in not liking the N64.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, so what you're saying is OoT and Majora's Mask are connected (I knew that) and WW connects to them. And of course Phantom Hourglass is a sequel to WW.<BR/><BR/>Great, but it still doesn't explain the vast differences between the good Zelda games and between those games and the new games. Even if there's just one that is not connected to the rest, my theory still holds. The fact that the series took a bit of a nose dive in the late 90s doesn't change that. So WW and PH are connected, OoT and MM are connected, WW references those two. There's still no relation to anything in OoT/PH in Link to the Past, Adventure of Link, or Legend of Zelda [1]. LoZ doesn't even have a castle (shown).<BR/><BR/>You may say my review was dumb, but I haven't heard many things dumber than a timeline that connects ALL the Zelda games. At least with Castlevania the timeline makes sense, since Konami has actually worked to establish a timeline, and (AFAIK) they don't use any Belmont (or other hero) twice.Dark Reality/Nate J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15304916225621184205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1023151216705271100.post-21598259059503496592008-09-09T14:46:00.000-04:002008-09-09T14:46:00.000-04:00This has to be one of the dumbest reviews I have e...This has to be one of the dumbest reviews I have ever read. It clearly even states in Wind Waker that it took place 100 years after a flooding of a land named Hyrule where as there was a hero who wore green but he failed to stop ganondorf in flooding the entire land. And the Link isnt the same Link as in OOC or MM because he's known as the hero of winds not time, and the only reason he wears the green garments is because its custom to clothe boys with it when they come to a certain age in his home island. How can you judge the timeline if you have never even played Wind Waker, there is even a bit where Link goes underwater to the exact same Hyrule Castle and surroundings as in Ocarina of Time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
