Gaming Do we finally know the truth about BOTW

[ShadowOne333]

I understand why you say this is total bullshit
Just by seeing Hyrule Warrior in it
It's already confirmed by ninty that this game is a spin off and not part of the timeline

Considering Hyrule Warriors as part of the main series is like saying Wand of Gamelon, Faces of Evil and Zelda's Adventure should be part of the main series too.

actually no, nintendo'S producer confirmed (idk where exactly) that Hyrule Warrior wasn't part of the main series, was a spin off, and shouldnt appear in the timeline

Yeah that's my point
It's a spinoff and is not considered canon (if there's such a thing for Zelda)

The fact that nobody can agree on this retarded timeline says it all.

The only thing up for debate is the placement of Breath of the Wild. The rest is pretty clear.

It's dumb as fuck is what it is.

What's wrong with the timeline?

 

[TotalInsanity4]

Breath of the Wild probably takes place at the end of the Child Timeline after Twilight Princess and Four Sword Adventures, but we still don't know for sure. Most polls done on the topic show that the Child Timeline is the most popular view, and there's a lot of good evidence for it.

It could be the Fallen Hero Timeline, but that Game Theory video demonstrates a misunderstanding of the Zelda timeline and shouldn't be taken seriously. It makes a lot of mistakes, and many of the pieces of evidence the video brings up were debunked long ago.

It could technically be the Adult Timeline, but game developers have stated that it has no connection to The Wind Waker, so probably not. The ending to Wind Waker also wouldn't make much since if Breath of the Wild takes place in the Adult Timeline.

May I ask what the solid evidence for Child Timeline is?

First, I didn't say there was solid evidence. I said we don't know for sure. Second, see my later post on the subject:

While far from definitive, here are the top reasons to think Breath of the Wild takes place in the Child Timeline:

1. Princess Zelda mentions, in order, Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, and Twilight Princess as the history of the Master Sword. There are variations in the different localizations regarding the off-screen audio only, but the opening part of the speech, with text, is consistent across localizations. In the English localization of off-screen audio, for example, the alleged reference to A Link to the Past and The Wind Waker goes something like "across the seas of space and time," which isn't actually a direct reference to anything.
2. In the summer DLC pack, it includes an in-game story about the thief Misko explicitly stealing, among other things, a replica of the helmet Midna wore that the royal family gathered in an attempt to collect artifacts significant to the history of Hyrule. The canonicity of the DLC pack is questionable, but if this isn't canon, neither is the in-game story content of the winter DLC pack.
3. As of Ocarina of Time, the Gorons lived on Death Mountain, and the Zora lived in Zora's Domain. In the Adult Timeline, Hyrule is flooded. The Gorons become traveling merchants, and the Zora evolve into the Rito. In the Fallen Hero Timeline, the Gorons and the Zora are displaced from Hyrule entirely, if not killed off. In Breath of the Wild, the Zora still live in Zora's Domain, and the Gorons still live at Death Mountain. It's possible they could have returned later in the Fallen Timeline, but that requires a lot of mental gymnastics, and the simplest option is Breath of the Wild takes place in the Child Timeline.
4. The Gorons have various Gorons important to Goron history carved into a Death Mountain rock face. One is Darunia from Ocarina of Time, and one is Gor Coron from Twilight Princess.
5. There appear to be various landmarks from Twilight Princess present in Breath of the Wild. To name a few, Hyrule Castle is clearly the design from Twilight Princess, the Goron Mines from Twilight Princess are present, and the Great Bridge of Hylia from Twilight Princess is present.

I'm not aware of any real reason to think Breath of the Wild takes place in the Fallen Hero Timeline, and the only real reason I can think of to think it might take place in the Adult Timeline is the presence of the Rito and the Koroks.

The Memory #1: Subdued Memory (part of the Main Quest) explicitly mentions Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess as previous heroes in ALL languages.

Any other a-hole claiming it says something about "the seas" in another language is plain illiterate in all honesty, I have verified all languages in the game and their text, and they always mention those three.

That's a pretty solid evidence to start with.
There is more, and I can go on for a while but I don't want to write as much using the touch keyboard on the Wii U Gamepad

The alleged references to other games like A Link to the Past and Wind Waker occur in other parts of the speech. However, they're vague, inconsistent, and sometimes figurative (like in the English version). They're also in parts of the speech that usually cannot be heard and don't have text accompanying the speech.

If there are, they're minimal, but you cannot get more in the nose like that part.

Ok lemme do this quick,

1. Legendary sountrack? Nope
2. Awesome dungeons? Nope
3. Ocarina? Nope
4. Weapons that break after killing 2 enemies? Yes
5. More a collecting game, than a adventure game? Yes

Still worth the "9.7"?

Finally a sane person. Games a pile of shit. Generic open world game with nothing interesting going on. Don't forget how garbage the story is too.

If you don't get feels whenever a memory involving either Zelda or Mipha is triggered, you're playing the game wrong

Voice acting killed any feels.

Zelda sounds funny when she gets mad. She doesn't even sound mad. She sounds like someone doing a comedy skit. Not believable acting.
Mipha, well Mipha's delivery was bad. She has this weird unnatural high pitched/soft voice. Actress didn't pull off the soft shy reserved person right.

I can understand where you'r coming from. Mipha sounded fine to me, but Zelda's accent sounded really fake

The story is terrible, Zelda just whines about her daddy issues and how she wants to study robots. One of the worst most unlikable characters ever written. Mipha is literally a piece of wood.

Just cause ya don't like game doesn't mean you have to push that view on us.

 

[grossaffe]

Just cause ya don't like game doesn't mean you have to push that view on us.

Since when did having a different opinion constitute as pushing that view on others? He said it was a 7, someone else "corrected" him saying it was a 9.7. He explained why he believed it to be a 7 and that's pushing his views on you?
