Give me your theories about a shared fandom. Give me uses for zuchinis. Recommend a fandom. Recommend a recipe. Hell, give me your thoughts on yaoi. SOMETHING!

Soon I'll be to the point where I won't be squicked by accidentally seeing it anymore :P

I've found some forums that have reasonable discussions about timeline and have gotten solid theories down. Namely the one on GFAQs' Twilight Princess board. There's still about 4 variations they have there though...and the evidence in my view is just too much to go over when i haven't played half the games. Luckily...the game writers have started to put some of the pieces together for us by answering questions in interviews about the timeline.

And not only that...but in the one i'm playing..you juggle chickens!

[yubsie]

Won't that make everyone's life easier? :p

You mean to say the WRITERS have a clue how the timeline is supposed to work? Next you're going to tell me the Doctor Who people have the continuity under control! Or that Star Wars has continuity EDITORS! :p

OMG... that wins at life. The only way it could be better would be if they were GEESE!

[squallhighwind.livejournal.com]

I think they've just seen the discussion/flame wars over this :P

Plus...they don't leave gapping plotholes liek some OTHER game writers >_>

And that is JUSt what i thought as i finished posting last time :P

[yubsie]

So it's one of THOSE continuities? Where they try to patch it up with duct tape?

That's because Wash is awesome. And some people juggle geese. :p

[squallhighwind.livejournal.com]

Wash is awesome incarnate. 'nough said.

And not so much duct tape as leaving hints in the games to previous ones along with interviews. They actually started doing it when they made Link to the past for SNES, and then made Ocarina of time with hints of ALTTP in it. Plus...its not just one link doing these games...its pretty much a bloodline of guys with the same name and same looks throughout centuries of Hylian history. Its been stated on record that Minish Cap (forexample) was the first in the timeline. So if you piece together the evidence in the games, you get a prettty good idea of the flow of games. In fact...most people believe that the very first zelda game for the NES is one of the last ones in the timeline.

That makes sense; I've heard that too (that the first = the last in the timeline). I figure everything happens in a way prehistoric legendary time, and the cross on his shield connects him with actual human history. :P Or something Middle Earthish like that. ^_^'>

[yubsie]

Heh, that's quite something.

THough nothing beats attempts to make Final Fantasy games connect by putting them in a really BIZARRE orderlike thing. :p

[squallhighwind.livejournal.com]

Indeed. At least the Zelda games have a common planet.

[chibifrieza.livejournal.com]

O_o People do that?

[yubsie]

People scare me sometimes :p

[chibifrieza.livejournal.com]

Me too. And people call us weird.

[yubsie]

Yeah, really. :p
