  Me playing Zelda: “I don’t understand the timeline and would really like some context” <br>Me playing mario: “ah yes, Mario returns from space to traverse the land of talking magical hats. No explanation needed!”

  I love that Demise cursed the cycle to include Link,Zelda, and Hatred and then Impa and Beetle happen to tag along

  I like the idea that BOTW is so far away into the future that all timelines are like a myth / legend. I makes me think that at some point some event happened that caused the merge of all timelines into one (probably the 1st calamity Gannon appeared 10k years ago) and then all the story told in BOTW happens.

  Small correction: Ganon is NOT reincarnated in twilight princess, he is the same person from ocarina of time after his execution

  I like to think the concept of Zelda is just that, a legend. A series of stories that all share common threads but differ by each storyteller’s perspective

  So for those keeping track, the original Ganon/dorf appears in Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and A Link to the Past. He has a pretty good run all things considered.

  I don’t know what is it about it, but the Zelda timeline fascinates me so much.

  I really liked how Botw includes so many references, names, in-game myths, and stories from past games across the timelines

  BotW is what The Elder Scrolls would call a Dragon Break; a point in time at which all alternate histories collapse on each other and every possible past becomes simultaneously true.

  In true Zelda fashion, you need a sequel to this video that is a prequel to this video that retcons this video

  A 3-player Zelda game where you can play as the 3 different Links from each timeline and you&apos;re tasked with saving timelines from collapse. At the end of the game, the Links fuse the timelines together into the Breath of the Wild timeline.
