    Just for the record, did you work on the lore to Hunters by chance? I know Retro Studios came up with the hunters, whilst a Canadian team were behind all the gameplay. The reason I ask is because for the longest time I've been of the opinion Retro constructed an expansive backstory to Sylux, of which what's been shown

    Everything Aonuma says pertaining to Zelda is errata or a straight up lie..

    There were no plotholes in Zelda until he started digging them. Even now, if you just ignore every word from his mouth (Hyrule Historia included) and the advent of this FOURTH sequel to ALttP there still aren't. If... that is.

    What good single-player games are there for the DS barring Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, TWEWY, EBA/Ouendan games, Ace Attorney trilogy, and Castlevania DoS and OoE? Those are the only ones in memory I liked. Almost all Nintendo's first-party games seemed to suck on it. I much preferred the GBA library to the DS's.

    neat.

    I dislike what this thing is doing to the Zelda series by promoting that false third timeline and creating a schism of misinformation and trust for the canon.

    No I wasn't. I did browse there once or twice just before Nintendo shut it down though.

    On one of the first pages in Hyrule Historia, there's a section where Miyamoto puts in his two cents and reveals that fact, along with Impa being the true intended guardian of the Triforce of Power and such.

    In Zelda II it's kind of a running point with the original game though, where only Ganon's ashes are left behind and you even see them again at the end screen. Lots of games then had a little cue like "You LOST. Now X Happens/is Doomed/Wins." Also, if you take the context of the first 4 games by themselves just like

    Actually you're right about it making sense, at least from a logistical linear perspective. It still violates the canon and I don't see any impetus for a third split, but when you're right you're right. Sorry bro. I didn't realize it until I was explaining it to my Doctor Who friend who asked what I was talking about.

    1. Yes, Shogakukan published it. Thank you for repeating what I said. That's why it's not official, hence the initial point. You can't change the goal post when something refutes what you brought up. It was made by them for commemorative purposes just like all the other things they make for other series in Japan.

    Says Miyamoto like I'm reiterating. And everything else in the 2D series that conflicts with the Ganon from ALttP being the same one who attempts to sequester it in OoT.

    1. I'm not referring to Dark Horse. I'm referring to its original publisher, Shogakukan. It was never published by Nintendo. And what did I just try to say? Aonuma is not a credible source. Yoshiaki Koizumi, Miyamoto, and the scriptwriters from the veteran EAD Tokyo and defunct Flagship before the TP scandal happened

    It's not published by Nintendo. It's published by a third party. And that's just what he says because he doesn't follow the story or lore for the series that gives him a job. You can tell by how he thought nobody knew King Zora's name even though it's in the Japanese version and the manga, and how the book claims the

    Because it's a disgrace to narrative etiquette and renders a ton of illogical plotholes.

    It's true. There's a disclaimer at the end telling you it's all liable to change. The truth is that it's because it's only backed by Aonuma who is kept ignorant of the story/lore in Zelda, either because he doesn't understand it or because Miyamoto/Koizumi don't have the time to sit down and spell it out word for word.

    No. Supposedly there was to be a missing dungeon because in the debug mode there's of an empty zone filled with beta devices for measuring distances. The myth gained traction because realistic water was also found in it and a remix of Zora's Domain also lies in the game (which actually plays in Jabun's cave if you

    No, there's something definitely unfitting.

    I'm saying it's different for every person. And 7 is just too young for someone who doesn't yet understand puberty to make a verdict denying everything out there to learn about. And wait, who said I was a Christian from the beginning? Or that I even knew the scope of the Abrahamic religions before I entered high

    I'm saying it takes more effort to be an atheist than someone of religion, because an atheist must ignore an entire world of information and history to truly subscribe to the view that it's all a myth. I thought it was pretty clear-cut.
