    Yeah I always thought that the zelda timeline was supposed to be a... fluid one. Like, connected but not like, in the way that continuity is ever an issue.

    creating a timeline more rigid than "that's far in the past and that's far in the future" seems really stupid

    I feel like it's more cyclical in nature. The first time Ganon and Link fought, Ganon cursed everyone with the triforce of power so that no one could ever win.

    Or, the three goddesses locked them in battle for all eternity, because there cannot be light without darkness. It's sort of like they're failsafe to keep the triforce out of harm's way. Then they created the soul for the hero of time, so that someone would have more power than the evil and light would always triumph, and gave that person the power of time travel with the master sword.

    yeah, and then it's just like, this cycle is long before the others. this one is long after. These other ones are maybe sort of around the same time kinda.

    Yup, you can kind of get a general feel for which one took place when in the timeline but there's no need to directly link them.
    I'm not sorry.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    Also placing the NES games on any timeline was dumb.

    There is no context at all in those games. They're just Link hero; Zelda princess; Ganon baddy.

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    The instruction books had a surprising amount of story in them for NES games, but yeah, timeline wonkiness didn't start until LttP, so it's weird to include the originals in it.

    I don't know, but a guy with bad hair and a skintight black spandex suit is looking for Zelda.

    i meant to just write my sister's name on the envelope of her birthday card in big block letters. But the sharpie slipped and I made some out of bound smudges. So I uh...went a little overboard...

    i think star wars is enough of a cultural staple that it's not applicable

    even if you don't watch star wars you're still hearing about it all the time

    the same can't be said for MGS
