We know lol
Yeah I don’t think fans ever thought it was important or even a bad thing.
We’re just having fun trying to make it fit. But it’s for fun, not like we truly believe there really is a timeline that makes any sense.
I can assure you, some people care way too much for what it is lol. I’ve definitely seen anger about how TotK’s lore was a slight to the fans or whatever. It’s insane that anyone thinks a coherent series chronology is a thing but some people really want it to be true ig
There’ll always be extremes to communities. Just remember they’re not the average.
Ackshually I have in my hands a copy of the OFFICIAL hyrule historia, sir.
This is news? We knew this decades ago.
I always thought they were parallel universes or the same one on an endless time loop with infinite variations
I always thought it was reincarnation of a group of ideal, godlike people
I don’t think I’ve met a true Zelda fan that cares much about the grand timeline(s), or even argues they make sense
You are correct. The Hyrule Historia outlines the game and the split in Ocarina of Time:
A creator could see chronology as a limitation, or an opportunity.
The hero of time clearly did a lot in the time between MM and TP (where he appears as the Hero’s Shade). There’s an opportunity to create a game about the hero of time after MM, where he returns to Hyrule, and learns those special skills that he later passes on to the hero of twilight.
Or just come up with something new. Whatever.
No shit…
