Is Link One Character?

Anyone who doubts that there are multiple timelines, as well as multiple Links and Zeldas, either isn’t aware of canon or is more interested in their own interpretation of the Zelda universe than Nintendo’s.

always felt the "canon" was retconned, the series make more sense as standalone games.

no link gets it on with zelda and they have a son

claud34144d ago (Edited 4144d ago )

Link is a generational character... He is more than one character

Each new game is an installment of a new link from a new family line

TheFirstClassic4144d ago

Well not all of them. Majoras mask was the same as Ocarina of time, the ones or some of the ones on the gameboy were the same from Link to the Past, and the link in Zelda 2 was from Zelda 1.

8bitHero4144d ago

to this day i dont understand why its called the legend of zelda when its link doing all the muscle work.

kesvalk4144d ago

because "legend of link" doesn't sound as good.

8bitHero4144d ago

you say that now because you grew up with it called zelda however if from the beginning it was link you wouldnt think that.

kesvalk4144d ago

yeah of course, but you agree that legend of link is not a good name at all.

it's a marketing decision, like calling "god of the war" is worse than only "god of war".

also, Link is a common word, while Zelda is a exotic name, ppl will remember the name Zelda way easier than Link.

8bitHero4144d ago

actually i dont agree, i think it would be a better name because then it would actually make sense. besides if the name link is a common word then they shouldve never used it or changed it down the line. its like calling super mario 64 princess peach 64 or instead of mario galaxy rosalina galaxy. because afterall, they need savin and they're the main character, right? but w/e its not like its important, all im trying to say is that the name doesnt make any sense.

Lord_Sloth4144d ago

Because history only records the rulers and generals. Never the nameless soldiers who did most of the work.

Who cares Nintendo lost its touch!

Deku-Johnny4144d ago

Are you talking about a different Nintendo?

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno77d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

FinalFantasyFanatic108d ago

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon108d ago (Edited 108d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

anast108d ago

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul107d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.

Zelda Fan Brings Godzilla to Life in Tears of the Kingdom

A fan of The Legend of Zelda has recreated the iconic Japanese monster Godzilla in Tears of the Kingdom using the game's Zonai devices.

Knightofelemia145d ago

I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
