this has been the sixth time we’ve retconned the imprisoning war for no reason and we have become exceedingly efficient at it

Very funny to do this then also go with making the zonai a super technologically advanced ancient civilisation for the second time in a row

They tried to do a dark history (of course not even remotely as cool) and then pivoted to “how can we make ocarina of time more racist”

nintendo moment

Counting Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and Age of Imprisonment, there are four games set in the BOTW era, and only two of them (Imprisonment and TOTK) directly connect.

And zelda was busy killing one million guys off screen

i feel like it was really where the zelda lore dream died for so many people lol. i subscribe to a youtuber who was talking about how excited he was to do lore videos before the game came out and then once he played it he was "i don't care about zelda lore anymore because nintendo sure doesn't"

I want to see someone try and make Link from Hulu's Paradise tv show fit into the Zelda time line now. IYKYK

This is a real ass take I respect it

It is SO funny

I am the kind of person that really enjoys the timeline stuff (both the Literal History and BotW's approach) so TotK was very annoying from this angle.

Clicked on one Link to the Past and now his inbox is filled with time travelware

I really did love the notion of all the branching timelines having collapsed into one single path, like some sort of entropic collapse, and the passage of time smoothing down all the mismatched pieces til it was impossible to see the seams. Probably cooler in my head than the reality ever would be.

I can't even believe that there's still people making Zelda Timeline videos, I thought that species of YouTuber went extinct in 2011

botw was the game that invested a lot of people in zelda lore TOTK was the game that made all those people give up on the zelda lore.

Ocarina of Time: So, Link looks like Peter Pan because that’s just normal Kokiri garb Minish Cap: Actually, that’s a coincidence. But did you know his hat used to be a guy? Skyward Sword: Actually, that’s a coincidence. But did you know his sword used to be a girl?
