Gaming Who is the father of Links

[Ryu]

[color=red][I]Who was he and what happened to him[/i][/color]

[Navi]

Which Link? I take it you mean the Link from OoT and MM? Well...it's never said, but [i]I[/i] think maybe his father is the king of Hyrule and Zelda is his sister...=P. You pretty much have to come up with your own theories.

[Break]

[SIZE=1]Yeah, I also think that his father is the king, and that his sister is Zelda. It is a popular theory really...[/SIZE]

[Guest maverick]

while she was shoping for bananas when I saw her I tought
I wanted some of the *****
and it happen

[Kuja]

[SIZE=3][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]well u wont be posting anymore crap like that...

it depends on the game... in some him and zelda are seen 'in love' so well yea[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

[Guest Matt]

i don't think that he and zelda are bro and sis. that means in the games where they are kinda in love it's kinda nasty if they are.

[Desbreko]

[color=indigo]Personally, I don't think that Link and Zelda are related at all... Mainly because in Ocarina of Time, it says that Link's parents brought him to Kokiri Forest to keep him safe. If Link's parents were the King and Queen of Hyrule, wouldn't they have also left Zelda in the Kokiri Forest, along with Link? And I'm pretty sure it also says that Link's parents died... In that case, Link and Zelda couldn't be brother and sister, because if they were, then the King of Hyrule would be dead... And Link would be the King...

On the other hand, there is this from A Link to the Past:[/color]

[Angelus_Necare]

That would be total incest! it would also be like the star wars between luke and leia (however you may spell her name....)

[[SG]Bo|]

Hmmm.... Nobody know about his father though but it is sure that the king and zelda are not related to him, except that zelda and link are actually in love with each other. Link was summoned to help island that were invaded by the evil forces, and also that his father did that long before him too.

[Nerdsy]

[COLOR=deeppink]In my own warped theories, I say that the father of Link is none other than...


Link!

You see, the only way I can explain the fact that so many Links are around saving Hyrule (and the fact the Impa looks totaly different from game to game) is that there is a family, and every boy is named Link. Probably after the first Link, who might have made some sort of great sacrifices and people want him to be remembered.


Same goes with Zelda. I haven't played Zelda 2, but I heard the entire plot is about awakening the original Zelda...


Also, Goudy, that part drives me nuts! They tease me with something that might prove interesting, but they never finish what it could be! His uncle doesn't even tell him after he returns from the dead! (Or injury, whatever you like)[/COLOR]

[Desbreko]

[color=indigo]I think I'll tell the history of the Zelda games, as I think they're ordered. [url]www.zelda.com[/url] doesn't quite agree with me on this, though... Particularly about when Link's Awakening takes place.

[size=3][b]Warning! Possible spoilers![/b][/size]

The series starts out with Ocarina of Time, with Link just a boy. He and the Seven Sages trap Ganon in the Sacred Realm. The Zelda in OOT is the first Princess Zelda.

About a month or so after Link's adventure in OOT, Majora's Mask happens. He follows the Skull Kid into Termina, an alternate universe, and plays with the flow of time there. When he gets back from Termina, several hundred years have passed in Hyrule (this may have something to do with Link playing with the flow of time in Termina, or that maybe time flows differently in Termina than it does in Hyrule).

Link stays with his "uncle" for awhile, until the events in A Link to the Past happen. The Zelda in LTP is the second Princess Zelda. After Link defeats Ganon and seals him back in the Sacred Realm, or the Dark World, as it has become known as, he takes a "vacation", a trip on which he can relax and think things over.

Of course, Link and vacations don't mix well. His ship gets caught by a storm out at sea, on the return trip back to Hyrule, and he wakes up on Koholint Island. The events in Link's Awakening happen, and he gets back to Hyrule after waking the Wind Fish.

When he gets back to Hyrule, he finds the land overrun by monsters. Ganon has broken out of the Sacred Realm again, and has captured Zelda (this is the same Zelda from A Link to the Past). Just before Zelda was captured, she split the Triforce of Wisdom into eight pieces, and she sends out Impa to find someone to recover the eight pieces of the Triforce of Wisdom, and defeat Ganon. Impa finds Link, and the events in The Legend of Zelda happen. He recovers the Triforce of Wisdom, and seals Ganon back in the Sacred Realm.

After the events in The Legend of Zelda, there is peace in Hyrule, and Link is the keeper of the Triforce. But, one day when Link is standing in front of the Triforce, it sends him to two other alternate universes, both of which are in need. The events in Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons happen, and Link stops Twinrova from bringing Ganon Back to Hyrule.

When all that is over, Link gets back and discovers that Princess Zelda (yes, the same Zelda from A Link to the Past) has been put under a spell of sleep. The events in The Adventure of Link happen, and Link wakes Princess Zelda.[/color]

[SIZE=3][FONT=century gothic][COLOR=crimson]i agree with all of that, except the part about Links Awakening.
Y? because it was all a dream and would make since to go inbetween Oot and (drum roll please) Oot.
Well between Young Link and Link, Something had to be on his mind during that dream.
Plus that would explain the Ocarina which he likes so much ;), as well as Marin being so like Zelda except a little cooler ;)
but the rest makes since, somewhat lol.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

[COLOR=deeppink]I have had the [i]exact[/i] same theory for a while, but everytime I said it, I got flamed. -.- I'm glad somebody actually agrees with me.

I mean come on, how could it not be like that? Malon and Talon= Marin and Tarin. Kapora Gabora(sp?). They're so much alike... It's scary.[/COLOR]

[Guest Shift]

[COLOR=blue]I don't think that link has a known dad so just mke one up...[/COLOR]

[color=indigo]No, the whole thing wasn't a dream. The [i]island[/i] was a dream. In the ending it showes Link floating in the ocean, sitting on a piece of wood. If it had [i]all[/i] been a dream, he would've just woken up.[/color]

[bignatedawg]

I think that links father is zelda's uncle.
Give me a second to explain.

At the begining of A link to the past, Link's Father goes off to save his niece (Zelda), after his brother (the King) was overthrown by the evil wizard Agahnim.

When Link is called upon by zelda telpathicaly, he goes to the castle and finds his father dieing in the basement. Links Father starts to say that Zelda is links............, and dies before he can finish.

I think he was trying to say that Zelda is his cousin and that he has to save her from the wizard, but neither Link or Zelda knew of their relation.

It might not make much sense to you, but everyone has there own theory and this is mine.

:)

[Desbreko]

[color=indigo]There's a flaw in your theory... At the start of A Link to the Past, that's Link's uncle that goes off to try and save Princess Zelda. Take a look at this screen shot from the ending sequence in the game:[/color]

erm.....a close childhood friend perhaps? :drunk:

it appears to me that some of the zelda adventures have basically different timelines set out in alternate universes....or something :smooch:

How could I not remember that. :confused:
It must have bean a long time since I beat that game.
A [I]really [/I] long time.

I'll try to work on my theory some more.

[color=indigo]The reason for this, is because almost every new Zelda game is set before the last one... Which makes for some adjusting of the story, and that makes it so it doesn't quite fit with the older games.

I'm just wondering when the next Zelda game will be set, since it can't get any farther back than Ocarina of Time. Perhaps it will be set after all of the others?
I [i]really[/i] want to know what happens after Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. What happens after Link wakes up Zelda? Take a look at the game over screen (see attachment). If we go by my theory, then Ganon couldn't have deen destroyed in Oracle of Ages/Seasons, but just kept sealed. I'm wondering if Ganon does return, somehow, after The Adventure of Link and that the game is about that.
Since Link and Zelda have the Triforce (as shown in the opening cinema in Oracle of Ages/Seasons), maybe you'll actually get to use it to fight Ganon? I think that would be really cool. You could have a lot more magic, like in The Adventure of Link, using the Triforce.

I can really ramble on, when it comes to the story, can't I? :D[/color]

[color=teal]Hmmmmm this is severly screwing with my mind so Link i infact about 600 years old then how is Impa still alive when Sheik said that she was the last of the shiekah ohhh my head[/color]

[James]

[color=royalblue]I think you will find that none of the games relate to each other, much like the Final Fantasy series.

Zelda is about gameplay, not story.

So therefore, whenever I play a new Zelda...I notice that the stories often seem to contradict one another. That is, they don't flow in a continuous (or even deliberate) pattern.

I believe that each game is a reinterpretation of the Zelda universe in some way...sometimes being a "what if" scenario...or sometimes being a loose sequel (like Majora's Mask).[/color]

[Desbreko]

[color=indigo]My theory about Impa is that, just like Zelda, there were two Impas. Perhaps the nurse of the later Princess Zelda (the one in A Link to the Past, and onward) was also named after the Impa in Ocarina of Time. This kind of makes sense, since the later Zelda was named after the Zelda in Ocarina of Time, the Seventh Sage. Impa was the Sage of Shadow, so maybe the later nurses were also named Impa, in honor of the Sage of Shadow. Just like the later princesses were named after the original Princess Zelda, the Seventh Sage.

If you look at the artwork of Impa from Ocarina of Time, you'll see that she looks a lot different than the artwork of Impa from The Legend of Zelda, and Oracle of Ages/Seasons. And, the artwork of Impa from The Legend of Zelda and Oracle of Ages/Seasons look similar.
This supports my theory that there were two Impas, and that The Legend of Zelda and Oracle of Ages/Seasons are set very close to each other.[/color]

[Gavin]

[color=teal]Hmm I agree with who ever said that they're probably set in differant universes because it makes more sense than they're all set in the same universe[/color]
