[B][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] [/B][/QUOTE]
[color=indigo]Majora's Mask and Oracle of Ages/Seasons are set in parallel universes... But for the other games, I think that they're all set in the same universe. What are the odds that there's going to be a land named Hyrule, and each one has a person named Link and Ganon, and there's a Master Sword (okay, so it was the Magical Sword in the first one, but close enough) that Link uses to defeat Ganon? And besides, it tells of events that happen in Ocarina of Time, in A Link to the Past. So obviously, those two are set in the same universe.

I think it's too easy to just say that they're all completely different, like the Final Fantasy games... There's a continuing story, you just have to search for some of it.[/color]

[color=teal][ Yeah I suppose your right i don't really know alot abput Zelda since i only own the OOT on the N64[/COLOR]

[zelda's hero]

ok, i have to go with jcgoudy. i do think (because otherwise it's such a huge freakin coincidence) that [I]most[/I] of the zelda games flow together in one continuous story line. there are just too damn many things that fit together so perfectly. also, my theory is, is that zelda's dad is one of the gods. this would explain why there are so many loose ends about zelda's geneology. but, i'd like to hear things that can improve my theory.

[color=indigo]Gods? There aren't any gods... There are the Three Goddesses, Din, Farore, and Nayru. They created the world, and made the Triforce.

Oh, and wouldn't it be easier to put the stuff at the bottom of your post in your signature? Instead of adding it to every post, which gets annoying...[/color]

[zelda's hero]

ok, i know that last theory was a bit screwed up...but here's another one.

i believe that in that one zelda, where link finds the guy in the basement of the castle...i believe he's just a really good friend of the family, possibly a guardian that was set to keep link and zelda safe for awhile. ganon shows up, and when the guardian learns that zelda is in trouble..goes off to try and save her. (this is where link comes in) link finds the old guy down in the basement, and before he can say much anything important (this is the part that sux so much) he dies. now, what is interesting to me is...in all the games before OOT he was never kept safe in the kokiri villiage. this of course weirding out the whole line of zelda's. this has to prove that the dying guy in the basement of the castle cannot be links father, but most likely a guardian.:toothy: hey jcgoudy, feel free to help me out here:whoops:

[I]If that is the same thing as an uncle the sure. Like JC already posted it say's at the end of the game that he is your uncle. [/I]

[I]This is because OOT is the start of the Zelda timeline. After he leaves the village and learns that he is not a koroki he has no reason to live there anymore.[/I]

[Desbreko]

[color=indigo]Defcon is pretty much right, here. It does say that the guy that leaves to rescue Zelda (and then you find him in the secret passage leading into Hyrule Castle) at the start of A Link to the Past is Link's uncle, at the end of the game. However, if the story that Zelda.com says is true, Link's uncle (if he ever had one) would be long dead.
On Zelda.com it says that when Link was in Termina (during Majora's Mask), many years passed in Hyrule. This could have been because Termina was a parrallel universe, or maybe because Link messed with the flow of time so much in Termina, that something got messed up. Either way, if some 100 years or more [i]did[/i] pass in Hyrule, then obviously Link wouldn't have an uncle still living.
This is one of those unexplained loose ends... We can only guess who that guy is, since, if Zelda.com is to be believed, he could not have been Link's uncle. Your guess is as good as mine.
He does not die, however. It shows him at the end of the game, very much alive. I posted a screen shot of it, earlier in this thread.

Defcon is also correct about Ocarina of Time being the [i]real[/i] first game in the series; it is set before all of the other Zelda games. Again, if Zelda.com is to be believed, Link would have lived somewhere else after he got back from Termina. It's my guess that, since the Kokiri don't appear in A Link to the Past, they left the land of Hyrule and went somewhere else, while Link was in Termina. This would have left Link homeless, so he found somewhere else to live.
It's a good guess, as to that guy being a guardian. Link would still only be about 10 years old, so someone might have taken him in or something. Maybe he kind of got adopted, and the guy kind of became his uncle? That'd be my guess, as to why the game says he's Link's uncle.[/color]

Yeah mabye it's his adoptive parents brother.

[WaruShadow]

There's a misconception here about OoT.
The Deku Tree had said that a mother and her baby boy had left Hyrule during a tremendous war. The mother was mortally wounded, and left the boy in the forest. Nothing was said of the dad.
Notice Zelda only has a dad with her.
Only Link was taken away because he was to be the next King and he could not afford to be killed.
Also, the song of the Royal Family. Only members of the Royal Family and their "inner circle" can learn it. Link does, therefore he is royalty...or part of the "inner circle". I prefer the first.
Finally, the adopted name "Link". As in a link to something or other...such as the royal family, Zelda, the Triforce, etc.

[Desbreko]

[color=indigo]Good theory... But, I think that Link was taught Zelda's Lullaby because he needed to prove he was on royal business (such as playing it to gain entrance to Zora's Domain). Impa knew that without it, Link wouldn't be able to collect the other two Spiritual Stones.

Personally, I don't think Link and Zelda are related. Like I've said before, wouldn't Zelda have been taken to Kokiri forest also? It doesn't make sense that the mother would only leave one of her children, and risk the other one being killed. It's just not logical.[/color]

[WaruShadow]

-stretching here to make my theory fit, although it is, after all, just a theory-I'm not trying to cause problems-
Perhaps the mother was unable to rescue Zelda at the same time she ran off with Link during the war (the fact that she was gravely wounded meant she didn't have much time to do what was needed to be done). If she had a choice between which one to save, it would have to be Link.
Thus runs my theory, anyhow.

[slasher]

I dont think link has a dad.he has two moms!:laugh: :eek: :therock:

not really. i have no clue who his pops was

and a links awaking, ithink it gos between oracle of ages and seasons.Why? because lik gets [I]on a boat.[/I] then he gets hit by the storm and blah blah blah.......

[color=indigo]Umm... why would that make it go between Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons?[/color]

[quote][i]The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX instruction booklet[/i]
[b]Though you fulfilled the Hyrulian prophecy of the Legendary Hero and destroyed the evil tyrant Ganon, the land of Hyrule enjoyed only a precarious peace. "Who knows what threats may arise from Ganon's ashes?" the restless people murmured as they knitted their brows and shook their heads. Ever vigilant, you decide to journey away from Hyrule on a quest for enlightenment, in search of wisdom that would make you better able to withstand the next threat to your homeland.[/b][/quote]
[color=indigo]Looking at this, it's obvious that Link's Awekening is set after one of the games in which Link defeats Ganon in Hyrule. Those are Ocarina of Time, A Link to the Past, and The Legend of Zelda. It can't be after Ocarina of Time since Majora's Mask is set only about a month after Ocarina of Time, and Link is still living in Kokiri Forest at the time. That leaves A Link to the Past, and The Legend of Zelda. It never says what happens right after either of these, so either one could be right. Like I've already said, I think it's set after A Link to the Past, but it's never actually said which.

It's also obvious that it couldn't be set in between or directly after the Oracle games. Yes, Link defeats Ganon in the Oracle games, but not in Hyrule. It clearly states that "Though you fulfilled the [b]Hyrulian prophecy[/b] of the Legendary Hero and destroyed the evil tyrant Ganon, the [b]land of Hyrule[/b] enjoyed only a precarious peace." This means that Link defeated Ganon in Hyrule, and returned peace to the land.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, and if anyone is confused about when to use "Hylian" and "Hyrulian," you use Hyrulian when referring to something from the land of Hyrule. You use Hylian when referring to the Hylian race of people that live in Hyrule. Like, when you refer to Link, you say that he's Hylian, because that's the race that he belongs to. If you're referring to the Master Sword, you'd say it's Hyrulian, because it's from the land of Hyrule.[/color]

[eleanor]

My theory? Well, it's quite simple to me. Some guy and girl met an BAM! they had Link. Maybe, Hyrule had a war or battle with another country, and maybe link's father was a knight and he died in battle. So Link's mom brought him to the Great Deku Tree probably knowing Link was the Hero of TIme because she could have had magically powers or somethin. So Link grows up in Kokiri forest never knowing who his parents were cuz he was too little to remember!

OH YEAH! and that part when Link's Uncle say
"Zelda is your....."
My friend did a little researching and found that really, in the JAPANESE version it said,
"Zelda is your destiny..."
SO THERE! ZELDA IS NOT LINK'S SISTER!!!!!!!! ~whew~
okay, I'm done here.

[coolmon]

O.K., just something you might find interesting.

Link To The Past is the last one, I believe.
Why?
Heres why.
[B]The kokiri became extinct as the lost woods grew[/B]
Link, in one of the other games(only played a few) must have moved the Master Sword in to the Lost Woods, which is where you find it!....:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

[Cecil]

About Links uncle in Link to the Past, I think it's possible that he could have died, because it says that the triforce makes the world in the holders heart come true (something like that). That why the dark world exists while Gannon has it. So link wants a perfect world and in that world his uncle exists so he was brought to life using the triforces power.

Ok now back to the subject I think Links (the one in OoT) dad was some kind of General or great knight during the war and was killed. His mother knowing he had some power hide him in Kokirki forest and the enemy's knew he had this power to so that's why she was wounded. I think Link's dad knew the king well or was good friends with him. My theory is kinda on a shacky foundation because the only thing I have to support this are his mothers wounds and the fact that Link is a hero and he got it genetically from his dad.

Somebody will probably blow this theory out of the water thouogh, but I think I got his uncle being dead right.

[Desbreko]

[color=indigo]Yes, I suppose Link's Uncle could have died... The Triforce grants the wishes of the person that touches it, but I don't know if it has the power to bring someone back to life. Possibly, since it never says anything very specific about the Triforce's powers. All it says it that it grants the wishes of the person that touches it, and never anything else... Nintendo should publish a book about the history of Zelda; then maybe some of these questions could be answered...

Oh, and DanC (imcuneo)... That post was complete spam... Didn't you read the rules when you signed up? I remember telling you to read them, and I remember you agreeing to read them... But anyway, I'm going to have to talk to you about spam the next time I see you...[/color]

[starlight]

my theory is that link and zelda are related and in order to keep them both safe they were separated. zelda became the princess and did the ruling dansel in distress thing, and link was the 1 raised elsewhere and became the hero so in other words i think they r related and theyll find that out hopefully soon.

so links not a kokiri? strange i played ootand it says nothing about his mom or him being ditched there or finding out what he really is.... ok now its official im lost explain to me when they explain to him what he is plz?

[Desbreko]

[color=indigo]If you played through OOT and didn't find out that Link isn't a Kokiri, you must not have been paying very much attention... The Young Deku Tree tells you that Link is actually a Hylian, after you beat the forest Temple. He also tells you that Link's mother brought him to the Forest during a great war, and left him in the care of the Great Deku Tree, in order to keep him safe.

Since you just posted a help thread about the Forest Temple, so I'm assuming that you're in the Forest Tempe, you'll be able to hear this for yourself soon enough. If this is your first time through OOT, then you wouldn't know that Link isn't a Kokiri. You first find out from the Young Deku Tree, who you meet after beating the forest Temple.[/color]

[starlight]

o I see what you mean yeah this is my first time through oot (and i just got to the forest temple grrr) so no wonder y im so lost
