You're right... Didn't Link yet again stick the Master Sword in his head on Wind Waker? But that time, he turned into a stone statue under a preserved, ancient city 20,000 feet below sea level.
Wouldn't it really be a twist on the storyline if Ganon finally realises that this brat will always beat the crap out of him every time he tries to destroy/take over the world, no matter how kiddy and cell-shaded, 16 bitted, or realistic he looks? Cause then he'd either give up, find a nice condo and live with a cat named Sniffles, or join the good side.
I had a timeline post???
And there's wasn't any info on where TP comes in the Zelda chronolgy.
im interested...
ganondorf will survive that... hes not dead whatever you say.
A number of rumors about the game were confirmed at E? 2005. The official title, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was announced. (The title was actually first revealed in a pre-E? scan from Game Informer.[4][5]) It was explained that Link would transform into a wolf when entering the “Twilight Realm”, a mysterious void that has ensnared Hyrule.[6]
It was confirmed that the game falls chronologically “decades after Ocarina of Time,” but a long time before The Wind Waker, and that “the hero in the adventure is an all-new Link”.[7] Interviews and a playable demo exposed many new details, such as Link beginning the game as a sort of shepherd or ranch hand, Link battling on horseback, changes in the horse controls from OoT, thematic differences between dungeons, and so on.[8] Live feeds of this demo have also been published.
In recent interviews in Nintendo Power, Electronic Gaming Monthly, and the Spanish magazine Hobby Consolas, director Eiji Aonuma revealed that Princess Zelda and Ganon will be returning.[9] What their roles are is unknown, but the new character art shows Princess Zelda with a thin rapier-like sword, leading many fans to theorize that she will fight at some point, or at the very least defend herself. Nintendo has not been forthcoming as to whether or not the Master Sword will be featured in the game, but recently released official artwork seems to suggest it. Many even speculate that Nintendo's new character who appears to Link in the Twilight, Midna, is even Zelda herself. [6]
In the March issue of Nintendo Power, developer Yoshiyuki Oyama is quoted as saying, “I know that everyone’s wondering what going on with Link’s old nemesis. All I can say now is, we’re preparing more than you could possibly ever, ever, ever, expect... and to stay tuned for more details.”[9]
Aonuma has also stated that the game will be much larger in size than The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and will have more dungeons than any of the other Zelda games.[10] Two of them, from the two E3 demo's, have shown us the Forest Temple and the Goron Mines and another two have been shown barely in 2 trailers. He revealed that Link can communicate with animals when in wolf form, but did not elaborate on this. When transformed into a wolf, Link’s senses (smell, sight, and hearing) will also be raised quite significantly.[11] With these abilities come some disadvantages. While he is a wolf, Link cannot use any of his items. Aonuma also confirmed that there will not be extensive voice acting in the game. However, characters will still grunt, laugh, scream, and make other such noises, just as they have in all LoZ games on the Nintendo 64 and Nintendo GameCube.[i][i]
I still think it's just a easy marketting scheme. Write one good story, keep remaking it on new systems, MAKE CASH.
I guess the only way they could make it fit is if right after completeing the game, the flood would start.
So the only way to properly make this fit in the storyline is make Link lose or have him locked in the Twilight Realm, because if he wins then why wouldn't they mention him in the story?
Forgetting about the Phantom Hourglass?
edit
Nervermind... It's not even out yet. But what about it? I haven't really been able to come up with a solution just from the plot, but it sounds like my idea doesn't mess with Phantom Hourglass.
Seems like that to me too since PH comes directly after Wind Waker. And since TP is put after OoT and before WW then PH should be a non-issue.
