The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Discussion

Huh, grammar.

[mikey]

Would if there was one big event far in the future and right before BotW that actually brings all the timelines together and this game is not apart of any separate timeline?

at this point it's almost impossible to reconcile the timelines

This somehow came into existence: https://youtu.be/1Vwoth8kmTA

Sorry, I didn't mean to..

After listening to the trailer theme again, I decided that I really love the little "blip" partway through the song; it creates a sense that, despite the vast beauty of the land around you, conveyed very expressively through the music, something is still wrong with the world.

Here comes today's interesting tidbit.

This is DS's arrangement.

WE'RE FAMOUS

That's awesome!

[DS]

Oh hey wouldya lookat that 0_o

Interestingly though, Mariovehrer also put out my Trailer Theme piano cover a while before this (with a conspicuous thumbnail with the LOZ BOTW logo on it), strange that ZI only noticed this derpy song. Guess I can't complain tho

I'm surprised this topic hasn't been posted in for a long time!
I just got BotW for my Wii U and started my "No Game Over Run" of it (I know, good luck with that xD).
Anyways, needless to say, got my first game over in the first half hour!
Darn those towers...

Also, without spoilers (in other words, without mentioning the story), does anyone know if there's any idea where this game falls in the timeline?
I've been dying to know!

Good luck to everyone else playing!

[mikey]

it's either not canon or after AoL

[Dudeman]

I've heard rumors that it's at the end of the Child timeline, but since I don't have the game yet, I'm staying well clear of any investigation.

[mikey]

that rumor stems from a single line zelda says in a flashback

Spoiler

referencing the twilight

[close]

but since ganondorf isn't really involved heavily in the child timeline I'm loathe to say it could fit there, especially since BotW mentions ganon being reincarnated multiple times already.

[Dudeman]

What's your reasoning for BotW being non-canon? I highly doubt Nintendo would decide that such a significant game with such a big story to it wouldn't fall on their officially-sanctioned timeline. They want to appease the fans.

[mikey]

BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FIT

Spoiler

10,000 YEARS AGO WE BATTLED GANON AND MADE ALL THESE STATUES
so it at least has to happen 10,000 years after any of the games...
