What the theory for why in The Legend of Zelda era, Hyrule is a desert wasteland with dead trees, infested rivers, monsters EVERYWHERE and the last surviving humans/Hylians hiding in caves?
It always felt a bit post-apocalyptic to me.
.
It has been quite a while since I've played it though, it should really be on my replay list.

I really liked it and the real-time time-travel was very well implemented. There was something (minor spoiler)Boney said:
very satisfying about discovering the ruins of a village, going back in time, saving it from destruction, and then going back to the future and buying things from its unique shop

Dungeon: Snowpeak Ruins
Boss: Ganon (TWW)
Nintendo better start releasing Ages and Seasons on the 3DS VC soon! I never got the chance to finish OoA and I've lost my copy of seasons along with my GBA 
I want to replay them so bad...
Anyway :
Favorite game: Link's Awakening (the ending made me really sad )
Favorite dungeon: SnowPeak Ruins
Favorite bosses: (hmm hard to pick one) I'll go with Zant because I thought the fight looked awesome, even if Zant himself sucked balls...

I'm wondering, how exactly did they do the game linking? Was it just a code you got at the end of one, and you input the code at the start of the next one? Trying to figure if it will work on the VC.
Favorite games: Wind Waker or Majora's Mask
Favorite dungeons: Shadow Temple (OoT) or Tower of the Gods (WW)
Favorite boss: Uncertain, this series has so many amazing bosses.
Games I've finished: LoZ, AoL, LA, LttP, OoT, MM, WW, OoS, FSA
Haven't finished: OoA, TP, TMC, PH, ST
Am I the only one who can't really enjoy the oracle games anymore? I loved them as a kid, but there's just something about them that bugs me now. They're almost boring.

It's been way too long since I've played a Zelda game from Start to Finish. I almost beat Links Awakening again before OoT but then I got distracted playing that.

Is anyone else amazed at how well animated the lip area is?
Oh, that's simple. Before OoT nobody cared about creating a coherent narrative spanning multiple games and thus there is no explanation for that if you want Zelda 1 to follow A Link to the Past. Zelda 2 had that whole sleeping Zelda thing that was supposed to be the reason for the name "The Legend of Zelda" that no other game has so much as mentioned and I hope it stays that way because trying to make connections to the 2D games now would turn the series into a hopeless incoherent mess.Mama Robotnik said:

We should get it out of the way now and make "No Timeline Denial" a hard rule.

Oh I will. I know I can do it. Just sometimes I get side tracked playing other games and stuff, and I drop the game for too long so I restart from the beginning all over again.
Yes! I want this too. I would like to know if there are plans for this. I still have my copies but only have the OG GBA with no backlight. I'd much rather play on my 3DS. I only finished one of them. I'd also like Minish Cap and A Link to the Past on the 3DS store, both of which I haven't played. All 4 would be instant buys for me.Alrus said:Nintendo better start releasing Ages and Seasons on the 3DS VC soon!

The only game in the Four Sword series that really has a lot of connections to ALttP is FSA, and only because it was originally going to be a prequel to ALttP. It even used ALttP sprites at first. But during its development, Miyamoto upended the tea table (of course), and its story was changed drastically. Of course, because the game was built around the idea of it being a prequel to ALttP, many of those connections remain in the game.CassSept said:

Playing through Twilight Princess right now. The third tears of light hunt sucks, but the game gets sooooo much better after all of the twilight segments are done. Gotta tough it out. ;-;

We post creepy fanart.
Not if you believe that Ganon is a separate entity from Ganondorf, and that there are multiple Ganondorfs (which is strongly hinted at in the games). If you watch my video, I've explained how this works.BurntPork said:
And, in the end, whether you think it makes sense or not, that's the timeline placement the developers have confirmed.
So what is the relationship between Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages? I haven't played them, but I always assumed they were two different stories or whatever, happening at the same time, one in each timeline.
Is that entirely inaccurate?
Also, Obligatory Fan Film time.

Who is your favourite zelda character? Mine is Tingle.
When I saw the thread title, I thought it said "Redeads" instead of "Retreads".
Anywho, not enough Link to the Past lovin in here:
Here's a pretty cool remix of all the songs from ALTTP, too: http://www.carbohydrom.net/music/CarboHydroM_-_Unsealed.mp3

As long as Spielberg and Lucas have no part of this, I'm good.
Haha.

I like Tingle and Malo are my favorite characters.
Ganon being a separate entity from Ganondorf is kinda out there. The only game with Ganon were he isn't Ganondorf transformed is Zelda 1, and even then he might be since we weren't given any backstory. I personally don't believe in the multiple Ganondorf theory and I just think that there isn't actually just one storyline, but I won't get into that.Tyeforce said:
Did they confirm that FSA takes place directly after FS? I don't think so. If we go on assuming that there are multiple Ganondorfs/Ganons, it would make more sense to put FSA between TP and ALttP. Otherwise, we end up in a very odd situation where Ganondorf is reincarnated while he's still alive.
