Re: Three timeline questions that you would ask Aonouma...

Where I actually able to have a long discussion with the developers;
1) Why tWW?
It changed the nature of OOT's ending, the nature of OOT's connection with AlttP, and the nature of the entire world of Hyrule. Still, it was not he greatest story a Zelda game had ever seen. Why did you choose it?
2) Why FSA?
There were elements in this game which could have made everything better. It could have replaced OOT as the SW and linked the flooded Hyrule to a new world, why couldn't you follow through on your connections?
3) Why continue jumping around?
Up until tWW broke the system, the Zelda releases followed an excelent patern of release. Nothing like that exists any longer... why not?

Of course, those aren't easy things to answer, and would not really help us in the first place. I just wopuldn't trust Aonuma to be hinest with me on more general questions. To date, he has always talked more about development than final product.
