But if Nintendo were stupid enough to build a perfect strengthened link between OoT/MM/Tp/TWW, I'd be really upset. Glad its not like that.

You do notice that OoT has a gap of 100 years to TP? And theres a gap of hundreds of years for TWW. Each of these games have a different graphics style. MM would be boring, but because it runs on OoT's engine they are quite similar. having different graphics styles for each of the three (ooT/TP and TWW) and each being so vastly different it does not make sence for them to be "pure" sequels. I can't imagine TP being a sequel to OoT in a 'true sequels' way. A few mentions of the Hero of Time was enough.
Here you are, ranting up and down like Nintendo just blessed the Split Timeline theroy with TP. Whatever.

Obviously, you don't rember that the correction to WW's placement after OoT was hundreds of years, not a hundred. TP is exactly a hundred years from OoT, not hundreds. So your happy joy-joy frency dance can stop now. TP does no harm or good to the timeline discussion for either side. Its just there after OoT. Period.

It is the unfortunate world in which Nintendo has placed us, and now it is up to decide which road we shall follow: the road of truth where nothing can be created, or the road of imagination where nothing can be destroyed.
