It appears I should have done just one more Google search, as you are correct. I found nothing to corroborate the Hero of Men statement. However, I am not convinced that a hat is a poor reason because of this:

I would imagine that if they felt the need to honor a hero that lived more than a hundred years ago and then that honor was corroborated by WW Link's deeds that the people of Hyrule would still want to honor him. Plus the fact that they still continue to wear that cap either proves that they are honoring that, or that just every Link in existence ever just decided that a cap was a good idea. Way too coincidental and chancy for me.

Fair enough. I concede that point to you. However, as I stated other reasons for my positioning of both MC and TP, I do not feel that this is a big blow to my theory.

I see you are right. It has been far too long since I've played those games. Still, if I placed them both on the child timeline with no merge, and then have it lead straight into LA it wouldn't damage what I have right now all that much.


Oh, sure enough that Mirror is probably done for. But my point was that the ruler of the Twilight was the only one who could destroy the mirror. Since the Twilight people are descended from the Dark Interlopers and they've been passing down this magic for a while now, I'm pretty sure that the Interlopers had the same magic as the Twili. Thus, the ruler of the Dark Interlopers could have just as easily destroyed the Mirror of Twilight as Midna did. Which if their were only one, then why wouldn't he have just done that? Certainly would have saved his people a lot of suffering and despair. It is purely theory, but I feel that it is at least somewhat supported by in-game evidence. Even if only indirectly.


Actually, both mirrors take you both direction. Granted the Magic Mirror in ALttP can only create one portal at a time from the normal world, but it still takes you both directions, as does the Mirror of Twilight. In fact, the Mirror of Twilight can also only create one portal at a time from the normal world, so doesn't that kind of lend itself to the possibility that they are the same mirror, or at least that they have the same origins.

Well, it's a bit of a stretch, but at the end of FSA, Ganon was sealed with the Four Sword. Now, here's where the stretch comes in. This explains the idea of the Seal War, but it doesn't explain how Ganon got from the Four Sword to the Sacred Realm. However, I do have a theory on that one, I just completely forgot to leave it out of my initial post. I'm sure you could agree with me that the Four Sword shares some similar traits to the Master Sword. For example, you need it to banish evil. It was the only weapon that could have sealed Vaati in both FS games. It's possible that they both have same origins. After all, as far as I know there has been no definite origin story on the Master Sword. The only real thing we know about it is that it's a key to the Sacred Realm, which if the Four Sword is similar in origin to the Master Sword could just as well lead to the Sacred Realm, explaining both the Seal War, and the fact that Ganon is sealed in the Sacred Realm at the beginning of ALttP. I don't really expect it to convince you, as it is rather weak, but is is a possible explanation with at least some in-game evidence, although admittedly very little, to answer your question.
