Re: Art in the Alltp players guide, canon?

Just because the majority believes it's canon, while you believe it isn't, doesn't mean you have to accept it as canon.
But most people believe it is not canon...

This presents problems for the early placement.
1) How did the MS get from Ganondorf's head of stone to a cave? (Not a huge problem, as before we just had it washing up on the shores of Labrynna or Holodrum. It could just wash up on the shores of Hyrule and end up in a cave.
Again, the sword is called Magical Sword in the latest version of LoZ. We know that the developers did make other corrections to that version (Gannon became Ganon). And we know that they do change stuff for timeline purposes (Wise Men >> Sages and Flute >> Ocarina in the GBA version of LttP).

With all that said, we can say, for sure, that the Magic sword is not the Master Sword. That was just Lex desperate claim to see if he can get people back to the early placement Just kidding, ok

Of course, the problem with the late placement is that the MS has to get out of its pedestal and end up in a cave. This brings up the question, "Is AST canon?" Is it is canon, the MS is a neutral issue. If it's not canon, it's better with the early placement.
Not a problem considering there is absolutely nothing implying that the Master Sword is the Magic Sword except for one pic that didn't state so. Just because two swords are similar doesn't mean they are the same

And this is the Magic sword shown in AoL:

As to how someone got the trident if it was in the SR...it wasn't. The SR vanished, remember? So the trident would end up in Hyrule Castle, since it was in the Pyramid of Light that Ganon threw it away. If the ToP can be stolen from Hyrule Castle, so can...the ToP(trident).
What? Why the hell would the SR vanish? The trident was just taken by Twinrova and sent back to the LW That makes more sense...

So, is AST canon?
No, and I don't needt it to be canon, considering I have official art to prove that LA Link is LttP Link but not OoX Link; and VC LoZ to confirm that Magical sword =/= Master Sword...

But that is not a voting thread
