OoT Link alive in TP?

If you think about this, you would figure that OoT link would probably be alive in TP.
You see, they makers of the Legend of Zelda series have gave out info about TP and all that. But what I get from the title is coming based on ifo from the wind waker. They said that the wind waker takes place one hundred years after OoT. They also said that TP is in between the wind waker and ocarina of time. However you look at it, Link should be alive in TP because it is most likely that TP takes place 50 years after, because Ganon was sealed away for a long time and escaped in WW. So it has to be a good time placement for TP. 50 years after, Link would still be alive just 68 years old. OoT would be alive, or unless TP take place 90 years after OoT, then TP link would be alive in wind waker, however you look at things there should be a encounter between the two.

No its not 100 years, its centuries. And thats a long time so I dont think that we will see the Hero of Time in this game....

WW takes place HUNDREDS of years after OOT. Multiple 100s buddy.

We don't know how many decades TP takes place after TP, I'd say a minimum 40 probably, but even if the Hero of Time was still alive, it wouldn't matter, as he never returns to Hyrule anyway.

Actully, nintendo said that tp took place a few decades after Oot, but i doubt you will be able to see him, but that would be kinda cool.

centries? I have NEVER heard that, someone give a link to their source so they can prove it. I heard at windwaker .com that they said it take place 100 years after, and that is what I heard.

Where's the proof that Link in OoT didn't return to Hyrule? I never saw any evidence. And yes, it's possible that the Hero of Time is still alive when TP occurs. You are right that we don't know how many decades TP takes place after OoT (you made a boo boo there), though.

Nintendo is making TP to be the ultimate closure to the OoT era, as stated in an interview. Their will not be anymore LoZ's to be based off the OoT after TP. I tend to hope that Nintendo throws out all sorts of surprizes with TP regaurding the old OoT story plot and having many people and rememberable places pop up every now and then.

Of course I wan't the Hero of Time to show up or make an appearance in TP! It would add a new interesting flare in the Zelda series for one legendary hero of Hyrule to meet another one. And this would be the only LoZ where it could possibly happen. I don't care what anyone else says, because I'm a die hard OoT fan and I wan't to hear about the Hero of Time and see the Hero of Time in TP! Go OoT!!!

It's in the game bro pay attention.

When Tetra turns into Zelda soon after the King is revealed, he tells the story of how the people escaped the flood to live upon the mountain tops.
His exact words where: "Hundreds of years have passed since then".
So there your ultimate source.


Plus the interview windwaker.com is a mistranslation. Myamoto meant to say hundreds of years. A magazine had confirmed the error a long time ago.

I don't have proof, but if you look at WW, the legend says the Hero had left Hyrule to another journey.
He never returned afterwards.

If it's only fifty years after OOT, then wouldn't you basically see every character in the last game, except they look older? Could you imagine actually seeing the Queen of Hyrule (OOT Zelda)?

I think it would be interesting to see two Link's with each other. It leaves me in a lot of thought of how that would work out...So far, there haven't been any confirmations that OOT Link is in TP. And I'm pretty sure it hasn't been confirmed that the game takes place fifty years after OOT.

It would be nice to see both Link's, but I somehow doubt you'll see him (maybe dead or something, not sure).

I hope we do see some old Faces...

would be awsome if when you talk to an old character they are like "Link... is that you?" you know because of the clothing. and some people think your the hero of time.

but yea I am hoping for new towns with new people and old towns with old people! Maybe see some graves with familiar names with them. Also i want to see how Link turned out (the Goron Link)

Yea it would be cool to see some of the older characters but they would be seriously old. And if by some chance the two Links did meet it would only be for a short time I think. Here's my theory on that....Tp Link meets OOT Link and OOT Link tells him the tale of how he saved Hyrule from Ganon. (Basically OOT story) Shortly after the house where OOT Link is living is bombarded and a battle takes place. OOT Link tells TP Link he has to get out and save his people. OOT Link tho old can still hold his own in a swordfight and buy's TP Link enough time to escape. TP Link see's the house in the distance as he escapes slowly become engulfed in flames........


Its just a thought of mine...wouldnt that be kind of cool tho?

Yeah, I suppose. It would be nice if two Links met face to face. They'd be all surprised and stuff.

well that would be interesting. It would also be kind of sad, i mean so many Oot Fanboys will probably crying... or they will make up some theory how he escaped and burned his house down so he could hide. because maybe he was being looked for....

but yea it would be great if that happend, like the passing of the tourch from one great hero to another!

Mabe he should be alive (w/ all the other oot characters) but is simply a glitchy story. And yeah I know thats a but simplistic of me to say that, but it could be true.

That was just a theory of mine because I always figured Ganon would hunt down OOT Link for sealing him away. In a way I would kind of like for OOT Link to die in the way I described above. I'm sure he wouldnt want to have it anyother way. Going down in true hero fashion. Sacrificing himself so the new hero can do what needs to be done.


This also ties in to my wishing the characters had voices in this one. At the last battle Ganon would be like "Do you really think you will be able to stop me you fool?" "The origional hero could not even put up a decent fight against my minions!" Then Link will be like "That.....was a mistake!"

Let the battle commence........

Although the scenario would make since if they were after the Hero of Time and his decendants by what Ganondorf said at the end of OoT. I wounder if the reason for Moblins kidnapping girls from villages in TP is because they are descendants of the Hero of Time???

Thats a good point LOZHistorian..... That could be the reason the girls are getting kidnapped. Hmmmn never looked at it that way.

Yeah, Ganondorf would not be looking for descendants of Zelda because she is obviously prevelent in TP. So if Ganondorf wants to make sure that another hero cannot arise to save Hyrule, he will do whatever he can to rid The Hero of Time's descendants like he cursed at the end of OoT. Say he acomplishes that goal but their is only one slight link left in the bloodline, but that last link in the bloodline does not produce an eir. That "link" being TP Link. Although he is not a descendant of OoT Link, Nintendo may be leading us astrayfrom that truth because it will be a surprize. Maybe.

Ever think of that one guy that you get your sword from? Just who could he be? Hm... I think I'm on to something!

"One hundred years" in the context it was used in the interview means "hundreds of years."

I don't think Ganondorf or any of the other characters from OoT will play a significant role in TP, simply because Nintendo is trying to pull the series in another direction, even with this, the closing chapter of the OoT story arc. Twilight Princess likely involves a plot to free Ganon from the Sacred Realm--but not Ganon himself.
