Possibility of OoT Link in Tp

I'm pretty sure they aren't going to involve him again as Nintendo would then have to explain what he had been doing all this time apart from apearing in soul calibur 2. Plus I agree with Saria.exe that Link reincarnates for mostly every adventure, Infact I'm sure I heard it said officially somewhere. must look that up.

Aww nuts. I just realised that there is no hope of Link getting a fairy at any point in this game, because then the oil lamp would become pointless for lighting the way. ah well it seems there will be lots of animal friends for me to play with.

Well, a link to it would be nice otherwise I'll still have hope for OoT Link being in TP.

Way to revive a thread man...

could be set at the backside of hyrule castle

Its a different Link, someone at Nintendo said that in a trailer, so IT"S A DIFFERENT LINK.

also, does Link look like he's 40 in this game? didn't think so.

The original post is asking if this Link will meet the Link from OoT. Not whether or not this is the same Link.

since we don't know how many decades has gone by, we can't possibly know if OOT Link is even alive. and since Nintendo always use a new Link for every adventure i feel that the chance of seeing OOT Link is slim to none. And it would be really odd too since it is the hero's soul that is passed on to every new Link.

If you go by my timeline theory, then TP Link will not run into OoT Link. This game takes place after Ocarina of Time, but the world has no Link, Nintendo said we'd see some characters from OoT, so, OoT would certainly have to be alive still right? Wrong.

At this point, Link had already gone back in time, leaving the world without him, really, how is this so hard to believe? Why would Link take all the time to beat Ganon and help the people in the future if all he had to do was go back and seal Ganon in the Sacred Realm with the Master Sword, the future that would form from his actions there would be better, who cares about the other one, it will cease to be, right? Again, wrong. Link saved the future, even though in his own time it will never come to pass because the Adult Link timeline will go on, and now there is no Link. In his own timeline, or the Young Link timeline, Link goes on to Termina, then comes back to Hyrule, we have no idea where he goes next. In Adult Link's timeline, we have Twilight Princess, and this fits in perfectly with Wind Waker. Look at the Castle, nothing like OoT's, yet, if this takes place after Majora's Mask, it should. Why doesn't it? They rebuilt it, Ganondorf destroyed it in the future. Why is the statue of Adult Link and not Young Link? Easy, WW and TP exist in Adult Link's timeline. Why does the story say he "appeared as if from nowhere" because he did, from the past. It shows him on a horse, something Young Link never had, and finally, why would the sages from the Adult Link timeline be in the castle basement if it wasn't from the Adult Link timeline?

Zelda to me, follows this path:
OoT-Majora's Mask-A Link to the Past-Zelda 1-Zelda 2?
OoT-Twilight Princess-Wind Waker-Phantom Hourglass?

I'd put the Oracle Series after Zelda 2, but no clue on Link's Awakening or the whole Four Swords thing, including Minish Cap.

So, essentially, you won't see him because he doesn't exist in that world. That's why WW Link is "not related" to OoT Link, he's from a new bloodline, maybe TP Link's.

LinkTimeHero, that is an awsome post. I fully agree with you.

The only link to Link from OoT to TP would be people who were there as Link was young and as he was old. Like the people from Lon Lon Ranch would be able to tell stories about him. But they'd all tell of him disappearing as child and returning "as if from nowhere" seven years later only to save Hyrule and disappear again.

The path you stated should be made more clear:
OoT, young- *time travel + 7 years to OoT, old then time travel - 7 years*- Majora's Mask- ? The time travel part is only seen by Link and those in the other time line.:

OoT, young- *Link is gone for 7 years* - OoT, old- *Link leaves forever this time*- Twilight Princess with new Link- Wind Waker, which seems to mention little of the Twilight Princess time because Gannon is locked away in OoT old and that was all they told of.

So does that mean there will be no Gannon this time around? That would only make sence. He hasn't been mentioned to my knowlage, only assumed. (Don't talk about the scrapped Space World 2000 vid, that has nothng to do with TP)

If it's a few decades older link would not start as an teen and mature through the game, he would already be a adult so i doubt it's the Link from OOT.

No. You don't control OoT link, and having more than one link would be silly (4Swords is a completely different matter). The only way OoT link will appear is if TP Link is a grown up version.

I really don't see the fuss over OoT link. He's just a video game character, essentially the same as all the other Links.

I think it's quite possible we'll see Ganon in the end of this one.

I've got a couple odd theories, though they do not involve Link dying, so don't worry.

Let's say there is a new villain responsible for the Twilight, and by defeating certain enemies (bosses) Link fights back the Twilight, closing off a portal between realms. What if he goes on to fight this new villain, and as the portal closes, Link is caught on the otherside, trapped in the Twilight. In the end, we could see Ganon coming down and the flood start.

This other one is a much happier ending. Again, I don't think Ganon will be the main villain, Link defeats that one, and then we see Ganon, free somehow, but, due to some event, Link is not able to defeat him, maybe the Master Sword is sealed under the statue, remember in Wind Waker it looks like Ganon was in the middle of a siege on Hyrule Castle when time froze, perhaps Ganondorf had claimed the castle, as well as the Master Sword, making his defeat impossible. Link could be one of the ones who is chosen to climb to the mountain tops and avoid the flood, when it begins.

All in all, I really think it's likely we'll see something about the flood, Nintendo seems to be specifying that this is between OoT and WW, suggesting that it will tie the two together. Of my above two possible endings, I would really prefer number two, seeing Link sitting on the newly formed Outset Island looking at the sunset would be the most amazing ending for a Zelda game I could come up with, plus, it would complete an actual trilogy in the series, Ocarina, Twilight, Wind, by really connecting them.

I was thinking maybe it would be some kind of rescue attempt to free Gannon where he'd only be mentioned but because it's Link trying to stop the bad guys from doing this, Gannon would never see the light of day this time around.
That's just a thought. ^_^

You DO realize that the "Forest Temple" probably isn't the final name of the temple. Did you remember any "Goron Mines" in OOT?

Hyrule has most likely changed between the two games, so don't expect too many similarities. And Remember what WW stated, that the Hero never returned to Hyrule.

The Zelda games normally feature only 1 Link. I'd prefer that it sticks to it thank you very much.

It Has changed over the years, or if the game was before OOT happened but to me OOT happened first in the timeline. TP's hyrule will be bigger and will have OOT hyrule simmillarties, I.E. Castle, Market,

Kakariko village.

What does this have to do with anything?

The sig says I'm Sided by Wisdom. Zelda represents Wisdom, so technically it'd mean I'm sided by Zelda. Raging for Power reflects on hatred towards Ganon.

So sorry if I flame... but maybe you should keep to yourself and get a life... ...

Thank you. At least somebody has a logical mind on his shoulders. The above statements echo my beliefs so perfectly here that for a second there, thought I was reading one of my own posts! Rock on, dude.

Still, I think TP would more logically fit after OoT (past ending) and MM because Ganondorf acted like the Hero of Winds was the second Link he ever met. They say Ganondorf will be in TP, and thus will interact with TP Link so it seems like it would be a huge plot hole. Maybe Ganondorf split into two timelines when he escaped from the Sacred Realm. That way, he could meet both TP Link and TWW Link and find both to be the Hero of Time reborn...

Ah, who knows? As soon as TP is here, everything will be made clear.

Sorry dudes, but the timeline is linear, it doesn't split. Hold on, I'll get someone who can explain it a hell of a lot better than I can, just wait.

Some interesting statements you got linkherotime but then in young links timeline which is basicly the original timeline, then there would be two twisted worlds because young link''s adventure will go totally different then the adult link's and that would make two twisted worlds :S

The timeline doesn't split. Young Link's actions are set, and carry over to Adult Link's future before you even accomplish them in-game, as evidenced by the Song of Storms sequence.

Let's get back on topic, please.
