aLttP old man

remember the old man that gave you the mirror in aLttP? has anyone noticed the resemblance between him and that old man that wanders kakariko village in OoT? maybe they are descendants or they are somehow related

Strange old men who seem to know a lot have always been in Zelda games, ever since the first screen in the first game. I don't think they are related, they are just a trademark of the older games.

Very true. I gues this is Nintendo/Japan's way of saying "Listen to your elders". They don't call them "wise" for nothing.

Nah I don't think there is a relation between them. If the old man in OOT was the ancestor of the old man in LTTP, I think he would have gave you an item or something. Just a coincendence is all that is.

Yeah just because they both happen to be old men doesnt mean that they are automatically related that'd be like going into a school and pairing people up and saying theyre related just because they resemble each other

That old man in OOT does strike a resemblance to the old man in ALttP. They could either be related, or it is the same guy

yes, he'd definatley be old if they were the same

Wow, I never thought of them as the same person/relatives, but yeah maybe they could be.

Maybe the old man who was in ALTTP is the father of the old man in OoT. You never know.

OOt came first in the timeline before ALTTP though.
