The Imprisoning War

(I'm new here, so I don't know if this belongs here or not. Please direct me to the right forum if this in the wrong place. )

What game is the Imprisoning War? Or is this topic still up for debate? Like the Timeline?

~ToP~

OOT pretty much is the imprisoning war. It was mentioned in LTTP, and then OOT was made to be the prequel of LTTP.

Careful it never stated for sure which game the imprisoning war refered to.
Its still debated, some say its OOT, some say FSA or even both.
I personally say it refers to FSA.

In OOT Hyrule endured 7 years of getting their rear kicked, then the sages sealed Ganon into the Dark Realm. Thats where LTTP picks up from.

FSA involves the Four Sword, and doesn't contain the Master Sword as OOT and LTTP do. It also doesn't involve the Triforce, or the Dark Realm.

Yes i know there are flaws regarding FSA and associating it with the imprisoning war. However the same could be said about connecting OOT with the imprisoning war as well.

Like what?

Like why would it say Ganon got sealed by the command of the King, where was a king in OOT?
Also it says knights were killed during the process of the sealing, and i dont ever recalling that happening.
So really my point is we cannot be sure on the game that the imprisoning war is talking about.

Seven years passed, whatever was killed or said in OOT happened during that time. I don't want to seem dismissive though, the absence of the King in OOT is noticeable, but it doesn't seem very concrete considering that his order could have come at a much much earlier time. Also, FSA is impossible to connect, so if not OOT, then there isn't anything.

When OOT was made, many years had passed since LTTP was made. OOT answered the void, leaving Hyrule, the Dark Realm, the Master Sword, and Ganon in the correct condition. Without it, none of the other games at the time can fit the description. There is no reason to think that history made in both OOT and LTTP would be rewritten, it would be the biggest kind of insult to long time fans that Nintendo could make.

Wait i dont think its talking about what happened during FSA. I'm implied to think its after.

And you could say that since FSA was made after OOT, we cant really know if they changed their minds about the so called connection between OOT and ALTTP.
edit: and how could the kings order have come before hand if he was trying to form an alliance with Ganondorf.

I always thought that Four Swords was more of the imprisoning war, but OoT's story does make sense.

If after, then you are trying to place the imprisoning war into a fan made filler story of one of many conflicting and debated timeline theories.

Why would that be the time he said it? Thats too early.

Yep i know and it needs to be for Alttp to be placed in the child timeline. Which is where i put it.

And also when do you think he made his order then.

He would have to make the order during the time between when Ganondorf made it into the Sacred Realm, and when Ganondorf's attack on the castle succeeded. It wasn't instant, it took time to happen. Thats assuming that we even consider the King necessary.

Now that i think about it, if it says the king ordered the sages to seal Ganondorf and you say its when the attacks begun or when he made it to the sacred realm(by then the king should dead anyway) I just realised that the sages wouldnt have been awoken by then so it wont make any sense.

If you recall, there was still one sage.

I believe your talking about Rauru. But even so..... i dont think the king would have had time to tell him.
- He was probably killed before he had the time.
- We are not even sure if he knew of Rauru. If they did know each other then im sure Rauru would have warned him about Ganondorf.

He had to know him, the King let them have that nice big temple built right in town. Zelda knew about the sages, so naturally her whole family knew. Also, there is no reason to think that Rauru suspected Ganondorf would get to the triforce. If he had known, he might have stopped Link from getting to the master sword.

OoT was supposed to be the telling of the imprisoning war. It was originally meant to explain the backstory of ALttP, which is the main reason why those two games are very very similar.

Some people believe FSA might be the new imprisoning ar story, but it's all theories and speculations.

Langford, I doubt the King knew Rauru. The Temple of Light is inside the Sacred Realm. Rauru's Temple isn't the Temple of Time. That's just where the gateway is, that can't be opened unless the Master Sword is pulled.

Of course, they know of the Sacred Realm's existance, but not neseccarily of Rauru.
