Ending the series

Definately not! All that lore and stuff is what makes the series truly captivating to me!

Zelda is a never ending chronicle. Saying it will end is like saying Dekus will fly.

But they do fly...

Ikana: Okay it will end when the Zoras...damn rito! Okay it will end when the gorons fly!

I agree, nintendo either needs to but their thinking caps on and revamp the series or trash it and make something totally new yet somewhat familiar to zelda.

And I like the Master Sword, but it shows up in too many games and it makes the game's structure more rigid.

yeah i love ganondorf as the final boss but TP really did not need him to show up, it just made the story even more confusing than it already was.
though if Zant were to be the final boss he should be way more badass then a whiny little psycho child that he ended up being in TP

Lemme get this straight: you want to lose Ganondorf but make the original character exactly the ****ing same as Ganondorf.
How creative and unique.

So give up on trying to fix it and pretend it never happened, rather than trying to fix the hole and being extra creative?

I'm going with the latter

Never. The legend is eternal!

I agree with you for the first time in my life. Zelda inqpires creativity in lots of its fans, especially those who look deeper into things. Yet, people like the thread maker and too bland and shallow to use their imagination and want Zelda to continue in its continuity and eventually bring it all together. No, they want to reset it because they're too unimaginative and shallow, and simply give up on such a great series.

I can't see how you can even suggest that the story end, right now we havea skeleton of a time line to work with(an incomplete one, mind you).

On the other hand, if the Legend were to end it would have to be when the timelines re-join

How on earth would it rejoin? Thats not possible at all. that would mean there are two pasts to the world existing in one.

Haha, skeleton of time! xD
And once again, Alteriho is right about the timeline... I know my timelines - as in, I know a lot about the definition of them and the nature of time, because it has interested me for years - and it is impossible for two timelines to join into one without destorying them. Two timelines converging would mean both of them become one timeline with two different pasts, which would cause the line break down and time would spinter and fall apart, destroying the world of that timeline.

In order for future games to continue in one line, something would have to happen to the other timeline, such as a doomsday where everything is destroyed, meaning that timeline is now empty and over. The time continues, but the world is empty. After that, all new games could be set on the other, safe timeline.

I have been trying to avoid posting in this thread, Becouse the idea is ridiculous. Zelda, is not going to be ending anytime soon, as we all know in our hearts.

They need to expand on the story. Theres gotta be more races of people we have not seen yet. Lets see someone other than ganon try to take over Hyrule to expand on his kingdome. Give Zelda a bigger role in the story other than being captured by the big bad. Make her queen or something.

The main problem with Zelda is we prety much heard the same story for a while, give us more.
We don't need a reboot, just a new story and a new threat.

Ever read Zero hour back in the 90's? They could pull that off.

Such a thing couldn't work in Zelda. For starters, in Zero Hour it was the result of someone trying to undo the universe or something and time was being erased. The merging thing basically affected all of time. In Zelda, it would mess up the timeline for all Zelda games as some would no longer have happened because they would have to make way for their time parallel twin.

The timeline is split, merging it would not work without ruining the universe, you might as well just retcon the whole thing

I'm just saying if they did try to merge the timelines they would probably go al Crisis on us and set off the retconbomb.

I think they should leve the timeline alone and just do a new story for the game already.

Like I said, giving up on something that can be fixed and ignoring it as if it never happened does not mean the problem no longer exists

Having them merge is a bad idea and probably couldn't work out cleanly without a wish on the triforce. Although exploring both lines in one game would be interesting.

The games are getting a lot less challenging, and all the temples are the same, aye. However, Zelda is a perfectly good franchise, and with a franchise, there's always room for more branches no matter what.
I personally don't want it to end, although each game is more or less the same, there's a new twist most of the time, however I would like more boss variation, I was disappointed when Ganondorf wormed his way into the storyline of Twilight Princess. I think they should make a game maybe with Vaati, or a completely new boss, just to add that bit of extra excitement back into the franchise.
