They would always dress up in green tunics with no pants and green hats when doing this, although no one knows why. Oddly enough, shooting the cows often produced treasure chests out of thin air.
While many think this was only temporary, reports of shooting cows with slingshots as recent as 2007 have been reported. Many farmers, believing the chests produced by shooting the cows would lead them to riches, would don the green garb made famous in the 1700's and furiously bombard cows with slingshots, until the cows had enough and began shooting back. How the latter occurred nobody knows, but that's why in 2007 the Cow-Farmer Mutual Agreement of Peace and Prosperity law, CFMAPP, was passed in order to restore peace across the land.
Bottom line, while no one knows where in history The Legend of Zelda games take place, it's at least known it's between the 1700's and 2007 because that's the period of time when Cow Shooting was legal. |
This is the best answer ever. I could never come up with anything this good. Kudos because this was awesome with a bag of chips.
