picori theory

"A long, long time ago...
When the world was on the verge of being swallowed by shadow...
The tiny Picori appeared from the sky, bringing the hero of men a sword and a golden light.
With wisdom and courage, the hero drove out the darkness.
When peace had been restored, the people enshrined that blade with care."

But now... a new part of the story unfolds.

"And the force of the golden light, embodied in Hyrule's princess, shone fourth upon the lands."

ok I think everyone understands that. Yesterday I started minish cap again, and suddenly this game started to make me think. An I have come up with a theory.

As the story says:

"A long, long time ago...
When the world was on the verge of being swallowed by shadow...
The tiny Picori appeared from the sky, bringing the hero of men a sword and a golden light.
With wisdom and courage, the hero drove out the darkness.
When peace had been restored, the people enshrined that blade with care."

that means that the picori already had made the picori sword to defeat a villain(I don't know who the villain was, maybe Ganon). Know everyone knew that already. Know during the game they say that the picori appear ones a 100 year, that's why the hylians made a ceremony. Now, Don't know for sure But I think that the picori had made the picori sword 100 years ago to help the hero that existed 100 years ago. Now we don't know who that hero was, I don't know exactly. Now, the picori didn't only make the sword , but they also made a golden light and that's what Vaati was after in minish cap. Know they say in the story that a long time ago( for me 100 years before minish cap)the world was on the verge of being swallowed by shadow. I think the hero couldn't handle the villain and so the picori's came out of the sky and gave the hero the picori sword and the princess got the golden light. But did the picori literaly fall out of the sky or is it just a legend? if they really came out of the sky, who has made them? the three godesses? to help the hero because he was to weak to defeat the villain?It could be that, because this kind of senario are we going to see in TP. TP link will fail and the three godesses will make the flood. Tww link exist and defeats Ganondorf. Now that was one thing

secondly: During the game if you go to wind ruins there you will find a pink soldier called Iron Automata. And near the Soldier there is a house of a minish. if you talk to him, he will say that the minish made these Iron Automata's to protect the hylians. I don't know, but the Iron Automata look like armos statues. If you go near a Iron Automata he will move........just like a armos statue. Know I think the real names of the soldiers are Iron Automata. But later in Oot and other games the people called it armos statue. Now why did the minish made these soldiers?ofcourse to protect the hylians, but why?What did happen 100 years ago? Now if the Iron Automata is the armos statue, then you could say that minish cap comes before Oot because in Oot the armos statue already exist and after Oot, in all zelda games the armos statue still exist.

but, there's always a but. If this theory is somehow true, then how come the picoris don't appear 100 years after minish cap? do we have any zelda game that stated 100 years after minish cap? if not then there is a missing chapter.

Now like I said it's just a theory. I could be wrong that's why I want you guys to help me find the right theory.

This is a really good theory and I agree with you on most points except:

I really don't think that the godesses will flood the world at the end of TP. It is like this:
Yay! you have beaten the final boss. The world starts to flood "WTF?" Link asks.

AS for your question, maybe the Picoris do appear, but are no longer known about and dismissed by parents as day dreams and fairy tales.

Well, the Minish may have created the Armos statues before OOT, but that doesn't necessarily mean TMC comes before OOT. The game doesn't say when exactly the Minish made them.

It's not a bad theory but I still think all you people think too hard. I doubt there's a timeline connecting all the games. And capcom's game would tend to make a few mistakes with that kind of thing anyway. I don't think Nintendo is concerned about linking all the games together.

If you are concerned about where TMC takes place in the timeline you can read my theory in the link provided below. It is titled the "Legendary White Sword". Based on the evidence of this existing sword in TMC and LoZ, the people in this thread concluded that part of the timeline ran like this: TMC, FS, FSA, LoZ, AoL. The evidenve provided by the hystory of the Picori Blade becoming the White Sword in TMC and then later showing up in the LoZ shows the little timeline I just typed above.

You may read futher details and supportive evidence if you wish to discuss the evolutions of this vital sword and how it gives off evidence of its existence in Hyrule's hystory.

The Legendary White Sword

Where do you have ALttP in there? Anyways, aren't the statues in Minish Cap called Armos Statues as well? I thought they were, but I'll check. As soon as I get there again, that is. Just got a ROM of Minish Cap, so I'm trying to get to a Darknut to start ripping him. Heh heh, once I've ripped his sprites, I'll rip him with my sword.

They are called Armos in Minish Cap. Where'd you get this Iron Automata? Anyway, the Minish could have made them before OoT, but that doesn't mean MC comes before that. And, the Minish reveal themselves to children, but even then are tiny. I don't think it's just coincidence we don't see them. Now, if you excuse me, I feel like replaying TMC again.

Where exacticaly do you meet Iron Automata in the game?

They're Armoses. I think that they're called Iron Automata in Belgium. Yes, he's from Belgium. Just check his nationality flag there. Anyways, that's a good name right there. I think it'd be good for a massive mechanical boss, don't you?

eh?that's weird, it is called Iron Automata. In the game the minish also says Iron Automata. And check the ZU walktrough of minish cap. maybe they are named as armoses.

The Legendary White Sword

I liked your theory, it does make sence(I mean the URl link).

This is the story of Loz.

One day, an evil army attacked this peaceful little kingdom and stole the Triforce of Power. This army was led by Gannon, the powerful Prince of Darkness who sought to plunge the World into fear and darkness under his rule. Fearing his wicked rule, Zelda, the princess of this kingdom, split up the Triforce of Wisdom into eight fragments and hid them throughout the realm to save the last remaining Triforce from the cluthes of the evil Ganon. At the same time, she commanded her most trustworthy nursemaid, Impa, to secretly escape into the land and go find a man with enough courage to destroy the evil Gannon. Upon heraing this, Ganon grew angry, imprisoned the princess, and sent out a party in search of Impa.

Now I'm basing your theorie on Loz theory. Now in the Loz theory they say that the princess has split up the triforce of Wisdom into 8 peices. So that means Link has to find the 8 peices and defeat ganon. So that means if the hero in Loz has the triforce of courage and the triforce of wisdom he defeats ganon. So that means that Loz stated 100 years before minish cap (read the story:"A long, long time ago...
When the world was on the verge of being swallowed by shadow...
The tiny Picori appeared from the sky, bringing the hero of men a sword and a golden light.
With wisdom and courage, the hero drove out the darkness.
When peace had been restored, the people enshrined that blade with care.")

With wisdom and courage, the hero drove out the darkness. In Loz he defeats ganon with the triforce of courage and the triforce of wisdom 100 years before minish cap. Does this make sence?

note thanks for giving me the Link to your theory.

i don't think the name matters all that much, the fact still remains that the minish are responsible for the creation of the armos statues we see throughout zelda, while this may not help with the game's placement in the timeline, it sure does provide a very very very very important peice of information, the hero of men, exsisting during the same time of the picori, may have very well lived before link in OoT.

I agree totaly. However it would be nice if TP Link ended up being the hero of men. That would help the timeline. Its what you said plain and simple. The Picori made the Armos Statues. It would make since because some of thos statues are always placed to protect sacred temples around Hyrule in some games.

Ah, but you misinterpreted your facts of TMC prologue stating the hero of men as the hero from LoZ. The hero from the LoZ is the Hero of Origion. Plus in the LoZ Link had the Triforce of Power and Triforce of Wisdom at the end. The interpretation of the TMC prologue saying the hero had wisdom and courage does not match up with the triforce elements that the hero in the LoZ has. Therefore this refference is not compatible with your theory. The LoZ comes after TMC later on.

You are welcome.

Doesn't the story say: The hero of A Link to the Past had been send on a quest for skill and knowledge (or something like that). Then Link goes to Labrynna and Holodrum, afterwards he goes to Koholint. And in all of the mentioned games there are Armos statues. The ones in OoA, OoS and LA (DX) are similiar though the ones from Alttp are taller and they jump. Also there are no existing 'non-active' armos statues in Alttp. Also, if you say the hero from The Minish Cap Prologue is also the hero from LOZ, then howecome the original story says that the hero split him self in four copies to defeat the enemy? Nothing is said from any Four Sword until FS.

Well, what if Din, Nayru, and Farore made the Picori? We may never know they're origin. But the 3 goddesses maybe just started off simple, with the picori, and then went to Gorons, the Zoras, and the Hylians. It's quite possible, since they maybe didn't want something complicated and have a disaster.

Ya that's what I'm thinking too. I mentioned it in my thread.

Wow, really? I didn't even read your post, I was too lazy.

But the Hero of Men was a kid, and TP Link is 17. And besides, Link'll most likely have nothing to do with the picori in TP, we've seen no Picori in the trailers.

Yeah but Picori are smaller than ants...
