Ahh. ok. My mistake then.

Nonononononono.

I was undecided on whether or not FSS could go in between SS and OoT. I still thought SS was first (or the earliest as of yet, as they said).

But werent you undecided between FSS-SS-OoT and SS-FSS-OoT ? Or did I just misunderstand you.

Well, I never doubted it was first.

Fujibayashi: Chronologically, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is the very first story. At the beginning, we talked about how it traces the origin of the Master Sword, but all sorts of other elements develop, so the story is denser than ever before


Iwata: Aonuma-san, could you briefly explain The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword to players playing the Legend of Zelda for the first time?

Aonuma: Well…this is the first story in the Legend of Zelda series, so there is no need to know anything that came before. The main protagonist, Link, just suddenly gets drawn into the story.

Yeah now that you mention it, I do recall that Master Sword logo on the MC title.

Yeah, I think the old MC logo had the Master Sword or something.

And I put that stuff in spoiler tags for a reason.

Sorry I couldn't read the spoiler, as soon as I read final boss I stoped.
Yup they share the same director. I really like Hidemaro's work.

Something I heard a while ago, not sure if its true, that MC story was going to be the origin of the Master Sword, so it was going to be first, but was later scraped.
And that some of those ideas were then brought to Skyward sword. Which is why they contacted Hidemaro. But don't quote me on that, it's just something I read on a thread a while ago.

I agree.

Though I was actually pretty surprised at how many references there seemed to be to the FSS. Like how the final boss supposedly turns into the Trident of Power. And things such as the Digging Mitts, Gust Jar, elements powering the Master Sword, absence of both Zoras and Gerudo, the fact that the MC backstory sounds hauntingly similar to the story of SS, etc.. After all, the same director (Hidemaro Fujibayashi) who worked on MC worked on SS. I would think that if there was anybody who would care about making a FSS connection, it would probably be him.

SS seems so far to conect alot to both TP and OoT. So imo I find it a little hard for the FSS to come in between SS and OoT. But you do have a point there. And I also agree that they seem to ignore the old school 2D games. Especially the AoL backstory like you said.

They should really remake the first 2 zelda games and update their backstories to fit more into the timeline. But I doubt that will happen.

Well, if he had mentioned anything about FSS going in between, then we would pretty much have most of the timeline confirmed, which is something they apparently don't want us to know about because it's "top secret" info for whatever reason. He never really confirms or denies any such placement in those interviews (even when specifically asked about it), so it's still pretty vague at best, which just might be exactly what he wants it to be.

I'm also really starting to get the impression that they don't even care about the 2D games (at least story-wise) anymore. I mean, they pretty much ignored the entire AoL backstory, as well as the OoT-AlttP connection that they had going ever since WW came out.

I think it's just best to wait until we have played SS.

But if FSS were to be inbetween, wouldnt Eiji have mention them in one form or another by now?

Eh... well that doesn't necessarily mean that OoT comes directly after SS, just that it comes after.

I was really hoping that there was finally something to confirm it one way or another, since lately I've been pretty back and forth between this whole "SS-FSS-OoT or SS-OoT-FSS" thing.

Heres what I could translate from it:

MyGames:In this case, the Legend of zelda Skyward Sword continues to maintain the status of being one of the first right?

Eiji Aonuma: The story of the Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword is of the oldest, so yes it is the first and takes place before The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time

Let me look it up again. The site is in portugese so I don't understand it well...

In that FS topic, you mentioned that there was a quote where it was confirmed that OoT goes right after SS. Where does it say that?

Yeah. But I am SO undecided as to where to put the FSS that I don't even know if I agree or disagree.

lol yeah,
Have you seen my timeline in my sig?

Just something I noticed, but you seem to like every single post that says the FSS is after OoT.
