After the Majora.....

After MM it was said that ganon returned to Hyrule, although the hero of time didn't.

How did Link die anyhow and why didn't he return to Hyrule, he may not have found Navi but he had found Tatl so there was no reason why he shouldn't return home?? (this thread may or may not have already been made, i am sorry iff it has..)

Funny you should ask cause I myself was pondering about the same question. It is actually not known what happened to the Hero of Time after MM. All we know is that he obviously died at some stage. Maybe he couldn't return to Hyrule, or he didn't want to return anyway. Its a question that has been asked many times but the answer is only speculation. However Termina and Hyrule were "alternate" worlds so maybe this had some relevance to the question. About finding Navi, it seems he traveled to Termina just to look for her but ended up not finding her after. He had made friends with another of her kind, therefore there was no reason why he should return. Its all speculation though.

But I digress and maybe the Elements that made him a Hero had something to do with it. By traveling to Termina he had been seperated from those elements and maybe this created a barrier for Link to never return.

Its porbably one od the most asked questions in the Zelda Series overall one ive tried to find an answer to for ages but have never suceded Nintendo has given no offcial word on this we presume that it was been saved for another game or the beneifit the story,

I hoped that in TP we would see the return of the Hero Of Time and Navi but no so who knows if this will ever be answered.

I've noticed that in Wind Waker, something was said about the Triforce of Courage was shattered when the Hero of Time went, actually it says he was called, on another adventure out of Hyrule. He was seperated from the elements that made him a hero. /Just as kenshikata said/ But in MM they said nothing of the Triforce or mention that it was shattard when Link left Hyrule. So I still wonder also...

I actually know this one... Link DID come back to Hyrule at first. Many of you, of course, have seen the beginning of the Oracle games, where Link is transported to Holodrum or Labrynna. Link came back to Hyrule and was transported to both lands, THEN Ganondorf came and destroyed it.

From here, it's my own personal guesswork, but there is no reason it shouldn't work. Link takes a boat to get back to Hyrule, and he sails on the outside of the newly formed Great Sea from Hyrule's flooding, although he doesn't know about it. Since Link in The Wind Waker is a descendant of the Hero of Time, Link probably made a life up on the ocean after giving up his search, and had babies. Tadah!

Someone is probably going to come up with a reason that it can't work.

Ah yet more confusion over the timelines. I have posted a theory on this in another thread. It seems to make a lot of sense. Here's the link:
The Hero of Time's Second Life

Hope this helps

Several, actually.
The Oracles Hero is NOT the Hero of Time, nor is he the Hero of Cataclysm's Eve (ALTTP). I don't know how you reached that conclusion. The clearest proof of this is that in Oracles, Link and Zelda DON'T know each other. And just how could Ganondorf destroy Hyrule while Link was in Holodrum and Labrynna when for the whole of BOTH games, Twinrova is trying to REVIVE him? And in addition to that, the Oracles Hero destroys Ganon right after his revival.
The Hero of Winds (TWW) is NOT a descendant of the Hero of Time - the King of Red Lions said himself that the boy "has no connection with the legendary one". He IS one of the last remaining Hylians, and since he can use the Master Sword, a descendant of the Knights of Hyrule.
Read my theory: in it, the Hero of Time disappeared from the Timeline in which the Wind Waker takes place, hence he was not there to stop Ganondorf.
Here's the link:
The Hero of Time's Second Life

Well, in Wind Waker, it says that Link, The Hero of Winds, has no conection to the Hero of Time except for the Triforce of Courage. But both Zelda's in both games do. Just saying...

The introduction to MM implied that Link was leaving Hyrule anyway to find his friend. The ending shows that that hasn't changed. The events in Termina were really just a chance for Link to come to terms with what happened in Hyrule (since Link could have left Termina at any time). You have to be careful with games such as this (and link's awakening) not to take events too literally.

He did not die he was sent on a new quest so he did not turn back

Why do people instill Link with this false sense of bravado? Link doesn't look for challenges. He doesn't run up to the royal family and say "howdy. What land needs saving today? hmmm, Holodrum? Sounds sexy. Count me in!"

well. At least I hope not.

That is not fact - there is no proof that Ganon attacked Hyrule when Link was in Hyrule, so don't say it as if it was a fact.
Furthermore, when Link was returned to his own time, it was as if none of his adult quest in OOT ever happened. so if Ganon attacked and the Gods created the Great Sea during this time, there couldn't possibly be a legend of the Hero of Time passed down by the people, since there never was a Hero of Time.
Read my timeline theory (click the link in my sig) to clear a few things up

OK, before Link left for Terminia he got some woman pregnant, this setting up Hyrule for future generations, and Oot Link getting out of paying child support.

Just as sound as all these theories.

O-kaaaayy... this theory is perhaps a bit too modern for Hyrule.
And a very BIG flaw in this theory is that when Link left for Termina, the oldest he could've been was about 12 - a bit young to impregnate a woman, i'm sure many will agree.
So in future, keep these little brainfarts to yourself

Ok, when link was in the future, if Link can banish Ganon in the future, I am sure he can have some fun in the future, therefor, TP Link is the offspring of Oot Link, I have no idea.

Just my theory and if you can not accept it...

Good Day.

well i prefer my own theory personally. it explains an awful lot more and i put a lot of thought into it. Read it if you ant - link's in my sig.
Good day

He probably died of old age. Isn't it implied that the flood happened a long time after the end of Ocarina of Time?

Twilight Princess has been said to take place "decades" after Ocarina of Time. So the Link from OoT would at least be middle aged by then (if not deceased), and why would he need to save the land when there's a new Link around?

Well in WW, it said that The Hero of Time was called to take another journey outside of Hyrule. He might have died on that journey, but no one in Hyrule knew about it cause he was seperated from them. /the next is said in WW/ But soon, maybe like a century or less, Ganon escaped from his imprisonment and attacks Hyrule and the people pray for The Hero of Time to come and save them, but when he didn't come, they turned to the Gods who drowned Hyrule to keep it from Ganon, and to keep the people alive, the Gods chose people in different areas to flee to the mountain tops of Hyrule, that soon became islands in the Great Sea. Hundreds of years past, until Ganon managed to escape again and started kidnapping Hylain girls with blond hair, which are tradmarks of the Princess of Hyrule, to find the Triforce of Wisdom.

And the rest is what's in the game. Whoa I talked alot...I need cookies.
