Theory about Spirit Tracks.

Remember this:


Everyone on ZU was intrigued with it, yet denying it at the same time. When we all read that article saying how the game would focus around a crazy person thinking he was the hero of time, and how trains were going to be the main transportation throughout hyrule? The terms 'steampunk' filled the forums and everyone was wondering about it, thinking how good or bad it would be.

Then we were introduced to how this is a prequel to TWW, how this would set before the great flood of hyrule.

And now officially Spirit Tracks is on are way to N.America in December:


Now we're given a Zelda title, with a train, steampunk atmosphere. Wait, wasn't this hinted or told about in project deluge, that really fake zelda project? Valley of the Flood was mentioned steampunked. Don't you think that article gave some info away about the actual zelda title, spirit tracks? Trains and steampunk were mentioned in Valley of the Flood, and now we have it in spirit tracks. Maybe the fake article on VotF was actaully hinting to Spirit Tracks, but yet in a more exagerated manner.

Now, mentioning how VotF is a prequel to TWW, and how possibly VotF hinted towards some tidbits towards Spirit Tracks, now I'm thinking about the post flood comment.

WHAT IF there's a flood in Spirit Tracks? We don't know where this land came from, we don't know how Zelda comes back, how the castle she's in comes back. MAybe it's old hyrule? We don't know. Idea's are still up in the air.

What if this trilogy of TWW, PH, ST is just one big PARADOX?

To my knowledge up to this point, after reviewing that fake article on VotF and reading the info on spirit tracks, I believe that this trilogy may possibly be a paradox and it explains how the flood came about.

Discuss.

What do you mean by 'paradox' good sir?

Are you implying that ST will come before tWW? At the moment anything's possible...

By paradox I mean in order to continue forward, you are actually going backwards.

And yeah I'm summing up that ST comes before TWW.

I still don't get what exactly the paradox is, but I agree that at this point of time ST can literally go anywhere.

I think it's most likely to be after PH seeing as all we have is pre-release statements. Though these are hardly set in stone.

No heroe appear between OOT-WW. At the end of OOT link return to his childhood.
When ganondorf escape the seal, link don't appear, that's why the goddeses flood hyrule.
Link appear in ST,spirit tracks can't take place between OOT-WW.

GAME OVER

Not if, as the OP suggests, it carries on Project Deluge and that it's not actually Link but a crazy guy thinking he's Link.

Unlikely as it was a hoax, but possible

a crazy guy who think that is link, and at the end of the game he can't save hyrule, so we don't win at the end of the game. mmm NO! No in a zelda game developed by nintendo.
Proget deluge is just fanfiction, leave that crap.

GAME OVER.

Okay, Valley of the Flood would be better than like all but 3 Zelda games if they did it right and if it exists. Spirit Tracks is going to just be another typical Zelda game.

I wish this theory had more than a 0 percent chance of being right though...

You see, everyone? smallville boy can't theorize. He just tells everyone that they are wrong and goes back to his little hidey-hole.

Anyway, I think a paradox for this theory could be that it takes place before WW, but at the last moment, goes to the future, after WW, thus cannot confront Ganondorf. Or something of the like.

Link will never lose, not when Nintendo makes a game. Smallville has had his first correct here.

I AGREE with you all, but I can not say we are definitely RIGHT.


I'd say there's 99.9% chance it's nothing to do with deluge

THIS IS WHAT IM GETTING AT!

Listen, to my understanding, Project Deluge was infact a fake, HOWEVER, I believe it gave us some hints towards spirit tracks, the steampunked atmosphere and trains being the two things. Now, the flood aspect is crawling in.

We don't know how this new land in spirit tracks appears, or is found. We don't know how Zelda reappears, or the castle shes in. For all we know, it just magically appeared. And if VotF portrayed some info for Spirit Tracks, what if the whole setting before the flood applies to ST.

This is where I'm getting at with the idea of the trilogy being a paradox. (Paradox - a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that may in fact be true.)

What if by advancing further into this trilogy, we're actually discovering how the flood happens, or originates. Yes I know it's very absurd, but the reason I'm getting at this is because I believe VotF hinted to ideas for ST.

Remember how one of the earlier Zelda's ended with it all being a dream? That's pretty absurd isn't it?

So is this.

Dude, Project Deluge was blatantly fake. The "interview" that went with it even specified that the main character would be a black-haired man who dressed in green and thought that he was Link/special.

steampunked atmosphere in ST? WTF Is just a single steampunk train, nothing more, the atmosphere still is medieval like all zeldas. PH features a steampunk ship, ST just follow that idea, not Project deluge idea.

So you've played the game and know what the overworld is like then? That's odd, the game doesn't come out until December.

I was referring to smallville boy's first post. I'm a little slow at typing. My point was that he never theorizes. Every time I see him post, it has nothing to do with theorizing on what's in the original post and he just turns the theory down. In this case, the OP was asking for people to theorize on what similarities there could between VotF and ST and speculate on what ST could be about and all smallville boy said was that VotF was a hoax. That doesn't help at all and it is a waste of space on these forums.

You see what I'm getting at? It's almost like he's trying to make everyone feel bad.

hyrule field, hyrule castle,

Unfortunately not confirmed Hyrule yet, SVB. Will be soon no doubt, but New Hyrule still not YET confirmed.... soon, my pretties, soon.

Yeah, green grass, hills, tracks, that tree off in the distance, real signs of Medieval alright that's for damn sure.

Nice.

On a side note



Dis castle looks just like the one in TWW. >_> I was under the impression that this game took place after TWW/PH though
