A Link to the Past Triforce

Alrighty, it occurs to me that Link does get the triforce at the end of ALttP. And I was wondering -

If somebody gets the triforce shouldn't it go at the end of the timeline?

I'm not really trying to prove anything unless I get some more information or something, I just want some more information or something to prove something.

If ALttP precedes AoL, which seems un likely, the triforce was gathered, but while wisdom and power were left in the castle (which Ganny stole) and this warrior who had the triforce hid courage. I think it said that in AoL.

But yes, I see ALttP near the end of one, if not both of the time lines. OoX could come after, as we see the complete triforce in Hyrule castle. Actually... your on to something right now. Hold up.

By the way, don't reply to this, I explained my self horribly. I'll re post later.

See my (or River Zora's) timeline.

Although, I don't see how that would indicate a late timeline placement. Care to elaborate?

Well the goal of many (seen in the great cataclysm) people fight over the Triforce. And the event of one getting one seems like an end. As well as the fact that it says in-game that an evil one who touches the Triforce will make it split in three (which Ganondorf did) but one with a pure heart will be granted a wish. And as it seems logical, Link would have a pure heart. And I would assume he'd wish for a perfect world, where no Zelda Game could really come after. Then again there's the whole theory that he wished he could go to a different world, and then making OoA and OoS proceeding ALttP. So basically he could wish anything, but,

you see what I mean, right?

Yeah, that makes sense. In ALttP it says something like "if someone with a pure heart touches the Triforce, Hyrule will enter a Golden Age of prosperity."

Hmm...

Maybe ALttP should go at the end of the timeline.

Maybe. Miyamoto did say that the order was "OoT - LoZ/AoL - ALttP".

Or it could be possible that somehow the golden age of prosperity ended. But I can't imagine what game would come really after.

Wait a second, it said, "Hyrule would enter a golden age of prosperity"

I think that the only possible game that could come after it is LA. Because it's not in Hyrule! Did I just prove that Link's Awakening comes after A Link to the Past?

I'm pretty sure OoX isn't in Hyrule.

Age =/= Eternity

This Golden Age of prosperity that Link brings about by touching the Triforce at the end of ALttP does not guarantee longevity of said age. ALttP should only be the last game to feature the Master Sword, unless Nintendo decides to forego the quote: "And the Master Sword Sleeps Again...FOREVER!"

If somebody gets the triforce shouldn't it go at the end of the timeline?

I reckon so. Or at least the last of the storyline begun in OoT with all the battles for the Triforce. Perhaps the non-Triforce central games can happen afterwards, but I reckon after getting the Triforce that ends the 'OH NOES IT'S BROKED----HURRAY WE'VE FIXED IT!' arc.

Of course there could be put a whole nother 'OH NO IT BROKE AGAIN' arc afterwards.

In AoL the Triforce was pretty much completed too... Even if we never know if someone (Link or Zelda) stays with all the pieces, the whole Force was with the "good guys"... And the game seems to imply that Link would be the next Great King, and rule Hyrule using the True Force.

An age os prosperity will never last forever...

I think this is what I've proven, ALttP comes near the end of the timeline. Either LA or OoX proceeds it. I think that it is more likely for Link's Awakening to proceed it, because it seems as if it's Link's adventures continued and wanted in another land in LA, the same Link from ALttP.

LA could very well be after ALttP. Don't say that preceeding it is more likely because that's always very debatable until proven otherwise. And that proof would need to come without a shadow of a doubt about its placement.

True, I just think I've proven that ALttP comes near the end of the timeline, not right after OoT.

The Adventure of Link deals with two golden ages - the one in the backstory, and the implied one after the ending. A Link to the Past's ending, with Link claiming the Triforce, seems to have been a set up by the developers for the Royal Family's possession of the Triforce in the Adventure backstory.

Welcome to ZU!

Just so you know, Shigeru Miyamoto said before that the order is LoZ/AoL - ALttP.

I've always assumed that ALttP goes at the end of the timeline anyways, parallel to LoZ. Which brings me to my next point:

If you believe in a singular timeline or a timeline with most, if not all, games on a single side of the timeline.
i.e: AT:OoT-WW/PH-all other games somehow go over here
CT:OoT/MM-TP
or
AT:OoT-WW
CT:OoT/MM-TP-all other games somehow go over here

You've been saying this a lot lately. I find it kind of ironic that you (of all people, who have a timeline with ALttP and LoZ parallel) keep quoting Shigeru Miyamoto. You don't even have a heavily split timeline like the two above.

EDIT:Oh, and Freeq, welcome to ZU!

I'm just trying to point everyone in the right direction.

Thing is, the Miyamoto timeline doesn't really hold up for me under scrutiny, and I don't believe Miyamoto has ever shown much of an interest in the timeline anyway, even when he headed the series. I imagine that order was probably just an off-the-cuff response to the interview question.

For the record, my current timeline is a toss-up between

.............- WW/PH
MC - OoT
.............MM - TP - FS/FSA - LttP/LA - LoZ/AoL - OoX

and

............................- WW/PH
MC - FS/FSA - OoT
.............................MM - TP - LttP/LA - LoZ/AoL - OoX

I'm leaning more towards the later placement for the Four Swords games though.
