LCT's Canonicity

So what are your opinions on whether or not LCT is canon? I personally, don't think it is canon, but if it was confirmed otherwise, my TL would not be affected in any way.

Eh, sure, why not?
Miyamoto compared it to Majora's Mask, in terms of relevancy.

Damn, that was quick!

Personally I HATE the fact all the meaningless side-stories which have canonicity debates are easier to place than any of the unconfirmed 'real' games.
AST, LCT etc.

It's not even funny ¬_¬

okay, WHAT does AST stand for? anyway, I do think it's cannon, but if it isn't, I can live with that.

Ancient Stone Tablets I believe. The direct sequel to ALttP I think.. LCT trainin is just like MM in a sense so if MM counts LCT should as well.

First, what actually happens in LCT? Is it just Link shooting some arrows? Then sure, why not?

Oh and I consider AST to be canon, I like games that are direct sequels

Link runs around killing monsters with a medieval machine gun for no reason at all. Yeah, that really sounds canon.

uhh I already made a thread on this, but watever

I would say it is canon based on the arguments you can find here:

So you're saying that running around and randomly killing things makes something non-canon? Then practically every time I play zelda I'm de-canonizing it, sorry 'bout that!

Well, I don't see why not. Like everyone's been saying, it does what MM did for the timeline (as well as PH, LA, and FS). Absolutely nothing. All those games did was further the adventures of a particular Link. Even though it is considered a spin-off game, I don't see why it can't be canon.
Unlike (not to start a Ancient Stone Tablets debate on a Link's Crossbow Training thread) AST and the Tingle games, they don't even follow the adventures of Link. The same goes for BS: LoZ. You don't follow Link, you follow your own character. He has a baseball cap like in AST and you can only play as a Link-like character through certain patches.
And , of course,

And thank you, Fitoleon for bringing this post back.

O.e So, if it is Canon why does Stalord come back why are there bublins when their king gives up... This games doesn't make sense if it is canon. >.>

Yes, I do not want to discuss AST, I was just making the point that I link games that are direct sequels because there is no crazy theorizing (okay there might still be some...)

In regards to practically every zelda game:

O.e So, if it is Canon why does Ganon come back why are there moblins when their king gives up... This games doesn't make sense if it is canon. >.>

(Not mocking, just making a point )

Okay, maybe it IS mocking...

Ganon has the ToP. He can come back to life. Yaddah... Yaddah... He never gives up... .... He just dies... ... King Bublin actually tells Link that he is not going against the Hylians...

It also helps to be on the game designer's good side

Also, in Oracle of Ages, how come those nasty river Zoras attack you, even though the Zora King is nice to you? And also even though I defeated King Bublin, there are still bublins out in Hyrule Field out to get me, you are not physically forced to obey your king.

(I'm spelling bublins wrong arn't I?)

It is Bulblins.
Also, The River Zora's King is not nice to Link, He makes fun of him and makes him pay an outrageous price for flippers and you never see him again.
Maybe those Bulbins in Hyrule Field and in LCT didn't get the Memo.

Why does Gohma come back every damn game? Oh, it's a species, like Stallord.

Queen Gohma doesn't come back in every game. Queen Gohma is not a species and neither is stalord. -.- Nice try though Watties.
