Skyloft = New Hyrule???

So at the end of PH, Link and Tetra discover the New Hyrule. This is obviously a giant landmass floating on the Great Sea. We also know that before the Great Flood occured, there was a floating landmass above Old Hyrule known as "Skyloft" (SS)... So, when the Old Hyrule was flooded and the water level rose, could it have risen to the height of Skyloft? Could the land of Skyloft be the New Hyrule that was discovered by Link in PH?

Side Note, Skyloft being the New Hyrule on the AT would be parallel to the theory of the City in the Sky being Skyloft on the CT. Thoughts?

I was totally thinking the same thing!! But, in order for Skyloft to be an abandoned landmass in both the AT and CT would mean that the "Skyloftians" would have to be wiped out before the timeline split in OoT... I'm gonna guess SS will shed some light on this. Nonetheless, a nice theory that deserves some speculation.

since we don't know pretty much anything about the game, i'd say it's just another Ordon Village from TP...

In essence thats probably what it is, but I just think they're putting a tad too much emphasis on it for it to not play a major role.

If Skyloft was New Hyrule you have to take account for the Demon and Spirits war that waged for a looong time prior to Tetra and crew showing up at the end of the conflict. Exactly when did Maladus and his demons invade Skyloft? Are some of the native peoples of New Hyrule the remnents of the Skyloftians?

Good point. Who knows, maybe Skyward Sword is the story of Malladus XD..doubtful. This is all speculation until SS comes out anyway. Still an interesting idea though.

The Great Sea in TWW is above the entirety of OoT Hyrule, so I doubt Skysoft is from more far out where New Hyrule is.

Skyloft doesn't fit Zelda lore at all. So it really doesn't matter what it is. What don't you get about OoT being the first in the series? >_>

How does Skyloft not fit "Zelda lore" ?

Because it doesn't. There are 2 worlds in Zelda, Sacred Realm and Hyrule. Even Termina is probably just another continent.

...it looks like someone doesn't know a whole lot about Zelda's lore.

Do I dare feed the troll? And what do you say to a statement that is just plain wrong.

There's plenty of evidence that the Twilight Realm is a seperate 'world' from either the Sacred Realm or Hyrule. And Termina was definately stated as being a parrallel world to Hyrule, not a seperate continent.

That's if you take other games after Ocarina of Time as cannon.

There is a clear difference between pre-ocarina and post-ocarina games. Ocarina of Time was the beginning of a bridge in the Zelda series. All it needed was 1 game to bridge ALttP and Zelda I and II to the beginning, Ocarina of Time. And instead of that bridge, we got Majora's Mask and Wind Waker from Aonuma.

It's personal opinion so I guess I shouldn't be here, but post-ocarina of Bull.

There is a clear difference between pre-ocarina and post-ocarina games? Please explain to me because so far the only game i can think of coming before OoT is SS or LoZ

^What do you mean (post)-OoT, game-wise, OoT is in no means one of the first games. Timeline wise, yes it is, and there is no way LoZ could be before OoT in the timeline.

Game-wise however, there're quite a few before OoT. Just to name a few, LoZ, AoL, ALttP, and LA. Not to mention remakes, the series was around twelve-thirteen years in age by the time OoT was released.

*sigh* A few things I have to say, okay, mainly two.

One: SS is rumored, and strongly hinted, to take place a few hundred years before OoT, so now it could not be New Hyrule.

Two: In ST they discovered New Hyrule, and Hyrule was under the ocean. The tips of Hyrule peaked above the sea, and Skyloft was obviously a lot higher than a couple of mountains, which means that ST Hyrule is New Hyrule, and Skyloft is either gone with Hyrule, was the peaks in WW, or is still in the sky.

This.

Skyloft is obviously somewhere in the sky that compares to where the Oocca or the Wind Tribe live (and perhaps evolved from, assuming the Skyloftians provide an origin for those two races.) The islands on the great sea on the other hand are the tops of mountains.

Full Stop.

Everything before OoT dealt with Hyrule. Everything after OoT deals with trains, and sky continents, and picori, and the Twilight Realm, and everything that doesn't have anything to do with Zelda.

Aonuma, please make your own series and stop ruining Zelda.

And Zelda I and II obviously happen at the end of Hyrule's history.

Yes that would be you.

^Double post, please use edit next time. (Lol, rent-a-mod much?) Aunoma in no way "destroyed" the Zelda series, at least he's adding some new elements.

And where in the timeline would LoZ and AoL be the end? AT or CT? Please, next time stay on topic, or at least have a post that means something other than "Aunoma, stop adding new things."

The would have most likely had trains without him at any rate.

Ignoring the troll.. I do agree with the fact that Skyloft would be above the mountains, but if it's not new Hyrule, then where did it go?

goodpoint eman hmmmmmm
