LA Before or after OOS/OOA?

Actually the sacrafice was never complete to bring him back to full power.

Right, so he was not revived at full power. You still destroyed him in the end (that's right, destroyed).

Check the text dumps for the endings. That's the only dam game out there so far where Ganon has been destroyed.

It doesn't need to be plainly stated that he is destroyed for him to have been.

Next threat at your homeland. Tell me what that means to you.

Assuming Hyrule is his homeland, it means he is preparing incase Hyrule becomes threatened. If you feel there is any more significance to this line, I would like to hear it. I still don’t see why you keep bringing it up.

Lex, I am arguing that the Oracles replaced ALttP as the prequel to LA. I believe that LA and Oracles Link are the same, and ALttP Link stands alone.

Which would be nice, except Oracle Link never fulfilled a "prophecy of the legendary hero".

Also, no more than two games ever feature the same Link. Ever.

Sure it does. Than fools like you can't claim falsly evidence.

VEry good point. NOw what TheKyle?

WOW, lol, alot of discussion here ^^. um. lets see if I can help in any way. lets put the facts together.

WHY OOA/S CANT BE A PREQUEL TO LA:

- Miyamoto confirmed that ALTTP and LA link are the same. If this is true, Link should have known Zelda in OOA/S, yet he did not.
- Whatever you say, at the end of OOA/S, Link wanted to return to hyrule. He had to protect it after all. Why spend years on a ship (That looks different from LA's ship), when he is wanting to go home?!
- LA's Link does NOT have the triforce symbol on his hand, OOS/A Link does.
- The nightmares in LA are the same as the BOSSES, not minibosses, as ALTTP. True, the nightmares are featured in OOS/A, but only as little minibosses. I doubt Link would have terrible nightmares about those.
- Like Lex said, the same Link has never been featured in more than 2 games.
- Again like Lex said, Link never forfilled any legendary prophecy. Sure OOA/S was a quest, an adventure, but not a legendary hyrulian prophecy.
- Finally, if you look at the two ships, the sails are different. LA's ship has one sail, OOA/S has 3. the decks are different too.

PS: Here you go. Don't go telling me he just "lost" the triforce on his hand.

LA takes place when he is shipwrecked on his way back to Hyrule.

Finally, if you look at the two ships, the sails are different. LA's ship has one sail, OOA/S has 3. the decks are different too.

The ships are identical. The sails are folded in LA's ship because he's in a storm.

What about the triforce logo? and I know when LA takes place, but OOX Link looks a hell of a lot younger than LA Link, you can't be seriously telling me that he takes YEARS to get back to hyrule, while it took Zelda only a couple of weeks at most in the linked version to get to Holodrum/Lybrinna

And maybe the ship looks the same, but that doesn't mean it's the same ship. Go to a harbor, you'll see tons of seemingly identical ships.

I agree that OOX takes place in the same time period as ALTTP/LA, because his shield is the same, the boat looks the same, and it makes the most sense, but I refuse to believe it's the same guy. Again, the triforce on his hand doesn't just vanish into thin air.

OoS/OoA take place over years. Bipin and Blossom's child grows from infant to young adult over the span of the games.

So you're saying that LA link and OOX link are the same link?

I'm confused, you say that it can't be the same link (oos ooa and LA) Since he don't seem to have a triforce. but, he got the triforce in ALTTP???

No, he got the actual triforce at the end of Alttp, but he has the sign of the triforce on his hand, meaning that... eh.. what did it mean again.. either that he is destined for greatness.. or bearer of the triforce of courage.. or.. hm. ill look into that. But the thing is, in ALTTP he gets the real thing, in OOX he gets the sign on his hand, which he doesnt have in LA.

Well, Triforce or not, there's a fatal flaw in the theory of ALttP Link and Oracles Link being the same person. Basically, it's due to the fact that Zelda meets Link in ALttP and doesn't have any idea who he is in a linked Oracles file. Therefore, they cannot be the same Link. I'm pretty sure this must have been mentioned in the last two pages of this thread, but I don't feel like reading through thirty posts.

why did lex changed of mind =s....im agree with Romero

EDIT:
there could be the posibility of OOA/S were first that AlttP
its doesnt a rule that 1 link being in more than 2 games

Why do many people connect the Oracles to ALttP/LA? It's not possible! In the Oracles Twinrova summons Onox and Veran from the Dark World. In ALttP the Dark World is purified.

It do, however, fit perfectly with LoZ/AoL. Ganon's death? Check. The re-uniting of the Triforce? Check. Precense of the Dark World? Check. Also, let's not forget that originally the Oracles were supposed to be a remake of LoZ and AoL, with a third game about the Triforce of Power.

I think she actually does recognize Link.

Let's say they haven't seen each other in a long while and Zelda just wants to make sure. And how would she know Link's name anyway.

It's not ALttp Dark World (aka. Sacred Realm) but a dark dimension that has nothing to do with the Golden Land.

It do, however, fit perfectly with LoZ/AoL. Ganon's death? Check. The re-uniting of the Triforce? Check. Precense of the Dark World? Check. Also, let's not forget that originally the Oracles were supposed to be a remake of LoZ and AoL, with a third game about the Triforce of Power.

AoL and LoZ feature the Underworld Which is not a seperate dimension but an actual underground wolrd. And by this time The Sacred Realm would surely have recovered and reverted to it's natural state.

In Oracles, there is no mention of the Dark World at all. Hell, there's no mention of a "world" or "dimension" of darkness. Ganon was apparently drawn from death towards the flames but no specific details of the otherworld are given.

Yeah if there is then i must have missed something
