theory that Ordon village was built right NEXT to old Hyrule town

i noticed the other day that Ordon village was built right NEXT to old hyrule town!
where the first dungeon is? that's where Ganondorf's castle was! the animals probably thought of building the temple...

the sacred grove is the ruins of old hyrule town!
where the Master sword is, was the temple of time! the sages probably switched the opening mechanism and made a prediction!
the Hylians probably thought that building it there again would probably bring bad luck, and probably finally the skull kid took in that place as his home! So, in theory, if, you look at a map of new and old Hyrule, and you turn the old map upside-down, you'll see new hyrule!

so, in conclusion, perhaps the landscape of Hyrule may've changed a bit, but it really is old Hyrule, a bit changed, with a new Hyrule town and perhaps changed Kakariko village, but still the same...

and the fountains? they're probably the creations of the sages to keep Hyrule safe...

and that's my theory of LoZ!

Ganondorf never got to take over Hyrule Castle...
Hyrule Castle in TP is meant to be The Hyrule Castle In OOT...

Looking at your argument quantitatively:

i noticed the other day that Ordon village was built right NEXT to old hyrule town!
This is your argument. I will assume that everything that follows is or attempts to be evidence to support your argument.

where the first dungeon is? that's where Ganondorf's castle was! the animals probably thought of building the temple...
If we are to conclude a split timeline, which Aonuma seems to support, and we are to conclude that TP is in the Child timeline, which is inevitable in a split timeline, then there is no "Ganondorf's castle" for the first dungeon to be built upon the ruins of. Sans a split timeline, this is a nice sentiment, though.

the sacred grove is the ruins of old hyrule town!
Really? Where are all the other buildings? Ruined homes/shops/a castle, etc.?

where the Master sword is, was the temple of time! the sages probably switched the opening mechanism and made a prediction!
1) Yes, the ruins are of the Temple of Time.
2) Yes, it's obvious that different measures are in place to guard the Master Sword.
3) No, the sages didn't "probably" switch the opening mechanism. We don't know why you can enter it differently. Not a bad sentiment, though; it's a good idea. In a "I think this happened" sort of way; not in a "this is definitely most logically what happened" sort of way.

So, in theory, if, you look at a map of new and old Hyrule, and you turn the old map upside-down, you'll see new hyrule!
Death Mountain is to the southwest? Zora's Domain is to the south? The desert is to the east? Lake Hylia is to the north? etc. etc.


What I'd like to see added to your ideas is why it is evident that Ordon village is built on top of/next to the "old Castle Town", much less that there even is an "old Castle Town" (in a Child timeline, Castle Town was never shown to ever have been destroyed). From my perspective, it seems more fitting that Ordon is just a larger Lon Lon Ranch, and that forests have now begun to spread/were always there, but never shown in OoT.

However, it's obvious that you're not a timeline guru or anything, so feel free to stick to your own view of the series, no matter who disagrees with it. They're games, they're supposed to speak to the imagination.

Lex, you really believe that Ordon Village used to be Lon Lon Ranch? I didn't think it was positioned correctly for that. I thought that Link married Malon and founded the place, allowing in normal humdrum humans, something close to what Impa did with Kakariko Village. [Note: I am not shipping here; I simply believe that it is most logical that he marry her from in-game evidence.]

I didn't say I necessarily think that; I said it "seems more fitting."

I agree that if Link got hitched to anyone we see in OoT, it was probably Malon (nice segue between OoT and TP).

*doesn't see the evidence for Link marrying Malon,nor that they founded Ordon*
Please elaborate

Aside from Princess Ruto, Malon is the only female character in OoT with whom a marriage to Link is toyed with explicitly. In the same scene, Talon requests that Link come to live/work on Lon Lon Ranch after viewing his skills. Two features of OoT that were entirely optional became a central part of future games (MM and TP, with Epona's song and Epona).

Gee, I wonder...?

Well, since Link is in Ordon Village, there is some reason to suspect that OoT Link reproduced. Ordon Village has a ranch with a horse named Epona. There are children named Malo and Talo in town. There are many references to Malon there. She was certainly more accessible to Link than Zelda, desiring "a knight in shining armor" according to a Gossip Stone, and being offered in marriage to Link jokingly. Plus, he is not as compatible with Ruto.

It is also possible that any other vaguely possible love interests, since they were all sages, could not marry anyone. It is also thought that Ganondorf was the reason that they did not know of this before (in possible future), and therefore would know in normal development in the Child Timeline.

This is not a definitive argument, but it is a strong hint. Heck, I doubt Link would want to marry someone who was completely mixed up in all that crazy stuff he did in his younger years. But that is my opinion, and not canon. It does explain things a bit better than anything else I can think of.
