ALTTP timelie placement.

this may have been discussed before, and i may be terribly wrong in some places(there is at least one where I think i may be), but this is just something i noticed.

up until now, i have always placed, and seen placed, ALTTP on the child side of the split timeline, but after playing throught the game again, but really paying attention to the story etc., i have found that it would be impossible to place ALTTP on the child side of the timeline. Firstly, in the prologue of the game, it tells the story of ocarina (this is supported by nintendo when they said that OoT was the backstory, if i have the meaning of the word correct(i found the quote in a magazine, and can't remember what issue it was in), to ALTTP), that a portal to the sacred realm was found, and opened, but evil started to issue forth from the portal. the king ordered seven sages to seal the portal, however, if it was placed on the childs side of the timeline, the opening never happened, never mind the sealing of it again.

Alos, in most of my timelines, i have ALTTP linked to FSA (i have not played FS, and not completed FSA, this is mostly based on information i have found from research on the internet.), because of Ganon's return at the end of FSA(as before, i have not completed it, and this may not be possible, because the way i'm interpreting ALTTP, at the start ganon hasn't broken ut of the sacred realm yet). if FSA isn't tied to ALTTP, ALTTP could be the breaking out of ganon in the prologue of WW, somebody please help either support this theory with more evidence, or prove me wrong(the latter would be more desirable).

That developer statement may or may not still be true today, it depends on your views. I can see this turning into another Seal War debate very quickly, so I'll just say this. Whether ALttP's BS is OoT or not is entirely up to you. There is plenty of evidence for both sides, so you decide.

Personally, I place ALttP on the adult timeline because of how FSA ties into it rather well, and I place FSA on the adult side.

i don't know how old the quote is, but i know the magazine is probably not even a year old yet, cus' the magazine only started in feb. 2006, so the reliability, as you say, could be dodgy.

They way I see it, it can go to either side of the timeline and work well there. It really depends on what facts you base your views on, and what you choose to leave out.

It's my opinion that it works best in the Child Timeline, since the ocean doesn't have to go away, the land doesn't have to come back, stuff like that. Also, the Master Sword in the Lost Woods in Twilight Princess works nicely. There are good arguments for both sides though, and only time will tell.

Thats one thing that I've always wondered if was made on purpose. If you look at a map of FSA Hyrule and ALttP Hyrule, it appears that FSA Hyrules land is emerging from lowering waters, what could possibly be from the Flooding.

Really, it can work to either side, it just depends on how you structure and explain you theory.

its possible that the master sword was moved from castle town shortly after the adult ending in OoT, the moved moved around the same time in the child timeline, so that makes fairly godd sense.

Yes I belive this too. I also place it on the child side because I belive FSA comes on the child side of the timeline. Don't ask for any evidance because it's my bombers theory.

Oh and arcanine ... LEARN TO SPELL please...

i place it before WW in my timeline, and after MC, FS and FSA, which I place after OoT.

sorry for the spelling, i type relatively fast, and it was late at night where i live when i posted.
