Where is the Hero of Time??

Where is the Hero of Time??
Hey guys Anyone have a theory of where Link disappears to after Ganon comes back? Well if you have a theory please list them here. This is my theory.

After Majoras Mask, Link explorses this new world in search of his friend. He meets people he has met in Hyrule except they have different names and lifestyles. There is peace here and Link and Epona find the mirror image of Navi in a new dimension. He finds Ganons mirror copy too but he has a different attitude and lifestyle as well. He begins to live in this new dimension because he doesnt know how to escape after so many times trying to escape. There is also a Mirror image of hyrule however its in the same dimension Link is in so he believes he is home already.

If you guys have some theories dont be shy to share them.

I would have to say that Link would have found it easy to just do as you stated, but you know Navi was his true friend so I don't think he would've given up that easy. I bet there will be a continuation of the search for Navi in the future!

I really hope so Im tired of playing as these other Links instead of the Hero of time Link. And it would be great to play as young link again. Who knows maybe if they continue with the story then Ganon can die when he returns and hyrule wouldnt have to be sunk under the sea.

I really doubt we'll get another chance to play as the hero of time again (unless its a remake). Most Links only get two games tops and then a new tale comes along. I mean the reason he did not save Hyrule in the prologue of the Wind Waker (I believe I've said this before but ill try again)is he had been sent into the past, A new universe was created because he left the future and sealed the door of time. The time when he was an adult continued on, but not with him in it. Ganon was executed at the arbiter ground in the child time line insted of being sealed in the sacred realm.

I figure that after Link returns from MM, he realizes that his role in things is really important, so he trains accordingly. He becomes a Knight of Hyrule and spends his time escorting Zelda across the land. He and Malon eventually get married (I apologize to Linkx(insert sage here) fans!!!) And thus the line of the Links is started with their child. Pretty boring stuff, but then the game starts.

With the birth of Link's son, the Triforce of Courage is transfered to him, causing Link to be susceptible to Dark Magics. Ganon is able to send forth Aghanimh, who is able to seal Link using some kind of binding spell. Only the Triforce of Courage would be able to release the seal. Aghanimh tries to take the ToC to resurrect Ganon, but Young Link is able to separate it into 8 pieces (8 just seems like a number the Triforces like to be separated into) Each piece is held by one of the races (Hylian, Sheikah, Goron, Zora, Kokiri, Gerudo, Stalfos( and Skull Kids), and Fairy) Link's son must go and complete each race's task to be able to get the Triforce piece.

Link's son then races to Aghanimh's lair, and is able to free his dad, and they then fight together against Aghanimh. They defeat him, but Link is mortally wounded, and before he passes, he and his son do the pose that TP Link and the Ancient Hero do before sparring. Link then dies and a wolf's howl is heard the distance...

Sorry if that sounded too much like a short fanfic, but that is my idea.

I thought I already closed this thread in Future Zelda because it was similar to another thread. Oh well, I'll leave it for now.

I'm confused as to what you mean. If it's about Ganon's return in the future, Link couldn't come because he was living in a parallel timeline, with the Door of Time, "the road between times" being closed. Whether he returned to Hyrule after MM..my best bet would be yes. I do think he continued to be a Hero, at Zelda's side. My personal opinion is that he married Zelda, maybe ruling beside her before possibly meeting an untimely and premature death, resulting in the Hero's Shade.
Ganon's return in the adult timeline I would suspect is many years after Link's lifetime as well, reducing the chances he could come, even if he knew about it.

Thanks for leaving the thread up. Anyways I like Humulos idea but I have another theory

Before Link Left to Termina he gave the sages 1 piece of the triforce of Courage. He gave the last piece to princess Zelda. The sages and princess zelda thought it would be best if they hid it in different areas and made a map of where they were located so Link could return and locate the pieces. Since Link didnt come back Ganon took over hyrule and Hyrule then began to submerge under water taking the triforce pieces with it.

I know this is double posting but the other thread is asking if young link is the hero of time. Im asking just where he was before WW

Read my post, 3rd post on this page I stated where he was. If you need further evidence read into the split time line theory it explains it all!

gsarany, you're talking about the prolouge in WW, right? Then that has nothing to do with MM, since it's a different Timeline. Split timeline and all that stuff, you know.

In the child timeline, Link most likely passed down his piece through generations and TP Link used it in his quest.

Don't double post. Use the edit function on the bottom right of the post to add what you want to say.

Aonuma's interview actually said that WW is parallel to TP..meaning they may be occuring at the same time, but in alternate timelines. One timeline resulted from "yes, Link is sealed in the Sacred Realm for 7 years", the other from "No,
he's awake and living his childhood out." So what happened in one ( ToC being split ) does not affect the other. In child Link's time, the ToC was never split. I can see where the prologue of WW can cause confusion...I recall hearing a rumour that the translated Hylian actually says "he journeyed back through the flows of time"..or something along those lines, but I can't confirm that. Nevertheless..when Adult Link ceased to exist as he was sent back to become kid Link..that's when I believe that Triforce shattered.

^ Well there was also someone who had translated the tombstone in a TP trailer, which "proved" the game to be a WW sequel or something. Not saying you're wrong here, but personally I really don't trust translations at all.

Well I think TP is in a different dimension. I mean it would make no sense for Epona to come back and not Link. Doesnt make any sense. It makes sense why theres no Epona in WW

^ It's not Epona, it's another horse. TP isn't in another dimension, it's just in the child timeline. Like so:

......WW
...../
OoT
.....\
TP

For more information, visit this wonderful thread

The Horse In Twilight Princess is Epona. But if TP doesnt take place in an alternate dimension then wouldnt the Mirror of twilight be mentioned in previous zelda games? The sages say they guarded the mirror "since ancient times". Im sure if it was ancient it would have been around in WW or OoT. He dies at the end of Windwaker and then Phantom Hourglass is after the events of windwaker. How would Ganon be alive in TP if he died in WW? And if TP is connected to WW then how come Ganon doesnt have a scar where he wa stabbed with that sword from the sages. Theres so much evidence that TP is in an alternate universe. Look on youtube or play over your Zelda games, theres plenty proof.

^ Nope. You must've stumbled upon some weird theories. Look here for actual proof, even said to be true by aonuma himslef. He who also said that the horse in TP is not Epona, but not in this interview:

-When does Twilight Princess take place?
Aonuma: In the world of Ocarina of Time, a hundred and something years later.
–And the Wind Waker?
Aonuma: The Wind Waker is parallel. In Ocarina of Time, Link flew seven years in time, he beat Ganon and went back to being a kid, remember? Twilight Princess takes place in the world of Ocarina of Time, a hundred and something years after the peace returned to kid Link’s time. In the last scene of Ocarina of Time, kids Link and Zelda have a little talk, and as a consequence of that talk, their relationship with Ganon takes a whole new direction. In the middle of this game [Twilight Princess], there’s a scene showing Ganon’s execution. Link and Zelda left him be and he then did something outrageous, so it was decided that he should be executed. That scene takes place several years after Ocarina of Time. Ganon was sent to another world and now he wants to obtain the power...

I think that's enough said I could explain it further, but my guide that I linked to should explain well enough. It's easy to find the chapter about the split timeline, it's marked in red.
