The same Zelda?

[Andrew/link]

This morning I was playing AoL when a thought hit me. In OoT, did Zelda maybe have an older brother? If so, It may have been that Zelda that was cast into a deep sleep by the magician and awakened by Link in AoL! If I am completely wrong about that, please let me know.

The Triforce is not in Hyrule Castle in OoT and the King does not have it as he does in the AoL backstory.

Do you think the triforce could have been moved to the castle and placed under the authority of the king after Link 1 saved the kingdom?

In TLOZ&AOL we have two princces zelda, the spleep one and the zelda that we see in the first game(TLOZ). But that two princess zeldas are a diferent zeldas than the OOT princess zelda, are zeldas from a different stoys and a different chronologys.

No, because in the OoT Child Ending, the Triforce of Courage mark is glowing on Link's hand.
Thus the Triforce is somehow split [Ganon has ToP, Zelda has ToW, Link has ToC] even though it should be in the Sacred Realm.
Here is one possibility of why it's split.

so... what happened to the triforce of power after ganon was sent to the sacred realm? Did he keep it? or was it inherited to someone else?

He kept it.
He still had it in WW once the seal on the Sacred Realm was broken.

Do you know/understand the split timeline?
If not I suggest you read http://www.zeldauniverse.net/forums/...heorizing.html

But to sum it up, OoT creates a split.
Ganon is sealed in the Sacred Realm [with the ToP] and eventually he escapes which causes WW.
This is the adult timeline.

On the Child Timeline, Link goes back to being a kid, and warns Zelda about what Ganondorf is trying to do, so Ganondorf gets stopped before he ever gets into the Sacred Realm.
This leads into MM and TP.

Ya he definately has it. He keeps it all the way till TP...does he lose it then? because it does fade away in the end scene. Watch and see

TP and WW are on opposite timelines.
He loses it at the end of WW also, by the way.

We know that it was an earlier Princess Zelda whom the magician cast the spell on some centuries prior to The Adventure of Link (meaning there's now two Zeldas awake and running around by the end of that game), but we still don't know which one it was, specifically.

Very likely it was a Princess Zelda who lived at some point around or after the events of Twilight Princess and A Link to the Past, and whose body got moved northward to the new North Castle when Hyrule's seat of government relocated prior to the NES games.
