How does the SW work out on a CT-Placement?

The top-view doesn't show the forests behind Death Mountain, which are there in the in-game level. Not saying that the top-view isn't canon, just that it's not perfect.

This shadowy mirror world which isn't supposed to exist yet, mind you.

FSA is more recent than ALttP; therefore, FSA's depiction trumps ALttP's outdated story.

Does anybody have a pic of the view from the Palace of Winds in MC. The one with the two islands? If so i'd like it if someone posted it, i just realized something about the shape of the one island.

There's a Palace of Winds background near the bottom

Pinecove:
Your logic is baised as you place LoZ/AoL directly after FSA.

Nope. Not at all. It's the other way around. This was part of the evidence WHY I put LoZ after FSA. You should say 'Your timeline's biased because you believe this as evidence.'

There is NO evidence I chose to accept or not AFTER I built my most recent timeline. There is no bias involved- even towards my previous timeline, as that was single and thus was blown COMPLETELY out of the water!

Thank you so much. For future reference how do you do a link like that. Anyway, is it just me or does the island in the Upper left look like the FSA map from the sky?

Zora if i'm right and the island to the left is FSA hyrule than what do you think the island directly below the palace of winds is? I think i do!

No problem!

First you find the site you want to link to. Go up into the address bar and click it. Once you have the site's entire address highlighted, copy it.

Next, you write something down, highlight the words you want to make a link and then click the "Insert Link" button (paperclip thingy with the earth behind it). Paste into the box that pops up the address of the site which you copied earlier. After that you should have some words that link to a new page!

Honestly I don't put much strength in those islands, even though it helps my theory, I really don't think it can be considered strong evidence. Background sprites good timelining does not make.

Nevertheless Zora it is interesting. Thanks Ashanark.

Green = Forest. You can't expect the devs to program things like trees into that. If you look at and near the village of the blue maiden, it's pretty obvios that that's forest.

Retcon then?

I reeeeeeaaaaaaly don't like retcon beyond 'oh look that rock's moved' and will resort to anything before that. Claiming retcon really is a slippery slope as how far do we go? We get to the point we can retcon anything to make it fit.

Retconning developer intention is acceptable... vaguely.... as human perception can change in time. Programmed data can not.

But if you really feel like you must retcon to explain something...

Exactly. It's the reason I believe in a loss of land over FSA's map being surrounded by mountains.

What is your current timeline at the moment, out of interest, Pinecove? Not to derail the topic but to get some insight?

I'm only including the main 14 games, because then you won't argue with me. Plus it makes for less acronims.
