*crickets*
The OoT and MM Link are the same link.
WW Link comes after MM Link who knows how far into the future, it doesn't matter. Obviously PH comes next, not sure if ST follows any timeline.
TP Link comes after OoT Link what it has to do with WW is irrelevant, its an alternate dimension if you want.
Alttp Link, who cares when it fits, all we know is that it should come before Zelda 1 and Zelda 2. Alttp Link is the same link in LA.
And that is it. The rest are separate stories. None of it has to connect. They are different tales of the legend.
No... don't you understand man? It was all planned out from the beginning. In fact, they were all made at the same time, and they are being revealed unto us as the master has decided.
*tee-hee!*
Bastard!
It's getting rave reviews. Looks like the next Braid...maybe even better than Braid. To me, it looks like a creepy A Boy and His Blob!
I definitely want to check it out. $15 seems like a lot for it since it's only 3-4 hours long, but then again, I bought Super Mario games for $30-50, so it's a fair price when you think of it like that I guess.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Playing: Golden Sun Dark Dawn, God of War Ghost of Sparta, and DKC Returns
I would love to play it, but $15 does seem steep.
I really don't like this time-line, alternate dimension nonsense. And I hate how Nintendo says WW's Link is another Link in the future, maybe a descendant, etc.
It's a really stupid way to connect the series together. First, it makes no sense. Second, Nintendo is lazy when it comes to making coherent and memorable stories. And three, it's a cheesy cop-out and a poor excuse to keep the series going.
But I guess there's really no other way to keep the series going. I personally like sequels to be connected to each other so that way we can follow the characters more closely, which would also make the Zelda universe more in-depth. But I know that Zelda is more about gameplay and less about story.
Zelda's like Final Fantasy only they keep all the characters the same!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now Playing: Golden Sun Dark Dawn, God of War Ghost of Sparta, and DKC Returns
Perfect.
Well, when you think about it, all the characters in Final Fantasy look the same so it's kind of the same thing, right?

WTF really? Why did I always think it was two chicks?
Very artsy and creepy. It really is a creepy A Boy and His Blob but violent, scary, and without the Blob and cuteness!
I think you guys would love this. I think Leo would really enjoy this.
The bad thing is the game is pretty short and $15. But I will say this. I think this game is better, more creative, more unique, and more original than Braid.
Do I agree with the review scores? Well, I haven't played the whole game obviously, but I don't mind the score. I think for artistic achievement alone makes this game a gem.

Pfft
Vader for a Zelda fan, you hardly know anything about the lore
It goes like this
Oot adult time line => WW => PH => ST
Oot child time line => MM => TP
Oot adult time line => Lttp => LA => Zelda 1 => Zelda 2
MC => Four swords => Four sword adventures
Where the Oracle games fit in is anybody's guess
Actually Zelda had a clear timeline even after Oot and MM was released. Then Capcom happened and then Nintendo made WW. Now it is confusing as hell. Still better than the Mario time line though.
Metroid time line
Zero Missions => Prime => Prime Hunters => Prime 2 => Prime 3 => Metroid 2 => Super Metroid => Other M => Fusion
