Here is all that needs to be known of the Zelda "timeline"

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.

Stupid Aunoma Zelda timeline story why is he enabling psycho Zelda fans who want a set timeline.

“Yes there is a master timeline but its confidential document!   The only people to have access to that document are myself, Mr. Miyamoto and the director of the title. We cant share it with anyone else! "

Clearly that is a joke, there is no timeline he is just messing with the crazy fans.

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.

Anyone else interested or intrigued by Limbo?

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.

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!

Well, when you think about it, all the characters in Final Fantasy look the same so it's kind of the same thing, right? Nyaa

Sexy but talentless all-girl band. . .  not to be sexist but isn't that redundant?  That pretty sums up every all-girl band ever.

Eh ... NO!

Throwing Muses and Belly, to name a couple of sexy and well talented girl bands

That girl group Dead Can Dance are pretty good at what they do....but yeah there's not really any girl groups that I can take serious. Even some bands I really like that have girl members, like Arch Enemy....I mean they were better without the chick singer.

Dead Can Dance was a man and woman duo

WTF really? Why did I always think it was two chicks? LOL

Just checked out the Limbo demo.

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

Graphics card employee fuels the flames of hate:
http://gizmodo.com/5593116/were-pc-gamers-too-good-for-microsofts-cross+platform-gaming-project

I've heard from reliable sources that during the development they brought together the best console gamers to play mediocre PC gamers at the same game... and guess what happened? They pitted console gamers with their "console" controller, against PC gamers with their keyboard and mouse.

The console players got destroyed every time. So much so that it would be embarrassing to the XBOX team in general had Microsoft launched this initiative.

This guy sounds like, and you'll only get this if you assiduously watched the original BBC The Office, of the IT guy who describes how h was once kicked out of a Kart track for being too good of a racer. (link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geZoES9KQ-Q ) Starts at 1:17.
