So in BotW, Ganon stopped reincarnating so his soul was destroyed in the end instead. It feels like Nintendo ran themselves into a corner with Ganon, how would he be brought back in the sequel? Shouldn't they make a sequel to Four Swords Adventures since Ganon was sealed in that game?

The Japanese translation makes it appear more than the reincarnation comes at a cost, like constantly photocopying the same page deteriorates the image.

Both of them are basically the same. The Japanese doesn't actually say "for now," but it's definitely not saying that Ganon has been destroyed or that he'll never come back or anything. Also the Japanese says a *lot* more after that about what they have to do, and that's what the real focus of the line is.

On treehouse: They've been fucking stuff up for ages. This isn't new.
It's been a while since I've played it, but I remember in Wind Waker, one of the ghosts of the sages just straight up says "Ganondorf killed me so I ended up like this." In the English version, they twisted it around to "Ganondorf stole my soul," which makes no fucking sense because her soul is talking to you at that very moment. They also extremely fucked up a thing at the end where ganondorf quotes the triforce from a link to the past (i think, it's been a while), and they just generally rewrite NPC dialogue.
>>14508855
Ganon isn't a single entity, and he's not really a physical thing. It's Demise's pure butthurt manifesting in other people (though the only sure examples so far have been Ganondorf and whatever the fuck Calamity Ganon is). It will never go away until Hylia's bloodline is destroyed and Hyrule is destroyed completely.
de2b00 No.14508875

Ganon is the reincarnated avatar of primal god that existed before Hyrule was even founded.
You can't really kill him, but you can kill the avatar. I guess the Wind Waker ending could be a kind-of solution, where Ganon isn't killed but turned to stone at the bottom of the ocean. Ganon doesn't reappear in that timeline, the sequel has a new enemy on a new continent (although the new kingdom they found is still named Hyrule in honour of the old one).

Considering Spirit Tracks came out before Skyward Sword and the concept of Ganon's evil manifesting as anything other than Ganon, I'd be careful about jumping to any conclusions
>>14509127
There is a timeline, but they retroactively shoved spinoffs and games before the concept of a timeline into it. All of the 3D Zeldas very obviously are related to each other. Majora's Mask shows exactly what happens after Ocarina of Time to lead into it. Wind Waker opens with a cutscene that goes "After the hero killed ganon, he disappeared for some reason and hyrule got fucked and then this game happened." Twilight Princess doesn't directly state it, but it obviously takes place after Majora's Mask. Ganondorf was being executed because Link tattled on him when he returned to the past, the Skullkid guards the master sword because it's the one Link made friends with, etc. Skyward Sword was stated to be the "start" the entire time. The issue is when they made the official timeline, they didn't have the heart to tell people that their favorite zeldas weren't canon, so they shoved everything in somewhere, including the Capcom ones and four swords and stuff.

Is it specifically distinct from the concept of "soul" or just any kind of life energy, though?

Yes, but that doesn't answer what I'm asking. Words can have many meanings, especially in English, and someone can easily interpret "take life" as soul stealing or something similar.

Revival and reincarnation are different. He is simply revived in every game up until Four Swords Adventures, which is the first one where he reincarnated.

The sequel should be a prequel to BOTW that takes place during the 100 years where Link is asleep. It would focus on an OC character of the player's creation teaming up with other players in Hyrule to keep the peace while the hero is gone. So basically BOTW meets DBZ Xenoverse, with more fun stuff to do in the open world like weapon crafting, fishing, POH, randomly generated dungeons both solo and multiplayer, increased variety in enemies and bosses, server wide super bosses, real time day/night cycle based on the server's timezone, yearly seasons, an offline story mode, exc.

He's not. There's a vague 'spirit of the hero' each is the inheritor of but that can often be interpretted as just sharing common traits re:heroism.
On top of that only SS Zelda is the reincarnation of the goddess the rest are just her descendants thus have "divine blood".
Demise reincarnates into Ganondorf who is also Ganon. He's regularly killed than resurrected, or sealed away and breaks out so ultimately just the same guy always but one time between TP and FSA he reincarnates again into a Gerudo male.

In the midst of attempting to to broker an alliance between the Gerudo and Hylians, there is an attempt on Ganondorf's life by a Sheikah assassin. Link becomes a prime suspect of being involved because of his race, and is pursued by Ganondorf. Then the ending reveals that the assassination attempt was part of a greater conspiracy planned by not only Zelda and the Sheikah, but sympathizing Gerudo who understand that Ganondorf is the king of evil, in order to get Ganondorf and Link to turn on each other because only Link can seal Ganon. Both of them realize this by the time they fight each other, but they also understand at the same time that the are doomed to fight each other regardless of how close they are.

Not only do those events sound incredibly illogical, it's trying way too hard to be different from other Zelda games and way too hard to be tragic. And the being hunted aspect really seems to conflict with the whole open exploration aspect of the series.

Satan's right. They went to the trouble with the Hyrule Historia (during the development of Skyward Sword) to create a timeline for fans and then when they made the next game they themselves admitted they did not take the timeline in to consideration, they just made whatever they felt like without considering any continuity. They did reference previous games, suggesting it takes place in the future of those titles (Skyward, Time, Twilight) but they could just be considered nods and winks to fans instead of trying to establish some king of shit retarded continuity.
The Legend of Zelda should just be a story that is told and retold after generations, and the story changes with the telling.
How many versions of King Arthur are there? Plenty. We all know the main characters and the basic plot, but different tellings can be good or bad depending on what they do with the core material. Zelda should be the same. It should be treated as a malleable legend, not as a solid continuity.

Can I just say I'm just as tired of hearing this nonsensical stance as I am people holding the timeline to such high regard. Many of the games DO refer to past games, Zelda 2 is a DIRECT sequel for fuck's sake. Really the only games with enough in common to be seen this way are Link to the Past and Twilight Princess.

Yeah, stories in Zelda has never been the series' strongpoints, I don't know why some people are putting Zelda as some sort of rich-narrative game like Final Fantasy or Mass Effect. It is just like its older brother Mario where gameplay is the one that rules. It is probably due to Skywars Sword where Nintendo fucked it up when they enforced it to became a story-driven game.

In all honoesty though, I have not really enjoyed a Zelda game myself since spirit tracks which I admittedly played through in a single weekend. Skyward Sword was colossal shit however by the end of it, I at least appreciated the shenanigans of Groose.
Zelda is one of those games that seems to attract a colossal ammount of soy boys here in the west. So while I have fond memories of playing through Majoras Mask and Twilight Princess as a child, I am not exactly inclined to make my enjoyment of the series publicly known.
The game design has really not aged all that well in my eyes and the lore is admittedly shallow as it was never intended to be anything more complex than a childrens game. Despite this however, people seem to have this view of Zelda lore as being deep or whatever. Any of you ever tried to look at a Zelda “lore” video on youtube?

Obviously the direct sequels are an exception to the rule. You'd have to be a literal retard (who literally takes things literally in all circumstances like an autist) to think otherwise. Zelda 1 and 2 are linked. Oracles and Link's Awakening are linked. MM and OOT are linked. But the retelling of the core story (Link, Ganon, Zelda) is simply a retelling.

There were no Gerudo in MM, only pirates, and all the Gerudo in TP are dead, with the one exception of Ganondorf. The thing is, none of the games with living Gerudo take place long enough after OoT for another male to be born. BotW is the first game where it can be called into question.

And how many times has that happened? Ocarina of Time clearly happens in the backstory of Link to the Past. Wind Waker clearly happens in the future of Ocarina of Time. Skyward Sword clearly happens in the history of Twilight Princess. Really the closest you ever get to just redoing the story with no direct connections is Link to the Past, but that's the one people argue about the last.
>>14524089
The only games that take place after Link to the Past do not contain the Master Sword. Maybe the Oracle games but it's an optional item (and IIRC one that's pretty difficult to get) so you can just consider collecting it not canon to those games.

It literally is, per Aonuma, the combined memories of everyone on Termina whose lives are threatened by the Moon falling. It's Link channeling pure emotional self-preservation to fuck up the thing that's about to genocide the entire country, and I find that ten times cooler than it just being Link's Termina duplicate or some other similar nonsense. https://www.zeldadungeon.net/aonuma-answers-more-majoras-mask-questions-explains-whose-soul-is-inside-th/

This guy's a fag. Getting weapons is easy and you get new ones all the time from shrines and high-tier enemies, I've often found myself with too many weapons and not enough guys to kill with them, and hoarding the good shit defeats the purpose of having the good shit to begin with, this isn't some RPG where you have to save your best healing items for a boss fight, just stop being a pussy and hit shit. I always have my shield capacity maxed out as well because I get even more of those than weapons and they wear out a lot less fast, and they don't lose durability when surfing on snow and sand.
The shrine puzzle quality is questionable, though, and the enemy variety is total shit, I'll give him that. That's what I'm hoping they'll fix in the next installment. No Darknuts nor Iron Knuckles is bullshit. No Wallmasters (and no real dungeons to put the Wallmasters in). No Bombchus. No Bubbles. Nothing new at all sans the Guardians. Next game had better double or even triple the kinds of enemies there are.

Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about canon, and each game is its own disconnected story. Just because someone at Nintendo made a "timeline" in a fit of autism doesn't mean that the Zelda team is beholden to it.

16 in all, that sounds reasonable so long as they're all unique from each other. I also hope the Deku come back but there's an overlap between them and the Koroks and Octoroks so I can understand their absence. Also bring back Skultullas while we're at it. And gibdos/redeads, I want some proper spooky zones to fill with skeletons and ghosts and spiders and mummies. Hell, give me an entire Ikana again.
I think the lack of proper dungeons is to blame. Every Zelda dungeon tends to have unique enemies for it, but BotW only had regions with enemies shoved in them (and recolored Lizalfos). It's one of the problems that makes the game feel too samey.
Underwater sections could be good too, if they can handle detailing all that ocean floor.

>Getting weapons is easy
And that's just part of the problem. What's the point of having weapons degrade quickly, with no way to repair them, if the game just gives you so many, that you can't hold them all? Why should I feel any sense of reward, when I find a weapon, if it won't last all that long and is entirely replaceable?
2c7d9e No.14543824
>>14543591
OK, here's how to fix the damn thing:
Fucking make it so there is a repairing mechanic, either Link himself manning the forge, with help from some guy or alone, or just paying for the use of forges.
Fucking make it so each time you reforge a weapon to increase its durability, part of the damage *and* durability goes out the window, if you reforge it with Link's starting ability or the blacksmith cheapest option to repair the weapon.
Fucking make it so there is a progression system that unlocks making sharpening stones to use on reforged equipment to bring it to the old glory, though you need not craft the fuckers, just farm them from the leaders of each enemy encounter and bosses roaming around. The unlock teaches Link how to use it on the go, a bit like the sharpening of blades on Monster Hunter.
Fucking make it so a hard as fuck to get material can be used to basically Guilded Blade whatever weapon is of your fancy, so it lasts forever while becoming sharp by use faster.
Finally, fucking make it so weapons aren't showered on you at every step of the way, and have an inventory system that limits shit around. Also, add the way to buy weapons, you'd think those would be the drive of the economy of a Hyrule filled to the brim with fucking monsters that make trade routes dangerous and such. You could even gate the merchant that sells you X weapon to a side quest each time so you don't originally just have the option to pop a sword and make the beginning of the game retain the original's feeling of weakness and shit, that makes for an even greater payoff when you've basically outgrown being a wimpy sleeping beauty one shot by retarded blue bokoblins.
2c7d9e No.14543838
>>14543824
sage for correction, my idea is that reforging is done with items on different tiers so easy reforgings gimp the weapon's original power more than more "refined" reforgings, and Guilded Blade weapons last forever but go blunt (lower damage) earlier, not slower as I originally said.

What if new Gerudo male has a new soul that isn't Demise and he left his tribe after finding out his ancestor is Ganondorf. I could see this scenario but with outlaws instead of Gerudo. Also I want a Zelda game's theme to be breaking the law. Plus Link could have an interesting background. I can see Link being a bastard of a dead royal knight and a noble rogue that can see fairies who lost everything in her name and was raised by thieves. I doubt Nintendo will make Zelda pure evil, but she can be an obstacle you have to overcome even if her intent is noble.

Closest thing we got to that was Spirit Tracks. Zelda gets turned into a spirit and has to possess armor to help Link. The game also takes an opportunity to lampoon what the Zeldas of every game have usually done:
>Zelda: "Uhh I guess I'd better sit back here since I'm a ghost! Get my body back soon and stuff!"
>Sage: "What do you think you're doing? You're going to help him."
They paint this Zelda as being a bit selfish… kind of how you'd actually expect a princess to be. Which makes it more endearing when she actually ends up helping Ling defeat monsters and is happy about it.
