New Zelda - TP Art

[A Black Falcon]

Hmm... after MM? But while that gets the age thing right (a younger Link, not a teenage one like some Zelda games), how about the 'the Triforce needs to be in Hyrule City' aspect? I don't think that the Triforce is there after MM... I could be wrong, but I'm doubtful...

The WW Link is a completely different person from the Hero of Time obviously, but with TP being called a sequel to WW story-wise, with PH coming to DS that is a direct sequel to WW, you have to wonder if the TP Link is completely new, or is this the original OoT timeline, after MM, after oracles, where an adult Link finds himself living and working on a farm since he found out that he's not kokiri. It's going to be interesting.

I'm betting on TP's Link being an all-new Link, not an old one. PH is the sequel to WW... TP? Maybe in some way it continues the story, but I don't think it's the same Link... it's possible, but with the big shift in art style I'm doubtful (in the past artwork has been an imporant way to be able to tell the Links apart... like how character ages in the artwork disproves the "Oracles Link is the LA Link" theory...)

But Nintendo firmly believes in the importance of story. But they are more interested in bringing something different, not a Kojima-film-inspired type of story and scope, but a different method of story telling where the story isn't actually on the forefront of the medium.

Within each game, yes, these days... but in relation to the other titles? Only enough to sound vaguely possible, not to a degree where it's actually a real, solid timeline.
