Zelda

[Dark Jaguar]

Regarding your Oracles explanation, there's a flaw there. The Triforce in the EAD games is specifically stated to be completely unable to tell the difference between good and evil. In fact, it's "essance" explains the whole concept to you at the end of LTTP. That's why it granted all of Ganon's wishes. For that reason alone the Triforce of the MAIN series couldn't have gone to Link for help. In fact, that whole bit of the story was the main thing convincing me it had to be some alternate storyline. The Triforce just acted so different in those worlds, being a lot more involved and actually seeking out Link as opposed to being indifferent and detached. Also, since Ganon has the entire Triforce, the seal was made to actually guard against the triforce's power by redirecting it right back into the Dark World. That's why Ganon had to create an alter ego that was devoid of the Triforce's power to get through. There's just no easy way to get those games to fit I'm afraid. Yes I too would love to find a way to get it all in one continuity. I myself am also not really a fan. However, I really think that Miyamoto may have actually told Capcom that their games wouldn't be part of the main storyline so they could do whatever they wanted to without worrying about continuity.
