Quote:The hero, with Wisdom and Courage, Light and Sword, fought the beasts, and returned peace to the world.
(With Wisdom and Courage? The Golden Light... Light Arrows? The only time Link had the Triforce of Wisdom and Courage was in Zelda 1 and AoL so this must be a story we haven't seen yet)
Well of course not, MC takes place before all of the other Zelda games, remember?
Yes, it happens before all other Zelda games, which means all other Zelda games are sequals to Minish Cap. And because of the paradox created by Link's time travel (OoT, OoA) it is possible that there could be a rift at some point connecting Minish Cap to a future story. As in, Minish Cap turns out to be the future, or sequal of Oracle of Ages based on what Link did in the time line. So our past is Link's future and vise versa. That's what a Paradox is.
Quote:Well a lot of this is basically making stuff up. There's an interesting article at zhq that looks at all of the poor translations and misinterpretations NOA has made with Zelda manuals and such over the years. It's under the story section, check it out.
Yeah it's pretty funny. But like i said the poor translations are with items, places, names, etc. Not the story itself. Like in Zelda 1, the Master Sword is called the Magical Sword. If we just make stuff up and do not use the games and their booklets as guidelines we might as well just forget the story exists and treat it like a Final Fantasy where nothing is connected and each story is it's own deminsion.
Speaking of which:
Quote:But that's the magical sword the legendary hero uses whenever Hyrule needs saving. And it looks just like the Master Sword. Why would later Links not use the same sword, but rather a different, similar-looking magical sword?
The Four Sword is the Master Sword, but it hasn't been blessed yet by the Goddesses and engraved with their symbol (the same symbol the knights of Hyrule had engraved on their armor and swords in respect to the legendary Hero (Link))
