Quote:Yeah, the developers have even said they put little, if any, thought into the position of the game in the timeline until way near the end of production. All the games do relate to one another, there is a timeline, but I think we gamers focus much more on it than Nintendo does
Yes, and they leave it to us to try to guess how the games go and why the heck the kinds of things that have happened in this timeline happen... (reoccurring characters, etc, etc...). :) Oh well, the games are great... but it would be nice to see a bit more attention to the timeline, history, and making sure that it all actually makes sense.
Or just say that each game is in a new universe like Final Fantasy. But that would be even stupider than saying 'oh, there are just fifteen boys named Link who wear green, all living concurrently with of of the fifteen princesses of Hyrule named Zelda'... :)
