Be Ganondorf

What does the Triforce of Courage do, though?

it gives you courage

When Link and Ganon fought in WW: Neither of them had Triforces.

it seemingly keeps creation together, Lorule wished their Triforce away and everything went to shit

Writers never wrote it that way . Pretty simple really

King of lions got his wish granted. In a single moment at the end of WW, Ganon beat Zelda and Link,took all 3 tri-force pieces and was about to have his wish granted and it was taken from him in the last moment. Ganon has always been overconfident, it always be his downside. especially when he is closest to his goals

Yeah, so? A can-do attitude won't save you. A backpack full of gear and 20 hearts do. All of which the ToC doesn't provide.

gives you courage to find those things

Provides the ability to actually do that shit though . If anyone could do it then they would but they don’t :)

Link and Ganon are trapped forever in a perpetual cycle due to a curse.

I don't know why you're implying otherwise but "Beat someone to submission" is "try force",

The majority of the Links never touch the ToC and they all manage to do it. The damn thing is useless. You don't even need it to access the Master Sword anymore, you just need at least 13 hearts to yank it out.

Didn't he keep him alive in WW to keep his plan going to let him restore time and actually get a piece so he could have all three?

that is true, still it'd be interesting to see someone else gain the power of the triforce and wish for something and the dark world would change to reflect the wishers heart since that world is a reflection of hyrule.
why don't they just wish to break the cycle?

Because the goddesses are faggots.
Link is basically a slave to them in their constant fighting against Demise.

Ganon doesn't want to break the cycle. He wants to destroy Hyrule.

>He wants to destroy Hyrule.
Thats debatable.

The only demonstrated powers of the triforce pieces are as follows
>power: cursing people, shapeshifting, amplification of existing power
>wisdom: healing, clairvoyance, shapeshifting
>courage: curse resistance, amplification of existing power

Zelda had the triforce of wisdom in ww during the fight though

So? All she did was shoot Dorf while he was distracted by Link

And did you forget the triforce assembling quest in ww so link could get his?

His idea of "ruling" Hyrule is turning it into a monster-filled wasteland of death.

And it doesn't matter at all because botw Link can pull the master sword without it.

No, she didn't. Ganon took the triforces from Link and Zelda: his own popped out formed the full triforce, then someone else took the wish on it, and it evaporated.

I don't recollect when that was a requirement to use the Master Sword.

>Grow up in the woods, fathered by a tree.
>My father-tree dies.
>Told I have to save the kingdom. Me, a little kid.
>Have 7 years of my life ripped away from me.
>Coochie yanked away at every turn because they're Sages.
>Find out I'm adopted.
>Finally vanquish the evil Ganondorf and restore Hyrule.
>Get sent back in time to prevent Ganondorf from rising to power.
>Nobody remembers or even knows my heroic deeds and the physical and emotional turmoil I've been through, all for their sake.
>Die bitter and unremembered, turn into a Stalfos to train my future descendant.

It sucks, man.

>I promise not to kill you
>TWO MINUTES LATER
>Actually I want to kill you out of spite now.
I wouldn't trust Ganon if he actually managed to become less transparent: but he really didn't.

That's supposedly why WW Link needed to fetch the triforce

At least he got to fuck Malon

Makes you pick up the controller.

yes after the fight user
rewatch it

>meme American dialogue

That was a pretty realistic reaction on his part.
He was about to have exactly what he wanted, so many god damn years building up to this goal. and he gets excited
>I'm not interested in killing you two, I just want my wish granted
>Gets cucked at the last second
Yeah, I'd kill the closest things to me to if that happened

Shame the ranch never made it.

>his accomplishments in MM aren't even acknowledged because the only real witnesses were a sales jew and an imp

Adult Zelda really fucked him over. It makes you realize that OoT Zelda is incompetent when she's not Sheik.

It's a million years into the future, that's expected

Didn't Young Link leave and stumble into Termina? I thought the adult timeline resultated into TP Stalfos Link?

Didn't Link also shapeshift once or twice? He could turn into a fairy in Zelda 2 and a rabbit in aLttP

Location of the ranch doesn't make much sense though. But it's a nice easter egg.

I forgot how he changed into a fairy but in LttP that rabbit transformation was because of Dark World fuckery

Imagine a game where Link is the big bad because he rebelled against his fate in a timeline where he was supposed to die.

TP is child timeline where Link got sent back before shit hit the fan, and Termina wasn't real.

I always figured it's because ganondorf keeps getting into triforce wielders 2v1s
2 divine blessings > 1 divine blessing

>divine intervention won't help you
>ends up being the reason link wins by the end of the Day
It's fucking plot armor. Wisdom is exposition and power is final boss. Don't think too much about divine autism.

>Termina isn't real
It's a parallel world

Why not? The ruins of castle town are on the great plateau along with the OoT temple of Time if you take the position of the time temple relative to the market square and draw a line from the imaginary square to the ranch it pretty much lines up

The point is that nobody in Hyrule would care or believe he saved some parallel world. Stalfos Link only exists because nobody acknowledged his accomplishments.

Hilda wished their triforce away, and that happend, plunging Lorule into a wasteland overruned by demons

Bullshit the divine power is why Link wins. Over half of the Links never get a shred of it and they all manage to do their jobs just fine.

So did Hyrule Castle get moved?

>Guts Link
Fuck. I'm so down for that.

Which is the most baller-ass Link and why is it OG?

You mean from Berserk? Never read it, care to explain?

make him a buff as fuck old man that rips and tears the shit out of everything and anyone and make him hard as fuck to fight.

Oh my god it even extends to the positions of death mountain, lake hylia, faron woods, gerudo valley, zora's domain and lost woods you fucking faggot it's just an easter egg.

Easier to move a castle than you super holy temple

>gritty reboot of Zelda has "Triforce of Courage" brand whiskey
>Link can only beat Ganon while completely plastered drunk

It's either:

BoTW Link cause for all the canon is concerned he can wake up and haul his ass over to Hyrule Castle in his underwear and save the world in under an hour

Or ALttP Link, who saved the entire Sacred Realm and Hyrule, got his ass shipwrecked, woke up the Windfish, then got sent by the Triforce to Holodrum and Labrynna to prevent the eternal fucking of the earth's seasons and the spacetime continuum itself, as well as to prevent the resurrection of Ganon.

Or Spirit Tracks Link because he's a certified engineer and that's cool.

Or: The maps of hyrule between games don't really hold any relevance to one another, as they always/never have.

>Or Spirit Tracks Link because he's a certified engineer and that's cool.
Very respectable.

>BoTW Link cause for all the canon is concerned he can wake up and haul his ass over to Hyrule Castle in his underwear and save the world in under an hour
There is a reason why BotW has a true ending unless you think that Zelda staring at you like a retard for not even remembering her face is in canon with the upcoming game.

So you're saying Melee is even more accurate to the games than intended.

ALttP
>conquered both light and dark worlds
>defeated the strongest version of Ganon seen in the series
>woke the wind fish
>saved Holodrum and Labrynna, later retconned to be a different Link
>implied to be Gramps in ALBW, who could go toe-to-toe with ALBW Link even at an old age

>when she's not Sheik.
lol she's incompetent 24/7 instead of giving you all the temple songs and spare you the trek she just stalked you like a psycho with a harp.

Also he had gay pink hair, you have to baller as fuck to go around like it's pride day everyday

There's definitely a ton of fanart of hard and grizzled Link that's covered in muscle. If anything, there's a market for it, not that Nintendo would ever do the game.

It turns dreams into reality.

They retconned it unfortunately now it’s just the same thing as links awakening

>retconned
I always assumed it was some weird fever dream

That's what I've always imagined Fierce Diety Link as. Like a Lawful Neutral Link who chose to take maximum, permanent power over his decided fate of temporary relevance, so he could defeat all evil, not just the first villain he comes across.

No, it's fucking this and the fact that the Triforce of Power makes Ganondorf think he is so untouchable he disregards the threat until it's too big to overcome. It happens time and time again, every time they meet before the ending Ganondorf never gets rid of Link already.
Also if you consider the Goddess of Time to always exist it also could be a matter of she making so the main timeline is always one where Link succeeds.

Do you need to do the divine beasts to get the ending or just get the memories?

I wonder if they're going to make the goddesses directly part of the story at some point. Seems like the next logical step. And I don't mean the Oracle games, those versions are basically expies/avatars (and they also have a bunch of characters from other games randomly show up like Twinrova).

>What if Ganon is the good guy?
Why does people keep asking that? Why can't we have a ganon that questions your morality instead?

Why can't we have one ganon in one game be
>fascsist
>nihilism
>Socialism
>capitalism
>communism
>religious fanaticism
>antitheism

Better than gifting Ganondorf his way to the Triforce and spliting the entire timeline. Sheik at least had a reason for keeping her distance because she served Ganondorf to further hide her identity.

The old lore about the first princess to be named Zelda, included a King that used the triforce to make Hyrule a successful kingdom.

Power is a a straight amplification of, well, power. Courage and Wisdom don't actually see to do all that much. Wisdom has some miscellaneous powers I guess but I think Courage is more like getting verified on Twitter

yeah basically that and he'd use all his tools to fight you with wisdom courage and power.

Bullshit. Post source.

Triforce of Courage lets Link essentially no sell a lot of the shit that would incapacitate anyone else.

To make a long story far too short (it's great though, I'd absolutely recommend reading it or at least checking out the 97 anime first), Guts has an exceptionally shitty life which boils down to rebelling against fate.
>I can't do it justice in short but trust me his life is exceptionally shitty from the very moment he was born
>just when he's come to peace and might have a decent future with a woman he loves and a sense of belonging with a band of mercenaries, it's all taken away from him
>former best friend and mercenary leader Griffith betrays him, sacrificing his comrades for power and a demonic new body
>Guts escapes this sacrifice but loses an eye and an arm, and carries a cursed brand on his body that invites demonic attention forever going forward
>his love interest Casca escapes too but also with a brand, and not before being raped by the newly demonic rebirthed Griffith in front of Guts, which destroys her mind and basically reverts her mental state to that of a toddler
>Guts' very survival of this event is deemed impossible by the cabal of demons that control Fate itself, so demonkind becomes more prevalent in the human world, partially due to their attraction to these surviving branded humans
>Guts vows to fight all demonkind as revenge and to rebel against his determined Fate

Okay now THIS is EPIC...

The source on Termina being a fabrication by Majora's Mask is the Zelda Encyclopedia, which is not canon.

I wouldnt say he shapeshifted in lttp it was more its what he saw himself as? im sure theres some text in the game that explains it

So when does he cut the tiger in half lengthways

Gives you the power to save and restart your game, removing the fear of death, thus giving more courage

>still no game where Ganon wants to break the cycle and winds up being the tragic villain as he's viciously cut down by Link and Zelda in his attempt to free them all

The Dark World transforms you into a form that represents your inner self. It was the original explanation for why Ganon was a pig beast.

Link did not shapeshift in ALttP. He got turned into a rabbit because the Ganon's Dark World magic fuckery turns everyone who goes there into freakish creatures and he didn't have the Moon Pearl to protect himself yet.

Why is he holding the sword like that?

BotW Link is going to end the stupid story fuckery established in SS so we can go back to good ol' non-MCU Zelda.

As for why he's successful, Zelda's ass is the most powerful driving force there.

Though never really indicated I've always felt that Triforce of Courage is basically an explanation for most of the games mechanics. Increased strength, stamina and durability (hearts), instant mastery of weapons /skills

It's a backhand grip. You'll mostly see people use that grip with a knife but it works with swords too, assuming they aren't too heavy

well in BotW he essentially did that, Link died well before the game, so he just came back to life to kick Ganon's butt, it's pretty ridiculous. Link is Ganon's curse or something

So that's how that worked

I always thought them talking about the epic kingdom of Hyrule was always kinda weird, because the games always only showed the castle and then maybe one or two towns and a couple of isolated huts surrounding it

Where is this stated?

Link didn't die, he just jobbed to a guardian and had to be healed by sheikah technology. It takes a hundred years because Nintendo didn't have enough time to make Castle Town and they needed an excuse.

Plus an ability to find money anywhere and get make a lot of girls to fall for him.

In the same place as CHIM

reincarnation

They both had Triforce of Courage
Wind Waker Link managed to earn it before battling Ganondorf as it fused with him when he reached Hyrule Castle again.
I subscribe to the theory that after the Triforce is separated for the first time, between Ganondorf, Zelda and Link in Ocarina of Time, the other two pieces of the Triforce end up in the grasp of Link and Zelda whenever Ganondorf returns otherwise how does Twilight Princess Link have the Triforce of Courage? I always thought that was weird it's on his hand at the start of the game

It gives you the power to score with girls.

>explain how WW Link
Who went on a hunt for the triforce and successfully found it.
>and BOTW Link were successful
He's the only Link that we know for sure failed not counting OoT timeline asspulls or did you forget when he was in a kryptonian healing coma for 100 years.

Doesnt Ganondorf technically unite the Triforce before the battle and then the KoRL makes a wish so that no one has their respective piece?

What are the odds of BOTW2 being great? I mean, sure, it'll probably be good, but so much shit aligned for BOTW to be great that I really doubt they can reuse the formula and ever make it better

WW Link got his ass owned by Ganon and had his Triforce part stripped from him, along with Zelda. Ganon then released his own Triforce piece to complete the Triforce, only for it to get stolen away by Deus Ex Boatina. Link was only able to beat Ganon after Ganon lost that power.

BotW Link beat what seems to be at best a spirit of Ganon and not the full being. It had raw power, but very little of the intelligence and cunning the younger Ganon(s) were known for. Power without intelligence is just a rabid beast, which is what BotW Ganon essentially was.

Imagine a good open world and more than 4 enemy types

OOT Link had the TOC and it's canon that he failed as well, hence the existence of the "hero defeated" timeline.
And everything that WW Link does with the TOC is replicated by BOTW Link, who didn't have it.

You mean... you mean there might be... FIVE enemy types?!?! Impossible!!

With the context of BotW and taking place in largely the same Hyrule it won't be a jawdropper or anything. But I'm hoping it at least serves as a "game that BotW1 should have been".

If Breath of the Wild 2 has actual dungeons it will be a 10/10 for me.

I think it's safe to say that it won't sell or review as well as BotW even if it ends up being objectively better in many respects.

what no, the whole reason he even fights link and zelda is cause he lost the triforce to the king

This, but unironically

I always thought that the ToC is what gave you your infinite bag of holding, was this wrong?

>I forgot how he changed into a fairy
it's literally a magic spell.

>the kings wish is to drown hyrule for good
>water starts splashing down
>hence it fucking rains during the final fight

what are you on about?

I mean, in the trailer of the botw2 you see the castle rise from the ground.
Under that premise, it is possible that they could move the castle to more convenient locations, making it possible to have always fertile soil around your castle for a prospering kingdom

>Powered Master Sword
>timeline reboot
You're welcome.

>implying that you need the ToC to power up the master sword

Just because you wield limitless destructive power doesn't mean you can't fuck it up. As with most villains, Ganondorf is just very cocky and cockiness can lead to making oversights. You have to kinda realize that Triforce of Power is still limiting in the fact that it's user can still be harmed by godly/light weapons such as the Master Sword and Light Arrows as well as their own attacks directed back at them.

I like the idea that the triforce of courage is basically the game over screen. It's true power is letting link keep trying and pushing forward over and over. Link is armed with the knowledge of his previous life and can use that to keep pursuing his quest to kill ganon
