>Ocarina of Time: Link wears the green hat and tunic because he grew up with the Kokiri who all wore that outfit >Minish Cap: Link wers the green tunic in honor of the Hero of Men but the hat is just Ezlo in disguise, who gives link an actual hat at the end as a token of their friendship >Skyward Sword: The tunic and hat are a knights uniform and the color green just represents his class at the academy.
Why are there three different origins to Link's outfit? This means we have to accept that SS Link got his outfit, someone else wore it but dropped the hat, MC Link unintentionally reinserted it and the Kokiri just coincidentally dressed the same way.
Better question, why is OoT Link's Kokiri outfit different from the others? The rest wear more convincingly foresty type outfits but Link just has an oversized polo shirt and brown boots instead of green (which looks better on him, to be fair).

>the female Kokiri are the ones that wear the brown boots
Because there really is no timeline/connected lore, nintendo only scrambled one together to appease autists

Where did the tights come from when he pulled out the Master Sword in OoT?
Cooper Ramirez
>given women's shoes as a kid >wears tights as an adult >still ends up one of the more masculine Links of the series What a fucking chad. Only TP Link can dare to compare.
Rauru noticed Link's dong started to peek out the skirt and put on some pants while he was in a coma.

The most Chad is easily the Hero of Legend, who has LttP, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, and Link's Awakening all on his resume.

Why not? Having an official timeline was a retarded idea and should be retconned
Ethan Perez
The one with pink hair? I agree
Eli Jones
pink hair can be pretty fucking manly
Ayden Stewart
He also killed Ganon without the Triforce. They basically had to retcon that to hold back his power.
Nicholas Walker
>retcon ?
Owen Moore
Ocarina being followed by wind waker and its sequels was planned. TP coming after ocarina in the other timeline was planned. EVERYTHING else is horseshit. Especially trying to shoehorn in the fucking four sword games.

>lmao what? Go back to r/eddit.
>no sign of actual continuity FSA has a new Ganondorf and descendants of the 7 sages from Ocarina of Time, confirming it happens after OoT, that alone already confirms it happens after OoT in some timeline and WW happens in other timeline but that Link inherits a shield that happens to be family's heirloom and something an ancient hero used long ago, this is the same shield MC Link has so you can easily place MC before OoT and FSA and WW after OoT in their respective timelines, the only thing that wasn't 100% was if FS happened before of after Ocarina, but they already confirmed FS happens before OoT too so everything fits >SS (before hylians found Hyrule) -> MC and FS ("the oldest tales in the Zelda timeline" until SS was made) -> OoT -> WW (adult Link ending) / FSA (young Link ending)
Bentley Taylor
Quit projecting.
Julian Gonzalez
I'm not wrong. The official timeline doesn't make any fucking sense and attempts to retroactively sequelize games with no continuity. The rest of your post is utter fucking nonsense. I ask for evidence of continuity between four swords adventures and wind waker and you start ranting about completely different games. And really? "This game has the hylian shield, therefore it's a sequel"? Also your suggestion that the FSA sages are decendents of the ocarina of time sages is pretty fucking retarded considering most of them weren't human. What FSA ACTUALLY was, was a retelling of LTTP in the four swords universe.
Brody Nguyen
>I'm not wrong Stop reading here. You are stating something that goes against what the devs say, you are wrong and you will always be wrong you fucking retard, you literally can't win.
Lincoln Gomez
>the devs lmao. How many thousands of people worked on all these different games? How many of them were actually involved in the creation of the "official timeline"? There are 4 zelda continuities. Zelda 1 and 2; lttp, link's awakening, and the oracle games; OOT, followed by wind waker and its DS sequels on one hand and by majora's mask and twilight princess on the other; minish cap and the four swords games. Neither skyward sword nor BOTW share any actual continuity with any of the games, with BOTW going so far as to suggest that the other games are actually "legends" only tangetally representative of things that actually happened. And that's FINE. Why would you WANT games that have fuck allll to do wwiiith eachother to be considered actual sequels? It's kingdom heart's tier nonsense, and makes the plots of the individual games worse.
Bentley Mitchell
>Especially trying to shoehorn in the fucking four sword games.
Dummied data within the game implied that the original plotline was intended to tie in to the Imprisoning War that was alluded to in A Link to the Past. Most of these were cut due to Shigeru Miyamoto suggesting a simpler plot.
So blame Miyamoto for that.
Christopher Collins
Go play Mario then if you want simple stories.

Liam Clark
If it's not in the game it's not in the game. If FSA HAD been written as the imprisoning war, that would have been pretty neat. But it wasn't. >Go play Mario then if you want simple stories. You don't know what a good story is. In wind waker, ganondorf is a relic of a dead world, attempting to resurrect the past at the cost of the present, and so link kills him, in spite of his understandable intentions. He and zelda then leave and establish a new civilization full of its own merit and challenges. THAT'S a fucking story. But no, now, gandondorf isn't a character, he's just the reincarnation of satan. His genuine nostalgia and regret were fake. He's just Evil itself, and CAN'T be killed for good. And link and zelda didn't escape the conflicts of the past, they just moved them over a bit, and then the fucking ocean they left dired up on its own, apparently
Caleb Martinez
Imagine actually seriously thinking there's a connected lore between Zelda games
Elijah Reed
Between some there is, and it genuine depth. For example, consider OOT, wind waker, and twilight princess. In wind waker, ganondorf's reign resulted in the destruction of the world he coveted, and so in WW he is generally more mellow and remorseful. He spares link multiple times and actually didn't kill a single person in the entire game, and seemed to have benevolent intentions. In twilight princess, ganondorf was caught before he succeeded in OOT, captured, sentenced to death, and then banished to hell. This filled him with rage and spite. While in OOT, ganondorf was a dickhead who wanted to rule the world, in TP, he's a monster who would rather destroy it, and plunge those who rejected him into the same hell he had experienced. Together, the three games paint an interesting picture of the degree to which our past experiences shape who we are as a person. But you certainly are right that cross-game continuity and lore in and of themselves are not important, or in the case of zelda, usually even present. Any two zelda titles picked at random likely have no continuity at all, which is actually good.
Levi Ortiz
Breath of the Wild Link doesn't even get the hat until much later. His iconic champion outfit is a single blue shirt. The hat is at least important for SS Link in the sense that the hat keeps his head warm while flying around in the sky. Women get a round beret so it's also a gendered outfit too. So you could at least make the case that the green tunic itself was more important than the hat in regards to SS Link, and then as a kind of retroactive syncretism incorporate MC Link's adventures with Enzo into it.
Or maybe the outfit just wasn't that important until it had to be. WW and TP both derive their outfits from OoT, it doesn't need to be some massive legacy thing.
