Triforce Hero Club (A Legend of Zelda megathread!)
LeeC:
When and in what timeline does BotW take place? I have always assumed it took place after The Advenutres of Link in the Failed Hero timeline, since AoL is about preventing Gannon's return and BotW established that this prevention has happened for generations.
(click to show/hide)With BotW being about a failed prevention scenario thousands of years after AoL?
I can't find anything definitive and that some at Nintendo said its not in any of the timelines. Which is fine too. I did watch MattPat's VG Theory video and although he brought up many interesting points supporting my idea, VGT has been more rumor mill than concrete theories for the past few years with many a harebrained "theories" regarding other games.
edit: ah I see that recently Nintendo said its at the end of all 3 timelines, but that that is subject to change as is everything in the timeline.
--- Quote ---In an interview with Famitsu (translated by Siliconera), series producer Eiji Aonuma and Breath of the Wild director Hidemaro Fujibayashi explained the timeline isn’t set in stone, will almost definitely change again and is really open for each player to have his or her own interpretation.

So for you, where would you put the game in the timeline?
LeeC:
I love Kass! He's such a fun character even though he's just a quest giver. His music and story are just so awesome.
I am in need of some more shrines so I've been hunting him down and have finished all his quests save the blood moon one. Just waiting for a blood moon to happen.
Pilchard123:
Have you got the DLC? His music gets longer if you complete that, IIRC.
Also the DLC is fun on its own merit too.

There are several occasions where NPCs tell Link the deep background of the story. The lack of any reference to previous games in any time-line strongly suggests to me that this is a parallel continuity with no connection with any other game; a soft reboot in other words.
The only other explanation that make sense to me is that this has been going on for so longer (far longer than the 10,000 years occasionally mentioned), that the origins of Ganon in the Dark Lord Ganondorf Dragmire, have long since been forgotten by even the wisest sage. The war has been going on for so long that it has defined history around itself and everyone has forgotten that there was a time before and how it began.
LeeC:
Does Revali in BOTW give off a Salieri from Amadeus vibe to anyone else? You know I mean when you get past the Falco from StarFox bit.
