Dunno when you heard that. I think Twilight Princess is supposed to be countless eons later than OoT.

All the Zelda games (excep the ones that are explicitly the same Link) take place so far apart that the events of the game before have passed beyond memory and history into legend and myth.

Exactly. Doesn't matter when it is, fact is that OoT Link is the skeleton guy teaching you moves in Twilight Princess.

Skeleton guy looks quite a bit older than 37.

Oh according to wikipedia it's 100 years later, I'm not sure where I got 30 from either. I knew it was some vaguely defined time that was not that long.

Ah, found a source for your erroneous information.

Zeldawiki posted:

–When does Twilight Princess take place?

Aonuma: In the world of Ocarina of Time, a hundred and something years later. *

*It should be noted that the section where Aonuma mentions that it takes place "a hundred and something years later" was erroneously translated. The original text said "百数年", which literally means "several hundred years", rather than "a hundred and something years".

As far as I know, the shortest length between two games not starring the same Link is Phantom Hourglass to Spirit Tracks, which takes place exactly 100 years later. Nico is even still alive... and like 115 years old.

...That wasn't the same Link? Huh.

Granted, I played through PH once and got like five hours into Spirit Tracks, but I figured Link just found a big ol' new continent and decided to build train tracks all over it.

At the end of WW they set off to find a new home, this is the same link in Phantom Hourglass. That link and crew a new continent which is the setting for Spirit Tracks 100 years later.

Spirit Tracks is a good fun games (except for the final song gently caress that) and I wont hear otherwise.

The two Tingle games don't star the same link or any link at all and take place within a few years, boom, u got nerd owned.

For a more serious answer the street pass guy in Link Between Worlds is supposedly the Link from Link to the past (Link between world spoiler)

Like I know you're supposed to feed the fish to the fish but I can't find where to bottle fish to bring to the fish. I tried grabbing one from the pirate fortress from the fish tank, but the fish didn't get bottled.

Try the northern coast near the cliffs and the Pirate Fortress. There's a pond there with fish. You'll need five of them

There is one in the Trading Post in Clock Town that respawns every time you enter.

Worked out how to achieve the most assholish ending possible with Majora's Mask.

Locked Kafei in Sakon's Lair with no possible means of rescue.
Gave Anju the pendant so she'll sit waiting forever in her room (that's gonna put a damper on the Carnival of Time).
Stole a single Zora Egg (they only hatch when they're all together).
Stole the Seahorse.
Took a single Stray Fairy from each dungeon so all five Great Fairies can never be restored.
Kidnapped the Deku Princess.
Gave the Priority Mail to someone far more deserving; The Toilet.


So long, Termina. The timelines might get merged, but I stole all your important stuff. :byewhore:.

All the holes with the chest/2 stick dekus/1 nut deku combo have a pond with a scoopable fish (and some bugs too).

There's also a fish in the Stock Pot Inn, in the room in the back where you meet Anju for the night chat. That's the one I often use.

Just use the four fish in the pool at the base of the cliff, by the Pirate Base in Great Bay. They respawn really fast :ssh:.

So I recently discovered that if you don't do the Kafei and Anju sidequest, then at midnight on the second day, the Postman will mail himself a letter just so that he can stick to his schedule the next day. What does the letter say?

The Postman posted:

To Myself,
You have been doing a great job delivering the mail. I have a request for my hard-working self. All of the townsfolk have taken refuge. I want myself to flee, too. Even if it is not written in the schedule, I want myself to flee.
Please...

From Me

That letter really hits me in the gut, because that would be me, performing my job tasks in the empty town, because I didn't want to waste a sick day and my boss had not officially given me permission.

I really think part of what hits me about MM is that the concept has always stuck with me really hard. Just a bunch of people living their lives knowing this horrifying inevitable catastrophe coming down on them from above. I ended up reading a kinda-cheesy book series called The Last Policeman recently which follows a similar idea. There's just something eerie about that style of apocolypse. No deadly virus, no horrifying nuclear weapon, just something that is going to come and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

(Well, nothing you can do to stop it if you're not a time-travelling elf.)

There are few videogame feels as invigorating as resetting to the Dawn of the First Day and knowing that the next 72 hours of game time hold many adventures.
