RIP Nintendo Power

[Kriven]

@Zero Kirby: Right, thanks for the timeline. There's still stuff that doesn't make sense like how Link has a "grandfather" in MC and is a Kokiri in OoT, and that he meets Zelda for the first time in both, but whatever, as you said Nintendo doesn't really care. I don't either really, the games are fun and that's all that really matters, since Nintendo didn't plan a huge storyline anyway.

But since OoT seems to be the crux of the story, with Ganondorf and whatnot, that gives me much more reason to finally finish it, so that's cool.

Wait, what? Minish Cap and OoT Link aren't even the same character. The timeline spans centuries.

Link, Zelda, and Ganon are eternal spirits constantly resurrected to repeat a continuous cycle and maintain order in Hyrule. The franchise has taken place over millenia, with different Links, Zeldas, and Ganondorfs.

Edit: Think Avatar: The Last Airbender.
