I love that title they should make a game like that

It's a dream. Link is asleep, dreaming of riding across Hyrule Field on Epona. It's why he can't remember how he got there and why everything's a little off and not consistent with the real world. And when you start the game? ...He wakes up inside his house in Koriri Forest. >>You never really remember the beginning of a dream, do you? You always wind up right in the middle of what's going on.

I think the same as well. It's a timeline were Link either never opened the Door of Time to the Master Sword, or he did and just never pulled the Sword. There can be a number of reasons why, too, Maybe Ganondorf found a way to achieve his goals without needing to open The Sacred Realm. Or perhaps what if Link was somehow deemed worthy and able to weild the Master Sword as a Child thus was never sealed away for 7 years in the Sacred Realm. What if one of Ganondorf's minions, say, Koume and Kotake, had a vision or prophecized Ganondorf's defeat by the Hero of Time. What if Ganondorf WAITED............bided his time........held his hand..........and just slowly crept towards his goal in such an incremental way it was almost impossible to stop or notice him?

I'll run with that. Head canon: Ganondorf wins, by all means and sense of the word. But as years pass, he realizes he'll never achieve any victory or success again. His greatest foe, the Hero of Time, the weilder of the Tri Force of Courage gone. That's a milestone he'll never achieve ever again. Perhaps, after he obtains the Tri Force of Wisdom, he can realize this. Complete domination and rule of Hyrule and all the lands is empty and fruitless. What he truly enjoyed was watching his perfect plan finally unfold just the way he wished. And finally, obtaining the Tri Force of Courage.....finally weilding all three and gaining God Like status......he had the Courage............to undo his victory. Reverting Hyrule....or rather, creating a new Hyrule, as it once was. Bringing Link back....bringing Zelda back. Relinquishing control of the Tri Force of Wisdom and Courage back to their "true" owners. And informing them....that he's already won. That now they have another chance. To let the games begin anew. Round 2, if you will. To test himself, against Link and the world all over again. To put truth back in the original threat, that he will always return (not possible if he isn't defeated) That there can be no light that does not cast a shadow. That darkness has no purpose or meaning without light. Daring fate and the Goddesses themselves to defy him once more. In the end, all Ganon really wanted was acknolewdgement. That, and a better life, a better world, for his people, the Gerudos. Head canon, some where out there, in some version of Hyrule.....sits Ganondorf and Link. Not across from one another....but side by side. Sipping Lon Lon Milk....... Ganondorf: .....wanna go again? Link: ...... *Finishing his milk and setting it down* Hyaaah! *And both stepping out. The Dude Bros they always were*

From a story perspective, this Link seems to be one who was supposed to have been sent back to his time by Zelda after defeating Ganon but something went wrong between the magic of the Ocarina and the Master Sword/Temple of Time. This would explain why he doesn't have the Ocarina of Time because he already gave it to Zelda at the end of the game, but he would have the Fairy Ocarina because it was a gift from Saria so he would have held on to it.

It's end game Link after Zelda sent him back in time. He still had all his items, then he grew up normally. Meanwhile while he's aging normally, his past self, the Link you usually play as, is going through the game as normal, but because end game link warned everyone of Ganondorfs actions, it creates wierd time paradoxes, for example the Deku tree being alive.

I like this concept. To fully realize it, let's go a bit further: Zelda wanted to give Link back his childhood. And did exactly that. However, the timeline couldn't exist, as it did... not without Link's sacrifice. So, rather than making it "not exist", Link was split into two souls: the boy from Kokiri Village and The Hero of Time. The Hero of Time became Title Screen LINK. He had all the skills, knowledge and items of the adult timeline, but... his past was something that was foreign to him. The only remembrance he had being an ocarina from years long past. An important relic, for reasons he could not comprehend. And, not knowing what else to do, LINK went on to use his skills and equipment to confront the great evil of the land and slay him, protecting the timeline by saving the princess, so that she could send the boy from Kokiri Village back to his home... But forcing LINK to forever be trapped in a loop... Of being sent back to the past... Of forgetting his childhood... Of defeating Gannondorf. But... the boy from Kokiri Village was not content with this separation. He clearly still remembered the adult timeline, rushing to Zelda and informing her of Gannondorf's betrayal. But he didn't end his adventures there, as Zelda had intended... He decided that even though she had "saved" him from being needed in Hyrule... The adventure had not been a burden. He had yearned for it. Strived for it. Lived for it. And he missed it. And so, he rode into woods, preparing to leave Kokiri Village behind... but along the way, he bumped into a devious child... wearing a peculiar mask.

the problem with that is that the objective of hyrule warriors was to prevent everything from merging. and the only interaction diffrent timelines had in that game was that short fusion between child(where the game takes place) and adult. downfall was not even part of the picture. so no,I dont see how that could be the case unless there are events after that game. Not to mention that it makes more sence to say the timelineconvergance is just an easy way for nintendo to get out of the mess they have written themselves into and botw actually happens after zelda2 and the references to child and adult come from the royal family once having used the tryforce to share the knowledge of the multiverse with their own hyrule and that event was just forgotten,all three timelines were assumed to be mere legends as the diffrent tales from link wins and link loses contradict each other. adult cannot even have botw and child is very unlikely as that timeline ended with ganons reincarnation getting sealed in the foursword.

@njacksonkc

4 жыл бұрын

Yeah this dude is really making stone soup. Not to say I don’t like some of his videos.

From a development standpoint, I believe the save file reflects an earlier state of development, when OoT didn't had a child Link (since he was written into the game super late and was the reason the game was delayed from 1997 to 1998, so because the stones were an "Ocarina item" and not an inventory item, they're missing from there, for example

This is the link of the stories. No one really remembers the events in-between, only the successes and the origin. This link has all of the things he has earned on his adventures, yet anything not told in story is forgotten. No one but Link and Zelda knew he had the Ocarina of time truly; why would they tell anyone? Thus, it was Link's own power that opened the door of time so far as anyone knows... and as far as the game does. Who would have known, also, that he could go back to his younger state? What purpose would speaking of it serve? Thus, he can only have been seen as an adult in this adventure - he must've been a child once, which is why the child cutscene plays. He can still beat Gannondorf, as it was in the Old Tales. This is nothing more than the Hylian's view of the tale, not the True Link.. yet he has the Courage of the True Hero.

@JustinW332

2 жыл бұрын

and that goes back to a pretty small but important detail in the series. there's always some kind of legend that is told in each game. but while some parts sound familiar, the details don't all line up with what actually happened. probably because of how many times said legend was passed down.

I'd totally forgotten just how huge his nose is in this game.

I absolutely loved the video and was thinking about it the entire time, so I decided to comment the headcanon I built for this Link I imagine that this Link is from a fourth timeline, but one that already split before the ending of the game. Link went off to his adventure, taking the fairy ocarina and leaving the forest, but he never went to the princess. He just spent time doing nothing, until Ganondorf took over Hyrule. That’s when Link realized his mistake, his sloth as he did nothing and paid the price. From that point onwards, he spends seven years fighting off ganon, acquiring the master sword, awakening the seven sages and obtaining every item, feeling guilty for not being fast enough. And that’s when the intro kicks in. LINK, as the game calls him, is a version of him that was never destined to exist. He was supposed to save the world. So when you defeat Ganon, you finally rid LINK of his guilt, redeeming him as a hero of time.

Youve heard of the hero of time, but now get ready for "The hero of a broken timeline"

I think in this "TitleScreen" timeline. Link made him adventure without a timeskip. He passed all the 7 years defeating the bosses and taking itens.

What if this is where you go when Zelda sends you back in time. Because you changed the past so much from going back and forth through time, you end up in an unstable time loop. Forced to fight Gannon over and over again with the hope of one day getting to go home.

@@strcrt I guess it depends on whether or not those fragments are factual events or something his mind made up to make the narrative make sense.

after resuming the video, i love the glitched cutscene, "its that LEG-endary blade..." xD

*"Video editing can be pretty overwhelming"* Such a humble man. Hiding the agonizingly painful reality from all you who wish to embark on a journey through madness, tedious and time consuming analysis, and in my case, absolutely NO formal training. Wonderful video as usual, keep up the great content. :)

This isn’t silly at all. It’s true role playing by using one’s imagination to fill in the gaps of consistency. This was awesome

This is his life after the game, when Zelda sends him back in time to just live his life.

This is one of the first sponsors that I've seen in a KZread video that I've actually been interested in XD also amazing video, I love the feel of your videos, the way that you do all of the cinematics, and your passion for them. Keep up the good work! :D

And people say Breath of the Wild was the first Zelda game where you can just run straight to Ganon's castle from the beginning.

The Title Screen world is the future world that no longer exists just before The Langoliers swoop in and wipe it out.

Crazy video man. I have spent countless hours in this game since I was a kid, and never knew about this. Great job, very well done.

Great timing! I just subscribed to you a few hours ago and was sad that I had watched all your Zelda related videos already. xD

6:46 Who knew the Door of Time was such a prankster? All one needs is a sound clip of Nelson Muntz going “Ha Ha!”

This reminds me of the title screen glitch for Twilight Princess, where you restart the game while Link is sinking in quick-sand at just the right moment, and it results in letting you control Lin in the title screen. Then you can die, save the game, or do some other things to have all kinds of different effects.

Thank you so much for your videos! ♥️ Ocarina of Time has been my favourite game since 1999, those videos are so interesting to watch! There is so much to this game and thinking about it is kind of like thinking about how big the universe is! This game is a true master piece, it's weird how you and some other people here on youtube knows more about it or comes up with theories etc that actually makes sense compared to the actual creators of the game haha!

I think the interesting thing about this particular Link is that... you know, he has all these things, but he's still yet to _earn_ them, almost like he came across a fallen hero's stash and was guided through each trial to earn them proper. If we then assume the Master Sword can only be wielded by the Hero of Time, which is supposed to be a hero reborn in the time of the world's need, t5hat would place Link either as the true hero, or a swordsman/adventurer unable to actually use the blade, instead relying on the GK/BGS. There's a lot to think about on this theory, and it's gotten me curious.

tbh id like to see a creepypasta or smth made out of this

“Hey look I just broke the game with glitches lol.” “Wtf why is the Deku Tree alive”

He probably doesn't have the ocarina of time because we gave it back at the end of the game, seem like his inventory is just that way because we give the stones to door of time pedestal, close the door after the game and give the ocarina back. Story wise makes sense game wise just weird

Bro my dusty old n64 still works, meanwhile my xbox 360 wont even start up.

I think there's something more to it, Swanky. If you were to disable the the interface while Link is in that scene setup w/ the title screen, the warps take him to other places (which doesn't happen if the interface is enabled). It's fair to say these scene setups had different transitions because the locations' positions changed during development. OoT and MM don't use FMVs, they're in real-time. A side effect is that they're bound to have notable differences once one looks deep enough.

I really enjoyed your analysis of this from a narrative perspective, it was very interesting. I didn't even know players can play the game from what we see in the title screen, but there's always something new I'm learning now that I'm looking at trivia videos and seeing there was a whole bunch of secrets I wasn't aware of.

From a story perspective what if this is what happens when zelda sends you back and you just normally age without the master sword sending you forward which kind of explains why it's inbetween both timelines

Ok so, Zelda creates a new timeline by sending Link back to the Child timeline, therefore separating the Adult timeline from the child timeline. This probably sent a ripple effect across time making him lose the fight against Ganon in the fallen hero timeline. Ok , makes sense

Me: sees a video about playing on title screen Skyward sword glitches: exist

I've seen this in speed running but never stopped to think of the story implications. This is a very creative topic and I love nerding out on things like this. Great video! 👍

I love your channel so much. Keep it up!

“When I was a wee lad” 🤣

It's the perfect adult timeline link: the timeline postulates that there are two remember, and this is one of them, the *adult* timeline link, with no recollection or evidence of the child timeline becuase as far as he is concered, it never happened.

With all the time traveling going on in the Zelda series, this is the space-time continuum collapsing.

I really enjoyed this video! I love playing with games' possibilities using their own programming against them like speedrunners do. But it was cool that you also tried to apply it to the story itself! The only place I've ever really seen that is... Well, Scott Falco's "A Totally Legit Speedrun of..." Series. And that one is played mostly for comedy. So seeing a more serious take on it is a breath of fresh air! I would really love to see someone play one of these Sequence Break Timelines in-character as Link, with him experiencing the story from a perspective of someone who shouldn't even be here, isn't even FROM here even, was plucked from a totally different timeline in the multiverse, like you suggested. I hope one day I can find someone like that, with decent acting, writing, and improv skills, to watch. That'd be super fucking cool. I'm also gonna check out the program you advertised! I've always wanted to be able to edit videos, but I was never sure where to start. But if I like this one, and it's affordable (I'm a broke bitch living on disability benefits - I'm also Canadian, just for reference, so our system isn't exactly the same as America's), I might actually buy it! So, thank you for the suggestion! Hope you're having a lovely October, and for the future, Happy Halloween!

This is simply a link who never did anything and aged naturally

Cool. Now the timeline is really messed up and my brain is fried from overthinking

Good content i Subscribed for it , taking it from both Gameplay and Story perspective was a neat idea

I LOVED this thank you so much for doing another zelda video especially ocarina of time

Yes this is the cannon timeline from botw. A link lost in time

Adult Link can never visit The Deku Tree while it was alive. SwankyBox : "Hold my Lon Lon Milk"

AMAZING video, please make more because this is fantastically told. The music chosen had me immersed completely and I loved seeing such a classic game brought to a new light. Also I’m not sure if it’s the late hour getting me but if Zelda asks for the ocarina back at the end.. why does he have it in majora’s mask again? Did he get in it the child aftermath or?

This is actually an interesting concept for a story. The hero just suddenly exists, with no memory or past, and with all the keys necessary to save the world but no knowledge of how or where to use them. But saving the world isn't the real end goal, it's solving the mystery of why you exist and how things came to be the way that they were.

This could be another timeline, Link has everything but he gave the Ocarina of Time to Zelda already, and now he's just in the future, maybe this is where Botw comes in, Link was asleep for years so maybe this is him in dream? I don't know but I think it's interesting.

"I love what I do" I'm glad. I know you'll bring great content as you always have. Thank ya, man🤠

Perhaps this Link's story was different, one where he set out on a journey way later, as the king of evil didn't act as soon as he did in the original OoT timeline, leading to an older Link who *did* have his adventures, just from a later starting point. As for the Spiritual Stones, maybe in a preemptive strike the different tribes sent messengers with the stones to Hyrule Temple ahead of time? This would also mean Ganondorf would have no reason to plant Gohma inside the Great Deku Tree thus he still lives in the adult timeline.

I clicked on in curiousity but got super excited seeing you use the same editing software as me because talking to people about it seems like it doesn't even exist.

Swanky with a new OOT? Always liked these over MATPAT's crying videos.

The consciousness of universe exists even in game reality. You blew my mind bro. Not a silly concept at all. Love you you framed this analysis with a story perspective

Big surprise for everyone watching this now: In late 2019, SRM (a very complicated memory manipulation glitch) was discovered. In 2020, many applications were discovered for it, including loading this very save file onto onto one of the playable files. This is currently used in the No Wrong Warp with SRM category, and was once used for Defeat Ganon with SRM, until a faster warp was discovered.

Who cares about at all that, you can actually "beat" LOZ OOT from the title link. That's awesome

"title screen" otherwise known as "every Attract Mode in every game up to OoT" All of those arcade games, fighting games, Mario, Sonic, etc... all of that stuff that happens when you let the demo start... it's all happening in engine. Its just recorded button presses, with a cheat device or debug function, you can actually play through the Attract Mode demos and see things that don't normally happen at that time, happen.

Love this video man, I also love zelda. But I think I love your channel more❤️

I love your wacky theor. Makes for fun stories. Pretty active imagination you got going

_when I was a wee lad.._ That is for some reason the best thing I’ve heard all day

There was a gameshark code I remember where it put you in what seems like title screen world at night with no HUD and I think the lack of the ability to pause. You would then find out it would randomize entrances and you never knew where you'd end up next unless you memorized it. It was such a surreal experience about as much as this.

You don't have to remind me of the narrative so much you had me hooked near instantly bruh

This is such a cool video. I think you kinda do like I do with your brain making up extra stuff to go along with games we love just for fun.
