So today my roommate and I had a fevered discussion about the Zelda timeline which lasted from before lunch, during lunch and after lunch (about a full hour, maybe more) Long story short, we now have a flowchart of flashcards sitting on our rug detailing the timeline as we've deciphered it. We went with the dual timeline theory, which made placing Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks easy enough, but the rest had a lot of debate. I think we settled on:

OoT split -> Majora's Mask | Twilight Princess -> LoZ Wii 2 (this is most likely according to recent interviews) | Four Swords GBA (the LttP GBA bonus game) -> Four Swords Adventures | Link to the Past -> Oracle of Ages/Seasons -> Link's Awakening -> Zelda 1 -> Zelda 2.

Games in between the |'s have the same Link as the hero of that game. Which means that LttP Link is the same link in all of those 5 other games. I won't get into reasonings now because it's 3:30 AM and this post is getting long enough, but tl;dr, we had way too much time on our hands today.

I always thought the Zelda timeline was funny, how so many of the games are set in essentially backwards order

It seems so odd how the 2nd game to be made is last in the sequence.

Yea, I find it interesting how the Zelda timeline goes all over the place

Also, I find it odd how in North America, Final Fantasy II, III, and V were skipped, but they went ahead and released FF4 as FF2US, and FF6 as FF3US... I also remember that they initially planned to release FF5 for the SNES and then Windows (or DOS?), and a translation was completed, but it went unreleased for some reason...

At least by the time Final Fantasy moved onto Sony platforms, they decided to call it "Final Fantasy VII" instead of "Final Fantasy IV"

However, I can understand skipping FF2 and FF3, since the SNES was already released in North America, and FF3 NES was deemed too hard for American players, IIRC... also, a partially (officially) translated version of FF2 NES exists, as well as an official translation of FF5 SNES (known as Final Fantasy Extreme, which doesn't have a ROM, AFAIK...)

The United States didn't get FF5 and FF2 until the PS1 and GBA, but we had to wait for the DS version for an official FF3 translation

I just think of each Zelda game (except the ones that are stated to be direct sequels) as different versions of the same world with lots of similarities between them. Yes, I know there is some sort of a general timeline, but it makes some sense and saves you a lot of thinking. That way, you can just enjoy the game.

Ah, well that goes before OoT, and the placement isn't disputed so I didn't think to include it.

I like to think of it as an infinitely looping timeline. They live in Hyrule for many years, generations of Link and Ganon fighting, the world gets flooded, Ganon one more time. Link finds new world with train tracks, fights more evil. They live in Hyrule for many years etc.

What's the point of having two Pub-type threads anyway? (OK, so the one in Craziness is more like Twitter or Facebook than this thread...)

Ask hydrapheetz, he started both of them.

I've noticed that the other thread tends to have vague comments unrelated to other posts in the thread, like "I hope this will go well.", and it seems to have started with more of a food theme.

The one in craziness could be removes in favor for this if you ask me. I like it more when you can reply to something to get a discussion about it AND change topic without any one getting mad. :<

Yea, I've actually been posting a lot more now

Anyway, I feel that this thread is much better than "Jul Pub II"/"PC Inflation Thread"/"Twitter Simulation Thread"...

There's been times where this thread has been dead for 2-3 days though... even if the rest of the board is fairly active.

Perplexing.

I dunno what it is that makes us all act like that. Maybe the topics at hand are rendered too specific for some unknown reason? Or it's some form of large-topic-too-tough while the rival thread (you know which one) has no topic and basically saps all topic-creating posts into it.

Wonder which one should stick around...(hint: this one)

Well... maybe.

Just put a Santa hat on your avatar. But don't do like I did once and change your custom title to a Santa hat as a joke on the fact that you have no avatar, then realize the image is far too big and quickly go back and remove it, leaving the field blank, which somehow removes your ability to use a title. Or at least it used to. Don't feel like trying it again.

I just hacked together some CSS to apply a festive gradient to my text... problem is it gives you an ugly background colour as a result of the blending hack. While I can make it look decent, I can't make it look decent with this background.

Dammit CSS give me more control! I want colour-key/background-image-only transparency, and some way to attach my background properly so I don't have to use this stupid fading hack.

I wonder if anyone would mind if I just increased the minimum height to 460px so the background doesn't have to be clipped... People would've complained back when I made it but I see a few other layouts now that must be at least that tall.

I find it funny when we can talk about a subject in a large thread but when a thread is made just for that topic, it's dead.
