Yeah, those are the ones I was talking about. They do look pretty similiar, though. I mean, the stance and all.

Except for the part where they're twice as big as you.

There have been owl statues in many Zelda games.


Link's Awakening


Oracle of Ages/Seasons

Aaaand they don't have a picture of the statues in Majora's Mask

There is no timeline. TP was just a rehash of OoT and is nearly identical. If there was than Nintendo would have said it by now and they don't give a ****.

Let's not forget the part where there is no timeline.

Thank you.

All this talk of timelines can ruin your enjoyment of a good Zelda game. I think those statues are just "Generic scary face" statues.

I really think that object similarities just drive us away from the truth. The TP developers just probably thought that it's time to show something that was in a previous Zelda, too. Or they just liked those statues. Except if those statues need to represent something. A character, an enemy or something. I really don't think it's an owl, I mostly interpreted it as an old man head, but it slightly resembles a duck, too.

Oh, and timeline discussion doesn't ruin Zelda feeling, it uplifts the feeling. It's very exciting examining a newly released Zelda game (while playing it) to find signs of their place in the timeline.

I think Zelda developers first decide between which Zelda games need the next game to be, then they start to build the game and while building, they invent some things that shouldn't be there in that time. For example, they decide that they make a game that is between OoT and LttP but put one thing in that only can be after LttP. Or something more complicated.

Umm... Nintendo has confirmed that there is a timeline. Shigeru Miyamoto said that there was an official document, and Eiji Aonuma (sp?) said that he was compiling a timeline for public release. He has also made numerous statements about how WW and TP fit into the timeline.

But the owls have been a recurring thing since LA. Maybe Miyamoto just liked Hedwig?

Funny, I've heard that quote somewhere.
I think it was the Matrix.


Cool topic, I've read most of the posts but I have nothing to really contribute.

They say that so Zelda can sound like it has a complex story line. Nintendo had also said TP would explain how Hyrule flooded. Do you really think we should still take this timeline garbage seriously?

[Mitchfork]

Yes.

[Legendary_Goriya]

Freak yes.

I know the timeline is fake. It doesn't matter in the real world where the crap the games go on the timeline. All the timeline is a fun point to talk about among freak Zelda fans like myself.

But if you want to debate the timeline, please take it to The Zelda Timeline Thread. IT NEEDS ACTION!
