Kaepora Gaebora was confirmed to be Rauru.

Would you like to hear that again?

I mean it makes the most sense

This is my personal favorite pairing as well. xD

so yeah they do just throw this together without giving much of a shit

That's not what the article said at all. The point is, like I said, developing the game comes first, fitting it into the timeline comes last. They don't let the overarching series plot determine how the game unfolds (I.E. "The Master Sword was in the Lost Woods in ALttP. We should make it be in the Lost Woods in OoT to keep consistent"), because of this, there's inconsistencies (which Aonuma is warning about, since people argue about stuff like anachronisms (like robots in SS)), but that doesn't mean that the game has no sense of placement in the timeline.

You can clearly see that games like WW and TP connect to OoT's ending, however, those connections were not made until the games were nearly complete. This doesn't mean they threw the connection in there without giving a shit (try arguing that WW's plot was born out of laziness), but rather the games themselves were not solely defined and developed for the sake of a timeline.

In this sense, Nintendo isn't being consistent because doing so would mean building the game in reverse, being paranoid about plotholes and writing themselves into corners (ALttP's backstory probably would never be able to be made into a proper Zelda game, so essentially, we wouldn't have OoT's establishing plot (or it would have to be made an alternate timeline where Link stopped him rather than the 7 wise men)).

I'd rather they focus on making the games good rather than making sure they fit in the timeline perfectly. I'd rather they "give a shit" about what really matters and not what fanboys think is the most important thing.

Hey, don't Link and Zelda facebattle at the end of Zelda 2?

[Liraxus]

No idea, but its the last Zelda in canon so its not a big deal.

Dude seriously, I only read the start of that paragraph because you just assumed Agahnim was Ganondorf and threw every other option out of the window.

Hey, don't Link and Zelda facebattle at the end of Zelda 2?

And at the end of the linked Oracle games.

The sleeping Zelda, yes.

Which means he got a facebattle from someone that's apparently been asleep for centuries.

Does this mean she's a cradle robber?

And Ganon can't have multiple alteregos? Agahnim didn't have to be the same as Ganondorf, and Ganondorf himself isn't exactly an alter ego, rather who Ganon was before he went all pig monster. Both Ganondorf and Ganon are the "true self" and Agahnim is the alter ego.

My bad, sorry.

'Salright. I was actually kind of afraid someone may not have played ALttP, and I'd given them spoilers. I had my Hylian "OH GODDESS WHAT HAVE I DONE" image on standby just in case.

[Chekt]

Im really close to the end of SS. I just witnessed the foundation of the Master Sword.so ya, I'll try ta beat it notight.

[Great Eyewarp]

Have fun! You won't be disappointed. I still say Demise might have something to do with Dark Link.

[Liraxus]

Im gonna put this here and see how many people hate me for it.

So that comment from that guy called SEMC, exploded into a gigantic flamewar that took up about half the page?
