The Zero Elf, by 補欠.Hm, now I want to see how all the main characters would look like as cyberelves...
The biggest problem, as I see it, lies with the original NES game. Ever since the notion first came about that we start at OoT and end at LttP, the original LoZ has left us with one more Ganon death than we can account for, and no effort has been made to address that; unless we're left to simply assume that LttP's Ganon had escaped the seal prior, was killed, revived, and sealed again. Overall, the original game's backstory has remained very self-contained, with no other title proving itself relevant to its setup.I thought the first game took place last in the timeline, with the final death (by silver arrows) of Ganon?
Internets, son. If you can hear about Word of God, you can talk to other fans.Doesn't mean everyone will bring up their interpretation and want to discuss it. Word of God gets much more attention and spread anyway due to the source.
That's why open endings deserve to be open endings and open interpretation deserves to be open interpretation. Because the author has no business going back and saying "NO WAIT THIS IS WHAT I MEANT BY THAT".They're not always meant to be open though. An author that intended for something to be vague (rather than being restricted by language or some such) wouldn't state his interpretation as the only right one.
No? Sure seems like it to me. If it was just simple clarification for some, other fans would understand it easily, and explain it to those who didn't.It's not like every fan is psychically connected and can voice questions/answers to all the other fans. And on top of that, you get epileptic tree theories, which if given a little effort can be just as viable as what the author intended.
If an author has an idea of how the story ends, THEY PUT IT IN THE DAMN STORY. Or make some kind of clear explanation. Or leave it for the sequel. Word of God is one of two things. Making up for bad storytelling, or ass-pulling to shut fans up.Languages are ambiguous, stories even more so. You can't explain everything exactly without ruining the pacing or using dry, boring language. Misunderstandings are inevitable.
Anyway, I kinda hate this "Word of God" thing. If these so called "authors" intend for the player to pay any sort of attention to a timeline, they would have made it obvious. They didn't. An author who goes back and says "Oh, this is intended to be this and that way, we just didn't explain it" is kind of stupid.That's not what normally happens, though.
