Where
Twilight Princess fits into the Timeline Written by: The King of Hyrule No one knows for sure where
Twilight Princess fits into the timeline currently. And we probably
will never get a straight answer from Nintendo. All of what follows
is pretty much just a theory I am throwing out there. Tell me what
you think. My theory is that Twilight Princess fits into the series after Ocarina
of Time and Majora's Mask, but before The Great Flood and The Wind
Waker. It is a good idea to read my article on Ocarina of Time's ending
before reading this in order to fully understand this article. When Link defeats Ganondorf in the end of Ocarina of Time, the Seven
Sages send Ganondorf into the realm which he wanted so desperately
to control. Zelda then sends Link back in time, so he can warn her
younger self of the evil Ganondorf will cause. The sages gather in
the younger Link's time and capture Ganondorf. They make plans to
have hom executed using a ceremonial blade. But at his execution,
Ganondorf breaks his bindings and begins to scream with rage. In the
spur of the moment, the King of Hyrule uses the Mirror of Twilight
to seal Ganondorf away into the Twilight Realm. So Ganondorf was sealed
away in the same realm that the ancient Twili race was sealed in hundreds
of years before. After Link had returned from his trip to find Navi, which had proved
to be unsuccessful, he had settled down in Hyrule Castle with the
Royal Family. He lived a great life, what was left of it. He passed
away in the peace of the Royal Family. A time of peace, rightfully
called The Great Peace, followed Link's death. The races prospered
and trade flourished between Hyrule and other surrounding lands. Huge
renovations were made on the land of Hyrule, extending its borders,
and redesigning everything. A hundred or so years passed by before
evil would threaten the land again. This is where Twilight Princess comes into play. The land of Hyrule
became covered in Twilight, and the land was once again threatened
by Ganon. Ganondorf used a puppet, called Zant, to lead him out of
the Twilight Realm. The Hero of Hyrule, Link, defeated both the puppet
and the puppet master before they could rule Hyrule, though. However,
this time, when Link defeated Ganondorf, Ganondorf was not sealed
away into anywhere, instead, he fled. Ganondorf went into hiding as
he used his powers acquired in the Twilight Realm to build up an army.
The worlds were separated; and the Mirror of Twilight smashed. The
Master Sword was placed under the care of the King of Hyrule. It was
placed in a special pedestal in Hyrule Castle. The Hero of Hyrule that had defeated Ganon in Twilight Princess passed
away. As the years passed, the memory of the Twilight in Hyrule became
no more than a bedtime story. Ganondorf no longer threatened Hyrule,
but still remained alive. And he actively searched for the Triforce
which he so longed to posses. Then, one day, Ganondorf managed to open a passage way between the
real world and the Sacred Realm. He reached in and grasped the Triforce.
Of course, the Triforce split into three pieces, with Ganondorf left
with the Triforce of Power. The other two pieces of the Triforce went
to the lines of the Royal Family and the Hylian Knights. Ganondorf
used his newfound power to turn the Sacred Realm into a twisted, evil
world, called the Dark World. Ganondorf built up his army in the Dark
World, and, when the time was right, he marched them all upon Hyrule
Castle. This is where the Great Flood occurred. King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule
commanded his army to defend Hyrule Castle while he evacuated all
of the inhabitants. The people cried out to the gods for mercy in
their despair. The King, in the midst of all of the chaos, fell into
a deep trance, in which the goddesses appeared to him. They warned
him of Ganondorf's power, and the damage he may cause. They instructed
him to tell the people to flee to the mountain tops. They then told
him to go to the lower floors of Hyrule Castle and draw the Master
Sword when the rain began. When King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule woke up, he found himself floating
in water in the castle yard. It was pouring down rain. He could hear
the shrill shrieks of the Army of Hyrule outside. He ran inside the
walls and instructed the people to run to the mountain tops. To everyone's
surprise, it began to rain harder and harder. The King reached the
basement of the castle and pulled the Master Sword from its stone.
Everything froze. The gods came down and woke up the King and told
him that when he had pulled the Master Sword, everything under the
mountains had frozen in mid-step. They allowed the King to wake up,
and they told him to place the Master Sword back in its place, for
it would be the key keeping Hyrule frozen. They then instructed the
King to find the next Hero, and set him free. The rain continued to fall, and all of the old Hyrule was covered
with a great sea. It would be near a thousand years before the next
Hero would appear. And thus begins The Wind
Waker. |
