Ravio shows up and reveals that he is the long lost alternate universe Link
This is kinda cool, but I'm confused. Is Ravio in Lorule or Hyrule, and is Link in Lorule the current Link?
Wait, so did we ever find out whether that old guy with pink hair in the art was actually the Link from Link to the Past?
-Ravio shows up and reveals that he is the long lost alternate universe Link (explaining why he has all the items).
Mostly came in here to see what this supposed super ultra secret is for beating hero mode 100%
upside down Triforce.
It's Impa.
All he's saying is they haven't forgotten about MM, as evidenced by something in ALBW (the mask itself being in Link's house). He didn't mean anything more than that IMO. In my mind, this is a very safe way of saying "something Majora-related is in the works."Eiji Aonuma via Polygon said:"Oh, one more thing," Aonuma wrote. "I see many of you have been asking about a remake of Majora's Mask for Nintendo 3DS. It's nice to see such a strong response to this title, and we haven't forgotten about Link's adventures in that world. If you play A Link Between Worlds, you may better understand what I mean by that."
So the final battle made me have one regret about this game. I really wish there had been more 2D battling. The bow thing in the finale was great, but it then made me want to do that throughout the game. be able to use the sword in the wall to fight 2d monsters...
The final blow to Yuga/Ganon where I had to shoot the arrow around the walls the opposite way was by far the biggest OH SHIT moment I've ever had in a Zelda, with only the revelation of Majora's Mask ditching the Skull Kid and taking over the moon matching it.
it was so awesome
Has anyone read Ravio's Diary in Hero Mode?
What if the enigmatic salesman Ravio...is the spirit of Old Man Link whose adventures ended at Link's Awakening?
So, when you get all 50 Streetpass challenges completed, you're supposed to report back to Gramps. He tells you you're the second person to ever complete all the challenges, and asks you if you want to challenge the only other person to do so.
So you fight Gramps.
All decked out, 20 hearts, red mail, Lvl 3 Master Sword, the works.
And it's here that it suddenly dawns on me... that Gramps might be a previous game's Link.

would've been more satisfying if I hadn't thought of that during the beginning of the final Yuga fight but only had it work the third time because that's when the game wanted it to workThe final blow to Yuga/Ganon where I had to shoot the arrow around the walls the opposite way was by far the biggest OH SHIT moment I've ever had in a Zelda, with only the revelation of Majora's Mask ditching the Skull Kid and taking over the moon matching it.

You can sell/use them at the Witch's hut.So I beat the game a few days ago, and it dawned on me that I have no idea what the monster parts do. I went through the whole game, collected a ton of them, and no one said anything about it. Can I sell them? Do I give them away? Is this some kind of joke about useless collectibles?

I'd rather post in here than in the OT so that I don't have to use spoiler tags. So to sum up the Majora's Mask references as I see them, they are:
Majora's Mask being in Link's house.
The milk bar.
Ravio's diary having a 3 days to go format
and possibly all the people wearing masks in Lorule.
Are there any more I'm missing?
They're paintings, not windows.So, this game is exploding the timeline. How nostalgic! According to the prologue and the stained glass descriptions:
1. Wars were fought for the Triforce. The seven sages sealed it away.
This was alluded to in Hyrule Historia, but referenced only Rauru as the one who sealed it away. So I guess he had some help. This never happens during the events of any game.
2. Ganon entered the realm and claimed the Triforce.
Sound familiar to anyone? This only ever happens once. In OOT.
3. Link and Zelda defeat Ganon, and the descendants of the original seven sages seal him away.
Wait.. this ALSO only ever happens once. In OOT. In the non-failed timeline branch, in fact, which this game is not part of.
4. The Triforce of Power remains with Ganon, sealed away.
Okay so basically this entire intro is recapping OOT, and not LTTP. LTTP ends with Ganon dead, and the full Triforce in Hyrule. Not sealed away with the Triforce of Power.
And then we play ALBW, and it is a sequel to these events only. It's basically where Wind Waker should be in the timeline.
The only way this isn't complete horseshit is if, as sphagnum suggested, the events of this prologue are all NEW events that take place between LTTP and ALBW. Which is.. really only BARELY less horseshit. "Imagine OOT happened again, after LTTP, and this is a sequel to that." And there are so many missing pieces there. It really just feels like all of the backstory elements of this game are just a combination of OOT and LTTP events shuffled together randomly and in impossible sequence.
A couple things do suggest that they're indeed new events, though, beyond the baseline "there is literally no other option." Ganon is sealed away "in darkness" at the end of the prologue, rather than in the Sacred Realm. They talk about the seven sages sealing away the Triforce, which as far as we know only Rauru did originally. And when the "descendents" of those sages seal away Ganon, Rauru was involved in that similar event in OOT, and he can't really be his own descendent. The "wars" fought for the Triforce prior to its sealing could refer to the Imprisoning War and LTTP.
It doesn't really explain how Ganon came back to life after LTTP and went after the Triforce in the realm, though. It REALLY sounds like the prologue is describing the events of OOT there. What a mess.

This is how I think of it. Yuga summoned Ganon in Lorule. Lorule is a parallel world thats basically a lot similar to Hyrule. So Lorule must have a Ganon version of Hyrule too. Lorule's seven sages are mostly dead from the crumbling world so Princess Hilda request Yuga to steal the seven sages from Hyrule in order to summon Ganon in Lorule. The Hyrule Ganon is completely dead from ALttP.
So technically the Ganon we fight is not from Hyrule but from Lorule.
The only discrepancy I'm trying to figure out is how this Ganon got the triforce of power in Lorule when it was destroyed completely...
