The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

[Ayen]

I'm not sure I can even justify a Wii U. Not with my finances

We need to start a charity for everyone who's too poor to buy a Wii U! HYRULE DEPENDS ON IT!

Oh, and something else I read on another site, I'll spoiler tag it since it was that way on there: (SPOILER)"Our hero has been asleep for 100 years, a callback to Link’s previous adventures (Aonuma told us some conventions don’t change) but he wakes up to some dire circumstances: the world has been ravaged in the time Link’s been asleep by Calamity Ganon, a fog-like beast that creates a dark mist around what looks like Hyrule Castle."

Okay, so based on your spoiler tag, it's a bit like (SPOILER)Final Fantasy XII: Lightning Returns?

Also, I have a wider question. I'm not a big Zelda lore person, or even a huge Zelda fan. So how could the Hero of Time lose to Ganon, thus creating two alternate timelines? I thought Link won at the end of every game?

Of course, I've played like, three. So I could be wrong.

(SPOILER)Sounds like it.

At the end of OoT Zelda sends Link back to his childhood thus creating the time split. With no Link to sleep in safety and grow up into the hero that stopped Ganondorf that created a timeline where Ganon won.

I'm by no mean an expert on it since I haven't looked at it, so I could stand corrected. This game actually makes me want to read up on the Zelda timeline, and I never wanted to before. So props to Nintendo.
