Discuss.

I thought the rabbit people populated Hyrule with Nephilim first

>>714971302 (OP)
lol no
both are from different bloodlines and both are needed to seal the darkness
they can never be together

I have raised that as an issue with these two.

They could mate and have kids but where would that leave their kids? They're stranded in a reality where they're the only members of their species.

>>714971557
But how do they remain from different bloodlines after Zelda and Link gave birth to the first hyruleans?

>>714971302 (OP)
Ever read that Bible fantasy book?

>>714971557
Only The Goddess requires a specific bloodline. The Hero has never cared about lineage but rather a certain type of character

what if zelda is just a state of mind?

>>714971720
Hylians. And Tears makes it clear that the Hylians and the Zonai were already separate populations that were joined together in marriage

thanks nintendo

did they though?

>>714971864
Well it kind of is. The Royal Family traditionally names their daughters "Zelda." But when it came time for Wild Zelda to fulfill her role, she couldn't. She could see The Goddess in her dreams but couldn't hear her voice

>I had a dream last night... In a place consumed by darkness, a lone woman gazed at me, haloed by binding light. I sensed she was...not of this world. I don't know if she was a fairy or a goddess, but she was beautiful. Her lips spoke urgently, but her voice did not reach me. Would I have heard her if my power was awoken? Or was my dream simply a manifestation of my fears? I am sure I will know the answer soon, whether I wish to or not...

>>How is it not incest?
Genetics.

>>714971302 (OP)
Zeldas are descended from previous Zeldas, while Links just show up and are usually unrelated to previous Links. It isn't incest once they are distant enough cousins, or else every relationship in the real world would be incest.

I'm pretty sure each Link is just a random guy, not a descendant of previous Links.
Links just appear throughout the ages. Same with Impa, Dampe and whoever else has appeared in multiple games. Maybe it's a reincarnation thing.

>>714971897
Pretty sure the Zonai are a post-Skyward-Sword thing. They didn't actually found OoT-era Hyrule.
The whole thing is, they forwarded the timeline from Wind Waker 10.000+ years with BotW, so that by BotW it's about 10.200 years AFTER Wind Waker, but at some point between Spirit Tracks and the backstory to TotK Hyrule was laid bare again, and then inhabited by the Zonai. The Zonai then founded "nu-Hyrule" which is the nu-lore that permeates nu-Zelda games. A soft-reboot if you will.
But it's still connected back to the original Hyrule, and Zelda and Link are both blood descendants ultimately, of Skyward Link and Skyward Zelda.

>>714972603
After Tears in pretty sure the timeline is a crock of shit. But the series is very consistent in that Zelda is always a bloodline inheritance while Link's are just random guys who are courageous at heart

>>714971302 (OP)
It is not incest, because it is wincest.

>>714972603
In Wind Waker they state he is not blood-related to the Hero of Time, so that checks out. But TP-Link is, and Zelda is too, but that game implies no romanticism between the two, and OoT Link ended up boning Malon.
My headcanon is that Hero of Time actually went missing in the future-canon as a result of getting removed forcibly by the Goddesses after he broke through OoT-Zelda's hymen, and that's why Link had to be reborn from scratch and the entire Zelda world had to restart. Otherwise post-OoT-future canon would've been full of malformed retards, but that's kinda what they look like in TP. It seems there's maybe a 50/50 chance that you get the recessive genes in that timeline.

Daily reminder link has never has a father.

He's had an "uncle" who probably isn't blood related and a grandma in wind waker

The idea that every link and zelda are distant relations isn't so far fetched as royal family trees are fucking huge so link's father could be zelda's sixth cousin twice removed and be basically unrelated

>Nintendo future-proofed the games by omitting mentions of incest for Steam Store guidelines after Nintendo goes third party.
Good.

>>714971302 (OP)
A couple centuries of separation are basically strangers, much less several millennia.

>>714971302 (OP)
Best Link got his big-titted firecrotch instead of getting wrapped up in Fujibayashi’s goddess waifu fanfic, and his descendant is a certified shortstack aficionado.

>>714971302 (OP)
>How is it not incest?
because they are reincarnations

>>714971302 (OP)
You do realize you're related to all other humans on planet earth, right OP?

If the degree of separation between Lino and Zelda is 10000+ years, they might as well be more genetically distant than you and whoever your future girlfriend will be (if you ever get one), unless she's like, pure blooded asian or African.

>>714971302 (OP)
It's fine even if it is (very common in royal families anyways)

I hate subhuman who pretend to care about story in video games

>>714971663
>They're stranded in a reality where they're the only members of their species.
Not gonna be true if both Rivet and Ratchet end up finding the Lombax dimension after their cross-universe road trip.

>>714971302 (OP)
does this answer your question

>>714972914
BotW Link had a dad and little sister in concept art.

Zelda is gonna pull a LGBT like Peach and scoff and grunt while snubbing him and telling him he can’t have sex with her, which is what strong women do chud.

>>714972914
Oot link is stated to have had a mother

Only Zelda has blood connections to previous Zeldas. Link for the most part is always just some dude who just so happens to look like the previous hero

Links are not always related. In Spirit Tracks Niko never mentions Link being hes buddy's grandson, nobody does, because he isn't.

>>714975726
I love video game stories

>>714971302 (OP)
It is (and that's a good thing)

>>714977319
Well, you have trash taste. Video games are meant to be played, so don't lecture me about some boring story that nobody cares about. I spent money to have fun, not to concern myself with your absurd story

>>714977118
Really? That's unbelievable

>>714977639
Thanks to Fujibayashi's retcons in Skyward Sword, Link is an artificial knight soul made by Hylia, which she sends to reincarnate whenever necessary and then manipulates events around people he cares about to urge him into action.
>Helmaroc King catching Aryll
Hylia's masterplan
>Bulblins capturing Ilia and the kids
She planned it
>Gohma killing the Deku Tree
You know it...

Goddess Hylia can do whatever she wants she doesn't need to make sense to you.

>>714971302 (OP)
they're reincarnations, not biological descendants

>>714971302 (OP)
hey
you know how you have a mom and dad
a generation takes let's say 25 years
so 5000 years was 200 generations ago
your mom and dad both had their own mom and dad, so 2 generations back you have 4 ancestors
how many ancestors did you have 200 generations back
there weren't that many humans in existence
you are inbred

>>714976074
I agree. Tears seems to be a retelling of skyward to me since it hits a few of the big narrative beats. A Hero from the sky, the origins of the Master sword, the origins of ganon, that ancient robot civilization, time travel shenanigans . My theory of course has some big holes. No mention of the birds that appear in hylian sybology, the written history found on the zora murals, the different races found between games.

Let's say you're immortal, Elf style. (That is to say, eternally youthful but will still die to having a sword go in your brain).

You have a child with some woman, maybe you love her, maybe you don't, irrelevant.

How many generations later, (assuming no meddling), does it take to no longer count as "incest"?
>Grandfather
Incest, clearly
>Great Grandfather
Still incest
>Great-Great-Great-Great Uncle Thrice Removed
Incest?

Socially yeah I guess it's all incest, but I wonder how far genetically you need to go to reach "safe" distance? If you're truly immortal and have a kid even every hundred years or so, as those kids have their own children, in theory won't it reach a point where basically every single person in a region is related to you somehow? And that's just assuming you are the only immortal, in elf society pretty much everyone is going to be related and the Elven Musical Instrument of choice would be the Banjo alongside traditional elven garb of overalls and flannel shirt.

Don't put a Geiger counter near that lake, you'll find shitload of radioactive waste, in true soviet fashion.

>>714971549
Yea basically, Zelda's bloodline is supposed to be that. And Hyrule is now Mystery Babylon.
I wouldn't be surprised if Fuijibayashi is a freemason

>>714971302 (OP)
2 thousand years ago adam and eve populated earth, 18+ years ago your parents conceived you, how is it not incest

>>714971302 (OP)
2 thousand years ago adam and eve populated earth, thousands of years later there descendents continue to have sex, is it incest?

>>714979464
>Tears seems to be a retelling of skyward to me since it hits a few of the big narrative beats
Guess the theory that every game's a retelling of the same legend holds more water.

>SS zelda fucked groose
>botw and totk are on a timeline removed from all other games

>>714978816
I fucking hate Fujibayashi and his fanon interpretation of Zelda's universe.
>Muh Goddesses were ACTUALLY highly advanced technology made by an old civilization that looked Godlike to cavemen
>What if Hyrule was founded by FURRIES!?
Fuck off...
