      I mean, to be fair, originally in ALTTP it was said that Ganon betrayed and wiped out his followers and fellow thieves purely so he could, alone, take the Triforce. This is actually more aligned to the Original Ganon concept.

      @@zirrous I think it’s safe to say this is either a completely separate timeline, or the Fallen Hero timeline no longer refers to OoT Link but maybe a Link between SS and OoT or just the theory that most people had pre-Hyrule Historia that most of the games are just retellings of each other.
      It’s hard to believe the Gerudo keep producing and falling for a king of the same exact name that keeps shaming their culture and leading this into ruin and kingdom war. It’s like if in 100 years another guy named Hitler runs for German Chancellor and no one puts two and two together.

We have to remember that all other bits and pieces of information we have showed that botw was the furthest in the timeline of any other game. And the great calamity before botw happened 10,000 years in the past. The great plateau also has ruins that look like the castle town from OoT.

      And then TOTK showcased that the original castle and kingdom was indeed on the Great Plateau. That's where Rauru and Sonia lived the whole time.

      After careful thinking, I'm absolutely positive that this is a completely different Legend of Zelda origin story than Skyward Sword. Meaning it's a completely different timeline separate from the other games. This Ganondorf is what Demise was. The war that Hylia fought didn't happen, it was Zelda and the Zonai. That to me is a better explanation than "oh it's just so far in the future that everything melts together." Especially since the Zonai didn't exist in Skyward Sword and the battle was over the Triforce not Tear Stones.

    I have a bit of a big question. If this is part of the Zelda connected timeline, this would technically be the very first incarnation of Ganondorf after Demise. If that is the case, why did other Ganondorf's come to exist? Totk Ganondorf never died, he's still alive and was just sealed away, meaning that as time passed, another Ganondorf came to exist with similar goals and motives to the first. With that being the case, this Ganondorf would not be a part of the resurrection cycle as through each timeline, through every fight between Link and Ganondorf, Totk's Ganondorf was always there, biding his time until he was released.

      This isn’t the first Ganondorf. This Ganondorf is one in the FAR Distant Future that the past games are only remembered as myths and legends. I’m betting this takes place in the Wind Waker timeline because at the end of that game they sailed off to find a new Hyrule. Considering one of the Leviathans in the previous game was essentially a beached whale and in game they say it probably died when the sea dried, I’m willing to bet this is Hyrule reclaimed from the Great Sea.

    it is rather fitting that it is once again Good men's hubris that lead to evil triumphing, Rauru made the same mistake the Hyrulean King did in OOT, but had even more knowledge and power, and even insight into Ganondorf, being so sure you can control the situation despite someone from the future warning you, is the height of arrogance and hubris, it is foolishness to a level no one in actual human history can compare to.

    Trying to sort out where this game is on the timeline is tricky.
    They just name drop this conflict as the Imprisoning War. And it partly matches what LTTP tells us. There's clearly no Link/hero for this battle. So the forces of Hyrule and 7 sages band together to stem the tide and seal Ganondorf away. But what we see in LTTP doesnt lineup with this game. In this game, there's no triforce, no sacred realm.
    My first thought was that Nintendo is just massively retconning past games. Using the purposefully muddled timeline references all throughout the BOTW/TOTK Hyrule as a way to say that the more time passes between events, the more distorted memory of them becomes.
    Maybe what we play in LTTP is just the result of the actual story being lost to time and changing.
    But that can't happen because if TOTK is the REAL story of the Imprisoning War, then everything else about Hyrule's history is wrong. LTTP happens because the Hero of Time failed his quest to stop Ganondorf in OOT. But, if the real story of the Imprisoning War is as we see in TOTK, we wouldnt have a Ganon for Link to fight in the original LOZ and onward.
    The Gerudo in the BOTW note that a male is born among them only once every 100 years. But, no male Gerudo have been born since the one who became the Calamity. Which is this same Ganondorf we see in TOTK. His power reaching out in the form of malice/gloom WAS Calamity Ganon. It's clear that despite being a mummy, trapped by Rauru's magic for thousands of years, Ganondorf was still very much alive. When Calamity Ganon resurfaced for BOTW, he wasted no time in hijacking the same methods used to beat him last time in taking over the Guardians, Divine Beasts, etc.
    There's no way this Imprisoning War is the same one from LTTP. Ganondorf, as previously mentioned, is sealed by Rauru's magic for thousands of years. The Gerudo haven't seen a male born to them since the one who became the Calamity. We couldn't even have OOT if this was the case.
    So when I thought that this was a retcon by Nintendo, I thought it was changing the events of past games, but its not. I think Nintendo is using this to retcon the entirety of the Zelda timeline away from the triple split and to a more unified one thats easier to keep track of and build on.
    There just isnt a way for TOTK to be the real story of what happened while the events of other games also exist as actual moments in Hyrule's history.
    I nearly convinced myself that the humans we see in Skyward Sword were actually Zonai and when they came down from the sky, they founded Hyrule and all that good stuff.
    But that can't work because that would mean the Zonai built all this fancy technology and then forgot how to do so when they went skyward. Which makes Rauru's musings on the Zonai constructs still sticking to their labors after many thousands of years all moot because he shouldn't remember much, if anything, about them.
    Point is, I think Nintendo is using these games as a chance to get away from the triple split timeline and move to a more cohesive one.

    I see a lot of people confused thnking this is a new universe or that this is not the first Ganondorf. The truth is, this is , the same universe and this is the first incarnation of ganondorf.
    The memories take place when the kingdom was founded hence, in the era of prosperity, after the skyward sword which proceded the era of chaos and before the minish cap. It was in this era when the Kingdom was stablished canonically. So yeah this is the first ganondorf after demise that´s why he looks so similar. He was techincally killed by rauru that´s why he was re encarnated in the Ganondorf of ocarina of time. The games are old so ofcourse there would be some retcons but it fits perfectly in the timeline. This is the first sealing war. The other games occured in the time expand of more than 10 thousand years, all the enviromental references that appear in breath of the wild confirms this. One even mentions Link from twilight princess. Or also Zelda referencing the heros of sky, twilight and sea.
    It´s hard to bealive that this Ganondorf was sealed deep under the castle in all the previous games but that is a side effect of a 35 year old franchise.

Calamity ganon is never mentioned by Zelda in the past even when she sees ganondorf as if those events never happened. The literal Triforce is never mentioned either as the focus is now on these secret stones that were also created by the gods. Rauru being the first king of hyrule makes absolutely no sense either. It’s clear that the Zelda team wants to try new ideas and move on from the pre established lore without officially saying they are done with the old stories.
