    Lol the timeline is bs I think. I mean it is and it isn't. I don't think they made each game with a timeline in mind. There is a rough one but there are internal inconsistencies. Still cool though.
    Free your mind and your ass will follow.

    Yeah, saying that the time travel in Ocarina of Time split the timeline into several branches, some of which explain how Ganon is still alive in future games, is cool in a way but also kinda seems like a convenient way of being like, "Now we can get away with having anything happen, and just retrofit it into the storyline by saying it was part of an alternate universe."

    AHHHHH there is a word for that and I can't fucking remember it!!!

    Also a neat thing about OoT is that it's the first hero of time ever. It's like the prequel to every other game or something.

    I assumed she was talking about using chaos theory or any other sort of other excuses for branching a timeline as a work around to retcon. Technically, it's not retcon because while it "contradicts" the other chronology (that is, while two things happen that could not normally logically coexist), the fact that there are two worlds resolves the contradiction by placing those two realities that couldn't coexist in separate realities.

    The fact that it's a little out there and fantastical (well, maybe it's not outside of reality, but outside of experienceable reality) makes it cool and interesting, but the fact that it's an obvious plot device and that it's a bit of used-up plot device makes it a bit lame when you actually think about it
