bleck code is 3437-3076-7241
beware - I am a swapnote fiend
Oh ho, we shall see about that!
-
Anyone who adds Ocre needs to know he is a swapnote whore, and he'll make you angry that he draws so well.
I'm a bit of a spammer too, although I can't attest to the second claim
-
I've added Bahamut and Irish.
Amphibious, have you posted your code? Mine's in my sig.
-
Geez... I download Swapnote, and what's the first thing I see? 10 new notes from Gamebird.
This thing is fun, but I have no idea how to use it properly.
Ahaha...yeah.
I've been having fun with it. What can i say?
-
Metaknight was the only one the old man would let me try, but it was really good! I'm looking forward to advancing enough to be able to try the others.

Hey, GameBird here! Lol, I know it's a little confusing, having 2 names
i'm considering changing my ocr name to GameBird sometime...But yeah,I'm having lots of fun with swapnote. Very funny and talented people on there!
Edit: yeah, your replies made me lol, unstablehamster!

Well I think it's pretty clear what happened after MM. Link returns to hyrule and gets together with Malon. They then move south to the ordon province and make ordon ranch. It would explain not only why Link in TP has the triforce mark on his hand (he's a direct descendant of OoT Link) but also why the wolf spectre that teaches Link sword techniques claims to be his ancestor has what appears to be the same sword and shield that link gets in MM (the gilded sword, and the shield with the face on it.)
-
So what you're saying is, when adult link returns to the past to get the lense of truth, he returns the master sword to it's pedestal and disappears from that timeline, leaving the master sword in the temple of time, which eventually becomes overrun by the lost woods in LttP?
I suppose that makes sense, but wouldn't that mean that when he goes to the 2nd future he creates when he obtains the lense of truth, that any changes he made in the 1st future wouldn't have occured in the second? I.e. Saria was never awakened as a sage, etc.? And wouldn't that also imply that he creates a 3rd future when he obtains the power gauntlets in gerudo desert?
I find the simple possibility that Link dies and fails to be more acceptable. Sure, it creates the question of "are there other timelines for every other game if Link dies", but we aren't dealing with those possibilities, just the one presented in OoT.

TIMELINE 1: LTTP AND BEYOND
Link, as a kid, places the Kokiri Emerald, Goron Ruby, and Zora Sapphire in the Temple of Time and pulls the Master Sword from its pedestal. This removes him from the current timeline. In this timeline, there is no Hero of Time to stop Ganon. As such, he gains the full Triforce and turns the Sacred Realm into the Dark World. This is the Imprisoning War of LttP's past. When another Hero arrives years later (during LttP) Ganon doesn't think much of it originally due to the fact that he's never faced a hero at all.
I just realized that this can't work, though, since Link took the master sword with him when he disappears from the timeline, yet it's there again in LttP.
-
I suppose that makes sense, if you consider a future where Link never returned from his 7 year hiatus...but is that even a valid possibility since you do return to that same timeline, just 7 years in the future? Or is there the implication that something may happen during those 7 years that would cause link not to return?
I also find it very, very hard to believe that FSA takes place in the young link timeline. PLaying through it for the first time, I'm seeing tons of connections to LttP including near identical dungeons. It really seems like it should be in the link fails timeline.

Added!
Also, SwapNote, a free upgraded version on Pictochat, has been added to the eshop! Draw and send notes and artwork, photos and videos to your friends! It's a pretty neat little thing!
-
Actually, there are pictures from the book. Apparently these are scans from the book itself and there is translated text that details some events but nothing too grand.

In a recent Zelda artbook released in japan (over 200 pages! Whoa!) there's apparently an article on the official timeline with, wait for it: 3 alternate timeline??
Main Timeline
Skyward Sword
Minish Cap
Four Swords
Ocarina of Time
Split 1: Link defeats Ganon — childhood branch
Majora's Mask
Twilight Princess
Four Swords Adventures
Split 2: Link defeats Ganon — adult branch
Wind Waker
Phantom Hourglass
Spirit Tracks
Split 3: Link fails in Ocarina Of Time
A Link to the Past
Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons
Link's Awakening
Legend of Zelda
Zelda II: Adventure of Link
0.0
I don't think the possibility of a split timeline occurring due to Link failing, but apparently it does! I think we all need a while to process this new information...
And bear in mind this may be a mistranslation or the artbook may not be fully sanctioned by Nintendo. Whatever the case, this is all a little up in the air at the moment.
But regardless of the exact timeline, one thing has always sort of confused me: what/where is the Sacred Realm? It is a real, physical place as you go there in OoT and LttP, but what is it really? At the end of Skyward Sword, Link and Zelda have the complete triforce in the temple on the ground, around which we can presume they built hyrule. At what point did the triforce make its way into the Sacred Realm? I feel that there's a game from early on in the timeline that's missing. Hopefully the next Zelda game can fill in this strange blank.

You pretty much summed up my experience learning about the title.
Oh vell. Maybe it'll be good anyway. I've enjoyed other TD games (Pixeljunk Monsters) but yeah, you're right, that other direction would've been very cool.Why aren't we in game design?
-
I just barely realized Dillon's Rolling Western has a heavy tower defense play mechanic. Hmm.
Yeah...I just found out about that recently and it kind of killed my excitement for it. It SHOULD have just been an action combat game with maybe some RPG elements. Imagine roaming to other western towns and getting into battles with other desert animals? A gang of Rattlesnakes, a Scorpion desperado...Man, THAT would have been awesome. Instead you build towers and fight...rock...hershey kisses...

"Pondering this fact I realize...I owe the metroid hatchling my life twice over."
"I wondered if this too was a result of the power the baby gave me."
"The ship's computer has notified me of our approach to the Biologic Space Labs, or B.S.L, research station."
"I altered the course of my ship as if this detour had already been part of my flight plan."
"For some reason, this awoke a nameless fear in my heart, and now I am being sent there to investigate."
Sounds pretty similar to me.

SO!
All you people who hate Metroid Other M: Play the intro to Metroid Fusion and tell me her monologues aren't eerily familiar in both content and speech. Yet you all love Fusion so much...
-
Yay I love these games! SO much fun...Although Mario Kart sure is awkward to control now that I've gotten used to MK7 :S
-
I haven't and don't plan on using that glitch.
So after playing a bit of each mario kart game again (Except super, I don't have that, or GBA, and I played the heck out of Wii in the past) I am confident in saying that 7 is the best in the series., mostly due to having the tightest controls.
I love Mario Kart wii; it was my favorite and the first one I played since 64, but MK7 really is the best so far.
-
I'm actually kind of excited for Dillon's ROlling Western...New IP? Yes please! Plus, that's some pretty cool character design.
-
Yeah I mean it's not like they were happy with the finished product or anything
-
I love how the modding community is whipping up codes to remove the extraneous bullshit from SS. Like the item notifications, Fi's blabbering, and the stamina bar, as well as mapping the controls to the Gamecube controller (they're still working on that apparently).
Kind of sad when a bunch of people on the internet have to hack your game to make it enjoyable.
why

This game is really fun. Definitely a must have for any 3DS owner.
It wouldn't let me try your triforce puzzle! D: It said it was too advance for me...
So I made one of my own. I didn't have any clue what I was doing and made it up as I went along.
