One word, Graphics. You know nintendo. They always want to change things drastically in franchise even things so insignificant. Zelda is no different. The master sword basically is the same. The basic design is the same. The iconic hilt of it (except ALTTP hence the mention of it) is the same. They change that only to fit the Link that they were supposed to go accordingly. After all, a TP MS wouldn't fit a child sized WW lick. So I don't thnk it should be taken into account. Now for the bolded part, I can't believe it ntil I see it with my own eyes. By making Skyward sword (and the events in it) They've set the timeline in stone. However nothing can be said if they allow another timeline to exist. A completely linear seperate timeline per se.
I know that's probably Nintendo's reason. I'm just saying that, purely from a standpoint of viewing it as a story where the Master Sword should always be the same, it makes sense. My personal explanation, that's all. Besides, I think it's a cool idea that the Master Sword could change its shape based on the needs of the Hero who uses it (making itself smaller for child Link, making itself larger for adult Link, etc)
But here's the thing. Nintendo reinvents. Nintendo could have chosen to stay with the same OoT style. They didn't. They want to make the series fresh and new with every installment. (Which is no problem. actually) Such a thing shouldn't affect your viewpoint of how a story should be made.

I know they're not the same. but they appear the same, is what I'm saying. No matter which game it is, it's (almost) always a princess who HAPPENS to be named Zelda with generally the same facial features, and either blond or brown hair, and a boy who HAPPENS to be named Link, with pointy ears, brown or blond hair, and a similar personality. Of course, THAT sort of makes sense, because of
Demise's curse at the end of Skyward Sword
but it doesn't explain why OTHER characters who weren't affected by it like Beedle and Tingle magically appear in one game, and then in another game thousands of years later, or even in a different timeline split. Beedle appears in Skyward Sword and in Wind Waker. Tingle first appears in Majora's Mask in the child timeline, but reappears in Wind Waker, which is in the adult timeline. That's all I'm saying.
Again, this is all my personal speculation. I'm not saying this IS what's going on or isn't, or whatever. It's just a theory, that's all.
PS: Apparently, the Ganondorf in Four Swords Adventures is actually a different Ganondorf, interestingly enough (according to Hyrule Historia). All the other Ganons are the same, except for him.

Of course they appear the same, the all descendants of the original Zelda, (which Ironically isn't a princess LOL)
Hylia (reincarnation of a goddess).
As for Link, they all trescends from the first original Link. Those destined to be a hero must wear a the hero's tunic. (Which is green.) LOL
As for the other characters... They have their own descendants and past selves as well. Why? I don't know. It's kinda like a cursed loop. (If you catch my drift)
(as in he is stuck meeting the same people, fighting the same kinds of monsters, etc)
Again I suggest knowing the timeline basically, as lots of things are not explained or revealed.
Again, the main problem is that arbitrarily hinging one of the timelines around something that does not happen in the story proper is kind of a cheat. It feels less like a logical progression of the various stories and more like a cheap copout when the team was having trouble fitting the games' stories together.
To be entirely honest, I feel like a timeline for the Legend of Zelda series is unnecessary anyway. I'm all for having stories in games, but let's be honest; the LoZ series has never really focused on the narrative side of things. It's a pointless complication that's more of a hindrance than anything else.
That's sort of been my take lately... The way I see it, it's the Legend of Zelda, not the History of Zelda, and each game is "just one of the legends of which people speak," and, in context of the universe, by completely historical, completely legend, or most likely, a mix of both. This would explain why certain elements get reused over and over again (the rule of 3 stones, etc). Or why certain characters reappear exactly the same (besides Link, Ganon, and Zelda) when they exist hundreds or thousands of years apart (Beedle and Tingle, for example). Or why the Master Sword repeappears with different design and location in the various games.
EDIT: Lol you're right about FSA's Ganon. It's a reincarnation of the TP Ganon. He is refered as an Desert nomad that was kicked out the Gerudo's tribe.
I have a few copies of the brown limitededition and a green regular edition
The US version of the book is HUGE and heavy compared to the Japanese version
I haven't had time to flip through both the US and JP versions to compare side by side. The US copy is thicker, so I'm wondering if they added extra content.
I really want to get my hands on one of these... I don't mind the green one either, considering availability status and price haha... What I understand, there's no difference in content, just the book cover.
And Blade, for workout I suggest Absolute Sandman those. are. HUGE. And heavy!
