Headline is misleading. There is no canon timeline and never has been, regardless of what officially-licensed book it was published in.
The game designers have said many times that they don’t take any sort of timeline into account when designing a new Zelda game. They nail down the mechanics, and the story comes next, and if it happens to match up thematically in relation to another game, that’s just a bonus.
Okay, so we all agree that guy turned himself into a bizarre-looking freak, but can we agree that his tattoo is at least kinda cool?
I’m gonna try and forget I even read this comment.
Oh of course, the list of horrors is endless. Philosophers desperate to maintain the existence of a benevolent deity have wrestled for two thousand years to solve the problem of evil, and none of them ever came any closer than shrugging and presuming that there must be an unsurmountable flaw in our understanding of the universe that blinds us to his plan. A flaw in us, his allegedly perfect creation. Whoops, there’s that nagging contradiction again.
It’s still a pretty young technology, and it took a few years to understand the impacts of it. We’ve had them long enough now to be able to see how detrimental they have been to the first generation using them.
Canonically speaking, according to the lore, God is a huuuuge dick, so if you believe God exists at all, it’s not hard to believe he’s up there throwing hurricanes and fires at us just because he can. Because he’s a dick.
I’d love to see Monkey Island revived as a more open-world style game on the order of Fallout.
Happy beanniversary. The standard gift is beans.
