The Legend of Zelda: Solving the Mystery of Wind Waker Link

🕵️‍♂️Wind Waker Link does not meet the requirements of a hero in the Zelda franchise, based on his lack of bloodline connection to the Royal Knights.

🗺️The geography of Wind Waker's world suggests that Link's family was not affiliated with the Knights of Hyrule, further disqualifying him as a hero.

🔗The Curse of Demise, which ties Ganon's life to the spirit of the hero, is broken by the Hero of Wind's defeat of Ganondorf in Wind Waker.

🌊The events of Wind Waker lead to the flooding of Hyrule and the establishment of a new timeline where Ganon does not re-emerge.

👸We propose the exciting theory that Zelda herself could become the ultimate hero, ending the curse of Ganon and saving Hyrule.

Is Wind Waker Link a true hero?

—No, based on the requirements set forth by the Zelda franchise, Wind Waker Link does not meet the criteria of a hero due to his lack of bloodline connection to the Royal Knights.

What is the significance of the Curse of Demise?

—The Curse of Demise is a key plot element in the Zelda series, tying Ganon's life to the spirit of the hero. Breaking this curse is crucial in preventing Ganon from returning in future installations of the franchise.

What is the timeline of the Zelda series?

—The Zelda series timeline is a complex web of branching paths, with Wind Waker falling in the adult timeline where Ganon's reemergence is prevented. The events of Wind Waker lead to the flooding of Hyrule and the reshaping of the world.

Will Zelda become the ultimate hero in future Zelda games?

—While this is purely speculation, our proposed theory suggests that Zelda could become the ultimate hero, breaking the cycle of Ganon's revival and saving Hyrule. This would be a dramatic and poetic evolution for the series.

Is it possible for a non-Link character to be the hero in Zelda games?

—While the series has typically focused on the character of Link as the hero, there is no definitive rule stating that only Link can be the hero. The Zelda series is known for its evolution and surprises, so a future game featuring Zelda as the hero is not out of the realm of possibility.
