Like Sans being Ness in a failed timeline is funny and actually possible if not for IP infringement but I'm not even talking about shit like that. For some reason due to creepypastas people think half the zelda games are links dying fever dream. However this is r-slurred as the official zelda timeline lists every major zelda. All of them are canon in explicit detail. Why would this even be a thing anyone would bring up?

Oracle of Ages was great, I probably beat it a half dozen times. How was Seasons?

No email address required.
it's very good, I preferred it to Ages, although I've heard that that's not a common opinion. But the two games are meant to be played together anyway, because you need both games to reach Ganon and see all the extra content.
Although now that I think about it, despite playing them both many many times, I don't think I ever did the "full" run of the two: Seasons -> Link Ages -> Hero Ages -> Link Hero Seasons

In Twilight Princess Link is the descendant of the hero , and works on the same farm as Malon in OoT. Malons Father also suggest that he should marry her in OoT, so it wouldn't be unreasonable that the hero of time settled down with Malon after being sent back.

The real way to break it down is that "the curtains were blue" can act as a means towards setting the mood. Yes they were blue, but by being specifically blue the author brings out feelings of somberness, possibly calmness. This isn't necessarily some gigabrain conscious decision on the author's part. It's could just be the author picking a color based on the "vibe" they were getting from the scene while writing it. It "felt" better than say red curtains or brown curtains. They didn't necessarily deconstruct it. They just pick what felt best in a way the reader can also benefit from. !besties !pingkings someone ping bookworms for me please

Pointing out symbolism has always been seen as pretentious, as far as I'm aware. I think the point is that people find meaning in the most random shit and it rarely reflects what the author meant.
Nothing wrong with some speculations, but nowadays most "theories" tend to be just a product of some neurodivergent cute twink trying to project himself and his worldviews in whichever media he consumes. Which are taken as facts by said neurodivergent cute twinks.

I had a mental English teacher who would make us write essays about non-existent motifs in books we were reading on days she didn't want to teach, which was most days because she was a fat. She didn't let us use more than a page per essay and it had to be double-spaced so you'd have to write extremely small in order to fill in whatever insane request she had for the day. She also tried to ban Catch 22 from the library at one point lol high school was surreal

What I really hate is strags on YouTube who are like "I fixed X!" or "I rewrote X!" and it's like no you fricking didn't, you had a couple ideas. You did not draw a comic, you did not film a movie or even write a script, you did not write a book. You did not do any of the parts where ideas even CAN go wrong. If you're telling me that you imagining a cool piece of media is "writing," then every time you jerk off you should also post a video called "I fricked a hot Asian MILF"

!bookworms, !kino, what if everyone who suggested "it was all in [insert character]'s head" was beat to death with a copy of Ambrose Bierce's An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge and Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and their deaths were then incorporated into the work itself? Isn't that a wacky theory? Wouldn't that make the story much more interesting than actually paying attention to what's happening on the page or screen?

The "it was all in the main character's head" bullshit is easily the most annoying fanfic theory to litter the internet. It's lazy, stupid, and unoriginal. "But what if it was all just in his head?" is less than one step removed from reality. The entire thing was just all in the writer's head in the first place you fricking morons.
