I need justice for the most retconned hero of the series who's story is so widely misunderstood and diminished. Im begging you Nintendo please fucking remake A Link to the Past so it can exist in the timeline without "fans" writing it off as a "what if" that kicks off the "2D spinoff dumping ground branch".

This is the fifth announcement of Ocarina of Time.

Plus 2 direct sequels that feature The Hero of Time's legends and his direct impact being felt generations later.

Alttp has no shortage of sequels, but they hardly acknowledge The Hero of Legend's story directly at all. Its mostly just easter eggs if anything.

A Link Between Worlds reimagined Alttp map and dungeons, but somehow doesn't corroborate Hero of Legend slaying Ganon alone and claiming the Triforce with his own bloodstained rabbit hands. Link is forced to defeat Hyrule' own soldiers and guards in this game hence his "bloody hands". Despite this, Link's "beast" form reflecting his true heart in the dark world is revealed to be a harmless pink rabbit. Fuck thats traumatic as hell but no one cares lol. Link's wanted posters were posted around Kakariko village for "kidnapping" Zelda. Villagers can call the guards on Link and the guards try to kill him instead of capture. That's dark asf too. This Link ends up witnessing so much death in this story but no one focuses on that. His story is just as tragic and hidden as the Hero of Time.

Albw backstory paintings forgot the Hero of Legend and instead nods to the Hero of Time because they depict that Ganon was sealed away by the Sages with the help of the Hero. Ravio's bunny appearance is just an ironic easter egg reference to The Hero of Legend being a rabbit and is unrelated. Like cucco lady and Anju being unrelated mirrors from different dimensions too.

At least give us one (1) remaster that tells Alttp story without the early strict localization rules and language substitutions(Ex: the sage descendants were actually SACRIFICED not trapped and its likely that's their souls residing in the blue gems). One remake that has the whole story in the game rather than being permanently exiled to a few pages of an optional game manual. One last round of retcons for the last time to work with Oot and Albw coming before and after to enrich the world building of alttp and get the DT taken seriously. And lastly hopefully Explain the Moon Pearl's connection to the Triforce and Secret stones ffs. You can't just leave a Triforce resistant relic laying around and never explain it?!

Like wtfffffff. Alttp is the backbone of later 3D Zelda conventions, lore, and music but it gets no ACTUAL updates or refreshes like Oot does.

"Alttp is a perfect game! There's no need to update it!" While I generally agree with this statement, it doesn't stop the same sentiment being used as a excuse to pressure another update of Oot. "Ocarina of Time is a perfect game! This masterpiece needs to be reintroduced to every generation!" Why not suggest alttp should be modernized for a new generation too tf? Just one (1) update from 1991 please. We can do insane stuff with games now compared to thirty years ago.

I obviously don't agree with Pony Express but think about it.

The food shortage wouldn't be an issue if you took out the person who needs food for two.

There's now enough cryopods for everyone.

Both pilots are available to continue piloting, just as before.

Without any crash incidents or pregnancy,(which Jimmy would blame both on Anya) the medic is freed up from duties. Pony Express itself doesn't care about its employees and likely views the crew medic as a luxury anyway.

Curly was fighting Pony Express to keep everyone on the crew. He just never understood that standing behind Jimmy would be the thing made him lose everything.

Pony Express wanted Curly to take responsibility by eliminating Anya to keep status quo.

But Curly went against protocol and couldn't do it because he is a captain, not a killer.
