Who did TP Link's tunic originally belong to? Because it didn't belong to him, apparently (Zelda Theory)
Plaint text: Who did TP Link's tunic originally belong to? Because it didn't belong to him, apparently. (Zelda Theory)
When the Faron the light spirit turned Link back into a human/hylian, he was wearing the famous green tunic. I was under the belief this tunic was materialized right there and then by the light spirit.
The light spirit says this green tunic belonged to an ancient hero, but Faron doesn't specify which one. Midna even calls the outfit old and dusty, or something along those lines.
Due to tp Link's close ties with the Hero of Time, I thought maybe it was his. But I immediately wrote it off. Literally made a diagram of all the differences between them.
So I thought, "Well... maybe Time made himself a new one and passed it down?"
But then it hit me. This ancient hero goes way back before Time. Faron goes on about this ancient hero, telling Twilight his power rested within him. Faron was talking about the hero's spirit itself.
And where does the hero's spirit most likely originate from? (Or rather who?)
And if you just take a gander at their two tunics, you'll notice they're practically the exact same with some minor differences.
While Twilight's tunic has some alterations and is more decorated... you can't possibly deny they are eerily similar. I've seen way too many people put Twilight in Sky's tunic or vice versa because they got them confused. Maybe it's because THAT IS THE SAME TUNIC!!!!! (With some embroidering and a new and improved armpit slit for ventilation)
Furthermore, Twilight Princess has an ancient city in the sky, it could quite possibly be the remnants left over from skyloft. Where the oocca originated, I do not want to know.
My running theory is that the Hero of the Sky was actually involved in the war that banished the Twili (the interloper war), and he and his Zelda had also been involved with the light spirits in some way. Sky could've donated his tunic to Faron, knowing a hero would one day have to deal with everything he'd left behind.
The war seems to have taken place before the founding of Hyrule, and it was during a time when the Triforce seemed readily avaliable. And what do you know? Skyward Sword is before Hyrule was founded, and the Triforce was just floating above Hylia's stone hands for all to see. Lowkey tempting amirite?
So Twilight not only got Ocarina of Time Link's hand-me-downs, but Skyward Sword Link's too!!! He is truly a nepo baby hero!!! Good for him!!! I think?
