The Title Screen Paradox in Ocarina of Time (Zelda)

Probably one of the strangest areas in the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is actually the title screen. It's a window into the game world that we never normally have access to. We see Link as an adult before we even know we are to become one. But what if we were to wrong warp to the title screen in OOT? And what if we took that Link that is present there, and tried to figure out where he actually was within the story? What we find ourselves in is indeed a paradox... and the start of a Zelda mystery that is pretty darn confusing.

It's a dream. Link is asleep, dreaming of riding across Hyrule Field on Epona. It's why he can't remember how he got there and why everything's a little off and not consistent with the real world. And when you start the game? ...He wakes up inside his house in Koriri Forest. >>You never really remember the beginning of a dream, do you? You always wind up right in the middle of what's going on.

It's incurable, but can be treated with challenges like 3-heart runs, finding fun glitches and exploits, speedrunning, and rom-hacks like randomizers. Ask your doctor if this is the right treatment option for you. Results may vary.

From a story perspective, this Link seems to be one who was supposed to have been sent back to his time by Zelda after defeating Ganon but something went wrong between the magic of the Ocarina and the Master Sword/Temple of Time. This would explain why he doesn't have the Ocarina of Time because he already gave it to Zelda at the end of the game, but he would have the Fairy Ocarina because it was a gift from Saria so he would have held on to it.

This game never ceases to fill my brain with fond memories of my childhood. I miss my secluded house in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by bushes, and nothing but an N64 with some great games to pass the time when it was raining, or too dark to play outside. CastleVania: Legacy of Darkness, SM64, OoT, Majora's Mask, 007: Golden Eye, Smash Bros, DK64, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, Pod Racers, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, Mario Kart 64, Yoshi Story, Banjo Kazooie/Tooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Glover, and many more... These N64 games started many of our lifelong obsessions with Nintendo ❤️

I think the same as well. It's a timeline were Link either never opened the Door of Time to the Master Sword, or he did and just never pulled the Sword. There can be a number of reasons why, too, Maybe Ganondorf found a way to achieve his goals without needing to open The Sacred Realm. Or perhaps what if Link was somehow deemed worthy and able to weild the Master Sword as a Child thus was never sealed away for 7 years in the Sacred Realm. What if one of Ganondorf's minions, say, Koume and Kotake, had a vision or prophecized Ganondorf's defeat by the Hero of Time. What if Ganondorf WAITED............bided his time........held his hand..........and just slowly crept towards his goal in such an incremental way it was almost impossible to stop or notice him?

I'll run with that. Head canon: Ganondorf wins, by all means and sense of the word. But as years pass, he realizes he'll never achieve any victory or success again. His greatest foe, the Hero of Time, the weilder of the Tri Force of Courage gone. That's a milestone he'll never achieve ever again. Perhaps, after he obtains the Tri Force of Wisdom, he can realize this. Complete domination and rule of Hyrule and all the lands is empty and fruitless. What he truly enjoyed was watching his perfect plan finally unfold just the way he wished. And finally, obtaining the Tri Force of Courage.....finally weilding all three and gaining God Like status......he had the Courage............to undo his victory. Reverting Hyrule....or rather, creating a new Hyrule, as it once was. Bringing Link back....bringing Zelda back. Relinquishing control of the Tri Force of Wisdom and Courage back to their "true" owners. And informing them....that he's already won. That now they have another chance. To let the games begin anew. Round 2, if you will. To test himself, against Link and the world all over again. To put truth back in the original threat, that he will always return (not possible if he isn't defeated) That there can be no light that does not cast a shadow. That darkness has no purpose or meaning without light. Daring fate and the Goddesses themselves to defy him once more. In the end, all Ganon really wanted was acknolewdgement. That, and a better life, a better world, for his people, the Gerudos. Head canon, some where out there, in some version of Hyrule.....sits Ganondorf and Link. Not across from one another....but side by side. Sipping Lon Lon Milk....... Ganondorf: .....wanna go again? Link: ...... *Finishing his milk and setting it down* Hyaaah! *And both stepping out. The Dude Bros they always were*

It's end game Link after Zelda sent him back in time. He still had all his items, then he grew up normally. Meanwhile while he's aging normally, his past self, the Link you usually play as, is going through the game as normal, but because end game link warned everyone of Ganondorfs actions, it creates wierd time paradoxes, for example the Deku tree being alive.

The deku tree died when link was young because of the curse set upon him that when the Ghoma queen (a parasite) died it would kill the deku tree almost as if that's what was keeping the deku tree alive to have something to feel and prey on whether it dies or not the deku tree comes back regardless also apparently in every timeline or something like that they all wraparound back to the breath of the wild events

I like this concept. To fully realize it, let's go a bit further: Zelda wanted to give Link back his childhood. And did exactly that. However, the timeline couldn't exist, as it did... not without Link's sacrifice. So, rather than making it "not exist", Link was split into two souls: the boy from Kokiri Village and The Hero of Time. The Hero of Time became Title Screen LINK. He had all the skills, knowledge and items of the adult timeline, but... his past was something that was foreign to him. The only remembrance he had being an ocarina from years long past. An important relic, for reasons he could not comprehend. And, not knowing what else to do, LINK went on to use his skills and equipment to confront the great evil of the land and slay him, protecting the timeline by saving the princess, so that she could send the boy from Kokiri Village back to his home... But forcing LINK to forever be trapped in a loop... Of being sent back to the past... Of forgetting his childhood... Of defeating Gannondorf. But... the boy from Kokiri Village was not content with this separation. He clearly still remembered the adult timeline, rushing to Zelda and informing her of Gannondorf's betrayal. But he didn't end his adventures there, as Zelda had intended... He decided that even though she had "saved" him from being needed in Hyrule... The adventure had not been a burden. He had yearned for it. Strived for it. Lived for it. And he missed it. And so, he rode into woods, preparing to leave Kokiri Village behind... but along the way, he bumped into a devious child... wearing a peculiar mask.

In this case he treats it like it's some crazy lore mystery when it's just developers putting in the minimum work necessary to get a functional title screen. Next thing we know he's going to start making videos explaining the lore behind gameshark codes.

This is the link of the stories. No one really remembers the events in-between, only the successes and the origin. This link has all of the things he has earned on his adventures, yet anything not told in story is forgotten. No one but Link and Zelda knew he had the Ocarina of time truly; why would they tell anyone? Thus, it was Link's own power that opened the door of time so far as anyone knows... and as far as the game does. Who would have known, also, that he could go back to his younger state? What purpose would speaking of it serve? Thus, he can only have been seen as an adult in this adventure - he must've been a child once, which is why the child cutscene plays. He can still beat Gannondorf, as it was in the Old Tales. This is nothing more than the Hylian's view of the tale, not the True Link.. yet he has the Courage of the True Hero.

the problem with that is that the objective of hyrule warriors was to prevent everything from merging. and the only interaction diffrent timelines had in that game was that short fusion between child(where the game takes place) and adult. downfall was not even part of the picture. so no,I dont see how that could be the case unless there are events after that game. Not to mention that it makes more sence to say the timelineconvergance is just an easy way for nintendo to get out of the mess they have written themselves into and botw actually happens after zelda2 and the references to child and adult come from the royal family once having used the tryforce to share the knowledge of the multiverse with their own hyrule and that event was just forgotten,all three timelines were assumed to be mere legends as the diffrent tales from link wins and link loses contradict each other. adult cannot even have botw and child is very unlikely as that timeline ended with ganons reincarnation getting sealed in the foursword.

I absolutely loved the video and was thinking about it the entire time, so I decided to comment the headcanon I built for this Link I imagine that this Link is from a fourth timeline, but one that already split before the ending of the game. Link went off to his adventure, taking the fairy ocarina and leaving the forest, but he never went to the princess. He just spent time doing nothing, until Ganondorf took over Hyrule. That’s when Link realized his mistake, his sloth as he did nothing and paid the price. From that point onwards, he spends seven years fighting off ganon, acquiring the master sword, awakening the seven sages and obtaining every item, feeling guilty for not being fast enough. And that’s when the intro kicks in. LINK, as the game calls him, is a version of him that was never destined to exist. He was supposed to save the world. So when you defeat Ganon, you finally rid LINK of his guilt, redeeming him as a hero of time.

I think the interesting thing about this particular Link is that... you know, he has all these things, but he's still yet to _earn_ them, almost like he came across a fallen hero's stash and was guided through each trial to earn them proper. If we then assume the Master Sword can only be wielded by the Hero of Time, which is supposed to be a hero reborn in the time of the world's need, t5hat would place Link either as the true hero, or a swordsman/adventurer unable to actually use the blade, instead relying on the GK/BGS. There's a lot to think about on this theory, and it's gotten me curious.

This reminds me of the title screen glitch for Twilight Princess, where you restart the game while Link is sinking in quick-sand at just the right moment, and it results in letting you control Lin in the title screen. Then you can die, save the game, or do some other things to have all kinds of different effects.

Perhaps this Link's story was different, one where he set out on a journey way later, as the king of evil didn't act as soon as he did in the original OoT timeline, leading to an older Link who *did* have his adventures, just from a later starting point. As for the Spiritual Stones, maybe in a preemptive strike the different tribes sent messengers with the stones to Hyrule Temple ahead of time? This would also mean Ganondorf would have no reason to plant Gohma inside the Great Deku Tree thus he still lives in the adult timeline.

This is actually an interesting concept for a story. The hero just suddenly exists, with no memory or past, and with all the keys necessary to save the world but no knowledge of how or where to use them. But saving the world isn't the real end goal, it's solving the mystery of why you exist and how things came to be the way that they were.

I think there's something more to it, Swanky. If you were to disable the the interface while Link is in that scene setup w/ the title screen, the warps take him to other places (which doesn't happen if the interface is enabled). It's fair to say these scene setups had different transitions because the locations' positions changed during development. OoT and MM don't use FMVs, they're in real-time. A side effect is that they're bound to have notable differences once one looks deep enough.

This is clearly what's left of the Alpha/Beta Timeline. The timeline from which Child Link was never thought of for the game yet. The remnants of when it was just Adult Link that was playable in the game! In other words, the title screen is what was left of Zelda 64, before it was recycled and re-imagined into Breath of the Wild and Breath of the Wild 2!

In this timeline, Link makes it to an adult inside the Kokiri forest(He would have Coocos as partners instead of Fairies as he was growing up). The Great Deku tree gave the Spiritual Stone of the Forest to Ganandorf, and his life was spared. All the other tribal leaders did the same and with the stones convinced Impa he was a fabled hero in need of the Ocarina of Time. He gained access to Sacred Realm and was held there for some time. Hearing Ganandorf's wish the Sages set out to find items that would aid a hero in the future and were given to the Great Deku Tree. Upon reaching the cusp of adulthood Link was told the truth of his past and instead of telling him of his grim fate should he stay, he was given a quest to save all of Hyrule. Link learns he needs to defeat a powerful sorcerer but a powerful dark entity in the forest temple broke the bridge to Ganondorf's castle adding a temporal barrier teleporting anyone who got close back to the bridge's start (Cool spin on the painting gimmick?). Upon making it to the boss Link sees the face of his true enemy , and after defeating the phantom clone, learns how to defeat the real Ganondorf. Upon saving Hyrule, Link learns the truth of why he was sent on this quest, and for his service to hyrule, granted a second childhood in order to continue living in the forest. When he returns, he finds Navi is no longer with him, and begins his new quest deep in the Lost Woods to find her.

After Link defeats Ganondorf, reality starts to break. Large holes start appearing in the sky and strange, anthropomorphic birds fly through, as well as many other things. OOT Link's clothes are snatched off of him by a gust of magic wind and stuffed into chests, and then vanish in a flash with the faint whisper of "amiibo." At this point, Hyrule looks extremely different and the magic wind blows by. OOT Link, shivering from a lack of clothes, aptly names this magic wind "Breath of the Wild."
