The internet doesn't seem to care, but is this page just misleading? Or is this actually something going on that she's out late or my copy of HW isn't updating right?

| == Found some enemy types == | | ==Rank 5 Elements== |
| | So. Rank 5 weapons were added with the LA DLC pack for Legends (and only for legends). These weapons have two elements attached. EX: Young Link gets the Inflamed Deity's mask, which gives him heartburn... I mean It gives him the ability to deal Fire Damage in addition to dark. The game points out element shift is done automatically based on whatever element will deal more damage to the foe (And subsequently confirming elemental weaknesses and resistances are in fact a thing the game has). This brings me to my point: How do we add this to the character table without making a mess of it? And other tables on other pages as well?--[[User:Lego3400|Lego3400]] ([[User talk:Lego3400|talk]]) 07:14, 8 July 2016 (UTC) |

| ::Given that the games plot revolves around a <nowiki>'</nowiki>''sealed evil''<nowiki>'</nowiki> being split into 4 parts, 1 being sealed in the master sword, and 3 being sent to the "''depths of space-time''". It's possible Cia could be pulling monsters from other parts of the Zelda timeline, specifically the parts where the 3 pieces of the sealed evil could have been sent. We have enemies from 3 periods of time in the timeline so far; Skward Sword enemies, Ocarina of Time/Majoras Mask Enemies, and Twilight Princess enemies. Not to mention if the initial skyward sword enemy designs in the beta trailer were just placeholders, they would have been changed by now. We know the game was 70% done when the official website became available online, so it's obvious they are very far in development. If they weren't going to use these enemy designs in the final product, they wouldn't be used in official media when the game is so close to being finished.<br>[[User:Ixbran|Ixbran]] ([[User talk:Ixbran|talk]]) 20:52, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

| :::I agree with Kryten on this that they're very likely placeholder images, ''but'' it would do little harm to create the page with the enemies, since as far as we can tell, they're elements of the game just as other pictures are.

| | I understand that I'm likely to get some flack for this suggestion, but I really feel that we do not need the Hero Characters and Villain Characters sections that are currently on this page.

But I am specifically talking about the Hero and Villain Characters sections.<br/>Zelda Wiki has its own style of formatting pages. We are not intended to be like Wikipedia, which lists a topic's characters in a bullet list. We already have a dedicated listing for this game, [[Characters in Hyrule Warriors]]. Plus with the way we have the Playable Characters section, it's like the character listings are being repeated twice. It is redundant.

| == Hyrule Warriors info via famitsu leak: Zelda and Midna confirmed playable. == | | ==Hyrule Warrior's status as a non-spin-off== |
| | In the Encyclopedia, as sourced in my most recent edit which is getting reverted, Nintendo's most reliably official source of Zelda information, the "other games" (games that are not part of the "main seventeen"; pre-Breath of the Wild, which make up the canon chronology) into three distinct sections of "spin-offs", "appearences in other games", and "other" and gives definitive definitions for each one. |
| | *Spin-offs are games that are set outside the canon Zelda chronology, but are still considered to be set in the canon world (e.g. [[Link's Crossbow Training]]) |
| | *Games in "appearences in other games" are not set in the canon world. They are games that simply ''feature'' generic aspects from the Zelda world along with it's related lore, and it's characters. They are basically considered games where ''Zelda'' guest stars. |
| | *The "other" section lists a bunch of other video games in which Zelda content has bee included in passing, but not with regards to any lore or story content. Stuff akin to the Switch port of ''Skyrim'' having Zelda [[Amiibo]] support. |
| | **There is also a third seperate section which is reserved for Tingle's own mini-series of games. |
| | Hyrule Warriors is placed in the "appearences in other games". This is the same category as games like all [[Super Smash Bros]] titles, [[Soul Calibur II]] (Link guest stared in the Gamecube version) and Sonic Lost World's [[The Legend of Zelda Zone|Zelda Zone]]. In actual fact, that is the order in which the examples appear in that section and Hyrule Warriors is placed AFTER all three of those other examples, which in itself basically signifies that Nintendo does not consider the game to even by as big on the "appearences in other games" as those three things. Although this last part would be pure original research interpretation on my part. That being said, everything else about this is just factual information. The edit is hardly confusing if you ask me. It is important information about the official status of the game, sourced via Nintendo's own words and definitions. If you can think of a less confusing way to word the information, then be my guest and change it. If you have any issues with the actual core information contained within my edits, please discuss them here. Thanks. --[[User:Catcure|Catcure]] ([[User talk:Catcure|talk]]) 05:00, 16 June 2019 (UTC) |

| | :Hey there, thank you for taking the time to write this up. Though I must warn you about edit warring. When one of the staff member undo one of your edit, it is generally not a mistake. Not saying that we are always right, but let's just say we know a thing or two about how this wiki is structured. You really shouldn't have added back your edit that many times, in the future, please write about it on the discussion page (here) or come and discuss it with us on the [https://discordapp.com/invite/eJnnvYb Discord server].<br/>As for your edit itself, I find it very interesting that Nintendo has put Hyrule Warriors games in this "section" of the book. Hyrule Warriors definitely checks all the marks as a spin-off. Encyclopedia defines a spin-off as being <code>Zelda releases that do not necessarily have a place on the core timeline but are still set in the same world</code>. Let's review those points together: |
| | :*'''Hyrule Warriors is not part of the core timeline.''' Hyrule Warriors '''is not''' canon, and never will be. Because <code>it exists as a separate dimension, so it doesn't exist as part of the main canon</code>, those are [https://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/06/11/eiji-aonuma-addresses-hyrule-warriors-place-in-the-zelda-timeline.aspx Eiji Aonuma]'s words, which are basically the Words of God as far as the Zelda series / Hyrule Warriors games are concerned. |
| | :*'''Hyrule Warriors plays within the Zelda world.''' Encyclopedia itself states that Hyrule Warriors takes place within <code>the worlds of Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword</code>. Although it is another dimension, it is still the world of Zelda. |
| | :*'''Hyrule Warriors is a Zelda release.''' You seem to imply that games like Smash and Soulcalibur are comparable to the Hyrule Warriors games; they're not. While Smash and the likes borrow some Zelda elements, such as Characters and Items, Hyrule Warriors doesn't. Everything you see in Hyrule Warriors '''is''' Zelda. It's not Zelda content in another game. The game '''is''' Zelda. |
| | :I hope I was able to make clear of the situation. I will now be reverting your edit. I am not telling you I am 100% right. There is still room for debate, but no matter if you're right or not. A change such as this is not something we are going to change overnight without discussing it thoroughly. So please refrain from reverting my edit again, your contributions are very appreciated, but things needs to be discussed first. Don't hesitate to reply with any arguments or questions, but whatever you do, do not revert my edit until a consensus is met.

| | ::Does my more recent edit make the ambigity a little less so? Just to say, I made that edit before I saw this. I appreciate that there is a level of confusion and ambiguity. However this is a certain level of cast-iron distinction, if you ask me. I think the main issue here is the problem in my edit, and that was my made. My edit put empathise on the distinction resting on whether the game is set in the canon world or not, whereas it is more so whether or not it is considered a "Zelda game" or not. The two sections of "spin-off" and "other games with Zelda guest stars" is more so definied around this. The former are Zelda games, the latter are other games which simply use Zelda elements. Even if they are using the canon world. You touch on this, but the issue with what you say here is that this is not something that's up for debate (at least not on an official level). The book DOES lump in Hyrule Warriors with Smash Bros and the like. I'm not saying that's how it ''should'' be, or that I consider it true, but it is what it is from Nintendo's point of view so it is official that Hyrule Warriors is NOT a Zelda game. It's true that the definitions in the Encyclopedia are a little wishy-washy. However, I think this is a definitive distinction given in the book, at the very least. --[[User:Catcure|Catcure]] ([[User talk:Catcure|talk]]) 05:32, 16 June 2019 (UTC) |

| :'''Aonuma''': ''Within the Zelda canon, there is the timeline, but there has always been the sense of the main story and kind of a side story. Like, Majora's Mask might be considered part of that, though it does exist as part of the timeline. With Hyrule Warriors, there is a link between the two, but it exists as a separate dimension, so it doesn't exist as part of the main canon. Lately I have been thinking of it similar to The Avengers. Each of the characters has their own timeline, so there shouldn't be any crossover there, but maybe they've been brought together as part of that story?''

What this interview implies is that ''Hyrule Warriors'' is more of a "what if" story similar to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, so it simply cannot be canon. It borrows elements from the timelines to create its own narrative, but it can't fit back into the timeline at all{{exp|or 'it could, but that's not what they want to do because it all wouldn't be correct'|*}}.

| ::Lets wait until the game it out. It's not long now. Once it's out we can decide if the "alternate dimension" thing actually COULD work (thus making it a side-story that is potentially canon but not part of the timeline) or if it's just a buncha "what-if", in which case it's non-canon. It seems silly to argue this right now because what Aonuma said can be taken both ways depending on which part of the interview you read. Plus it was translated and sometimes translations are questionable. I suspect it's not canon but it seems silly to speak in absolutes before the game is even finished. The fact that he speaks of the characters being "drawn together" and mentions The Avengers makes it potentially a little more than a random what-if. I don't want to really relegate this game to Soul Calibur status off the bat because it is a genuine Zelda game, even if it is a spin-off. You could, at this point, argue that all he meant it is that it is not canon to the timeline, like Link's Crossbow Training, but is still ambiguous as part of the series. Basically this game seems like a unique case at the moment. {{:User:Fizzle/sig}} 21:45, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

| :::Zelda Wiki considers a game to be "canon" if it fits into the main storyline as backed by Hyrule Historia. This game features characters from multiple points in Hyrule's very long history, including the moon from MM, Impa from the SS era, and imp form Midna. This would be completely impossible. In addition, the game is literally a Dynasty Warriors game skinned with LoZ characters and backdrops. As such, it only makes sense to consider this non-canon. There's really no room for debate, here. It's the same concept as when Zelda characters appeared in the SSB series.{{:User:Justin/sig}} 10:24, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

I'm not even sure if there is an equivalent to the word "canon" in Japanese. It's not a big deal, it's just that it's diluted by two sources (the translator and the interviewer) rather than being a direct copy of what Aonuma said. It's just that interviews like this have been known to cause confusion in the past. Fairly sure the infamous "Miyamoto Timeline" spawned from an interview similar to this one. I'm not saying this happened this time or is likely to have done, but nuances can be lost. Not a big deal, just making a small point really. {{:User:Fizzle/sig}} 18:59, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

| ::::"The game is literally a Dynasty Warriors game skinned with LoZ characters and backdrops"... seems kind of irrelevant and needlessly dismissive. Aside from the gameplay style, it has no connection to the Dynasty Warriors series. As for the story, we know nothing about it in any detail yet. Could the "alternate dimension" thing actually be part of the story? Super Smash Bros. is a bad example because the characters in that are trophies in the SSB universe, while the characters in this might literally be the same characters but "drawn into" another dimension from points in a timeline. We don't know this for sure yet. I'm not saying it's likely to be canon, fairly sure it isn't, but I kind of figured the "ambiguously canon" thing was ideal for situations like this. What's the point of having that at all if something is either canon to the timeline or not canon to the timeline? We might as well just say everything not listed in Hyrule Historia is non-canon if we go down that route.
| |
| ::::Sorry, I don't want to cause a big argument about it. I'm just saying that right now we don't know the whole story and it wouldn't hurt to keep options a little open rather than simply assuming off the bat that it has NO relation to the canon whatsoever. It may not be part of the timeline but suggesting it's not even canon to the franchise is a bit much, no? It's clearly VERY respectful of the source material from what we've seen and has a LOT of Nintendo involvement in it.
| |
| ::::Perhaps there needs to be some nuance between whether something is part of the timeline and whether something is part of the series.

There are barely any spin-offs of the Zelda series, but it might be a good idea if we had a separate way of dealing with them. At the moment it's sort of being treated alongside Super Smash Bros. and Soul Calibur, which aren't Zelda games at all, and I think that's what bothers me.

| :The flaw in this logic is that the ambiguously canon titles don't interfere with/contradict the timeline, so they're ''{{exp|but not actually|plausibly}}'' canon. If they contradicted the timeline in any significant way, then I'd very readily call them non-canon. Whether it's listed in ''HH'' is irrelevant to that.
| |
| :*Just thinking out loud here, but I think the issue stems here from it being a spin-off.
| |
| :To the contrary, I think the issue is that the issue is moreso that it seems disrespectful to dismiss the game as non-canon. That's not remotely why I'm on the side for non-canonicity; I'm excited for its release and I think it'll be a great game, but as said before, it can't fit into the timeline. The way it's described, the elements ''cannot'' be taken out and then put back in, so it is strictly a what-if story in the same regard as ''Super Smash. Bros'' being a what-if story (and "figurines" have nothing to do with that, since ''Brawl'' doesn't take that approach).
| |
| :*Perhaps there needs to be some nuance between whether something is part of the timeline and whether something is part of the series. For instance, the cartoons are not really part of the Zelda series, but this is definitely a Zelda game.
| |
| :However, ''Hyrule Warriors'' '''isn't''' a part of the series in the way that you describe. There is no doubt that this is a ''Zelda'' game, but that in no way guarantees an inherent value of canonicity. Core members of Nintendo have had their hands in the creation of manga (the ''SS'' manga in particular, for instance), but that doesn't give those any more credit either.
| |
| :In any case, this is distracting from the main points. The facts are:
| |
| :#''Hyrule Warriors'' is not part of the main series.
| |
| :#''HW'' cannot fit into the timeline, as described in the interview.
| |
| :#Zelda Wiki does not recognize games that fail to reasonably fit into the timeline as canon or ambiguously canon.
| |
| :You are correct in that there are few spin-off titles, but I see no flaw in our means of evaluating a given game's relation to the timeline. I think giving spin-offs special treatment simply because they're spin-offs would be a messy ordeal. {{:User:Tony/sig}} 22:11, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::Honestly, I largely agree with you, but I still think Aonuma was being quite careful with his use of "alternate dimension" and stuff. Perhaps it does not negatively affect the timeline whatsoever? That has yet to be seen. We don't know how characters like Midna are brought into the world or what state they are in at the end of the game. It's possible that the game does work to essentially make sure that the characters that are "drawn into" the world are brought in via a potentially canon method, even if the remainder of the game (the world depicted with Zelda, Link and Impa) is not actually canon to the rest of the timeline. Or, maybe it's just straight up not canon and the whole world in the game is a facsimile of the entire Zelda universe. I agree the latter is more likely, but it's possible that the former might still be the case. It could be that the timeline gets messed up during the game, drawing characters from different periods via magic, then the game also hits a gigantic "reset button" at the end so that everything just reverts back to normal. I'm highly expecting this to be the case, actually. In this case, would that make it potentially canon in that it may of happened but doesn't matter if it hadn't?
| |
| ::Also, I do want to just add that what bothers me right now is that it's treatment in infoboxes means it gets listed alongside "other games" like SSB, Soul Calibur, etc., when it should probably at least have billing alongside the other Zelda titles. What's the stance on that? {{:User:Fizzle/sig}} 17:36, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| Just a follow up again, but I find it a little perturbing that basically we have an official Zelda game with Nintendo and Aonuma's involvement, yet the "Queen Zelda" link redirects to a tiny portion at the bottom of a page that is primarily a dumping ground for CDi, Captain N and other western-only licensed appearances. Seems a bit off to me. I'm not asking for this game to necessarily be recognized as canon, but right now it's relegated to a lesser status than Link's Crossbow Training. That can't be right, surely? Kinda feel like I'm arguing into the wind here, though... {{:User:Fizzle/sig}} 23:54, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :Zelda Wiki's role is not to subjectively glorify things. The related [[Link/Other Appearances|Link]] page receives the same treatment, which I feel is perfectly fair. The media should be listed by order of release for both of those pages, regardless of Nintendo and Aonuma's involvement (which, I must state again, warrants no special treatment as far as I'm concerned. It just makes a great aesthetic).
| |
| :Really, this "lesser status" just sounds like a false personification that you're imposing<sup>({{exp|for one, nobody is placing any value on LCT over HW beyond canonicity status which has been discussed above|note}})</sup>. It's a page listing information, cut and dried. Most of this conversation just seems to be you insulting the other works, since it largely feels like you deem them as abominations in relation to this game.
| |
| :Queen Zelda should be made into a disambiguation page, not a redirect, as there have been multiple Queen Zeldas in the series and I'm sure you're aware that the "tiny portion" is going to increase and flourish with time. However, I don't feel that we need to give this special treatment. Though it seems "off" to you, it really doesn't seem like everybody shares that sentiment.
| |
| :Also, to address your previous post, what you're arguing might as well be called "Schrödinger's plot-device," but the fault in that is that (as implied) just about any plot could happen so it's mere speculation. From the information we have, we can conclude that it is not designed to be canon. If that for some reason changes in the future, then it's very simple to rectify the information. However, as we are with the information that we have ''right now'' (disregarding speculation), things point to it being non-canon. {{:User:Tony/sig}} 14:47, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

| | |
| ::That's more than a little harsh Pakkun, I don't think I was out to "insult" other works (unless it's the CD-i games, I think you can cut me some slack there). I have Link's Crossbow Training and love it, actually. Got top scores and everything, and I'd sing the praises of the BS Zelda games til the moon falls down. That's not the point I'm making. The point I'm making is that non-canon information is now being removed from main pages entirely, even if it's something as significant as this game or Super Smash Bros.. I wouldn't bat an eyelid if it was the CD-i games.
| |
| ::I'm not sure why Nintendo and Aonuma's involvement is NOT a factor. How can it not be? There's a difference between a Zelda game published and co-developed by Nintendo and a knock-off low budget atrocity developed by Phillips to cash in on a license they obtained that is not even recognized by Nintendo as existing. I'm not trying to be confrontational, but if you can't see the difference then I really AM arguing into the wind here. Please try to understand my position before writing me off.
| |
| ::My position has actually changed a little, I do accept this is PROBABLY not canon, but perhaps my issue can be better described as not being happy with how non-canon information is displayed. I think Nintendo-produced and co-developed works should take precedence over other licensed material. Obviously I should probably take that to the Discussion Center instead rather than arguing that here.
| |
| ::Small note, but apparently there really is a "Schrödinger's plot-device" called the Gate of Souls. How it works is anyone's guess at the moment though. {{:User:Fizzle/sig}} 20:05, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :::My apologies if I seemed harsh. However, I disagree that non-canon information is being removed from main pages. It's only in the case of significantly major characters in situations where it would greatly behoove us to shorten excessively long pages. In any other case, the information is presented on the main pages.
| |
| :::I am trying to understand where you're coming from, ''but'' I don't feel like it should be considered a factor. I'm sure if we looked hard enough, we could find Nintendo staff involvement of varying levels in various related media. Even the ''Skyward Sword'' manga had correspondence from Aonuma, but that doesn't really merit anything since it's still {{exp|dangerously flirting with non-canon|ambiguously canon}} and listed alongside other, non-main series media.
| |
| :::I welcome you to take it to the Discussion Center as you've said, though. I don't feel like it's necessary, but maybe a discussion with the newer focus would get us somewhere. {{:User:Tony/sig}} 23:22, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps even their unlock condition once all of that becomes known. I just joined this wiki to help out with this game's info, but I'm not too familiar with how a lot of basic information is spread across multiple pages rather than the main page (such as items and stages).

I'd think it'd be more suited on its own page, especially when more DLC packs come out and more costumes are released. -[[User:The Goron Moron|The Goron Moron]] ([[User talk:The Goron Moron|talk]]) 03:57, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

| :::: I honestly don't think that it's going to be that difficult to keep up with everything. I know this isn't a universal opinion, and I'm not arguing that I'm necessarily ''right'', but I think as an encyclopedia we should have the most complete information possible. That aside, the Master Quest costumes reference things from the main series games. Maybe a better compromise would be having each character's costumes on their own individual pages under the Hyrule Warriors section. It doesn't even have to include a detailed description or picture, unless someone elects to add it to that character's gallery (assuming they have one). Maybe a vote on the matter would be best. --[[User:KingStarscream|KingStarscream]] ([[User talk:KingStarscream|talk]]) 02:16, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

| :I also find this interesting, since weapons such as Sheik's Harp also produce different elemental effects. Also, each weapon triggers its elemental effect in different ways, depending on the combos used. For instance, not all of Ruto's attacks cause the "water" status effect, but continuous use of Link's Knight's Sword will cause the "light"-based damage bonus.

| == Third Tier Amiibo ==
| |
| | |
| I know for a fact that, when you scan an amiibo of a Zelda character, you get a third tier weapon for that character on the sole proviso that you have a third tier class available. However, I have noticed something: it is perfectly possible to not have a third tier class unlocked. If anyone has a Sheik amiibo (or a Ganondorf amiibo, if one is available in time), do you know what would happen in the amiibo was scanned without the Triforce Harp or Swords of Demise unlocked respectively? It might be possible to do something similar for Zelda, since it is possible for a player to not have the Gleaming Rapier, Glorious Baton or Royal Dominion Rod, but getting the Twilight Princess DLC negates this chance. {{nosig|Phineas81707|02:54, February 2, 2015}}

| == Specification of amiibo mechanics ==
| |
| | |
| So, the article mentions that you can only scan an amiibo once per day, and can only obtain amiibo rewards once per day. There's a few things I'd like to clarify:
| |
| *Are the limitations of "once per day" on the individual figure, or the type of figure? So if I have two copies of the Pikachu amiibo, can I scan both in the same day?
| |
| **If the restriction is on the type of figure: Can I scan two amiibo of the same character, but from different series or of different editions? For example, can I scan SSB Mario and SBM Mario in the same day? Also, can I scan regular SBM Mario and Gold Mario in the same day?
| |
| ***If the restriction is on the character: Can I scan two figures that are treated as variants on the same day? Specifically, this would be Link/Toon Link, Zelda/Sheik, Mario/Dr. Mario, Yoshi/Yarn Yoshi, Samus/Zero Suit Samus (it would be worthwhile checking non-''Zelda'' characters separately, even if it's not an issue for ''Zelda'' characters).
| |
| *<s>If you scan Link and get the Spinner, can you scan a Toon Link for a generic present in the same day (and vice versa)?</s>

Likewise, if anything new is said in regards to Tri Force Heroes, the wiki will change to reflect that. {{:User:The Goron Moron/sig}} 04:20, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::I hate to necropost, I really do; but to be completely honest- Aonuma's claim of it being in an alternate universe makes absolutely no sense, given how alternate universes are set up in the Zelda series. You have two kinds: Timeline Splits, and Pocket Worlds. Pocket Worlds include locations like The Dark World, Lorule and Termina. You cannot have a "real" Hyrule and a "Pocket" Hyrule at the same time. Plus, in-game evidence heavily suggests a placement after TP and FSA. First of all, you have Faron Woods- looking near identical to how it was in TP/TPHD. Secondly, you have the Deku Tree. The Deku Tree after Ocarina of Time- and here it is again- dead, but now it's hollowed out. Then you have further in-game implications. Lana's commentary in the Era of Twilight- "So this is what Hyrule was like when the Twilight invaded." Midna is also stated to have been turned BACK into an Imp by Cia. Then you have the temple of the Sacred Sword- which to me looks very much like the part of the Sacred Forest Meadow in TP- only with a rebuilt temple-like structure around it.

| ::The confusing part of Hyrule Warriors for what seems to be a majority of player imo is the bringing in of different eras. It's not that hard to figure out imo. It's literally just time-shifting from Skyward Sword on a massive scale. The Valley of the Seer seems to be near Lanayru Dessert- which has an abundance of Timeshift Stones. Lana is also able to conjure up a Gate of Time. As for the eras themselves, I'm certain I know exactly what points in time were brought in. For Skyward it's obviously prior to the Goddess Sword being removed. For TP it's some time post-game since Midna was turned back into an imp. For OoT it's early into the adult timeline as neither Darunia nor Ruto have gone to their respective temples. For the Legends epilogue it's after Tetra and Toon Link meet the King of Hyrule- though since Tetra was turned into Zelda I'm going to hazard a guess that they were interrupted when the Great Sea was brought into Hyrule. As for Impa's behaviour towards Sheik? Well, I'm certain that the Guardian of Time had connections to the Royal Family and relayed information about the different eras to them. Zelda clearly withheld any information about Sheik from Impa, and since Sheik didn't actually appear in TP as planned, that version of the character's non-canon and therefore not in any history books of Hyrule, so of course Impa would not know who Sheik was as that character only existed in the Era of the Hero of Time prior to this game.
| |
| | |
| ::TL;DR version: Aonuma's spewing nonsense again and contradicting pre-established lore on alternate worlds in the series; Koei Tecmo did their homework and wrote a decent story that heavily implies itself to be canon and fits into the timeline sometime after TP.{{nosig|OkamiTakahashi|12:50, February 17, 2016}}

| :::Here's the deal: Hyrule Warriors is effected by canon, but canon is not effected by Hyrule Warriors. It exists in its own "universe" in the same way that the CDI games do. There will be no references in Zelda Wii U to a time when Hyrule went to war against the time witch, nor any other Zelda game. It's a spin-off, end of story.
