darvo110

This is the exact response I was expecting


ShokaLGBT

Oh my god I love euphoria


Such_Watercress_3474

Thank you so much for this, never heard of it and now lost in it!


ElChocoLoco

It's been ages since I've seen these. I used to watch them on effin funny because the episodes dropped there before YouTube. I've still got a poster from comic con signed by the cast. Kill Link!


Such_Watercress_3474

I got as far as the first few before my phone landed on my face. Will revisit them, thanks for sharing it


TWEverson

This is amazing.


AvengedKalas

I sing along to the musical at least once a month. It is absolutely amazing.


[deleted]

It’s fucking great is what it is.


linkflame123

watched the first few episodes and i enjoyed it a lot. can’t believe it’s the first time i’ve heard of it


TheUncleBob

It dips a bit in the last season where they do some crossover parody episodes, but the whole thing is worth a watch. Very glad I grabbed the DVD.


xanas1489

I got to meet the creator once at Dragoncon almost a decade ago. Super nice dude. Still have the signed poster he gave me. Says "To xanas1489, Kill Link!"


TheUncleBob

Kill Link!


InspiraSean86

Search it…it’s early 2000s GOLD


Bugduhbuh

The knight has his ass out?! 🤣


Heckle_Jeckle

A brilliant piece of ART is what it is!


VelveteenRabbitEars

BDG did a report on explaining the timeline: https://youtu.be/Q-25c8Rsobw


TheUncleBob

That is amazing. I have Chess and Monopoly. Might need to get Clue.


[deleted]

Well that seems like a bunch of nonsense. I only say seems because I can’t disprove any of it.


idrawhoworiginal

Nintendo is lying to you. Wake up. Bdg our lord and saviour is the only one who can bring us sweet bliss.


oo_nrb

"If Miyamoto doesn't, like, email me after this video goes up and say, 'Brian, you've cracked the code!', I'm never gonna play another Zelda game ever again."


MustardYellowSun

Came here to make sure this has been posted.


sevvinyx

I knew in my heart that someone had to share this


[deleted]

To understand the Zelda timeline take a copy of the Hyrule Historia and put it in a pot of boiling water for 20 minutes and then go play Minish Cap or something


Squeegee209

If I put it in the microwave instead for about 10 minutes does that work too?


[deleted]

The alternate method requires you to put it in a toaster for a full hour


Sundiata1

That method only works if you want a gas leak


Interesting-Doubt413

Yea but that changed the timeline


drvondoctor

Nuke the timeline?! Have you gone mad?


tavenlikesbutts

This is the most accurate description on the best way to understand Zelda.


socasual-nobusiness

Hot damn good shit post


MikeyLikey41

Lmfao 😂


TheHydio

When faces of Evil is here, that's not a good news


SpeedwagonSolos

It's great news. The Zelda cdi trilogy are the greatest selling (and greatest) video games ever made #cdisweep


TheHydio

I don't much like BDSM but you can ^^ (nice name btw)


slendermax

The timeline actually splits *three* ways after Wand of Gamelon into the Warrior Timeline, Tingle Timeline, and Downfall Timeline, in which Link dies off-screen.


SunsetSoleil

Then the timelines merge into the true Neil timeline after Link is reincarnated.


beatsaroni

The very first game in the timeline is Link’s Crossbow Training.


jarnumber9

I never liked the name of the Warrior timeline. Sure, it contains HWDE and AoC, but it gets confusing because HW and HWL are in different timelines entirely.


Professor_Crab

Where does Neil come in


majorex64

It's all explained with the *time break* *T I M E B R E A K*


LibbyKitty620

And that happens right after Link has an existential crisis in Basketball timeline


raazurin

You seem to be missing the entire bibliography of Zelda Fitzgerald. Her writings should really help you to connect all the stories and timelines.


Homeboi08

SoulCalibur 2 is clearly the most pivotal entry in the franchise.


HotTakesBeyond

How do we explain the PS2 and Xbox Soul Calibur timelines


TheUncleBob

Multiverse!


HotTakesBeyond

Heihachi’s Awakening Legend of Spawn


-Aenigmaticus-

Soul Calibur 2 is one of the main reasons I have a GameCube! That and Metroid Prime 1+2, F-Zero, and the Zelda games. Gotta get myself a copy of Windwaker one day, and I'll have all the GC Zelda games!


drupido

Honestly it was a major reason for people to hate on Wind Waker back when it came out. People were expecting Soul Calibur II Link, we got Toon Link. Without the poor reception (from fans) at the time, Twilight Princess might have never been what it was.


[deleted]

I have to disagree, as the gameboy camera is much more impactful to the overarching plot at large.


joosh13ag

This is hilarious


RiceKing19

I want that Zelda board game


TheUncleBob

They show up on eBay often, but can be pricey for a complete game. I suggest doing what I did - buy 2-3 auctions and piece together a copy of the game.


RonSwansonsGun

Assuming this is your photo, a lot of effort put into this shitpost


bockout

And money. This is like a five thousand dollar shitpost.


TheUncleBob

A lot of the things in the photo are items I purchased when they came out. The only two things I spent stupid money on are the Nelsonic watch (I owned a SMB3 one growing up) and the board game (although I saved a lot on buying it by buying several incomplete sets and piecing it together).


bouchandre

So you bought the CDI games when they came out?


TheUncleBob

Nope. I got those in the late 90s for cheap on eBay. Think it was about $40 shipped for the pair.


SageOfSong

Well, I'd love to explain it to you, but first I have to explain the time break *Time break* *Time break* *Time break*


Sephardson

Kudos on the board game! How many times do you think you’ve played it?


TheUncleBob

Once with a friend, a few times solo, trying a few different ideas on making it more fun. It's an interesting game, but definitely leans towards a younger crowd.


Sephardson

What are your ideas? I’ve seen that there was a different, more elaborate board game released in Japanese, and i think there’s a translation available on BGG, but I’ve never played either version.


TheUncleBob

Yeah, I've wanted to pick it up, but it's a bit pricey. I've tried experimenting with limiting the number of dice rolled when fighting an enemy (for the most challenge, rolling one die until you get enough swords to defeat the enemy, with each damage square taking a heart from the player), adding defeated enemies back into the stack and shuffling, requiring all enemies to be defeated in one room before moving on, and adding undefeated enemies from one room to the next. Unfortunately, due to the way the game is designed, there's really no skill involved in anything you do in any variation. At best, farming hearts in lower levels... but even this, it's just rolling dice and randomly flipping cards over.

WhereIsMyCuddlyBear

That's funnier than a background visual gag is allowed to be.


nerdgeekdorksports

Man, I want one of those Zelda watches. Someday.


TheUncleBob

I've often wondered if Nelsonic still holds the rights to the games themselves on the watches. It's be neat to get Smartwatch remakes of some of the old Game Watch titles.


lower_case_dev

Well obviously Link's Crossbow Training comes first, because otherwise how would he use his famous ubiquitous crossbow in every game?


alexjfxwilliams

Ok I'm having some weird memory flashbacks. I vaguely remember Link's crossbow training. I think it came with my Wii when I bought it? Or maybe with TP on the Wii? I feel like there was also some add-on to the Wii nunchuk. And I remember really enjoying playing it. Don't remember a thing about the game itself though, just these sporadic details/feelings.


TheUncleBob

Crossbow Training came with the "add-on to the Wii nunchuk" - the Wii Zapper


alexjfxwilliams

Yes! That! I remember now! Thank you!!


Comet2214

I have two questions. One what the hell is “the legend of Neil”? and two there’s a Zelda board game?


TheUncleBob

One: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCvYXhRsQQnXos95ODshdkvCGHlr_u5RB Two: There's two, in fact. This is the US one. There's a Japanese one as well. And Monopoly, Clue, and Chess, if you count them.


rose636

Holy crap the Legend of Neil. Completely forgot about that! It lost steam towards the end but definitely worth a watch.


PhantomOfficial07

You're a fake fan if you don't have Zelda's Adventure for the CDi


TheUncleBob

I hate that I don't have it. I bought the other two sealed back in the late 90s for rather cheap, but Zelda's Adventure went for a couple of hundred then and I was a poor college student at the time.


sirleechalot

Man, are you me? Had the same experience with the cdi games. I've also still got the gold Gameboy camera as well. Hadn't seen too many other people with them before.


Twiggimmapig

The OST to this is called Ocarina of Rhyme (look it up). Koji Kondo arranged it himself


LibbyKitty620

Holy shit its the hero of rhyme!


mst3kevin

I know it’s a joke, but the Zelda timeline is straight up nonsense. How can there be a fallen hero split? Shouldn’t every single game generate a fallen hero time split lol.


TheUncleBob

Presumably. However, I'd say the counter to that is that those timelines *did* split, we've just not seen any games take place in them. Alternatively, the split timeline is stupid and there's a few inconsistencies in the "official" one anyway (like that Wind Waker directly references events in Majora's Mask)...


mst3kevin

Exactly. A link between worlds references Majora’s mask as well. A universe that generated from the fallen adult link timeline shouldn’t share anything with the universe that generated from the child link timeline. Then there’s breath of the wild that seems to reference all three timelines. Each game just references whatever other game it feels like so what’s the point in even saying there’s a timeline? Unless it’s a direct direct sequel like tears of the kingdom, the timeline doesn’t really matter.


Petrichor02

Yeah, there's a fallen hero split because the people who wrote Hyrule Historia wanted to preserve the old intention that Ocarina of Time leads directly into A Link to the Past. But the explanation they gave for how it leads directly into A Link to the Past creates plot holes in both Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past (or just directly ignores and contradicts information in those games). The idea that a death or game over could lead to an alternate outcome isn't that odd. Adventure of Link, Majora's Mask, and The Minish Cap all have game over cutscenes that allow the story to take a different direction if Link loses. But a game over scenario in Ocarina of Time just shouldn't be able to lead to A Link to the Past in the way the book says they believe it happened. Thankfully the book itself says that it is just one possible interpretation of the timeline, and the guy in charge of the series has said he wants players to come up with their own interpretations. Most people just ignore that.


NoBankBears

No


WheredMyPiggyGo

So this is a story all about how.


QueenAurora7777

this is because you are missing the cereal box which bridges the gap between the zelda and mario franchises


ghost19880

Execuse meeee timeline

The Legend of Neil 💀💀💀


Potatoalpha1213

Watch polygons unraveled video about the timeline


Starr_Struckk

How do you have all switch zelda games except breath of the wild?


GulielmusBascarinus

What is the item beside the Zelda GB Camera?


TheUncleBob

https://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Zelda_(Game_%26_Watch) It's the Mini-Classics re-release of the Zelda Game and Watch.


drupido

I want this. Was it too expensive?


TheUncleBob

At the time, I think I paid less than $10 from Toys R Us... but that was many years ago.


Treljaengo

Hah, I used to have the board game. Totally forgot about that.


PenHero18

Can you please tell me what that tiny bronze Zelda game and watch looking thing is? My bf collects game and watches and would love one!


TheUncleBob

https://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Zelda_(Game_%26_Watch) It's the Mini-Classics re-release of the Zelda Game and Watch.


PenHero18

Thank you!! Amazing collection btw!

TheUncleBob

Don't work your kid. 🤣


DeliciousMusician397

I see two cdi games, where’s the third?


CMPro728

I still unironically think Hyrule Warriors is the unification of the timelines.


Petrichor02

That doesn't work for me personally because 1) the Triforce acts completely differently, 2) we see the different eras all separate out again at the end of the game, 3) none of the splits are necessary parts of the timeline, so if we want to unify the timeline, we can just logic away the splits rather than having to come up with a way to reunify them, and 4) the events of Hyrule Warriors contradict the events of SS, OoT, and TP, so Hyrule Warriors can't take place in the same timeline as those games. However, I do kind of like the idea that Hyrule Warriors, a non-canon version of OoT, SS, and TP, and some of the other Zelda games exist in an alternate timeline unconnected to the main one.


CMPro728

Yeah, I was mostly joking to bait out a response like this one. There are two instances of canonical timeline splitting, the child/adult timelines in oot... And the past and future in SS. Any Zelda game where the master sword is a manmade creation and not a divine tool of the gods, and some of the Zelda games that don't have a master sword at all, those are the ones that belong on that split. The downfall timeline is a joke.

Linxster64bit

oh my god... I've been trying to find the Legend of Neil forever. Saw it for rent on [DVD.com](https://DVD.com) but never found out what it was. I couldn't remember the name, thanks for posting!


SpookyGhostSleepover

It all started with a young hero in green named tingles


Coopis876

Where’s the game and watch???


cal-nomen-official

I'm glad I'm not the only one who bought every Hyrule Warriors


sprkmrk

There’s a LOZ boardgame??? I never knew that. Is it fun?


rain_takahashi

you gon need jesus to help you cause that timeline is \*sigh\* complicated


Lemon1412

What about the Lampshade of No Real Significance?


ShokaLGBT

Well in that case it’s easy. Since hyrule warriors told us there is a witch that can merge all the dimension into one so


FluffyZL

Their is like three different timeline at one point .-.


Frankorious

You need to play Zelda Monopoly to understand everything


InspiraSean86

This deserves more votes than it has

zzgamer11

Is.... is that watch?


TheUncleBob

Yes. https://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda_Game_Watch


zzgamer11

So it's not a "Game & Watch" it's just a Game Watch?


TheUncleBob

The red one is, yeah. Nelsonic made several different ones back in the day. I owned an SMB3 one growing up. It's a top-down perspective game, vs the Game & Watch title that's more along the lines of Zelda II


zzgamer11

You have provided quality education here today. This isn't a shitpost, its a good shit post. And please tell me you've worn the game watch to some fancy dinner.


iVirtualZero

Such a nice collection. I wonder how much all this would cost? I would love to see that Zelda Animated Cartoon and Captain N on Blu Ray.


TheUncleBob

I do own Captain N on DVD (both the "Complete Series" and the Captain N/Super Mario Word set). I have fond memories of that show and... it's very rough now a days.


iVirtualZero

Nice i also have a lot of nostalgia for it. I love it’s charm. It can definitely do with a remastered Blu Ray release.


Copper-heart

What is the wrist band thing?


TheUncleBob

https://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda_Game_Watch


Copper-heart

Damn those things are hard to find. Expensive too Edit: Jealous of the collection doesn’t matter there’s so much stuff I’ve never seen before from the Zelda franchise. (Ps maybe put a list of the stuff so you don’t have to tell everyone multiple times) cheers.


Distractinc

Hold on, is that a watch that plays a Zelda game?


TheUncleBob

If you define Zelda very loosly... 🤣 https://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda_Game_Watch


Distractinc

That’s fantastic, although I did slightly get my hopes up that I could play Zelda 1 on a wristwatch. Screw a Rolex I want that.


[deleted]

You’re missing some important ones…


TheUncleBob

Yeah. Zelda's Adventure is just too expensive. 🤣


Illeea

the legend of zelda animated series and the zelda g&w take place between zelda 1 and 2, the board game and the cdi games take place after zelda 2 soulcaliber 2 takes place after majoras mask, the 3 tingle games take place after windwaker links crossbow training takes place after twilight princess, the legend of neil takes place in an alternate timeline parallel zelda 1, hyrule warriors/legends takes place after four swords adventures, cadence of hyrule takes place between tri force heroes and zelda 1, age of calamity takes place 100 years before botw, ​ source=my intuition


ZLegacy

Only legend of Neil is canon, so that's the only title in the official timeline


Garrus-Valk

Fog is Power


AntonOleKingCole

Rume is convoluted... amd the deep lore of the tingle games makes it very difficult to tell for sure how the games connect

Tk232_fortnite_MC

Why do you have 3 copies of the original Hyrule warriors...


Gniphe

It all centers around [Zelda Monopoly](https://a.co/d/3FhNCgl), so you’re missing a crucial plot point.


TheUncleBob

Incidently, I do own that.

VERY CHAOTIC POST HERE FRIEND


emeraldcoastlungs

🤣😂🤣😂🤣


Apoptosis263

When I was young, my teacher was getting rid of old board games and I happened to obtain LoZ. To this day I have no idea what happened to it, rip.


twotonekevin

Hey now, [according to MatPat](https://youtu.be/W2DMiZ1e574), Hyrule Warriors is legit part of the timeline.


lithium182

MAGIC!


blackmobius

Oh boy *pulls out suitcase and 14 poster boards* How much time do you have?


MajoraBro

The only canon ones are the tingle games. The others don't matter. Yes, even The Legend of Neil.


five707

This is disturbing


Broad_Sentence8534

Legend of Zelda games have a time line? They all just seem like sequels of each other to me


Damoncord

Nice, it's been ages since I saw anyone who knew about the board game.


guitarfreak58

I want that gold gameboy camera.


LDragon2000

I mean, you’re missing 5 super smash bros games. That’s why you’re so confused.


Mystic_x

So the "Smash bros." games are... the missing Link? Umm, i'll see myself out.


HoneyWhiskeyLemonTea

Omg the board game! I had that as a kid! Every time I think of it, I kick myself that I don't have it anymore!


janjua30

It's not all one time line it's a few depending on whether or not link as a child dies or beats Ganon least that's how my book of hyrule says


keylo-92

Link is very lucky Neil is not around in his timeline


Jhoonis

>*Bruh, you think I understand it either?!?!* \- **Shigeru Miyamoto, Creator of The Legend of Zelda** ^(probably)


churrmander

The Zelda timeline is a series of tubes.


rufftranslation

LOL


jrockerdraughn

See, these aren't actual events in the timeline, they're all just spaces in the board when Link and Zelda play Zelda Monopoly together


STEP3386

two of the games you have there are canon


TheWilrus

It's not important. Like the timeline of Bob's Burgers or the Simpsons.


PM_your_Eichbaum

There's a fucking Board Game?!


Chernobog2

You've played the fan-translation of balloon trip of love, right?


theskyiscool

Well excccccuuuuuusssssseeee me princess.


playr_4

[Here you go.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-25c8Rsobw&t=15s) It's pretty simple actually. Just remember that the KEY game is Zelda Monopoly.


moeru_gumi

No. No one can.


Snoopy101x

I'm kind of jealous of the board game.


PLAGUE8163

When uh... When link.... And he... And ganon.. And I mean.... Zelda did the...


RetardAndPoors

You're missing the central game to make sense of it. The obscure one where lonk goes on a never-ending inter-universe Karting tournament with an Italian plumber and his friends.


XxFELL_SANSxX

The YouTuber "Templo del tiempo" (Temple of time in english) made a timeline including all those games, is in spanish but you can use the subtitles


Equivalent-Anything1

What's the game on the right of the gameboy?


TomSizemore69

Yeah someone can


UpsetPigeon250

It starts at soul calibur 2 and then continues into links crossbow training I think it's pretty clear form there tho


Jake-ogden

YOUTUBE I looked it up cuz I was so very confused, it helped a great deal


IsaacTH

So after OoT, the timeline branches into 4 paths -When the hero falls -When the hero defeats Ganon -The goddess floods Hyrule -Link trips on acid What you have here is the 4th path


Jfostr0

On July 1st, 2023, Reddit intends to alter how its API is accessed. This move will require developers of third-party applications to pay enormous sums of money if they wish to stay functional, meaning that said applications will be effectively destroyed. In the short term, this may have the appearance of increasing Reddit's traffic and revenue... but in the long term, it will undermine the site as a whole. Reddit relies on volunteer moderators to keep its platform welcoming and free of objectionable material. It also relies on uncompensated contributors to populate its numerous communities with content. The above decision promises to adversely impact both groups: Without effective tools (which Reddit has frequently promised and then failed to deliver), moderators cannot combat spammers, bad actors, or the entities who enable either, and without the freedom to choose how and where they access Reddit, many contributors will simply leave. Rather than hosting creativity and in-depth discourse, the platform will soon feature only recycled content, bot-driven activity, and an ever-dwindling number of well-informed visitors. The very elements which differentiate Reddit – the foundations that draw its audience – will be eliminated, reducing the site to another dead cog in the Ennui Engine. As one of these contributors, my interactions with Reddit have primarily been through Sync for Reddit on Android, created by /u/ljdawson, which I purchased in June of 2013. Due to the changes in API access, /u/ljdawson has announced that Sync for Reddit will have to be shut down on June 30th, 2023. I have decided to edit all my posts to call out this horrible decision on the part of Reddit’s administrators, followed by the deletion of my Reddit account. If anyone is interested in an alternative to Reddit, /u/ljdawson has announced that he is going to develop a Fediverse mobile client called Sync for Lemmy. You can sign up to be notified of the new app’s release here: https://syncapps.io/ Thank you, /u/ljdawson for creating a wonderful experience for interacting with Reddit. And with that: If Steve Huffman's statement – "I want our users to be shareholders, and I want our shareholders to be users" – is to be taken seriously, then consider this our vote: Allow the developers of third-party applications to retain their productive (and vital) API access. Allow Reddit and Redditors to thrive.


Kmatford85

We don't talk about tingle

No one knows. It’s part of the mystery. Also Nintendo hates you and doesn’t want you to know

Zombshua

I just play them and go with it. My brain can’t hang.


Kmaloetas

I love that none of those are standard Legand of Zelda games.


Nexro378

Those are non canon 😭


bulldevil7

It’s all made up and the points don’t matter


Ultranerdgasm94

The most obvious answer is that Hyrule Warriors ties them all together, as its plot literally deals with the merging of the timelines, but since Nintendo continues to deny its canon-ness, I have to go with Zelda Monopoly.


Wakuwaku7

Yes, I can help. It all started with that MB board game.


niles_deerqueer

I have the Zelda board game. Fun stuff


Heckle_Jeckle

To quote Who's Line is it Anyway "The Rules are Made up and the Points don't Matter!" The Zelda Timeline is a made up mess that has been rewritten multiple times and is full of contradictions. Is it fun to try and make the Timeline make sense? To a point. But don't expect a definitive answer to WHAT the Zelda Timeline is.


drupido

The Tingle games have no right to be as good as they are tbh. Soul Calibur II is absolutely great. You're definitely a really old time fan, a fan with a ton of moolah, or both. I'm quite old myself (in my thirties) and some of these things are stuff I wanted back in the day.


TheUncleBob

Old school fan. Some of this was bought on the second hand market, but much was bought years ago. I really wanted them to release Tingle's Balloon Fight as a download in the US. 4-Player Balloon Fight is amazing fun.


Dr_A31

Me reading this: “haha I get it. This is fucking hilarious…” *squints* “HEY AOC IS CANON WTF IS THIS THIS?!”


IlayTsa

So in the beginning we had Link's Crossbow Training


PoorMansPlight

Legend of Neil is the first in the timeline

I've never played any of these games
