About Four Swords Full Triforce

[Ionliosite]

Something I found odd about our Legend of Zelda profiles is incosistency on how we deal with the Full Triforce of Four Swords Link. On his own profile, this is listed as a key, however, in huge contrast, Vaati's profile says the following: "Note: The four Links only possessed the full Triforce in the Anniversary addition of Four Swords, which is a remake of the original GBA title. This makes the canonicity and consistency of his stats highly inaccurate, as such the anniversary edition is not accounted for."

So we should decide one way to deal with this, because right now, we're having a weird mid-point where we're taking the remake as canon for one character but not for the other. Either we take the remake as the canonical version and upgrade Vaati, or take the original as the canonical version and remove that key from Link's profile.

I mean when have we ever taken the original over the remake?

Since Vaati's page, as claimed on the part I quoted.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

No I mean in general lol.

 

[Ionliosite]

I mean, I want to hear your argument for not doing it.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

I don’t have an argument for not accepting a remake over the original lol.

Per the Canon page, that's the default thing.

We usually take the remake over the original unless for example FFVII where both games are canon, just the remake took place in another timeline.

We should remove it from the Four Swords Link page. Canonically the Link in Four Swords isn't meant to have the Triforce since before the events of any Zelda game that isn't Skyward Sword, the Triforce was sealed within the Sacred Realm with the only way to get at it being getting the 3 spiritual stones and pulling out the Master Sword after the Door of Time opens (Something that does not happen until Ocarina of Time), so being able to get it in the remake of Four Swords just comes off as more of a bonus. Even then, I've tried looking for anything about the Triforce being in the remake and I can't even find anything that shows or states that Link even possesses it at any point in the game.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I agree with Dust Collector then; I suppose the bonus is non-canon since it would contradict the timeline.

Snip

Oh, interesting to know. If this is true, then removing it from Link's page does make more sense.

 

[TriforcePower1]

Yeah, I remember searching where that claim about Link having the Triforce comes from, but I found pretty much nothing.

 

[Ionliosite]

So I guess it's fine to remove it from Link's profile.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Yea

 

[Ionliosite]

Ok, the key has been downgraded and I changed the note to saying Link never had the Triforce in there. I guess this can be closed.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I will do so.
