I'm guessing I could use the THQ coupon on the Saint's Row Season Pass. If you can confirm that, then I'll be fine with that.


Season pass shows up when I click the applicable games button, yes.

I like the theory that each time he travels back in time, he's in fact abandoning the current future and, upon returning to the future, travels to a new one in which whatever he did in the past has its effect. And then those abandoned futures are all so similar they just re-merge afterward or something to consistently lead to aLttP.
Yeah, that's exactly my theory too. This premise makes the most sense to me if we are to have 3 branches.


makes the most sense if OoT has to branch twice except it doesn't explain how ganondorf acquires the complete triforce or how the sages seal him when presumably the old sages still die and the new ones have no one to awaken them. and ganon in LTTP is sealed in the sacred realm implying that they simply seal him the moment he enters/gets the triforce because hey, he'd kill them easily in a straight up fight.


WARNING: SPECULATION INCOMING

When Link leaves the adult timeline for the events that lead to Majora's Mask, the Triforce of Courage splits into eight pieces and his eventual successor has to hunt for them across the ocean. Yet he still appears to have it in the cutscene at the end of the game, and if I remember correctly is still marked in Majora's Mask. Thus the complete Triforce appears to exist in each timeline, such that whenever Link moves to a new one, he's actually gifted with that timeline's version of ToC while the timeline he leaves behind now has pieces of the ToC scattered about. So... in the hypothetical merged-futures that Link abandons, the Triforce of Courage is hidden, in pieces, with no wielder around. Ganondorf searches and eventually finds these pieces, having all the time in the world since Link's not there to stop him.

Meanwhile, with Link gone, Zelda eventually searches for and awakes a set of Sages of her own to lead the fight against Ganondorf and take back her kingdom. During the attack, Ganondorf confronts Zelda, acquires her Triforce of Wisdom, and begins forcing his way into the Sacred Realm. Before he can do any more damage, the sages hit him with everything they have, sealing him inside.

No matter how insignificant the change, when you go back in time and do something, you're changing the past and altering the future (unless your series is playing by single-timeline-theory rules which Zelda clearly is not).

Ganon is revived
Goddesses are like "Crap, time to re-incarnate Link again"
Things get real bad real quick "There's no time! Turn to Plan B!"
Instead of Link, Goddesses build FIGHTING ROBOT MEGA MAN to fight Ganon.
Mega Man goes through the 8 dungeons and defeats Ganon, who then begs for mercy, which Mega Man grants, and then Ganon escapes as his fortress crumbles.
Goddesses say "...next time we'll get Kratos."


I support this theory.
