Legend of Zelda thread

It is all well and good man, but it does not make the Zelda series some kind of epic genius treasure mound of story. It is very straight forward and simple, and that is one of its charms. To say it is devoided of story is dumb, but to say it has a rich story is equally dumb. The backstory tells us what, why and how in a mood creating fashion, but there are almost zero character development or ways to get deeper into what drives them.

I never said that either. I'm just stating that most of the games do have a story and some of the games piece together different parts of the timeline of the Legend of Zelda franchise.

With Sarah saying each one is its separate entity, telling on side of the tale... that's a stupid argument. You can't have a game like Wind Waker explaining things that happened in Ocarina of Time if they're two different sides of the same coin, because that information wouldn't be available to that universe. A lot of the games are obvious sequels and prequels to eachother.
