I'll try to get something up for you to respond to.

I'll try to at least get Skullkid in today. For those of you who don't know (Which could be all of you) I am the leader of a guild in Guild Wars 2 and I was left the decision to kick on of my friends and fellow leaders last night. The reason I have been inactive is not from a lack of interest, but merely an unhealthy amount of stress and copious amounts of time spent looking for the facts among my guildmates. Now that the decision has been made, I should have more free and should be able to post more frequently.

Or, rather - I'll post Skullkid later.

Hey anyone able to interact with Ravio?

Ganondorf and Skull Kid are free.

@Prince of Seraphs

I'll talk to them at some point.

@Prince of Seraphs Not sure if I can really do anything... I'm also trying to pick a second character.

Do you mean in RP? I guess Link, Zelda and Navi go take a look through the town till Ganondorf poisons the king and blots out the sun and blames it on Zelda. Then we have to run really fast.

@Prince of Seraphs Yeah, I was thinking they start to leave town but the bridge is closed so they end up enjoying themselves a while. Maybe Link and Ganondorf even meet and talk, both of them not knowing who the is. Navi could run into Ravio and maybe question that thing. I also might play Impa.

Poison the king? I was thinking of staging a coup right there and then. He has the triforce of power after all. Poisoning and the whole cloak and dagger planning would make more sense if he does not have it.

Oh I thought that's what we were talking about earlier.

In any case there might be a couple of problems with staging a coup right now. The two biggest problems would be that first Ganondorf has one soldier on his side and she's kinda ditzy. the Triforce of Power may give him strength but I don't believe even Ganondorf with the power of the gods could defeat the entire Hylian military by himself. Secondly At the very most Link and Zelda are in the same town likely no more than twenty minutes walk. If he makes a bid for the thrown they're going to take him down and our story kind of... well ends. He may have the Triforce of Power but that doesn't mean he's invincible and it doesn't mean that those wielding the other pieces of the Triforce can't beat him.

Besides Hyrule is a big kingdom and relatively the desert has a very small population. Even if this coup were successful and he declared himself ruler of Hyrule he wouldn't have enough people to keep the citizens in line and even with the Triforce he can't be there to put down ever squabble or rebellion. He wouldn't be able to hold the kingdom. It's a much smarter move for him to maneuver himself into power slowly. Whatever Ganondorf's flaws he's never been an idiot. He wouldn't start a war he wasn't confident in winning.

And now that I think about it when exactly did Ganondorf get the Triforce of Power? Hasn't he been hanging out in the desert for most of his life?

@Prince of Seraphs I went with the whole. 'Reincarnations so they each have their Tri-force.' I can also see where Green is going, think about it. On the day of festival honoring a Hero the sun was blocked out, Ganondorf tells them that the king cannot save them or perhaps tells them the king's line has magic to cause this or even stop it. The people of Castle town and all the others who are their rush to the castle the King not understand and his soldiers overwhelmed. He cannot end it, Ganondorf claims he can and that the King is lying. He promises to save them and thus Ganondorf is made king Hyrule and the thieves with no blood shed. Also with monsters appearing thanks to constant darkness the outlying towns would have to submit to him for aid or go it alone.

Oh okay, the way he said it made it sound a lot more violent and you know, war like. A coup is generally the change in leadership by a violent means so I sort of assumed that's what he was talking about. What you said makes a lot more sense.

With regards to the Triforce, I don't believe any of the reincarnation started off with the Trifroce. The hero in the original didn't have the Triforce of Courage at all, he went on a quest for it in Zelda II. Some of the Link's where born with it because the Ganondorf of that time already had the Triforce of Power and the Gods had to restore the balance, such as in Twilight Princess. In most of the games Link had to obtain it or already had it from a previous Zelda game.

We could have it so that when Link draws the Master Sword, whenever that is, he is transported to the Scared Realm where the full Triforce is waiting but much like when Ganondorf first tried to claim the Golden Power in OoT his heart is not completely balanced so he gains only the piece that he embodies and the other two are given to those in the world that best represent there attributes, namely Zelda and Ganondorf.

It just seems like if they all have the Triforce right now and are in such close proximity to each other the most obvious course of action for Ganondorf is to challenge the other two, take there Trifroce pieces and wish for ultimate power. Which I suppose isn't exactly a bad option for the story to go down but I feel it would make things a little unbalanced. I mean it's a little hard to claim that "No character is better than another" if one of the characters literally has supreme power over the world.

Looking for another opinion. I've always had a problem with the "official" timeline for Zelda that Nintendo released. Mainly the "downfall of the hero" branch of it. At the start of that branch the Hyrule Historia says:

Link is defeated by Ganondorf during the final battle of "Ocarina of Time". After this, Ganondorf obtains all three pieces of the Triforce. Led by Princess Zelda, the people of Hyrule manage to seal Ganon and the Triforce in the Sacred Realm.

Except I'm playing A Link to the Past and this minute I'm looking at one of the Seven Sages telling me:

If a person with an evil heart gets the Triforce, a Hero is destined to appear and he alone must face the person who unleashed the Great Cataclysm. If the evil one destroys the hero, nothing can save the world from his wicked reign.

Nothing in this case apparently meaning Princess Zelda and the People of Hyrule.

So I will sit back and wait or I will post soon later this week.

Sorry I've been away so much.

Don't worry about it too much. Life happens *smiles*

Hurray I am back, at least somewhat. I did a big old post of Link getting supplies and then going to look for Zelda and Ciela. Sorry I didn't post sooner.

Are we not staying in town for whatever it is that Ganondorf's planning?

Yes, were leaving town. Leaving Ganondorf to take the town and the castle.
