 But that Adult Arc made me remember why I thought it was kinda mediocre. I think that if the manga were longer (maybe 1.5 or 2x longer), it would have been vastly improved. Though that probably wasn't possible. But that Adult Arc made me remember why I thought it was kinda mediocre.

 +=== Majora's Mask ===
 +The manga this time is about the same quality as //Ocarina of Time//. Though I //believe// that it's shorter than the last one – which is relevant because the story does feel overly condensed as compared to //Ocarina of Time//.
 +
 +I don't have much to say beyond that, honestly. I might later if I remember anything.
 +
 +Oh, right. There was a bonus story which offers a very mythical origin for Majora's Mask. I believe it was created //before// the game came out which is probably why it's so light on details. I think it's interesting, but I wasn't particularly impressed.
 +=== A Link to the Past ===
 +I finished it and, honestly, I think this is the worst one so far. Actually, //Majora's Mask// (or perhaps //Ocarina of Time//) started a trend that will plague all the manga: they're too short.
 +
 +Generally, all of the manga would be improved by having more time in-between events. But since they're so short, they have to condense the story //a lot//. It just so happens that the manga this time around is //very obviously// condensed.
 +
 +There's plenty of stuff in here that //is// interesting, but the short length means that we never really explore it (like the main villain having a connection to Link and Link's parents being involved).
 +
 +Also, unlike with the Hero of Time, the Link this time around doesn't have an obvious romantic connection with Zelda. They //do// like each-other, but I get the impression Link doesn't really see the situation in that way. Which is fitting because bandit waifu.

 This is the first //Zelda// game I played and was my introduction to it in general. As a kid I...didn't finish it and, to this day, it remains unfinished. Some action bits were too difficult for me. This is the first //Zelda// game I played and was my introduction to it in general. As a kid I...didn't finish it and, to this day, it remains unfinished.

 Honestly, I don't mind this approach: I just wish that people didn't try to cram it all into one timeline. Or Nintendo attempting the same thing. Honestly, I don't mind this approach: I just wish that people didn't try to cram it all into one timeline. Or Nintendo attempting the same thing.
 +==== How many Links are related to each-other? ====
 +I'm making this section just to quickly jot down a thought I had: how many of the Links in Zelda are relatives?
  
 +So far, I think that the only definitive connection is between the <abbr>Hero of Time [Ocarina of Time]</abbr> and the <abbr>Hero of Twilight [Twilight Princess]</abbr>...the latter being descended from the former.\\
 +The Hero of Twilight may also be related to Zelda from Twilight Princess. Though this is speculative and you should read [[#whodidtheherooftimehavekidswith|the section below]].
 +
 +I think that, maybe, the <abbr>Hero of Hyrule [A Link to the Past]</abbr> is related to the Link from the first game, though that's a guess on my part.
 +
 +Oh, right: the Link from Spirit Tracks is definitely related to the <abbr>Hero of Winds [Wind Waker]</abbr> //and// Tetra. Which, yes, means that that Link is also related to Zelda.
 ==== Hylian Language Project ==== ==== Hylian Language Project ====
 There was a fan-made Hylian language at some point, which I learned of from [[https://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Community:Hylian_Language_Project|here]]. I'm mentioning it just because, though I wouldn't call it especially notable. There was a fan-made Hylian language at some point, which I learned of from [[https://zelda.fandom.com/wiki/Community:Hylian_Language_Project|here]].

 Along that line of thinking...what if somebody dons the hero's green clothes because they //want// to be a hero or wish to be //perceived// as a hero...but then end up bad? This is just a natural twist you could apply to the story, though I doubt Nintendo would ever. Along that line of thinking...what if somebody dons the hero's green clothes because they //want// to be a hero or wish to be //perceived// as a hero...but then end up bad?

 +==== Is the Triforce hereditary? ====
 +An issue I may have identified has to do with the Triforce. There is //some// evidence to suggest that //some// characters end up gaining the Triforce due to being related to someone who previously earned it.\\
 +I think that this applies to the Hero of Twilight (who inherits it from the Hero of Time, his ancestor) and Tetra (who inherits it from Ocarina!Zelda).
 +
 +This raises not-great questions surrounding the Triforce. I may elaborate later.
