Although it’s unrelated to this article, the Triforce existing in both timelines makes it even harder for the Split Timeline to be justified by people who research the timeline and by Nintendo.

I had totally forgotten about the Hylian Soldier in the Back Alley. However, if you consider that, you see his death, and that’s it. There’s nothing much to gather from that, aside from the fact that he just “disappears” and is never mentioned again. A nice Easter Egg that could, and should’ve been elaborated on further.

This is death in Hyrule, not Termina. I agree that Termina’s handling of death is done on a far better ground and has a lot of depth; however, it’s not Hyrule and is an entirely different universe, which is why it’s been omitted. The last thing anyone wants is to mix two different theology’s together - that’s just too confusing.

@Blademaster
At no point did I mention the split timeline, so I’m unsure why you’re referring to this.

@uberzeldamaster
The ReDead’s aren’t pleasant really, but it could be argued that they are mourning their dead, that or eating them. So either way, they’re not an attractive creature to be around.

In regards to the room at the bottom of the well, I don’t recall it at all if I’m honest with you - and I did go back down there whilst writing this article to make sure I wasn’t forgetting anything; but I clearly did. lol

Additionally, it states in the MM manual that Termina is a parallel universe, so it could be argued that what happens to one world should happen to the other world to a degree. Therefore it wouldn’t be unusual to see some sort of similarities between the two worlds, especially on smaller more ambiguous things.

Actually UZM, they’re the Garo in Ikana Canyon. I can’t check out anything in OoT or MM because I found out that my Collector’s Edition disc was scratched beyond repair ;_; I don’t have any Wii Points for the Virtual console, so I can’t get OoT, and Majora’s Mask isn’t out yet.

Mine are in perfect working condition, what do you need to know?

… In the Bottom of The Well (Farore forbid I have to go down there again), there is a room I have visited. It contains… tombs. The kind you see Dracula sliding the top off of in the older movies. The tops would slide off and Gibdos would come out. And a man in the older Link’s time says that a man’s house used to exist where the well is now. Maybe… it wasn’t a house at all… but a mausoleum? I have never visited that room again, nor explored the well fully, for I fear the darkness of the underground… and the Dead Hands… they are a timeless curse, luring men into the folds of unpeirced darkness only to feast upon their flesh. The Deadhands are truly the most evil creations Nintendo has thought of yet.

… Has anyone else noticed that the Gido’s are forced to kill themselves if defeated? They are the Shiekah of Ikana, but they are more gruesome. Also, add a b into the name, and it spells Gibdo. Coincidence?

I think… there is more than one connection between the worlds of Hyrule and Termina. In the tomb room I mentioned earlier, I found a door that would not open. I did not question it, as I was younger, and I thought nothing of it. This might connect Hyrule’s tomb to a tomb in Termina, perhaps in Ikana? Now I wonder… What lies beyond the door?

The darkness shall consume all… as while the light vanquishes it, the dark does not require a source to exist.
