I agree with you here , man . You don ' t have to plan everything ouy from the beginning of a series to have a cohesive timelone you just have to make sure followups havd legible and logocal connections to previous entries . Zelda 2 was meant to follow Zelda 1 , ALttP was built as a prequel , with Link ' s Awakening as a sequel to that , and OoT was always meant to be the ' beginning of the timelone ' going as far as thr plot basicallh retelling the history explained at the beginning of ALttP . Every game does have it ' s connections , so what if it ' s not planned ? They constructed the timeline to still make sense regardless of this detail , which is very impressive imo . <| sep |> Me too . Their chipotle sauce is to die for .
