I'm not to posting it yet, but I figured I'd give a spoiler for one of my yet to be posted Zelda concepts.

Basically, due to dire straights, Link goes to a hidden location of the goddesses that holds the history of Hyrule's three timelines, and within it, three hallways of note. Hall of Rulers(Zeldas), Hall of Heroes(Links) and Hall of Villains.

In each of those hallways, there'd be statues of the characters represented. But some are much larger than others, due to either multiple forms or multiple adventures.

Example, Vaati's Statue would be extremely complex, having each of his forms not just from a single game... but from each game that the same incarnation has been through. Example, the Vaati in Minish Cap, Wind's Return, Four Swords, Four Swords Adventures, The Hidden Courage, and Rise of the Tides are all actually the same Vaati only split among the three timelines. And the Link from A Link To the Past, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, and Link's Awakening are all the same Link.


To make the statues more focused though, each would have a focal point.

Towards that end, imagine on a raised platform, an older version of the ones that survived with an aged character design, with an outfit partially influenced from all the items he(or she in Zelda's case) on their adventures. And for the villains, a ghostial form of how their spirit looks with features of each of the forms intermixed, shown via a hologram between the statues created from a crystal platform between the statues surrounding it.


As an example of an older form... imagine a statue of Zelda for Spirit Tracks. It has her royal princess form with bow and arrow on one side, her Phantom self on another side(possibly more than one phantom self since there's more than one Phantom design), a ghost self floating behind but positioned to be in view, and each of the statues surrounds a raised platform, upon which stands an adult older Zelda whom, no longer in just princess gear, now wears enchanted armaments partially based on the Phantoms, possibly with the shield having a chamber fitting the bow of light within, so she can swap between melee and bow freely. Basically, an older Zelda whom learned from the adventures she was on with Link.

Admittedly, most of the Zelda statues would be more mage-like in nature, but still.


And you can just imagine how an older Link whom evolved based on his adventures in that incarnation of life would look like.


Admittedly, the Link from Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, and Conflict of Spirits wouldn't be too old, considering that he died young enough(likely from environmental hazard instead of from monster) for his reincarnation to live in the same lifetime as Niko did. That, or the Niko in Spirit Tracks is a Niko Jr., but I doubt it.


What do you all think?

Cool idea, it's pretty cool that over 25 years, Zelda has developed this super crazy mythos
