*** This entire entry is extremely speculative, to the point of being irrelevant. Skyward Sword did not establish that every Princess Zelda is a reincarnation of Hylia; all it said was that the first one was. It also didn't establish that Zelda is supposed to ''look like'' Hylia. On the contrary, there's evidence to suggest the two looked very different.

* How long after Ocarina of Time is this supposed to take place? It seems like it has to have been quite a ways after, given how the Zoras and Kokiris have turned into the the Ritos and Koroks, and the intro states that "none remain" who remember what happened to Hyrule. If it was only 100 years like I've seen a lot of people guessing, it would be fairly likely that the characters we see in-game are at most great-grandchildren of the characters we see in Ocarina, so it seems weird that they'd have little accurate info on what had happened -- I mean, ''Triumph Forks'', really? But on the other hand, it can't have been ''too'' much longer afterwards either; Ganondorf seems to have gotten quite a bit of CharacterDevelopment and become OlderAndWiser, so I doubt it would seriously take him that long to come up with his plans in this game.

*** I don’t know what game you were playing to reach this conclusion. There are several examples of advice given by the Fishmen that is at least partially misinformed: they imply that Zunari will reward Link for stopping Mila from breaking into his safe (in reality, it’s Mila who rewards you), that the way to obtain the Magic Armor is by winning him over with flattery (actually, you get it by trading for two new items in the trade sequence), they don’t notice that the Forsaken Fortress has been abandoned until two dungeons after it’s happened, and they constantly refer to the Triforce shards as “Triumph Forks”. All of these hints have a certain ring of truth to them — like the hammer+ice arrows strategy — but they’re all muddled slightly by some falsehood that’s been miscommunicated or just made up.
** A simple answer could be that the “that big monster” part is a mistranslation from the Japanese version, and was intended to refer to the Moblins in the fortress, not the singular Helmaroc King.

[[folder: Escaping the Great Flood]]
* According to King Daphnes, the inhabitants of the Great Sea are descended from those the goddesses "chose" to escape to the mountaintops when Hyrule was flooded, implying it was a selective process and that not everyone was given the opportunity. But at the same time, Hyrule wasn't ''actually'' flooded in the Great Flood; as seen in the game, it has its own pocket of air underneath the water that keeps it safe. Building on that, the kingdom was apparently frozen in time until Link drew the Master Sword, meaning whoever didn't ascend to the mountaintops would've been in stasis with everything else and therefore safe from starvation and such. Based on these two things, wouldn't there still be people living underneath the water during Link's journey?

* And if so, how can that be? All things considered, the game is pretty vague about it - there’s mention of “the blood of the sages” and Makar needing to ease the regrets of his ancestors - but if he meant that literally, this game and Ocarina of Time implied that the Koroks and Kokiri are both born from the Deku Tree, and that at least the Kokiri were perpetual children. So how could Fado have sired a line of descent that linked him to Makar?

* How exactly does the Pirate's Charm work? When Link first uses it, Tetra says she can see him through it, but that he can only hear her voice. Later you find out the King of Red Lions can talk to you through it too. Speaking to Niko after you've gotten the bombs reveals that Tetra has her own stone that she uses to communicate with Link, which presumably means that the King of Red Lions has a completely separate one, as well. But if there are three of them and they're meant to allow for communication between different people, why is it Link can't see or contact either of the other two stones, and how did Tetra not realize there was a third stone?
