History Headscratchers / ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink

* Why do the previously aquatic zoras look like [[StockDinosaurs Ankylosauruses]]?

* So what's the deal with Hyrule being bisected by an entire Sea/Ocean in this game and pretty much nowhere else? This troper gets that Zelda 1 took place in the SW corner of the Map(below Death Mountain) but Link to the Past Hyrule is shown to be landlocked and there's no hint of WHY Hyrule has a big body of water in the middle that doesn't appear in any other game(and since Zelda 2 is the last in it's respective timeline there's no expansion on this). Eve wierder when you consider that BOTW is implied to occur in the far future with elements of all 3 timelines(though BOTW does have an ocean on the right side).

** Even with the backing of the Royal Family of Hyrule and a potentially large reward, how many people do you think would be willing to face hordes of Dairas, Goriyahs and other fiends, as well as run through volcanoes and fight dragons and demons? [[/folder]]

** Sleeping Zelda leaves with Link to settle down quietly somewhere. She'd ''have'' to know that she's too far out of touch to be a proper ruler.

* How come Link doesn't recruit or hire help to tackle his quest for the palaces or dealing with TheRemnant of Ganon's soldiers? The towns must be crawling with mercenaries or traveling adventurers who would probably be drawn to Hyrule; with all the monsters running around, the country would be a magnet for such wanderers.

*** That and/or he could have talked his way into things, especially with Saria's humility asssuring she doesn't speak up.

** In addition to above, there may be matter of the elder Zelda's cursing that prevents the Triforce of Wisdom from working right, perhaps playing a role in the decay. But the completion of the game means both scenarios are undone, thus meaning Lin can die of old age without worry.

*** That and/or he could have talked his way into things, especially with Saria's humility esuring she doesn't speak up.

* Those who have played ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' know that most of the towns in ''Zelda II'' are named after the sages (Rauru, Ruto, Saria, Nabooru, Darunia). But how did Mido get a town named after him? In ''OoT'' Mido was nothing more than a {{Jerkass}} to Link who was jealous of his friendship with Saria. So why does he get his own town in ''Zelda II'' but Impa (the Shadow Sage) doesn't?

** If you think about it, Mido did have a larger role than most NPCs during the second half of the game, as Saria appointed him to stand guard over the path to the Forest Temple and made sure no one else tried to follow her. Alternatively, the towns were meant to be named after leaders or important people from each tribe, and some of them just happened to be sages - Mido was the self-styled Boss of the Kokiri, so he could've been regarded as a prominent figure within their culture.
