"Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition happens outside of the timeline entirely, similarly to Breath of the Wild. It exists in all of the timelines because Ganondorf's soul gets split into multiple pieces that go into different timelines, and again, that's in the story itself. Link figures out that there are multiple timelines in this time, okay? ... Link knows about every timeline, and he's done hanging out with his friends here in the Time Break, so what does he do? He decides to settle down, get a real job. And what can he do better than everyone else? That's right, he knows every location in every timeline. I'm talking location, location, location. He gets his real estate license. He buys up every land, he consolidates every timeline, and pushes it all into one space. How does he do it? [adds a pin to board] Legend of Zelda Monopoly. The most important Legend of Zelda game of all time, the one that makes Breath of the Wild make sense. Reggie, TAKE! FUCKING! NOTES! I just saved your ass, with MONOPOLY. This is the pin that holds the entire Zelda timeline together. YOU MADE ME USE MONOPOLY-"
