Link's Awakening probably takes place after the Oracle games, as the Oracle games end with him leaving Hyrule via ship.

Unless they're attacking or in an platform heavy area where flying doesn't matter.

[up][up][up]It does. Hyrule Historia says that ALTTP, OOS, OOA, and LA happen in that order.

Don't forget A Link Between Worlds, the ALttP sequel.

Yeah, I know it came out after the Historia.

Honestly, before HH, I always thought it happened when you went through the Raft path in Zelda II. Unlike in Zelda 1, it actually was between two full continents. And dreams can last a while.

Not that I mind either. I love the game either way and it was designed to be able to take place practically anywhere in the storyline, preferably after Malon and Talon canonically existed(Minish Cap would be first).

Also, gotta get the new update. Thankfully I saved no replays. I might finish up Smash Run with everyone first, though... if only cause the computers are tougher.

There's still the theory that part of ''Zelda II'' takes place in the setting of the original game.

I wish I had a reliable network in college so I can connect my 3DS and Wii U to the Internet.

Ackh, I goofed up! Excuse me.

Don't forget A Link Between Worlds, the A Ltt P sequel.

Yeah, I know it came out after the Historia.

That one is an indirect sequel, though- A Link Between Worlds takes place in some broad span of time between Link's Awakening and the very first Zelda game.

Really? Damn, for the longest time I thought ALBW took place at most a few months after ALttP.

Now I remember that before ALBW's release, one of the developers, possibly Aonuma, said that the game would take place somewhere else in the timeline. Up until now, I just didn't know where.

I guess I assumed it took place after ALttP because everyone was calling it "A Link to the Past 2" before its official title was revealed.

That was the un-official name they gave it before they actually showed off the game.

[up] It's also the Japanese title.

But anyway, I'm having a lot of trouble obtaining Link's non-Gale Boomerang in this game. Much of the time when I play on Bridge of Eldin in Classic Mode, the roulette doesn't even have customs available. It's the only custom move of Link's that I have yet to unlock.

Just go through Smash Run as Link over and over. Don't stop searching for treasure chests and always focus on picking up the custom parts first. I, with great effort, managed to obtain every special move.

All that's left for me are the hats...

Edit: Forgot the possibility of one playing the Wii U version (I should really get back to that). It's a shame they replaced Smash Run with the abysmal Smash Tour. What were they thinking when they came up with this horrid game mode?

[up]Why didn't they just bring back Melee's Adventure Mode?

One of my livestream friends thinks it's because Sakurai wanted to try something new.

Eh. It wasn't impressive, but I found it fun enough. I still found it way more fun than Sonic Shuffle, which was abysmal compared to Mario Party.

And that's obvious; Sakurai considers Smash a party game and made a party mode for it. Of course, it definitely could use improvements. But I think the fact he wanted to do a unique idea based upon Mario Party is cool. It's confusing, though. I'm more annoyed by some of the Challenges associated with it(freaking Metroid one...) though. I want to try it with some human players. Overall, I found items hard to use properly. Other than that, I had no glaring issues with it. Just that it wasn't supremely good overall. But that's just "It could be better" anyway.

But I'm just livid about Smash Tour. Worst game mode ever.

It's just another step forward to him I guess. Maybe he could've tried something a little different, but it doesn't matter in the end.

I know it was the absolute first thing he considered. Which begs the question, what was he smoking? Surely the "For Fun" gamemode would have provided enough unpredictable factors, right? Because not all of us play "For Glory".

Surely he could have made the mechanics a lot more fair and flexible. Maybe not having four players all the time could have helped, or preventing CPU players from using guest Miis when there were enough in your plaza would have been a good start, hmm?

For me, Smash Tour is a great leap backward. Akin to the great leap of Chinese communism (in which it had huge penalties).

The more deeply people play Smash Bros., the more they start seeking higher levels of precision in the gameplay. At the end, this leads them to prefer the Final Destination stage with no obstacles, no items, certain stock settings, etc. We did try to make this game so you can play it any way you like along these lines, but that approach does veer a little from the original intention of the design.

Oh, Sakurai, you really don't know anything about the competitive community and how they love Smashville.

Well, excuse me for liking playing the game in a certain way. So far, most people I know like stock battles more than smash tour. I was burnt out just unlocking Pac Land.

Part of what makes me so sad about Smash Tour is how it got so much wrong when Smash Run got so much right, both by comparison and in general. There's still a randomization element, sure, but Smash Run lets the player retain far more control at all times whereas Smash Tour tends to break down into sheer random number comparisons pretty fast- An early lead is extremely hard to beat in Tour.

I sure said that!
