(This was a note that Dan wrote to me (davogones) in a PM on the Zelda.com forums) FROM: NOA_DANO SENT: 04-11-2003 09:36 AM Re: Q/A Session? Heh, well, all I can tell you is, when I asked Mr. Miyamoto about the order of the games, he admitted that he didn't know! I really think the order of the stories is not that important to the game's creators. Each game is a stand-alone piece, and if there are connections between them, that's great. But they never intentionally do things in a game just so it will connect with another. The creators did tell me a few times that they didn't want to set any story points in stone, as that would restrict them in future games. I worked on three Zelda games screen text. Even when writing the text, it was funky because they were very picky about the wording so it wasn't specific. It made it sound strange, but hey it was their game so I did the text the way they wanted. So.... not sure if I can really give more details than that.... DANO
