Corazon Wrote:See, there's the problem. Ocarina of Time doesn't have any post-game content, so the story's time is frozen in that one spot. With other games, like Summon Night or those that actually have post-game content (Megaman X Command Mission excluded), the game does update to NOT force the final boss on you. Therefore, in this case, there's an issue of real time questlines, which not many games actually possess.We're getting a bit off of Maple here, but there is no 'problem' in a lack of post-game content in Ocarina of Time.
It's not necessary.
Not every game facilitates or even would benefit from post-game content. In fact, in many cases, this would just dilute the primary arc of the game.
I'd also like to point out that, if you can do it before the final boss, it's not post-game content.
Corazon Wrote:Yes. But he's never been the final boss. He's been a major factor in guiding the events of what goes on, but we've never DIRECTLY confronted him.You contradict yourself too easily:
"You can reuse him for a plot, sure. But do that more than once, and it suddenly becomes ugly."

Both these things are dictated by Viaje's logic."
Hurrwhat? I don't even know what that's supposed to mean.
Corazon Wrote:Well, that's because Star Force and Battle Network don't even tie into each other canonically - Megaman Classic, X, Zero, and ZX all do in one way or another. You just have to notice the cutoff points. Some games aren't exactly canon, and are more of a fan-demand/joke (least to me). Hell, even Classic doesn't tie into Battle Network nor Star Force - they're spinoffs.Star Force takes place 200 years after Battle Network. That's officially established.
All the other main series are connected, it's true, even as far as Megaman Legends coming after ZX.
Battle Network isn't a 'spin-off', nor could it be.
If anything, it takes place in an altered timeline.
Glad that fan opinion doesn't establish official canon.
