If Link Went To The PAST In Tears of the Kingdom With Zelda 

Rauru assumed otherwise with that line but he's wrong because the developers made a time loop story again. That's what SS was. A loop. Everything that SS's Link and Zelda do in the past only helps to create the very same world that they grew up in. The defeat of Demise in the past destroyed his body and trapped his mind in the Master Sword to be eroded away to nothing over time, but it left the essence of his power behind for Impa to reseal. The part of him that was like a primal force of nature. In the present day, that mindless remnant of Demise leaks out of the seal and takes shape as the Imprisoned beast that we fight a few times throughout the game. It could not reform its original body and it lacked the intelligence that used to drive it, so it became a wild rage beast. And TotK is meant to come across as a loop as well. We should assume that the Light Dragon was always there the whole time, staying out of the way of however many tens of thousands of years of history until the time was right. Before Zelda went back in time, Ganon already recognized Zelda and knew of Link and the Master Sword from Rauru's boasting in the final moments of the fight between Ganon and Rauru. The devs would've presented the state of present day Hyrule very differently if they were to attempt to write the story in a way that takes Link into the past as well. Because it would need to be a loop that supports that result as the status quo. The cause of them being sent back into the past in the first place would most likely look completely different from the TotK we saw. And it would be an alternate reality, a different timeline, from the continuity established for BotW and TotK. Heck, just for fun maybe set the story in Lorule's reality / timeline instead of Hyrule? Just enough similar elements as the TotK Imprisoning War story but set in a very different version of the world. (Take the BotW/TotK map and imagine it with the design of the terrain in each area flipped so that hot areas in one world are cold in the other, dry areas in one world are wet in the other, lush thriving areas in one world are desolate in the other, etc. Plus the vice versa of all those statements. I'd hope to see bigger differences than what LBW did though. Perhaps Lorule never abandoned its Great Plateau and their massive palace is built up there while there would be little of importance in the location in Lorule corresponding to where Hyrule built its palace, for example.) The story would be about Hilda and Ravio finding themselves sent back in time to aid in an ancient war.

Link going back in time with Zelda would doom Hyrule in both ages. Zelda didn't fall into the chasm and teleport thru time until AFTER jerky Ganon broke the Master Sword. It's implied in the memories that the only reason Link could destroy the Demon King was because of the thousands of years the Master Sword had to recover with Zelda. Huge problem, would take a lot of explaining away.

This would be an amazing opportunity for sure with different twists, and new arias to explore. Having Link living the events as they unfold and doing a quest to heal the Master Sword! It would be a game I would like to play!

I just like the idea of Link going back with Zelda instead of being stuck in the present having to clean up the aftermath just like how BotW was like. I think that's what is missing from the latest two games, we're not helping the current issue, we're in the aftermath of it. Plus the whole map could've easily been changed during the past era that it would've felt brand new to explore. New characters and what not.

Awesome Video Bro!!

Short answer, ganondorf would have gotten the hands 10,000 years early

Interaction with the g man would be awesome

a good thing link went back with zelda in this hypothetical if he was the only one dragged back through time by the secret stone it'd probably take all of 30 minutes before he tries to swallow the thing completely unprompted and unaware of it's effects we've seen that guy eat actual magma rocks in age of calamity, he would not be above the tiny little glowing pill if nobody was there to stop him

if link went back and zelda created a time portal with zonai tech, things could play out similarly to skyward sword with link having to deal with ganon in both times

If that happened it would have made TOTK 100% better!

I will fucking scream if ur ending prediction is true at next months direct

I just thought about this today. Wtf

Oh this would be OoT 2 with split timeline

Would he have been able to destroy Ganondorf in the past without the master sword? It was shattered BEFORE Zelda went back in time.

Link going back in time to where Zelda was could be a good plot for a Warriors game based on TOTK about the Imprisoning War! EDIT: I wrote my original comment before watching the very end 😂

Then we would have gotten a real sequel instead of BotW DLC 2 : Minecraft with a Zelda skin lmfao
