For those Zelda gamers out there who love to think that Nintendo actually does have this rich history behind the land of Hyrule and that all of the games are deeply interconnected, then Hyrule Historia is the gift that keeps on giving. While most of the Japanese Zelda fans will have already probed the vast tome of Zelda information already, we English-speakers are having a slower time of it as each page is painstakingly translated for us by fans.

And with the official timeline already revealed, some thought that that was all there was to be revealed. Not so! Zelda Universe forum member The Baton of the Wind revealed last night a connection between Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess that many theorists had been debating over for quite some time. However, now we can easily say with certainty that the Heroâ€™s Shade from Twilight Princess is indeed OoTâ€™s very own Hero of Time.

From Hyrule Historia, the text reads:

When Link first set foot in the Twilight, the crest of the Triforce of Courage shined on the back of his hand; when he returned to human-form he wore clothes the hero wore. Link is taught mysteries from the ghost of the hero of time. Since he returned to his childhood, heâ€™d felt regret that he would leave his name as hero. Therefore, the â€œsonâ€ of Link speaks proof of the courage he inheirited mysteriously.

Looking back on it, the connection does seem pretty clear, though everything always seems 20/20 when you already know the answer. However, when you stop and think about the fact that Twilight Princess exists the only timeline in which the Hero of Time actually survives and exists makes it pretty clear that Miyamoto and Aonuma must have been doing some conspiring here all along to help tell a more cohesive Zelda timeline, even if all of the details werenâ€™t actually revealed in-game but merely hinted at.

What other little secrets will we discover in this book? It certainly makes me hungry for an official translation!
