A tale of two games

Two games came out last November that really caught my attention.  One thing that has piqued my interest is how remarkably similar they are.

Official Zelda Timeline

Wait, I didn't post about this yet?

For the 25th anniversary of the Zelda series, Nintendo has released the "Hyrule Historia," a book detailing development, official art, and most importantly, the relation of the games to one another.

Even More Zelda Without Zelda

I might do more of these if Nintendo's going to just do all the work for me.

 No Zelda to see here, move along.

More Zelda without Zelda

This time Wind Waker gets the treatment

Gasp!

Zelda is a little more absurd as the fans will buy a Zelda, be very unhappy with it, and say to themselves, “This is an outlier. The next Zelda will be as amazing as Ocarina of Time / Link to the Past /Zelda I and II/ etc.” After the next bad Zelda, they say the same thing. And the cycle goes on and on. If anything is going to change in Zelda, this cycle must end.

  I can't emphasize enough how true this is.  I assume this is what Highlander fans feel like.

Zelda without Zelda

Spirit Tracks is not a Zelda game, and I have proof.

Can someone please tell me what part of this says "Legend of Zelda?"

How about this one?
