Could you SURVIVE in Ocarina of Time?

Surviving Ocarina of Time for 3 days: 😃 Surviving Majoras Mask for 3 days: 💀

Let’s not forget though that pretty much every single body of water in Hyrule gets filtered through the Zora kings butt crack.

“Who gets the Triforce of Courage” Plot twist: I get the Triforce of Power and become the villain, and Ganondorf gets Courage

I like how you showed 5/5 for traversability at the end while showing us a mechanism for travel that would almost certainly rip our arms out of our sockets.

Every moment you spend surviving, Ganondorf only grows more suavemente.

For the Triforce bit, that's essentially what happens in Wind Waker- there is no Legendary Hero to reincarnate, so the Triforce of Courage just splits up and has to be found again. It's definitely a thing to think on.

It's important to note that when the Triforce splits, the pieces don't go toward whoever already possesses their qualities, but whoever desires each quality the most. Link being absent from the world and no longer seeking to prove his courage since he's watching YouTube on your couch means he's disqualified now. Since you want to survive in Hyrule above all else, it's only fair that you get the Triforce of Courage.

In the child timeline, after Link gets sent back to the past by Zelda, he reveals the truth about Ganondorf preventing him from being able to take over until Twilight Princess. By that logic, if YOU were sucked into the game world, you would be able to do the same thing as Link. Once you know that Ganondorf is evil, you can tell everybody and prevent him from taking over.

Maybe the magic beans could be a source of food. The guy selling them is eating a lot of them.

"You blink and you find yourself in Link's house" Wheelchair users: "Guess I'll die."

Don't hang around the woods too long, or you might end up in Termina. And we all know that world has a more terrible fate.

I would team up with the guy that was making a bomb , to make a gun to shoot the Ganon

Kakariko may SEEM comfy at a glance, but remember it's flanked by an active volcano on one side, a graveyard with actual ghosts on another side, is home to not one but two buried torture sites housing the vengeful undead, and also features a house full of cursed spider people. Plus the neighbors play their music really loud all night and you'd never get any sleep. The real chad move is to live at Lon Lon Ranch and work as a ranch hand. Comfy horseback riding, an endless supply of milk and dairy products, a jolly old man who entertains you with chicken hide-and-seek and is more than happy to marry off his incredibly beautiful songstress daughter to you, and the worst thing that happens there throughout the course of the game is a hostile buyout by the local Ganondorf fan.

imagine having to consume 7.5 liters of water every 12 minutes

I think with the danger factor there's a couple of things to consider: 1) Only the hero of time is able to pull the sacred blade, and that's ultimately what causes the sacred realm to open. Without it, we have to question if even with the medallions, Ganondorf would be able to get to the sacred realm 2) Assuming we have foreknowledge about what happens in the game, we can just do what happens at the end of the game. We can warn Zelda and the king of Hyrule of what's to come before Ganondorf comes to power and he'd be executed

Maybe you can do what Link does in the child timeline and snitch on Ganondorf by letting the King know that he killed the Deku Tree, put a parasite into Jabu Jabu, and is starving the Gorons. The only problem would be getting the King's attention and willingness to hear you out. If he listens, then Ganondorf is caught, executed, and Hyrule is safe far longer than a long human lifespan. This would probably lead to a similar world to the Child Timeline, except the Hero of Twilight wouldn't exist, which kind of screws over the events of Twilight Princess. Also, Termina would be destroyed unfortunately.

The presence of scarecrows in Lake Hylia implies crops I think.

Some things I found noteworthy: * Unless they saw you emerge from Link's House, the Kokiri probably wouldn't care about an adult being there, people visit Kokiri all the time, that's why there's a shop. They would, however, expect you to be only visiting. * The Deku Tree would absolutely hear you out, but he would absolutely not allow you to stay. Without the protection of a Fairy, you'd get lost in the mist and become a Stalfos. He'd probably give you some advice on where you could go at least. * The cows eat hay, so we can assume that NPCs need to eat, we just never see it on screen. * Do not eat Deku Nuts, those are not vegetables, they explode with a blinding light when hit hard enough. * How to get a place? Simple: Impa's house in Kakariko is open to the public, so people are just allowed to stay there if they don't have a home anywhere else. Alternatively, if you're okay with listening to people scream about how bad being cursed sucks, you could always crash in the House of Skulltula. * Possibly a continuation of the Cows eating Hay thing; In order for the hypothetical to make sense, we have to assume that the world becomes real (IE NPCs become people) or else no events happen and no one but us ages. In games like this, Time moves with the protagonists footsteps, so if we treat the NPCs as NPCs during the Hypothetical, Ganon becomes a non-threat, as does the pressure he's put on the various leaders of the land, as no future events will happen unless we walk into the exact correct place.

"Traversibility" would be absolutely interesting for a game like Minecraft. Sure, Steve can jump up blocks half his height just fine, but you? I'd be tuckered out after climbing a small hill. And how would mining blocks affect your own stamina? Even creating a hole in the ground that's the size of a Minecraft block can take about 30 minutes to an hour.

"It would be easy to find a group to fit into" I feel like the Gerudo are a great option to join. At least for me. They are not in immediate danger of Ganondorf (as they are working for him) and the Gerudo are only hostile to outsider men, not outsider women. With no Link around to stop Ganondorf, it feels like the safest bet. Even if Ganondorf fails to obtain the triforce of power, it would mean the alliance with Hyrule he makes with the king would ensure a bright future.
